Chapter 256: Hidden Inside
The participants in the discussion are all high-ranking officials above the fifth grade of the imperial court, although Xiao Jiading is the deacon of Dali Temple Qing Yuanshao, but he cannot listen to the discussion.
He only learned afterwards that this discussion was almost a collapsed situation, and Tang Lin and a few others only said that it was best not to be executed, but the power of the eldest grandson Wuji was too strong, and the court condemned and even scolded the king of Shu endlessly, and urged him to die.
Later, the emperor also emphasized, almost with a pleading, begging the eldest grandson Wuji to spare his brother Li Ke and save him from death. However, the ruthless uncle was indifferent.
In the end, the original verdict was upheld. He was sentenced three days later. Li Ke, the king of Shu, and his wife died. The executioner was Yuan Shao, the Qing of Dali Temple. This is naturally the arrangement of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so he lets his cronies personally supervise it.
When Xiao Jiading heard the news, he sat there in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
Ya Niang knew that he was in a bad mood, and she didn't dare to disturb. Just sit quietly beside him, doing female red.
After a long time, Xiao Jiading sighed: "Alas, ......! ”
Yaniang hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Lang, is it for the sake of Lord Shu?" ”
Xiao Jiading nodded heavily: "Yes, the husband and wife of the King of Shu treat me with deep affection, especially Princess Yang, she is like my own sister, but I can't save them." The day after tomorrow is their time of death. I ......, but I can only watch, there is nothing I can do. ”
Thinking of Princess Yang's kindness to herself, Xiao Jiading's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Seeing him so sad, Ya Niang couldn't help feeling distressed, put down Nuhong, snuggled in his arms, and said softly: "This is the will of heaven, it is impossible for people to change the will of heaven." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Jiading couldn't help but feel a shock all over his body, - change the will of heaven? That's right. Why didn't you think of this trick yourself?
Yaniang looked up a little differently, and saw that Xiao Jiading's face was already full of excitement, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Jiading held her pretty face, kissed her deeply, and said with a smile: "My Yaniang is so smart!" ”
"Smart ......?" Ya Niang didn't know where this brainless sentence came from. But it is best to make the lover happy.
The next morning, after Xiao Jiading got up, he asked the kitchen to make a big bowl of lotus seed soup and send it, and he was going to break a fairy fruit and mix it in the lotus seed soup and put it in a food box to visit the prison. Give it to Princess Yang.
This immortal fruit can change fate, this is what the Heavenly Wing Dao Master said, I hope he is telling the truth. Although the King of Shu was also very good to Xiao Jiading, it was not so good that Xiao Jiading wanted to use the immortal fruit to save his life, so he only planned to save Princess Yang alone. He only brought a fairy fruit.
According to the regulations, the execution will be carried out the next day, and before that, the death row inmate must be asked if he has a suicide note or something. Because the supervisor is Yuan Shao, and Xiao Jiading is Yuan Shao's deacon, so it is natural that this work will be handed over to him. It's a good time to take this opportunity to go in.
When the lotus seed soup was not ready, suddenly the porter came to report. said that an old lady came to visit and said that she once gave a flying mink to Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading didn't have much impression of the old lady, but when it came to sables. immediately thought of Senior Sister Leng Xue. Could it be her? Isn't she a beautiful woman with a remarkable demeanor? How did you become an old woman?
Broken! Her skills are exhausted, the child's skills that kept her youth have failed, and she has returned to her true age!
Eighty-three years old! Oh, my God.
Xiao Jiading hurriedly rushed out. Stepping on the snow all the way, I came to the gate of the front hall, and sure enough, I saw an old woman with white hair, standing trembling in the snow, looking at him sadly.
Xiao Jiading rushed up, looked up and down, and asked, "Are you a senior sister......?" ”
The old woman spread out her hand, and in the palm of her hand was Leng Xue's unique weapon, the Nine-Ring Flying Dragon!
"Senior sister!" Xiao Jiading hurriedly held her arm, "You, why did you become like this?" ”
Leng Xue shook her head sadly: "My strength has been exhausted, so I am naturally like this." I don't have a few days to live, but I don't want to die alone in the wilderness, I have no other relatives, except you, I ......, can I die by your side? ”
Xiao Jiading heard her desolate, and his heart was sideways, so he nodded vigorously: "Senior sister, I'll help you in." ”
Ya Niang and a few maids also ran out, and when they saw this, they also stepped forward to help. Helping her back to the living room, Xiao Jiading said to Ya Niang: "This is ......, it's my sister, you call your sister." ”
He didn't dare to say anything about Senior Sister, because Long Jiuxiao had always suspected that he had something to do with Leng Xue, and he didn't want to make any extraneous complications at this time.
Ya Niang was a little stunned, this old woman looked at least eighty years old, how could she become the young sister of the lover in her twenties? I didn't want to ask too much, so I was busy laughing and said, "Sister!" ”
Leng Xue nodded and said to Xiao Jiading: "You can arrange a secluded room for me, don't worry about me otherwise." I don't want to give you trouble either. ”
"How so?" Xiao Jiading was relieved, "When you get here, you are home, so let's live in this courtyard with us, just next door to us, so that you can also take care of it." ”
Leng Xue's eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and she nodded slowly.
