Chapter 18: The Scourge of Prison (1)

She was imprisoned in the prison cell of the Criminal Department of the Kingdom of Heaven like this, and she had no choice!

"Master!" As soon as she stepped into the cell, Ling'er rushed over and asked nervously, "Where have you been, what happened last night?" How could there be so many corpses in the tea plantation? Are you injured? Show me! ”

Man Yao patted her hand lightly, and only smiled and said, "I'm fine." Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

The other people in the tea garden who were locked up in the surrounding cells were anxiously calling "Childe", and smiled lightly and comforted: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Her expression was calm and calm, and her clear eyes had a calming power, and everyone was quiet. Manyao's gaze fell on Shen Yu, the only one in the opposite cell who couldn't see the anxious look, paused for a few seconds, and when he saw Shen Yu looking over, he smiled casually, Shen Yu was slightly stunned, and then smiled back at her. Man Yao glanced around, but didn't see Xiao Xu, so he asked Ling'er in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao didn't come in, did you?" ”

Ling'er nodded and said in the same low voice: "The master didn't go back to the house overnight, we thought the master was resting in the garden, so I went to the garden in advance and sent breakfast to the master, but as soon as I went in, I was arrested inexplicably." Xiao Sha must have seen those guards, so he dodged. Alas! Why didn't this Xiao Sha stay near the garden and prevent the master from passing? ”

frowned, the people at the scene last night had no living mouth except for her and Zongzheng Wuwu and Leng Yan, why were there already people from the government waiting to enter the garden to check the corpse early in the morning? Who broke the news of the king's assassination? Could it be that someone else was there last night but them? She shook her head and said, "Don't blame Leng Yan!" I went by carriage, and even if he was near the garden, it was too late to stop me when he saw me. Wish...... He could see the signals I had left behind. ”

Ling'er asked, "What signal?" ”

"I asked him to find someone. As long as this person is willing to come, then we will suffer at most from the skin. ”

Ling'er said: "What if this person refuses to come? ”

Manyao's beautiful eyes flashed brightly, hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "He will come!" ”

Seeing the master's very sure appearance, Ling'er put her mind at ease and asked again: "Master, what should we do now?" ”

Man Yao sighed lightly: "As long as they follow the normal trial procedure, I am not worried, I am only afraid...... Torture to extract confessions, torture into confessions, some people can't wait, want us to become scapegoats for this assassination case. ”

Ling Er exclaimed: "They dare! Even if I fight to the death, I won't let others hurt my master! Not to mention as a master...... Hmmm......"

Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "You remember, no matter what happens, my identity must not be said." ”

Ling Er asked strangely, "Why can't you say it?" ”

Manyao Dai frowned lightly, her eyes were deep, and she said: "If at this time, my identity is leaked and someone with a heart takes advantage of it, it is very likely to lead to a dispute between the two countries." Ling'er blinked, indicating that she didn't understand. Manyao said: "The king is good at scheming and unparalleled in wisdom, this time he defeated the Beiyi country with a plan, and the kings of other countries will definitely lead it to a big trouble, lest they will invade his land in the future, or affect the determination of careerists to annex the world." If someone spreads rumors that the purpose of our marriage is to secretly get rid of the king, then, with the emperor's suspicion and the emperor's favor for the king, even if we can survive this catastrophe this time, I am afraid that the future will not be easy. ”

"It's so complicated!" Ling Er was amazed, looked at her master with great admiration, and said, "It's still the master who is thoughtful!" But who would want to ruin the marriage between the two countries? ”

"It depends on who is the biggest threat if the marriage is successful." Although the king refused to marry, she once declared in the hall that she would let the king marry her willingly in half a year. Moreover, even if he refuses to marry the king in the end, there is also a Nine Emperor Princes who are closest to the king in the list. In the eyes of others, the Nine Emperor Princes, who have no wife and no concubines, are more likely than anyone else.

Ling'er wanted to ask something, but when she saw that Manyao's face was tired, she helped her to sit on the list that she couldn't see her true colors for.

The cell was dark and damp, and there was a musty smell in the air. It didn't take long for him to feel his head start to be dizzy again, his forehead was getting hotter, and the wind chill that had just gotten better showed signs of getting worse. Dinner in prison consisted of only cold steamed buns, dry and hard, like stones, at least leftover from two days ago. She couldn't help frowning, she knew that she should finish eating at the Eastern Suburbs Inn before leaving, at least she could strengthen her resistance when she was full, otherwise, with her current situation, I am afraid that she would not be able to wait for people to torture, and she would not be able to support it.

Seeing that she didn't eat steamed buns, Ling'er was ruddy and abnormally ruddy, probed her forehead and exclaimed, "Ah! It's so hot! Come on, come on, our master is sick, help us get a doctor. ”

The jailer strode over with a curse, kicked the cell door vigorously, and shouted, "What is it called! Call again, Lao Tzu is on the whip and waiting! Who do you think you are? It's better to be sick and dead, and when you're dead, you don't have to watch here so late. After scolding, he turned his head and left.

Ling'er stared, so angry that she couldn't speak. Man Yao waved his hand weakly and said: "Forget it, it's useless to say anything." Once in here, they didn't make up their minds to let us out alive. ”

Ling Er angrily shouted at the back of the jailer: "Dog fights people! Don't let me run into you in the future! …… Master, your body is so hot, what can I do? ”

When Master Shang Shuyu of the Criminal Department arrived, he sat on the ground with his back against the wall, and was woken up by a basin of cold water. Ling'er's eyes were fast, and she hurriedly pounced on her, blocking half of the cold water. The cold touch made her body tremble, and wisps of wet covered her hot cheeks, and before she could react, she was already pushed out. Ling'er hurriedly grabbed her, not daring to let go. Master Yu sneered disdainfully, and said in a cold voice, "Take it away together." ”

Torture chamber. Dozens of torture instruments are readily available, each of which is enough to make life worse than death. The fire in the furnace was burning brightly, splashing with sparks. She was thrown to the ground by the guards, and she had no strength at all.

Master Yu's fat hand wearing a huge ring, holding a piece of paper full of confessions, Yin Yin said: "This is your crime of buying a murderous act to assassinate the king, as long as you know each other a little and obediently sign and draw a pledge, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

Man Yao frowned and sneered: "I thought that Master Yu would at least go through a process, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to confess without even a trial!" ”

Lord Yu sneered: "This matter does not need to be tried, it is already very clear. ”

Manyao looked puzzled and said, "Clear? May I ask my lord, I have no grievances with the king, and the king is a guest in my tea garden, which is equivalent to my food and clothing, so why should I kill him and cut off my wealth? At this moment, I can only delay time, hoping that Xiao Xia can arrive as soon as possible.

Lord Yu said: "Because you are a spy of Beiyi Kingdom." ”

couldn't investigate her identity, so he put such a charge on her, these people are really ruthless! Silently, he said slowly: "My lord said that I am a spy of Beiyi Kingdom, what is the evidence?" ”

"Your origin is unknown...... "Lord Yu spoke, and someone outside the torture room said in a deep voice: "Lord Yu, don't tell him this nonsense!" Can't you see she's stalling? ”

The person outside the wall had already walked in as he spoke, and when he saw this person, he was shocked in his heart, and his eyes changed instantly.
