Text Chapter 417 Mighty and Famous has always been a legend in the rivers and lakes
Zhu Ming, the warden of the Han Dynasty, never expected that tonight, the most famous legend in Chang'an in recent years would be thrown into the edict, and in a sense, he would control his life and death.
Zhu Ming learned some important information when the beaten jailers came to report in a fit of rage. At that time, he was returning from the banquet, and he was already drunk, and when he saw his cousin Zhu Laoshi and some of the jailers on duty tonight, each with a face beaten into a pig's head, ran to him and told him about the arrogance and cruelty of the man who had just been imprisoned.
When Zhu Ming heard this, he was furious, and then saw the embarrassed appearance of his subordinates, without saying a word, he immediately ordered to gather people, each with a bright blade, and personally led it to the prison to suppress it. This is repayable, dare to forcibly commit murder in the edict prison, don't say that you have never seen such a thing, and you have never even heard of it!
However, just as he gathered a large number of his men and was about to set off, someone sent a secret order. After Zhu Ming saw it, he was shocked in his heart. Only then did he know that the person who was sent to prison tonight was Changle Hou Yuanzhao, who had just returned to the dynasty after defeating the Huns from the grassland.
Zhu Ming doesn't look cruel, but he is not stupid at all, on the contrary, this person is very shrewd in his heart. When he heard the news, he immediately sniffed out something unusual. Who would have thought that Changle Hou, who was still talking loudly with everyone at the banquet in the evening, was imprisoned in the blink of an eye and imprisoned!
For such a character, he actually didn't want to provoke. However, looking at the instructions received in his hand, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he still did not dare to disobey it. After all, Lord Tingwei's personal deployment, even if he knew it was a fire pit, he had to jump with his eyes closed.
It would have been unorthodox to detain the felons in the Imperial Prison to the outer prison and to be locked up with those gangsters. But since Lord Tingwei gave him the truth, he still ordered him to do so, the meaning of this is self-evident, it is deliberate. Before the emperor made it clear how to punish the crime and Yuan Zhao, put him in the hands of those people who hated him to the core, what kind of waves would happen, you can imagine without using your brain.
Although he knew that this was unruly, Zhu Ming still decided to do so according to the instructions. He didn't tell anyone the identity of Yuan Zhao, and in the face of the anger of the jailers, he smiled suspiciously, first asked Zhu Laoshi and these injured people to simply apply medicine and bandage it, and then told them that to deal with such a vicious criminal, there is no need to do it yourself, and naturally someone will take care of him instead.
Hearing what the warden said, the jailers immediately understood what he meant. They used to do this a lot, and they're used to it.
So, the sword was put away, and the murderous spirit rested. Zhu Ming personally led people to the place where Yuan Zhao was held, acting as if nothing had happened, but said with an indifferent expression that he would change places for him. I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect that Yuan Zhao didn't even ask, and just followed them away.
Although he felt that his calm was a little abnormal, this made Zhu Ming have some bad premonitions in his heart. But at this point, there is no possibility of regret, and I can only bite the bullet and act according to the orders of my boss.
In this process, he once used the light to secretly look at the other party several times, and it was obvious that if you only look at it from the outside, Yuan Zhao is just an ordinary person. Surrounded by a group of jailers walking in the passageway, his face was blank in the dim and flickering light, and he couldn't see anything special.
Zhu Ming's heart became a little steady, yes, no matter how powerful the tiger is, it has to rely on the wind of the mountains and forests, once it is caught in the cage, it is just a lamb to be slaughtered. What is there to be afraid of on your own turf! Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
Between the Chang'an Imperial Prison and the outer prison, in fact, it is just a high wall. Don't underestimate this wall, separated by a wall, but separated from the world of two identities, which has to be said to be a vivid portrayal of the world's high and low.
It was not too far away, and in an instant, the jailers opened the cell door with a gloating look on their faces, pushed and shoved Yuan Zhao in, and then continued to walk forward, in the dark passage of the cell, there was a pungent smell, behind the prison doors on both sides, there were strange-shaped criminals, they made all kinds of strange sounds, crying, laughing, wailing and whispering. On the side of the Imperial Prison, the conditions were already extremely bad, but when I got here, I compared the two to know what the real human purgatory was.
