After Ximen Liu climbed to the prime minister's national fee, he walked on the ground wherever he went, and there was no yamen who didn't buy his account. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the arrangement of Dali Temple Qing You'an, a prison head led Ximen Liu into the prison. The first level of the prison is a row of iron bars, each of which houses a prisoner waiting to be killed. The prisoners, who had not seen light of day for a long time, saw that the door of the cell was open, and a light came in from the outside, and they all got up from the haystack with great difficulty, and leaned against the fence, their faces bloodless, their eyes open with expectation, and their mouths screaming.

When Ximen Liu saw the scene in prison, he was nauseous and wanted to vomit. He froze and wanted to exit, but the prison head in front of him was still leading the way: "Ximen Gong, be careful, go this way!" ”

He thought that since he had come here, he might as well go to the end. He lowered his head, and without looking at the prisoners, followed the jailer down a dozen stone steps to an underground cell.

The cell was cramped, dark, and damp, with only a faint light coming through the narrow cracks in the iron windows above, and the dust in the beams of light showed how dirty the cell was.

"Ming Zhu! Someone has come to visit you! The jailer opened the cell door with the key, whispered to the corner of the cell, and then nodded to Ximen Liu and said, "Ximen Gong, there will be an execution at three o'clock in the afternoon today, so there is not much time." You always try to be as fast as you can. ”

Ximen Liu nodded, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and handed it to the prison chief. The jailer turned around and went out with a thousand thanks.

Ming Zhu Gong curled up on the grass pile in the corner of the wall, and when he saw a beam of light coming in from the outside, he struggled to get up and came to the circle of light illuminated by the beam. As he walked, the handcuffs and anklets clanged.

At this time, Ming Zhu Gong had been tortured to the point that he was skinny, his face was like a vegetable, his face was wrinkled, his eye sockets were deep, and he was not human-shaped. When he saw Ximen Liu, he didn't have a special reaction, he didn't see anger or annoyance, he just smiled sadly: "What are you doing here?" I'm sure you're here to see me off! ”

Ximen Liuyin had just come down, and felt that it was dark in front of him, and after rubbing his eyes for a long time, he noticed the existence of Ming Zhugong.

Ximen Liu smiled slightly: "It's okay for you to say so." Before you leave, I invite you to a meal and a chat. He beckoned behind him.

He was followed by four servants, each carrying a tray, bringing three plates of vegetables, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses and two pairs of chopsticks.

The little servant put the tray on the ground, bowed to Simon Liu, and then turned around and walked out of the cell.

Ming Zhu Gong saw it and said lightly: "I can't see it, you still have such leisure!" ”

Simon Liupi said with a smile: "Before you leave, I invite you to eat something good, there should be nothing wrong with it." You won't suspect me of poisoning the food. As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on his knees, picked up the flask with one hand, unscrewed the lid, and suddenly a rich smell of wine filled the cell, and diffused to the ground. When the prisoners above smelled the wine, they sniffed desperately and shouted, "Good wine! Give us a drink! ”

Ming Zhugong knew that Ximen Liu was here like a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he definitely didn't have a good heart. But at this time, his life was also in his hands, so he simply wanted to open a little, so he had this send-off bar with him. He doesn't necessarily poison the food, but if he poisons the food, it would be even better, and he could end up with a whole corpse. lest they go to the place of execution and the corpses are separated.

Ming Zhu Gong wanted to sit down on the ground, but he suddenly felt dizzy, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, next to it was the wall of the cell, and he stopped against the wall for a while, and then sat down on the side of Ximen Liu along the wall.

Ximen Liu raised his butt and moved a few steps, sat down opposite Ming Zhugong, then lifted the wine jug and poured wine for the two wine glasses, and handed a glass to Ming Zhugong with one hand, "This is your favorite Mengliang liquid!" ”

Ming Zhugong took Ximen Liu and handed it to the wine glass, and drank it all. The shackles clanged as he drank.

Ming Zhu Gong drank three glasses of wine wordlessly.

"Don't you have something to say to me?" Ximen Liu asked.

Ming Zhu Gong put down the wine glass, raised his eyes, and shot a glint from his shriveled eyes, "The matter has come to this!" It's useless to say more! ”

Ximen Liu's heart tightened by that essence, and he hurriedly lowered his eyelashes, "You should hate me to death in your heart!" ”

Ming Zhugong muttered, "What about hate? What if you don't hate? ”

"It's impossible for you not to hate me, unless you're not human! You want me to die! I wish I could go back to the past, if that was the case, you would have saved my life and prevented me from being the chief treasurer. Anyway, you wish everything about me hadn't happened. Speaking of this, Ximen Liu suddenly laughed and said, "I know, you think that hating me is far from enough to solve the current problem." You're hating yourself! You hate why you saved my life in the first place, and you hate why you promoted me to be the chief treasurer in the first place! You think you were the one who caused it all to happen! ”

