Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Chapter 298 Suspicious Clouds

Han Ling slept soundly at night when she heard a commotion outside, she was so noisy that she couldn't sleep, so she got up and put on her clothes, "It's so late at night, I don't want people to sleep!", pushed open the door, and straightened her sleeping hair With frizzy hair, Xunsheng was taken aback when he left the yard.Looking at a group of guards with knives and guns walking by not far away, why did the Second Brother's house have so many people? "It's not good! It's not good! Miss—" Seeing a group of people leaving, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, Han Ling looked back and saw that it was a servant of the mansion, "Ning Yuan, what's going on? ", who would have thought that this person just ran in front of him and gasped for breath, he hadn't opened his mouth yet to catch his breath.Han Ling was anxious for a while, "What's wrong?", "Master, master—he was taken away by the people of the Ministry of Punishment!".What? !Han Ling was stunned, how could this be possible!Why did the people from the criminal department come to arrest the second brother?Her second brother obviously just took office for a day - his thoughts were in a mess, just now there was another figure on the road, but it was Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white, hurried past with a gloomy expression. "No! I have to find Master Zhuge and the others quickly." Han Ling was still out of the situation, but at least she still had reason.

Ling Hao was escorted all the way back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He just met Wan Jijie during the day, but he didn't expect to meet again in this way at night.Wan Jijie glanced at Ling Hao, and then at the volume of imperial edict, his expression was surprised, complicated, and at the same time he couldn't believe it.Ling Hao didn't know what happened at all. The only thing he knew was that these people arrested him for "murdering the emperor". Calm down, he was untied by the jailer and pressed on the chair, "Master Wan, please tell me what is written in the imperial decree, so that I can understand why I was arrested here.".

"Aren't you clear? Everyone knows what happened in the palace today. The Chixiang pill you presented to the emperor is highly poisonous. The two palace guards who tested the medicine for the emperor died of poison on the spot. The imperial decree made it clear." Chu, who else would want to murder the emperor but you?" Ling Hao was stunned when he heard this, Chixiangwan?Is there something wrong with the Chixiang Wan given by Meng Huo?How could it be... When Liu Xie rewarded them with medicinal wine, he obviously crushed it himself. Everyone they drank was fine, so why did they poison the two palace guards today? "Of course, no evidence has been found for this matter, and anyone involved in this matter must not be let go. The emperor has sent troops to Nanzhong to arrest Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu are also suspected, but what the army said, since Nanzhong Come back, you are responsible for all the tributes submitted, so you are the most suspected. Before you can find reliable evidence to clear your charges, it is better for you to stay in prison temporarily, although I don’t believe you will do this. It’s a matter, but the king’s order is hard to break, so I’ve offended you.” Ling Hao subconsciously wanted to refute, but he stopped abruptly when he was on the verge of speaking, now he was alone, and it was useless to say anything.

"Come here, take it down, and interrogate after the emperor's order comes down tomorrow." Wan Jijie waved his hand, and immediately two guards stepped forward and bound Ling Hao's hands and feet with iron chains.

I have never encountered such an unreasonable thing in my whole life, and the iron door was locked in front of me vigorously. Ling Hao looked around, hehe, it’s so good, it’s the second time I came back to this place, and I even recited a The crime of regicide... dragged the iron chain and sat down on the stone bed. Except for the faint candlelight in the distance, the prison was darker and more humid than before. No matter how Ling Hao thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He obviously didn't move at all, so how could it become poison when he got to Liu Xie?Liu Xie would definitely not be so bored as to make fun of his own life, so it is indeed true that someone died in the palace today due to the Chixiang Pill, so the doubtful point fell on the pill.Could it be Meng Huo... Unlike, Meng Huo has completely surrendered. According to his strategy, if there is anything wrong, Zhuge Liang would have discovered it long ago, and Liu Xie rewarded them with Chixiang Wan in the wine back then There was nothing wrong at the time, so Meng Huo would not make any mistakes.But there will be no problems on my own side. From the beginning to the end, Chixiang Wan has been kept in my place, and has never been given to a third party... Ling Hao clenched his fists, this is not a trivial matter, ancient times are not modern, there are laws that can Protect you, if Liu Xie really wants to kill him, he will be powerless to resist, the emperor will never listen to your law, even killing the wrong person is irrelevant to the other party, Cao Cao killed a thousand people by mistake, There is no guarantee that Liu Xie will not kill [-] people by mistake in order to find out the murderer.

