Chapter Seventy-One: The Black Hand

The Skylark Street of Wei'an City suddenly became lively, and the royal soldiers of the brigade surrounded the entire Xingwei Mansion, and for a while, Xing Weifu was like an iron bucket inlaid with thistles, and it would hurt if it was touched. A few civilians who wanted to see the excitement were also brutally driven away by the officers and soldiers with weapons. Those who set up stalls nearby were also driven away.

Emperor Zhu Xingzhan, Prince Zhu Luoyun, King of Qingping, Zhu Luofeng, King of Yikun, and Zhu Xingyi, King of Kun, gathered in Xingwei Mansion, such a big battle is really rare, and the last time was five years ago when a prisoner assassinated Zhu Luofeng.

The inner room of Xingwei Mansion is full of sunshine, sandalwood, and green potted plants are distributed in all corners, which are very eye-catching and very suitable for recuperation. On the soft couch in the back room, Wan Ziyu lay quietly, unconscious, and his breath was weak.

Shan Yinyun sat on the round stool next to the bed to check his pulse, the pulse was slow and unstable, the typical symptoms of poisonous fire attacking the heart, just... There seemed to be something not quite right, Shan Yinyun frowned.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xingzhan's voice was deep and his face was gloomy. Let the originally warm room suddenly cool down.

Shan Yinyun trembled, and hurriedly got up and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, judging from the pulse, it is liver fire stagnation..."

Zhu Xingzhan frowned, his cold eyes flicked over, Shan Yinyun understood, and said the key point directly, "The sudden onset of this symptom is a typical symptom of poisonous fire attacking the heart, as if it has been stimulated by the outside world. ”

"Like?" Zhu Xingzhan raised his eyebrows.

Shan Yinyun knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, it seems that there is still cold qi in Lord Wan's body, which is in harmony with the liver fire, resulting in an unstable pulse. And now it seems that this cold invades the body through both food and the environment in which it lives. ”

Zhu Xingzhan listened patiently, and then looked at Shang Pingrong, Shang Pingrong stepped forward and knelt beside Shan Yinyun, "Back to Your Majesty, since Lord Wan entered Xingwei Mansion, there are special people in charge of daily life and food, and the diet is all warm and replenishing ingredients, and the clothes and bedding in autumn are also in sufficient supply, and the ministers have also checked repeatedly, and there is no mistake......

"Shang Ge Ling. Even if everything is not wrong, but there is still the possibility of restraint between diets and drinks, so it seems to be warm, but in fact it is not impossible to produce extremely cold things, and the prison cell is a cold place, and the clothes and bedding are only a solution to the performance, and the adult disease is sudden from the inside and the surface, mostly related to diet, and the environment is only an external factor. ”

Shang Pingrong felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart, his right hand was tightly pinching the corner of his clothes, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.

Zhu Xingzhan got up and walked past the kneeling two people to the bedside, and looked at the sleeping Wan Ziyu, "These days, Doctor Shan stays here to take care of the prime minister, if there is any mistake or omission, ask you or ask!"

"Wechen obeyed. Shan Yinyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After the arrangement, Zhu Xingzhan took a group of people to the inner hall, and Shang Pingrong bore the brunt of the accident this time.

Zhu Xingzhan stared at Shang Pingrong, who was kneeling in front of him, for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "In this Xingwei Mansion, there are also places that you Shang Pavilion can't control. ”

Shang Pingrong hurriedly kowtowed, "It's the minister's negligence, and the minister must strictly investigate the jailers who have had contact with Lord Wan." ”

"It's not enough to thoroughly investigate the jailers, but also the hard labor of the prisoners who are doing their hard labor here. Zhu Luofeng heartily reminded, "It is not impossible that there are traitors hiding in Xing Wei's Mansion trying to kill people and destroy their mouths. Do you say yes?

Shang Pingrong's eyes suddenly tightened, Zhu Luofeng seemed to be kind to remind, but every word was with a knife, killing people invisibly, the so-called assassination incident five years ago was an example, Shang Pingrong came back to his senses, "Your Majesty, the minister will arrange a thorough investigation." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Xingzhan nodded, "Before dark, there must be a result." ”

"Obey. ”

Zhu Xingzhan looked at Zhu Xingyi, "Let's have King Lao Yikun with us!"

"Brother obeys. Zhu Xingyi arched his hand and left with Shang Pingrong.

