9. When people go and autumn comes, they pour out their hearts and minds alone, and the palace leaks and nights

Pei Niancheng asked himself, the moment he heard the news of Li Han's suicide, he was not without fear.

At least until now, he was only angry with Li Han, but never thought of letting him die.Although yesterday when he was facing the enemy, he suddenly turned against his fate and almost caused a catastrophe, but Pei Niancheng subconsciously felt that of course he didn't deserve to die.

Pei Niancheng stood up abruptly, and while walking towards the apse, he asked the shadow guard who came to interrogate him:

"He hid the teacup secretly? Why didn't the shadow guard who went to collect the tableware find it?"

"Returning to the master, this matter was due to the carelessness of the shadow guards under him. Previously, the shadow guards confiscated all the drugs that the shadow guards used to commit suicide on Lin Tong.I was negligent, I only felt that the common means of suicide had been blocked, so I didn't take precautions..."

Pei Niancheng almost laughed angrily at the shadow guard, what a brain, so stupid.I still remember the chemical means of defense, did not expect such a simple and crude physical means?

It's also his fault. Normally, the shadow guards would throw anyone directly into prison if they caught them. Of course, they wouldn't be treated like a decent set of dishes to deliver meals, so ordinary people don't have to cut their own blood vessels.Chance.

He softened his heart a bit this time and let Li Han temporarily live in the apse, unexpectedly giving him such an opportunity.

Pei Niancheng was full of thoughts, and came to the apse in a blink of an eye.

When he stepped into the door, he saw two shadow guards, one on the left and one on the right, kneeling Li Han on the ground, unable to move.And his left wrist was wrapped with a circle of white cloth, with bright red blood oozing from it.

Pei Niancheng's footsteps paused.

However, he has already cultivated the ability to hide his emotions and anger, so in the eyes of others, there is nothing unusual about his expression.

Pei Niancheng stood in front of Li Han, looking down condescendingly, and just stared at him without speaking for a while.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Li Han tried to look up at his master, but was restrained by the back of his neck, unable to do so.

He couldn't help but let out a soft cry:

"Owner……"

Pei Niancheng looked at him coldly, then waved his hand:

"You all go out first."

The shadow guards at the side were all taken aback, the shadow guard who reported the letter just now is also a deacon level, after hearing the words, he advised:

"Master, do you need to prevent him from violently hurting others?"

Pei Niancheng sneered:

"He can't use martial arts, and I won't let him succeed. The shadow guard who is in charge of collecting the tableware, let him receive the punishment himself."

"Yes, this subordinate took the lead. He is now in the Criminal Division. Master, please be careful."

Several shadow guards in charge of guarding in the house quietly exited the apse.

Li Han finally temporarily regained the freedom of his limbs, knelt down slowly, and bowed down to Pei Niancheng:

"...Subordinates refer to the master."

Pei Niancheng reached out and grabbed his hand which was bandaged with a white cloth. The blood on it was very fresh, and it was even slowly oozing blood.

For a moment, there was an inexplicable pain in his chest.If...if Li Han hadn't been rescued in time, then he could only see a corpse now.

Corpses, no matter before or after he became the emperor, he saw them all the time.

However, Li Han, as one of his closest people, a close vassal who assisted him and helped him get through the difficult times... He never imagined that Li Han would end up as a corpse.

Even though Li Han was doing the most dangerous job and came back with injuries many times, Pei Niancheng somehow believed that Li Han would not die so easily.He even joked about him:

"Good people don't live long, bad person last for a thousand years. Li Han, what kind of person do you think you are?"

How did he answer back then...

Oh, here's what he said: "...the subordinates are certainly not good people."

But why are you rushing to report in front of Lord Yan's palace now?

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Pei Niancheng decided to have a good talk with him.

He let go of Li Han's wrist, sighed, and asked:

"You don't want to live so much? Why."

Li Han was taken aback.Although there was anger in the master's tone, it was restrained, and there was even a trace of pity.It's not as indifferent as it seemed just now.

He lowered his head, without a trace of emotion:

"If the master knows the identity of the subordinate, he will not let the subordinate live, but will make you angry. Sooner or later, the subordinate just... just finished it in advance, so that the master will not worry too much.It's over."

Pei Niancheng was stunned:

"I won't let you live? You refuse to say, how do you know I won't let you live?"

"...The subordinate is taking the liberty, because the subordinate believes that he has a third understanding of the master."

Pei Niancheng felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead.

No, what does he mean by that!Because I know myself so well, I don’t think I’ll let him live——

Isn't this just calling him cruel in disguise?

Pei Niancheng looked at the person in front of him bitterly, feeling that his calmness just now was completely useless.

Li Han sighed and raised his head slowly:

"This subordinate really made you angry again... I'm sorry, this subordinate didn't mean to..."

Pei Niancheng's anger subsided a little.

Unexpectedly, Li Han changed the topic:

"Your subordinates are so useless, master, why do you insist on retaining your subordinates? It's an obstacle to your eyes here. Now that the situation has been settled, the deputy commanders are young and sharp, and their martial arts are getting more and more sophisticated. None of them are worse than the subordinates."

"They are all qualified for the position of commander. Master, you...you don't need me anymore. This subordinate assures you that what this subordinate is hiding...has nothing to do with the country. If you don't ask, just let this subordinate take it into the coffin.It’s okay to go there.”

Pei Niancheng turned around abruptly, and took a few anxious steps on the spot:

"I don't need you, do I? Indeed, without you, your shadow guards can function as usual, but..."

His chest heaved violently.

But what Li Han means to him... is not just his position as the leader of the Shadow Guard...

