Xiao Hongyin was hugged, her body trembling slightly, as if a frightened little beast suddenly felt a bit of warmth, subconsciously shrank into He Yanzhi's arms.

Now that the maple leaves are turning red, Xiao Hongyin is only wearing a thin and tattered prison uniform. It is certain that it will be cold, so He Yanzhi didn't feel anything, and walked unhurriedly, passing a corner to the execution room.

Where he couldn't see, Xiao Hongyin's originally pure eyes were covered with a layer of shadows. He was quietly hugged by someone, but his eyes fell on every road he walked.

Just before a stick of incense, he collapsed in the hall. He hadn't recovered from the pain of being pierced by a sword. In the darkness, he felt someone pulling himself. He opened his eyes impatiently. The first thing he saw was still He Yanzhi's face.

He subconsciously moved his upper body. Although the injury on his chest was painful, it only remained on the flesh, Xiao Hongyin couldn't help being a little surprised.

He raised his head to look around, and the "Fair and Bright" plaque in front of him made him fall into a trance.

This……

After scanning every detail in front of the hall, he gradually understood one thing - he was reborn back to the time when he was 15 years old.

That year, an accident occurred in the Xiao family, and his parents were killed in prison. He was sent to Xizhou by his parents to seek refuge, but he was mistaken for hiding evidence of crimes here, and was sent to the prison of Xizhou Mansion, where he was sentenced to death every day to extract confessions.

When he was promoted to the hall, he was tortured to the brink of death. After being tortured with a stick, he almost passed out in the execution room. Who knew that he survived after being thrown into a mass grave. At that time, he vowed to make everyone pay the price.

However, not long after, he met He Yu, the unfavored king of Xizhou, and proposed to join hands with him to overthrow the faint king and kill the enemy with his hands. Xiao Hongyin agreed, and after ten years of hard work, who would have thought that in the end, he would recognize the thief as his father, not only failed to kill He Yu to take revenge , and he randomly sent someone to pierce his heart with a sword.

The memory of the previous life flooded the consciousness like a tidal wave, Xiao Hongyin lost strength again and fell down, and was supported by He Yanzhi in time.

There seemed to be a gust of wind whistling in his ears, after Xiao Hongyin regained his composure, he secretly cast a glance at He Yanzhi.

Oh, this face really hasn't changed at all.

He still remembered that on the city wall, He Yanzhi held He Yu's military order in his hand, read out every word of the execution, pushed everyone away, and said "go well" expressionlessly to him who was powerless to fight back, and then used jade The scale sword pierced his heart without hesitation.

The feeling of being killed was not very good, Xiao Hongyin silently withdrew his gaze, repeating the name silently in his heart.

He Yanzhi, you gave me a ride in the previous life, and now I'm living a new life, He Yu's debt, let's ask for it from you first.

He looked down at his young body, the most important thing right now was to keep himself alive.

The magistrate in the hall is still chattering, but it is just to force him to confess the trumped-up evidence.

Xiao Hongyin was too lazy to argue with others, so he only replied four words, and threw down the token.

If he could escape the cane punishment, he would not have to spend time dying in the mass grave.

"Can you go?"

He Yanzhi walked up to him at some point, still with that expressionless face.

In his previous life, Xiao Hongyin didn't notice that the servant who executed the punishment was He Yanzhi. Facing this ruthless character who killed and attacked decisively, he didn't know what method to use to escape.

Xiao Hongyin didn't speak, and stood up by himself.

He Yanzhi doesn't know himself yet, let's try to see how he can react.

So he walked slowly on purpose, fell down on purpose, and refused his help on purpose, and was finally taken to the torture room by him unexpectedly.

After some probing, Xiao Hongyin found that He Yanzhi seemed to be very tolerant of her current state, so she set her goal - to win He Yanzhi's sympathy as soon as possible while He Yanzhi didn't recognize her.

He Yanzhi placed him on the bench in the middle of the execution room.

