14. Get out of jail
"Is King Yan also colluding with the bandits?!" Song Zhong probably also participated in the fight, and the originally meticulous hair fell two strands, floating in front of his forehead in embarrassment.
"What bandits, who are the bandits?" I replied coldly.
"Don't pretend to be a official! If you and Zhu Yanxue are in the same cell, even if you are arrested, you can't get rid of it! Song Zhong was a little angry.
"Adults are really good at laughing, your people inexplicably took me back, it doesn't count, when I took us, I obviously saw the bandits in your mouth beat us all, I thought that the adults wanted to eliminate harm for the people, and they came to rescue the little woman, who knew that it was so indiscriminate, but we were also regarded as bandits. How did the level of Jinyiwei drop to this level now! ”
Song Zhong listened to my words, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "This official wanted to kill you, but looking at your sharp teeth, killing you is simply cheap!" This official wants to take you back to the capital and send you to the Jinyi Health Department, so that you can taste the seventy-two punishments of the Jinyi Guard! ”
"Thank you, thank you, I've always used it for others, and I've never greeted myself, but I've always wanted to try." I glared at him and said disdainfully.
Song Zhong trembled with anger, and people blindfolded me again, when he stuffed into a carriage and began to hurry to the capital. This Song Zhong is the leader found by Zhu Yunwen in order to rebuild the Jinyi Health Department, and he is eager for quick success, Zhu Yuanzhang has served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, even though he is only the official title of the third grade, but he has the ability to be a first-class minister, and he also has the supreme right, but this Song Zhong, like an upstart in the officialdom, has the title, and has neither real material nor real rights, so he is very incompetent.
But before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he had almost killed all the talented people, leaving only some straw bags and nerds, Zhu Yuanzhang actually thought that as long as there were some vassal kings and uncles covered, Zhu Yunwen's road to the emperor could be smooth sailing and singing all the way, but he did everything he could, and he didn't count that these vassal kings were Zhu Yunwen's biggest enemies. Zhu Yunwen used these fools to confront many vassal kings, and now he can barely support them, but after a long time, he will be unable to do it.
But no matter what, now that I have fallen into the hands of this fool, if he doesn't kill me for a day, I will be Zhu Di's drag for a day. In addition, I don't know anything about Zhu Di's current situation, and my heart is even more anxious.
Song Zhong only ordered someone to give me a little water and a steamed bun every day, so my physical strength was very poor. When I arrived at the Jinyi Health Department in the capital, he tortured me every day to torture me for fun. None of them were big punishments, they were all small tortures that pinched my fingers and poked silver needles, and even the shackles I wore were jagged inward, piercing my wrists and ankles whenever I moved, and I had never done it because my cuffs and trouser legs were bloody. After just over 10 days, I was tortured to the point that I couldn't get up, and I could only lie in the corner of my cell every day.
To the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, I have always had a very calm attitude towards life and death, anyway, I am not a person of this era, life can not make any contribution here, death will not bring sorrow here, maybe by death, I can also free my soul, return to my modern age, and no longer be poisoned by this wind and society.
But in the past two days, I have suddenly become afraid, and I am very afraid!
I'm still not afraid of death. I'm afraid of...... I died here, I'm afraid Zhu Di won't know. On the day Zhu Yanxue escaped from prison, he obviously sent someone to rescue me, but he didn't find me, is he still looking for me? Or has he returned to Beiping? I really wanted to see him one last time, but I really didn't know what to say to him, I just wanted to see him. He's the only thing I'm concerned about here.
Song Zhong's torture is getting worse every day, and I began to realize that these punishments of the Jinyi Health Department are really not simple, and I have met many fierce people in the past who don't say half a word no matter how they are tortured, at that time I only felt that it was stubbornness, and now that I am in this position, I know how much endurance it takes to endure!
I almost felt like I had reached the end of my life, and I even saw the shadow of Zhu Di from time to time, sometimes holding a sword, sometimes holding a handkerchief, and sometimes helping me wear a jade bracelet. But every time he wakes up from pain, he disappears---- so I'm not afraid of pain, I'm afraid that he will disappear.
I don't know how long it took, I just felt that I was going to die in the next second, this time because my body was too uncomfortable, I couldn't fall asleep, I only felt a piercing pain, and I couldn't see Zhu Di in the illusion. But when I opened my eyes, there was indeed an extra figure in front of me, and I tried to look at his face, but it was not Zhu Di.
"Xu Gongzi......" I shouted weakly.
Xu Huizu didn't answer, but ordered someone to open all my shackles and clean all my wounds.
