Chapter 123 The Eighteenth Prince's Death Asking for the Moon
Lift her upper body and let her sit on the bed.
He supported her on the back to prevent her from falling, and smiled warmly, "Brother will never be able to comb your hair again. After this time, they promised me and begged Father to let you out. When you get out of the Zongren Mansion,
, the people arranged by my brother will take you out of the capital. You should never come back again, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and you must live happily."
He took out a comb from his arms and combed Princess Weiwei's hair.
The movements are very light and very slow.
Every time I comb it, I feel reluctant to leave it, as if I want to remember this scene in front of me forever.
but!
There will be an end eventually, even if it's very slow, it's still over.
"Alas!" The eighteenth prince sighed.
Put her gently on the bed, lean over her forehead, and then put the wooden comb in her hand.
Looking at the slightly childish and immature face in front of me.
Thinking of everything she (Concubine Jiang) had done and the grievances their brothers and sisters had suffered these days, I felt sour and couldn't help crying anymore.
"I'm a man and can't cry! My sister still wants me to protect her," the eighteenth prince said.
Wiping away the tears on his face, his face was resolute and his eyes were firmer than ever before.
Go to the mirror and tidy up your appearance to make yourself look more energetic.
Even if we go into an abyss, we can't lose our integrity.
The door opens.
He walked out quietly and closed the door gently.
There are dragon blood warriors guarding the surrounding area.
In the past, if he dared to come out, the dragon-blood warrior would immediately scold him and order him to go back.
But now.
These dragon-blooded warriors acted as if they hadn't seen him before. They were doing whatever they were supposed to do, as if they didn't exist and were just air.
Turn around.
I reluctantly took one last look at the room.
It seemed like it was going to be completely still at this moment.
a long time.
Withdrawing his gaze, the Eighteenth Prince was no longer nostalgic, his heart was filled with despair, and he walked outside with a cold face.
Once he is gone, he will be beyond redemption.
Purgatory.
After leaving the eldest princess, Xiao Ran stopped here in the hall.
Looking at the roaring fire of purgatory and the filthy atmosphere around him, he sighed, "How great would it be if there was a stone table here that was not afraid of them?"
Shake his head.
Opening the Golden Book of Creation and imprisoning the Ninth Prince, there was an unprecedented explosion and a total of eight rewards were displayed.
This is the most violent explosion since I got it.
Two million proficiencies, two hundred years of martial arts cultivation, two hundred years of soul cultivation, vitality regeneration fruit, Tianling Yuanqi fruit (10), Kunpeng Body Tempering Pill (3), True Dragon Fighting Technique (Tongtian), Qinglian Sword Technique
(Tongtian).
They are all good things, and each one is precious.
True Dragon Fighting Technique: Practice the skills in the physical body, maintain the nature of the physical body, and then possess all the characteristics of a true dragon.
Think for a moment.
Divide the two million proficiencies into two parts, one million each.
Added the True Dragon Fighting Technique and Qinglian Sword Technique respectively.
Property refresh.
True Dragon Fighting Technique: A superficial test.
Qinglian Sword Technique: A superficial test.
The martial arts has completely broken through to the tenth level of Xuanzong Realm, and there is still 1950 years left before the next level of Wuwang Realm.
From the Xuanzong realm to the Wuwang realm is a threshold. Once you cross it, you will soar into the sky, your combat power will double, and your strength will become even more terrifying.
The spiritual master's cultivation level is still three hundred years away from the tenth level of the earth realm.
Vitality Regeneration Fruit: Contains three hundred years of longevity.
He had already taken one before and took this one again.
His lifespan has been increased by three hundred years. His current lifespan, even if his cultivation level is no longer breakthrough, can still live to more than a thousand years.
The huge life potential brings about very strong life potential.
The body is full of majestic power.
Take out three Kunpeng Body Tempering Pills, temper your physical body, and use the power of Kunpeng to make your physical body stronger. After digesting the power of the medicine, your physical body will advance further and become comparable to a warrior at the ninth level of Xuanzong Realm.
"We are about to break through to the Martial King realm." Xiao Ran looked forward to it.
Walk to the Ninth Prince.
He opened the cell door and walked in.
Seeing him coming, the Ninth Prince looked ferocious, all his education had been eaten by the dog.
