In the cell of the Tingwei Prison, Dong Zhongshu sat calmly in the corner with his hair disheveled. He couldn't count the number of days he had been in, and at first he thought he would be out soon, and who knew that he would lose track of time as soon as he stayed. The sunlight in the skylight shone in like a brocade, shining in and shining on Dong Zhongshu's face. People have lost weight, but their waists have straightened, and they can feel the warmth of the sun with their eyes closed. For several months, Dong Zhongshu's favorite thing is to bask in the sun.

"Father!" A faint voice sounded in my head, this is my daughter's voice, since my daughter returned from studying art on the mountain, it has not appeared in my mind for a long time, and it appears again today, what does it portend?

"Father!" Again: "The child has come to see you!"

Dong Zhongshu slowly opened his eyes, he has a total of eight sons and one daughter in his life, several sons are not qualified, they can only stay in their hometown to farm and study, and the most beloved daughter is also the most like himself. It's a pity that I was deceived by that unobtrusive kid, and I don't know what happened to my daughter in prison now.

"Father, will you just look back at me?" Dong Qian's tears rained down, she hadn't seen her father for more than half a year, and she had become like this when she saw her again today. The whole body was covered with dirt, his hair was unkempt, and the lice crawled on his collar. Is this still the same father who likes to be neat and tidy?

Dong Zhongshu hurriedly turned his head, outside the railing of the cell, his daughter Dong Qian's face was particularly realistic. Climbed to the railing in three or two steps, stretched out his dirty hand, and helped his daughter wipe away her tears. It's hot, it's hot! It's my own daughter, and I'm really the most beloved daughter!

"Father, you have suffered!" Dong Qian grabbed her father's hand and couldn't speak anymore.

Dong Zhongshu burst into tears and stroked Dong Qian's face: "Father is fine, father is fine, how did you get in?" Is it ......?"

Dong Qian hurriedly shook her head: "Father, don't worry, everything is fine, I just came to see my father!" Bring some food for your father, don't worry, Su Ren is trying to save you, you can go out after a few more days! ”

"Su Ren? He's here too? Dong Zhongshu stretched out his head to look left and right.

"No, he went to Pingyang to find His Majesty! Su Ren said that only His Majesty can save his father! ”

Dong Zhongshu looked up to the sky and sighed, as a courtier, he naturally felt a little emotional in his heart when he heard the word His Majesty. The Three Strategies of Heaven and Man were dedicated to His Majesty, but unfortunately he had not had time to use them, and he became what he is now. A cadre of Confucians was imprisoned one after another, and the terrible screams could be heard every day. I don't know how Your Majesty is now? If the Empress Dowager has any intentions, it is not a good thing!

The father and daughter were talking, and several choked cries came from the cell opposite. Those who can enter the court are not ordinary people, and the most unfortunate is an official. Crying and crying like a woman like this is usually despised by these people, but here it is nothing at all.

"Zhao Yushi, Wang Langzhong?" Dong Zhongshu poked his head out and looked at the cell opposite: "Why are you two crying?" ”

The crying didn't stop, it just got a little quieter. Dong Qian hurriedly turned sideways and looked at the opposite side. That cell was even darker than Dong Zhongshu's, and if it weren't for the dim oil lamp in the hallway, it would not be clear that there were people inside. There were two people in that cell, which was very rare in the Imperial Lieutenant's Office. It seems that the two of them have been locked up for a long time, and compared with Dong Zhongshu, they are not only unkempt, but also scarred.

One squirmed a few times, then slowly moved to the railing. Thin, old and thin, with hands like chicken feet, and arms not as thick as an average baby. The hand gripped the railing, revealing a terrible face from the shadows. The wrinkles are piled up, the bones are no longer hanging, and they are loosely drooping.

"The old man heard that someone begged His Majesty to save you?" The man stared at Dong Zhongshu and Dong Qian eagerly: "The sky has eyes!" Your Majesty is a person of great affection, and when I go out, I will definitely assist Your Majesty in establishing immortal feats! Woo-woo......" he cried again as he spoke.

Dong Qian wanted to explain, but after seeing the person's appearance, the words came to her mouth and swallowed back. This appearance is still alive, relying on that breath, if there is no hope of His Majesty, this person will not live long.

Dong Zhongshu sighed: "Before it was done, Zhao Yushi still shouldn't have too much hope, after entering this court office, how many people can get out alive?" Zhao Yushi knows better than me! ”

Another person crawled over, similar to that Zhao Yushi. One of this person's hands was drooping, and it should have been interrupted when he was tortured: "Don't think about going out when you enter here, first have Chao Neishi as an example for us, although he is dead, his name is left, why should I die, as long as I can help His Majesty pro-government, it is worth exchanging my life!" ”

Zhao Yushi and Dong Zhongshu both nodded after hearing this. Dong Qian was startled, and hurriedly grabbed her father's hand and kept signaling.

Zhao Yushi smiled: "Mr. Dong, you have a good daughter, you can visit this court captain, I don't know how many means have been used, this woman is beautiful, it is better to dedicate it to Your Majesty, and you will definitely be able to help Your Majesty!" ”

"Uh......"

