Rebirth was attacked by scum and stalked to death

Chapter 25

In the empty dungeon, Zhong Xiaoshi shouted his name incoherently.

"Chuiyi... He Chuiyi? Don't scare me... You can't do anything! Chuiyi!"

He hugged He Cuiyi tightly in his arms, wiped the blood from his mouth with his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "I will listen to you, I will listen to you..."

Tears streaked across the pale cheeks, dripping on He Chuiyi's face inadvertently.

The Gu worms invaded the body, causing the consciousness to return to the cage.

He Chuiyi slightly opened his eyes, moved his arms, and was recovering his strength.

"I'm fine." He reassured.

Zhong Xiaoshi raised his head with tears in his eyes, choked up and said, "What's wrong with you?"

He Chuiyi pretended to be relaxed and said: "The backlash from refining Gu will be healed soon."

"Then why not before?" Zhong Xiaoshi said anxiously.

He Chuiyi didn't answer, but regained some strength, and managed to get out of Zhong Xiaoshi's arms.

Zhong Xiaoshi grabbed his clothes subconsciously, and was afraid of making He Cuiyi unhappy, so he finally let go.

He leaned his head against the wall without saying a word, while Zhong Xiaoshi knelt aside, his eyes flicked back and forth on his face, and found that his complexion had improved a lot, and his heart dropped.

He Cuiyi calmed down his breathing, then looked at the uneasy Zhong Xiaoshi, sighed in his heart, and said, "Do you know your other crime besides killing the king?"

"I know." Zhong Xiaoshi lowered his eyes, the hatred in his eyes at this moment was something he didn't want He Cuiyi to see.

He Cuiyi frowned, "The reason why you asked Mozhu to do it earlier was because the emperor had already noticed it at that time?"

"Yes." Zhong Xiaoshi replied honestly.

"You told the emperor that since three years ago, you have been in charge of the collection of silver in Luozhou City, because you are afraid that you will hurt the Zhong family if you are exposed?"

"……Yes."

He Cuiyi's eyes became complicated, and he asked in confusion, "In the past three years, you have filled the granary with money from the common people, but now there is not even a single grain of rice in the granary. Why did you do this?"

Another crime of Zhong Xiaoshi is corruption.

This greed lasted for three years, playing with the people of a city in the palm of their hands.

"If I deserve what I deserve, will you still save me?" Zhong Xiaoshi said.

"Save." He Chuiyi said firmly.

"It seems that I will be saved by you no matter what, Chuiyi, do you remember what I said, the heavy rain in Luozhou City three years ago?" Zhong Xiaoshi asked with a smile.

"Remember." Zhong Xiaoshi said that he saved him in that heavy rain.

Zhong Xiaoshi said: "Aren't you curious, why did you save me who met by chance?"

He Chuiyi paused for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Because of the emperor? You are Eunuch Zhong's nephew, and the emperor asked me to save you."

Zhong Xiaoshi's eyes froze, "Your Majesty..."

Zhong Xiaoshi quickly withdrew his thoughts and said, "I'm talking about before that."

"Before that?" He Chuiyi asked in confusion.

"Well, you saved me in that heavy rain."

He Chuiyi frowned and looked at him without speaking.

The dim candlelight illuminated Zhong Xiaoshi's face, this time He Chuiyi didn't miss the flash of viciousness on that haggard face.

"I broke my leg when I was young, and I have been disabled ever since. Three years ago, the heavy rain broke through the Jinjiang River and flooded Luozhou City. The people in the city were panic-stricken and fled. There is no one in the city to take charge of the overall situation, and the prefect's mansion is in chaos." Zhong Xiaoshi raised the corners of his lips coldly, without even a hint of a smile on his face.

"and then?"

"Then, the servants in the prefect's mansion wanted to take me away. They pushed me outside the mansion. Do you know what I saw? I saw that the people who respected me on weekdays rushed into the prefect's mansion like crazy. , They recklessly robbed the property of the mansion."

Zhong Xiaoshi was sitting in a wheelchair, the wooden wheel was submerged in the water, and he couldn't move an inch by himself.

The servants who led him away had already rushed into the prefect's mansion with the flow of people, and searched the mansion together with them.

That day, the heavy rain was so heavy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He dimly saw countless people passing by him. They rushed into the heavy rain with the things they looted from the prefect's mansion in their hands, and disappeared from sight one by one.

The rain had already risen to the calf, Zhong Xiaoshi tried to ask others for help, but no one paid attention to him.

"help me……"

Those stupid people thought that this heavy rain could really overthrow Luozhou City.

They don't even care about their own lives, so how can they care about a disabled person?

In the end, Zhong Xiaoshi no longer asked anyone for help, only despair was reflected in those eyes.

The rain hits the skin like a needle prick.

He thought at that time, what is the difference between living in this ugly world and hell?

He Chuiyi listened silently.

"After that, you saved me. You got separated from the emperor in the heavy rain, and somehow ended up in the prefect's mansion."

Standing in the torrential rain, the red figure didn't look embarrassed at all.

The man in red glanced behind him, quickly understood what had happened, and even laughed.

"You were left behind?"

He Chuiyi asked in a deep voice: "Do you hate them?"

"Can't I hate?" Zhong Xiaoshi asked back.

"Yes." He Chuiyi nodded, "Where is all the money?"

"I gave it all to other people."

He Chuiyi smiled knowingly, no wonder the emperor wanted to pass all the county magistrates around Luozhou City to the capital, but Zhong Xiaoshi actually sent all the money he took to other towns.

