People always think I'm a broken sleeve

After 'forcibly' leaving Bizhu in the Xuanfu, Xuanyue left, boarded the official sedan chair, and headed for the Taiqing Courtyard.

Naturally, keeping Bizhu in the Xuanfu, Xuanyue had another purpose.

After receiving the person at the Taiqing Court later, if the person finds an excuse to shirk and refuses to go to the Xuanfu, then Xuanyue will tell Su Bian that his personal maid is in his residence.

The personal maids are all in his mansion, even if they want to take the maids back, they have to go to Xuanfu.

If it wasn't for this purpose, how could Xuan Yue specially leave a maid in Xuanfu.

Thinking of Su Bian hearing the personal servant girl in his Xuan Mansion later, Xuan Yue sitting in the sedan chair couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh.

The Xuanfu is a little far away from the Taiqing Court.

Along the way in the sedan chair, Xuan Yue thought about how Su Bian would react when he saw him appearing in the Taiqing Court later.

Excited?Surprised?Hesitant to talk?

Or... still no response?

If he went to the Taiqing Courtyard later, and he told him that he did not come to the Taiqing Courtyard to save him from fire and water, but just to see his miserable appearance, what would his reaction be?

Thinking of Su Bian's expressionless face, Xuan Yue licked his lips and couldn't help feeling slightly excited.

but……

On the side of the Taiqing Court, there will be no punishment.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yue's face turned cold.

Taiqing Academy.

At this time, Qiu Qingxi was being interrogated in the punishment room.

Qiu Qingxi said: "Master Zhuang, if you have something to say, it's better to say it directly, if you wait until the Taiwei Lord comes to interrogate in person, you won't be as gentle as this officer."

Su Bian: "..."

However, Su Bian didn't know what Ji Yixiao wanted to know.

I don't know, so I can't answer.

Seeing that Su Bian was still indifferent and didn't intend to speak at all, Qiu Qingxi's eyelids twitched.

But he holds back.

Ji Yixiao did not disclose the exact charges, nor did he mention the use of punishment. In addition, Su Bian is still the magistrate of Qipin County, so even if Qiu Qingxi wanted to use punishment again, he could not.

Su Bian was sentenced to death.

Even if Su Bian didn't answer, Qiu Qingxi couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to endure it.

Without evidence, there is no reason for punishment.

However, as Qiu Qingxi, as the young minister of the Taiqing Academy, if he really wanted to use punishment, no one could stop him.

Except for Chang Huai, who is currently serving as one of the nine officials.

But Qiu Qingxi has always used the name of being fair and upright, and the abuse of lynching will never happen to Qiu Qingxi.

So... just like that, the room was full of torture instruments, but none of them were used.

Qiu Qingxi persevered, and asked again: "What happened last night, and what did you say to the emperor, I hope Mr. Zhuang will tell the truth one by one."

Su Bian, who had been interrogated like this for the tenth time, had lost all patience.

Su Bian was not happy, and in a nutshell: "Go to Xunfang Pavilion to find a beauty, and go to Xuanfu to have dinner."

Hearing the word Xuanfu, Qiu Qingxi's expression changed all of a sudden.

Qiu Qingxi asked sharply, "Why did Lord Zhuang go to Xuanfu with the emperor?"

Su Bian's answer was still short and impatient, "Get lost."

Qiu Qingxi didn't believe it: "Master Zhuang is clearly with the emperor, and the emperor knows the way of the capital, why did he get lost again, and he got lost to the Xuanfu? Or even that

Mr. Guowei, who never let anyone eat in the mansion at all, would let you, a mere seventh-rank county magistrate, eat in the mansion? "

Qiu Qingxi was aggressive, and a series of questions popped up one after another.

Su Bian finally lost his patience completely.

Su Bian: "I don't know."

In fact, this sentence Su Bian is not perfunctory, it is indeed the truth.

How could he know that the Guowei Xuanyue, who seemed abnormal, and indeed seemed abnormal, would keep him in the mansion for dinner.

Su Bian wanted to understand more than Qiu Qingxi.

Seeing that Su Bian didn't cooperate at all, Qiu Qingxi couldn't help it no matter how good-tempered he was.

If it weren't for Qiu Qingxi's never abusing lynching, and even more dislike of abusing lynching, I'm afraid he couldn't help but attack Su Bian long ago.

Thinking of Xuanyue, and his parents who died tragically under Xuanyue's horse's hooves, Qiu Qingxi couldn't help gritting his teeth in resentment.

Qiu Qingxi stared at Su Bian, who was expressionless in front of him, whose hands and feet were bound by chains, but still kept calm, and the sense of disgust in his heart suddenly became stronger.

Sure enough, from the first sight, he didn't like the person in front of him very much.

After the interrogation, he disliked the magistrate of Ningxiang even more.

