Xu Xiangkun arrived near Xingwei Mansion before he was on duty in shifts, and as soon as he got closer, he faintly heard a guard in the introduction that the Xingwei Mansion prison had received a seriously injured and unconscious person overnight, Xu Xiangkun listened, his heart was inexplicably tight, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and the two guards saluted, "Pavilion leader." ”

Xu Xiangkun nodded and asked in a low voice, "Who are you talking about who was arrested?"

"It seems that it is the chief disciple of the Hengshan faction, named Li Zifeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and was carried in. ”

Xu Xiangkun's eyes tightened, and he was about to go in to check, but was stopped by Hu Li.

"Xu Geling!" Hu Li walked towards the sun, followed by two heavily armed soldiers.

"Guards Hu?" Xu Xiangkun's uneasiness became more and more intense, looking at the emperor's personal guards, he always felt that a knife had been put on his neck, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled a smile and said, "Tired Guards Hu are coming, is Your Majesty having something to order?"

Hu Li smiled silently, "Xu Geling is polite, it is His Majesty who has prepared a good West Lake Longjing in the imperial study, and is ready to invite Xu Geling to taste it together." I specially ordered the lowly to come and invite you. ”

Xu Xiangkun clenched the corners of his clothes, fine cold sweat oozed slightly from his forehead, Hu Li pretended not to see it, and casually stretched out his hand to make a 'please' gesture, and smiled politely, "Xu Ge please!"

As he spoke, he gave a look to the guards under him, the two soldiers understood, and stepped forward quickly, Xu Xiangkun adjusted his breathing steadily, and hurriedly stopped, "Guard Hu doesn't have to be so polite, I will leave myself." ”

It was almost noon, the sunlight in the imperial study was a little dazzling, shining directly on Xu Xiangkun's face, he was so shaken by the sunlight that he could barely open his eyes, and his kneeling body shook slightly.

Zhu Xingzhan didn't ask in a hurry, but let Xu Xiangkun kneel in front of him, and he didn't want to raise his eyes, but he saw Xu Xiangkun's small movements, the brush in his hand was dipped in ink, and he said in a deep voice, "Can't kneel?"

"I don't dare. Xu Xiangkun hurriedly knelt up straight, and for a whole hour, he was already strong at this time.

A tea cup was thrown down, rolled on the ground, and the hot tea was all sprinkled on his body, Xu Xiangkun frowned slightly, not daring to make a sound, Zhu Xingzhan looked at it with cold eyes, "Kneeling for an hour, what do you have to say?"

Xu Xiangkun's expression was awe-inspiring, "The minister is not effective..."

Before he finished speaking, a book of music was smashed down on his head and face, Xu Xiangkun hurriedly reached out to catch it, and took a cursory look, just looking at it once, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead oozed again. In addition to eating and sleeping, all his other whereabouts and movements have been recorded in the past few days, including several contacts with Li Zifeng and detailed chats.

And, yesterday, he heard Zhu Xingzhan's order to arrest Li Zifeng's approximate trajectory in the imperial study. Xu Xiangkun gasped, and he couldn't say a word of the words he had thought of in his heart.

Zhu Xingzhan's cold gaze was a little sharp, "Since the first interrogation of Wan Ziyu, I have felt that something is wrong with you, I have reminded you three times and twice, but you never go to your heart." What's the matter??!"

"Don't dare!" Xu Xiangkun hurriedly lowered his head and stated the situation of meeting Li Zifeng these days, as well as the experience of participating in the rescue operation at night.

Zhu Xingzhan listened, frowned, and slapped his palm on the bookcase, "As the leader of Xing Wei's Mansion, take the lead in violating the yang and yin, and know the law and break the law!" Zhu Xingzhan scolded angrily and gasped a few times, "Where is the head of the gathering now?"

"I don't know. Xu Xiangkun looked up and saw that Zhu Xingzhan's eyebrows were unabated, and continued, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister really didn't know, at that time, the minister just gave them a section and separated. ”

Xu Xiangkun was indeed telling the truth, with the vigilance of the heads of the sects, how could he let a stranger send them to the place they wanted to go? He just sent them to a relatively safe place and then separated.

After a long silence, Xu Xiangkun's heart was crossed, and he kowtowed and continued, "Your Majesty, there is indeed something strange about this rebellion, please ask Your Majesty to investigate!"

