Chapter 150: The Root of the Bane
"I don't know." Xia Chen had already made up her mind to resist death, so they would have to investigate again, so that they could delay some time, and she believed that Wei Han and Yue Feiyun would come to her soon.
Master Sun snorted coldly: "Wake him up." ”
Immediately, someone carried a bucket of water and poured it on Zhantian's head, Zhantian coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes: "I won't say anything, you don't have to work in vain." ”
Master Sun said: "Zhantian, I don't want you to say who is behind the scenes, I just want you to see your friends." ”
Zhan Tian had already seen Xia Chen at this time, his eyes glanced faintly from her, and he looked at Master Sun with a sneer: "Friend? Where is it? ”
Xia Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his words, he didn't recruit himself, and at the same time, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.
Master Sun slapped the table: "Zhantian, you pretend to be very similar, but it's a pity that my Sun is not a three-year-old child!" Your cousin has already explained that there is a problem between you, you have clearly seen Xia Chen on the boat, but you have never seen it at all, you don't want to cover him up! ”
Zhan Tian coughed a few times again: "As soon as the adult reminded me, I remembered that I seemed to have made a deal with this little boy on the ship, but the light on the boat and here is not very good, and the adult is talking about my friend, and there is no such a small friend in Xia, so I didn't pay much attention to it for a while." ”
Master Sun said: "You don't have to quibble, your bones are hard doesn't mean that your men's bones are also hard, not to mention that they are now complaining that you didn't leave immediately after the mission was completed, but ran back to the burning cabin to find someone." ”
Zhan Tian sneered: "My lord, I will not look for people when I go back next, but for money!" Adults must know that the person who can board the gambling treasure boat of the cyclamen must be carrying a treasure of great value, and of course they have also heard of robbing Luo while the fire is hot? ”
The flesh on Lord Sun's cheeks trembled: "I don't believe that I can't pry your mouth open!" Put a soldering iron on me! ”
The torturer on the side said, "Yes." He pulled out a red-hot soldering iron from the brazier and pressed it directly to Zhantian's abdomen.
A puff of green smoke rose with Zhantian's miserable shouts. The smell of burnt meat immediately filled the air.
Xia Chen's stomach churned, and he vomited a mouthful of bitter water. She has seen such scenes in some films, and she has also seen beatings and even killings, but this scene happened in front of her eyes, her will collapsed instantly, the fire, and the sound became blurry and distant, and she went into shock.
Master Sun pointed to the empty wooden frame next to Zhantian: "Tie him up for me." Wake up! There was a hint of irrepressible excitement in his voice.
Xia Chen was woken up by the water. Finding herself tied to the torture rack, her mood suddenly became unusually calm, and she was now like a piece of fish meat on a knife. It can only be slaughtered in any way, and it is useless to be afraid.
Master Sun said: "Xia Chen, you honestly admit it, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”
Xia Chen said: "My lord asked me to admit that I knew this person. Then I will be asked to summon some accomplices, and I have nothing to do with it, so I can't say it. As a result, he still could not escape the torture to extract a confession. She paused slightly and continued: "It's better for the adults to tell me what to do, or directly write the confession, and I'll draw a charge and we will save trouble." ”
"You! Licentious! Dare to slander the court officials like this. Master Sun was so angry that he stood up from his chair.
Xia Chen said calmly: "According to the laws of the Great Cloud Kingdom, you can't arbitrarily torture criminals without solid evidence. The adults claimed that I was in league with the Assassins, but so far they had not received a single confession. Not a single strong witness was brought! Didn't you bring me here to make a move? ”
Master Sun's eyes were ruthless: "Sophistry! Call me! ”
The executive officer untied the whip in his waist and rounded his arm and pumped it to Xia Chen's side, only to hear a "snap". A blood mark immediately appeared on Xia Chen's body.
Despite the pain, Xia Chen snorted lightly, but she couldn't help but shout, she felt that the more she showed weakness, the more these people wanted to dig something out of their mouths.
One, two, three...... There were blood marks on Xia Chen's body and shoulders, and his clothes were also torn in some places, revealing blood-stained underwear, and the blood lining the white clothes was even more shocking.
