Yindu, the prime minister's mansion.

Ning Feng got up and thought about it: "Father-in-law, the affairs of Jiangbei Town are a bit rushed, but it will do more harm than good to get rid of the Wu family's big trouble. ”

"Otherwise, after the incident in Jiangbei Town, His Majesty has already set his sights on Xiaochuan, although Wu Daoxiong has been eliminated, but who knows how many chess pieces the Zhongfu has planted in the imperial court, this matter is not so simple." Guan Zhongxian frowned and said, "Miss Nie, tell your uncle about Xiaochuan's plan." ”

"Yes......" Nie Hongyi arched his hand and said all of Ning Xiaochuan's plan 1510.

Ning Feng was greatly surprised when he heard this, and his brows furrowed, "This is too risky, he is gambling." ”

"Therefore, the old man and Master Xue stopped your brother and asked him to be wronged in the prison of the Criminal Department for a few days, and when the matter is clarified, they will let him out, and it will be safer at that time." Guan Zhongxian said as he stroked his beard.

At this moment, Ning Feng understood why Guan Zhongxian and Xue Xun would appear at the scene of the killing, and then arched his hand, "I see, those killers are originally people from the Jiangnan Gongsun family, and when the time comes, they can fool this matter with a casual prevarication, so as not to offend the queen, but also to acquit Xiaochuan." ”

"Yes, the queen is narrow-minded, once people can't be used by her, then she will definitely be destroyed, she is a ruthless character." Guan Zhongxian said silently, "But if Ning Xiaochuan leaves Yindu, I'm afraid that the Gongsun family won't let him go, have you ever thought about this?" ”

"Now the situation is critical, the affairs of the two princes are already in trouble, in comparison, the Gongsun family is still second, father-in-law, there is one more thing, this Yang Zhaoxian still has to be investigated, the person who can make Xiaochuan so risky must have some ability." Ning Feng frowned and said.

"The old man has already arranged for someone to check, but according to the situation at the time, they are not familiar with each other, and they even have a holiday."

"That's even more interesting, let a person who has a holiday take him away, and then find out the identity of the man in black to prove his innocence, dare to take this risk? I can't even understand my brother. Ning Feng laughed at himself.

"Hahaha."

Guan Zhongxian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The person who can make you so relieved to hand over the fate of the Ning family must be extraordinary, but I pity my in-laws, and they are still in the dark." ”

"My father can't help himself, and you know his temper, the affairs of Zhongfu have been like that after letting him know, if he knows about our brothers, then he won't be even more angry." Ning Feng sighed.

"Also, I have been loyal all my life, but I didn't expect to be treated like this." Guan Zhongxian sighed, "Okay, the matter has been explained clearly, what are your plans next?" ”

"Watch Xiaochuan leave Yindu safely." Ning Feng smiled indifferently.

Guan Zhongxian nodded, looked at Ning Feng, and the corners of his mouth curled, "I'm afraid that this Yin will not be easy to come out." ”

……

Although the prison of the Criminal Department, located in the city of Yindu, is not as terrible as the prison prison, but its methods of extorting confessions have also made many people frightened, and there are countless tortures such as cannon branding, needle bed, face washing, and so on.

The horror of the prison prison is that you can't get out after entering, and the horror of the prison is the torture.

Ning Xiaochuan sat cross-legged, the first time he came to the prison, he was still a little uncomfortable, the dark and damp dungeon and the foul smell made him feel like vomiting since he came in, only meditating on luck and holding his breath could alleviate one or two.

At this moment, he frowned, everything was according to his own plan, but he never thought that he would kill Guan Zhongxian and Xue Xun halfway, so that he came to the criminal department inexplicably.

If he was taken to the Protectorate by Yang Zhaoyan, Yang Zhaoyan's upright temper would definitely be investigated to the end, and once it was found out that these three people were assassins and deserved their crimes, then he would be acquitted.

In Yang Zhaoyan's eyes, Ning Xiaochuan is a gentleman, so in order to make Ning Xiaochuan lie on the desk, he will definitely knock the identities of these black-clothed people and find out that they are sooner or later.

It is this Yang Zhaoxi who will not announce his personal vendetta Ning Xiaochuan does not dare to guarantee, so this is also the only flaw in his plan, and it is also the most fatal flaw, he is gambling, betting on Yang Zhaoxi's character, and the price is his own life.

However, the reason why Ning Xiaochuan dared to bet was because Yang Zhaoyan said that he had some relationship with the Ning family, so he dared to bet.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaochuan sighed, now the situation is different, he is locked up here, who knows if there is a second prince in the Criminal Department, he doesn't dare to bet at all.

"It's really unlucky, why did you bump into Grandpa Guan and Xue Shangshu at this time, hey, ......" Ning Xiaochuan said with annoyance, it was really a hundred secrets.

Now he has no choice at all, he can only hope that Guan Zhongxian can let himself go for the sake of the two in-laws.

"Ahem, young man, young man......" Ning Xiaochuan, who had just finished complaining, suddenly heard a weak old man shouting from next door.

The dungeon was extremely dim, and Ning Xiaochuan looked at the dungeon next door, "Are you calling me?" ”

"Yes, young man, which son of the family are you, what did you do to put you in the prison of the Criminal Department?" A sloppy and sloppy old man appeared in front of Ning Xiaochuan, although it was separated by an iron fence, Ning Xiaochuan could still smell the stench coming from the old man's body.

"Who are you, besides, I don't know you, why should I tell you who I am." Ning Xiaochuan frowned and said, holding his breath and concentrating, otherwise he would almost be smoked and vomited.

