The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 556: Young Master's Exposure (Part 1)

The gray-robed man who was shot through the head fell sideways in the snow, with brains and blood spurting all over the floor!

This scene was really terrifying, being shot through the head by an arrow was enough to make one shudder, not to mention a long and heavy red-tasseled spear!

All the gray-robed masters felt as if their heads had been shot through, their foreheads went cold and their whole bodies froze.

They have killed countless people, but they have never seen such a method of killing. It is too cruel and terrifying!

It took a murderous intent in his heart to shoot this shot!

Who is it!

Who did it!

Everyone sensed that the situation was not good, and the snow-covered official road was suddenly filled with a tense and fearful atmosphere, and another gray-robed man replaced the previous one and began to give orders.

"Draw the sword! Draw the sword!"

He drank!

Everyone was pulled back to their consciousness by his voice, and they pulled out the scimitars around their waists one after another.

At the same time, the sound of horseshoes that seemed to be able to break through the mountains and rivers came from far and near, and the snow seemed to be shaken. Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in Tsing Yi riding a vigorous horse. , In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a few people, Qi Ji leaped, and flew past their heads!

The moment the horse's hoof hit the ground, the boy stretched out his palm-protected hand and pulled out the red-tasseled spear that had pierced the man's head.

Immediately, with a movement of his fingertips, he took off the cloak on his body, and with his bare hands, he covered Mo Qianxue, who was disheveled!

Lying in the icy snow, Mo Qianxue watched the young man come in fresh clothes. He didn't wear a mask, his eyes were stern, and the eye-catching birthmark on his left face was not ugly, but had a cold and evil look on it.

The young man was full of murderous looks, but he covered her with clothes covering her body.

Gu Jiao's horse didn't stop, she immediately shot at the remaining five people after she pulled out the red-tasseled spear.

The skills of this group of people are not weak, and together they can be as strong as a Sirius, but Gu Jiao is not the Gu Jiao of two months ago, her strength has recovered a little, and now even if she fights Sirius again , she won't be as embarrassed as last time.

Gu Jiao got off her horse, and the two sides fought fiercely.

One of the gray-robed men suddenly thought of something, pointed at Gu Jiao and said, "She! She is the hostage we want!"

Gu Jiao gripped the red-tasseled spear tightly, and said coldly, "Catch it if you have the ability."

The five of them tried their best to attack Gu Jiao.

Surprisingly, Gu Jiao's skill was not as stated in the letter, logically the strength of the five of them was enough to control him, and an extra master was added just to be on the safe side.

However, they failed to get a bargain from her at all.

Gu Jiao hates trouble, and also hates flashy attack methods.

Shadow, bloodthirsty.

The ultimate move is her most powerful move.

The gray-robed masters fell one after another, and with Gu Jiao's last stab, the last gray-robed master also fell in a pool of blood.

But this one she didn't kill, and left a sigh of relief.

Gu Jiao stuck the red-tasseled gun in the snow, bent over and wrapped Mo Qianxue tightly with the cloak, wrapped her arms around her back and knees, and hugged her cold and stiff body.

But at this moment, the carriage from the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrived, Xiao Heng lifted the curtain, glanced at Gu Jiao and Mo Qianxue, and then at the scene, almost understanding what happened.

He hurriedly avoided suspicion and got out of the carriage, and called the coachman aside.

Gu Jiao carried Mo Qianxue into the carriage.

Xiao Heng asked through the curtain: "Are you all okay?"

Gu Jiao looked at Mo Qianxue.

Mo Qianxue shook her head with a pale face, signaling to Gu Jiao that she was fine.

Gu Jiao replied, "It's nothing."

"You have blood all over your face."

"Not my blood."

Xiao Heng looked slightly relieved.

Mo Qianxue's body was trembling, and a cloak was obviously not enough to keep her warm.

Gu Jiao took off her winter clothes to Mo Qianxue.

There is no charcoal basin in the carriage, it is as cold as an ice cellar.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door panel, and then a slender hand like jade handed in an official robe and winter clothes.

It belongs to Xiao Heng.

The Ministry of Punishment only came with a carriage, and Xiao Heng naturally couldn't get in the carriage with Mo Qianxue's current appearance, which meant that he had to ride back on horseback.

How could his body as a civil servant be able to stand the ice and snow?

What's more, after entering the city for a while, does the dignified Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment actually want to show off in a middle coat?

