Chapter 82: Never Give Up
Xu Changqing is extremely arrogant, and he has torn off the mask of hypocrisy, revealing his original form.
Facing that smug smile, Shi Wei had the urge to stab him to death, but in this situation, he couldn't help this surnamed Xu.
He could only smile and said lightly: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, Xu Changqing, let's wait and see." ”
Xu Changqing glared at him with contempt, then turned to Pan You in the opposite cell, and asked again: "Pan Shibo, have you thought clearly about what I just asked?" ”
Pan You's eyes flashed with anger, and he resolutely said: "I, Pan You, am not a person who bows to a shameless person like you, you get out of here." ”
Xu Changqing's expression changed immediately, and he said viciously: "Pan You, don't toast and don't eat and drink, if you don't write this marriage contract, aren't you afraid that I will kill your two children." ”
Pan You sneered and said disdainfully: "My Pan You's sons and daughters are not the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you really lose your conscience, you can do whatever you want." ”
Xu Changqing was rejected so abjectorily and sarcastically by Pan You, and his face was so angry that his face turned red.
He pointed to Pan You's nose and said, "The surname is Pan, this is what you said, then don't blame me for not remembering the old love and being ruthless." ”
With that, he dropped the threat and walked away.
When the surname Xu left, Pan You couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I didn't expect Xu Changqing to have such a surname, but I still had the heart to match Shisu to him, but when I think about it, I was really blind at that time." ”
Shi Wei on the other side of the cell had calmed down and said with relief: "Master Pan, don't blame yourself anymore, as the so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, it's not too late for you to see him clearly." ”
"It's late, it's late!
Pan You's self-reproach continued unabated, and he repented: "I can't imagine that Your Majesty would connive at such a person to do whatever he wants, if I knew this, why should I be loyal again and again, to try to save such a hopeless country, alas......"
Pan Xuan's sigh was full of remorse.
At this time, this prisoner of the rank no longer had the original will to die generously, it seems that he has seen through it and found that it is really worthless to die for a monarch like Li Yu.
Seeing that Pan You didn't want to die again, Shi Wei wanted all kinds of bad luck to pass, and finally encountered a reluctant good thing.
He smiled happily: "Master Pan, you can be enlightened, and you will not suffer this prison in vain, don't be too discouraged, the so-called endless road, we still have a chance." ”
Pan You raised his gloomy face and looked at the confident young man opposite, he really couldn't understand why this young man was so calm and calm at such a point.
He shook his head again and sighed: "The matter has come to this, you and I have been imprisoned, life and death are only between the line, where is there any room for redemption." ”
"Master Pan, we must not give up until the last moment."
Shi Wei's belief is as resolute as iron, and his self-confidence comes from all the extraordinary things he has experienced.
He is convinced that he can escape from the death row of Dangtu, and now this prison disaster can be regarded as nothing.
As long as the head has not landed, he will never give up hope.
Shi Wei's words of encouragement did not infect Pan You, and in the face of such a predicament, he had obviously given up hope.
On the same day, since Xu Changqing left, Pan You was silent, eating, sleeping, sleeping, and eating, as if waiting for the moment when the emperor ordered to kill his head.
As for Shi Wei, although he is full of confidence on the surface, he is also very empty in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he was trapped in prison for half a month.
He had no way of knowing what the situation was in the court, whether the teachers and sisters were well, and whether Pan Zisu was safe or not.
This cold and damp prison seemed to be isolated from the world, and Shi Wei couldn't do anything except face the depressed Pan You all day.
Gradually, his faith began to be worn away from him.
"Could it be that I'm really desperate this time?"
That night, Shi Wei leaned against the wall, and I don't know how many times he asked himself this.
At this time, with a creaking sound, the cell door suddenly opened.
In addition to the prison guards and several royal forest sergeants, there was another official, the king of the Ministry of Rites.
The king walked into the prison and asked in a loud voice: "Doctor Shi, the lower official is on the order of His Majesty, and I have come to ask you, you have a good time thinking about it in this prison." ”
Regarding the sudden appearance of this Wang Shilang, Shi Wei felt quite puzzled.
It stands to reason that he is in prison, even if someone asks, he should be a person from the Criminal Department, not a waiter from the Ministry of Rites who can't be beaten.
"Shi didn't know what crime he had committed, so he didn't know what to think about." Shi Wei responded with a positive color.
He was worried that the coming of this surnamed Wang was a conspiracy of the Xu family, in order to deceive himself into confessing, and when the time came, the evidence was ironclad, and he would not be able to wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Seeing Shi Wei's solemn expression, the Wang Shilang was not angry, but showed a little smile, and said, "Doctor Shi, don't be angry, let's talk in another place." ”
After that, he ordered Shi Wei to be unlocked and released.
Shi Wei was escorted out of the prison, neither entered the palace nor went to the criminal department, but was taken to the palace of the king's squire.
After entering the palace, Wang Shilang sent him to another courtyard, sent a few maids to serve him to bathe and change clothes, and then set up a table of wine and food, and entertained him warmly.
This special treatment really surprised Shi Wei, although his heart was full of suspicions, but because he had suffered for many days in the prison, the surname Suo didn't ask much, and he accepted it calmly first.
I took a bath, I changed my clothes, and I was half-full with this wine and food.
The Wang Shilang smiled and said, "Doctor Shi, the lower officials treat you so kindly, aren't you curious and want to ask why?" ”
Shi Wei drank a glass of wine and asked casually: "Then you can tell me, why?" ”
Wang Shilang coughed lightly a few times, and screened all the maids on the left and right, and then said in a low voice: "The kindness that Brother Shi has received is actually all specially taken care of by His Majesty, Brother Shi, you should thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”
Shi Wei's heart shook slightly.
Why did Li Yu do this?
Didn't this stubborn Southern Tang lord put himself in prison because he suspected that he was having an affair with Xiao Zhouhou?
But why did he treat himself like this?
If he changed his mind and decided to let go of his words, he would only need one sentence to get himself out of prison, so why would he order this surnamed Wang to make such a play.
Unless......
Shi Wei suddenly thought of something, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, he wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Wang Shilang, you don't have to beat around the bush, just say it directly, Your Majesty has asked you to do so many things for me, what is it?" ”
The Wang Shilang was stunned, and his face couldn't help but show a little embarrassment, so he sneered and said: "That's the case, a few days ago, the envoys of the Song Dynasty came to Jinling, but they happened to be infected with a strange disease, and all the imperial doctors had nothing to do, so Your Majesty wants to order you to go to the Song Dynasty envoy for a consultation." ”
