In terms of age, Bai Zhihan is naturally the biggest, but Bai Zhihan thought about it, but said, "Let Lan'er accompany the master." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ...... when the time comes, maybe it will be useful. ”

Zuo Shaoyang immediately understood, Bai Zhihan had already guessed Princess Yongjia's arrangement, although Miao Peilan could only make two desperate moves, but it could often work wonders when it was critical. Having her by your side will definitely work better than others.

However, Princess Yongjia has already said that she will not do it until the second repetition emperor still approves the death penalty, so it may be better to replace Miao Peilan with Miao Peilan at that time, otherwise, she is a few months pregnant, and it is not good to move inconveniently. Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang said: "That's it, let's take turns, anyway, we can change it, once a month, first Qiao'er, then Zhi'er, then Xiaomei, and finally Peilan." ”

Zuo Shaoyang arranged Miao Peilan at the end, thinking that it was almost time for the second recital.

When the four girls heard this, they all nodded together.

After finishing speaking, the four girls got out of bed, helped Zuo Shaoyang dress, and then hurriedly put on their dresses, followed out, and came to the front hall.

Under the lobby, it was already full of officers and soldiers, and the leader was naturally Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Liang and Fennel were already crying like tearful people, and Zuo Gui's father was silent and had a dark face on the side. When they saw Zuo Shaoyang coming out, they all gathered around, wanting to say a few words, but they couldn't say anything.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Dad, mother, don't worry, I'm fine, we will be reunited sooner or later!" After that, he walked up to Liu Zhenghui, stretched out his hands, and said deliberately: "Wear shackles, right?" ”

Liu Zhenghui was a little embarrassed, his lips were still swollen like sausages, and said: "Count you lucky, the emperor has a decree and will not give you any torture tools." Go on your own, be honest, don't try to run away. ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "In the emperor's holy decree, didn't it say that I could bring anything?" ”

Liu Zhenghui said with a cold face: "Since you know everything, and you still ask what to do, naturally you can bring anything, except for the murder weapon." - By the way, you can also bring a wife and concubine to accompany you, the emperor's grace is mighty, you should burn high incense for your ancestral tomb! ”

"Then please go out, I'll pack it up, and I'll call you naturally."

Liu Zhenghui snorted, waved his hand, and withdrew from the courtyard with the fast soldier armor.

Zuo Shaoyang told his parents about his own arrangement, although Zuo Gui's father and wife were hurt, they were better than ordinary death row prisoners, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

While crying, Liang and the four daughters helped Zuo Shaoyang and Qiao Qiaoer clean up, packed all the clothes into boxes, and Zuo Shaoyang brought all the books he needed in the study, as well as the four treasures of the study. When I saw the box of "Analects" that I got from Du Yan's house, my heart moved, and I could take this opportunity to study it carefully, and where Du Yan's treasure map was hidden, I also put it in the bookcase.

I have brought some pills and common medicines that I have prepared, as well as a medical kit, so I may be able to use them.

When sorting out the experience of several old miracle doctors, Zuo Shaoyang called his father Zuo Gui in, closed the door, handed him the books, and said in a low voice: "Father, these books are the essence of the lifelong medical skills of my senior brother Sun Simiao, the old divine doctor Xu Yinzong, the Zhen brothers and other old divine doctors, give them to you." ”

Zuo Gui was surprised and delighted, took it, turned a few pages, and trembled when he held it in his hand: "Zhong'er, how did you get this treasure?" ”

"Dad, you don't have to worry about that. You just don't let others see it, just see it yourself. ”

"Rest assured. Daddy knows what's at stake! Such a treasure, how can Dad let others see it! Zuo Gui's thin hands trembled with excitement. After looking at it for a while, he reluctantly put it into his arms. He also reached out and pressed it.

It took an hour to finally clean it up, and during this time, Liu Zhenghui came in several times to urge.

After putting it away, a soldier came over and loaded the boxes into the carriage, and the Liang family also stuffed Zuo Shaoyang with a small box of broken silver, so that he could use it to beat the jailers, Zuo Shaoyang pushed it back with a smile, and said: "Mother, Princess Yongjia can let me live this kind of life on death row, how can anyone bully me?" So, there is no need to dot up, what should be done, Princess Yongjia has done it. Feel relieved! You don't need money in prison. ”

After saying goodbye to the tearful Sang Xiaomei, she walked down the steps, came to the door, turned around and waved to her parents, wives and concubines, and walked out of the door.