He was going crazy at the moment. If looks could kill, he would not hesitate to cut Xiao Ran into pieces.
He spoke with great perseverance, "Stop it quickly..."
Xiao Ran pinched his chin, "As long as you tell the truth, I will naturally let you go!"
"Fart! It was not my fault at all." The Ninth Prince was furious.
"You still dare to be tough now?" Xiao Ran sneered.
He opened his bow left and right, and slapped his face roughly with two big mouths.
The huge force knocked him unconscious.
He waved his hand and grabbed it.
The jailer who had transformed from Xingchensha was put away, and a ladle of cold water was poured on his face. Stimulated by the coolness, the Ninth Prince woke up leisurely.
Before he could speak, severe pain replaced his reason again.
At this time.
Footsteps sounded from outside, and the person coming was Shen Yiming.
It's been such a long time and Xiao Ran hasn't come out yet. Shen Yiming was worried and came over to take a look.
Looking at the miserable condition of the Ninth Prince.
His hair was disheveled, his luxurious brocade clothes were torn, his face was as swollen as a pig's head, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the corners of his mouth. Even if Emperor Shengwen came in person, he might not be able to recognize him.
Dumbfounded, he froze on the spot.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Ran asked.
Get out of the cell and walk to the edge with him.
"Don't get involved in this matter." Xiao Ran reminded.
"Did you use torture?" Shen Yiming frowned.
"Have you ever thought about yourself?"
Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder twice, "We are already involved, and there is no way out. We can only go one way to the end. Furthermore, you let Xiao Zhou and Taoist Master stay in the Divine Sword Guard, which is to protect them."
There was a pause.
Xiao Ran continued: "If we don't touch him, others will touch us! If he is afraid of interrogating because of his identity, we will have to bear the blame. Furthermore, from the moment we take over, there is no way out. No matter what
Whether you do it or not, what should come will always come.”
"I know this, but isn't this too tragic?" Shen Yiming sighed.
Who dares to believe it.
A moment ago, the Ninth Prince was still aloof.
The next second, he was worse than a dog, unable to survive or die, struggling in despair and pain.
"If you have other ways to get him to talk, then do it!" Xiao Ran joked.
"..." Shen Yiming was speechless.
Be silent for a while.
He made up his mind, entered the cell, and took the whip in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ran guessed a little bit.
"I can't let you handle this alone!" Shen Yiming said solemnly.
Under the angry gaze of the Ninth Prince, spiritual power was added to the whip and he was whipped roughly.
"ah……"
No matter how tough a man is, he will collapse under double torture.
Inhuman screams came from the Ninth Prince's mouth, causing him to struggle desperately in pain.
This moment.
He regretted it so much. If he hadn't been careless, if he hadn't wanted to make a comeback, maximize his power, and take advantage of this opportunity to rise in one fell swoop, how could he have been mistreated like this?
Xiao Ran didn't stop him and watched calmly.
Some things don't need to be said. Men's friendship is that simple.
A quarter of an hour later.
The whip was broken, and Shen Yiming stopped.
Looking at his face, which was swollen into a pig's head, he didn't let go and rushed forward, greeting him with dozens of big mouths.
When it was done, it stopped.
"It's cool!" Shen Yiming let out a long breath.
"That's it?" Xiao Ran joked.
"It's so cool!" Shen Yiming said.
"You only have this little ink, but you are still a scholar."
"You watch here, I'll go out for a while." Shen Yiming said.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran agreed.
After he left, Xiao Ran continued to supervise here.
In the palace.
The Eighteenth Prince knelt outside the royal study, and no one paid attention to him. The Imperial Guards, Dragon Blood Warriors, Dragon Royal Guards, etc. around him seemed to have not seen him.
Royal study room.
Emperor Shengwen sat on the dragon chair. This time he did not review the memorials, but looked at the closed palace door.
His gaze seemed to penetrate everything and fall on the eighteenth prince.
"You said that I acquiesced in allowing them to do this, is it right or wrong?"
Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch Liang were shocked. These words were too scary and difficult to answer!
Before they could speak, Emperor Shengwen spoke again.
"After all, he is my child, even if the tiger is poisonous, it will not eat its children. Since he has chosen this path, the crimes committed by Concubine Jiang will be wiped out! Send me an order to have Weiwei be well served by the Zongren Mansion and wait for this matter. Afterwards, she was released and the standard was improved."
