Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Book of Despair
Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie walked along the crowd of twos, threes, and threes towards the south gate of Leye Fang. Shao Shoutie said in a low voice all the way: "Zhuo Ran, what I heard is similar to what Xiao Er said just now. That Tang Dusk is the outer room of the Long family, in the final analysis, it has always been the Long family that uses this method to deceive people. Li Zhuoran patted the placket on his chest and said: "I knew that this matter was inseparable from Shi Miyuan, but now this thing is not only available to the Rong Zhizhai family, but I also bought it in the ghost market in the alley of Qinhuaifang." ”
Shao Shou Tie said: "It's good to buy it, after you go back, let Brother Wang write a document overnight to explain this matter, you go back with the paperwork and ink slips, and hand it to the Yushitai, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence for overturning the case." Li Zhuoran said: "However, the coincidence you said, we haven't solved it yet; There is no news about the murderer who killed the shopkeeper Rong. "I know, you don't care about these things, Brother Wang and I will deal with it, the most important thing now is to let the grievances reach the heavens first, and don't let people settle the case in confusion." Shao Shoutie said.
Li Zhuoran suddenly stopped and said to Shao Shoutie: "Brother Shao, if Qingzhou can be saved this time, I will definitely take him to the house to thank him." Shao Shoutie smiled: "No need, I am a businessman who walks the rivers and lakes to do business, where is there a place to live, and the four seas are just my home." When this case is over, I will go to Lin'an and tell you the details, and this chapter will be over. Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie continued to walk forward, the cold in the late autumn night was getting thicker, but the two of them felt hot in their hearts.
In Dali Temple, Qin Guoxi led people to stand outside Zhao Qingzhou's prison, looked down at Zhao Qingzhou, who was kneeling and listening to the order, and said, "Lord Zhao, take the order." Zhao Qingzhou stretched out his hands and took the holy decree, he only felt that the holy decree weighed a thousand catties, and when he held it in his hand, it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top. Zhao Qingzhou got up slowly, his gaze crossed Qin Guoxi, looked at Zheng Degang behind him and said, "Lord Zheng, Zhao has a letter from home, please keep it on your behalf." ”
"Don't-" Qin Guoxi stopped: "What kind of family letter, you can't hand it over without authorization." Zheng Degang said solemnly: "Lord Qin, the law of the Great Song Dynasty has never been like this. Qin Guoxi looked back and smiled: "Lord Zheng, I'm also afraid that something will go wrong, and you and I can't explain it to the above." Zheng Degang looked at Qin Guoxi's eyes with a fierce expression, and said: "Zheng doesn't do bad things, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”
Qin Guoxi shrugged his shoulders and laughed twice, and said to Zhao Qingzhou: "Then take it out quickly, Lord Zhao, don't delay our business." Zhao Qingzhou chuckled, returned to the stone couch, folded a few pages of paper in half, and took them. Zheng Degang hurriedly took two steps forward from behind Qin Guoxi, reached out to pick it up, his hand held Zhao Qingzhou's cold hand, his eyes were slightly red, and he whispered, "Don't worry." ”
Zhao Qingzhou showed a hint of freedom and ease like a hole in the world, shook Zheng Degang's hand and smiled, opened his mouth and said, "It's okay." The words were so light that there was hardly any sound. Zheng Degang took the book and carefully put it in the placket. Qin Guoxi said: "Lord Zheng, this book, you can't just take it out like this, what if it's an anti-book?" "You-" Zheng Degang turned his head and glared at Qin Guoxi.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense for a while, Lao Xia and a few jailers all closed together with a threatening face, and the soldiers under Qin Guoxi also moved their muscles one after another, and the two sides secretly competed. Qin Guoxi lowered his head and smiled, and said, "In this way, Lord Zheng, let's each take a step back, you read this book in public, so that we can all understand what is written in it, and forget it." Zheng Degang said angrily: "Qin Guoxi, don't deceive people too much. He endured it for a while, and did not say a word from his lips: "It's not your turn to be powerful here." ”
Seeing that Zheng Degang seemed to be soft and didn't eat, Qin Guoxi stepped forward and snatched the holy decree in Zhao Qingzhou's hand, and shouted: "The holy purpose is here, if the official family comes in person, who dares to make a mistake?!" This shout ignited Zheng Degang's emotions that he had endured for a long time, and he threw back the silver-gray official mansion on his body, and reached out to grab Qin Guoxi's collar. Lord Zheng! Zhao Qingzhou shouted, and his voice echoed in the empty dungeon.
