Halfway through the hearing, Minghui's face turned white, and he almost wanted to vomit, but he was suppressed by force. After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he let out a breath, and said angrily, "It's so heartless! How could that be? Is there such a vicious person?"

When Li Yan heard about such a horrific case, his complexion also changed, and he said in a deep voice, "This is not good, we can't bear such a heavy scapegoat!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and tried hard to think of a countermeasure .

Seeing his thick eyebrows furrowed and his complexion heavy, Minghui was also anxious. He really wanted to share these troubles for his husband, but he was really stupid, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of a good way.

At this moment, Li Yanhui opened his eyes and shouted, "Zhao Feng!"

"Yes, my son."

"Now we have to get out of trouble first." Li Yan whispered a few words in Zhao Feng's ear. He was not sure if there would be eyeliner in this cell, so he had to lower his voice and confessed like this with.

After Zhao Feng listened, he nodded again and again, then stepped out.

"Sanggong, what did you ask Zhao Feng to do?" Ming Hui asked curiously.

Li Yanhui smiled mysteriously, "The mountain people have their own tricks."

In the evening, when County Magistrate Hu was about to have dinner, the big drum at the gate of the county government office was thumping loudly. He complained angrily, but adjusted his official uniform and walked to the lobby.

When the drummer saw the county magistrate, he came forward and cried, "My lord, I beg you to be the master of the people!" "Oh? What grievances do you have? Tell me quickly!" Hu The county magistrate urged him to settle the case quickly so that he could go back to eat.

The man cried, "My lord, just now, Xiaomin's child was lost!"

Upon hearing that there was another missing child case, Magistrate Hu stood up from the stool in shock, and said in disbelief, "How is it possible? Isn't the prisoner who abducted the child already locked up by the officer?"

The head catcher next to him couldn't see it, so he leaned over and said in a low voice, "My lord, that's just a suspect, I can't be sure that it's the child kidnapper."

County magistrate Hu had no choice but to sit down again, cleared his throat, and asked, "How old is your child? Where did you lose it? Tell me in detail?" The child's father said, "My lord, Xiaomin's child this year He was five years old, and he was on the street. Xiaomin just turned around, and the child disappeared. The whole family searched for a long time but couldn't find it. They had to report the crime to the adults, and asked the adults to send someone to help find them. "

County magistrate Hu twitched his beard and said to the headhunter, "Then you lead a team to look for it."

"Yes, my lord." The headhunter took the order and left.

At this time, there was another loud drumming sound.

County magistrate Hu couldn't help frowning, and cursed a few words, "Damn it! Is it over yet?"

This time it was Hai Meng who came in.

County magistrate Hu asked, "Who are you? What grievances do you have?"

Haimeng said, "My lord, I'm here for my young master, my young master has been wronged, please see clearly!"

"Who is your son?"

"My son is the one who was mistaken for a murderer by the adults today, and he is currently locked up in the prison." Haimeng said, "I heard just now that another child is missing here, but my son has been locked up all this time." In the prison, how can we commit crimes? From this we can see that my young master was wronged, so I ask you to release my young master."

"This?" County magistrate Hu showed reluctance, and finally caught a foreigner as a scapegoat, but at this time there was another incident of losing a child, alas, God is not kind.

Haimeng continued, "My lord, this is the passport given by the pier today. It can prove that we came to Xiyue Kingdom today. How could we commit such a big crime that lasted for several months? Besides, my son and us Lord Du from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is a close friend, and before leaving, Lord Du specially confessed that he asked my young master to drink three cups with him after he returned."

When County Magistrate Hu heard this, he had already dismissed the idea of ​​Li Yanhui as a scapegoat. He thought he was a small merchant with no background, but who knew that he had contacts with court officials. He didn't want to cause such trouble, so he said, "Okay, I know, I will release him in a while."

Haimeng was overjoyed, "Thank you, sir!"

When Li Yanhui and Minghui walked out of the prison, they were overjoyed.

Li Yan pulled Minghui back, "Hurry up! Let's get out of here quickly!"

Just as the two of them were about to arrive at the pier, the head catcher led a team of people and quickly chased them over.

"Don't run! Catch them!"

With one order, more than a dozen officials surrounded Li Yanhui and the two of them, and there was less than a quarter of an hour between them.

So, Li Yanhui and Minghui returned to the same cell just now.

The reason for magistrate Hu to imprison him again is, "The child who was lost just now was killed, but his brain was not sucked out. It can be seen that this prisoner is not a murderer, and the two of you can't do it." Wash away the suspicion!"

Li Yan hurriedly called Zhao Feng and asked, "What's the matter with that child? Didn't I tell you not to hurt anyone?" Zhao Feng lowered his head and said, "My lord, I guarantee with my life, I definitely didn't hurt him, I just locked him up, who knows, I just left for a short while, and he was killed!"

