Chapter 202: Suppression
"Xia Ting!"
When Xia Ting's consciousness gradually recovered, the first thing he smelled was the familiar damp and moldy smell of the dungeon. When she opened her eyes and saw the broken beams and cobwebs in front of her, there was no wave in her heart. She seems to have gotten used to it.
She raised her hand and tried to touch her forehead, the temperature was much more normal, except for the weakness of the beginning of the serious illness, there was no problem in her body, and her strength was slowly recovering. During the time she was unconscious, she seemed to have been cared for.
There is a lot less noise around it, and it seems to be a separate space...... Under the emperor's order, the treatment was really different. Xia Ting smiled bitterly silently.
Xia Ting struggled to get up, walked to the side of the cage, patted the heavy and solid door a few times, and after seeing the expressions of the officers and soldiers, Xia Ting smiled lightly: "I have something to look for your lord." ”
She provided the clue of Widow Zhang, and it is estimated that the power of this part of the military department will soon be in his hands, and it is reasonable that she should be let go.
The officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a minute." ”
Xia Ting nodded, seeing that their attitude towards her was much softer than before, and she had a certain grasp of her situation.
Xia Ting glanced at what she was wearing, it was still the original clothes, and now it was already dirty, she simply sat on the ground, and now there was no need to be informal.
Footsteps from far and near, "Didn't you say that there will be no intersection again?" ”
Before Xia Ting could raise his head, he felt the burning gaze above his head, this man ...... I still have a grudge.
"It's not supposed to intersect. But now they are all doing things for the emperor, and they are helpless. Our intersection is also limited to business. "One yard to one yard, the words still have to be said like that, and the meaning is still the same.
"Heh, aren't you afraid that I will expose your conspiracy?"
Xia Ting raised his head, and there was no wave in his heart: "You are not like this, killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred. ”
Su Feng turned his face away, "Say, what are you looking for me?" Xia Ting guessed very right, his mind was very clear, and he could always pinch his weaknesses.
"How long do I have to get out?"
"It's hard to say. The emperor still has a wait-and-see attitude, and without his instructions, it is difficult for me to start. However, it shouldn't be too late. ”
"I provided clues about Widow Zhang, so I should be able to find a lot of discoveries, right?" Xia Ting asked tentatively.
Su Feng smiled: "Indeed." ”
Xia Ting's fingers moved a few times, "Then can you find someone to tell Qiu Ye and Uncle about my situation?" I've been in for a day and a night, and there's been no news, so they should be worried. ”
Xia Ting was gambling, betting on their past friendships and the value of the clues she provided.
Su Feng looked at her coldly: "You came to me for this?" ”
Xia Ting looked at him and didn't speak, glanced at Su Feng a few times and lowered his eyes, and acquiesced.
Su Feng's eyes flashed with a treacherous look, and then he regained his composure, he flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Xia Ting, leaving a sentence: "I will tell Si Zhan." Also, the eldest brother and the second brother have come to Beijing. ”
Xia Ting was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and then turned his gaze away with a thoughtful expression.
After a long time, Xia Ting covered his face, brushed his hair back, and let out a long breath. Hopefully, the situation won't be any messier after that.
I wonder if the eldest brother will think about it if he knows her current situation? Wait a minute!
Xia Ting suddenly straightened his back, Su Feng just said the eldest brother and the second brother? Big Brother is back?!!
Xia Ting covered his mouth and hid his irrepressible smile, great, return safely. She has a big stone in her heart, and she can let go of the big stone in her heart.
The emperor only punished her slightly, Su Feng was the person around her, guessing that the emperor's mind was quite accurate, Xia Ting stayed in the cell of the independent space for a few days, and almost raised his body, and finally saw the light of day again.
Xia Ting stretched out his hand and stretched out to the place of the sun, feeling the long-lost warmth of the sunlight between his fingers, and having a feeling of rebirth, like a plant after many days of continuous rain, the sun that bloomed at that moment shone down, and the dark corners of his heart were digested.
When I was exposed to the sun, I could see the blood vessels between my fingers clearly, but it was a little sickly. Xia Ting felt that she might be able to have Sister Lin's temperament at this time.
"Kiosk. Uncle is here! ”
Xia Ting looked at the source of the sound and saw Si Zhan smiling and opening his arms to her, his face was peaceful, but there was a lot of stubble on his face, it seemed that these days, they were not much better outside.
Xia Ting jogged over and hugged Si Zhan back.
Si Zhan gently pinched her face, her eyes flashing with distress, "Thin." Suffered. ”
She shook her head, "I'm fine. However, I seem to have caused you trouble. "Anyway, she indirectly strengthened the power on Su Feng's side.
I don't know if this can still maintain a good balance? Will it disrupt their original rhythm. Xia Ting blamed himself.
