Chapter 189 See Who Will Save You
Faced with the aggressive jailers, Xie An subconsciously shrank back.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid. Xie An had been feeling nervous ever since he stepped into this eerie and cold dungeon.
He was bluffing and yelling and asking those people to help him prepare charcoal braziers, barbecue and so on, but in fact he was just trying to give himself courage.
Besides, Aunt Su and Song Tao are not afraid, so how can he, a man, be afraid?
He could only pray silently in his heart that Pei Huan had found help to rescue him.
Seeing the jailers rushing to catch them, Xie An opened his arms and protected Su Li behind him:
"If you want to touch me, touch me, don't touch my mother!"
Su Li was truly moved.
This kid!
When she touched Xie An's hand just now, he was obviously trembling with fear, but he still stood in front of her with manly spirit. It was really worth making friends with Huan Ge'er.
Tan Taiting grabbed Xie An by the collar and said:
"Good boy! You're looking for death, right? I'll send you off first."
As he said this, he dragged Xie An out.
Su Li and Song Tao wanted to go forward and pull him away, but were stopped by four or five jailers.
Seeing Xie An being tied to the rack, Tan Tai Ting thrust a pair of red iron pliers in front of him.
"Tell me, boy! Who is your father?"
Xie An suddenly burst into laughter, spat on Tan Tai Ting's face, and said jokingly:
"My father? My father is Xie Huaian, the Duke of Xie. I can also tell you who my grandfather is. My grandfather is the old Duke of Xie, Xie Tiande. Dog official, open your dog eyes and see clearly who the little grandfather is!"
"Xie Huaian? Xie Tiande?"
Tan Tai Ting glared at Xie An in disbelief, walked up to him, grabbed his hair, and took the torch next to him to look at his face.
The prison was dim. Xie An was wearing the uniform of the academy, and he and Su Li were acting out their deep mother-son love. Tan Tai Ting never suspected that they had arrested the wrong person.
But now that he looked at it carefully, he was immediately furious.
"Someone come! What's going on?"
The arresting constable now realized he had arrested the wrong person, and was so frightened that his legs were shaking like a sieve:
"Your Excellency, I don't know! As soon as our subordinates entered the academy and said they wanted to arrest Pei Huan, this kid jumped up. How could our subordinates know that he wasn't!"
"Bastard!"
Tan Tai Ting was furious.
If Pei Huan is not caught, how can the general's family be convicted?
He was so angry that he grabbed Xie An's collar and said:
"Tell me, where did Pei Huan go? If you don't, I'll still leave an iron mark on your pretty little face!"
As he spoke, the pliers in his hand were about to burn.
Xie An closed his eyes and turned away in fear.
"Wait!" Su Li shouted at the critical moment.
Her hands were twisted and she couldn't move, but she still struggled forward and shouted angrily:
"Dan Tai Ting, don't you just want to confirm Huan Ge'er's background? I can tell you, but you're not qualified! Call your master here, I want to tell him in front of him."
"Mrs. Pei, you're trying to buy time and wait for the princess to come and rescue you, right?"
Su Li was stunned.
Then he heard Tan Tai Ting snort coldly, "I'm afraid Her Royal Highness the Princess is too busy to save you right now."
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"What's wrong? The emperor is seriously ill and has been urgently summoned by the palace. Do you think the princess wants to go to the palace first, or come to rescue you?"
Since Prince Jing was determined to take action, he would certainly cut off the external support for the General's Mansion. The eldest princess was in a high position of power and had been making trouble recently. The plays she wrote were all full of insults to Prince Jing and Concubine Wen's faces.
If we want to take action against the general's mansion this time, we naturally have to control the eldest princess first.
The eldest princess has now been brought into the palace, and will be trapped in the palace for the next few days by Concubine Wen on the pretext of tending to the emperor's illness.
"Mrs. Pei, just give up on this idea."
"As for your General Pei, humph! I heard he only took a hundred men into the mountains this morning. Madam Pei, your family is truly the kind of people who refuse to take the road to heaven and forge their way into hell without a door!"
"Originally, we were worried that it would be difficult to take action against General Pei in the Jingji camp. But we didn't expect him to come out and even go into the mountains. Madam Pei, just wait to collect Pei Heng's body!"
After Tan Tai Ting finished speaking, he raised his head and laughed heartily.
In the mountains, they have thousands of death squads and a sharpshooter unit of over a hundred men. If Pei Heng steps in, he will never return!
When Su Li heard this, her heart felt like it was hit by a blunt force.
Today she finally witnessed the cruelty of Prince Jing.
No wonder they dared to come and arrest people so openly, it turned out that everything had been arranged.
"Pei Heng..."
Su Li could only pray silently in her heart that Pei Heng would be safe.
And Brother Huan!
I wonder how Brother Huan is doing.
If she and Pei Heng were destined to die at the hands of Prince Jing, at least Huan Ge'er, who escaped, could survive.
Unexpectedly, after all these twists and turns, in the end, only two little kids, Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er, were left alone in the world...
"Tan Tai Ting, come at me if you want to fight or kill me. Xie An is innocent. He is the only son of Duke Xie. If you dare to touch a hair on his head, you will have to bear the consequences!"
Su Li was furious and shouted at Tan Tai Ting.
Right now, she definitely can't leave.
Xie An is innocent, so if you can save him, save him.
Tan Tai Ting's eyes rolled around.
indeed!
Old Duke Xie is famous for his bad temper.
In his youth, Xie Tiande followed Emperor Gaozu in conquering the world, wielding a crescent-shaped sword weighing 82 kilograms to slash through countless armies. Later, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, he rose to become the first of the four founding dukes and was gifted a golden mace by Emperor Gaozu, allowing him to strike down tyrants and execute corrupt officials.
There are so many people to arrest! But why did they arrest the only grandson of this old devil who has been passed down for three generations?
"Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!"
Tan Tai Ting waved his hands repeatedly, wishing he could send this little devil away quickly.
Xie An, who had been untied, turned around and hugged the torture rack, clinging to it:
"I won't leave! I won't leave until Aunt Su leaves!"
"I can't just catch or release you!"
Seeing this, Tan Tai Ting became furious. He turned around, kicked the jailer beside him, and cursed:
"What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and carry them out!"
"Yes!"
Several people rushed forward, snapping their fingers, dragging and pulling at him, but they didn't dare to use any brutal force, and they couldn't do anything to Xie An.
Just when everyone was in the midst of a quarrel, a sinister laugh came from behind:
"Wow, is it so lively?"
Everyone turned to see King Kang dressed in a flashy red robe. The satin looked as soft and delicate as clouds, draping incredibly smoothly without a single wrinkle. Over it was a snow-white fox fur coat. The red and white clashed together for a unique and coquettish look. This man, appearing in this dark, damp, and cold prison, seemed completely out of place.
A pair of lambskin-soled boots stepping on this dirty ground makes people feel inexplicably distressed.
It was strange enough that King Kang appeared here.
What was even more strange was that he was actually holding a burly woman in his arms, waving a jade-bone fan in such a cold day, and appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
"Kang...King Kang?"
Tan Tai Ting never thought that he would see King Kang here.
