Chapter 313: Charcoal in the Snow
The butler knelt straight outside the door and said nothing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Wenqian, who returned to the mansion, could completely bypass it, he knew Liu Bingzhong's housekeeper, and he also vaguely knew the purpose of the housekeeper's coming, which made Zhang Wenqian feel strange why the housekeeper could think of coming to him.
Ahma's eyes in the court made Zhang Wenqian understand that Liu Bingzhong was afraid that he would not live for a few days and would be imprisoned in the prison, as long as Ahma did something a little, Liu Bingzhong would not be able to escape this catastrophe.
Zhang Wenqian didn't plan to help, in fact, at this time, it would be very good not to fall into the ground.
On the court that day, the performance of Yan Zhongfan and others suddenly made Zhang Wenqian feel disgusted, and also made him reflect, could it be that the Han people in the court are like this, for their own interests, they spare no effort to trample on others, and they are former colleagues, if the Han people leave such an impression on the emperor, what status can be said.
Zhang Wenqian thought of Wang Wentong, the original Wang Wentong, when he was attacked by many Han colleagues, he didn't know what kind of mood he felt, and when Wang Wentong was beheaded, he was afraid that he made the most vicious curse in his heart.
Now the curse has been fulfilled.
Liu Bingzhong's problem is by no means an isolated problem, even fools know that the Semu people represented by Ahma, who are frantically attacking and calculating the Han ministers in the court, ignore the facts, and talk nonsense, but Ahma and others have the support of the emperor and can have no fear, and others dare not refute, unless it is a single Mongolian prince who can stand up.
So far, it has not been possible for any Mongol prince to come forward.
Zhang Wenqian looked at the housekeeper kneeling in front of the mansion, sighed slightly, and walked over slowly.
"I beg my lord to save my lord, my lord is wronged...
When Zhang Wenqian instinctively prepared to refuse, his mind suddenly moved.
"Butler, it's not that I don't want to make a move, it's just that I can't help it, what your family did this time, I can't say anything, you still have to think of other ways."
"My lord, my lord was wronged, in that prison, the little one also knows, once followed my lord to see, if there is no one to take care of him, my lord will definitely not be able to survive, beg the adults to help my lord, in the next life to be a cow and a horse to repay the adult."
The housekeeper's words made Zhang Wenqian a little surprised, the meaning of this is very clear, it is not to ask him Zhang Wenqian to say good things in front of the emperor, but to ask him to help, so that Liu Bingzhong does not die in the prison.
The housekeeper would never have thought of this, and there must be someone behind him.
Zhang Wenqian didn't trace the source, he pondered for a while, and spoke again.
"Housekeeper, I know, what I can do, I will work hard, it's hard to say if it's effective, don't kneel here, so as not to attract the attention of others, but it will not be good for your master."
The housekeeper heard that after kowtowing heavily to Zhang Wenqian, he stood up and left.
For a full week, Liu Bingzhong in the prison lived a purgatory-like life, and was insulted and tortured several times, which made him unbearable and wanted to die.
Liu Bingzhong knows the shady scene in the prison, in the insult and torture of the jailers, there are very few people who can survive, and this situation has existed for many years.
In fact, Liu Bingzhong still has a trace of illusion, since the emperor did not kill him directly, it is possible to release him, as long as he can survive the days in the prison, there is hope.
It is precisely because of such an idea that Liu Bingzhong was able to grit his teeth and persevere.
When the Spring Festival was approaching, Liu Bingzhong's treatment in the prison suddenly improved, the jailers no longer bothered him, and the food was much richer, and he was even able to eat fish occasionally.
Liu Bingzhong was happy, he felt that this must be the emperor's direct inquiry, otherwise no one could help him, and no one was willing to come forward at this time.
People's thoughts always change with the change of the environment, especially when they are extremely vulnerable, and it is not surprising that Liu Bingzhong's thoughts have changed.
Liu Bingzhong, who has a tenacious will to survive, judged that he has passed more than a month in the prison with his own years of experience.
Finally, the housekeeper was able to enter the prison, and there was still a quarter of an hour to be alone with Liu Bingzhong.
This kind of treatment is unlikely to exist in the prison, which can only show that Liu Bingzhong's situation has gradually improved.
When he saw the housekeeper, Liu Bingzhong was very excited, in fact, when he was taken away by the guards in the palace, Liu Bingzhong had already begun to worry about the fate of the housekeeper and the people in the family, what the guards would do when they raided the house, Liu Bingzhong was very clear.
I didn't expect to be able to see the butler after such a long time.
Liu Bingzhong's inner judgment became more and more accurate.
After the housekeeper saw Liu Bingzhong, he left tears in his eyes, and he brought a food box, which contained many sumptuous dishes, of course, these dishes were examined in detail by the jailers.
