Chapter 118: Death Without Proof
There was silence in the gloomy dungeon, and this damp feeling made Hua Wenxuan murmur in his heart, could it be that I have such a fate with this dungeon? How many times has this been locked up in a dungeon?
Sima Yi was imprisoned next door to Hua Wenxuan, at this time they were really impressed by the situation in front of them, they never expected that they would end up getting themselves in, when they first arrived in the dungeon, Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi were still thinking about why Da Qiao would retract his confession on the spot, framing the two of them to know Sun Ce's actions in advance, but after staying here for a night, the two were completely uninterested, they only knew that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this.
A perfect excuse for the Sun family to go to war against the Cao family openly, but I didn't expect to get rid of the Cao family's most tricky character by the way, Thor: Hua Wenxuan.
Sima Yi listened to the ticking sound of water droplets hitting the bluestone in this prison, and sighed softly, "What is Gongzi Wenxuan thinking about now?" ”
"Huh!?" Hua Wenxuan stared blankly at the cell door and replied weakly, "What can you think?" I must be thinking about how to escape! ”
"Hahaha!" Sima Yi sneered, "Escape? This is Jiangdong, you and I are out of this dungeon, and there are hundreds of guards outside! Even if you and I take out of the city, do you still have to swim across the Yangtze River? ”
Hua Wenxuan laughed miserably, picked up a stone, stretched out his hand through the crack in the cell door, and threw it next door, "Does Zhongda want to stay in this prison for the rest of his life?" ”
Sima Yi looked at the small pebble that was thrown to the door of the prison, reached for it with his foot, and reached out to take it, "You and I definitely won't stay here for long!" ”
"Oh? How so? ”
Sima Yi smiled, "Gongzi Wenxuan is so smart, how can he not understand what Zhongda means!?" You and I are accused of assassinating Sun Ce, the head of the Sun family in Jiangdong, if they insist that it was you and me who did it, it is normal to be taken to the city and abandoned the city! If they deliberately frame you and me, then it won't take long for someone behind the scenes to negotiate terms with you and me, otherwise they have spent so much trouble arranging so many things, so what? ”
After speaking, Sima Yi threw the stone back to Hua Wenxuan's prison door, Hua Wenxuan reached out to get it, and muttered: "Zhongda is the same as I think, but Wenxuan thinks that the most likely thing for them is to cover up the real murderer and find you and me as scapegoats!" ”
"Neither nor not!" Sima Yi interrupted Hua Wenxuan's words, "If you just find a scapegoat, how easy it is, you don't have to wait for you and me to come, Sun Ce would have died a long time ago!" Choosing you and me to be this wicked person, Zhong Da thought there were two! ”
Sima Yi leaned against the door of the prison and looked at the dark dungeon, "First, you and I are the personal envoys of the Cao family, and whatever you and I do represents the actions of the Cao family, especially Zihuan's son!" Whether it is against Zihuan Gongzi or the Cao family, this is a wonderful move! Second, Zhong Da thought that this framing was probably mainly for you, and Zhong Da just happened to accompany him! ”
Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, "Targeting me?" Why? ”
Sima Yi sneered, "Zhongda is only the second son of the Sima family at the moment, and he has no name, what do you want me to do?" Wenxuan Gongzi is different, you are now famous, you have the ability of unpredictable prophets, and you have the magic of one enemy and ten thousand, such a situation of killing two birds with one stone, Wenxuan Gongzi still doesn't understand? ”
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
From the darkness of the dungeon doorway, there was a round of high-five, and an emaciated figure appeared in the darkness.
"People say that Sima Bada's second son is the wisest! It doesn't seem to be hearsay! The voice was full of pathos and helplessness, but Sima Yi's face was different, as if he was familiar.
Hua Wenxuan stared at the figure carefully, trying to identify, "Who is coming?" Do you dare to come out and speak? ”
The man still let out a sneer, but he said no more.
