People are under the eaves.

Mei Xiaoren had no choice but to follow the two guards out of Xingzhiyuan.

The academy was deserted and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Along the way, she only saw a few small servants walking around, and they all walked forward with their heads buried in their heads, as if walking on thin ice.

The place where the guards took her was not the Jingqiu Courtyard where Shangshu stayed, but another courtyard. When she walked outside the wall, she could hear the sound of a whipping inside, and a terrible scream, which was terrifying.

"Beat, beat me hard, so that you cheap slaves dare to be disrespectful to your son"

Mei Xiaoren walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw the situation inside. Several of them were tied to stakes on both sides of the courtyard, covered in blood, while the guards of the Wen Mansion were striking them with whips, and they were extremely ruthless.

She stood in front of the door for only a moment, and saw with her own eyes that a subordinate could not resist the torture, lost his breath, and was carried out like an animal by the people of the Wen Mansion.

Mei Xiaoren's heart was cold, Jinshan Academy should not be a pure place away from strife

How did it become a place for blood

What's even more sad is that it is not Lord Shangshu who is in charge of the life and death of these subordinates, but an old man in his fifties, judging from his clothes, he should be the steward of the Wen Mansion.

The old man stood in front of him, supervising the execution of his men on both sides with his hands behind his back, and when he saw someone coming outside the door, he raised his head and looked at her.

The sound of whipping and screaming filled the room, and it was so noisy that the old man raised his hand and motioned for them to stop.

When the surroundings were quiet, he asked: "You are Mei Xiaoren"

Mei Xiaoren walked into the courtyard and forced himself not to look at the bloody situation on both sides. She wasn't afraid, she had tortured heinous people in the past, but now it was a group of innocent people who were slaughtered as fish and meat.

They are really disrespectful to Wen Bin

How can it be

The classmates still didn't dare to laugh at Wen Bin, let alone these subordinates.

Their lives were just used by the Wenfu as a tool to establish power.

Mei Xiaoren stood still and answered yes.

"You're in the same room with him," the old man pointed behind her.

Mei Xiaoren looked back, and then saw the person standing in the corner and the desperate look on his face.

"Su Li." Mei Xiaoren called.

Su Liben was in a trance, and when he saw her, he shook his head in a panic: "Brother Mei, you shouldn't have come here." ”

Mei Xiaoren was silent, whether she came or not, she couldn't help it at all.

There were still a few guards of the Wen Mansion standing by the wall, and one of them picked up the clothes on Su Li's shoulders and pushed him forward violently.

Su Li staggered a few steps to the ground, and got up in a panic, his embarrassed appearance caused several guards to laugh.

"He intends to poison my son-in-law, and you are his roommate, so you should know." The old man opened his eyes and said, "You two are complicit."

Mei Xiaoren smiled, "

What proof do you have to prove that he poisoned him, and what proof do you have to prove that I have a share in it?"

"It's none of Brother Mei's business." Su Li's expression was blank, but his words were clear.

The old man let go of his hand behind his back, revealing the whip he was holding in his hand, and pulled the whip and pointed at Su Li: "It doesn't matter, in my opinion, the two of you conspired to murder the young master of my family." He turned to Mei Xiaoren again, "I heard that my son-in-law was punished by you."

Mei Xiaoren didn't answer, because there was no justice here, and it was useless to say anything, but she was sure that this slave dared to beat these subordinates but didn't dare to touch her and Su Li, otherwise how could she bother to speak.

The next person is the next person, and the student is the student. The protégé of the mountain elder, where can the slaves of the Wenfu move.

"My lord is accompanying his son at this time, let me come to ask first, you had better explain as soon as possible, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." The old man rolled up his sleeves again and said slowly, "I don't remember how many people I killed by mistake this night. ”

"You want to extract a confession," Mei Xiaoren hooked the corners of his lips.

"If you can't survive and die, then don't make a confession." The old man walked in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back again, and said contemptuously, "Looking at the entire Daning, except for the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is the largest in the Wen Mansion, what the Wen Mansion says is your confession." ”

"It's none of our business," Su Li said in a daze.

"If you have anything to say, get down on your knees and say."

Su Li was in a trance, and knelt down towards the servant without thinking about it.

"Su Li"

Mei Xiaoren wanted to drag him up, but Su Li was already paralyzed with fright, and she couldn't pull it.

"It's hard for you to kneel and stand up again," she frowned, her words deep.

