Zheng Lian walked to the corner of the courtyard and stood quietly, but did not turn around.

Nan Ying looked at her arrogant and cold moving figure, and the soft curve of her face when her head was lowered, and the pity in her heart came spontaneously. What kind of heaviness is hidden in this seemingly strong strange woman?

He said softly, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?" ”

"His name is Zheng Tai, the word Gongye, a native of Kaifeng, and now he lives in the position of Shangshu Shilang!" Zheng Lian tilted her head sideways and thought for a while: "I don't remember the past very well, but you will ...... it when you check it."

"I didn't mean to ask that!" Nan Ying interrupted lightly: "I want to ask you why you told me before that all the people in your family have passed away!" He's your father, why don't you recognize him? ”

"My loved ones are all dead! Before you and I met, they all died in that terrible plague! Zheng Lian suddenly turned around and said coldly: "As for him, as early as more than ten years ago, when he drove our orphans and widows out of the Zheng family, I have nothing to do with him!" ”

"Since your surname is still Zheng, he is still your father!" Nan Ying sighed: "Even if he is not in a thousand ways, you don't have to sit back and watch him suffer, right?" ”

"He suffers? In the past ten years, do you know how much my mother has suffered with me and my brother? Zheng Lian screamed: "A woman's family, but she was driven back to her mother's house by her husband's family for no reason, this is a torture that is more painful than death!" Who has come to have mercy on us! ”

"In the end, my mother and brother didn't have a good life! Just walked away with sadness and illness! Zheng Lian burst into tears: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to live anymore!" ”

Nan Ying's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered the numb look she had in the face of death when she first met Zheng Lian, as well as the empty dead air in her eyes.

"I hate him, I wish he died in front of me immediately!" She gritted her teeth and said, "I wanted to follow my mother's surname several times, but my mother didn't allow it!" She said that filial piety is the foundation of living in the world, even if her father is wrong, he still keeps cutting that strong blood feeling! In order not to see the faint disappointment in her eyes again, I endured it! But I will never forgive him! ”

"I'm at least sixty percent sure now, Zheng Tai is a member of the Heavenly Stems Branch!" Zheng Lian suddenly calmed down, this change came suddenly and terrifyingly, she seemed to be talking about a person who had nothing to do with herself: "More than ten years ago, when the Son of Heaven was in the second party, he has not been in office, and it is precisely because of this influence that I have reason to believe that he joined the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch at that time!" It was at that time that he ruthlessly kicked us out of the house, just to keep it from affecting his plans! ”

"You say, such a person!" She turned her face, reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and said calmly: "Can it still be regarded as my relative?" ”

"So, will your father have any troubles?" Nan Ying said softly: "Although I am not a father, I know that a father can not even want his life for the sake of his children!" ”

He thought of his father again, the bloodied old back, and the blood-stained palms that trembled and stretched out. At this moment, his heart was broken, this is his father!

"Bitter?" Zheng Lian said blankly: "Does he have it?" Even if there were, why would they abandon their wives and children? ”

Nan Ying looked at her almost numb look, and felt a pain in his heart. He stretched out his hands and pressed them on Zheng Lian's shoulders.

Under the palm of her hand, her thin and round shoulders were trembling slightly, revealing the panic, loss and hopelessness in her heart.

Nanying's warm palm landed on her shoulder, and she raised her head in some panic, but then lowered it again, and did not mean to avoid it.

"I forgot to ask you! Is life happy in the Eagle's Nest? Nanying's gentle voice came into her ears, and Zheng Lian's face finally showed a hint of joy.

