Chapter 184 Southward Fourteen
In the dark cell, the lights are dim.
There was a faint smell of mold wafting in the air, and the occasional ** sound coming from the cell in the distance made people's backs chill.
Damp walls, overgrown with moss.
A ray of light refracted through the window, and countless clouds of dust drifted inside.
A rat passed under Zhang Mu's feet, raised its head and glanced at Zhang Mu, and continued to wander around the cell as if no one was around.
Zhang Mu was tied to a wooden stake and couldn't move.
His eyes were fixed on the flaming oil lamp on the wall, and he closed his eyes tiredly.
Since separating from Han Yuyan, Zhang Mu has been here non-stop, and he is hungry, sleepy, and drowsy at the moment.
The head kept clicking like a chicken pecking rice, and suddenly I felt something on my leg, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a mouse.
Zhang Mu was suddenly startled and struggled hard, and after the mouse was frightened, it disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Mu looked at everything around him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
"Damn, I'm really in the water. You shouldn't agree to this drudgery, otherwise Lao Tzu is now at home, lying comfortably, earning a little money, and worry-free about food and clothing. What a good thing. As a result, the wind and frost sword all day long, not to mention the day and night, and now I have become a prisoner, what kind of sin have I made. ”
Zhang Mu thought indignantly in his heart.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the cell, and two jailers wearing soap clothes and red soap armor came in and untied Zhang Mu without saying a word.
"Can I go?" Zhang Mu asked curiously.
"it, what's the good thing you want? Mr. Li will personally interrogate you. Hmph, you are so bold, you dare to rush into the honor guard of Deputy General Li, I think you are tired. ”
The other also said like a fierce god: "Be honest. ”
After Zhang Mu was untied, he was immediately escorted into the interrogation room.
At the end of the prison was a secret room with a cast-iron door.
Zhang Mu was escorted into the interrogation room, where he was handcuffed by the jailers and hung with a rope.
In this way, Zhang Mu could only touch the ground with his toes, which was very uncomfortable.
When everything was ready, the two jailers walked out.
Zhang Mu chuckled in his heart: "Could it be that Li Yunchang was also bought by Wang Ming?" ”
While he was thinking wildly, Li Yunchang wore civilian clothes and stepped into the cell.
He sat down in his chair, turned around and said, "Close the door of the cell, and you won't have to wait." ”
One of his personal soldiers hurried out, and then closed the door and guarded the outside.
Li Yunchang glanced at your embarrassed Zhang Mu, raised his eyebrows, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Boy, say, why are you colluding with the bandits!" ”
Zhang Mu couldn't help but be stunned by his question.
blinked his eyes and smiled coldly: "Deputy Chief Li is such a great official." I didn't expect you to wear the same pants with them, but it's a pity that Your Majesty still thinks you are an upright person. Hehe, it looks the same. ”
"Don't talk flattering here, this official asks you, why do you want to collude with bandits!" Li Yunchang got up and said angrily.
"I, Zhang Munai, am a dignified brocade cloth and a hundred households, even if I collude with bandits, I should be judged by His Majesty, what qualifications do you have to yell at me? Want to bend into a trick? Dream on! Zhang Mu finally couldn't help but say angrily.
"It's a bit grumpy. You really didn't collude with bandits? Li Yunchang's tone suddenly changed, and he sat down and smiled.
"Collusion. However, I have already explained the reason to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will have his decision in detail. Zhang Mu said.
Li Yunchang sighed lightly and said, "You are too careless." How did you get things like this? ”
"Hey." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. It was just an oversight, so Wang Ming was calculated. However, I haven't died yet, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he Wang Ming doesn't want to cover the sky with one hand. How did he frame Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will have to return it to him sooner or later. This time, if he is not allowed to raid his family and exterminate the clan, Lao Tzu will have his surname! Zhang Mu said with a smile.
When Li Yunchang heard this, he said: "You can be wronged here first, and I have already ordered someone to find a place for you to live." It's the safest place at the moment. Right now, the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is looking for your whereabouts. You avoid it first. ”
"I can wait, I'm afraid my subordinates can't wait. Wang Ming will not let me go, and I believe that they will definitely kill people before His Majesty's holy decree arrives. I, Zhang Mu, am not afraid of death, but I can't watch my people die. Zhang Mu said.
"What are you going to do?" Li Yunchang asked.
"Wang Ming must confirm the ironclad evidence of my collusion with bandits, and then make a fuss, so that His Majesty will not be able to defend me. I plan to go to Wenzhou immediately to thoroughly investigate the corruption situation in the health centers there. As long as you follow the vine and find ironclad evidence of Wang Ming's corruption, you won't be able to defeat him. Zhang Mu said.
"Just you? Single-handedly? Li Yunchang said with a smile.
"Didn't I come to ask for Master Li's help? Anyway, I'm all here, do you hand me over to Wang Ming or help me, eradicate Wang Ming, and Lord Li will do it himself. Anyway, a small character like me, if I die, I don't know how Your Majesty will feel? Zhang Mu said casually.
Li Yunchang smiled slightly, he understood what Zhang Mu meant.
Zhang Mu is the emperor's light brocade guard, naturally he trusts Zhang Mu very much, if Zhang Mu dies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhu Yuanzhang will be furious.
Even if Wang Ming framed Zhang Mu, although Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but kill Zhang Mu, he would definitely be suspicious of Wang Ming.
Wang Mingnai is the commander of the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the commander-in-chief of the military household of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guard, and he is the deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for fighting against the Japanese invaders.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely doubt him.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang has doubts about anyone, then his good days will come to an end.
Li Yunchang is not stupid, in this matter, he can't say anything to stand on Wang Ming's side.
Even if Zhang Mu is killed, Zhu Yuanzhang will personally send others to come.
Wang Ming has been exposed, it is a matter of time before the law is subdued, Li Yunchang smiled and said: "You little devil, it's okay." You say, what do you need me to do? ”
"I only ask for one thing, to find a way to save the lives of my brothers. You are the deputy chief soldier, how can Wang Ming give you a few thin noodles. You don't have to worry about the rest. Zhang Mu said.
Li Yunchang hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is a bit troublesome, you have to wait for me to think about it." You're here tonight, and I'll take you out tomorrow night, when I'll arrange a safe place. ”
"Okay, then I'll leave everything to Master Li." Zhang Mu said with a smile.
"Well said, well said." Li Yunchang said thoughtfully.
