Chapter 106: Between Life and Death

In the prison of Jinyiwei's thousand households, although it is as stealthy and terrifying as Jinyiwei's edict, it is definitely not a comfortable place, the smell is dark, it is extremely dim, and from time to time there are rats crawling over people unscrupulously.

The most panicked thing is that there are a few screams and wails from time to time, and the sound is even more terrifying and chilling.

Mu Zuo spent half the night in a dark prison in thin clothes, scared and chaotic in his heart, and completely clueless.

He knew that eighty percent of the brocade clothes were true. It is very likely that his brother-in-law Liu Zhong is really the leader of the Tatars, otherwise Jinyiwei would not dare to have such the courage to break into the prefect's yamen, and he also killed people at will and arrested himself, it must be that they got accurate information to dare to do this.

Of course, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that this matter is actually connected with the Wu'an Hou who is now killing in Liaodong, and the sky is in full swing.

He didn't expect that Liu Zhong was a Tartar spy, and he didn't expect that he would dare to send someone to assassinate him.

He really wanted to pinch Liu Zhong's neck at the moment and question that guy, this time he really hurt himself a lot, and if he didn't do it, he would have to worry about his life.

You must know that the current emperor hates the Tartars to the core, once the Tartars are involved, but no matter how big an official you are, how high your title is, you will be severely punished.

Previously, a small servant in the family of a criminal servant was found to be the eyeliner of the Tartar, and the emperor was furious at that time, and directly searched the house of the criminal department waiter for questioning, and finally directly sentenced him to exile for 3,000 miles.

A three-grade bigwig of the imperial court was implicated by the little guy in the family, he was a small prefect, and his brother-in-law was still the spy leader of the Tartars, and he even sent someone to assassinate the court officials, and now he is the mainstay of Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Mu Zuo's heart was cold, and he felt that he was less auspicious this time, and leaned against the cold wall dejectedly, his eyes extremely depressed.

He never expected that he would be so confused, so unfortunate, and so inexplicably incurred imprisonment, now that he thinks about it, Liu Zhong and Liu Qingqing, the brother and sister, have nothing suspicious, how did they become Tartars' spies?

Could it be that someone deliberately framed themselves?

Mu Zuo was sure that Liu Zhong had harmed him for a while, and then he felt that a political enemy had framed him, and he thought about all the possible candidates in his heart, but he denied them one by one.

While he was worried about himself, he began to worry about his delicate concubine Liu Qingqing, I don't know if the wolf-like Jinyi Wei will bully her and eat her tofu, is she also thinking about herself at the moment, will she regret it......

In short, Mu Zuo, who has been going smoothly in his life, has experienced the first major setback in his life, completely losing the majesty and composure of his usually majestic prefect, and is no different from an ordinary person who has suddenly encountered drastic changes, and even more unbearable.

The more Mu Zuo thought about it, the more frightened he became, he was almost sure that this time he would not escape the catastrophe, and he couldn't help but feel two lines of old tears welling up, and he began to feel sad for his misfortune.

At this moment, he heard the door of the prison being opened, and the sound of the Jinyi guard respectfully greeting was heard, and then the footsteps came, becoming clearer and clearer, getting closer and closer to him, and it was obvious that someone was coming towards him.

Mu Zuo's spirit was lifted, and a wave of hope rose, and he hurriedly stood up with unprecedented agility, ran to the fence and looked out.

By the light of the torches on both sides of the aisle, he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw a figure covered in white walking towards him.

The man walked up to him and stopped, lifted the thick white cloak on his head, revealing a handsome, mustachioed face.

Sure that he hadn't seen this person, Makizo not only asked, "Who are you?" ”

"You don't care who I am, I'm here to ask you a few words on behalf of someone." The man was expressionless and said coldly.

"Who asked you to ask?" Mu Zuo's heart was happy, and his voice became eager.

"I only ask you, do you want to die or live? If I want to die, then I'll leave now, and I won't say a word to you. It was undoubtedly determined that Liu Zhong was the leader of the Tartar spies, and the fifty assassins sent by this person to assassinate Wu Anhou were all wiped out, and Liu Zhong himself was captured. Even if you say that you don't know anything at this time, I'm afraid it won't help, you should know that the imperial court would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Therefore, if you want to die, you only need Jinyi Wei to report this matter to the emperor, and you can wait for the whole family to fall to the ground. ”

The man in white's voice was very low and slow, but the words fell into Mu Zuo's heart, but he couldn't breathe like a thousand pounds of boulders, and even his breathing became short, and he was silent for a while.

The man in white was not in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, he said slowly: "If you don't want to end up like such a traitorous behead, someone can save your life." ”

When Mu Zuo heard this, he suddenly raised his head and blurted out: "You say, who can save me?" ”

"Wu Anhou." The man in white said lightly.

"Wu Anhou?" Mu Zuo was a little dazed, it was possible for anyone to save him, but it was impossible for this Wu Anhou. His damn brother-in-law Liu Zhong sent someone to assassinate him, Wu Anhou didn't kill himself with his own hands, it was good, and he would even save himself, Mu Zuo felt that it was a fantasy no matter how he heard it.

"Believe it or not. Wu Anhou is a person who loves talents, and knows that you have governed Datong for many years and still have political achievements. You also know that after the rise of Wu'anhou in Liaodong, he was in full swing and unstoppable, and Tartar and Yuan Inspector suffered big losses under Wu'anhou. Today's emperor also took a fancy to Marquis Wu'an's ability to command troops, so he resigned and entrusted him with important tasks. It can be said that the future of Wu'anhou is unlimited, and the entire territory of Liaodong will be pacified by Wu'anhou sooner or later. When the time comes, the Marquis of Wu'an will open a mansion and build a government, and his subordinates are in urgent need of various talents. Wu Anhou knew that you were deceived by Liu Zhong's brothers and sisters, and he didn't know the truth. If you are willing to belong to the Wu'anhou sect, the Wu'anhou can ensure that you survive this calamity. If you don't want to, then Wu Anhou is not reluctant, and he will play a book another day, and everything will be decided by His Majesty. That's all, you're good at it. If you figure it out, tell the guards after dawn, and I'll talk to you about it again. ”

After the man in white finished speaking, he ignored Mu Zuo's strange and surprised expression, put on his cloak, turned around and left leisurely, leaving Mu Zuo alone stunned and puzzled.
