The food was already cold, but He Xuezhi's words continued: "Master Su may not know yet. You have been arresting people these days, but the disasters have been caused. You have arrested 14 officials of all sizes and sizes. All of these officials are important local officials and are responsible for local affairs... In other words, the current disaster still requires these people to maintain it. With a big knife and you arrest them, the official duties of more than a dozen yamen will be rested, but you don't think about it. This will only make the situation in Yichun more chaotic and make the people who are already suffering more painful." He looked at Su Keyong

, continued: "The people now know that the culprit that caused the situation even more chaos is you, Lord Su... and our He family has tried their best to pass this reason to the people. There are also officials who were arrested by you, who were covered in wounds after leaving here... Those scars are ironclad evidence of your violent official, so... If someone from the court comes to investigate your death, we will report it. Because Lord Su's case is unfavorable, it leads to chaos in Yichun. The officials of all sizes and big and small in Yichun have suffered humiliation, and the people even want to denounce you, Lord Su. Lord Su feels ashamed, and he is ashamed of the court, and commits suicide by drinking poisonous wine... This should be reasonable?"

Su Keyong's face turned blue and his whole body trembled. He knew that his death was approaching, but what he feared the most was that he would still bear endless infamous after his death.

"Did you think the court will believe your family's words?" Su Keyong tried his best to calm himself down: "Don't forget that arresting people... it is not just the order issued by the official of the Ministry of Personnel. It was approved by the Supervisor. The Supervisor represents the court, which means arresting people.

"Are you talking about Eunuch Ling?" He Xuezhi laughed disdainfully, "Mr. Su, you are so naive. Do you think that eunuch without eggs can testify for you?"

Su Keyong said coldly: "Can you even kill him?"

"Kill him?" He Xuezhi laughed and said, "Mr. Su, I'm going to tell you, killing that castrated man is really afraid of filthing my knife. And... he is a useful person, so why should I kill him? I'm still waiting for him to testify for you, Lord. Su!"

Su Keyong's eyelids twitched.

"When Han Mo died, then Eunuch Ling had no backer. If you go west, he is an incompetent eunuch, and I can't control it at will. And Lord Su should also see that Eunuch Ling is also a smart person and has some vision in judging the situation. He will soon know that the three eastern counties in Yichun are the world of my He family after all. If he wants to return to Yanjing safely, he must do his business according to what I, He Xuezhi...!" He Xuezhi smiled proudly: "Mr. Su, guess will he be obedient?"

"Good means, good means!" Su Keyong laughed furiously: "He Xuezhi, from beginning to end, you watched me arrest people and interrogate them severely, but you didn't say a word. It turned out that these conspiracies had been set up long ago... People say that the master of the He family was full of fat and his mind was full of grass. Now it seems that others underestimate you too much."

He Xuezhi was not angry, and laughed and said, "I like to say that others say that... it is always a good thing to be unprepared for!" He looked out the window and said slowly, "Mr. Su, it's late at night, this wine..."

Su Keyong stared at He Xuezhi coldly and did not speak.

He Xuezhi sighed: "Mr. Su, you are also a person with status. If you don't want to do it, I have to ask someone to help you..."

Su Keyong smiled disdainfully on his face. He reached out and picked up the wine cup, looked at the wine inside, then looked at He Xuezhi, and said calmly: "Those who calculate will eventually be counted. He Xuezhi, you will not be the winner after all!" After that, he happily drank the wine in the wine cup.

Even though the wine was over, the breeze was still leisurely outside the window.

The night is quieter!

...

...

In the large grottoes in the underground maze of Yin-Yang Valley, Han Mo and the other two were staring at the person under the stone pillar. The light emitted by the fire siege allows the three of them to clearly see the person's appearance.

He had a messy head and a messy hair, and his hair was as thin as a hair. His clothes were already worn out.

This is perhaps the most sloppy and ungrateful person Han Mo has ever seen. The man sat under the big pillar, his body covered with iron shackles. Due to distance, several people could not know exactly what those iron shackles were for for a while.

That person was like a fierce ghost underground. Han Mo even felt Xiao Lingzhi on his back trembling slightly.

Han Mo was not afraid. He even took two steps forward to see what was going on with this person.

Adid was of course quite brave. He was surprised at first when he saw the man under the stone pillar, but after Han Mo took two steps forward, he also pinched the fire note, walked a few steps forward, and got closer to the man.

A sour smell came to my face and penetrated into my nose, making me feel disgusted.

Han Mo finally saw clearly that the iron shackles were used to lock this person. The person's neck, shoulders, wrists, waist, and ankles were all locked by iron shackles.

