Chapter 46: The Night Is Dark
The soldiers on the night patrol walked through the streets of the Imperial City with torches held high, and the husband walked in the alleys of the back streets of the Imperial Prison with his pennies.
"Bang!"
There were no pedestrians on the road, and it was quiet, except for the occasional laughter from the gold nest, or the strange screams of some drunken gambler beating and scolding the woman, which pierced the night.
As soon as Zhao Yin got off the horse, a carriage drove over.
"Ah Yin!"
The black horse is equipped with a gilded saddle, and the incense car has not arrived, and the grace and fragrance are like flowers and trees in early spring, stepping on the wind.
Zhao Yin looked at the man quietly, waited for him to lift the curtain, and bowed his hand, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu came here late at night, I don't know what to do?" β
Zhao Huanhua, the king of Chu, jumped off the carriage with a flick of his clothes, chuckled, and yawned tiredly.
"This king just came out of the drunken red mansion after eating wine, and by the way, he came to ask for someone."
The steed snorted,
Zhao Yin frowned, "Who?" β
He was polite and indifferent, Zhao Huan didn't seem to mind, glanced at the brocade guard on duty at the gate of the Imperial Prison, and laughed.
"It's windy outside, let's go in and talk about it, and then we can talk about it when we go in."
Zhao Huan approached familiarly, stretched out his arm and put it on Zhao Yin's shoulder, a bit like a prodigal son in the market. Zhao Yin frowned and glanced at him, Zhao Huan retracted his hand again, snorted, put his hands behind his back, and swaggered in front.
β¦β¦
Shi Yong hid in a dark corner opposite, her body prostrate on the ground, and she could see the interaction between the two clearly, but until the two long figures were hidden in the door, she had no expression.
A night breeze blew, and her fingers dug deep into the mud.
The two brocade guards at the gate of the edict did not move.
They don't move, and neither does Shi Yong.
After a while, one of the brocade guards rubbed his hands, walked to the other, bowed his head and chatted about something.
Shi Yong squinted, under the protection of the darkness, sneaked under the walls of the Imperial Prison, looked up at the tall and sturdy wall, she took off the three-claw anchor hook tied around her waist and flicked it gently.
Bite! The anchor hook hooked the wall, and when the two brocade guards came over to check the situation, Shi Yong had climbed up neatly, put away the three-claw anchor hook, and sneaked into the courtyard.
"Do you hear it?"
"Nope."
"Hey, that's probably what I heard wrong."
Shi Yongping breathed tightly, listening to the conversation between the two outside, and didn't move for a long time.
In the edict prison at night, a few lonely lamps illuminated the shadows of the trees like ghosts, eerie.
Shi Yong once died here, and his feelings about this place were very different, and he felt a chill down his spine inexplicably.
But she came anywayβ
originally thought that Yan Mu and Yun Du Nantian had both died in the catastrophe of Yongren Garden. Now that she has been reborn and become another person again, let the past go back to zero, who knows that they are not only alive, but also trying to find a way to avenge her.
Shi Yong couldn't sit idly by.
Well, there were some things she had to figure out.
β¦β¦
The corridor of the prison prison is greeted by a cold wind.
Zhao Huan sneezed uncomfortably and looked at Zhao Yin and laughed.
"Did Xu Jin make the original move?"
Zhao Yin turned his head: "His Royal Highness has never asked about political affairs, why do you want him?" β
"If you are entrusted, you don't have to ask so much." Zhao Huan smiled and came to hug his shoulders again, "Ah Yin, sell me a favor." I'll invite you to get drunk and eat wine in the Red Mansion when you go backβ"
Zhao Yin slowly pulled his hand away and said coldly: "Your Highness has time to take care of these idle matters, it is better to go into the palace to accompany Your Majesty." β
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling, "Imperial Brother Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it won't take a few days to get better." β
Zhao Yin said: "Your Majesty has been sick for several months. β
"Yes!" Zhao Huan suddenly lowered his face, "Then shouldn't the Metropolitan Governor consider it...... Pull those useless old things from the hospital to kill them one by one? β
Zhao Yin looked at him with a calm face and didn't say a word.
"Joke joke." Zhao Huan immediately regained his smile: "You don't know, this king has always been a person who can't afford big things in the eyes of the imperial brother, so let's bother him less, lest he see that I am more sick, if I get angry, then the king will be guilty." β
As he spoke, he patted Zhao Yin on the shoulder with a smile.
"With a minister like Lord Governor taking care of the royal brother, this king doesn't have to worry about it. Hahaha. β
Zhao Huan walked in front with a smile, and when he saw that Zhao Yin still didn't speak, he stopped again and walked side by side with him.
"I heard that the imperial brother plans to marry Huaining's girl to the barbarian son of Wuliang Khan as a side concubine?"
Zhao Yin glanced at him lightly, "Your Highness is well-informed. β
Hearing that his words were unknown, Zhao Huan asked with a smile, "Are you really willing?" Ah Yin, what a good thing you areβ"
"Your Highness." Zhao Yin interrupted him and accentuated his tone, "The princess and her relatives are state affairs, if Your Highness has any questions, you can enter the palace to find Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for Weichen to talk more." β
Zhao Huan was taken aback, looked at his cold face, and smiled disapprerovingly, "Okay, then tell me, Xu Jinyuan, that old guy, what are you going to do?" β
"If he can recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, spare his whole family."
