"You...... You! Weng Jiutong was so painful that half of his face was numb, he looked at his half of his ears, sat on the ground with his legs limp and shouted, "Someone!" Come! Come! "Although he is not an impregnable defense here, he has also bought a lot of nursing homes, which used to prevent someone from stealing pills, and later to protect himself.

But who expected that after a few calls for help, none of the guards were seen, but all the apprentices were pushed out of the house, and everyone was driven with a knife around their necks.

Weng Jiutong was shocked, covering his injured left ear with one hand, pointing at those with knives with the other, and said with difficulty in enduring the pain: "Who are you?" ”

These people were all dressed in civilian clothes, and only the weapons in their hands shimmered silver and were extremely sharp, which were owned by the Praetorian Guard. There were seventy or eighty of them, and it was Ming Chenyuan who was the leader, only to see him walk calmly in front of Weng Jiutong with his hands behind his back, and throw down a bottle of wound medicine: "Mr. Weng, it is important to stop the bleeding." ”

Weng Jiutong was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to pick up the medicine bottle on the ground.

Ming Chenyuan smiled again: "This is the best medicine for injuries in the Imperial Medical Department, it can quickly build muscle and stop bleeding, I won't tell you, the one in Longqian Palace who was injured only recognized this kind of medicine." ”

When Weng Jiutong heard this, he didn't dare not pick it up. But his left ear was so painful, his whole face and shoulders were covered with blood, and his hands trembled several times, but he couldn't pick up the medicine bottle.

Ming Chenyuan beckoned to one of his little apprentices and said with a smile: "You have done a good job just now, come and give your master medicine!" ”

The little apprentice was the one who went to the alchemy room to greet Weng Jiutong, he listened to Ming Chenyuan's words, and did not dare to disobey, he hurriedly walked up to Weng Jiutong with trepidation, picked up the medicine bottle and applied medicine to the master's wound.

He cried while taking the medicine: "Master, the apprentice can't stand you...... They barged in early this morning and tied up our brothers and sisters...... The disciples did not dare not disobey them...... Had...... I had to go to the Danfang and ask you to come out......"

Weng Jiutong's wound was stung by the potion, and when he heard the words, he was even more angry, so he kicked the little apprentice away and scolded angrily: "Traitor, get out!" ”

The little apprentice was honest and loyal, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times before obediently retreating into the ranks held hostage by the Praetorian Guards.

At this time, Wei Nong also walked to Ming Chenyuan's side, and handed him the Emei thorn in his hand, pretending to be disgusted: "You can deal with this thing." ”

Weng Jiutong looked at the bloody left ear pierced on the Emei, suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Wei thick and shouted: "Are you ...... You are! You are! ”

Wei Nong glanced at him and blocked his unspoken words: "It seems that Nie Xingyi treats you well and tells you a lot of things!" ”

After that, she looked at the sky again, turned to Mingchen and said, "I shouldn't come out for too long, I'll leave it to you here, Emei stabbed you and brought it back to the palace for me." ”

"Congratulations to the county lord." Mingchen was far away from the outside and did enough etiquette.

Wei Nong saluted him, and without further words, put on the hat on his cloak, put the veil back on, and walked away quickly.

*****

After Wei Nong left, Ming Chenyuan naturally had no scruples, and used countless methods to coerce confessions, and finally forced Weng Jiutong to tell the truth

"How did you and Nie Xingyi meet?" He asked first.

Weng Jiutong was lying on the floor of the alchemy room, dying: "The family master used to be very close to the first queen, the first queen had no children, and she spent three or four years taking the pills refined by the family teacher, and then ...... Later, the first queen gave birth to the king and the princess, and pursued eternal beauty, and has always maintained contact with the family teacher...... The king is also ...... It was also introduced to Poor Dao by the family teacher. ”

"So, you've been doing things for him for years?" Ming Chenyuan asked again.

"No, no, no, no......" Weng Jiutong took a breath: "In the past, when the king was still the crown prince, in order to seek a male heir, he also took the pill of the poor way...... Later, he didn't contact him again until three years ago, when he took the initiative to come to Poor Dao, saying that he wanted Poor Dao to do things for him...... He promised to be generous, and the poor road was ...... I was tempted. ”

"What did he tell you to do? What kind of promise do you have? Ming Chenyuan stepped on his injured left ear and asked again in a deep voice.

Weng Jiutong groaned loudly in pain, and even the word "poor road" no longer called himself: "He ...... He asked me to deliver the news for him in the name of alchemy, saying that it was ...... Once he returns to power, he will ...... I am allowed to be a teacher in my country. ”

"The position of the national teacher?" Ming Chenyuan snorted, obviously disdainful: "Then how have you delivered the news for him all these years?" How did you two come into contact? ”

"Yes...... It's Concubine Shu's mother who will send someone to me to buy pills, and then I will hide the news in the pills and send it to the palace......"

Ming Chenyuan immediately raised his spirit: "Ming Danshu is also involved? ”

"I didn't ...... No, she didn't know the inside story, she just bought medicine for the king, "Weng Jiutong's breathing at this time has gradually weakened, and the breath is more out and less in, it seems that it is not enough."

But before Ming Chenyuan's words were finished, he naturally wouldn't let him die so quickly, so he ordered someone to feed something to his mouth and hang him for a breath.

"What ministers have you secretly contacted for him over the years, and what have you said?" Ming Chenyuan simply moved a chair and sat beside him.

