How do treacherous courtiers with love brain save themselves

Bai Yuhui was invited back to Dali Temple by a group of people.

Dali Temple Qing Gao was sitting in the main hall, and after Bai Yuhui finished his salute, he said slowly, "On the night three days ago, were you in the residence, Bai Shangshu?"

Bai Yuhui pondered for a moment, then said, "Not here."

"Then where did you go? Is there any evidence?"

Bai Yuhui thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Walk around casually, there is no witness."

"Then have you been to Jufeng Tower?"

"been."

"Have a meal?"

"No."

"What's that for?"

"take something."

"Oh? What a coincidence? I don't know what Bai Shangshu took?"

Regarding the many disturbances during Chen Shangshu's burial, Bai Yuhui knew the general idea no matter how he kept his ears to the outside world.

In his mind, he also guessed that someone might have harmed Lao Shangshu, and inviting him to Dali Temple at this time must be related to this matter.

Bai Yuhui closed his eyes and meditated, his mind turning a thousand times.

Because Bai Yuhui kept silent, Mr. Gao couldn't judge whether he was the culprit who murdered Lao Shangshu for a while, so he could only put him in the prison of Dali Temple and wait for another interrogation.

Bai Yuhui changed into plain prison clothes, sat quietly in the cell, looked at the tiny amount of light on the small window, and chuckled softly.

Whether he has harmed Lao Shangshu, he knows better than anyone else.

This is just a trap set by someone, and he still doesn't know who it is.

But he believed that soon, the person who set the trap would come to negotiate terms with him.

The light in the prison was dim, and time seemed to pass much slower than outside.

After two meals, Bai Yuhui met the first person who came to visit him.

It's Prime Minister Zuo.

"You were framed, the old man knows."

"Thank you for your trust."

"However, this old man doesn't want to interfere in this matter, you should know."

"Thank you for your frankness, sir."

"Originally you were also going to withdraw from the court, so why don't you take advantage of this time and simply hide." Prime Minister Zuo's cold voice collided against the icy walls, and when it entered Bai Yuhui's ears, it was even more chilling.

"Thank you for your compassion."

After sending away Prime Minister Zuo who had never glanced at Bai Yuhui from the beginning to the end, a girl in pink and wearing a cloak of the same color quietly sneaked into the cell.

The jailer leading the way said politely, "Princess Anping, please come this way."

Princess Anping, the beloved daughter of the Marquis of Anping, is very much loved by the Marquis. She is seventeen years old, a good age for a matchmaker.

With the same appearance and the same age as a flower, a large number of princes and nobles are whining around her, but she secretly loves the young official secretary Bai Yuhui.

This is not really a secret, after all, Princess Anping would ride in the carriage of his own Marquis Mansion and swagger to deliver some things to Shangshu Mansion every once in a while.

People on the street have seen many.

Bai Yuhui sat on the cattail grass, smiled at the princess through the cell door, "What is the princess doing here? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

A 17-year-old girl ran to such a place full of yin and hostility at night, and there was a faint shenyin screaming in her ears, which made people tremble from toes to hair. Go back without insomnia.

Princess Anping put down the food box in his hand, raised a beautiful face, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Mingyun, I heard that you didn't justify yourself in the lobby? How could you not argue? Talk about eloquence in the hall , How many people can compare with you? If you accept the punishment and accept the punishment, do you intend to... let Dali Temple convict you? But, why is this?"

Bai Yuhui didn't expect that the little girl could see his purpose and was a little surprised.

He smiled and said: "The princess has grown up, and she sees things more comprehensively. Yes, why? I don't know, maybe it's just being an official and annoying."

The princess blushed a little, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn by herself, and said in a low voice: "If you are an official, you can...you can be the son-in-law of our Marquis Mansion...I love you You should...know."

Bai Yuhui smiled dotingly and said: "The princess's kindness is in my heart. However, I said that I am not a good man, and I ask the princess not to waste time on me, wasting my good years for nothing."

"You... what do you dislike about me?"

Bai Yuhui pursed his lips slightly, and said, "I don't like women."