Zhu Luoyun and Zhu Luofeng had their own thoughts and different expressions, and they were both looked at by Zhu Xingzhan, but he didn't say anything, just calmed down and took a sip of tea, "The prince and King Qingping sit down together and wait for the results!"

The two of them said in unison, "The son obeys the order." ”

The prisoners serving labor in the compound were all taken to a black cell, with a brick wall and iron door, and only a narrow window connected to the outside world, but only a long and dim passage and sporadic lights were connected.

The prisoners craned their necks to see what they could see. Only Li Zifeng and Xu Xiangkun were sitting quietly in the corner of the wall, and at this time, Li Zifeng was holding a stone and gesturing on the ground.

Xu Xiangkun casually picked up a straw and played with it, "It's all at this time, you still have the heart to paint." ”

Li Zifeng smiled slightly, "Otherwise, take advantage of the Holy Driver's presence and cry bitterly to survive?"

"Maybe it's time for me to get to know you again. ”

Xu Xiangkun looked at the calm Li Zifeng, and seemed to have guessed the cause and effect of Wan Ziyu's sudden emergency. Seeing that he was desperate for the belief in his heart, it was difficult for Xu Xiangkun to associate Li Zifeng with the timid and cowardly Li Shiying when he was a child, which were clearly two different people.

Li Zifeng didn't pay attention to Xu Xiangkun's words, but threw stones, patted the dust on his hands, as if he had completed a satisfactory work, Xu Xiangkun looked at Li Zifeng's paintings, and quipped, "Li Gongzi is very good at kung fu, he is also a good hand at painting, and his memory is also good." ”

Xu Xiangkun took a closer look and found that Li Zifeng's 'paintings' were somewhat familiar, like topographic maps somewhere. And Li Zifeng stopped talking, just stared carefully at a certain point on the picture to observe.

This brief silence did not last long before it was interrupted by the brutal jailers, who opened the cell door, grabbed two prisoners out at random, and locked the cell door again, and after a while, a cry of pain came from the place where the torture chamber was not far away, mixed with the sound of justification, "My lord Mingjian, I really didn't do it! Ahh

The screams of the torture reached the black cell, making the claustrophobic space even more gloomy, and several timid prisoners huddled together, shivering, and some even peed their pants.

Xu Xiangkun looked outside, and then looked at Li Zifeng worriedly, "Under the heavy punishment, even if it's okay, you will confide something, now that King Yikun is in charge, and the emperor is pressuring, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will go to half your life." ”

Li Zifeng wiped the marks on the ground and quipped, "Do you have some insight into what you have done?"

Xu Xiangkun looked at Li Zifeng with a deep gaze, "Why should I know you?"

"Because I'm a troublemaker, I get noticed everywhere I go. Li Zifeng smiled bitterly, "Actually, you really shouldn't have disobeyed the saint for me." Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so burdened by me. ”

"You regret it, don't forget, you promised to take me in, a homeless man. Xu Xiangkun sighed, he thought it was his joke that made Li Zifeng fall in love.

"I will do what I say, and I will not break my word. Li Zifeng pretended to be relaxed and said, "As long as I'm alive." ”

The cell door was opened again, and the two prisoners, who were covered in bruises and exhausted, were dragged in by the jailer and thrown to the ground, and the other new prisoners looked at them with trepidation, and some of the prisoners who had been in prison for a long time were already numb.

Li Zifeng trembled slightly, "This King Yikun is really ruthless. He couldn't figure out whether it was right or wrong to act according to Zhu Xingyi's instructions last night. and last night's unauthorized 'arrangement' of Zhu Xingyi's personal guard Ning Shi to 'die', whether he will be held accountable.

He had even experienced the feeling of being on the top of the torture instrument. Before he had time to think about it, he quickly made a few strokes on the ground.

"Li Zifeng!"

Hearing the jailer shouting his name, Li Zifeng pretended to be indifferent and stood up and walked over.

There were two jailers who came in, with a broad body, a fierce face, and a somewhat rough voice, "King Yikun is arraigned." ”

Li Zifeng was taken away, the cell door was locked again, Xu Xiangkun seemed to have just come back to his senses, I don't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to see a trace of determination in Li Zifeng's eyes, he gasped, and hurriedly checked the scratches left by Li Zifeng on the ground, and after a while, he finally pieced together a sentence intermittently: put it to death and then live!