Gu Jiao didn't refuse all of them, but she didn't accept all of them either. She only took the winter clothes and let Xiao Heng wear the official robes back.

Gu Jiao got out of the car and took the red-tasseled gun back to the carriage, and said to Xiao Heng: "By the way, I saved a living, see if you can find out anything."

"Is that?" Xiao Heng pointed to a gray-robed master who fell alone on the far side, that master was pretending to be dead, but it was a pity that he did not hide it from Xiao Heng's eyes, "Okay, you go back first, and the next thing is up to you." give me."

"Yes." Gu Jiao got into the carriage.

The coachman got Xiao Heng's order, sat on the outer seat, turned the carriage around, and drove towards the capital.

In the carriage, Mo Qianxue leaned against the wall of the carriage, and gradually recovered her body temperature and consciousness. She glanced at Gu Jiao who was sitting across from her as if she was resting with her eyes closed, and whispered, "Are you asleep?"

"No." Gu Jiao opened her eyes and looked at her calmly, "How do you feel?"

Mo Qianxue lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's like a nightmare."

Gu Jiao held out her hand to her.

Mo Qianxue understood what she meant, slowly raised her hand, and handed her wrist to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao took her pulse, and from the pulse, she suffered a little internal injury, and her vitality was greatly damaged.

"Are you hurt?" Gu Jiao asked.

"No." Mo Qianxue said.

The man failed to violate to the last step.

"Why did you come?" Mo Qianxue asked.

"Xiao Jiu brought me here." Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find her way.

Mo Qianxue opened her mouth: "I mean... haven't you been drugged by me? How can you still wake up? Is your drinking capacity better than Hua Xiyao's?"

Hua Xiyao is the most drinkable in Xianleju, so far I have never seen anyone who can drink her.

Seven-day drunkenness is her unique drug, even she can beat it.

Mo Qianxue realized something, and stared at her almond-shaped eyes: "Could it be that you didn't drink it?"

"...Hmm." Gu Jiao admitted generously.

That night Xiao Heng told her about Xianleju, Mo Qianxue's purpose and the order of the young master of Xianleju.

She drank the glass of water that Mo Qianxue handed her, but she didn't actually swallow it.

She wanted to see what Mo Qianxue would do next.

Mo Qianxue put her on the bed first, and then dragged out a person from under the bed, it was Hua Xiyao.

Mo Qianxue changed Hua Xiyao into her clothes and put on a veil.

At this point, Gu Jiao almost guessed what Mo Qianxue would do.

The reason why she didn't stop it immediately was because Mo Qianxue's medicine was really too strong, she didn't swallow it, but after holding it in her mouth for a long time, it still absorbed a little bit.

She slept for half an hour.

Fortunately, Mo Qianxue didn't walk too fast this way, otherwise the tragedy would have already happened when she arrived, and killing that man would not help the matter.

Mo Qianxue didn't ask Gu Jiao when she began to doubt her, she was too embarrassed to ask, and there was no need to ask.

She approached her for another purpose, but now that the incident was revealed, she still came to rescue her...

"Next time this happens again, just take me there." Gu Jiao said, "Don't do stupid things by yourself."

Mo Qianxue looked at her steadily.

After a while, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "En."

Gu Jiao took Mo Qianxue back to the clinic, and on the other side, Xiao Heng and the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice brought the "survivor" back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, along with Hua Xiyao who had fainted nearby.

Hua Xiyao was drunk for seven days and couldn't wake up for seven days and seven nights, so Xiao Heng put her in a separate cell for the time being.

The man in the gray robe was taken to the execution room.

He had a poisonous sac in his mouth, which was discovered by Xiao Heng and someone took it out. After that, he tried to kill himself by biting his tongue several times, Xiao Heng simply gave him a little cartilage powder.

Xiao Heng is the order of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, interrogating prisoners is not within his authority, but when he personally applied to Xing Shangshu for him to interrogate, Xing Shangshu readily agreed.

The gray-robed man slumped weakly on the iron chair in the center of the execution room. Behind him was an execution platform for the prisoners, and various instruments of torture were hung on the walls on both sides.

The torture room was dimly lit, and there were no candles. There was only a half-person-high stove burning on the right hand side of the door, and a red-burning iron was placed on the stove.

Xiao Heng was sitting opposite the man in the gray robe, the stove was only a few steps away from him, the firelight reflected on his handsome face on the right, making his face look half dark and half glowing, making it a little more eerie and cold for no reason. feeling.

