Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Master Song."

A voice suddenly sounded, and with the sound of footsteps approaching, the woman said in a cold, mocking tone, "Are you interrogating or extorting a confession?"

Song Xun and the others turned their heads when they heard the sound.

I saw a slender figure standing in the middle of the corridor, and the dim light and shadow cast on her shoulders, so gloomy that it couldn't suppress her color.

Burning youth, independent of the world.

Even though Gu Cheng and the others were still standing behind her, they were subconsciously ignored and only focused on her.

"Master Su."

Several other people bowed their hands and saluted, but Song Xun stared at Su Rao with a gloomy face. The last thing he wanted to see in the current scene was this person.

He loathed those eyes, and the slightly raised eyes seemed to hold a sneer forever, mocking his incompetence silently.

"My lords are polite."

Su Rao nodded slightly, staring at Song Xun intently, followed his hand to the soldering iron, and then to the bloody Li Mi, "Two quarters of an hour, heh."

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she raised her eyebrows teasingly.

It was as if an invisible slap had been slapped across the face, causing Song Xun's cheeks to hurt. He wanted to refute but was unable to speak, and the hand hanging by his side involuntarily clenched into a fist.

The sense of shame is overwhelming.

"Didn't you also ask?"

he said coldly.

Su Rao smiled lightly: "I didn't say any wild words out of my mouth."

She stabbed again, and before Song Xun could react, she looked at Li Mi. To be honest, she really didn't expect Li Mi to be so determined, and he refused to let go after a night of torture.

Who is it that makes him protect like this?

At this time, Li Mi woke up from a coma. He moved his neck with difficulty, raised his head, and saw Su Rao standing not far away along the gaps in the blood-clogged hair.

"kill……"

"Kill me, please..."

His voice was hoarse and rough, and every time he said a word, blood froth overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Seeing him like this, Su Rao's face was expressionless: "You could have suffered less."

If you say it, no one will torture her again.

Li Mi is very clear about this.

But he still shook his head with difficulty.

"Du Yong knocked on the board and heard the drum to sue the imperial court. His majesty was furious and ordered the three courts to thoroughly investigate the case. All officials involved in the case should be detained pending trial, and all Jinshi in the current department should be restrained for interrogation."

Su Rao looked at him calmly, "You know in your heart how much water there is in this scientific examination except you, and you can't hide this case."

"Why bother?"

After Li Mi froze for a long time, he lowered his head powerlessly, "I have nothing to say..."

Perhaps this behavior seems foolish to them.

But dying.

But he doesn't regret it, no matter how humble and insignificant a person is, there will be something he wants to protect...

Su Rao frowned slightly for a moment, then quickly relaxed, and turned to Gu Cheng and the others, "Let's go."

She ignored Song Xun and the others.

Even if she knew that after that, Li Mi would face harsher punishment, he made a choice, and naturally he had to bear the consequences.

After walking a certain distance, several people heard Song Xun's voice, "Wake him up, continue."

The screams sounded again.

The jailer and the others turned a deaf ear to it, and were used to it. He pointed to the last cell and said, "Master Zhou is right there."

"it is good."

Su Rao was about to go there with the package, when the jailer suddenly said, "Lord Su, you are..."

"Some everyday clothes and ointments."

"I'm afraid that's against the rules."

The jailer was a little embarrassed, "These adults were sent to prison, and it was His Majesty's personal order, so it's not easy to send things outside."

"The case is still under investigation and has not been convicted yet."

Su Rao said warmly: "It's just some small things, it doesn't affect the overall situation. If you are really worried, you should check it first."

She handed over the burden.

The jailer hesitated again and again, and whispered: "Then if the higher ups are to blame..."

"Just say it was my idea."

Although the mansions of the eight families were temporarily under the supervision of the imperial army, they did not enter the mansions to take people, so it is believed that His Majesty is not willing to kill them all.

Finding out the mastermind is the right thing to do.

So Su Rao felt that these trivial things were harmless, and she told Zhou Yin like that, because she didn't want Zhou Yin to regard her as a life-saving straw and rely too much on her.

In order to avoid any accidents and embarrassment at that time.

The jailer checked the things carefully and found that there was nothing else, so he returned the burden.

"All right."

Su Rao took the things, looked at Gu Cheng and the two of them and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After all, she carried the burden and walked forward.

The cell was dark and damp, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples, sitting on a simple stone bed, with a sad face, silent.

The official robes on his body were stripped off when he was sent to prison, leaving only the plain white undershirt, neatly tidied up, and looked passable.

"Master Zhou."

Su Rao stood outside the prison door and called out, the man looked up in surprise, and stood up unconsciously, "Are you... Su Jianling?"

This unique official robe is easy to recognize.

He still didn't know about Su Rao's promotion and sentence, and he was still wondering why she appeared here.

"it's me."

Su Rao stuffed the bundle through the gap in the railing of the prison door, "It contains the clothes and medicine that Miss Zhou dragged me to give you."

"Yin'er."

Holding the burden in his arms, Zhou Qian didn't bother to ask how the two of them knew each other, and hurriedly asked: "Su Jianling, what's going on in my house? Is Yin'er okay?"

"There is nothing wrong with the house, the imperial guards are just watching outside, and everything else remains as usual."

Zhou Yin can still go out, which shows the strength of the guard.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhou Qian muttered to himself, breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed the bag and said: "Thank you, Mr. Su, this kindness, the Zhou family will remember it in their hearts."

"If Master Zhou really wants to thank me, why don't you tell me what happened between His Majesty's setting the test and the end of the palace examination."

Zhou Qian glanced at her, subconsciously hugged the burden tightly, sighed deeply, and then narrated the events of that day.

After the topic is determined, the examiner is forbidden to step out of the palace gate.

It is even more forbidden to meet outsiders.

Including eating or going out, and not allowed to act alone, this kind of surveillance will not be canceled until the palace test is over.

After listening to it, Su Rao felt that there was really very little room for manipulation.

"Master Zhou, please rest."

She left full of worries and went straight to find Yan Yun.

Zhou Qian told her that Yan Yun had interrogated the eight of them overnight, and perhaps with him, he could get news about the others.

Yan Yun was listening to the report of the investigation from the people in the bamboo hall.

"It will take some time for the foreign candidates to investigate, but there are indeed some candidates in Beijing who are in the same situation as Li Mi. They have ordinary homework on weekdays, but they stand out in this imperial examination."

"What do I want?"

"The lower officials are all ready, here."

The master handed over the things, and saw that Yan Yun had no more orders, so he folded his hands and retreated. Yan Yun casually picked up the palace examination papers and flipped through them...

A figure walked in.
