Chapter 195: Question
Lu Yun hurriedly asked: Then who was he with when you saw him that time?
That's a tough question to answer. Ouyang Shu thought for a while, and said half-truthfully: I saw that he and another person looked very intimate, so I didn't come forward to disturb. I guess it must be his lover!
Lu Yun shook his head and sighed bitterly: Sure enough, as I expected, he was greedy for beauty and couldn't think about it. Ouyang Shu added a sentence in his heart: Beauty? Although Zhao Sanyanei is also considered to be good-looking, he is still far from the standard of beauty.
When Lu Yun got such bad news, he was very excited, so he arched his hand to Ouyang Shu and said, "Farewell!"
Seeing him go away, Hu Lang said to Ouyang Shu: "Virtuous son-in-law, you should also set off! Now that the sun has not yet risen, the prison of Shifendali Temple is definitely the newest prison in the entire Great Song Dynasty and the best in the external environment. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Dali Temple did not have a prison, and its function was only to push the case. Until the fifth year of Xining (1o72 AD), Emperor Shenzong issued an edict to build Dali Temple Prison, which lasted only 17 days, and a brand new prison was established. It can also be seen here that the construction workers of the Great Song Dynasty are very enthusiastic about building prisons and punishing ** elements and big bad guys, and they get twice the result with half the effort.
This Dali Temple, which is still less than 30 years old, covers a large area, and looks very majestic from afar. And because the pines and cypresses are planted all around, and the trees are verdant, it looks very gloomy when you walk in.
But even more eerie is the inside of the prison. Although this prison is young, its internal organs have long been no different from those centuries-old prisons, they are all the same erosion and the same pickled dirt.
Luo Youde was lying on the ground like a dead dog at this time. He doesn't know how many times he has shouted these two words in the past few days, and the officials of Dali Temple have also interrogated him several times, but in addition to repeating the two words of wronged, he can't say any evidence in his favor, which makes him a little nervous these days, and when he talks to himself, the word "wronged" will come out of nowhere. However, because he has always refused to admit his guilt and be detained, considering his identity, the interrogation officials of Dali Temple are not easy to force them, and the case has been deadlocked.
As is customary these days, he is arraigned every morning, and the officials who question him come and go, and his own answers come and go. After a few days, he treated this process as a daily passscene, and he even memorized the whole process of the conversation. As a result, he was no longer so afraid of the prison in front of him, which was filled with strong smells and all kinds of wails, but became more and more indifferent.
Today, though, something is unusual. At this time on weekdays, he also lies here like this, but that is because the arraignment ended early. But so far today, no one has come, not even the inmates next to him have been dragged out for interrogation.
This phenomenon is very abnormal, with Luo Youde's many years of experience in officialdom, of course, he guessed that something big must have happened outside, and these people in Dali Temple have no time to manage the prisoners in prison. However, he was not interested in knowing what had happened, and at his current point, there was no other national event that could arouse his interest except for the amnesty of the world. However, it is impossible for the world to have an amnesty, which was just granted a few years ago, and it is impossible to do it again a few months later.
So, Luo Youde lay down quietly and enjoyed this rare purity. The Q&A with those officials in Dali Temple, to be honest, although there is no mental burden, but the physical exertion is still quite large. Besides, the food in this prison really can't be called food, and in his opinion, it's too cold to feed the pigs. For a person like him who has been delicacies of the mountains and seas for a long time, it is really unbearable, if he is not so hungry that there is really no way, where can he swallow such things. In the past few days, although he has barely eaten something, the reality is that he has indeed lost weight, and it is obvious that he has lost a lot of weight.
Just when Luo Youde's mind was flying and his heart was full of imagination, he heard a sound of footsteps. He was lying on the ground at this time, and he could hear the footsteps very clearly.
Luo Youde subconsciously raised his head, and saw a jailer walking over with two jailers. When he came to his room, the jailer took out the key and opened the prison door, and said to the jailer, "Take it away!" and the two jailers rushed up like wolves, dragged him up, and walked away.
Luo Youde was already resting, and was so unceremoniously harassed that he was naturally full of displeasure, and while struggling, he shouted: "What are you doing? Let go of me!" However, he was already a weak scholar, and he was already exhausted from hunger, and that little bit of struggle seemed to the two jailers to be like tickling, and his shouting voice was hoarse and weak, and it had long been drowned out by the dry howls of the mortals around him.
After a while, they came to an interrogation room next to the prison, and the jailer came to the door and said softly: "Enlighten and push, bring the prisoner!"
Luo Youde finally stopped screaming, because he saw that the atmosphere was different today, on weekdays, there were three classes of officials standing solemnly on both sides of the hall, the presiding judge sat high in the main hall, and the master next to him had all the copywriting, and the prisoner did not need to go through the report after bringing it, and directly mentioned it in front of the hall. But looking at today's momentum, it doesn't seem to be the case, the interrogation is actually placed in this small interrogation room, and then the prisoner arrives and has to report it.
Could it be that he is going to be tortured? Luo Youde was shocked. He knows that once His Majesty orders the execution, it will not be as simple as the pain of flesh and blood, and the case will become difficult to overturn, even if His Majesty finally realizes that he is wrong one day, but for the dignity of the emperor, he will choose to cover up the past instead of slapping himself in the face!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice inside gently answer: "Bring him in!" The voice was full of breath, and there was infinite confidence in the gentleness.
The jailer waved his hand, and the two jailers immediately dragged Luo Youde in, threw it on the ground like garbage, and then retreated, and closed the door with his hands.
Luo Youde struggled to get up, but he was about to check the surrounding environment when he heard a voice say: Do you still recognize me?
Luo Youde was slightly shocked, and when he followed the prestige, he saw an official sitting on the lobby, dressed in a brand-new official mansion, with a national character face, a rather majestic face, and a hint of a smile in his eyes, looking at him lightly.
You, are you the Mu official? Luo Youde shouted loudly. He always thought that Mu Daguan should be a relative of the emperor who failed to compete for the throne, but he didn't want him to be an upright court official, which was simply too unexpected for him.
Mu Yun smiled slightly, and said: Luo Buque still remembered Xiaguan, it really made Xiaguan panic, Xiaguan still thought that these ten days in prison would make people's memories dull!
Ouyang Shu nodded, and was about to turn around and get into the car, but he saw Lu Yun's body weakening from a distance, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the two family members who were with him were quick and supported him from left to right.
