The man in rags was the coachman.

The coachman looked thinner and weaker than before, less energetic, and full of decadence.

"Girl, childe." The coachman looked at the two of them and barely squeezed out a smile, "Do you remember me, the one who pulled the car for you ten days ago." ”

Xia Zhixue nodded yes, and her eyes carefully looked at the coachman.

The coachman has a lot of bruises on his body, and his skin is also frost-cracked, and he seems to have been treated inhumanely these days, but these marks are too deliberate.

She and Ouyang Huaiyu exchanged a look, this Loulan Emperor's purpose of coming to the two of them was not pure.

Emperor Loulan saw that the two of them were looking at each other, and coughed twice and spoke: "You two have no grievances with the coachman, why do you treat him so inhumanely?" ”

After a question, the two were silent.

Since he is innocent, he has nothing to answer.

After a long time, Emperor Loulan's face turned pale: "What does this mean by not speaking, is it really that there is no one in my small country of Loulan?" If I find the proof, the two of you will be done. ”

A coachman is not enough to constitute evidence, and Emperor Loulan really has the meaning of blowing up their horses' feet when he says this.

Ouyang Huaiyu's heart was at a fork, looking at the coachman's respectful look, puzzlement flashed between his eyebrows: "What does the injury on your body have to do with me?" ”

The question that seems to be true or false, as soon as he hears it, he understands that he doesn't know anything.

The coachman's drooping eyes flashed with some confusion, and he was hesitating how to speak, when a light cough around him calmed him.

The hesitation in his eyes turned into firmness: "Childe, I know that you are in a high position, but you can't oppress us ordinary people like this." Not long ago, when you came to take the car, I said plainly, three taels of silver, but you stretched out your hand and gave me three cents. ”

"I sent you both from outside the city to the middle of the city, and this little money should really be sent to Hanako? At that time, I saw that you were arrogant, it was not good to ask for money, and on the way back to the house, I muttered a little, but halfway I met someone to help me fight to death, a man and a woman I really saw, it is your appearance, isn't it that you are a thief? ”

The coachman's tone was twisted, and a big man was afraid to add a little crying when he spoke. But I didn't necessarily feel pity, but I was a little squeamish.

Ouyang Huaiyu listened to the coachman talk about his experience, and he didn't need to think about it, he knew that he was making it up as soon as he heard it.

In the evening, he and Xia Zhixue were meeting with the emperor, unless they gave birth to a few clones, they had the ability to beat the coachman down.

This lie is not technical at all.

Emperor Loulan is estimated to be a lack of heart, and it is reasonable to leave these small cases to the officials to deal with, but now he wants to make trouble in the palace, not to mention that this confession is not right as soon as he hears it.

There was a bit of concern in his eyes, and the only explanation for this was that the emperor and the coachman had colluded and deliberately came to mess with them.

There are not only many people here in Loulan, but people's minds are also deep enough.

"Since you said that, I don't have anything to refute." Ouyang Huaiyu said in surprise.

Next to him, Xia Zhixue saw his agreement and agreed: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, we really have nothing to deny, the only thing is to hope that Your Majesty can send a letter to our emperor to explain our whereabouts." ”

Her tone was equally earnest, with a hint of fear, as if she was full of fear of the gloomy prison.

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, the coachman was so confused that he couldn't say a word, his face was red, and his breath trembled. Today's Literature Network

When the "Emperor's ......" panicked, the coachman called Emperor Loulan.

Emperor Loulan also didn't come to his senses, and looked up at Xia Zhixue's eyes, with a flash of banter.

He was stunned for a moment, could it be that he was wrong......

Things have developed to this point, no matter what Emperor Loulan says again, it seems false, and he can only push the boat down the river and go further.

"Now that you two have confessed to your sins, that's how it is." Emperor Loulan said, "You are not subjects of your own country, and you are only a first-time offender, and I can't bear to say anything serious, so three days of confinement are enough." ”

Emperor Loulan pretended to be generous, but he had no bottom in his heart, for fear that one of the smart people Xia Zhixue or Ouyang Huaiyu would come out and say a few more words.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu surprisingly didn't speak again, and returned to the small courtyard under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, and were locked up.

Although it was closed, the emperor did not interfere much with the two residences, but only sent a few guards to symbolically block the door, and the rest were the same.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu didn't know how much had changed outside, but they had a faint premonition that the emperor had increased the number of secret guards by another batch.

The feeling of being stared at was everywhere, and the two of them could only feel the chill rising from the soles of their feet as they sat in the room.

So the two simply omitted the step of communication, and wrote directly on the table with the water, leaving no trace after the words were dry.

"What do you think Emperor Loulan is having?" Xia Zhixue dipped water on the table and wrote these words.

Ouyang Huaiyu looked at it, and his face remained unchanged. After a while, he started writing on the table: "He may want to appear in a play so that we can be moved." ”

Such tactics are not uncommon. When the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne. In order to consolidate the future position of their heirs, some emperors would always select some capable ministers to send them to the frontier first, and then recall them when the new emperor ascended the throne.

The officials who were suddenly valued were very pleased with the emperor's insight, and most of them would choose to be loyal for the rest of their lives.

Although Emperor Loulan did not achieve this point, he followed this practice and suddenly helped the two when they were embarrassed, and he would definitely be able to get attention.

In this way, he had the opportunity to learn something that was not well known.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu both figured out this matter, and they didn't feel anything on their faces, and they judged Emperor Loulan's so-called strategy in their hearts.

If he was looking for some stupid people, his goal would definitely be accomplished, but what kind of people were Ouyang Huaiyu and Xia Zhixue.

The two of them are used to seeing strong winds and waves, so they won't be panicked by such a trivial matter.

Emperor Loulan did everything well this time, but he only undercounted people's hearts and people's resilience.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu can bend and stretch, and they must not be canaries that he can hold in his hands.

This plan, which has not yet been carried out, is doomed to failure.

Three days later, Ouyang Huaiyu and Xia Zhixue were lifted.

Emperor Loulan summoned them as soon as possible, so he was afraid that he had missed something important.

The place where the two of them were summoned this time was in the main hall, and the coachman was also present, so he was less calm and relaxed, and if he looked closely, his hands were trembling.

"Two ......" Emperor Loulan looked at Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu, with a thick apology in his tone.
