too affectionate

Chapter 17 Now that we are fireflies, we don't have to wait for the torchlight

On the second day at court, His Majesty praised Wanyan by name.The results of the trial came out in the first case in office, and the courtiers secretly sighed in their hearts, this little girl is really capable.

After retreating from the court, Wanyan just left the palace gate and was about to get into the sedan chair to go to the Ministry of Justice, but she didn't want to be stopped by Luan Feng at the gate.

"Master Xiaoxuan." Luan Feng greeted Wanyan reluctantly, "Master Heng, please go to the prison to interrogate the prisoner immediately."

"Go again..." This time Wanyan completely lost the excitement of going to prison yesterday.The bloody and cruel scenes of yesterday are still vivid in my mind, and the impact on my heart has not diminished.The uncomfortable feeling made Wanyan not only skip dinner, but also couldn't eat breakfast no matter what.

If I really went to the Imperial Prison once, I would never want to go to a place a second time for the rest of my life.

What's more, last night, Wanyan, who didn't know how to live or die, pulled Heng Li's tiger beard and said bad things about Heng Li.Heng Li, who is narrow-minded and vengeful, will ask her to go now, maybe he wants her to watch some horrible scenes like cooking people with oil and fire.

Just thinking about Heng Li waiting for her step by step into the abyss of imperial prison with a sneer on her face, and torturing herself severely, Wanyan couldn't help shaking.

"Xuan University is a talented person with a wealth of knowledge, so you don't need to be an official to explain to you the reason why you can do things right when you are in his position." Seeing Wanyan's face full of reluctance, Luan Feng couldn't help mocking her.

"Let's go, let's go! I didn't say I didn't want to go!" Wanyan smashed the can, and looked down to see her. Even if she could hide from the first day of the junior high school, she couldn't hide from the fifteenth day.

"Master Xiaoxuan, please, our lord is already waiting for you." Luan Feng rolled his big eyes, and said "please" to the side.

Wanyan tremblingly walked to the side of the carriage, took several deep breaths, and then resolutely got on the carriage.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Heng Li was already sitting in the middle, with his head propped up and his eyes closed to rest his mind, with an oppressive and frightening aura lingering around him.Hearing someone come in, Heng Li didn't open his eyes either.

Knowing that provoking Heng Li today would be tantamount to courting death, Wanyan crept in like a thief, sat obediently in the starting position, and tried her best to reduce her sense of existence.

However, Wanyan, who could not be honest after all, began to take a restless peripheral vision within a few minutes, quietly peeking at the hat with closed eyes and resting her mind.

It is consistent to raise your legs, prop your head, and close your eyes.Unrestrained and unrestrained.

It must be very hard for Mr. Heng to work day and night every day, day and night.I don't know how long he hasn't had a good rest, so he seizes all the fragmentary time to rest his mind.Wanyan thought to herself.

As a genius girl in everyone's eyes, Wanyan knows better than anyone else how hard it is for this genius boy in everyone's eyes, and how much he spends his life to complete one thing, so that he can look like he can do everything with ease , It will come when conditions are ripe.

Heng Li, a young man who is not yet 19 years old, does not have a trace of youthful youthfulness and spirit in his body, but has an unpredictable city and a natural cruelty in his bones.Wanyan knew that no one would be born so young and mature. What exactly did he go through to become like this, Wanyan didn't know and couldn't figure it out.But she knew that it would definitely not be a beautiful and warm memory.

Thinking of this, Wanyan actually felt a little bit sorry for Heng Li, the young power minister.

"Haven't seen enough?" Heng Li said coldly without opening her eyes.

? ? ?Does this old man have three eyes? ? ?
Wanyan, who was in a daze, was shocked, raised her head stiffly, looked away, and quickly changed the topic.

"Who does Lord Heng want me to interrogate today?"

"anonymous."

"Ah...?" Wanyan asked suspiciously, but she didn't say the last part of the sentence: Are you really messing with me?
Speaking of business, Heng Li opened his eyes suddenly, looked ahead and said: "Yesterday, after He Yuan confessed that all the evidence he collected was with his brother-in-law Liu De, I immediately sent someone to look for it. I don't think that Liu De has already been arrested." He was killed at home, and all the evidence is gone. Please do an autopsy and find that he has been dead for a while."

"What!" Wanyan became nervous instantly, and anger welled up in her heart.The absence of evidence meant that all my efforts to interrogate He Yuan yesterday were in vain. "Obviously we took a lot of effort to ask, how did they know Liu De's existence? Could it be that He Yuan lied to us?"

"No, He Yuan didn't lie to us." Heng Li's expression became colder and his voice became more piercing. "They didn't know that the evidence was with Liu De at first. Instead, they killed all of He Yuan's relatives and friends and copied them. They didn't know until after they came home."

Wanyan took a deep breath, and couldn't help but be filled with anger: "Who the hell is it that can be so domineering in the capital!"

"Judging from the scene, the killers were not randomly recruited, but well-trained Lian Jiazi, who could stand up to Jin Yiwei's subordinates. Not only did they attack quickly and ruthlessly, but they also did so quietly, leaving no trace of evidence. "

"The lord wants me to interrogate..." Wanyan already knew it in her heart.

