In the prison of Daxing City, Feng Qingyun was wearing shackles and locks, leaning against the gloomy stone wall, his expression was dull and numb.

"Feng Qingyun, a noble person has come to see you."

The cell boss knocked on the railing and shouted.

Feng Qingyun turned his head when he heard this, and outside the railing, there were the Eight Sage Kings.

For the Eight Sages King, Feng Qingyun didn't know him, he only knew that the noble old man in front of him was not low, but he never knew the origin of the latter.

"Feng Qingyun, the old man asks you again, do you really not remember anything about that night?" The Eight Sages' questioning was exactly the same as the previous times, and it didn't even change.

Feng Qingyun shook his head dumbly: "How many times do you want me to say it, that day Chen Chuang pulled me to drink, and it was true that there was a quarrel at the wine table, but after I came back, I fell asleep directly, and I didn't know anything." ”

"But the murder weapon was found in your room, don't you know this?"

Feng Qingyun was a little impatient: "How do I know who is hiding in my room, you have all this time not to investigate the truth of the matter, and keep asking me what to do." ”

The Eight Sages King sighed when he heard this, looked at Feng Qingyun and said, "Feng Qingyun, if you try to think about what happened that day, the old man can take care of it for you, otherwise, according to the law, you will lose your head." ”

Feng Qingyun smiled: "Come on, old man, I know that your status is not low, if you really want to help me, in a word, I can go out." Why bother talking to me here? Okay, I'll go to sleep first. ”

After speaking, Feng Qingyun didn't wait for the Eight Sages King to reply, he directly turned around and faced inside, lying down and deliberately snoring.

Seeing this, the Eight Sages King had nothing to do.

Yes, as the Eight Sages King of the Suiyang Imperial Court, he can indeed fish out Feng Qingyun with one sentence.

But if the Eight Sages King really did this, how would the students on Chen Chuang's side explain?

Since ancient times, the literati's pen is sharper than the butcher's knife of the martial arts, and if you don't figure it out, let go of the wind and clouds, Chen Chuang's side, will he give up? In the end, this incident came out, which was not good for everyone.

It's not that the Eight Sages King didn't talk to Chen Chuang about this, and even, the Eight Sages King showed his identity, but Chen Chuang gritted his teeth and didn't let go.

And the Eight Sages King vaguely felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Otherwise, how dare Chen Chuang, such a small person, dare to argue with himself?

It is not so much that this is Chen Chuang's style as a disciple of a saint, but that this is someone operating behind Chen Chuang's back.

It's just a pity that it's tight, and the Eight Sages King doesn't know who the person hiding in the shadows is.

Seeing that the date of Feng Qingyun's execution was approaching, the Eight Sages King shook his head and sighed, only to go to the heavenly prison.

···

Wang Xiaolai, who stayed in Yangzhou City, quickly received the empress's will, which made Wang Xiaolai wonder that his letter had only been sent out for more than ten days.

But when he stood in front of him and read the empress's will, Wang Xiaolai was sure that the empress was executing He Bingwen, and couldn't help but be stunned, how did the empress know the news so quickly?

"My lord, I have taken the order."

Shen Xiping pushed Wang Xiaolai.

"Uh-oh."

Reacting, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly stood up and stepped forward and took the holy decree from the fire thorn.

"My lord, Your Majesty's will to let you return to Beijing as soon as possible, but don't delay." Firethorn reminded.

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Don't worry, I'll set off after beheading He Bingwen everywhere." ”

Firethorn nodded, turned and walked out, got on the horse parked at the door, led the team out of the city, and then went all the way in the direction of Silla in the north.

After sending away the fire thorn, Wang Xiaolai asked Shen Xiping: "Where is He Bingwen now?" ”

"Stay in jail."

"Let's go, let's see."

All the way to the dungeon, to the front, He Bingwen, General Sun with a broken arm, plus He Bingwen's nephew, a total of three people sat in the prison.