"It's Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhu responded.
"Go and tell him not to leave with regrets." After saying that, he was tired.
After all, it was his son who stood up from the throne and left through the door of the apse.
The palace door opens.
Eunuch Zhu walked out and stopped in front of the eighteenth prince.
He took out his handkerchief, wiped it on his face, and said seriously: "Your Majesty asked this old slave to tell His Highness that you have a safe trip!"
"He did it after all!" The Eighteenth Prince laughed miserably.
Zhu Eunuch didn't say much, turned around and left.
Qinglongfang.
Residence No. 88, the palace of the Ninth Prince, a luxurious carriage stopped here, the curtain was opened, and an old man got out of the carriage.
The Ninth Prince is not here and has been imprisoned in purgatory.
Taoist Master Xuanxin was respected in the mansion. After receiving the news, he personally came out and welcomed the old man into the mansion.
Back hall study.
In addition to them, there was Aunt Xue in the room.
There are strong men guarding it outside.
Aunt Xue poured two cups of brewed snow ginseng tea, placed them in front of them, and served them respectfully.
"Mr. Cui, why are you here?" Taoist priest Xuanxin was very polite.
The old man's name is Cui Mingzhi.
took a sip of tea.
Cui Lao sighed: "It is indeed a snow ginseng tea. It has rich spiritual energy and a unique taste that makes people have endless aftertaste."
Put down the tea cup.
Looking at Taoist Master Xuanxin: "How long has it been since His Highness Ninth Prince was taken away?"
"It's been almost a day." Taoist priest Xuanxin said.
"When I came here, I heard that the people responsible for this matter were called Shen Yiming and Xiao Ran. The former was an abandoned son of the Shen family, but he was theirs after all. Now that there are some special circumstances in the Shen family, his existence is obvious. It stands out. The latter is a bit simpler, with an ordinary family background, just a hereditary little jailer. He got where he is today through some bad luck."
The tone was serious, unprecedentedly serious.
"But he once held the eldest princess's True Dragon Order, and he is suspected to be the eldest princess's person. The last time the eldest princess activated the True Dragon Order and came to the palace, no one knew what she talked about with His Majesty, let alone the reason. But one thing is, they are not simple."
Taoist priest Xuanxin is not an idiot, otherwise he would not be able to become the chief adviser to the Ninth Prince.
"You mean, they dare to torture His Highness?"
Mr. Cui shook his head, "Be confident, they will definitely punish His Highness Ninth Prince."
Wave your hands.
To stop Taoist Master Xuanxin from continuing, he said again.
"Firstly, their identity means that we cannot attack them openly. Secondly, the two people have similar personalities, almost exactly the same. Once they identify something, even ten cows can't pull it back.
Be moved by any foreign affairs."
Bang!
Taoist priest Xuanxin slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "How dare they!"
Looking at Mr. Cui.
Taoist priest Xuanxin disappeared in anger and asked rationally: "You always come here, don't you just tell me this matter?"
Cui Lao smiled slightly and said, "You guessed it right. I have a great gift for His Highness Ninth Prince when I come here this time."
Taoist priest Xuanxin listened attentively.
"I have a granddaughter who has a beautiful face and a moonlit face. She is as beautiful as a flower when the moon is closed. She is well-educated and gentle. She is gentle and virtuous. If she and His Highness the Ninth Prince form a happy marriage for a hundred years, it will definitely be a good story." Mr. Cui said with a smile.
"This is a good thing, but I can't make the decision." Taoist priest Xuanxin smiled slightly and declined politely.
"Before this matter has been settled, the evidence they have now can convict His Highness Ninth Prince. I know that you have prepared a backup plan, but you have ignored one point. His Highness Ninth Prince should not personally
In danger!"
He took a sip of tea while holding the teacup.
"As people get older, they feel a little thirsty after just saying a few words."
Aunt Xue took the teapot and filled it for him again.
Take a sip.
Cui Lao continued: "His Majesty Ninth Prince is in their hands. If they use torture, His Highness Ninth Prince can no longer hold on and says something that shouldn't be said. Even if your back-ups come in handy, what will happen? At that time,
Even if His Highness Ninth Prince can escape, it is already too late."
