At night, the wind blew through with a slight chill, and the last of the palace's lights turned gray. When it was the most eerie and terrifying, in a corner, there was a scream, which was terrifying. And this place is the Heavenly Dungeon.

The walls of the cell were cold and damp, and there were screams everywhere, but the place where the condemned prisoners were held was very quiet, perhaps thinking that they were dying. Or maybe they compromised for the crimes they committed and lost their desire to beg for mercy.

In the corner of the place, there was a man sitting inside, dressed in a tattered and dirty prisoner's suit, shackled on his feet and hands, his hair drooping down from unwashed, and his face was terribly decadent. Where can I see the high-spirited appearance of the past few days.

"Criminal, come out. A jailer came over, still holding the key to the cell, and took Lu Wenang out, and Lu Wenang's handcuffs and leg cuffs were opened.

"Jailer, what are you going to do. Lu Wenang raised his head and looked at the jailer in front of him, with a condescending expression, as if he was not wearing a prisoner's uniform, but an official uniform from a few days ago.

"Someone from Dali Temple. Pull you to question. The jailer looked at the expression on Lu Wenang's face and sneered.

"Did you find out that I was wronged?" Lu Wenang looked up, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he was still hoping that someone would come out to protect him.

The jailer looked at Lu Wenang, who had not moved at all, didn't he say that Dali Temple had pulled him to interrogate, why didn't he move.

"Let's go. The jailer kicked Lu Wenang in the leg. "I still think I'm Lord Shangshuling, it's still a question whether this life can be saved. ”

Lu Wenang listened to the jailer's bad words and knew that he had no hope of getting out. Thinking of the past style and today's downfall, I am very unwilling.

Thinking of Mu Xiaoying who sent him in, why did he have to wait for death in prison, but Mu Xiaoying could be knighted outside. He is not convinced!

"What do you think, let's go. Another kick was passed, and under the constant "urging" of the jailer, he finally arrived at the place of interrogation.

"My lord, this criminal will be handed over to you. The jailer said to the people in the seat with a flattering expression, and then pressed Lu Wenang to the ground with one hand and knelt on his knees.

The man waved his hand and said, "You go out first, and the official will interrogate you properly." ”

The jailer turned and walked out, while Lu Wenang stood up.

"My lord has clearly investigated, and the minister has been wronged. Lu Wenang suddenly shouted.

"There is human and material evidence, but you should tell me how you were wronged. The man said playfully, "What's more, this Zhuang case was personally investigated by Mu Gongzi." ”

"My lord, this is all instigated by Mu Xiaoying. I'm wronged!" Lu Wenang said, I have no way to live anyway, and I have to pull Mu Xiaoying into the water. "Now he's out on the loose. ”

"How can this be reasonable, when he dies, he still wants to pull Mu Gongzi into the water. The man said with a straight face.

After a while, Lu Wenang was dragged back to the cell where only rats and cockroaches were his company, and when Lu Wenang stayed for a long time, another guest came.

When Lu Wenang heard the jailer say that someone was coming to visit him, he was curious, and it stands to reason that this kind of death row prisoner is not allowed to visit his relatives.

It wasn't until Xu Jihang appeared in front of him that he understood who it was, Xu Jihang's clean and generous dress was in stark contrast to him.

"Are you here to see my joke?" said Lu Wenang, not raising his head.

Xu Jihang didn't answer him, but took out two jars of wine from the things he brought, and two large bowls that were not very delicate.

"When I think of the war outside, we will have a drink every time. Xu Jihang filled a large bowl and handed it to Lu Wenang.

Lu Wenang didn't seem to react, but he still took the bowl almost instinctively. Heroically drank it all, and then seemed to remember something.

Xu Jihang stepped forward and patted Lu Wenang's shoulder hard, which made Lu Wenang suddenly remember that every time he went to the battlefield before, Xu Jihang would be like this, thinking that he was cheering him up and giving him confidence.

"It's not supposed to be this way. Lu Wenang said, his face seemed to return to its former brilliance. "I was wrong. ”

"Thinking about the things of the year, drinking the wine of the year is really enjoyable," Xu Jihang said, and his hands began to move again.

Lu Wenang took another bowl and raised his head to drink. "After returning to Beijing, the wine I drank became more and more expensive every time, but it lacked the taste of the year. ”

Then the two of them reminisced about the past, and drank one cup after another, with a bit of a sense of not getting drunk and not returning.

Until the wine jar brought by him has bottomed out, Xu Jihang looked at Lu Wenang, who has followed him for many years and fought side by side. A long sigh.

"That's all I have to send you here. As he spoke, he took out another glass of wine, which was a few grades more exquisite than the bowl that had just been filled with wine, but what was contained was poisonous wine that would kill people. "This is what I asked the emperor for. ”

"Thank you to the general for saving face for the last general. Lu Wenang took it, knowing that this was Xu Jihang, in order to save his face, he used poisoned wine instead of killing his head to show the public.

