Dianxia Qingcheng

Shen Nineteen was taken to an unfamiliar place, like a firewood house, it was very empty, only some firewood was piled up in the corner.

After the servants threw him in, they walked away. Shen Shijiu was thrown directly to the ground by a force, and his arms and knees were aching. He finally got used to the dark environment around him, and then fumbled against the corner.

He tried very hard to think about it. He really didn't use any wrong medicine. How could the second princess be poisoned suddenly? He was puzzled.

It was dark in the firewood room and could not see the outside, but only roughly knew that it seemed to be dark.

Shen Nineteen didn't know when he would be released, but he wouldn't recognize the things he didn't do anyway.

After it got completely dark, the door of the firewood house was suddenly pushed open, and a few candlesticks illuminated the small firewood house.

Shen Nineteen slowly raised his head from his arms, and a familiar dress appeared in front of him.

Qi Bingzhi was standing by the door, not willing to walk into this messy and dilapidated firewood house, with a handkerchief covering his nose and mouth, looking unwell.

Xiaomei walked in, followed by a few servants.

"I gave you half a day, have you thought about it, do you admit your guilt or not?"

Shen Jiujiu flinched twice and shook his head.

Xiaomei glared at him, "I know you must be stubborn. Fortunately, I have prepared something for you, you just need to draw a bet."

Saying that, someone came forward with a piece of paper on which criminal evidence was written, and threw himself in front of Shen Nineteen.

"Be obedient and put a handprint on it. Even if this is over, the princess will not pursue your fault again. Press it quickly."

Shen Nineteen looked at the piece of paper, the master taught him to read, and he recognized almost all the characters on it.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Xiaomei became anxious, "Don't look, just press it. You two, give him a hand."

One of the two servants next to him grabbed Shen Nineteen's hand and wanted to press it on the ink pad, while the other held the piece of paper and moved forward.

Shen Nineteen struggled desperately. He understood the words on the piece of paper. As long as he pressed his handprint, he would have confessed his guilt.

It took a long time to get Shen Nineteen's hands to get stained with ink pad, and he resisted with all his strength.

The servant simply took a dagger, cut Shen Shijiu's fingers, and stained his palm with blood.

Who would have guessed that when the paper was put together to press the handprint, the blood flowed so much that half of the paper was dyed red, and it was impossible to see what was written on the paper.

Qi Bingzhi watched several people busy for a long time, but couldn't draw the bet well, so he called Xiaomei over, explained something to Xiaomei, and then left. After Qi Bingzhi left, Xiaomei also greeted a few servants to leave, and the door of the firewood house was closed again.

Shen Nineteen's body was no longer supported, and then fell limply to the ground.

The ground was cold, but I could still feel the warmth in my palms, all of which were sticky blood, covering my hands.

I don't know how long I've been lying on the ground for so long, until Shen Nineteen's eyes are confused and can't see clearly.

I heard the sound of the door opening again, and someone walked in, it seemed that there were several people, and an unpleasant smell filled the entire woodshed.

Shen Nineteen's eyelids were heavy, and he saw in a daze that those people were all tattered, like beggars begging on the street for a living.

I could vaguely hear those people talking.

"Is it this person?"

"He's the only one in this room, who else could it be but him."

"Then hurry up and go out to get the reward money. The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are generous, let us take advantage and give us the money." That is, I will be the first to say no to the Prime Minister in the future. ! "

After some eager discussion, the few people rubbed their hands and slowly walked towards the man lying on the ground, and began to unravel the robes on his body.

Shen Nineteen was twisted a few times by someone, and he immediately woke up from the pain, and raised his head with tears in his eyes.

"You guys, what do you want to do..."

When those people saw him awake, they didn't mean to be scared at all, on the contrary, they became even more excited.

"Hurry up, people should struggle after waking up for a while, and they won't be so honest."

Shen Nineteen really wanted to struggle, but he had used too much strength just now, and now he couldn't lift it up at all, and the pain in the bleeding palm made him unable to move at all.

A crystal tear slid down his face, and Shen Shijiu was trembling with fear, but only in exchange for more rude and abusive treatment.

At this moment, Dada's hooves stopped at the entrance of the Prime Minister's mansion, and a figure jumped off the horse's back, then rushed into the mansion, and rushed directly towards the waterside residence.

Li Yu had already been waiting at the door, and after seeing the black robe, he hurriedly followed.

"My lord, it has been five hours since I entered the waterside residence, and there is no movement at all. I don't know what the situation is now."

Pei Zheng's expression was stern, and he didn't say a word.

When we arrived at the gate of Shuixieju, it was dark inside, and it seemed that the people inside had already rested.

Pei Zheng didn't do what he thought, kicked the door open, and the door frame shattered on the spot.

After the loud noise, candlelight lit up behind the thick curtain.