"Since you have a high opinion of His Highness Ninth Prince and want to marry him, you would like to know what kind of character His Highness is. Do you think torture is effective for anything he doesn't want to say?"
After a pause, Taoist Master Xuanxin continued.
"As long as His Majesty is not convicted for a day, His Highness will be a prince. Do you think they dare?"
Taoist priest Xuanxin also had doubts about this.
He had heard about Xiao Ran.
But he did not expect that Shen Yiming's identity was that he was an abandoned son of the Shen family. As long as his surname was Shen, they would not dare to do anything openly.
Unless he leaves the capital, he will never have the chance to make a move.
Except for outside moves.
"Even so, can you afford to gamble?" Mr. Cui asked.
Taoist priest Xuanxin was silent, indeed! They couldn't afford to gamble. Once they failed, they would lose everything.
Facing the other princes surrounding him, once they pounce, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Cui Lao used his move again, "I happen to have some evidence in my hand, and I know who is planning for His Highness Ninth Prince to lead the dirty water to him."
brush!
Taoist Priest Xuanxin's eyes flashed, and he looked at him seriously, "Is this true?"
"As long as His Highness the Ninth Prince agrees to the marriage, I will use the thousand-year reputation of the Cui family to guarantee that the matter will be done so that the people behind the scenes will not be able to stand up. In this way, coupled with the back-up prepared by you, His Highness the Ninth Prince will be able to make a comeback. If they
The two of them dared to torture themselves privately, and we were able to seize the opportunity to capture them in one fell swoop."
Taoist priest Xuanxin meditated for a longer time this time.
Mr. Cui did not rush, but patiently drank the snow ginseng tea and waited. He believed that Taoist Master Xuanxin was a smart man and knew what to do.
As for his promise, can the Ninth Prince agree?
He firmly believed in this. He could become the confidant of the Ninth Prince. If he didn't even have this ability, how could he climb to this position?
Finished a cup of tea.
He hasn't made up his mind yet.
Mr. Cui once again added another blow: "It's okay for us to delay a little time outside, but it will be a pain for His Highness Ninth Prince."
This sentence.
Overriding Taoist Master Xuanxin’s last insistence.
Although his marriage with the Cui family has increased his power dramatically, reaching the level of the eldest prince, second prince, and third prince in one fell swoop, he will also emerge from the dark to the bright side.
Becoming one of the powerful targets in the fight for the crown prince.
but.
Even if there is no marriage, after this incident, as long as the Ninth Prince can escape.
Those princes are not fools. How could it be so simple to escape unscathed from such a situation? They would also step up to the stage.
In an instant, Taoist Master Xuanxin considered all aspects of the matter.
"Okay! I promise you. On the day His Highness clears his name, I will personally persuade him to go to your Cui family to propose marriage." Taoist priest Xuanxin said.
"Smart! I knew you wouldn't let me down." Mr. Cui nodded with satisfaction.
A flash.
It's already the third day.
Three days down.
All the forces in the capital are waiting and watching secretly to see if the Divine Sword Guard can solve the case and bring justice to the scholars in the world.
During this period.
The Excalibur Guards are under a lot of pressure.
today.
Tens of thousands of scholars, as well as those taking exams, once again gathered on Zhuque Avenue and stopped outside the south gate of the palace.
"Three days are up, hand over the murderer!"
"We will never give up until we are given an explanation!"
"We want to see His Majesty! We want His Majesty to seek justice for us!"
The crowd was excited and shouting at the top of their lungs.
The general of the Forbidden Army came forward with a cold face and asked someone to draw a white line a hundred feet away. Anyone who crossed the line would be killed without mercy.
at the same time.
Then he ordered the general to keep him here while he went to the palace himself to report the matter.
Outside Xuanhe Hall.
All civil and military officials are waiting here.
Fu Xianhe was as straight as before, with a resolute face, not afraid of wind and rain, but his eyes were firm.
Looking at the closed palace door, they were waiting for Emperor Shengwen to announce his visit.
Yangyuan Hall.
Eunuch Zhu came in from outside and stopped in front of Emperor Shengwen, "Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived."
"Yeah." Emperor Shengwen responded.
Zhu Eunuch ordered to go down and let the ministers enter the Xuanhe Hall.
The palace door opens.
