share a glass of water with you

Sitting in the lobby was a master, surrounded by dozens of yamen servants.Not to mention Xie Kuang, even several Zhengqing and Shaoqing were not present.However, judging by the situation, it looks like an interrogation is about to start.

Rong Xuan couldn't help feeling a little strange, looking around from left to right.The master sitting on the seat suddenly shouted: "Bold rebel, don't hesitate to bring in the matter of how you colluded with Fanbang."

Rong Xuan was startled: "Your Excellency is asking me."

"Naturally I'm asking you." The Lord Bo said. "You colluded with Li Yuan and killed the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"Kill courtiers?" He has been a little dazed lately.Hearing this suddenly, he was a little surprised. "I don't."

"I know you're going to deny it." Boss sneered from the seat.If there is no real evidence, this official will not take you rashly. "

"I've never done such a thing, where is the real evidence, my lord?" Rong Xuan argued, seeing that Master Bo's expression was determined, he calmed down instead. "Besides collaborating with the enemy, treason, killing courtiers and other major cases. It should be tried by the three divisions. Others have slandered me. You are just a Dali Temple master Bo. How can you try me?"

"If you want to see the evidence, I will give you the evidence." The owner Bo gritted his teeth.He held up a file of letters on the case and saluted Rong Xuan.

He has short-sightedness and short-sightedness.However, he has been in this master's position for many years, and his boss doesn't like it very much.It so happened that someone sent a letter to his home together with a large amount of banknotes, reporting that Rong Xuan had colluded with Li Yuan, sent someone to report the news, and so on.It also includes a book written by Yan Yuan, writing down the second half of the assassination that day on paper.

Master Bo first asked the person who sent the message that day, and it was indeed reported that he was safe.Master Bo thought about it for a long time, and felt that if this matter was verified to be true, it would be a great contribution. This opportunity to make contributions could not be missed, so he sent someone to search the post station secretly, and actually asked him to find a letter plotting rebellion. Xuan handwriting.

This time I was overjoyed, thinking that the prince had already been deprived of military power by the emperor, and was detained in Dali Temple for many days, I thought he would have lost his power a long time ago.Can't stand the instigation of his subordinates.If you can take advantage of Xie Kuang and others' busy investigation, you can bring Rong Xuan to interrogation.What kind of credit would it be to convict him of these crimes.Seriously, Rong Xuan was sent for questioning.

Rong Xuan's words were too thin, and it hit his sore spot, although he didn't dare to ask Rong Xuan to kneel on the spot, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, turned cold and showed Rong Xuan all the evidence.

The conspiratorial letter is almost exactly the same as Rong Xuan's handwriting.Rong Xuan himself was a little bit hard to tell the truth from the fake.

"I haven't written one. Letters can of course be forged."

"What do you mean by asking someone to report peace to Keng Chi?" The Lord Bo said. "Who knows if it's some kind of secret code you agreed upon. If you didn't collude with him, why would you need to report to him? Otherwise, why should he insist on getting married?" All these evidences can prove that he is with Prince Li There is indeed a connection, and Zhu Bo's tone gradually became presumptuous.Speaking of the last sentence, his eyes swept over Rong Xuan's face, it was quite trivial, and he clearly meant something.

Rong Xuan suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and took a step forward.

There was a yamen servant standing beside him, when he saw him move, he reached out to hold his arm.At the point where the strength is too weak, Rong Xuan's arms are sore and weak, and he has no strength at all. Unexpectedly, there are such people hidden in the seemingly ordinary yamen servants.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it was just this person who supported him.

Master Bo didn't know about this change, he saw him approaching, but there was no movement.Just coldly, now that the evidence is solid, you still admitted it early. "

When he opened a confession, it was densely packed and written in advance.

"I was wronged." Rong Xuan said, he couldn't break free from this person's grasp.There was already a thin layer of sweat on the forehead, "You slander me so much, I will never forgive you in the future."

"In the future?" Zhu Bo saw that his eyes were still lingering, and his heart was aroused. "I won't forgive you today!"

He shouted to the hall: "Go to punishment!"

