Li Mao couldn't go on with the trial, which made Li Chun feel a little embarrassed, he laughed and scolded several officials who participated in the interrogation, and told them to go home to recuperate for a few days and recuperate enough to retry again, but refused to resign from their jobs.

The next trial is still slow. Moreover, Prime Minister Li Jiang said that even if Li Mao can be tried, it will be a big trouble to convict him on any charges in the future, and his confession involves too many secrets, which is really not suitable for publication.

Li Chun asked: "What should you do?"

Li Jiang asked: "Can the minister talk to him and make him confess his guilt and surrender to the law?" ”

Li Chundao: "Your confession is to ask him to confess what kind of sin and what kind of law"

Li Jiang said: "Admit the crime he committed, and subdue the law of the country." ”

Li Chun smiled and did not allow it.

Knowing the subtle changes in the emperor's attitude, Li Jiang tactfully introduced the topic to Li Mao when he served the Empress Dowager Wang to a banquet for the lady of the vassal country, and the Empress Dowager asked: "Where did he go out as an official, I haven't seen him for many days." ”

Li Jiang said: "The queen mother asked, the minister didn't dare to hide it, he went to Zhengzhou, made some mistakes there, and is now in Shence Prison awaiting trial." The Queen Mother nodded approvingly: "Shenzhi is really an old man seeking a country." ”

The Queen Mother immediately announced that she was distressed and that she would not eat this dinner, Li Chun was taken aback when she heard the news, and rushed to greet her after dusk. Qiu Shiliang installed two seats in the courtyard water pavilion, and then led people to retreat to the side, and could see the Queen Mother's call, but could not hear them speak.

The Queen Mother immediately lowered her face and asked, "Did the Queen Mother find it?"

Li Chun was startled, but his face was very calm, and he replied: "Li Mao is not doing well, so he didn't find it." ”

The Queen Mother said: "How the first emperor placed the Queen Mother, do you know?"

Li Chun was silent, and the queen mother was even more angry: "The face of the royal family is important, how can filial piety abolish my Li family to rule the world with filial piety, if you know that you have done such a ridiculous thing, what face do you have to face the ministers of the world, and what face will you have to see the ancestors and ancestors after ten thousand years?"

Li Chun was sweating and trembling.

The Queen Mother glared at her son, sulked, and softened her tone: "You are also confused for a while, and you are bewitched by villains." ”

Li Chun said: "Erchen is guilty, guilty. ”

The Queen Mother said: "You sit with Master Jingyi all day long to discuss the Dharma, why do the evil thoughts in your heart win every day, I think that in addition to the letter of Futu, the scriptures of my family should not be wasted." Li Chun said yes again and again.

The Li family prides itself on being the descendants of Lao Tzu, worships the way of Lao Zhuang, and regards Taoist classics as their own scriptures.

The queen mother beckoned her son to sit down in front of her, and said: "Let Li Mao go, drive him out of Beijing, and those villains who encourage you should stay away." Sugar Hua"

Li Chun said yes, and asked: "What about the Empress Dowager?"

The Queen Mother said: "What does she say is also your great-grandmother, what do you want to do with her." ”

Li Chun stood up and said, "Erchen understands. ”

The Queen Mother said: "It's good that the emperor understands, he can change his mistakes, and he is still a Zhongxing Mingjun." ”

Li Chun smiled bitterly: "How dare Erchen be called Mingjun, Erchen was almost confused by evil thoughts and did evil things that disgraced his ancestors." The Queen Mother smiled: "It's good to change, don't mind, it's not easy to be a king, it's even more difficult to be a Ming Jun, quit it, quit it." ”

Li Chunhan came out in a daze and ordered Liu Xiguang to summon the Hanlin scholar to Yanying Hall to draft the edict.

Liu Xiguang spied Li Chun's intentions, and hurriedly reported to Tutu Chengxuan, Tutu Chenghuang rushed to Shence Prison overnight, he had been a lieutenant of Shence, although he went to work but was not liquidated, his cronies were densely distributed in the army, and Shence Prison came and went freely for him, which was very convenient.

Seeing Li Mao sleeping on the dry grass, his beard was unkempt, and his hair was unkempt, he shook his head again and again and sighed: "Poor, pitiful." How could they do this to a national hero? ”

Li Mao got up, sat on the bed, and asked with a smile: "Is it to see me off?"

Tu Tu Chengguang was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Yes, I'm here to see you off, but this is not a guillotine wine, this is a practice wine." Everyone sent you to Yazhou Sihu, and I came to see you off. ”

Li Mao said: "So I don't have to die"

Tutu Chengguang said: "Isn't this obvious, if you want to kill you, why bother to try it, a glass of poisonous wine, a few pieces of hemp paper and a bucket of water, no shadow and invisible, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”

Li Mao looked at the wine and food set up by Tutu Chenghuang's personal entourage and was silent, Tutu Chenghuang hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites, and drank another glass of wine, and then said: "Don't worry, how can I do that and make people laugh." ”

beckoned Li Mao to sit down opposite, and when he saw that Li Mao couldn't help but look at the little eunuch he brought, he said: "Liu Keming, my newly adopted son is a stuffy gourd, if you have something to say, just say it to your face, he only listens to it." ”

Li Mao said: "What about your precious son." ”

Tutu Chengguang sighed: "Mo Ti him, the tree fell and scattered, and he climbed another high branch." ”

Suddenly vomited Chengguang poured Li Mao wine, and drank a glass, Li Mao didn't know the taste of wine for several months, choked on it for a while, and coughed again and again. Liu Keming walked behind Li Mao, knelt down, and patted his back very intimately.