!!!

When Princess Anping came out of the cell, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Her footsteps were flimsy and she was put into the carriage by the little maid at the door. All the way, she was pondering whether Bai Yuhui's "I don't like women" had the same meaning as what I understood.

There is also the goodness of Longyang in Shengjin Kingdom, and she has heard of it to some extent.

It's just that it's someone else's business, so she just listens to it as gossip.

However, her sweetheart actually told her that he doesn't like women?

Princess Anping is not well.

Half a day later, a third person came to visit Bai Yuhui.

It's Anpinghou.

The old Hou Ye usually looked amiable, but now standing in this cold and humid prison, he still had a smile on his face, and said with concern: "Ming Yun, I don't believe that the death of the old Shangshu has anything to do with you. , I believe you."

Bai Yuhui sat on the cattail grass without getting up, and replied coldly, "Thank you."

Seeing that he didn't look up, Old Hou Ye had a slightly colder smile on his face, and said kindly, "Did Anping visit you during the day?"

"Well, the princess has already been here, and I have told her clearly that I don't like women."

An Pinghou's smile completely collapsed, and he said in a bad tone, "You... how could you..."

Bai Yuhui raised his eyes and smiled: "Don't you, Lord Hou, also hope that the princess and I will have nothing to do in this life? Otherwise, there is no need to make such a big circle, am I right?"

Anpinghou's face was dark, because the light in the prison was not good, so he couldn't see clearly.

He could only vaguely tell from Master Hou's feeling that he was very angry.

"What do you mean by that!"

Bai Yuhui lowered his head and flicked off the cockroaches on the hem of his clothes, clapped his hands and stood up, approached the prison door, and whispered, "Where did I go that night, others don't know, Lord Hou should know."

Old Hou Ye was slightly shocked, but did not refute.

Bai Yuhui changed his posture, leaned against the prison door, and continued: "I went to Jufeng Tower that day, and I ran into a young man from the Hou's mansion at the door. When I came out of Jinzhangshi's mansion, I ran into your mansion again." Boy, this should... not be a coincidence."

An Pinghou's fists clenched in his sleeves were clenched, unexpectedly he knew all about it.

"I also heard that Master Hou has a good personal relationship with Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and they often eat, drink and watch plays together. Unfortunately, the old Shangshu and I are not so harmonious. If I go to the old Shangshu with food, he will be afraid. Just throw it out for me? However, if this person is familiar to Lao Shangshu himself, I am afraid that Lao Shangshu will not be so careful, are you right?"

An Pinghou took a step forward, and said in a sinister tone, "Do you have evidence for what you said?"

Bai Yuhui took the opportunity to sit back on the cattail grass next to the wall, folded his hands behind his head, and said with a smile, "Of course not. This is all my guess."

"Then why didn't you argue in the lobby, waiting for Mr. Gao to be convicted?"

Bai Yuhui said: "It's not entirely true. I just want to make sure that the one who tripped me up behind my back is not Lord Hou. Now that I know, I can die with a clear understanding. It's good."

"You are open-minded. You don't want to know why you got into trouble?"

Bai Yuhui snorted coldly, and said with a smile, "I'm just a pawn, so what's the use of it other than getting in the way? The so-called troublesome upper body is just those pawns that get eaten in the game, who happen to be your friends, Lord Hou? "

"you……"

"Since I was able to overthrow the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, I have done a lot of homework. You and him are good brothers with different surnames. If I don't even know this, I won't be able to sit securely in this seat. Marquis, My chess piece can be used by the master to this day, and I have some skills."

At this time, Anpinghou was not angry, and was surprisingly calm.

The candles in the cell were flickering non-stop, reflecting Hou Ye's tall figure on the wall even more rough and terrifying.

The guards in the cell were temporarily dismissed by Lord Hou. At this time, even if Lord Hou killed Bai Yuhui, no one could stop him.

An Pinghou stood quietly in the aisle of the prison, looked up at the mottled marks on the roof, and sighed: "Do you want to go out? Promise me one condition, and I will let you out."

