At the beginning of the day, the prison was dead and silent, the dim light of the candlesticks in the aisle dispersed into the cell, Niu San did not dare to breathe, the figure of the dagger was reflected on the cold wall, he moved slowly to the forest with stiff steps, the arm holding the dagger trembled more and more, and the cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

Zuo Chao was worried that Niu San would be timid and repentant, and things would change, so he took his wife and children to visit him in prison. After Zhang's mother and son were forcibly dragged out of the cell by the jailers, Niu San knew that Zuo Chao was determined to die, either the family would die, or kill the humble gentleman in front of him. However, Niu San still didn't see through Zuo Chao's vicious trick of killing people with a knife, if he killed Xiang Lin, he still couldn't live, as for why Niu San had a dagger hidden in his hand, Zuo Chao had already thought of a rhetoric.

Niu San's mind was full of the call of his mother and the cry of his wife and children, and he struggled to tell himself that if he didn't kill the person in front of him, then it would be the death of four people in the family, and he even thought of the tragic scene of the whole family being killed and blood splashed on the walls.

Lying on Xiang Lin's side, Niu San clenched the dagger with red eyes and was about to poke it at his heart, Xiang Lin suddenly threw away his arm and turned over to lie on his back, muttering in his mouth:

"Go to heaven with good thoughts, and go to hell with evil thoughts..."

Niu San was stunned, staring at Xiang Lin's eyes and not daring to breathe. After a while, Niu San saw that Xiang Lin was sleeping soundly, and slowly raised the dagger and took a step closer.

"Good and evil are in the eyes of the earth, and the three-foot gods cannot be deceived..."

Niu San felt that something was wrong and was stunned, he was in a panic, he grabbed the dagger with both hands and rushed to Lin's chest to stab, but unexpectedly, Xiang Lin turned over and sat up and looked at him quietly, so frightened Niu San was stunned, and the falling dagger was inserted into the mat grass on the ground with a bang.

"Spare your life! Spare your life, my lord! Niu San knelt down and kowtowed, sweat on his forehead was like rain, Xiang Lin sighed and got up and said: "Zuo Chao is a vicious villain, not only will you not be able to get rid of the capital crime if you kill me, I am afraid that I will be charged with murder again, and at that time, not only will it be difficult to protect myself, but I am afraid that it will also affect my wife and children!" Xiang Lin said and helped him up.

In fact, Xiang Lin was suspicious from the moment he was escorted into the secret prison by the jailer, it is not surprising that there is another prisoner in the prison, it is strange why his eyes are full of fear and panic, why the jailer will let his wife and children visit the prison today, why he will be released from prison tomorrow without the slightest joy when he sees his wife and children, and the hand of the jailer holding the handle of the knife, the fierce face... All this is in the eyes of Lin Du.

"But if the villain doesn't do this, how can Zuo Chao spare me!" Niu San turned his head to be sad and indignant, and paused for a moment with his eyebrows on his head, "Don't panic, I have a friendship with Prison Zheng Wu Tongshang, and he may be able to save your life." Niu San's eyes lit up and hurriedly helped him sit down, whispered begging, whispered to Lin, and Niu San sat on the ground in horror.

"Is that a pot of poison bar?"

"Don't hide it from your lordship, it's indeed poisonous wine..."

Niu San complained bitterly about yesterday's torture room, Zuo Chao planned to threaten him to use a dagger tonight to kill Xiang Lin, and saw that he was timid and hesitant, so he told him that the jailer would take the opportunity to send the prison food to send poisoned wine, if the stealing and killing failed, he would try his best to induce him to drink the poisoned wine, but his wife and children suddenly came to visit the prison, this was just Zuo Chao's means of pressure, Niu San didn't know at all.

"Dead! Come on! It was dawn, Niu San suddenly shouted in a loud voice, and after a while, the head of the prison came with a few guards who were patrolling, and the head of the prison was shocked to look at the prison, and Xiang Lin lay motionless on the straw mat, his cheeks and clothes were full of blood.

"You guys keep an eye on it! I'm going to report to Lord Wu! "This prison head is Wu Tong's person, and there are many credible eyeliners arranged by Wu Tong in the prison. The prison boss hurriedly reported it, and Wu Tong rushed to the prison in a panic.

