There was chaos in the Su Mansion, and the guards led by Hawking and Shi Bao were about to go out one by one with their swords unsheathed. Leng Jun shouted: "All back!" Just because a few of you still want to save people from Tingwei? ”

"If you can't save it, you will die with your eldest brother!" Hawking shouted loudly, causing the guards to respond.

A cold slap on Hawking's face: "What nonsense? Didn't your eldest brother say that he was okay and would be back soon? ”

"That's the eldest brother's intention, what kind of place is Tingwei, how many can come out of it alive?" Hawking rubbed his face and glared: "If you don't go, I'll go!" ”

"Stop!" Dong Qian came out of the house and glanced at the courtyard: "Listen to your husband, go back, from now on no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission, dare to violate the order, beheaded!" ”

Although he is not from Su Mansion, everyone has long regarded him as a hostess. At this time, Dong Qian's words were more weighty than coldness. Hawking lowered his head and muttered, and scattered with Shi Bao and Huang Shisan.

Dong Qian felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and Leng Yue hurriedly supported her. After relieving herself, Dong Qian said, "Mr. Sima, what did Su Ren explain to you when he left?" ”

Sima Xiangru hurriedly saluted: "Mr. explained, during his absence, let us not do anything, just wait for the news, he will come back soon!" ”

Dong Qian nodded: "Okay, then do what Su Ren said, we have to have confidence in him!" ”

Everyone became silent, and one by one they lowered their heads and thought about their thoughts.

Cui Chengru thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Sima, you said that it was a group of public men who took away Mr. Su, what kind of clothes did those public men wear, do you remember?" ”

Sima Xiangru recalled for a while, and suddenly reacted: "By the way, those dukes are not from Tingwei, judging from their uniforms, they are more like Jing Zhaoyin's subordinates." ”

"That's right!" Cui Chengru nodded and let out a long breath: "Princess Guantao is no longer lawless and impossible to command Jing Zhaoyin, as far as I know, Jing Zhaoyin only obeys His Majesty's orders, even the Empress Dowager has to go through His Majesty to mobilize Jing Zhaoyin, even if there is a tiger talisman!" ”

"Jing Zhaoyin is so powerful?"

Cui Chengru smiled: "Do you remember Empress Lu back then?" Since that incident, Chang'an City has been divided into five forces, the southern army is responsible for the palace wall, the northern army is responsible for defending the north of Chang'an, the left Feng Yi is responsible for defending the east of Chang'an, and the right Fufeng is defending the west of Chang'an. ”

"The southern army is in the hands of Guangluxun, the northern army is controlled by the Tai Lieutenant, the left Feng Yi and the right Fufeng have their own captains, they are not subordinate to each other, they belong to different official offices, Jing Zhaoyin's position is the most special, so it is directly controlled by His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager has not yet done anything to Your Majesty, I am afraid that she is also worried about this force."

"So, Su Ren can still be saved?" The grim eyes immediately brightened.

Cui Chengru shook his head slightly: "This is also a guess of mine, now Jing Zhaoyin's soldiers and horses are controlled by Zhuang Qingzhai, the imperial historian, and this person is the person who the empress dowager is trying to woo." ”

"Zhuang Qingzhai? I'm going to find him! When Sima Xiangru heard the name, he jumped up from his chair.

Cui Chengru shook his head again: "No, now we don't know why Zhuang Qingzhai arrested Mr., and if we lose it recklessly, it may affect Mr., I think it's better to wait for them to come to us, Mr. must have become famous in Chang'an, and Zhuang Qingzhai doesn't dare to do it privately." ”

Coldly pacing back and forth: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, we just wait?" ”

Dong Qian got up silently and stood up with Leng Yue's support: "It's still the same sentence, according to what Su Ren said, before there is any news, everyone is not allowed to leave the house without permission!" ”

In the morning, he lived in a spacious and bright luxurious room, and at noon he also sat in an elegant carriage, but in a blink of an eye, he entered a black hole in the cell. It was really dark, there wasn't even a window, and a dim torch lit it up. When he came in, Su Ren saw very clearly that this was not the Tingwei Residence, but Jing Zhaoyin's cell. Maybe he thought that Su Ren was a powerless guy, and he even saved the shackles.

The cell was very smelly, and all kinds of smells were mixed together, which not only choked the nose but also spicy the eyes. The cell where Su Ren lived was not large, and a large lump of black grass had long been wet by something I don't know, and it was moldy and smelly in the corner. There is a wooden barrel on the right, which is supposed to be used for going to the toilet. Lying in the gap of the thick wooden stub and looking out, there was not even a shadow of a ghost except for the cells.

"Wronged! Let me out......" Amid a burst of screams, several jailers walked in with scabbards in hand. Something like pig food was handed in through the gap in the railing, and Su Ren hurriedly said, "This big brother, can you tell me, who asked you to arrest me in?" ”

The jailer smiled and said to the man behind him, "This guy is a mallet!" ”

Su Ren was born in Qinchuan in his previous life, and he understands these words: "A mallet is a mallet, give me a reason in general, right?" ”

The jailer laughed even louder: "Reason? Inquired, Jing Zhaoyin only acted on orders, and never asked for a reason! ”

Throw Su Ren behind and continue to distribute pig food to other cells. Su Ren scratched his head, this was the second time he had entered the cell, and he was still inexplicable, and he didn't know if there would be nobles to help him like last time.

