Chapter 121: Desire to Add Sin
Zhou Jingrong was thinking of Fu Yunshen, and sure enough, she heard Fu Yunshen's voice calling her urgently: "Rongrong, where are you?" ”
Zhou Jingrong was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly responded loudly: "Fu Yunshen, I'm here!" ”
Fu Yunshen soon heard the sound, he was dressed in an inky black power suit, his steps were hurried, his clothes were windy, and his eyes were full of eagerness and panic.
When he walked closer, his eyes swept around Zhou Jingrong's body worriedly, and he was relieved to see that she was unhindered, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he picked up his sword and slashed at the iron lock.
Fu Yunshen's sword, which he was usually reluctant to use, was worthy of being a famous sword in Kyoto, sharpening iron like clay, and he only cut it a few times, and then cut off the huge iron lock.
Fu Yunshen dragged open the cell door, protected Zhou Jingrong in his arms, and hurriedly escaped from the fire with her.
The smoke was thick and the heat wave was rolling, and Zhou Jingrong didn't have time to ask why Fu Yunshen appeared here, whether it was a coincidence or an intention.
However, when the two escaped from the prison together, she didn't need to ask, and she understood what was going on.
As soon as the two men appeared, several officers and soldiers with halberd blades stepped forward in unison and surrounded the two.
Through the heavy surrounding, Zhou Jingrong saw a sneer on the five princes who were surrounded by everyone in the center.
But at this time, naturally there was no need for the five princes to come forward, Jing Zhaoyin took the lead and shouted: "Fu Yunshen, you robbed the prison late at night and burned the prison of the Beijing Mansion, and your crime should be punished, take it!" ”
A group of officers and soldiers rushed forward, cut Fu Yunshen and Zhou Jingrong together, and escorted them to the direction of the front hall.
Fu Yunshen did come to visit the Beijing prison at night, and he was afraid that Zhou Jingrong would be wronged, so he wanted to come and see her. But when he came here, there was already a fire, and he was worried about Zhou Jingrong, so he ran into the fire to save people regardless of his safety.
But it turned out that all this was a ploy of the five princes.
He knew that Fu Yunshen would come, so he sent someone to burn down the prison, and according to Fu Yunshen's feelings for Zhou Jingrong, he would definitely go into the fire to save people. When the two escaped from the prison together, they waited for the rabbit, and in full view of everyone, Fu Yunshen's charge of arson and robbery was confirmed.
Fu Yunshen's robbery of prison will be investigated, and Zhou Jingrong's leakage of exam questions can also be confirmed.
Because if Zhou Jingrong was innocent, Fu Yunshen would not need to rob the prison at all, and since he did this kind of ruinous thing, he could confirm Zhou Jingrong's guilt from the side.
Fu Yunshen's face was tight, his eyes were dark, and his clenched fists silently told the indignation in his heart. Zhou Jingrong's heart sank, and she also had a bad premonition.
The two were escorted to the Yamen Hall of the Beijing Mansion, where the trial was held that night to hold Fu Yunshen accountable for his robbery and Zhou Jingrong's question.
Fu Yunshen pleaded not guilty, but his robbery was seen by everyone, and he was tortured just as he was quibbling.
When Fu Yunshen was tortured, Zhou Jingrong was taken to the next door to the torture room.
Zhou Jingrong didn't hear Fu Yunshen's cry of pain, he was already a tolerant person, and he was so proud, even in this situation, he would not allow himself to show his embarrassed side.
But she could hear the sound of the board lapping against the flesh, one by one, and her heart fluttered with each sound.
It was as if the board did not hit Fu Yunshen's body, but hit Zhou Jingrong's heart, and she couldn't help herself with pain, and she was drenched in blood.
Pei Yu playfully looked at Zhou Jingrong, who was pale but tried his best to forbear, and slowly induced: "Madame, is she distressed?" As long as Madame is willing to confess her sins, he will not suffer, and this palace will do its best to protect you. ”
After he said that, he waved his hand, and someone put a piece of paper full of words and pen and ink in front of Zhou Jingrong.
It was a confession, the content had already been written, and it was only necessary for Zhou Jingrong to sign and draw it.
Zhou Jingrong glanced at the content of the confession, to the effect that Zhou Jingrong used comics to leak the exam questions, and the source of the leak questions vaguely mentioned the prince, and the students who got the exam questions in advance were people who were favored by the prince in the past.
Although there is no mention that this matter is directly related to the prince, it is this kind of plausible clues that makes people even more suspicious.
Zhou Jing trembled with anger, isn't this just a clear frame-up, and then bent into a trick?
It turns out that this is Pei Yu's real purpose, directly praising them, may not be able to pry their mouths open, but what if they are tortured to the people they care about?
He designed to arrest Fu Yunshen, and then used the feelings between the husband and wife to coerce each other to force them to admit their guilt.
According to Zhou Jingrong's jealous and hateful nature, even in the face of power, she will never compromise, she also has her own pride and bottom line.
But at this moment, she listened to the sound of beating from next door, and her heart was in turmoil, and she was thinking about whether to confess her guilt, so as not to suffer Fu Yunshen again.
It hurts on his body, but it's her heart that is ripped!
But reason told her that not admitting guilt was only a temporary suffering, but if she confessed her guilt, the implication would be widespread, not to mention the endless troubles, their husband and wife would bear the brunt of it, and they might not even be able to save their lives, Pei Yu's guarantee was not credible at all.
