Abandoned Emperor of Transmigration

Chapter 32【Get started】

In fact, to be precise, this is not considered "poisoning".

It is just because the liver function is disordered and cannot detoxify normally, which causes the body toxins to be unable to be discharged naturally, and then accumulate in the body.And because Changsun Xuanle was already weak, it would take about half a month for the symptoms to appear on a normal person, but he collapsed within a few days.

Ji Xing must come forward to preside over the overall situation and convene six ministers to discuss countermeasures.He hurried out, but stopped suddenly, and turned to look at someone beside the bed.

Yu Ziwen said coldly: "I won't do anything, just look at him. If Bai Ti wants to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate him, it will be safer with me around, right?"

Compared with Bai Ti, Yu Ziwen is really gentle, compassionate and gentleman.

Ji Xing threw his weird thoughts out of his mind, and after getting the promise of the majestic king of the country, he ran out the door with confidence, and then pushed everyone else away, and the room fell silent for a while.

Concubine Ming and Concubine Luo stood in the outer room, looking at each other, wanting to ask what happened to the man in Ji Xing's house, but Ji Xing dismissed them with a few words.

"The two masters should go back, presumably the emperor does not want to see the two masters so worried and hurt their bodies."

To put it bluntly, the two of you can't help here, and no one can take care of you right now, so what if you get delayed?

Concubine Ming and Concubine Luo also knew that it was not appropriate to be serious at this time, so they had to step back for the time being.

On the other side, late at night, in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Xiao Feng and others, who didn't know what happened in the palace, were still interrogating Xiao He at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Xiao He had been tortured to the brink of death.Wu Cheng sat outside the cell, staring at the oil lamp on the table in a daze.

Xiao Feng put away his whip, walked to the corner, picked up a wooden spoon, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on his hands, the bloody smell was slightly diluted.

Wu Cheng raised his head and looked at the unconscious Xiao He in the cell, with a bit of unbearable expression on his face.

"Can't we use other methods? The ancients said that people do something and don't do it. There is a way..."

"You read too much." Xiao Feng raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at him, "It's long-winded and not practical."

吴承：“……”

Wu Cheng said displeased: "It's true that the lower officials are inexperienced, but they also know the truth that power cannot be subdued. If you press him like this, even lower officials would not recruit."

"Oh?" Xiao Feng became a little interested, "I can't see that you have a lot of backbone."

"If it's for the country, for the emperor, I would rather die than be a traitor."

Xiao Feng grumbled, "Have you ever suffered from this kind of pain? Probably not. If you haven't experienced it, don't brag about it. Look at him, his muscles and body are much stronger than yours, and he can't hold it like this. , if it were you... tsk tsk tsk."

Xiao Feng shook his head, "But I still admire your courage, as the saying goes, those who don't know have no fear."

"You! Don't underestimate people!" Wu Cheng slapped the table and stood up. He was impulsive, and he was blown away by Xiao Feng's few words. He was about to say something when he heard the sound of the wind outside.

"Xiao Feng!" A man wearing the same official uniform as Xiao Feng ran in. He glanced at Wu Cheng, frowned, and lowered his voice, "I have a mission, let's go!"

The criminal officers are uniformly dressed, which is the easiest to stand out among the hundreds of officials.The visitor was also wearing a scarlet robe, a black belt embroidered with golden cross patterns, a pair of black silk shoes, and a long knife on his waist.

The other party's face was solemn, Xiao Feng put away his unruly expression, nodded, "Come right away."

He turned to Wu Cheng and said, "I will trouble Mr. Wu later, remember, you can only give him water, nothing else."

Wu Cheng looked at him, then at the visitor.The official hat of the visitor is also vermilion, which represents the second-rank official position.Even if Wu Cheng himself is the top grade, he still has to stay humble in front of a special department like a criminal officer.

He cupped his hands and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Cheng."

The man glanced at him and nodded his chin, thinking it was a salute, "Sen Hui."

This person is Sen Hui!

Wu Cheng raised his eyes in surprise, and looked at the man carefully for a moment.

Sen Hui looked not much older than himself, with a strong physique, half a head taller than Xiao Feng.His face was naturally fierce, and it is said that he is not afraid to interrogate people even if you are the king of heaven.

