Chapter 42: The Punishment of the Cane
"I've seen Li Yuanjun!"
The jailer's voice made Li Zhen get up from the hemp mat, this voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shao leaned, an old man in a purple robe and a hat appeared in front of Li Zhen, and the two looked across the door, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
"It's you?!"
Li Zhen and Li Deyu said in unison.
But Li Deyu's face quickly regained his composure, and Li Zhen still looked at the old man in front of him with a long mouth, isn't this the old man fishing by the stream outside Ning'en Temple that day?
"You are Li Zhen?" Li Deyu said with a straight face, as if he had never met Li Zhen in the first place.
"You, you are Li ......" Li Zhen said with surprise on his face when he saw the goldfish bag hanging from Li Deyu's waist.
But as soon as he was halfway through the words, he hurriedly changed his words: "You are Li Yuanjun?" ”
"Humph! Yes and no? After a great disaster, he still has the heart to say this! Li Deyu stood with his hands in his hands.
But then he glanced at Xiao Liang in Li Zhen's cell, and couldn't help but look pale.
"You, Xiao Zhongli?" Li Deyu actually said Xiao Liang's name in one mouth, his face was full of surprise and doubt.
Compared to Li Zhen, Xiao Liang is much quieter, and he just sits there quietly every day with his eyes closed and meditating, no one knows what he thinks, even if Li Zhen talks to him, his answer is limited to one word, and he may turn on the silent mode at any time.
Just like at this time, Xiao Liang only raised his eyes to glance at Li Deyu, then closed his eyes again, and there was no response.
"Xiao Zhongli is bold, Li Yuanjun asks if you dare to ask?" The jailer suddenly shouted angrily.
Li Deyu stretched out his hand to signal the jailer to shut up, and then said softly: "Open the prison door!" ”
The jailer was stunned, although he didn't know Xiao Liang's swordsmanship, but he also knew that he was Li Chengye's guard, as a guard, he must be strong in martial arts, if something happened, he would be unlucky after all.
"What? Don't you like what the old man says? Li Deyu was a little displeased.
"Let the king have an order, and the little one dares to disobey his fate!" The jailer bowed and saluted repeatedly, then slowly opened the cell door, and clinged to Li Deyu's side, not daring to leave.
"Wait outside the door, don't trespass without the old man's order!" Li Deyu said with some annoyance.
When the jailer heard this, he had to obediently exit the cell, drew a horizontal knife before leaving the door, and then waited vigilantly outside the door.
If he knew Xiao Liang's past, I am afraid he would not do anything, because if Xiao Liang wanted to escape, no matter what he did, it would be in vain.
"Huh? Didn't the envoy come to see me? I'm at the wrong door, here, I'm here! Li Zhen shouted at the top of his voice, but Li Deyu did not respond.
I saw Li Deyu walking slowly to Xiao Liang, first looking him up and down, and then a touch of Xiao Suo appeared on his face, "I didn't expect that guard to be you!" It's been almost 20 years since I said goodbye! ”
Xiao Liang remained silent, seemingly indifferent to Li Deyu's words.
"Whether you admit it or deny it, some things can never be erased, I thought you would always follow him, but I didn't expect you to be Li Chengye's guard! Now I'm in ......"
Speaking of this, Li Deyu suddenly paused, and then his face changed, and he lowered his voice and asked Xiao Liang, "Who is he?!" ”
When Li Deyu said this, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the side of the cell, which was the room where Li Zhen was.
"Li Chengye's son, Li Zhen!" Xiao Liang finally spoke, but his eyes never opened.
"Hehe, Zhongli, if you talk about swordsmanship, you are the best in the world, but if you talk about watching people, ......"
Li Deyu smiled slightly: "Even if you shoot a horse, it is difficult for the old man to do anything!" ”
"Your silence speaks for itself! Anyway, even if you don't say it, the old man has a way to know! Li Deyu had a smug look on his face.
"If you dare to hurt him, I will kill you!"
Xiao Liang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with fierce killing intent.
Seeing this, Li Deyu did not panic, but shook his head and left.
"Hey, Li Yuanjun, that's right, come and talk to me, no one has spoken to me for a long time!" Li Zhen saw Li Deyu walking out of Xiao Liang's cell, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Hehe, are you Li Zhen?" Li Deyu smiled.
"Yes, I'm Li Zhen!"
"Do you remember ...... eleven years ago?"
"Li Yuanjun, there are some things you can't say, if you say it, you will die!"
At this moment, only Xiao Liang's cold voice was heard.
Li Zhen was puzzled when he heard this, his mind was indeed blank about what happened eleven years ago, and since Li Deyu mentioned this matter, there must be a lot of articles in it.
Li Zhen was not stupid, he could naturally hear the implicit meaning of Li Deyu's words, and he felt strange about Xiao Liang's attitude, why was he so nervous about what happened eleven years ago?
Could it be that he was not from his father?
Thinking of this, Li Zhen suddenly felt dizzy, he had always thought that his brother Li Mo was picked up by his father, or given by the imperial court, but he didn't think that he was very likely to have picked it up, or some kind of welfare from the imperial court.
Fortunately, Li Zhen is very lazy, too lazy to study his life experience in detail, he will naturally know when he should know, and now is obviously not the time.
Regarding the disrespect in Xiao Liang's words, Li Deyu did not show the slightest discouragement, but showed a sunny smile at Li Zhen, "Li family baby, do you know that you committed a capital crime?" ”
Li Zhen blinked and nodded, "Then please let me go quickly!" ”
Li Deyu laughed loudly when he heard this: "Do you remember what you said to you in the mountains that day?" ”
Li Zhen frowned and thought about it, and replied: "Li Yuanjun tricked children into drinking!" ”
"Hahaha, it's obvious that you kid wants to calculate the old man without knowing the sky, why do you still bite back!" Li Deyu smiled happily, completely losing the nervousness and seriousness when he spoke to Xiao Liang just now.
"The old man said that whether the fish is dangerous or not depends on the person holding the fishing rod! Do you remember? ”
Li Zhen still frowned and thought for a long time, before he shook his head suspiciously: "I don't remember!" ”
"Hahaha! You're so funny, so funny! ”
"Since I'm so interesting, beg Li Yuanjun to let me go!" Li Zhen sneered with a big face.
"The crime of blaspheming the corpse should be punished according to the law, not to mention that you are still blaspheming the corpse of my Tang Dynasty Five-Rank Official, how dare you bend the law for personal gain as Jingnan's parents? According to Fa Cao, you have drawn a charge on top of the charge, which means that you confess to it, the evidence of the suspect is conclusive, and you don't need to go to the court according to the law! ”
Li Deyu turned around after speaking, and said word by word: "Xiao Liang and Li Zhen's crime of killing and desecrating corpses is unforgivable, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they should be sentenced to death with a cane, and they will be executed on a certain day!" ”
