Fengluo Pingyang

As soon as Xu Ruxin was taken to the prison of Dali Temple, he couldn't help but passed out.

During the inspection of the Marquis of Guang'an's Mansion, all the people in the mansion were locked in a small courtyard in the back house, guarded by soldiers and horses from the five cities and people from Dali Temple outside.Because he knew that the crimes committed by the Marquis of Guang'an must not be kind, so he was naturally not polite to the people in the Hou's mansion.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion, who has always been high above the sky, suddenly fell into the clouds, and those who can be locked here are naturally the servants in charge of the Hou Mansion, as well as the concubines of the Marquis of Guang'an and some maids. They have no qualifications, and now anyone can step on them.Looking at the shiny swords, guns and halberds in the hands of those people, the innocent female relatives were frightened, and the small courtyard was full of suppressed and frightened cries.

Xu Ruxin was locked in a room alone with Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu was already bewildered when she heard the movement outside, and she was also twitching in fear.Xu Ruxin was still thinking about the scene when he saw Marquis Guang'an on the road, but he was in a daze, not as shrewd as before.

Mrs. Xu held him in her arms and kept stroking his cheeks and forehead: "Ruxin, Ruxin, my son, what's wrong with you? Mother only has you now, so you must be safe."

Xu Ruxin gradually came back to his senses, but he just asked in a daze: "How could he do such a thing?"

In the past, he colluded with Cui Runuo, the king of Jiajun, to corrupt ink. As a result, the embankment of the river was almost broken, causing the people along the bank to suffer.Fortunately, Ling Ji made amends in time, so no serious consequences were caused.

It's not that he doesn't know that greed for ink is a serious crime, but he never feels that he has done something wrong.Anyway, if he is not greedy for those people, he will be greedy, at least the money he took out of his hands will eventually be used on the country and society.

Ever since Guang'anhou was almost defeated and died a few years ago due to poor backup, he has seen through that those courtiers who are full of countless principles of worrying about the country and the people are just hypocrites who only look at their own interests.Fortunately, that battle was narrowly won in the end, so the Marquis of Guang'an was granted the title of Marquis, and has been guarding the northwest frontier until today.

Everything he did was for the country and the country, for the man who had been defending the country for ten years.No matter what the Marquis of Guang'an asked him to do, he would obey without any doubt.Because Marquis Guang'an is an incomparable hero, how could such a brave and brave person do something wrong?

Even when he sent a letter asking him to destroy Pingguo's mansion, he did not hesitate.

But now, the hard facts smashed his faith to pieces.

How could that trembling man curled up in the prison car be the tall god-like father in his memory?

Mrs. Xu was still crying: "Xin'er, don't think about it, don't think about that person. He is a beast! Tiger poison doesn't even eat children, he is happy at the border with the money you have raised so hard Shamelessly asking for it repeatedly, he doesn't think about your suffering in the capital, why did he ever take you to heart?!"

Xu Ruxin felt dizzy for a while, and even his hands and feet became cold, lying in Mrs. Xu's arms, he didn't even have the strength to get up.

He stayed up like this for a day and a night without sleep, until Gu Feng sent someone to detain him in Dali Temple, Xu Ruxin couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.

"Wake him up." Gu Feng sat in the large grand master's chair in front of the interrogation room, and his subordinates at the side graciously handed over a small teapot. Splash Xu Ruxin with cold water.

Xu Ruxin woke up abruptly from his lethargy, choked on water again, coughed so hard that he lay on the ground and couldn't stand upright, looking quite embarrassed.

"My prison in Dali Temple is more comfortable than Wuhou's Mansion. Xu Shizi sleeps well." Gu Feng handed the teapot to his subordinate, shook the leather wrist, and greeted with a smirk.

Xu Ruxin stopped coughing slowly, sat up and leaned against the wall, but didn't even look at Gu Feng, just drooping his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Feng snorted coldly, waved his hands and said: "Come here, lock the criminal on the rack, and I will interrogate myself."