A eunuch came out and shouted with a rooster's voice: "Your Majesty has a decree to announce that all the ministers should enter the palace!"
When they entered the main hall, Emperor Shengwen was dressed neatly, came late from the palace door at the back, and sat on the dragon chair.
"The evidence is conclusive. Your Majesty, please convict the Ninth Prince and bring peace to the world's scholars." A minister jumped out.
As he took the lead, many people immediately agreed.
Only a few people remained silent.
Among them were Sangong and others, as well as Fu Xianhe, and military commanders.
Emperor Shengwen looked at Fu Xianhe, "Is there any result?"
Fu Xianhe glanced at the sky and saw that it was still a while before noon, but his expression remained unchanged, "It's not time yet."
"Really?" Emperor Shengwen looked amused.
At this time.
A young eunuch walked over quickly. Under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials, he whispered a few words in Eunuch Zhu's ear, then bent down and exited through the side door.
Eunuch Zhu said a few words in Emperor Shengwen's ear again, and Emperor Shengwen nodded.
After getting the order, I wish my father-in-law to leave.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he disappeared.
They wondered, could something else have changed?
Didn't make them wait any longer.
Soon the eighteenth prince came in from outside.
Some smart people had already guessed something. Looking at Emperor Shengwen sitting on the dragon throne, they were shocked and tried to change the situation.
"My son has met my father!" The eighteenth prince saluted.
"Didn't you see that I am discussing government affairs with the ministers?" Emperor Shengwen scolded with a sullen face.
thump!
The eighteenth prince knelt on the ground with his head on the ground, "I deserve death for my crime. I came here to confess my sins this time!"
"What have you committed?" Emperor Sheng Wen's face was expressionless.
"My son used the art of disguise to pretend to be Ninth Brother, and secretly ordered the left minister of the Ministry of Rites to steal the test questions stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites, and then sold the test questions to Lin Yunyi and others at a high price, and helped them think of ways to cheat.
." said the eighteenth prince.
hiss!
The ministers took a deep breath and looked at him in disbelief.
The word "conspiracy" came to mind.
"Do you know what you are talking about? Once the crime is confirmed, you will be beyond redemption. I ask you one last time, are you serious about this?"
"My son knew what he was doing. This matter was indeed his fault. I didn't expect that it would cause such a big trouble to my father!"
Speaking of which.
The eighteenth prince raised his head and looked at Emperor Shengwen without sadness or joy.
Emperor Shengwen looked at him.
I saw him continue to say: "I am willing to die to apologize and give justice to the scholars in the world!"
"Stop him quickly!" Emperor Shengwen ordered.
Eunuch Zhu understood the situation and deliberately took it a step slowly.
When the Eighteenth Prince raised his hand, he slapped his head violently, smashing his head into pieces, and fell to the ground weakly, then he rushed in front of him and helped him up from the ground.
"Why are you doing this, Your Highness?"
The eighteenth prince turned his head hard and looked at Emperor Shengwen, "My son deserves what he deserves. Please take good care of my sister. She is innocent..."
His breath disappeared, his eyes closed, and his arms dropped weakly.
Eunuch Zhu tested his nose. He was very good at acting. His face changed drastically and he shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is gone!"
Bang!
Emperor Shengwen had a cold face and patted the imperial case.
Everyone knelt on the ground, except the three gentlemen who remained indifferent.
Looking at Fu Xianhe, "Is this the answer you got from your investigation?"
Fu Xianhe's expression did not change, "Your Highness passed away, I am heartbroken! But I still insist on my point of view, the time has not yet come."
"Okay! Very good! There is less than half an hour until noon, I can afford to wait." Emperor Sheng Wen sneered.
Let the body of the eighteenth prince be carried down and buried.
Purgatory.
Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming looked solemn.
"Today is the third day. If there is no result before noon, we will be very passive." Shen Yiming said.
"Wait for me here." Xiao Ran said.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Yiming asked hurriedly.
"He has been able to persist until now, and he has reached his limit. I don't believe he can continue to persist."
"Just be careful, I'm here waiting for your good news."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran responded.
Entered the Ninth Prince's cell again.
After three consecutive days of torture, coupled with not eating or drinking, and not even a sip of water, the Ninth Prince had reached the limit, and even his screams became weak. No matter how much the pain was, his screams were pitifully small.
.
