The phoenix pattern is surging

[Xiping border city Juliang]

Su Mo laughed, rubbed his brows and eyes, and said: "You will die sooner or later, I want to hear, what other tricks can you make up?"

"Your Majesty? This person has ulterior motives, don't-"

Gong Huaian's face was disturbed, Su Mo waved two fingers out to signal him to keep silent, then turned to look at the man whose hands and feet were bound, and said, "Speak."

Ji Wen was silent, and glanced at Gong Huai'an who was waiting at the side. Su Mo turned his head and gave his valet a wink.

Su Mo leaned back on the chair, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"Is it okay to say so?"

Ji Wenren approached two steps, stood still five or six steps away from the desk, and said in a low voice: "Six years ago, the Liu family was convicted of selling black sand mines. Your Majesty knows that if someone did not interfere, Mr. Liu Could it have been escaped?"

Su Mo's expression was shocked, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and said sinisterly, "What do you want to say?"

Judging by the expression, it is obvious that he is very disbelieving.

Ji Wenren lowered his eyes and smiled knowingly, and lowered his voice even more: "You probably forgot that this old man is... the imperial concubine's close minister, there are some things that others don't know, but I understand somewhat, especially... about Mr. Liu's affairs. "

He had a deep meaning on his face, Su Mo narrowed his eyes and looked over, as if he wanted to see all the truth and lies from the prisoner's eyes, the inner tide was already raging, and at last he restrained himself, using the most calm expression Asked in a tone: "Is that what you want to say?"

Ji Wenren chuckled, and said: "It doesn't matter if your Majesty doesn't believe it, the so-called people who are about to die speak good words, the old man already has the heart to die, so there is no need to do anything extra, but His Majesty's knot is still unsolved for a day, probably not Are you at ease?"

Su Mo was silent, stared at him for a long while, and finally sighed with emotion: "You are really not an ordinary character, no wonder you can hide in my Xiping for many years. Jiang Jue is willing to part with it. Weigh it."

"Hehe, I understand His Majesty's heart. In this case, I might as well send you a few more words--Nanliu Liu's family is actually the family of Qingyuan Quzhuren. Mr. Liu is an infatuated person, but since the servant has two hearts, how can the king do it?" Again? You are in a high position, so you must understand the truth better than this one."

As soon as these words were said, there was a loud bang, and the Fengchi inkstone on the table was knocked into pieces immediately, and the cinnabar was scattered all over the ground. I don't know if it's cinnabar or blood.

After a long silence, only the emperor said coldly: "You should understand that the end of lying to me will be more painful than death! Death is actually not terrible."

Ji Wenren smiled indifferently, and said: "People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, everyone knows the truth, why don't your majesty think about it?"

He looked arrogant, but he saw Su Mo's eyes hardened, and he shouted, and soon two soldiers obeyed the order, and the emperor stood behind the case with a blank face, and said in a deep voice: "Take it down! Take it well! Torture! I want to see how hard this old bone can be?"

Ji Wenren bowed his head and said nothing more, his eyes were full of thoughts.

When Gong Huai'an came in again, Su Mo was standing by the desk with his hands behind his back, staring at the cinnabar on the ground in a daze.

Seeing the situation inside, Gong Huai'an was shocked. He was about to go to check the emperor's injury, but Su Mo stretched out his hand to signal him not to go forward. He looked at an unknown place and murmured: " Under the Nine Springs in the future, what face will I have to see you again?"

Gong Huai'an went in without knowing, so he had to wait by the side with a cautious face. After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing."

Su Mo shouldn't, after a long silence, he asked strangely: "How much do you know about the imperial concubine?"

Gong Huai'an was startled suddenly, knelt down and cowardly said: "This servant doesn't understand what His Majesty means."

"I just asked casually, what are you afraid of?"

Su Mo sneered, Gong Huai'an saw his strange and unpredictable expression, thought for a moment, and said: "This old servant has served His Majesty for many years, and he would never dare to do anything to offend His Majesty."

Su Mo glanced at him lightly, with disdain on his face.

"That's the best! Remember, your master is me!" At the end, he snorted coldly, and said, "I don't want to create more quarrels with her, and let her take care of herself. If she really did something, it's better to do it honestly."

"Send this word to her verbatim!"

Gong Huai An Nuonuo complied, feeling uneasy all the time, not knowing what the Beiye spy had said, which provoked the emperor to turn his anger on the one in the palace.

[Danfeng Capital City Linyang]

The migration to Hua County is just the beginning, and there are many follow-up matters.