Tutu Chenghuang poured Li Mao a bowl of wine again, and sighed: "The two of us fought back and forth, but we didn't make a name for ourselves, but we made the family benefit, this is called the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profits." ”

Li Mao stopped coughing and said, "You hurt me, how could I have hurt you." ”

Tutu Chengguang said: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, you give Li Jiang and Bai Juyi those things, so that you don't hurt me, you are kicking me to death, if it weren't for Bai Juyi's great talent, leaked the secret, let me be prepared first, I can still sit here and drink with you, I would have already fallen to the ground."

Li Mao said with a smile: "No, what I gave them, at most, I will drive you out of the capital to avoid the limelight, and it will not kill you, but if you send someone to Zhengzhou to harm me, it will be too righteous enough, you are really killing me." ”

Tutu Chengguang said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, why don't I send someone to Zhengzhou to harm you, Lin Nan and Zhu Fen are people from Wufang, and they have nothing to do with me." ”

Li Mao said: "I have no grievances with them, why do you want to harm me?"

Tu Tu Chenghuang smiled and said: "You have no grievances and no hatred, your Longshou Mountain has robbed other people's jobs, do you know, don't bring you down, how did they come out and ban the five major families, that is not a vegetarian, why does the Son of Heaven favor me and believe that I am not capable, but I can't believe them, this is not to say that they are not loyal, it is that they are difficult to control each other's children and relatives, intertwined, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the envoys of the Northern Ya are controlled, I occupy the divine policy, you open Longshou Mountain, which has long been regarded by them as a thorn in the flesh, people are big families, Seeing is different, since the end of the Zhen Yuan Dynasty, the flag has ceased to drum, coldly watching the changes in the world, now I see it, if you and I don't move away, they won't be able to get ahead, so people will do it, as soon as they do it, the two of us will be finished. It's ridiculous that you and I are still fighting there with blood on our faces, and the snipe and clam are fighting, and we have benefited the family in vain. ”

Li Mao said: "You drank too much, and the wall has ears." ”

Tu Tu Chengxuan laughed, pointed at Liu Keming and said: "There are two ears here, but he has no mouth, he can listen, but he can't speak." Haha, this is the Divine Prison, my territory. ”

The amount of alcohol was average, Li Mao's lips were not wet, he was drunk, Li Mao was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he glanced at Liu Keming, but Liu Keming stood dumbly. Tu Tu Chengxuan danced and said: "It's all over, not to mention him now, you have been demoted to Yazhou, and it is a question whether you can survive to take office." I was demoted to Huainan, and whether I can come back alive is also a big question, the two of us are a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks. ”

Li Mao squirted out a mouthful of wine and coughed violently.

Liu Keming knelt down to help Li Mao pat his back, and whispered in his ear: "The bow and arrow are drunk, I'll send him back." The piece of bread must be put away. ”

Liu Keming set up Tutu Chenghuang and walked out, and Tutu Chenghuang shouted that he was not drunk, and waved goodbye to Li Mao.

Li Mao quietly hid the patterned cake in his sleeve, and broke it in the dead of night, hiding a piece of Shence Army and a small note with a word written on it: North.

On the second day, an edict was sent to Shence Prison, Li Mao sat down to the Yazhou Sihu, and Qin Mo and others were also demoted out of Beijing.

After three months of detention, when I got out of prison, it was already late autumn.

Li Mao glanced at the blue sky, took a deep breath of free air, and said to Qin Mo: "Let's go to fix the noodles, take a bath, have a good meal, and then find two girls to massage you." ”

Qin Mo looked at the sky with his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you want to find a girl yourself, I can't do this bite." ”

Li Mao patted him and said with a smile: "Okay, my Master Qin, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop." He laughed with Shi Kong and Shi Xiong, and took Qin Mo to the new hall opposite the prison.

It is specially prepared for the newly released from the prison, with facelifts, baths, massages, and meals.

The four of them called a big bag courtyard, gave the guy some money, and told him not to disturb him.

The four of them stayed in the courtyard until a watch, and the shopkeeper was about to close, but he had no choice but to come forward and knock on the door in person, and accompanied him to call carefully, but there was no response, but he heard a strange sound, and hurriedly pried the door open, lit the lamps and candles, and everyone was shocked.

There were six people lying in the room, there were the bathing master, the tea delivery guy, the massage chick, the four chicks were just beaten unconscious, the bathing master and the tea delivery guy had no pulse, but there was no injury on their bodies.

The sound of strange movement came from a closet, everyone trembled and opened the cabinet door, and one person rolled out of it, his legs and hands were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth, but it was the face trimmer sitting in the hall.

According to the noodle trimming master, after the four guests finished trimming their noodles, took a bath, and had some wine and food, they each asked a chick to go in for a massage, and soon they heard a chaotic sound inside, and at first they thought that they were holding back too long and moving too much.

When he ran over to check, he saw those little girls lying on their stomachs, motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. What surprised him even more was that there was a guy who delivered tea and a master who rubbed the bath, and the two of them did not bat each other, staring at a pair of frightening eyes. As soon as the face-dresser wanted to scream, he was hit the back of the head, and when he woke up again, he was in the closet, his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was gagged, and it was impossible to call.

The noodle master insisted that he had been sitting in the gatehouse all the time, because he was burly and sophisticated, and everyone in the hall invited him to sit in the courtyard, and he would not leave if the guests did not leave, and he did not doze off or leave in the meantime, and he never saw anyone in or out, and how the two men and the bathing master got in is a mystery.

Asked the four little women, only persuaded the guests, took the reward and was about to walk away, when they were suddenly knocked unconscious, and they didn't know anything about the rest of the year.
