Chapter 273: Heavenly Prison Visit

During this year's Spring Festival, Li Hongshen did not come to the capital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As early as a few years ago, Li Xiuwen wrote a letter back to his family, asking him not to come to the capital, there was a war going on in the Gyeonggi area, and it would be bad if there was an accident on the road.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiuwen's injury was almost better. When he was walking around the yard with his eldest daughter, he heard Cui'er come over to report that Sun Mingwen was back and was waiting for him in the study.

Li Xiuwen looked at Cui'er and quipped: "I heard from Mrs. that you two have been coming and going a lot lately." ”

Cui'er's face turned red when she heard this, and she said hesitantly: "Uncle...... I...... I...... Uncle......"

Li Xiuwen saw that she was so nervous that she couldn't speak, and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, if you really like him, I'll talk to him later, isn't this kind of thing what you want me to do, what's there to be shy about." ”

"This ...... This ......"

Cui'er's face was startled at first, and then she said happily: "Really? Thank you, Uncle! ”

When Li Xiuwen saw her expression, he knew that this matter could not be wrong, handed the child into her hands, and walked to the study.

Recently, Li Xiuwen has been asking Sun Mingwen to pay attention to the battle situation ahead, after all, history has begun to undergo some small changes because of himself. Who knows if the Qing army will enter the capital at this time, if the reaction is slow, it will be too late for a big family to run away.

"Who is the overseer this time?" Li Xiuwen asked as soon as he entered the study.

"Hui Gongzi, it's Hong Chengchou."

Sun Mingwen replied, handed over a copy of the collected written materials in his hand, and continued: "There is also the fact that soon after Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, arrived in the capital, he sent the emperor to prison. ”

"Sun Chuanting?!!"

Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, this is a person who is as famous in later generations as Lu Xiangsheng, even a person like him who doesn't know much about history knows that there are these two people in the late Ming Dynasty.

Sun Mingwen didn't know why he reacted so much, nodded and said: "Exactly, Lord Sun and Yang Sichang disagreed, I heard that Lord Sun was very worried, so that his ear disease recurred, so he asked the emperor to resign and return to his hometown." Yang Sichang, the sinister villain, slandered the emperor again, and Lord Sun was imprisoned for questioning. ”

After Li Xiuwen listened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he paced in the room with his hands behind his back. Sun Mingwen didn't dare to disturb his thinking, and stood there quietly, waiting for his orders.

After walking back and forth a few times, the corners of Li Xiuwen's mouth lifted lightly, and he pulled out a meaningful smile: "I couldn't save Lu Xiangsheng last time, and this time Sun Chuanting can't miss it again." ”

Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen, I just wanted to sleep, so you sent me a pillow.

Li Xiuwen made up his mind in his heart, so he ordered: "In the afternoon, follow me to the prison of the Criminal Department to visit this Lord Sun." ”

"Yes."

Sun Mingwen answered, and was just about to go down, but he heard Li Xiuwen continue: "By the way, do you kid like Cui'er's girl?" ”

Sun Mingwen's eyes widened, a little overwhelmed.

In a large family, even the maids and subordinates in the master's house can't think casually. Even if the servant and the maid want to be paired, they have to wait for the master to speak, otherwise, it will be a violation of the rules.

Li Xiuwen patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I said, I have never treated you as a person. If you really like that girl, how about I marry her to you? ”

In fact, this is not without examples, Yuan Hao's kid, last year, under Yang Yuxuan's arrangement, did the happy event, but Sun Mingwen was a little thin-skinned and never took the initiative to mention it.

"That'...... Then I'll thank Childe! ”

Like Cui'er, Sun Mingwen also thanked him without a word. Li Xiuwen nodded, as long as it was a happy relationship, he hadn't said it before, he was worried that if he brought it up, it would be easy to cause pressure on them, and it would be a bit of a compulsion.

Looking back, Li Xiuwen felt a little funny, he was inevitably too lenient, and he was about to become a matchmaker.

What a!

――――

――――

"Sun Chuanting, our Li Dudu has something to ask you, and I will answer."

