(PS: Without this, the dot push is so ugly!) Since there are so many friends who have watched it, let's symbolically count the votes?! Is it the next book that makes you so sick that you want to read it and don't want to vote? Or is it good to see that everyone forgot to vote? Let's remind everyone a lot! Hiss for votes!! )

"Shen Shizi, there is a visitor!"
When the fat and smiling Chief Manager Shen Deshen appeared in front of Shen Yun and said this to him, everyone felt surprised and incredible.
Shi Qian also whistled, and said enviously: "Manager Shen, it's been almost two years since I've been here, but why hasn't anyone ever come to visit?" It's weird! ”
In fact, Grade A prisons are not allowed to be visited at all. Not to mention a river and ocean thief like Hou Kan, who used to travel widely, even if he is a poor broker like Zhang Ji, there will be a few close friends who want to come to see him, but without exception, they will be blocked. So it's really surprising that someone like Shen Yun is visiting.
Shen De ignored their gossip, and was even more disdainful of Shi Qian's teasing, but just nodded and opened the cell door, and bowed very humbly and said, "Offended, son!" He re-tied the handcuffs and feet that had been opened by Shi Qian before.
To tell the truth, Shen Yun's mind flashed through countless people who would come to visit him. There is Fang Transcription, Yan Ruyue, and Zhou Hui, and there is even a faint expectation, I hope it is Buchan...... But when he actually saw the visitors, he was taken aback.
"James, how are you?" Shen Yun exclaimed.
In the humble visitation room, there was a long table in the middle, and four deaf and dumb jailers armed with swords, bows and crossbows stood aside.
James had curly blond hair and a smile on his face, indescribably pleasant.
"Why can't it be me? My friend, you seem to be fat......"
Seeing his warm smile, Shen Yun couldn't help but smile, and made an exaggerated movement: "I haven't had a place to exercise in the morning for the past two days, so I've grown a little fat." ”
"Oh, I don't like a fat guy to be my friend!" James deliberately showed a look of disgust.
"Really? I'm sorry, I'll probably be your first fat friend! Shen Yun shrugged and said casually.
James cried and said, "Well, my fat friend, you don't want us to just stand and talk, do you?" ”
Shen Yun immediately made a respectful gesture, but the way he was barefoot and handcuffed and chatting was extremely funny.
James smiled and sat down at the long table with Shen Yun.
The rules here are similar to those of modern times, and there is no physical contact between the two people across the table. However, unlike in modern society, where there are prison guards, if they have physical contact here, those deaf and dumb jailers will directly greet them with weapons......
"You know, my fat friend, I even used up the only right to see you in order to see you!" Although James said this, there was no loss in his words, but he was happy to be able to visit Shen Yun.
Shen Yundao: "The right to see you? What is it? ”
James smiled: "I am a Roman nobleman, of course there is a certain privilege to come to study in the Han Dynasty, and your nobles are the same when they go to Rome." My privilege is to have the right to directly ask for the Emperor of your country once! But now, no, I'm using this opportunity on you! ”
If other Han people heard this, they would inevitably be a little frightened. James treats himself like an emperor. However, Shen Yun didn't have the feeling of the emperor's supremacy, so he didn't have that panic, only a little more moved, and said with a smile: "Thank you, James!" What's going on out there now? Why didn't they come? Also, how is my father? ”
Speaking of this, James's originally grinning face sank, and he leaned his head forward, although he knew that those jailers couldn't hear it, he still lowered his voice: "Something big has happened, and you will be tried by the three divisions in three days...... In fact, Duanping Princess Zhou Hui begged me to come to see you, she didn't know where to find out that I could visit you by canceling the right to visit, so yesterday I begged for a long time, you don't know how bad she cried at that time, and threatened me, saying that if I don't come to visit you, she will dismantle me or something, and she is violating the treaty between the Han and Rome by doing so......"