Zhu Xingzhan stared at Xu Xiangkun tightly for a while, and laughed angrily, "What?

Xu Xiangkun shook his head, and seeing that Zhu Xingzhan's face was a little gloomy again, he stopped talking, and Zhu Xingzhan said, "Since Xu Geling doesn't want to be this official well, I will fulfill you." Someone!"

Hu Li, who was waiting outside, walked into the imperial study with his guards, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xingzhan glanced at Xu Xiangkun coldly, and said, "Send Xu Ge to the dark pavilion where there is no trace, and try the eight kinds of torture tools in the dark pavilion that do not hurt his muscles and bones, and then throw them to the vegetable garden to feed the pigs and farm!"

Hu Li commanded, "Obey!" Then he looked at Xu Xiangkun, who was still in a daze, and said, "Xu Geling, please!"

Xu Xiangkun was stunned for a long time, then kowtowed deeply to Zhu Xingzhan, then got up and left with Hu Li, Zhu Xingzhan watched several people leave, flicked his sleeves, and pushed all the items on the table to the ground.

After the clanging sound, leaving the ground full of messes, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to take a breath, He Sheng pretended to be brave to come and clean up the ground, "Your Majesty is angry." ”......

Xu Xiangkun was escorted by Hu Li to shuttle through the imperial garden, saying that he happened to meet the crown prince Zhu Luoyun, and Hu Li and his party bowed respectfully, "Attend His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Luoyun looked at the group with solemn faces, especially Xu Xiangkun's face was even more gloomy, and asked, "Guard Hu, what's wrong?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, and follow His Majesty's will, and take Xu Ge to the Dark Pavilion for questioning. ”

Zhu Luoyun's brows tightened, "What is the so-called matter?" Almost everyone who works by the emperor's side or is close to him knows that the Dark Pavilion and Xing Wei Mansion are the same, they are not good places, as long as you go in, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.

Hu Li looked embarrassed, "The details, it is inconvenient to say more, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." ”

Xu Xiangkun took the opportunity to look at Zhu Luoyun, frowned, and stopped talking, Zhu Luoyun looked at it, slightly puzzled, and didn't want to ask anything more, so he got out of the way, "Guard Hu, please." ”

Zhu Luoyun looked at the backs of the group and sighed slightly.

"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to be so engrossed?" Behind him, a voice that sounded leisurely came.

Listening to that voice, Zhu Luoyun frowned slightly, turned around and smiled again, "Why does the imperial brother have time to enter the palace?

In Zhu Luoyun's view, Zhu Luofeng came at this time, in response to the folk saying: The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart.

The two brothers bowed to each other, and Zhu Luofeng said solemnly, "The prince said with a smile, I don't have any spare time recently, and I have been busy praying for blessings after two days at the behest of my father. ”

"In this way, the imperial brother is really hard. Zhu Luoyun smiled and said, "So the imperial brother will enter the palace to report some preparations to his father?"

Zhu Luofeng nodded, "I happened to come by to see you." ”

Zhu Luoyun's eyes were deep, and Zhu Luofeng smiled with a slight temptation, "The prince doesn't care about it, who is the traitor captured last night?"

Zhu Luoyun snorted coldly and said, "It's just a traitor, why bother with me?"

Early this morning, Zhu Luoyun faintly heard that at the foot of Shi Qingshan, there were people from the rivers and lakes gathering in an attempt to misbehave. Now that he was mentioned by Zhu Luofeng in person, he felt that Zhu Luofeng had a deep purpose, and Zhu Luoyun suddenly felt disgusted.

"As the royal brother, I still persuade the prince to care!" When Zhu Luoyun turned around to leave, he was stopped by Zhu Luofeng, and when he saw Zhu Luoyun stop, Zhu Luofeng continued, "He was, but he was the prince's life-saving benefactor. ”

Zhu Luoyun turned around and frowned, "What did you say?"

Zhu Luofeng smiled deeply, and said word by word, "The chief disciple of the Hengshan Sect, Li Zifeng." ”

Zhu Luoyun's hand unconsciously grasped the handle of the fan, and the Pixiu tassel pendant hanging from the handle of the fan looked particularly heavy.
