Beijing, prison of the Criminal Department.

Wang Jue was lying on a straw mat reading a book.

He was looking at a history of embroidered couches, but for fear of being bumped into by Mr. Ge Wengshan, he took a copy of the Analects and put it on it.

Just as he was watching it with relish, Wang Bao suddenly reached out and pulled Wang Jue.

"Old man Ge is about to wake up."

Wang Jue was startled and hurriedly stuffed the book in his hand under him.

looked at it, but saw Ge Wengshan turn over and continue to sleep.

Wang Jue didn't dare to continue looking, and asked Wang Baodao: "Do you want to see it?" ”

Wang Bao shook his head.

Wang Jue couldn't help but "huh", and asked in a low voice, "You're not interested in these now?" ”

"Don't bother me." Wang Bao glanced at him, sat cross-legged, looked up at the small vent above the cell, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Jue pursed his lips, got up from the straw mat, and handed the book in his hand to the next cell.

"Lao Cen, the book will be returned to you."

Cen Zhaoxian took the book and put it in his sleeve, but leaned against the prison bar and sighed.

"What a sigh?" Wang Jue also sat down and whispered comfortingly: "Isn't it just going to prison?" After a long time, you get used to it. ”

"You don't understand." Cen Zhaoxian sighed: "I am unwilling to be reduced from an official to a prisoner." "The idea of Chinese network is the fastest

Wang Jue said curiously: "You turned out to be an official?" Tell me, how did you get in? ”

"I'm not just an official, I'm a foreigner from the Ministry of Officials. Officials, I don't say that you also know, that is the best yamen...... I was blinded by lard, and I brought myself into harm. ”

"Oh? What did you do? ”

Cen Zhaoxian sighed: "I didn't do anything, I just made friends carelessly and was implicated by a fool." What about you? ”

"Me?" Wang Jue couldn't help but sigh and said, "I colluded with the thief." ”

Cen Zhaoxian's face froze there.

"Hook...... Collusion with thieves? You...... Don't you have to be beheaded? ”

"No, my eldest brother said, he will take me out after squatting for a year."

Cen Zhaoxian was stunned again: "You colluded with the thieves for only one year?" I didn't do anything, but I'm going to be locked up for twenty years? No, your big brother? Who is your eldest brother? ”

Wang Jue turned his head and glanced at the other party.

He didn't plan to confess, so he said: "My eldest brother, the people of the green forest are called iron leopards, and they are good at using a mace......

Cen Zhaoxian was stunned when he heard this.

He thought about it for a long time, and immediately understood that this little boy was actually a strong man in the green forest, and he was caught by the imperial court but did not dare to kill him. As for his eldest brother, Iron Leopard, he must have made an appointment with him to come to the prison next year to rescue people......

Thinking like this, Cen Zhaoxian had an idea in his heart, he looked around, lowered his voice and whispered to Wang Jue: "Brother Wang, are you from the green forest?" ”

"Hmm...... That's okay. ”

Sure enough, Cen Zhaoxian secretly gritted his teeth, and he had a plan in his heart.

"The contemptible people have always admired the heroes of the green forest, and now they are very close to you. Why don't we give a bow? ”

Cen Zhaoxian said, his face full of hope.

This time, it was replaced by Wang Jue, who was stunned for a moment, and said, "Worship? ”

Cen Zhaoxian was worried that he would refuse, so he pulled it into his sleeve but found that he had no silver, so he handed over the embroidered history again.

"It's for my brother."

Wang Jue accepted the book from others, and he hesitated for a while.

Cen Zhaoxian has already bowed to the skylight, hugged his fists and said: "The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, today I and Wang Jue's brother are married to Jinlan, and they are brothers with different surnames, not to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to ......"

"Brother Cen, don't be like this." Wang Jue hurriedly shouted.

"Can you promise me?"

"Ouch, this kind of thing ......"

Wang Jue was a little embarrassed, so he looked at Wang Bao and motioned for him to help relieve the siege. talented

Wang Bao just looked at them with a sneer.

Oh, two idiots.

The next moment, the sound of bells sounded, but two jailers were seen escorting another prisoner in.

Cen Zhaoxian turned his head to look, and he only felt his blood churning.

"Luo Yuan! Good for you dog food, I'll kill you! Come on, you have the ability to come to my prison......"

Unexpectedly, the two jailers really opened Cen Zhaoxian's cell door and kicked Luo Yuan in.

Cen Zhaoxian was stunned for a moment, looking at Luo Yuan's old-fashioned face, and he didn't know whether to do it or to do it for a while.

Wang Jue was already in high spirits and shouted, "Lao Cen, is he your enemy?" Beat him up. ”

Wang Bao's eyes were even more sarcastic, and he felt that the people in this prison were all fools. But he also became interested, staring at the cell next door just waiting to see Cen Zhaoxian make a move.