The little official at the side came forward with some embarrassment and whispered: "This...boss, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Now the emperor is only talking about the trial of the Marquis of Guang'an, but he has never mentioned how to deal with other people. He even mentioned this. It is due to Xu Shizi’s contribution to the preparation of military funds. Now I don’t know what the rules are, it is not appropriate for us to intercept people to Dali Temple, let’s not go too far..."

Gu Feng raised his foot and kicked the little official, glared at him and said: "Where is there so much nonsense?! You don't have to wait for the emperor to deal with the nonsense, I will deal with you now!"

The little official was helpless, holding his butt that was kicked so painfully, he could only call a few soldiers to set up Xu Ruxin and lock him on the wooden frame against the wall.

Gu Feng tapped his palms with a whip, and walked up to Xu Ruxin maliciously.

Xu Ruxin still lowered his head, his messy black hair covered his eyes, looking lifeless, he was like a traitor to the playboy who had been against him endlessly before.

Gu Feng lifted Xu Ruxin's chin with a whip, squinted his eyes and looked at his pale face, and said coldly: "Xu Shizi, I have a few questions for you. You should think about it before answering me. So as not to suffer unnecessary flesh and blood."

Xu Ruxin just lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Feng didn't care about him, and slowly said: "I want to ask you, you have cooperated with King Jiajun for so many years, you must have his account book. If I want this account book, Xu Shizi might as well do it conveniently." ?”

Xu Ruxin was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Gu Feng, but saw that he looked serious, and he was no longer as generous as before.

Unexpectedly, the rascal who used to fight chickens and dogs all day long is now doing serious business.

On the contrary, he was reduced from the proud son of heaven to a prisoner, and he was also burdened with a whole body of crimes.

The emperor's interrogation of Guang'anhou had no intention of complaining about the king of Jiajun, but it was Gu Feng's private investigation, and he intercepted Xu Ruxin to Dali Temple not entirely out of personal grievances.

Xu Ruxin moved his chapped lips: "Jiajun Wang is strict in his work, how could he leave such a handle in the hands of outsiders."

Gu Feng sneered: "Xu Shizi is not that stupid and reckless man, since he dared to conspire with King Jiajun to do these things, if he doesn't hold something in his hand, how can Shizi sleep at night?"

Xu Ruxin lowered his eyes again and said no more.

Gu Feng said coldly: "I know what your plan is. Do you think that Lord Jiajun is your ally and must help you? Let me tell you, daydreaming! You have always been just a pawn in the hands of King Jiajun. Now He is even more of an abandoned son, how could he go to such lengths for an abandoned son?! On the other hand, if you help me find the king of Jiajun, maybe, I can save you."

These words of his are a bit rogue and deceitful.Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor obviously didn't want to touch Xu Ruxin for the time being. Maybe it was because he had won the emperor's favor by organizing military funds, or maybe the emperor had other plans. In short, the emperor obviously wanted to let go of Xu Ruxin this time.Gu Feng dared to deceive and abduct here, but because Xu Ruxin was imprisoned and could not see anyone, he didn't know about those things.

Xu Ruxin's lips moved, his eyelashes trembled rapidly, and when he opened his eyes, there was a glimmer of water in his bloodshot eyes.

Gu Feng thought he was crying, so he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but when he looked closely, he could only see the dry eyes, where there was no trace of moisture.

"Let me meet... the Marquis of Guang'an." Xu Ruxin said in a low voice, "Let me meet the Marquis of Guang'an."

"What did you see him for?" Gu Feng frowned, "You father and son haven't combined enough bad things? If you still think about getting away with it now, you are simply stupid." The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is guarded by the emperor himself. How easy is it to see him?

Xu Ruxin just didn't listen, and repeated in a hoarse voice: "Gu Feng, find a way for me to meet the Marquis of Guang'an!"

