Chapter 62: A Silly Smile and a Grudge (Part II)
Dali Temple itself does not have a cell, so like other criminals, Wen Ningzhi is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. However, he was separated from the rest of the Wen family and held alone in a dark and lonely torture area.
For several days, he was not punished, and no one interrogated him. Even, except for delivering food, cell bosses and errand servants rarely came to him, let alone say a word. Only the one-eyed Luo Guo who delivers food likes to tell him about the outside world.
Only then did he know that his reputation had become so filthy that everyone disdained to talk about him, mention him, and even look at him with disgust. It was a prison meal comparable to pig food, and it looked more lovely than him.
Deceiving the world and stealing fame, killing his wife for wealth, killing his relatives and children, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, that is, a national thief, a family thief, or a female crouch under the crotch of a monk, is this a man? Is this a genius? Is this the important minister of the state? It's worse than stinky shit that you stepped on!
What does it feel like to be worse than death? Wen Ningzhi felt it for the first time. He seemed to feel that all the rancid water, swill, and feces in the world were poured on him. He stinks, has been kicked to the bottom of hell, and will never be able to turn over! A few days ago, he was still admired by everyone, in a high position, wealth and beauty were at his fingertips, and the most important thing was that he was famous, and he could be immortal when he saw it, but in the blink of an eye, he lost a qiē and faced a stench for 10,000 years! Not to mention his life of fine clothes and food, but now it has become the life that he doesn't even want to live in the mud.
This ice and fire heaven came too violently, Wen Ningzhi worked hard all his life, did not hesitate to hurt the heavens and reason, did not hesitate to extinguish his conscience, and did not hesitate to humiliate Sven. The heavy blow made Wen Ningzhi cry and laugh in prison, and kowtowed in the direction of the palace for a while, and was on the verge of losing his mind every day.
"I was wronged! I was wronged! Someone framed Ben Hou! I want to see the emperor! Someone, someone! You can't throw Benhou in this place. Rotten and dead inside! He shook the cell door with all his might.
There was a bang, and I don't know what fishy, salty, and dirty water was poured on him, poured into his mouth, and choked on the living life underneath him. Now the weather is very hot, and the dungeon is very damp, and there are lice and prickly heat all over the body, and the hair is pulled into strands due to itching, and it is even more uncomfortable at this time, retching, almost vomiting out of the stomach. A few rats squeaked nearby. Seems to laugh at his situation.
Wen Ningzhi pointed at the mouse and scolded, and then howled and cried. He thought about making a decision on his own rather than suffering a crime, but although it was worse than death now, he just didn't have the courage to do anything to himself. When he tried to hang himself, he felt the indescribable feeling of being unable to breathe, and his whole body was suffocated to explode. When he strangled Leng Xiang to death, did she feel the same way? Come to think of it. He was terrified, huddled in the corner, and screamed uncontrollably.
Death, it's terrible! It's horrible!
All right. Go to bed! Go to sleep! It must have been a nightmare. As long as you fall asleep, when you wake up again, you will find that it has all changed back to its original state. He was still the same well-dressed and handsome man. is a high-ranking and talented, and everywhere you go, you will be surrounded by the admiring gaze of beautiful women. was followed by the respectful eyes of the talented people, Ning Anhou!
Wen Ningzhi is like an ugly insect, constantly sleeping in a dark corner, starving, ignoring the stench, itchiness, and stuffiness around him, but he will always wake up when he sleeps. Every time he opened his eyes, he was desperate to find that the nightmare had not woken up. Or, his whole life is a nightmare that he can't wake up from!
Wen Ningzhi hugged his head and cried, fell to the ground and rolled, hating to break his body and break the qiē in front of him.
Then one day, he saw a pair of men's feet, pacing to the prison door, with an indescribable dignity, and a sense of arrogance of life and death, and doing whatever he wanted, so slowly walked over and stood still.
Looking up and seeing that majestic face, Wen Ningzhi couldn't believe it at first, and then suddenly felt that he saw a glimmer of light in the nightmare, and rushed over with a rolling crawl, and threw himself on the cell door, making a sudden crashing sound.
His crazy movements and expression frightened Xiao Zuo, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, faintly disgusted and a little frightened in his heart. The feeling annoyed him, and he couldn't help but frown. He is the emperor and the king of a country, how can he be afraid!
So he took two more steps, kept his distance from the cell door, and looked down.
"Wen Ningzhi?" He couldn't be convinced. The person in front of him is worse than a beggar, with a foul smell all over his body, and he is not half human, is it really Ning Anhou, who is still attracted to women when he is middle-aged?
"Your Majesty! Emperor! You're finally here! Wen Ningzhi slipped along the Mulan on the cell door, knelt on the ground, crying, feeling so happy in his heart, but his body kept swinging.
Xiao Zuo subconsciously looked left and right, wanting to find someone to confirm. However, he came secretly, and he also had something unsightly to say to Wen Ningzhi, so he had already retreated, and at this time, he was just facing the "thing" in front of him alone.
