Volume 1: The Smoke Sacrifice Chapter 48 Punishment

Xie Wuyi's eyebrows moved, and just as he was about to go out, his arm was grabbed by Xie Xuan. Xie Wuyi turned his head and saw a faint worry in his eyes.

"Do you want me to go looking for King Yan?"

Xie Wuyi was silent for a moment and walked quickly to the courtyard. She had to stop the people of the Imperial Observatory and not let them enter the Xie Mansion.

He Maoliang's people had already surrounded Xie Futuan, and this formation made the people watching the excitement block the streets and alleys, and those who didn't know thought it was Jinke Zhuangyuan who was parading the streets.

Xie Wuyi walked to the front and said with a calm smile: "Lord He, is this planning to raid the house?" ”

"This official is ordered by the Imperial Shitai to arrest the imperial court rebel Qiao." He Maoliang quickly showed the sea fishing warrant, "Now that you have reconciled with King Yan, you are not Princess Yan anymore." This official has full evidence to prove your identity, Qiao's, just arrest it. ”

Counting the time to spend Feidu should have arrived at the Yanwang Mansion, He Maoliang was already lined up outside the Xie Mansion.

Xie Wuyi laughed contemptuously, he was really dying.

"How does Lord He know that I have reconciled with King Yan? Could it be that someone is always watching King Yan and offending the royal family? ”

He Mao's conscience was shocked. He did receive news from Chu Han, saying that Xie Wuyi and Xiao Wei had a falling out and returned home alone, and now is the best time to arrest the rebel. Chu Han had a good relationship with He Maoliang when he was still the imperial historian, although He Maoliang did not find a flaw in Woxuezhuang, but Xie Wuyi's identity still left a doubt in his heart.

This time, since Chu Han sent evidence, as an imperial historian, he naturally can't tolerate the rebellious ministers and relatives to get away with it.

"You're bold!" He Maoliang's voice trembled slightly. For some reason, every time he saw Xie Wuyi, he was a little weak.

Xie Wuyi crossed his arms around his chest and tapped his shoulders with his fingers, "Forcibly broke into the official's mansion and threatened to arrest the rebel in front of the Great Yu Witch and the princess Yan who His Majesty personally sealed, how do I think it is you who are bold?" ”

She stared at He Maoliang tightly, taking in every change in his expression. Xie Wuyi knew that He Maoliang was the most unbearable, and if he was not careful, he would shake Chu Han's confession.

Hearing Xie Wuyi directly bring out Wu Jin and the emperor, He Maoliang was really angry. He took a step forward and shouted, "Does the Qiao clan want this official to release your incriminating evidence in front of everyone?" ”

The air under Xie Wuyi's fingers gathered into a ball, and his expression was full of provocation.

She was waiting for this moment.

If you don't follow the process, you will break the law by Yushitai, and how much information Chu Han has in her hands, she will have as many countermeasures.

"This summer, you showed your whereabouts in Luzhou and disappeared, and Xie Shi, who had been ill for more than ten years at the same time, suddenly got better, and his personality changed greatly, what was it if you didn't replace her? This is one of them.

"Second, on the way back to Zeyang, you subdued two robbers, using the incense you made in the rivers and lakes;

"Third, the weapon you used to kill the assassin in Pinglin Yuan is unique, and there are files to prove it;

"Fourth, a few old house slaves in Qiao's Mansion testified that you are the same as their young lady, and you have scars all over your hands, and there is a sword wound on your arm, Xie has been ill for a long time, where will there be traces left by wandering the rivers and lakes?"

He Maoliang finished talking about the evidence in one breath, "Qiao's, let's do it!" ”

Listening to his words, Xie Wuyi almost burst out laughing.

Chu Han, next time you should find a smart person to charge for you.

"Lord He is not allowed to interrogate, and he has made the royal privacy public without authorization, if I am a hall official, I will definitely refer to you!" Xie Wuyi sneered without showing weakness, "Lord He, why don't you ask yourself, can any of your so-called 'evidence' stand up?" First, I was cured by Wu Jin's care, if I replaced the Xie family, where is the real Xie family, has it disappeared out of thin air? Second, Xiaodi was taken away by Jing Zhaoyin's Mansion, and according to the usual rules, Lord He couldn't reach it, how did you know that he was subdued by Mixiang? You eat Junlu, don't track down the bandits, but say that the victim is guilty, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and Miao Si? Do you need me to invite His Royal Highness the King of Chu to go to court again? ”

He Maoliang was so choked by Xie Wuyi that he had nothing to say, he had already heard of Chu Yufeng's fate. As an imperial historian, it is natural to take people away for investigation, but to publish evidence on the street is to ignore the laws of the imperial court.

Xie Wuyi's voice continued, "Third, the candle bone was given by Princess Qi, does Yushitai want to say that the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Qiao family are in unison?" ”

He Maoliang was stunned, why did this woman pull around and involve the King of Qi as well?