Those who are less timid will be scared out of half their lives if they go on a trip here. However, these jailers are obviously used to it, and they turn a blind eye to the hands that are constantly struggling and crying out on both sides, and reprimand a few words loudly as they walk, and the short-tempered ones beat them with the oak sticks in their hands, regardless of whether they are heavy or not, anyway, the people who are locked up here can no longer be called people!
A cell door was opened, and although it was equally dark inside, it could be seen clearly by the light outside, a relatively spacious cell, in which seven or eight prisoners lay or sat on the floor.
Zhu Ming beckoned, and a jailer came from behind him, lit the two torches he was holding, and then stuck them on the side wall, and the whole space suddenly lit up a lot.
"Listen up, you guys! There's a new prisoner who needs to stay here tonight, so take a good look...... But don't bully newcomers. ”
When he had said that, he turned and left, followed by the jailer's men, and locked the door. While walking outside quickly, he secretly instructed the guards to keep an eye on the movement here, and if there was anything abnormal, they would report it immediately.
When they heard what they had just spoken, they were all Fan Zhongzi, the Yao brothers, Yu Gongzi, Huai Like and other people who were big high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and when they looked back together, they saw that the prison guards had dispersed one after another, and only a thin young man was left by the cell door, which should be the new prisoner just mentioned.
For such a thing, they didn't care about it in the first place. They are all characters who carry the handle on the rivers and lakes, and they were all majestic and tight, but suddenly they were all arrested here overnight, and now the brothers are all here. The nest was raided, the future was uncertain, and life and death were unknown...... Moreover, there is news that all the people who were arrested by them, regardless of their status and how famous they were, would be escorted to the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang in a few days, saying that they were going to build a city in the place where they confronted the Huns on the grassland!
Such news is enough to make people desperate, but what makes them desperate and angry is still to come. After being locked up here for a few days, when I heard the jailers talk about it, I realized that this was a big move of the imperial court ordered by the emperor himself, and the person who made this suggestion was the Changle Marquis Yuanzhao, who had already killed many people in the rivers and lakes.
It's just the anger of renunciation! Yuan Zhao Xiaoer, deceive people too much! If you can be immortal in your lifetime, you will definitely find him for revenge and hatred, and you will never die! Without exception, such thoughts breed in everyone's heart.
But what they definitely didn't expect was that the angry heart didn't wait too long, and they immediately had a chance to take revenge! Fan Zhongzi, the great man of Chang'an, glanced at the new prisoner carelessly, and then suddenly jumped up from the ground as if he was frightened by something.
"You, you...... Yes! He, he's ...... He is ....... ”
As if it was a hell of a flat ground, Fan Zhongzi pointed in the direction of the door, and retreated again and again, his face was shocked and pale, and his mouth was ho-ho, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"What's wrong? Lao Fan, what's wrong with you...... Do you know this new prisoner? It's just a young man, so there's nothing to make a fuss about. ”
The rest of the people were stunned and strange, and they didn't understand what was going on with Fan Zhongzi, who had always been the leader of Shudi and even Guanzhong. It is extremely rare for him to show such an exaggerated expression.
Fan Zhongzi's heart was beating sharply, he was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he wiped his eyes vigorously, and looked at the person who was silent and had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth again, and this time he could see it clearly. He dared to swear to the sky, he was absolutely not mistaken, that year on North Chang'an Street, when this person led the people of Chang'an to flood the Li family, the Chen family and other Houmen nobles like a tide, he had such an expression! At that time, Fan Zhongzi, who was the leader of the Chang'an Ranger, watched from afar, and secretly admired and admired in his heart: Heroes and heroes, when it is!
"Ahh He's Yuan Zhao! He is Changle Hou Yuanzhao...... Ladies and gentlemen! ”
As he shouted the name with fear, everyone stood up in shock! How so? How could Yuan Zhao end up in the prison! Although they couldn't believe this fact for a while, they all subconsciously put on a defensive posture, fearing that the next moment this legendary powerful figure would do something terrible.
"Oh...... Don't be nervous! We are now the same people, all prisoners. Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, you're the ones who are about to go to the grassland, right? In that case, there are some ideas that I can tell you in advance...... You might as well sit down and talk, it's rare to have this opportunity, but it won't necessarily come in the future. ”
It is very strange that at this moment, Yuan Zhao behaved very kindly towards these Jianghu characters, as if he really wanted to say something to them, under the light of the torch, he smiled sincerely, greeted casually with both hands, and sat down in front of them.......