Listening to the voice, it was very hoarse, and it did not have the clarity of the crepe, nor the elegance of the soft voice. But who is this person, if not Wen Ningzhi? The people below will never be mistaken, but in this environment, Wen Ningzhi has exposed his true nature.
People, how many disguises are there in this life? Especially in front of others. If the heart is black, when the skin is really torn out, when it falls from heaven to hell, there is no need to look at any soul, the true appearance is ugly, dirty and disgusting enough!
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, you have to be the master of the minister." Wen Ningzhi howled a few times, and then cried to Xiao Zuo, "It must be, someone must have framed it." Your Majesty, please return your innocence! ”
"Oh? Treat unjustly? Innocent? Where is the wrong? Where is innocence? Xiao Zuo spoke, suddenly feeling sarcastic.
He understood that Wen Ningzhi had fallen to this point, and someone had secretly designed it. But based on the facts, is Wen Ningzhi really innocent and wronged? And what about him? However, he is a real dragon, the chosen Son of Heaven by God, and no matter what he does, he is right! He is for Da Zhao and for the country! What could be wrong!
"Your Majesty!" Wen Ningzhi was so shocked that he forgot to cry.
He had gone crazy before, all because of the sudden stimulus, and there was no one to save him. At this time, the emperor came to the prison, he saw hope, and his brain instantly cleared up. He suddenly didn't lift it, was stripped of his clothes and whipped by Amichi, and was seen by Zhao Tianyu's self-proclaimed saint protégés. After that, Chahe offered to vote for his name, and Ailianju collapsed, revealing the gold and silver jewelry below, and the piles and piles were one by one, indicating that someone had dug a pit for him to jump. Others don't know the inside story, the emperor clearly knows why the red lotus died, doesn't he save him from fire and water?
He looked at Xiao Zuo's indifferent face, which was reflected by the fire of the dungeon, and his heart was shocked. The despair, like a flood, instantly swallowed up all his expectations.
"Your Majesty, Red Lotus...... I...... You ......" he stammered and couldn't say a word. It's as if the life-saving straw that he desperately grabbed turned into nothing in his hands in an instant.
"I'm sure you've heard that, too." Xiao Zuo said slowly, "Your stupid son, in public, exposed the poisoning of the red lotus, which made the fetus in her womb a stillborn, and caused her to have two lives. Also, you can't refute the physical evidence, and you can't tell the origin of the secret letters, the royal seals, and the gold, silver, and jewelry. Wen Aiqing, it's not that I won't help you, it's that you can't turn the case over. ”
"But the emperor ......"
"It's not you, it's the real murderer, there is always someone who wants to come out and eliminate the monstrous anger of the people." Xiao Zuo smiled suddenly, his eyes and teeth were cold and shining, like iron arrows, piercing countless transparent holes in Wen Ning's heart, "If this person is you, I will remember the past love and protect your Wen family from being implicated, and the crime will only affect one person." Moreover, although it is capital punishment, it is painful and does not suffer much. Before you go, you can be safe. If this person is someone else...... No, there won't be anyone else's. But if you don't confess your sins honestly, not only will no one believe your crazy words, but you won't be able to spread the word to prison, and your Wen family will still be bleeding. Yourself, Wen Aiqing, have you heard of the methods of the Criminal Department? That's even a ghost, you can peel off the skin. ”
Click...... Wen Ningzhi didn't speak, but his upper and lower teeth collided, reflecting the deepest tremor of his soul.
"Monarchs and ministers, you have answered me, and I have also responded to you." Xiao Zuo mended the knife in Wen Ning's heart, "You have to understand, I am already quite lenient, I could have let you die in prison without saying anything, and I will lose the face of my Da Zhao." You say, "Shall I treat you well?" ”
Wen Ning nodded subconsciously, because she was too desperate and too frightened, she couldn't do anything else, but in her heart, she had never been so sober.
There are some things that cannot be revealed, and they cannot be sorted out. The emperor's words couldn't be clearer, he became an outcast. And this sin, he has to be topped, and if he doesn't, he has to be topped. The ending is the same, but it can be changed to a relatively happy process. It turns out that he is just a puppet who pulls the strings, no matter how hard he performs at the front stage, he can't get those glory, and when it's time to throw it away, it's still worthless.
The so-called gentleman's kindness is just because if his death is unclear, Huo's death has become a doubtful case, and the emperor can't explain it. Where is it for his good? Where is the need to give him a ride? On the contrary, this is a sue to him, as long as he is obedient, he can live a good life before he dies, and he will not be so painful when he dies.
Does he have a choice?
There were back then, and there were. If he hadn't been blinded by glory and wealth, he would have let go of that respectable woman. But now, it's gone...... Gone...... Gone!
"Our monarchs and ministers are all here. You do the last thing for me, and I swear by the country that I will live up to you. Xiao Zuo knew that Wen Ningzhi had already understood, took a step closer, endured the nausea, put his hand into the wooden fence, and patted Wen Ningzhi's head, "Wen Qing, do it yourself." With that, he turned around and left. Still walking all the way, with a noble bearing. Cover up, that extremely filthy heart.