"Ahem!" Shen Yun coughed gloomily, and James hurriedly retracted: "Uh, I'm sorry, I digressed...... Her Royal Highness the princess asked me to tell you, Ling Zun's assassination is not simple, the Yulin Secret Guard is a force directly under the emperor of your country, they do not allow you to accept anyone's visits, Teng Yujun, Senior Sister Ruyue, they all wanted to come and see you, but they were all turned away! But don't worry, they're already trying to clear your name. I heard that in ten days at most, His Royal Highness Hu Gong, Ling Zun's best friend, will come to Kyoto, and if it still doesn't work at that time, they will go to ask His Royal Highness Hu Gong for help! ”
Shen Yun asked, "Who is Hu Gong?" What do you call him Your Highness? ”
James was surprised: "You don't even know Hu Gong? Zhang Liao, the Duke of Hu, is the duke of the Holy Ancestor Emperor of your country, and all those who have the title of duke or above in your country are called His Royal Highness! The current His Royal Highness Hu Gong is the thirtieth generation head of the Hu Gong family. One of the four generalissimos of your country, commanding the three first-class legions of your country's flying cavalry, biao cavalry, and flying eagle, is a first-class real power figure in your country! ”
Shen Yun's heart suddenly made waves. Such a powerful figure turned out to be his father's best friend? Then why is my father still an idle marquis with no official position? He is not a stupid person, on the contrary, Shen Yun is still an extremely intelligent person, touching the analogy, drawing inferences, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and suddenly exclaimed: "James, you must do me a favor this time!" ”
James smiled: "Of course, my fat friend, I'm here to help you!" ”
"You must help me tell Teng Yujun and them, and tell them not to go to His Royal Highness Duke Hu to clear my name! Otherwise, you're not helping me, you just want me to die soon! ”
It has been said that the political struggle in ancient China is the dirtiest, dirtiest, and most wonderful history in the world. Not one of them. The knowledge in it is absolutely unattainable in the history of any country in the world. Of course, many countries are not even very old.
Shen Yun, who is from modern times, naturally has seen too much of such dirty struggles, and his thinking is more extensive and broad.
He suddenly realized that he was unintentionally afraid that he had offended someone who could not be offended, or that his father had offended that person. With intuition, Shen Yun thought that this person definitely had the power to completely tear the Bohai family apart!
"My father is dead, and my mother, who I haven't met but can feel the strong maternal love, is also going to die, and I can only continue to squat in this prison, and I don't even dare to use the only strength I can use! Because with the help of it, I'm afraid I don't even have the right to live! Me, what should I do? ”
Shen Yun almost groaned.
A sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of my heart. In his previous life, his family was ruined by power, and now he has changed the world, do he have to repeat it again?
Shen Yun once again felt his insignificance. In the face of absolute power, it seems that he has been bearing and compromising all the time, but in the end, he has been hurting...... Could this be your own fate?
Thinking of this, Shen Yun's body trembled. The eyes that were originally sharp in color gradually dimmed.
"Yuan Rang-kun, what are you afraid of?" James suddenly said to Shen Yun solemnly, "You are the prince of Bohai and the heir of the Bohai family!" Why be afraid? Please, cheer up! I am a Roman nobleman, and you are a Han nobleman. Rome and the Han are both the most powerful countries in the world, and as a powerful nobleman, you should show your courage! Your cowardly appearance is really insulting to the reputation of a strong country!! ”
James' words were like a slap in the face. Shen Yun's heart was shocked.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a light that made James feel fear--- he suddenly had a feeling that he had just done something wrong!
What James didn't know was that feeling would recur ten years later. The only mistake he made today was to rekindle Shen Yun's fighting spirit and courage when Shen Yun was at his most depressed!
Of course, if it weren't for James's words, Shen Yun would have understood this sooner or later, and his words only catalyzed the progress of the process.
"No longer let yourself be so small, your own destiny must be in your own hands! In my previous life, I didn't have this foundation, but in this life, I am the Marquis of Bohai, and I am the heir of the marquis of the Han Empire!! There will be a big family waiting for me to inherit, and I will have power, and I will have power that no one can abuse at will!! ”
Shen Yun clenched his fists tightly and screamed in his heart.
…………………… Dividing line ........................
"Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend. Hearing the drums at night, looking back at the past. I think about it, and I think about it, and I am bitter when you are bitter. Only for the peace of the king, the Qing self-expression to the sky. ”
This is a letter that James handed to Shen Yun. It is a Juanxiu font written with a brush, and at first glance you know that it is written by a woman. But on the slightly powdery letterhead, there was no payment. James didn't say either. So Shen Yun didn't know who wrote the letter.
