Chapter 139: Probing

The Tianluo Tianzi size room is the most heavily guarded cell, but the heavily guarded does not mean that the environment here is the worst. On the contrary, it is spacious and clean, but the wall is thicker than other cells. The gate requires only two layers.
Xia Jiang squatted against the corner of the cell and closed his eyes to recall the whole process of his failure.
He has been immersed in the officialdom for decades, and has acted vigorously with thoughtful thoughts until now, and has never encountered such a tragic situation.
On the surface, he seems to have been accidentally betrayed by his apprentice, but now that he has been betrayed, he still cannot convince Liang Di of the existence of this kind of betrayal, but it is definitely the result of the design of Gao Ren.
Emperor Liang ’s trust in the Suspended Mirror Division had dropped to freezing point at this time. He was not even angered. He even did not want to see Xia Jiang in person. He only appointed Mengzhi to serve him regularly and asked if the former first adult was willing to plead guilty.
Although the question was asked every time, in fact, even if Xia Jiang was willing to plead guilty, there was no way to plead guilty, because he could not surrender Wei Zheng at all.
What's more, the crime of framing the prince is also a dead end.
Once the emperor's strict authority was involved, Emperor Liang's handling methods were ruthless, and others were unclear. Xia Jiang was very clear.
When the cell was damp and moldy, the air was shuttled between his nose. Xia Jiang gritted his teeth, thinking about the young man who was fragile and fragile, but tough and frightening.
When Su Zhe's name first reached his ears, he didn't care too much, thinking that it was just another ambition who hoped to move from the rivers and lakes to the temple, and may not have much energy.
More importantly, at that time he did not have much interest in the battle for the succession of princes. The crown prince and Yu Wang wo n’t matter who wins. The Suspension Department is always the Suspension Department, and there is no need to worry at all.
But then the situation changed drastically.
When King Jing was born, Xia Jiang felt a sense of crisis.
Only then began to seriously deal with this change.
But what I didn't think of was that it was only because I despised a hidden person behind the scenes.
He actually lost the game, ruined the victory that was originally in his palm, and fell to such a point.
Xia Jiang is no longer thinking about how to overthrow the King's land affairs. He is thinking about how to live his life, especially when there are no echoes in the second half of the two folds.
Then the sound of the iron lock outside the cell sounded.
The door was opened and left open at will.
But Xia Jiang didn't even think about taking the opportunity to escape, because someone who dares to open the door so boldly must be sincere.
Langya ranked second in the master list, the first brave brave, sincere.
The Commander of the Forbidden Army brought the Xindi pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which obviously meant that the emperor was not satisfied with the suspect's latest confession.
"Xia Jiang, Your Majesty's patience is limited. If you still haven't pleaded guilty.
Your majesty can only be severely punished. Meng Zhi embraced her chest with both hands and said coldly.
"It's already a death sentence. Where else can it go?" Xia Jiang stood up supporting Shibi.
"Mongolian leader, all my compromises are true.
Why does your majesty not believe it? "
Meng Zhi said with a blank expression: "You identify Mei Changsu as an old man of King Qi.
Can there be evidence? "
"He admits himself ..."
"If you are an old King of Qi, would you admit it yourself? Let's talk for no reason at all.
Why should he take the initiative to show himself that he is an old man of King Qi? Does Mei Changsu seem stupid enough to find someone to die? Meng Zhi sneered, "If you want your majesty to believe, don't bite at random, say something real, such as handing over Wei Zheng."
"Wei Zheng is not in my hands, how can I hand it over?"
"If you don't pay, you don't confess your sins?"
The interrogation fell into a strange circle like the previous few times. Xia Jiang felt mad and tried to take a few breaths, calming down and saying, "Master Mongolia, I admit that Wei Zheng was moved to Dali Temple to be held, and the robber was deliberately put in a hanging mirror Si is a little bit ill-intentioned, but Xia Dong said that I instructed her to be all framed, and your majesty ca n’t listen to or believe in her!

I looked at him sincerely for a long time, and my eyes were cold. "Xia Jiang, because of Xia Dong, he has been excusing you ... Until now, you dare to dare to do it, and even blame yourself. Apprentice.
Your Majesty has given you the opportunity to defend yourself. How can you say that you are listening to and believing? Xia Dongming is your own love. Why should she frame you? "
The muscles on Xia Jiang's face could not help twitching.
The words asked by Mengzhi are part of his least explainable. Xia Dong and his relationship are well known. There has never been any news of discord between the master and the disciples before. Turning your face, it ’s inevitable for anyone to change your mind, not to mention the reason for turning your face, it ’s really hard to say.
"You don't plead guilty to death. It doesn't matter if you want to spend more time," Meng Zhi continued. "Your two young envoys have also admitted that you have instructed them to release the robbers into the suspension department without serious resistance. "
"I wanted to destroy it in one fell swoop! I used to set up gunpowder in the dungeon to kill the robbers, didn't they say it?"
"From the confession, no." Mengzhi's undulating voice sounded particularly desperate. "After I sealed the Suspended Mirror Division, there was no trace of gunpowder in the dungeon.
Xia Chun and Xia Qiu did not mention this in the confession. Do you have any other evidence of innocence? "
Xia Jiang looked pale for a while.
On the day of the incident, in order to encourage King Jing to take bold shots, he intentionally let Xia Chun and Xia Qiu be led out without requiring them to cooperate, of course, they did not tell them about the design of the gunpowder trap. After all, after the gunpowder was detonated, even Xia Dong They will also blow up together, and Xia Qiu will not talk about it. Even Xia Chun who has no blood relationship with Xia Dong, after all, learned art with her from an early age. Without telling them, she is also afraid of growing branches outside the festival. I do n’t even have a personal certificate ... but the two young envoys ...
