Chapter Ninety-Seven: Night Meeting Cining Palace

Zhang Juzheng was waiting at the right gate of Yongkang on the right side of Cining Palace Square, standing there quietly in the dim light, like a pine.

The guards on duty at night peeked at this important minister of the empire, carefully guessing his intention to enter the palace at night to ask to see the old lady Cisheng, and he didn't even dare to come out.

The footsteps in the square finally broke the unbearable silence, and a little eunuch walked to the door, lowered the voice of the male duck, and said with a smile at Zhang Juzheng: "Lord Lao Yuanfu has been waiting for a long time, the old lady has summoned you in, please come with the little one." ”

"I'm tired." Zhang Juzheng said politely, and silently followed the little eunuch into the right door of Yongkang.

When she walked into the main hall of Cining Palace, Li Caifeng had already sat down on the chair in the middle, Li Wenjin and Lan Qi stood on either side of her left and right, and the wind candles with the thickness of her arms were lit several times, but they were still not enough to illuminate the entire hall.

For some reason, Zhang Juzheng was a little flustered, and hurriedly knelt down to give a salute, and said: "I saw the driver at night, the criminal was rude, and I asked the mother to forgive me." ”

"Sir, I have been sleeping all night for state affairs, eating and dressing, and it is too late to thank you for mourning your family, what is the crime?"

"The queen mother is magnanimous, and the guilty ministers are afraid."

"Don't say polite words, Mr. is looking for mourners, but is there anything big happening?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Zhang Juzheng said, paused for a moment, and then said, "Li Shuo has come to find Weichen." ”

"Li Shuo?" Li Wenjin's brows jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "For no reason, how could she go to you?" Could it be because of Zhang You? ”

Li Caifeng frowned: "Lan Qi, you go out first, guard the palace gate, whoever dares to eavesdrop will be dragged down to death by the mourning family!" ”

Lan Qi retreated, but she was curious in her heart, how can she look like this, Gonggong Li seems to be very nervous about that Zhang You?

Zhang Juzheng was not curious at all, and after Lan Qi retreated, he walked forward slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yongnian guessed, it is indeed because of Zhang You's ......"

(Li Wenjin didn't find any information, this "Yongnian" is made up by the author, don't take it seriously)

After explaining the matter in detail, he finally said: "It stands to reason that he falsely preached the holy oracle, and his sins are not forgiven, but after all, he is ...... Weichen didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he came to ask for your will. ”

Li Caifeng's expression was fluttering, as if he had fallen into a memory, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed, glanced at Li Wenjin, and said quietly: "Big brother, what do you think?" ”

Li Wenjin suddenly turned to Li Caifeng and knelt down: "Taiyue is right, if you fake the holy oracle, the sin is not forgiven, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans, it's just ...... It's just that he is Li Kun's son after all, and he died young, leaving such a little bit of blood and bones, did he really kill him like this? ”

When he said this, his eyes were red, and his voice couldn't help but choke a little, and when he looked at his own sister, he almost pleaded.

"Brother Yongnian......" Zhang Juzheng wanted to say something and call out, but found that he couldn't find the right words to comfort this poor man, so he could only sigh a long sigh.

Li Caifeng didn't know what to say, and with Zhang Juzheng's sigh, she also sighed lightly, got up and walked in front of Li Wenjin, and helped him up with her own hands.

The dungeon was dark and damp, and the smell of mildew gave people a headache. But there was straw on the ground, and he could bring out water with his hands. In such an environment, let alone torture, even if you live for a long time, you can get sick. No wonder Zhang You remembered that he didn't know which forum he had seen in later generations that anyone who had lived in Jinyiwei Prison, even if he didn't die, he would have to fall ill.

About the end of the day, he and Xing Shangzhi were separated and put into a cell alone, this prison was all made of stone, and the cracks were filled with rice milk, except for a small hole in the iron door, there was not even a window, and after the small door on the small hole was closed tightly, the black hole was hollow, and the five fingers could not be seen.

