Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 372 Shangguan Wan'er's helplessness

"Bah!" spitting out a mouthful of blood, Liu Zi glanced at Xiao Long contemptuously.

"Just use whatever tricks you have, it's impossible to get Mr. Fan to confess!"

When the top secret agents saw that Liu Zi was covered with bruises and were still so arrogant, they picked up whips and hit Liu Zi on them.

"Okay, put away the whip, it's useless against a tough guy like him."

"Yes, Director Xiao."

After the agent retreated, Xiao Long came to Liu Zi holding his nose.

After looking it up and down, I was quite shocked.

To be honest, over the years he has been in charge of the Intelligence Department, he has been responsible for not only 8,000 but also 10,000 prisoners.

There are many loyal and good people among them. These people, like the six sons, are hard-core people who would rather die than surrender.

No matter whether he was whipped or tortured, he was unwilling to say a word.

However, after many attempts, he finally gave in.

Only this Sixth Son is the most special. The iron and stick are completely useless to him.

Beauty and money were also regarded as nothing by him, which actually made him worry.

The king of Han is still waiting for him to take the six sons back, if he can't get the confession he wants before then.

It is bound to have an impact on their divorce plan.

After thinking this, Xiao Long waved impatiently.

"Go and bring Fan Yingyuan!"

"Yes!"

Two agents escorted Fan Yingyuan in. He looked haggard due to the torture.

"Fan Yingyuan, this director will give you a chance, as long as you confess that these were all instigated by Fan Xin."

"How about I ensure that your Fan family is safe and sound?"

"General Xiao, there is no need to say more. Fan Xin is a member of my Fan family, and I will not frame him."

"Also, if you arrested so many innocent people without any evidence, aren't you afraid that the court will find out and hold you accountable!"

Xiao Long seemed to have heard something funny and burst out laughing.
Pointing at Fan Yingyuan, he said: "You only have a history from the fifth rank, do you know what a spy is?
We are people close to the Queen Mother. When did the evidence come out during the investigation?
I'll give you one last chance to tell you or not! "

At the end of the sentence, his voice suddenly became stern.

"Don't think about it!"

"Okay, okay. As expected, he is from the same clan as Fan Xin. Even his personality is the same."

"Come here, take me down to be tortured. We will escort them all to the capital tomorrow!"

"this…"

Several agents looked hesitant.

"Director Xiao, the decree only asked us to arrest the six sons, not the Fan family."

"If His Highness King Yan finds out, we may not be able to live without it."

After the name of the human shadow tree, Fan Xin was famous all over the world, and he was also the first close minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It's really risky to attack his relatives.

"What are you afraid of? As long as we get the evidence, it's hard to say whether King Yan can save his life. Are we still afraid of his revenge?"

Xiao Long waved his hand nonchalantly and led the people out of the prison.

After he left, two jailers lowered Liu Zi from the torture rack.

Taken to the prison, one of the jailors suddenly took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and whispered.

"This medicine is called Hedanhong. It can make people die quickly after taking it."

"If you don't want to drag Fan Xin down, drink it before being taken to Chang'an."

Liuzi took the porcelain bottle with his trembling right hand, glanced at it, and moved his eyes to the jailer.

"Don't tell me that you were sent by His Highness King Yan."

"I know him well. He values ​​​​love and justice and would never give me poison."

The jailer sighed, took off his hat and shook his green hair.

"It's you, Shangguan Wan'er!" Liuzi's pupils condensed, and he understood everything in his heart. .

"Liuzi, you are a smart man, you should know who this concubine is here to represent."

"I hope you won't embarrass me."

Liuzi was silent for a while and said calmly: "Does His Highness King Yan know?"

"Do you think I dare to let him know?"

"Too."

Liuzi smiled bitterly, if King Yan knew about it, he would definitely come to save me at all costs.

In order to save him from getting into trouble, this bottle of poison does not have to wait until Chang'an.

I'll drink it now.

After saying this, Liuzi opened the bottle cap and drank it in one gulp.

At the end, he wiped his mouth and laughed three times.

"Although my six sons can't keep up with the prince's bravery to kill the colorful tiger."

"It's considered a sacrifice, Your Majesty! Six sons take the first step..."

Looking at Liu Zi with a black face and bleeding from his orifices, Shangguan Wan'er held her official hat in her right hand and solemnly saluted the corpse.

He murmured in his mouth.

"You are affectionate and righteous to Fan Xin, how can I let you die so easily?"

"Get some sleep first. The concubine will personally lead people to rescue you tomorrow."

