Chapter 70: The Black Prison (11)

、、、、、、、

Wang Wenyan, born as a prison official, clever and chivalrous, and strategic, fled to Beijing to join Wang Anmen because of his self-theft in prison, and had a close relationship with Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong Donglin Party members. During the Taichang and Tianqi years, Wang Wenyan relied on Liu Yixian in the outer court, and relied on Wang An's support in the inner palace to liaise and communicate with the Donglin Party, and used the plan to separate the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

His eyes stayed on Wang Wenyan's face, and Yuan Dahai naturally thought of the relevant records of him in later generations, in fact, no matter how to describe this person, it is most appropriate to say that he is Wu Yongying of the Donglin Party. As for his career as a prison officer, to be precise, it is like a mold carved with the "Song Abbot". Maybe he may have read the book written by Shi Nai'an, and he is very yearning for the timely rain he wrote, Yuan Dahai thought.

"Who are you?"

Looking at these people he had never seen before, Wang Wenyan was a little strange, and looked at the hundred households in confusion.

The hundred households didn't dare to say a word to him, but only said to Yuan Dahai respectfully: "He is Wang Wenyan." ”

Yuan Dahai nodded, raised his hand and motioned to the hundred households: "Open the door." ”

Baihu answered, and took the key from one of the guards behind, but he was a little hesitant, and seeing this, Qian En stepped forward and gently leaned the knife on the back of his neck.

"Don't, don't, don't!"

After feeling the cold chill on his neck, the hundred households jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and hurriedly went to open the lock, Xu was too scared, his hands trembled a little, and even the copper lock made a trembling sound.

Seeing that the hundred households trembled like that when they opened the lock, Wang Wenyan's heart suddenly suddenly, he took a few steps back vigilantly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yuan Dahai, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

Yuan Dahai didn't answer him, but waited for the lock to open, and nodded at Qian En.

Suddenly, Qian En rushed into the cell with two fans, and dragged him out despite Wang Wenyan's struggle.

Wang Wenyan was frightened and roared loudly: "What are you going to do?!" ”

Yuan Dahai slowly raised his hand, signaled Wang Wenyan not to be so nervous, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't be afraid, we don't do anything, just change a more spacious cell for your lord." ”

"Where are you taking me?" Wang Wenyan had a bad premonition, and his heart was beating hard.

Staring at Wang Wenyan's eyes, Yuan Dahai chuckled: "Dongchang." ”

"East Factory?"

Wang Wenyan was taken aback, and immediately feared in his heart, why would the people from Dongchang come to prison, what about Liu Qiao?!

After settling down, he blurted out, "Did the emperor ask you Dongchang to pick me up?" ”

"It's not." Yuan Dahai shook his head.

Wang Wenyan was stunned, nodded, and said unexpectedly: "Then it seems that it is your governor Wei Zhongxian?" ”

"Not really." Yuan Dahai still shook his head slightly.

"Not Wei Zhongxian?"

Wang Wenyan was stunned there, not the emperor, not Wei Zhongxian, so who ordered these Dongchang fans to come to the prison to mention me?

Seeing the change in Wang Wenyan's face, Yuan Dahai put away his smile and said to him coldly: "You don't have to think about it, no one ordered us to mention you." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Wenyan was a little confused.

"It's boring." The corners of Yuan Dahai's mouth curled, and his face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Shut Lord Wang's mouth!" ”

"You guys? …”

Without saying a word, Wang Wenyan's throat was choked, and soon, his mouth was stuffed with a sackcloth. Hmm" protested. But no matter how much he struggled and protested, there was no way to take out the sackcloth that was stuffed in his mouth.

When the brocade guards on the side saw it, they didn't dare to squeak, and the hundred households looked uncertain, and they didn't know what they were thinking with their heads down.

"Take people out."

After instructing Qian En to take Wang Wenyan out immediately, Yuan Dahai turned around and asked the brocade-clothed hundred-hundred-hundred-household: "Where is Xiong Tingbi detained?" ”

"Xiong Tingbi?" The hundred households were stunned for a moment, and muttered: "He is a prisoner on death row, and he is imprisoned on the lower floor, what?" Do you want to take him away even in the East Factory? ”

After listening to Baihu's words, Yuan Dahai looked at him sideways: "I only ask you where Xiong Tingbi is imprisoned." ”

When the hundred households saw Yuan Dahai's face, a spirit, they didn't dare to say a word more, so they stumbled and took them to Xiong Tingbi.

"Murder and arson, beating homes and robbing houses are evil thieves, and endangering the common people and harming the country and the people are heroes, anyway, this is the case, it is better to let me be both good and evil."

"Evil cannot prevail over good!"

"If good is not compared to evil, how can we talk about suppressing evil? Lord Xiong, I advise you to look away, living is not an easy task, and it may not be a good thing. Dying, it may seem difficult, but it's also easy to do. ”

"I don't want to die."

"Whether you die or not, it's not up to me to decide, if Providence wants you to die, do you want to go against the sky?"

"I don't give a damn!"

"Then the millions of Ming people in Liaodong deserve to die?"

A large living man was trapped in a prison that did not see the light of day for four years, and within four years, except for the footsteps of the jailers outside the iron gate every day, he could no longer hear any sound in this world, and that loneliness and maddening suffocation was enough to change any strong-willed person. Xiong Tingbi is like this.

Yuan Dahai didn't expect the legendary bear barbarian Xiong Tingbi to be so talkative, and when he saw himself, he was like seeing an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, and he talked about it eloquently. It's ridiculous that I actually forgot the time and talked to him like this. In the end, Yuan Dahai found that there is really no one in this world who is not afraid of death, even Xiong Tingbi, who gave Nurhachi a headache, is also afraid of death.

Xiong Tingbi said that he shouldn't die, and Yuan Dahai asked him rhetorically, should the millions of people in Liaodong who were abandoned by him die? This question made Xiong Tingbi unable to speak again for a while.

"Lord Xiong, don't think about it so much, maybe you'll thank me."

Yuan Dahai suddenly laughed, and said to Xiong Tingbi with some pride: "Because I can let the adults leave the edict prison and enjoy a few days of sunshine." ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled bitterly: "The sun in your Dongchang is very dark. ”

"Whether it's dark or not, it's always tomorrow in the sky, not to mention, now, it's not for Lord Xiong to decide for himself." Yuan Dahai looked at this celebrity in the late Ming Dynasty who was not yet fifty years old with interest.

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, as if he had realized something, and raised his head to look at Yuan Dahai with his eyes that were no longer bright: "Is Wei Zhongxian finally going to deal with the Donglin Party?" ”

"The matter of the governor is not something that those of us who are subordinates should know."

"As I just said, things in the world can't be overpowered by evil after all."

"Then please tell me, who is right and who is evil between Donglin and my governor? If adults think that Donglin is right, isn't it true that adults are evil? Don't forget, my lord, it was the Donglin Party that put you in prison, not our governor. ”

"Alas, it seems that I have been in prison for too long, and my head is no longer good." Xiong Tingbi sighed, got up from the ground with some effort, slowly walked to Yuan Dahai, and then walked silently to the door.

"Since Wei Zhongxian wants me to die, I just don't want to die anymore, I just ask you Dongchang not to disturb my family."
