55. Family
Shaofu Prison is not a good place, and like all prisons, it is a hand-dug crypt with only a narrow tunnel that leads to the exit to the surface. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The turbid breath and dim light made it impossible for the prisoners not to feel a sense of despair in the dark.
Like most of the people who have been detained here this time, this is not the first time Xu Guanghan has been imprisoned.
- It's not the first time he's been imprisoned for a capital offense.
Xu Guanghan still remembers the despair of being imprisoned for the first time.
- Capital offense!
I can't tell you what it feels like, maybe ...... It is...... All hope is gone......
- Although the lights in prison are never extinguished, you are tightly entangled and trapped by darkness......
- No matter how hard you try to break free...... Never going to work!
At that time, it was not in Shaofu Prison, but outside Guanglu.
Xu Guanghan's accusations made him even more ridiculed.
There are too many people in Lang who don't like the king of Changyi anymore - who made that prince Li Guangli's nephew?
- Incompetence, defection to the enemy......
- The Li family's already bad reputation has become even worse.
Even the king of Changyi was implicated, and it is not surprising that Xu Guanghan, who was born in Changyi and served as an official in the kingdom, was excluded by his colleagues.
- If he was not ostracized, but he was only used in the wrong harness, how could he be condemned to death?
Xu Guanghan still remembers that after his younger brother came from Changyi and ran around for him, and almost went bankrupt, his younger brother persuaded him to go down to the silkworm room through the iron fence.
Xu Guanghan slammed his head into the thick wall of the prison cell at that time.
- Unsurprisingly, his head was bleeding......
His younger brother wept bitterly, knelt outside the iron bar, and did not say anything about it, only crying for his sister-in-law and niece, and in the end, he gave in.
……
After surviving, facing his wife and daughter, Xu Guanghan panicked......
- He really ran away.
He began to stay in the forbidden, and he didn't even go out to rest and mu, and he was surrounded by people who had the same experience, so that he would be calm and at ease...... Naturally, they are getting farther and farther away from their families......
So when Zhang He told him how much his wife had done for him, Xu Guanghan was shocked......
Zhang He understands that he himself had been through such a period back then.
"That's the flesh and blood ......of my dear relatives," Zhang He sighed in a low voice.
- What is the flesh and blood of the closest relatives?
- Kiss what you dear, hate what you hate!
- What connects the flesh and blood of the closest relatives is not interests, but pure blood.
All this ...... Only have experienced it firsthand...... will know!
Zhang He always thought that he was not close to Zhang Anshi, but when the death penalty was added and his wife sat together, it was Zhang Anshi who risked angering the Son of Heaven and pleaded for him.
— just because they were brothers.
…… Family......
- That's his family......
Xu Guanghan recalled with some numbness...... So I thought about it......
- This time...... It's not a capital offense, but it's ...... Maybe worse......
- Do you want to let them leave Chang'an?
Caught up in his own thoughts, he didn't notice that he was welcomed into prison by the prison history.
Someone noticed......
- It was a group of people.
——Brightly dressed and calm.
- All familiar people!
Shaofu was agitated in prison.
“…… The Eunuchs' Department is familiar with the court......"
“…… Shangfang's affairs are complicated......"
The group of people walked and discussed, and the voice was not high, but in this dead silence, it was enough for everyone to hear.
- What does that mean?
The people in Shaofu Prison were nervous—could it be what they thought?
The silence of the prison clamoured with the mood of everyone in the prison.
- Maybe you don't have to despair too much......
The group walked around the prison and left, and although there was nothing of substance, the people in the prison could not be excited.
"The people who come are all officials."
"Listening to it, it seems to be a ...... of personnel deployment"
"Do you want to use me?"
“…… Not ......"
“…… Probably ......"
The thick walls and bars of the prison cell could not block the communication of the crowd in the slightest, but there was no too optimistic reaction.
- They were convicted in the forbidden world......
However, an hour later, the prison historian took the book and put them in batches and put them in the cell.
Watching his companions leave one by one, the atmosphere in the prison gradually became tense, and the first person cried, and the second person cried, and when the crying gradually became louder, the prison historian impatiently shook the whip.
"Silence! Arrange for service only! are all forbidden, do you think it is life and death, never to see each other? ”
Everyone was stunned.
- Are they really serving in the ban......
When standing in front of Zhang He, Xu Guanghan was really like a world away.
- Can I actually see Zhang He again......
Zhang He looked at his former colleagues standing in front of him in clothes, and he was full of emotion.
After being silent for a while, Zhang He coughed lightly and looked at the eight men sitting on the left and right in the main hall.
"The gentlemen have already submitted the letter, and each of them can lead the people." Zhang He said slowly.
How many people do you want and how to arrange them, all the subordinates of the court have already planned, and at this time, it is just a matter of selecting people to take them away.
Zhu Cheng bowed his head and promised, Zhang He waved his hand, and said: "Zhengdan is coming, next year, the county officials will not be in the Yang Palace, and the nobles who originally lived in the palaces of Jianzhang will also return to the court, and all affairs still need to be carefully taken care of." ”
"No."