"That's a good proposal, I'll reconsider!" Wang Langzhong nodded again and again. Two eyeballs began to sweep over Dong Qian: "It's a pity that we are in prison and can't enter the United States for Your Majesty." ”

"What's so hard about that? It is still possible to call the prisoner, give him a few more money, and send a letter out for us, since Miss Dong can come in, it is also convenient for her to bring the letter! Just do it, and the two of them didn't ask for the opinions of the Dong family's father and daughter, and turned around to look for something to write. There were no bamboo slips and silk silks, and he tore a piece from his robe, which he didn't have much, and he dipped his fingers in his own blood to write without pen and ink.

Dong Qian looked at Dong Zhongshu, and Dong Zhongshu didn't know what to say. From the perspective of etiquette, proposing marriage to His Majesty requires the Queen Mother and the courtiers to discuss together, and now that the Queen Mother is also there, she can also intervene. Although Zhao Yushi and Wang Langzhong were imprisoned, they were still courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and they were able to protect the media. But Dong Qian didn't want to marry the emperor, in her eyes, the emperor would help him Dong Zhongshu and a few people go to prison, and she couldn't look down on it.

Zhao Yushi finished writing the last stroke, looked at it, nodded, and stretched out his hand to hand it out of the cell: "Girl, take it, give it to ...... when you go out"

"Bold prisoners, even dare to send letters privately!" The bearded cell head suddenly appeared in front of everyone, holding the blood book written by Zhao Yushi in his hand, pointing at Dong Qian and saying angrily: "Who are you?" How did you get in? Come on, take it for me! ”

The other cell hurriedly came out of the shadows and muttered a few words in the ear of the cell leader. The cell boss glanced at Dong Qian again: "Miss your first offense, this cell boss will not be held accountable, leave quickly, if you dare to come again, you will not be spared!" ”

The prison kept giving Dong Qian a look, and Dong Qian was reluctant to say goodbye to Dong Zhongshu, so she was dragged and dragged out of the court by the prison. finally saw her father and saw that Dong Zhongshu was safe and sound, Dong Qian was finally relieved. The only wish now is that Su Ren rescues his father as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be nice to never let my father be an official in the future, just study at home?

Out of the Tingwei Office, he was caught by Shi Bao, who was impatient for a long time, and entered the carriage accompanied by Leng Yue, and the two sisters cried one after another when they talked about the situation in prison. As for Zhao Yushi and Wang Langzhong's dedication of Dong Qian to the emperor, they didn't pay attention to it at all.

Uncle Yao poked his head out of the corner of the street, looked at the carriage of Sufu in the distance, smiled slightly, and turned around and entered the alley next to him. There is a small door in the hidden place in the alley, and the cell head just now was standing in the door, and when he saw Uncle Yao coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Yao, the villain is okay, right?" ”

Uncle Yao looked at the dirty rag in the cell leader's hand: "Yes, I will definitely speak for you in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Thank you Mr. Yao, hey, hey, hey!" The cell boss only cared about he, and the half of the rag was tightly clutched in his hand.

Uncle Yao frowned, and reluctantly took out a money bag from his arms: "Let's say it, this matter can't be spread outside, if people know, you don't need me to remind you what happened, right?" ”

Seeing the money, the cell boss snatched it and stuffed the rag in his hand into Uncle Yao's hand: "Mr. Yao, don't worry, it's not the first time you and I have done business, I know what to do!" ”

"That's good!" Uncle Yao nodded with a smile and put the piece of cloth into his arms: "You count the money slowly and say goodbye!" ”

"Mr. Yao, go slowly, next time there will be such a good thing, just come to me!"

Walked out of the small door, left the alley, and felt that no one was following him. Uncle Yao likes to walk into a wine shop and run to the hall, this is the gentleman of Princess Tao's mansion, so he naturally doesn't dare to slack off. While accompanying the smiling face, he invited Uncle Yao to the private room in the back. This is the best wine shop in Dongcheng, and there are many capable people who eat here, some know Uncle Yao's love, and some don't know Uncle Yao's love.

Those who do not know ask those who know, "Who is this?" So magnificent? ”

The acquaintance smiled, muttered in the ear of the unknown for a long time, and the two covered their mouths and snickered. Looking at Uncle Yao's eyes again, there was a lot of playfulness and disdain.

In the private room on the second floor, the first-class banquet has been prepared, and a large jar of spirits from Shu County is placed next to it. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er said a lot of nice things, and then they withdrew from the door.

Make sure again, no one is following, no one is peeking, and Uncle Yao loves to take out the rag that the cell boss gave him from his chest. After only reading the first few sentences, Uncle Yao was stunned, and he had a feeling of being deceived. This is obviously a marriage letter, and the two people who are locked up in prison want to dedicate Dong Zhongshu's daughter to the emperor through the celebrant order. Uncle Yao was amused in love, these three guys were so merciful and merciful, for the sake of their lives, they did not hesitate to give their daughters to the emperor, they really called themselves saints' protégés.

Throwing down the marriage book, Uncle Yao was very helpless. In his plan, what the cell boss got was anything but this useless rag. drank the stuffy wine one by one, and the dishes on several cases did not move. Suddenly, the drunken and hazy Uncle Yao saw something! grabbed the marriage book on the ground and studied it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the stronger the smile on my face became, until I finally laughed.