Among the criminal officers, he can be regarded as a man who has gained a reputation for his cruel methods.

Of course, it's not only his character methods that make him famous, but also his sister.Sen Hui's younger sister, Sen Zhao, is rumored to be a rare beauty, flattering but not vulgar, flamboyant but not coquettish, and anyone who is lucky enough to meet her will be full of praise.

Sen Zhao was recruited into the palace by the emperor when he was 16 years old, and now is the time to be favored. As Sen Zhao's elder brother, Sen Hui naturally has some benefits.

It is said that the next commander of criminal officers is likely to be one of Sen Hui and Xiao Feng. It is rumored that the relationship between the two of them is not compatible, and they are fighting openly and secretly for the position of commander in private, but in Wu Cheng's view, it is obviously not rumored by the outside world. That thing.

"Hurry up." Sen Hui stopped talking after greeting Wu Cheng, and only urged Xiao Feng, "I have to come to you first in the middle of the night, and I don't know what I owed you in my previous life!"

Xiao Feng smiled, put down the things in his hands, and took down the long knife hanging on the wall, "Master Sen, you don't say that when I'm being knifed for you."

Sen Hui snorted, turned and went out, Xiao Feng smiled slightly, looked at Wu Cheng, "Go back first today."

"??" Wu Cheng was puzzled, "There is still a guest room in the courtyard of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so it won't be a problem for just one night."

Xiao Feng seemed to want to say something, but in the end he stopped talking and said, "It's up to you."

Seeing that the two left the door quickly, Wu Cheng stood there for a while, then turned to look at the unconscious Xiao He.

He pushed open the iron gate, and the torch dragged the figures of the two on the wall, like ferocious monsters.

Xiao He was covered in wounds, some wounds were congealed, and some wounds were still bleeding, which looked horrible.

The smell of blood in the cell was stronger than outside, Wu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable, covered his mouth and nose and poked the man.

Xiao He's whole body was muscular, poking his fingers as if poking on a stone slab.

Xiao He woke up quickly.

"...Your Excellency still not resting?" He smiled miserably, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, it was full of sarcasm.

Wu Cheng frowned, "Why bother?"

"Why bother?" Xiao He snorted coldly, then bowed his head and stopped talking.

Wu Chengdao: "If you say so, I'll let you rest and give you medicine. In the kitchen there are warm flower carvings and half a catty of beef. I can cook and cook a bowl of braised pork for you. How about peanuts?"

Xiao He hadn't eaten enough for several days, so he couldn't help moving his throat.

Hearing the clear voice of swallowing saliva, Wu Cheng continued: "Is it uncomfortable to be splashed with cold water? I'll take you to the guest room at the back, where there will be a charcoal basin and incense. The quilt is the best silk quilt. Face is……"

"Enough." Xiao He interrupted in a cold voice, "Where's the criminal officer? This time you're here instead? He sings a bad face and you sing a red face?"

Wu Cheng shook his head, "He has something to do, leave the rest to me, I'm just thinking about you. It's a cold day, freezing here, and the wound on his body heals slowly, the whip cracked again, you look……"

Wu Cheng stretched out his hand to touch the congealed wound, Xiao He couldn't help trembling.

"This wound is basically frozen. If it is torn suddenly, it will be even the flesh..."

Xiao He didn't feel overwhelmed after being tortured for several days, but Wu Cheng's few words made his back a little creepy.

"It's useless for you to say these things." Xiao He poked his neck and said, "I'm just a grassroots person, and I don't understand anything! You officials, you can do whatever you want. If you kill me today, you will wrap yourself in a straw mat tomorrow. I'm buried, who will know?"

Wu Cheng shook his head, "I want to be a good official."

Xiao He was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "Good officials? Are there any good officials in this mysterious country?"

Wu Cheng frowned, "There will be."

Xiao He didn't bother to talk to him, so he didn't start, "What about love, it's up to you."

Wu Cheng saw that he was not willing to enter, so he had to retreat first to find another way.

The oil lamp on the table swayed a few times, cold wind poured in from the door, and several figures flashed by the door of the prison.Wu Cheng poured himself a cup of hot tea, sat on the wet bench holding the cup and looked up at Xiao He.

