Chapter 18: Riding a Trojan Horse

The black brush words are wild and powerful, full of stamina, occupying most of the space of the holy decree, Hou Min's signature is the old emperor's jade seal print, there is still the fragrance of pen and ink floating on it, the ink color is new, at first glance, it was just written and sent over, Nan Xuan's heart instantly sank to the bottom, closed his eyes slightly, and waved his hand in the direction of the chief eunuch.

"The minions are gone!" The old eunuch saluted in the direction of Nan Xuanye, and quickly walked out of the prison.

"What did the emperor say?" Cheng Yu walked into Nan Xuanye and asked softly.

"No mercy!" Nan Xuanye said in a deep voice, Cheng Yu's body in front of him shook slightly, and he slowly stepped back and stopped making a sound.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon! Bring them something delicious tonight! After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he walked out, not staying in the prison for a moment, leaving behind the voices of the Su family's old and young people shouting for help in the back cell.

Nan Xuanye did not return to the East Palace, but came to the palace where the queen lived overnight, and when he walked to the palace gate, the maid Lianying was standing at the palace gate waiting for him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang already knew that you would come over today, so I specially left a slave to bring you a word: guard against arrogance and rashness, and the overall situation is important!"

"What about the Queen Mother, I want to see her now!" Nan Xuanye had aquatic plants growing in his heart, and his mood was unusually irritable all day, and he had long forgotten the honorific title of the prince and claimed to be outside the clouds.

"Niangniang is chanting and praying in the Buddha hall, let you go back early, and by the way, bring you the words just now!" Lotus Shadow lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and said politely.

"Lotus Shadow! Don't stop me! Go away! Nan Xuanye had run out of patience for a long time, and was ready to directly push away the woman in front of her and break into the queen's palace.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, unless you kill the slave maid, otherwise, the slave maid will not let you see the queen mother today!" Lotus Shadow stood in front of Nan Xuanye and said with a resolute gaze.

"Good! Xiao Wang, go back! After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone back!" Lotus Shadow said to Queen Su, who was constantly knocking on the wooden fish in the palace, suddenly, there was no sound of knocking on the wooden fish inside the palace, the room was quiet, Queen Su closed her eyes slightly, her lips gently read the scriptures, and she picked up the mallet again and began to beat the wooden fish.

Prince Nan Xuanye was depressed in his heart, he naturally knew that the queen mother, who was the daughter of the Su family, was naturally sad about the defeat of the Su family, and she was bitter in her heart, but what could these mean and what could they change? The royal family is the most ruthless, cruel and most disbelievable place to tears, if you want to protect yourself, you have to keep your mouth shut, don't say anything, helpless, he can only + a lonely person back to the study of the East Palace, a person depressed drinking.

At this time, in the heavenly prison of the imperial capital, Su Yan was being rushed to the heavenly prison by a woman, and from time to time she pushed Su Yan once or twice.

"Get out of here! Don't take advantage of the opportunity to bully people, I won't fall for you! Don't take the opportunity to provoke and torture me if you find a crime at will! You're wrong! Su Yan got up from the ground, ignored the woman in front of him, and kept walking forward.

"Haha! It seems that the crown princess is really an acquaintance! I am very familiar with the unspoken rules of this prison! However, you are wrong! You're really thinking wrong! No matter who you used to be, as long as you enter this prison, my mother is sure to let you go to a layer of skin! No, no! It's for you to enjoy the enthusiasm of our prison maids! Let you also see the loveliness of the prison torture equipment! ”

"You dare! As long as I have one breath! I will definitely say to the prince, let him skin you alive!" Su Yan looked back at the fat-faced female guard in front of him and warned loudly.