Hmph, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the identity of her criminal relatives is certain, so what is the Lu family afraid of?

"Fourth, there are many similar-looking people in this world, and Lord He can examine my scars, but what does that mean? I was injured in Pinglin Yuan, and everyone in the palace knew about it, so Lord He might as well use me to break through all the organs of Jiangnanzhuang and escape from death with King Yan to prove my identity. ”

He Maoliang was completely dizzy, what is Jiangnanzhuang? Didn't she and King Yan go to Jinxiuzhuang to recuperate?

"Dare to ask Lord He, what should be the crime of disturbing the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for no reason, what should be the crime of setting up a bureau to murder King Yan, and what should be the crime of framing King Yan to deceive the court?"

Xie Wuyi's words were loud, and even the discussion of the onlookers was quiet. I came to see the excitement, who would have thought that Yushitai would even dare to arrange the palace. Everyone craned their necks with great interest, intending to see how He Maoliang would end.

"Qiao's deceitful king, King Yan disobeys the holy decree, and has his own holy justice." He Maoliang angrily ordered, "Come on, search the house!" ”

"You dare!"

Xie Wuyi casually carried the guard's saber and stopped in front of the door, she turned her face slightly, and saw that Xie Zongyi and Xie Xuan were standing in the courtyard, looking at herself blankly. Xie Wuyi raised his head, and his hand pulled a knife flower, pointing directly at He Maoliang.

"My things are all in the Yanwang Mansion, so the Xie Mansion doesn't have to be searched." Xie Wuyi lowered her wrist, the back of the knife flashed with a cold silver glow in the sunlight, three points worse than the chill in her eyes, "If you don't have a holy decree, you want to raid your home?" Today, if any of you steps into the Xie Mansion, I will cut this sword with his blood. ”

He Maoliang brought soldiers here, but when those people saw Xie Wuyi, they were full of anger, and their legs couldn't move as if they were frozen. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.

The howling and rolling wind was endless, blowing up the sand in front of Xie Fu's door, and also bringing up the broken hair on Xie Wuyi's forehead. She stood steadfastly in place, forming an impenetrable barrier to guard the entire mansion.

The two parties were facing each other, and suddenly a subordinate ran to He Maoliang's side and whispered a few words to him.

Xie Wuyi had good ears, and heard that the man said that the Yan Wangfu was stopped by Cheng Cheng and Ah Nian, saying that Xiao Wei had an order, and no one was allowed to enter the mansion unless there was a holy decree.

She smiled almost imperceptibly, and her mood was bright.

He Maoliang lost face, and he couldn't deal with Xie Wuyi, so he had already lost his mind. Suddenly, He Maoliang's eyes moved, and the general closest to him suddenly whipped and rushed towards Xie Chun, who was walking towards him. Xie Chun went to the house of a close friend in the boudoir yesterday as a guest, and returned this morning, completely unaware of the affairs in the house.

With Xie Chun in hand, I am not afraid that the Xie family will not hand over this woman.

However, it was Xie Wuyi who moved faster than the general, and she rushed forward like a bolt of lightning, leaning over and taking Xie Chun into her arms and lying on the ground. Seeing that the whip mixed with the smell of rust was about to hit his body, Xie Wuyi paused and stopped raising his hand to hold the whip. She can confront He Maoliang, but she must not get into a physical altercation with his soldiers.

She can still tell which is more important.

The whip fell heavily, and Xie Wuyi couldn't help but snort. Xie Chun was shocked, only knowing that it was Xie Wuyi who helped him resist the fatal blow. She couldn't help but whisper: "Sister......"

Dare to make a move on Xie Chun, He Maoliang, you are a reckless man!

Xie Wuyi gritted his teeth to protect Xie Chun, holding back the anger and killing intent in his heart. He Maoliang's men seized this opportunity and rushed up and surrounded Xie Wuyi tightly.

Everything happened too fast, and before everyone could see it clearly, the female evil star in front of Xie Mansion became He Maoliang's fish in the net. I don't know who said the first sentence, and the onlookers began to talk about it.

"It turns out that King Yan shielded the sinner!"

"I have long heard that King Yan has a perverse temperament, but I didn't expect him to be disrespectful to the heroic spirit of the first prince."

"Not only the first prince, isn't Your Majesty also deceived by him?"

"Do you think it's possible that King Yan ......?"

Xie Wuyi was unaware of the cold blade on her neck, she listened to the gossip quietly, and had already guessed that there were people with ulterior motives in the crowd. If she resists again, all the spearheads will be pointed at Xiao Wei.

and divorce, the Chu family can't drag him into the water.

After weighing, Xie Wuyi abandoned the knife, dusted off his cuffs, got up and looked at He Maoliang, "Lord He, don't bother, let Miss Xie go home, and I'll go with you." ”

He Maoliang nodded with satisfaction, and immediately asked Xie Wuyi to lock up. Xie Zongyi and his wife ran forward, first took the trembling Xie Chun in their arms, and only looked at Xie Wuyi after making sure that she was not injured.

