At the right time, the weather was swelteringly hot, and there was not a single wind. Outside the official office of the Imperial Health Division, two brocade clothes were on duty against the summer heat, and one of them fanned the wind with his hand and complained: "It's just past April, why is it so hot." ”

"But it's not, it's just summer, and I'll still be offended in the future."

The two of them complained twice, and one of them said: "I heard that in the past two days, many people have been temporarily transferred to the Xiting to take care of the felon, where is this felon?" ”

"In such a battle as the Xiting, it must be because someone is afraid that someone will come to rob the prison, and I am afraid that this person's origin will not be small."

"Could it have something to do with the hidden stake that I pulled out of the Eastern Court?"

"This dark stake can lurk in the Eastern Court for many years, and the power behind it should not be underestimated, I guess the adult wants to use this felony to lure out the culprit." Lowering his voice, he said, "Xiting has even prepared a guillotine. ”

"Isn't this person from a small background, what if the people behind him don't move and don't fall into the trap?"

"Then kill it, the right is to kill chickens and monkeys, adults even killed Gu Linsheng back then, in this world, who can't kill anyone?"

As he was chatting, he heard a reprimanding voice behind him: "Chew your tongue here." ”

The two of them were busy silencing and said respectfully: "Deputy Envoy Wang." ”

The man stood behind them, handed over an object, and said with a faint expression: "Inside is a confidential document, send it to the adult for your confirmation." ”

"Deputy envoy Huiwang, my lord went to the East Palace early this morning, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. What's up to you. ”

For so many years, his own lord has always given this deputy envoy full trust, and he has not failed to live up to this trust, and has kept the Imperial Guard Division in good order.

Since the establishment of the Imperial Health Division, he has always done things without leakage. Tingwei can have today, half of his credit.

However, during this period of time, the adults were repeatedly attacked, and the way the deputy envoy responded was really not at his previous level. However, being able to pull out the hidden stake that is so deep can be regarded as a great achievement.

When Wang Zhuo heard this, he said: "This matter is very important, it is better to let the adults confirm it at a glance, and wait for the adults to come back, and then hand it over." ”

In his hand is a black brocade box with a special lock hanging from it, on which are several rings, each engraved with words, which need to be rotated in a specific combination in turn to open the lock. This particular combination, known only to him and Shen Hanxi, has always been the code word used to transmit messages between the two of them.

He handed the brocade box to the other party, and was about to turn around and go back to the office, when he saw a brocade man coming over and said, "Deputy Envoy Wang, Lord Helan is invited." The prisoner is about to be tried. ”

Xiting Prison.

Xia Xiaoqiu had been sitting outside the prison door, her lips tightly closed, motionless, as if she had settled down. But Song Ran kept talking, talking about everything, saying some inconsequential things.

He hadn't noticed that there was so much to say about her.

"I heard Uncle Zhong say that his hometown is in Suzhou, and when it comes to spring, people drink the Biluochun irrigated by Taihu Lake water, pick camellia to make dumplings, go to the river to catch delicate white fish, and the mountains and fields are full of sweet and crispy bamboo shoots, which can be fried or made into soup, not to mention how delicious." She narrowed her eyes, revealing a yearning look, "'Green bamboo shoots welcome the boat out, and the river fish come in every day'." In spring next year, be sure to go to Suzhou for a ride. I wonder if Lord Xia is interested in traveling together? ”

Xia Xiaoqiu finally couldn't listen to it, this girl, doesn't she understand her current situation?

"If you still have your life at that time, Xia Ye and I will personally go down to the river to help you catch fish!" After enduring it for a long time, I finally couldn't help it, and said, "Miss Song, I know that you are not the kind of ruthless person, but adults have been in danger many times, and you are suspected of you, and you yourself have admitted it neatly, even if I want to help you, you have to know the current affairs first." He got up and walked to the cell door, and said in a low voice, "Adults will not be reluctant to kill you just because they like you." Now that he has handed you over to Helan Jue, you must prepare for the worst. ”

As he was talking, he heard footsteps behind him, his eyes became darker, and he said, "Whatever Helan Jue asks you later, you can tell it all, those big punishments are not something you can bear." ”

The jailer stepped forward and opened the cell door.

Song Ran got up from the straw mat, walked with the two jailers to the torture room, and when he passed by Xia Xiaoqiu's side, he said softly: "Thank you." ”

These two words made him pause in his breath, and he immediately clenched the saber in his hand.

A jailer asked him, "Lord Xia, do you want to go and watch?" ”

He said coldly: "Don't go." ”

He has always had clear grievances, and the reminder of the right talent is to remember the feelings of the past. I don't want to see her being punished in front of me, but I also think about the past. But these emotions were not enough for him to stop what was going to happen next.

Although he killed people like hemp, he killed people who deserved to die, and he couldn't be sure whether the girl in front of him should die or not, and this incident made him irritable.

Song Ran had already walked a few steps away, and suddenly heard him say, "What will happen later, are you ready?" ”

She paused, a wry smile on her lips.

She is naturally prepared, Helan Jue said yesterday that she would be temporarily wronged, not just to let her sit in prison. The thing in Shen Hanxi's mouth that was soothing was not for her to simply make a show.

Sometimes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you need to lose 800 yourself.

He can be cruel to anyone, including her, of course.

In the torture room, Helan Jue was already waiting there, and beside him, there was a man with a white face and black hair, she was slightly stunned, and then she held her sweaty palm and walked towards them......

