Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Chapter 299 The situation is out of control

Knowing that if Ling Hao stays in prison for one more day, he will suffer one more day, and that Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang are not free to move about. Although Zhao Yun began to reject Han Xiandi from the bottom of his heart, but now he has to continue to work as a guard in the palace. Ma Chao Don't ask more about court affairs, he and Sun Ce have the same nature, and they have their own soldiers and horses in their hands.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty acted in this way, indiscriminately, and hastily insisted that Ling Hao had nothing to do with this matter, which made several people angry.

There are only two possible loopholes, one is Meng Huo, and the other is the court, unless Meng Huo gave poison at the beginning, but this possibility was rejected when Ma Chao went to find Zhuge Liang himself.From Meng Huo presenting the Chixiang Wan to handing it over to Ling Hao, Zhuge Liang took the safest measures from the beginning to the end. After all, this is something for the emperor, and no one can afford it if something goes wrong. People used various methods to ensure the harmlessness of Chixiang Wan.Since the mistake was not on Meng Huo, the second point is that some people in the court wanted to harm Ling Hao. However, the suspicious candidates basically couldn't tell a thing or two. We have known each other for so long, and we can know who is good when we deal with each other. Who is evil, even Zhuge Liang is not sure who is the most suspicious.Things got stuck in a bottleneck all of a sudden, Ling Hao was in danger, and when the emperor brought Meng Huo back and found out that Meng Huo was innocent, at that time, all the charges would have to be borne by Ling Hao... How could they just sit and watch? If this kind of thing happens, if it is really impossible to break through in a short period of time, the only way is to rob the prison and leave the court with Ling Hao.

"If the real culprit can't be found, I plan to take Zixuan away from the court completely, what do you think?" Zhuge Liangfeng had a gloomy look in his eyes, "It's natural, but it's just a pity for the murderer behind it." "If his goal is the emperor, if he fails once, there will be a second time. If it's just Zixuan, it's safer to take him away earlier." Zhuge nodded, "But how are you going to rescue Zixuan, the prison in the palace, Far more formidable than imagined." "Don't worry about this. Lu Bu knows the secret passage in the prison. No one knows about this secret passage except him and the first emperor. Therefore, it is easy to save people from the secret passage. Zhao Yun and Sun Ce are still investigating, so be prepared. Once The case won’t be solved in a short time, so we’ll leave the capital immediately.” Ma Chao looked at Zhuge Liang, the only thing that he felt worthless for Zhuge Liang, if it hadn’t been for this kind of thing, if Ling Hao had to choose by himself, he would definitely Will choose to find out the murderer, at least return Zhuge Liang's innocence.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hadn't issued a final decision on disposition, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice waited for five days in a row, but no matter how tortured and interrogated, no useful information could be pried out from Ling Hao's mouth, and the matter remained deadlocked.There are several people who have seen Ling Hao, and each of them is someone they can't afford to provoke or hide. In the end, Sun Ce didn't even mind being accused of conspiracy. I'm afraid that everyone in the criminal department will have a hard time in the future.Wan Jijie really couldn't imagine why these people who obviously had nothing to do with this matter would be so eager to reverse the case for Ling Hao, as if they were themselves imprisoned.

On the contrary, Ling Hao has been quiet all the time. At the beginning, he could explain, but now he doesn't even say a word. Come on, it's like hitting cotton with a fist, without any strength at all. "Although he is the deputy prime minister, don't forget that he has always been a military commander before. Cao Cao would frown when he heard this name. His lord is too soft-hearted just for these flesh and blood pains." Wan Jijie heard the words Frowning, he looked at Zhou Mian who came to collect the files, "I never show mercy to prisoners, but Ling Hao's situation is special, the evidence is so convincing, yet the emperor has not made a decision, Ling Hao... his behavior is not like He is a very evil person." Zhou Mian chuckled, "Some people can only say that they are good at pretending. He can suddenly enter the court, build a good relationship with the two major forces of Lu and Ma in a short period of time, and easily persuade Liu Bei and Sun Ce returned to the Han, adults think, can such a person be considered simple? It is not certain that everything is that he planned to completely overthrow the big Han—","What are you talking about!" Wan Jijie said Zhou Mian was not angry when he interrupted, "I just want to talk about my feelings. Since the adults are busy, the little ones should not bother the adults.".

After leaving the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhou Mian stuffed the obtained file into his bosom, picked up another jug ​​of wine, showed the token to the guards, and walked back into the prison again.At the beginning, the prison cells could still see the light, and when you go to the depths, you will be the place where the repeat offenders are detained. For the crime of regicide like Ling Hao, it is naturally the most solid iron prison. The sun is shining brightly outside, but indoors can only be used A candle for lighting.

