Although she took out the poison hidden in her mouth in time, that dancing girl was obviously a dead man, and she refused to tell the truth no matter how she tortured her, so she sneered repeatedly, saying that she had died a well-deserved death, and that Sun Yanling had died of her heart, and she would never betray her master.

Although Mai Ji didn't say anything, but thinking of what a samurai said to Sizhen before biting the poison, in Guilin City, there were more and more suspicious voices, although no one dared to say anything on the surface, but secretly it was rumored that the assassination was specially designed by He Shuo Gege in order to seize power.

Yu Xuan wanted to close the case and throw this hot potato to Kong Sizhen, so that she could explain it to the officials and people of the Ding Domain, but Sun Yanling refused, saying that he had a way to make the dancing girl speak and tell the truth.

When Lu Yuxuan helplessly asked Sun Yanling what to do, Sun Yanling asked someone to find a big wooden box, blindfolded the dancing girl's eyes, plugged her ears, tied her hands and feet, and threw it into the box, and then put the box in a room where she couldn't hear or smell anything, and the guards were not allowed to make a sound outside the door.

"What can this do? She has endured all those tortures, can it be useful if she doesn't beat or scold like this? Yu Xuan tactfully expressed his doubts.

"The third son's method is useless, just follow my method, as for whether it is useful or not, maybe there will be an answer tonight." Sun Yanling replied lightly.

That Mai Ji originally reported the idea of death, as a dead soldier, if the mission is unsuccessful, there is only a dead end, this is what she has known for a long time, so whether it is to bite and kill herself when she fails or to be tortured after being caught, she is ready. Of course, she didn't say it, she just knew that the news she said at the beginning would not be gullible, and she would wait until she was tortured, and she said it in a plausible way, leading people to speculate, then the purpose of their assassination this time was achieved.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't believe it and locked her up again.

But this detention is very different from the past, she didn't beat or scold, she didn't give water and food, she even blindfolded her eyes, ears, tied her hands and feet, and didn't care.

There was no previous stormy torture, and no one coerced, enticed, scolded and abused her to confess, she waited for a long time and did not hear any movement.

What are they going to do with her? What's going on out there?

Finally, Maihime couldn't help but shout, "Is there anyone?" Anyone? Because her ears were blocked, she could faintly hear some of her own voice, muffled, but she could not hear any answer.

Where exactly is she? What do those people want to do with her? Maihime tried to untie the rope, but the person who tied her was clearly a master of the rope, and she couldn't move at all, because her eyes were blindfolded and her ears were blocked, and she could only feel like she was in a small space with what little touch she had left.

Maihime felt very uncomfortable, and she kept struggling in the box, but it was of no use except for the clattering of her head.

It became increasingly difficult for her to breathe, as if she was going to be buried alive.

**

Sizhen went to visit the injured Bai Yansong, and happened to meet Sun Yanling, and the three of them talked about what happened at the night banquet in the room.

When he heard that the dancing girl still hadn't confessed, Bai Yansong, who was half-leaning on the big pillow of playing ink, frowned, and Sun Yanling sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and took an orange from the fruit bowl on the high table, peeled it and handed it to Sizhen.

Sizhen shook his head: "I don't eat it, Sun Shenling can eat it himself." ”

Sun Yanling threw the orange petal into his mouth, and after eating, Fang said: "Don't worry, she will have to recruit sooner or later!" Also, Ah Zhen, how many times have I told you, don't be so angry, you just call me second brother. ”

He is the second oldest in the family, and there is a cousin above, and he once told Sizhen in private that he was called Erlang or the second brother, but he was always ignored by Sizhen.

Bai Yansong glanced at him and didn't speak, Sizhen directly ignored the sentence behind him and asked, "Are you so sure?" What did you do to get the woman to confess? ”

Sun Yanling said mysteriously: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, you just wait and see." He glanced at Sizhen and praised: "You are dressed like a big girl today, but the dress two days ago was so solemn that I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak." ”

On that day, because she was going to meet with the officials of the Ding Domain, she was worried that everyone would think that she was young and didn't take her seriously, so Sizhen's makeup was all going to the road of grace and luxury, and naturally she looked a few years older than her actual age.

This Sizhen is wearing a gold-sprinkled skirt with water-red twigs, her jet-black hair is combed behind her head, her white face is as white as jade, and her eyebrows are like jewels.

Sun Yanling was overjoyed and couldn't help but tease her.

Sizhen listened, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she snorted lightly: "You still have time to talk less, why don't I think?" ”

Although it was a refutation of his words, because of his soft voice and clear voice, it was as if he was coquettish, Sun Yanling felt that his ears were hot for no reason.

