Chapter 36: Finally Out of Prison

In the haze, Yin Tiancheng felt a basin of cold water splashed on him, and he couldn't help but wake up from the coma. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at the gloomy cell, a place that is all too familiar, Yin Tiancheng smiled dumbly. He didn't know how many thugs he had sent here, and he would never have imagined that one day he would become a prisoner here, losing his dignity and freedom like those criminals who were captured by his own hands.

"Lord Yin, are you awake?" A strange voice rang in his ears.

In front of Yin Tiancheng stood two five big and three thick jailers with a full face, and one of the fat jailers said to him: "My name is Wu Ren, the word Shoucai, he is my brother Wu Yi, the word loves money." ”

This naked hint, how could Yin Tiancheng not understand, but at this time, how could he have money to be filial, even if he had silver taels, he would never give it to these villains who blackmailed good people, so he turned his head aside and ignored them.

"Yin Tiancheng, don't put a stinky shelf on me, this is not the capital mansion, but a prison! You thief bones, in my hands, at any time to teach you that you can't survive or die. Wu Ren saw that he didn't know how to lift, and suddenly changed his face, pointed at Yin Tiancheng and scolded.

And Wu Yi whispered softly beside him, "Lord Yin, I have also heard of your prestige in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I will never do such a thing without a king and a father, I think that the Korean people framed you." Although he suffers temporarily at the moment, he will surely be cleared up after a long time. But under the eaves, one cannot help but bow his head. If there is no one to love money and things, I am afraid that no one will take care of them. ”

Yin Tiancheng looked at the two of them with a red face and a white face, and sighed secretly: "Zhou Bo, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, Zeng Yun, 'I have a million troops, but I know the value of the prison guards'!" Today's results are true. I'm in prison, and now I can't prove my innocence, and I'm afraid that the pain of flesh and skin is indispensable. ”

Wu Ren couldn't help but be angry when he saw that he was still silent, picked up a water-soaked leather whip and hit him hard, giving him a dismount on the spot.

This time the leather boots were pumped down, and Yin Tiancheng was beaten to the point that his skin was open and his whole body was scarred, but he still gritted his teeth and kept silent.

Wu Ren beat the clock, his hands were sore, Wu Yi saw that Yin Tiancheng's sin was almost unbearable, so he pretended to come over to dissuade him, but Yin Tiancheng still didn't eat hard and soft, and ignored them. When the Wu Ren brothers saw Yin Tiancheng's style, they estimated that they couldn't extort any silver taels from him, so they scolded and closed the prison door and went out to drink.

When Yin Tiancheng saw the two of them leaving, he endured the pain and leaned over to sit on the straw mat with a lot of thoughts. It was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a major setback, and he was ashamed of himself. In the past, when he handled the case, he was one step higher than others, but today he was framed by Li Yongxian, so how can he swallow this breath. Yin Tiancheng tried to return his emotions to normal, so as not to interfere with his judgment. The most important thing now is to sort out the experiences of the past few days and see what went wrong with you.

There was a sound of talking in the hallway, and then the door opened, and someone asked him, "Lord Yin, are you used to staying here?" ”

Yin Tiancheng thought it was Wu Ren's brother again, so he didn't pay attention to him.

"Come, unshackle him."

Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng knew that a certain dignitary came to see him, and hurriedly got up to greet him. He is already a prisoner, and ordinary people can't avoid him, and it is valuable to be able to visit him at such a time, but Yin Tiancheng never expected that the person who came to visit was a prince who usually had no friendship. However, he was immediately relieved, if there was no order from the emperor, it would be impossible for the prince to come to see him.

"Lord Yin, are you alright? I've deliberately arranged for you to be in a solitary cell, but I didn't expect you to suffer from flesh and skin. Wang Gonggong lost no time in pointing out that he had helped Yin Tiancheng.

"The guilty minister thanked the prince. The jailer was more polite to me and didn't want my life. ”

"These minions!" When the prince heard this, he glared angrily at Wu Ren and the others behind him, his eyes were not angry but threatening.

"The little one should be damned, please forgive my father-in-law." The two brothers Wu Ren knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Don't embarrass Lord Yin in the future, otherwise I will be embarrassed in front of the emperor." The prince's voice was not loud, but it was very serious.

The little eunuch beside Wang Gonggong glanced at Wu Ren, and the Wu brothers hurriedly brought a small table and two stools from the outside, and then withdrew from the cell. The little eunuch placed the food box he had brought with him on the table, and took out a few dishes and a pot of wine from it.

"Presumably, Lord Yin hasn't eaten for a day, so you might as well let the old slave accompany you for a few drinks."

Is this the emperor's concern, or is it a dying severed head? Yin Tiancheng didn't know, but no matter what the result, he could only accept it. So Yin Tiancheng sat down calmly and drank the cup.

Now it was the turn of the prince to be surprised, if he had been an ordinary official, he would have cried and complained to him about his grievances. He has seen people who are not afraid of death, but there has never been a person as free and easy as Yin Tiancheng, and the eyes of the prince couldn't help but have more respect.

