Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 681 Su Xiaojiu, Why Are You Crying?
He was very attentive, but Su Jiu was indifferent.

After the carriage traveled for a while, Su Jiu suddenly said, "Have the nobles of the family who were suppressed by Xiao Tingchen returned to their posts?"

Rong Zheng: "Yes. Except for the dozen or so aristocratic families who were killed by him, all others have been reactivated. Xiao Tingchen's methods are ruthless. In the short few months he has been in power, he has promoted many children from poor families and occupied the entire family. He took over various important official positions in the imperial court. The aristocratic family was squeezed out, and the resentment was increasing day by day. It was only a matter of time before he fell from power. However, those poor children cared about him quite a bit, and they heard that even if he was dismissed, they would still run around, as if they wanted to avenge him. "

Su Jiu hugged the paper bag tightly.

She didn't know these things in the court, and she didn't know that after Xiao Tingchen killed the family, he promoted countless children from poor families.

In my mind, the winter in Jinling that year appeared inexplicably.

They knelt in front of the tombstone of the head of the house, Si Dusu, and Xiao Tingchen was rarely serious. He said:

——If this world does not satisfy him, we will destroy this world for him and build the Great Harmony he yearns for.If the people are dull and numb, we will spread the enlightenment for him, plum blossoms are proud of the cold, spring wind turns into rain, and he will not die in vain.

——I would like to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations.

She always thought that that dog man was blinded by profit and had already forgotten his original intention.

But now it seems...

Is everything he did actually destroying the nobles of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City?
He wanted those poor children who passed the scientific examination with their real talents and knowledge to also sit in real official positions.

He wants to change the world where the rich are in power...

It's just that his methods are too cruel.

There was an indescribable feeling in the girl's heart.

While thinking about it, the carriage stopped outside the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Rong Zheng got out of the car and reached out to her, "Sister Su."

Su Jiu ignored him and got out of the car by himself.

Rong Zheng led her towards the water prison, with a gentle tone, "He has suffered a lot these past two days. Sister Su, don't feel bad when she sees it. Don't blame me for being cruel. I also followed orders to get his signature as soon as possible. It’s nothing more than a written confession.”

Su Jiu was silent.

She knew what would happen to Xiao Tingchen if he fell into Rong Zheng's hands.

only……

I don't know whether to call him deserve it, or to say sorry.

The water prison was built in the deepest part of the prison.

Rong Zheng led her through the dark and damp corridor, and stopped in front of the cell door.

The head of the cell opened the heavy iron door, and a strong smell of blood immediately rushed to his face.

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "I'll go in with Sister Su."

Su Jiu: "No need."

"Teacher Zhao was very angry when he learned that I let Sister Su go in alone. The Rong family and the Zhao family are not in a cooperative relationship now, and I dare not ask him to find out my fault." Rong Zheng raised his hand, "Sister Su, please."

Su Jiu understood very well that Rong Zheng wanted to go in with her on purpose.

He wanted to use this to humiliate Xiao Tingchen.

The girl pulled back her skirt and stepped into the water prison.

Torches on all sides illuminate the dungeon.

Xiao Tingchen's hands and feet were still bound by iron chains, and his lower body was completely submerged in the water.

He bowed his head, his long unkempt hair covering his pale face.

The naked upper body was covered with old and new whips, which was shocking at first glance.

The pool is full of blood and filthy!

He has never been so depressed!
Su Jiu's breathing became tense, "Xiao Tingchen..."

The man didn't seem to hear.

"Xiao Tingchen..."

Su Jiu covered his small mouth, his voice was hoarse, with a bit of crying.

But the man still didn't respond.

Su Jiu became anxious, and suddenly cried and shouted, "Xiao Tingchen!"

The chains shook.

The dog man seemed to finally hear her calling, and barely raised his head.

His handsome fair face was splattered with blood, he grinned like a monster in the firelight, "I'm not dead, Su Xiaojiu, why are you crying?"

He was suffering from unforgettable pain.

But still can laugh.

Su Jiu's little face was flushed red, because of the tears, it was like a delicate peony after a storm, which was very pitiful.

She held on to the lace of the skirt tightly, not in the mood to joke with him at all.

Rong Zheng said casually: "Sister Su came at a good time, I would like you to persuade Brother Huaijin to plead guilty as soon as possible. In addition, I also want to know that he hid the soldier amulets of the Shenwu Battalion and the Imperial Guard in the where."

He raised the military talisman, Su Jiu covered his face with his sleeve, and quietly looked at Xiao Tingchen.

The dog man was still calm, "I said before Xie Rongjing sent troops to attack Dongli Kingdom, I had already handed over all the soldier talismans to him. If Mr. Rong wants to find the soldier talismans, just go to the battlefield and ask Xie Rongjing for them."

It will take half a month to start from Chang'an to Dongli, even if you hurry up.

One to one to go, is a month.

Rong Zheng is not a fool, he knows Xiao Tingchen is delaying time.

He can't wait that long, he must get the soldier talisman as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!

In his opinion, the only person Xiao Tingchen could entrust with the military talisman was Su Jiu.

He couldn't force Su Jiu to confess, but he could force Xiao Tingchen to confess.

The man in white clothed in snow nodded indifferently, "It seems that Brother Huaijin is still unwilling to tell the truth... It's okay, I have plenty of ways to make you speak the truth. Come here."

Two guards dragged Xiao Tingchen ashore from the pool.

A furnace of charcoal was burning in the corner of the water prison, and a few long soldering irons were buried in it, the ends of which had already burned red.

Rong Zheng brushed off his sleeves, "All the prisoners who are sent to Dali Temple will have to be tattooed. This officer thought of his friendship with Brother Huaijin, so he didn't want to do it so badly, but after so many days of extorting confessions, Huai Brother Jin has always been unwilling to plead guilty, let alone reveal the location where the soldier talisman is hidden, which really annoys me..."

Su Jiu was stunned.

The tattooing punishment in Daqi State is to use a hot iron to brand various characters on the prisoner's face, and then paint the wound with non-fading ink to make the tattoos vivid forever, as a humiliation and punishment to the prisoner.

Does Rong Zheng want to...

On the other side, Xiao Mansion.

In the early summer afternoon, the sky was dark.

In the small attic in the backyard, Xue Ling stood alone behind the flower window, quietly looking into the distance.

She held a branch of white gardenia in her hand, which was neatly trimmed and exuded a sweet fragrance in the dull air.

Footsteps came from behind.

She didn't look back, "After so many years, you are here again."

"Should I call you the Crown Princess, or Aunt Xue?"

Xue Ling played with Bai Zhizi, "I don't know, should I call you Master Sikong, or Dean Sikong?"

"The past is like clouds and smoke. The palace change 22 years ago has probably been forgotten by others. But I have not forgotten it, and I believe the Crown Princess has not forgotten it either." Sikong Chen strolled to her side and looked at the distant scenery with his hands behind his back. Come here to ask for something."

He still wears a large snow-white Confucian robe, and his pale hair is meticulously tied on the top of his hair with jade hairpins. Although his brows and eyes are kind, when you look closely, you can see the murderous intent and coldness in his eyes.

Xue Ling said seriously: "As long as there is revenge, Cheng Cheng will be driven by the emperor's teacher."

Sikong Chen smiled slightly.

The wind blew up in the courtyard, and the fallen leaves were rolled up, desolate and lonely.

The sound of the wind covered up Sikongchen's whispers and swallowed up that meticulous scheme.
