The prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which emitted the smell of corrosiveness, was now filled with a thick smell of blood and low moans.

Pei Xiu was holding a small and thin dagger in his hand, and he was slicing the flesh on Gao Yang's body piece by piece.

Not far from him stood a famous jailer, holding two wolfdogs in his hands.

After Pei Xiu cut off a piece of meat, he threw it at the two dogs, letting them gobble up the saliva and laugh to himself.

Gao Yang fainted several times and woke up several times in the cold and pain after such a long period of blood loss, and finally all he was left was a small hum, his eyes overflowing with despair.

Pei Xiu casually inserted the small dagger into his shoulder, his eyebrows were kind and kind, and he was as kind as spring, "Are you going to say it?" ”

Gao Yang hung his head weakly, and his chapped lips slowly opened and closed.

Pei Xiu listened attentively, and only heard a few broken words, "You...... Want me to ...... What to say ......"

Pei Xiu said softly, "Your Excellency, you can tell me who gave you that letter first." Otherwise, the lower officials can also ask Yan Shangshu to come over and talk to the adults about the rebellion. ”

Hearing Yan Wu's name, Gao Yang's eyes clearly flashed with horror.

He would rather be cut and fed to the dog by Pei Xiu than be humiliated and tortured by Yan Wu again.

Tears filled his eyes and fell, Gao Yang opened his mouth, trying to explain, "I really ...... Didn't see it...... The letter is in ...... Study ......"

Pei Xiu smiled and raised his hand to pat his face, still looking harmless to humans and animals, "It seems that Lord Yushi still refuses to tell the truth." ”

Gao Yang was so frightened that he shuddered, and his facial features were all wrinkled and twisted together, "Please, ......"

Pei Xiu didn't pay attention to his plea at all, and sighed twice, "Why don't you understand, my lord?" Now that your nine clans have been imprisoned, including your dearest brother Dingguohou, who is also in prison, no one will be able to save you, so it is better to confess and get rid as soon as possible. ”

Gao Yang shook his head vigorously, in pain, "Believe...... Letter ......"

Pei Xiu sighed, finally ran out of patience, and said to the jailer, "Call Yan Shangshu to interrogate." ”

After that, he ignored Gao Yang's cry and walked out.

……

……

Outside the hospital, there is a bright spring and refreshing atmosphere.

Qin Lang'er was practicing swords in the courtyard, his body moved, the wind rose, and the leaves fell.

The footsteps stopped, but did not stop the broken hair on the sideburns, and the strands of hair brushed against the cheeks, revealing an angular side face.

"You're here."

Qin Lang'er put away his sword and looked at Li Ronghe, who had just stepped into the courtyard.

Although he can leave after delivering the letter for Gao Yang, he still lives here recently.

As soon as Gao Yang was not dead, he was not at ease.

Second, he is not from Chang'an, he is not familiar with the city, and it is convenient for him to live here and have people to solve his doubts.

Li Ronghe hummed and walked over to him, "There is something I want to ask you to help with." ”

Qin Lang'er nodded, "Okay." ”

Li Ronghe smiled and took the initiative to explain, "I want to save the Gao clan, before Gao Yang is convicted of rebellion." ”

Qin Lang'er didn't understand what she said, and he didn't even understand the meaning of rebellion, he only looked at Li Ronghe quietly, his amber eyes were clear and flawless, "Okay." ”

Li Ronghe was not surprised at all, or rather, Li Ronghe was used to this reaction.

After a few days of getting along, she has roughly figured out Qin Lang'er's temperament: as long as he doesn't ask, he doesn't care.

In Qin Lang'er's world, you only need to see whether it is moral, and you don't need to care about the reasons and means.

Therefore, about this matter, in fact, it is enough to tell him this information to save the Gao clan.

As for whether Gao Yang really committed a rebellion, what method to use to save it was not within his consideration.

However, he didn't ask, but Li Ronghe couldn't help but say. She never liked to keep people in the dark and do things, so she still explained to him quite seriously, "Yan Wu first cut people and then arrested them, presumably there must be complete certainty that Gao Yang will admit this rebellion." And once he recognizes it, he is afraid that the lives of thousands of people in the Gao clan will not be guaranteed. ”

"So we don't have much time, and we must settle this matter before Gao Yang formally pleads guilty."

This time, the treasure bead beside him couldn't stay a little still, Qin Lang'er was not curious, but she was very curious, "Since Gao Yang knows that the whole family will die if he confesses the crime, why does he still admit it?" ”

Li Ronghe said, "There are two reasons. First, few people can withstand Yan Wu's torture methods, especially after a high-ranking family like Gao Yang who has been pampered since childhood. ”

"Second, there are many people in Gaofu, and there are many people, even if Gao Yang doesn't admit it, there will be family members who will take refuge in Yan Wu to accuse him in order to save his life, instead of waiting to be charged, I think Gao Yang may take the initiative to admit guilt and try to take the blame to save his family's life."

"Of course, these are just speculations, if Gao Yang is smarter, he can realize that with Yan Wu's character, no matter whether he pleads guilty or not, he will not let his family go." Li Ronghe finally added.

Qin Lang'er said, "I can go and kill Gao Yang, a dead person can't admit his guilt." ”

Li Ronghe shook his head, "How can you say that you can break into the prison of the Criminal Department?" And even if you kill Gao Yang, they don't necessarily have no way to cure the Gao clan's rebellion, it can be said that he died in fear of crime, so killing Gao Yang is the best move. ”

Qin Lang'er said again, "Yan Wu wants to kill the people of the Gao clan, just because he thinks that they also know the secret. I can send another letter to Yan Wu, explaining the whole story of the letter, then won't he let go of the Gao clan? ”

Li Ronghe shook his head again, "Yan Wu is not a good person, on the contrary, he has always taken pleasure in torturing people and causing them pain. Moreover, the explanation of your letter alone is not enough to convince him that the Gao clan does not know about this matter, and it may even make him continue to expand the scope of involvement. ”

Baozhu said with a puzzled expression, "In that case, isn't it true that no matter what we do, we can't save them?" ”

Li Ronghe sighed, "The East Palace can't intervene in this matter, so with our strength, we really can't reverse the outcome of this matter, but we can still borrow our strength." ”

Borrowing?

Whose power is borrowed?

Qin Lang'er and Baozhu looked at Li Ronghe.

Li Ronghe pointed to the sky and gently spit out a few words, "We can, tired of winning." ”

Baozhu sighed, hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around, lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Absolutely not, you can't do this kind of forbidden art county master." ”

According to the laws of the Qi Kingdom, anyone who practiced the art of disgust with victory, whether it was a common man or a noble gentry, was sentenced to death.

In any case, Baozhu could not have imagined that the county lord would want to harm people by being disgusted with victory, even if the other party was a bad person.

Li Ronghe raised his hand and pointed at her head, half helpless and half funny, "What do you want?" It's not that I'm going to get tired of others. ”

Besides, the art of disgust is useless.

Otherwise, Li Jin in his previous life would have died hundreds of times.

When Baozhu heard her say this, he patted his chest with confidence, and breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied, "Then what are you going to do, county lord?" ”

Li Ronghe said, "Isn't Yan Wu going to charge Gao Yangan with a big crime?" Then I'll help him. ”
