Ye Shuai lost two sons in a row overnight, and he couldn't stand it psychologically for a while, and he couldn't afford to fall ill in prison.

Cheng Jingheng sent the best imperial doctor to come in to see him, and with Ye Huaiyu's care day and night, his condition was finally temporarily relieved.

After so many days of arraignment and transcription, Mu Xiang and his party have almost taken care of it, and it is only up to Cheng Jingheng to choose a better day and behead them one by one to show the public.

The date of the beheading was finally set, five days later.

On the evening of the fourth day, an uninvited guest came to the cell.

It's Gu Boyan.

Gu Boyan and his father, Master Gu, looked at each other for a moment.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department first showed a smile, his expression was quite calm, and he said leisurely: "My good son, are you here to see how your father fell so far?" ”

Gu Boyan stared at him tightly and did not respond.

Master Gu said again: "What does it feel like to watch your father die?" ”

"Happy." He changed his usual gentle and generous appearance, and squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

Master Gu smiled again.

Gu Boyan didn't want him to laugh, but he also knew that if he expressed his thoughts like this, he would definitely get more revenge.

"You're going to die." He thought for a moment and said.

Master Gu was very calm: "People are born to die, I have lived for such a long time, do I care when I die?" ”

Gu Boyan said: "I ruined everything for you. ”

"So what? How can Lao Tzu really be angry with his son? Gu Dadao, said with a sigh, "One thought, you just gave me a way to liberation." ”

Gu Boyan clenched his fists.

"I hate you, and I will curse you every day after you die," Gu Boyan said fiercely, "Don't you want to be free after you die?" I'll let you never be reborn! ”

Master Gu smiled indifferently, "My good son, after so many years, everyone who should let go has been let go, but your obsession is still so deep." ”

"For so many years," Gu Boyan took his words, "the hatred has never diminished, but it is increasing day by day." ”

"Your Mother ......"

Master Gu just lightly mentioned it, and Gu Boyan's emotions suddenly went out of control, "Don't mention her!" You don't deserve it! ”

Master Gu smiled again, "People have been dead for so many years, and now you want to send me to see her, why don't you let me mention it?" We're all going to meet! ”

"I'm not going to let you meet!" Gu Boyan suddenly reached through the cell door and grabbed his father's collar, "After you die, I will let you be a violent corpse in the wilderness, I will let the wild wolf devour you into my belly, I will leave your bones behind, and you will die without a place to bury!" "You'll never see her again!" ”

He still remembered the bruises and pinching marks on his mother's body, and the marks of the whip that never seemed to fade.

Who would have thought that a criminal department Shangshu who likes music, reading, and poetry and songs would have tyrannical tendencies in his bones.

But it's not necessarily, I like so many literary and artistic things, but I just got the word "Criminal Department", and I am exposed to it every day, and it is not impossible to go to the extreme and have such a temper.

He had seen this beast beat his mother as an animal, but he was too young to stop him, and he tried to cover her, but he ran with difficulty, but he was only protected by his mother, and the beast beat her harder.

When he was thirteen years old, he came back from his husband on a winter afternoon, and when he opened the door, he saw his mother hanging herself on the beam directly opposite, with a hideous face.

That afternoon, when it snowed heavily, his mother's body was thrown on a barren hill to the west, and he secretly ran west at night, searching carefully along the way, and when he finally found it, his mother was as stiff as a log.

Cold wood.

Covered with snow-covered wood.

He dug a big pit with his hands, carefully put his mother in it, and buried it carefully.

My mother didn't get the slightest bit of happiness when she was alive, and she was buried in the earth after her death, hoping that she would never have any more pain.

Then he finally grew into a man who could compete with the beast, and finally had the ability to protect his mother, who was no longer by his side.

"Good son, you are wrong." Master Gu still spared no effort to stimulate him.

Gu Boyan's mind was buzzing, "I'm not wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong!" ”

Master Gu laughed again, hehehehe, like some kind of incantation, Gu Boyan hadn't cursed him to never be reborn, but he was about to die when he read it first.

A low sigh came, followed by a male voice not far away, "Bo Yan." ”

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

Gu Boyan's chaotic mind suddenly became clear, and he turned his head suddenly, Cheng Jingheng was protected by his father-in-law and walked over slowly.

"Your Majesty!" He knelt down.

"Excuse me," Cheng Jingheng said, he stopped, turned his feet, and faced the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "Lord Gu." ”

Master Gu's smile disappeared in front of Gu Boyan, he wanted to laugh very much, but found that he couldn't laugh at all, and when facing Cheng Jingheng, he seemed to be only gloomy.