However, Pei Niancheng has always disliked hypocritical people, so after he himself realized this, he was unwilling to say it so bluntly.In the end, he had to grind his teeth, and tried his best to say something that had never been so emotional in his life:

"—But, Li Han, in all fairness, I'm pretty good to you. Could it be that you, you... can pretend that the friendship of these ten years has never existed, can you?

"As long as it's something I don't need anymore, I can kill it at will - is this how you, Li Han, view the friendship between the monarch and his ministers in the past ten years?"

Li Han was stunned.

He imagined that the master would be deliberately provoked by him, and after some weighing, he would think that he was of little value, so he would be executed logically.

His master only needs to move a finger to summon a shadow guard, and he will be dragged out to die easily on the execution ground.As a result, it was easy to bring the secret that he couldn't see into the ground forever, turning it into a handful of loess.

But he didn't expect that his master would not give up some things.

Some feelings that are useless to the king.

He felt extremely pained, and thought to himself, master, why do you do this, the subordinates really don't deserve what you do.

Then he closed his eyes and bowed down again:

"The subordinates are ashamed of the master's cultivation for many years, please master give the subordinates a death."

Pei Niancheng was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke:

"I don't agree, I'll just waste it with you like this! I'll wait for the day when you speak out. I'm still very young, and I'll see who can spend more energy than whom."

Li Han pursed his lips:

"...The subordinates will always find ways to make themselves die sooner."

"you!"

Pei Niancheng finally couldn't suppress his anger any longer, and kicked him up.

Of course, he still used his remaining rationality to prevent himself from using his internal strength, but Li Han was also lacking the strength to even truss up a chicken now, and after receiving this furious kick, he only felt a sharp pain in his ribs.He failed to stabilize his figure and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

"you……"

Seeing this, Pei Niancheng was angry and heartbroken, his silver teeth were about to be crushed by him.

He regretted that he should not lose control of his emotions, kicked him, but couldn't bear to help him.In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and leave, before leaving, he slammed the door back heavily.

Negotiations can be said to have failed completely.

Pei Niancheng has worked hard all his life, and he has been walking on eggshells since he was a child before he ascended to the big position.The thorny problems encountered in the past ten years were as many as 8,000, such as the late emperor, brothers, palace, courtiers, military power, local government, finance... which ones were not resolved without exhaustion.

However, there has never been anyone like Li Han, who is like a hedgehog, making him completely helpless.

If you don't want to be strong.What can he do with a person who is not afraid of anything, asks for nothing, and only wants to die?

When Pei Niancheng came out of the back hall, the cold wind hit his face, which made him a little more awake.He called the shadow guard nearby, and said ruthlessly:

"Put Li Han where he should be. There are too many utensils in this apse. Even if there is no fragment of the teacup, he can kill himself by pulling a piece of cloth. Keep an eye on him, and be sure to put an end to all his means of self-destruction."

The shadow guard shuddered.

This means that Li Han is officially being treated as a criminal, and he is not allowed to have any freedom.

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

The shadow guard took the order to go, and after a while, he and his colleagues entered the door of the apse.Standing at the door, Pei Niancheng looked up at the sky, listening to the endless sound of iron locks winding from inside the house, he felt extremely empty in his heart.

………………

For Pei Niancheng, another day passed like this, when he had nowhere to go in his heart.

On the second day after Li Han was imprisoned, a deputy commander came to ask Pei Niancheng for instructions, but Li Han still refused to ask whether he needed to be sentenced.

Pei Niancheng looked at the deputy commander like a fool:

"Your interrogation methods are all taught by him. Do you think it will be useful to use it on him?"

"...The subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

There is one more thing he didn't say, with Li Han's tenacity, no matter how painful all these interrogation methods are, except for speeding up his death, they will definitely not be able to pry his mouth away.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted.

Pei Niancheng sighed again.

The number of times he sighed in the past few days has been more than that in a year.

…………………

The weather turns cooler, the moon rises and the sun sets, and the wind in late autumn at night gradually becomes like a knife, ruthless and fierce.

Pei Niancheng sat in the cold palace until late at night, trying to use his busy work to make himself forget the illusion that there was no one around him.

And Pei Nianyu in the palace was watching the autumn wind blowing the fallen leaves outside, and suddenly remembered this moment last year.

It was also on such a night in late autumn, the man risked his life to save him from the poison in his Gu, and was misunderstood by Old He afterwards to kill the master, and was locked in the dungeon for more than a month, after a lot of tossing, he almost died.

He was thinking about the past, and suddenly became nervous.

The old building is also suffering from serious internal injuries. He knows that the dungeon is cold and damp.Although no one will torture him now, but...it's cold today, and there are no thick quilts and warm basins in the dungeon.

The old building is not young anymore, what should he do if the injury gets worse.

Once Pei Nianyu started thinking in such panic, he couldn't stop, and how could he remember his determination to punish him severely yesterday?

——That's why most people who are in deep love will have the problem of being cheap.

A certain prince who slapped himself in the face sneaked into the dungeon under the cover of night, and brought the man back secretly.

That's the end of Lou Yefeng's one-day tour experience card for dungeon detention.He sat in the room with the burning charcoal basin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he thought to himself, Master, why are you doing this.

But after all, he was grateful for the master's kindness, and he was clear about what the master wanted to do to him (but the master's intention fell through).

So he took the initiative to admit his mistakes again and again, saying that he was heinous and would never be redeemed, and that he was as docile as a big dog. Although Lou Yefeng was injured and could not start the "interrogation" for the time being, Pei Nianyu took the opportunity to bully him a little.a handful.

After enjoying the benefits, Pei Nianyu had a good night's sleep. He just woke up the next day when he suddenly received an urgent letter from Pei Niancheng's shadow guard:

"Brother, please send some trustworthy shadow guards to the palace to take over the task of guarding Li Han."