Zhang Yunhua and Ou Jinshu were walking in the tunnel at this time, and when they heard Zhao Qingzhou's "Lord Zheng", they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both stopped, standing outside the small door between the corridor and the dungeon and listening quietly. Zheng Degang looked at Zhao Qingzhou in surprise, and heard him say with a wry smile: "Just read it." Zheng Degang's hand stretched out in mid-air stopped, and then hung down weakly: "Lord Zhao, there is no need to be like this." Zhao Qingzhou shook his head and said: "As the adults said, Zhao Mou didn't do bad things in his life, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
When Zheng Degang heard Zhao Qingzhou say this, he thought about it in his heart, if he insisted on refusing to read the letter, it would be as if there was really something unspeakable in Zhao Qingzhou's letter. Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, and said mockingly, "Okay, then I'll read it to Lord Qin." Everyone quieted down, Qin Guoxi's subordinates moved a chair from nowhere, Qin Guoxi sat down and said, "Please-"
Zheng Degang's voice rang out in the dungeon:
"When I was young, I often admired the pen of the wind and regulations, which meant the book of Lingxiu. To the weak crown, through the ups and downs of the world, the more difficult it is to give up the word clumsy and thick. It can be known that he is clumsy, loyal and diligent, and he has been serving in Jiangning for more than six years, and he has always taken this word as a place to stand. However, Yu is upright, well-behaved in the world, tempers self-denial, and attaches great importance to hometown friendship, but it is also difficult to avoid the structure of power and treachery.
Although I know that life and death are constant, but before the great embrace, the bones will wither, the liver, gallbladder and chest, once scattered, is there no hatred? Yu Du hated his traitorous ministers today, and the high people who lived in the temple had no heart to help the needy, and no one had the will to love the people, but he did the same disaster of the party, slaughtered the dragon and the tiger, and killed the loyal and good. Within the four seas, virtuous ministers and good generals are all reluctant to suppress their sorrows, collect traces of Taoguang, only think about self-preservation, and have no intention of the people. Indulging in the wanton and reckless behavior of this generation, on the national broom, harming the virtuous, and eating the people's food, my great Song Dynasty is afraid of being mistaken by his hands. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhua only felt a tightness in his chest, he held back the tears in his eyes, and tried hard to support himself to listen. Inside, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Qin Guoxi's forehead at this time, and he was very unhappy: "Zhao Qingzhou, you are dying, and you still want to curse me Song Jiangshan, what is your intention?" Zheng Degang sneered and said: "Lord Qin, when you listen to the letter of the Feng family, you have to take it out of context and attach it to it?" You're really a sin you want to add, and you can't excuse it. ”
Qin Guoxi snorted and said, "Keep reading, I want to hear what else is behind." Zheng Degang lowered his head and continued:
"If the fortune of the country declines, Huma will go south from Heluo, when it is, the three mountains are poured and the five mountains are declining, the people of the lofty ideals are dying with regrets, and the people of Li are in exile, and the rest is under the nine springs, and it is also sad to the bone, and it is difficult to win. Yu Jin will die if he is wronged, hope for all the kings, keep the gestalt, think in the long run, don't be rash, and the jade tiles will be burned. Today, a certain clan is not benevolent, and there are a lot of grievances in the world, so you can wait for the opportunity of ten thousand grievances to boil, ignite a spark to wait for transmutation, and sink the grievances for the sages.
Another order Changfan, dismiss the household servants, and distribute all the calligraphy and paintings in the house to everyone, so that they can spend the year. Long memories of youth, traveling with your classmates, you are traveling, now I have grown up, sad, painful!" Qin Guoxi patted the case and said: "Don't read it, come here, push this Zhao Qingzhou, who curses the national fortune in vain and intends to rebel, out of the cane for me." Before Zheng Degang could react, he only heard a broken cry coming from outside the door: "Who dares to do it?!" ”