She nodded lightly and whispered, "Good!" It seems that you were right at the beginning, I really can't live without you! ”

"And you are not allowed to leave me without me!" She suddenly showed a rare childlike appearance, and said coquettishly: "Otherwise, Qing'er and I will beat you together, regardless of whether you are the lord or not!" ”

"Of course I won't want you! We are all family, we are relatives! Nanying smiled and said, "And you and Qing'er are my own sisters!" How can I give it? ”

"Just tell me what you say!" Zheng Lian tilted her head and said with a strange expression: "If Qing'er hears it, I'm afraid she will be sad!" ”

"You're too wide! What an eventful person! Nan Ying withdrew his hands, took a step back, looked at the rejuvenated look on Zheng Lian's face, and said softly: "That's right, this is the Zheng Lian I want to appear in front of me!" ”

"Since I'm your brother! I will never let you go! ”

Nanying suddenly turned around and left: "I won't let that hatred and resentment stay in your heart, because it is a poisonous snake, and one day, it will devour your heart!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Zheng Lian trembled and shouted.

"Do what a brother and lord should do!" Nanying stopped: "If you trust me, please unconditionally support all my decisions!" ”

Zheng Lian watched him walk straight into the lobby, vaguely guessed his decision, and wanted to catch up and stop him, but the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and she couldn't even move her feet, she could only lean on the trunk of the tree beside her weakly.

In the cold wind, there seemed to be a soft sigh, like a cry.

"Everyone!" Nan Ying walked into the hall quickly, looked at all the subordinates who had been waiting for a long time, and shouted in a deep voice: "What happened just now and the actions that will be deployed next are classified as confidential, and no one is allowed to spread them!" Violators..."

"Military law engaged!" Four words burst out from between his teeth.

"No! Checkmate! ”

Soon, an edict signed by the Metropolitan Governor was passed down, and ten prisoners who had been temporarily "released on bail" were interrogated in the palace.

Zheng Tai walked into this mansion with a relaxed pace, looking at the wolf-like soldiers on both sides of the gate, with a contemptuous smile on his lips. What tricks are you going to play this time? It's a pity that no matter how much you toss, it's just a waste of effort, and it is impossible to open any breakthrough from him. Sixteen years of underground life have already tempered his heart as hard as iron.

He is Chinese New Year's Eve and is in the prime of a man's life when he is full of energy and experience. At the age of twenty-two, he was raised to filial piety, and his career was about to rise, and he had a beautiful wife and a pair of lovely children at home. For him at that time, he was really high-spirited and had a bright future, and he only felt that there was nothing to do in the world.

However, there was a thunderclap on the ground, and the second party reckon began. Overnight, his mentors and friends were imprisoned, and he was forced to write a letter of repentance to draw a line with him. Just as he was about to retire to the mountains and forests, the mysterious sexagenary branch came to his door, and after a long conversation all night, he lived a two-sided life from then on.

From that day on, he buried the unwillingness and resentment in his heart deep into his heart, turned his ambition into a source of motivation, and wanted to turn things around and reincarnate as a human being. Over the years, he has made great contributions to the heavens and earths, until he sat on the seat of Wuyi......

Just as his thoughts were rushing, a young officer came up to him and saluted him, "It's Zheng Shilang here?" ”

"It's this official!" Zheng Tai nodded and said, "I don't know if the respected driver is ......"

"It doesn't matter who the last one is!" The young general smiled and said, "I have been ordered, please ask Zheng Shilang to ask questions in the back hall!" ”

"Backroom?" Zheng Tai was slightly stunned: "But this official saw that several other colleagues were in the West Courtyard!" ”

"Zheng Shilang, please forgive me!" The young general leaned sideways and made a gesture of "please", "The last general is just carrying out the edict of the official, and I don't know anything else!" ”

"Then there is labor to lead the way!" Although Zheng Tai had a bad premonition in his heart, he was still calm.

But when he stepped into the empty back hall, the alarm returned, for everything seemed so unreasonable.

In the hall, there were neither guards nor scribes, only a young man in a military robe sat upright behind the desk, staring at the book in his hand.

What kind of position is this? Could it be that his identity has been revealed? Thinking about it, Zheng Tai smiled proudly again, there is no real evidence, what can you do to me?

