Chapter 343: Sunshine, Autumn Wind, and Drizzle
Su Ren was imprisoned again, but this time it was the Empress Dowager who personally issued an edict. Although he is not a court lieutenant, he is also a high-ranking Jing Zhao Yin prison. When a large number of soldiers rushed into Su's house, Su Ren was drinking tea under the big tree in the courtyard. This is where the servants disposed of the corpses yesterday, and the smell of rancid smell in the air has not yet dissipated.
Ji Di shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Su Gongzi should know my intentions, and he didn't hide or dodge, which makes me a little strange." ”
Su Ren shook the teacup in his hand: "Jing Zhaoyin, can you wait for a while, this weather is very good, the sun is the most suitable for drinking tea, how about waiting for me to finish drinking this cup of tea?" ”
Leng Jun, Hawking, Huang Shisan, Shi Bao and others had already gathered behind Su Ren with their guards, confronting each other with the soldiers brought by Ji Di, and both sides were in a posture, just waiting for Su Ren to give an order, and then immediately started fighting.
Ji Di nodded, pulled away the chair opposite Su Ren, and sat down: "Okay!" I'll wait! That's what kind of chair you made? Although it is strange, it is indeed comfortable to sit on, but I don't know what you think, the low couch has been reduced to a new thing. ”
"This thing is not as simple as you think, and the low couch is very different, in terms of height, can not be high or low, high two legs can not reach the ground, blood does not circulate for a long time, the legs will be numb, short, the two legs will shrink up more uncomfortable, and this chair back, completely fit the back of the human body, the arc is not good, the diaphragm should be, it is very uncomfortable to lean on, the armrest is the most exquisite place......"
Ji Di hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, what you do is the best, it's a pity that you can't sit for long, this time the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict, it is said that you will be handed over to Your Majesty to deal with your affairs, in my estimation, there will be more than luck!" ”
"Huh! Isn't it optimistic! Su Ren also poured a cup of tea for Ji Di: "I don't think so, it's a good thing to say, the Empress Dowager's original intention was to Ling Chi, and then it was changed to go to prison, and finally it became for His Majesty to deal with, these three turns are the most interesting, they sound lighter than the other, why?" Jing Zhaoyin didn't think about it? ”
"Of course I thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out!"
"Hehehe, this is the difference between you and me, don't look at you now as Jing Zhaoyin, if I am also an official, I will run in front of you if I don't get it!"
Ji Di nodded: "I believe this, since you came to Chang'an, how many things have you done, if you put it on others, the car would have been cracked a long time ago, but you are safe and sound, when I was in Chengdu, I felt that you were not ordinary, and now it seems to be even more unusual." ”
Su Ren smiled and didn't speak again.
When he left Su Mansion, Su Ren was shackled, and the men and women in the family were sent outside the gate, watching Su Ren get into the prisoner car with a smile on his face, and they wept one after another. The weather was fine, the sky was clear, the sun was in the sky, but the temperature was not as hot as the previous days. According to the solar terms, autumn is about to begin. At this time, it is the rainy season in Chang'an, and once it rains, the temperature can no longer rise, and this is the reason why an autumn rain and a cold rain.
The prisoner car passed through the streets and alleys, showing Su Ren with shackles in front of the people of Chang'an. Some people know and some don't know each other, everyone saw that there were hundreds of soldiers escorting Su Ren, and they all speculated whether the people in the car would be some heinous robbers. Su Ren looked indifferent, standing in the prisoner car, looking around, as if the people were not looking at him.
Ah Xun sat at the window of the liquor store, and the soldiers on the street were driving away the crowd watching the excitement. Ah Xun glanced down, just in time to see the prisoner cart coming, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
The boy asked, "Boss?" Want to get your hands dirty? ”
Ah Xun sighed: "There are too many people, even if you do it, you can't save it!" ”
"What then? Our people are ready, if you give up at this time, you will be exposed! ”
"Let's wait for the signal! I'll think again! ”
A gust of wind blew, the smoke and dust rolled, Su Ren was in the middle of the street unobstructed, and when the dust flew over, he didn't have time to close his eyes, and he was instantly blinded. I wanted to reach out and rub it, but unfortunately both hands were handcuffed, and it took a long time to reach it. Tears lingered in the corners of his eyes, and he looked up and closed his eyes, giving others the feeling that he was crying bitterly.
Ah Xun happened to see this scene, his teeth clenched together fiercely, but he couldn't make up his mind in his heart. The boy had already urged three times, but Ah Xun didn't say a word, and the empty wine glass in his hand had been crushed by him. The broken pieces of porcelain pierced into the flesh, and the blood flowed, but there was not a trace of pain. Seeing the convoy cross the street, Tatsumi let out a long sigh and sat down in his chair.