"Deputy Prime Minister." Putting the drink in the old place, Zhou Mian yelled, this man hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, so if he said he didn't have an appetite, let him just bring some drinks over in the future, but he didn't know it was exactly what he wanted . "It's troublesome." The man inside the iron gate spit out three words, and he didn't look this way. I don't know if it was because he was bored in the prison and couldn't see the sun or something. Ling Hao's face was a little pale, and what he said was true. Locked up for five days without seeing the light of day, and having to endure the extortion of confessions by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, no one can bear it. "If you don't eat food, you have to drink water. This wine was taken directly from the wine shop outside the city by someone. The shopkeeper said it had been buried for decades. Wouldn't the deputy prime minister taste it?" Zhou Mian knelt down and took the wine He pushed towards Ling Hao again.

"What's the difference? It's all wine." Ling Hao shook his head. He doesn't want to move now, and he doesn't want to move at all. He feels weak all over his body when he moves. Linglong Dan's recovery speed is left there, and he can basically recover in one night. The punishment during the day is not yet night, the best way is to stay quietly to save energy. "Of course it's different. This is a wine that can make people drunk. The deputy prime minister will know if you try it. I can guarantee that you have never tasted such a mellow wine before." Zhou Mian looked nostalgic, and Ling Hao felt funny when he saw this , "You are quite an interesting person, it's a pity to stay in this prison all day.".However, this time Zhou Mian did not speak for a long time until Ling Hao got up and sat down in front of the prison door again. Zhou Mian then said, "I will be able to leave this prison in a short time. At that time, I hope that the deputy prime minister You can also get out soon."Feeling that there was something in the words, Ling Hao stared at Zhou Mian for a while, then looked away for a while, "Yes, thank you.".He picked up the jug, opened the seal, and tasted a mellow aroma. It is indeed a good old wine. I am afraid he is the only one who can be so leisurely while carrying the death penalty... If he can get out smoothly, this is a matter of the court. I'm afraid I don't have the heart to go into the muddy water anymore. The saying "The higher you stand, the more painful you fall" is really good. Thinking about it this way, it's actually better to be like Han Zimo, a businessman who doesn't know what Han Ling is like. What's the matter with the girl, knowing that her affairs are not guaranteed, she wants to cry again.

It has been five days, how could Han Ling not be worried, she has the same blood on her body as Ling Hao, the blood is thicker than water, although she is an outsider, but to Ling Hao, Han Ling really treats her as a family member, now that Ling Hao is gone Life and death are uncertain, even Zhuge Liang has nothing to do... She wants to see Ling Hao. With her status, let alone a prison, even the mansion is not allowed to leave now. Not only are people in the mansion not allowed to go out, but people outside the mansion No one is allowed to come in, alone, guarding an empty house... I don't know if it's a psychological effect or a lack of security. It's okay during the day, but I can't sleep at night. I always heard strange things in Ling Hao's residence a few days ago. However, there was nothing to let people go. For several days, the original inside became outside. From time to time, there seemed to be faint footsteps outside the wall, which disappeared when I wanted to search carefully. not see.When Ling Hao was around on weekdays, how could Han Ling think so much, now that she was left alone, it was inevitable that she felt frightened.

Meng Huo was already on his way to the capital. On the sixth day, there was still no news from both sides. The court was waiting for Meng Huo, while the Ministry of Punishment was waiting for the court.Zhou Mian was sitting in the wine shop at this time, picked up the bought wine, shook it, and then looked at the man sitting opposite him, "How about it, are you ready? There will be no chance when Meng Huo arrives in the capital."The man was still dressed in gray long clothes, and he paused for a long time, "Don't tell me you are still hesitating, have you forgotten what Ling Hao did?". "I haven't forgotten, you don't need to remind me all the time." The rather indifferent sentence coupled with the man's gloomy expression looked extremely terrifying.Zhou Mian finally stopped shaking the wine, "That's good, today is the last one, it's fine if the previous one didn't work, if it weren't for the special circumstances, you can actually torture him slowly, this time let him die in this way. It's cheap for him."The man in gray took a sip of the wine, watched the person at the opposite table pour a pack of powder into the flagon, and suppressed all emotions in his eyes, "You'd better go back earlier, so as not to attract suspicion.". "No hurry, it's the last moment, at least we have to make all the preparations before going back." Zhou Mian smiled, rolled up the white paper wrapped in powder and threw it aside.

It wasn't until Zhou Mian finished drinking the wine slowly and put away the flagon in his hand that Zhou Mian paid the money, "I'll go back first.".The man in gray just nodded. Seeing Zhou Mian walk out of the restaurant, he bowed his head and meditated for a while, and finally asked Xiaoer for a pen and paper, wrote a few words on the paper, folded the paper and put it on Xiaoer's back . "Send a copy of this letter to the Mansion of Marquis Wen and the Mansion of Hussar General. It is said that the relationship is very important, and the reward is easy to say." The man in gray took out a jade pendant and put it on the second-hand man, "The matter is done. , this jade pendant will reward you." "Come on, don't worry, guest officer!" Xiaoer's expression brightened, and he immediately agreed.Seeing that Xiao Er went down, the man in gray didn't want to drink, so he got up and left in a hurry.