There was a carriage parked at the door, Zuo Shaoyang and Qiao Qiao'er got into the carport, surrounded by a group of soldiers and armor, and drove to the death row located behind the imperial city.

Death row is a place dedicated to death row prisoners, who have been convicted of a capital offense or are likely to be sentenced to death. This is the strongest of all the prisons in Datang, with three layers of walls made of bluestone bars several feet high! The entire floor is paved with bluestone strips several feet thick. There is a special capital Yulin Army responsible for guarding.

The cell leader's surname is Zhuang, and he has been waiting at the door for a long time, and he has accompanied him to death row. Liu Zhenghui said triumphantly behind him: "Lord Zuo, stay in it slowly, there will be more than half a year until next autumn, and then it will be the time for you to hit the road." ”

Zuo Shaoyang ignored him, took Qiao Qiaoer's hand, stepped into the death row, followed the head of Zhuang Cell through the three gates, and arrived at the innermost detention area, here, it is divided into three parts, one part is the unconvicted criminal, and the other part is the convicted criminal, that is, the one has been convicted, including the one and two repetitions, but there are no three repetitions, because the three recitals are the last repetitions before the autumn queen's beheading, if the emperor still approves the death penalty, it will be pushed to the court for execution within three days of receiving the approved holy decree.

The interval between the three recitals is three months, and if the last recital happens to be just past autumn and is not suitable for execution, the third recital will be postponed until the following autumn. In this way, the condemned prisoner will be able to live longer. Of course, those who are ordered to be beheaded are not subject to the restriction of beheading, and as long as they are approved, they will be executed immediately, and this punishment is limited to felony crimes.

Neither part of Zuo Shaoyang's prison is there, but in the third area, a separate row of small courtyards next to the two detention compounds. This third area is for Qin criminals, such as the prince who committed a crime, the important ministers of the court, etc., and the conditions in it are very good, almost the same as in their own homes, everything is available.

This yard is not big, similar to the front yard of the Zuo family, the gate is locked, and there is a special guard at the door.

Zhuang Cell Boss kept sending Zuo Shaoyang and his wife to the small courtyard, asked the jailer to help unload all the things and put them in the yard, and called the two janitors who were in charge of his yard guard over to meet, and told them to take good care of Young Master Zuo and his wife, otherwise the princess would not spare them.

The people who live in the house arrest courtyard are all big people that the guards can't provoke, who knows if these people will turn over, so the guards arranged here are all well-behaved guards who are very good at doing things, and the work of slapping horses is first-class, and the people outside have already given enough benefits, and if they need anything, as long as it is not contraband such as weapons, they can get it in, even if they want to listen to the Qinglou woman sing a little song to stay together, they can do it. Naturally, entry and exit are subject to strict checking.

Zuo Shaoyang naturally didn't want this, he just wanted to calm down during this time and reflect on why he got into prison.

In addition to the bedroom, there is a study, a kitchen, a utility room, and a latrine, but there is no living room, because there is no reception in it. In addition, there is a large yard with some flowers that have withered and withered in early winter, and a field of grass.

He helped Qiao Qiao'er put all the things in the box, and then sat on the chaise longue under the porch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Qiao Qiaoer took a stool and sat down beside him, holding his hand, putting her face on his arm, and snuggling up to him.

At this moment, Zuo Shaoyang felt that Qiao Qiao'er was so helpless, if he really died, how sad it would be to leave her alone.

I don't know if Princess Yongjia can persuade his royal brother Li Shimin to pardon his capital crime in these months, and if not, I don't know if Princess Yongjia's arrangement can allow her to escape.

He felt the irrepressible helplessness of life hanging in the air, and the horror of death was not so strong, after all, there was still hope for life.

At this time, he didn't want to destroy himself, he wanted to make Yuzi happy, even if everything was really unavoidable in the future, and let the last life be wonderful, he would not regret it.

So, he patted Qiao Qiao'er's hand and said, "Come, let's renovate this land, plant cabbage, grow it ourselves, and eat it ourselves, how good!" ”

Qiao Qiaoer didn't want to cry all day long to worry Xianggong, so she smiled and nodded.

There were hoes and other farm tools in the utility room, and the two of them began to turn the ground, and they were busy until dark, when they turned over all the ground in the yard and hoeed all the weeds.

Qiao Qiaoer didn't know how to cook, so Zuo Shaoyang was busy with him, cooking a pot of burnt rice, and the fried vegetables were either heavy in salt or tasteless, but the two of them ate very happily.

At night, the two naturally wanted to do the things of husband and wife, Zuo Shaoyang taught Qiao Qiao'er the middle room technique, and the two carried out double cultivation. Although he was in a prison cell, he was also happy.