After interrogation for a long time, the other party refused to say a word, and Qiu Qingxi was too lazy to spend any more time with Su Bian.

Just as Qiu Qingxi turned to leave, Chang Huai's voice suddenly came from the gate of the execution room.

Chang Huai said: "Why is Mr. Qiu not being sentenced? Some prisoners need to be tortured and interrogated before they are willing to speak. Mr. Qiu has been a young minister for so many years, so he should be clearer than this officer."

Chang Huai's voice sounded suddenly, Qiu Qingxi turned around following the sound, and looked in Chang Huai's direction.

Chang Huai walked into the execution room slowly with a cold face.

Qiu Qingxi didn't answer, but asked back with a cold face: "How come the admiral has time to come here?"

Chang Huai replied without changing his face: "I heard that the Taiqing Court locked up a new prisoner last night. He is the one who is going to be interrogated by the Taiwei, so I came here specially to have a look."

After a while, Chang Huai received a message from Xuan Yue.

Xuanyue asked him to wait in the Taiqing Courtyard, and then came to the Taiqing Courtyard later to ask for someone.

After receiving the message, Chang Huai went to the Taiqing Court, and then found the execution room, wanting to see who it was that made Xuan Yue condescend to personally come to the Taiqing Court to ask for someone.

When he came to the punishment room, Chang Huai finally saw the true face of the person Xuan Yue was talking about.

Chang Huai looked at Su Bian, and the next second, he frowned in disgust.

Chang Huai looked down on and hated many people, like the Huo family and his son.

But like Su Bian, who just glanced at it and hated it for no reason, it was still the first one.

I say it's annoying, but more specifically, it's a sense of crisis and hostility.

Because Chang Huai had been by Xuan Yue's side for so many years, no matter how much he went up and down for Xuan Yue, Chang Huai couldn't make Xuan Yue look him in the eye.Even condescending,

Do it yourself.

Chang Huai felt disgusted with Su Bian, he stepped forward and said without thinking, "Since Mr. Qiu can't interrogate him, then I will interrogate him instead."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the instrument of torture that was placed on the side, and prepared to attack Su Bian.

Su Bian looked down at the thick leather whip in Chang Huai's hand, then raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Huai.

Su Bian observed carefully, and with just one glance, he could see the... hostility in the opponent's eyes.

……hostility?Su Bian had a delicate expression.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that this was the first time he had met this so-called admiral.

Su Bian still had no expression on his face, but Qiu Qingxi, who was standing beside him, instantly sank his face.

Although he didn't like Su Bian, he didn't like Chang Huai even more than Su Bian.

Chang Huai is a member of Guowei Xuanyue, everyone knows it.

Qiu Qingxi would no longer have any good feelings for anyone who was Xuanyue.

Without further ado, Qiu Qingxi raised his hand to stop Chang Huai, and said, "Master Taiwei entrusted this person to me, not Lord Admiral. You don't have to worry about Lord Admiral, this person will step down from office."

I will figure it out. "

Chang Huai looked at Qiu Qingxi, standing still, "Master Qiu is overwhelmed, I just want to share the worries of Master Qiu. Later, when Lord Taiwei comes, if Master Qiu has nothing to say

After trial, how can I explain to Lord Taiwei at that time. "

Qiu Qingxi replied: "This matter will be explained to Lord Taiwei."

Chang Huai saw that Qiu Qingxi had been blocking him and refused to back down, so he changed his tone, "Master Qiu is protecting this prisoner so much... Could it be that... this prisoner is actually Master Qiu's?"

Chang Huai poured dirty water on Qiu Qingxi's body, and the guards waiting at the side were terrified, but Qiu Qingxi still didn't respond.

Qiu Qingxi saw that Chang Huai wanted to punish a prisoner so much for the first time, so it was even more impossible for him to back off.

Qiu Qingxi said coldly: "Master Taiwei just wanted to ask him something, he is not considered a prisoner. Since he is not considered a prisoner, our Taiqing Academy can only follow the orders of Mr. Taiwei

Except for interrogation, no punishment shall be imposed on him. "

Chang Huai's eyes narrowed slightly.

When the two were in a stalemate, Si Zhi Zhou Zi suddenly walked into the execution room, stood beside the two and said quietly: "Master Admiral, Mr Shaoqing, Mr Guowei is visiting."

The expressions of the two changed, and then subconsciously looked at Su Bian at the side.

There is no other possibility for Xuan Yue to come to the Taiqing Court suddenly and unexpectedly, except for Su Bian.

Su Bian, who was locked on one side, heard that Xuan Yue was coming, and for some reason, his back began to feel chilly.

The two looked in Su Bian's direction together, wanting to see how Su Bian would react.

The two thought that if Xuan Yue came, the latter would be very happy and excited.