Because he never expected that he would live at such an age, he would be toyed with by this yellow-mouthed child, everything was calculated by him in advance, everything happened according to what he wanted and planned, all of them were deceived by him, deceived for three whole years!

They thought that he had been just a bird trapped in a cage for the past three years, and no matter how he flew, he couldn't fly out of this world.

But he took advantage of these three years to accomplish so many impossible things under their noses!

He has figured out everyone's attributes and temperaments, he knows everyone's strengths, weaknesses and weaknesses, and he only needs to move his mouth a little to turn things around, turn the situation upside down, and turn defeat into victory.

No, he was never defeated, it was just another time he was put to death!

Cheng Jingheng......

"What's the matter, Lord Gu doesn't want to laugh when he sees me?" Cheng Jingheng chuckled lightly and spoke.

Master Gu looked at him with a calm face, and said coldly: "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

"Bold!" Gonggong Gao slashed his hand, "Dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, come here!" ”

The jailer hurriedly responded.

"Torture!"

Cheng Jingheng acquiesced, and then said with a smile: "Master Gu has been a scholar of the Criminal Department for so long, not to mention the lives of the people in his hands, there should always be a hundred and ten articles, let alone those who have personally used torture tools, but those torture tools have never been used on themselves, right?" ”

Master Gu's downbeat look for life and death in front of Gu Boyan instantly cracked, he naturally knew how powerful those torture instruments were, although they were not to death, they were even more uncomfortable than death.

"Don't worry, Lord Gu," Cheng Jingheng continued, "I will tell them to be careful, just loosen the tight skin and flesh of the adults, and scatter the bones that are squeezed into one place." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said "no" in his mouth, but the group of people seemed to be deaf and couldn't hear his roar of resistance at all, and the cleaned torture instruments were moved into the cell one after another, and they were taken out one after another in blood, and in the middle was the screams of ghosts crying wolves.

Gu Boyan's eyes stared at the void a little, his teeth clenched tightly, he suddenly remembered the scene many years ago, the beast kept whipping the weak woman, and the woman's begging for mercy was like a catalyst, making the beast even more frantic and rampant!

Then the scene turned, and he saw his mother, who was lying alone on the mountain in the snow, already stiff.

His vision suddenly blurred, and Gu Boyan came back to his senses, but he was covered by tears.

He walked abruptly into the cell, and with the hatred he had accumulated since childhood, he took the hot red soldering iron from the jailer's hand and pressed it straight to the beast's face.

"Ahh

Years later, the screams became his catalyst.

Cheng Jingheng watched quietly outside, very envious in his heart.

Envy him for having such a master as himself, if he does things for him, he can lay everything for him, and he can avenge him.

He was also envious of his father-in-law, the person who pretended to be the leader of the bandits in Anqu County was his godson, and the godson became a political victim, and he also avenged him.

But why doesn't the royal sister appreciate it?

He didn't even need the imperial sister to sacrifice anything for him.

And he had never even experienced such a good thing himself, because no one had ever treated him like this, and no one had ever made him so presumptuous.

He also has a lot of thoughts in his heart, such as revenge, and he also needs to find an outlet to vent.

But he didn't.

Why do some people not appreciate it?

As soon as the obsession comes out, it is not to hit the south wall and not look back.

Wishful thinking.

"Bo Yan," Cheng Jingheng felt almost, "if he gets it any longer, he'll really die." ”

Gu Boyan's steel needle had already pierced one into his fingernail, and when he was about to pierce the second one, he paused when he heard Cheng Jingheng's words.

He couldn't let him die so easily.

He still has a lot of grudges that he hasn't broken with him.

Snorted coldly, he didn't even bother to look at it, and walked out of the prison door.

The jailer took out the torture instruments and locked the cell door again, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department collapsed in the corner with his head scattered, like garbage discarded by the people of Shangjing.

He didn't have the energy to stimulate Gu Boyan anymore, and he couldn't put on a gloomy face to show Cheng Jingheng.

It was a great gift for him to be able to open his eyes at this time.

He was unrecognizable.

"Let's go!"

The cell fell silent, except for the occasional faint wail.

The civil strife in Jokhang had just subsided, and the government had not yet completely rested, but outside the southern border gates, all preparations had begun to gather troops and march in the direction of Jokhang.

On the 28th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the Jokhang border pass was finally broken, and the enemy army swept all the way and went north.

On the first day of the fourth lunar month, Cheng Jingheng once again angrily slammed the music and scolded the person who played it.

"The Ye family is guilty of meritorious service, why not? What is there to impeach? What is impeached? Are you going to war for me? ”

All the ministers bowed their heads, and the birds were silent.

"What do I ask you to say?"

"Minister...... Ministers......"

"Okay, I've made up my mind, and this matter can't be discussed!"