The chance of survival can be described as slim, the brain quickly filtered all the information, Ling Hao frowned, and could only hope that Zhuge Liang and the others were okay... Now that he is in prison, he can only rely on a few of them if he wants to find out about this matter and clear his name up.However, that being said, one of Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang is the commander of Zhengnan, and the other is the leader of the army. How could Meng Huo's tribute not involve himself?It's just that the situation is not as serious as Ling Hao's. After all, Ling Hao is solely responsible for this matter.Liu Xie did not directly express doubts on the surface, but their every move was almost equivalent to being placed under house arrest.How could Lu Bu bear it, especially when he heard that Ling Hao was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, his expression was as gloomy as ink.What does it mean to be eaten by wolves with good intentions? Now is the best example. Without them, how could Liu Xie sit safely until now?Maybe it was already disposed of by Cao Cao.For a while, the whole imperial court was clouded. After all, this kind of thing happened on the second day after the new prime minister took office...

"How is this possible? There must be a mistake somewhere. At the beginning, the emperor personally gave the wine and it was fine. If you say so, it should be a mistake later. Zixuan has always been concerned about the Han Dynasty, and the emperor also saw it. . " Ma Chao went to see Liu Xie as soon as he heard that Ling Hao had been arrested.However, Liu Xie was noncommittal, "This is not a trivial matter. I naturally know what Ling Hao has done for the Han Dynasty along the way, but this does not completely prove that he is impossible."Zhao Yun, who has been suppressed since last night, couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied when he heard Liu Xie's words. Now the only ones who can go in and out of the court normally are him, Ma Chao and Sun Ce. All the main figures related to Nanman have been banned by Liu Xie. , Including Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu, these two people, one controls the soldiers and horses of the military field, and the other weighs the government affairs of the whole country. Liu Xie put these two people under house arrest in disguise. What is the meaning behind it?Is it because they have too much power in their hands and will repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao?Sun Ce snorted coldly, pointing at Liu Xie's point, even if they helped him regain power, the Han Dynasty would not last long. "Don't talk about it, he won't let Zixuan go without evidence, ask something real." Sun Ce stopped the two of them, and then looked at Liu Xie on the stage again, this time his face was cold, "How dare you?" Ask the emperor if I can go to the Ministry of Punishments to meet Ling Hao, so I can know what's going on there."Everyone has been arrested, and Liu Xie can no longer prohibit them from seeing each other. Zhao Yun's brows and eyes are full of forbearance. If Ling Hao is wronged and punished because of this incident, he will immediately give the imperial forest to him. Liu Xie threw it back, he could go to whomever he likes, since he can't trust them, he might as well be comfortable under Liu Bei's command.

It was even more difficult for Ling Hao. After being interrogated by the criminals for a whole day, how could he admit that there was nothing at all?Seeing that he hadn't heard from anyone for a whole day, Ling Hao always felt empty in his heart.It was not until the evening that new news came, but this news was not about a few people, but only made his situation worse-"Return to your lord! A pill that is exactly the same as the tribute was found in Ling Hao's mansion.", the jailer Present a few packets of things wrapped in oiled paper.Ling Hao watched Wan Jijie open it, and the dazzling red pills... "What else do you have to say?" Wan Jijie looked at Ling Hao with a heartbroken expression. "I've never seen this thing before. Someone must be trying to frame it!" Ling Hao couldn't believe it, he shook his head again and again, his face was a little pale, and he couldn't resist getting up and was about to step forward. The iron chain "crashed—" , the guards on both sides held Ling Hao. "The poison has already been found in your house, and you still have to quibble? Someone! Use torture!".Previously, it was because there was no evidence, coupled with Ling Hao’s identity, the Ministry of Punishment had to pay three points no matter what. Unfortunately, once the evidence was found, even if the person in front of them was not Ling Hao but Liu Bei, they had to act according to the law.