Ya Niang and the maid hurriedly cleaned up the room for her, and helped her into the house to lie down. Leng Xue lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and there was still the invisible-killing demeanor at the beginning.
Looking at her, Xiao Jiading remembered her terrifying martial arts, and wondered if she could rob the prison and rescue the husband and wife of the King of Shu? If you can, you might as well use a fairy fruit for her to eat, let her save people, and you can kill two birds with one stone. The key to this depends on how well the dungeon is defended. He decided to take a closer look at it later.
Xiao Jiading sat beside her bed for a while, Leng Xue always closed his eyes and slept peacefully, then he got up, told Ya Niang to take care of her, and then went out and returned to the study.
The kitchen has already brought the lotus seed soup. Xiao Jiading took out a fairy fruit, broke it and mixed it in lotus seed soup, packed it in a food box, and filled it with some dishes and wine, and then went out by car and came to the prison.
The prison was a place where heavy food was held, and it was heavily guarded by thousands of Imperial Forest soldiers.
When he arrived at the door, Xiao Jiading didn't have to show his waist card at all, because he had been here, and when he was arraigned last time, he followed Yuan Shao of Dali Temple, and the guards knew that he was Yuan Shao's deacon, and this deaconist was different from others, he was personally promoted by Prime Minister Wuji, the eldest grandson, so he was very respectful.
They knew that Xiao Jiading was the last interrogator of the death row prisoner on behalf of Yuan Shaolai, the Qing of Dali Temple, and that he would be executed tomorrow, so they wanted to ask them if they had a suicide note or something. This is what Dali Siqing's clothes usually do, so he didn't check it in detail, but when he saw Xiao Jiading carrying a food box, he laughed and said that this needs to be checked.
Xiao Jiading opened it very generously, and the guards saw that there was only food inside, and they didn't check it carefully, so they let it go.
Xiao Jiading carried the food box and walked all the way inside.
The last time he came, he didn't carefully observe the situation in the prison, this time, he carefully inspected all the way to see if there was a possibility of robbing the prison, and in the end he was disappointed. The defense of the heavenly prison was far more rigorous than he had imagined. Fang Yiai and the others were beheaded and wanted to be sent to the court for execution, but they were not the target of Xiao Jiading's rescue, and the husband and wife of the King of Shu that Xiao Jiading wanted to rescue were given to death, and they were carried out in the prison and were not transferred to the law field. Therefore, if you want to break into this prison and rob the prison, let alone one cold snow, it is ten, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to see.
It seems that only by counting on this immortal fruit in his hand can Princess Yang escape from death.
The death row prisoners in the prison are all on the third floor underground, all the death row prisoners are held alone, each floor is very tightly guarded, and they must be carefully checked, although they all know Xiao Jiading, but they are not relaxed, and after explaining with a smiling face, they still conducted a body search, and naturally they couldn't find anything.
They also opened the food box and looked at it, and the chief guard at the last door still smiled at Xiao Jiading and said: "Brother Xiao, according to the rules, anyone who sends food in must taste it himself, otherwise, hehe, the brothers are not easy to explain." ”
Xiao Jiading smiled: "Yes, although this is the food sent by Yuanda, it also needs to be checked, so I will taste it myself." With that, he tasted the contents of the food box one by one.
The captain of the guard hurriedly nodded and confessed, and then let Xiao Jiading in.
Xiao Jiading entered the dungeon, the dungeon was brightly lit, as bright as day, and three guards with knives followed in, it was impossible to make any small moves. Fortunately, Xiao Jiading didn't want to make any other small moves at all.
The last time Xiao Jiading followed Yuan Shao to interrogate, he had seen the King of Shu and his wife, but there were many of them at that time, and they couldn't speak at all, they just looked at each other from a distance. At this moment, only Xiao Jiading, the king of Shu and his wife were all happy, got up and walked over.
Li Kegui is the prince, although he is already a prisoner, but the treatment is still very good, the cell where he lives is very spacious, and the furnishings are very luxurious. In addition, in order to prevent the two from committing suicide, three sturdy maids were arranged to serve them inside, and at the same time to monitor them.
The guards opened the cell door, Xiao Jiading went in with the food box, and after putting it down, he bowed down and saluted: "Meet the prince and princess!" ”
The King of Shu smiled miserably: "Am I still a prince like this?" That's it, you don't have to be polite, you can come to see me, and it is not in vain that I valued you in the first place. ”
Princess Yang had tears in her eyes and said, "Xiao Lang, are you here to ask for a suicide note?" No need, when we were under house arrest, we already knew that we would be today, so the suicide note that should have been written has been written and left to our families. There is nothing to say in this. ”
Xiao Jiading nodded and said, "I don't have anything to honor the prince and the princess, I made a little food, it tastes good, and I specially sent it." Please smile at the prince and princess. ”
But there are not many death row prisoners who can still eat before they die, especially a pampered person like the King of Shu, who is even more sad, where there is any appetite, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas are not interested. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Thank you, put it here." ”
With that, he walked back to the soft collapse, leaned over and lay on it, closing his eyes and saying nothing. (To be continued......)