"Shut up!" Gu Feng shook him off irritably.Xu Ruxin was struggling on the wooden scaffold, looking straight at Gu Feng with a pair of eyes: "Gu Feng, only I can help you with what you want to investigate. As long as you let me see the Marquis of Guang'an, I will help you! "

Gu Feng took two steps back and sized him up with a frown: "What's the use of seeing Marquis Guang'an now? The emperor's holy will has been decided, and the Marquis of Guang'an's mansion will never escape, or do you think you can turn things around by playing tricks? "

"I didn't intend to turn things around." Xu Ruxin's expression was gloomy, and his voice was hoarse, "I just... have something to ask him face to face. I don't want to give him an answer, I'm not reconciled!"

Gu Feng scoffed, and looked at Xu Ruxin impatiently: "It's really troublesome. Why do I want to help you? This officer is in Dali Temple. There is nothing else. There is never a mouth that cannot be pried open. Or Xu Ruxin The prince thought he was tougher than those trained spies?!"

Xu Ruxin opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say.Gu Feng was right, there were not any prisoners that Dali Temple wanted to interrogate.

Seeing him like this, Gu Feng smiled complacently: "Your bargaining chips are worthless in the eyes of this official! If Xu Shizi is knowledgeable, he should cooperate with this official obediently. I think that the official has made meritorious deeds in exposing him. In front of the emperor, I would like to ask for credit for the son. After all, I have known each other for a while, and I don't want to use those shady methods on the son." He kept talking, but several confidants knew that the boss was bluffing.

The emperor was still thinking about Xu Ruxin, how dare he punish Xu Ruxin?Not to mention using those tortures, until now I haven't even dared to beat him with a whip, so it can be seen that he is also cowardly.

"I beg you." Xu Ruxin said suddenly, blocking Gu Feng's words to the side of his throat, choking uncomfortably.

"Gu Feng, please let me beg you." Xu Ruxin had a mournful expression on his face, showing weakness that he had never seen before, "Please help me this time. Just let me meet the Marquis of Guang'an, you need to know I will talk endlessly about everything, and I will never take credit for it.”

Gu Feng stared at him with a strange expression on his face, but Xu Ruxin didn't care about his thoughts at all, he just begged: "You don't have to be afraid that I will lie to you. Now that I have committed a crime, what else can I do? "

No, Xu Shizi, you are not yet!The little officials on the sidelines couldn't help shouting from the bottom of their hearts, the emperor still remembers you, the boss is lying to you!

Gu Feng looked at Xu Ruxin strangely for a while, then threw the whip in his hand.

"You are wise! If you dare to have other thoughts, don't blame me for not thinking about old feelings!"

Shenwuhou Mansion.Lin Xuanying came to look for Ling Ji in a big cloak, before saying hello, she said, "Have you heard? Xu Ruxin was intercepted by Gu Feng and went to Dali Temple."

Ling Ji frowned slightly: "Aren't you going to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for trial? The emperor called me to ask about Xu Ruxin, and the meaning behind the words was that he didn't want to hold Xu Ruxin accountable, and he didn't want to accuse Guang'an Hou of collaborating with foreign enemies. Maybe I have to find an excuse for Xu Ruxin to offset the merits."

"Of course I know. But Gu Feng has never had a method in his affairs, and he had a grudge against Xu Ruxin before. It might not be good for Xu Ruxin to be intercepted by him." Lin Xuanying was also worried.

They all knew what the emperor was thinking, if the accusation of the Marquis of Guang'an's internal communication with foreign enemies was confirmed, the involvement would be too wide, the generals in Fengliu City might all be involved, and even the emperor might not be able to control the situation at that time.This is something the emperor can't afford. Now that the major incidents are reduced to minor ones, Marquis Guang'an can be dealt with anyway for the crime of raising bandits and self-respect. He still has the initiative to check and balance all parties.

As for Xu Ruxin, he is just a fool with his eyes blinded.

"Should we just sit on the sidelines now, or take care of it?" Lin Xuanying looked at Ling Ji and asked.