When he arrived, looking at He Bingwen through the fence, Wang Xiaolai said, "Yo, Lord He, don't come unharmed." ”

He Bingwen raised his head and glared at Wang Xiaolai resentfully: "Boy, don't be too arrogant, do you think that you can do anything wrong if you are the Qincha of the Son of Heaven?" Let me tell you, my lord, I am not without backers in the court. ”

Wang Xiaolai pretended to be surprised: "Hey, is it? Let me guess, are your backers Lu Yiping, Feng Jun, and Cheng Shanhe? ”

He Bingwen laughed: "It's good to know, acquaintance, let me out now, I have the right to treat this as if it didn't happen." ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "It's a pity, I'm His Majesty's person, and I eat the food that His Majesty gave me, what if I don't have a relationship with those people above?" ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai took out the holy decree sent by the fire thorn just now from his pocket, opened it, looked down, and after confirming that he had not taken it backwards, he took a step forward and asked He Bingwen: "Lord He, I wonder if you don't know how to read like me?" If so, it would be a pity, Your Majesty's words, you won't be able to appreciate them. ”

"Old Shen."

With a shout, Shen Xiping took off the torch from the wall next to him and handed it to the holy decree.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Your Majesty asked me to execute you as soon as possible, Lord He, what else do you have to say?" ”

He Bingwen's face turned pale: "No, it's impossible, how can Yangzhou go to Daxing City so quickly, it must be a holy decree that you deliberately fabricated." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted disdainfully, pointed to the seal under the jade seal, and said with a smile: "Lord He, they are all adults, why are you so naïve, you don't know Your Majesty's handwriting, but don't you know this jade seal?" ”

Teng Teng.

He Bingwen knelt down in front of Wang Xiaolai, grabbed the wooden fence with both hands, and raised his head to beg for mercy: "Adult, adult, it is a small one who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and has offended Tianwei, please spare this life of the little one." ”

People like He Bingwen are very hard when they are hard, and they are cowardly when they are cowardly.

Wang Xiaolai squatted down, looked at He Bingwen and said: "Actually, I'm a good person, if at the beginning, you were willing to calm down and have a good chat with me, and this wouldn't have happened, but you had to send someone to call over the garrison, and you still wanted to kill me as a thief, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the Yulin Army, if it wasn't for Lao Shen's power, you said, did I die too unjustly?" ”

He Bingwen cried: "My lord, I know that I am wrong, I know that I am wrong, you have spared my life, and in the future, I will make you a cow and a horse." ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "It seems that you still don't understand me, what about my temper, what about others, I will do to others, it's just ten times the return, you want to kill me, I will let you go, that's called an idiot, and besides, Your Majesty's holy decree says that you should be killed, Lord He, you say, do I listen, or don't listen?" ”

He Bingwen's lips trembled wildly, trembling and unable to speak.

"But don't worry, it's not easy for everyone, I'm also greedy for money, I don't care about your corruption, killing you is just because you wanted to kill me in the first place. But your wife and children, I will let them go, after all, they and I have no hatred. ”

He Bingwen kowtowed when he heard this: "Thank you, sir." ”

Wang Xiaolai stood up and said, "Cheng, it seems that you accept it quickly, Lao Shen, bring someone over." ”

Shen Xiping waved to the side when he heard this, and followed, and several Yulin soldiers led He Bingwen's family to the front.

Wang Xiaolai beckoned to Shen Xiping and said, "Let's let them have a family reunion first, let's leave." ”

He Bingwen glanced at Wang Xiaolai gratefully.

Here, Wang Xiaolai and the others turned the corridor, and behind them, He Bingwen's family urinated and cried bitterly.

Wang Xiaolai lit a cigarette roll made from the tobacco found in He Bingwen's house, held it in his hand, and smoked it.

"Lao Shen, do you say I'm too cruel, He Bingwen and I don't have any festivals, I'm going to kill him, isn't it a bit unauthentic?"

Shen Xiping took the cigarette roll from Wang Xiaolai's hand, took a sip in his mouth, and said, "My lord, why do you have such an idea?" When he He Bingwen wanted to kill us before, he was authentic at that time? ”

Wang Xiaolai touched his nose, took out another one, lit it with a torch on the wall, and took a puff: "That's what I said, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Shen Xiping patted Wang Xiaolai: "My lord, now you see how pitiful He Bingwen is, but a person like him is more powerful than anyone else when he does evil, otherwise how could he embezzle 20 million taels of net family property in just three years?" This is not a gift, besides, my lord, it stands to reason that He Bingwen is going to be beheaded all over the house, don't you still kill him, it's enough forgiveness. ”

Being persuaded by Shen Xiping like this, Wang Xiaolai felt a little better, and took a deep breath: "Okay." ”