This made him a little uneasy, worried about his fate, and worried that someone would assassinate Geng Sun's family - when he was leaving, he solemnly reminded Xing Shangzhi that they must protect Geng Sun's family, but he was in prison, Lao Qian was seriously injured, only Xing Shangzhi was alone, no matter how high his martial arts were, if someone really intended to assassinate Geng Sun's family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone.

There was no sun and moon in the prison, and in the midst of his thoughts, Zhang You didn't know how long he had been closed, when he heard the sound of chains, and when the door opened, a middle-aged man wearing a red flying fish robe and holding a torch suddenly appeared at the door, and couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Are you ......?" ”

"Contemptible Liu Shouyou, Lord Xiao Zhang has such a big shelf, if it weren't for the coincidence, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you, right?"

Liu Shouyou's words were filled with guns and sticks, Zhang You frowned slightly and smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, you can't afford to be offended by your words, and you also said that it was a coincidence, which shows that fate has its own destiny, God let us meet here, and I can't help it." ”

Zhang You talked and laughed fluently, without the slightest fright, and couldn't help but make Liu Shouyou a little surprised, and said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who dares to fake the holy oracle, and Lord Xiao Zhang's bearing of treating death as if he were at home is really admired by this official." ”

The yin and yang weirdness he said was vaguely ridiculous, but Zhang You didn't take it to heart, and said: "Don't you dare to treat death as home, really say that you see death as home, my old servant Qian Yonghe is really looking at death as home." Then again, if you don't die, I'm afraid it's still between the two, right? ”

If he can say that Zhang Juzheng can speak for himself, Zhu Yijun will be angry again, I'm afraid I have to take care of Zhang Juzheng's opinion, right?

It's just that having said that, when he said this, his heart still subconsciously mentioned his throat - no matter how open-minded a person is, if he can live, who wants to die?

"Yo, Lord Zhang, what do you want the official to say about you? You committed an unforgivable crime, and if you don't get punished, the nine clans are all light, and you still want to live? You can't be dreaming, are you? ”

Zhang You was stunned, forcibly suppressed his wild-beating heartbeat and asked, "So, Lord Liu came with a will?" How to die? Let's listen to it, I have long heard that there are eighteen kinds of torture tools in Jinyi Wei Prison, and there are no heavy torture tools for torturing people, and Xia Guan has always been very curious. ”

"You-dead duck has a hard mouth, and when you die, the official wants to see if you still smile?" Liu Shouyou is really a little angry, he has seen a lot of officials who have been imprisoned, and he has never seen a person like Zhang You.

"Then who knows, aren't you here to execute it, just wait and see."

Liu Shou was angry and said: "Count your kid's life, Your Majesty has already ordered to kill you, who knows that Zheng Shufei's heart suddenly hurts, and she pleads with her heart, Your Majesty can't bear it, so she promised to lock you up first, and then ask for the crime when the truth is clarified...... Don't be too happy, you kid, just live a few more days, and sooner or later you will die. ”

Zheng Shufei? It turned out that she saved me!

Zhang You never expected that there would be this episode, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, but he said: "It's always good to live a little longer." In addition, I have to advise Lord Liu, be a man, be open-minded, isn't it just to confiscate your invitation, so it's worth you to hate me so much? As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns, you think that Lao Tzu will die undoubtedly, maybe in a few days Your Majesty's anger will disappear, and Lao Tzu will be released from your Jinyi Wei Prison again, the world is impermanent, no one dares to guarantee the ticket, right? ”

"Phew, you just have your spring and autumn dreams, you have to be able to get out of here alive, Lao Tzu and your surname!" Liu Shouyou laughed angrily, turned around and left after speaking, and said at the same time: "Give him a few vegetable cakes, in case the Lord Long Live is arraigned, don't starve him to death!" ”

The iron door was closed heavily, the small door opened, and several black things were thrown next to Zhang You, Zhang You picked it up, his tentacles were hard, and he sniffed it under his nose, and the smell was mixed with a faint fragrance.