The next day, Zuo Shaoyang asked the janitor in charge of the guard to help him buy a cage of chicks and come back and raise them to play.

The jailer bought the chicken back and whispered to Zuo Shaoyang: "Lord Zuo, I heard that Lord Du's wife died last night!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback: "Dead? ”

"Yes, her illness was already very serious, and after Prime Minister Du died, she became even heavier, and she stayed up until last night and died."

Zuo Shaoyang's heart was gloomy, the last time he diagnosed Mrs. Du, he found that her tuberculosis had reached an advanced critical condition, and there was only two percent hope that it could be cured.

Zuo Shaoyang asked, "What about Zuo Gongzi?" ”

"I haven't heard of that."

Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted the jailer to ask, but after thinking about it, people knew where they were, and they really wanted to let themselves be treated, and they would find them, they were not in a hurry, so why did they have to put their hot faces on other people's cold butts? The surname Suo opened up.

After that, during the day, Qiao Qiaoer farmed, fed chickens, and became a female celebrity, and Zuo Shaoyang continued to practice Professor Sun Simiao's "Returning to Void and Spitting Skills" every morning, and then practiced Taoism, as well as Professor Xiao Yunfei's set of swordsmanship.

The rest of the time, he would sit under the porch and read, practice calligraphy, or hoe the grass in the field with her. When it rains, I put a table of side dishes, a pot of wine warm, sit under the porch to watch the rain, chant poems, and sing songs with chopsticks.

More than half a month has passed.

On this day, the gate of the courtyard opened, and the head of Zhuang Cell came in with Liu Zhenghui, followed by the Ouchi guards.

Liu Zhenghui stood on the stage, coughing lightly from time to time, but he was still shy with his already shriveled stomach, holding a golden scroll in his hand, and said in a dumb voice: "Zuo Shaoyang, kneel down and listen to the order!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked carefully, and saw that his face was flushed and his cheeks were thin, so he knew that this old boy had been "tricked", and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't kneel, pulled Qiao Qiaoer into the house, took out the mask from the outpatient box, and brought it to the two of them. told Qiao Qiao'er not to come out, and then went out of the door, drove the chickens into the chicken pen, and then came back and knelt down.

Liu Zhenghui was very displeased, and saw Zuo Shaoyang wearing a wide and thick mask on his face, and asked in amazement: "What are you doing here?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang ignored it.

Liu Zhenghui coughed a few times, unfolded the golden holy decree, and said in a dumb voice: "Zuo Zhong Shaoyang, a native of Hezhou, and an official to Chaosan doctor, knew that the patient was afraid of the birthplace into the medicine, but still used this filthy medicine into the medicine, and deceived the medicine for the patient, causing the patient to be unwilling to be humiliated, hanging the beam to commit suicide, the crime is unforgivable, according to the law, the criminal department will be played for capital crimes, and dismissed, after the Dali Temple reviewed and seconded, I approved. Chin this! ”

Zuo Shaoyang had already expected this result, but after hearing it, his head was still confused, his body was a little weak, and he held on without saying anything.

Liu Zhenghui said coldly: "Zuo Shaoyang, aren't you still grateful?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang knelt up, pointed at Liu Zhenghui and said angrily: "You don't even ask me, and make a verdict without listening to my defense, it's too domineering, right?" ”

"Justification? The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, what else is there to justify? ”

"Even if I can't defend myself, you should ask, right? What's more, I have something to say, I was wronged by Du Jing's bastard in this matter! What about Du Yan's housekeeper? The will he conveyed to me when he came to Quzhou at that time, by the way, when he said this, the Quzhou Thorn Shi was also there, and he should have heard it! There are still a lot of people present, and they have heard it, so why don't you investigate? But just by his words of respect, he condemned me to death! I'm not convinced! ”

"Not convinced? The autumn queen asked, you go to the Lord of Yama and cry again! Hahaha" Liu Zhenghui looked up to the sky and laughed proudly. But no sooner had the laughter begun than it was interrupted by a violent cough.

Liu Zhenghui finally held back his cough, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Also, the emperor has issued an order to let Ma Zhou take over your foundation and barefoot medical hall, and your official position has been removed, what else do you ...... cough cough cough ......"

As soon as he said this, there was another uncontrollable violent cough, so that Liu Zhenghui couldn't continue the following words at all, and even in the cough, he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, spit out the things in his mouth, and put it in front of his eyes, and a mouthful of thick phlegm was red!
