Just when Xiao Zuo was anxious, autumn was coming. Xiao Shiyi was happy and in a good mood at home every day, and Liuli found a light master who was about the same size as Huo Honglian, dressed up as a sister, and covered her face with a light veil, using Xiao Shiyi's connections and Xiao Zuo's lack of time to scruple Wen Ningzhi, coupled with the empty heart of hundreds of officials, he stole into the prison of the Criminal Department every day to see the former Ning Anhou who fell from the clouds into the mud and was still in the mud.

So, every midnight Wen Ningzhi, he saw an ethereal red shadow coming to him, and he didn't speak, Sen Sen's eyes only stared at him. That appearance and dress, that fiery dress, who is it not Huo Honglian?

"Someone, someone, there's a ghost!" He screamed miserably.

The cell boss had a lot of bribe money in his waist, thinking that he was an admirer of General Huo, hating Wen Ningzhi's actions, and specially came to pretend to be a ghost to scare him, so he pretended not to see anything very cooperatively, and only reprimanded, "What are you yelling about?" I think you're weak-hearted, right? If you do something wrong, you will encounter a ghost. Like you, you should have been strangled to death a long time ago, if General Huo Yingling made a move, I am afraid that it will pollute the integrity of others. Ghost? Are you still afraid of ghosts? In a few days, you'll be a ghost. I'm afraid that when I go underground, I have to go down to the oil pot to fry it, and I have to go to the pestle in the stone mortar, and I will have endless painful punishments. ”

Wen Ningzhi saw that only he saw Huo Honglian, and he firmly believed that a ghost was coming to him, and he was so frightened that he couldn't eat or sleep. In fact, Xiao Zuo didn't break his promise to him, and sent people to serve him with delicious food and drink, but when he thought of the soon-coming questioning, he couldn't swallow even if there were delicacies from the mountains and seas. Now he is frightened every night, and he is completely dehumanized by mental torture.

For more than half a month, he not only saw the seemingly empty red shadow every day, but also smelled a lotus fragrance. The red lotus once had that very beautiful lotus fragrance. It was only when he smelled the scent that he felt better. As a result, a deep sense of guilt also arises.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. This is projected onto behavior. There is an equivalent effect.

Seeing that the day was coming, Wen Ningzhi didn't feel anything, maybe he was scared, scared, and numb. When I saw "Huo Honglian's soul" again, I only felt desolate, and the fear disappeared.

"Red Lotus, I can't stand you. But you know, I'm just the executioner, not the mastermind. I'm not afraid of being punished, I just want you to see that person clearly. Even if it's dead. Die to understand. ”

"Huo Honglian" floated quietly for a while, for the first time in so many days, her voice was stiff and hoarse, which was fundamentally different from the past, but Wen Ningzhi was already convinced, and did not doubt him, "If you really want to forgive your sins, tell the truth on the execution ground." The truth. It must be white! ”

"I'm ......" Wen Ningzhi was pleasantly surprised, because Honglian finally ignored him, and he felt that he had been redeemed.

"Don't be afraid of Xiao Zuo's revenge on the Wen family. He's already too busy to take care of himself. As long as you are willing to tell the truth, someone will collect your body, and I will forgive you for your sins. ”

"Red Lotus! Red Lotus, can you really forgive me? Wen Ningzhi shouted. Huo Honglian" is gone, and there is only a wisp of lotus fragrance.

At noon on the second day, Wen Ningzhi was taken to the execution ground on time.

this day. The vicinity of the execution ground was crowded with people, beheading a traitorous minister, and the common people were as happy as if they were celebrating a festival. Liuli, accompanied by Xiao Shiyi, sat down in the private room on the second floor of the only restaurant nearby, not caring about the poor environment, because she wanted to see Wen Ningzhi's ambush with her own eyes and pay off the damage caused to her sister.

On the torture platform, Wen Ningzhi's sense of fear returned. Anyone would tremble in fear when they faced the glaring knife in the executioner's hand. In particular, the chill seemed to stick to his neck.

He didn't know what he was looking for in the crowd, he just greedily looked at the world again. He knew that he had been removed from the Wen family, and he also knew that his two daughters had cut off contact with him and had never come to the prison to see him. Now he has nothing, but he is full of nostalgia for the world.

But suddenly, he saw an old man in the crowd.

That's Jinbo! The old man was in tears, with a collar of straw mats under his ribs, and it seemed that he was going to collect the corpse. Wen Ningzhi couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately forgave Jinbo for the mistake of "betraying" him, only to feel that there were still people crying for him before he died, and it was not in vain to live this life.

He struggled to look up to see if the sun was shining overhead. But at this moment, he smelled a sweet and familiar fragrance of lotus flowers, and the red silk on the handle of the executioner's big knife was blown by the wind, like the skirt that red lotus often wears. Somehow, he instantly remembered what Red Lotus had said to him last night, and his chest was suddenly full of courage. Before he noticed it, the executioner shook a sachet in front of his nose and hid it tightly.

