Xie Huai'an frowned, not too curious about the hidden meaning of his uncle's words.

Adults like my uncle seem to like to let others guess riddles, which can be summed up in a simple sentence, but they prefer to say one clue after another, and then let people guess the answer to the riddle according to the clues they give, as if their purpose is not to guide others, but just want others to spend more effort.

After getting used to the action of digging pits by the people around him, Xie Huaian also had his own way to deal with it.

As long as it wasn't something particularly urgent, he could have taken it as an uncle's reminder and didn't exist.

Anyway, no matter how much he racked his brains to think of a way to break the game, in the end, he still had to wait until a fixed time to get the real answer, and it was better to do nothing than to do something in vain that would not necessarily succeed.

Isn't it fun to work at ease?

Xie Huai'an did not deliberately pursue the hidden truth in Fan Ze's words, he was more interested in the traitor who was now being held in a prison cell than the kind of thing that would be known sooner or later.

This time, the traitors caught almost filled the prison cells in the palace.

If he hadn't personally watched how those people wept and confessed their betrayal, Xie Huai'an really couldn't imagine that there would be people at the border who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.

They are all people who live in the border all the year round, even if their former hometown is not in Meaux, but after living for many years, all their relatives and friends have stayed in Metro, what is the difference between Meaux and their hometown!

The barbarians outside the border pass are enemies who have a hatred for killing their relatives, and they are also the heads of many barbarians, so they can be promoted step by step.

Whether it was public or private, Xie Huaian couldn't figure out what reason they had for betrayal.

But in fact, those who were once regarded as guardian saints by the people at the border gates really deviated from their original intentions and became traitors who collaborated with the enemy and treason.

In the dead of night, it's a good time to rest.

Xie Huai'an followed Fan Zeyu to the prison cell in the city, and the prisoners in the cell were all people who deserved it.

After all, it is a place used to hold sinners, and the smell in the cell is not good, with the slightest smell of decay, so that Xie Huai'an, who had just entered the door, couldn't help frowning.

The sound of the prisoners' wails and begging for mercy was heard in his ears, and Xie Huai'an turned his head to see that the prisoner was being tortured.

He paused, not because the punishment looked too bloody.

Instead, he suddenly saw a very different person among the sad-faced prisoners.

The man was dressed in a green shirt and sat in a dirty cell, but he didn't have the slightest intention of being wronged, he looked very comfortable, Xie Huai'an felt that if the other party could have a folding fan in his hand at this time, he would definitely shake it.

Like his scholarly appearance, he should be standing in the school to teach ignorant children, or chanting poems and painting in the bamboo forest with three or five friends, anyway, he should not be sitting in such a dark cell.

I have to say that looking at the face is really a must-do thing.

Xie Huai'an suppressed the sudden sigh in his heart and turned his head to look at Fan Zeyu, who had already walked out of a distance.

"Uncle, what did that man do in the past, and did he also arrest him this time?"

He was originally following behind Fan Zeyu, preparing to have a long experience and see what happened to those traitors.

It's just that before he could go deeper, he has already attracted most of the attention of someone who is particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Fan Zeyu turned his head and saw someone who had been treated specially, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes: "No matter what he did in the past, you just need to know that he is now a prisoner and is not worthy of your attention......"

Director Ming chuckled: "Tsk! You're not so interesting! ”

"If it weren't for my credit, how would you know how many people in Mo's City were colluding with foreign enemies, and now that those traitors have been caught by you, are you ready to start unloading and killing donkeys?"

The tone is very intimate, as if it is a joke between friends.

Xie Huai'an subconsciously looked at Fan Zeyu, obviously because Pei Yin sent a letter from Kyoto, his uncle had the heart to investigate thoroughly, and those traitors were not all because the news was not equal, and what they did on weekdays happened to reveal flaws, so they were caught by their uncle!

But listening to the meaning of the man in the cell, it seems that the credit for the arrest should be shared among the other party......

Fan Zeyu looked at Director Ming without changing his face: "It's just that after you were arrested, you couldn't see that your fellow party continued to get away with it, and before you even used torture, you directly told the identity of other people." ”

"Why do you want to say such misleading things now, except that a child like him who doesn't know the truth will be deceived by you, do you still think that someone will come to save you?"

Even if someone was willing to enter the city to vouch for him, he would only be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and would be imprisoned together.

The charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason is not just a joke.

Director Ming lifted the hem of his clothes, changed to a more upright sitting posture, and looked up at Xie Huai'an and Fan Zeyu outside the cell.

smiled and said: "I don't talk nonsense with a child of him, but Major General Fan!" When you interrogate other people, you ask them why they are treasonous, but why don't you ask when you come to me? ”

"If you're worried that I'm going to lie to you, you don't have to. But if you ask, I will answer you sincerely......"

I always feel that the other party is talking weirdly.

Xie Huai'an shook his sleeves, sure enough, there were too many mosquitoes in summer, and in such a dark cell, there were snakes, insects, rats and ants, so it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable!

I didn't notice that the nephew next to him had shown great discomfort, Fan Zeyu had worked with Director Ming for a while, and he had a considerable ability to resist this person's speech and behavior, and he would not be confused by his appearance.

Many years ago, Director Ming also accompanied the prince to study, and studied in the palace like Fan Zeyu.

When the master of the palace taught the prince, the prince did something wrong, and they could not punish the prince, so they could only use other reasons to punish the prince's companionship, hoping to achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Although the identity of the prince's companion is also very noble compared to others, it cannot be compared with the real dragon son and phoenix grandson.

Even Fan Zeyu, the only seedling Miao left by the Fan family in Kyoto, was once beaten in public by Master Taifu.