Jiang Jue was reading the brochure that Meng Zhaokun handed over, when Ding Shun came in with Qu Lie, after entering the hall, after a brief salute, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Ji Wenren has been arrested."

Jiang Jue was visibly shocked, and said, "When did it happen?"

"I just received a report from the spies, saying that I was escorted to Juliang today."

"Has anyone been sent to rescue?"

"Sent, but there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Juliang City. I heard that Yin Qian has arrived here a few days ago, so I dare not act rashly."

Jiang Jue got up, stomped a few times after the case, stared at the temple and thought for a while, and said: "He has been hiding in Xiping for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. To be rescued."

Qu Lie frowned slightly, and said: "With the lesson from last time, Yin Qian will definitely take extra precautions. I'm afraid the rescue will not go smoothly."

These words are very reasonable, Jiang Jue nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then exchange it with someone."

"What does your majesty mean?"

Qu Lie looked over in surprise, Jiang Jue thought it over and said, "He is a rare talent, and he will be useful in the future. As for the Liu family boy, he deserves to die."

Hearing the tone of these words, he was faintly unwilling, Qu Lie nodded clearly, and said: "I also think so, because I am not sure what your majesty is thinking, so I am here to ask for instructions."

With a calm face on his face, Jiang Jue sighed secretly, beckoning him to do it immediately, and then left the booklet and went to the apse.

When he entered the hall, Li Ran was drinking the soup with a painful face, and the old mother was beside him, with an encouraging look in her eyes.

The old man saw the figure of the emperor out of the corner of his eye, hurriedly lowered his body and saluted, Jiang Jue waved his hand to signal her not to do so, and asked as he walked, "How's your appetite today?"

Li Ran didn't say a word, and the old mother joked: "It's fine after drinking half a cup of black chicken soup, it's very rare."

When Jiang Jue heard it, there was a big smile in his eyes, and he teased: "It is worthy of praise."

After finishing speaking, he pulled a stool and sat down beside Li Ran, shook his arm, looked at the old mother and said, "It's true that many of them have been raised, and you have contributed a lot."

Received such praise from him, the old mother immediately bowed to thank her.

Li Ran drank the last sip of soup with a face of indifference, then pushed the bowl away, looked up, and suddenly saw that the troubled look in Jiang Jue's eyes flashed away, so he quietly gestured to the old man, the old man After seeing it, he immediately packed up the bowls and left.

Li Ran glanced at the person beside him, and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Jue remained silent, leaned over and took a sip of the grape juice in his hand, trying to make excuses, Li Ran frowned slightly, and said, "Speak up if you have something on your mind."

"Did you see it again?"

The other party looked surprised, Li Ran only glanced at him lightly, and said, "What are the eyes for?"

"So obvious?"

"Not necessarily, you won't find it if you don't look carefully."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Jue sighed in a deep voice, and said, "It seems that it is better for me to be frank and lenient in the future."

"You can think so."

When he got to this point, Jiang Jue didn't dare to say anything, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Ji Wenren had an accident, and Qu Lie came to discuss rescue with me just now, but you don't need to worry about this matter, I He will definitely be rescued."

Li Ran's expression froze, and he frowned and asked, "How to save?"

Jiang Jue hugged his right hand tightly and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have a solution."

He looked determined, and Li Ran half disagreed and half sadly shook his head, saying: "With Su Mo's personality, he will definitely not survive."

"I have already figured this out, so I specially prepared a generous gift for him. I believe there will be news in the near future."

"Big gift?"

Li Ran was puzzled, Jiang Jue's eyes turned cold, and he retracted them again, perhaps because he was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, so he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, he has hostages in his hands, so I naturally have them."

"What hostage?"

Li Ran stared at him with a lingering expression, Jiang Jue laughed and said, "Why do you act like you are facing an enemy?"

"I'm worried about old man Ji, I hope the old man will not be too stubborn and can do as I taught him."

Although this sentence was said lightly, Jiang Jue got close and listened to it accurately, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you tell him?"

Li Ran thought for a while, and said, "Su Mo must be very interested in bows and crossbows in the first battle at the customs. I mentioned the tricks of this thing to the old man before, so that he would keep half of it when he had to. In this way, Su Mo Mo couldn't bear to touch him for a moment."

He looked calm, but Jiang Jue just wanted to sigh, thinking to himself that fortunately that person is from Ji Wen, if someone with a loose jaw is replaced, there must be a big mistake.

Zheng was distressed, but he heard Li Ran ask: "You haven't said who the hostage is?"

Jiang Jue didn't answer, but said seriously, "Guess?"
