Chapter 105: A Thousand Years in the World (I)
Songshan, in the courtyard of the deep mountains, a few small forest dogs are frolicking and jumping in the garden, all of them are solid colors, some are black, some are white, shuttle quickly, leaving a black or white afterimage, whining and barking from time to time, making some movements, milky voices, are still just puppies, quite cute.
A lady in red walked along the garden path, and let the forest dogs run around her feet and be coquettish, but she did not take them into her arms and pet them as before, and walked by herself, as if she had not heard of them.
She is Ruilai, from the subordinates who served beside her, she vaguely heard the news of Quan Ce's imprisonment, but the news is not accurate, and she doesn't know the cause and effect, which makes her suspenseful, uncertain, unable to do anything, a heart is empty, there is no place to arrange, the sun rises and the moon sets and counts the days, finally today, Quan Li should come to her to listen to the errand.
Thinking carefully, but his face was flushed, and he twisted his body uncomfortably, when did he start to care about him, and when did he start to ask for news from Princess Taiping's mansion?
"Bah" Rui Lai secretly took a few sips, it must not be so, fake, Quan Ce also has a life-saving grace for her, she just wants to repay the favor.
Erased the complicated thoughts in his heart, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face, looked up at the sun, and walked to the front yard, always to find out the exact news, what crime he committed, whether he can find a way to crack it, although he is young, he is the pillar of the family, if he stays in prison for a long time, the family is afraid that it will be unstable.
Quan Li came to the courtyard precisely at the time point, every time he came, he would bring some rare things to Ruilai, those few whisk dogs from the Western Regions, he brought, this time, he did not empty hands, brought her a maroon pony, short in size, four thick hooves, climbing up the mountain, like walking on the ground, "This horse is called Guoxiama, from Silla, the most docile and hard-working, for the lady to call"
Quan Li Wensheng introduced, as usual, but his face can't deceive people, his cheeks are dark and thin, he walks in the mall, socializes a lot, and has a bit of blessing, but now, the pointed chin is all out.
"At this time, you are still thinking about giving me playthings, I should thank you for my life," Relai said with mixed emotions in her voice.
"The lady doesn't need to thank the little ones, they are all things that the big man ordered, and the small ones should do their best" Quan Liping was peaceful, listening to the voice, and there was no fluctuation.
Rui Lai was confused, too lazy to fight, and blurted out, "Why is Da Lang imprisoned?" Is there a way to say that the trial and sentence are determined? Is there a bad pool in the family? ”
Quan Li was silent, he was ordered to take care of Ruilai, and set up a business for her, but he didn't involve anything else, he didn't know the details, he only knew that this woman's origin was tortuous, thanks to Da Lang's kindness and life, but in this world, the most important thing is the person who will take revenge.
Ruilai smiled lightly, "You are a loyal person, but I am not a bad person, so let's do it, the personal guard next to Da Lang, called the Jedi, you go and invite him, I have something to say"
Quan Li hesitated for a moment, "The lady ordered, the little one should have complied, but it was too late, and the Jedi accidentally collided with the nobleman, was scolded by the cane, and rested on the couch"
"Who did you collide with?" Reilai sensitively felt that something was wrong and immediately asked.
Quan Li hesitated and replied, "Nayan Mansion Shangsan Langjun, Wu Yanxiu"
"Hmph" Rui Lai snorted coldly, and gave the order directly, "Except for the Jedi, who is in charge of the affairs of Da Lang, call me quickly"
Also in Songshan, Quan Yi, who lived in Songshan Academy, received a letter and also got the news that Quan Ce was imprisoned.
His expression was very complicated, as if he was smiling but not laughing, as if he was crying but not crying, shaking his head, his mouth trembled, and muttered to himself, "The way of this world, in the end, is intolerable......
With a trace of excitement on his face, he walked quickly to the front of the case, wrote a letter, and arranged for Quan Fu to be sent to a woodcutter's house on the mountain.
That night, the woodcutter's body was found at the foot of the mountain, and although his family had not been harmed, the old father and mother, sick wife and young daughter, who he had left behind, were guarding a thatched house, helpless, but he did not know where the road was ahead.
Quan Yi heard the news, personally went to mourn, compassion was moved, generously gave them a family of money and silk, and instructed Songyang County to make a good life investigate, don't let the murderer get away with it, sigh for a long time before leaving, that night, Quan Yi went crazy, tossed the new love for most of the night, so that he couldn't get up early the next morning, and invited a doctor to diagnose and treat, saying that he was weak and felt evil, and explained that he had to live quietly and not go out to see the wind.
Lijingmen, Quan Ce's prison is on the third floor of the basement, the most difficult place, there is yellow mud soup under the feet, the walls around are deeply damp, covered with green moss, touch it, slippery and greasy, creepy, the top of the head is dark, there is no light, the entire underground three floors, the only place that is somewhat bright, is the execution room, the flames in it are not extinguished, and the heat wave hits people.
Lijingmen can get the title of Routine Gate, not generally, no matter who is a family member, entering this door, no matter whether there is a grievance or a crime deserved, even if it is to be acquitted in the afternoon, they still have to walk on the torture instrument at noon, they are not executed for the purpose of extorting confessions, but only for the sake of execution.
Quan Ce is the first exception to Lijingmen.
Dongdu Qianniuwei arrested him from the court, after handing over, the Lijingmen officials concocted him for more than two hours according to the tradition, the whole body was fleshy, and it was destroyed in an instant.
Hou Sizhi heard the order and did it, and he galloped and saved Quan Ce from the torture rack.
The errand of attacking the heart, Hou Sizhi honestly and unceremoniously took it on his body, big fish and meat, brocade clothes and jade food, corroded his will, imprisoned in the third basement, intimidated his spirit, chatted with him every day about some vital interests, and broke his mental defense, it sounded very reasonable, the iron-blooded officials of Lijingmen smacked their mouths and admitted the account of their own affairs.
"I heard news today, Princess Gao'an of Chang'an went to the song and asked to move to the Eastern Capital, and the queen of heaven agreed."
"The king of Yu closed the door at the residence of Michi, in addition to the necessities of life, the house does not go out of the house, which is like self-confinement, and the palace of the king of Yu has not heard the baby's cry for a long time, and the latest pregnant concubine accidentally fell to her death last night"
Quan Ce sat upright and listened, with mixed feelings in his heart, he had always thought highly of himself, thinking that he was protecting Concubine Xiao Shufei's family, but in the end, it became his relatives.
What's even more embarrassing is that until now, he still doesn't know who is calculating himself behind his back.
Quan Ce covered his face with both hands and rubbed two handfuls vigorously, as if muttering to himself, as if asking, "What about Li Ruochu?" How is he? ”
"He is alive, it is better to die" Hou Sizhi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for him, "The Queen of Heaven was merciful and dismissed him from office, but the Li family of Zhao County used him to insult the lintel and expelled him from the door wall" paused, and used a spring and autumn penmanship, "The wife is separated, the family is ruined"
Hearing this, Quan Ce's eyes flashed.
"The one who died, it was Fan Cizhi," Hou Sizhi continued, sighing, "You have been in prison for a short time, and the world has been circulating for thousands of years."
Quan Ce was indifferent and indifferent.
Hou Sizhi sat with him for a while, got up and left, the door was covered with rust, and when he pulled it slightly, his hands were scorched, he became restless, picked up the bench, and beat the guard on the head and in the face.
"You, don't be careful, I heard that the Queen of Heaven is gracious, it was asked by His Royal Highness Taiping, and there may be a turnaround"
Hou Sizhi hoarsely waited for him to look up and look at him, but he failed to do so.