"Please return to your Majesty, there are problems with the confession of the two young envoys. They know the gunpowder the most. They know that I am absolutely prepared to kill the robbers ..."
"It's late," Meng Zhi froze coldly and mercilessly to Xia Jiang's last hope. "The two young masters only knew that you had the fate of the first, and they forgot that they were holding the official position of the court. They said to them when they were tried. Just ordered to be innocent.
His Royal Highness reported this madness to His Majesty, and His Majesty was naturally angry.
Instructed the internal supervisor to use a forty stick. They did not resist the past and were dead. "
"Dead ..." Soybean-sized sweat beads rolled down Xia Jiang's forehead.
He asked two steps forward dazedly.
"How could it be that His Royal Highness King Yu is hearing the case?"
"This case is special. Your Majesty does not want to have your company involved. Although His Royal Highness has a disability and ignores it, he is a prince after all. What is so strange about designating him?"
Xia Jiang closed his eyes.
I felt that my limbs seemed to be handcuffed, and I couldn't make any effort at all.
Not long ago, King Yu was oppressed by Yu Wang because of controversy about his concubine. If he wants to pick out this time to be angry, it is really normal.
This may be the case in the world. The person who is not in your eyes when you are in power, maybe one day will hit you the hardest, you can't think of it, you can't hide it.
With sincere eyes, he looked at this man who had been forced to despair.
The expression did not soften in the slightest, "Xia Jiang, you have today.
It is really your own cause, and taste your own results.
A hanging mirror that has lost trust makes it something for your majesty.
You know it best.
He doesn't want to hear about you any more now, and even I may not come again in the future.
You are dead.
But when to die is still undecided, but no matter how late he can't escape the autumn decision.
Before that, you ’re going to live in this prison for a while, I think you should have more than this debt, before you die, there is paper and ink here, you slowly think back and write slowly, there is no need to bring Go inside the coffin and become the sin of the next world. "
After saying this, the Commander of the Armed Forces never looked at Xia Jiang again, and turned out of the cell, relocking the door, leaving the people inside a dark space that was almost suffocating.
Leaving Tianzihaofang, Mengzhi did not go out immediately, but turned to the promenade and came to the female prison to visit Xia Dong.
The female prison is located on the top floor, with much better air circulation and light.
When Mengzhi entered, Xia Dong was standing in the middle of the cell, looking up at the pale sunlight passing through the high window. He did not look back when he heard the sound of the prison door.
"Master Xia, someone asked me to see you.
are you OK? "
Xia Dong did not answer.
The sun shone on her face, the skin was transparent, and the wrinkles were clear. She squinted her eyes as if counting the dust in the light.
That pure and calm state is actually another kind of despair.
Meng Zhi suddenly felt speechless.
What can he comfort this woman? Say someone will plead for her, saying that her life is intact? After all the pains of heartbreak and lungs in life, how could Xia Dong still care about her own life and death ...
After being silent for a long time, Meng Zhi could only helplessly asked, "Master Xia, do you have anything to say to anyone else?".
Xia Dong finally turned his eyes slowly, and his bright eyes moved slightly, "How are Brother Chun and Qiu now?"
"Oh, both of them were not there on the day of the incident, and they could not be considered as accomplices, so it was probably removed from office, and there would be other punishments, which should not be considered heavy ..."
"Then ... what about him?"
"He is the principal and has no physiology." Meng Zhi felt that there was no need to be euphemistic. "This is because he deserves it. Lord Xia doesn't have to hang Xia Dong's head and grin sorrowfully," Won't worry about it. If his heart is gone, where can he hang? "
"Master Xia, General Nie Feng is not dead, before the truth begins, please take care of yourself."
Speaking of Nie Feng, Xia Dong's eyes flashed with pain, and involuntarily raised a hand, slowly rubbing his forehead with white hair.
It may be the easiest thing to break down like this. Weeping, escaping, numbness, and even death are all easier than clenching your teeth.
But she knew she could never choose that kind of ease.
Because she is Nie Feng's wife, she hopes that the deceased will be in revenge even if she is unrequited.
She must get the tragic truth and go to the sacrifice to the dead husband's grave.
"Master Meng, please tell Mr. Xia Dong that he is not a follower of the Xiying camp. Xia Dong also believes that he can return the dead to justice.
Before that, even if it was in exile, I could still support it, so please do n’t distract me. "
Sincerely and solemnly bowed to her, the name has also been changed in her mouth, "Mrs. Nie, I will bring this to Mr.
In the old case that year, not only did the sir not let it disappear, but His Highness King Jing also vowed to pursue it.
Although General Nie was not stigmatized, he was the cause of the Chi Yan case after all. If he could not clearly understand all the truth in front of the world, General Nie ’s heroes would also be uneasy.
It's just hard to tell when this wish can be fulfilled. Please ask Mrs. Nie to be patient. "
Xia Dong turned around, the light flashed across her cheeks, leaving a silhouette on the side of her nose.
She didn't answer directly, but the quietness and perseverance in her eyes had already explained everything.
Meng Zhi no longer talked much, bowed his hand and exited the cell.
Outside the nether road, an old jailer was hiding in the dark and looking secretly at this side, or he thought he was hiding.
The cold room is still empty, deserted and lonely.
Meng Zhi only cast a hurried glance over there, then strode away.
There is the last footprint of King Qi over there, and there was the end that many people hoped for, but the forbidden army commander understands that at this time, it is far from the time to lament.
