Empress is a sick beauty

When the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested people, it was in the name of questioning, but after Ling Xi was brought to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he never saw Yin Shangshu again.

The guards stood guard at the door, while Ling Xi sat alone in the interrogation room.He had also heard about the methods of interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice before. If the criminal law was really used, it would be considered light to lose the skin.

Ling Xi looked around, there were only tables and chairs here, and there was no iron frame for torture or other punishments.Tool.It looks like they haven't tortured themselves yet.

The interrogation room was dark, and he couldn't tell how many hours had passed, but he probably estimated that it should be a day.During the period, the guards would come to deliver the food every once in a while. Even if he didn't take a bite, the food was still delivered on time, gradually filling up the table.

Finally, footsteps came from outside the door, and there was more than one person who heard the movement.The iron door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open, and Yin Shangshu buried Fang? step by step to enter, putting on airs.

"Master Ling, no matter what, you still have to eat. If you starve to death here because you don't eat, I won't be able to explain to General Ling."

Ling Xi pulled the corner of her mouth, "It's just a few meals, I won't die from starvation."

Yin Shangshu sat behind the desk, waved his sleeves, and the guards quickly stepped forward to take away all the food, and replaced them with new pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

"Lord Ling? It's all here. I really don't want to torture you. Why don't you explain it yourself?" At this point, the people around Yin Shangshu had finished grinding and took up their pens to record.

"Don't hide from Mr. Yin? I really have nothing to explain. Someone framed me and asked me to explain. Is it difficult for a strongman?" Now there is a rough guess.

Who is the person behind this move? Although he can't be sure for the time being, this matter is likely to have the participation of the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, why did the Ministry of Punishment ask the Holy One for instructions so quickly?

The incident happened suddenly, and it happened when His Royal Highness King Yi was not in the capital.It seems that someone wants to take this opportunity to bring him here, but he doesn't know the purpose of bringing him here.

Yin Shangshu pretended to sigh, "Master Ling? It's hard for me to say that."

Ling Xi sat across from him with a calm expression, as if he was just a guest, "Master Yin? Just ask whatever you want. Anyway, I'm in your hands now, and it's hard to fly. What can you do?"

Unable to achieve the desired effect, Yin Shangshu restrained his smirk, and gradually narrowed his eyes, "In this case, why not wait for the confession to be written, Master Ling? Sign it, and even if we close the case, we don't need to waste any more words."

Since Ling Xi had figured out what they wanted to find out from him, he would not do anything rashly to him, so Yin Shangshu's threat was like a paper tiger without any deterrent effect.

"It's not my confession, how can I sign it? Master Yin? Are you joking?"

Yin Shangshu snorted softly, and said in a cold voice, "I don't think Master Ling is missing? The coffin does not shed tears, come and treat Master Ling well, and give him a big face-to-face gift."

The guard at the side responded, stepped forward a few steps, drew out the dagger at his waist and aimed it at Ling Xi's eyes, and was about to stab it.

"Wait." Yin Shangshu stood up unhurriedly, "As long as Master Ling is willing to confess, you don't have to suffer from gouging out your eyes."

As long as the dagger in the guard's hand is sent forward by one point, the consequences will be disastrous.Ling Xi's expression did not change, she looked at Yin Shangshu without blinking her eyes, and did not say a word.

Yin Shangshu frowned, waved his hand, and the guard put away his dagger and bowed back.

"You've got the guts." Yin Shangshu no longer maintained Fang?'s tactful appearance when he was practicing Tai Chi, showing his fierceness. He winked at the people below, and then the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again.

This time it was a man in a black cloak who walked in very lightly and couldn't see his face. He could only tell that the man was a man by his figure.

There are only two kinds of people who can walk so lightly. One is a person who is about to die, and the other is a person with extremely high martial arts.

As soon as this man came, Yin Shangshu stepped back and handed over all the dominance to the man.

"Mr. Ling." The man's deep voice sounded, "I don't know? Mr. Ling, do you know about Nether Valley?"

Ling Xi's heart sank, but fortunately she stabilized her complexion, not revealing any clues, "I don't know?"

"The young hero who killed the owner of Nether Valley three years ago is also surnamed Ling."

Ling Xi smiled, "People with the same surname in the world? There are too many, and besides, do you think I look like a young hero?"

The man? After being silent for a while, he said again, "Then, Master Ling's swordsmanship is the Yueshan school's swordsmanship? Could it be that there are many people in the world who know the Yueshan school's swordsmanship?"

Since he was seriously injured, the only time he used Yueshan swordsmanship was when he was assassinated in Hangzhou, that is to say, this person was also on the boat at that time.

Ling Xi closed her eyes, and said calmly, "I was lucky enough to learn a few moves of Yueshan Sword, but after all, I was not born with enough talent to practice martial arts, so I didn't join the Yueshan sect."

Man? Stared at him for a while, then slowly approached, "So I misunderstood."

While talking, the man suddenly got into trouble and put a hand on his shoulder.Immediately, Ling Xi froze her body, feeling a rush of strong internal force.It hit him, and he couldn't breathe.

