I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 18 Kou Huairen Was Wronged

After Xin Zhao announced the matter, he left the Imperial Garden with the queen.

Those concubines who survived were safe and sound. When the emperor and queen left, they found that their feet were so frightened that their feet went limp, and their clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Tonight, it seems like I have gone to hell.

At night, Xin Zhao naturally stayed in Changle Palace.

The two of them "tasted" it for the first time, and it was not inevitable that they would have a good time.

The next day, Xin Zhao didn't wake up leisurely until the sun was high.

As for the early dynasty, it doesn't matter whether a puppet emperor goes or not.

Xin Zhao returned to his palace after having breakfast with Su Qingyu.

The power is still on the sidelines, and at this time, it is not the time to immerse yourself in tenderness.

Yesterday's Yong'an Palace and the Imperial Garden incident caused the entire palace to be in turmoil.

From the concubines to the palace people, they were all terrified of the emperor's thunderous methods, and they dared not think otherwise.

After those authoritarian eunuchs were cleaned up, Xichang also arranged for his own staff in time.

The palace is completely under the control of Xin Zhao.

The harem dealt with many concubines, and the power to manage the sixth palace was given to the queen, and her position as queen was officially worthy of the name.

Taiji Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

Zhao Xin was discussing various matters with Liu Muzhi when Xichang spies suddenly came to report that the King of Beihai had rebelled.

After hearing this, Xin Zhao didn't feel much shock in his heart.

Just sighed, what should come has finally come!
Now, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings is officially assembled.

Anyway, he can't intervene in this matter now, the rebellion is handled by Cui Cen and Nan Cang.

In the original book, since the Hunjun was able to survive the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, it means that the threat of these seven rebellious forces is not great.

Nan Cang's ability to suppress him also proved from the side that his ability is indeed very strong.

In his eyes, this rebellion might just be a small fight.

What Xin Zhao cares about is whether there is a possibility that Cui can get a share of the blood that was shed by the Nan family in order to let Nan Cang send troops to suppress the rebellion.

The spy who knelt on one knee said again, "Your Majesty, the East Factory cleverly set up a name, colluded with Cui Cen, and framed Zhongliang. The person who was framed was former court lieutenant Kou Huairen."

Kou Huairen?
Xin Zhao felt that the name was very familiar when he first heard it, and then suddenly remembered who it was.

Kou Huairen is a very important character in the original book.

This person hates evil like an enemy, and is loyal and loyal.

As a court lieutenant in charge of justice, he is even more capable of making good decisions.

With a stern and selfless face and a godlike resolution of cases, he seems to be the embodiment of Bao Qingtian.

Because of his strict style of impartial law enforcement, although he won high praise from the people, he offended many officials.

Especially the Cui family.

Cui Cen wanted to get rid of him, so he teamed up with Wang Jin to frame him.

Kou Huairen was dismissed from office and imprisoned unjustly.

The position of Tingwei of Jiuqing also fell into the hands of Cui Cen's eldest son, Cui Zhihan.

In the original book, Nan Cang and Kou Huairen even make friends.

Because of Nan Cang's rescue, Kou Huairen was not framed to death by a traitor, but was only sentenced to exile on the frontier.

On the road to exile, Kou Huairen was rescued by the protagonist, and became his right-hand man, making suggestions, comparable to Liu Zhixiao.

Xin Zhao did not expect that this time period was actually the time when Kou Huairen was being slandered and suffering from prison.

He was worrying that there would be no opportunity to deal with Wang Jin, so the matter of Kou Huairen now is an opportunity.

Besides, with such a good minister, how can Xin Zhao surrender to the protagonist, the future enemy?

Zhao Xin hit the table angrily, and said to Liu Muzhi in a deep voice: "Kou Huairen, I have heard his name for a long time, he is an upright and capable minister.

Unexpectedly, he was framed by a traitor!

I want to personally pick him up and avenge his injustice! "

Xin Zhao's tone seemed determined, but in fact there was a questioning intent in his words.

Liu Muzhi frowned slightly, then turned to relax and nodded slightly.

