I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 25 Compromise
Prison, punishment room.

It was the same place where Kou Huairen was detained yesterday, but the person who was about to be tortured and the person who was being interrogated were changed.

Cui Zhihan ordered someone to tie Liu Muzhi to the blood-stained torture rack. Seeing his gentle appearance, delicate skin and tender flesh, he sneered triumphantly.

"Liu Muzhi, don't expect that little emperor to come and save you. I will let you experience life as bad as death!"

After hearing the news of Wang Jin's accident yesterday, his father actually scolded him tonight.

The reason made Cui Zhihan even more annoyed, because his father felt that he had messed up with Cao Xiong.

As a result, Cao Xiong took refuge in the little emperor and assisted him in dealing with Wang Jin.

His father's accusation made him very unhappy, and at the same time, he also disliked the little emperor who had become more and more rampant in the past two days, including of course the few people who worked for him.

Especially Cao Xiong, who dared to betray their Cui family, causing him to be reprimanded by his father, when the time comes to catch that guy, he will have to cramp his skin to relieve his hatred!

But now that his father has asked him to investigate Liu Muzhi's involvement in politics, he will let Cao Xiong go for a while.

The same goes for torturing Liu Muzhi first, since they belong to the little emperor anyway.

Liu Muzhi was imprisoned, but he didn't show any signs of panic. He was as calm and calm as if he had been invited into his house for tea by Cui Zhihan.

Seeing him so calm, Cui Zhihan couldn't help feeling angry.

"Are you not afraid at all?!"

Liu Muzhi smiled lightly: "Even if I am afraid, Master Cui will give up the execution?"

Cui Zhihan sneered: "No way!"

"Then why bother?"

"..." Cui Zhihan gritted his teeth, "You bastard! Someone, bring me the iron whip!"

Seeing Cui Zhihan's angry look, a confidant beside him reminded him in a low voice.

"Eldest son, Master Xiang told me not to let him die. Let him suffer and just teach the emperor a lesson."

"I have my measure!"

The jailer who executed the sentence brought a whip, which looked somewhat similar to the weapon used by Wan Chao, and the body of the whip was barbed with steel needles.

One can imagine how terrifying it would be if a whip was drawn down.

"Hit me!" Cui Zhihan ordered, and the jailer waved his whip——

"Stop!" The yell sounded like a bell, with an undeniable majesty, interrupting the jailer's movements.

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly when he saw the person appearing at the door of the punishment room, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Cui Zhihan turned his head and looked, his face suddenly became stiff and ugly.

"You..." How could he appear here? !
Nan Cang strode into the execution room, and glanced at Cui Zhihan coldly and displeased.

"Your father is the prime minister, but he didn't teach you a little bit of etiquette?" Nan Cang glanced at him up and down, and said displeased. "You little Tingwei, you don't even have the courtesy to see this Taiwei?"

He usually doesn't care much about his official position, but this guy is Cui Cen's son.

He didn't like Cui Cen, and when he saw the Cui family, he would criticize him even if he didn't.

Cui Zhihan's cheek muscles trembled, his face turned green and pale, but he still bent down and saluted.

"...The lower officer has met the Taiwei."

Cui Zhihan scolded Nancang old man hundreds of times in his heart, if it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation, how could he put up with this old man? !

Nan Cang gave a faint "hmm" and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Let him go, I want to take him away."

Cui Zhihan flatly refused: "Master Taiwei, Liu Muzhi violated the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. I ordered him to be interrogated. Even if you are a Taiwei, you have no right to intervene in judicial matters!"

The last time Kou Huairen was caught here, even Nan Cang, who was armed with a heavy soldier, was not qualified to interfere with Ting Wei's affairs.

But now he ran here regardless and let him release him?
Is this old man so eager to give his allegiance to the little emperor?
Before his father said that the old man Nancang was not loyal to the king and only loyal to Qin, how he looked at it now felt that he was willing to work for the little emperor.

Nan Cang smiled coldly, fighting on the battlefield for many years, even the aura around him seemed to be bloody and evil.

As soon as his face darkened, even Cui Zhihan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Today, the old man is going to take him away. If you refuse to accept it, let Cui Cen come to me personally to ask for him."

Nan Cang's attitude was tough, completely ignoring Cui Zhihan's face, and directly took Liu Muzhi out of the imperial prison.

"Thank you Taiwei for saving me this time."

Liu Muzhi saluted and thanked him.

Nan Cang didn't care much: "Mr. Liu doesn't need to thank you for the effort."

From Liu Muzhi, I learned that Li Cunxiao, the apprentice he recommended, is also a little troublesome.

After Nan Cang met Zhao Xin, although he only spoke a few words, he could see that he would be a good emperor in the future, and he was a man with a heart.

Now that he agrees with him, agrees to cooperate, and is the future grandson-in-law, the kindness conveyed by Nan Cang is not limited to the one thing of getting Liu Muzhi out of the imperial prison.

Because of his intervention, Liu Muzhi successfully resolved Cui Wenhao's embarrassment.

Cui Zhihan returned to the prime minister's mansion and sued Cui Cen for what Nan Cang had done in the imperial prison.

Cui Cen's face was gloomy, with dark emotions surging in his eyes, and he sent someone to send an invitation to Nanfu.

The rebellion of the Seven Kings became more and more fierce. Apart from beating the emperor, what he did today was actually trying to test Nan Cang's attitude.

But looking at his current behavior, it shows that he is already on the emperor's side.

If he is asked to send troops this time, the Cui family will suffer a lot of blood.

But no matter what conditions Nan Cang put forward, I'm afraid he will agree if he doesn't want to agree this time.

In the past two days, the army has been in a hurry, and that little force can't resist it for a few days.

Compared with the losses caused to him by the rebellion, the conditions for agreeing to Nan Cang are relatively better.

Cui Cen stared out the window with gloomy eyes.

Xin Zhao felt relieved when he saw that Liu Muzhi had returned safely.

Knowing that the matter with Li Cunxiao has also been resolved, Zhao Xin's mood also changed from cloudy to sunny.

The next day, Zhao Xin and Liu Muzhi came to report, saying that Cui Cen needed to persuade Nan Cang to send troops to suppress the rebellion, and agreed to several conditions of Nan Cang.

"Let the emperor come to court, let go of the posts of Wei Wei and Guang Luxun, and can't restrict the front line with Ma Zheng and Qian Liang after dispatching troops, cleanse Kou Huairen of the crime, and return to his original post."

Although he has traveled to the present, he has not seen Cui Cen with his own eyes.

But Xin Zhao could also figure out that when Nan Cang proposed these conditions, his expression must be ugly.

However, this news made Zhao Xin feel better, and the gloom from yesterday was swept away.

As soon as Liu Muzhi finished reporting the news, a eunuch outside came in to report that the Queen Mother was asking to see him.

Xin Zhao raised his brows slightly, guessing in his heart why she asked to see her, it was probably related to the conditions that Cui Cen agreed to Nan Cang.

Xin Zhao signaled Liu Muzhi to back down, and then said, "Let her in."

The Queen Mother came in and saluted, and Xin Zhao asked her to sit down. Although the two had no mother-child relationship, the plastic mother-child relationship still needs to be maintained.

"I don't know what's the matter when the queen mother comes here?"
