Chapter 4: New Cellmates 1

For several days, prison officials returned to Chang'an one after another, making the originally deserted Yanwei Prison suddenly lively.

Liu and Sun did not avoid suspicion, and still sent some wine and meat to Chen Tang every day, and the surrounding prison officials saw that they did not dare to find trouble with Chen Tang at will, but also avoided a lot of unnecessary troubles for Chen Tang.

However, some jailers felt that this was a loss of their respect, and wanted to teach Chen Tang some lessons, but they all fell under Chen Tang's fists......

At noon that day, Chen Tang was still eating wine and drinking meat as before, and Liu and Sun ran over with dancing hands, and said like a god: "My lord, it is really clever, just now His Majesty issued a decree ordering Tingwei to arrest Xiao Wangzhi and others and put them in prison, and Tingwei has already led a team of people to Taifu's mansion."

"Oh......" Chen Tang drank the wine and said casually: "So, I will have new inmates soon, remember to arrange them next door to me!"

"The villain will arrange it." Liu Gong said with some concern: "If Lord Tingwei interferes, there is nothing the villain can do......

"It's okay...... Chen Tang said indifferently: "I'm lucky to get it, but I'm sorry to lose my life!"

Tingwei's speed was still quite fast, and after a while, Chen Tang heard an old man's shout: "Let go of the old man...... The old man wants to meet His Majesty...... Let go of the old man...... The old man wants to meet His Majesty......"

Chen Tang looked at the old man curiously, and saw that his appearance was over sixty years old, his hair and beard were all white, his body was lean, and he looked a little weak.

Xiao Wangzhi was followed by two middle-aged men who were detained, the former was slightly burly, and the latter was slightly elegant, both of them were silent and thoughtful at this time.

Liu Gong and Sun Shan, who were waiting on the side, hurriedly opened the cell next to Chen Tang, and the escorted jailer pushed Xiao Wangzhi and the three of them in, then locked the cell door, and scolded: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what the three of you have in the past, whether you have a title or not, now that you are in prison, you will stay honestly for Lao Tzu, and if you shout again, Lao Tzu will not be polite to you......"

Xiao Wangzhi, as an emperor, was respected by two generations of emperors, the first emperor Liu Xun never said a word to him when he was alive, and now His Majesty respects him even more, when has he heard such intimidation and abuse, he was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot, and scolded: "The erector is rude, not a son of man!"

When the jailer heard Xiao Wangzhi's curse, he immediately exploded, raised his knife and scolded angrily: "The old man is looking for death."

said that he was about to open the prison door, Xiao Wangzhi had lived for most of his life, and everyone he saw was respectful to him, how could he have seen this situation today, he was so angry on the spot, his body fell backwards, and the other two middle-aged men hurriedly supported Xiao Wangzhi, one pinched the middle of the person for him, and the other pressed his temple, and Xiao Wangzhi relieved his breath for a long time!

"Old horseman, think it's okay to pretend to be dead?!" The jailer walked over with a knife and said with a hideous face: "Old thing who doesn't know the times, do you still think this is your Taifu Mansion?" Whatever you want, you can humiliate ......"

Xiao Wangzhi's face turned blue and white for a while, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, his suspended arm, half-bent fingers, kept trembling, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

The slightly elegant middle-aged man stretched out his arms, stood in front of Xiao Wang, and said, "This eldest brother, Mrs. Xiao is unwell for a while, and he is offended, so don't blame Brother Tai!"

The jailer grabbed the knife, crossed his arms, and sneered, "You are quite knowledgeable about current affairs."

The elegant middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "How can we not know the value of the jailer?"

"Hmph, in this prison, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu is here, and he has to lie down for Lao Tzu." The jailer said fiercely: "This old man has offended me, if I don't punish one or two severely, who will take us in the eyes in the future?"

