[642] Extinguishing the mouth
As soon as the words were finished, the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had already locked their shackles. And Hu Lan and the other Qingqiu Fox Kingdom envoys also looked at Xiao Shizhu with suspicious eyes.
An unusually clear "click" sound sounded from in front of Tu Gongqi's neck, echoing around the beam in the air solidified and unusually silent Yin Yuan Hall.
The ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom only know how to obey orders, where can they manage so much, let alone listen to what Tu Gongqi says, they have already locked the shackles neatly.
However, Tu Gongqi's calm and calm words are invisibly tantamount to opposing Xiao Shizhu's army; if Xiao Shizhu can't come up with any evidence to prove that Tu Gongqi was at fault in the first place, it is that Xiao Shizhu is sabotaging the peace between the two countries. At the negotiation table of Ming'er, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can open its mouth confidently.
It's just that Tu Gongqi, the old man, is really unqualified, and he doesn't understand his son-in-law at all. How did he know that his son-in-law was waiting for his words. As early as after the arrest of Yanchen, Xiao Shizhu had expected that when Tu Gongqi's charges were announced, the other party would give him such a hand.
I saw Tu Yaoqing hanging her head in shame, as if she was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. And Xiao Shizhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly under the suspicious gaze of the ghosts of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom Mission, revealing a smile.
"Bring it on!" The next second later, Xiao Shizhu said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clattering sound of chains colliding outside the hall. The ghosts fled to the prestige, and two Xuanjiao disciples walked in from outside the main hall with a female ghost with iron shackles on their hands and feet, with a blank expression and a pale face, wearing plain white prison clothes with the word Dou Da written on their chests.
Hu Lan and Tu Gongqi looked at it fixedly, and they both recognized that the ghost was Tu Yaoqing's other maidservant, Yanluo, who had married here from Qingqiu Country with Tu Yaoqing along with Yanchen.
is also a helper who cooperated with the smoke and dust to carry out the assassination operation against Xiao Fuling. On that day, the smoke and dust were poisoned in Xiao Poria tea, and it was this female ghost who gave her the wind on the side.
When the Nine Shadows Kingdom Investigation Division and the Evil Punishment Division arrived at the Thousand Rides Palace, they took away the smoke and dust and took her away.
Yanchen was immediately executed after being convicted, but Xiao Shizhu was a ghost who did things without leaking, and he kept Yanchen's accomplice in case Tu Gongqi rebelled against his own army, so that it would come in handy.
"Let's talk about it, who sent you to follow the fox into the palace and assassinate my daughter?" When Tu Gongqi looked at the smoke standing in the main hall, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, Xiao Shizhu opened his mouth and slowly asked the smoke, "What is the purpose?"
Lately, this smoker has been imprisoned in the Division of Punishment. She has basically tasted the torture of assassins in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Several of them were invented by Xiao Shizhu himself, such as piercing the soles of her feet with a thumbtack, making her stand among the pebbles laid on the ground.
This kind of torture is most vivid in Yanluo's memory, and the pain in the soles of her feet and the helplessness of not being able to remove the thumbtacks almost make her faint.
The bloodless pale face of this smoker was the result of the recent torture.
Tu Gongqi never expected that Yanluo would appear again as such a prisoner, and his heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he couldn't help but think that Yanchen was only afraid that it would be more auspicious, so he felt anxious in his heart.
Under Tu Gongqi's gaze, Smoke wanted to harden his mouth and take all the crimes on himself, but he felt palpitations when he recalled the punishment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. And the Investigation Division and the Punishment Division of the Nine Shadows Kingdom have already mastered the exact evidence, and she is pale if she wants to quibble.
So when Xiao Shizhu's question floated in, the slightly lowered smoke slowly raised his head, glanced at Tu Gongqi on the side, and said weakly to everyone present: "It is a secret order given by Lord Tu himself, the purpose is to make the future children of the Nine Shadow Kings can only be the Nine Shadow Kings and the Fox Ji Niangniang, and Lord Tu can secretly control the Nine Shadows Kingdom as the head of the country." ”。
With that, the smoke lowered his head again.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar when the hall was ascended.
A second ago, they all looked at Xiao Shizhu's Qingqiu Fox Kingdom Mission with suspicious and suspicious eyes, and they also turned their heads in an uproar, and converged on Tu Gongqi's body with incredible eyes.
"Is it really you?" Hu Lan on the side blurted out to Tu Gongqi.
"Devil Envoy, please take a look at these things. After Xiao Shizhu made a look, Lei Yun, who stood up, walked in front of Hu Lan with Qiu Sheng, and took out the memory narrative of Yanchen and Yanluo's confession from his sleeve, and of course, the poison bottle that Yanchen threw away but was picked up by Fan Jinhong.
Hu Lan took a closer look at Yanchen's memory narrative and Yanliu's confession, and when he looked at the poison medicine bottle, he was already shocked, and hot sweat continued to ooze from his forehead and face, which did not have fox hair, so that he had to raise his hand and keep wiping the sweat beads on his forehead and face.
All the evidence records Tu Gongqi's crimes, and it also proves that Xiao Shizhu did not make up an empty story to frame Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
"This secret order for assassination won't also have a 'credit' from the Qingqiu Fox King. And at this moment, Xiao Shizhu struck while the iron was hot, and he seemed to smile and come to such a question, which made the fox Lan feel even more frightened.
