The prison of the Criminal Department.

It was getting dark.

Naturally, there were no candles in the prison, only a hazy ray of moonlight shining through the air window.

From time to time, whispers were heard.

Someone in the opposite cell was arguing about why the roasted mutton in Donglai Restaurant tasted different from other places, and it seemed that the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department were quite high-grade.

Wang Zhen whispered for a long time before she finished talking about Bai Yizhang, and Wang Xiao could be regarded as having a general understanding of the situation in her family.

Wang Xiao shook his head and sighed: "In this way, the current situation of our Wang family is like walking on a tightrope, with Bai Yizhang's corruption case on one side and his political enemies on the other. Thanks to you and your second brother, you can still support it for so long. ”

Wang Zhen said again: "After you go out tomorrow, ask your second brother to stop running for me." I thought about it carefully, if they wanted to find a breakthrough in me, first, they would torture me, and second, they would stare at Wang Zhu to see if he would go to find the backer behind us. ”

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish?" Wang Xiao nodded: "I think it's like this, catch the eldest brother, and then spy on the second brother." ”

"Tell your second brother when you go out, I won't recruit anything, whether it's Jia Ningbo or Bai Yizhang, don't let your second brother go looking for it. In this way, this matter can only end with me, and no one will be involved. ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm here to save your eldest brother, not to save the likes of Jianingbo and Bai Yizhang." ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand? If there were no Jianingbo and Bai Yizhang, our Wang family would have collapsed in the blink of an eye. ”

"Big brother, you're thinking wrong." Wang smiled: "In today's situation, what we have to do is to let those people take action to protect you." Instead of risking your life to protect them, you know? ”

As he spoke, he put his head on the wooden fence and whispered his rough plan to Wang Zhen.

It's been a long time.

Wang Zhen sighed.

"Silly boy, it won't work. Your plan has too many loopholes, and if it fails, the risks are too great. ”

Wang smiled: "There are really so many foolproof things anywhere in the world. ”

Wang Zhen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Even if there is no Zhang Heng's death today, those people will find other reasons to put me or your second brother in prison." Fortunately, I came in this time, so that your second brother has time to arrange calmly. You believe your second brother, even if I die in prison this time, he will definitely be able to defend the Wang family. In this way, it is a safe plan. ”

"I don't want to be safe, I just want to get you out." Wang smiled, "Isn't the eldest brother willing to gamble?" Even if it's for the sake of sister-in-law, tiger head, and niuniu......"

Wang Zhen was silent for a moment.

"I have been studying since I was a child, and I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to be named on the gold list and glorify my ancestors, but I swore three times and ended up, but I all failed. I thought I could be a good husband, a good father, a good son, and a good brother. The result? The wife wants to be divorced, the father wants to cut off the relationship, the son is not close to me, and you and the second brother are so tired that one goes to prison and the other runs. You're too young to know how hard it is to get things done in this world, but I'm tired and hopeless in myself. It's easy for me to live, but it's hard to keep the royal family. Fortunately, I am dying in prison today, not in vain. In this way, I am satisfied. ”

Wang smiled: "Big brother once said that I am a genius? ”

"Oh, I said that."

"The eldest brother believed me and did as I said. I will be able to save your life and the royal family. Wang smiled, in the dark, there was a faint light in his eyes.

Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath.

But when he heard the king laugh and said, "I'll read the first word to my eldest brother." ”

"This poem, in the world in my mind, was written by Su Dongpo when he first experienced the Wutai poetry case, and the eldest brother should not have heard it."

In the dark, only the silhouettes of each other can be faintly seen.

Wang Xiao didn't deliberately suppress his voice this time.

In a rather solemn tone, he slowly groaned:

"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life.

The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. ”

Wang Zhen was silent for a long time.

He was so shocked that even his hands trembled a little.

These days, he has been under the pressure of Bai Yizhang's corruption, and his heart is full of worries, only to feel that life is so unsmooth.

But at this time, in this dark prison, a poem, sixty-two words, was knocked down like a slap in the face, and all his obsessions were shattered.

Wang Zhen's ears echoed Tao Wenjun's scolding coward again.

When he heard the word coward, he thought to himself: What do you ignorant woman know?

At this time, he realized that he was indeed a coward......

After a while.

Wang Xiao said softly again, "Big brother, you have a friend named He Wan, if he changes places with you, he will never abandon his life, go to the luxury of those high-ranking officials and powerful people to be grateful and sheltered, and then put all the burden on the shoulders of the second brother." It is precisely because He Wan has a gambling nature that he is full of spirit and dares to fight. I know that this world is difficult, and if you don't gamble, you won't lose badly. But because the world is difficult, if you don't have gambling, how can you succeed? ”

"You said that the heavens and the earth are hanging upside down, and the people are not living. Those scholars are high on the face, but behind them are all insidious. Do you dare to fight with them? This world is extremely difficult, so you can put the lives of your whole family on this table. You died today, thinking you were protecting your family, but the truth is that no one can earn the way of this world. ”

"You said you would protect me for the rest of my life, but now that you are tired, it is up to me to protect you. Only by protecting each other in this way can we call each other a family. ”

Wang smiled and said sentence by sentence, his tone was calm, not like a fifteen-year-old boy.

Wang Zhen was stunned.

The next moment, someone came down the aisle.

The light of the torch was extremely dazzling, and Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Interrogate Wang Zhen!"

The door opened, and the shackles rubbed on the ground.

Before Wang Zhen could answer, she was dragged out.

Wang Xiao looked at the empty cell next door, pouted, and said, "Big brother, remember what I said......

Suddenly, someone in the cell on the other side sighed: "A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Pingsheng...... Good words! ”

Wang Xiao was taken aback.

When I turned my head, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.

Feeling dark, he took a few steps forward and came to the other side of the prison.

"Who are you?"

"Lord Fu Qing."

"Oh."

That Fu Qingzhu seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Xiao's "oh", and asked with a smile: "You don't recognize me?" ”

The king smiled and said, "Why should I recognize you?" ”

Fu Qing said: "In the past few years, you haven't paid attention to the current situation? ”

Wang smiled: "I really want to pay attention, but I don't know how to pay attention, and I ask others and say I don't know." There is no newspaper news, and I don't know what's going on in the world. ”

Master Fu Qing seemed to feel a little funny, with a little sarcasm, and said, "Even Your Majesty doesn't know what is happening in the world, how can you know?" ”

Wang Xiao was stunned, and admired in his heart, this person is so big, it is Your Majesty when he speaks.

"Could it be that you are a big official?"
