Chapter 67: The Canary

In Qinyuan, Heng Yuanjun was reviewing the game of chess he and Bai Ling had played in the Shen Penal Division alone.

There was no doubt that Boling lost, but not much, and played beautifully.

This shows how much her chess skills have improved in the past month or so...... Although, it is still far from the point where Tian Yuan can defeat him in the first step.

Under the lamp, he suddenly remembered Bai Ling's sentence, "It's always better to die neatly than to live like Heng Yuanjun, isn't it?" ”

Heng Yuanjun held the chess pieces and scratched his head slightly.

…… How I feel hated again.

It seems that no matter whether he is hot or cold, tough or soft, people like Bai Ling will always be indifferent to the olive branch he has extended to him.

Why.

There was a sound of the door opening outside, and after a while, Han Chong strode in.

During this time, he basically only appeared at night - because theoretically, Han Chong was still chasing Wei Shixi's whereabouts in the field, and he should not appear in Pingjing City.

He was indeed very concerned about Wei Shixi's whereabouts, but Heng Yuanjun summoned him back with a letter, and he could only come back.

"Someone has been sent to follow." Han Chong said softly, "The condition of the Bai family's father and son is fine now. ”

"Hmm." Heng Yuanjun nodded, "Okay." ”

"When is Ming Gong going to do it?"

“…… What hands? ”

"Kill the Bai family father and son." Han Chong replied a little hesitantly, he looked at Heng Yuanjun, "...... Didn't Ming Gong personally say it to Bai Ling this morning? ”

Heng Yuanjun was still looking at the chess game, "When did I say that I wanted to kill them." ”

Han Chong thought for a moment, "You asked Bai Ling if she wanted her father and brother to die as happily. ”

Heng Yuanjun nodded again, he raised his eyes and glanced at Han Chong, "What is the benefit to us if we kill them?" ”

Han Chong was a little unsure, "...... Let Bai Ling be obedient. ”

"If everyone is dead, how can they make Bai Ling obedient."

Han Chong frowned, "That Ming Gong...... Do you want to let the little emperor do it later, so as to further separate the relationship between him and Bai Ling? ”

"The little emperor won't do it," Heng Yuanjun said softly, "What the two doctors of the Bai family have done in Pingjing Hetai Hospital over the years is obvious to all, no matter whether they go to Jiangzhou or go to other places in the future, as long as they don't return to Pingjing, it will be beneficial and harmless."

"So when they leave Pingjing, Bai Shijun and Bai Yi will be safe." Heng Yuanjun smiled lightly, "Why did Bai Ling dare to do something to the emperor...... She was nothing more than a bet that the emperor would not continue to act rashly in this matter. ”

Hengyuanjun began to clean up the chess pieces on the chessboard.

He lowered his eyes and said, "...... Looks like Boling was right. ”

"Then why did Ming Gong send someone to keep an eye on the Bai family's father and son?" Han Chong Yifa couldn't figure it out, "...... Isn't it to keep them safe? ”

"Lord Han can't figure it out?" Heng Yuanjun smiled, "Think about it again?" ”

Han Chong thought for a long time before he reluctantly spoke, "...... Should I understand? ”

Heng Yuanjun stood up with his hands on the ground, he sat in the room for too long and felt a little dull.

"Didn't you always want to catch Wei XIV?" Heng Yuanjun said in a low voice, "Bai Ling died last month, and this month the Bai family's father and son were imprisoned...... Wei Shixi has been recuperating from his injuries for almost a month, do you think he will stand idly by? ”

Han Chong finally suddenly realized, he opened his mouth slightly-Ming Gong's eyes were really ...... It's so sharp!

"I don't really have much interest in Wei Fourteen." Heng Yuanjun's voice was low, "It's just to see that Lord Han is obsessed with this, so I'll send a few favors......

"I know that there are some things, if you don't do it yourself, you will always have obsessions," Heng Yuanjun clasped his hands and put them in his sleeves, "but obsessions, sometimes they can also blind people's eyes and make them forget what they originally wanted." ”

Heng Yuanjun walked up to Han Chong and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Lord Han be careful yourself."

Heng Yuanjun pushed the door and was about to go out, Han Chong was puzzled for a moment, he turned around, "...... Is Ming Gong trying to persuade me to stop? ”

"No, I'm just talking about a little bit of my own feelings."

Heng Yuanjun looked sideways and turned his face about a minute or two, "Whatever Lord Han wants to do, just do it, I don't have any opinion." ”

……

I don't know how much time has passed since then.

In the Punishment Division, Bai Ling often heard screams from the upper floors.

I don't know why in the palace, there will always be palace people who make big mistakes. They were charged with all sorts of crimes for trivial matters, sent to the Criminal Division, and then lost their lives in agony.

Bai Ling suddenly remembered that she had heard Bao Yuan say that exiled prisoners would leave after fifteen, and those who were to be beheaded would have to wait until the first month.

It was difficult to know exactly when the underground prison was in place, and whenever a jailer came to deliver two meals, Bai Ling would take the box of lipstick and draw a bar on the wall.

On this day, Bai Ling woke up—but the jailer who had come to deliver breakfast had not yet arrived.

She counted the days, and today was the first day of February.

She waited quietly in the dark, and soon the jailer finally arrived—this morning's meal was extraordinarily rich, not to mention the rice that didn't taste the slightest, and there were good-looking sauced duck and greens.

Bai Ling chewed heavily, and the jailer on the side looked at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "...... Eat slowly? ”

She didn't hear it, put the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and before she could say more, someone covered her head with a black cloth bag from behind.

Along the way, Bai Ling was chained hand and foot, and some stumbling was dragged forward, and she felt as if she had been pushed into a prisoner's cart and then taken to a room full of people on all sides.

There were sobs everywhere, some of which belonged to children, and some of which belonged to young girls.

After about half an hour in this house, through the black cloth bag, Bai Ling still suddenly felt a bright light—someone suddenly opened the door of the room.

The person who came had been whispering something, Bai Ling pricked up her ears, the other party seemed to be speaking some kind of dialect, she could hear clearly, but she couldn't understand it.

After a while, everyone in this room was taken out again.

The shackles of all the men were removed, and in their place were rough hemp ropes, a rope that held about twenty or so men, and if anyone tried to run, they were immediately pulled down and smashed into pieces, and then a series of whips and shouts fell down on their heads.

The crowd finally stopped.

Some brawny men began to remove their hoods from everyone's faces.

For a moment, Bai Ling couldn't open her eyes, she covered her eyes for a while, and finally saw the scene in front of her.

In front of and behind her were a group of young women with their heads dirty, and their clothes were dressed in expensive fabrics, but they were torn and oil-stained...... Even the blood stains have long since lost their original brilliance.

Bai Ling looked up into the distance.

Ahead, the golden silk cage of the Hundred Flowers, the dome of the main building that she had passed by many times and had stopped to watch, was shining brightly under the gloomy sky of the early morning.