"Su Ren! Who is Su Ren, Su Ren from Shu County! Someone shouted.

Su Ren hurriedly stretched out his hand: "I'm here, I'm Su Ren!" ”

The cell door was opened, and it was the bearded man who had grabbed him. After glancing at Su Ren a few times, with a wave of his hand, two dukes came out from behind him, picked up Su Ren and walked out. I didn't stay in the cell for a long time, and I still felt the sun was dazzling when I went out. I wanted to cover it with my hands, but unfortunately I was pulled. After entering the courtyard three times, Jing Zhaoyin's lobby was in front of him.

This is what later generations called the lobby, and it is also the place where officials interrogate prisoners. In the Han Dynasty, there were no Tang Wei and water and fire sticks, but the actual execution was much more cruel than that of later generations.

An old man with gray hair sat in the main seat, and next to him was a middle-aged official. The old man didn't know him, but the middle-aged man had some impression that he was the confessor who went to Chengdu to announce the decree.

Without waiting for Su Ren to speak, the old man on the main seat smiled: "Su Ren is a person with a title, and he doesn't give the five doctors a cushion?" ”

Someone threw over a cushion, and Su Ren sat cross-legged on it: "Is there tea?" I'm thirsty! ”

The old man smiled: "In the end, it is a rich merchant in Shu County, and the habit of drinking tea should come from you, right?" ”

Su Ren said: "It's very good to drink tea, go greasy, protect the heart and liver, and also brighten the eyes, it's much better than wine, drinking too much wine hurts the liver, and a bad liver will really kill people!" ”

"You really know how to heal."

"I don't understand, it's just scratching the surface."

The old man waved his hand, and someone brought Su Ren a cup of tea, and Su Ren took a sip and immediately spit it out. This is not a clear tea at all, but a tea soup with various spices and spices. Only then did I understand why Chang'an people don't like tea but like wine, and there is no teahouse on the streets of Chang'an, not even one that sells big bowls of tea. Just this tea, I don't feed the pigs.

The old man said, "How? Is it better than your tea soup in Shu County? ”

Su Ren shook his head: "The world is different, the tea in Shu County is the sky, and the tea here is not even as good as the earth!" ”

"Hahaha......" The old man laughed: "Mr. Su not only understands medicine and tea, but also admires the method of making salt!" This time, Mr. Su was able to destroy Hengmen and Dongwei Bridge in an instant, I don't know what means were used? ”

"That's heaven's punishment! It's that God can't get used to looking down on those evil slaves in Princess Guantao's mansion, what does the punishment he has to do with me? ”

"Oh! Are you sure? The old man smiled: "As far as I know, there are three such heavenly punishments, the first time is to warm the water Laojunguan, the second time is the Yandi copper mine, and the third time is Hengmen, two of these three times are Mr. Su present, the only time Mr. Su is not present, and there are also Mr. Su's subordinates present, is this too much of a coincidence?" ”

"It's a coincidence, maybe I'm a good person in the eyes of God, right?"

The old man laughed: "Good man, Mr. Su is indeed a good person!" Disturbing Yelang and letting the Qiang people kill each other, the Chengdu rebels were exterminated by Mr. Su, and thousands of bandits were killed by Mr. Su's people, such people are indeed good people? ”

Su Ren looked at the old man on the throne and said for a long time: "Who is Mr. Dare?" So familiar with my stuff! ”

The old man smiled: "At this time, Mr. Su remembered to ask who the old man was, was it a little late?" ”

"This is Mr. Zhuang Qingzhai Zhuang, the imperial historian, on the order of the Empress Dowager, to preside over the case of you holding the prince of Tangyi hostage and cutting him down, what do you say about this matter?" Ji Di, who had not spoken, spoke at this time.

"Mr. Zhuang, it's a good luck!" Su Ren ignored Ji Di and saluted Zhuang Qingzhai: "Sir didn't ask about the punishment of heaven, if I tell Sir, can Mr. let me go?" ”

Zhuang Qingzhai shook his head and glanced at Ji Di, who was expressionless: "No, I just ask about this matter, it doesn't matter if you want to say it or not, as Jingzhao Yin Jidian said, this court trial is the matter of the prince of Tangyi, in front of everyone's eyes, you should have nothing to say, right?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Naturally, there are words, if I say that I can cure the Empress Dowager's eye disease, I wonder if Mr. Zhuang can let me go?" ”

Zhuang Qingzhai and Ji Di were both stunned, and the two of them asked in unison, "Really?" ”

Su Ren laughed: "Hey! There are two people in the world, one is famous, one is profitable, and the two gentlemen are just right, I know, the two of you can't be the master of this matter, it is better to ask the Empress Dowager and say, since you know me so well, you must also know that I used needles and threads to stitch up wounds in Lao Junguan, as for whether I am willing to gamble or not, I don't know if the two gentlemen are willing to gamble together? ”

Zhuang Qingzhai and Ji Di looked gloomy, and sat in a daze for a long time, but they didn't say a word. Su Ren habitually picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink it, but found that it was not the tea he liked, so he said to the person next to him: "I'm not used to this thing, go and change a cup of water for me!" ”