After listening to Li Yan, she couldn't help screaming inwardly, "It seems that we are being targeted!"

He thinks he is acting in a hidden way, but in fact, everything is under the nose of others.Being stared at by a pair of invisible eyes like this, Li Yanhui felt extremely powerless. Who on earth wanted to harm him like this?

While he was thinking, the prison cell was opened, and two yamen servants came in, stepped forward and set Minghui up.

"What are you going to do?" Li Yanhui hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and asked.

The yamen servant pushed him away with a palm and said, "Your Excellency wants to ask questions, go aside, don't get in the way!"

Seeing that Li Yanhui was going to fight them, Ming Hui hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, just ask questions, I'll be back in a while."

People under the eaves had to bow their heads, Li Yanhui could only watch helplessly as Minghui was taken away.

The waiting time was the longest. Li Yanhui kept looking at the door of the cell, hoping that it would be pushed open soon, and then Minghui would appear in front of him.

About two quarters later, when it was already dark outside, Ming Hui was brought back.

Li Yan hurriedly pulled him to his side and asked, "How is it? Did they torture you?"

Ming Hui's face was pale, the blood between his lips faded, his eyes were dull, he just shook his head blankly, "No, I'm fine."

It didn't look like it was all right, Li Yanhui straightened him, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Minghui, tell me, what happened?"

But Minghui just tightly grabbed Li Yanhui's sleeve, with a painful expression on his face, "...my husband."

When Li Yan saw him looking pitiful, like an abandoned puppy, her heart softened all of a sudden, "Minghui, don't be afraid, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it, as long as you are fine. gone."

Minghui stretched out a hand to touch Li Yanhui's face, but Li Yanhui noticed with sharp eyes that Minghui's index finger was still stained with blood, so he quickly grabbed that hand and asked, "What's going on? How did you get hurt?"

Ming Hui seemed to be frightened, and suddenly withdrew his hand, and the scene just now appeared before his eyes again.

After he came out of the cell, he was taken to a side room by the two yamen servants.

The room was beautifully furnished, the green gauze swayed slightly with the wind, a small incense burner on the desk was emitting lavender cigarettes, the air was full of the fragrance of flowers, it was intoxicating.

"You're here." Behind the veil, there was a faintly indistinct person lying on the soft couch, with a lazy voice.

Ming Hui looked at him vigilantly, "Who are you? Where is Mr. Hu?" Didn't you mean that Mr. Hu wanted to ask questions?How could you bring him to such a place?

Just when Minghui was wondering, the veil was lifted by a pair of slender fingers, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

"It's you!" Ming Hui recognized it, it was the man who robbed him of the peach blossom mask, "We gave you the mask, what else do you want?"

"Hahaha!" The man laughed out loud after hearing this, "Do you think I came to you because of the mask? On the contrary, I came to grab the mask because of you."

Minghui was confused, but he understood one thing, "You deliberately asked Magistrate Hu to lock us up!" After thinking for a while, he asked, "That child! You killed that child too? To deliberately frame us?"

"You're so smart!" the man praised without hesitation, "Then guess again, why did I lock you up?"

"Why?" Minghui didn't dare to guess anymore.

The man stepped forward, raised Minghui's small chin frivolously, and looked at this beautiful face carefully, "I have been looking for this face for a long time, although there is still a little flaw on it, but I can cover it up a little." Give it a shot, it should still work.”

Ming Hui was terrified, and his hair stood on end. What do you mean by "can still be used"?

"You, what do you want to do?" Ming Hui couldn't help but took two steps back.

The man saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I never thought of killing you. I just wanted to borrow a little blood from you."

Minghui quickly calmed down, since he wanted his blood, he just came up to get it, why bother with so much nonsense?Unless, he has other reasons, he said, "What if I don't borrow it?"

The man was a little startled, and then smiled, "If you don't borrow it, then I have to ask you to spend the rest of your life in this Xiyue Prison." Minghui heard the meaning of his words, and asked, "You mean , as long as I lend your blood, you will let us go."

"you can say it this way."

"Okay, I'll borrow it!" Ming Hui said without hesitation, and now he just wants to get out of this ghostly place quickly.

When the man heard this, he became happy, and ordered outside, "Gao Jibei, bring the things in!"

At this time, a man in a white robe walked in slowly holding a tray in both hands. On the mahogany tray was a small black porcelain jar.The purple-robed man pointed to the black porcelain jar and said to Minghui, "You just need to put your hand in it. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't resist. You have to be bloodletted willingly, and you can't resist at all. All previous efforts have been wasted.”
