Outside, there were strong winds and waves, and you were fighting to the death, but Yang Jisheng, the central figure of the incident, was unusually calm, he stayed calmly in his cell, waiting for the impending storm.

Everything is ready, just one death!

In the corridor, Yan Maoqing saw that Chen Hong fell to Xia Mu's side, and his heart became more and more uneasy, because the person Yan Dang was most afraid of was not Jinyiwei, but Dongchang.

Since Chen Hong got the factory seal, all the top and bottom of the East Factory have been replaced by his cronies, everything has to be done according to his eyes, outsiders can't insert needles, and water can't splash in. Even when Yan Song's holy family was in his prime, his words and deeds were firmly in the hands of Dongchang.

is now Chen Hong's sudden defection, which is bound to make the current situation in the court change again.

"It's here, uncle!" Chen Hong walked to the door of the dark prison, let people remove the shackles on it, and smiled at Xia Mu, but saw Xia Mu looking at Yan Maoqing behind him, Chen Hong couldn't help but nodded, turned to look at Yan Maoqing who seemed to be thinking on the side, and said coldly, "Lord Yan, let's ask!" ”

Yan Maoqing was interrupted by Chen Hong's words, came back to his senses, looked at the cell where he couldn't see the reality in the dark, and smiled at Chen Hong: "I'm tired of the admiral and take the lamp." ”

Chen Hong looked at the jailer on the side and gestured. The jailer hurriedly ordered the butter lamps around him to be lit.

Xia Mu looked at the light, but his face was gloomy, only to see that in the damp and foul-smelling cell, Yang Jisheng's skin was open and the flesh was open, and it was miserable, the leg bones that had been discounted by the court staff, the leg flesh had been knocked off, and the flesh was blurred, and because the cell was dirty and cold, flies and insects breeded, and the wound began to deteriorate and become infected.

I only saw that Yang Jisheng's wound was deteriorating with pus and blood, and maggots were rolling inside.

"Brother Jiaoshan!" Xia Mu shouted softly, his eyes moistened.

Yang Jisheng, who fainted in pain, slowly woke up when he heard the words, looked at Xia Mu who was looking through the light, and saw that he was fine, his heart was relieved, and he laughed miserably: "Fortunately, you are okay in the light, so I am relieved!" ”

Xia Mu had a sour nose, glanced at Chen Hong coldly, and said angrily: "Why don't you heal!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong trembled, and glanced at Yan Maoqing vaguely, the meaning could not be clearer, it was obviously Yan Song's meaning.

Xia Mu was furious, glared at Yan Maoqing fiercely, and had to say coldly: "Yan Maoqing, if you have any, just ask, don't delay the time when Ben Bo will see Jiaoshan!" ”

"Uncle, it's not a wise choice to go against the elder of the pavilion!" Yan Maoqing sneered, not caring about Xia Muman.

"Oh!" Xia Mu put away his anger, he looked smiling on the surface, but his eyes were cold, he slowly approached Yan Maoqing, approached his ear and whispered, "When I have no power and no power, I can let Zhao Wenhua die in the southeast, and now I am powerful, do you think that if I kill you, Yan Song will avenge you?" ”

Zhao ...... Zhao ...... Zhao Wenhua was ...... by you" Yan Maoqing heard the news, and couldn't hold back the fear in his heart anymore, Zhao Wenhua, who was in power for a while, actually died in his hands, and he was afraid in his heart, and he no longer dared to look at Xia Mu, so he hurriedly lowered his head and asked Yang Jisheng: "Yang Jisheng, the criminal minister, you went to the book to invade the palace, but it was instructed by King Yu behind your back!" ”

When Yang Jisheng heard this, he glanced at Yan Maoqing coldly, although he was upright, he was not stupid, and immediately realized the huge risk hidden in the question, but he replied loudly: "In addition to the second king, is there anyone in the court who is not afraid of Yan Song?!" ”

Xia Mu, who heard the answer, breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that the crisis was far from over, because Yan Shifan had never been a generous-minded person, and he never expected Yang Jisheng to be hot-headed and take the initiative to cooperate with him to frame King Yu.

In fact, the plan of the Yan family father and son has just begun. The Yan Party in the DPRK is huge, and it seems a little difficult to get rid of Yang Jisheng and pull King Yu into the water, but it is very simple to kill Yang Jisheng!

Yan Maoqing saw Yang Jisheng's answer at this moment, he didn't dare to stay here anymore, and hurriedly walked towards the exit.

Seeing Yan Maoqing leaving, Xia Mu turned to Chen Hong and said, "Why don't you go find the imperial doctor yet!" ”

"No...... No need, in the light! Yang Jisheng rejected Xia Mu loudly, "I'm a minister who treats crimes, how can I see a doctor in prison, and you hold the lamp for me in the light of labor!" ”

Xia Mu didn't understand what Yang Jisheng meant, but he still took the lantern in the hands of a factory fan and illuminated it for Yang Jisheng.

I saw Yang Jisheng take advantage of the glimmer to look at his stump legs and minced meat, but he didn't shout loudly, but said: "It's too dark here, you come in in the light to help me borrow light." ”

When Xia Mu heard this, he hurriedly carried a lamp and walked into Yang Jisheng's cell.

At the moment when the light spilled into the dark corner, Xia Mu saw a scene that made his soul fly away and he would never forget it.

I saw Yang Jisheng sitting there very quietly, with his head down, holding a broken bowl in his hand, concentrating on scraping the meat on his leg piece by piece, which was already infected and rotten, but the pain in it was ......

But Yang Jisheng didn't shout, just with a calm expression, he kept scraping the carrion, the bowl was not sharp, and the carrion was not easy to cut, which was an unbearable severe pain, but Yang Jisheng didn't make a sound.