"Butler, I can't imagine that you are still alive, how are those subordinates in the family now."
"It's all right, thanks to the master. Today is the fifteenth day of the first month.,The little one came to see the master.。。。 ”
"Didn't the palace guards trouble you?"
"No, the big guys are fine, but I'm worried about the master, the little ones came to see the master this time, and the big guys have said, the master must take care, and the big guys will still follow the master in the future. . . ."
The housekeeper didn't know what to say, let alone talk about things outside, which made Liu Bingzhong a little anxious.
"Butler, tell me how you got through."
Liu Bingzhong interrupted the butler's ramblings, he needed to know the answer.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and slapped himself, probably knowing that he was delaying important things, after all, he was in the prison, and time was very precious.
"The little one is damn, I almost missed the big thing, the small one and the big one were rescued by Tong Zhuangshi, and now everyone is doing things in Tong Zhuangshi's inn, and they are all living very well. The master still remembers that Tong Zhuangshi, who went to the mansion to find the master. ”
At this, the butler lowered his voice.
"Tong Zhuangshi is really a good person, busy for the master's affairs, I don't know how much silver I put in, the little one told Tong Zhuangshi, in the next life, he will be a cow and a horse to repay Tong Zhuangshi...
Liu Bingzhong was also stunned, but he was still calm.
"Butler, tell me more about what is going on."
The butler wiped away his tears, nodded and continued to speak.
"Tong Zhuangshi gave the little one an idea, and asked the small one to beg Lord Zhang Wenqian, Lord Dou Mo, Lord Yao Shu, and Lord Gao E, etc., saying that the master was wronged, and begged them to help talk, so that the master would not suffer wrongs in the prison, and Tong Zhuangshi also took out a lot of silver, and asked the small one to give it to the jailers in the prison, so that they could pay more attention to the master, this time, the small one was able to see the master, and it was also the silver that Tong Zhuangshi took out. . . ."
Liu Bingzhong was completely stunned, and all his speculations were ruthlessly overturned.
"Tong Zhuangshi also said, the master must hold on, it won't take long, there will be amnesty in the court, and the master will definitely be able to leave the prison...
The time is up, and the housekeeper is leaving.
Liu Bingzhong finally spoke again.
"Butler, follow Tong Zhuangshi's side, do things well, don't have two hearts, you know."
"The small one does this, don't worry, the small one will definitely do a good job."
The housekeeper left, and Liu Bingzhong also fell into deep thought.
The housekeeper came this time and brought the news he urgently needed to know, but this news was too cruel, at least dispelling Liu Bingzhong's illusions, but it also brought other hopes.
Ahma did want to calculate him Liu Bingzhong, and the inhuman torture he suffered in the prison was probably what Ahma meant, but Zhang Wenqian and others still took action, saving him from being tortured to death by the jailers, and then Tong Zhuangshi shot again and used money to make Liu Bingzhong's life better.
The one who dominates this is Tong Zhuangshi, if it weren't for Tong Zhuangshi teaching the housekeeper how to do it, he Liu Bingzhong would have died a long time ago.
As for the amnesty that Tong Zhuangshi mentioned, there must be an amnesty, every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor will be amnesty, this year is the first year of the emperor, and he will unswervingly implement the amnesty, as long as it is not a capital crime, it is basically in the amnesty list.
Behind Tong Zhuangshi, in fact, is Wu Shaogang, the Sichuan envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.
Liu Bingzhong understood why Zhang Rou, who had been doing things for the Mongolian court for decades, chose to return to Shun and went to Sichuan with his family, and why Hao Jing would spare no effort to do things for Wu Shaogang.
A person's charm and attractiveness are shown in the most crucial things.
Liu Bingzhong has reached the lowest point in his life, and almost no one will help at this time, but Wu Shaogang, who is thousands of miles away, actually made a move, and grasped the crux of the problem, allowing him Liu Bingzhong to avoid this huge disaster.
At this moment, Liu Bingzhong suddenly had a strong belief in his heart, he must live, get out of the prison alive, go to Chengdu Mansion in Sichuan alive, and see Wu Shaogang alive.
The aroma of the dishes brought back Liu Bingzhong's thoughts.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, you can't treat yourself badly, you must take care of your body.
Picking up the chopsticks, Liu Bingzhong began to eat the food.
When the jailer came over, he rarely nodded to Liu Bingzhong, and he didn't mean to stop Liu Bingzhong from eating vegetables at all.
The strange smile on the jailer's face did not attract Liu Bingzhong's attention, Liu Bingzhong at this moment, thinking of the emperor's amnesty in his heart, and thinking of how to get out of the prison decently. (To be continued.) )