The toxin was temporarily suppressed, He Chuiyi wiped off the blood on his face, stood up, and said to Zhong Xiaoshi: "Zhong Xiaoshi, you are right, the way you hate someone is too gentle."

"Mozhu will come to save you, get out of here."

Zhong Xiaoshi froze for a moment, "Can I go with you?"

He Chuiyi shook his head, "No."

He couldn't even save his own life, so how could he promise Zhong Xiaoshi something.

"Then I won't go."

He Chuiyi patted the top of his head with a sigh, and said, "Don't let my hard work go to waste."

After leaving the dungeon, he found that Emperor Wu had been guarding the entrance.

He stood at the side with his hands behind his back, his deep pupils were a little coquettish, and he just stared at He Chuiyi intently.

"Finished?"

"I'm done asking."

"Let's go then."

He Chuiyi nodded, "Yes."

Emperor Wu had already prepared the carriage for the capital, and before getting on the carriage, Eunuch Zhong called the two of them to stop with a birdcage.

"Your Majesty, Mr. He wait a moment."

Emperor Wu frowned and looked, Eunuch Zhong raised the birdcage, and there was a little yellow sparrow inside, he said: "This is a bird that the old slave picked up by the Jinjiang River, the old slave can't take care of it well, if the emperor wants to go to Jinjiang Take a look, why not help the old slave release it."

"Release life? Why did you go back to Jinjiang to release life?" Emperor Wu asked.

As soon as this remark came out, He Chuiyi looked over in surprise. He thought that Emperor Wu would be furious and even punish Eunuch Zhong for his crimes, but he didn't expect him to answer so calmly.

Mr. Zhong said: "Don't people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots? The old slave will not return to the capital for the time being, and I can only trouble the emperor."

Emperor Wu looked at Eunuch Zhong coldly, and asked him to release the bird on purpose?What did Eunuch Zhong want to tell him?

"Go and get it." He subconsciously said to He Chuiyi, and he suddenly realized after he finished speaking. Just as he was about to explain, he found that He Chuiyi had already taken the birdcage from Eunuch Zhong.

Sitting in the carriage, Emperor Wu couldn't help asking, seeing He Chuiyi reaching out to tease the oriole in the cage, "Do you like it?"

He Cuiyi paused, and then shook the cage lightly. The squirrel inside jumped up and stopped soon.

"It has been trapped for too long, and it doesn't even bark. I don't like it, but I look forward to it returning to freedom."

The carriage drove slowly, and Emperor Wu stared at He Chuiyi with eyes like a man-eating beast.

He Cuiyi didn't seem to notice, and played with the little squirrel nonchalantly, but the little squirrel avoided his hand and ignored him.

The carriage passed by the street, He Chuiyi didn't talk to Emperor Wu, he raised a corner of the curtain to look out, and immediately found a person following him like a shadow on the roof of the street.

Wearing a Taoist robe and a mask on his face, this person flew over the roof and walked along the walls, and followed the carriage side by side step by step.

His eyes met inadvertently, and He Cuiyi raised his lips and smiled, his eyes softened a little.

"What are you looking at?"

A gloomy voice sounded beside him, and He Chuiyi's smile did not change, "It's nothing."

The carriage drove towards the city gate, and He Cuiyi raised the curtain again, and he saw the figure of Nadao stopped behind, looking at him fixedly.

Suddenly, a hand pressed on his hand, pushing back the corner curtain that was raised.

Emperor Wu bent his eyes, but there was no smile in his eyes, "The wind is cool, don't freeze."

He Chuiyi quickly withdrew his hand, and went back to tease the little oriole who ignored him.

Only ten feet away from the city gate, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Your Majesty, stay!"

Emperor Wu frowned, and ordered: "Stop."

Not long after the carriage stopped, the man shouted and ran up.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

He Cuiyi stopped teasing the bird, he raised his eyes, and glanced at Emperor Wu, who squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What happened?" Emperor Wu asked.Lychee

The visitor said: "This morning, a person who claimed to be the head of the Yinfeng Village appeared in the city. He said that he had never seen the son of Zhong Taishou, and there was someone else who entrusted him to take your life."

Emperor Wu was shocked, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he slowly shifted his eyes to He Cuiyi, who was still hanging his head, teasing the little oriole.

He seemed to have noticed something terrifying, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Who is it?" If you listen carefully, you can find a slight trembling in it.

"The last member of the Wugu clan, he also said..."

Emperor Wu asked in a daze, "What else did he say?"

"He also said that you imposed the crime on Zhong Xiaoshi in order to protect the Wugu tribe, and he said that you took in the Wugu tribe... I heard that someone has already spread the news to the capital."

Emperor Wu seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was extremely cold.

Enduring endless anger, he stared at He Chuiyi, "Do you want to pay yourself for a Zhong Xiaoshi?"

After hearing what the visitor said, He Chuiyi was also a little shocked.

His original plan was to let Mo Zhu reveal to the people that the emperor had arrested the wrong person, not that Emperor Wu deliberately added the crime to Zhong Xiaoshitou!

Mo Zhu really... cheated Emperor Wu severely, but it seems that he also cheated himself by the way.

He Chuiyi sighed secretly, "Haven't I already paid myself off?"

"With you, I don't even have... the right to avenge myself?"

He Chuiyi straightened up, staring at Emperor Wu with frowned eyebrows.

"Emperor, I have already said that your life is not worth mentioning to me. I will save the person I want to save, regardless of what he has done to you."