"Not really. These things are inherently ever-changing, and how can we not even be prepared for them. Besides, we don't have nothing to gain from anything. Si Zhan patted her on the head and helped her into the carriage.
Xia Ting looked at him with shining eyes in the car, and after confirming in his gentle and affirmative eyes, Xia Ting smiled brightly.
These days, the four walls of the road have long lost the sense of color visually, and now when I see so many bright colors, ordinary objects look cute. While the carriage was walking, Xia Ting was reluctant to put down the curtains for a moment, and she couldn't wait to stick her eyes to the world of flowers outside.
In a patch of color, Xia Ting's sharp eyes found a familiar color in a corner, and when Xia Ting looked up, he only saw its back.
Xia Ting's eyes froze, as if ...... Probably not. At this time, Su Feng has said everything he should have said, and he shouldn't be able to go back to the beginning.
Suddenly, Xia Ting felt bored, hastily lowered the curtains, and touched the earrings.
They returned to the Sifu, and Qiu Ye was already there. Seeing them returning, he immediately put down the teacup and walked to the carriage to help Xia Ting get off.
"No, I can do it myself." Xia Ting rejected his kindness and went down to find a place by himself.
Qiu Ye withdrew his empty hand, didn't know what to think, and slowly followed the two of them in.
"It's inconvenient to say outside just now, but now it's safe, uncle, do we have any new discoveries this time?" Xia Ting was concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of War, and as soon as she closed the door, she couldn't wait to ask.
Si Zhan smiled mysteriously and looked at Qiu Ye, "There are still more tricks in this kid's stomach, he heard what you said that night, so he went down the line, Widow Zhang, they were not wiped out back then, and there are indeed more parties, and they agreed to cooperate with us." ”
Xia Ting frowned, "They're not sinners?" ”
Si Zhan's smile faded, "We are also criminals. This crime has always been the responsibility of the higher-up. ”
"I see." Xia Ting reflected, it was her problem, Widow Zhang gave her a really bad impression, so that she didn't have much of a good impression of her family, probably a stereotype.
Xia Ting felt that something was not right, "Is it reliable?" I remember...... "Su Bong also got what he got over there, right?" Otherwise, how did she get out?
Si Zhan's index finger wearing a ring tapped on the table and looked at Qiu Ye.
"The other side is to drive them out, and we are to keep them. Can it be unreliable? Of course, we also have a hand, rest assured. Qiu Ye had already thought of this, was ready, and his answer was convincing.
"By the way, I arranged for a doctor, you must have suffered these days, let him see, and then rest well and make up for it." Qiu Ye suddenly remembered something and said.
Before Xia Ting could react, he had already called someone in, and there was no surprise in Si Zhan's eyes, it seemed that it was okay.
She remembered that she had eaten the emperor's poison some time ago, and in order not to arouse suspicion, she hadn't taken the antidote pill yet, I don't know......
"Don't!" Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, she realized that she was too eager, and immediately added: "I mean, I'm fine, I'm actually quite fine inside." I still have value to use, and they won't let me have anything to do. ”
Si Zhan shook his head disapprovingly: "Don't underestimate the emperor's means. He has a million ways to destroy you after draining you of all your value. Of course, not only you, but even the celebrities around him will be like this. Speaking of the back, Si Zhan's smile was sarcastic. It's like satirizing the Si family back then, and it's also satirizing the people of the present.
"Then what is the situation of the Zhang family now?" Xia Ting felt that the topic was crooked, and immediately pulled it back.
"It's completely over."
Therefore, they are the people who brought down the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and secretly found the people of Widow Zhang's family...... Both sides benefit, but it is probably the power of the military that is more important.
"Is there anything unique about Widow Zhang's family?" Xia Ting was a little embarrassed to speak, the surname of this military department is Zhang, and the surname of Widow Zhang and their family is also surnamed Zhang, should there be any bloody connection? Xia Ting hurriedly pressed the soul of the gossip, it was still an important matter.
Qiu Ye's hand rubbed on his mouth, and his eyes narrowed, "There is a very mysterious small country on the northern border of our country, and the population on their side is sparse, but we have not been able to capture it for many years, and they have ...... Witchcraft and poison. Extremely vicious, mostly deadly. And they are the descendants of these people. ”
"The widow...... I don't think I've seen it? "If she could, it would probably have come in handy when they were fighting.
Si Zhan ruffled her hair like a child, "You think this is a rotten street thing?" This thing is so mysterious, of course, it is passed down from one line to another, how can any side branch or concubine know that it has no authority and increases the risk of outflow. ”
Xia Ting scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, she felt that she had been trapped for a few days, and even her head was worn. Obviously, she also kept thinking in it.
"Interestingly, though...... The Xiao family is likely to be a dark horse. Qiu Ye said coldly.