He pretended to be fine, coughed lightly twice, and got down to business: "Speaking of which, when I arrived in Guilin, the first thing I did was to ask to see Lord Dutong, but for some reason, I didn't get a reply. It's a pity that the time is too short, and we can't arrange our own manpower in the Lianjia, but judging from the investigation in the past few days, many clues show that this matter has a lot to do with the third son, but I don't know if Lord Dutong has been involved. Ah Zhen has to think about it, if this matter is found out to be the mastermind of the third prince, and even the line is involved, what should you do? ”

Sizhen was silent for a while.

Since he took over the Dingfan, it can be said that he has done his best, no matter from which point of view, it is unlikely that he will be involved in this matter, is this time the father and son centrifuge, and the third son is his own idea? Although Lian Guoan has always favored his third son, it is also a clear distinction between public and private, and he is still making big ideas, doesn't the third son know that if there is no support from Lian Guoan, no matter how much he jumps, he will not be able to become a climate?

If this matter has nothing to do with the national security, it will make people think deeply, after this incident, what position does he stand on, what are his plans, will he be evil, or will he kill his relatives in righteousness? According to the upright character of the Duke of the Lian family, it is not impossible to do this, but the third son of the Lian family, although he ranks third, is the only concubine of the Lian family, and he is also the favorite son of the Lian Guoan, even if he did it at the time, I am afraid that the relationship between the Kong family and him will be broken afterwards.

No matter what, you have to leave a way for Yu Xuan to live, but how to stay this way of life, you have to think about it carefully, after all, if it is light, it will not deter Yu Xuan, and it is difficult to ensure that he will not have any dissenting intentions in the future, and if it is heavy, it will embarrass Lu Guoan, but it will be a bad thing.

Sizhen didn't have an idea for a while, turned to Sun Yanling and said: "The third prince is in the army, he is quite popular, everyone praises him, the tiger father has no dog, saying that he is the most outstanding son of the Lian family, what do you think?" ”

"The best?" Sun Yanling smiled coldly, "I think it's the most scheming, the second son of the Lian family, with outstanding literary talent and excellent martial arts, but it is rumored that he is arrogant and domineering...... These, I estimate, have the handwriting of the third son, but he is himself, and there is nothing blameworthy in dealing with people, but don't you think it's terrible for such a person? Who can make no mistakes, love everyone, and see flowers bloom? ”

"In this way, there is indeed a problem with the third son!" Even Bai Yansong said with certainty, "If something is abnormal, it is a demon." I heard that Gege's entry into the Dingnan Mansion was not all the idea of the Imperial Palace, at least, people outside said that all the personnel in the palace were arranged by the third prince. ”

"You mean it's their people inside and out? Then you dare to be so bold and say anything? ”

Bai Yansong smiled: "If Gege doesn't even have this ability, how can he take care of the Dingfan?" ”

Sun Yanling is inexplicable, what does this have to do with Sizhen's management of the Ding Domain?

Sizhen looked at his expression and said lightly: "In the palace, but the most complicated place in the personnel, I am He Shuogege, who is in charge of the royal affairs of this fixed domain, naturally I have my own people, and the people in this place are arranged by him, and some of them are arranged by me through his hands." ”

Sun Yanling was stunned, and then jumped up: "I forgot, if you want to talk about fighting and managing the back house, where can anyone compare with those ladies in the palace, you have been in the imperial city for a few years, and you have naturally learned a delicate heart from them." Dare to be affectionate, the third prince thinks that you are all his people in front of you, but the news you get is all you want him to know! Plan ahead, arrange the manpower before you come, high, really high! ”

Being praised by him, the natural flush on Sizhen's face became a little heavier, and she smiled: "Not really, it's just that in the key position, there are people who have their own, and it's easier to get started." As far as I know, Lu Shibo is very displeased with some of the practices of the third prince, and the reason why he can't bear it is probably because he is worried that I will take the opportunity to send the third prince, as long as there is evidence that the third prince's Meng Lang's behavior is all provoked by others, he should stand on our side and punish the third prince with a big punishment. ”

Sun Yanling disagreed: "Do you plan to let the third son go without blame for the past?" Ah Zhen, I didn't say you, Lu Yuxuan, this person is not the kind of person who will repent easily, you want to let him go this time, I am afraid that it will be a tiger returning to the mountain and raising a tiger for trouble! ”

"Right now, the Dingfan is still in the hands of the people of the Lian family, if there is a conflict, the Lian Shibo is held hostage by those people, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, so I can only slowly figure it out. I have already sent a letter to the emperor, asking him to order you to stay in Guilin, lead General Sun Long's old troops as a general soldier, and gradually cultivate our own forces. ”