"Hahaha, the lad is quite interesting." The old man leaned against the iron railing, his tattered clothes no longer covering his bony body.

His body was full of scars, and some of the injuries had pus, the old man's eyeballs bulged, he stretched out his hands and fiddled with his long hair, and slowly spoke, "The identity of the old man can't tell you, but the old man doesn't look like a big traitor, why did you come here?" ”

"I can't tell me, that's a coincidence, and I can't tell you, as for why I'm here, Young Master Ben will satisfy your curiosity." The corners of Ning Xiaochuan's mouth rose, "Kill people on the street." ”

"When you kill someone, you don't send it to the capital protection mansion but to the criminal department, young man, your identity is not ordinary, you must be after a high-ranking official and nobleman." The old man said with amusement.

"You old man, you can guess." Ning Xiaochuan became interested, stopped meditating, and cautiously approached the old man, "Then guess which official I belong to?" ”

"It's hard for you to be an old man, there are so many officials in Yindu, the old man can't guess." The old man said with a smile.

"Cut, how good you are." Ning Xiaochuan leaned on the railing and sighed with some emotion, "It's hard to get out when you come in." ”

"It's hard, young man, why are you killing people in the street? Is there a feud or what? The old man could not sit idle, and began to ask again.

Ning Xiaochuan turned around impatiently, "We don't know each other, why do you have so many questions, besides, why did I tell you?" ”

"The old man hasn't spoken to anyone for half a year, you are here, the old man is excited, and this is naturally more talking." The old man said with a haha.

"Half a year? How long have you been here? Ning Xiaochuan asked curiously.

"It's been two or three years...... the old man thought for a moment and said slowly.

"That's not right, the Criminal Department only has the qualifications for arraignment, aren't all prisoners being prisoners? How did you stay locked up here for so long? Ning Xiaochuan was even more strange, "Who are you?" ”

"I can't tell you who I am, even if I say it, you don't believe it, don't worry about it so much, just talk to the old man." The old man said helplessly.

"Blame the old man." Ning Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you say, what are we going to say?" ”

"Why are you locked in?"

"Killing people in the street."

"Why do you kill people in the street?"

"Revenge of the enemy."

"How did you make a feud? Are there many enemies? ”

“……”

"Why didn't you say it, young man?"

"Why are you chatting like this, why are there so many questions......

……

Palace.

Today the day was gloomy, and the evening was exceptionally cool, even a little chilly.

Gao Zhen sat on the terrace, enjoying the rare coolness, closing his eyes, and letting the wind blow like this, so comfortable.

"Your Majesty, Ning Xiaochuan was imprisoned in the Criminal Department by Xue Shangshu for killing people in the street." Han Zhongxuan's feminine voice sounded in Gao Zhen's ears.

"Is there any movement on the Queen's side?" Gao Zhen asked unhurriedly.

"Not yet."

"The Gongsun family is really a waste, the killers sent out can't even kill a child, and they are being killed by others, this face is really embarrassing." Gao Zhen shook his head and sighed.

"They were all calculated by Ning Xiaochuan, the location of this assassination was chosen on the main street in the north of the city, you must know that street is the only way to enter and exit the palace, it was noon, and it happened that Wei Yulou passed by ......" Han Zhongxuan said slowly, Gao Zhen, who heard this, suddenly sat up and looked at Han Zhongxuan.

"No wonder, it turned out to be Wei Yulou...... Gao Zhen said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Wei Yulou has dealings with the Ning family?" ”

"Probably not, according to the situation at the time, Wei Yulou just happened to pass by, and left straight after making a move, ignoring Ning Xiaochuan and not dealing with the Ning family...... Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said.

"In this way, it was indeed killed by Ning Xiaochuan with a knife." Gao Zhen got up, drank a cup of tea, took a sip and frowned, "It's cold." ”

"The old slave will bring you tea." After hearing this, Han Zhongxuan hurriedly carried the teapot to help Gao Zhen change the tea.

"Then what's going on with Xue Xun and Guan Zhongxian, they were also calculated?" Gao Zhen frowned and said, "The relationship between the Guan family and the Ning family is not ordinary. ”

"At that time, just after the early dynasty, Prime Minister Guan Cheng and Lord Xue left together, and Wei Yulou one after the other, so it seems that it should be a coincidence......

"So many coincidences?" Gao Zhen took a sip of tea and looked at Han Zhongxuan with some strangeness, "Father-in-law Han, this coincidence is a coincidence once, and it is a little strange twice." ”

"Having said that, it's just that even if Prime Minister Guan is up for discussion, Lord Xue, Your Majesty, you know better than the old slave that he won't have a problem...... Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said.

Gao Zhen thought about it carefully, it was true, and leaned back in the chair, "You go and tell Lord Xue, you can check it a little, let Ning Xiaochuan go, for Ning Xiaochuan, it is not worth tearing his face with the Gongsun family now." ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys." Han Zhongxuan replied.

"By the way, how is Hu Tongxun." Gao Zhen continued to ask.

"I was imprisoned for a month, but I still refused to admit that I had colluded with King Anxi, and I used coercion and temptation, so I was about to be tortured."

Gao Zhen smiled and waved his hand, "Interesting, doesn't the prince want to cultivate his own strength, you go down and make arrangements, I will give him this opportunity." ”

"The old slave leads the ......," Han Zhongxuan retreated.

Gao Zhen sighed, the dark clouds covered the moon, and the sky above his head was pitch black, "I, I'm getting old." ”
