【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Wang Kuan squinted his eyes, his face was unhappy, his figure moved slightly, and he came to Yuan Zhongxin, blocking Master Xiao's sight, and said in a vaguely condensed tone, "Who are you?"

Master Xiao was still smiling, and he didn't take Wang Kuan's hostile attitude seriously at all. He nodded his head as a sign of salute, and replied gently: "I am subordinate to the Privy Council's Office Branch Cao to handle affairs and do miscellaneous tasks. The post of taking notes is called Xiao Heshu."

Yuan Zhongxin poked his head slightly out from behind Wang Kuan, and asked calmly, "Are you the official sent by the imperial court to deal with the Anlijiu incident?"

Didn't you mean senior officials?Why did you send someone to do miscellaneous notes?

Xiao Heshu looked very patient: "Yes."

Yuan Zhongxin came out from behind Wang Kuan, folded his arms, and said leisurely: "Then you said that An Lijiu let me interrogate, is this really true?"

Xiao Heshu said with a smile: "I, Xiao, promised Brother Yuan, so naturally I will take it seriously."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Kuan's heart burst into flames, and the light in his eyes became colder.

However, Wang Kuan was not the only one who was angry at the bottom of his heart at this time. Chang Yi was so angry that Yuan Zhongxin and Xiao Heshu's conversations went back and forth. , with a sullen face, he said in a deep voice, "Lord Xiao, I'm afraid this is against the rules."

Xiao Heshu stared at Chang Yi who spoke suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment, then said suspiciously: "Chang Dutou, so you are still here?"

Chang Yi: "..."

Xiao Heshu waved his hands nonchalantly, and said casually: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Since Brother Yuan said that this interrogation is a task arranged by their secret court, then naturally we must assist them to complete it."

Chang Yi was irritated by Xiao Heshu's irrelevant attitude, and he said angrily, "Yuan Zhongxin is cunning, who knows if he is going to play tricks in this interrogation!"

Xiao Heshu raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile: "Why, I often feel worried about my subordinates. Brother Yuan is interrogating in the camp, and here are all forbidden soldiers. If he really wants to play tricks, he can still do it in full view Bring out An Lijiu? If he can really do it, Chang Dutou, you should really review yourself." Chang Dutou was choked up speechless.

Xiao Heshu was too lazy to waste words with Chang Yi, waved his hand, and ordered: "Come here, take An Lijiu into the punishment room, except for the students from the Secret Pavilion who can go in for interrogation, and everyone else is waiting in the atrium."

Ji Linjun was in a dilemma, wanting to move but not daring to move.

Xiao Heshu frowned unhappily: "Why? Chang Dutou's words are words, but the words of officials sent down are not words?"

Hearing this, the Jilin army didn't dare to slack off any more, and swiftly escorted An Lijiu into the backyard, and found a nearby torture room for An Lijiu to enter.

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes flickered slightly, he leaned close to Wang Kuan, and whispered in his ear: "I don't worry about this guy surnamed Xiao, you and Zhao Jian Wei Ya Nei are guarding outside the room, if there is any trouble, tell me immediately .”

Wang Kuan asked worriedly, "Can you do it alone?"

Yuan Zhongxin raised his hand and patted Wang Kuan's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured, then turned around and followed into the execution room.

Seeing that Wang Kuan didn't intend to follow, Zhao Jian and Wei Yanei were puzzled, but they didn't ask any further questions, and followed Wang Kuan to guard in front of the execution room.

Xiao Heshu looked at the closed door with deep eyes, and sighed in his heart, he helped everything he could, and it was up to Yuan Zhongxin's fortune.Then, he turned his head and looked at Chang Yi, who was holding the sword hilt tightly, as if Yuan Zhongxin was about to draw his sword and rush forward if something strange happened, Xiao He resumed his distant and shallow smile in his writing, and asked loudly: "Chang Dutou recently, have you seen Mr. Meng?"

Chang Yi was taken aback for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she replied vigilantly: "No, why did Master Xiao ask this?"

Xiao Heshu looked indifferent: "It's nothing, I just find it quite strange. Mr. Meng has always been on good terms with Chang Dutou, so why did he not send him this time about An Lijiu, but sent me instead."

Chang Yi looked at Xiao He's book warily, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is wise, and I know that Master Xiao is very discerning and resourceful. Naturally, Master Xiao is highly valued."

Hearing this, Xiao Heshu's smile deepened, but the smile in his eyes lost a bit of truth: "So that's how it is."

In the torture room, Yuan Zhongxin and An Lijiuyi were speechless for a moment.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't know what he wanted to ask, and An Lijiu didn't know what he wanted to say. After a long silence, Yuan Zhongxin finally broke the dead silence: "Why did you do this?"

An Lijiu looked indifferent, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said after a while: "I have to."

Yuan Zhongxin originally thought that he would get angry, but at this time he felt hopeless. With An Lijiu's escape from prison before, the guards of the imperial army would be a hundred times more heavily guarded, and the execution time was approaching. Li Jiu is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth secretly: "If you are like this, what will Sister Suyi do?"

