When she returned to Yuwen Mansion, the first thing she faced was naturally the tearful cry of Tusheer. She had been frightened these days, and any rumor would kill her. When she saw Shang Ruyi, she grabbed her hand and cried. : "Miss, you must take me with you wherever you go from now on, otherwise I will die in front of you!"
Shang Ruyi also knew that these days had made her worried, so he could only apologize and swear, and finally coaxed her away.
Next, it’s all about the family.
Everyone was obviously very worried about Yu Wenye's expedition and being taken to Dali Temple for interrogation. Although they did not dare to ask more questions, it could be seen from everyone's anxious expressions and anxious eyes that at this moment, the Yuwen family People are already panicking.
There were even a few timid people who quit their jobs directly.
Shang Ruyi did not make things difficult for them. She paid them monthly money as usual and made up for some rewards. She comforted those who stayed at home. She also ordered Jin Yun to restrain the servants at home, and even ordered all the soldiers who followed Yu Wenye on the expedition this time. She stayed behind closed doors and tried not to go out except for daily shopping. Even some guests who came to express condolences were politely turned away by her.
In this way, it also makes the truth that the general of the auxiliary country failed in the expedition and returned to the court in victory this time becomes more complicated and confusing.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
Everything at home was relatively peaceful under her control, but Shang Ruyi's heart was far from as peaceful as the situation in the mansion. When facing everyone during the day, she had to use the young lady's money to stay calm and calm to reassure everyone. But at night, her worries were like a poisonous snake that refused to let go, wrapping around her body and mind, often keeping her awake all night.
This night, it was the same again.
It was past midnight, and she was still sleepless. Listening to the sound of the clock outside, it was more like something was hitting her heart, making her unable to calm down.
It turned out that the room was so quiet that it was actually a kind of torture.
She couldn't help but look up and look at the couch under the window. Usually at this time, if she couldn't sleep, she would see Yu Wenye sleeping there as soon as she opened her eyes. He always slept deeply and breathed long. , his face is calm, and even his sleeping posture is very neat, just like him, there is never a single flaw in him.
But now——
The bed was empty, and Shang Ruyi even felt that her heart was empty. She couldn't help but get up and walk over. She stepped on the ground with her bare feet, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of cold. Until she lay down on the bed, it was cold and hard. Only then did she realize how cold it was here.
It turns out that Yu Wenye has always slept like this.
She suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, but she couldn't tell where the sourness came from. She just curled up slightly and pulled his not-thick quilt over her to cover her body with his faint breath. Then it surged up, embracing her like an invisible embrace.
Shang Ruyi slowly closed his eyes.
But, what is Yu Wenye doing at this moment?
Just when Shang Ruyi finally fell asleep slowly in the familiar atmosphere, on the other side of Dali Temple, in an empty room, the atmosphere was stiff and cold, almost freezing people. ….
Here is where the detainees are placed in Dali Temple.
It was neither a cell nor a prison cell, but a very simple, empty room with only one bed against the wall. The thin bedding on it didn't seem very warm. There was only a low blanket and a couple of blankets in the center of the room, which was used for interrogation. Used by people who record.
At this moment, three people are sitting across from each other.
Sitting directly above is Yu Wenye.
He was still wearing the fur coat he wore when he came back from Xingluocang. He had not been able to change out of it for several days. It was also stained with a lot of mud and looked a little dirty. But he sat upright in front of him, his body Upright, he still looks very handsome, even a bit noble.
Sitting opposite him was Zhai Ying, the young minister of Dali Temple.
This man was only in his thirties, with a thin beard and a thin appearance, but his slender eyes showed shrewdness, especially in such a dark environment, facing a candlelight on the table, which made his eyes even more... A flash in the eyes from time to time
A little cunning light can't escape.
Sitting next to him is the document he brought.
At this moment, the clerk wrote down the words he heard before. After writing the last word, he raised his head and looked at Zhai Ying.
I saw Zhai Ying stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "So, Lord Kou was the one who caused the rebellion and wanted to surround the general halfway and kill people to steal the credit?"
Yu Wenye said: "Killing is killing, but whether he is trying to gain credit - I'm afraid you have to investigate this, sir."
Zhai Ying sneered: "Everyone is dead, how can we still check?"
Yu Wenye gave him a cold look.
Zhai Ying said: "Speaking of which, the general is too anxious. Why kill someone with one knife? If he can be kept, at least we can confront each other and make it clear. Now, it is really difficult for me to lower my official position just to listen to the general's one-sided words. judge."
Yu Wenye sneered and said, "Master Zhai, if I don't kill him with one blow, then it will be Kou Yunliang who is being interrogated here."
"..."
"I wonder if Master Zhai will tell Kou Yunliang at that time that I, the general, should be spared?"
Zhai Ying's expression changed.
The clerk on the side was holding a pen, hesitating whether to record these words. Zhai Ying glared at him, and the clerk was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to move.
At this time, the sound of the night watch sounded outside.
It's almost nine o'clock.
Since arriving at Dali Temple, Yu Wenye has been almost sleepless for the past few days. They took turns interrogating Yu Wenye. Although they asked the same questions, they came from different angles and even asked some details from different people to interrogate him again. Over and over again, although he responded fluently, his energy had reached its limit.
At this moment, his bloodshot eyes were so swollen that he could hardly see the person in front of him. There was only a faint candlelight swaying slightly.
It seems that it will be extinguished at any time.
Just when Yu Wenye's consciousness was a little blurry, Zhai Ying's voice suddenly sounded in his ears again: "But there is one thing I'm curious about. I wonder if the general can tell me."
Yu Wenye immediately raised his head again: "Oh? Excuse me."
That Zhai Ying sneered and said: "The general said that Kou Yunliang led his men and the imperial guards to surround the general at the foot of the mountain, and he struck preemptively, killing the general's men and horses with bows and arrows, and even injured the general's wife. Later, they were dispersed by a group of people, which gave the general a chance to defeat them - then, who is it that dares to attack the people of the imperial court at this time?"
Yu Wenye's chaotic eyes flickered, then darkened. .