Ming Zhugong's eyes shone with a faint light, "You are indeed very smart!" Why can't your wisdom be used on the right path? ”

"What is the right way?" Ximen Liu looked back at his gaze, and his eyes also flashed, "In your eyes, it is the right way for me to always be the chief treasurer for you." And in my eyes, everything I do now is the right way. You see, I have everything you have now! Everyone calls me a duke, and although I can't be a duke like you, isn't it sooner or later? ”

Ming Zhugong was speechless, and asked coldly for a while, "Are you here to show off?" ”

"Show off? Show off in front of you? I'm not stupid enough to be that point! Ximen Liu smiled, "I know your eyes can penetrate my heart." In your eyes, I am the snake of Dongguo and the wolf of Zhongshan! My soul is black and ugly! Everything I have now comes up on your body, so where do I have something to show off in front of you! I'm just talking to you. I have a stomach in my heart to tell you. As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine, raised his glass, drank it dry, looked at Ming Zhugong and continued: "Don't you want to know, why did I betray you, and when did I start betraying you?" ”

Ming Zhu Gong didn't say anything, his eyes looked at Ximen Liu blankly, as if looking at the air.

"From the day you saved me, I asked God: Why are you the richest man in the world, the richest in the world, and I am a beggar with no clothes? It's so damn unfair! Speaking of this, Ximen Liu's tone was a little excited, and he took another sip of the wine glass, "You think you have done a good deed, but for me, this is a complete charity!" Speaking from the heart, from then on, I was not convinced in my heart, determined to defeat you one day! ”

Ming Zhugong smiled bitterly, and also took a sip of the wine glass.

Simon put a chopstick dish into his mouth, and continued while chewing: "After the anger, I regained my composure, I feel that you are a mountain, and it is impossible to surpass you. When it's calm, my heart is also grateful to you. Of course, mentioning gratitude at this time seems a little funny and a little out of place. I'm sure you're impatient to listen either. Or talk about my badness, my cruelty and my evil! Maybe you are more interested in this topic! ”

Ming Zhu Gong sat silently at the foot of the wall, completely submerged in darkness, as if he was a ghost that did not exist. Ximen Liu is now talking to the dying ghost, so there is no taboo and no concealment.

Ximen Liu gulped down a few chopsticks dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, and said without scruples: "To tell you the truth, those bandits in the past were all assigned by me. Just to steal your treasure book hidden in the secret room! Now, don't be busy. Your book "Returning to Heaven" has already fallen into my hands. ”

Ming Zhu Gong was not moved by the gains and losses of the Book of Heaven, but replied coldly: "You finally got your wish!" ”

Ximen Liu's eyes stared at Ming Zhu Gong, "Everyone in the world says that you have earned a huge fortune by relying on the guidance of the Book of Heaven. What else do you say about using it for business, being rich enough to rival the country, using it for governing the country and dominating the world! I read through "Returning to Heaven", and it was a bunch of nonsense, where is there any guidance for wealth and power? You're just making a fool of yourself and sensational! ”

Ming Zhugong lowered his head and sighed slightly, but did not answer.

Ximen Liu wanted to figure out the true meaning of every sentence in the Book of Heaven, but seeing that Ming Zhu Gong couldn't get words out of his mouth, he had to continue to talk to himself: "I have surpassed you now, and I have no opponent in this world. So it doesn't make much sense to me anymore. But what I want to tell you is that the reason why you are guillotined today is because of your own heavenly book! ”

Ming Zhugong raised his head and looked at Ximen Liu with slight eyes.

"Myeong-ok has repelled Kim Jong-lei's 200,000 soldiers. Do you know? Ximen Liu said casually.

When Ming Zhugong heard this, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his body straightened up a little.

Ximen Liu's face was triumphant, and he continued to say aggressively: "Why did Mingyu have already repelled Chen Bing, but you were beheaded by the emperor and sent to the guillotine?" Aren't you curious about that? I'll tell you plainly, lest you'll die and be a fool. To tell you the truth, I just used your heavenly book to send you to the guillotine. There is a sentence on page 25 of "Returning to Heaven": In the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Wei Ming, General Jin Ke Weijing, beheaded Emperor Wei! That's what I used to guillotine! ”

When Ming Zhugong heard this, he sighed and muttered to himself: "Alas, I am really cocooned and self-bound!" ”

Ximen Liu stared at Ming Zhugong, "The twenty-fifth year of Emperor Wei Ming is next year, how do you know about next year?" Also, is this true? Do you really have the power of an unknown prophet? ”

Ming Zhu Gong let out a sneer from the darkness: "Yes, I can predict the prophet, I can clearly see that it is only a year and a half, and you Ximen Liu will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Smack!" Ximen Liu slammed his chopsticks on the tray, his eyes were fixed on Ming Zhugong, and he reprimanded: "Old guy, you dare to curse me!" ”
