The evil first wife who wears a book, and the future first assistant wants to kill me every day

"no!"

Yun Zhen flatly rejected Yun Wei, "My father knows that you and he have been in a good relationship recently, but Wei'er, you have to be more sensible. He committed the capital crime of collaborating with the enemy. Logically speaking, the nine tribes should be punished."

"In order to protect you, my father spent a lot of time in front of the emperor. You must not get involved anymore."

Yunwei knew her father's worries, but now all kinds of questions could not be answered without seeing Gu Changling.

He pinched his thigh, tears welling up in his eyes, "You asked me to live a good life with him, so I fell in love with him. He is about to die, and my daughter will be a widow in the future, but now I can't even hear a word from him... "

"Dad, I just want to see him once. Before I die, at least let me say goodbye to him..."

The daughter was crying pitifully, but Yun Zhen still relented, "Don't cry, I will arrange it for you once, but remember, don't stay too long, and don't ask him too much about the Japanese pirates."

The less you know, the safer you are.

"Yeah, okay, my daughter just saw him for the last time and thought about it."

Yunwei wiped her tears and acted obediently.

Yun Zhen sighed, if he had known that Gu Changling was so confused and would collaborate with the enemy, he would never have married Wei'er to him.

It's too late to regret now. I hope Wei'er gives up and starts over.

"Wait for my news at home."

……

Yun Zhen made arrangements very quickly. That night, he asked Yun Wei to disguise himself as a jailer and follow the deputy judge into the prison.

The prison was dark and gloomy, with candles as thick as arms burning on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the plaster walls with obvious mottled stains and blood marks.

The wind blew in through the narrow window, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of mold penetrated into the lungs.

From the cells on both sides, bursts of mourning could be heard. Further on, passing by the torture rack, someone was being tortured.

The hot iron was burned on the skin, and the smell of burning flesh and screams exploded in the prison, making Yun Wei tremble.

The scene in front of me is real, far more eye-catching than the scenes on TV.

The deputy judge was Yun Zhen's former subordinate, and Yun Wei called her Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu was very easy-going and told her not to read too much, otherwise she would be too scared to sleep at night.

Yun Wei forced a smile, but felt worried in her heart.

I wonder if Gu Changling will be tortured?

People who committed serious crimes were usually imprisoned in dungeons to prevent robbers.

In the dungeon, Gu Changling was hung up by his hands, his hair was messy, he was in a mess, and he was covered in blood, but his expression showed no pain.

Qingxiao, the torture officer, whipped the whip to the wooden stake nearby and asked loudly: "Tell me, who are your other accomplices?"

But in private, he whispered: "The first boy who found the envelope and handed it over accidentally fell into the lake and drowned in the afternoon."

"The person who saw you going to Kongming Mountain that day was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell unconscious."

"The two Japanese pirate corpses found were rotten and completely disfigured. Nothing could be found at all. We can only judge from the clothing and accessories that they were commonly worn by Japanese people."

All favorable evidence is quickly disappearing.

Gu Changling actually had no clue who was the designer of this incident.

Qin Xiao flicked the whip again and asked, "Sir, maybe you can think of someone who you have offended recently?"

Gu Changling shook his head. On the day he was imprisoned, he went through all the people who were unhappy with him. He really couldn't think of anyone who would go to such trouble to frame him.

Qing Xiao lowered his voice and asked: "Could it be the prince? Didn't the mask fall off on the day when the gentleman escaped? Are you sure his face was not seen?"

Gu Changling was silent. The mask fell off while escaping, not in front of him. It should not have been discovered.

But at the moment, except for the prince's ability, he can't think of anyone else.

"Pay attention to the prince's movements, and check Qi Yu."

If we talk about offending people, only Qi Yu has been offended the most recently.

"Don't worry, sir, His Highness is already investigating."

"But time is too tight..." Qin Xiao hesitated, "Sir was framed this time, and there is very little supporting evidence. If no evidence can be found in the end to excuse him, His Highness will ask his subordinates to inform you. I can only It’s a last resort.”

Lu Xingchuan still couldn't bear to lose a strategist like Gu Changling, so in the end, he had no choice but to trade the civet cat for the prince, find someone to disguise himself as a gentleman, and secretly save his life.

Gu Changling frowned, "Wait and see."

He didn't want to get to this point just in case.

If he is really charged with treason and collaborating with the enemy, even if King Qi ascends the throne in the future and clears his name, he will still be infamy for all eternity.

He thought of another thing, "Didn't His Highness send someone to clean up Kongming Mountain in detail that day?"

Qin Xiao cracked the whip again, swore a few harsh words, and lowered his voice: "Yes, sir, you sent a message that day to carefully inspect the corpses. His Highness specially processed all the corpses together."

The Japanese pirates behind seemed to have been sent up by someone thoughtful.

Gu Changling said: "Let Your Highness try to save the bodies of the two Japanese pirates first and see if we can find any clues from their characteristics."

"it is good."

"Also, let His Highness check..."

"Check who?"

The husband suddenly stopped talking. Qin Xiao had a look of doubt on her face. Just as she was about to get closer, she looked at the husband's eyes and signaled: Someone is coming.

Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, offended, sir.

When Yun Wei followed the deputy prosecutor down, she heard the sound of a sharp whip, followed by a voice asking: "Tell me, who are your other accomplices? If you don't tell me, I will destroy your arm!" "

"I have no accomplices...I was framed..."

Gu Changling's voice was intermittent, as if he was extremely weak.

Yunwei was startled and took two steps forward suddenly. She saw at a glance that Gu Changling was also hanging on the torture rack, with his hands hung up and covered in blood, and the person with the whip was whipping him continuously.

He is still injured.

Yun Wei subconsciously wanted to scold him, but remembered her father's instructions and held it back, looking at Uncle Wu as if asking for help.

Uncle Wu frowned and scolded: "Who allowed you to torture me here?"

Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Go back to Master Wu. Under the orders of the presiding judge, my subordinates will torture the prisoner severely."

Yun Wei knew that she would not be able to come out intact after being imprisoned, but she secretly thought that King Qi would intervene and at least temporarily protect Gu Changling from physical pain.

I didn't expect King Qi to be so useless, he couldn't save this.

He obeyed the order openly, and Mr. Wu couldn't say anything. He just said: "Okay, I will interrogate the rest."

"Yes, my lord."

Qin Xiao threw away his whip and left with two pawns.

When passing by Yun Wei, I glanced at her.

When the others were completely out of sight, Yunwei rushed over and untied Gu Changling's wrist, "Gu Changling, how are you?"

As soon as her wrist was loosened, Gu Changling leaned on her shoulder and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

Uncle Wu was still here, so Yunwei could only say: "I'm worried about you, and asked my father to send me in to see you for the last time."

Uncle Wu knew that the young couple had something to say, so he warned: "Don't leave two sticks of incense for a long time."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

As soon as they left, Yun Wei helped him to the single cell and hurriedly poured him a glass of water, "Gu Changling, drink some water quickly."

His snow-white shirt was stained with large blood stains.

His lips were also dry, as if he hadn't drank any water since he entered the cell.