After Lu Wenang took the poisonous wine, Xu Jihang shook his hand vigorously and turned to leave.

"The last general is ashamed of the general. Lu Wenang looked at Xu Jihang's departing back and muttered to himself. Then he shook the poisonous wine in his hand, and his expression was in a trance as if he was reminiscing, and he drank the poisonous wine in his hand.

At this moment, in the Weiyang Palace, Xu Lianyi was half-leaning on the couch. Due to the reason of the night, a green silk like a waterfall spreads out, making people sigh a good beauty.

"Hasn't the emperor come yet?" asked the beauty at this time, that is, Xu Lianyi, to the witty words of pruning flowers and branches in the room.

"The emperor has just finished handling official business and is on his way here. Standing by the window, Punch stopped the scissors in his hand and said, "Do you want to be the emperor?"

"Stinky Nizi, Hugh is talking nonsense. Xu Lianyi walked to the window, knocked on the forehead of the punch line, and pretended to be angry.

While the two were laughing, a ghostly light flashed outside the window, which was very weird and scary.

"That'...... What is that. Witty glanced at the ghost fire outside the window, his face was scared, and his voice trembled. "Is it a ghost...... Ghost fire. ”

"Ahh It... It's still moving, coming this way. Xu Lianyi looked at the witty words' gaze, and also saw the very weird "ghost fire", frightened, and ran out of the door as she spoke.

And Xu Lianyi did not run to the door, but fell into the arms of the comer.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yunting looked at Xu Lianyi, who was frightened in his arms, and asked softly.

"See... See the emperor" said with a witty voice, and Jiang just told the two of them about the "ghost fire" they saw while laughing.

Mu Yunting sniffed, as if he was looking for something, looked at Xu Lianyi, who was slightly frightened in his arms, and said angrily: "This is clearly the smell of ghost fire, come here, search the palace, I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not early, let's rest early. Xu Lianyi poked her head out of her arms, "It's not too late to search the palace." ”

"They all listened to you, and they frightened you. Mu Yunting rubbed Xu Lianyi's head and said very gently.

It was night, but this night was destined to be an eventful night, a generation of fierce generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years ended their lives in the prison, and everyone in the Weiyang Palace was also worried about this "ghost fire".

The night passed quietly.

"Huiyu, pin the hairpin of that agate for me. Xu Lianyi sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the bun she had just pulled up.

It was already three poles in the morning, Xu Lianyi just started to make up, it turned out that Mu Yunting felt sorry for her and was frightened yesterday, and today she said nothing and didn't let her get up early, like this, how can she, the queen, serve the public.

"The emperor really loves you. Hui Yu pinned Xu Lianyi's hair in a bun, and a green silk with a clear agate, it seemed that the green silk was getting darker and darker, and the agate was more transparent, which was very good-looking.

"No, it's only getting up until it's three poles old. The punchline came to the side, with a teasing face.

"You girl, you're going to make fun of me. Xu Lianyi smiled and took a bowl of witty words, and said with a smile, "You are not allowed to eat today." ”

The witty words hurriedly said: "Niang Niang forgives her sins." But there was no sign of guilt.

Both of them were amused by the witty words, and the three masters and servants were so unhappy.

"Yo, what are you three laughing at? As soon as Wu Peiling came in, the three of them were laughing happily, so she asked out loud.

Huiyu hurriedly repeated Xu Lianyi's words and witty words, and added hand and foot movements, which is called a painting of sound and color. made Wu Peiling laugh too.

The laughter of the original three people changed to four, Wu Peiling seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said to Xu Lianyi: "When I got up early this morning, someone came over and ordered not to disturb you, saying that you were frightened yesterday." ”

"It's not so frightened. Xu Lianyi said, playing with a wisp of green silk of herself.

"I know how you can be intimidated by such a thing. Wu Peiling said, "You're trying to lure the snake out of the hole?"

When Wu Peiling raised this, Huiyu sent all the palace maids down, and she and Witty Yu also withdrew silently, leaving room for the two to talk.

"Not really. Xu Lianyi stood up and said, "How could that person let down his guard and show his feet." ”

"Now, too, is the time. Xu Lianyi stood up and said.

Wu Peiling immediately realized that Xu Lianyi postponed the palace search time last night, firstly, to let this person think that he had not attracted attention and let his vigilance down, but also to better search during the day.

In less than a while, Huiyu brought the head of the Internal Affairs Office and a group of guards under Xu Lianyi's understanding, and it seemed that he already knew what Xu Lianyi was going to do.

"Niangniang, the slave has brought all the clean and careful people from the Internal Affairs Office. Li Zhiyang bent over and said.

Xu Lianyi glanced at the group of people brought by Li Zhiyang and said, "They are all careful, and they have found out that there is a reward in this palace." ”

"Don't move quickly!" Li Zhiyang hurriedly asked a group of guards to start searching the palace, "Niangniang said, what you found is very rewarding." ”