However, Su Bian's complexion didn't improve much, but turned darker.

The expressions of Qiu Qingxi and Chang Huai suddenly became strange.

But the former is because he thought Su Bian was from Xuanyue.

The latter thought that Su Bian...was proud of being favored.

Qiu Qingxi and Chang Huai looked at Su Bian in silence for a few seconds, then turned and left the torture room.

The two came to the main hall of the Taiqing Courtyard, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Xuan Yue sitting in the hall sipping tea carelessly.

Xuan Yue held the blue and white porcelain cup in one hand, with a lazy and indifferent expression, as if he had been waiting for a while.

Qiu Qingxi looked at Xuan Yue, clenched his fingers, and tried hard to contain the hatred in his eyes.

Chang Huai who was at the side saw Xuan Yue, and immediately walked up to him as if he would never see anyone else again.

Chang Huai said respectfully: "Master Guowei."

Xuan Yue responded lightly, and then asked, "Where is the person?"

The expression on Chang Huai's face froze, his voice paused slightly, and then he replied: "In the execution room."

After hearing this, Xuan Yue stood up without hesitation, "Take me to the execution room."

Chang Huai was silent for two seconds, and replied: "...Yes."

Qiu Qingxi, who didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, looked at the two of them as if they didn't see him at all, and walked past him directly. He clenched his fingers tightly and bit his lips with blood.

——Sooner or later, he will let Xuan Yue pay for his blood!

Xuan Yue and Chang Huai came to the torture room together. After entering the torture room, Xuan Yue looked at Su Bian who was shackled in the torture room, and couldn't help but smile.

Xuan Yue chuckled lightly, "Master Zhuang's outfit is quite novel."

Su Bian remained silent.

Chang Huai, who was standing beside Xuanyue, said, "Master Guowei, it is now..."

Xuan Yue asked, "The whole morning interrogation, what did you find out?"

Chang Huai was stunned for a moment, and although he didn't understand, he still quietly replied: "Never. This person's teeth are too tight, and he hasn't pried out a single word. That's why the officials are planning to torture..."

Chang Huai's words of torture were just finished, and Xuan Yue, who was at the side, turned cold in an instant, and asked back: "Who told you to use torture?"

Chang Huai looked at Xuan Yue and was stunned.

After being stunned for two seconds, Chang Huai explained: "Because he refused to say a word, that's why the lower officials came up with this trick..."

Xuan Yue sneered, and said with a sneer: "Master Chang has been in the position of Jiuqing for almost a year, but this is the first time I have seen Master Chang be so enthusiastic about the affairs of the Taiqing Academy. Moreover, I heard that Mr.

Yi Xiao handed over Zhuang Duxin to Qiu Qingxi for trial, why did Mr. Chang intervene? "

Chang Huai's heart tightened, and he tried to explain calmly: "The lower official is currently serving as one of the Jiuqing for the time being. It is common sense for the lower official to share the affairs of the Taiqing Academy."

Xuan Yue asked coolly: "Oh? Is it really not because of selfishness?"

Chang Huai remained silent.

Xuan Yue glanced at Chang Huai with disgust.

In the past, I thought Chang Huai looked a little pleasing to the eye, but looking at it now, it seems to be nothing more than that.

After thinking about it, Xuan Yue turned his gaze back to Su Bian who was at the side.

Sure enough, it was Mr. Zhuang who looked the most 'pleasing to the eye'.

The latter noticed Xuan Yue's gaze and felt a chill down his spine again.

Xuan Yue asked: "Master Zhuang, do you want to go out from here?"

Su Bian looked at Xuan Yue, without thinking, "No."

Compared with Xuanfu, Su Bian would rather stay in the cell.

Xuan Yue: "..."

Xuan Yue was silent for two seconds, instead of being angry, he smiled.

Xuan Yue asked abruptly: "I have been interrogated all morning, but it is true that nothing has been found out?"

Chang Huai replied: "Yes."

Xuan Yue bent his eyes and chuckled, "Then this official is here to interrogate you in the Taiqing Court."

Su Bian's eyes twitched.

Xuan Yue walked slowly towards Su Bian.

Xuan Yue took a step, but Su Bian couldn't help taking a step back.

Then, like this, retreat step by step, until Su Bian retreated nowhere, Su Bian looked at Xuan Yue who was approaching him step by step in horror, and changed his words: "I will."

Although I don't know what to say, I still have to spit out a few sentences.

Su Bian changed his words, but Xuan Yue continued to approach Su Bian as if he didn't hear him at all.

It wasn't until Su Bian shrank to the corner that his footsteps stopped.

Xuan Yue said casually: "Master Zhuang, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

I really don't eat it now.

In the future... I don't know.

And, how to eat...

Su Bian was terrified.
