"You... What the hell are you..." Ji Lei leaned against the railing, looked at Shen Zechuan's smile, and moved back quickly, "What the hell are you trying to do!"
"You ask me," Shen Zechuan said happily, "are you asking me?"
Shen Zechuan's eyes became gloomy, and he waved to Ji Lei arrogantly. Ji Lei didn't move, leaned his back against the wall, and refused to approach Shen Zechuan for half a minute.
Shen Zechuan said: "The prisoners are all animals to be slaughtered. Uncle, how dare you ask me?"
Ji Lei said, "What else can you do, kill me?"
"It's rare for our uncles and nephews to get together, and we don't have enough time to play. How could I kill you so quickly." Shen Zechuan slid his thumb over the railing, and he softened his voice, "You don't speak because you think there is an opportunity to carry those It's a secret, no one can bear to touch you. Life in Xing Prison is more comfortable, not only food and clothing, but also life. With Pan Rugui as company, there is a lot of leisure and happiness."
Ji Lei was drenched in cold sweat, he leaned against the wall and no longer looked directly into Shen Zechuan's eyes.
"But happy days are fleeting. As long as the tongue is still there, a leg is missing, an arm is broken, and eyes are gouged out, it's not a big deal. A few months ago, my uncle invited me to eat donkey fried. I haven't tasted it, it's a long night now, and it's time to sip wine." Shen Zechuan slipped a thin blade between his fingers, knocked it between the gaps of the railing, and said, "Ji Lei, it's time to drink."
"You are crazy!" Ji Lei stretched his neck and said word by word, "Shen Zechuan, you are crazy!"
"I'm crazy." Shen Zechuan stared at him and answered affirmatively.
"How dare you touch me?" Ji Lei viciously said, "The queen mother is holding your head, how dare you touch a single hair of me!"
Shen Zechuan was delighted again, and said with a smile, "Uncle, why do you always say such amusing words tonight. I came here, who do you think told me to come?"
Ji Lei was furious and said, "Don't think about being blinded—"
"Shen Wei is dead." Shen Zechuan quickly cut off Ji Lei's voice, "On the day when Shen Wei ***, I heard that the palace of Jianxing in Dunzhou was on fire. The Dunzhou city wall was reviled by others. I didn't see that scene with my own eyes, but I kept trying to think about it over the years. After thinking about it, I finally found something. "
Ji Lei swallowed his saliva.
"His plan of collaborating with the enemy has been successful. Wouldn't he be more comfortable when he turned against the enemy? Duanzhou has fallen. He led his troops to meet them. He was afraid to move forward, so he only dared to step back." Shen Zechuan stood up, "He has already succeeded, and there is only a way out if he moves forward. But he keeps retreating. Even if he is a wine bag, he should know that retreating is the only way to die."
Ji Lei took a deep breath and said in disgust, "Because he doesn't dare, who would look down on him in the Twelve Biansha Division? When he cooperated with the enemy, he was already dead!"
Shen Zechuan threw an Dongzhu into the cage, and the bead slammed on the edge and rolled to Ji Lei's feet. Shen Zechuan looked at Ji Lei's gradually changing face and smiled.
Ji Lei's hands trembled, he stared at Dongzhu, and said with difficulty, "No... it's impossible..."
"Emperor Xiande is dead." Shen Zechuan leaned over and said, "Shen Wei is also dead."
Ji Lei kicked Dongzhu away violently and said, "Shuzi is cunning, don't try to deceive me!"
Shen Zechuan said happily: "Hua Siqian also bit his tongue and committed suicide. Next, is it you or Pan Rugui? Shall we draw lots! Uncle Shi, you come first."
After he finished speaking, he turned two thin blades between his fingers and handed them to Ji Lei through the gap.
"If there is a gap, kill Pan Rugui. If there is no gap, you will feed the dog with your flesh and blood. Don't be afraid, smoke it."
Ji Lei looked at the cold light and thin blade, his lips moved, and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about..."
"The queen mother told me to start fast." Shen Zechuan stared at him, "I gave you the opportunity to choose, uncle, if you live another day, there will be a turning point."
