Chapter 188: Night Visit to Xue Rengui
"What? Is there anything in the way of the history of the forest thorns, huh? ”
Li Xian is familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so he will not be unaware of Lin Mingdu's difficulties, but Li Xian has a reason why he has to see Xue Rengui's side, of course, Li Xian's move also has the intention of testing Lin Mingdu, so he knowingly said a word.
The difficulties are naturally there, but do you really want to do it, in fact, it is not very difficult, after all, this Lanzhou cell is still Lin Mingdu's one-acre and three-point land, and he really plans to violate the system and let people go to prison, which is just Lin Mingdu's kung fu to send a sentence, but the question is whether this should be sent is very particular, and the fundamental reason for this action is to violate the system, if it is played by someone at the right time, then Lin Mingdu is afraid that he will end up with a big crime, he Lin Mingdu does not have a deep background, and at that time, I am afraid that there is no place to redress grievances. Freedom must not be Lin Mingdu does not hesitate again.
"Your Royal Highness Haihan, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling to be accommodating, but now the court has not yet reached a conclusion, and the lower officials do not dare to show favoritism outside the law.
Lin Mingdu is a student from a poor family, Zhenguan 21 years of Jinshi, even if he was released as the lieutenant of Yunwu County, for more than 20 years, he has been in Lan, Liang and other border states, and has worked hard for so many years, and finally was promoted to the post of assassin the year before last. Lin Mingdu didn't dare to take risks, so he could only grit his teeth and ruthlessly refuse Li Xian's request.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard Lin Mingdu say this, Li Xian's face immediately drooped, and he let out a cold sound from his nostrils, and the murderous aura in the big tent instantly became as solemn as substance.
"Your Highness Haihan, the lower officials really dare not be rude and illegal."
Seeing that Li Xian was showing signs of madness, Lin Mingdu started to beat a drum in his heart, but now that it happened, Lin Mingdu couldn't care much about it, so he could only stubbornly continue to go down.
"Well, Lin Thorn Shi Mo should be nervous, Lone is not an unreasonable person, the court system must be followed, but the law is not outside, even if it is a prisoner of the edict, it is not unseeable, it is just a little more needed, as far as Lone knows, all the generals in this city are afraid that they have all been in prison to see it, and it is not a lonely, how much does Lin Thorn Shi need to pay even though he opened his mouth, Lone is not short of some money and things." Seeing that Lin Mingdu's legs trembled slightly, but he always insisted on refusing to let go, Li Xian suddenly retracted his anger, laughed gently, and said casually.
"Your Highness, please forgive your majesty for speaking bluntly, even if what His Highness said is possible, however, it is not the way of the lower officials, although the lower officials' official positions are humble, they really dare not forget the laws of the court, if Your Royal Highness has a holy purpose, the lower officials have no reason to obey, in addition, the lower officials ...... Xia Guan really didn't dare to act rashly, and asked His Royal Highness Haihan to be one. Lin Mingdu is still a cautious person after all, although he is not very courageous, but he has his own limit in his heart, and he is unwilling to act against his heart, even in the face of the extremely powerful Li Xian, although his face is already pale, he still has the courage to refuse Li Xian's request.
"Oh? Hahaha......"
As soon as Lin Mingdu's words fell, Li Xian suddenly laughed loudly, laughing so much that Lin Mingdu's second monk was confused, and under the weakness of his heart, his already pale face became a little whiter, but he always gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
"Lin Thorn Shi is not panicking, there is still a secret intention here, Lin Thorn Shi please take a look." After Li Xianhao laughed loudly, he turned his hand, took out a very tightly rolled yellow silk from his wide sleeves, held it with both hands with a smile, and gestured to Lin Mingdu.
"The lower officials are rude, His Highness Haihan, but I don't know, but I don't know why His Highness is, why ......"
Lin Mingdu saw that Li Xian didn't seem to be joking, so he confessed his guilt, stepped forward, bowed respectfully, took the secret decree with both hands, read it carefully a few times, and finally bowed down and offered the holy decree to the copy, looked at Li Xian with a strange face, and said a word of inquiry.