The blood on his body had dried and his face was swollen badly, worse than a pig.
In addition, it is dark in purgatory and the lights are very dim.
At the beginning, he could still calculate the time roughly by relying on calculations.
But after three days, under the torment of pain, he had long forgotten the time, and there was only one thought in his mind: this prince must not die here.
Otherwise, all the plans will be in vain, and instead they will benefit others and make wedding dresses for other princes.
See Xiao Ran.
Before Xiao Ran could take action again, he took the initiative and said, "Stop! Stop it quickly, I said..."
Even his title has changed, which shows how severe his punishment was.
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he felt as if happiness came too suddenly.
Just a little bit.
Temporarily relieving the pain on his body, he shouted coldly: "Speak!"
Take out the pen and paper and start recording.
"I had someone reveal the test questions to my twelfth brother, but I didn't do it! My original intention was just to make a joke with my twelfth brother. But in the end, I didn't expect that both he and I were being plotted.
Oh, someone is actually behind the scenes and tricking us into it." The Twelve Prince said.
"Didn't you do it?" Xiao Ran frowned.
"At this point, I have become like this, do you think I still need to lie?"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and felt that what he said was true.
Judging from his eyes, tone of voice, and expression on his face, he didn't seem to be lying.
"Did the twelfth prince do this?" Xiao Ran asked again.
"I don't know! I also suspect that it's him. The person I secretly arranged for him disappeared mysteriously. But with his IQ, it's not that I look down on him. It might be okay to eat, drink and have fun. If you want to set up such a perfect game, you will
I plotted to get in, and yet he made me so passive, without any news coming out, he is not worthy of it!" the Ninth Prince sneered.
"I have told everything I know, you can go and report it."
Xiao Ran glanced at him again with a scrutinizing look. Was it really not him?
He handed the pen over and took out the ink pad.
The Ninth Prince signed and stamped his signature, signed his name on the "criminal evidence", and then pressed his fingerprint.
At this time.
It happened to be noon.
A group of people appeared, just outside the Tianlao. The leader was Sun Ying, who came to extract the Ninth Prince on the order of Emperor Shengwen.
They just stopped.
Another group of people appeared, this time from the Divine Sword Guard.
The leader was Qin Fangzhen, and the two waves of people met here in Tianlao.
Both parties knew each other, but they were just acquaintances.
Qin Fangzhen said: "What is the purpose of Eunuch Sun coming here?"
Sun Ying smiled but said, "According to His Majesty's decree, our family has come to retrieve the Ninth Prince."
The conversation changed and it became a bit aggressive.
"This is Deputy Sword Master Qin?"
"This deputy sword master is here to inspect the Tianlao!" Qin Fangzhen said.
They entered the prison one after another.
The captain hurriedly asked someone to pass the news to Xiao Ran.
The entrance to the ninth floor is here.
Shen Yiming sent the jailer away and quickly entered purgatory. He stopped at the Ninth Prince and saw Xiao Ran taking the "evidence of guilt" from him.
His eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Did he speak?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
After handing over the incriminating evidence and taking it, Shen Yiming looked at it seriously, his brows knitted together more and more.
"Could it be that he didn't do it?"
The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly and said miserably: "I have been tortured into this state by you, do you think I still need to lie?"
"That's true." Shen Yiming nodded.
Looking at Xiao Ran.
"Based on the current evidence alone, we have an explanation. We can live up to the world's scholars, preserve the reputation of the Divine Sword Guard, and have not let down those who support us."
"Yes! If he keeps pushing for a while, noon will be here, exactly three days later, and we will be very passive by then." Xiao Ran nodded.
The Ninth Prince was stunned.
What did he hear?
Today is the third day? I have persisted for so long, and I am just a short time away from victory.
But at this critical level, with just a little time left, he didn't hold on?
Think of this.
The grievances I had suffered in the past three days, and the fact that I couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief, filled my heart with anger, and I shouted angrily, "Ah! This prince is not convinced..."
Wow!
He spat out a blood arrow, closed his eyes, and passed out from anger.
Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming looked at each other.
"Are you angry with him on purpose?" Shen Yiming said.
Xiao Ran shrugged, "I didn't expect that his endurance would be so bad."