The boy looked at the convoy: "Boss, it's already gone, it's too late for us to do it now!" ”
"Forget it, let the brothers all go back! That's it, it's up to us whether we live or die in the future! ”
Ji Di rode a horse, slowed down and came to Su Ren's prisoner car, looking at Su Ren's uncomfortable appearance, he laughed twice: "How is it?" Doesn't that feel good? ”
Su Ren endured the discomfort and opened the corner of his eyes: "Don't say cool words, help!" ”
Ji Di wiped his eyes with his sleeves to help Su Ren wipe his eyes, and after recovering for a long time, Su Ren opened his eyes: "What is the weather, the wind is blowing for no reason!" It's still so dusty, this is Chang'an, the capital of the country! The craftsman doesn't know how to harden the pavement! ”
"You know that, too?" Ji Di looked at Su Ren in surprise.
"Why not? It's no problem for me to rebuild Chang'an City, such a low house is still mainly wood, if I am your enemy, you only need to send a small group of elite soldiers, choose a dark and windy night for a month, and a fire can turn the entire Chang'an into nothing! ”
Ji Di was stunned for a moment, he had been in Chang'an for so long, and he had never thought about the scene of the country being burned down. Turning his head and looking around, it is really as Su Ren said, the carved beams and painted buildings of the houses are all wooden, and the distance between the houses is almost none. Setting fire to the fire is the best way to do it.
"You sent those people just now? Do you want to take the opportunity to save you? ”
"Someone just now?" Su Ren was puzzled: "My eyes were confused, I didn't find it!" ”
"Humph! It's no secret that your arrangement in Chang'an is no secret, and if you don't have a backhand, you will never break in recklessly! Ji Di sneered: "The boss Xun who came to the gambling house is your person, right?" This person came to Chang'an from Shu County three years ago, and the guys who surrounded Dongxin Street a few days ago were all Boss Xun's subordinates, not to mention that he has nothing to do with you! ”
"It used to be related, but now it's not!"
"Why?"
"People will always change, different places, different statuses, different ideas!"
Ji Di nodded: "Do you always speak so brilliantly?" ”
Prison cells are not good places, and the prison cells of ancient times are very different from those of later generations. In later generations, there was still a time when the prison cells were released, and in ancient times, it was really a prison. Stuffed in a cell without seeing the light of day all day, after three days anyone will lose track of time.
Su Ren is a prisoner, so he will naturally receive special care. His cell was innermost, with the thickest walls, the thickest railings, and the hardest chains. Of course, there are also the strongest flavors, the smallest skylights, and the least light. There was only one person in the cell, a ball of thatch was Su Ren's bed, there was no clean bucket, no clean water, it could be said that there was nothing except Su Ren.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and I have long forgotten how long I have been in. Extrapolating from the time of eating, it should be about five days. No one was arraigned, no one visited, nothing was seen except a few jailer's feet through the gaps. Su Ren remembered the tightness of later generations, perhaps learned from the ancient prison management. It's only been five days, and Su Ren feels that five years have passed.
A drizzle drifted in from the skylight more than a foot high, and Su Ren hurriedly reached out to catch it, and it was very comfortable. Close your eyes and feel the message from the outside, it's already autumn, and it's the second autumn rain, and there will be no adults living in this cold cell after a few more games. The cell door was suddenly opened, Zhuang Qingzhai came in with his nose covered, and the white hair on the old man's head became gray and gray.
smiled and said, "How can Su Gongzi live?" ”
"Guess!"
Zhuang Qingzhai laughed: "Your Majesty has issued an order, tomorrow afternoon will bring you to Xishikou to ask for beheading!" ”
"Looks like I'm really going to die?"
"I'm afraid so! But I still have good news, Dong Zhongshu has been released, although he has not been reinstated, he will not suffer anymore. ”
"Was Wei Qihou rescued by the edict of the first emperor?"
"You know that, too?" Zhuang Qingzhai was puzzled: "It seems that this trick was given to Wei Qihou by you, right?" ”
"Sort of!" Su Ren never looked back, quietly looking at the skylight, hoping for another raindrop to float in, just waiting, waiting, not waiting for a drop for a long time.
"Your Majesty asked me to ask you, what are you still up to business, I think you were in Songlin Town, risking your life to save Li Danghu, who attracted assassins for Your Majesty, can meet your request!"
"Can you not kill me?" Su Ren said half-jokingly: "Kill me, Your Majesty will regret it!" ”
Zhuang Qingzhai smiled: "This is also a request, I can tell Your Majesty, but don't report too much hope." ”
Su Ren nodded: "Mr. Dong is out of prison, my task is also completed, this time Chang'an did not come in vain, the promised things have been done, before I die, I have a word to tell you Zhuang Yushi." ”
"Say, listen!"
"You're on the wrong side! So I can take your words as a fart! ”
Zhuang Qingzhai laughed: "Whether it's a fart or not, I don't care about you, everything will be clear tomorrow, you can do it yourself." ”
As soon as Zhuang Qingzhai left, the jailer came in with a food box. Without saying a word, he opened the food box and placed the food inside on the ground. It is very rich, there is wine and meat, and you can tell that it is a high-end wine store by looking at the appearance. Su Ren was not polite, and under the strange gaze of the jailer, he took a big bite of food, until there was not a grain of rice left, and then he touched his stomach and burped.
Glancing up at the jailer, he asked, "Is it raining heavily?" If I get older, let the person who came to pick me up bring a robe. ”