"In this case, Liu Gengsheng is willing to accept it on behalf of Mrs. Xiao!" Liu Gengsheng clasped his fists and saluted: "I still hope that my brother will show mercy outside the law and open up!"

"I respect you as a man, unlike that old puppet who is now pretending to be deaf and dumb!" The jailer glanced at Xiao Wang with disdain, and said alarmistly: "But-the rules of our prison can't be changed, as long as you are stabbed by me, the matter between me and this old man will be written off!"

Liu Gengsheng gritted his teeth and stood proudly and said: "Thank you brother Taiwan for your extrajudicial kindness, and I am willing to accept this knife!"

The jailer drew his knife, wiped it on his sleeve a few times, and laughed: "I have been a jailer for more than ten years, and I have never seen a person as bold as you...... Look at the knife. ”

The jailer said that he admired Liu Gengsheng's courage, but he didn't show any mercy, and waved a knife diagonally......

Liu Gengsheng's eyes were tightly closed, and he could clearly feel that the trajectory of the knife and the sound of rubbing against the air were getting closer...... It's closer...... Is this what it's like to face death......

"Brother Wu, stop!"

Just at the moment of life and death when the blade cut through Liu Gengsheng's clothes and pierced his skin, Chen Tang suddenly spoke: "Such a loyal person, it's a pity to kill him, Brother Wu should forget it!"

The jailer surnamed Wu stopped moving—but his blade still cut through Liu Gengsheng's skin, and a few drops of blood appeared—and he put away his knife and said, "Since it is Lord Chen who speaks, the villain should be flattered!"

Then he scolded Xiao Wangzhi angrily: "It's a dragon, you have to coil, it's a tiger, you have to lie down, this prison is not a place where you Xiao Wangzhi can show off his might......"

Finally, he said respectfully to Chen Tang: "Lord Chen, the villain was offended a lot just now, I hope your lord will forgive me!"

Chen Tang said indifferently: "No defense, you have to go and get busy in advance!"

The jailer surnamed Wu left with his jailers, and before leaving, he glared at Xiao Wang, and Liu Gong and Sun Shan also followed with interest.

Liu Gengsheng hurriedly thanked Chen Tang and said: "Thank you brother Ren for saving your life, there is nothing to repay, I wish to get the name of the benefactor, and pray to the gods day and night——"

"Lord Liu, you're welcome." Chen Tang returned the salute and hugged his fists and said: "Xiao Ke's surname is Chen Mingtang Zigong, Shanyang Fangqiu people's clan!"

Liu Gengsheng was dumbfounded and said: "You are the Taiguan who begged for food and Chen Tang?!"

Chen Tang touched his nose and said weakly when he wanted to cry: "It's really a good thing that you don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles, why doesn't anyone know if I help my grandmother cross the road?"

"Ahem......" Liu Gengsheng said embarrassedly: "This ...... Well...... At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, His Majesty granted amnesty to the world, and ordered the Prime Minister, the Imperial History, the two thousand stones to lift Maocai, etc., and the outspoken people, Zhang Gong cited you as Maocai, but Zhuge Sili found out that you begged for help, Your Majesty was furious, and condemned the princes of the court.

The worst is Zhang Gong, not only cut down 200 households, but also gave the Marquis of Miao, the Zhang family was insulted by this and his son Zhang Lin was so angry that he was angry, and His Majesty ordered Princess Jingwu to remarry, and now the entire Fuping Marquis Mansion only left a five-foot servant. ”

Chen Tang was so angry that he smashed the wooden pillar with a fist, he didn't expect to harm the Zhang family so badly, if he found the mastermind behind the scenes in the future, he would definitely break his body into thousands of pieces, so as to sue Zhang Gong in the sky!

"I am responsible for the affairs of the Zhang Mansion of the Marquis of Fuping!" Chen Tang said angrily: "But how can Your Majesty be so cold-blooded and ruthless, forcing the separation of mother and son, and coercing Princess Jingwu to remarry!"