It is said to be a torture room, but it is actually just a utility room full of instruments of torture.There should have been four yamen guards inside and outside, but because of He Yanzhi's management, there are only him and Xiao Hongyin in the empty room.

"You know what to do." After He Yanzhi finished speaking, he turned around to fetch the board.

Xiao Hongyin stared at his back and didn't move. When He Yanzhi walked up to him with the board, the young man knelt down in front of him with a "plop" without warning, and raised his hand to untie the belt of his prison uniform.

He Yanzhi was stunned, not understanding what he was going to do.

The slender fingers hooked the rough rope, and with a light tug, the whole skirt fell down, revealing the blood-stained breasts inside.

There was not much blood to seep into the deep red bloodstains, and the pink and white flesh was like a blooming peach blossom, blooming in full bloom on the thin body.

He Yanzhi thought to himself, does this kid want to seduce?

In the past, it was not that there were no prisoners who wanted to take the opportunity to avoid punishment, but it was a pity that I had never been interested in these things.

But he still asked, "What do you mean, young master?"

Xiao Hongyin didn't speak, and stretched his right hand to a wound below the collarbone, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind, he forcefully peeled off the sticky flesh, and took out a small jade pendant from inside.

The lower lip was bitten by him, bleeding out, as if a red orb had fallen.

"This is the legacy of my parents... I beg your lord to hold me high and save my life."

He wiped the jade pendant carefully with his sleeves, and handed it to He Yanzhi with both hands, his thin body trembling even more due to the pain.

He Yanzhi looked at him, then at Yupei, but didn't react much.

"Young master, why do you say that? The villain is just doing things impartially."

Although he said so, when Xiao Hongyin looked at him with red and moist eyes, the silver in his arms suddenly became a little hot.

The employer gave him a full 100 taels of silver to pay for his life. If this kid is spared, will he continue to do business in the future.

Xiao Hongyin didn't answer, just knelt quietly.

Time passed by every minute and every second. According to the rules, no one should be executed for more than half an hour. If He Yanzhi allowed him to spend it like this, then he would not even think about walking out of the Yamen intact.

He Yanzhi knocked on the ground with the board impatiently, but Xiao Hongyin still refused to get up from the ground, and kept the posture just now, motionless, as if determined to spend eternity with him.

There was a moment of silence in the execution room.

The young man knelt on the ground, and He Yanzhi stood in front of him, and the two of them were deadlocked for nearly a stick of incense, until He Yanzhi couldn't stand the soreness in his neck, and looked up at the door.

The mulberry trees planted outside the yamen have not shed all their branches and leaves. The cool wind blows the branches and blows away the overlapping leaves. In the bird's nest that has lost its shelter, the young birds are huddled under the warm wings of their mothers, fluttering comfortably. .

After the soreness eased, He Yanzhi turned his eyes back to the boy.The narrow and thin back was straightened as much as possible, and Xiao Hongyin kept this posture without moving at all.

"It's your fate."

He Yanzhi put away the board and waved to the person kneeling on the ground.

He is not soft-hearted, the story is just beginning now, and the left and right villains still have a chance to live, so it is better to be a favor and let him go.

After all, the employer will not come to ask him to refund the money. 100 taels is enough for him to spend a long time. As for the reputation, it is better to avoid the limelight.

He Yanzhi could think about it, but Xiao Hongyin, who had succeeded in his plan, looked at his relaxed back, but was a little puzzled.

It all went too smoothly.

"Thank you, sir, and please accept the jade pendant."

He stretched his arms, and presented the jade pendant to He Yanzhi, who didn't even look at it, and just replied, "Keep it for yourself."

The boy stood there, a little dazed.

"Come here." He Yanzhi asked Xiao Hongyin to smear some blood on the board, and pointed to the corner: "The cart over there, lie on it for a while, I don't need me to teach you to pretend to be dead."

Xiao Hongyin nodded bluntly, took the jade pendant back after hesitating for a while, and lay down on the cart silently.

He Yanzhi looked at the door of the punishment room, secretly counting the time.

