The scene in front of him was rapidly receding, and when Shen Mo felt that he was about to be suffocated, the hand that had been holding him tightly finally let go, and before he could gasp for air, he was gagged with a mass of rags, blindfolded, and then tied hands and feet, and thrown into a carriage.

In the darkness, he only felt the carriage running, and after an unknown time, the carriage stopped, and he was pulled down from the carriage like a sack, and dragged it violently for a distance, grinding his legs with burning pain, especially when passing through the stone steps and thresholds, so that he felt that his bones were about to crack.

Finally, at a certain moment, the hand that grabbed him suddenly let go, and Shen Mo was thrown heavily on the hard floor, and his eyes were full of pain and tears flowed down his face.

At this time, the rag from his mouth was pulled down, and he didn't care to speak, but first took a big breath of fresh air.

I heard an old voice say: "Are you a criminal official in Zhejiang?" ”

"Ahem......" Shen Mo was masked, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance, but his brain immediately started, wanting to paint a portrait of the other party and locate his identity. Who knew that after a little hesitation, he was kicked on the ass and said angrily: "When the adults ask you, you still don't answer honestly!" ”

"I'm not a prisoner!" Shen Mo also said angrily: "Who are you? I'm a list of Xie Yuan, the future protégé of the Son of Heaven, you can't do this to me! In order to lower the other party's vigilance, he is ready to create a superficial and irritable image. Anyway, no one here knows what he really is.

"What a noise!" kicked him in the ass again, the kicks were so hard that he almost fainted from Shen Mo's pain, and said in his throat: "It hurts me to death, you are breaking the law like this, the law of the Ming Dynasty, no one is allowed to torture people!" Illicit! You know? ”

His chatter only brought a burst of ass suffering, and in addition to the pain, he silently found that the other party only spanked his ass, but he didn't touch it elsewhere, and his heart said that he either had a special hobby, or he was afraid of hurting me! Of course, the latter may have a high surname, because the emperor issued a holy decree to get himself to the capital, and he would definitely send someone to interrogate him, and if there was a new injury on his body, he might cause unnecessary trouble.

It is inferred that the other party is unlikely to harm himself substantially, and his silent mind is more stable...... Because he has a poor tolerance for pain, Miki may ask what to say.

Of course, if his ass is kicked too much, he will also surrender, but fortunately, before the collapse, the other party stopped. I heard the old voice laugh and said: "Shen Jieyuan, it's a pity that you are not a person now, the Ministry of Rites has removed your background, you should be called Shen Baiding now." ”

Shen Mo's heart tightened, his head buzzed, and a cold sweat came down, he felt that there was indeed such a possibility...... Although it is also possible to blame him, if it is true, half of his life's hard work will be wasted, and his ideals and ambitions in this life will be completely ruined.

I heard the old man continue to sneer: "I won't tell you, your case has been decided, Zhao Zhenji is protected, Hu Zongxian is also protected, so I have to let you be a scapegoat, this is the reason why I brought you to the capital." ”

Shen Mo was even more frightened, his body couldn't help but tremble, he swallowed and foamed, and hissed: "Who are you?" Since I've been sacrificed, why are you still talking to me? ”

"I'm the only one who can save you." The man smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask me who I am, just know that you are still a glimmer of life after a catastrophe, it is all in the old man's thoughts." ”

Shen nodded silently, and then heard the man ask, "You are that Shen Lian's apprentice, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Then why are you in cahoots with Zhao Hu and the others?"

"Zhao Wenhua didn't owe me any money." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Hu Zongxian didn't marry my sister either, and I have nothing to do with them." ”

"Then why did you help Hu Zongxian hide the evidence of the crime?" Li Mo asked in a deep voice.

"What is Hu Zongxian's crime? I do not know. Shen Mo still shook his head and said, "I just abide by my duty as a minister." ”

The old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a big mistake in the world! You are ordered to handle the case, but you ignore your father, destroy the evidence privately, and try to cover up the truth, which is also called the duty of a courtier? ”

"The son is not his duty, only the father has the final say;" Silent and neither humble nor arrogant: "The courtiers are not duty, only the saint has the final say." ”

"...... you" The old man was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "The tone is really not small, just with a small person, you also want to see the emperor?" Dream on! ”

"If you don't see me, the emperor has the final say, and everyone else doesn't count." After the initial panic, Shen Mo had calmed down...... The other party is so hidden, he must have scruples, no matter how arrogant he is, it is impossible to last, he must keep his mouth shut, do not leak flaws, and do not give opportunities, so if he persists, there will be a turnaround.

