Chapter 677: Flogging

She picked up a piece in disbelief, looked left and right, and recognized that it was one of the talismans of the Shenwu Battalion.

She poured all the talismans on the ground, and there were even talismans of the Imperial City Praetorian Guards inside!

It's been more than two years since she came to Chang'an, and she knows how valuable these things are!

Xiao Tingchen actually ......

It's all hidden here!

What the hell is he going to do?!

Su Jiu hurriedly locked the small closet, picked up his skirt, and Huo Ran ran outside.

Bai Lu came over with hot tea and hurriedly grabbed her arm, "It's going to rain soon, where is Miss going?!" ”

"Dali Temple!"

Su was in a hurry.

Bai Lu refused to let go, frowned and said, "The master has just been imprisoned, and I don't expect anything to happen." The young lady should eat some food first and then visit, and when you are done, maybe the rainstorm has already fallen, and the road will be easier to walk. ”

Su Jiu touched his hungry stomach, remembered something, and hurried to the small kitchen.

Frost was still boiling soup, and she sent it to the side.

Su Jiu rolled up his wide sleeves, personally made three dishes and one soup and put them in the food box, and advised: "I will go to Dali Temple to visit him, you two guard here, if anyone from the court comes, don't let them step into the dormitory." ”

Bai Lu couldn't stop her, so she had to say: "This small courtyard was later succeeded by the master to Princess Luo's head. Everyone knows that Princess Luo has a good relationship with you, you live here, others will not be suspicious, and the court will not come to search the courtyard. ”

"That's good." Su Jiu nodded and left the small courtyard without hesitation.

Dali Temple Prison.

Xiao Tingchen was held in a water prison.

In the dim light, he wore a tooth-white shirt, his lower body was soaked in dirty cold water, and his limbs were fixed in the middle of the pool with heavy chains, and he could not move at all.

Rong Zheng stood by the pool with his hands in his hands.

Across the water, he smiled, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the old saying is not unreasonable." When Brother Huai Jin was in the limelight, he probably didn't think that one day it would fall into my hands, right? ”

Xiao Tingchen looked up and smiled.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, the peach blossom eyes are full of boundless spring, and they are beautiful in the dim light and shadow.

He said casually: "The skills are not as good as others, and I am willing to bow to the wind." ”

Rong Zheng stared at him, refusing to let go of any subtle expression on his face.

But from Xiao Tingchen's face, he couldn't capture any anxious and scared emotions at all.

Could it be that Xiao Tingchen still has a back hand?

He raised his eyebrows, "Brother Huaijin, you have committed a lot of crimes, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no possibility of overturning the case at all." If you are still expecting someone to save you, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled.

Rong Zheng's eyes darkened.

He concluded that Xiao Tingchen had a back hand.

The man was born from the side of his guts, but he had a businesslike expression, "The emperor has an order to thoroughly investigate all the crimes you have committed." The judge has already drafted a letter of charge, as long as you sign it, the emperor is merciful and will give you a good time. Otherwise......"

Behind him, the judge of Dali Temple held the indictment in his hand and began to read it aloud one by one.

Xiao Tingchen interrupted him with a low chuckle, "These things are all framed by others, I don't admit it." ”

"Framed?!" Rong Zheng said coldly, "You canonized yourself as the regent without authorization, and you have the Son of Heaven to testify, you can't be framed, right?" ”

"At that time, the emperor was weak and spoke in a very small voice, and it was indeed me who accidentally misheard. Those who don't know are not guilty, and based on this alone, I'm afraid that Lord Rong will not be able to convict me. ”

Rong Zheng was about to be laughed at by him!

He stroked his wide sleeves, his eyes were full of interest, "Xiao Tingchen, do you know what will happen if it falls into my hands?" Come. ”

The jailer immediately took the whip.

The whip, soaked in salt water, covered with tiny barbs, was terrifying to look at.

Rong Zheng smiled, "Hit." ”

A jailer activated the mechanism, the chains were slowly closed, and Xiao Tingchen's body was suspended and fixed in large characters.

Another jailer with a tiger's back walked to the middle of the pool and waved his whip at Xiao Tingchen without hesitation!

A whip goes down, and the skin opens and the flesh blooms!

The jailer obviously often tortured people, and his techniques were skillful, but in just half an hour, Xiao Tingchen had already been hurt a lot, but he had not been injured to the point, so that he would not faint or die.

Xiao Tingchen endured the pain and didn't even snort!

Rong Zheng smiled gently, "Thanks to Brother Huaijin, after the scientific expedition that year, I was demoted to Dali Temple by the emperor. I am familiar with everything here, especially the eighteen kinds of torture in this water prison. How, is Brother Huai Jin willing to confess? Or do you want to suffer more? ”

"Hah...... Hahaha......"

Xiao Tingchen laughed.

He slowly raised his head, his peach blossom eyes were bloodshot, excited and terrifying, "I have suffered a torture that is thousands of times more painful than this, and a little punishment in Dali Temple is nothing?!" ”

His skin was open, the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and when he laughed in the dim light and shadow, he was full of demonic energy.

Rong Zheng stared at him.

No one has ever been whipped from the cell of Dali Temple and can still laugh.

He knew that Xiao Tingchen was extremely ruthless when dealing with others.

But in fact, Xiao Tingchen is even more ruthless to himself!

To be able to climb to the throne of the regent in just two years, this man's temperament is really terrifying.

He can't let this man leave Dali Temple alive, otherwise he will let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!

Rong Zheng's eyes were surging with murderous intent, and he was about to order water torture, when suddenly a jailer hurriedly came in to report, "Lord Rong, a girl who calls herself Su Jiu is waiting outside, saying that she wants to send something to Xiao Tingchen." ”

Rong Zheng's face changed, and he glanced at Xiao Tingchen, "Sister Su is really kind-hearted, you treated her so viciously, but she still misses you......"

Xiao Tingchen licked the blood at the corner of his lips viciously, "Are you jealous? ”

"What is there to be jealous of those who are about to die?" Rong Zheng motioned for the jailer to put him back into the water and turned to leave.

He met Su Jiu in the interrogation hall of Dali Temple.

Outside the door, the wind and rain were cloudy, and the early summer rainstorm was magnificent, and the trees in the courtyard swayed wildly in the storm, scattering leaves all over the ground.

Su Jiu carried a food box and an oil-paper umbrella, standing alone at the threshold.

His clothes and hair were soaked by the rain, and he looked more and more thin.

The little face without makeup was extremely pale, only the deer eyes were still dark and bright.

Seeing him come out, she stepped forward, tilted her head and asked, "I want to see Xiao Tingchen." ”

Rong Zheng took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped her little face covered with rain, "He is a repeat offender, according to the law, I can't let anyone see him." I'll have someone pass it to him for you. ”

He instructed the little servant behind him, "Go and make a bowl of ginger tea." ”

There were only two people left in the hall, him and Su Jiu.

Su Jiu put the food box on the table, lowered his head and took out a bulging purse from his sleeve pocket.

She shoved her purse into Rong Zheng's arms.