The iron shackles are extremely heavy and piled up there, which makes people feel a sense of weight.

Several people even saw that the man's arms were soft and drooping, and his skin was shriveled, as if there was no blood flowing on his arms. His legs were also thin and only skinny and boneless.

The man had long hair disguised, but at this moment he raised his head, revealing a thin and blood-colored face, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were even more concave. However, unexpectedly, he had a pair of bright eyes, and the expression inside the eyes was extremely gentle.

Han Mo was shocked. He didn't look at Adi, but Adi also looked at him. In addition to being shocked, the two people's faces were more confused.

They really couldn't imagine that in this underground maze, there was such a person locked in this huge grotto. Who is this person locked here? Is it He Xuezhi?

"You don't have to be afraid, I am a human, not a ghost!" Before Han Mo and the others spoke, but this poor man like a ghost spoke first. His voice was hoarse and dry, like something stuck in his throat.

"Who are you?" Adi asked in a deep voice. He still held the green vine whip tightly, and he stumbled on his left and right from the corner of his eyes, with a cautious heart.

He could not be sure whether such a poor person would be a part of the trap.

The poor man's eyes were still gentle. He seemed to want to use his eyes to express his kindness and show that he was not a villain. "Since you have arrived here, you can sit first. I see you... after suffering a lot, it is not easy to get here alive...!"

Han Mo was indeed tired, so he carefully placed Xiao Lingzhi on the ground and sat down, and then asked the man directly: "Senior, is this the Central Grotto?"

The poor man looked up at Han Mo. Although his voice was hoarse, his tone was very gentle: "So you know that this is gossip? You guessed it well. This is indeed the Central Grotto. The living eyes you are looking for are here!"

Han Mo only felt that his tense nerves were a little loosened at this time. Although he didn't know where the living eyes were in this cave, since the other party said that this was the central cave, it meant that the way out was close, and the few people were one step further away from death.

Adid had already sat down and reached out to wipe off a few drops of sweat from her forehead.

"Senior was he so hurt by He Xuezhi?" Han Mo looked at the miserable appearance of the poor man and frowned. Although he didn't know the true identity of the poor man for a while, Han Mo still felt that this poor man was not an enemy. He could not feel a trace of hostility from this man.

"My hands and feet have been broken..." The poor man's voice was calm: "But it was not the one you mentioned!"

As soon as he said this, Han Mo and the other two were shocked at the same time. Xiao Lingzhi looked at the poor man's hands and feet with beautiful eyes, and an incredible look appeared on her beautiful face.

Being imprisoned in this place is already in great pain. This person's tendons and tendons are broken. What kind of pain does he have to endure? In this environment, even if an ordinary person does not die of mental breakdown, he will definitely have deep resentment and full of resentment. However, what this poor person shows is peace and friendly. Listening to his voice and looking at his eyes, you will never imagine that he is a tortured person.

"Who...who is so cruel?" Xiao Lingzhi couldn't help asking.

The poor man did not hide it: "A person who was as close as a brother to me, a person who could die for him back then... a person who is more talented than me!"

This sentence, poor people say without any emotion, is like stating a very ordinary fact.

You can't tell whether he is sad or painful, angry or gentle.

"Why did he harm you?" Han Mo asked with a frown: "Who is he?"

"Why do you want to harm me?" The poor man closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the answer to this question. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Maybe... he doesn't like me, or maybe... my existence makes him feel uncomfortable... Maybe, there is no reason at all...!"

This short sentence is a bit miserable.

"Then how did you survive?" Xiao Lingzhi asked again. She was a woman after all. In this world, women always have the most curiosity. She wanted to know what kind of experience this poor man who was deeply trapped in the underground maze was.

If it was the past, if it was before falling into this underground maze, with her cold and arrogant temperament, she would not have the interest to ask about other people's affairs, nor would she have the interest to know what others had experienced.

But after more than ten hours of the underground maze, she understood how much perseverance and courage it would take to survive in such a desperate situation. She could not imagine how such a poor man with his tendons and legs had been broken.

The body was tortured to this point, could his perseverance and courage still exist unyieldingly?

Xiao Lingzhi asked herself, if she was alone and fell into this dark underground maze, no matter how strong she was, she would probably collapse little by little due to loneliness and fear until she could not bear it and ended her life.

The poor man calmly said in that hoarse voice: "Because... I don't want to die! The value of life is very valuable. Since we have come to this world, why should we give up our lives before we will die?"

"May I ask the title of Senior?"

"I am... Guigu Zhuangyuan!" The poor man's voice was full of pride.