"The Crown Princess! You're a great person! You can really forget what happened five years ago! The slave remembers it clearly! The slave maid remembered that the one who came in at that time was also a princess and a concubine, but the girl had obvious sharp teeth and sharp mouth! You're still too tender compared to her! It's just that your heart is really ruthless! Kill other people's children alive! ”

The fat-faced female guard said with a sigh, looking up and down at the down-and-out princess Su Yan in front of her from time to time.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Su Yan flinched obviously, and she saw that the wooden wooden horse was still there! The pointed wooden thorns on the wooden horse had been dyed with blood, and the original wooden color could not be seen at all, and her body was obviously weak, and she moved back timidly, trying to escape the terrible scene in front of her!

"Come, let you, the crown princess, experience it for yourself, what it's like to sit on a wooden horse!" The fat-faced female guard smiled lowly, glanced at each other with another tall and thin female guard, rolled up her sleeves, revealed her thick and powerful wrists, and directly set up Su Yan and walked towards the wooden horse.

"Let me go! You bastards! You let me go...... Pain! Su Yan's long nails pierced into the arms of the female guards on both sides, but it still did not change the fact that she was thrown on the wooden horse, and the two prompted the female guards to press Su Yan's shoulders hard and press down hard.

"You bastards! …… It hurts! …… Yes! Douda's cold sweat slid down her forehead, and the spikes on the wooden horse stabbed into the middle of Su Yan's legs, and a sharp voice slipped out of her throat, accompanied by the noisy sneers of the female guards on both sides, a drop of piercing red blood fell on the ground, and Su Yan in front of him also fainted in pain.

A basin of cold water poured down on Su Yan's body, she was full of excitement and hugged her arms tightly, but before she could react, the person in front of her had been pressed on the wooden horse, and someone was pulling the wooden horse to limp on the ground.

"Ah...... It hurts! …… I beg you...... Circle...... Yes! Su Yan couldn't speak anymore, and his whole body lay on the wooden horse, and the blood flowed like a pillar on the ground.

"Drag her over and wash her whole body, stop the bleeding from the wounds on her body in time, and change into a clean prison uniform, so that no one can see it!" The fat-faced female guard waved her hand, and the two female guards around her quickly dragged Su Yan, who had passed out, to the secret cell to deal with it, ignoring the sickly screams and shouts of the female prisoners in the surrounding cells, and all the female guards dispersed in a short period of time.

At this time, Su Yan's lower body was subjected to inhuman abuse, and she had already gone to half her life, just like a chopping board for others to fiddle with, this is her current state, in the men's cell on the other side, the men of the Su family who were arrested came from a heart-rending scream, and the men who were carried out of the secret small room changed from a normal man to a eunuch in just half of the night!

Su Zhe, the prime minister at the head, was the first to be dragged out and cut off, tied to the cross and whipped with a leather whip for half the night, let Su Zhe be calm and calculating, but when he was whipped with a whip, he still bit his lip from the beginning to the last moan, and the screams of pain were even more heart-wrenching, and the most uncomfortable thing was probably not the pain of his own flesh and skin!

Just when Su Zhe was beaten and scarred all over his body and gradually lost consciousness, the sound of a child's crying faintly came from his ears, when he endured the pain on his body and opened his cloudy eyes to see, he found that his grandson was being grabbed by a male guard, hanging upside down in the air, the child was so frightened that he screamed, kicked and beat his legs back and forth, and shouted Su Zhe loudly: "Grandpa!" Grandfather! There are bad people bullying me! You save me! Grandfather! ”

"Quick, you beasts...... Let go of my grandson! …… Beast" Su Zhe kept breaking free from the iron chains tied to his body, and the wound on his forehead that was whipped by the leather whip on his body was constantly soaked with blood, and the iron chains made a clattering sound, but Su Zhe's voice became smaller and smaller, more and more hoarse!

"You bad people! Let me go! Su Zhe's grandson couldn't stand it anymore and hugged the male guard who threw it back and forth and bit down on the thigh!

"Little mongrel, dare to bite someone!" With the male guard's exclamation, he immediately let go and hugged his legs, and the moment he let go, the child was thrown away and fell hard against the wall by the force of inertia.

