Chapter 5 Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots

Bingji.

Famous ministers of the Western Han Dynasty, one of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion.

When he was a teenager, he studied the law, first served as a prison official in Lu State, and later moved to the court as a lieutenant prison.

At the end of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was edicted to govern the Wugu County Mansion Prison.

At that time, the emperor's great-grandson Liu Ai (i.e., Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty) had just been born for a few months, and was implicated in the case of Liu Ju, the crown prince of Wei, and was imprisoned.

Bingji sympathized with the innocent nature of the crown prince and Liu Aiji, selected cautious and kind female prisoners, and ordered them to take care of Liu Xun and live alone in a spacious and dry cell.

Bingji knew that the prince had been wronged, and he dealt with the witch Gu case, but he could not close the case for many years.

Liu was seriously ill and almost died several times, and Bingji repeatedly instructed the nursing mother who took care of him to treat it with medicine, and it was very kind to take care of Liu Ill, and he used his own money to provide him with food and clothing, teach him to read and write, and try his best to protect him.

More than ten years later, the king of Changyi was deposed, and Bingji recommended to Huo Guang that Liu was sick and had grown up.

After Liu Yi had ascended the throne, Bingji never took the initiative to mention his past achievements.

The emperor and his ministers did not know.

It wasn't until later that a maidservant found out.

Liu Yi was grateful and named him Boyang Hou, but he did not accept the resignation, and he thought that he was useless.

Bingji is generous and courteous, praised by Emperor Xuan and later emperors, painted like Qilin Pavilion, one of the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion, and the descendants of Fuyan.

…

Wei Yan thought about this history, and couldn't help but fall for this person's loyalty and character again.

The fierce and bold words just now were naturally to test this court captain and eunuch to see if he was really as pure and upright as he was in history.

Now it seems that this is indeed a good man.

Otherwise, based on what he just said, he would have been dragged out and beheaded.

"Brother Yan, you are a good person."

When Wei Yan was thinking about things, he was coldly given a good person card by Xiao Lori, and turned his head to see that Liu Xie was choking back tears, and pear blossoms looked at him with rain.

Wei Yan wanted to say, I don't want to be a good person, good people don't live long, and bad people live to old age.

Liu Xie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sobbed: "Now, only Brother Yan dares to say that his father is wronged, and he dares to say in front of that bad guy that Brother Yan is so brave." ”

As she spoke, she clenched her little fists, gritted her teeth and said, "When I go out, I must wash away my grievances for my father, take revenge, and kill all the villains who framed my father!" ”

"Xiaoyu."

Liu Wuwu hurriedly walked over and covered her mouth.

If this word spreads, I am afraid that those wicked villains will find ways to get rid of them.

Wei Yan glanced at the girl, and then remembered that the things in his hand had not been returned to the family, so he hurriedly handed it over and said, "Sister Wuwu, thank you." ”

Liu Wuwu blushed, quickly took it, lowered his head, and said softly: "I should thank you." Thank you for speaking up for my father. ”

The cell next door suddenly heard Liu Aiji's voice: "Brother Yan, you can accept the jade pendant and eight characters that are worried, and you don't have to return them to her." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of shame, and the jade pendant and Bazi that he was just about to put away had to be tightly clenched in the palm of his hand, his head almost hung down to his chest, and even his two white little ears were red.

Wei Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Aiji, and said, "Then what's the matter, this thing belongs to Sister Wuwu, how can I take it for myself?" Although I am poor, I am definitely not a greedy person! You can't insult me when you're sick! ”

Liu Aiji: "......"

"Fool!"

Even little Lori Liu Xie couldn't stand it anymore, rolled her eyes, and sighed.

In vain, she tried her best to steal her sister's things and stuff them on his body, but she didn't expect that this guy was an elm pimple, and he didn't open up at all!

"Koto, Konishi! Come on, come on, my brother is in a good mood today, and I'll tell you the story of the Monkey King twice. ”

Before Liu Yi could speak again, Wei Yan had already walked towards the two little brothers and sisters.

"Yay! All right! ”

Both Koto and Konishi cheered and were very happy.

Liu Wuwu hurriedly put away the things in his hand, turned around, and returned to the corner, Qingli's cheeks were still red, and her heart was pounding.

The eldest brother is like a father, and her brother's decision, she can't refuse.

So just now, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do at all.

Fortunately...... Thankfully, he didn't understand.

"Luckily, that kid was a fool and didn't understand. No matter how much the illness values him, he is from a poor and remote place far away, with no foundation and no identity, if we can go out in the future, even if he is demoted to an ordinary commoner by the saint, he must pay attention to the right person. He is never worthy of you. ”

A woman next to her whispered.

Liu Wuwu raised his head, looked at the young man who was telling a story, and was silent.

"Humph! Woman's view! Short-sighted! ”

Who knows, but these words were heard by Liu Xie Wei next to him, and the little Lori taunted the woman a few words, with a look of disdain, and snorted coldly: "If my sister is unwilling, I am 10,000 willing." ”

After that, I ran over and listened to the story.

Time flies by.

One day at a time, one month at a time.

Due to the decrease in the number of prisoners and the difference between men and women, the Liu Jiewei sisters and other women were forcibly taken away and imprisoned in the women's prison.

Konishi, because of her young age, stayed at the begging of her mother.

Wei Yan continued to tell stories to the two children.

After the Monkey King finished speaking, Wei Yan began to tell all kinds of fairy tales again, mainly to let the little brother and sister stop making trouble.

But these naΓ―ve but whimsical stories not only made the little brother and sister listen to them very devotedly, but the other people in the cell were also fascinated and amazed.

Bingji and the jailer also came to listen often, and they all enjoyed it.

"It's amazing that this young boy has so many wonderful stories in his head."

Bingji often sighed and had these stories recorded.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years.

Under Bingji's care, not only did Liu have no worries about food and clothing, and he grew up healthily, but the other prisoners in the cell also received many favors.

Wei Yan's stories are endless, and all of them are very exciting, which makes people immersed in them and happy to be happy.

In the past two years, the prisoners in the cell and the guards outside have become much closer to him, and they seem to have forgotten his humble origins.

Later in the second year.

Emperor Wu was ill for a long time, and the imperial doctor was helpless.

Su Wen, the eunuch who had conspired with Jiang Chong to frame the crown prince, took the opportunity to slander: "It must be those traitors who have not been cut off, who are secretly cursing Your Majesty." The servant heard that Wang Fangshi, the newcomer from Zhao Di, is quite good at the art of looking at qi, why don't your majesty call him to the palace and help your majesty take a look? ”

Emperor Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Su Wen was overjoyed, and immediately retired, went out of the palace to find the Wang Fangshi, and secretly discussed with him, taking the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and get rid of the prince's bloodline in the official prison.

After Wang Fangshi entered the palace, he climbed the tall building and pretended to look.

After a long time, Fang came down and said to Emperor Wu: "Chang'an Prison has the spirit of the Son of Heaven and often suppresses His Majesty's Qi, so His Majesty has been ill for a long time. ”

Emperor Wu was weakened and dizzy, and when he heard this, he was furious, and immediately sent an internal advisor to order Guo Sui to transcribe the prisoners in the 26 official prisons of Chang'an, and ordered: "Regardless of the severity of the crime, all will be killed!" ”

This night, Wei Yan in the cell had a nightmare, woke up, and suddenly heard the noisy footsteps outside, shouting constantly, and his heart suddenly sank.

It's time to come, it's still coming.

Life and death, it's tonight!
