Chapter 165: The Man Who Borrowed the Corpse to Resurrect the Soul
"It's funny! You say this as if if I don't rebel, and my family will be safe!
Since both horizontal and vertical are death, what is the difference between being locked up in prison and waiting for death, and plotting against copying and beheading to death! Su Lie's eyes were full of anger.
"And what if I can guarantee your family's lives?" Di Renjie's eyes flashed with a determined look.
"I don't believe it!" Su Lie shook his head with a dark face.
"Even if you are favored by the empress again, you are just a commander of the brocade guard.
How can I trust you to save my family's life! And the empress has wronged me, and I will definitely not be used by her again! I've already said what I'm going to say, so hurry up and do it! ”
Su Lie looked at death as if he were at home. He said this on his lips, but his heart went up and down.
From the moment he promised Li Xin to rebel together, there was no turning back. He did not rebel, and he was wronged all his life.
If he rebelled, he could only end up as a rebellious minister and thief, but at least the rebellion gave him hope and the hope of saving his family.
"General Su should know that all cases will be interrogated by Dali Temple before they are finally decided.
Dali Temple was originally under my jurisdiction, I will not decide the case, sentence, your family is naturally safe.
In the years that General Su has been on the run, you should know very well that I could have sentenced you to beheading your family in the name of absconding in fear of crime, so as to force you to show up. But Di didn't do that. ”
Di Renjie paused when he said this, and glanced at Su Lie with a serious expression.
Su Lie lowered his head and was silent, although he didn't speak, he understood it in his heart.
He had also heard rumors in Chang'an. After he escaped from the Great Wall that year, the empress was furious and issued a sea fishing paper. He was worried about the safety of his family and quietly sneaked back to Chang'an.
It was also at this time that he learned that because Di Renjie insisted on arguing with the empress, his family was fortunately not punished and was detained in prison. Su Lie was a little grateful in his heart.
So this evening, it was clear that after receiving Li Xin's order to kill Di Renjie, he rushed to Fenglenglin, but he did not kill Di Renjie.
"It was your justice that saved my family." Su Lie whispered, but then he said, "But the empress won't let me go." ”
"Why? If you really opened the city for the border and didn't collude with the demon seed, why wouldn't the empress let you go? On the contrary, you are now following Li Xin to rebel, which is really an unforgivable sin! ”
Di Renjie thinks that as long as he talks to the empress and clarifies the facts, Su Lie's suspicion of colluding with the demon seed can be cleared, and it is still too late for Su Lie to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
"The empress knows that I didn't collude with the demon seed, she just fabricated a crime against me, in order to..."Su Lie said this, gritting his teeth, as if he was doing a fierce ideological struggle.
"For what?" Di Renjie was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
He remembered that when he went to visit General Su, General Su also said that everything was a conspiracy of the empress!
It's framed! But when he asked further, General Su refused to say a word.
It seemed that telling that secret would not only cost him his life, but even the lives of everyone in his family.
Since then, he has made several visits.
General Su just stared at the wall in a daze with tears, not saying a word, like a stone carving. This made Di Renjie have a headache and felt that there was nowhere to start in this case.
"In order to kill my Su clan!"
Su Lie's cloudy eyes were red, burning with hatred. His fists clenched, his knuckles clenched.
"Why!" Di Renjie's mouth opened in shock.
This Su family is a family of generals and ministers, and they have made outstanding achievements. One is loyal and good, and he has always been loyal, why the empress wants to kill them all, he really can't figure it out.
"You still don't know." Su Lie tried to restrain his emotions. The more people who know such a secret, the more dangerous it is.
It was in order to eliminate this potential danger that the empress would have the idea of killing his entire family.
"General Su, what you said is wrong. Since your Su family was killed because of this secret.
If you tell me this secret, I may be able to find the key and find a way to solve it. Let the empress no longer be aggressive towards the Su family. ”
Di Renjie explained his thoughts in a deep voice.
"But in this case, you will be in danger. Maybe the Empress will kill you too. ”
Su Lie's eyes softened a lot when he saw Di Renjie, and he now felt that Di Renjie was really an upright and fearless person.
Thinking of before, he also said in front of Di Renjie that Di Renjie was a weak person in front of Li Xin. He suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid that there is no justice in this world." Di Renjie smiled faintly.
"Justice?" When Su Lie heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly grinned.
"The hardest thing in this world is justice, and Master Di is really ambitious." Su Lie began to admire Di Renjie in his heart.
No one has ever put his life at risk and sought justice, not even himself. Maybe he can try to believe Di Renjie, maybe Di Renjie can really help him.
"This matter is related to the East Wind Altar seven years ago." The look in Su Lie's eyes became extremely solemn.
"Dongfeng Altar?" Di Renjie frowned, why is it the Dongfeng Altar again?
The place where the empress secretly went before was the Dongfeng Altar, and there was a secret that Ming Shiyin didn't say anything about it. What happened to the Dongfeng Altar back then?
"To be exact, I wasn't there back then, it was my father who went." Su Lie paused as if he were organizing language.
When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't tell the weirdness in his heart. The person who went was General Su?
He remembered that in prison, General Su always looked at him strangely, desolately, mocking and a little afraid.
"What's going on there?" Di Renjie couldn't wait to know the answer.
My father didn't elaborate. He only said that he regretted and feared in his heart. After returning from the Dongfeng Altar, my father resigned and went home to recuperate.
He's always at home, always behind closed doors. Except for the time to eat, there are very few people to meet. ”
Su Lie sighed and shook his head wistfully.
"I suspect that my father must have received a secret decree from the empress to carry out some important mission.
The strangest thing is that after my father had been recuperating at home for three years, he suddenly started one day in July of that year, and he always laughed inexplicably.
I also asked my father, but my father only said, "If you borrow a corpse to restore your soul, disaster will not be long in coming." Then he was in a daze without saying a word, as if he had some knot. ”
Su Lie said slowly. He guessed that the empress was going to put the Su family to death because of the secret mission his father carried out.
When Di Renjie heard this, his mind fell into deep thought.
This old general Su has been recuperating at home for three years, and suddenly he began to behave strangely?
Wait, this normal person definitely doesn't suddenly become weird, it must be stimulated by something.
Di Renjie began to think about it carefully, thinking about what happened in Heluo in July of that year.
Di Renjie thought about it, and felt that the wind and rain were smooth during that time, and there was nothing worth mentioning.
The only major event was that the empress held a pro-people move to parade the streets.
In July of that year, he returned to the court, and the empress made him the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of Dali Temple.
He marched with the empress's holy car, riding a horse and walking in the forefront, with infinite scenery.
After the street parade, when he passed by Su Mansion, he also went to visit General Su.
It's just that at that time, General Su looked at him with an indescribable weirdness, which made him very unhappy, and he never visited him again.