"You're Zheng Tai?" The young man put down the book in his hand and said calmly: "Ben will be looking at your case, but it is really long enough." Ben Jiang is a martial artist, and he has always been ignorant of these words, but he is really a little dazzled! ”

"Ben General?" Zheng Tai was shocked in his heart: "This official is on the order of the capital official to come to be interrogated, who is the general?" ”

"Ahh Actually, it's right! The young man raised his hand: "This general is the new capital official, and at the same time he still holds a military position!" ”

"Introduce yourself, but I believe that Zheng Shilang should be very familiar with the name of the general!" The young man straightened up: "Eagle Yang Zhonglang will be the Southern Eagle!" ”

"Eagle Yang Zhonglang......" Zheng Taiyong's pupils constricted, of course he was familiar with this name, and who in the organization didn't know this name? It turned out that it was this killer and calamity star who personally interrogated themselves, and things might really be a little wrong...... His voice stopped abruptly, the name of the general Nanying may be very famous in the army, but how can he, a scholar in charge of document drafting, remember the name of a new general?

He snorted and disguised: "General Hugh, the lower official seems to have heard of your name, but he can't remember it for a while!" ”

"Won't it?" Nan Ying said with a stunned face: "This general is also a thin and vain name, but Zheng Shilang has not heard of it?" ”

"The general forgives the sin!" Zheng Tai said apologetically: "The lower officials are lowly and small, and there are thirty-six people in Shangshutai alone, all of whom perform their duties, and the case files that the lower officials are responsible for drafting on weekdays do not involve military affairs, so I have not heard of the general's name, but it is normal!" ”

"Is that so?" Nanying shook his head and said, "It's not kind! The general has been dealing with you for so long, didn't Sun Binshuo and Tang Zhou mention my name in front of you? ”

Zheng Tai's mouth was suddenly dry, he never thought that this young man in front of him would be so straight to the point! Moreover, he also named two members who are his equals.

He froze and said with a surprised face, "Who are these two?" Please forgive the general for not knowing, did the general make a mistake? ”

"That's right! Among the twenty-two leaders of the sexagenary branch, not all of them know each other! Nan Ying lightly threw out an astonishing sentence that almost changed Zheng Tai's color: "Actually, there are not many people who know you, at least after Feng Xu dies, who will take his place, Ben Jiang doesn't know!" ”

"General! You summoned the lower officials today! Is it to ask the case, or to play the lower officials? Zheng Tai straightened up and stood up: "If you ask these nonsense things again, the lower officials can only ask to retire!" ”

"Of course, it's a question!" Nan Ying looked surprised and said, "Isn't Jizhou Thorn Shi Wang Fen your Guiyi?" If I don't ask you to ask about the case, who will I look for? ”

"By the way, I heard that the top four people in the Gui Department have all been caught!" He said to himself, "Is it the fifth or sixth to take over?" ”

"The general is cautious!" Zheng Tai finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You say so conclusively that the lower official is Wang Fen's fellow party, do you have real evidence?" ”

"You mean the evidence?" Nan Ying was stunned: "Didn't you write a letter to him?" And that's not proof? ”

"Joke!" Zheng Tai laughed and said: "Wang Fen is a member of the court, and he was a minister with the lower officials, and a letter between friends can be regarded as rebellion?" ”

He looked at Nan Ying: "Please take out that letter, if there is a word in the letter that can prove the disobedience of the lower officials, the lower officials are willing to bow down and wait for death!" ”

"The letter will be read, no problem!" Nanying threw out a sentence lightly, but it almost made Zheng Tai jump.

He roared angrily: "Then how can the general be credible and falsely accuse his subordinates? ”

"Zheng Shilang, your emotions seem to be too excited!" Nan Ying quietly looked at Zheng Tai's eyes: "The so-called clear ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." If Zheng Shilang has a clear conscience, why should he be so out of shape? ”

"Is it?" His face was cold: "Is it a thief with a weak heart? ”

Zheng Tai couldn't help but be terrified, and for the first time realized how terrible his opponent was. With a few words, he almost lost control, did he deliberately provoke himself?