He was only trying to intimidate.The man who was clamping him dragged him and went down the hall. Several yamen servants came and tied him to the pillar.No one can see it.But knowing the virtues that the boss asked for, he took the opportunity to whisper in his ear: "Your Highness, let me give you a soft confession first, someone has already gone to see Mr. Xie, and everything will be decided after Mr. Xie comes back."

"I didn't do it, I was wronged." Rong Xuan said word by word.Seeing the situation in front of him, he knew that if he did not plead guilty, it would be difficult to be kind.But how could he admit to those trumped-up charges. "This king is still a prince, how dare you abuse the punishment like this..." Before he finished speaking, the man had just pulled the thin leather whip and pulled it off.

The leather whip was very ordinary, it hadn't been soaked in water or oil, and it didn't tear the skin or flesh when it was whipped.

However, only Rong Xuan himself knew that the lash of the whip was painful to the marrow of the bone.He gasped for breath for a moment, and had to hold his breath to endure the unexpected pain.

Rong Xuan had only received two whips abruptly, and his mind gradually became dizzy.But he suddenly thought of the little eunuch who had crashed to death in Dali Temple, and was startled.Qiang Zi woke up and opened his eyes to see that the man was expressionless and calm.

This is clearly a style of play intended to put people to death.However, he had never known this person before, and he couldn't think of anyone who would bribe the soldiers.to deal with him like this.

While thinking about it, the man remained calm, and swung two more whips one after another.

"Wait." Rong Xuan blurted out.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and the master coughed.

"I would like to plead guilty." Rong Xuan said.

Master Bo didn't want him to answer so simply, but he couldn't believe it, and was startled.

Someone at the side untied him from the pillar and handed the confession in front of him.

Master Bo saw that he was in good condition, and for some reason, his heart hung back a little bit, seeing that he was honest after only a few whips, and his heart was nothing more than that.

Rong Xuan was already in a cold sweat, he could hardly read the words on the paper in front of him clearly, holding the pen trembling slightly for a long time.

The boss waited impatiently, and urged: "Write quickly."

Rong Xuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were much calmer.Write it down word by word slowly, confessing the crimes that you have never done and will not do in your life. ——I pleaded guilty to unwarranted charges, but there are things that must be told to others.Rong Zhuo, you keep saying you like me and want me to believe you.I believe you this time, can you trust me, trust that I will not do such a thing.Rong Zhuo...

The two words almost consumed most of his courage, and the pen fell from his hand as soon as he finished writing.

Master Bo happily took away the confession.

Rong Xuan was taken down, so of course he didn't go back to the original room this time.Instead, he was taken to prison.Changed into prison clothes.

Yesterday was still full of glory, but today he has become a prisoner. The jailer has seen a lot. He just obeys the orders from above, but he dare not be too strict.Place him in a separate cell.

It was the first time in Rong Xuan's life that he had a taste of a prison cell.Still able to take comfort in thinking that the straw on the ground is still new...

His body was still in burning pain, he sat down in the corner, but only felt cold, and slowly shrank into a ball.

Rong Zhuo...

Xie Kuang never came back, and no one came to see him during the whole day. During that time, the jailer came to deliver a meal, and he sat there in a daze, neither in the mood nor in the appetite to eat.

Until the light of the sky disappeared from the small skylight, and then I don't know how much time passed.Only some noises came from a distance, waking him up from his drowsy mind.

"My lord." The jailer at the side opened the lock, and Xiao Ruan came in with a few guards.

"Xiao Ruan." He leaned against the wall and stood up, trying to force a smile, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but it was full of bitterness.

Xiao Ruan seemed to want to step forward to help him, but stopped hesitantly, lowering her head to avoid his gaze.

"Rong Zhuo..." Rong Xuan saw his eccentricity, and the joy brought by waiting and anticipation faded little by little.Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to calm down and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

"My lord." Xiao Ruan hesitated to speak, but said: "My lord, please accept the order."

Rong Xuan stood for a moment, then knelt down silently.

"It was passed on to the emperor that Prince Su, Rongxuan, secretly communicated with the enemy country..."

Rong Xuan's mind went blank, and after Xiao Ruan finished speaking, he still had an expression of disbelief, and murmured: "I didn't..."

Waiting for such a result.How could he be convicted so easily without a joint trial by the three divisions, or even a confrontation.And it's such a crime.

