No matter whether Liu Ji's analysis is right or wrong, Ma Du will not take it to heart, and he will not put his fate in the hands of others, especially Lao Zhu.

After wiping the oil on his mouth with a handkerchief, Ma Du said, "I'm full, Mr. Liu is full, I'll go first." ”

Liu Ji held the broad beans in his mouth and ate them with a clattering sound, "What's the urgency, let's sit with the old man for a while." He put down his chopsticks and reopened the window, staring at the execution ground without blinking, occasionally raising his eyes to look at the sun.

Ma Du teased: "Mr. Liu won't point to the fast horse galloping in the palace and shout 'keep people under the knife'." ”

Liu Ji smiled confidently: "It's hard to say!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw several brocade guards galloping past in front of the bed on fast horses, and the smile on Liu Ji's face was even worse.

Ma Du was surprised: "It is really a good means to make the emperor change his mind, sir, can you teach me a lesson!" ”

"It's not a clever method, it's more important to use it, it's stronger than the old man."

Liu Ji stroked his beard, looked expectantly at the few brocade guards who dismounted and rushed into the crowd, and went straight to the front of the prison officer, only to hear the brocade guards shouting: "Pass the emperor's edict, execute immediately!"

Although it was quite far away, Ma Du and Liu Ji could still hear it clearly, the smile on Brother Ji's face froze suddenly, and the old face slowly collapsed, and he sighed heavily, "The prince failed to persuade the emperor after all!" ”

Ma Du was stunned when he heard this, reached out and grabbed Liu Ji's arm, and asked, "Your prince went to intercede?" ”

Liu Ji shook his head and nodded, "Sort of, when I asked Song Lian to teach class, I said a word to the prince, and I didn't directly ask the prince to intercede." ”

"What's the difference!" Ma Du said angrily: "You know that the prince is benevolent, even if you don't directly say that he will go, you are really harmful!" ”

"How did the old man hurt the prince? As the prince of a country, he will have to manage the government sooner or later, not to mention that the prince has not always supervised the city's shipping department? What's the point of asking about the empty seal? ”

"Of course it's okay for the prince, he is the emperor's son, and sooner or later he will ascend to the top of the government, but you will be miserable!" Ma Du pointed at Liu Ji's nose hatefully, "Just now you said that it is a terrible thing that Benhou has no political enemies, but if you show your words, you can instruct the prince to be even more terrible in the eyes of the emperor!" What a fool sir! ”

Liu Ji's talent is undoubted, and he has very sharp views on national and military affairs, but occasionally he makes incomprehensible foolish things, just like the sentence "Mu Zhuer, what is the benefit of worship", and it is still impossible to imagine that it came from his mouth.

Liu Ji was not annoyed, and said with a sneering face: "Don't let the emperor be so jealous." ”

"It seems that the sincerity of the uncle is not enough to understand the emperor, although the prince obeys the words of the mother, but the mother will never instruct the prince to interfere in state affairs, your courage is too great, originally your Zhedong gang is just a pond fish, but now I am afraid that a catastrophe is coming."

From Lao Zhu immediately asked people to ask for a knife, you know how angry he is, no wonder Lao Zhu will clean up the almost harmless Song Lian in the future, he really won't die if he doesn't die.

"Verify your identity and execute immediately!" A familiar voice came from the law field, Yang Shuping, who was usually quite gentle, but his voice at the moment seemed fierce and gloomy, like the pitch-black haze floating in mid-air.

The decapitator was raised high, the blade was shining, reflecting the sun that had not yet been covered, like a piece of training to break the neck, the big head rolled to the ground, and the remnants of the body sprayed blood in the convulsions, and the ground was red......

"Miserable!" Liu Ji's body shook, but his palm slapped heavily on the window lattice.

"It's good, it's already good that the emperor didn't have a family member this time. No more nonsense, I'm gone! ”

"Xuanzhong is also a person who loves talents, can he really bear to look at hundreds of talented officials in different places?"

Ma Du shook his head and sighed: "You also said that the emperor is the title of Tianxian, what can I do?" Mr. Liu, I have always respected you very much, and I advise you to return to your hometown as soon as possible to retire, and don't come back when you go home! ”

"Doesn't Xuanzhong welcome the old man to give lectures at the academy? The old man thought that he would not be worse than Zhu Fenglin. ”

"As long as you can leave aside the trivial affairs of the imperial court, the academy welcomes you at any time."

"Xuan's important words count, the old man has taken his leave!" Liu Ji turned around and opened the door and walked out of the private room, Zhang Wuliu couldn't wait to come in, and said with a bow: "Uncle Liu has a lot of truth, and he is so small that he can starve to death." ”

"You have a lot of words, eat yours well."

Boom, boom, boom......

A burst of thunder rolled over, and it immediately began to rain heavily in the sky, and the people who watched the excitement at the entrance of the vegetable market left with their heads in their hands, only the families of the convicts were cleaning up the bodies, and the majestic rain flowed wantonly with blood, staining half of the street.

Ma Du saw Liu Ji, who was drenched in soup, walk to the entrance of the vegetable market, stopped for a while, and staggered away in the wind and rain......

There was no one in the huge prison cell, and in the first year of Hongwu, there was an amnesty for the world, as long as it was not heinous and could swing a hoe, he could get two acres of land.

Although it was daytime, the inside of the cell was still dark, except for a palm-sized window on the south-facing wall, and a pillar of light came in, which was the only source of light.

The cell head walked to a cell with a bowl of Yangchun noodles and asked cautiously, "Childe, it's time to eat!" ”

He didn't know who lived inside, he only knew that it was a ruthless man who killed four people with a firewood knife in one go, and such a vicious guy The county master didn't quickly cut off his head, but let himself serve well.

Every day, a group of big men came to give him food and drink, and put a knife on his neck to ask about the situation of the criminal, and the fierce and vicious almost scared him to pee his crotch, anyway, he couldn't afford to offend, so he just served well.

Li Jinglong slowly turned his head from the bed made of tattered door panels, and there was an inch-long scar on the side of his cheekbones, which was not ugly left by him in the fight, but more heroic in his handsomeness.

"Come in! Is it Yangchun noodles again, you can't change something else. ”

"Fucking in prison, there is a bowl of Yangchun noodles to eat, and you dare to pick and choose!" The cell boss scolded in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The child's diet is sent by others, and the county master has instructed the villain not to dare to give you anything to eat, if there is something wrong with the food, the villain will cause trouble." ”

Li Jinglong took the bowl and glanced at it, "Damn, don't dare to eat anything for me, but dare to eat my things indiscriminately, and don't wipe your mouth clean when you steal food." ”

The cell head wiped the oil on his mouth and generously admitted: "There was still a chicken leg, and the villain was greedy for a while, so he bought a roast chicken and returned it to his son." ”