Yan Ruyue?
A warm current crossed Shen Yun's heart. It must be her. The ambiguous touch in the green gauze tent made him still feel his heart beating uncontrollably.
This is the first love letter I've ever received, right? For her sake, I shouldn't have accepted my fate! Why should Lao Tzu be the chopping block meat of those guys? Hmph, I'd like to give it a try!
Shen Yun stuffed the letterhead into his arms, and saw Shi Qian looking at him with the iron bar.
Shi Qian noticed Shen Yun's eyes, and the thief smiled: "Shizi, what are you looking at?" Is it a family letter? ”
Shen Yun nodded in a ghostly way: "Yes, my wife wrote it to me!" ”
"Ah," Shi Qian said happily, "it turns out that the son of the world is married?" Tsk, I'm so envious! ”
"We didn't get married, we just loved each other! When I graduate, I'll marry her! Shen Yun was also quite proud, and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you have a wife?" ”
is such a simple question, and it actually stopped these high-rollers. Ouyang Fu needless to say, if he had a wife, he wouldn't become a flower thief. Not to mention Shi Laosan, Zhang Ji can't support himself, where did he get the money to marry a wife! Most of them have an old mother or father in the family to support, but they don't have a wife. However, Hou Kan said with some pride: "I have three wives and two sets of children for me, but I ......"
"But in the end, I left him!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a sneer, "If it weren't for Bohai Hou Renyi, who brought his parents and children to Bohai County to support, it is estimated that he would be alone by now!" ”
Hou Kan said angrily: "Bai Xiaosheng, Hugh will play with your lips and tongue again." Don't I know that you also have a pair of children in your hometown in Hengshui, and the four wives and concubines divided your property, leaving your mother to wander the streets and almost starve to death. We know all these things. ”
Bai Xiaosheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said: "Bohai Hou is kind, we will not forget ......"
Shen Yun's eyes burned, and he suddenly thought of some methods. It may not work, but it's better than sitting here.
The Han people of this era will do what they say and make a promise. and filial piety and sincerity, "the soldier dies for his confidant" is not a curse, but a truth that they will practice with their lives. Especially these high-rollers, they are extremely grateful. "Receiving a drop of water from others, gushing springs to repay it" things abound. What's more, what Bohai Hou Shen Mu did was to support their parents and raise their children on their behalf, which is a great favor that is higher than the sky and the earth!
With this premise, it shouldn't be a problem for Shen Yunyang to beg them to do a few things. Sure enough, when Shen Yun asked Shi Qian and the others if they were willing to do him a favor, these bold men all patted their chests and agreed.
"Shizi, don't say it's a thing, even if you let me smash this cell and save you out, I will never frown!" Zhang Ji swore and said.
Shi Qian obviously still had some concerns, but he also said: "The son of the world, Ling Zun has a great grace to me, and the son of this world has a life, so Shi Qian will also let it go!" ”
Hou Kan shouted in a thick voice: "The prince wants to leave here? Although I've been locked up for five years, I still have some fame in the rivers and lakes, if the prince really wants to leave here, I will accompany the son to break out and ensure the safety of the son! ”
Bai Xiaosheng also frowned slightly, and said, "Where does the prince want to go after leaving here?" Rome or Caliphate? I have some connections, so I can get out safely! ”
Shen Yun waved his hand again and again: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to immigrate abroad...... I'm Han, so it's better to stay here...... Actually, what I'm begging you to do is not too difficult, but it may be a little risky. I know that according to your abilities, it will be easy to escape from this place, but I have only condescended to stay here because of the safety of my parents, wife and children. I, Shen Yun, am not a person who blackmails with grace, what I said, if you can do it, you will do your best, if it really doesn't work, I won't make it difficult for others! ”
When the prince said this, he saw the outside. We are all felons, and unless there is a royal pardon, we will only be able to live in this hellish place for the rest of our lives! Today, when you can repay the great kindness of the world, what do you do with those words that are not seen? But there is an order, and we will obey it! Hou Kan replied loudly.
Everyone agreed. Only then did Shen Yun realize that his father had really left a large amount of precious "inheritance" for himself!
