After teasing the emperor, I overturned the car

Chi Yi leaned against the iron railing, tilted his head and said slowly: "I understand your thoughts, if you don't confess the person who is the chief envoy, he will continue to make trouble, and finally wipe out the country of Gu, which is regarded as revenge for your family. "

Shi Lie raised his head and looked away.

"But have you ever thought about who should be blamed for your family's death in corvee?"

"Corrupt officials, the imperial court and the emperor, of course."

Chi Yi chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "Corrupt officials, the imperial court and the emperor, these are the three forces, do you think they are in the same group? Do you know whether it is the magistrate of Longzhou who is aggravating the corvee, or which magistrate is the magistrate below, or are they united?" The result? Are these people connected to the court? Are they doing this to make money, please the emperor, or attack other parties? Are you sure that the person behind the scenes is not the same person you are protecting now?"

"If you don't understand these things, then you should write a complaint and knock on Deng Wengu, and someone will investigate for you. You indiscriminately push the crime to the palace. Do you really want revenge, or do you just want to find a place to vent your hatred? ?”

"Even if you can really change the dynasty, which dynasty does not have tyrants and corrupt officials? You think this is a righteous act, but in fact you are creating more tragedies like you!"

The man in the prison lowered his eyes and turned his head away.Chi Yi knew that this person would not let go easily, so he put away his serious expression, frowned, and said in a low voice, "How about making a deal? Tell me everything you know, and I'll help you investigate the affairs of Longzhou."

"You may not be able to find out."

"...One more thing, I'll try my best to save your life, isn't that enough?"

Shi Lie was silent for a long time, opened and closed his lips several times, and finally said softly: "There is a hidden compartment under my bed, just find the loose place on the ground."

When Chi Yi heard this, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Isn't this task completed?

But I am a little worried, I have to do what I promised, but how can I investigate the matter in Longzhou?How to save Shi Lie's life?He has no idea.

Chi Yi turned around and walked a short distance away. When he saw Guo Yu, he deliberately raised his voice: "Tell these jailers to be careful, don't really let this man die."

He told Shi Lie the clue, sat in the wing room for a while, and Guo Yu presented a small wooden box.Chi Yi opened it, and there was a letter in it, the paper was yellowed and badly folded.

The wording of this letter is superficial, even ordinary soldiers like Shi Lie can understand it.But the language was extremely inflammatory, denouncing corrupt officials, sympathizing with Shi Lie's experience, and shifting the responsibility for the death of his family to the emperor.

So, the reason why this person hates the court of Gu Kingdom so much is because he read this letter?

Next, the letter even helped Shi Lie figure out how to get revenge.The news of the change in payment method, the content of the rumors, the channel of dissemination... all the steps have been arranged in detail, and it is completely a fool's teaching.

Of course, this letter will not be signed, and it will be destroyed after reading it at the end.But Shi Lie probably didn't remember it after reading it. Not only did he not burn it, but he also circled the operation steps and took notes.

Chi Yi handed the letter to Guo Yu and ordered, "Take it and compare it with all the documents in the camp."

He was curious about the results of the investigation, so he waited in the barracks and had another dinner by the way.It wasn't until the dead of night that Guo Yu reported in frustration: "I haven't seen similar handwriting before."

Chi Yi was lost in thought, so he had to go outside to look for it again. It was too late at night, and he was too embarrassed to keep disturbing these people, so he had to go back with the letter first.

The winter night in the capital is covered with coolness, and the wheels roll into the Forbidden Palace.

As soon as he entered Zhenghuai Palace, Chi Yi handed the letter to Yang Shun, "Find your subordinates, find out all the memorials and documents in the palace, and compare the handwriting with this letter. If it's not the same, I'll go to Wenzhou tomorrow." Yuan Pavilion, if it doesn't work..."

"Young Master Chi," Yang Shun's fair face was full of worry, "Your Majesty is in Zhuoqing Bay, I want you to go there as soon as you come back."

Chi Yi frowned, "Zhuoqing Bay? It's very interesting to go to see the scenery in the middle of the night. But why did you call me? I've been busy all day, so I can't let me take a break..."

Yang Shun's expression was about to cry, "Sir, don't talk about it, go over quickly..."

Chi Yi blinked in confusion, what's wrong?

……

Zhuoqing Bay is a pond at the corner of the Imperial Garden. The word "Bay" is used because of its remote location and long and narrow shape.Originally, the bay was full of lotus flowers, but in winter, the stems and leaves withered and the duckweeds were scattered. It was a depressed scene.

A stone road is paved from the shore to the bay, and a small square pavilion is built at the end of the road. Only two or three people can stand in the pavilion.The surrounding pavilions have been in disrepair for a long time, and there are several obvious scratches on the bottom.