Half an hour later, Wang Zhuo walked out of the torture room and ordered the attendants beside him: "Prepare the horse, this official has to go out." ”

After getting into the carriage, his gaze lingered for a moment before slowly lowering the curtain.

The driver asked, "Where are you going?" ”

He said, "Go to the east of the city first." ”

A man in black who was hunched on the roof got up and gestured not far away, and several men dressed like him silently followed. These people were all masters of light skills, and they walked lightly on the rooftops without alarming a single piece of rubble.

The carriage headed towards the east of the city, and after half an hour, it slowly stopped, and a shadow guard who was following reminded his companions: "Not far ahead is the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department. ”

The other party's eyes were like torches, and when he saw Wang Zhuo get out of the carriage, he gestured with a calm face: "Keep up." ”

As a result, I followed him all the way, but saw him Shi Shiran enter an antique shop, and after a while, he held a purple clay pot and returned to the carriage.

As soon as he left, the shadow guard went to ask the owner of the antique shop, and learned from the other party that Wang Zhuo was a frequent customer in his shop, and he ordered this purple clay pot here a month ago, and today happened to be the day to come and pick it up. Wang Zhuo loves tea sets, and everyone in the Tingwei Division knows about it, and the shadow guard can't help but be a little disappointed. But he was only disappointed for a moment, and then he cheered up, and today, whenever the king's deputy envoy came into contact with a suspicious person, or had a suspicious behavior, they would immediately take him down.

In the torture room, Helan Jue asked the woman who had passed out to be put down from the torture instrument, and her body immediately fell lightly into his arms.

He held out a hand: "Water." ”

The attendant immediately handed him a glass of water, he put a pill in her mouth, and fed her another sip of water, afraid of choking her, raised his hand and clicked on two acupoints, letting the pill slide down her throat into her abdomen.

Her forehead hair was already wet with sweat, and her originally slender and white fingers were now bloody and blurry. He had tried his best to minimize the damage when "tormenting" her, but for the sake of realistic results, the pain of flesh and skin was inevitable.

Under the effect of the pill, she slowly woke up, but her eyes were still misty, and her face was frighteningly white.

He maintained the posture of holding her and looked at her with lowered eyes: "Miss Song, I really wronged you today." He added, "However, I still have to wronged you and make do with it for two days in prison." ”

Wang Zhuo should have tried his best to hand this news to his master, they already knew that he had a problem, but they didn't know who he was working for. His eyes fell on the face of the girl in his arms, and he thought to himself, the adult was gambling with her life, but it was really ruthless......

What if the person behind Wang Zhuo didn't care about her life or death?

Song House.

Song Ran hadn't returned for two days, and he hadn't sent anyone back to deliver the letter, so Uncle Zhong was a little uneasy, so he asked the dumb man to go to the Shen Mansion to ask. Shen Hanxi sealed the news very tightly, and the dumb didn't know that she was actually in the prison of the Ting Wei Division at this time.

The subordinates of the Shen Mansion told him: "My lord, I will stay in the house for a few days, and the son will please go back." ”

Suspicious, he went straight to a remote back wall, pinned the hem of his coat into his belt, and flipped it in lightly.

After searching all the wings of the Shen Mansion, he didn't see Song Ran's shadow, and his doubts couldn't help but be even worse, Song Ran was not here, why did the people of the Shen Mansion lie?

He simply stopped dodging, fell in front of a patrolling nurse, and asked coldly, "Where is Miss Song?" ”

The other party was shocked: "Who are you, you dare to trespass on the Shen family's mansion?!" As he spoke, he was about to open his mouth to call someone, but he grabbed his throat, only to hear him ask again, "Where is the girl brought back by your family?" ”

"You mean Miss Song? Miss Song...... She went out with the adults today. ”

This sentence was inconsistent with the words of the right person, and he was even more sure that something had happened to Song Ran. He threw the other party out and flipped away from the courtyard wall of the Shen Mansion again.

After a pillar of incense, he fell into the court guard, avoided the brocade clothes who came and went, and went straight to Shen Hanxi's official office, but was stopped by Helan Jue halfway through.

The other party seemed to have been waiting for him: "Feng Gongzi came by coincidence, my lord has something to ask you to do." He added, "After this matter is done, the adults will let you take your girl away." ”

Wang Zhuo went to get the teapot, then returned to the official office of the Imperial Health Division, and buried himself in the paperwork until late at night, as usual. The shadow guards who were spying on him were a little agitated. Isn't he going to ventilate at all? Or has he already quietly reported the news? No, twelve hours a day, with shadow guards monitoring his movements at all times, he couldn't have any chance. Could it be that the life or death of the young master of the Mo family really didn't matter anything to his master? Is he going to get rid of the piece?

When Shen Hanxi returned to the Imperial Health Division, it was already late at night that day. After reading the brocade box that Wang Zhuo had given him, he lifted the lampshade beside him and burned the paper to ashes, just as he had cultivated over the years. Helan Jue, beside him, reported Wang Zhuo's actions today to him in detail, only to see his eyebrows sink slightly under the dancing lights.

Until now, he is still dutifully fulfilling the duties that a deputy envoy should perform. Should he ...... What to say?

Seeing him get up, Helan Jue hurriedly carried a wind lantern and followed him. Seeing him stop outside the cell, he couldn't help but speak: "My lord, do you want to ...... Go in and have a look? ”
