Liu Zhi frowned and glanced at him, originally he didn't want to pay attention to it, but seeing that his expression was very uneasy, there was a faint anxiety in his eyes.

Curious for a moment, he asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Surprise flashed in the man's eyes when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I am a disciple of Hu Tuo, and I also know that he has committed a taboo by mutilating his fellow disciples, but he is really fascinated for a while.

Please be gracious to your majesty and give him a good time. ”

"Hu Tuo?"

Yes, when he entered the West Garden Office Building to steal the fake jade seal, he was greedy for heaven's merits, and his jealousy became crazy and wanted to kill Su Xiaoshou.

I almost delayed the big thing, not to mention, and I also committed the first precept of stealing the door for thousands of years, and you must not kill each other.

Since then, he has been very busy, and it is impossible to ask about such a small matter, isn't there Yang Jian, the master of the door and the general of Long Linwei Zuo Zhonglang.

"What do you think is wrong with him now?"

According to Liu Zhi's guess, most of them were to be executed, could he have guessed wrong?

"Master, he...... Now in the water prison of the dark hell, life is worse than death every day, I ...... I can't stand it anymore...... Woowoo woo ......"

It looks like a burly strong man, but he actually cried like a child, which is moving.

The Dark Prison is a newly built prison built by Long Linwei on the other side of the city, and it is said that people who have been there are reluctant to mention it again in their lives.

"The water prison is full of poisonous water, and the skin and flesh will rot when it is touched, and the master is no longer like a human or a ghost, but he can't die......"

Murder is not a nod to the head, Hu Tuo did commit a felony, but this punishment is cruel enough.

Although he disagrees with it in his heart, as an emperor, he doesn't need to be suspicious, he doesn't doubt it, as long as it is not a matter of principle, he will never interfere with other trivial matters.

This shopkeeper, who crossed his immediate boss and ran to him to intercede, had actually exceeded his duty.

Liu Zhi's gaze began to turn cold, and he said impatiently, "This kind of thing, you should go directly to Yang Jian." ”

"I know I shouldn't speak, but I've begged many times, and the owner of the door is iron-faced and selfless......"

Seeing that Liu Zhi was obviously impatient, he couldn't help but feel a burst of despair in his heart, and immediately grabbed the ground with his head and made a "bang" sound.

Only two times, there was already blood on his forehead, and his voice was full of poignant.

"I am willing to be punished by the water prison on behalf of the master, and I ask Your Majesty to be gracious."

Liu Zhi, who had already stood up, couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard his desperate shouts. Hu Tuo doesn't look very good, and he can't imagine that there are still people willing to die for him.

He looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Are you really willing to take his place?" ”

"A certain orphan, the master treats me like a father and son, and I am willing to repay the grace of nurturing and giving industry."

The man replied resolutely, his expression full of determination.

"Okay, remember your words today, if you can't do it, then accompany your master to sin one more degree."

Liu Zhi's eyes were cold, and his tone was full of majesty.

"No, I will never break my word."

Although his face was bleeding and he looked embarrassed, he still showed a relieved smile when he saw Liu Zhi's promise.

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he walked straight out of the door, and the man was still behind him and kowtowed respectfully to him.

After leaving the used book shop, Liu Zhi went to the Nandun Marquis Mansion and instructed Fan Chao to call Yang Jian over.

On the way, he met Deng Yan, who had finished sending Yang Yi, and walked in the same car.

"Your Majesty, today's matter is indeed that I am too abrupt, it seems that I will have to think twice before acting in the future."

Although Deng Yan is young, his personality is not impulsive, and he rarely has such a reckless time.

Liu Zhi glanced at him, "You won't deliberately take the opportunity to test it and see what the character of this fiancée is, right?" ”

"Hehe~ Your Majesty still understands me."

Deng Yan gave him a tacit look.

This guy knows that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and there are too many eyes, so he is surprised, if he finds that Yang Yi is not satisfied, will he dare to withdraw from the marriage.

As soon as he arrived at the Nandun Hou Mansion, Yang Jian also arrived.

"I came to you today to ask you to help me find a few dead soldiers."

Yang Jian is doing the work of collecting news, and now that something has happened under his hands, someone has already rushed to report it.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Zhi opened his mouth, he knew that he was here for Hu Tuo.

"There are bandits rampant in Taishan County, and I want to find a few good dead soldiers to assassinate their thieves and spy on the news."

Yang Jian already knew about the bandits in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou, but this was not within his scope of responsibility, so he ignored it.

But the bandit leaders Dongguo Dou and Gongsun Ju are both outlaws, ruthless, and if they do fine work, they are basically nine deaths.

The present dynasty has always had a tradition of using death row prisoners to be guests, so this idea did not pardon Hu Tuo's sins.

It's just that it gave him a glimmer of life and an extra chance to make meritorious contributions.

As for whether he can complete the mission and come back alive, it depends on his luck.

"No, the minister will arrange it."

"Well, go ahead."

Liu Zhi didn't say much, some things just knew by heart, and when he said it, it changed his taste.

Long Linwei belonged to a secret organization, and although there was a yamen in the imperial city, its real location was hidden in a residential area in the city.

The front door is a warehouse, business is booming, there are a large number of merchants and men coming and going every day, and the whole alley behind has been bought, all of which are Long Linwei's territory.

The Hell is hidden deep underground, and the light of day is not seen.

Yang Jian went down in person and walked through a gloomy and terrifying torture room, which was empty, and the scene that was full of Liang Ji before was simply two extremes.

The deepest part of the hell is the water dungeon that makes people smell and change their colors.

With the sound of chains, in the pitch-black and filthy poisonous water, a black figure that was no longer humanoid raised its head.

The man's clothes were ragged, almost torn into strips, and the skin from the waist down was all festering and pus, and even many maggots were writhing with the naked eye.

His face was also swollen, making it impossible to distinguish his true face.

"The ...... of the Doorman"

Yang Jian looked at him silently for a while, and a gleam flashed in the eyes of the yin owl.

"Your good disciple Xin Xin, on your own initiative, ran to your majesty to intercede, wanting me to give you a good time."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Hu Tuo's numb eyes, and he looked at him eagerly.

"What? You just want to die? ”

Yang Jian looked at him mockingly, "Xin Xin is willing to use himself to suffer the punishment on your behalf, and Your Majesty has also been moved by compassion because of this." ”

What do you mean?

Hu Tuo couldn't believe his ears at all.

Yang Jian smiled coldly, "Are you willing to go to death and assassinate the leader of the Qingzhou bandits?" ”

Things are man-made, even if it is death, it is not necessarily certain death.

But no matter what, even if it is to be sent to death, it is better than suffering this endless living sin here, there is only one chance, and he agreed without hesitation.

"I do."

"Okay, I'll have someone treat you immediately, if you escape or can't complete the task, Xin Xin will come and take you into the water prison, you can do it yourself."

The coldness of Yang Jian's gaze made Hu Tuo shudder, Xin'er He was already his only concern, and that was something more terrible than letting him die.