Therefore, no matter what the old man asked, he always said, 'I am loyal to the emperor', and as for the rest, he will not answer.

The old man patiently asked for a long time, but found nothing, and his temper came up, and he said coldly: "I will send you a sentence: 'Although the boiled duck has a hard mouth, it can't escape the fate of being torn apart and eaten', since you are unwilling to cooperate, then wait here to die!" ”

Silent smiled indifferently: "It's possible that the cooked duck will fly away too......

The old man understood that he couldn't quarrel with this kid, so he stopped talking, and angrily ordered the people on the side: "Let's go!" Then I heard footsteps, the door opened, and the send-off, and the house fell silent.

Although there was no movement, the fear in Shen Mo's heart became more and more intense, he didn't know what fate he was going to face, and his body shivered for a while.

To distract himself, he struggled to sit up and decided to think about who was playing with him...... The first person who can bring himself here is only Lu Bing or Lu Bing's subordinates. Let's talk about Lu Bing first, although I feel that this big spy leader doesn't need to take off his pants and fart like this, but Shen Mo doesn't know the inside story of the relationship, maybe people want to take the opportunity to harm Yan Ge Lao, just like when the whole black material was sued to Qiu Luan, this is all uncertain...... If it is assumed that Lu Bing himself has no motive, he is entrusted by others, and of course it is possible that his subordinates are in charge of their own affairs...... Didn't the captain at the door say that Lu Dudu went into the palace to accompany the emperor to cultivate?

As for who entrusted him, Shen Mo can't even say, who made Yan Songshu make a big splash and have a bad reputation? In the eyes of the adults in Beijing, he is undoubtedly a sharp weapon against the Yan Party, so those Qingliu who regard Yan Song as an enemy have this motive, and it is also possible for Li Mo, who wants to replace Yan Song; Even Yan Song's party, which is a thief, is possible, or it may be some other force...... Shen Mo couldn't help but curse secretly: I thought that the water in Zhejiang was muddy enough, but now compared with the capital, it is called a crystal clear!

But in any case, there are not many people who can have this face, and there are even fewer people who need to ask themselves...... Yan Song or Li Mo. Judging from past history, there is a cooperative relationship between Lu Bing and Yan Song, and between the two, it is obvious that Yan Song's status is higher; And Li Mo is Lu Bing's teacher, and it is said that Lu Bing has always been obedient to him, so both have this face.

As for other big names in Shen Mo's impression, such as Xu Jie, Yujing Erwang, etc., they may not have big surnames. Because for Xu Jie, although he had a moment of parting with Yan Ge, with the rise of Li Mo, for Xu Ge Lao, it was necessary to adjust his strategy against Yan Song...... At this time, if Yan Song is defeated, he will only let Li Mo, who is older than himself, has older qualifications than himself, and is harder than himself in the background, this must be what Xu Ge Lao does not want to see, after all, Yan Ge Lao is almost eighty, Xu Jie's boil and boil, and it is likely that he will come out. But once Li Mo ascended to the throne, Xu Jie had no hope...... Li Mo is sixty years old, five years older than Xu Jie, and he eats a lot of food, and his body is very good, who can survive who is not sure? Therefore, even if Xu Jie doesn't help Yan Song at this stage, he will definitely keep his head in the dark, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and silently believe that he can figure out the problem, and the dignified assistant will not be confused.

And the two kings of Yujing should not be stupid enough to deal with the hardcore brother of the suspicious father...... Just kidding, Lu Bing is not only the head of the Jinyi guard, but also the head of the emperor's guards, and the commander of the soldiers and horses in the capital.

Thinking about it, it is nothing more than one of the three of Lu Bing, Yan Song and Li Mo, so who is it?

Just when Shen Mo wanted to dig deeper, he suddenly asked A smell of smoke, mixed with an extremely spicy and pungent taste, took a tight breath, and choked him to cough, and an unprecedented fear hit his heart-you won't burn me to death, right?

But he couldn't care so much, he quickly lay on the ground, clinging to the ground, tilting his head hard, his nose was close to the collar of the padded jacket, and spitting on it, he knew that most of the victims in the fire were suffocated by inhaling the toxic particles in the smoke, so he used this method to inhale as little smoke and dust as possible, and live a little longer.