Being forcibly pressed against the board, the instinct of the body was almost about to make a move, but it stopped in the end.Ling Hao gritted his teeth, no, he can't resist now, he must figure out the cause and effect of this matter, otherwise there will be hidden dangers in the Han Dynasty after all, and secondly, he can't bear this tone.

When Ma Chao and the others went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ling Hao had already been taken back to the prison. Even with the identity of Hussar General, they could not stay for a moment. Ling Hao is now charged with the crime of regicide, and the poison was found According to Liu Xie, how could a person like Liu Xie who can't tolerate a trace of betrayal keep Ling Hao...

"A few adults, please make a long story short." The jailer waited for several people in the stone room and retreated to the side.

"Zixuan—" Zhao Yun saw the man with iron chains on his hands and feet inside the iron gate, and he didn't care about the jailer beside him, and his words were full of worry. "It's good that you... are fine." Ling Hao heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face. "How are you? Did they torture you?" Sun Ce looked Ling Hao up and down over and over again, "No... don't worry." It was just a hundred blows with the stick, which is considered light Yes, if you keep silent in the next few days, then it will be really difficult.Looking at Ling Hao, Ma Chao felt a bit of bitterness. All the emperors of the Han Dynasty should go to hell. He almost had an impulse to rescue Ling Hao and fly away. Let the Han Dynasty be turned upside down. Why did this happen in the end after so much? Didn't Ling Hao do enough for the Han Dynasty? "It's just sitting in jail. Why do you all have such expressions? I'm still waiting for you to reverse the case for me." Ling Hao pretended to be relaxed. "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter." Sun Cefeng's eyes were full of sternness. If he was asked to find out the perpetrator, he would absolutely smash that person to pieces!

"How are Fengxian and Master?" Ling Hao pulled off the iron chain and was about to step forward when his back felt a constant dull pain, and the stiffness on his face disappeared in an instant. "I have been removed from my post temporarily, and now I don't have permission, so I can't leave the house." Zhao Yun said seriously.Ling Hao was silent, and Zhuge Liang would be involved... How could his aloof and lofty temperament endure such treatment, and Lu Bu. "They are already on their way to capture Meng Huo. During this period, there is still time. Zixuan, if they dare to torture you, I will be the first to spare him." Ling Hao just smiled wryly. Yuji, he is now in the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, "After this matter is over, we will never ask again—" "Meng Qi." Ling Hao interrupted Ma Chao, "There are still jailers here. I know what you mean, I'm fine, you just need to check it out." With a comforting smile, Ling Hao glanced at the jailer beside him, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you should go back quickly, so as not to get involved again later. You, if even you are under suspicion, no one will be able to reverse the case for me."

After finally holding on until several people were sent away, Ling Hao was finally able to change his posture, and the place on his back where he had been tortured by the stick was burning with pain. "I didn't expect that the deputy prime minister has such a good relationship with these people." A wooden tray was passed through the gap between the iron gates, with sake and food on it, Ling Hao raised his head, "Aren't you tired of guarding me every day?" .It was the same jailer. I heard Wan Jijie mention it before. He was a small boss with an ordinary face and an ordinary name. "It's been a long time since anyone came to this prison, and you are the first one in these few years." Ling Hao just smiled, "I didn't expect that the first one would be me...Why did you choose to be a jailer here?" .Zhou Mian watched Ling Hao pick up the bowl of sake, "This has to start from a long time ago, anyway, let's eat together." "I just want to survive this troubled world in peace, who knows it's so difficult." Ling Hao shook his head and drank the wine.Zhou Mian stared at Ling Hao for a while, and frowned for some reason, "Then I won't stay any longer, and the deputy prime minister will take good care of his wounds."