"Retire first." Xiao Heng said to the two yamen servants in the execution room.

"Yes, Lord Xiao."

The yamen servant obeyed the order of Xing Shangshu, and everything was under the order of Xiao Shu.

As soon as Xiao Heng changed from being a good official in front of others, his expression was indifferent and even a bit sinister, he looked at the man in gray robe and said: "Who ordered you?"

The gray-robed man was someone who had seen the storm, so he was quite calm. He slumped on the chair, his head was tilted, and he couldn't move. After hearing Xiao Heng's words, he smiled coldly: "Your yamen Don’t you always start with the identity of the prisoner when trying a case? My lord doesn’t ask who I am?”

Xiao Heng looked at him indifferently: "Your name is Bai Kun, from Fucheng, you are twenty-five years old this year, your parents passed away three years ago, you have no siblings, and you have no family. When you were young, you studied in Mr. Liu's private school in Fucheng. After two years of study, you were expelled from the private school because of your bad temper. After that, your parents sent you to be an apprentice in the iron shop. After two years of absence, you were kicked back home by the owner of the iron shop for stealing. You have traveled to many places. In the end, I was spotted by an instructor in a martial arts school. You have a good talent, and you have practiced martial arts well in just a few years. When you were 22 years old, your parents died of illness one after another. After burying your parents, you left Fucheng , and have not heard from him since.”

The gray-robed man looked at Xiao Heng in shock.

Xiao Heng walked up to him step by step, but there was a pair of sinister eyes on that overly handsome face: "How is it? Am I right?"

"No...not...I'm not Bai Kun!" The gray-robed man shook his head desperately, but the effect of cartilage powder made him unable to shake his head at all.

Xiao Heng leaned down slightly, looked at him closely, and said indifferently: "Is it important that you are Bai Kun?"

The man in the gray robe was shocked again!

Xiao Heng took out a confession letter from the wide sleeve of his official robe, and took out a box of cinnabar ink pads.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of the gray-robed man's heart: "You, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Heng dusted off the confession letter, picked up the box of ink pads with his slender fingertips like jade, and then grabbed the gray-robed man's hand.

The gray-robed man tried to struggle, but where did he find any strength when his cartilage was scattered?

His eyes stared like copper bells, and he roared: "You are an imperial order! You will be beheaded for doing this!"

Xiao Heng: "Oh, really?"

The gray-robed man: "You're crazy! I want to see your lords! I want to see the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments! You can't beat me to tricks!"

Xiao Heng: "I didn't hit you."

"I don't plead guilty! I didn't plead guilty! It wasn't me...not me...you! You..." The gray-robed man was incoherent in panic.

Xiao Heng ignored his struggles and complaints, he is not the kind of person who is indifferent on the surface and soft on the inside, his heart is dark.

It's just that he doesn't have to pretend where Gu Jiao can't see.

Xiao Heng grabbed his hand expressionlessly, first pressed the ink pad, and then pressed a bright red handprint on the confession.

The torture chamber is a place where important prisoners are severely tortured. Ordinary criminals will not be sent here, and those who are sent here will basically have a layer of skin peeled off.

In order to isolate the screams of the prisoners, the door of the execution room was made extremely soundproof.

The yamen servants in the aisle did not hear the movement inside.

About half an hour later, Xiao Heng came out of the execution room with a tired face.

His forehead and neck were covered with sticky sweat, his chest heaved slightly, and his breathing was short.

He looked pretending to be calm, but there seemed to be a trace of unbearable in his eyes.

Seeing this, the yamen servant hurriedly informed Xing Shangshu.

Xing Shangshu hurried over: "Liulang, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Heng looked at Xing Shangshu with a complicated expression: "I'm fine, but the prisoner... committed suicide in fear of crime."

Xing Shangshu was stunned, as if he was a little surprised that the other party would commit suicide in fear of crime.

"Then did he confess?" Xing Shangshu asked.

Xiao Heng presented the document in his hand as if relieved of a heavy burden: "Fortunately, Bai Kun confessed to his mission. This is Bai Kun's confession."

Xing Shangshu hurriedly brought over the confession, and carefully read it from top to bottom, right to left.

The more he looked, the more dignified his expression became.

This person was indeed related to Xianleju, and the young master of Xianleju was mentioned at the end of the confession.

I saw it written in black and white on the top of the paper - the young master of Xianleju, the princess of Zhaoguo, calling the emperor's brother today.

Xing Shangshu is struck by lightning!