It's a scratch on the chain.

Several thick iron chains were tied there, extending from the pavilion pillars to the pool, tied to a child's wrist, and together with several other iron chains, tied him tightly in the water, unable to move.

At the age of six, he has not yet practiced martial arts, and he is unable to resist the chill of the pool water, so he has to let it soak into his muscles and bones.

After soaking in the water for half an hour on a winter night, his whole body was shaking, and every joint in his limbs was aching.Every inch of skin that touches the water is sending a signal of death. It is impossible to die, and it is better to die.

He Rongchuan stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, the water was already cold, and the weather was bleak today, he didn't wear a cloak when he went out, if he didn't use his internal strength to protect his body, he really felt a bit like he did back then.

The child who was bitten by the cold in the water was at a loss, struggling in despair, and the cries for help were drowned in the sewage from his mouth and nose.

He would only blame the palace maids who tied him to the iron chain, and then go back and tell his gentle and loving mother who considered him in everything, and she would clean them up and find out who was behind the scenes.

A gust of cold wind hit, He Rongchuan let out a snort, held the jade bead on his wrist, and activated his internal energy to dispel the chill.

He originally thought that those years of old events had already calmed down, so when he returned to the palace, he didn't ask anyone to renovate the garden.

But for some reason, just now in Zhenghuai Palace, he heard the secret guard report what Chi Yi said in the barracks sentence by sentence, and he suddenly thought of this place, those days of helpless struggle, and his absurd beliefs.

The black clothes were hidden in the night, he raised his head slightly, the stars and the moon were sparse.

The boundless night was illuminated by a little fire light, Chi Yi took the lantern at the entrance of the pavilion, and stood for a long time without daring to go in.Even though he only saw a figure from the back, he could still feel the hostility surrounding that person.

"Your Majesty, that... are you looking for me?"

He Rongchuan didn't turn around, and his tone was flat: "When you were outside, there were hidden guards from the palace, didn't you know that?"

Chi Yi was stunned, he didn't do anything bad outside, so if someone followed him, he would follow.

He Rongchuan turned his head slightly, and bit out every word from between his teeth and tongue: "You hate me so much that you tell it to outsiders. I really didn't expect it."

These words made Chi Yi dizzy, he had been talking for him outside, how could he hear the resentment?

He looked back at Yang Shun asking for help, and Yang Shun ran away.

"Don't you remember what you said in the cell?"

cell?Chi Yi frowned, remembering what he seemed to have said... Destroy Gu Country?

He quickly explained: "I was exaggerating. The man's conspiracy was to change the dynasty. I followed his train of thought to persuade him. It's not that such a thing as a dynasty change is possible..."

The more he explained, the more chaotic he became. To save trouble, Chi Yi always chose to show weakness at this time.He lowered his brows and said humbly, "I'm sorry, I was careless."

The person in the pavilion turned his head sideways, as if he didn't hear his apology, "Which dynasty didn't have tyrants and corrupt officials?"

Hearing this, Chi Yi's heart trembled.I was careless today, thinking that I was surrounded by people in the military camp, so I thought of saying whatever.The change of dynasty may be just a hypothesis, but the tyrant really scolded He Rongchuan Benchuan.

"Change the dynasty and destroy the tyrant—this is why you made friends with the generals of the Central Army?"

These words frightened Chi Yi solidly, and he blurted out: "No! These two things have nothing to do with each other, this is a misunderstanding!"

So this person suspects that he is going to rebel?If he is convicted, he can lie down in the cauldron right now.

"Yao Han is in charge of the general affairs of the court, and Xu Jian is in charge of the army. You have close contacts with the two of you; spy on my will inside, and slander you outside... What do you want?"

Chi Yi's mind was in a mess. If he explained it, he had no convincing evidence at all, and it was likely to become darker and darker.Even if you get into the halo of the protagonist now, you can't stay in it forever. What about the unfinished tasks?

He Rongchuan suddenly started to walk far away, until he entered the pavilion, about ten steps away from Chi Yi.A sharp look came over him, and he locked on his face, "What do you have to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion? Or what benefits did it give you?"

Chi Yi felt a strong oppression, even though he was far away, he could still swallow him up at any time.

It's over, it's over, now there's no way to hide in the protagonist's aura.His mind was blank, and he closed his eyes in resignation, waiting for the tyrant to be dragged down to cook, and even began to think about how to escape from the pot.

The night wind was cold, and there was a faint fishy smell of pool water in the air.For a moment, everything becomes unreal.

After waiting for a long time, I heard a deep and gloomy voice: "Yao Han sent you into the palace, and that was given to me. Chi Yi, what benefits do you still have to rely on from the old master... Is it because I can't give it to you? "

Chi Yi:?
