In this row of captives, Mu Jingyuan easily spotted the black-clothed assassin with a mask, rushed to the assassin with an arrow, smiled siniestly and then ripped off the mask of the black-clothed assassin.

This assassin turned out to be Ye Ningxiang.

Mu Jingyuan was so shocked that he retreated again and again, and finally simply fell to the ground, carefully looking at the face that looked exactly the same as Ye Ningxiang, and was speechless for a while.

How could it be Ye Ningxiang? Ye Ningxiang had just helped him crack the big case of selling his official beard and made a great contribution, how could she suddenly run to the camp of respecting the king who regarded her as an enemy and helping King Jing rebel?

After slowing down for a while, Mu Jingyuan rushed to Ye Ningxiang regardless of his safety, shook Ye Ningxiang's shoulders desperately, and almost cried and shouted: "Ye Ningxiang, are you Ye Ningxiang?"

At this moment, Ye Ningxiang seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes were dull, and her expression was sloppy, as if what Mu Jingyuan said to her did not enter her ears at all. In the end, Ye Ningxiang raised her head slightly, which was the last bit of response to Mu Jingyuan, and then fainted in Mu Jingyuan's arms.

Although it was the second half of the night, the lights in the Mingyue Pavilion were still bright, revealing a sense of vitality everywhere. The exhausted Wei Xun seemed to have suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, and rushed into the Mingyue Pavilion despite the doorman's obstruction.

"Bold fanatics, do you know what kind of place this is, you dare to spread wild here!" As soon as these words came out, Wei Xun was already surrounded by thugs in the Mingyue Pavilion. There are not many thugs in Mingyue Pavilion, but they are all first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and even one-on-one he may not be an opponent, let alone a group of thugs in front of him.

Wei Xun sighed and took out a very delicate bronze medal from his waist, which was also engraved with the word "Bright Moon".

"I have something important to see the pavilion master, and I hope you will pass it on on my behalf. ”

"It's really unfortunate, my pavilion master is now in the Yingdu of Ruiguo, I'm afraid I can't solve the trouble for my son!" Frost was dressed in a white gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wings, half-exposed shoulders and backs, showing the unique styles of women in front of the world.

"If there is anything wrong with Childe, it is the same with Shuang'er. ”

On weekdays, the frost is always cold, and people dare not get close, but at this moment, Wei Xun who broke in was always greeted with a smile and was very polite. It's not because Wei Xun is young and handsome, but because of the extraordinary bronze medal in Wei Xun's hand.

If Frost is not mistaken, this bronze medal was specially created by her master Qin Mingyue at the beginning of the establishment of Mingyue Pavilion. There were only three such bronze medals in total, but later the Bright Moon Pavilion and the Shadow Guard were completely separated, and these three bronze medals that had a pivotal position in the Bright Moon Pavilion and even the Shadow Guard disappeared.

Now this bronze medal is in the hands of a young and bookish official, which makes Hanshuang shocked and puzzled, and he didn't dare to snub Wei Xun.

Wei Xun looked at Frost with some suspicion, and finally told Frost what he asked for with great trust.

"I have a good friend in the next place, and I suddenly lost my trace during the day, I hope Mingyue Pavilion can help me find her traces. ”

"What's her name?"

"Ye Ningxiang. ”

Hearing Ye Ningxiang's three words, Hanshuang's eyes widened and he was not surprised, and blurted out: "Is Sister Ningxiang missing?"

"You know her?"

"Yes. ”

She went to the Chengdong restaurant to investigate the case and never came back. Speaking of this, Wei Xun's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and it was only by clasping his hands that his emotions calmed down a little.

"Childe, go back first, Mingyue Pavilion will do its best to help you. ”

"One more thing. ”

"Childe, please speak. ”

"Help me bring a message to His Royal Highness King Ning, just say that Ye Ningxiang is in trouble and ask him to come out of the mountain to help. ”

"Okay, I'll be sure to bring the words. ”

After tossing for a night last night, the Queen Mother did not return to Guanju Palace until dawn in the morning. In the end, it is also more than thirty people who run to four, after all, this body is different from more than ten years ago, only to stay up all night, the queen mother felt that the world was spinning, the brain was buzzing, and only after entering the bedroom went straight to the bed.

Just as she was lying in bed, a cloud of black smoke suddenly gathered in front of her window, and then a person came out of the black smoke. Ji Beihuan was dressed in black, and he had a new face, which was even more handsome than when he met the Queen Mother the day before.

The Queen Mother was suddenly shocked in her heart, and then pretended to be calm and composed, and said: "Mr. Ji's cultivation of this technique has become more and more exquisite, and now he can appear quietly in front of the palace. If Mr. Ji is in a good mood one day, it will be a matter of blink of an eye if he wants the life of this palace. ”

"Hehe, the Queen Mother is really joking, my Ji Beihuan's life is the Queen Mother's, how could I do anything to murder the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother didn't want to continue to beat around the bush with him, so she asked directly: "Say, what's the matter with the palace?"

"Beihuan is here only to celebrate the successful realization of the Queen Mother's plan to kill three birds with one stone. After speaking, Ji Beihuan clenched his hands into fists and shook respectfully at the Queen Mother.

"Now that Xia Qingqing has lost the imperial heir, King Jing's faction has almost been wiped out because of the rebellion, and Ye Ningxiang, who has repeatedly done bad things, is now also being sent to the prison to await the death sentence. Speaking of this, Ji Beihuan showed a trademark wicked smile, "The Queen Mother's plan is really wonderful!"

The Queen Mother got up, straightened her clothes, and said coldly: "Say, what do you want?"

