However, in the name of searching, the Ting Wei Division is actually chasing and killing. Isn't that right? ”

Helan Jue remained silent: "The Holy Lord did order the Ting Wei Division to arrest Xiao Yan and bring him to justice, but the Ting Wei Division still has the power to cut first and then play." ”

Song Ran put down the bowl: "The folk girl is just speculating. Although the folk girl has never seen Lord Xiao, some people have seen Lord Xiao, and it should not be difficult to draw a clear portrait, but why did Ting Weisi take an unclear portrait to arrest him, this is unreasonable. ”

Seeing that Helan Jue didn't speak, she continued: "That's why the people girl thought, could the person the adults really hunt down and kill not Lord Xiao." When he was hiding in the house of the people's daughter, he saw that the people's girl mistakenly thought that he was Lord Xiao, and knew that this loophole could be exploited, so he took advantage of the situation to pretend to be Lord Xiao and deceive the sympathy of the people's daughter to help him get out of the city, which was not impossible. ”

Helan Jue suddenly laughed, but the laughter made people's hearts chill: "Miss Song really only thought of it today, maybe he is not Xiao Yan?" ”

"That's nature." Her voice was slightly unsteady, but she was still extremely calm, "If you knew that he was not Lord Xiao, how could the folk girl take such a big risk, and she would not have suffered this prison in vain." The adults spared no effort to hunt down and kill this person, presumably this person is very important, I wonder if the adults are willing to give the people a chance to make meritorious contributions? ”

He Lanjue suddenly admired her a little. In this girl, there is a kind of inconspicuous intelligence, she knows that she has entered the Imperial Guard, and the left and right are more and less auspicious, so it is better to spread out everything and explain it clearly, and she can buy some time for herself.

Xia Xiaoqiu raised her eyebrows: "How do you want to make meritorious service for your crimes?" ”

Song Ran said: "The folk girl has seen him, the folk girl can help the adults draw it, he was seriously injured before, and the adults still have traces to follow, and now he is very injured, no different from ordinary people, if he pretends to be an ordinary person, the adults want to find him, it is simply a needle in the bottom of the sea." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu immediately got up: "I'll go get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

Helan Jue stopped him and said, "I'll talk about it when the adults come back." ”

After Shen Hanxi left the Musk Lan Palace, before the sedan chair landed, he was invited to the mansion by the Ministry of Shangshu to discuss this year's Spring Festival. After some tossing, it was late at night when I returned to the Imperial Guard.

A hook of the crescent moon hangs on the cornices of the pavilion.

On the way through the Xiting official office to the back office, Helan Jue reported to him what Song Ran said word for word.

Shen Hanxi asked lazily, "What about people?" ”

"The adult didn't speak, and the humble position didn't dare to let it go easily......" put his hand in his mouth, coughed, and pushed the matter to Xia Xiaoqiu, "I had to follow Lord Xia's advice and locked up in the prison with the tiger head card." ”

Hung with tiger head plaques are the cells for felons and death row inmates, which are also the lowest, most damp and harsh of all cells. But fortunately, there is only one person on each death row, and there is no need to share the same room with other prisoners, which can be regarded as taking care of her.

Although he threw the pot to Xia Xiaoqiu neatly, Helan Jue had to pay attention to the reaction of his adults to this matter. Seeing that he did not show satisfaction or displeasure, his heart was half relieved.

"Are you going to be arraigned in person now, do you want to go and rest first, and then try again tomorrow? Beizhi and Xia Xiaoqiu asked again and again today, and she didn't look like she was lying. ”

With the arrival of Shen Hanxi, the prison doors were opened by the jailers, making a dull sound, although there were many felons locked up here, but there was a dead silence, no crying and wailing. Most of these death row inmates also understand that when they enter here, it is useless to cry for their father and mother, so it is better to save their energy and think about life more realistically. There are also death row inmates who know that they are out of play, so they simply take pleasure in watching other people's good shows - I really want to know which unlucky guy Shen Hanxi is trying to interrogate at this time.

The man in the silver-gray official uniform finally stopped in front of a death row.

The young girl leaned against the corner, staring at the snow-white wall in a daze, the cell was small and gloomy, except for a small window on the upper left side, and a moonlight shone on her face. In this filthy environment, the face was strikingly pure, and the wide white prison clothes on her body seemed to shine with her countenance. The thick long hair was tied only with a plain headband, and the pale and slender fingers were pinching a straw, playing with it carelessly.

Helan Jue thought that her embarrassed appearance was even more likely to make people think badly than when she sent it during the day.

When she heard the movement, she turned her face away, and saw the two people standing in front of the cell, and hurriedly walked to the cell door with bracelets and shackles, with some begging in her eyes: "My lord." ”

The prisoner's clothes were wide, wrapped around his petite body, and his thin collarbones were faintly exposed.

Shen Hanxi's gaze stayed on her for a moment, and he ordered the jailer: "Bring it out." ”

In the interrogation room, the man sat on a square chair, wearing a silver-gray brocade robe and an ink-colored robe, and stroked the jade wrench on his hand with one hand boredly.

The jailer brought Song Ran to him and pressed her against the tiger chair opposite.

Shen Hanxi spoke: "Isn't Miss Song afraid?" ”

Her shoulders moved, but in just a moment, she regained her composure and calmness: "I have seen the eighteen kinds of torture instruments of Lord Helan and know that I have eighteen ways to die in the Tingwei Division, of course the people are afraid." But now when I see adults, I am not afraid. ”

"Oh?"

