Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is also the day of Xiao Sixteen's questioning.

"My lord, the secret report." The official of Zhaocha Mansion handed over a bamboo tube.

Mu Yi took it, frowned after reading the content, but still took his sword and went to the inner prison of the military department according to the requirements on the secret report.

From a distance, Mu Yi saw a person beating a drum at the entrance of the military department, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Lin Shuangyi from the general's mansion, and he couldn't help but have a trace of hesitation in his heart.

Lin Shuangyi saw Mu Yi kneeling on the ground and was about to speak, Mu Yi saw the frayed skirt at her knees, did not give her an extra expression, and walked straight in.

"It turned out to be Ki-sama. Why don't you say a word, the old man has to be ready to greet it, right? ”

Li Dai, the secretary of the military department, saw Mu Yi coming, although he said so on his lips, his words were just scolding him for not knowing etiquette.

Li Dai looked Mu Yi up and down, this person was indeed born with a dignified appearance, and he was also reused by Gu Beiling, no wonder his beloved daughter Li Shuyun was talking about it every day.

"Master Li, come here to escort the criminals."

Wood is straightforward.

"Thank you, thank you, that Zhaocha Mansion is too considerate of the old man. But...... Lord Mu said, look, old man, who has such a big face in the military department to let Lord Mu come to detain in person? ”

Li Dai straightened out his purple official robe and motioned for the little official to prepare a seat for Mu Yi.

"Xiao Sixteen."

Mu Yi said clearly, not even glancing at the chair beside him.

"Xiao Sixteen?" Li Dai pretended to be surprised, and took a sip of tea with his hands.

"He is one of the culprits of the Muxishan Rebellion, and he is a recidivist in the court. Today is the day of Xiao Sixteen's questioning, and the people from the Criminal Department will come to escort him, so he won't bother the adults. Li Dai took a sip of tea.

"Your Excellency is questioning your humble position?" Mu Yi said coldly.

"It's all for the court, how can the old man question his colleagues? It's just a matter of our military department, and the Zhaocha Mansion is involved...... Don't the people of the world laugh at me, and my military department is incompetent? ”

"The matter of Zhaocha Mansion escorting Xiao Sixteen, I didn't come to discuss with Lord Shangshu today."

"What do you mean!" Li Dai put the tea cup on the side.

Previously, he had asked Gu Beixuan to take care of Mu Yi for the marriage of his beloved daughter Li Shuyun many times, but Mu Yi didn't appreciate it, and today he is still so presumptuous in the lobby of the military department!

He Li Dai is a dignified second-class court official, and what kind of person is he? has no official and no rank, and he doesn't take him seriously?

Mu Yi looked into his angry eyes, and his words were still cold and calm:

"The Xiao family will have many forces, and today is the moon chasing meeting, I am afraid that there will be many people and chaos, and the Zhaocha Mansion must ensure that there will be no incidents at the execution site today."

"The old man heard that Lord Mu had a delicate relationship with the two thieves of the Xiao family, and a few days ago, Lord Mu and these two people had trouble in the ghost market...... It's not appropriate to leave this matter to you, right? ”

Li Dai sneered, that day Xiao Qiao actually punched his nephew He Mingshan in front of the public in the ghost market, how could he let go of the Xiao family so easily.

"One less head, one loses one."

With that, Mu Yi hugged his fists and saluted, turned to leave.

Scold! A good "one less head, one loses a head".

Li Dai gritted his teeth and looked at Mu Yi's back, and said to the little official next to him, "Go and keep an eye on it." In addition, 200 more troops were added to the execution ground today. ”

"Yes."

Li Dai calmed his face and said to himself:

"Xiao Qiao and the wild son picked up by the Xiao family are just some reckless people, just rely on her to become a general of the Xiao family? Do you dare to offend the government and the opposition? The old man wants to see which one this is playing! Oh, if he wants to get involved...... Let's just bury them together. ”

-

In the inner prison, it was dark and dark, and no one dared to stop him all the way in.

Xiao 16 was held in a torture cell deep in the inner cell.

The torture room of the military department is really a little different from the Beiqi Prison, just the strange torture instruments on display look terrifying.

Kiichi finally stopped in front of a bloody man who was hanging on a shelf.

"Prepare the car." Mu Yi said to the little official.

"Spare car? My lord...... Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, how can you find any carriage? The little officer asked tentatively.

"Prison car."

Mu Yi's cold eyes swept over the little official, and the little official only felt that his gaze was like a sword that could kill.

With that, he walked to Sixteen's side and looked at Sixteen with a blank face.

I heard that Sixteen had consciously signed and drawn a prisoner a long time ago, why did he still suffer so many crimes? Isn't it cost-effective?

Mu Yi scooped up a ladle of water and poured it over the man's head.

It must have been because of the salt added to the water, and the pain of the bone-eroding heart hit the sixteen bodies all over the body, and those coagulated wounds spilled blood again.

Sixteen panted and raised his eyes tiredly, looking at the person in front of him in a daze, only to see that it was black.

As soon as Mu saw that he was not awake, another scoop of salt water was poured down, and the painful sixteen screamed hoarsely. I saw that the water that flowed to the ground was all red.

The little official didn't expect Mu Yi to be so ruthless, and he heard that Mu Yi rescued Xiao Qiao because they had a good relationship, and now he ...... Can this be a good relationship? Maybe how many crimes Xiao Qiao suffered in the secret prison of Zhaocha Mansion......

"Kiichi...... Is that you? ”

"Kiichi...... Xiao Er...... Is Xiao Erke okay? Sixteen struggled to squeeze this sentence out of his throat.

"You're going to be beheaded today, and you still have the heart to care about others?" Mu Yi said coldly.

"Okay?" Sixteen asked again.