The fragrance made him suddenly struggle to raise his head as if he had received some divine order, and shouted in the loudest voice he could, "General Huo Da Hero I, I gave her a paralytic medicine, which caused her child to be stillborn, affecting the mother's body, and finally killing two corpses. As soon as he spoke, the buzz around him stopped, making his words sound clearer, "I did it, and I don't quibble or deny it." I'm the biggest bastard in the world, and it's not a pity to die. However, it was at the will of others that I did such evil. I was at the emperor's behesse! It's him, it's the emperor, he doesn't want the Northwest Huo Jiajun to threaten his imperial power, so he tricked General Huo into coming to Beijing and let me secretly kill him! Even the death of Huo Jianglin, the old general Huo, was planned by the emperor and joined hands with the Tatar Arutai. He, the emperor, is for the sake of cutting the domain. For this matter, he did not hesitate to associate himself with foreign enemies. This is the emperor, the emperor of our Da Zhao! Ha ha. General Huo, it's me Wen Ningzhi I'm sorry for you, I swear to the sky today, and there is no word of lie in my words before I die, otherwise, let me be reincarnated as a pig and dog for generations, and I will never be able to turn over! As he spoke, he slammed one of his heads on the ground. The strength was so heavy that blood immediately appeared on the forehead.

If there are any, it will make people believe it when they say it, let alone this kind of dying last words? And when Wen Ningzhi's words fell, the people exploded. The scandal of a marquis made the people boil, let alone the emperor? That frees them from anger.

The supervisor didn't expect this to happen, and it was too late to stop it. The words spoken are like spilled water, which cannot be taken back. He was very afraid that he would be blamed for this, and he was so frightened that he couldn't care that the hour had not come, so he hurriedly pulled out the order and shouted a series of beheadings.

The executioner had already finished the work of spreading incense entrusted to him, so he naturally obeyed the orders of the superiors, so he raised his sword and fell.

After the exclamation, it was blood-red.

Liuli didn't see this scene, because at the critical moment, Xiao Shiyi stretched out his hand to block her eyes. He didn't want his princess to see a cruel scene, even if she came for revenge, but she had borne enough.

After a while, Liuli calmly pulled down Xiao Shiyi's palm and looked out the window. On the side of the execution ground, Jin Bo was already kneeling to collect the body, and what she saw was a bloodstain and Wen Ningzhi exposed the straw mat, which was already shaped like a withered hand.

"For you to tell the truth in the end...... Ruri sighed lightly and said with a straight face, "I forgive you on behalf of my sister." Wen Ningzhi, you have received my forgiveness. ”

"The things are packed up, let's go." Beside him, Xiao Shiyi's warm arms came over.

"How's it going in the palace?"

Hong Changzhi injured his muscles and bones, and he was quietly recuperating. Cui Shufei couldn't borrow her strength, and she felt that the situation was unstable, so she had to mention to Xiao Zuo again that she asked Jiulang to come back, and she was reprimanded and grounded. ”

"Jiurou, will you come back?" Ruri asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Xiao Shiyi shook his head, "I sent him away in the first place, just not to let him get into this kind of whirlpool. Naturally, he won't be allowed to come back. At least, he can't come back until the situation calms down. ”

……

Far away in the southwest border, there are 100,000 mountains, although they do not stand tall into the clouds, they are continuous, and the scenery is beautiful.

Xiao Zhen and Wang Linlang walked out of a certain mountain one day. The two of them went one after the other, Wang Linlang lowered his head slightly, and he was wearing men's clothes.

Walking to the fork in the road, Xiao Zhen turned around and said in a low voice, "There is a farmer in front, I'll borrow clothes for you." I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go back like this. After thinking about it, he suddenly took Wang Linlang's hand again, and said seriously, "Although I know that I am not worthy, I will definitely be responsible." When I return to the military city, I will propose to your uncle and marry you. ”

Wang Linlang raised his head abruptly and said seriously, "Jiulang, don't say that. When it comes to identity, no one is more valuable than you. ”

Xiao Zhen's lips hooked up a slightly bitter smile, "What is precious?" I have been demoted to a commoner, and I have nothing but the blood of the Xiao family in my body. You are different, although you also came to the southwest to avoid trouble, but after all, you are the young lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the niece of the southwest general. ”

"What does it matter? Before, I didn't look up to you because you were a prince. Now, naturally, I won't look down on you because you're just the lowliest handyman in the armory. Wang Linlang's expression and tone revealed true pride, "Actually, as long as I explain it to my uncle, he loves me the most, and he doesn't need you to ......."

"No, no matter how high or low, at least I'm still a man." Xiao Zhen insisted, "Since I ask to marry you, I will personally propose to General Southwest in person." ”

When Wang Linlang heard this, she bit her lip, and although she lowered her head, anyone could see how happy and happy she was.

The two famous princes and noblewomen in Tokyo are no longer what they used to be. Wang Linlang is better, in the end, she is loved by her uncle, and she is still the most noble lady in the military city, but the conditions are limited, less exquisite and gorgeous, and more natural mountain and forest atmosphere, which is very moving. Xiao Zhen no longer has the mark of the prince on his body, the coarse cloth is short, his face is dark and fierce, and his long body has become rough and big. But some people, temperament is born in the bones, these years of tempering not only did not break, but made his whole person exude a rough and responsible charm. Compared to the place where the woman pushes the soup in the palace, he has grown into a real man.
