Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 378
That's why Xue Lin tried to extract a confession from him in order to get the list.

But Ye Jingyuan endured all the torture in the past six months until the existence of Huaping was discovered.

"I see." Nan Zhen nodded.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Ye Jingyuan finally couldn't help asking what was in his heart, "Huaping she..."

"She's safe now, don't worry."

Xiao Rongxi's people found Huaping's residence first, and Nan Zhen offered a plan to put herself in danger. Before Xue Lin's men arrived, she pretended to be Huaping and went in. The real Huaping is now in Cai's house.

Ye Jingyuan's hanging heart finally let go.

He knew that he didn't know people clearly, that he was not good at doing things, and he shouldn't be tempted by anyone.

With a position like the governor's, he can't have any weaknesses. He thought he could protect the painting screen, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the other party.

Fortunately, His Majesty's people arrived first, otherwise, if Xue Lin really tortured her, she would only lose another innocent life.

"If there is a chance to get out alive, I will apologize to His Majesty again."

Nan Zhen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Ye Jingyuan shook his head, "I was given medicine, I don't know if it's a threat or the real poison."

Although there is no reaction in his body yet, with Xue Lin's temperament, when he tells the whereabouts of the hidden pile, it should be the time for his death.

Although they were not in a hurry to kill him, it was impossible for him to get out of here alive.

Ye Jingyuan chuckled suddenly, "I don't know how long I can live, but I have no regrets to be loyal to His Majesty one more time before I die. I hope the girl will tell His Majesty, please rest assured, the news about the hidden pile will come soon." I won't utter a single word."

Xue Lin was right, his bones were harder than a branding iron, and he was fearless in life, so why should he be afraid of death?

There seemed to be oceans in the half-cloudy eyes, and there was even a hint of relief.

Nan Zhen was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly asked, "You don't want me to rescue you?"

Ye Jingyuan turned to look at her, and shook his head, "This is a big deal. If I leave here, Xue Lin will know that there are other forces in Pengcheng involved, and it will be difficult to uproot them."

Even if there are only a few people left, that is a hidden danger.

So he was already ready to die.

It is very worthwhile to die in exchange for a peaceful city.

The cell was very quiet, not a single sound of wind could be heard. His tone was very soft, but it sounded like a thousand weights in Nan Zhen's ears, which moved her.

"Don't worry," she said seriously, "Your Majesty and I will do our best to protect you."

Ye Jingyuan looked at her serious expression, didn't say anything, just clasped his fists heavily.

"By the way," Nan Zhen took out a piece of paper from the interlayer of her sleeve and handed it to him, "When they try to force a confession next time, you can say the address on it."

Ye Jingyuan looked at it, and was a little puzzled. These are not hidden posts, "This...fake is probably easy to see through."

Nan Zhen smiled, "It's okay, we just want to see who Xue Lin is."

There are four addresses written on it, two of which are where Xiao Rongxi's hidden piles are located, but all of them have been transferred now, and the other two are the places where the people of Chen Wang and Yu Xinghong have appeared.

These two are the biggest forces in the court.

"understood."

As soon as Ye Jingyuan finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside. He quickly hid the note and stared at the door without blinking.

When Xue Lin stepped in, he happened to meet his gaze.

Seeing the anger and sorrow in his eyes, Xue Lin curled his lips, "It seems Dudu Ye and this Huaping girl had a good chat."

"Xue Lin!" Ye Jingyuan growled, glaring at me, "What are you trying to do to me, bullying a weak woman is nothing!"

He took a step forward and protected the person next to him behind him. Even though he was seriously injured, he still didn't shake his figure.

Xue Lin looked at his movements, and the interest in his eyes became more and more intense, "It seems that the old saying is true, a hero is saddened by a beauty, and even the governor is not immune."

He glanced at Nan Zhen, and sighed, "It's true that such a delicate body can't bear severe punishment, so why not cooperate with the governor and tell me everything you know, so that Huaping girl can also avoid the pain of flesh and blood. "

Ye Jingyuan didn't speak, just clenched his teeth, and the hands hanging on both sides gradually clenched into fists, the veins on the neck were exposed, as if extremely tangled.

Seeing the opportunity, Xue Lin prepared another dose of strong medicine.

He raised his hand to summon two guards, and ordered them to grab Nan Zhen and bring her to the erected torture device, "I will give the governor one last chance."

"You let her go!"

As Ye Jingyuan said that, he was about to rush forward, but two other people held him down.

His martial arts are not bad, but now he is at the end of his strength, there is no way he can break free.

"I'll count to three, the governor needs to think about it," Xue Lin looked at Nan Zhen, "Her life is in your hands."

As he spoke, he reached out and took down an iron rod full of barbs, and gradually approached Nan Zhen without leaving Ye Jingyuan's eyes, "Three, two...one."

Seeing that Ye Jingyuan still didn't want to let go, he slapped Nan Zhen violently with his arm.

"and many more--!"

When the iron rod was about to touch Nan Zhen's shoulder, Ye Jingyuan suddenly said.

Xue Lin was startled for a moment, then stopped his movements, his attention was completely attracted by Ye Jingyuan, and he also missed the coldness that flashed in Nan Zhen's eyes.

It was the first time in this life that someone forced a confession.

fresh.

The barb stopped less than three inches away from Nan Zhen, Xue Lin put down his hand and looked at him with interest.

Ye Jingyuan's lips moved slightly, and after a long while, he asked as if he lost his strength, "Did I tell you that you can let her go?"

"nature."

Xue Lin didn't hesitate at all, "As long as the governor cooperates seriously, I promise to treat this Huaping girl with delicious food and drink, but if the governor has other thoughts, such as lying, she may suffer some pain." what."

"You know, I have many ways to torture people, the governor should think about it carefully."

Ye Jingyuan took a deep breath, looked at Nan Zhen, and turned to Xue Lin after a while, "No. [-], Wuliu Lane, east of the city."

Every word seemed to take a lot of energy from him.

Xue Lin raised his eyebrows and signaled his subordinates to do it.

"It's like this early, how could there be such things?" He threw the iron bar aside in satisfaction, turned and walked out, and ordered, "Take Huaping girl down and treat her well."

"Yes."

The guard dragged Nan Zhen out, Nan Zhen pretended to struggle twice, exchanged glances with Ye Jingyuan, and followed the guard's force to leave.

It wasn't until the iron door closed again that Ye Jingyuan heaved a sigh of relief and sat down slowly.

Nan Zhen was taken to the second floor of Qiushui Pavilion. There were people in both bright and dark places, and she couldn't even leave the door.

In order not to startle the snake, Xiao Rongxi's people only guarded the periphery and did not approach unless Nan Zhen took the initiative to send a signal for help.