Over there, Ge Weng Shan was woken up, rubbed his eyes, looked at the two new officials, and scolded with a snort: "The world is going down." ”

The surrounding cells were coaxed, and Cen Zhaoxian could not ride the tiger, so he gritted his teeth and threw himself at Luo Yuan......

The fight between two scholars is really ugly.

It's nothing more than pulling each other's clothes and rolling around on the ground.

None of them can fight, but Luo Yuan is obviously a little more brave than Cen Zhaoxian, and the chain in his hand is waved on Cen Zhaoxian, and Cen Zhaoxian is crying out in pain.

Finally, Shum Zhaoxian struggled and leaned against the wall of the prison and cried bitterly.

Wang Jue pointed at Luo Yuan and scolded: "Old boy, you beat my brother to tears, you wait." ”

Luo Yuan ignored him and sat cross-legged on the ground, his body still standing upright.

Wang Bao sneered again.

Three embarrassing fools.

Over there, Cen Zhaoxian cried louder and louder.

"Luo Yuan, I've been hurt so hard by you! You're still beating me...... How nice did I treat you in the past? You're still beating me...... I am a good and decent official, and you are implicated and imprisoned in front of you, and you still beat me......"

Luo Yuan still ignored him.

Cen Zhaoxian cried and was sad, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he pounced on him and wanted to beat Luo Yuan again.

Luo Yuan pushed him away and suddenly shouted, "What did I do wrong?!" ”

Shum Zhaoxian was intimidated by his momentum and didn't know how to respond.

"I speak up for the country, what did I do wrong?!" Luo Yuan said again.

After two shouts in succession, Cen Zhaoxian's neck shrank, too lazy to provoke him again, and sat back on the straw mat.

"What's that...... This straw mat is mine, don't grab it. ”

Luo Yuan didn't go to fight with him for any straw mats, and sat cross-legged.

After a long time, Cen Zhaoxian couldn't hold his breath first, and spoke again: "I said, Luo Baqian, do you have a backer?" Why are you acting so arrogantly? ”

"Yes."

When Cen Zhaoxian heard this, he regretted it in his heart.

Really! He shouldn't have beaten this idiot just now, no, he hit himself just now, so there's room for that.

He rubbed his hands, softened his tone, and asked Luo Yuan again, "I'm too impulsive...... Do you really have a backer? Who is it? ”

Luo Yuan glanced at him sideways, and said lightly: "The sages of the ages, Kong, Meng, Lao, Zhuang, all generations of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, are all my backers. ”

Shum Zhaoxian: "......"

He was breathless, and he wanted to faint.

"Okay, you're a lot of money! Trick me? I think you're a big fool! ”

Cen Zhaoxian was extremely angry, scolded a sentence that was still not enjoyable, scratched his scalp, and scolded: "How can there be a fool like you? How can I deal with an idiot like you? ”

Luo Yuan raised his head, looked at Cen Zhaoxian's face, and suddenly asked very seriously: "Do you think it's stupid to follow the path of the sage?" ”

"I didn't say that."

"But that's what you think in your heart." Luo Yuan said: "You all think I'm stupid. It is stupid to disobey those in power, it is stupid to stick to rules and morality, and it is stupid not to take shortcuts...... As for you, if you do something that looks stupid, you will scramble to avoid it. lest others say a word about Mu Yu's head. ”

"In this world, everyone is proving that they are smart. Officials seek power with cleverness, literati seek fame with cleverness, businessmen seek money with cleverness, and even ordinary people seek all kinds of petty profits with cleverness. But, these smart people are plotting and plotting, this Chu Dynasty is going to die! ”

Luo Yuan said, and stood up suddenly, his eyes were already red and swollen.

"Everyone in the world uses their wisdom to seek their own interests, and they have made a lot of holes in the world, but what fool is willing to fill them? I'm a big fool, I'm not just stupid, I'm useless. The court only gave me eight coins of silver, and whenever there was chaos, I only had one mouth to say, no one cared about death, no one cared about crying. What exactly am I for? ”

Cen Zhaoxian was stunned, not knowing if Luo Yuan was asking or talking to himself.

Luo Yuan took two steps forward and asked, "What's the use of reading the books of sages?" Why do people in the world open and shut their mouths to these truths, but they do not believe in their hearts? ”

"I don't know." Cen Zhaoxian thought for a while and said, "You don't talk much, in this prison, there is no water to drink when you are thirsty." ”

When Luo Yuan heard this, he only felt ridiculous.

I talk to you about the world, and you only care about whether you have water to drink?

Suddenly, an old voice spoke: "Xu is a person from the Chu Dynasty, he has long lost his heart." ”

Luo Yuan turned his head to look, but saw an old man in the cell next door getting up from the straw mat......