"Presumably, Lord Helan has already conveyed what the folk girl said to your lordship, do you really want to kill me? Will killing me make adults feel at ease? ”

Shen Hanxi didn't expect that he would come to try her today, but he hadn't tried it yet, but was asked by her: "But if I don't kill you, the official will not feel comfortable." ”

"Then the adult told the people's daughter, how can the people's daughter make the adults comfortable?"

This sentence stopped him. Sitting in his seat, it is not comfortable to kill, and it is not comfortable not to kill, and so far no one has asked him how to make him comfortable. He suffered a lot of grievances when he was young, and he was full of revenge, and after he had power, he began to take revenge and revenge. Of course, the revenge is comfortable, but the comfort fades away too quickly, and sometimes in the dead of night, the only thing left is boredom, so his temper has become bigger and bigger over the years, and a little thing is enough to make him dissatisfied. But because of his moodiness, others respect him more and fear him, and he is quite desperate in this world of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

However, this girl is different from others, and when he talks to her, he has no temper.

Song Ran glanced at him, lowered his head again, and said very frankly: "My lord, the folk girl doesn't want to die. ”

He looked at the person in front of him with the flickering lights, the age of Ruhua, the appearance of Ruhua, it was a pity that he died like this.

"If you don't want to die, the official will reward you with a chance." The cold face suddenly changed its expression, and he got up and said to He Lanjue, "Take her to wash, change into clean clothes, and then send her to see me." ”

When Helan Jue got this order, his body paused slightly, but he quickly reined in and said, "Yes." ”

After a stick of incense, Helan Jue looked at the girl who had changed into clean clothes, and her narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

"Miss Song, you are really lucky today. Come, take her to the wing room at the back of the main hall. ”

Although Shen Hanxi has a mansion, it is rare to go back several times a month, and most of them usually stay in Yamen.

When Song Ran heard his command, he couldn't help but pause, his face turned white in an instant, and he was not as calm as when he was in the cell: "My lord, where do you want me to go?" ”

Helan Jue changed to a warm tone: "Doesn't the girl understand?" If the adults don't kill you immediately, they will lift you up, and then it will depend on whether you know how to lift you up. The adults have been busy lately, and they have been living in the yamen, so you are kind and kind to serve, and you are comfortable to serve, and you can say anything. However, this official also advises you, since you have reached this point, don't think about going home. ”

"Helan ......"

The door of the room slammed shut in front of him, and Song Ran's heart seemed to explode with a loud bang.

She held on to the door frame and sat down slowly, Shen Hanxi would not be ...... I've taken a fancy to her.

In the past few days, King Chengwu is still not sleeping well for military expenses and can't eat. Hubu Shangshu avoided him, and deliberately avoided him in the court, and today he finally couldn't help but raise the matter in the court, but he was downplayed by Hubu Shangshu with "there are still a few accounts being verified", and dealt with it lightly.

If the military expenses cannot be distributed, the soldiers on the front line will not be able to get the money to support their families, and if this matter drags on any longer, it will force people to rebel. The most aggrieved thing is that he can't really rebel, who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in this Ling'an City?

Dajing border. Xu Yuan, a strategist who was leading a team of men and horses to patrol the border, after reading the letter sent from Ling'an City eight hundred miles in an emergency, put a curtain on his forehead with his hand, looked at the geese flying overhead, and gloated in a tone that could not hide his schadenfreude: "Lord Wang, he should understand at this time how low his ability to behave in the world is." ”

General Zhao, who was guarding behind him, couldn't help but say, "Master Xu, you can't just ...... like this just because you quarreled with the prince Look at the prince's joke like this. After all, it is his own prince. ”

"General Zhao's words are wrong, this military division is training the prince. If the prince had realized that his naivety and incompetence might have made the soldiers below unable to eat, you and I wouldn't have to worry so much for so many years. It's time for him to grow up. ”

General Zhao was silent: "What Xu Junshi said is very reasonable. ”

However, the evaluation of "naïve" and "incompetent" is too ruthless.

Xu Yuan "drove" and instructed the messenger in the wind: "Go and reply to the prince, just say that I went to Youzhou, you haven't been able to see it, let him figure it out by himself." ”

Three days later, King Chengwu pinched the reply letter in his study, and the corners of his mouth twitched with anger.

Xu Yuan's kid definitely did it on purpose.

He had lowered his profile and begged for peace, and he had responded in this way. Go to Youzhou and be a fool of this king?

"Lord Wang."

King Chengwu, who was about to curse, heard the voice of a subordinate outside the study.

He shouted, "If there's a fart, let it go!" ”

The people outside the door were frightened by the anger in his tone, and said, "Back to the prince, there is ...... Someone asked to see him. ”

King Chengwu said decisively: "Busy, I don't see." ”

The servant said: "The person who came said that he came by the order of the Lord, which can solve the prince's worries in the near future." ”

King Chengwu narrowed his eyes: "Who is coming, he knows what worries this king has been having recently, and he dares to speak so loudly?" ”

"It's an old man, and the slave wanted to expel him, but he claimed to be a fellow villager of Xu Junshi, and he talked extraordinarily...... The slave felt that he should still report to the prince. ”

When King Chengwu heard the three words of Xu Junshi, suspicion and curiosity accounted for half of each other, and after thinking about it, he finally ordered: "Go and invite him to the living room, and this king will arrive later." ”