Ji Lei was tortured for days, and his consciousness was in a trance. In this strange atmosphere, he was confused by what Shen Zechuan said was true and false. He stared at the two thin blades, and finally raised his hand unexpectedly. When his shaking fingers touched the thin blades, he saw Shen Zechuan slowly pulling the corner of his lips.
"Ah," Shen Zechuan smiled sadly, "I forgot, all the new blades I brought today are all new, and the ones with gaps have been dealt with."
Ji Lei's shame of being teased immediately flooded into his heart, he rushed over uncontrollably, grabbed the railing and shouted hysterically, "If you want to kill or cut, you can do it! I won't say a word if you want to know! You kill me, You killed me!"
"Wrong." Shen Zechuan firmly controlled the atmosphere, "I didn't want to kill you."
"It's you!" Ji Lei scratched at the railing, "It's you!"
"Is it me?" Shen Zechuan gently pulled Dongzhu who had rolled out, stepped on his feet, looked at him coldly, and asked again, "Is it me?"
Ji Lei held his head and tangled his unkempt hair, slipped down along the railing and knelt down, repeating over and over again: "It's you... it's you..."
Shen Zechuan suddenly said, "Shen Wei killed the prince."
Ji Lei was like falling into an ice cave, looked up at him in fear, and said, "You..."
Shen Zechuan said, "You and Shen Wei killed the prince."
"It's not me!" Ji Lei tugged at his hair, "It wasn't me! It was Shen Wei who killed the prince!"
"You teamed up to frame the prince's treason." Shen Zechuan said quickly, "You forged the document. You forced the prince into Zhaosin Temple. He wanted to see Emperor Guangcheng, but you drew a sword and killed him."
"It's not me!" Ji Lei was already crazy, and he tried his best to retort in this chaotic questioning, "It's not the knife I drew! It's Shen Wei, it's Shen Wei who insists on killing him!"
"So Shen Wei is also dead." Shen Zechuan circled back and repeated, "Shen Wei ***, burned beyond recognition, and now you are the only one left."
Ji Lei was forced to fill his head with the word "death" by these repeated hints, and he clearly recalled the face of the previous prince when he was slaughtered. At that time, he stood in Shen Zechuan's position, condescending, like looking at a pig. Now that he has been subtly changed positions, the cage will give people the illusion that he is like a beast. He has become an ant under Shen Zechuan's feet, and he can only be killed by his neck.
Ji Lei didn't want to die.
The desire to survive has never been stronger. He banged his forehead on the railing and said, "We all obey orders, and there is nothing we can do! You want to avenge Shen Wei? I can help you! Shen Wei killed the prince and was feudalist. King Xing, went to Zhongbo, he escaped!"
Ji Lei choked up in embarrassment, and he didn't know where the fear came from, as if he had really become a beast to be manipulated, and could only look up at Shen Zechuan.
"I didn't kill the Crown Prince, I wanted to save him! But Dad died suddenly." Ji Lei said helplessly, "Dad is dead, they want to frame me! If I take the blame, Big Brother will kill me, Ji Gang will kill me too! What can I do? I can only ask Pan Rugui! If Pan Rugui wants to protect me, I must forge documents! If I am forced into that situation, I have to live!"
"How did Ji Wufan die?" Shen Zechuan asked coldly.
"I don't know, I don't know how Dad died... Dad is ill, because Ji Gang also passed away, and all his favorite sons are gone." Ji Lei said this, and became embarrassed again, he hated, "For him It was me who sent me off! But he said that my roots were rotten, and he treated Ji Gang and Zuo Qianqiu as his own sons, and passed on his thoughts to both of them. But my surname is also Ji, and I did nothing. How could he treat me like this !"
"Shen Wei killed the prince and couldn't sleep at night. He was scared. We were drinking. He told me that he gradually realized that someone was staring at him. He was in the mansion, and he could hear people walking on the roof late at night. I said no. We Jinyiwei did it, but in this capital, what else can avoid Jinyiwei? I expect there are traitors in Jinyiwei too, and there are people from the Eight Great Families everywhere."
