Hu Xiaotian deduced that Murong Zhan was here, so he stood up and straightened his clothes.
After the door lock was opened, Murong Zhan appeared outside. In the winter afternoon, the sunlight was not strong, but Hu Xiaotian, who had been in the darkness for a long time, still couldn't bear it.
Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked at Murong Zhan. Murong Zhan slowly walked into the room with his hands behind his back. Murong Zhan's gray eyes actually glowed blue-gray in the darkness. Few people knew that Murong Zhan had a pair of night eyes.
His vision is sharper at night than during the day.
Murong looked at Hu Xiaotian's face. Even in the dim light, he could still clearly see every detail of Hu Xiaotian's face. For some reason, he always felt that Hu Xiaotian seemed a little different from the past, but he didn't know what the difference was.
Where?
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Did Commander Murong come here to let me go?" But he knew in his heart that there was little chance of him being released immediately.
Murong Zhan said: "Eunuch Hu should stay here with peace of mind. How to deal with the Mingyue Palace matter depends on the emperor's wishes."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hasn't it been found out clearly? The letter left by the scholar also admitted that she set the Mingyue Palace on fire."
Murong Zhan sighed and said: "Master Wen has carefully read the letter and confirmed that it is a forgery."
When Hu Xiaotian heard the news, he was shocked. He certainly understood what it would mean to him if the letter was classified as a forgery.
Murong Zhan said: "I came here just to ask you, did you write that letter?"
Hu Xiaotian was filled with resentment. He looked at Murong Zhan and said: "Commander Murong, even if I say I didn't write it, will anyone believe it? Will anyone help me explain this to the emperor?"
Murong Zhan's eyes were full of sympathy. In fact, the fire in Mingyue Palace was not complicated. The letter left by Wen Ya had admitted that the fire was caused by her, but Taishi Wen Chenghuan had denied that the letter was written by Wen Ya.
What he wrote was to deny the possibility that Wenya set fire to Mingyue Palace. So the biggest suspicion fell on Hu Xiaotian, and the suicide note that was supposed to exonerate him turned out to be evidence that Hu Xiaotian wanted to cover up his crime.
Murong Zhan said: "There is currently no conclusive evidence to prove that you are related to this fire." His words contain two levels of meaning. One is the literal meaning, and there is another hidden level. There is no evidence that you are related to this fire.
It has nothing to do with the fire. Now Wen Chenghuan firmly denies the authenticity of the suicide note, which is equivalent to pushing Hu Xiaotian to a desperate situation, and he may be beheaded. As for bringing Hu Xiaotian here to temporarily guard him, it is also because Wen Chenghuan
At Chenghuan's request.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Manager Murong has taken the trouble."
Murong Zhan said: "Don't worry. Before the emperor decides how to deal with this matter, you can just stay here with peace of mind." He turned to the guard behind him and said: "Bring a bedding to Eunuch Hu, and three meals a day.
Treat yourself well."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Manager Murong, I want to ask you something."
Murong Zhan nodded.
"I want to see Eunuch Ji."
Murong Zhan said: "I will convey this to you when I see him." After saying that, he turned and left. The door was closed behind him, the guards locked it again, and Hu Xiaotian returned to darkness again.
.
"He really said that?" Ji Feihua said slowly, looking at the wintersweet flowers in the vase.
Li Yan said: "Master Wen has determined that the letter was not written by a talented person. Just now, the guards went to Siyuan Bureau to search Hu Xiaotian's room and found some accounting documents that he wrote on weekdays. Mr. Zhai from the Criminal Department has compared the handwriting.
However, it was determined that the suicide note found in Mingyue Palace was Hu Xiaotian’s handwriting.”
Ji Feihua laughed and stretched out her fingers to twist a petal from the plum blossom: "Zhai Guangmu is said to have the best eyesight. He can't hide any fakes. His words are quite convincing."
Li Yan said: "Sir, Hu Xiaotian is so bold that he dared to set fire to Mingyue Palace and even forged a suicide note imitating elegant handwriting."
Ji Feihua said: "Why did he burn down Mingyue Palace and kill Wen Ya? And why did he forge a suicide note?"
Li Yan said: "This man is ambitious and definitely not a kind person. According to my opinion, he entered the palace because of the misfortune of the Hu family and became resentful towards the emperor, so he did such a thing in order to avenge the emperor's treatment of Hu.
The house was ransacked and the crime was punished."
Ji Feihua held the petals between her fingers and smelled it in front of her nose, then whispered: "Who sent him to Mingyue Palace?"
Li Yan was stopped in one sentence. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but he didn't dare to answer. It was Ji Feihua who arranged for Hu Xiaotian to go to Mingyue Palace.
Ji Feihua said: "If he did all these things, then even a fool would think that there was someone behind him. Who do you think this person is?"
Cold sweat fell from Li Yan's forehead. He bit his lip and did not dare to answer.
"Say!" Ji Feihua's voice was soft and indifferent, but it carried an irresistible majesty.
Li Yan was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.