"No, it really has nothing to do with my brother, and I only found out about it today. In the face of ironclad evidence, Hu Lan hurriedly waved his hand, defending himself for his brother Qingqiu Fox King, and for Qingqiu Fox Kingdom: "And Qingqiu Fox Country is sincerely cooperating with your country, and my brother will never dare to do such a thing that violates Yang and Yin; ”。
When exonerating himself and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, Hu Lan did not forget to say a few good words for Tu Gongqi.
"Okay, I'll trust you for once. After Xiao Shizhu groaned for a while, he said categorically to Hu Lan, who was still wiping his sweat, and said: "I will let him copy a copy of all the evidence, and before you arrive at Yuque City, it has been sent to your country, and you will get a reply from the Qingqiu Fox King soon; ”。
"The peace talks continue, but Tu Gongqi must be locked up by our country first. Xiao Shizhu, who had the upper hand, did not give Hu Lan any chance to refute: "Otherwise, please go back, you can take Tu Gongqi away, but in the near future, I will personally lead my troops to Dongying Continent to get his ghost head." ”。
As soon as these words came out, Hu Lan and Tu Gongqi trembled, and Tu Gongqi regretted it even more, regretting that he shouldn't provoke Xiao Shizhu, in a word, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't die. Tu Gongqi hurriedly looked at his daughter Tu Yaoqing with a begging and extravagant gaze, like a person who had fallen into the water seeing a life-saving straw.
Tu Gongqi's gaze this time was no longer as if he had jumped over an obstacle, but was fixed on his daughter, who was begging for help, hoping that his daughter would open her mouth and beg Xiao Shizhu.
Unexpectedly, Tu Yaoqing, who had been hanging her head with shame on her face, looked up after a while, and when she met her father's eyes, her eyes were already full of tears; the next second, Tu Yaoqing opened her lips, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but gush out, and she also asked a sentence between her lips and teeth: "Why? Father, why did you do such a thing?"
This is what Tu Yaoqing has been trying to ask her father after the incident. Why did her father let her act as a cover for realizing her selfish desires, this has always puzzled Tu Yaoqing.
Tu Gongqi was like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned when he landed. The daughter's question was full of disappointment, disappointment with him. Tu Gongqi immediately understood, and his daughter also knew the cause and effect of this incident.
Tu Gongqi was even more desperate, but after a while, he still recovered from his stunned and desperate eyes, lowered his head slightly to avoid his daughter's gaze, and whispered his true thoughts: "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves." ”。
This is not only Tu Gongqi's answer to his daughter, but also the first time that he generously admitted his crime with these eight words.
The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and in front of him, Tu Gongqi gave up all sophistry.
"King Jiuyou, you take him in first, I have no objection, and presumably my brother will not have any objection. At the same time, Hu Lan also lowered her head in shame and slowly replied to Xiao Shizhu.
This is Hu Lan's decision after careful consideration, if the Nine Shadows Kingdom is not allowed to imprison Tu Gongqi, then the peace talks and the peace between the two countries will end here, not to mention that Tu Gongqi is really at fault first, and Hu Lan has no choice but to kill his relatives in righteousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Lan, who was disappointed, slowly closed his eyes, unwilling to look at Tu Gongqi again. For him and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the current Tu Gongqi is not a capable minister, but a sinner.
Hu Lan no longer wanted to offend the Allies for the sake of a sinner.
"Okay, peace talks continue. Xiao Shizhu stood up and glanced at his father-in-law, his eyes were still full of disgust: "My father-in-law, although I don't want to admit that you will be my father-in-law who sacrifices her daughter for your own selfish desires and sacrifices her daughter to let her woman follow her on adventures, but I still have to face the reality." For the sake of your father-in-law, I will arrange a separate cell for you in the dungeon of the Punishment Division......!"
In Fenglin Continent, in Xuanyuan City. Tae-bong was once again shackled in a large mahogany and thrown into a heavily guarded hut.
Tae-bong sat in the dark room, his face full of disappointment.
Taifeng was disappointed with the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu for the first time. The Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu in his eyes were just like what he saw in front of him at this time, they were all boundless darkness.
And in the midst of disappointment, Taifeng didn't want to continue to live. He hoped that the ghost would be over at this point. However, the shackles of the big peach wood took away most of his strength, and completely sealed his ghost qi, so that he couldn't even bite his tongue and kill himself.
I had to sit alone in this dark hut, secretly lost.
Just when Taifeng was extremely disappointed, an exclamation suddenly sounded outside the house: "What person?" The stunned Taifeng came to his senses, and heard a muffled grunt and soft screams outside the house, as well as a thin sound similar to the howling of the strong wind, mixed in.
What followed was the muffled sound of something falling to the ground.
As soon as Tai Feng heard these noisy sounds, and saw through the crack in the door, he saw the cold light that flashed like lightning from time to time outside the house, and he knew that the whistling sound like a strong wind was the sound of waving a sword. But judging from the fact that the soldiers guarding this place just asked, "Who is it?" and there were no other sounds other than muffled snorts and soft shouts, and there was not even the sound of weapons colliding, it can be seen that the ghosts are all masters.
If you don't make a move, once you make a move, it will be fatal, and you won't give the opponent a chance to fight back and call for help.
After thinking about it for a while, Taifeng thought of the ghost who was slaughtering the guards outside the door, could it be that the second general Ganliu was sent to kill Taifeng.
After all, Taifeng was really wronged, and if the second general Gan Liu was the initiator of wronging him, he would not have allowed him to arrive in the Six Heavens Continent alive.
Thinking of this, Tai Feng sighed softly, slowly closed his eyes, and he didn't plan to do anything to resist, so he said softly in his mouth: "That's it, so be it." ”。