Spare his whole family, and don't spare him?
King Chu chuckled.
"Ah Yin, you are too unkind. How big is it? I heard that your girl was not ruined, let alone caused a catastrophe. Xu Jin has been an official for many years, and he has a clear name, if he is folded in the edict prison, when the time comes, those officials are afraid that they will go to the imperial brother to talk about you againββ"
Zhao Yin's face did not change, "I am Dayan's courtier, not Yanguan's family." Your Majesty has granted me the right to dictate the prison, and I should do my best. β
β¦β¦
The prison where Xu Jinyuan was being held was approaching.
Hearing the footsteps, Xu Jinyuan scolded even more.
"Your mother Zhao Yin, shameless person, you set up a private court, humiliate the court officials, I want to face the saint, I want to go to the Jinluan Palace to visit you, I want to your ancestors......"
He has suffered a lot in the edict these days, and his mouth has not been idle, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of Zhao Yin's ancestors for a bloody life.
Zhao Huan listened outside and coughed: "You let him scold?" β
Zhao Yin didn't answer, pushed the door in, pulled the stunned Wei Zhou away, picked up a wooden stick from the torture rack next to him, hit it twice in his hand and tried it, put it back, leaned over and picked up an iron rod with thorns all over his body, and walked in front of Xu Jinyuan without saying a word.
"You, what are you going to do?"
During the night trial in Weizhou just now, Xu Jin originally knew that he was soft and easy to speak, and his mouth was so dry that he scolded, but now he saw Zhao Yin walking over coldly like a murderous god, and the iron rod full of spikes made him even more chilled.
Zhao Yin's face was pale, and his dark eyes were full of cold murderous aura, outlining his delicate eyebrows like a god of death from hell.
Xu Jinyuan's face turned white, and he gasped, "Zhao Yin, you dare!" β
Before the words fell, the iron rod shook a dark arc in the air and landed heavily on his body.
"Ahh Xu Jinyuan couldn't avoid it, he screamed in pain, opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his ragged clothes could no longer cover the bloody wounds on his body.
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Zhao Yin, if you have a kind, you will kill the old man! Kill me! β
Xu Jinyuan's bones were quite hard, and the corners of his mouth were dripping blood, but he still didn't control his mouth, gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Yin and scolded non-stop.
Blood was dripping down.
The smell of blood rose to his nose.
The corners of Zhao Yin's mouth twitched slightly, he took back the iron rod and looked at it, and suddenly turned his head and handed it to Zhao Huan, "Your Highness try?" β
Zhao Huan seemed to be frightened and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Ah Yin, what are you kidding? I can't do it, I can't do it, I'm afraid of killing a chicken. β
Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly: "Aren't you entrusted by others?" Don't dare to do this, how can you kill people and kill people? β
"Me? Misunderstanding! Zhao Huan's face changed, and he laughed again.
And Xu Jinyuan, who was on the torture rack, stared at Zhao Yin when he heard this, looked at Zhao Yin, and then at Zhao Huan, as if he suddenly understood something, and spouted a mouthful of blood.
"Old man, old man has never spit out a word......"
Zhao Yin's face was slightly pale, he handed the iron rod to Wei Zhou's hand, lazily sorted out the clothes on his body, and said coldly: "This seat will go first." You listen to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. β
Wei Zhou glanced at him and bowed his head, "Humble and orderly." β
Zhao Yin said lightly: "The old puppet is unwilling to recruit, and it is useless to keep it." β
Seeing that he was leaving, Zhao Huan couldn't sit still, and raised his hand to call him: "Ah Yin, aren't you embarrassing me?" I'm just here to ask for someone. You'reβ"
Zhao Yin turned his head and smiled slowly.
"The man is handed over to you."
β¦β¦
Shi Yong avoided the night light and the guards, and entered the main room of the edict under the cover of darkness. This is the office of the generals and colonels of the Jinyi Guard, and it is quietly located in the night at this time.
Shi Yong slowly approached the root of the wall and put his ear against the crack in the door.
There was no sound at all.
She looked around, slowly pushed the door open, dodged inside, and turned to close the door again.
It was dark inside.
Her heart beats fast like a drum.
This is the edict, a mystery that is about to be revealed.
There is a faint fragrance in the quiet air, revealing an eerie atmosphere, which is unusual.
Shi Yong took out the fire fold from his arms, blew it lightly, tiptoed to the desk, and flipped through the documents and drawers in the faint light, without letting go of a single place.
Wrong.
Shi Yong took a deep breath.
How is this crisp fragrance so familiar?
Shi Yong raised the fire fold and expanded the scope of the light.
Empty.
A cold room, gloomy and silent.
The firelight flickered, and Shi Yong's body suddenly stiffened, and he looked down at the shadow under his feet.
A man stood quietly behind her.
"You are so bold, you dare to break into the prison."

It's a bit of a long chapter again......
