Chapter 267

The excruciating pain made him roll his eyes. He wished he could die immediately and free himself from this inhuman pain.

But he couldn’t do it, his hands and feet were tied up with iron chains.

No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

“I’m not in a hurry. I have plenty of time to play with you. ” Xiao ran was expressionless.

Lin Yunyi was about to go crazy. He wanted to say something but couldn ‘t.

He couldn’t take it anymore after three minutes. He lowered his proud head and begged for mercy.”Stop!” I’m begging you, please stop ...”

Xiao ran relieved him of his pain temporarily.

Lin Yunyi panted heavily as if he had just received a new life. He had never felt so wonderful in the air before.

“Who gave you the answer?” Xiao ran shouted.

“The Butler of the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.”

“Ministry of Rites?” Xiao ran frowned.

After Fu Xianhe had set the exam questions, he presented them to the palace for Emperor Sheng Wen to make a decision. In the end, they were sealed in the Ministry of Rites and would only take out the questions on the day of the exam.

“Yes.” Lin Yunyi nodded heavily.

“He sent someone to find us and told us that he had the answers to this test. He asked us if we wanted them. He said that his master had risked his life to copy this from the Treasury of the Ministry of Rites. If the answer is wrong after the matter, you will return us double the silver. ”

“There are more?” Xiao ran asked again.

“On second thought, he wouldn’t dare to lie to us even if he had a few dog guts. Otherwise, not only will he be in trouble, even his master will be in trouble. ” Lin Yunyi added.

“Sir, you believe it?” The Lieutenant asked.

Lin Yunyi’s expression changed. He was afraid that Xiao ran was going to torture him again, so he hurriedly said,””I’m telling the truth! Not a single lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the others. ”

“Go over there and see if there are any results.” Xiao ran ordered.

The Lieutenant left.

Only the two of them were left in the cell.

Lin Yunyi played the emotional card.”Ever since Zheng Qing left, my sister has been deprived of food and tea. She locked herself in her room all day and washed her face with tears. I know that she must still be thinking about him in her heart. As long as you don’t hold me responsible this time and let me go, I’ll leave. After I go back, I will immediately persuade my father to agree to the marriage between my sister and Zheng Qing. ”

“Do you remember Zheng Qing now?” Xiao ran mocked.

“What do you think?”

“Not much!” Xiao ran said.

A punch landed on his face, knocking him out.

He left the cell.

The Lieutenant returned at that moment and ran over with a serious expression.””It’s just as he said. ”

“Keep a close eye on them. Without my orders, don’t let a single one go.” Xiao ran ordered.

“Yes, my lord.” The Lieutenant replied.

He left the Imperial prison.

Looking at Qian Xuan, who had come forward to welcome him, Xiao ran said,””Take a group of men and follow me to the left Assistant Minister’s house to get him.”

“It’s my Lord!” The public and private money Pavilion was very clear, calling him “Sir” and not “brother Xiao.”

He led a group of people and followed behind Xiao ran, rushing towards the left Assistant minister’s residence.

The Imperial Palace.

Back garden.

The court session had just ended. Emperor Sheng Wen did not go to the Imperial study to continue reviewing the memorials as usual. He wanted to take a walk around the palace and relax.

He stood by the lake and looked at the swimming fish. Under the reflection of the sun, the fish scales shimmered with various colors, which was very beautiful.

Eunuch Zhu stretched out his right hand and passed over the fish food he had prepared.

He took the fish food and sprinkled it down.

The fish in the lake quickly swam over and fought for the fish food.

“If you want the fish to be obedient, you can’t let them eat too much. If you let them eat their fill in one go and then feed them, they won’t care about you.” Emperor Sheng Wen said meaningfully.

A young eunuch quickly walked over and whispered a few words into eunuch Zhu’s ear before leaving.

“Your Majesty, Lord Fu has arrived.”

“Isn’t he invigilating the exam at this time? Why are you free to come to the palace?” Emperor Sheng Wen felt strange.

He gave the fish food to eunuch Zhu.

“Send an order to him. Have him meet the Emperor in the Royal study.”

In the Imperial study.

Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne and looked at Fu Xianhe.”What’s the matter?”

Fu Xianhe took out the “cloth” and handed it to eunuch Zhu. He then explained the situation to him.

After listening.

Emperor Sheng Wen’s face instantly darkened.

Eunuch Zhu injected his spiritual power into the cloth, and the same words appeared on the cloth. Looking at the answer, Emperor Sheng Wen’s hands clenched.

“Pass on my order, investigate this matter!”

“It’s Your Majesty!” Fu Xianhe replied.

Fu Xianhe left after getting the answer he wanted.

After he left, the anger on his face disappeared. He was expressionless, and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

“Who are the officials from the Ministry of Rites?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He thought for a moment.

Eunuch Zhu said,”the minister of rites is about to retire. He rarely deals with Public Affairs. The left Assistant Minister is in charge of this. He is the ninth Prince’s man.”

“Get him to come over and see me!” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

Outside the left Assistant minister’s residence.

Xiao ran stopped with Qian Xuan and the others.

The leader of the guards looked at them and asked coldly,””This is the residence of the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. What are you doing here?”

“Back down!” Xiao ran berated.

The other party remained unmoved. The surrounding guards surrounded them instead and stared coldly at Xiao ran and the others.

“You want to stop me?” Xiao ran said.

“It’s not impossible to enter the residence, either you receive a notice from the court or wait for my master to return. ” The guard said.

“Is that so?” A cold laugh came from the sky.

Qin Fangzhen descended from the sky and stood beside Xiao ran.