"The Hua family has already gained power, and we are cautious. Shen Wei's insomnia is getting worse and worse. He wants to run, so he spends a lot of money to bribe Pan Rugui and want to leave the capital. At that time, when Libei was rising, there were no troops in the Queen Mother's hands except for the eight major battalions. The Xiao family, Shen Wei was named King of Jianxing, and those who went to Qidong and Libei, Libei and Qidu must pass through Dazhou Zhongbo. The Queen Mother asked him to be a watchdog, staring at Libei and Qidong."
Ji Lei spoke more and more quickly.
"Who knew that Shen Wei would cooperate with the enemy? He is begging for death! He has documents to communicate with Qidu. Once the documents fall into the hands of the Libei Iron Cavalry, Xiao Jiming will not miss the opportunity to attack Qidu! So Shen Wei must ** *! Do you understand? Shen Wei was collaborating with the enemy, and he refused to be restrained by others. At that time, the Hua family had a son, and according to the Queen Mother's wishes, if the son grew up, Zhongbo would not need outsiders to look after him. The Hua family has done so many evil things, if Zhongbo no longer needs him, he is the queen mother's waste."
"No one expected that he would jump over the wall and put Biansha cavalry in to massacre the city... This is revenge! This is his revenge against Qidu, the Queen Mother, and Da Zhou!"
Ji Lei held the railing and begged: "I'm done... The one who killed Shen Wei was the queen mother, and the one who killed the prince was also the queen mother, as well as Emperor Guangcheng, Emperor Xiande, and Hua Siqian, all of them were abandoned sons of the queen mother. You are now doing errands for the queen mother, look at me, I didn't tell the queen mother that you had already taken refuge with the Xiao family... Did you rescue Xiao Chiye that night? But the Xiao family will not help you, Xiao Chiye is in the capital, The Xiao family can't move, they can't take care of themselves, how can they care about you!"
He wants to prove that he is useful, but his fear is getting worse and worse.
Across the railing, Shen Zechuan asked him the last question: "Five years ago, the frontier state fell, and my wife died. No one knows about this, how do you know so well?"
Ji Lei looked at Shen Zechuan's eyes, and in the silence, sweat slowly dripped down.

Xi Hongxuan fell asleep after waiting until a stack of paper was thrown from him. He woke up suddenly, took the paper, shook it away in the dark, saw the red and bright fingerprints underneath, smiled vaguely, and said, "You're really good."
Shen Zechuan had a salty smell on his body. He smiled for a moment and said, "Whether or not this confession can be handed over depends on how Mr. Haige decides."
"It's such a big favor," said Xi Hongxuan, "isn't it a white gang?"
"There is a man named Qiao Tianya in Jinyiwei. He is very good at swordsmanship. I want him." Shen Zechuan said calmly.
"...It's easy to say." Xi Hongxuan hesitated for a while, "I'll talk to Yanqing."
"It's work." Shen Zechuan said, "it's late at night, I should go."
After saying that, he opened the door and left first.
It was raining at night outside, and Xi Hongxuan wanted to tell Shen Zechuan to get on the carriage, but he thought of something and changed his mind. He read through the confession and felt it was too smooth.
Xi Hongxuan thought that he had to show Xue Xiuzhuo this confession first, and said to the attendant next to him, "Go, drag Ji Lei out and send it back."
The attendant responded, went up to open the door, stepped in, and fell to the ground with a "bang", screaming like a ghost.
Xi Hongxuan saw Ji Lei along the opened door. He rolled in his stomach, covered his face, backed away, knocked aside the table and chairs desperately, rushed into the rain and vomited violently.
* * *
Shen Zechuan washed his hands until they turned red before wiping them with a handkerchief. The white clothes on his body were not stained with blood, but the smell of blood lingered. He picked up the placket and sniffed with a frown.
So smelly.
Shen Zechuan just squatted by the water, soaked in the rain. The night rain soon soaked him, he slowly raised his head and looked at the dark sky, his neck was sore. Then he stood up and walked back.
Shen Zechuan walked into the alley of the forbidden army's house and saw a man standing at the door of the house.
Xiao Chiye leaned against the door, holding his arms in the darkness, staring at him like a cheetah.
I don't know when the rain was mixed with snow, and I felt wet and cold.