If he doesn't resist, he will be hurt internally.But if he resists, even if he wins over the man?, he will be backlashed, and at the same time, his identity will be exposed.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi completely gave up resisting, the opponent's internal force went straight into the limbs and bones, as long as it continued, it would definitely hurt the heart, but the man? Let go at this moment.

Without restraint, the body that had just been severely injured could no longer support it. Ling Xi firmly held on to the back of the chair so as not to let himself slide down. He bit his lower lip tightly, a trace of bright red overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks drip.

He guessed right, this person? He came to test him.

"Take him down, take care of him, don't let him die."

The sound in the ear became more and more chaotic, and the vision became more and more blurred.In the end, he really didn't know what those two people were talking about. He only knew that he was left alone in the interrogation room again.The moment the iron door closed, the pupils that had been holding on for so long finally closed slowly.

In the imperial study room, Ling Feng always knelt in front of the saint. It was rare for him to kneel for such a long time. The last time? It was 21 years ago after his brother died for the country, he knelt in front of the mourning hall for a day and a night.

"I implore the emperor to order Xi'er to return? The general's mansion is pending investigation. Xi'er is not in good health and can't stand the punishment department?"

The emperor put down the last book? The memorial, and then raised his eyes, "Ling Aiqing, let me go, I didn't convict Ling Xi, but just interrogated him. I like Ling Xi's child, and I don't believe that he will be like you. But all things pay attention to evidence, you can't avoid everything just because you and I don't believe it."

Ling Feng still insisted on kneeling, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee with Xiang's head that Xi'er will not leave the general's mansion until the facts of the case come to light. I only want to bring Xi'er back to the general's mansion. Court law."

"Others? The investigations are all in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How can we make an exception?" The emperor sighed, "I know? I know that Ling Aiqing loves this nephew, and I also remember that he is Ling Ye's son. I have already told the Ministry of Criminal Justice not to move. Using torture is just to ask questions, Ling Aiqing doesn't have to worry."

Ling Feng wanted to say something more? What, at this moment? Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in and whispered something in the head manager's ear.

"Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Yi, please see me?"

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat, hope arose in vain in the originally hopeless situation.

After a while, Yun Yi was called into the imperial study.Ling Feng stood up and retreated to the side. When he looked up, he saw King Yi's expression was as indifferent as before. When he reported the plague in Yangzhou City, he was methodical, which attracted the emperor's frequent nods and approval in his eyes.It's just that since entering the door, King Yi only talked about Yangzhou City, and didn't mention Ling Xi at all.

"The emperor has worked hard, things are done well, go back and think about what rewards you want, and tell your father when you are done."

Yun Yi cupped his hands and said, "It is the duty of the sons and ministers to share the worries of the father and the emperor, and I dare not ask for a reward."

There was a smile on the emperor's face, "You child, you are too sincere, you don't know? You don't know how to take the opportunity to ask for something."

"Father, my son has a request."

When the emperor is happy, most things can be granted, especially when it comes to rewarding juniors, he is never stingy, "Emperor, just say it."

Yun Yi raised her head, "I want to personally handle the imperial examination Wu. Fraud case."

The emperor just smiled a little, but his words cooled down, "I know you have friendship with Ling Xi, you'd better avoid suspicion on this matter, and leave it to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Father will hand this matter over to the sons and servants. Within five days, father will definitely give you a result. Can the Ministry of Punishment give you this guarantee?"

This remark sounds a little crazy to others.But the emperor knew in his heart the ability of his son. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I allow you to handle this case. If there is no result in five days?"

Yun Yi saluted again, "My son will receive the punishment on his own."

An imperial decree was passed down, and the case of missing questions in the imperial examinations was fully handled by King Yi.At the same time when the emperor delegated power, he had acquiesced to King Yi to decide Ling Xi's fate.

In the courtyard of the General's Mansion, Yun Yi, together with Ling Feng and his son, were watching at the gate, waiting for the news of the pick-up.

"Report! The carriage to pick up Mr. Ling is almost at the door."

Before the carriage stopped, Yun Yi took the lead to welcome him out the door.He waited so much for him to finally come back, and hastily lifted the curtain of the car to make sure that he was safe. When he never expected to see Ling Xi, the person he missed all the time turned out to be pale and leaning against him weakly. In the corner, it seems that it will disappear in the next moment?

"Ling Xi."

Hearing a familiar voice, Ling Xi opened his eyes, and when he saw Yun Yi, he showed a slight smile, his lips parted slightly, almost wanting to make a sound, but couldn't stop spitting out a mouthful.Blood.

"Ling Xi!"

Terrified, Yunyi took Ren? out of the carriage, and left a sentence to ask the imperial doctor, ignoring other people?, and directly performed light work and went straight to Ling Xi's bedroom.

The general's mansion was in chaos, Ling Feng forced himself to calm down, and ordered someone to fetch Li Taiyi, while he rushed to the west wing without stopping.

"Father, Ling Xi must be alright?" Ling Jie asked anxiously as he followed Ling Feng after losing two and a half souls after being frightened by the scene just now.

"It must be fine." Ling Feng's tone was firm, he didn't know whether he said it to himself or his son.

The father and son stayed in the outside room fidgeting uneasy. Dr. Li had been in for a long time to check the pulse, but he didn't see him for a long time? Come out.