"Ah......" With a scream, the child's head hit the stone wall, his body was bounced back, and he fell to the ground, lying on the ground with his hands and feet, face down, on the wall, and a pool of black blood on the ground!

"Bastard! Jj! Jj! Wake up, wake up......" Su Zhe looked at the boy lying on the ground and didn't move, and suddenly cried, a pair of cloudy eyes actually began to cry, and his body kept sliding, but he was tripped by the iron chain behind him, and could only hang on the cross, and the dark prison slowly emitted a pungent smell of blood.

"What's the matter with you! Say good lessons to this old thing! You've killed someone! How are you going to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow! The head of the guards who rushed in from outside, looking at Su Zhe's seven-year-old operator Su Jie, who was dead on the ground, looked at the guards who fell to the side in horror and were speechless with fright.

"Me! I just let go of my hand! This kid hugged my thigh and bit it, and it hurt to death! I forgot it for a while, so I let go of my hand, and whoever thought about it was thrown out! Your Excellency, you must save me! Help me! The small one still has a family to support! The man finally reacted at this time, realized the seriousness of the matter, and a pair of triangular eyes kept shedding tears of regret, kneeling on the ground, holding the legs of the head of the guard, and pleading bitterly.

"You beg me! Whom do I beg to go! After a night's work, Su Zhe's grandson disappeared and died in front of him, do you think he won't be high in the prince! Leave him for me! Take it down! With the irritable command of the head of the guards, the two guards standing on the side arrested the man who fell to death Su Jie, and sent someone to hide the dead Su Jie in front of him secretly, and quickly dealt with the wounds in front of him.

"Bastard! You abuse lynching! ......" Su Zhe wanted to say more, but he was quickly gagged and quickly taken down.

After a night of hard work, the people of the Su family were viciously rectified by the guards in the prison, whipped and cut off, Su Yan was forcibly pressed on the Trojan horse, which is commonly known as one of the horror torture instruments in the cell, and was stabbed in the lower body, Su Zhe was seriously injured, and his grandson Su Jie was even killed by someone, and a nightmare made Su Zhe's spirit collapse in an instant!

Becoming a king or defeating a king, he is naturally not afraid of death, but he is afraid of being tossed to death, for people who are not afraid of death, when he sees the person he cares about or the obsessive thing die in front of him and turn into a bubble, the feeling of heartache, disillusionment, and helplessness is the most tormenting, he has never had such a consequence, even if the matter in the north breaks out, he will be reprimanded by the old emperor at most, but he didn't expect such a disaster to break out!

Thinking about what happened carefully, he was sure that he would not be stupid enough to put such a critical letter into that batch of stolen silver, as long as there was no secret letter, he could have 10,000 reasons to make up that batch of stolen silver, as for Xia Yinbing's woman, he could also die and not admit it, even if Nan Xuanye hated him to death, knowing that he did it, I am afraid that in the end, he could only be controlled and coerced by him!

However, the cruel truth still made him a little confused, now he was beaten to death, and now even if he regrets it, it is too late, thinking that his head will move tomorrow, and the entire two-hundred-year-old Su family will become history in the capital, and a wave of pathos swells in his heart!

The kind of remorse, sadness, unwillingness, helplessness, helplessness, heartache that poured out from his heart all flashed in his mind one by one, and he suddenly felt a little pity for the high-ranking emperor Nan Wuyan, at least, he Su Zhe had worked hard to fight, worked hard for his hegemony, what about the old emperor!

Relying on him and Xia Manjiang's internal and external support to ascend to the throne, after a few years of diligent government, he began to become complacent and arrogant, and began to constantly find ways to eradicate his brothers, and excluded dissidents politically.

It's just that now, he can't see the decline and bad luck of the old emperor, and he himself is the first to be eviled, which is quite sad!

He even suspected that what he experienced tonight was that the mediocre emperor was looking for someone to poison him, otherwise where would those jailers who watched people's faces and eat have the courage to dare to attack the courtiers! Although he was convicted!

