Chapter 55: The Righteous Son Succeeds the First (1)
Han Derang felt a little unbearable in his heart, and was about to let go of his mouth, Xiao Siwen glanced at him, and said to everyone righteously, "You know what crime you have committed, if this official speaks out, it will only add embarrassment." If this official listens to you and lets you go at will, where will he put the discipline of our dynasty? Where will the majesty of our emperor be placed? ”
He instructed his men to take these people to the residence of the palace attendants, and tied them up in a circle, saying that the punishment was too cruel and that the emperor was kind, but he would not give the suspect water and food until he was willing to confess something to Xiao Siwen himself.
Xiao Siwen's trip is a sharp punishment for the eyes of the rest of the parties, deterring those powerful and making them dare not act recklessly; The second is to let those fish who slip through the net see the end, and don't want to do anything in vain.
At dusk, Xiao Siwen breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled lovingly at Han Derang, "Derang, you're tired, let's go." ”
"You know that there are many innocent people, and you are really ruthless?" Han Derang looked at the sunset flowing in the sky in a daze, "Although my father Kuang Hei is cowardly and pedantic, he can always cherish the kindness of a doctor and not hurt innocent lives, but today, I am watching so many wronged people and wronged things powerless, heh, the son of a doctor in vain." ”
Han Derang smiled bitterly, didn't look at Xiao Siwen again, and went straight forward.
Xiao Siwen's heart trembled, and he stretched out his hands. A pair of hands with thick calluses were also plated with a layer of red halo under the fiery red glow.
Yes, my hands are stained with blood, I don't want to do these hurtful things, and I have to do it, if I don't want to be a fish, I can only be a knife.
Xiao Siwen sighed lightly and walked towards Xihua Gate.
"Little rabbit, you're still pretending to be faint here, be careful that I really order someone to knock you out, get up quickly." A hundred steps away from Xihua Gate, there was a servant in his thirties, kicking a small child wearing a waiter's costume on the ground.
There were many palace people in the palace, and there were not enough people for a while, so they hurriedly selected people to enter the palace. The old attendant took a group of children, and when he looked at them, the oldest of these children was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was about ** years old.
In the distance, Han Derang shouted, "Stop! ”
Xiao Siwen also stepped forward in three or two steps, and the old servant hurriedly bowed down, "I've seen Lord Xiao... This kid is not sensible, he... He..."
Han Derang snorted coldly, helped the child on the ground up, patted the soil off his body, and said softly, "How old are you?" What is it called? ”
The child's big eyes were dripping, his long eyelashes couldn't stop blinking, he looked very flattering, but a little timid, he saluted unfamiliarly, "Back to the adult, the villain, the villain is ten years old, I have only heard the beggar uncle call me 'boy', well, I should be called 'boy'." ”
Han Derang tugged at the corners of his mouth, pulled out a bitter smile, he touched the child's little face, and said astringently, "My lord, is this the prosperous era of Daliao that we are planning?" wronged the innocent attendants, and let these innocent children come to the palace to be called around at such a young age, ruining the future. Is all this really right..."
Xiao Siwen didn't know how to answer Han Derang, he only looked at the child silently, the wide robe of the servant was over his body, and his body became thinner and thinner. Suddenly, the child raised his eyelids to peek at himself, his big smart eyes blinked at him a few times, and when he saw Xiao Siwen's serious appearance, he quickly lowered his eyelashes again.
Xiao Siwen's heart warmed, and the innocence revealed in these eyes made him think of his daughter Xiao Xuan at home. The daughter was carefree when she was young, and often smiled at herself with eyes as pure as spring water, winking playfully, whether she was happy, doing something wrong, or sad.