After admonishing his subordinates, Zhang He glanced at the prisoners in the hall again, he sighed, but when he spoke, he couldn't have said in a solemn and serious tone: "No matter what you were in the past, what your thoughts were, even if you serve in the court, you must remember that you are only a prisoner today!" They are all old people, how is the court, you don't need me to say more, but I hope you and others keep it in mind. ”
- Unlike other government offices, the court may come into contact with nobles at any time, and if you are not careful, it may be a capital crime of great disrespect, and there is no place to bow angrily!
Although this was said to the prisoners in the hall, it was also a warning to the people in the hall. Everyone agreed.
Zhang He nodded, and let everyone disperse.
The places where the prisoners were needed in the court were the violent room, the weaving room, and the Ling room, and they were assigned the heaviest physical work - after all, no matter how bad it was, there were some jobs that women could not do.
Xu Guanghan was placed in a violent chamber - if there were no accidents, he would serve here for four years.
- Of course, the final year will be a little easier.
Xu Guanghan didn't have much time to sigh, and together with the convicts who were assigned together, he was busy recognizing dyes and learning color matching......
Heavy material, pungent smell......
During the break, some people complained that it was better to be assigned somewhere else! — but only complaining.
……
Liu Zhi didn't know all this.
was taught a lesson by Xijun and Zhang He one after another, and he naturally would no longer express concern about Xu Guanghan's affairs.
In fact, how to apologize to Xijun and Zhang He is the most urgent problem he needs to solve in recent times.
Zhang He is okay, there are Du Tuo and Zhang Pengzu to refer to the details, the winter solstice is approaching, he personally brewed a pot of pepper and cypress wine, ready to give it to Zhang He when the time comes, it is estimated that it will be enough to let Zhang He feel relieved.
Xijun's side is more troublesome.
- Liu Yi has never told Du Tuo and Zhang Pengzu that he has dealings with the queen, and he also knows that it is best not to let others know about this matter.
- Just like the fact that he had a relationship with Huo Guang......
- There are some things that even if everyone knows about them, they can't be said!
Since he couldn't ask his friends for help, Liu Yi could only find it by himself.
Of course, in addition to Du Tuo and Zhang Pengzu, Liu Ai already had to ask the Shi family for advice, but looking at his aunt's high-pitched enthusiasm for his cousin's marriage, Liu Ai still suppressed his own problems.
- If he went and asked how to make the little girl happy...... I'm afraid that the Shi family will immediately ask about the girl's ancestor......
Thinking about it for himself, Liu Yi naturally went to the cities.
Looking at the goods of the Jia people in the city, Liu Ying had to regret that he had been too diligent in the past - so much so that he couldn't find too novel items now!
- How to make Xijun happy?
Liu Yi already knew very well that the young queen was never difficult to coax, as long as there were a few interesting things, the problem was that as she grew older and more knowledgeable, there were items that could make her feel interesting...... It's really rare!
After going around the cities in the city, Liu Ill still found nothing, and in desperation, Liu Ill could only go to Hengmenwai Street.
- There are a lot of merchants gathered there, and there should be something new.
It is true that merchants from faraway lands will go out of their way to bring something unique, but it is not just a novelty - it is something to be brought into the forbidden door.
- Therefore, except for novelty, those things must be unobtrusive.
- However, most of the novelties brought by those merchants were spices and animals......
Walking to the cross bridge, Liu Yi was already scratching his head!
- How should he apologize!
“…… Childe ......" A thin voice sounded behind him.
Liu Yi was already startled, and subconsciously rushed forward a few steps before stopping and turning around, but saw a little girl in a cloth dress standing there, looking at herself in a daze, as if frightened by his movements.
Looking at the little girl who was only seven or eight years old, Liu Yi was already a little embarrassed.
"Just ......" Liu Yi asked the girl who looked a little familiar in a soft voice, "You called me?" ”
The girl nodded, but a hint of loss flashed in her eyes: "I ......"
Liu Yi only remembered who the girl was at this time: "The daughter-in-law of the Xu family!" ”
- It's Xu Guanghan's daughter!
Although he had contact with her several times in the Zhang family, Zhang He had a granddaughter, and every time this son-in-law was taken to her daughter by the Zhang family's wife, Liu Yi had never spoken to him.
The girl bowed her head and hummed softly.
Liu Yi didn't want to deal with the Xu family at all, so he immediately said, "I have something to ......."
The words of refusal were interrupted by the girl's movements.
Looking at the hosta held by the girl's hands, Liu Ying couldn't help but be stunned.
"This ......"
"Childe...... Can...... Buy...... This thing...... Not? The girl asked in a trembling voice.
(I hope that the Xu Pingjun I wrote will not disappoint everyone.) I have no feelings for the Xu family - this relative is really too transparent - however, I still have some feelings for Xu Pingjun, therefore, I will not have a deep love for the sword, but I think the Xu Pingjun I wrote should be considered special.
