The scorching heat is the most impetuous.

The cicadas outside were shouting whimper-whimper, adding fuel to the already mood.

In the dark house, the man on the throne couldn't see his true face, and only heard him ruthlessly say to Duan Honglin who was crawling on the ground: "I spent my time to let people bring you out of Jingzhou, and in less than half a year after entering Beijing, you not only gave me some feedback, but even helped me cut off a connection in the Ministry of Rites." ”

The voice sounded a little sombre, and he took a deep breath with some impatience.

"I'm not a philanthropist, Duan Honglin's words I asked you to pass on to you should be very clear, you can't pull people into the water, the child in your concubine's belly will go to hell with you."

"Don't, don't, don't, adults." Duan Honglin trembled when he heard this, and he wanted to climb a few steps forward.

But two guards beside the man stepped on his shoulders and prevented him from taking a step forward.

Duan Honglin didn't dare to raise his head, but his desire to survive told him not to go wrong at this time.

"My lord, my lord, I really found a little sign recently, it was the people in the family who dragged me back, if there was no family member, today would be the day I reported Pei Xingyuan!"

Duan Honglin shook his head like a rattle, and he still had the elegant appearance of his usual days.

"My lord gave me another chance, just once, this time I really found out a shocking event, if I succeed this time, not only Pei Xingyuan will be dragged into the water, but the prince can too."

The man on the throne raised his voice and let out an oh.

It seems that some interest has finally come.

Duan Honglin rubbed his hands frantically, trying to use this humble action to beg the mysterious adult on the throne to let him live and let his son live.

But the man on the main seat seemed to be very good at handling other people's courage, and he sneered, "I don't have the patience to give you another chance, half a year is already my bottom line." ”

Duan Honglin changed from rubbing his hands to kowtowing, and he said in a panicked tone: "I'll take my head as a guarantee, this matter involves so many people, as long as you do a little trickery, these people will be completely boneless." ”

His voice of supplication grew more and more urgent.

The man sitting on the throne was lost in thought, and in the dark cabin, he could only be heard tapping on the armrest.

I don't know how long it took, Duan Honglin, who was waiting, was about to fall into despair.

"Do you know what your situation is now, even if I really let you live, according to your current status in the capital, you are just an ant who can be crushed to death by someone at will."

The man is right, Duan Honglin now says that he can bring down Pei Xingyuan and the prince, which is too full.

He's not stupid.

Duan Honglin subconsciously wanted to raise his head to argue, but his movements were still not as fast as those subordinates, and his head was immediately pressed down mercilessly.

A dull sound sounded on the ground.

The man in the main seat sighed without emotion, and then laughed happily.

"Although I have no official position in the capital, Duan has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he should have accumulated a little bit of means and contacts.

"Really, if the adults believe me, let me go back this time, I will definitely give the adults a satisfactory result, even if they can't completely bring down Pei Xingyuan and the prince, but they can also be skinned."

Duan Honglin only felt dizzy in front of him, but in this dizzy state, his desire to survive made him blurt out these requests.

"How can I believe you, if I let you go and you are going to run away, then I am not the wronged man?"

The man debunked Duan Honglin's little pretense, and his little trick was not enough in his eyes.

Duan Honglin was suddenly speechless.

There was an eerie silence in the dark room, and the man sighed.

"It's better to kill you, it's a hidden danger to keep you sooner or later, and the dead are the safest."

As he spoke, the man stood up with his hands behind his back, and when Duan Honglin heard this, he hurriedly shouted in a panic: "Don't be an adult!" ”

"My lord, I really know about Pei Xingyuan and the prince, the investment in Jingzhou City that ruined many merchants, was promoted by Pei Xingyuan, if you can collect all the evidence and follow the vine, the prince will not be able to escape this matter."

As soon as he heard that his little life was going to be gone, Duan Honglin didn't dare to hide this secret at all, and said it all in a panic like pouring beans.

The man who stood up raised his eyebrows, he had heard a little about Jingzhou City's investment, but it had nothing to do with him, and he just listened to it at the beginning.

"Oh?" The man spoke thoughtfully.

——

Here Mi Xia Yao sat by the window with her chin in her hands, and the scorching heat outside had made her sideburns sweat a little.

Linglong is fanning her fan.

"Mrs. He of Dali Temple wants to invite me to a banquet? The other ladies in the capital can't avoid me, why do she still invite me to go. ”

Mi Xia Yao was bored and looked left and right at this ordinary invitation, and she felt a little novel.

Song Qiao was watching Mi Xiaobao recite the three-character scripture on the side, and she couldn't help but raise her head when she heard that her wife was puzzled about it.

"Madam, is it possible that a crushed camel is bigger than a horse?"

Mi Xia Yao sighed softly, and she glared back at Song Qiao with warm anger.

Linglong cautiously glanced at Sister Song Qiao, and then at Madame.

"Then ma'am, are you going to go to this banquet?" Song Qiao straightened his expression and began to be serious.

Mi Xia Yao took the invitation and fanned the wind, and turned her head to look not far away.

"Go ahead...... Anyway, I'm idle at home, so I'll go out and see more, and if I meet a nobleman again, I'll earn another connection. ”

This thought finally convinced me.

Linglong received Mi Xia Yao's new errand here, and turned her head to dress up for the day of the banquet.

Everyone in the room seemed to be busy, and the most idle person sat by the window, holding his head and looking at everyone, and gradually his mind couldn't help but drift out.

Recently, because she was busy laying the groundwork for that entertainment venue, she has been in the study recently.

Song Qiao didn't intend to look up, and saw the rare dull gaze of the lady in her family, staring at the ground with a sloppy look.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Master Pei has not heard from him recently?"

She just wanted to mention something.

Mi Xia Yao moved her eyelids slightly, and glanced at the big girl who was particularly cheap today.

"What news do you want?" She came to her senses and began to quarrel with Song Qiao.

Song Qiao'er became more bold, she raised her chin and snorted, "It's not that I want news, obviously the slave wants to know Master Pei when she sees Mrs. Pei's expression." ”