Normally, with five boards, he could send a nine-foot strong man to see Hades, and with a little cover-up, he could basically transport the corpse out after a moment.

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and Yang Kuan's loud voice was particularly prominent among them.

Hurry up and get on duty, it's almost time.

He Yanzhi turned around, someone was looking at him with a pair of round eyes, but when he looked over, those eyes closed again in panic.

He Yanzhi pulled a piece of white cloth, covered Xiao Hongyin completely, and immediately transported him out of the execution room.

When he left, he happened to bump into Yang Kuan, and the rest of the arresters bypassed them one after another.

Seeing him pushing a corpse transport cart, Yang Kuan's expression immediately changed, his little finger pointed at Bai Bu and said, "Brother He, the one inside...isn't that young master?!"

He Yanzhi nodded.

Yang Kuan immediately became nervous: "Do you know what your lord means?"

He Yanzhi said lightly: "Stay."

"Then you still have such a heavy hand!" Yang Kuan opened his voice in a hurry, but luckily no one was passing by, so he leaned into He Yanzhi's ear and whispered: "For some money, you don't even want your job! "

He Yanzhi cast a glance at him and stretched out a finger.

"Ten taels? 100 taels?!"

Yang Kuan swallowed and stopped talking.

He Yanzhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to cake tomorrow."

Yang Kuan sighed, waved his hand and left. After all, he had received his favor, so he had the right to pretend he didn't see what happened today.

After he left, He Yanzhi pushed the car out of the Yamen all the way to the mass grave.

The process was very smooth, thanks to the employer who helped him arrange the outside.

After Xiao Hongyin got off the cart, He Yanzhi found another corpse similar to his figure from the back of the cart.

This was prepared by him before, so that when the villain crawled away by himself, the employer didn't see anyone when he came to check, but instead came to trouble him.

After throwing the corpse into the pit, He Yanzhi threw a piece of silver to Xiao Hongyin, and pushed the cart back.

"grown ups?"

Xiao Hongyin looked around, but did not find any ambush.

Just throw yourself down?

Xiao Hongyin pinched the silver in his hand, and another thought came to his mind.

He Yanzhi naturally heard him calling himself, but he didn't intend to turn around.

You have to know that he is wearing the power and strategy, scheming, and the officialdom is ups and downs. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. He has lived enough of this kind of life on the tip of a knife in his previous life, and he doesn't want to involve too much with others. Now he just wants to hurry up He got rid of the poison on his body and lived an ordinary life away from the main line.

He strode away from the mass grave, and he had to walk through a small forest before leaving the yamen.

It was getting late, and there was only the rustling of leaves in the forest.

The wheels ran over the dead leaves, He Yanzhi deliberately slowed down his steps, and the people behind him also slowed down.

Xiao Hongyin silently followed behind He Yanzhi, keeping a distance of one foot from him.

The people in front obviously sensed his movements, but they didn't even intend to turn around.

Really hard hearted.

The grove soon came to an end, just when Xiao Hongyin thought he was going to follow He Yanzhi back to the yamen, He Yanzhi turned his head, walked in front of him with a frown, and was about to speak when Xiao Hongyin took a step ahead of him, holding the silver in both hands and holding it out in front of him .

He Yanzhi was obviously taken aback, and there was a trace of strange emotion in his eyes looking at Xiao Hongyin.

Xiao Hongyin just stretched out his hands and didn't speak, his head was lowered, but he unconsciously raised his eyes to see his expression, his whole body seemed very nervous.

"Thank you for your kindness... I, I can't accept it..."

The more the boy spoke, his voice became softer, as if He Yanzhi had bullied him.

He Yanzhi took the money, and the young man turned around and left.

Watching the thin figure gradually being swallowed by the dark forest, He Yanzhi suddenly called out to him: "If you have nowhere to go, little master, I can take you in temporarily."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongyin opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at him, but He Yanzhi avoided his gaze.

"After the injury is recovered, please leave, young master." He asked the young man to wait here, and then walked to the yamen.