Sima Yi coughed lightly, "This person is hiding in the shadows, he must not want you and me to see the real body, if Zhong Da guessed correctly, it should be you and my old people, otherwise why don't you dare to show up?" ”
Old people? Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, the man stopped laughing, hesitated for a moment, walked to the prison door, and after flashing out of the shadows, he revealed that handsome face, but Hua Wenxuan didn't know it, Sima Yi carefully identified it, and asked in surprise: "You are Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu?!" ”
Hua Wenxuan was also surprised, this Yang Xiu appeared here, so such a frame must be related to him, but this Yang family was ruined by Xiahoudun's stupidity, this Yang Xiu must be eager to eat the flesh and blood of the Cao family at this time, it seems that this time is really bearable!
Yang Xiu looked like a fairy wind and bones, and looked at the two people in the prison proudly, "Zhong Da is not only cautious, but his ability to recognize people is not bad, you and I are only a glance or two, and you still know it!" ”
Sima Yi sneered, "If it weren't for you and me suffering at the same time, I'm afraid that Zhong Da wouldn't have thought about it a lot, and if you fled alone that day, Zhong Da would have thought of revenge with your pride in your innocence, but I didn't expect that you would appear in Jiangdong when you went south to Jingzhou!" ”
"Although Liu Jingsheng admires Dezu's talent, he treats him very well! It's a pity that he is a fool who sits and talks about it! Yang Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Sima Yi, "What I need is a male lord who can move for me, conquer the Cao family, and seek justice for my father!" ”
"Bo Fu is indeed the male lord, but unfortunately he has died, you have to count on Sun Zhongmou, I'm afraid you have to wait for him to sit in a secure seat!" Hua Wenxuan interjected, "It's just that you are so painstakingly strategizing and provoking a war, you expect that the Sun family will be at your mercy?" ”
Yang Xiu's gaze moved to Hua Wenxuan, looking him up and down, "Sun Ce is tired of not listening to persuasion, stubborn, he once said that he would not commit crimes, but now he really doesn't dare to go north!" Then, Dezu can only push General Zhongmou! ”
"So you set the fire?" Hua Wenxuan forced his eyes on Yang Xiu, "General Sun Ce was killed by you!" ”
Yang Xiu's expression didn't seem so proud, "The fire is not devolved!" There are so many people who want him to die, Yang Xiu is only responsible for fueling the troubles, why do it himself! ”
Hua Wenxuan's heart was shocked, did Yang Xiu admit it? Or was it really not his doing?
Sima Yi smiled in the cage, "It's a big matter, how can you say what you say?" There are many heroes in Jiangdong, can no one see that there is something strange about this? Just so simply put the charge of killing Sun Ce on the two of us? ”
Yang Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, and he replied coldly: "How can I not know the cunning of your two tongues, so I can't help you tell the difference!" ”
Hua Wenxuan's heart was cold, "Yang Xiu! What do you want to do? ”
"Of course, it's a crime of sitting on you!" Yang Xiu looked at Hua Wenxuan coldly, and two attendants flashed out behind him, but they were holding fire folds in their hands.
Sima Yi shouted in prison: "Yang Dezu! You dare to set fire?! ”
Yang Xiu laughed sinisterly, "Only the dead don't know anything!" For the sake of the war between Sun Cao's two families, I can't care about thanking the people who burned Sun Ce, as long as the guilt of Er's and others is confirmed, I don't believe that Jiangdong will give up! ”
Yang Xiu waved his sleeves and left the dungeon, and the two attendants took out the fire oil from the shadows and poured it all over the dungeon, the pungent smell of fire oil made Hua Wenxuan have goosebumps all over his body, the door of this cell was locked, but the fire couldn't burn, and the two of them choked to death!
The two attendants took out the fire fold, still on the fire oil, stabbing sound, the whole dungeon seemed to be ignited, the fire oil flowed along the terrain to the cages, the fire licked the bedding and straw, and the smoke was everywhere, which was already choking Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi couldn't open their eyes.
The fire soon burned to the door of the two people's cell, the smoke was already filling the entire dungeon, and the exclamation voice on Sima Yi's side had completely turned into a suffocating cough, Hua Wenxuan felt that his entire airway was like a fire, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and his eyes became blurred.
Vaguely, as if at the entrance of the dungeon, a figure rushed through the sea of fire and ran towards the two of them, Hua Wenxuan stretched out his hand weakly towards the person, and passed out.