First, Xiaomei walked out, and when she saw Pei Zheng, she looked very surprised.

"Pei, Lord Pei, why are you back?"

But Pei Zheng didn't even look at her, just waved her body away, opened the curtain and walked in.

Qi Bingzhi was lying on the bed, his clothes were half closed, his cheeks were pale and pale, and he looked pitiful.

"Sir, ahem..."

She coughed twice, clutching her chest and frowning.

Pei Zheng didn't have any pity in his eyes. He walked to Qi Bingzhi's bed and said coldly, "Where is the person?"

Qi Bingzhi's eyes changed, "Sir, I don't understand what you are saying."

Pei Zheng didn't intend to give her any sympathy, he grabbed her collar and pulled half of her body from the bed.

"I'll ask you again, man, what?"

Qi Bingzhi was unable to breathe due to the collar, and his face gradually turned red.

Xiaomei on the side hurried over and dragged Qi Bingzhi's body underneath, so anxious that she was about to burst into tears.

"My lord, please put the princess down. The princess has been poisoned by the villain. I can't bear the trouble!"

Not only did Pei Zheng not let go, but he held it even tighter.

"Poisoned?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Xiaomei nodded again and again as if complaining, and took out the prescription that Shen Nineteen wrote to Qi Bingzhi from her bosom.

"It's this prescription. Lang Zhong has already helped to read it. This medicine is in conflict with the prescription that the princess gave before, but Shen Nineteen still prescribes such a prescription. He just holds a grudge against the princess... ."

Pei Zheng glanced at the prescription by the dim candlelight, but suddenly froze.

He recognized the handwriting.

But the handwriting can be imitated, and Pei Zheng knew in his heart that he had other evidence to prove it.

Before Xiaomei could finish her words, she was kicked to the side, and she lay on the ground with her back hunched over for a long time, unable to move.

"The truth has given you a chance, if it were him, anything would happen..."

Pei Zheng leaned into Qi Bingzhi's ear, "...You have to pay back a hundred times."

After he threw the man in his hand onto the bed, Pei Zheng didn't even want to give Qi Bingzhi a look.

Qi Bingzhi coughed violently, and the corners of her eyes were crying, but the people in front of her didn't even want to give her a little concern.

She already understood that she lost the bet, even if she gambled with her own life, she still lost, a crushing defeat.

A large number of Xiangfu guards suddenly poured in outside the door, surrounding the entire water pavilion.

Chengfeng and Li Yu were both standing by the door, waiting for Pei Zheng's instructions. With a glance from Pei Zheng, the guards rushed in and began to search closely in the waterside residence.

After a while, a few mourning came from the courtyard at the back door of Shuixieju.

Cheng Feng came to the outer hall to resume his orders, "Master, someone has been found, but the situation doesn't seem to be very good..."

Pei Zheng walked through the back door and came to the firewood house. There were four or five ragged beggars kneeling outside, and they were all pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Pei Zheng took a deep breath, he suddenly did not dare to face it, pressed down the faint restlessness in his heart, and stepped into the woodshed. Shen Nineteen was supported by Li Yu, his small hands tightly protecting the collar on his chest, as if he was frightened, his eyes were confused and couldn't find the focus.

Seeing Pei Zheng approaching slowly, Li Yu said, "Sir, he was rescued by Feng Guard before anything happened, but he was probably very frightened and hasn't recovered yet."

Pei Zheng walked over and gently touched Shen Nineteen's head, Shen Nineteen looked up at him, and after a while, his eyes focused on his face.

As soon as he recognized that the person standing in front of him was Pei Zheng, Shen Shijiu's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Big, my lord...I, I didn't...poison...gong, princess..."

"Well, I know." Pei Zheng's tone was soft, completely lacking the coldness he had just now.

"I...I will only save...the one who saves...the one who won't harm...the..."

"Yes, you won't hurt anyone."

Pei Zheng winked at Li Yu, Li Yu handed the person into Pei Zheng's arms, and then pulled Cheng Feng, who was still holding a pestle aside, to retreat.

Shen Shijiu buried his head deeply in front of Pei Zheng's chest, smelling the good smell of sandalwood on his body, he calmed down a little, the tears flowed less fiercely, but his eyes were still foggy.

"Don't cry, I'll take you back to rest, okay?"

Shen Shijiu said, "Okay...but, I don't dare to be alone...I, I'm a little scared..."

Pei Zheng grabbed his waist and led him out of the woodshed.

Of course, there was no intention to let him go back to that small wing by himself.

When the two entered the waterside residence from the back door, there was only a row of candles along the road. Everyone was ordered to withdraw, and Qi Bingzhi and his entourage who were in the middle of the waterside residence did not know where to go.

Pei Zheng took Shen Nineteen along the row of candles, walked into the back garden, and came to the door of the small building.