Bai Yuhui said without hesitation: "This place is very good, I don't plan to go out."

Anping Hou raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "You know my conditions?"

"I won't use it for you, thank you Lord Marquis for your love."

"I don't know what to do, you will come to beg me sooner or later." Clothes fluttered, and the candle like a bean became precarious for a while, after shaking a few times, it finally calmed down.

The cell was still so quiet, the water vapor seeping from the roof condensed into water droplets, ticking on the moss-stained slate, echoing crisply in the long corridor.

The night is too long.

After four days of silence in Dali Temple, Bai Yuhui was brought to the lobby of Dali Temple again.

This time, not only Mr. Gao from Dali Temple, but also Minister of the Ministry of Justice sat in the hall.

Because although Bai Yuhui is suspected, there is really no solid evidence to prove that Cun Xin was brought out by Bai Yuhui from Jufeng Tower, and there is no evidence to prove that Bai Yuhui went to the mansion of Minister of the Ministry of War that night, so all guesses can only be guesses .

Mr. Gao thought about it, thinking that at a time like this, he should let the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment come to interrogate him, and see if Bai Yuhui can spit out something useful for public and private purposes.

Bai Yuhui knelt down in the hall, with his hands behind his back, waiting for the two adults to ask questions.

"Bai Shangshu, what exactly did you go to Jufeng Tower that night? You are a suspect now, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being merciless." .

Every time he took a shot, the corners of the eyes of Mr. Gao next to him twitched.

Why is this minister of punishment so violent?

Bai Yuhui raised his eyes to meet the eyes of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and said with a smile: "My lord, I went to Jufeng Tower that night, just to get some food, no other intention."

"Food? What kind of food needs Lord Shangshu to pick it up in person? Bai Shangshu, please don't speak wildly."

"Just a box of snacks."

"For whom?"

"a friend."

"It's inconvenient to disclose."

"Inconvenient? Bai Shangshu, please look up at the plaque above this place. Where do you think this is? This is not your Shangshu Mansion, this is Dali Temple. Is it inconvenient for you to tell me here? It seems that it is really unnecessary You still can’t figure out the situation.”

Master Gao felt that something was wrong just now, and it seemed that the minister of punishment was more angry than himself, for fear that he would not be able to control himself, and then...

"Come here, give me twenty big boards first, and see if it's inconvenient for others."

? ? ? ! ! !

Mr. Gao nearly fell off the chair.

what's going on.

Although he asked the emperor to temporarily transfer the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to assist him, he also has the right to deal with some matters, but if there is a disagreement, start a fight. Is this a new routine that has been popular recently in the Ministry of Justice?

The mighty guards were very obedient, and they supported Bai Yuhui on the bench with boards to prevent him from raising his head and breaking free.

The other two guards, one on the left and the other on the right, shouted a chant and started fighting.

Mr. Gao was already in a cold sweat.

After thinking about it again and again, he hurriedly stopped the board that had already dropped five or six times.

"Stop. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the emperor sent you here to assist this official. Isn't it a bit preposterous for you to do so? Also, although this Bai Shangshu is suspected, there is indeed no solid evidence to prove that Cun Xin was brought out by him. I carefully I asked before, that Cunxin is colorless and tasteless, it is a spice. It can be put in the broth to enhance the aroma and remove the oil. If the amount is used in large quantities, it will become a poisonous drug that sees blood and seals the throat. The back kitchen of Jufeng Building, all It is taken care of by their lame Li, who has not been caught so far, so it will be difficult to convince the public if he imposes heavy punishment now?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment didn't even raise his eyelids, and said with a sneer, "When you catch that lame Li, the old Shangshu's body will attract flies. What did he take and where he went that night, Bai Shangshu just needs to say If he doesn’t say anything, we’ll find a way to get him to say it. Prying his mouth is much faster than looking for a needle in a haystack. What to do, keep beating.”

...Master Gao thought to himself, my mother, it's no wonder that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is so efficient. With such ruthless people in charge, I'm afraid even those who are not guilty will be tortured into tricks.