With Liu Muzhi's affirmation, Zhao was confident and summoned Li Cunxiao hurriedly, ordering him to take someone with him to go to Tingwei Mansion to pick him up.

……

Tingwei Mansion.

In the imperial prison, the light is dim, damp and cold.

In the depths of the prison, the sound of whipping and cursing could be faintly heard.

In the torture room, various instruments of torture were placed on the shelves on both sides, each of which was stained with solidified and blackened blood.

A tall and thin middle-aged man was hung on a wooden frame.

The jailer swung his whip and whipped it hard. The whip was covered with barbs, and when the whip was pulled down, even the skin and flesh were torn out, causing severe pain.

The sound of the whip has been dyed red by blood, and the ragged prison clothes of the tortured person are also soaked red by blood.

The smell of blood filled the torture chamber.

Ting Wei Zuo Ping Ding Guangjian cocked his legs and ate melon seeds leisurely, admiring the torture being carried out in front of him.

The man hanging on the torture rack was in ragged clothes, with horrific scars all over his body, which was shocking.

Ding Guangjian saw that he was silent with his head bowed, and shouted, "Wash him awake before continuing to beat him!"

They all passed out, what's the point of being tortured?
A ladle of ice-cold salt water was mercilessly poured over, and severe pain came from the wound, which woke up the unconscious person.

Ding Guangjian smiled slyly, looked proudly at Kou Huairen who was panting in pain, and sneered.

"Master Kou, does this feel good?
Hmph, in the past, you were so high above, how majestic and majestic you were!

Now that Feng Shui is taking turns, my lord probably didn't expect that he would have today, right?
Daren, you should confess your sin quickly, so you will suffer less, right?

You are my former Shangguan, seeing you suffer really makes me feel uneasy. "

Ding Guangjian said that he was uneasy, but his eyes were full of gloating.

Kou Huairen raised his head with difficulty, his disheveled hair covered his pale face, revealing only a pair of cold and mocking eyes.

"Bah! A traitorous lackey...I will die a terrible death!"

This Ding Guangjian was a subordinate he single-handedly picked up, and because he trusted him, he allowed him to take over the Imperial Prison.

Kou Huairen thought he was kind to him, but he never thought that he would betray him and help the traitor Cui Cen and the eunuch Wang Jin to frame him.

Ding Guangjian shook his face, got up and threw the melon seeds in his hand on the ground, his eyes were dark and ferocious.

He waved his hand to order the whipped jailer to retreat, and walked slowly to the burning charcoal basin.

He picked up the iron that had been baked to red, and waved it in front of Kou Huairen.

Ding Guangjian sneered, "It seems that Mr. Kou still can't recognize the form! It's already this time, why don't you plead guilty?"

"Subordinates give you a slow taste?"

Kou Huairen spat on him a mouthful of blood.

Ding Guangjian was annoyed, and with a sullen face, he resolutely poked the iron brand at Kou Huairen's chest.

"what--!"

The shrill and painful screams echoed in the execution room.

The more painful the screams, the happier Ding Guangjian laughed.

"Master Kou, how does this taste?"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha--"

……

The gate of the imperial prison.

The jailer on duty was chatting when he suddenly heard the singing of "The Emperor is coming".

Just when everyone thought they were hearing hallucinations, a group of black armored soldiers surrounded Xin Zhao in a dragon robe and appeared in everyone's sight.

All the jailers came to their senses and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Take me to see Kou Huairen!" Xin Zhao said in a deep voice.

These jailers have never seen the emperor, and at this moment under He Helongwei, they can only obey instinctively.

"Yes, yes... Kou Huairen is in the execution room... being interrogated by Mr. Ding."

When Xin Zhao heard this, his face turned cold instantly.

The jailer who led the way couldn't help but flinched, and immediately didn't dare to say anything more, and quickened his pace to lead the way.

As soon as he got outside the execution room, he heard shrill and painful screams from inside.

Xin Zhao walked quickly.

The moment he turned into the execution room, he saw the bloody victim on the rack.