"Xuan Kingdom is in chaos now, but that's because of Gu Changcheng's presence, and the emperor turned a blind eye."

Xiao He closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Wu Cheng also ignored it, and said to himself, "I originally thought that I would have no ambitions in Wangcheng, and maybe I have to go back to farm. But can I be safe when I go back to farming? The Xuan Kingdom is unstable, and it's the same wherever I go. , oppressed by corrupt officials, taxes are increasing year by year, and disasters are ignored, I heard that cannibalism has already happened in Nanyao."

Xiao He said coldly: "So? Gu Changsheng is dead, Xuan Kingdom will be saved?"

"Gu Changsheng is just the first step." Wu Cheng shook his head, "Since the emperor can wake up, there will be a second or third person who will end up like Gu Changsheng. Don't you see? The emperor's revised law, It is also put on the agenda to divide the scientific research into two categories, civil and military, and the road is always to be taken step by step. The Xuan Kingdom has been in chaos for too long, and even if it is to be restored, it will not be a matter of one day."

Xiao He finally opened his eyes and looked at Wu Cheng, "Master Wu... is very young."

Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I used to be Shang Shulang, fortunately the emperor promoted me."

"What's wrong with the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Confiscate the house and exile." Wu Chengdao: "This is the evidence of the emperor's awakening."

"Oh." Xiao He shook his head, "Wake up? Without Gu Changsheng, others treat him one way on the surface and another behind the scenes. Do you know how many people are coveting the throne? How many people dream of pulling him down? One The emperor is too incompetent, so incompetent that he has lost even the imperial prestige, and the officials have no respect or fear for him, what else can he do?"

Xiao He took a look at Wu Cheng, closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "I can only win over some insignificant people, promise them rights and money, and deceive myself and others."

Wu Cheng was furious and stood up abruptly, "You are talking nonsense! The emperor is not like this! He didn't promise me anything, he..."

Before the words were finished, the door of the cell was suddenly kicked open, and several figures rushed through the door.The slender candle flame was blown to death by the cold wind that poured in, and it struggled hard for the tiny flame.

"Who?!" Wu Cheng turned around, but a steel knife was placed on his neck.

The person who came was dressed in black and wore a mask, his voice was muffled behind him, and he said in a vicious voice: "Whose baby, why doesn't he go back to hug his daughter-in-law in the middle of the night, what is he doing here?"

Wu Cheng blushed suddenly, "Who are you calling baby! I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment! You people are so bold..."

"Yo? Still a Shangshu?" The man plucked his ears and said indifferently: "That's a good relationship. I'll kill you and hang your head on the Jingxuan Gate to scare that little emperor."

Wu Cheng raised his brows, "A man, you have to cover your face when you kill someone. If you have the skills, don't hide behind the mask. How about showing your true face!"

"Tsk tsk." Before the masked man could speak, a voice sounded slowly from behind.

It was a woman's voice, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, her figure outlined in black clothes became more and more seductive, she walked slowly, and hooked her finger towards Wu Cheng's chin.

"Little brother is quite hot-tempered, but I like it. I thought you would kneel down like everyone else, crying and screaming. If that was the case, I would look down on you."

The woman also wears a mask, but her voice is full of smiles and stern.

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking to Wu Cheng and turned to look into the cell.

Seeing them, Xiao He cheered up, "Why are you here?"

"Master asked us to rescue you." The woman flicked a sharp dagger out of her cuff, quickly cut the rope, and helped Xiao He down.

Xiao He was covered in injuries, and when he got off the ground, he gasped in pain.

The woman turned her head to look at Wu Cheng, and ordered, "Kill him."

Wu Cheng's heart turned cold, thinking that today's order must be explained here.Suddenly, I remembered Xiao Feng's hesitant expression when he left. Could it be that he knew what would happen?

The blade pressed against Wu Cheng's neck, exuding a cold and murderous aura.

Wu Cheng only felt his knees go weak, and there was a sudden bang not far away, and the courtyard door was violently knocked open.

"Good time!" The visitor yelled, and swung out the hidden weapons one after another. The big man pushed Wu Cheng aside and raised his hand to block it.There was a jingle on the steel knife, and several sleeve arrows fell to the ground.
