Li Zifeng didn't know that in Wei'an City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there was such an elegant small residence, with a simple courtyard wall and a quiet and comfortable house, which was very suitable for recuperation.

But he didn't have so much time to waste, and there were many important things, but the pain in his shoulder and neck kept reminding him of what happened at night, or what he lost.

Li Zifeng turned his chopsticks and looked at Xu Xiangkun, who was sitting opposite, "There is Lao Xu Geling, I ...... last night" Li Zifeng thought of the embarrassment of being injured and drenched in the rain at night, and he felt a little worried in his heart.

Xu Xiangkun raised his head, looked at Li Zifeng's tentative gaze and said, "It's okay, I changed shifts yesterday and happened to pass by, which is far away from the Yueming Inn, and there are many people." I'm here for the time being. ”

Li Zifeng put down his chopsticks, stood up and arched his hand, "Thank you." It's just that I have something important to do, and it's really inconvenient to stay longer, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely invite Xu Geling to dinner and say goodbye first. ”

Looking at Li Zifeng's hurried appearance, Xu Xiangkun said unhurriedly, "After all, behind Hongyuan Villa is the Qingping Palace, and the forces involved are more complicated. Xu Xiangkun looked at Li Zifeng's abrupt stop, and continued, "I don't want to care who you were before, let alone what your identity is now, I just want to remind you, be careful..."

Li Zifeng turned around and looked at Xu Xiangkun who was calm and idle, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Are you used to bullying people in our Xingwei Mansion?" Xu Xiangkun stood up, straightened the corners of his clothes, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "I said Li Gongzi, I rescued you back in the middle of the night, bandaged and fed medicine, and almost didn't sleep all night, don't you care about me as a benefactor?"

Li Zifeng frowned, "What do you care about?"

"For example, what am I going to do today, who am I going to meet..."Xu Xiangkun paid attention to Li Zifeng's reaction from time to time.

Li Zifeng was slightly stunned, but only in an instant, he regained his composure, "I should know, I won't pretend to be confused, but if I shouldn't know, I will never talk too much." ”

"Today, at the behest of the emperor, I will interrogate Prime Minister Wan, and I am the chief judge. It's two o'clock now, and I still have half a pillar of incense, so I should get up and go to Xing Weifu. Xu Xiangkun said and walked to Li Zifeng's side and whispered, "Childe, do you have anything to say for me?" ”

"Xu Ge Ling is careful that the wall has ears. Li Zifeng smiled and said goodbye, "Farewell!"

"Believe me, the transfer jade pendant I sent you, you will use it sooner or later. Xu Xiangkun said to Li Zifeng's back, his voice was not small, intended to remind, "We will sit together and talk for a long time." ”

And Li Zifeng only stopped for a moment, and then left quickly. Xu Xiangkun looked at it and sighed silently......

Two days ago, he said that to Li Zifeng at the Yueming Inn, not on a whim. It's just that early that morning, when the imperial study was performing, Emperor Zhu Xingzhan seemed to have inadvertently mentioned Li Zifeng......

On that day, after Xu Xiangkun reported some things alone, Zhu Xingzhan did not respond much, he dipped his pen and ink in the ink and sketched something on the rice paper, his eyelids were not raised, and his deep and majestic voice was still the same, "Your Xingwei Mansion is in charge of the law of Wei'an City, and you have recently found that there are suspicious people entering the city?"

Xu Xiangkun's eyelids fluttered, "Your Majesty refers to Li Zifeng?"

The secret pavilion and the secret agents of Xing Weifu have always exchanged news, and he knew the news of Li Zifeng's entry into the city earlier, but what he didn't understand was that Li Zifeng was just a person from the rivers and lakes, how much ability did he have to attract the emperor's attention?

"Knowingly?" Zhu Xingzhan continued to move in his hand, but there was already a bit of anger in his voice.

"I don't dare. Xu Xiangkun lowered his head, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Xingzhan glanced at Xu Xiangkun and put the pen on the pen stand, "You and the shadow of the dark pavilion are staring at each other brightly and secretly, these days he is the best to keep to himself, if he makes too much trouble..."Zhu Xingzhan looked inexplicable, "Just find a reason and invite him to live in Xingwei Mansion!"

The sun was shining outside the window, but Xu Xiangkun couldn't help but shudder at this time, raised his eyes and looked tentatively, Zhu Xingzhan's face was completely gloomy, Xu Xiangkun didn't dare to hesitate, and responded, "Obey." [End of Memory]

After that, there was the temptation and reminder of the Yueming Inn, although he was a person from Xing Weifu, he could rely on the power given by the emperor to run rampant, but he could still distinguish between right and wrong, and sometimes, he didn't think that all the decisions made by the emperor were right, such as this time, he took Prime Minister Wan Ziyu into custody.

