"You said that I had seen you privately, then I wanted to ask you, so many candidates, why did I choose a few of you?" With cold eyes in his eyes, He Hong asked the people.

"Lord He suddenly met, a few of us were flattered, and at the same time we were also very flustered, with doubts, a few of us asked the adults this question at that time, how could the adults answer a few of us, don't the adults remember?"

"What the official has never done, how do you let the official remember?" A few people said that they had noses and eyes, as if He Hong had really seen them in private, and asked lightly, He Hong's eyes were cold.

"My lord, you said at the time that you had learned about us candidates who had signed up in advance, and felt that a few of us were capable, so you wanted to give us a chance to make contributions! These are the original words of adults, so think about it! ”

Seeing this, the candidate who had just replied hurriedly took over the words and continued, as he spoke, his expression couldn't help but reveal a little anxiety.

These people look realistic, they lie without even blinking their eyes, and they really don't look like nerds who have never entered the ranks.

The heart is like a mirror, He Hong knows that these people must not be ordinary candidates, but they are just deliberately arranged by Gu Shichong to frame himself.

Including the person who reported anonymously, He Hong originally thought that he had offended a certain rich kid, but now it seems that he is afraid that it is also Gu Shichong's person.

"What is the danger of adding sin? Gu Shichong really took great pains to deal with me! "He has been an official for many years, and the obscurity of officialdom, how could He Hong not know, it is useless to say more, he simply stopped struggling.

Waving his hand to signal the guards to take the young men down, Xiao Tong pretended to be puzzled and said: "What is Lord He talking about, why can't this official understand, the scientific examination has always been a matter of the ministry, how can it be related to Gu Xiang?" ”

"Lord Xiao was pulled by Gu Shichong, and there are twists and turns, I think Lord Xiao should know it very well!" Snorting, He Hong said disdainfully.

"What Lord He means, the official really doesn't understand, the official only knows that the fact that Lord He leaked the exam questions is already conclusive evidence, otherwise, Lord He simply admitted it happily, and the case will be closed! Save the hassle! ”

"I can't stop you from forcibly convicting me, but I will never admit what I haven't done!" He Hong's eyes lit up firmly.

"As an official in the same dynasty, Xiao really doesn't want to torture Lord He, Lord He still recruits himself, the He family has been an official for generations and has made great contributions to the development of Western Chu, if Lord He takes the initiative to admit his guilt, presumably the emperor will also be lenient on Lord He!" Xiao Tong tried to persuade him.

"It is precisely because the He family has been loyal and good for generations, how can I admit this trumped-up crime at will in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and shame my ancestors! If you want to kill or chop, listen to it, Lord Xiao doesn't have to bother anymore! ”

With a noble temperament, for He Hong, his reputation is higher than life, even if he dies, he can't let his life be stained, let alone let the He family's reputation be ruined in his own hands for generations.

"Lord He's character of treating death as home, the official appreciates it very much, but the truth of frankness and leniency, the official thinks that Lord He also understands, Lord He can not care about his own life and death, but he should always think about it for your family!"

He Hong, who had been tilting his head, was finally willing to raise his eyes and look at the person in front of him when he heard Xiao Tong mention his family.

"You just want to bring me down, as long as I die, the old and weak women and children of the He family will not pose any threat to you at all, don't go too far!"

"This official doesn't want to hurt the innocent, but this decision is not in the hands of this official, leaking the exam questions, saying that it is a capital crime, if it rises to the level of selling officials and lords to form a party for personal gain, or even plotting against the wrongdoing, it will be a big crime to behead and even punish the nine clans!"

"This official will give Lord He a day to think about it, whether to take the initiative to confess his guilt and save his family or let the entire He family be buried for the sake of fame!"

After speaking, Xiao Tong motioned for the guards to take the person away, and then he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" The guards were just about to escort people away, but He Hong suddenly opened his mouth at Xiao Tong, "I want to meet the little girl Mu Wan, I don't know if Lord Xiao can send someone to spread the word!" ”

He Hong is incorruptible, there are only two side rooms in the house, He Muwan's biological mother is his original partner, and they are very affectionate, so after He Muwan's mother died of illness, He Hong did not marry another wife.

There are no children under his knees, in addition to He Muwan, He Hong also has two small daughters, who are from two side rooms, the older one has just turned ten years old this year, and the younger one is only six years old this year.

If he is destined to not escape this catastrophe, He Hong is most worried about He Muwan, before he dies, no matter what, he wants to meet her.

"Lord He should know that this is death row, and according to the law, death row inmates are not allowed to visit their relatives!" Xiao Tong was a little embarrassed.

"He Mou has never begged someone in his life, and I hope that Lord Xiao will help He Mou for the sake of his colleagues, this kindness, He Mou will let the little girl remember it!"

In order to be able to meet He Muwan, He Hong actually bowed his head to him, looking at He Hong's eyes full of sincerity, Xiao Tongxin was moved.

"This official will send someone to Ruiling's Mansion to deliver a letter and inform Princess Ruiling of Lord He's intentions, but Ruiling's mind is unpredictable, whether the princess can have the opportunity to visit Dali Temple, this official can't guarantee it!" With his eyebrows frowning slightly, Xiao Tong dropped this sentence and left the cell quickly.

Tossed until late at night, the prison guards were already sleepy, and they didn't know where they got so much energy, so they had to arrest He Hong overnight.

Locking He Hong into the cell, the prison guards yawned and complained, except for a few jailers on duty tonight, the others hurried to sleep after Xiao Tong left.

In the dim cell, a wisp of white smoke drifted in, and in a short time, the person on duty fell asleep.

A dark shadow fell from the sky, and after careful temptation, he took the key to the prison door on the jailer's body, walked in gently, and went straight to the death row where He Hong was being held.

He Fu is in danger, and he doesn't even know if his family can be saved, even if He Hong is open-minded, it is difficult to sleep.

But after tossing for most of the night, he was really tired, and he was sitting on the stone couch in the cell with his eyes closed, He Hong suddenly heard the sound of the door, and his heart was shocked, and he quickly opened his eyes.

"Who are you? What are you doing? Suddenly seeing the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him, He Hong asked with a frightened face.

"Shh The man in black put his index finger on his lips and motioned to He Hong not to make a sound, and as the person who came pulled down the veil in front of He Hong, the horror in He Hong's eyes completely turned into shock.