He was left alone in the stone room again, Ling Hao lost his appetite looking at the food, what would he do before he could go out from here.

Leaving Zhao Yun and the others aside, they are pretty good after all, and they can still move freely, while Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang are not allowed to leave their homes at all. In fact, to be honest, Liu Xie's move not only made Ling Hao feel cold, but also cut off the relationship between Han and Han. It is because of Ling Hao's presence that they are willing to settle down under the imperial court, but this time the matter is not aimed at Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, or anyone else, it just acts as a glue No matter how worried Liu Xiezong was about the soldiers and horses in the hands of Ling Hao, Liu Xiezong's attack on Ling Hao could only be said to be a failure.

Lu Bu had had enough, and when he stepped out of the mansion gate, there was a row of guards holding halberds, "Get out of here!" His eagle eyes flickered, murderous intent overflowed, and the guards guarding the gate couldn't help but tremble, but the king's order is hard to disobey . "Please go back, Marquis Wen, the emperor ordered us to stay here...we are only following orders." Before the words fell, Lu Bu grabbed the collar of the guard who was speaking, "Listen to me, I don't care what he says. Order, if you don’t move out today, you will end up dead.”, “But I have failed—” The guard suddenly fell silent, because he had already pressed a gold dagger on his neck, and he didn’t want to let Lu Bu go. Death, failure of responsibility is also death, but one dies early and the other dies late... The body is not in control, and the guards can only watch Lu Bu walk away.

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Sun Ce didn't know anything about Ling Hao's torture, let alone Lu Bu. He didn't think about anything at this time. Did Emperor Han Xian think that he treasured the title of the so-called general?If Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty really wants to do any harm to Ling Hao, then he will be responsible for the crime of killing the king this time.Everyone knew that Lu Bu was grounded, so when this person appeared in front of them, everyone was stunned, "Where is Zixuan?", the eagle eyes scanned around, and finally landed on Wan Jijie.Lu Bu stepped forward and directly touched the other party's neck with the dagger, "Since I have taken full responsibility for Ling Hao's matter, I wonder why Marquis Wen broke into my punishment department today?".Lu Bu frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you where he is now!", the dagger had already carved a bloodstain on his neck, "Ling Hao's crimes are enough to implicate the nine clans, why does Marquis Wen put himself in it again?".It can only be said that Wan Jijie didn't seem to understand the words. For a moment, Lu Bu really wanted to kill him, implicating the whole family?Hehe, the hero and the traitor experienced it all in one day.

Wan Jijie didn't know what Lu Bu said was true until he felt that the blade had sunk into his skin, and it was the most unwise choice to reason with this person, "You go and lead the way for Marquis Wen." He pointed to a person to lead the way, Only then did Lu Bu remove the dangerous dagger from his neck. "My lord, do we need to inform the emperor about this matter?" Wan Jijie shook his head when he stepped forward, watched Lu Bu leave, and then said: "He has already dismissed the court law, and now you have annoyed him, and you are the only one who suffers." I, Lu Bu, let him go if I want to see Ling Hao. Ling Hao has just been tortured, so he can't escape."

As the jailer came to the execution room, he realized that Ling Hao was locked in the place where he saved him last time.Hearing his footsteps, Ling Hao raised his head slightly, and seeing Lu Bu's expression froze, "Zixuan." Lu Bu called softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people leaning against the wall at this time, "They treat you What did you do..." Seeing an obvious bloodstain on Ling Hao's clothes, Lu Bu's eyes instantly froze. "Open the cell door for me!" This sentence was said to the jailer on the side.Zhou Mian was in charge of taking care of Ling Hao, but seeing Lu Bu like this, he didn't disobey him. He stepped forward to unlock the lock and then silently retreated to the side.