Taking one last look at Liuzi's "corpse", Shangguan Wan'er hurried away wearing a hat.

……

Early the next morning, the government office of Youzhou.

"What did you say! Liuzi is dead?"

Xiao Long suddenly stood up and stared at Li Xiuyuan with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Only by catching Liuzi and forcing him to confess can he claim credit.

Now that a person is dead, what should he explain to the court and to His Highness the King of Han?

Thinking of Fan Xin's subsequent thunderous rage, Xiao Long felt a sense of fear in his heart for no reason.

"Back to Director Xiao, the jailer went to deliver food this morning and found Liuzi lying on the ground, bleeding from all his orifices and not breathing."

"The body was already cold when the official went to check it out."

Li Xiuyuan said cautiously.

"Trash, everything is trash!" Xiao Long kicked the big case over and walked directly to Youzhou Prison.

He was on every possible precaution, fearing that Liu Zi would be silenced, so he did not hesitate to send a thousand people to guard the prison.

Unexpectedly, he was still silenced.

I came to the prison full of anger and saw Liu Zi's body lying in the straw.

Xiao Long didn't say anything, he pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the jailer's stomach.

"I have ordered that all the guards who guarded the prison last night be executed. No one will be spared!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan's embarrassed figure broke in and said anxiously.
"Sorry, Director Xiao, His Highness King Yan has led an army of 100,000 to attack Youzhou City!"

"It's coming this way, let's run!"

Xiao Long's heart skipped a beat and his face instantly turned pale. He never dreamed that Fan Xin would come so quickly.

And he also led an army of 100,000 people!

At this time, there was a loud shout outside the door: People inside listen, quickly put down their weapons and come out to accept surrender, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!

After hearing these words, all the agents in the prison were sweating profusely and looked at Xiao Long in fear.

"Director Xiao, King Yan's army has surrounded Youzhou, and we can hardly fly."

"It's better to go out and surrender."

"Yes, since we are running errands for the imperial court, King Yan will not make things too difficult for us."

Xiao Long's expression kept changing.

Finally, he put down his sword and walked out of the prison.

The subordinate was right, he was the Queen Mother's personal guard, and Fan Xin's sword could not kill her.

He stopped when he saw Li Xiuyuan taking out the key and heading to the prison.

"Why don't you go out with me to accept surrender and go inside?"

Li Xiuyuan looked back at him and snorted.

"Of course I want to pick up my godmother. After all, I am also a member of the Fan family..."

Youzhou, Dalao.

Compared with the usual guards stationed there, today they were all replaced by murderous soldiers. The large Youzhou prison was surrounded by water.

"Your Highness King Yan, all the spies in Youzhou City have been disarmed and taken into custody."

"There are only a few left in the prison. Do you want me to lead my men and kill them in?"

Cao Wei asked, cupping his fists.

"No need, people have already come out."

After passing Cao Wei, Fan Xin walked towards the oncoming Xiao Long.

The latter hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "I will finally see His Highness King Yan."

"You still know my king's name, where is he?"

Fan Xin said expressionlessly

"this…"

"answer!"

"Yes!" Xiao Long gritted his teeth and said bravely.

"Because of the negligence of his humble duty, the sixth son... was poisoned to death."

With a bang, Fan Xin's face instantly turned as white as tissue paper, and his whole body shook.

He traveled day and night, hurriedly and slowly, but in the end he still failed to save Liu Zi.

A deep feeling of self-blame rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Your Majesty!"

"My lord, are you okay?"

After breaking away from the support of the generals, Fan Xin glanced at Xiao Long with red eyes and walked quickly towards the prison.

When he saw Liu Zi lying in the straw pile, his heart ached and tears welled up.

a long time.

The cold words echoed in the prison.

"The secret agents invaded and killed innocent people, causing public resentment to boil and people to be in panic all day long."

"I am commanding the king to execute them all on the spot from now on!"

The generals looked at each other and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, after all, spies are people close to the Queen Mother. Even if they make huge mistakes, they should be handed over to the court for disposal."

"You must not kill them."

"Yes, my lord, if you kill the spy, there will be rumors in the court."

"I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you!"

"Are there many people who are harmful to me?" Fan Xin picked up the six sons and walked out step by step.

Killing for life has been an unchanging principle since ancient times. Since the spy forced Liu Zi to death.

Now it's time for them to pay with their lives.

When he came to the courtyard and saw Xiao Long kneeling on the ground, Fan Xin said calmly.

“You should feel lucky that I don’t kill people.

Then walk away.

Xiao Long breathed a long sigh of relief, showing an expression of surviving the disaster.

