Your Majesty, the General has long had deep-rooted love for you

Chapter 16 Dungeon
"Princess!" From the garden, Fu Qingye took the opportunity to slip out.

Su Jiu looked at the haggard man in front of him, and nodded slightly, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you...how are you doing?" Fu Qingye's eyes flashed inexplicable emotions, and he didn't see the original arrogance at all. Instead, he looked like an abandoned puppy waiting for his master's love and affection.

If it is said that she is not moved, it is impossible, after all, Su Jiu has loved her all his life.It's just... the current Su Jiu doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

"This hall is naturally good, Fu Zhuangyuan. Now that you are a guest of Princess Dehua, I hope you will recognize your duty in the future and stop blocking this hall." After finishing speaking, Su Jiu looked away at his eyes and turned his head. leave.

"Why are you here?" Once there was a garden, Su Jiu looked at Liang Xiao sitting on the stone bench with arms folded, with a serious expression on his face.

"What? Did the minister delay His Royal Highness's private meeting with his lover?" Liang Xiao's words were sour and jealous, not at all like the guards with swords next to His Majesty, but rather like a little daughter-in-law who went to catch a rape.

Su Jiu didn't show mercy at all, and slapped the other party on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about! He is the servant of Princess Dehua, don't rely on anyone else."

"Then Your Highness...you don't like him now?" Liang Xiao's tone was tentative.

Su Jiu nodded, "Nonsense, next time I let the hall hear that you have related me and Fu Qingye, I will... I will..."

"What about you?" Liang Xiao couldn't wait.

"I won't talk to you anymore, and you don't even want to enter the Princess Mansion. I will write on the gate: Liang Xiao and dogs are not allowed to enter!"

"Hey, it's a deal!" Hearing Su Jiu's words, Liang Xiao was not as angry as he could have imagined, but smiled like a husky, and left in a hurry.

Su Jiu had a question mark on his face...

The donation meeting this time was very successful, and more than [-] taels of silver were raised. Su Jiu told Baoqin to arrange the silver taels, and asked Liang Xiao to return to the palace, and then went to the wing.

"Miss Zuo, I'm late!" Su Jiu cupped his hands and apologized, "This time the accident was caused by the negligence of our hall, which caused you to be injured."

Zuo Qingtang was originally from a family of military generals. Although she is a woman, she has a boldness that ordinary men don't have. It’s righteousness, even though we are women, we still use you as an example.”

"Miss Zuo doesn't mind!" Zuo Qingtang didn't twitch, and Su Jiu went straight in. "No matter what, this matter was started by the Princess House. I don't know if Miss Zuo can agree to let the hall interrogate together."

Zuo Qingtang raised his eyebrows, and his slightly heroic face was a little disbelieving, "Your Highness, interrogating assassins is not a good thing, not to mention that the cell is too messy, princess, you should not be so humble!"

Su Jiu also knew that Zuo Qingtang's words were cryptic enough, probably not only because of the filth of the cell, but more importantly, the punishment used on the assassin was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"This hall is not afraid, Miss Zuo, what are you afraid of!" Su Jiu's expression did not change. "What's more, this hall doesn't even know the people behind the scenes when such a thing happened in the princess mansion!"

"In this case, the Ninth Princess, please!"

Su Jiu followed the carriage of General Zuo's mansion to Zuo's mansion, and made many detours from Zuo Qingtang to the private prison of Zuo's mansion.

"I didn't expect such a place to exist in the dignified Zuo Mansion." Su Jiu sighed.

"Father has a heavy responsibility in the capital, and this private prison is also passed by His Majesty. You can't just go to Dali Temple for everything!" Zuo Qingtang smiled, and he didn't feel that Su Jiu was being led here. What's wrong here.

Su Jiu nodded, watching Zuo Qingtang light a candlestick and walk towards the dungeon.

Thanks to Fu Qingye's blessing, Su Jiu went to the prison of Dali Temple in his previous life.The environment here is more than that of the prison in Dali Temple.As far as the eye can see, there are instruments of torture everywhere, and there are some screams that seem to be nothing.

Because I stayed in this environment for a while in my previous life, and came to the prison again.Su Jiu remained calm.

Zuo Qingtang, on the other hand, was slightly surprised when he saw Su Jiu's calm face.

He thought that a delicate and expensive young lady like Su Jiu would turn pale with shock when she saw this scene, and shouted.

"These people are..." Su Jiu pointed to the prisoners passing by in the cell.

"There are spies from other countries, and there are some vicious criminals." Zuo Qingtang explained, "The prisoners in Dali Temple are all economic criminals or civil criminals. They are not very destructive, and ordinary guards are enough. But the prisoners here, there are no criminals." For a simple character, His Majesty wants to put it in the General's Mansion and take care of it!"

"General Zuo's task is arduous, and with General Zuo in Beijing, we, the royal family, can sleep peacefully!"

"Ninth Princess, you and I think differently!" Zuo Qingtang smiled, and his eyes were full of probing.

"Oh? What's the difference?" Su Jiu relaxed, "You didn't think that the main hall would cry and be scared away when you came to this dungeon, did you?"

"That's what it means!" Zuo Qingtang didn't deny it, and there was still some disappointment in his eyes, "When I was young, I also brought the girls from Beijing to the dungeon behind my father's back, but they didn't say they came in, they just saw the scene at the door, I'm so scared that my legs and feet are weak, and I won't play with me in the future!"

Hearing Zuo Qingtang's words, Su Jiu only felt vaguely impressed. When he was a child, he seemed to have heard someone tell him that there was a big man-eating hole in the Zuo Mansion, and all disobedient children would be eaten. Zuo Qingtang was still sad for a long time. Unexpectedly, the big hole refers to this dungeon.

During the conversation, Su Jiu and Zuo Qingtang had arrived at the cell where the assassin was held.

The assassin's hands were tied to the wooden stakes, and during the two short hours of the auction, there was no good skin on his body. It can be seen that the guards of the Zuo Mansion must have sent him to the cell and started interrogating him.

"Miss!" The leader of the prison is a young man with a long breath and a silent walk, and he is a master who cannot be underestimated.After asking Zuo Qingtang the salute, he looked at Su Jiu who was at the side, full of vigilance.

Zuo Qingtang said "Yes", "This is the Ninth Princess of the current dynasty, don't worry about this assassin, join me in the interrogation."

"Heh!" There was a trace of disdain in the man's tone, "Don't worry about the assassin, the Ninth Princess must be a guilty conscience!"

After interrogating the assassin for a long time, all the punishments that should be used have been exhausted. The assassin insisted that Su Jiu sent him to assassinate the eldest lady, not to mention that the eldest lady happened in her princess mansion. Who knows what the nine princesses kept thought.

"Princess Nine, Yi Chuan didn't mean that..." Zuo Qingtang was afraid that Su Jiu would get angry, so he quickly explained.

Su Jiu didn't get angry, but just patted Zuo Qingtang's hand reassuringly, signaling that she was fine.