However, with the same methods and similar experiences, Su Zhe knew in his heart, and he naturally knew that it was useless to scold these bad jailers! They are just tools for that person to eliminate disasters and do bad things one by one, step by step, even if he knows it clearly, the damage inflicted on him is not a lot at all, it only aggravates and accelerates his decline!

Su Zhe was lying in the cold and dark prison, looking at the burning flames hanging high on both sides of the dark corridor outside, and his heart began to have some desolate ridicule, especially the two jailers on the opposite side were secretly drinking wine and eating meat! There are two other guards outside! As long as someone comes, they immediately pack up and stand up, and they look like they are conscientiously guarding the prisoners!

"Hehehe! ......" Looking at the gradually brightening sky in the cell, Su Zhe, who was covered in scars, actually smiled! He still saw the rising sun, and it must have been the usual way to die at three o'clock in the afternoon!

However, when everyone in the Su family was dragged out of the prison, Su Zhe suddenly found out that he was wrong! It's dawn today! But it was a rainy day!

Nan Xuanye is still wearing a yellow official robe, and he doesn't say a word about last night's actions! Someone's got his head struck! He couldn't see Nan Xuanye, just listening to the names and actions of the people around him, he knew that he was being dragged all the way to the entrance of the vegetable market!

He heard his daughter Su Yan crying loudly! Su Yan kept pulling the people around him, but he couldn't make effective syllables in his mouth, he could only listen to the sound of rattling chains, heavy footsteps, and crying! The shouting and scolding of the people around him, as well as the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on his body, he could only see a cloud of white light!

His legs were kicked and knelt on the ground, and the sound of rain in his ears was smashing on the bluestone road, his hands were tied with iron chains, and his hands could clearly feel the sound of the rain and the chains colliding, the coldness of the chains, the wet rain, the cold wind whistling in his ears, the hood on his head being agitated by the wind, and the sound of the board that someone had just thrown on the ground, he knew that it was the prelude to beheading!

Su Zhe closed his eyes slightly, he heard the cheers of the people around him, and the click of a big knife on his neck, just like chopping melons and vegetables, the clicking sound was endless, and the grunt of his head hitting the ground was silently counted in his heart: one, two, three......

I don't know how long he counted, and when he counted close to two hundred, he actually began to whimper, and his body curled up on the ground, but the people on both sides quickly suppressed his struggle, the sadness of disillusionment, the struggle for fear of death, was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, his fear came out through the whimper in his mouth, and the heavy rain smashed on the ground, making people's hearts chill, and the merciless scimitar was raised high in the moment, reflecting the fear and anxiety of the people on the side, and with a click, a frightened head rolled to the ground!

The black cloth cover rolled down to the ground, and was blown up by the wind and rolled to the side, revealing Su Zhe's dead eyes, on the opposite teahouse, Xia Yinbing, who was standing by the window, wearing a veil on his face, looked at the tumbling head and black mask on the ground, quietly closed the window of the teahouse, stood up, left a little broken silver on the tea table, and Shi Shiran left. “

The sky gradually darkened, lightning broke out in the air, dark clouds gradually gathered overhead, thunder rumbled overhead, bright lights flashed in front of them, the rumbling sound in the ears continued, the crowd of people around gradually took refuge under the eaves of the teahouse and inn around them, and there were still bold people wearing robes and looking at the heads rolling down on the ground!

"Wow......" The child's cry resounded all around, the woman holding the child was so frightened that she immediately covered the child's mouth, and ran into the distance in panic, the guards standing at the entrance of the vegetable market were wearing robes one by one, with straw hats on their heads, and the rain fell from the sky, smashed on the clothes, and flowed down the clothes to the ground.

Circles of dark red blood flowed out of the skulls rolling off the ground, and the puddles that fell on the ground converged together, becoming dark red rain, bang, a muffled thunder flashed above the head again, and a dazzling lightning flashed in front of him, Nan Xuanye stood in the rain, looking at the guards in front of him to find a white cloth to cover these severed heads and corpses, and the corpses were carried out one by one.