"Brother Xu Xian? Oops!! Seeing Xiang Lin lying on the ground like a dead body, Wu Tong blamed himself and sighed, and was about to catch Niu San over to ask him clearly, Xiang Lin coughed a few times and slapped off the mat grass on his body and got up, "Brother Xian called me?" Wu Tong looked stunned, "Oops! How the virtuous brother didn't move, it scared me! Xiang Lin approached and smiled, "If you don't do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Brother Lao Xian to come..."

Wu Tongzhi walked the jailer and talked to Xiang Lin, and then Zuo Chao hurried over, saw that Xiang Lin was not dead, and ordered Niu San to be dragged out and beheaded after a few polite words, Niu San cried and forged, Wu Tong asked the reason, Niu San said that he had killed Zhou Batian by mistake, Zuo Chao insisted on killing his head to pay for his life, Wu Tong stopped him, and then sent the jailer to lock Niu San in other cells first, and asked about the trial on the next day.

"Useless stuff!" In Situ Mansion, Xie Shen pointed at Zuo Chao's nose and scolded.

"Great. My lord, Wu Tong is relying on Fan Yi's power to fiddle with official authority, if the subordinate officials do too much, I am afraid that the official position will be difficult to protect..."Zuo Chao squeaked, no matter how powerful Xie Shen was, it was difficult for him to have Fan Yi's power, if he fell behind again, even if he made trouble with Xiao Yan, he would have a hard time arguing, and if he didn't say it well, he would lose Xiao Yan's trust, so wouldn't it be a big loss because of a small loss, and the gains outweighed the losses."

"Fan Yi, this old guy is bent on balancing the power of his own officials, and if he is not careful, he will lose everything, if he wants to eradicate dissidents, if he does not have a good strategy to win, he must not act recklessly, and now it seems that he can only wait for a good opportunity!"

"What my lord said is extremely true, although he did not get rid of Xu Xianglin this time, he can be demoted to his official position according to the law, so it is expected that he will not be able to make any big waves in the future!"

"It's okay, Wu Tong will be arraigned tomorrow, and he must be forced to convict in court, the old man finally asked the saint to ask for a confession, otherwise there is an old thing like Fan Yi, and Xu Xianglin will not be at large in the country."

At the beginning, Zhu Yi's daughter Zhu Qiaofeng clarified his innocence to Lin, Wu Tong sentenced his official reinstatement, Zhu Yi told Xie Shen, Xie Shen was displeased, and Xiao Yan was only able to face Xiao Yan when he entered the palace for many days, Xiao Yan had not paid attention to the government for many days, and he had prepared Zen clothes at that time, and was about to go to the Forgotten Dust Temple outside Jiankang City to retreat and practice Buddhism, Xie Shen played Wu Tong's unfair judgment, Xiao Yan then called Fan Yi to question, Fan Yi and Xie Shen argued, Xiao Yan had already listened impatiently, and casually let Xie Shen pass down the edict, and demoted Xiang Lin's official position to the head of the Guozijian book, Fan Yi did not dare to provoke the anger of the saint again, so he had to submit to obey orders.

The next day, Wu Tong was convicted and sentenced according to Fan Yi's arrangement, Zuo Chao was not convinced, and together with the prison prisoner Sun Yan recounted the crime, "My lord, you haven't forgotten the last time the prime minister was accused by the saint in person, right?" If the adult is convicted unfairly because there is no law in the law, if Lord Situ participates in a book in front of the saint, not only will it be difficult for the lord to protect his official position, but I am afraid that the prime minister will also be implicated?! ”

Hanshuge hid filthy books, according to the law of the dynasty, he should be imprisoned for one month, and the official was demoted to three levels, but Wu Tong was sentenced lightly, Sun Yan and the others knew Wu Tong's thoughts, and they had already prepared, Zuo Chao even recited the law in court to satirize Wu Tong's unfair punishment. After thinking about it again and again, Wu Tong had to give up his feelings and righteousness and convict impartially, Xiang Lin was already free of his life, and he couldn't let Xie Shen grab Fan Yi's handle no matter what, otherwise the court would really be in chaos.

The open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, Xiang Lin was framed by Zhu Yi's uncle and nephew, and his official position was demoted to the instructor (assistant teacher) of Guozijian, except for following Zhu Li's ass and being sent by others all day long, there was no opportunity to lecture at all.