Master Sun suddenly walked up to Xia Chen as if he had discovered something, and ripped off her collar, only to see that Xia Chen was still wearing a close-fitting white silk gown in his underwear, which was almost soaked in blood at this time. He snorted coldly and turned back to the chair and sat down: "I thought you were wearing some kind of protective soft armor, but I didn't expect you to be a hard-boned lord!" But if you don't recruit again, don't blame me for using burning. ”
Zhan Tian couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded loudly: "Dog officer, he is still a child, even if he is willing, we can't let him participate!" Are you human or not, and do you have no sons and daughters? ”
A fierce light suddenly appeared in Lord Sun's eyes: "It is precisely because I have a son that I will not let him go." ”
Zhan Tian was stunned, and then yelled: "Are you a personal vendetta?" ”
Xia Chen took a few breaths: "Lord Sun, your son is Sun Maosheng?" Among the people she knew, there was only one surnamed Sun, and she seemed to have heard that Sun Maosheng's father was in the Criminal Department.
Master Sun did not admit or deny it: "Put on the soldering iron!" "As soon as he thought that his son was scared and sick, and now he has been a little mentally disordered, he hated in his heart, hated this child named Xia Chen, but he has been suffering from no chance to retaliate, this time he happened to hear someone mention Xia Chen when recalling the situation at the time, and under questioning, he learned that he had a conversation with the assassin, and he personally said that he was in the same group as the assassin, so he immediately designated Xia Chen as a suspect and arrested her in prison.
"Dog officer, brute! What are you coming at me! I'll kill you! Zhan Tian kept scolding while struggling.
Xia Chen stared at the reddened soldering iron in the hand of the executioner, a chill drilled from the heart of her feet to her heart, and she stared at the expressionless torturer: "Didn't you listen to what he just said?" Aren't you afraid that I will go out and pursue this matter in the future? ”
Master Sun laughed and said, "In the future? Get out? There are people who die every day in the prison, and some people commit suicide because they can't bear the torture, how long do you think you can endure? ”
No! No! Xia Chen had already felt the heat coming from the soldering iron, and she shouted silently in her heart!
Just as the soldering iron was about to stick to her body, and her clothes had been scalded, a loud, but absolutely majestic cold drink came from outside the door: "Stop!" ”
The torturer immediately withdrew his hand, even though he often tortured the offender. But in the face of Xia Chen, he really couldn't bear to start.
Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, almost collapsed, a clear tear slipped from the corner of his eye, Wei Han came to the end.
Master Sun hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Deputy Commander Wei, you should recuperate if you are injured, why bother you to go for such a trivial matter." Although his official quality is half a grade higher than Wei Han, he has no courage to provoke Wei Han. Because there is the Wei family behind Wei Han. And he is a real talent, and he is still a celebrity and close friend by the prince's side, and his future is limitless. Even if he wanted to be angry for his son, he would never dare to offend this person.
Wei Han ignored him, and the two of them walked in front of Xia Chen, drew their swords and cut the rope that bound Xia Chen, and then hugged the crumbling Xia Chen in his arms and said eagerly: "Chen'er." Does it matter if you want to? ”
Zhan Tiandao: "Even if you have a conscience, you are finally here!" ”
Xia Chen noticed that Wei Han's face was not good, and he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Why do you always run around with injuries." ”
Wei Han's eyes were red: "If I come one step later......" He was a little choked up when he said this. He took her in his arms, turned his head and walked out.
Master Sun stepped forward and said, "Deputy Commander Wei, you can't take him away, this case is a big deal." He's suspicious! ”
Wei Han glared at him with tears in his eyes: "Get out!" Master Sun, I will settle this account with you later. ”
Master Sun said in a trembling voice: "Why did Deputy Commander Wei say this? Me, I'm also duty. ”
"Lord Sun, is it? The king can testify that Xia Chen had nothing to do with the assassination. If Lord Sun insists, this king can ask your emperor for a holy decree. The King of the Sea walked slowly down the steps. With the usual elegant smile on his face.
Lord Sun hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." ”
Xia Chen was a little surprised that King Hai Ling would come to the Heavenly Prison, but now she was really unable to think anymore, and her whole body hurt as if she had been torn apart.
A few steps up the steps, Wei Han stumbled and almost fell, cold sweat flowed down his forehead and dripped on Xia Chen's face.
Xia Chen said: "Let me down, I can go by myself." ”
"No!" Wei Han was stubborn.
King Hai Liang said: "Wei Han, I'll carry her up." "He didn't use this king, but me.
Xia Chen said: "Don't dare to bother the prince, besides, my body is full of blood, which will stain the prince's clothes." ”
King Hai Lang smiled slightly: "It's just a piece of clothing, it doesn't matter." He stretched out his arm.
Although Wei Han was reluctant, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to Xia Chen, so he nodded: "There is Lord Lao." ”
King Hailing's movements were very cautious, and he seemed to be pampered, and his body was also slenderer than Wei Han, but it was effortless to walk with Xia Chen in his arms.