It still hurts so much that I can't catch anything, and I don't want to scream. I can only bite my lip and hold back. I fainted in pain again and again, and I woke up again and again. The last time I woke up, I was already on a large soft bed, I thought it was a dream, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I rushed to Zhou's body and the pain did not abate. A girl in an embroidered dress helped me up in front of the bed, fed me a bowl of ginseng soup, and fed me half a bowl of fragrant rice porridge. ”
"Xu Mansion." The girl smiled lightly, "I'll invite the master, the master said, miss, you will call him as soon as you wake up." ”
"Which Xu Mansion?"
"How many Xu mansions are there in this capital?" The girl sneered, turned and left.
After a while, Xu Huizu really appeared in front of me, he frowned, and his eyes were a little dazed when he looked at me, "Why were you arrested by Jinyiwei?" What about brother-in-law? ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Huizu said this, which means that he has nothing to do with my arrest, I just thought that he was also involved in arresting me. "I don't know, they arrested me and said they were going to kill me." I tried to put on a smile and said to Xu Huizu.
He sighed, "You're so weak, you probably don't know what's going on these days. ”
It turned out that Zhu Yunwen asked Jinyiwei to command Song Zhong during Zhu Di's visit to Beijing, and Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, to jointly investigate whether there was any misconduct in Yanwangfu. At this time, he had agreed to Zhu Di's resignation and put him back in Beiping, but before Zhu Di left, none of Zhu Yunwen's ministers did not persuade Zhu Yunwen to capture him directly.
Later, Song Zhong was responsible for recovering Zhu Di, and I asked Zhu Di to leave first, Song Zhong did not intercept Zhu Di, but he caught me and took me back to the capital to torture for many days, after all, he felt that it was not a matter to detain me privately, so he reported to Zhu Yunwen, saying that I was Zhu Di's concubine, Zhu Yunwen heard this, and sure enough, he decided to use me to lure Zhu Di back, so that Song Zhong continued to detain me. And this matter was known to Xu Huizu, and he thought of his love for me, and took the initiative to ask Zhu Yunwen for help, saying that he was willing to take me back to the mansion for detention. Zhu Yunwen also probably felt that if I was killed in Song Zhong's hands, I would lose my bargaining chips, so he agreed to Xu Huizu's request.
Knowing this reason, I arched my body instead and said to Xu Huizu, "Thank you......"
Xu Huizu frowned, and said after a while, "Why can't my brother-in-law trust the emperor?" The emperor asked him to return to Beijing, and he would return to Beijing, and he would not do anything to him. Besides, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. No wonder the emperor was so angry. ”
I was a little stunned, Xu Huizu grew up in Beijing since he was a child, he was at odds with his brother-in-law, but he had a good relationship with Zhu Yunwen, no wonder he is defending Zhu Yunwen like this now.
I was determined not to argue with him, so I pushed my body and lay down again.
At this moment, suddenly a female voice accompanied by the voice of a child, I glanced at the corner of my eye, and my scalp became numb---- Mrs. Xu Jiuniang walked in with two children. Although Jiu Niang smiled, her smile was a little stiff, "Miss Helian, hello." I've suffered a lot this time, haven't you? Thanks to our Hui Zu, we have been able to keep you back. ”
I had to reluctantly say, "Thank you, Mrs. Xu." ”
Jiuniang smiled and said to Xu Huizu casually, "I didn't know before, but now I know that Miss Helian turned out to be my brother-in-law's concubine, and I really don't know Taishan." Miss Helian has suffered such a big grievance in Beijing, she must be very homesick, I have already repaired the book to Beiping, and asked my brother-in-law to pick up Miss Helian. ”
"What! Who told you to write a letter?! Xu Huizu was taken aback after hearing Jiu Niang's words, and asked Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang glanced at Xu Huizu dissatisfiedly, "Miss Helian is a relative, and we are very welcome to come to the house, but she is injured, so we must inform Yanwangfu." ”
Xu Huizu's face was full of unhappiness, and he couldn't lose his temper with their mother in front of the two children, so he said impatiently, "You take the children to the garden, I have something to say to Helian." ”
Jiuniang was stunned, looked at me, and finally chose to go out.
As soon as Jiuniang left, I couldn't help but burst into tears and said to Xu Huizu, "Do you really want to put the prince to death?" Anyway, it's a relative! ”
"Ahem, don't say that, I didn't know Jiu Niang was so reckless. Even if my brother-in-law comes again, it won't be good, and he may not come again. Xu Huizu said with his eyebrows lowered.
"The prince values love and righteousness, and you know very well whether he will come. You also know what the consequences will be. After saying this, I turned around and turned inward, unwilling to say another word to Xu Huizu.
