Zhang Liang and Han Fei, two people who never touched the spring water with their ten fingers, lit the fire and carried the water, cleaned the pot and chopped firewood. After working for a long time, the water in the pot finally boiled.

Jiang Si's hands and feet are inconvenient, and he probably doesn't drink much hot water on weekdays. After Han Fei cooked it, he also filled a bowl for him, held it on his wrist, and drank very satisfyingly.

After drinking a bowl of water, Han Fei didn't ask a word. Rao Zhang Liang was a little anxious, and tried his best to wink at him.

After a while, Han Fei finally had a reaction.He smiled knowingly, put down the bowl slowly, took out a gleaming silver ingot from his pocket, and put it in front of Jiang Si.

"As I said before, I have to settle the water money for you."

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, since he left the Han Palace, he had never seen such a large amount of silver, so he said indifferently: "I have no money to find you."

"No need to give change. Your bowl of water is undoubtedly the charcoal in the snow for the two of us, and the lamp in the dark room. It is worthwhile."

Jiang Si's eyes dimmed, "This piece of silver is enough to buy a mansion in the town, but you use it to buy a bowl of water?"

Han Fei nodded and said, "Water itself is worthless, but the nectar during a long drought is not worth a thousand dollars."

Jiang Si stared at the piece of silver, feeling itchy in his heart, secretly swallowed, "You can drink the rest of the water as you like, or you can take whatever else you want."

At this point, Zhang Liang couldn't help admiring Han Fei, and Wei Wei used a trick to ask Jiang Si to ask him.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Si's words fell to the ground, Han Fei followed up with the next sentence.

"I do have other things that I would like to ask Your Excellency for."

"what?"

"An answer."

Jiang Si held the silver ingot between his wrists and put it in his lapel, "Say."

"Why did you break your hand?"

"It's none of your business." As soon as the words came out, Jiang Si thought about taking other people's money, so he looked around, led the two into the house, and said softly, "Just listen to what you say. Listen, don't bring it up and say it." After a pause, he said, "I used to work in the palace and offended the important people in the palace, so I received such a punishment."

Although his voice was thin, his expression was full of arrogance and guard.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Anyway, he is a big shot. Knowing too much is not good for you." Jiang Si touched the ingot in his arms contentedly.

"Oh, let me guess, could it be the king?" Han Fei's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty, "Or, the queen?"

Jiang Si's face turned pale, "Don't make wild guesses!"

"You didn't respond when I said king, but you turned pale when I talked about the future. From this point of view, it's the queen."

Jiang Si didn't answer.

"It seems that I guessed right." Han Fei pursed his lips, and then said, "You left the palace ten years ago. At that time, the queen had not yet become a queen, and she was just a young beauty who was not tall or low, not as popular as a literary beauty. But in the year you left the palace, a big event happened in Han Palace."

Jiang Si was visibly shocked, and bit his bullet, "What's the big deal, why don't I know?"

Han Fei followed his slow tone, "Back then, the former prince Han Guang was murdered by someone and died of a strange poison. The whole world knew about this, but you were in the Han Palace, but you didn't know?"

Jiang Si took a step back and looked at Han Fei defensively, "This matter has nothing to do with me, of course I don't know!"

Although his attitude was tough, his voice trembled faintly.

Han Fei took a step forward, "You know the truth." He stared straight into his eyes with a forceful spirit, "Because of the poison, you were the one who did it."

The house was empty and silent, and even the crows flying past the window were screaming miserably.

Jiang Si suddenly raised his voice, "I don't know what you're talking about, you're just talking nonsense!" Then he looked at Zhang Liang who was not talking much, "You guys are done asking, you can go!"

Han Fei continued, "If it wasn't for you, why would you be guilty?"

"I do not have!"

"You want to harm the prince."

"I said I didn't!"

He was on the verge of losing his mind, and it was the easiest time to break through, so Han Fei waved his sleeves and forced him:

"It was you who poisoned you. You were born humble, but Han Guang was born noble. You were bullied in the Han Palace, but Han Guang was admired by everyone. So you are jealous and want to put him to death!"

A puddle of cold sweat dripped from Jiang Si's forehead, his lips trembled, and he took a few steps back, "It's not me!"

"It's you." Han Fei's words clanged and forced him into a corner, "You bought and poisoned the prince and framed Wen Meiren after the prince died. Then you intentionally angered the queen and asked her to cut off your hands to destroy the evidence! "

Jiang Si finally broke down and screamed: "No! It's not me! I didn't know it was poison!"

As soon as the words came out, he himself realized that he had exposed his flaws.He quickly covered his mouth, but it didn't help.

After the turbulent waves, there is a depressing silence.

Han Fei's eyes dimmed, he lowered his voice, and said slowly: "You admit it, is it poison?"

Jiang Si slumped on the ground all of a sudden, his limbs were limp, his chest rose and fell, and he didn't speak any more.

Han Fei's eyes were reddish, his fists clenched in his sleeves rattling, he turned his back and fell into the darkness.

Jiang Si in front of him killed his elder brother, and the master behind Jiang Si killed his mother.Now, he wants to bow his head to one of them and let him testify against the other.

The roar was like the wind and rain in midsummer, the thunderbolt shook the sky, and after the wind swept away the remnants of the rocks, the simple courtyard fell into dead silence. Zhang Liang looked at this and then at that, and finally helped Jiang Si in, and let Han Fei sit and talk.

