He has always been reluctant to see people who were officials in the same dynasty end up like this, but he is not a person who shows his kindness randomly. These people are extremely loyal to Xiao Junhan. If they cannot be persuaded, then he will not be polite. There is only one way to deal with these people.
That is, beheading after autumn.
In the past three days, Xiao Junxi had interrogated almost everyone, but she did not see Xiao Junhan.
Xiao Junhan was very arrogant at the beginning, but in the end, the quietness that could almost drive people crazy completely drove him crazy.
No matter how much he cursed, no one came out to say a word to Xiao Junhan. Even the old man who came to bring him food and water was deaf and couldn't hear what he said.
No matter how Xiao Junhan opened and closed his mouth, the deaf man would always take the bowl away at regular intervals. Don't want to eat? Then take it away and wait for the next meal. Dropped the bowl? Then the next meal will be gone.
This was repeated, and when Xie Ruzhuo came on the third day, he saw Xiao Junhan already on the verge of collapse.
The cell here is much better than the one Xie Ruzhuo stayed in in his previous life. There are no prisoners who cry and howl all day long, there are no rats and insects scurrying everywhere, and there is no nauseating musty smell.
The air here is dry and thin, and there is sunlight falling from a small window above the head, which is the only source of light in the cell.
It's just too clean and too quiet.
Xie Ruzhuo walked in and heard his own footsteps echoing in the cell. For those who were driven crazy by the silence and were highly nervous, it was like the sound of nature.
Xiao Junhan was used to hearing the old deaf man's footsteps in the past few days. When he suddenly heard such a soft voice, he sat up straight and looked at the door expectantly.
No matter who it is, he is willing to speak to him.
When Xie Ruzhuo came in, he saw Xiao Junhan's expression, as if he was expecting a lover.
She smiled and said casually, "So King Qi is so looking forward to my coming?" She didn't wait for Xiao Junhan's answer, and said to herself, "Oh, yes, I have forgotten that now that you have been cut off and demoted, you are no longer the same person. The King of Qi is even worse than a commoner."
After hearing such words, Xiao Junhan's original hope suddenly turned into resentment. He rushed forward and leaned on the cell door, trying to squeeze his hands out to grab Xie Ruzhuo, and shouted, "Bitch" People, it’s all your fault! Isn’t that right!”
No, that's not how it should be! It was obvious that Xie Ruzhuo, a bitch, should kneel at his feet, kowtow and beg for mercy, and then become his slave for the rest of his life. Such an outcome was what he wanted. But why does it become like this? He is not willing to give in!
"Xiao Junhan, are you unwilling? Let me guess what your original expectations were."
Xie Ruzhuo took a step back. Even the smell of Xiao Junhan made her feel sick, "Your original plan was that you would control the emperor, Murong Wan would control the concubines, and Shen Jingci on the outside would cooperate with you. Wait until you force the emperor. After issuing the edict, he sat firmly on the throne and let Murong Wan and Shen Jingci fight to the death. Am I right?"
Xiao Junhan's expression changed. He didn't expect that Xie Ruzhuo not only knew all about his plan, but even guessed the most secret thoughts in his heart!
That's right, the reason why he arranged for Murong Wan to enter the palace at that time was because he wanted these two women to have a share of the credit. Shen Jingci would definitely not be willing to do so. With the methods of these two women, they would definitely fight to the death. . When both of them were dying, he would reap the benefits and choose the daughter of his favorite patron to be his queen, and vigorously cultivate his own power.
But now, everything has turned into bubbles!
From now on, he can only become a prisoner, and the throne that was once only one step away from him no longer belongs to him in this life!
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Junhan's eyes seemed to have thousands of hazes that wanted to burst out of his body. He asked in a gloomy voice, "Xie Ruzhuo, are my jokes good?"
If only I could go out one day...
He must make this woman kneel at his feet and beg for mercy. He must see her sobbing, see Xie Ruzhuo in agony, and let him take whatever she wants!
Xie Ruzhuo only brought up a smile that did not reach his eyes, and said softly, "What you said is so hurtful. I originally thought that you have become a commoner, and it doesn't matter if you go out, so I want to give you an exile." There’s an opportunity.”
After she said this, Xiao Junhan was immediately ecstatic. Exile was nothing, as long as he could get out, he would have a chance to make a comeback!
But Xie Ruzhuo's words made him a little doubtful, "Are you telling the truth?"
Seeing Xiao Junhan's confused look, Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and said, "Of course it is true, but you should know that everything has conditions."
"you say!"
As soon as he heard that there were conditions, Xiao Junhan actually believed it, and he couldn't wait to say, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Xie Ruzhuo opened her red lips lightly, with a smile on her face, but her words were a little cold, "It's easy to handle, I'll trade Shen Jingci's life for yours!"
Familiar, after hearing this, Xiao Junhan didn't even think about it, and directly replied, "Yes! I agree!"
Although Xie Ruzhuo knew that he had always been ruthless, she still couldn't help feeling a little disgusted by Xiao Junhan's straightforwardness. She frowned without any trace and asked, "Don't you think about it? After all, she has been with you for so many years. Woolen cloth."