Weng Jiutong was afraid of being punished again, so he naturally recruited them all: "At the beginning...... I took the opportunity of alchemy and doing things to preach that the king is the destiny of heaven, and the regent is just ...... It's just a moment of pride, and if you go against the sky, you will be damned......"

"Huh, and then what?"

And then ...... I did as the king commanded, and I won over some of his ministers. ”

"Who are they?" This is what Ming Chenyuan is most concerned about.

However, Weng Jiutong refused to say anything, and only said: "You kill me, I'...... I can't say. ”

Ming Chenyuan sneered: "If you don't say it, I'll just spend some more time at most, even you have found out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find them?" ”

After saying that, his expression was dark, his eyes narrowed and he said: "If you don't say it, I won't kill you, just the punishment you received, I will let you suffer once a day in the future, see how long you can last." ”

Hearing this, Weng Jiutong's face suddenly showed a frightened look, and he lay on the ground and struggled with all his might: "Don't ...... Don't ......"

The guard immediately stepped forward and held him down, but he struggled like crazy: "Don't, don't...... I say, I say! ”

At this time, a guard had already prepared a pen and paper on the side, recording the names of several people he said, as well as the process of Weng Jiutong's correspondence with them, word for word.

After reading these records, Ming Chenyuan put them in his sleeve and instructed everyone in the alchemy room: "You go down first." ”

Several guards knew what Ming Chenyuan meant, and retreated without asking a word. Ming Chenyuan walked up to Weng Jiutong again, stepped on one of his hands that had been clamped with a stick, and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.

Weng Jiutong let out a miserable scream again, but Ming Chenyuan's face became even more ruthless: "Did you kill Jincheng?" ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Weng Jiutong had to admit it.

Ming Chenyuan's eyes were gloomy, full of killing intent: "Say!" Tell me what you've done! ”

Weng Jiutong moaned weakly: "My hand...... My hands hurt and I can't ...... words."

Ming Chenyuan raised his toes slightly, still stepping on his hands.

Weng Jiutong slowed down for a while before replying: "The princess once lent the king a large sum of money, all through my hands...... A few days ago, the princess went to Xuanji Palace to repair, and the king suspected that you had discovered something, so he asked me to ask about the situation. I...... Pretending to be a pilgrim, he went to talk to the princess and took away all the guards and maidservants...... Just as he was talking about the juncture, Liu Shangshu came......"

"How did he come?"

"Say yes...... said that he knew that the princess was cultivating in Xuanji Palace, and he came to see her. ”

"Then you're going to kill him?" Ming Chenyuan stepped on it again.

Weng Jiutong was no longer able to moan at this time, and his voice became more and more hoarse and weak: "No...... Although I do things for the king, I never harm anyone's life...... Kill him...... It was the princess's idea. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Ming Chenyuan was in disbelief, and his heart was angry: "Jincheng, she has a gentle temperament, how could she be murderous?" ”

"It's true," Weng Jiutong said as he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, "The princess is afraid that Liu Shangshu will spread this matter and harm her and the king, so she ...... So I tricked Liu Shangshu into a mountain stream and pretended to talk secretly, and then ...... him Kill him ......"

Speaking of this, Weng Jiutong was obviously running out of oil, his body twitched a few times, and his breath gradually weakened. Ming Chenyuan grabbed the placket of his clothes and asked angrily: "What about Jincheng?" Why did you kill her? Why spoil her? ”

But Weng Jiutong was obviously speechless, he was covered in blood and half lying on the ground, staring at Ming Chenyuan with wide eyes, and convulsed a few more times, and then lost his breath.

However, Ming Chenyuan was not dead yet, he still shook his body, and asked loudly: "Say!" Why did you kill Jincheng? Why kill her? ”

In the empty Dan Pharmacy, only an angry voice echoed, and finally it was silent. As long as he thought of what Weng Jiutong had done to Jincheng, Ming Chenyuan gritted his teeth for a while, eager to cut the corpse in front of him with a thousand knives!

The heat in the Dan pharmacy was overwhelming, and he was already sweating profusely, sweat dripping down his forehead and the corners of his eyes, stinging and swelling. This was the first time he had such a feeling since Jin Cheng's death, carrying Wei Nong on his back, carrying his subordinates on his back, in this strange place that was so stuffy that he was about to suffocate, he wanted to release his emotions wildly.

Is it crying? No! It's Khan! It's Khan! Ming Chenyuan touched the moist corners of his eyes, and looked at the water stains on his fingertips, and his entire palm trembled.

Sometimes loyalty and affection are too much to do! If Jincheng is still alive, if she is still alive......

Perhaps, he also had to give up on her.

Ming Chenyuan wiped away the sweat on his head, slowly stood up straight, and suddenly found that the huge alchemy furnace was just across his wall. A crazy thought suddenly occurred in his mind, so he grabbed one of Weng Jiutong's arms and dragged him to the alchemy furnace.

Then, he picked up his body and threw it hard.

The fire of the alchemy furnace continued day and night, and the entire furnace had already burned red, and as soon as Weng Jiutong's body was thrown in, he heard the sound of "sizzling", which had a cruel pleasant sound. Ming Chenyuan finally felt a little happier at this time, tidied up his robe, calmed his emotions, and slowly walked out of the Dan Pharmacy.

"Let's go!" He said to his silent men, and walked straight away.

The guards followed him for several years, and without asking a word, they immediately went into the house and started to move. Suddenly, the sound of the blade piercing the flesh and blood sounded one after another, accompanied by a muffled moan that would not shout, coming from behind Ming Chenyuan......