An Lijiu seemed to have never heard of it, the light in his eyes stopped suddenly, and he said as if talking to himself: "When Cheng Su recruited me into the poisonous lair as a spy, he showed me a list with fifty people on it. The names are all carefully arranged by him."

Yuan Zhongxin was astonished: "So you know the list."

An Lijiu raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were so plain that he almost lost his anger: "That's right, I know the list, and I also know that among the 50 people, only ten survived, including me. Died tragically at the hands of real drug dealers."

For a while, Yuan Zhongxin was at a loss for words.

An Lijiu recalled how he witnessed how his companions were tortured to the point of being inhuman. Compared with the interrogation of the imperial army, the torture tools and methods in the hands of drug dealers were even more cruel than the interrogation of the forbidden army. Luckily enough, It can also save a whole body, otherwise, it would be trivial to lose the bones and ashes. Sometimes, the drug dealers can directly find the family members of the spy. That is the real hell on earth.

He was helpless. He watched his companions die tragically one after another, and watched the drug dealers slaughter the secret houses one after another. He couldn't do anything. If he seized the handle, he would really be cornered.

An Lijiu promised Cheng Su that if he had no other choice, he would live to the end, because only he knew the list of details, and only he had the chance to turn things around.

However, this opportunity was killed more than a month ago, leaving no hope left.

Yuan Zhongxin clenched his fist tightly: "What happened a month ago?"

An Lijiu bit his tongue secretly, the pain stimulated him, and he forced him to reply with his only rationality: "When I was captured by the imperial army a month ago, there was another person who saw me. I don't know who she is, but The voice was an old woman, and she reported the names of the nine surviving masters without any mistakes."

Yuan Zhongxin's heart beat violently: "What did you say?"

An Li closed her eyes heavily, and after a while she concentrated, her voice was difficult: "She said that there is a deal, if Yuan Zhongxin can help me clear the suspicion, the true identities of the nine spies will be revealed immediately , if I die as a drug dealer, they will be safe."

Yuan Zhongxin sneered sarcastically: "An Lijiu, do you have a problem with your mind? You also believe that!"

An Lijiu looked up at him, and asked helplessly: "Then what if I don't believe it?"

Yuan Zhongxin forced himself to calm down, his voice trembling unconsciously: "Tell me the list of those nine people, and I will go and rescue those nine people, so that nothing will happen—tell me quickly, you There is still time!"

As long as those nine people are found, An Lijiu's true identity can be proved, and the grievances on him can be washed away!

An Lijiu stared at him for a long time, and suddenly, a desperate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yuan Zhongxin, do you think that those who know the list of nine people will not think of your method?"

Yuan Zhongxin became angry, and cursed at a high volume: "Then I have to try! Is it possible that you are going to die here! Do you know that I will never rescue you if you are like this!"

An Lijiu shook his head lightly and refused: "Yuan Zhongxin, give up."

Yuan Zhongxin was stunned, he heard the determination in An Lijiu's tone to die.

An Lijiu chuckled suddenly, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin with eyes full of relief and gratitude: "After I was arrested a month ago, I never thought I would have the chance to see Su Yi again, but you gave me a chance, Su Yi You are right, I want to thank you—thank you for giving me the chance to settle my mind, thank you for allowing me to live a few more days."

Yuan Zhongxin panicked, and desperately tried to persuade: "Where is Sister Suyi? You don't care about her? Don't you like her? Don't you want to spend the rest of your life with her?"

An Lijiu said with a relieved smile: "I think about it, why don't I think about it, but what can I do, maybe my life with Su Yi will be over as early as those few days in Xiyuan."

I have dedicated myself to the country, and my heart is full of love, and I can only stop here.

Yuan Zhongxin felt that his head was in a dark state, he was breathing rapidly, and it took a long time before he spoke: "An Lijiu, you trust me once, okay, tell me the list, and I will help you save people."

An Lijiu just looked at him with a faint smile, without saying a word.

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll check it myself!" Then he turned around and was about to go out.

An Lijiu stopped him abruptly: "Yuan Zhongxin!"

Yuan Zhongxin stopped, but didn't look back.

An Lijiu stared at his back with helpless eyes, and persuaded him earnestly: "Yuan Zhongxin, I was expelled from the An family and wandered alone until now. I have nothing to worry about except Su Yi. Why are you so stubborn?"

"But among those nine people, they all have families, and there are people waiting for them at home. Do you really want to kill nine of them and put nine families under the knife edge of desperation for me? Are you really going to take such a risk?"

"If those nine people are really exposed, nine homes in this world will be destroyed."

I don't know if it was An Lijiu's illusion, but Yuan Zhongxin's back seemed to be trembling slightly.

An Lijiu knew that he had listened to his own words, and continued: "Yuan Zhongxin, I know this is cruel to you, but this is the truth, you have to make a choice."

In the end, should we save the Jiuyi people in Anli, or keep the nine secret agents who are still fighting for the safety of the country.

"Yuan Zhongxin, give up, I beg you."
