Chapter 22 Suspicions

The Wenxiang Pavilion was as quiet as usual today, except for the occasional sound of flowers, birds and insects outside the courtyard, there was no murmur. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Heng leaned on the vermilion pillar next to the corridor, holding a thick blank book in his hand, holding a hard pen in his right hand, sometimes bowing his head and writing hard, sometimes looking up at the sky, thinking about something thoughtfully.

Several passers-by were also accustomed to seeing the appearance of this young gentleman, and they consciously lowered their steps and passed by gently, even holding their breath.

In the past few days, Su Heng has been getting up early every day to do the same thing, and he will not go back to the house to rest until dusk.

From the competition with Fu Tian, to the competition in Baifeng Tower, and the competition with Zhao Mu, these various experiences made Su Heng have some insights, he wanted to write down these feelings, and then summarize his shortcomings and disadvantages, reminding himself all the time.

The morning bell and dusk drum sounded on time in the ancient capital palace, Su Heng moved his position, changed his posture, sat straight on the railing of the corridor, looking at the red sun rising in the sky, and his heart was quiet.

The projection of the morning light stretched the shadow, and Su Heng saw a shadow coming from far and near in the corner of his eye, the sound of walking was very soft, but the pace was hurried, obviously there was something urgent.

"Mr. Su, the big thing is not good, His Royal Highness had a conflict with a student in the Guozijian, and beat the other party in a fit of rage, but the other party did not fight back, and then someone reported the news to His Majesty, and His Majesty was furious when he learned about it, and ordered His Highness to be imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum."

The Imperial Tomb Prison is the most heavily guarded and guarded three-story prison built for the royal family in Dachu.

Because of its peculiarity, it gradually evolved into a prison for important prisoners, counting from the surface of the ground, from the top down, the higher the status of the prisoners.

If, as Chen De said, Zhao Jinyu was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum Prison just by beating someone, it seems to be a bit of a fuss.

But it was Zao Wou-Ki who personally ordered it, which means that this matter is true, but why did Zao Wou-Ki do this?

Su Heng lowered his head, and others couldn't see his expression, Chen Deli was on the side, and he didn't make a sound to disturb him, and he had always been calm and calm, and he was only confused at the moment when he learned that Zhao Jinyu was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum.

After all, the Imperial Tomb Prison is also famous in Dachu, and there was a saying that 'nine secluded yellow springs and nine feet of land, if you don't see it, you can enter this door'.

"Wait, when the hour comes, His Highness will naturally come back."

After thinking for a while, Su Heng gave Chen De a reply, but the latter raised the corners of his eyebrows, and said in a questioning tone: "Mr. is joking, right?" ”

Su Heng didn't care about Chen De's tone, and said with relief: "Gonggong Chen doesn't have to worry, although the royal family is ruthless, but after all, the tiger poison does not eat children, His Royal Highness the Ninth just fought with someone, Your Majesty will punish at most a small punishment, it is estimated that His Royal Highness will come back soon." ”

Seeing Su Heng's confident look, Chen De had no choice but to nod in approval, and then fortunately, like Su Heng, he sat on the railing and said nothing.

……

As Su Heng said, when it was almost noon, Zhao Jinyu came back intact, and there was a person behind him, a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression, wearing black linen cloth shoes, tied his hair, and followed closely behind without saying a word.

The middle-aged man has no strange appearance, moderate figure, and no eye-catching features on his body, if it weren't for the fact that he was carrying an exaggerated sword box on his back, it is estimated that such a person would soon be annihilated if he was thrown into the pile.

Looking at the brown mahogany sword box on the back of the middle-aged man, which had most of his height, and then at Zhao Jinyu, who was unscathed and seemed to be in a good mood, Su Heng couldn't help but start to guess what was going on.

These nine palaces went to lie in the emperor's mausoleum, not only did they not suffer any flesh and skin, but they also brought back a person with a relaxed expression, which is indeed worth intriguing.

Fortunately, Zhao Jinyu didn't go around in any circle, pointed to the sturdy man behind him, and introduced: "His name is Sword Slave, and his biggest hobby in life is to collect the world's famous swords......

Zhao Jinyu paused for a moment, thought about it and continued with a somewhat strange expression: "There are still ...... I just like to torture and kill those who use swords......"

Killing?

Su Heng subconsciously glanced at the expressionless middle-aged man again, for some reason, at this moment, looking at it again, the latter's expressionless face seemed to hide layers of murderous intent, and there was a violent aura flowing in his body, like a peerless fierce sword ready to be unsheathed at any time; This seems to be a man who was born specifically for swords, a man who was born destined to fight the world with one sword and one sword.

"Today I was a little impulsive, I was deliberately provoked by the people below Zhao Yue, and I hurt people, but fortunately, this trip to the Imperial Tomb Prison was not in vain, I didn't expect the warden of the Imperial Tomb Prison to be my mother's old friend......"

Zhao Jinyu only talked about the reason why he was imprisoned at this time, but he seemed to be a little annoyed by his expression, but what he was angry about was not that he hurt people, but that he should not beat people in Guozijian, the highest institution of learning that symbolizes the mainstream talents of Chu State......

The supreme steward of the Imperial Tomb Prison is the warden Yan Tiannan, it is said that this person has not stepped out of the Imperial Tomb for ten years, in the Imperial Tomb Prison, he is in charge of life and death, punishment, not under the control of the six departments, only obey the current son, belongs to the existence of transcendent status, and the most important thing is that this warden is actually an old friend of Chen Wenxiang, which is a bit intriguing.

Zhao Jinyu was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum Prison just by beating someone, it was too much of a fuss, and the warden and Concubine Xiang of the Imperial Mausoleum Prison were still old friends, seeing that this warden sent a master like the sword slave to Zhao Jinyu to send him, he knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, combined with all of the above, Su Heng felt that there seemed to be a hand behind this that was pushing everything, and the owner of this hand was likely to be the current son of heaven Zhao Wouji!

It is impossible for Zao Wou-Ki not to know the relationship between Yan Tiannan and Chen Wenxiang, but he still took the opportunity to send Zhao Jinyu in and let the two meet, so what is the reason for him to do this?

Zhao Jinyu said before that he has not been favored in the palace, and after the death of his mother, except for the sacrifices that the royal family must be present, he has not seen his father a few times, all of the above shows that he is indeed not loved by Zao Wou-ki, but this time Zao Wou-Ki is obviously helping this young son who he doesn't like to gather strength, otherwise he would not let him meet Yan Tiannan, let alone bring back a master like a sword slave.

The cause of Chen Wenxiang's death, the reason why Yan Tiannan has not stepped out of the Imperial Mausoleum for ten years, and Zhao Wouji's strange behavior, there are many suspicions, and Su Heng, who can't figure out the clue, has a delicate face wrinkled tightly, and his mind is constantly sorting out a series of thoughts, he is wondering if he wants to take advantage of Zhao Wouji's current attitude to help Zhao Jinyu quickly gain a foothold, at least have the qualifications to compete with other princes.
