Chapter 108: The Long Road Ahead (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
A cold corpse was lying in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment.
Although he had never seen Zhao Enhui, for Shi Yiwen in the yatang, it was difficult to calm down for a while when he looked at this corpse.
A dignified five-grade court official, who said that he was dead, died.
People are like ants, and their lives are like mustard!
Now, Shi Yiwen finally truly understands the meaning of this sentence, and also knows how cruel it is behind the seemingly gentle and elegant in this era of cannibalism.
What about the court officials of the five grades?
In the face of conspiracy, it is also so vulnerable. Suicide in fear of sin...... It's just a scapegoat, and the dead can't speak.
On the yatang, watching their performances, watching how they put the blame on Zhao Enhui, Shi Yiwen just watched all this without saying a word. watched Song Renjie tell how he wanted to ask Zhao Enhui to report the matter of the tribute envoy to the court.
"It seems that Zhao Enhui is indeed interested in seeing the wealth, and he is losing the official seal of the tribute envoy, otherwise he will really succeed."
When Yin Zhengmao summarized the case, Wang Xin on the side frowned slightly.
"Shi Gonge, I still have a little doubt, what kind of treasure would make Zhao Enhui disregard his life and act so boldly?"
Although Wang Xin is eager to return to the capital, he is not stupid, how could he not see the trickiness in it, a court official said that he would die if he died, this matter is too weird.
The experience of Dongchang made him see at a glance that there must be an unknown secret behind this matter, if this matter is stirred up......
Seeing that Wang Xin actually inserted a bar, Song Renjie immediately scolded in his heart.
This dead eunuch is really a lot of things!
"Back to my father-in-law, this treasure is inconvenient to display in the hall, but since my father-in-law is interested, there is a small treasure, I can let everyone see it, Wu Cai!"
Wu Cai, who was called into the hall, was holding a box wrapped in red silk in his hand.
"Childe."
Chong Wucai nodded, and Shi Yiwen said to Wang Xin and Yin Zhengmao while explaining the red silk bag.
"This thing doesn't look big, but it's rare!"
took out the gadget from the box with both hands, but Shi Yiwen's heart was uneasy, this thing should be very rare in this era, right?
This...... This is......
Wang Xin stood up suddenly, he looked at Shi Yiwen holding something in his hand in a daze, his face was full of horror, he swallowed his saliva, and then lost his voice.
"This, this is the tribute you brought?"
Not to mention Wang Xin, even Yin Zhengmao and Song Renjie, who are used to seeing the world, also opened their eyes in shock, and they didn't react for a while.
"Father-in-law Hui, this is exactly what happened, but the size of the tribute was several times that of this thing."
"No wonder, no wonder the surname Zhao actually will, will move the mind of robbing tribute......"
muttered in his mouth, not to mention Wang Xin, even Yin Zhengmao, who knew the inside story, no longer had the slightest suspicion that Zhao Enhui was killing people and robbing tribute.
"Quick!"
Suddenly, Wang Xin shouted loudly.
"Quick, quickly write an excerpt to Your Majesty for 800 miles and send it urgently, there is a tribute!"
As soon as the words came out, Wang Xin realized his gaffe, this is the lobby of the Criminal Department, Yin Zhengmao also said with interest.
"This tribute envoy is coming to the court, and naturally the father-in-law should give it to His Majesty."
"Si Ko is polite."
Seeing that Yin Zhengmao was so sensible, Wang Xin was polite. looked at Shi Yiwen on the side and said.
"Shi Gong, you will rest at home first, and when the court has a will, you will enter Beijing with Wang."
Finally!
It's all over!
Cold sweat!
It wasn't until the moment the door closed that Shi Yiwen felt a cold sweat come out of his back. The seemingly calm heart began to beat violently again.
"My ...... Mother......"
When he said this, Shi Yiwen even felt a little suffocated.
That heart was even beating to his throat.
What happened before?
Once again, Cho Eun-hye's corpse appeared in front of his eyes.
Just a little bit!
I'm afraid I'm going to have to transfer with him!
Even if Song Renjie said that he didn't plan to take his own life, but he became someone else's domestic slave, isn't life worse than death?
Although he was already safe, Shi Yiwen knew that the test had only just begun.
I'm a tribute!
This is the reason why lives are saved.
What's next?
I'm going to the capital!
On the way back, countless thoughts were tumbling in Shi Yiwen's mind, and now that Gonggong Wang had handed the fold to Jingshi, according to him, at most half a month, and after half a month, the imperial court would probably have a will.
When the time comes, he will enter the capital and face the saint.
"Face ......"
Shi Yiwen's heart became uneasy again.
When the noodles are sacred, will there be a leakage of filling?
Despite the coincidence, this time the coincidence barely survived!
But what about after the face of the saint?
If the stuffing leaks in the middle of the day, will you lose your life?
"Childe, although rest assured, the Celestial Empire had ancestral training in the early years, and treated the tribute envoys with leniency, and did not hinder the admiration of people from afar.
Sensing the strangeness of the childe, Wu Cai comforted softly.
Go through the motions......
"Pretending to be a tribute envoy" is indeed not in danger of life. But it's not necessarily true, during the Zhengde period, didn't the fire man Yasan lose his life? ”
Shi Yiwen smiled bitterly.
"Come on, take one step at a time! At least, this first hurdle has passed for now! ”
After finally calming down, Shi Yiwen let out a long breath.
The small life is temporarily saved, as long as there is the name of this "tribute envoy", there is no danger of life for the time being.
And then what?
What's next?
Seeing the solemn expression of the child, Wu Cai said with a smile.
"Childe, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, entering Beijing is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Childe, a five-grade court official said that he would die. The Song family acted so decisively far beyond our imagination, in fact, it is understandable, Nanjing is not as good as the capital after all, as long as they do all the things, plus the treasures offered by the son, it will indeed make people feel rich, so the crime surnamed Zhao is real, but for us, the matter of the son is not necessarily counted, staying in Nanjing, but I don't know what trouble will happen......"
After witnessing Zhao Enhui's death, Wu Cai, who was also taken aback, had already planned to leave Nanjing.
"So it's a good thing to enter Beijing, at least no one dares to be so unscrupulous at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"
"That's true, now it seems that it is indeed safer to go to the capital......"
After nodding in agreement, Shi Yiwen's words appeared in Song Renjie's heart.
Is the Song family's promise credible?