"Nonsense! After being tortured by us until now, even if you are not crazy, your will is already very strong. You finally opened your mouth, but in the end you learned that you are only one step away from success. No matter who you are, you will not be able to bear it." Shen Yiming turned over. A roll of eyes.
After saying that, he laughed to himself.
"Someone is coming from the palace, and Deputy Sword Master Qin is also here. He is waiting in the hall on the first floor. He wants to extract the Ninth Prince." Shen Yiming said.
"It came really fast." Xiao Ran said.
"Let's go! It's time for the truth to come out." Shen Yiming greeted.
Untie the iron chains binding the Ninth Prince.
The two men escorted the Ninth Prince and walked outside.
We arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming carrying a disheveled criminal who looked miserable and inhuman shape.
Qin Fangzhen said: "Where is His Highness Ninth Prince?"
Shen Yiming handed the Ninth Prince to the jailer to support him, and pushed the messy hair away from his face, revealing a face that was even more exaggerated than a pig's head.
If you look carefully, you can still see a bit of the Ninth Prince in the outline.
See here.
Sun Ying couldn't hold it back any longer, and burst out in anger, pointing at Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming, "How outrageous! Who gave you the power to abuse the lynching of His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
It turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed forward quickly.
Two palms were shot out, with huge palm force, and they were slapped at Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming respectively. It looked like they were going to seriously injure them.
"Have you ever asked this deputy sword master about touching my man in front of my deputy sword master?" Qin Fangzhen sneered.
He stood in front of them and slapped them away with his backhand.
The violent palm force knocked Sun Ying back three steps before he stopped.
Sun Ying took back his palm, which was still numb. He ignored the shock of Qin Fangzhen's improvement in cultivation, and said in a deep tone, coldly: "You want to rebel?"
"Fuck your mother! I have worked hard for the country and the people all my life. If you dare to make false accusations again, even if it is just one word, I will risk your life today and destroy you! I will take you to His Majesty again." Ask for an explanation there." Qin Fangzhen pointed at his nose and cursed.
Sun Ying was speechless.
Qin Fangzhen said again: "According to the confession of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, he is highly suspected. Since he is a suspect, no matter what his identity is, we have the right to interrogate him. It is within the scope of our duties. How can we press him?"
Sun Ying was speechless in retorting.
"Hmph! Take His Highness Ninth Prince with you and let's go!"
With a wave of their hands, the two young eunuchs rushed forward, helped the Ninth Prince and left quickly.
Wait until they leave.
Qin Fangzhen looked at Xiao Ran and the two of them, "How's it going?"
Shen Yiming took out the Ninth Prince's confession and handed it over.
After receiving the evidence, Qin Fangzhen looked at it carefully.
quite a while.
Looking at Shen Yiming, "That's it? Is it gone?"
"Yeah." Shen Yiming nodded.
"Judging from the interrogation, he probably really didn't know. However, this matter has nothing to do with him. With this evidence of guilt, it is enough to give an explanation to scholars all over the world."
"You did a good job! You didn't let us down." Qin Fangzhen was very satisfied.
"You don't have to worry about what happens next. Just wait patiently for the news."
After a few words of explanation, Qin Fangzhen hurriedly took the people away.
After they left.
The Divine Sword Guard troops deployed in the sky prison also withdrew with them.
Xiao Ran and he sat on the chair, both of them were very relaxed. Shen Yiming took the teapot, poured a cup for Xiao Ran, and poured another cup for himself. He drank tea and joked: "What do you think he will do?"
"It's hard to say! If the punishment is light, the ministers of civil and military affairs will not accept it, and all the scholars in the world will not accept it! If it is a severe punishment, he may not be able to be cruel," Xiao Ran said.
"I think the same as you, I can watch the show with peace of mind this time." Shen Yiming said with a smile.
Finished the tea.
The two of them left the prison together.
"Be careful on the road and pay attention to safety. Go back and wash yourself well and have a good sleep." Shen Yiming reminded.
"You too." Xiao Ran asked.
The two separated.
Xiao Ran walked towards Jing Wenfang's home, while Shen Yiming returned to the Divine Sword Guard.
Xiao Zhou and Taoist Master Xuanyang are still waiting for their news.
…
Gu Qiuhe was very happy. He walked with crab steps. He had money in his pocket and was not panicking.