Although Lin Mingdu never finished speaking, Li Xian knew what he wanted to ask, and he was just talking about why Li Xian wanted to make a thing that should be simple so complicated and mysterious, in fact, this really can't be all blamed for Li Xian's mystery, yes, testing Lin Mingdu's personality is certainly one of Li Xian's intentions to make this move, but it is more because of Gaozong's explanation - according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui and others fought such a big defeat, it should be the crime of killing the head, but it is not desperate, According to the law, a huge amount of money can atone for their sins, Guo Zhifeng and others are from wealthy families, and there is no shortage of atonement money, but Xue Rengui, a general from a poor family, can make a difficulty, although it will not be impossible to make up the money, but it is inevitable that the family will lose here, how will others Gaozong don't want to pay attention to it, but Gaozong doesn't want Xue Rengui to end up like this, which has its own fate, not only because of sympathy for Xue Rengui's bravery, but also because Xue Rengui once died desperately to save Gaozong's life when the flash flood occurred, it is true, Gaozong only needs a holy decree to go down, and Xue Rengui's sin can be spared, but the problem is that this will is not so good, anyway, Gaozong is not so stupid as to forget the law and justice, so he will secretly confess that Li Xian came to secretly lose money for Xue Rengui, and this is a confidential matter that is not enough for outsiders, and it is impossible for Li Xian to openly publicize it.
"Lin Thorn Shi can fulfill his duties, Lone is very pleased, like Lin Thorn Shi such a talent, with the wisdom of the saint, he will never be treated badly, Lone looks forward to Lin Thorn Shi can enter Gyeonggi as soon as possible, the time is not early, Lin Thorn Shi will go to arrange it, Lone still has other important things to talk to General Xue." Li Xian did not answer Lin Mingdu's question, but praised Lin Mingdu with a smile, and his words were already clearly full of the meaning of solicitation - obviously, Li Xian was quite satisfied with Lin Mingdu's personality, in Li Xian's opinion, although this person was a little lacking in courage, but he was cautious enough to do things, and he might not be able to be a master of the auxiliary, but he was still qualified to be a high-ranking official such as Yijiuqing and Shangshu, and Li Xian, who still lacked high-level officials at hand, had the heart to recruit.
"Yes, the lower official will do what His Royal Highness wants, Your Highness, please wait, and the lower official will go back when he goes." Lin Mingdu has been in the sea for a long time, since he is not a foolish person, just listened, he already understood Li Xian's intentions, and couldn't help but be happy, hurriedly agreed to the promise, and hurriedly left......
Even if it was a few torches inserted at the door of the prison, it still could not alleviate the gloomy atmosphere, but it added a bit of dullness and solemnity to the gloomy prison, coupled with the miserable howls from time to time in the prison, which made the entire prison as intimidating as hell, but all this could not shake Li Xian's firm steps towards prison.
"Your Highness, please be careful of the steps."
In order to curry favor with Li Xian, Lin Mingdu not only arranged Li Xian's secret meeting, but also personally held a lantern and led Li Xian into the prison door, completely letting go of the face of the assassin, and willingly acted as a pawn for Li Xian.
"Hmm."
The prisons in the world are basically the same smell, dirty and messy is a needless thing to say, this point Li Xianzi has long been mentally prepared, but Rao is so, he really walked into the dark door of Lanzhou Prison, and the smell of rancid smell still made Li Xian feel disgusted fiercely, and his brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say much, just calmly said that he answered.
"See the two of you."
Lin Mingdu accompanied Li Xian to the cell lounge at the front of the cell, and two men dressed in squad clothes had already rushed up, not asking Li Xian's origin at all, but hurriedly bowing to the two.
"Liu Bantou, this is Master Li from Beijing, I have something important to see General Xue, and this matter is confidential and must not be passed on, so let's lead the Lord into the number room." Lin Mingdu was very cautious and cautious, even in front of these two henchmen, he didn't dare to reveal Li Xian's true identity at all, but only confessed that he was from Beijing.
"Obey the order, Lord Li, please come with the little one."
Liu Bantou is Lin Mingdu's henchman, and he has received Lin Mingdu's order before, not only deliberately replacing all the prison guards who were originally on duty with reliable henchmen, but also personally waiting at the front of the prison door, in order to wait for Lin Mingdu's arrival.
"I'm tired."
Seeing that a small prison team leader can be cautious in words and deeds, Li Xian was quite satisfied with Lin Mingdu's arrangement, but he didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and after a polite word, he slowly followed Liu Bantou into the depths of the prison cell, and after a few floors of the cell speechlessly, he had reached the ground, and saw Xue Rengui, who was dressed in prison clothes, sitting on the dry grass, staring at a small oil lamp burning on the small few in a little sluggishness, silently not knowing what he was thinking, Even the footsteps of Li Xian and the others approaching did not disturb him.
"General Xue, an adult from Jingshi sees that you are here."
Liu Bantou obviously had great respect for Xue Rengui, walked lightly to the prison door, and greeted him cautiously.
"Huh?"
Hearing Liu Bantou's greeting, Xue Rengui seemed to wake up suddenly, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he swept towards the place where the lights were lit......
