37. You can't rest without asking

Shangguan Tianlin was whipped twice, and the pain was unbearable.

The soft whip is slender and long, the surface is wrapped with spikes, and it is soaked in salt water, and it hurts to drill the heart on the body! He clenched his teeth in a cold sweat, and endured the bruises before swallowing the words begging for mercy in his throat.

"The bones are hard." The short man sneered coldly, slapped his face with the handle of the soft whip, and said in a tone that everything was negotiable: "As for me, I just want you to obediently confess to the crime, write down the reputation of the prescription, and swear that you will not sell it again in the future."

Why are we here, aren't we? ”

Although Shangguan Tianlin is a bastard who can't stand things, he can still have a clear brain at the critical moment, and confessing is tantamount to admitting guilt, not only his own life, but also his father's official fortune will be implicated!

He wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing.

I made up my mind to pay attention, and refused to say anything about life or death.

This can annoy the short man, and the intention of the two whips to shock him is to collect fifty percent of his strength, after all, he is a pampered noble son, if he uses all his strength to whip, it is unknown if he faints directly.

"Do you really plead guilty? I've got a way to get you to speak. With that, he ordered his men to bring up a square box made of dark iron.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, there were nearly 100 steel needles neatly stacked inside, each steel needle was about a finger long, exuding a strong and foul smell of blood, and it was not the first time it had been taken out and used!

"Toast, don't eat, eat and drink." The short man said angrily, his eyes sharpened: "Come on, open his mouth for me and let him swallow it all." Let's see if it's his hard mouth, or if it's this steel needle, it's harder! ”

The hard steel spikes were densely arranged, and Shangguan Tianlin saw that his heart was in a state of arrest, and he subconsciously stopped breathing. The two servants stood aside and pulled his jaw apart with a strong movement, and several steel needles approached him and pierced his throat, the sharp ends of which still glowed with a faint cold light.

Shangguan Tianlin's eyes were split, and he struggled fiercely!

"Wait!" At this critical juncture, a small cell boss ran over panting, "Fu Yin has an order to escort people to the court pending trial." ”

The short man snorted in displeasure: "What kind of bird, don't you see that I'm in a critical time here?" Let's wait a quarter of an hour! ”

The little cell leader's expression changed slightly, and he said in a panic: "I'm afraid I can't, the person who died of poisoning Yu Xiaozuo has been escorted to the court, and Lord Yin ordered me to bring Shangguan Tianlin to confront him. ”

Bad dish!

The short man slapped his head, why didn't Yu Xiaozuo die?

Shangguan Tianlin's chest rose and fell, panting heavily, secretly glad that he had survived the disaster.

Xiao Zi didn't throw people at the door of the yamen, he didn't go in, but he didn't go far, he had to make sure that Yu Xiaozuo went in obediently.

In the public court, Yu Xiaozuo, the person who was "poisoned to death", knelt under the hall unharmed at the moment, and he burst into tears, confessing to his crime of slandering others and collecting a hundred taels of silver.

"The villain is a trick in the hundred opera class, a few days ago, a black-clothed masked man found the villain, let the villain play a fake death play, after the matter is completed, the villain will be sealed with five hundred taels of silver, the villain was blinded by lard for a while, and he agreed without resisting the temptation, so that Shangguan Gongzi was innocently imprisoned, and the villain really regretted not being at the beginning!" As soon as the words fell, he knelt in front of Shangguan Tianlin and kowtowed three times.

Kaifeng Mansion Yin was shocked: "Do you recognize the person looking for you?" ”

"He was masked, and the villain didn't see clearly."

"Where is the physical evidence?"

"Physical evidence...... What are the five hundred taels of silver?

This morning was squandered by the villain, you can send someone to the Ruyi gambling house to inquire, the villain will never dare to deceive and coax the adult! ”

Speaking of which, Yu Xiaozuo began to jerk himself again, regretting that he almost didn't put his life into it for the sake of these silvers!

"Can you see the appearance of the man who paid you?"