The sky is getting brighter, the people who get up early to make a living have begun to be busy, the restaurants in the streets and alleys are wafting out an attractive aroma, Li Zifeng did not rush back to the courtyard of Mu Lin Pavilion, but went to Cai's snack shop first, and asked for a bowl of wild vegetables and pork wontons, until he finished eating, he did not alarm Cai Kun, and silently left the broken silver and left.

There are already more people entering and leaving the city on the street, Li Zifeng felt his eyes that were not staring at the crowd, and remembered what Xu Xiangkun had just said in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy, this kind of uneasiness appeared five years ago when his life experience was about to be exposed. Even today this unease is stronger than it was then.

Li Zifeng closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then avoided his ears and eyes and went straight to the Mulin Pavilion Courtyard.

Xingwei Mansion, the façade is solemn, brick by brick and tile is dark, perhaps because it is the emperor's direct management of the prison palace, and there are eighteen kinds of torture and appalling interrogation methods that make people shudder, when you step into the door, you are greeted by an eerie murderous atmosphere.

Xu Xiangkun deliberately picked a clean and tidy room and invited Wan Ziyu to come over. Although Wan Ziyu was imprisoned here, the identity of the prime minister was still there, and there was the emperor's will, and the people who guarded and escorted him just had a cold face and did not dare to make a mistake. And Xing Weifu, which has always been known for its cruelty, has no cold face and is silent, which is already the best courtesy for the detainees.

Xu Xiangkun was dressed in the collar of Xing Wei's Mansion and sat facing Wan Ziyu. After three days of detention, although there was no embarrassment, Wan Ziyu's face could not hide the haggard look, but his eyes were bright and calm.

"Xu Geling sent someone to bring the old man here, just to sit down?" Wan Ziyu, who was interrogated, spoke first.

"Oh. Xu Xiangkun waved his hand, and immediately a jailer brought tea, Xu Xiangkun looked at Wan Ziyu's majestic eyes, but he was a little uncomfortable, "Lord Wan is joking, I just want to talk to you." ”

"Xu Geling is polite, if you have something to say, you don't have to talk about your heart. Wan Ziyu sat upright, "The old man is just your prisoner now, not an 'adult'." But no matter how you ask, what the old man hasn't done is what he hasn't done. If you have to use your Xing Wei Mansion's set, the old man can only prove his innocence by death. ”

"Wan Daren is serious, he doesn't mean this, and he doesn't have the courage. Xu Xiangkun hurriedly stood up and hurriedly explained, but an unpredictable smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to signal the jailer to retreat.

When the door was closed, Xu Xiangkun walked to Wan Ziyu's side and whispered, "Yesterday, I was ordered to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when the wind was high and the night was dark, the sound of the autumn wind was a little louder, which was really a headache. ”

Wan Ziyu's eyebrows tightened, could it be that Xu Xiangkun deliberately reminded himself of something? Wan Ziyu glanced at Xu Xiangkun and said, "The weather suddenly turned cold yesterday, did Xu Ge Ling add clothes?"

The jailer was guarding outside, passively listening to the conversation in the room from time to time, and several people felt strange, it was obviously an interrogation, even if the other party was a high-ranking prime minister, then the question must be asked, why did they blow them out, including the papers, and the two of them also greeted each other and asked about the warmth and coldness?

In the interrogation room of the prison, the 'interrogation' continues......

"Thank you for your concern, I didn't add clothes, but it rained, I was busy in the middle of the night, and I hurried at dawn, and now I have a headache and brain fever. Xu Xiangkun said, his right index finger dipped in some white water, and quickly wrote a name on the wooden tabletop: Li Zifeng.

Wan Ziyu frowned, Xu Xiangkun knocked on the table, as if complaining, "It's really troublesome." ”

Xu Xiangkun looked at the swaying figure outside, and said solemnly, "Lord Wan, I have said so many things to you from the bottom of my heart, don't you have nothing to say to your humble position? Xu Xiangkun wrote the word 'peace of mind' on the table.

Wan Ziyu frowned slightly, looking at Xu Xiangkun with scrutinizing eyes, he couldn't guess Xu Xiangkun's intentions, let alone judge the truth or falsehood, and he wouldn't believe it easily, he stroked his beard and said, "Xu Ge has a heart, and the old man will naturally not make you embarrassed in front of His Majesty." I wonder if Xu Geling has the patience to listen to the old man?"

"Thank you for your understanding. Xu Xiangkun smiled knowingly and shouted outside the door, "Where are the documents?!"

Wei Xun, the clerk who retreated to guard outside, was ordered to enter, "Pavilion leader!"

Xu Xiangkun pointed to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table next to him, and said, "Sit there and listen attentively, and write down every word that Lord Wan said, word for word, if there is any mistake or omission, it is for you to ask!"

"Obey!" Wei Xun sat upright, picking up his pen and preparing to write......