"It's my fault for disturbing the lord and the lady."

Xie Wuyi looked at Xie Zongyi calmly, to this point, Xie Mansion would definitely not be able to stay. She can ask Xie Zongyi to remove herself from the family tree, so that with Xiao Wei here, Xie Fu's crime is at most unclear, and it will not be too serious after all. Unexpectedly, before Xie Wuyi could speak, Xie Xuan waved at her and said in a voice that was neither high nor low:

"Little sister, rest assured, the Xie family will always be behind you."

Xie Xuan can see clearly, now that the Xie family and the Yan Wangfu have long been tied to the same boat, if Xie Wuyi is really driven out of the Xie family because of two rumors, how will they gain a foothold in the court in the future? What's more, He Maoliang made such a big move, would Xiao Wei let it go? Since Xie Wuyi returned home last night, Xie Xuan noticed something was wrong. At this juncture, keeping Xie Wuyi is equivalent to keeping Xiao Wei's support and protecting the entire Xie family.

Since Xie Wuyi got married, Xie Xuan has always called her "princess", and now she is called "little sister" again, which also leaves room for the Xie family to explain. It was clearly a consideration of interests, but Xie Wuyi still bowed to Xie Xuan.

"Brother Lao asks Jin Wuwei to guard the Xie Mansion, and don't let an idler go in."

"Sister......" Seeing that Xie Wuyi was about to be taken away, Xie Chun shouted again with red eyes. She wanted to say thank you to Xie Wuyi, but they almost never crossed paths, and Xie Chun couldn't say anything when he spoke.

Xie Wuyi's gaze moved down and saw Mrs. Xie desperately holding Xie Chun's hand.

The streets were full of people, and Jin Wuwei and Jing Zhaoyin's mansion came over. Xie Wuyi saw that Ying Shun took away the few people who took the lead in inciting the people, so he smiled slightly, and let He Maoliang's people push him away.

Xie Wuyi was guilty of a serious crime, and He Maoliang directly locked her in the secret prison of the Criminal Department, and ordered someone to carefully examine her injuries. Unlike the information provided by Chu Han, Xie Wuyi's tiger mouth was not cocooned, and the sword wound on his arm was also very new, and it was clearly left in Pinglin Yuan. The only thing that was unusual was the butterfly pattern on her left forearm, which shone like ice and flames, and looked like a demon.

Of course, He Maoliang couldn't find out anything.

Chu Han only knew that Xie Wuyi used candle bones, but he didn't know that in order to hide her identity, she had worn off the cocoon of the tiger's mouth two years ago. It's a pity that He Mao has a good conscience and can't remember to check her fingers, otherwise the traces left by Cangyan are really difficult to explain.

Xie Wuyi did have a deep sword wound on her right arm, but in Pinglin Yuan, she aimed the old wound at the assassin's blade when she couldn't avoid it, so that the new wound completely obscured the most obvious mark.

"What's the catch?" Xie Wuyi stared at He Maoliang with interest, "Lord He, are you wrong again?" ”

Damn, he was used by Chu Han again.

Xiao Wei respects Xiao Yao so much, how can he love the family of the rebel.

However, Xie Wuyi is too similar to Qiao Wei in his impression, as long as it is proved that she is a criminal Qiao Wei, Xiao Wei will not be able to do anything to himself.

He Maoliang pursed his lips tightly and stared at Xie Wuyi, who was dressed in coarse cloth, as if he was breathing fire in his eyes.

"Come on, put her in a water prison!"

Torture?

Xie Wuyi rolled his eyes, He Qiangniu, He Qiangniu, you are really stubborn.

However, she didn't have much time to despise He Maoliang, after all, the water prison was not a place for people to stay at all, there were countless prisoners who could not sit or sleep, and there were countless prisoners who suffocated and drowned.

The musty smell of rot crawled across his back, and Xie Wuyi clinged to the stone pillar with heavy shackles, trying to reduce the pressure on his legs and lower abdomen.

After some time, the water level in the underground underground dungeon rose rapidly, and a jailer stood outside the cell.

"Qiao's, I advise you to recruit it anyway, so as not to suffer."

"Can I get out of here if I admit that I'm Qiao Wei?" Xie Wuyi yawned lazily, "Since it's the same whether you recruit or not, I'm afraid of trouble and don't want to talk." ”

Xie Wuyi's face was light and light, but his body was close to the limit. The water in the dungeon was dirty and smelly, and seemed to have been mixed with salt, so much so that her wounds were so painful that she wanted to peel off all the skin.

The jailer touched the nail and pressed the switch at hand. Water poured down from the top of her head and overflowed Xie Wuyi's chest, threatening to flood her jaw. His hands and feet were chained, and Xie Wuyi had to raise his face and breathe hard.

Waves of water swept across his lower lip, and Xie Wuyi's fingertips finally trembled.