In the middle of the night, the monotonous sound of friction echoed in the cell, telling of this incomparable bravery and strength in the silence.

Yang Jisheng just scraped off the carrion raw, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, and he began to cut off the fascia attached to the bones.

"Brother Jiaoshan!" Xia Mu couldn't help crying, "Brother Jiaoshan, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"In the light!" Yang Jisheng scraped the bones and flesh, and said calmly, "In this life, there are many choices, we don't choose, we have to do it, from the moment we put on the official clothes of the Ming Dynasty, you should understand that our lives are no longer for ourselves to live, what we bear on our shoulders is the 200-year-old foundation of our ancestors, and it is the livelihood of trillions of Chinese people." Die for the country, Jiaoshan will live forever without regrets! ”

Chen Hong looked at the scene in front of him coldly, but his heart was about to collapse, he wanted to escape, but his legs were firmly nailed in place, unable to move. He had seen countless prisoners who had been tortured to the extreme, and heard countless miserable and terrifying wails, but in this calm night, facing Yang Jisheng, he really felt the fear and shock that went deep into his bone marrow.

Xia Mu cried silently, he finally knew why Yang Jisheng was famous in history and immortal.

Because of his perseverance, his stubbornness, his integrity.

Because Yang Jisheng is running to die. He was not bribed by Yan Song, did not listen to the advice of his friends, and knew that there was no hope of victory, but he still bet everything he had, and impeached Yan Song for capital crimes, because his purpose was very clear: he only wanted to die to express his anger with death, and to wake up the cowardly people with death, just like the swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang Jisheng used his life to forge the sword that killed the evil spirit.

"Brother Jiaoshan, leave your unfinished business to me!" Xia Mu silently lowered his head and sighed, "But Brother Jiaoshan, have you ever regretted it?" ”

"Do you regret it?" Yang Jisheng smiled brightly, and looked at Xia Mu with clear eyes, "In the light, I will teach you one last thing before I die-don't look back on the Huangquan Road, and weep in the Lechuan River!" No matter how difficult the path we choose, even if we hit our heads and bleed, even if we kneel! We must also continue this path. ”

"You can go with confidence, Ying Qian I will train him to become a talent, with my Xia Mu to eat, I will definitely not starve their mother and son!"

"For you, brother, what else do I have to worry about, hehe...... Ying Ying's child will be entrusted to you in the future, so that I can rest assured that I will go! Yang Jisheng seemed to be explaining what happened after his death, but he seemed very calm.

Xia Mu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he resolutely turned around and walked out of the cell, and Chen Hong hurriedly followed.

"Take care of him and let him finish the last leg of his life with peace of mind!" Xia Mu confessed to Chen Hong for a few words, and then walked towards Chang'an Avenue outside the East Factory in despair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the second day, heavy rain shrouded the 300-mile Gyeonggi on the north bank of the Yangtze River...... This is the longest and most violent rain since the beginning of autumn.

From July 11, it rained for three days and three nights.

Except for a few brief intervals, a torrential rain of rumbling thunder and hoho lightning swept through the sky and the earth in an almost frenzied manner.

During the day, the dark clouds were rubbed and torn by the strong southeast wind, and the pheasants clinging to the walls of the city rushed by. Under the sky, thousands of silver glittering rain arrows fly all day long, making the ancient city, which has been plagued by natural disasters ** and has become full of holes, filled with an ominous and strange killing atmosphere.

At night, the arrow-like raindrops disappeared for a while, but the lightning and thunder, and the sound of the wind and rain, which had become particularly distinct by the darkness and silence, often woke people from their sleep, and the suspicious army had come to the city unaware and was launching a fierce attack.

So they listened and listened with their ears full of fear, and could no longer sleep in peace......

Yan Maoqing replied to Lao Yan Song overnight, and Lao Yan Song was furious when he learned that Chen Hong had defected. Although he was scheming, he lost in the end.

Yan Shifan heard that Chen Hong had fallen to Xia Mu, and that night, he sent someone to call Yan Maoqing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, to the cabinet, and accused him of ineffective work in person, and asked him to lead the Ministry of Justice, and asked the emperor to hand over Yang Jisheng to the detention of the Three Law Divisions, and Ling Chi was executed.

Yan Maoqing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the official fold of the Criminal Department to the cabinet for the draft vote.

But Lao Yan Song understands that Zhu Xizhong can't count on it, but the bitter hatred and fear will not be eliminated, and Yang Jisheng must be killed!

At this time, the case has been transferred to the Criminal Department, and Wang Xueyi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Yan Maoqing are members of the Yan Party, Yan Song instructed them to solve Yang Jisheng as soon as possible, and secretly designated the crime: fraudulently transmitting the prince's decree, framing important ministers, and attacking the palace.

However, this fold was reported, but He Ao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not approve it, and Langzhong Shi Chaobin also made it clear that he would never implement it. Because both of them are friends of Yang Jisheng, they were touched by Yang Jisheng's righteousness.

Yan Song immediately became angry, immediately removed Shi Chaobin's official, and asked someone to tell He Ao that if he did not follow his will, He Ao's family would die without a burial.

With such a threat, He Ao finally compromised under the power of the Yan family's father and son.

On the second day, the Criminal Department submitted its opinion on the handling of the matter - the execution was carried out in accordance with the law. However, Yan Song never expected that the document he had worked so hard for would still not be executed, and he was helpless in the face of this time.

Because Xu Jie handed the excerpt into the palace and asked the emperor for a reprieve, the emperor re-approved the performance, so that Yang Jisheng's life was temporarily saved, but he would have to be imprisoned in the Dongchang prison all the time.
