Chapter 4: Bingji

"The monkey king shouted loudly, 'Little ones, the old grandson is here!'

A group of monkeys came to kowtow, greeted into the depths of the cave, invited the monkey king to ascend the throne, and held a wall of wine to catch the wind, and said: 'Congratulations to the king, the upper realm has been going for more than ten years, and you must be proud to return?' ’

Monkey King Dao: I've only been around for more than half a month, and I've been there for more than ten years?

The monkeys said: "King, you don't know the hour in heaven. One day in heaven is a year in the lower realm. May I ask you, my lord, what is the official residence? ”

The next day, the story continued.

In the cell, men, women, and children, all approached the front, listened with relish and were extremely engaged.

The adjacent cells also pricked up their ears and held their breath, eager to stick their heads out of the iron bars to listen.

Two sessions a day, at the end of the lecture.

Every time it ends, it is the most wonderful place, which attracts everyone to scratch their ears and cheeks, impatient, and can't wait to listen to him in one go.

But everyone knows that this kind of depressed day can only be relieved by this story, and after listening to it all at once, what will I do in the future? A long stream of water is the best.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Life in the cell has gradually changed from strangeness and panic to familiarity and calm.

On this day, Wei Yan was telling the story of the Monkey King's three beats to the white bone spirit, and everyone listened to the immersive scene, as if they were fascinated, anxious and angry, and they couldn't wait to rush into the story immediately to beat the stupid Tang monk.

No one noticed that a middle-aged official wearing a black robe and a ribbon was already standing outside the cell, listening attentively.

Several jailers stood respectfully behind the official, at first a little impatient, and wanted to come forward and scold, but when the official stopped them, they had to listen for a while, and then they were immediately attracted to it, and like the other prisoners in the adjacent cells, they all craned their necks and did not move.

"Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown!"

When Wei Yan finished telling this story, the jailers were all stunned, with unfinished expressions, and almost forced him to continue, but fortunately woke up in time.

The one in front of him, but the court lieutenant and eunuch appointed by His Majesty, came to this county prison to review and deal with the witch case.

If someone points at any one, they can destroy their clan.

At this time, the prisoners crowded by the iron fence found that an official came in and looked at the ribbon on his waist, and the lowest was also a thousand-stone official.

The faces of the people changed, and their hearts immediately became frightened.

Is this going to be beheaded?

Holding the list in his hand, he walked to the door of Wei Yan's cell, looked at the young man who had just danced and told a story, smiled slightly, and said: "The story is very exciting, but it is too absurd, it is okay to relieve boredom, and it must not be taken seriously." What is your name? ”

Wei Yan hurriedly got up and said, "Wei Yan." ”

"Wei Yan?"

Ting Wei Jian looked at the list in his hand, his eyes flashed, and said, "The surname is Wei, the person of the Wei family, right?" ”

However, when he saw the identity annotation on the list, Fang frowned and wondered: "Since he has just come to the capital, he has no direct relationship with the Wei family, and he is not a child of the Wei family, why is he still locked up here?" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly shouted: "My lord, so I was wronged." I don't know anyone from the Wei family at all, just a passer-by who came to Kyoto to eat. ”

The court lieutenant looked up at him, then turned his head to look at the jailer beside him, and said solemnly: "In this prison, there are not children of the Wei family, nor children of the royal family, haven't they all been executed?" Why is there another one? Take it out! ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, stiffened, and hurriedly exclaimed: "My lord, I am actually not wronged at all, I am indeed a child of the Wei family!" You see, my surname is Wei. ”

The jailer hurriedly explained: "Lord Hui, it wasn't us who deliberately omitted him, it's really the emperor...... The former emperor and grandson tried their best to stop it, saying that this kid was not only a member of the Wei family, but also a member of the royal family, so ...... That's why I didn't dare to take him out. ”

"Former emperor's grandson?"

The court lieutenant was stunned for a moment, looked at the list in his hand, and saw the name at the top at a glance.

"Who is Liu Aiji?"

He asked, looking into the cell.