"I'm in prison, and I'm accused of regicide, it's kind of me not to be executed now, why are you here..." Ling Hao smiled wryly, he should have thought that those people sent by the imperial court were not worth anything in the eyes of this person Just to mention, it's just that Lu Bu seeing him now will only implicate himself with the crime, "You shouldn't have come.".Lu Bu's whole body is in a dangerous emotional stage, and there are more than one traces of torture on Ling Hao's body. Can you bear to hurt the people who have been protecting you with all your heart?Obviously not, he himself was reluctant to move, but now he has received so many punishments in vain under his own eyes for an unwarranted crime. "That useless emperor—" can almost be said word for word, if this sentence is heard, it is also a crime of beheading. "You have done so much for him, but in the end he wants to get rid of you, Zixuan, I will take you away now, and we will have nothing to do with the Han Dynasty from now on." The crime? It’s not something I did. I must find the real criminal. You underestimate me. It’s just a skin trauma. You can take care of it.” Ling Hao raised his hand and touched Lu Bu’s face, “I I don’t want to leave with a crime on my back, but I have to investigate this matter thoroughly if I want to leave, you have to trust me.”

The rebuttal that came to his lips was suppressed by Ling Hao's soothing eyes, Lu Bu held Ling Hao's hand, "Why don't I believe you, I just can't see them treating you like this.", "Yes, holding it in my hand is afraid I’m afraid it will melt in my mouth.” Ling Hao had no choice but to say, “I have Linglong Pill, and Bofu and the others are doing their best to check it out. It’s going to be fine. You should go back early. I don’t want anything to happen to you either. ?”.Obviously in such an environment, how could Ling Hao comfort him with such a smile, "Why, you don't even listen to my master?" Ling Hao gently squeezed the other party's face, "Be obedient, go back. ".

The man who was still fierce and murderous just now, that Lu Bu who even the emperor is cautious three points, turned out to be like this in front of Ling Hao, Zhou Mian would be lying if he said he was not surprised, master?Ling Hao is Lu Bu's master?How is this possible—seeing that Lu Bu didn't speak, he stretched out his arms to hug Ling Hao for a long time before letting go, "If Emperor Han Xian really wants to execute you indiscriminately, I hope you don't blame me, because I have to take you away." , "Okay." Ling Hao knew that Lu Bu was still willing to compromise temporarily for him after all, "Remember to tell the master that I'm fine when you go back.".

Zhou Mian watched Lu Bu get up and leave with great difficulty, while Ling Hao leaned back against the wall again, "I know that the deputy prime minister and Marquis Wen have a good relationship, but I didn't expect it to be so good, they are just like lovers." Ling Hao turned his head when he heard the words, Staring at Zhou Mian outside the iron gate for a while, he suddenly smiled, "Like?" Seeing Zhou Mian nodding, Ling Hao didn't speak. He and Lu Bu had this kind of relationship in the first place.Seeing that Ling Hao didn't say much, Zhou Mian didn't continue to ask. He took the wine from the table and put it in front of the iron gate. "Tomorrow will be more difficult. It's better for the deputy prime minister to conserve his energy." Ling Hao looked at the wine, " Why do you change the wine for me every day, so you are not afraid that Wan Jijie will withdraw you if you are so good to a criminal?".Zhou Mian seemed to have heard something interesting, "You also said, since you are a criminal, why not enjoy more blessings before you die?", "Hehe, indeed.".

I don’t know why, but the court has not issued the final execution for a long time. In addition, Ling Hao has always refused to admit it. Wanting to do other things at hand, unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance on the way, a person who was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar with.

The gray-clothed man looked blank, looked at Zhou Mian and opened his mouth, "How is he now?", "What's going on, you should be able to figure it out. It's all because of you that he got to where he is today." The gray-clothed man paused After a long time, the exact ups and downs of emotions could not be heard in the voice, "Before I kill him...I want to see him for the last time." "It's up to you." Zhou Mian twitched the corner of his mouth, "Don't get involved in trouble That's fine, your mood is capricious, I have to follow along."Containing all his emotions in an instant, the man in gray nodded, "It's already reached this point, you don't have to doubt it, I can't turn back.".