The prince who was followed by the director Ming died in the process of competing for the throne, but when he was studying in the palace, the fifth prince often made trouble, but because his mother was the emperor's favorite concubine, many of his behaviors in the eyes of the emperor can only be described as innocent, but in the eyes of Master Taifu, it is not like that.

In order to please the emperor, the five princes studied hard and practiced a set of swordsmanship, and later succeeded in standing out at the emperor's birthday banquet.

But people's energy is limited, and he spends most of his time practicing swordsmanship, and the homework assigned by Master Taifu on weekdays cannot be completed on time.

If the prince makes a mistake, Master Taifu can only punish the eunuchs who are waiting around them, as well as the companions who accompany them.

Whenever there was a problem with the homework of the five princes, the director would be called to the side by Master Taifu and slapped his palm with a wooden ruler.

During the period before the emperor's birthday banquet, his palms were not swollen.

People don't explode in silence, they perish in silence, and even more so for Director Ming.

I don't know how he did it, but under heavy guards, he brought croton and Menghan medicine to the palace.

He put the sweat medicine in Master Taifu's teacup, and let Master Taifu sleep for a whole day, and when he was about to close the palace door, he barely woke up from his sleep.

The croton was ground into powder by him and put in the sugar jar, and when the fifth prince ate cold melon, he especially liked to dip it in sugar, and he didn't have a fixed number when he ate, and he stuffed the things he liked to eat into his stomach, regardless of whether he could eat more or not.

The gray-bearded Master Taifu returned to his hometown because of old age, and the fifth prince who loved to eat melons almost ate himself because he had no control over eating, although after the imperial doctor came to prescribe medicine, he quickly returned to normal, but his reputation was not better.

In fact, at first, Fan Zeyu didn't connect the matter of Master Taifu falling asleep in the hall and the matter of the fifth prince's diarrhea with Director Ming, but he couldn't help but want to show off in front of him.

Even if he didn't want to know, he still knew it in the end.

"It is not impossible for you to call yourself a madman, do whatever you want, and suddenly give birth to the heart of collaborating with the enemy and treason." Fan Zeyu said lightly, "It's not a normal reason after all, it's not enough to be used as a reference, and it doesn't matter if you ask or not." ”

In Fan Zeyu's image, Director Ming is a person who will repay him.

And his methods of revenge have not changed since he was a child, and he always starts from other people's favorite places.

Master Taifu likes to speak with rules, and he doesn't allow students to sleep while he lectures, so he lets Master Taifu break his own rules.

The fifth prince set up an image that was loved by the emperor in front of everyone, and his hind feet became a guy who did not know moderation and was as stupid as a pig.

He knows best how to hit a snake at a distance of seven inches.

It is impossible to say that the person who offended him this time is a patriotic person who is loyal to his duties, so that he will have the intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Such a guess was just a spin in Fan Zeyu's mind, and it quickly disappeared.

He also knew how unreliable his guess was, but he also felt that Director Ming was indeed the one who could do such a thing.

Director Ming shook his head, Fan Zeyu said that he did what he wanted, and he saw Fan Zeyu as the one who did things as he pleased.

How can there be such a reason to draw conclusions based on a little impression of the past without asking the reason!

He leaned against the dark wall behind him, and he didn't care whether the clean clothes on his body were dirty, so he looked at Fan Zeyu so fixedly.

"Na! You can change me into a clean cell, and then find me a few changes of clothes, and I'll tell you the reason carefully, what do you think? ”

Previously, he also got the special treatment of not having to be tortured like this, but I don't know if Fan Zeyu will do what he wants this time.

He really wanted to remind the person in front of him!

But his reminder comes at a cost.

Xie Huai'an knew that his uncle deliberately asked those traitors why they chose treason, and wanted to try to prevent similar things from happening again.

Because there is nothing sadder than watching a hero degenerate step by step into a villain.

In the past, they were admired by thousands of people, but after that, they will only become the existence of thousands of spurns.

He looked up at Fan Zeyu, feeling that his uncle should not agree.

After all, Director Ming is very different from others, and he can't be inferred by general theory, and the reason for his betrayal doesn't seem to have much warning value.

Then he saw Fan Zeyu nodding.

It was probably because Fan Zeyu agreed too quickly, and he didn't even have time to think about it, so that Director Ming was stunned for a moment.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face again, as if he had won the battle.

I only heard Director Ming smile and said, "You should have asked a lot of people!" ”

"Some of them are for money, some for beauty, some for power, but there are also some people who, no matter how you ask them, will only admit their betrayal, but say nothing about the reason for their betrayal. For the sake of clean clothes, I'll give you some guidance! ”

He beckoned to Fan Zeyu, his eyes were full of cunning: "I'll only tell you alone!" So do you want to come to me? ”

Xie Huai'an rubbed his hands, it was obviously ten times in the middle of summer, but he felt a little cold inexplicably, and he shivered!

He looked around, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that the cells in the book were all ghostly places, and even if he came in with his uncle, and he didn't stay long, he already felt very uncomfortable.

"Uncle ......"

In Xie Huai'an's puzzled voice, Fan Zeyu took the key and opened the door of the cell where Director Ming was.

A crooked chain hung from the hidden cell, and a man in official uniform stood an arm's length away. If he moves faster, before the people outside can react, he can trap the defenseless person in front of him with chains, and threaten others with his life to let him out, which is not impossible.

A regretful look crossed over the chain, and Director Ming sighed at Fan Zeyu: "Not all betrayals are because of the temptation of interests, as well as threats and persecution, of course, repaying kindness must also be counted." ”

Suddenly, he said something without a head, and Xie Huai'an outside didn't hear what he said clearly, and only saw his uncle's back.

I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels that his uncle's figure stiffens for a moment.

Director Ming said: "You know that I am a person who will repay me, but this is not limited to hatred, kindness must also be counted in it. ”
