Zhang Wenzhi, who was tired and asleep, was woken up by the sharp voice again, and when he opened his eyes, the few guards and maids who he had repeatedly emphasized that he must guard his bedside actually disappeared.

Zhang Wenzhi shouted a few times, still the same as yesterday, and looked into the room carefully, except for himself, there was no one else, and the door was still bolted, and there was no sign of anyone going out.

But the man who was guarding him was gone.

I went through the same experience yesterday again, and I fainted again in fear and pain.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Wenzhi only felt that he was abnormally tired, and his body was extremely painful last night, except for exhaustion, there was nothing other than exhaustion.

"Is the young master awake?

The sudden sound in front of the bed startled Zhang Wenyi, turned his head to look outside, and saw that the people who were called to his bed by him yesterday were standing in front of his bed in a regular manner, with a tiredness on his face that could not be concealed, obviously just staying overnight.

Zhang Wenzhi's eyes widened and he sat up, looked at the few people in front of the bed and asked, "Didn't you let you keep guarding in front of the bed? While Young Master Ben was asleep, where did you all go?"

Several people looked at Zhang Wenzhi with puzzled expressions, and someone took the first step to answer, "Young master, a few of us have been guarding you by the bed last night." ”

Zhang Wenzhi's eyes looked at a few people without blinking, and he obviously saw that the confusion on the faces of these people was not pretending, so he opened his mouth again and confirmed, "Are you sure you didn't leave last night?"

Everyone nodded in unison, and the fear in Zhang Wenzhi's eyes gradually began to condense, and his voice trembled slightly and asked, "Then did you hear any strange sounds or see anything strange yesterday?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison again, and one of them answered, "Yesterday, the slaves and maids didn't beat a single one, and there were only a few of us in the house, and we have been guarding the young master when you wake up." ”

Zhang Wenzhi buried his head in his knees, his body trembled a little, and after a while, he raised his head again and looked at several people with red eyes, "If you dare to lie to me, you will all be cut by a thousand cuts." ”

Several people knelt down in front of him and said in unison, "The little one (slave) doesn't dare." ”

Ji Ruhuan heard that Xiao Jin had come to report the situation of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and opened his mouth in response, "I really didn't expect that he could still carry it." ”

Dugu Chi Yan pursed his lips and responded, "Don't worry, you can't carry it for a few days." ”

Ji Ruhuan said, "I hope, it's better to hurry, but he can't hold on before those people make a move." ”

After another three days like this, Zhang Wenzhi was finally driven crazy, shouting that there were ghosts in the house, so he ran to the street alone, but was knocked unconscious by the people in the house and carried back.

The next day, news came that the Young Heavenly Master Zhang Wenzhi went to the altar again.

When Ji Ruhuan heard the news, he couldn't wait to get ready to leave the palace, but he was just blocked at the door by Dugu Chiyan, who came back from the next dynasty.

Dugu Chiyan didn't intend to stop Ji Ruhuan, but only said, "Wait for me, I'll go back and change my clothes." ”

So Ji Ruhuan waited for the Nine Emperor Uncles, and the two of them left the palace together, and soon went to the altar square.

At this time, the flame of the altar was lit by Zhang Wenzhi again, and the altar was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and many ministers of the court and the central government were already standing on the edge of the altar.

The onlookers could only stand behind the officers and soldiers and watch the situation on the altar.

Seeing the appearance of the young heavenly master on the altar now, everyone couldn't help but sigh, it has only been a few days of hard work, how can people become like this, it is like a beggar on the side of the road.

Dugu Chiyan took Ji Ruhuan over to the altar, and after everyone saluted him, he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

One of the Western Xia courtiers stood up and said, "Qiqi Regent, as soon as the court was dispersed early this morning, Xia Guan received a post from the Heavenly Master's Mansion on his way home, saying that the Heavenly Master's Mansion would light the altar flame again, so that Xia Guan and the others must go. ”

Dugu Chiyan glanced at the other courtiers, and heard the other courtiers respond, "The same is true for the ministers." ”

At this time, on the altar, the altar had already lit incense, and the tribute had been placed, and the embarrassed young heavenly master knelt in front of the altar at this time and kept kowtowing, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and his forehead was already red, but he had no intention of stopping.

Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and responded, "Let's go, go up and have a look." ”

After speaking, he pulled Ji Ruhuan to the altar first, and the Western Xia courtiers behind him also followed to the altar.

Seeing that Zhang Wenzhi, the young heavenly master kneeling in front of the worship platform, didn't pay attention to them at all, someone ordered the officers and soldiers on the side, "Why don't you bring people over and let the regent interrogate?"

The officers and soldiers on the side stepped forward, forcibly pulled Zhang Wenzhi up, and escorted him over to kneel in front of Dugu Chiyan.

Without waiting for Dugu Chi Yan to speak, naturally some courtiers opened their mouths to ask for Dugu Chi Yan, "What is the Young Heavenly Master doing here, why is the altar flame lit here?"

Zhang Wenzhi finally recovered a little from his own world, raised his cloudy eyes and glanced at everyone in the court, and then muttered, "I was wrong, I was wrong, it was all my nonsense, and I apologized to the ancestral gods." ”

After speaking, he broke free from the coercion of the officers and soldiers regardless of it, rushed to the worship platform again, kept kowtowing, and said nonsense while kowtowing, "I was wrong, please forgive the ancestors and gods, please let me go, I was wrong." ”

At this time, the sharp voice sounded in Zhang Wenzhi's ears again, "What have you done wrong, say it out loud." ”

Zhang Wenzhi heard the voice, his eyes were suddenly full of fear, and he kowtowed vigorously and said loudly, "I don't know any emperor predictions at all, they are all lies, in order to save my sister, in order to avenge my sister, I lied to everyone." ”

As soon as these words came out, they shocked all the courtiers, some were happy and some were worried, and those dignitaries who finally had a chance to turn over, seeing that they were only one step away, their faces instantly turned pale.

Someone even stood up and shouted, "Young Heavenly Master, what's the matter with you? What nonsense are you talking about?"

At this time, the sharp voice sounded in Zhang Wenzhi's ears, "Are you talking nonsense?"

Zhang Wenzhi shook his head with fear on his face and responded, "No, I'm not talking nonsense, what I said is true." ”

The sharp voice that only Zhang Wenzhi could hear sounded again, "You have to tell everyone, tell the people of Western Xia, kowtow to the people of Western Xia to confess your sins, and tell what you have done, what your Zhang family has done, in order to get forgiveness from the unjust soul." ”

Zhang Wenzhi nodded hurriedly, "I said, I said." ”

After saying that, he turned around, knelt on the edge of the altar, and kowtowed heavily to the people below the altar, his forehead had been broken by his own kowtow, but he seemed to be unconscious.