He sneered, straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and said: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated, and the general is also a person with status and fame, how can he be convicted so hastily?" ”

"It's a slippery mouth!" Nan Ying grinned: "Just now you said that you had never heard of the reputation of Ben General, how come you now know that Ben General is a famous person?" ”

"This?" Zheng Tai's heart jumped, and he immediately smiled: "The general is young, but he holds important military and political positions, how can he take on it if he has no real materials?" If the lower official said this, it can't be said that it is unreasonable, right? ”

"You're sharp-tongued! Worthy of their people! Nanying's smile gradually faded, and suddenly there was a "bang", and he slapped the case a few times: "It's a pity, let your tongue be a lotus, and you don't want to step out of this door today!" ”

"General, do you want to torture?" Zheng Tai saw that Nan Ying was angry, but his heart settled down, and he sneered: "Everyone says that under the beating, it will inevitably become a trick, and the official is not talented, but he wants to learn it in person!" ”

"Well prepared!" Nan Ying showed a strange smile: "Of course it will be tortured, but it may not be used on you." Because the general also understands that it is useless for people like you to use torture, and if one does not kill you, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

He picked up the book on the case again, and looked at it line by line: "Everyone has their own weaknesses, and this general is to find out your weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine!" ”

"You, what do you mean by that?" Zheng Tai felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, could it be that this kid couldn't find any tricks for himself? And what does he mean when he says that he uses torture but does not have to do it on himself?

He forced a smile and said: "The lower official is alone, and he has nothing to worry about. What other weaknesses can you find in me? “

"That's right, you seem to be careless right now! But you didn't jump out of the cracks in the rocks! Nan Ying didn't raise his head, and continued to read on the book: "You also have parents, a wife and children, right?" Oh! No, your parents are dead, but what about your wife and children? Wait for a look! ”

The more Zheng Tai listened, the more frightened he became, and a trace of happiness was born in his heart, fortunately, he was cautious enough back then, and he had already ...... his wife and a pair of children

"Aha, found it!" Nan Ying shouted proudly: "You have a wife, Chen, your ancestral home is Chang'an, and you have a pair of children!" ”

"You! Don't threaten me! Zheng Tai almost wanted to stretch his neck to look at the book, but he reluctantly calmed down: "That Chen family violated women's morals, and I divorced more than ten years ago." As for whether I am dead or alive today, what does it matter to me? ”

"Really?" Nanying tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay! I believe what you say, since you say it's none of your business if they're dead or alive! Then, Ben will take advantage of the good mood today to tell you a good news for free! ”

He leaned forward and said with a smile, "You know about the pandemic a year ago, right?" Your ex-wife Chen and your only son both died of the epidemic, and their graves are now in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an! Happy? ”

"What?" Zheng Tai only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body couldn't help shaking a few times. He laughed miserably: "Good! Good! Well dead! ”

His heart ached, and he couldn't help but stare at Nan Ying with hatred, look at what are you threatening me with now!

"Don't rejoice too soon!" Nan Ying did not back down to meet his resentful gaze that chose people to eat: "Could it be that Zheng Shilang has forgotten?" You also have a daughter! ”

"What did you say?" The ecstasy in Zheng Tai's eyes flashed, and then he said indifferently: "If my daughter is alive, she will be almost twenty years old, but I am afraid that she will already be married." What does it have to do with me if I marry my husband? ”

"Tsk!" Nanying shook his head and sighed: "What a heart of stone! If I were you, I would at least ask about her safety, right? ”

"What do you want to do?" Zheng Tai's eyes were instantly covered with red threads, but his mouth was still calm: "You want to threaten me with her?" If you can really find her, and you can still talk nonsense with me here? ”

"It's unfortunate!" Nanying's ill-intentioned gaze made Zheng Tai's heart tremble fiercely: "She is in the hands of this general!" ”

"Bluff!" Zheng Tai blurted out and laughed: "Do you have the ability to invite her out?" ”

"Do you mean Miss Ling Yuan Zheng Lian?" Nanying said lightly, but the name made Zheng Tai laugh abruptly: "Of course, you have to ask her to come out, otherwise who do you think I just said that there was someone else who was punished?" ”

"It can't be!" Zheng Tai's eyes finally appeared with fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You let her out! ”

When it came to the last sentence, it was almost silent.