Jiang Si slipped his mouth when he said that, so he simply recruited——

Back then, King Han hosted a banquet in the palace to celebrate his [-]th birthday, and all the princes and princesses rushed to give gifts to celebrate.At that time, the prince Han Guang received much attention and threatened to dedicate a Fu to King Han at the birthday banquet, the content of which was the way to stabilize the country that he had pondered over in recent years.As soon as this fu was published, no one could shake his position as the crown prince.

The queen herself had a son, but he was stubborn and didn't like reading.This step taken by Han Guang undoubtedly forced her to go to Liangshan.So he gave Jiang Si a pack of medicinal powder, and lied to him that it was just an ordinary laxative, and asked him to put it in the prince's drink, so that he could not recite Fu smoothly.

Jiang Si went and finished, but when he came back, he found his fingers were purple and black.In the afternoon of that day, the news of Han Guang's sudden death spread throughout the Han Palace.He panicked and went to the queen for help.The queen made a decisive decision and asked him to smash a piece of Hetian jade and cut off his hands.

The queen has always been kind, at least in the eyes of outsiders.Although Jiang Si lost two hands, but when he left the palace, he was given enough money for a lifetime.It's just that Jiang Si's life was at stake at that time, and the coachman who sent him back to Shizhangyuan had a wicked plan, robbed him of money and threw him on the side of the road, and fled.

If Jiang Si's elder brother hadn't been chopping firewood, he would have already died in the wilderness.

Speaking of this, the queen's abacus was also pulled out.Obviously, this is a murder of finding a good scapegoat, the head sheep is Wen Meiren, and the follower is Jiang Si.

"The queen can be the queen, and she is so ruthless that no one can match it." Han Fei half mocked and half sighed, looking straight at Jiang Si, "I have something to ask, please agree."

Up to this point, he was still addressing Jiang Si with respect.

"Your Excellency?" Jiang Si sneered, "I'm just a fugitive murderer... What's the matter with you?"

Han Fei made a bow to him, and said sincerely: "Your Excellency, please enter the palace with me and testify against the queen. Afterwards, the truth will be revealed, and I will thank you very much!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Si smiled and shed tears, "I did the poison. If I testify against the empress, wouldn't it be the same as incriminating myself? Poisoning the prince, this crime alone, is enough to make me die ten times." Second-rate."

Sure enough, what Zhang Liang was most worried about happened.

Han Fei said, "What if I say, I can keep you safe?"

Jiang Si smiled bitterly, "Who are you? What are you capable of making decisions for the king?"

Han Fei didn't make a sound, but nodded after receiving Zhang Liang's probing look.

Zhang Liang's statement was gentler than Han Fei's, not as sharp, "This is Han Fei, the Ninth Prince, a literary beauty, and his mother."

But as soon as the words came out, Jiang Si seemed to be struck by lightning, thinking that they were here to seek revenge, he stood up abruptly, "So that's the case, yes! That's right! You are here to take revenge on me, yes Bar!"

Zhang Liang shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. If the two of us intend to take revenge on you, why bother to tell you so much?" Pointing to Han Fei, he said, "Brother Han just wants you to enter the palace to testify and reveal the queen's true face , to restore his mother’s innocence. You don’t have to worry about it, just imagine, the person who should hate you the most has already forgiven you, so what reason do others have to blame?”

Jiang Si sneered bitterly, weeping while laughing, "Innocent! Do you think the people in the palace are so simple? No one in the palace has clean hands, and everyone is a devil who has taken blood. You are trying to talk morality and righteousness to the devil? "

Knowing that he had a miserable life in the Han Palace, Zhang Liang said again: "Your Excellency, don't get angry. This matter is no small matter. It must have been a thorn in your heart all these years. You can't rest in peace after dreaming at midnight? If you agree, you will be guilty and meritorious. Brother Shang Han doesn't pursue it, the crime is not serious. You can also settle your worries and spend the rest of your life with peace of mind. After all, the queen is the mastermind behind it."

But Jiang Si is like a bird frightened by bows and a mouse afraid of snakes.Even if Zhang Liang said it out of mouth, he still didn't believe it, he punched the table for the last time, smashed the iron hook on his wrist, and cursed loudly.

He was clearly very angry, but his widened eyes were filled with tears.

At that time, Jiang Si's eldest brother happened to come to see him, and when he entered the house and saw the scene, he thought that robbers had entered the house, so he drove them out with a broom.He was aggressive, as if someone was plotting against his brother.

Although Zhang Liang has martial arts by his side, he can't fight back at this time.

In a hurry, Han Fei left the address of the inn so that Jiang Si could find him whenever he needed it.

Jiang Si didn't listen to his words, but wept bitterly in his brother's arms.

.................................

The moon and stars are scarce, and the humble lamps are just on.

When the two returned to the inn, the dining place on the first floor was already quiet and elegant.Han Fei hadn't spoken since he left Jiang Si's residence, thinking and worrying.Zhang Liang guessed that he must be quite tired, so he asked Xiaoer to serve two dishes, and took them to the living room upstairs to eat.

Jiang Siwei is indeed a pitiful and hateful person, but in Zhang Liang's heart, most of them sympathize with him.The fate given to him by the heavens was too rough. He had a miserable life experience when he was young, and he was entangled in court gossip as an adult.It's really sad to end up with a disabled hand and no one to take care of it.

But he didn't tell Han Fei what he said. After all, from Han Fei's point of view, Jiang Si was the murderer who killed his brother and helped to frame Wen Meiren. It is not easy to calmly ask him to testify .

Zhang Liang returned to the room, thinking that Jiang Si should be taboo to see Han Fei, and planned to go alone tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened that night.