"The villain kept an eye on it, and asked the man to put the silver in the designated bank, and only after the villain disguised himself did he dare to go to the money bank to get it, but he didn't see anyone."

If I had shown my face at that time, I am afraid that I would have become a corpse by now.

"When the villain got the silver, he dragged his family and moved to Jing County, but he didn't expect them to be so fast, and it took just a few days to find me."

The truth of the matter was revealed, and Shangguan Tianlin, who was innocently victimized and suffered a little, was released on the spot.

Shangguan and his wife were already waiting at the door, and when they saw him staggering out, their eyes were red, and Tianyun was also guilty, lowering his eyes to cover the tears under his eyes, but Tianlin was still keenly aware of her emotions.

He weakly reached out and touched her head as a sign of reassurance.

"Brother is fine." The bitter cold for days made him very haggard, his lips were chapped and skinned, and his voice was a little weak, but fortunately he escaped from the tiger's mouth.

If it's my sister in it, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it anymore.

"Do you see the fish tank next to my desk?" Xiao Zi Bujinjie's fingers tapped on the table.

Now, as soon as he returns to the dormitory, he wants to see if the three little fry with their tails swinging and spitting bubbles are okay, and he has developed a habit. Today is the day of the water change, and he guesses that he should take the water change away, so he has this question.

Unexpectedly, he often hesitated for a while, and his eyes dodged.

"Huh?" Xiao Zi didn't see that his expression was wrong.

"Temple... Your Highness, the slave cleaned the study yesterday, and the fish bowl was overturned, and the fish couldn't stand the pressure... All of them fell to their deaths. Stunned by His Highness's cold eyes, he snorted and lied incoherently.

Xiao Zi Bei's eyes shrank, and the cold air emitted from his body was more infiltrating than this cold winter rain and snow! He asked without warmth, "Where is the body?" ”

Chang Xiang knelt on the ground violently and said with a crying voice: "Your Highness, don't care about that fish!" Shangguan girl is a heartless person, and she will marry into Yuqing Palace as a concubine in the near future, this is what she said to the slave herself this morning, and the slave dare not have half a lie! "He is not worthy for His Royal Highness, and he is also angry for Shangguan Tianyun's ruthlessness.

Get married?

How?

Xiao Zi should not be obscure in his heart.

He has been sleepless for several days, and after finding out the news, he rushed thousands of miles, and caught Xiaozuo from Jing County, and met the masked man on the way to experience a life-and-death fight, and he was already exhausted, but he just held on to his spirits and came to see if Xiao Yu'er was okay.

Now I am stabbed by this news.

He took a few steps back, and with a splitting headache, he propped his palms heavily on the desk.

A few days ago, she threw herself into her arms, like a cute cat, sobbing pitifully, which made him at a loss and secretly happy.

But now, she actually said that she was going to marry Xiao Ziyan?

Didn't she hate Xiao Ziyan?

Even Xiao Ziyan's fall from the horse was planned by her!

What she did, what is true and what is false?

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Chang Xiang stood up in a hurry, obviously his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he had to toss something: "What you should do now is to rest!" ”

"I'm going to ask her about it."

"Such a merciless person, what else is Your Highness looking for her?!"

"Don't say that about her again." Xiao Zi didn't think about it, and he knew that what he said about the fish was dead was a lie, "Quickly release the fish back to its original position, if I haven't seen it when I return to the palace, you will go to the Shen Penal Division to receive the punishment." ”

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from His Highness, he reluctantly responded: "Yes." Or compromised, "You have a night's rest, and it's not too late to go to her tomorrow?" ”

Xiao Zibei went around to the cabinet, took out the human statue that had been carved a few days ago, and gently rubbed the beautiful eyebrows and eyes on the wood carving, and his tired body and mind finally relaxed a little.

He stared quietly for a moment before retracting the cabinet and said sullenly, "I can't rest without asking." ”

Chang had never seen His Highness before, and when he spoke so violently, he frowned and sighed.

"Alas......"

I could only watch His Highness drag the tired figure away quickly.