"As you wish!"

With a "boom", the screen behind Nanying was overturned, revealing the huge wooden frame behind it.

On the shelf, a young woman covered in blood was bound, her head bowed, her long hair falling all the way down to cover her face.

"No!" Zheng Tai jumped up like an electric shock: "I'll fight with you!" ”

He pounced on Nanying with a fist, but a fist slammed into his face.

In the splattering of blood, Zheng Tai flew out in embarrassment, lying on the ground and gasping frantically.

"Do you regret it now?" Nan Ying withdrew his hand, strode forward, stepped on Zheng Tai's back, and said with a cruel smile: "If you want to fight with this general, you are still far away!" ”

He picked up Zheng Tai and said viciously: "Immediately tell me your identity in the Heavenly Stems Branch, as well as all the secrets about your organization, otherwise you will be able to witness with your own eyes how your daughter is better off than dead!" ”

"Someone!" Several fierce men immediately rushed into the hall, holding the formidable thick leather whips in their hands.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the woman tied to the wooden frame immediately let out a mournful wail.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Nan Ying grabbed Zheng Tai's neck, gradually tightened it hard, and said in a cold and ruthless tone: "Now is just the beginning, and more terrible tricks are yet to come!" ”

"You, did you kill me?" Zheng Tai struggled with breathlessness.

"What a diehard! Even my daughter can endure being tortured in front of her! Nanying laughed wildly: "Believe it or not, Ben will immediately strip your daughter of her clothes?" ”

"What? You, you're not human! Zheng Tai spurted out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "No! You can't do this! ”

"As long as you say it!" Nanying let go of his hand, and Ren Zhengtai fell to the ground softly: "Ben will let your daughter go immediately!" ”

He squatted down and stared at Zheng Tai, who was about to split: "I don't understand?" Could it be that in your heart, that bullshit organization is more important than your relatives? It can make you abandon your family and children! ”

"You! What do you know? The defense line in Zheng Tai's heart finally completely collapsed, and he shouted wildly: "How can I abandon my family and children? More than ten years ago, I was afraid that the organization would use them to threaten me, so I ruthlessly drove them out of the house! But I didn't expect that after more than ten years, I would meet a beast like you! ”

He struggled to crawl all the way to the woman on the wooden frame, his eyes welling up with tears: "Lian'er, it's Daddy's fault, it's Daddy who hurt you!" ”

He finally climbed to the feet of the woman, and said sadly on his back: "Lian'er, don't worry, Dad promised them everything, and he will never let you suffer ......."

"Pada", "Pada" twice, two crystal tears fell, hit Zheng Tai's face, and he was stunned.

The woman on the wooden frame suddenly raised her head, and with a wrench of her arms, the rope immediately broke inch by inch.

The woman's long hair flicked, revealing a beautiful face like jade, and there were tears on that face.

I only heard the woman whimper: "I'm sorry, Brother Nan, I really can't play anymore!" It was so touching! ”

Zheng Tai couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and opened his mouth wide and said, "What? What's going on? ”

Nan Ying was so angry that he scolded: "Qing'er, why don't you listen to the command? This is also too unprofessional! ”

"Qing'er?" Zheng Tai said blankly: "Who are you?" You're not Lian'er! ”

"I'm here!" The door of the hall opened, the warm sunlight poured in, and a slender figure slowly walked in: "I'm here!" Father! ”