How did Ling Hao know what was going on outside? The Ministry of Criminal Justice was extremely calm today. He was not escorted out for questioning, and there were no guards coming and going to patrol him in front of the door. Where did it go.Sun Ce only came to see him in the morning, and after talking with him for a while, he let him go back. A king of Wu, who always meets his current self will somewhat make the people above suspect that Ling Hao is avoiding Han Xiandi now. , I'm afraid that something is wrong, and even Sun Ce will have to be dragged into trouble.It was not until the evening that Zhou Mian came back, still carrying a jug of wine, but this time he seemed in a much better mood.

"Why are there so many jailers missing today? Wan Jijie is not afraid that the prisoners will run away like this." It's a difficult thing." Zhou Mian put down his drink, "This is medicinal wine, and the punishment won't be too painful after drinking it at night.".Ling Hao looked at the jug on the ground, and felt a sense of disharmony in his heart. After a few days, if Zhou Mian wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago, why bother to provide him with good wine and food all day long..."Really... I thought it would stop for a while today." Ling Hao smiled wryly.Zhou Mian raised his eyebrows, "I have suffered a lot in the past few days. The deputy prime minister is not in good health. After so many days, he can still look like a normal person."Ling Hao didn't reply, it's useless to talk to Zhou Mian about Linglong Dan.After opening the wine cap, there was a bitter taste, Ling Hao frowned. "Painkiller wine is not poisonous." Zhou Mian stared at Ling Hao and said, seeing Ling Hao paused for a long time before drinking the wine in his hand, and then looked away, "I will come to see you in the evening, I hope this wine will be useful." .

Inexplicably, the tip of the tongue is full of extremely bitter taste, if not relying on Linglong Pill, in fact, Ling Hao probably wouldn't drink the wine Zhou Mian sent these days, just imagine, who would get close to a criminal for no reason, if not Pity him for having ulterior motives.With half a jug of wine in his stomach, he felt a burning sensation. Could it be that Zhou Mian used soju to fool himself this week... When he felt hot all over, Ling Hao realized that something was wrong. Ordinary medicinal wine could not have such a strong medicinal effect.The remaining half of the jug of wine was accidentally knocked over, and his body couldn't control himself. Ling Hao's mind sank, and the alarm bells rang in his heart. In the next second, his eyes fell into darkness.

When Zhou Mian returned to the prison again, what he saw was Ling Hao who had passed out. "It seems that only this medicine has worked. Do you want to start now or wait for him to wake up?" Zhou Mian stepped forward to open the cell door, knelt down and patted Ling Hao's face. "What medicine did you take?" A man in gray clothes walked out from the dark, looking at Ling Hao who was lying on the ground with a complicated expression.Zhou Mian just laughed, and finally took out a bamboo tube from his arms, put it between Ling Hao's nose and shook it, "Let him see you for the last time, so that he can die in peace.".

The man in gray didn't say a word, just stood there quietly, motionless, beside him was the table, except for a candle lamp, there was a white cloth and a long sword on the table, which was extremely monotonous.When Ling Hao regained consciousness, there was a voice echoing in his ears. When he opened his eyes, his brain was still in a chaotic state. The heat flow in his body hadn't gone away, but the fever was even worse. He tried to move his hands, but he couldn't use any strength. .The voice in the ear was getting louder and louder, and the eyes were focused for a while, and then he saw the figure in front of him, the target was Zhou Mian, Ling Hao gritted his teeth, "You...give me...what to drink...".

The person in front of him suddenly laughed, "What did you drink? You should have asked me that since the first day.".Zhou Mian put away the bamboo tube and looked at Ling Hao on the ground, "I'm running out of strength? Ling Hao, you also have this day, do you know why I serve you with good wine and food these days? Different poisons were put, but unfortunately, for some reason, these poisons didn't work on you."Hearing this, Ling Hao felt a chill all over his body. Who the hell is Zhou Mian and why did he hurt him so much--"In the end, I have to use this medicine. It is neither poison nor drug, but it can make you weak and make life worse than death." This is also good, we can have more time to settle the accounts between us."Zhou Mian stood up and picked up a white cloth from the table beside him, "You must not be merciful.", "Naturally." With two short words, the man in gray shifted his eyes from the white cloth to the sword.Hearing this, Ling Hao realized that Zhou Mian was not the only one in the prison. His eyes turned and he touched the man in gray clothes not far away. For a moment of stalemate, his chaotic mind seemed to be poured with ice water, and his brain was blank. hit.Ling Hao's pupils constricted, and his expression was full of disbelief. In this state, he recognized the person at a glance, the person he never expected to appear here——

"Why...you, are here—"