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan said without thinking, "It would be her honor to die for me. I agree to this condition. When will you let me go?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and said, "Why are you so anxious, Your Majesty? Since you promised, I should ask you to implement it."
As she said this, she clapped her hands, and two guards came out of the darkness, opened Xiao Junhan's cage, and took him out.
Then, with Xiao Junhan's expression of expectation and joy, he was taken to another secret room.
It was a cell separated by a wall from him, and the person in it was none other than Shen Jingci. She didn't know what kind of medicine was given to her, and she couldn't say anything she wanted to say. She just looked at everyone with a look of resentment.
Especially Xiao Junhan and Xie Ruzhuo.
After seeing Shen Jingci's murderous gaze, Xiao Junhan suddenly felt excited and fear spread in his heart.
The next moment, the guard pushed him in and locked the cell door again.
Xiao Junhan looked at Xie Ruzhuo in disbelief and said, "You don't mean what you say!"
There was a smile on Xie Ruzhuo's lips, but his eyes were cold, "Why don't I count? I'll trade her life for yours. You just need to do it yourself."
After saying that, she turned around and retreated, sitting on the chair and looking at the two people in the cage.
There was a roaring stove nearby, adding a bit of warmth to the cell in this midsummer day.
Xie Ruzhuo ordered someone to light a stick of incense, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and looked at the people in the cell with cold eyes, but there was a chill in his heart.
In the previous life, these were the more ways that Shen Jingci and Xiao Junhan used to humiliate themselves? Being like this in this life is really an advantage for them!
Xiao Junhan didn't dare to approach Shen Jingci at first, but after hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, she became cruel and walked over fiercely, saying coldly, "Cier, don't blame me. When I go out, I will I burned the paper for you, and I will remember you for the rest of my life!"
With that said, he opened his hands and rushed towards Shen Jingci!
It's just that the food he's eaten in the past few days has been filled with cartilage, so he doesn't have any strength at all. He pinched Shen Jingci's neck and seemed to be strong, but due to Shen Jingci's crazy resistance, he was kicked violently To the side.
Xiao Junhan was kicked away, which aroused his manly pride, and he immediately used all his strength to swing at Shen Jingci.
After a while, the appearance of the two people could be described as embarrassed.
Shen Jingci couldn't speak, so she would scratch, bite, and hit her. Xiao Junhan was even more like this. He had a firm grasp of Shen Jingci's weaknesses and always picked out those shameful places to hit.
After the stick of incense burned out, both of them were covered in bruises, with scars on their faces and necks, but neither could do anything to the other.
Shen Jingci was on the verge of exhaustion, but Xiao Junhan was still stunned, grabbing her neck and gasping, "I'll strangle you to death, strangle you to death!"
Xie Ruzhuo waved his hand and saw the guards walking in, dragging Xiao Junhan back to the original cell and locking it again.
Xie Ruzhuo stood up, looked at Shen Jingci lying motionless on the ground, and said coldly, "Isn't this a bad feeling?"
Shen Jingci's eyes moved and she wanted to speak, but she could only make a "hehe" sound. Xie Ruzhuo knew that this was mostly Wen Ruyu's fault, but she couldn't feel any sympathy for the person in front of her.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but don't worry, I won't let you die. After all, the ghosts who were killed by you haven't come to settle accounts with you yet. If you die like this, wouldn't it be too easy for you? "
After saying this, she turned around and walked towards Xiao Junhan's cell without looking at Shen Jingci.
Behind her, Shen Jingci looked at Xie Ruzhuo's back with a look of resentment, but she didn't even have the strength to resist.
She knew that from now on, this quiet and deadly cell would be her destination for the rest of her life.
And Xiao Junhan's behavior just now chilled her to the extreme!
"H-"
Shen Jingci shouted violently, but in the end she only produced a hoarse and unpleasant single verse.
After Xiao Junhan was taken to the cell, he opened the cell door with some disbelief and reluctance, and said urgently, "Don't lock me in, give me a little more time, I can kill that bitch Shen Jingci, I Certainly possible!"
But no matter how hoarse he roared, Xie Ruzhuo always looked at him indifferently.
It wasn't until Xiao Junhan finally calmed down that she turned around, took a long bunch of keys from the guard, walked towards the cell with Xiao Junhan's expectant and joyful eyes, and waved them in front of his eyes.
Xiao Junhan was so happy that she almost wanted to go forward and grab the key, but in the end, she just watched helplessly -
The key was thrown into the blazing fire, and soon it turned into a puddle of copper juice.
"No!"
Xie Ruzhuo curled his lips and smiled, the smile on his face was bright and public, "Then let's do it, never see you again."
After saying that, she turned around, lifted her skirt, and walked away gracefully.
Behind her is the raging fire in the stove. From Xiao Junhan's perspective, Xie Ruzhuo is like a phoenix bathed in fire, soaring up the steps like nine heavens, with a slim and beautiful back, and the enchanting Pingting as he walks, forming a The last strong memory in his life.