The cell boss doesn't care if you are a high-ranking official or not, all the people who come in are prisoners, and here he is the boss. He shouted loudly, then nodded flatteringly at Li Xiuwen, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, please, be careful of your feet, the ground here is not very flat, and it is still a little damp." ”

"It's done, you go out and guard first."

Li Xiuwen has never been to the prison of the Criminal Department, and for him, this is really nothing compared to the edict of the factory guard. The so-called "heavenly prison" in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of a spy like him, is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

Sun Chuanting's treatment is quite good, and he didn't let Zhu Youzhen throw him into the edict prison for punishment, which can be regarded as a blessing.

Sun Mingwen was left outside, and Li Xiuwen came in alone. He carried a food box in his right hand and a futon in his left hand, which contained some food and a pot of fine wine.

He has also experienced the taste of being a prisoner at this level, and there is no sunlight in this cell all day long, and it is very cool and damp. Coming here, having a hot meal and a pot of wine is already a fairy-like day.

Not to mention, the conditions of this prison are much better than those of the prison.

Perhaps because of the frequent use, the bedding in the cell can still be covered, although it is dirty, but compared with the Dongchang Imperial Prison, it is indeed a difference between cloud and mud.

Sun Chuanting sat on a pile of straw, and had been looking at Li Xiuwen since he came in, but he didn't speak.

"Master Sun, on this cold day, I brought you a bed and quilt, so that you don't freeze here."

Li Xiuwen had an indifferent smile on his face, put the food box in front of him, and then handed over the futon in his hand. This was the first time he had seen Sun Chuanting, and he didn't know much about the other party.

Sun Chuanting doesn't look very old, he is in his early forties, he is relatively tall, his face looks very calm, and there is a faint wisdom in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Sun Chuanting saw that he was dressed in civilian clothes, and he really couldn't guess his identity, and he was called the governor at a young age, and he was obviously a very favored official.

However, the other party treated him politely, and he couldn't show him his face, so he took the futon with both hands and put it next to him, but his eyes never left him.

"Li Xiuwen, the current governor."

Li Xiuwen replied calmly, opened the food box, and the aroma of wine and food floated out.

Sun Chuanting stayed here all night, and life was not very easy, and the food in the prison was naturally not much better. You can smell the food and feel a little hungry.

But he is also a person who has led troops to march and fight, and he has lived more difficult days than this, and he will not lose his temper because of this little food.

After hearing Li Xiuwen report to his home, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he made an inviting gesture in his hand: "Sit down, you and I didn't know each other before, why did you come to see me?" ”

"This ...... I was still injured and couldn't sit down. If you are rude, please take care of Master Sun more. ”

Li Xiuwen looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Then Yang Sichang is really too much, it's not enough to kill Lord Lu, and now he has turned his head to harm Lord Sun, I just can't stand it." ”

Sun Chuanting smiled, and naturally knew in his heart that Li Xiuwen's purpose for coming over would not be too simple. But since people refuse to say, there is no need for them to ask any further.

However, he still has a good impression of Li Xiuwen, and what Li Xiuwen did a few years ago has long been spread now.

Previously, Li Xiuwen transferred troops and reinforcements without authorization in order to save Lu Xiangsheng, and he also won a battle. Later, in front of Zhu Youzhen, he sued Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian, and even received fifty canes for this.

Such a loyal person, he is naturally happy to make friends.

Li Xiuwen took out two pairs of chopsticks, handed one pair to him, held one pair himself, and then took out two wine glasses, one of them poured a glass, raised his glass and smiled: "My lord is known as a general, I admire it very much, this cup, I respect you." ”

Sun Chuanting raised his wine glass, drank with him with a smile, and still did not speak. But this wine is in my stomach, and I really feel a lot warmer.

After three glasses of wine, Li Xiuwen explained his intention to him: "I plan to save Lord Sun out." ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "I have received your mind, but Your Majesty will not change your mind." Besides, my ear disease has recurred now, and it's useless to go out. ”

Li Xiuwen shook his head and continued: "Over there in Shaanxi, you still need Lord Sun to guard it, so why should Lord Sun refuse?" ”

Sun Chuanting looked at him steadily, and after a while, he nodded and said, "If you can let me lead the troops back, I will definitely be able to completely quell the rebellion in Shaanxi!" (To be continued.) )