Just now.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he planned to work hard and get some money from his second uncle. He had already thought of an excuse. Wasn't Qiu Wei suspended?
He plans to buy some more materials and review them over the next few days.
As soon as he opened his mouth to withdraw the money, Mr. Gu was worried, so he took out 50,000 taels and threw it to him, telling him to disappear quickly.
Take the money.
Gu Qiuhe left happily.
"Master, why don't we go back today? They are busy "exam questions" leaking the case and have no time to worry about us. Why not take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a good time?" the guard suggested.
Gu Qiuhe's heart was moved.
The guard struck again: "When you left last time, Sister Hong and Sister Qing were very reluctant to leave you!"
Hear the words.
Gu Qiuhe made up his mind, "You are right! If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to have fun, once I join the court as an official in high school, I will not have this opportunity in the future."
There was a pause.
Gu Qiuhe was nervous: "Is it really appropriate to go at this time?"
He is also a scholar.
The guard also hesitated, "It's a bit inappropriate!"
"Then forget it! We won't go, let's go do something else." Gu Qiuhe made up his mind with heartache.
Bang!
Someone walked towards him and bumped into his chest with great force, knocking him to the ground.
The guard hurriedly helped him up from the ground. Seeing this man wanting to leave, Gu Qiuhe shouted: "You bumped into this young master, and you want to leave without even saying an apology? Stop him quickly."
The guard rushed forward and stood in front of this man.
"You walk without eyes? Don't you know how to apologize if you bump into someone?"
This person's name is He Er. He has something important to do and it is of great importance, so he is in such a hurry. Even if he bumps into someone, he has to leave in a hurry.
Seeing that they were blocking their way, he said with a cold face: "Get out of the way!"
Gu Qiuhe became even more angry. It was true that he was a second-generation official and his family was powerful, but he never bullied others based on his status.
Although he may not be serious all day long, he also has a stubborn temper.
When he got angry, even his father dared to contradict him.
I was suffocating in my heart. Seeing that he was still so arrogant, I immediately became angry, as if a powder keg had been lit. "Is this your attitude?"
"Didn't you hear me telling you to get out of the way?" He Er said coldly.
Gu Qiuhe laughed angrily, "What if you don't let me?"
"Throw you out!" He Er said.
He took a step forward, quickly reached out with his palm, and grabbed Gu Qiuhe's neck, preparing to throw him out.
Gu Qiuhe hurriedly backed away and said angrily: "If you can't win this time, get out of here, Master!"
The guard expressed his position: "Young master, you are optimistic, there will be no problem this time."
Facing He Er's grasped palm, he punched hard: "Kneel down!"
Bang!
The huge punch force exploded his palms, hit his chest, and knocked him away.
The guard was stunned, looked at his fist, and said to himself: "When did I become so strong?"
"Good job." Gu Qiuhe nodded.
He walked quickly to He Er and looked at him with a sneer: "Are you still crazy now?"
"Get out of your way!" He Er shouted anxiously, ignoring the pain of his broken arm.
When he wanted to get up from the ground, Gu Qiuhe stepped on his chest to prevent him from standing up.
"You still don't give in now, you are so bold!" Gu Qiuhe sneered.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ran happened to be passing by.
When returning home to Jingwenfang, this is the closest road.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you investigating the "exam question" case? Why are you free?" Gu Qiuhe's eyes lit up.
Welcoming him quickly.
When He Er heard about the "examination questions", he panicked. He put his remaining palm on the ground and got up. He bent down and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
The guards were keeping an eye on him all the time. He finally defeated one. If he didn't take the opportunity to show off now, when would he do it again?
"Did my young master let you go?"
She grabbed the clothes on his back with her palms, threw him to the ground again, stepped on his chest, and refused to let him leave.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ran was curious.
"This kid is too arrogant." Gu Qiuhe said angrily.
Explained things again.
"It's indeed a bit crazy." Xiao Ran nodded.
Looking at Xiao Ran's silver sword robe, He Er became even more panicked, "Can't I apologize?"
He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to raise his head, let alone look into Xiao Ran's eyes.
As a Silver Sword Guard, he is also the steward of Purgatory.
Xiao Ran has dealt with many criminals and countless monsters. Judging from his behavior, there must be something wrong with this person, otherwise he would not be so afraid of himself and would not even dare to face him.
"Are you afraid of me?"
