Chapter 22 Boundless Darkness

After closing the stone gate, the guards stepped forward to plead for orders.

Si Yuanting looked at the guards in front of him who bent over and bowed their heads and folded their hands to wait for his instructions, and there was a bit of coldness in his shrill voice, "Did your Majesty remind you when he sent you to Dongchang to work for the Governor?" Ben Du has a bad temper and is not a friendly person."

The guard was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Si Yuanting meant, he hesitated for a moment before replying: "This subordinate is stupid, please tell the supervisor clearly."

"Although Dongchang is directly under His Majesty's orders, most of the people here are brought out by the governor. How many of them are eunuchs who have been cleansed, do you know?" Si Yuanting squinted and his face gradually froze. The guard of the guard, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, said: "You should be loyal to His Majesty, but the governor prefers to use people like him. Since you want to eat two families, you have to make some sacrifices. Today After entering the palace and finishing talking with His Majesty, wash yourself and come back. The governor saw that you look good. Before Prince An came out, he took off the things that should be removed from you. The governor took you as a Boyfriend, from now on you can serve Bendu smoothly, no matter who you want to be loyal to, Bendu will not care."

The guard fell into an ice cave in an instant, knelt down on the ground with a "boom", kowtowed to Si Yuanting and said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, Lord, this subordinate is the only son in the family. Finally, if it is clean, clean..."

"The governor sees that you don't want to live anymore, right?" Si Yuan stepped on the guard's shoulder, condescendingly looked down at the guard who was expressionless a moment ago but now was frightened, and said in a slow voice: "When you enter the palace, your life belongs to His Majesty. If you enter Dongchang, your body belongs to the governor. If you talk nonsense, go home and collect the corpses of your parents. If the governor wants you, it's not your turn to refuse." .”

"Master, please forgive me, my subordinates cannot become eunuchs, after this subordinate..." The guard turned pale and hugged Si Yuanting's feet to beg for mercy, but was kicked away by Si Yuanting, and his body was kicked away Hitting the stone door of the interrogation room, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Si Yuanting first glanced at his foot that had been hugged in disgust, then turned his gaze to another Dongchang guard who stood motionless at the side, and that guard immediately stepped forward to hold down the traitor who was struggling to get up and continue begging for mercy The colleague covered his mouth with one hand, kept his eyes on Si Yuanting's feet, and respectfully said: "Master, please order."

"This governor, Dongchang, is not the only one who wants to answer his majesty behind his back. Since he doesn't want to go to the palace to answer his majesty, he should take him to cleanse himself. Remember to explain clearly to the master who used the knife. I have to pick it clean and leave nothing behind; I will send it to the darkroom tonight when I am done, and I have not trained anyone for a long time, so I feel itchy." Si Yuanting's eyes looked like he was looking at an ant, without any emotion, He doesn't mind Chu Yuelei putting unclean mice in the East Factory, but he can't tolerate the mice running around him wantonly. The purpose of killing chickens and monkeys this time is to let the mice in the East Factory know that his site can only be controlled according to his rules At most, Chu Yuelei has the right to know. If you want to rely on surveillance to figure out his actions and decisions to claim credit for Chu Yuelei, the end will not be better than those prisoners in the Dongchang prison, and don't think about him. He would be afraid that Chu Yuelei would pursue him, but he had his own way of dealing with Chu Yuelei.

"Yes, Lord."

"Fang Zhili's case, after yesterday, it is impossible to close the case according to His Majesty's wishes. The head of the Ministry of Rites has come to Ben Du's East Factory to sue the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. It is also time for the Ministry of Rites to investigate carefully. Send an order, Fang Ben and all the things he has done since he became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, including the Minister of the Ministry of Rites under him, the Secretary of the Siqing Officials, Yuanwai Lang, and the principal, etc., have been carefully checked by the governor. The governor must know, What nasty things did Fang Ben and the Ministry of Rites do under the noses of His Majesty and Ben Du?" After Si Yuanting explained, he looked at Jiang Sheng who was calm as usual in the interrogation room, and finally confessed: " Let Jiang Sheng write the complaint and submit it to the governor later, reminding him to distinguish between what should be written in the complaint and what should be used as a confession."

"Your subordinate takes orders." The guard who was born as an eunuch took Si Yuanting's orders, and after Si Yuanting left the interrogation office, he knocked out the traitor who was suppressed by him with a hand knife, and dragged him to work.

When Si Yuanting returned to his stone room, Huangfu had already been waiting at the door of the stone room for a long time.

"Supervisor." Huangfu bowed to Si Yuanting and asked, "Prince An?"

"It's locked in the interrogation room, and I can't get out for a while." Si Yuanting didn't know what to think, and sneered: "Our Majesty put a lot of rats in Ben Du's East Factory, and these rats are of no other use. , but is particularly good at reporting to His Majesty."

Huangfu understood, and said: "Master, please rest assured, everything has been prepared, and Prince An will not be locked up inside for too long."

"Before the sun goes down tomorrow." Si Yuanting opened the door of the stone room, and after giving the order, he stopped looking at his dead waiter and went in with a cold face.