Looking at the posture just now, he thought he was dead, but unexpectedly escaped.

However, before he could relax, a faint voice came from the wind.

"When the emperor is angry, he lays down a million corpses; when I am angry, my blood is scattered seven feet."

"In order to avoid suffering, you should commit suicide..."

Xiao Long......

Hanging the body on the flagpole, the team slowly walked towards the south slope of the mountain.

After taking a look at Liuzi's corpse, Fan Xin sighed softly.

"Don't worry, all two thousand secret agents are going down to bury you with you."

"Just stay here and guard your hometown for me."

The breeze blew by, picking up large leaves and flying in the air, seeming to respond to him.

"You are becoming more and more courageous now. You dare to kill even the deputy director of special services. Aren't you afraid of my sister's wrath?"

At some point, Shangguan Wan'er appeared next to Fan Xin and looked at Liu Zi's corpse with him.

As if he knew she would appear, Fan Xin didn't turn around.

"Do you really think I don't know what Xiao Long and Lao Er are thinking about?"

"Fan Jing, this rebellious son, went so far as to attack the Sixth Son in order to drive a wedge between me and Taiping's mother and son. I will definitely cut him into pieces when I return!"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said: "Jing'er has indeed been acting up a bit recently, but the crime will not lead to death. I will teach him a lesson when I get back."

"Are you fooling around?" Fan Xin sneered: "Dozens of good girls were killed by him, and you actually said it was all nonsense."

"Wan'er, do you really think that I, the king, dare not exterminate my relatives out of justice?" At the end of the sentence, Fan Xin's face was filled with murderous intent.

He never expected that his second son would become so violent and would kill people at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing Fan Xin murdering his son, Shangguan Wan'er said helplessly: "The sixth son is not dead, he just fell asleep. Didn't you hear him snoring?"

"Then why don't you wake up quickly?"

Taking advantage of the time to wake up the six sons, Fan Xin came to the old lady.

Grandfather and grandson were filled with emotion when they met again.

"Xiao Xin, grandma knows that you have a grudge in your heart. She blames grandma for driving you out because of her influence."

"I can't help it. Grandma really wants to make the Fan family a famous family."

"You didn't live up to your expectations at that time..."

Fan Xin smiled slightly and stopped the nagging old lady.

"Let the past go with the wind."

"I will recommend my uncle to the imperial court as the governor of Youzhou, so that the Fan family can develop and grow under his protection."

Mrs. Fan was startled: Are you leaving?

"Yes, the Fan family has made such a big mistake. It's time to plead guilty to the court."

After speaking, his eyes moved to Li Xiuyuan aside.

"I heard that you have second thoughts about becoming an official and like to recognize your godmother everywhere."

"Forget it, from today on you take off your official uniform and stay with the old lady as your godson."

Li Xiuyuan...

Just when Fan Xin and his party were driving to Chang'an with a group of prisoners from the Fan family.

Thousands of miles away in the Han Palace, a fair-looking young man was sitting in front of the case playing the strings of the piano.

The beautiful melody made the King of Han fascinated.

clang!
The soothing music suddenly stopped.

The man stood up and held his hands towards Fan Jinggong with a warm expression.

"Your Highness, this song Xiao Qiao Mingyue Ye is Xiaosheng's latest creation. I wonder if it can be heard?"

Fan Jing's face flushed and he stood up from the wine table and clapped his hands.

"A song that breaks your heart and soul. Where can I find a close friend in the world? It is not only pleasant to listen to, it is simply a fairy music on earth."

What was surprising was that after being praised like this, the man just smiled without showing any arrogance, just like a humble gentleman.

Fan Jing nodded secretly, seeing that the men Xiao Long contributed this time were much better than the previous ones.

After thinking about this, Fan Jing opened his mouth and said.

"I see that you are both talented and beautiful. You should not be an unknown person."

"I wonder what your name is?"

The young man smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, I am a young man named You Nailiang. My ancestor was You Jianguang, the Minister of War."

Fan Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

"It turns out he is You Shilang's son, but I made a mistake."

Having said this, Fan Jing put down his wine glass and raised his fingers towards You Nailiang: "Come here, I will inspect the goods."

You Nailiang took a step forward, knelt at Fan Jing's feet and kneaded his calves.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han should drink less alcohol on weekdays. How about asking Xiaosheng to take you to the palace for some deep massage?"

Hearing this, Fan Jing raised his head and glanced at him, and slapped him with an ambiguous smile!

"Hahaha, it's really delicious. Come on, help me go in. I want to enjoy your massage..."