The old man smiled and ridiculed: "It's really more obedient than the dog that my grandfather raised." ”

A guard from the Wen Mansion came in and said, "Steward Zhao, the lord wants to interrogate them personally, and the old man in the stable didn't survive the torture and died." ”

"Dead is dead." The old man took the whip and pointed at the minions around him, "There are always a few more deaths here, so there is no need to make a fuss." ”

Mei Xiaoren was horrified: "You killed Uncle Wu"

"He didn't discipline his subordinates well, so that Namanu dared to frame his son, he deserved to die" The old slave's eyes were full of fierce light, staring at Mei Xiaoren and said, "Don't go with me to see my master, wait for the master to speak, and I will take your life."

Shang Xue Dian.

The seats in the hall were empty, not a single student was present, but there were quite a few people standing in front of them, including gentlemen including Bishop Zhou and people from the Wenfu.

On the throne sat an old man with a gray beard, dressed in brown clothes, and his wrinkled face was extremely serious.

He is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and it is said that he is a person whose power is second only to that of the prime minister, and his official authority is enough to deter the academy and make the people present dare not breathe.

The old man, who was still very energetic, immediately pretended to be his grandson, stepped forward and bent down, and said respectfully: "Master, the person has brought it." ”

Wen Shangshu raised his eyes to look at her and Su Li, his eyes became more and more cold, and he asked, "It's you."

They hurt Bin'er."

Su Li had been frightened by the old man before, and now he couldn't answer in the face of Wen Shangshu.

Mei Xiaoren replied with heavy eyes: "No." ”

Wen Shangshu looked at Steward Zhao and was a little displeased: "Let you ask, you didn't ask anything"

"Master, without the master's permission, the minions dare not torture them"

Wen Shangshu picked up the teacup and said in a calm tone: "The old man will give you this power now, and you will be here in front of the old man." ”

Bishop Zhou was shocked, and stepped forward to say: "My lord, the two of them are students of the academy, if there is a good one, how should the mountain elder explain it?"

"The mountain is old, and the old man has to discipline the students on his behalf, why, you object" Wen Shangshu glanced at Bishop Zhou.

"My lord, Mei Xiaoren is recommended by the prefect of Xuanzhou"

Wen Shangshu interrupted Bishop Zhou's words: "It's just a prefect, and he recommends that you accept students from the Shu clan in Jinshan Academy, and you changed this rule."

"I don't dare." Bishop Zhou arched his hand and hurriedly said, "The former scholar of the Wei University came to the academy and admired this student quite a lot, if something happens to him, I am afraid that the scholar will be alarmed." ”

"As long as you don't say it, how can the news be transmitted to the capital" Wen Shangshu retracted his gaze and looked ahead, and his voice was cold, "Bin'er is your nephew, but you are facing them, because you don't want to recognize your sister"

What a threat. Mei Xiaoren could hear that Bishop Zhou had been helping her speak, hoping that Wen Shangshu would let her go, but who knew that Wen Shangshu was threatened by Wen Shangshu with his sister and told him to shut up.

"In order to protect this student, you actually punished Bin'er for going to the current person, making my Wenfu lose face, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, this account, the old man has not yet settled with you"

Wen Shangshu's face became more and more heavy, and he grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it at Steward Zhao, "What are you still doing standing, isn't it that my Shangshu Mansion really can't help two students."

The tea cup "boasted" with a heavy anger and shattered at Steward Zhao's feet, so frightened that Steward Zhao hurriedly obeyed the order, pulled down the whip hanging on his waist and swung it at a person nearby.

Mei Xiaoren watched the whip hit Su Li, and was suddenly shocked, but Su Li was already stunned, and he didn't know how to dodge at all.

She reached out to pull his arm, but it was too late, and when the whip came down, Su Li's clothes exploded at the arm, and a bloody mark appeared on the flesh.

The whip brushed the back of Mei Xiaoren's hand, leaving a red mark, which hurt hotly.

"Lord Wen's courage is good, when did Jinshan Academy become the world of Wenfu, and Lord Wen shouted and killed here"

The cold voice from outside the door made Steward Zhao, who was about to hit the second time, stop.

Mei Xiaoren looked back, the sun was scorching outside, but the person who came was dressed in dark clothes, standing in front of the door to block the light in the hall a little.

The python pattern embroidered with gold and silver threads on his robe, coupled with the gold crown he wears on his head, is enough to show that his identity is not ordinary, at least it is very different from when he first saw him.

Mei Xiaoren only sighed that she couldn't eat here and left, and the living Hades still came to join in the fun