Ji Feihua didn't look at him at all: "Actually, everyone knows that the suicide note is true. It's okay for that old man Wen Chenghuan to deny it. Father and daughter are fighting, and they don't want their daughter to be charged with setting fire to the palace." Zhai Guangmu
They actually tell lies with their eyes open, what’s their purpose? Tell me what’s their purpose?”
Li Yan trembled: "They want Hu Xiaotian to take the blame..."
"Hehehe, Li Yan, Li Yan, you really let the Zajia family down. You have no brains, and you don't even have the courage. They don't want Hu Xiaotian to take the blame, but they want the Zajia family to take the blame, don't you think?"
Li Yan nodded repeatedly.
Ji Feihua said: "It seems that you don't understand. Why did you say what you said just now if you understand?" He took out the wax plum from the vase.
"Say!" With a sharp shout, the petals of the wintersweet rose up and flew into the void. The murderous aura forced Li Yan to unable to open his eyes, and he kowtowed like garlic: "I know I was wrong.
I know I was wrong."
Ji Feihua looked at the bare wintersweet branches in her hands and said, "Since Zhai Guangmu's eyes have become dim with old age, it is useless to keep those eyes. Please help me tell him now."
"yes!"
"Go!" Li Yan scrambled up from the ground and ran away as if he was relieved.
He Mu walked in next. He cupped his fists and saluted Ji Feihua and said, "I see you, Lord Admiral."
Ji Feihua said: "How's the inquiry going?"
"For your information, Lord Admiral, Hu Xiaotian has been taken away and imprisoned by Murong Zhan. It seems that Grand Master Wen wants to hold him accountable."
Ji Feihua said: "What's going on over there with Quan De'an?"
He Mu said: "There is no movement. He has returned to Cheng'en Mansion."
Ji Feihua raised her orchid finger and gently stroked the long hair on her cheek: "Old fox! It seems that this time he is determined to abandon his troops."
He Mu said: "Admiral, I heard that Wen Chenghuan is contacting the ministers to prepare for the pilgrimage tomorrow."
Ji Feihua said: "The old tune is repeated again, this old guy wants to interfere with me!"
He Mu smiled and said: "Admiral, there is no need to worry, they can't touch you, they just need to eliminate the trouble in time. Naturally, it will not involve you."
Ji Feihua's expression seemed a little cold: "Are you trying to persuade me to silence me as soon as possible?"
He Mu nodded and said: "The Mingyue Palace matter is over, and Hu Xiaotian has lost his value. If he continues to live in this world, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
Ji Feihua said: "The whole family has its own arrangements for Hu Xiaotian's affairs. No one can do anything to him without my instructions."
"yes!"
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!
Hu Xiaotian's feeling is getting worse and worse. No one in this world will be lucky forever. He has been wandering between Ji Feihua and Quan De'an, trying to have both sides. Now he finally tasted the bitter fruit. The fire in Mingyue Palace completely
If the balance is broken, the fate of becoming an abandoned pawn may not be changed. What is even more troublesome is that he is in the center of the storm, but he is completely passive and has no backhand power.
When night fell, a guard brought dinner, which was very sumptuous. Four dishes, one soup and a pot of fine wine. Hu Xiaotian looked at these exquisite dishes and felt a little scared instead of having no appetite. He had written this kind of scene in the book before
It can often be seen that the better the food and wine, the worse the meaning.
The guard who brought the food smiled and said, "These wine and food are brought here specially by the Admiral."
Hu Xiaotian's first thought was to kill someone and silence him. Now that Wen Chenghuan is pointing the finger at himself, the next step is most likely to attack Ji Feihua. Ji Feihua should eliminate himself in order to avoid future troubles.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the food and wine and stood there in a daze. He whispered: "Which Admiral is this?"
The guard lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's Eunuch Ji..."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. Ji Feihua was indeed very powerful. He was even among the imperial guards. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. You go and rest first. I will call you after I finish eating."
"The Admiral said, I must watch you finish all these drinks and food."
Hu Xiaotian secretly cursed in his heart, I'll make you paralyzed! Ji Feihua, Ji Feihua, you are indeed vicious enough. The matter of the fire in Mingyue Palace has not yet been concluded, so you can't wait to kill me. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother, you also
After working hard for a long time, how about we take advantage of Eunuch Ji’s good wine and food to have a drink and make some friends?”
The guard smiled and said: "These wines and dishes are specially prepared for you by the Admiral. How dare I eat them? Eat them quickly. After you finish them, I can go back to work."
There was still a glimmer of hope in Hu Xiaotian's heart, but now seeing the scene in front of him, he was completely in despair. Ji Feihua didn't give him a chance at all and must kill him to silence him. Hu Xiaotian's heart was crossed, Ji Feihua, Ji Feihua, since you are unkind,
Don't blame me for being unjust. No matter whether it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, or a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, since I have been forced to a dead end, today I will come to the bloody imperial city and dare to pull down the emperor even if I am willing to kill him! Every one I kill is a profit.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite."
The guard smiled and put the tray on the ground, made a gesture and said: "Eunuch Hu, please use it slowly."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, his body suddenly activated, he rushed forward like lightning, and locked the guard's throat, intending to break the guard's neck.