"The emperor is not kind to you, why should you do something wrong?" The prince threw stones and asked for directions to test him.

"This is all framed by Li Yongxian's traitor, and I was careless and fell for the trick."

"That's what anyone in jail says."

"I'm not worried about my own safety, I'm worried that the emperor is still in danger." Yin Tiancheng sighed.

"Oh? The emperor is surrounded by such masters, how can there be danger? You said that Ambassador Li would assassinate the Holy Saint today, but you were wrong. ”

Yin Tiancheng said categorically: "If he didn't do anything rebellious today, it doesn't mean that he will stop there." ”

"Your argument is as groundless as your assertion a few days ago." The prince poured the wine in Yin Tiancheng's cup and said in a flat tone.

"I really don't have any evidence, otherwise I would have brought him to justice. However, there is an obvious truth, the one who can easily subdue the god Lu Wu is definitely not a mortal like you and me, Li Yongxian is either a god or a demon. Yin Tiancheng was indignant.

"But Li Yongxian can prove that Lu Wu is a monster, so it's you and not him who go to prison." Wang Gonggong's answer was to the point.

"That's what makes him smarter than me, and I sigh to myself. However, it also gives me more confidence to confirm my judgment that only by knowing the enemy's strengths can you have the greatest confidence in apprehending him. ”

"Lord Yin, I want to remind you that you are not a five-rank sword guard now, but a prisoner."

"Time is in a hurry, if Li Yongxian enters the temple a few days later, I will definitely be able to obtain evidence of his guilt."

Wang Gonggong listened to Yin Tiancheng talking in front of him, and suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the person in prison was not him but himself. The prince couldn't help but be glad that he was not on the wrong side, and it seemed that he had made the right bet on him this time. Why don't I try him one last time, the prince smiled and picked up the wine jug and said to Yin Tiancheng: "Lord Yin, do you know what kind of wine this is?" ”

Yin Tiancheng smiled: "I don't know what kind of wine, but I know the origin of the wine jug." ”

"Do you really recognize you?" Wang Gonggong's face changed slightly.

"This is a mandarin duck pot, which looks no different from an ordinary wine pot on the surface, but the pot is divided into two layers and contains two different wines. In other words, I don't drink the same kind of wine as you, and of course I can't tell the name of the wine. ”

"When did you discover the name of this flask?"

"Fortunately, I have a good nose, and when you pour the wine, I notice the difference between the two glasses. When I talked to you again, I found that when you poured wine for me, the spout of the pot was always to the left, but when you poured wine for yourself, the spout was to the right, so I knew that it was a mandarin duck pot. ”

"No wonder Your Majesty values you, you are indeed a rare talent." There are countless polite words in the officialdom of the prince, but this sentence is a heartfelt admiration. The prince poured him another glass of wine, but Yin Tiancheng still dried it up.

The prince asked, "Aren't you afraid that the wine I poured for you is poisonous?" ”

"You definitely won't."

"Why are you so confident?"

"If you were ordered to give me poisonous wine, why did you still let your followers carry Lu Wu's Golden Rainbow Sword? Wouldn't it be too much trouble to kill me at such great lengths? ”

"Hahahaha!" Wang Gonggong laughed, "It is a miracle that a person like you with mediocre martial arts can live for three years in the rivers and lakes, and today I understand that your wisdom is even more terrifying than peerless martial arts." ”

"Then you should believe that I am correct when I say that Li Yongxian is plotting against him?" Of course, Yin Tiancheng can't let go of the opportunity in front of him to prove his innocence.

The prince did not answer him directly, but said: "The wine that the old slave poured for you is just an ordinary imperial wine in the palace." But the wine I poured for myself was a bit of a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"The wine seeps into the drowsiness and scatters, and after drinking this wine, you will not wake up for five days in a row."

Yin Tiancheng was stunned, he couldn't understand why the prince did this, so he hurriedly asked, "What does the father-in-law mean by this?" ”

I saw that the prince slowly stood up and punched the little eunuch on the side, and the little eunuch immediately fainted. Then the prince took the golden rainbow sword from him and handed it to Yin Tiancheng and said: "Li Yongxian will leave for China in four days, and according to etiquette, the emperor will hold a banquet in Jiying Hall in three days for him to practice." Remember, you only have three days to solve the case. ”

Yin Tiancheng suddenly realized, he hurriedly took the sword in his hand and saluted and thanked him, "Please tell the emperor that if I can't bring him to justice before Li Thief leaves Beijing, I will apologize with death." ”

But the prince could no longer hear him, and his people were paralyzed like drunken chickens, and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Yin Tiancheng thought to himself that this was my last chance, not only did I have to wash away my grievances, but I also wanted to rescue Lu Wu and reinstate my father-in-law. So he took a deep breath, held his sword in his hand, and jumped out of the prison like a light hong.

"Oh no, come on, Yin Tiancheng has escaped from prison!" Wu Ren's hoarse screams resounded throughout the prison.