He couldn't let Chu Yuezhi be locked in there for too long. Chu Yuezhi was stunned by unruly people because of the harem dispute when he was young, and then he was put into an empty vat. When he finally found it, Chu Yuezhi Already crying inside, Chu Yuezhi became extremely afraid of the dark and narrow space since then.It is a last resort to let Chu Yuezhi be locked in the interrogation room now, and he has to do all the tricks so that Chu Yuelei can rest assured of him.He doesn't know how long Chu Yuezhi can stay in that kind of dark secret room now. If they want to play this scene for real, it will definitely not be short. He is only worried about whether Chu Yuezhi can hold it in the interrogation room. , after all, it was a torment that ordinary people could hardly endure.

Huangfu naturally understood Si Yuanting's thoughts, and did what he should do without delay.

He knocked on the stone wall behind him, touched the ground again, and saw that everything was icy cold; when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, it was dark, and the interrogation room, which completely cut off the sound, almost gave him the illusion that he was deaf.

Chu Yuezhi pressed his back against the wall, and never moved his position.

During these years of fighting abroad, he has somewhat overcome the psychological barrier of being afraid of the dark before, but this is not the same as being locked in the silent darkness, and he does not know how long he can last in this interrogation room.

Regarding the matter of locking him in the interrogation room, he knew in his heart that even if Chu Yuelei did not directly instruct him, it was for Chu Yuelei to see. There are not many people in this world who know that he is afraid of the dark and of being locked up. Yue Lei is one of them.Probably Chu Yuelei also knows that the people who have stayed in the barracks are tough, not to mention that he, the former general who commanded the army, is more effective than ordinary punishments, and this kind of psychological and spiritual torture is more effective. Lei is afraid that he can't wait to see him collapse, and it's best to see him being tortured crazy.

He had been prepared for a long time, and he was sure that he would be invited to Dongchang to be "entertained" by Haosheng, but he did not expect at first that he would have to go through this kind of bloodless but more tortured interrogation.

Fang Zhili's death was just an introduction. The real target from the very beginning was Fang Ben and the Ministry of Rites. Involving himself in the case was originally part of his plan. He never mentioned anything about himself to Si Yuanting beforehand. The plan was, firstly, to prevent Chu Yuelei from doubting Si Yuanting, and secondly, he didn't bet all of himself on Si Yuanting.It is best if Si Yuanting can cooperate with him, if not, he has other arrangements.

The main purpose of making himself a person involved in the case is to make Chu Yuelei order a thorough investigation of the case.In the past three years, he has never made any mistakes. Even if Chu Yuelei wanted to attack him, he couldn't find a reason. The more Lei Lei would be overjoyed, he would shoot without thinking.

In this case, no matter whether it was investigated by Si Yuanting or not, he was sure that he could see Fang Benhe was pulled down innocently, and then clean up the dirt accumulated by the Ministry of Rites in the past ten years.

He made himself a target at the beginning of the first case, and made Chu Yuelei order a thorough investigation only to move him without thinking about other things. Once a thorough investigation will only involve more and more Fangben and others The crimes committed in these years, and by the way Fang Ben and those unclean officials under him; If you want to make big things into small things, the common people will not accept it.

People's attention can easily be diverted, so it doesn't matter who killed Fang Zhili, what matters is the case involved later.

Jiang Sheng is also being imprisoned now, and Si Yuanting will definitely order an in-depth investigation. After Jiang Sheng submits the indictment, he will make up a confession that Fang Benhe had to make some shady things for him. , this already torn hole will be torn wider and wider, and more people will be involved. In the end, even if Chu Yuelei is unwilling, the Ministry of Rites must be reshuffled.

As for himself, except that he invited Fang Zhili to go to Yunnifang at the beginning, everything else has nothing to do with him directly. He didn't even have a drop of blood on his hands. Yuan Ting has an extraordinary relationship with him, and the deeper the case is investigated, the cleaner he will be. Not only can Chu Yuelei fail to send him to prison as he wished, but he will also lose the Fangben and the Ministry of Rites that he brought up with him.

So far, everything is within his arrangements and plans.

However, being locked up in this lightless and silent interrogation room was indeed an extremely painful torment for him.

He had already lost his perception of time, and he couldn't clearly judge how long he had been locked up. He could only clearly feel that he was sweating coldly, and as his body gradually lost temperature, his breathing gradually became a little difficult.The longer he stayed in the deadly darkness, the harder it was to keep calm. In fact, what was scary was not the darkness, but not knowing how long he would stay in such darkness, and not knowing whether someone would come to rescue him.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to find the door of the interrogation room and let him out, but he couldn't, no matter how frightened he was, he had to hold back.

He can vaguely remember the accident when he was a child. He was rescued by someone in the end, but he has no impression of who the person who saved him was. Cuddled in a warm embrace.

He has given up counting in his heart, and now he doesn't know whether he can persist until Si Yuanting releases him, and he is also afraid that he will show any gaffe.

The warmth that Si Yuanting left on his lips had long since disappeared, and he even began to doubt whether those hickey marks on his shoulders and neck were still there.

Trembling uncontrollably, Chu Yuezhi wrapped his arms around himself, raised his head and opened his mouth to breathe, trying to ignore his violent heartbeat.

It doesn't matter, he can bear it, and he doesn't feel afraid, Si Yuanting will definitely come to pick him up, and won't abandon him in the boundless darkness.