"Just like you." Kiichi sneered.

He took out a word bottle, poured out a white pill, grabbed Sixteen's face and forced him to open his mouth, ready to put it in Sixteen's mouth, but the little official hurriedly stopped him when he saw this.

"My lord, what are you ......," the little official said vigilantly.

"Soft tendons, don't know? He has been fighting for years, and you can be restrained by whipping and chopping flesh like this? ”

Mu Yi spread out the pill in his hand and said sharply.

The little official didn't know what to say, and wanted to stop it.

"Suspicious? Why don't you eat it? ”

The little official felt the displeasure in Mu Yi's words, and he didn't dare to say anything more when he looked like this. Thinking that Mu Yi is really as rumored, he is a messenger of a place.

A handful of soft tendons were loosely stuffed into Sixteen's mouth.

Sixteen just stared straight at him, not resisting. For a long time, Sixteen felt that the meridians on his body were closed, and now, not only could he not use his strength, but he was even more powerless than ordinary people.

"Will you do the same to Xiao Er?"

Sixteen's pale face smiled bitterly, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Mu Yi, if you treat Xiao Er like this, Lao Tzu will not let you go."

Mu was expressionless, and waited for the little official to remove Xiao Sixteen from the shelf and throw him into the prison car.

When Mu Yi was about to leave the military department, Mu Yi suddenly looked sideways at Sixteen, who was covered in blood in the prison car.

"Mrs. Xiao has been kneeling at the entrance of the military department."

Sixteen was stunned, lowered his eyes, and said dryly: "Please take a detour." The most afraid woman is crying. ”

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most lively days in Beiqi.

It's the beginning of night, and there is no heat or chill today, which is just the meaning of spring. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, bringing a burst of floral fragrance, or the aromatic smell of a woman, which is so pleasant.

Sixteen was paralyzed in the prison car, looking at everything with his eyes down, not uncomfortable or afraid.

He knew he was going to die.

His death was nothing more than an outlet for the princely general.

From the moment he didn't catch the punch that Xiao Qiao threw that day, he knew that he would definitely have today.

But he is not afraid, only if he dies, Xiao Qiao can be less guilty, because he has signed and drawn all the guilt in prison.

And he must die too. If he hadn't died today, the high-ranking officials and magnates would have added a new charge to Xiao Qiao...... It doesn't matter if she does it or not.

He smiled.

Today's Luoning City is also really lively, which makes him dazzled.

I saw the crowd pouring into a complicated sea, and drifting on this "sea" was a flower boat singing and dancing.

Each house lit a moon lantern and inserted incense sticks. Most of those incense sticks are made of incense sticks, and there are paper stars and colorful flags on them, which are particularly beautiful.

Men, women and children are bustling in the workshop with jade rabbits, and there are some jugglers in the workshop, breathing fire, and dancing with all kinds of exaggerated masks......

He looked at it all with a smile on his face, at everyone who passed by.

Although passers-by replied with all their disdain and anger.

This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixteenth return to Beijing.

He has never been in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was not in the wolves in Saibei before, and he has not been desperately in the field since he was brought back by General Xiao.

Before coming back, he kept telling Xiao Qiao what a blessing it should be, just this year he annihilated the bandits, and he happened to be able to catch up with the lively moon-chasing meeting when he returned to Beijing.

He thought he had no regrets, and looked at his legs, which were already starting to rot. Fortunately, I didn't marry a wife or have children, otherwise, what a debt this would be.

It's just Xiao Er...... Luckily?

Walking to the junction of the fangzhong, a giant flower boat blocked the road of the prison car.

I saw that the flower boat was made into an exaggerated peony shape, the kite sounded, and the peony opened.

A woman is barefoot, her tender yellow skirt is blown by the wind, and the woman is wearing a flying bun, accompanied by a pipa and a zither fluttering, like a fairy who has stepped on the clouds under her feet and fallen into the mortal world.

Sixteen smiled, even though something was constantly being thrown into the prison car at this time, but in his eyes, someone was dancing for him.

But he didn't know that on the other side of the flower boat, there was a person looking at him in a daze.

Today, Gu Beiling sent someone to deliver a wheelchair.

Xiao Qiao pestered the moon slave for a long time, and finally changed into the moon slave's clothes, wrapped a similar white veil around her face, and asked the moon slave to push her to join in the fun.

She remembered that when she was still in Nanyi, Sixteen mentioned that she wanted to see the Moon Chasing Society.

However, Xiao Qiao didn't know what chasing the moon would be, and he only found out after asking the moon slave last night.

I heard that Daqi's moon-chasing meeting will be held every three years, and the envoys from all over the world will come to Luoning City, Kyoto, Daqi, to see the prosperity of Daqi.

The reason why it is called chasing the moon is because the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival is big and round, such as a silver plate bright and clean, Luoning City will set up a high platform, and the talented and beautiful people from all walks of life show their style, only the moon rabbit in the hands of everyone can take the first place at most, and climb the high platform to let everyone see their talents.

Therefore, this moon chasing will be very lively and festive, and there will be joy everywhere.

She vaguely felt that when she came to join in the excitement today, she would definitely be able to meet Sixteen, and her heart also reduced a little sadness about missing her mother and family.

At this time, she was still playing with a few red bracelets she had just bought.

But she never thought that she would meet Sixteen in such a way.

The bloody man in the prison car, is it really sixteen?

She shook her head, incredulous.

Didn't Gu Beiling say that Sixteen was doing his own thing?

Why did Sixteen go to jail? Why is he the way he is now?

Why...... The man who escorted Xiao Sixteen......

Is it Kiichi?

Xiao Qiao froze in place.

Is it all the same as the fog, she always lives in the fog?