A little eunuch appeared behind Xiao Ruan, holding a white porcelain wine bottle.Xiao Ruan tremblingly poured out a glass of wine: "The servant sent the prince on his way..."

"I was wronged! I didn't!" Rong Xuan woke up suddenly, yelled loudly, and struggled to get up.The two imperial guards who came with Xiao Ruan had stepped forward to hold him down, but he still shouted: "The emperor can't use such a reason to kill me!"

The two words of bestowing death seemed to have also taken away the strength of Xiao Ruan's whole body, his hands were trembling while holding the cup, at this moment he trembled, and Jiusa and the cup fell to the ground.

"Xiao Ruan..." Rong Xuan struggled to call him, desperate and angry.The guards on the side grabbed his chin, not allowing him to say more.

"Don't worry, my lord." Like a wooden man, Xiao Ruan dared not look at him with downcast eyes.Gathering his mind, he took another cup and poured another, kneeling and serving it in front of Rong Xuan.low voice. "The slave sends the prince respectfully."

Rong Xuan shook his head desperately, he couldn't speak, but his eyes were full of pleading and despair.Xiao Ruan couldn't help but burst into tears, and murmured to ask the prince to rest assured.Still trembling, he handed over the cup.

What if Rong Xuan struggled any longer, the two imperial guards held him tightly.Finally down half a glass of wine.

Xiao Ruan watched tears slowly fall from his eyes, and the light in his eyes faded away little by little.The imperial guard let go of his hand, Rong Xuan slowly slid to the ground and died out of breath.

Xiao Ruan let out a cry, and suddenly stepped back, his second uncle was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground immediately.Staring blankly at the scene in front of him, he was speechless.

"Elder-in-law." A forbidden soldier reached out to help him.

Xiao Ruan gathered himself together, and called a few guards to come in to check, and it was true that he had lost his breath.

But for a moment, the scene was thrilling.The jailer was terrified, but also a little impatient, and wanted to pull Rong Xuan aside on the straw and put it away.

Just pulling up a hand, Xiao Ruan yelled: "Presumptuous!" His voice was already sharp, but now it was raised even higher, which was very scary.

"Everyone has been tested. I have to take it back to my life with the emperor." Xiao Ruan said with a sigh of relief.He took off his cloak and wrapped it carefully.Let the forbidden army come and carry it away.

"This is the person the emperor wants." Seeing their clumsy hands and feet, Xiao Ruan shouted again. "Be careful."

This group of people left, and several jailers hadn't recovered from their fright, when there was a commotion in the corridor, and the two broke in.

"Who?" The prison chief shouted.Recognizing that one of them was none other than Mr. Xie, he looked anxious.Just waved to him.Both of them were not polite to him, so they went in privately.

The jailer had no choice but to follow carefully, and within a few steps, he saw the two people stop in the cell room just now.Facing the empty cell, Rong Zhan almost froze and couldn't move.Xie Kuang couldn't help but gasped.

"My lord..." the jailer poked his head behind the two of them, stammering. "that……"

"Where is the person?" Rong Zhan grabbed the head of the prison, his voice hoarse, almost squeezed out of the hood.His eyes were almost blood red, and he was so ferocious that he seemed to choose someone to devour. "Where's Jiujiu?"

"Ninth Prince..." The jailer was almost suffocated by him. He was afraid that he would lose his life if he was not careful, so he dared not speak directly or not. "Someone came from the palace to deliver an order, saying that Prince Nine colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and killed the ministers of the court... Calm down your anger... These words are not small..."

"My lord!" Xie Kuang quickly went to hold his hand.

Rong Zhan's eyes were fierce, and he stared at him fiercely for a while, but he still threw him away: "And then?"

The jailer hurriedly hid behind Xie Kuang, staying away from Rong Zhan.He finished speaking in one breath: "The emperor gave Jiujiu, and Eunuch Ruan brought back the body of the Ninth Prince and returned to his command."

Xie Kuang took a deep breath in his heart, after all, it was still a step late.Xiang Rong Zhan whispered: "My lord..." However, he didn't know what to say.

"What's that?" Rong Zhan suddenly said in a deep voice.

Xie Kuang followed his gaze and saw a cup rolling in the middle of the cell. The bluestone floor could not penetrate water, and a puddle of wine accumulated on the ground, as clear as a mirror.