Zhou Jingrong's face was gray, without a trace of blood, he stubbornly picked at the brick cracks on the ground, his nails were broken and bleeding without noticing, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." ”
Pei Yu didn't expect Zhou Jingrong's heart to be so tenacious, he also thought that this boudoir woman would be frightened when she saw the punishment, and she didn't let anyone handle it?
He couldn't help but lift his lips and sneered: "Heh, as the saying goes, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and Mrs. is really ruthless." ”
It means that Zhou Jingrong didn't care about Fu Yunshen's life and death, which made Zhou Jingrong's heart ache.
Pei Yu's eyes were full of murderous aura, and the official stepped forward to fork Zhou Jingrong and pressed her on the torture bench.
Zhou Jingrong's heart sank, it seemed that they were going to torture her and threaten Fu Yunshen again.
Zhou Jingrong was pressed to lie on the torture bench, gritting her teeth, thinking that no matter how painful it was, she would never be able to make a sound, so as not to worry Fu Yunshen.
But before the board held by the official fell, someone walked in and said to Pei Yu: "Your Highness, he has recruited." ”
Zhou Jingrong was startled, raised his head suddenly, and happened to meet Pei Yu's satisfied and sneering smile.
Zhou Jingrong's eyes were full of surprise, she felt that with Fu Yunshen's heart, it was impossible to bend into a move. But not long after, someone came in again and presented Pei Yu with a confession.
Unlike Pei Yu's confession to Zhou Jingrong, which only needs to be signed and detained, Fu Yunshen's confession was written by himself, taking all the blame alone, although it still implicated the prince vaguely, but Zhou Jingrong was left out.
Pei Yu pretended to sigh: "Tsk, your husband is an infatuated person, it's a pity." I don't know how he would feel if he knew that his wife, who was desperately trying to protect, didn't care about his safety at all. ”
Zhou Jingrong looked at the piece of paper in Pei Yu's hand, and although she couldn't see the content clearly, she saw that the blood stains soaked through the back of the paper.
She knew that Fu Yunshen did this to protect her, and tears fell unexpectedly.
She has no expression, no voice, but two lines of tears, rolling and falling, which is moving.
Pei Yu was untouched and got up to leave.
Because Pei Yu said that he would be tortured in person, Jing Zhaoyin waited outside, and when he saw Pei Yu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, how is it?" ”
The attendant behind Pei Yu handed Fu Yunshen's confession to Jing Zhaoyin, and Jing Zhaoyin's face was happy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the five princes made a move, they made the prisoner confess his guilt, and it was also a credit to solve the case in such a short period of time.
Zhou Jingrong was put back into the cell, and Fu Yunshen was locked up with her.
Fu Yunshen has suffered from 20 boards, which is not much, but it is a real board to the meat, and it is inevitable that the skin will open and the flesh will bloom. He was carried back and thrown directly on the cold ground.
Zhou Jingrong's heart was suffocated, and he nervously rushed to Fu Yunshen's side, but saw that his face was flushed, and he had already started a high fever.
In fact, for Fu Yunshen, who is physically fit, the 20th board is nothing. But Pei Yu was ruthless, and smeared the secret medicine on the board, so that after he was injured, the secret medicine soaked into the texture of the wound, which not only made the wound difficult to heal, but also painful like a needle prick, and also caused fever.
Zhou Jingrong was frightened, lying by the door and shouting for help, wanting people to help find a doctor, no matter how bad it is, it would be good to get some medicine.
But no one paid any attention to her, the whole cell was empty, the candlelight flickered strangely, and there was a quiet dead silence, as if it were just the two of them.
Zhou Jingrong couldn't, so she had to return to take care of Fu Yunshen.
She could not hold him, so she could only take the hay and spread it under him, and then turn him over so that he would lie in her bosom so that he would not touch the wound.
Fu Yunshen reluctantly opened his eyes, and comforted her in a weak voice: "Rongrong, don't be afraid, I'm fine." ”
Zhou Jingrong's heart was originally very strong, but when she heard Fu Yunshen comforting herself, she collapsed instantly, tears rolled down, and she cried silently.
Fu Yunshen was distressed, the two had been in love since then, how could he ever see her cry.
He wanted to help her wipe away her tears, but his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms, so he could only coax him urgently: "Rongrong, don't cry, I will feel distressed." ”
Zhou Jingrong leaned down, buried his face on his shoulder and rubbed it, and said sullenly: "Fu Yunshen, I'm sorry, why are you so stupid!" ”
Fu Yunshen's brain was dizzy, and he wanted to appease Zhou Jingrong, but he was weak and confused, so he only said one sentence over and over again: "Rongrong, don't be afraid, we will be fine." ”
Zhou Jingrong didn't know what would happen tomorrow, but at least the current situation was not optimistic.
Fu Yun was deeply injured and had a high fever, she didn't know if he could get through it.
Helplessly, there was no fever medicine at this time, and she didn't feel at ease to put him on the ground, so she could only reach out and touch the cold and damp wall, and when the palm of her hand was cold, she put it on his forehead to help him reduce his fever.
She was about to ask every once in a while: "Fu Yunshen, how are you, you can talk to me!" ”
She was afraid that Fu Yunshen would fall asleep and wouldn't wake up, so she kept talking to him and chattering about various things.
What happened in the past, the affairs of his family, and the origin of his identity were revealed, and he asked him to respond while talking.
Fu Yunshen occasionally responded in a daze, and he didn't know if he was awake or unconscious, whether he heard it or not.