Liu Yi's expression was calm, and he said brightly: "I." ”

The court lieutenant stared at him carefully for a while, then pointed at Wei Yan and said, "You said that he is a member of the Wei family and a member of the royal family, what is the matter?" ”

Liu Yi said without humility or arrogance: "His surname is Wei, and he is loved by my grandmother, so he is naturally a member of the Wei family." He was my father's son-in-law, and he was already married to my sister, so he was naturally a royal man. Is there something wrong? ”

Wei Yan was secretly moved.

Unexpectedly, the idol in his mind, the Emperor, would also talk nonsense, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

The court lieutenant's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since you have already decided to marry, can you have a token to testify?" ”

Liu Yi's face changed slightly, and when he didn't know what to do, Liu Jiewu, who was behind Wei Yan, suddenly said sweetly: "Of course there is, my father personally handed over my sister's birthday and personal jade pendant to Brother Yan." ”

Wei Yan: "??? ”

Liu Xie frowned at him with wide eyes and looked at his waist.

Wei Yan immediately understood, and hurriedly reached out and took out a piece of warm jade and a piece of paper.

He was stunned for a moment, didn't look at it, walked to the prison door, handed the thing outside with a calm face, turned his back to his hand, and gave the little girl a big thumbs up.

The court lieutenant took it in his hand, first carefully inspected the piece of jade, then opened the paper and glanced at it, then raised his eyes and looked at the cell: "Liu Wu is worried?" ”

The girl who was hiding in the corner and had already blushed had no choice but to walk out with her head down and said softly, "Yes." ”

The court lieutenant glanced at her and said, "Is this a fact? You were indeed betrothed to Wei Yan by the former crown prince? ”

The girl lowered her head, looking shy, but without any hesitation, she whispered, "Hmm." ”

Wei Yan glanced at her deeply, and secretly thanked her in his heart, his life was finally saved temporarily.

"That being the case, then he can be regarded as a son of the royal family."

The court lieutenant returned the things to Wei Yan, ignored him anymore, looked at the former emperor and grandson again, and said in a gentle tone: "My name is Bingji, and I was sent by Your Majesty to review the case of Wu Gu. Although you are the son of the prince of sin, you are still young and have not participated in the rebellion. I can prepare a separate cell for you, and send two older female prisoners to serve you. If you have anything to say, you can ask the jailer to come to me at any time. ”

With that, he prepared to leave.

Liu Ai said suddenly: "My lord, it's good for me to live here, I don't want to change cells, I appreciate the kindness of my lord." ”

Bingji was stunned for a moment, stared at him for a few moments, and nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Liu Yi suddenly said: "Please tell me that my father is ...... How is he? ”

Bingji was silent for a moment, and Fang said, "Hang yourself and die." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the prisoners in the cell changed, and their hearts were full of compassion.

When Bingji was about to leave, Wei Yan suddenly shouted: "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed by a traitor, and he raised troops in order to protect himself, the so-called witchcraft is completely a trick to deceive people!" Your Majesty Shengming will definitely wake up in time, kill the traitor, avenge His Royal Highness the Prince, and wash away the grievances! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, and their faces changed greatly.

At this time, it was the time when His Majesty was angry and went on a killing spree, even the people closest to His Majesty did not dare to speak for the prince, let alone deny the witchcraft of witchcraft!

This young man is so bold, he is simply looking for death!

These words not only frightened the prisoners in the cell, but even the jailers and Bingji were taken aback.

"Presumptuous! The kid is looking for death! ”

Bingji's face turned pale, and he was furious.

Wei Yan said impassionedly: "It's not a pity for the kid to die!" Even if you are beheaded, state the facts! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really wronged! Your Majesty has been deceived by traitors, and sooner or later he will regret it! ”

"You...... Shut up! ”

Bingji was shocked and angry, but he did not immediately order the jailer to take him out and behead him, but flicked his robe and left in a hurry.

After walking out of the cell, his face sank, and he said coldly to several jailers behind him: "Today's incident, if it spreads, you and I will lose our heads!" DID YOU KNOW? ”

Several jailers turned pale, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will never dare to spread this matter." ”

Bingji took a few deep breaths, his face regained his calm, and said in a deep voice: "Don't embarrass that young man, the people in the cell, all of them are treated well." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the majestic palace in the distance, Fang sighed and walked away quickly.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

In the cell, in the frightened eyes of everyone, Wei Yan suddenly laughed.

Now that this one is here, then it's stable!