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, I, Ji Beihuan, have never been greedy, I only want the position of the national teacher who is leaving. ”

"I'll figure out what you're doing, you can go back first. ”

"Queen Mother, don't break your promise! Otherwise, you will be punished!" Ji Beihuan said almost close to the Queen Mother's ear, as soon as the words fell, he turned into a cloud of smoke and then disappeared without a trace, long after he disappeared, the Queen Mother could faintly hear his almost crazy laughter when he left, and her palms were already soaked in a layer of cold sweat unconsciously.

"Let go of me!"

"Mu Jingyuan, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!"

"It hurts, I can't stand it, you can kill me!"

In the prison, there were such wails as before, and a strong smell of blood emanated from all sides.

Ye Ningxiang was awakened by this frightened and resentful howl, but when she woke up, she found that she was now dressed in white single clothes and was firmly tied to the torture rack in a large font. She was surrounded by several other people who were tied to the torture rack in the same posture as her.

However, these people were not as lucky as her, they were covered in blood, and it was difficult to find any intact flesh and skin on their bodies. The trousers I wore were already wet, and I don't know if it was because of the blood oozing out or the sweat from the pain.

Dali Siqing sat on the side and looked at these people who were tortured like watching a play, as if he was still disgusted that the punishment was not tragic enough, and pouted: "Tut-tut, this ordinary leather whip is not as good as the nine-section whip, this is hundreds of beatings, it is just like this, this can't even show a bone, at most it hurts the flesh and skin, if you don't get killed, take care of it for a few days and wait for it to return to normal!"

"What the adults are saying is that the small ones will be punished more severely, so that these rebels will come in standing and go out sideways. A fat jailer looked flattering, and the flesh on his face trembled with a smirk.

Then he turned his head and whispered something to the jailer next to him, who after a while had a large three-foot-long cylindrical iron comb. The fat jailer smiled and took the big comb, and smiled at Dali Siqing: "My lord, do you see if this grooming punishment is appropriate?"

Dali Siqing stroked his beard, showed a satisfied face, and said with a smile: "Ah Biao, start lightly, this official still relies on these little leaders to dig out more anti-thieves, if you accidentally kill someone, I won't send a messenger!"

"Don't worry, my skills are good?"

Then, the fat jailer grabbed one of the captives with a comb and combed it from his neck to his lower abdomen, and as the comb moved downward, the iron spikes slid into his skin and tore at his flesh, and after a few strokes, the white ribs oozing blood from the man's chest were clearly visible.

Ye Ningxiang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned her head, closed her eyes, but her heart was full of doubts. At that time, she obviously went to the Chengdong Restaurant to investigate the case, and then she seemed to see Ji Beihuan, and then she had no memory at all, as for how she got here, and was tied to the torture rack very rudely, she didn't remember at all.

It was this slight turn of his head that attracted the attention of Dali Siqing and the jailers, and these people looked in the direction of Ye Ningxiang.

"Yo, you rebellious prisoner, you can be regarded as awake, you can make me wait here so hard!" Dali Siqing said to Ye Ningxiang with a smile, and then turned his head to the jailer and glanced at her, meaning that some measures should be taken against Ye Ningxiang, so that her life is worse than death, and finally achieve the purpose of confession.

Conspiracy? She Ye Ningxiang has always been respectful to Mu Jingyuan, how could she be labeled as a rebellious? What happened to her after she met Ji Beihuan? Ye Ningxiang's head was like a mess of paste, and there were too many things that were difficult to explain.

Ye Ningxiang thought to herself that since she didn't know anything, she would simply play a scoundrel, come to death and not admit it, and see what the other party said.

"I, Ye Ningxiang, am dedicated to being the emperor and leaving for the great departure, and I have never had a rebellious heart, so how can I say that I am rebellious?"

"You demon girl, do you think that if you don't admit it, the emperor will believe you and help you get rid of your crimes?" Dali Siqing smiled and continued: "Don't forget, you followed King Jing all the way to Zhaoyang Hall last night, I'm afraid that along the way, the people you killed are almost piled up into a small mountain!" This Dali Siqing smiled even more, and even had a feeling of schadenfreude.

And Ye Ningxiang, who heard this, was full of shock and disbelief, but she still pretended to have a strong attitude and said: "You are talking nonsense, I don't!"

Dali Siqing didn't seem to hear Ye Ningxiang speak, and continued: "Oh, by the way, there is another crime: murdering the emperor's heir. The dragon seed in the belly of this Xia Concubine Niangniang was killed by you with one palm. Breaking into the palace to rebel and kill the emperor's heir, Ye Ningxiang's crime is difficult to offset even if you are cut with a thousand knives!"

Ye Ningxiang forced herself to calm down and think about what had happened in the past two days. She lost consciousness after seeing Ji Beihuan, and then did so many hurtful things, there is only one possibility, she was controlled by Ji Beihuan, and she caused so many killings under Ji Beihuan's instructions.

Finally sorted out the puzzle in her heart, Ye Ningxiang smiled bitterly, closed her eyes and didn't look at the ugly faces in front of her.

"Ye Ningxiang, in fact, you can also make up for it, as long as you are willing to say your accomplice, this official can ask the emperor to give you a whole corpse. ”

"I have no complicity. ”

"If Miss Ning Xiang has a bad memory, this official can remind you that Lord Wei has been in frequent contact with you in recent days, isn't there something else between you?"

It turned out that this Dali Temple Qing wanted to force Ye Ningxiang to detain this great crime of rebellion on Wei Xun's head, so that he would have one less fierce rival in the officialdom, and he would have peace of mind in this Dali Temple in the future.