Heng Li nodded: "Some of the killers were killed on the spot by Jin Yiwei who drove away, and some of them killed themselves when they couldn't escape. Only one was captured alive before he had time to strike."

Wanyan rubbed her chin, and frowned: "Such a group of professional killers are either raised in the capital, or they come to the city for missions. The capital's government is full of eyes and ears, and people must have official documents when entering and leaving the city. What kind of method is it, to be able to manipulate such a group of people so neatly, there must be someone on top to help them withstand it."

Heng Li obviously thought of this too, with a solemn expression: "This matter is obviously not as simple as a fifth-rank official colluding with the enemy and treason, and the interests behind it are intricate. Now we can only start with the clue of He Yuan, and pull out the behemoth behind him .”

After finishing speaking, Heng Li rested her head on her hands again, and closed her bright eyes.When he spoke again, there was a trace of fatigue in his voice: "I have a hunch that a big net is not far away, in the entire capital, above the entire sky."

The storm is coming.

Will you be willing to go to the center of this storm with me?

Heng Li's heart trembled, but he, who had been confident all his life, did not dare to open his eyes after all.He was afraid of seeing her starry but distant and polite eyes.

At this moment, Wanyan's face was serious, her fists clenched tightly.

Even if I speak lightly, I am powerless to help the world.It is also necessary to put all your strength into a fight with that behemoth, and if you are more aggressive, the court will be less smoky, and the common people will be less miserable.

Now that we are fireflies, we don't have to wait for the torchlight, just burn.One day, we will be connected into a curtain of light in the darkness.

After entering the Imperial Prison, Wanyan completely ignored the fear that the Imperial Prison brought to her, and just wanted to see the person she was about to interrogate as soon as possible.

"Have you already interrogated?" Wanyan asked Luan Feng beside her.

"Reporting to Mr. Xiaoxuan, the interrogation has been completed. This person is a dead man, and he signed a life-and-death certificate with the master's family. Let us be subjected to various tortures, let alone a confession, and he didn't even say his name." Luan Feng replied.

"Got it." Wanyan twitched her small mouth and frowned slightly.To be able to keep silent under Jin Yiwei's subordinates is really a person with extreme determination.He Yuan still has a wife and children as his beliefs, and this dead man depends entirely on his loyalty.

A dead soldier is a very special kind of existence, as long as he signs a life-and-death contract with the master's family, he will not be afraid even if he is decapitated.It seems that without some special means, there is no way to get him to speak with only physical pain.

Entering the interrogation room, there was indeed a man tied to the torture rack with his upper body naked, without a trace of intact skin all over his body.

Seeing Wanyan coming in, the man laughed a few times, letting the blood gushing out of his mouth: "What? Little Hengli can't do anything with me, find a little girl to trick me." He said with disgusting eyes She looked Wanyan up and down, and then commented.

"But this chick is not bad."

Luan Feng clenched his fist, and was about to step forward with the knife.Although she and Wanyan had constant quarrels on weekdays, she knew in her heart how important Wanyan was to Heng Li's heart, and she absolutely couldn't tolerate someone who slandered her master like this.

But before Luan Feng stepped out, he was stopped by Heng Li with a calm expression.

Wanyan chuckled, and accepted the disgusting compliment generously: "Thank you for your compliment." As she spoke, she flipped her slender fingers deftly, and seven or eight silver needles flew out of Wanyan's hand again, pricking them into the on that person.

The man didn't seem to feel it, and snorted nonchalantly.

"Except for Mrs. Heng and Luan Feng, the rest of the people can step back." Wanyan, who has always been cheerful and cheerful, ordered in a cold voice, "Close the door."

When there were only four people left in the room, he walked up to Heng Li and Luan Feng, and spread out his right hand, which contained two small pills.

"What is this?" Luan Feng's face was full of vigilance, and he didn't reach out to grab it.

"I'll explain to you later, you eat first." Wanyan stretched her hand forward as she spoke.

"I don't want it!" Luan Feng turned his head away, with rejection written all over his face, "What if you poison us?"

"Am I out of my mind, brother? In your Imperial Prison, you brazenly poisoned the nephew of the Jinyiwei Commander, the Jinyiwei's official and His Majesty's confidant Mr. Heng? Am I already so smart in your heart?..." Wan Yan laughed angrily at Luan Feng's brain circuit.

Before Luanfeng snorted coldly, Heng Li took a pill from Wanyan's hand without making a sound, and took it without hesitation.

"My lord! You!" Luan Feng was in a hurry, wishing he could open Heng Li's mouth and take out the pill.

"Eat." Heng Li ordered.

Luan Feng didn't believe in anything, and refused to accept anything, so he just accepted Heng Li.Seeing that Heng Li had given the order, he had no choice but to take the pill like a smashed jar, and swallowed it heroically as if he was going to die.

"That's right." Wanyan nodded in satisfaction, and then snapped her fingers with her left hand. Instantly, the entire interrogation room was shrouded in a red mist of blood, and the feeling of oppression was several times that of the prison itself.

"What kind of tricks are you playing?" The prisoner on the rack was shocked, but his mouth was still stubborn.

Wanyan was already sitting on the side of the table at this moment, and said calmly: "I want to invite you to watch the show."