Xia Chen was in his arms, unspeakably uncomfortable, completely different from Wei Han's feeling of holding her. She thought that she was not a person who cared much about her status, but this little prince seemed to be born with an unapproachable majesty, although he was always pleasant.
Finally got into the carriage, but Xia Chen had a kind of anxiety in his heart when he first woke up from a nightmare. If Wei Han took a step late, a scorched black mark would appear on her body, thinking about the blurred piece of flesh and blood on Zhantian's body, her stomach churned again.
Wei Han pulled her clothes with one hand: "Chen'er, hold on for a while." After that, he looked at the king of the sea level: "Thank you, lord." ”
King Hai Ling said lightly: "It's a matter of effort, not to mention that I believe he has nothing to do with this matter." ”
Wei Han blamed himself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”
"But ......" King Hai Lao looked at Xia Chen with a deep gaze, "You do know the man in black, right?" ”
Xia Chen didn't want to panic with a person who had just helped him, but he couldn't lightly tell his relationship with Zhantian, God knows if this little prince would get to the bottom of it, and whether this move was a trap for his own safety. "I've only been in Anyang for a short time, how can I know him? Although the man was an assassin, he was also a man of credibility, taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters. ”
King Hai Lang smiled even deeper: "Wei Han, what did that person mean when he said that you still have a conscience?" ”
Wei Han was stunned: "I don't understand, maybe that person knows that Chen'er will make a deal with him in order to save me at that time, and say those words." By the way, the prince, the matter of peace talks ......"
King Hai Lian nodded: "No matter when, there are always some people with ill intentions, this peace negotiation is beneficial to the people of the two countries, this king has signed a truce agreement with your emperor, and this king does not plan to investigate the assassin matter deeply, and this king will return to Xuanguo in three days." ”
Xia Chen asked, "Wei Han, I heard that Brother Yue was seriously injured, do you know how his condition is?" ”
Wei Han said in surprise: "Who did you hear that Feiyun was seriously injured?" ”
"That's Lord Sun."
King Hai Lian said: "Major General Yue's martial arts are world-famous, how can he be injured so easily, but in order to save this king, he has suffered a few minor injuries. ”
Xia Chen felt that he was in pain, and frowned: "In life, there are always some unexpected troubles, and I mishandled a small matter in the academy at the beginning, which caused the bane of today. ”
Wei Han said suspiciously: "Is it because of Wu Juan'er's incident?" ”
"Yes and no." It's because of Wu Juan'er, but it's not the one Wei Han is referring to.
"Yan Shiming, that bastard!" Wei Han couldn't help but scolded in a low voice.
King Hai asked curiously, "This matter is actually related to the son of the Yan family?" ”
Xia Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, although I have a bit of a holiday with Yan Gongzi, this time it is another matter. ”
At this time, the coachman said: "Lord Wang, the garden has arrived." ”
King Hai Liang said: "Wei Han, Chen'er's injury needs to be dealt with immediately, I have the imperial doctor and the wound medicine here." ”
Wei Han said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"You don't have to thank me, I was also entrusted to take care of Chen'er, and I am also responsible for her injury this time." With that, he jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his arm to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen said: "I feel better, just go by yourself." ”
When King Hai Lian heard this, he didn't insist, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the garden, Wei Han's injured arm could no longer be lifted, so he had to use his uninjured arm to help her follow.
King Hai took them directly to the courtyard where he lived, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Xia Chen met Wu Juan'er, who was chasing butterflies, and another charming girl.
Wu Juan'er saw Xia Chen's smile on his face, which was covered in blood, and he trotted over and asked eagerly, "Chen'er, what's wrong with you?" As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Another girl walked quickly to the king of Hai Liang and saluted: "I've seen the prince." Without a trace, he ripped off the corner of Wu Juan'er's clothes.
Wu Juan'er reacted at this time, and hurriedly knelt down: "Juan'er is rude, please forgive the prince." ”
King Hai raised his hand: "Get up, you two go and prepare a few light and delicious meals immediately, and prepare two sets of silk undershirts and a light robe." Then he ordered one of his servants to go to the royal physician. After arranging, he turned his head and said to Wei Han: "Fu Chen'er came to my bedroom." ”
Hearing this, Xia Chen hurriedly said: "I'm covered in blood, how can I enter the prince's bedroom." ”
King Hai Lang smiled slightly: "This king is not so particular, not to mention that other courtyards are inhabited, and the other rooms in this courtyard are also inhabited by show girls and servants, which is not as comfortable as this king's bedroom, you first rest and deal with the wounds, and then let people clean it up." ”
Xia Chen said: "Then I can only be respectful and obey my fate." (To be continued)
