Chapter 152: Dead
Zhang Youtao has always believed that you need corresponding chips before negotiating with others, but in the case of unequal chips, it does not mean that you will lose completely.
She took a few breaths, knowing that she had made the right bet this time, "You let them untie it, and I'll tell you." β
After a long time, the man in black sneered, "You think I'm that stupid?" β
Zhang Youtao raised her eyebrows and replied in her heart, although she is not so stupid, she is definitely not smart.
"Failure is the mother of success, if you know the reason for this failure can you improve, right?"
The man in black fell silent again.
The jailer was a little unwilling, he would be able to get it right away, "Don't listen to her nonsense. β
Dog stuff! Zhang Youtao scolded secretly in her heart, and she had another plan in her heart, "To be a human slave is to be loyal, don't prevent your master from becoming better for selfish desires." β
Sure enough, hearing this, the man in black set his eyes on the jailer, with scrutiny in his eyes.
The jailer swallowed his saliva and looked nervous, "Little ...... My lord, don't listen to this slut's nonsense, your subordinates are naturally loyal. β
Only then did the man in black retract his gaze, but the gloom in his eyes did not dissipate.
Zhang Youtao snorted lightly, she didn't want to use such a clumsy trick to separate the relationship between the two, she just said it casually.
However, it really gave her a surprise, if she guessed correctly, the jailer called the man in black 'Miss'. That means that this person is not a harem person, but a noble girl in the capital.
It's a pity that there are too many noble girls in the capital, and she can't guess which one it is.
"Don't try to escape today, go to prison!" The man in black also lost his patience and directly asked the soldiers to do it.
Zhang Youtao was anxious and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
The jailer's eyes flashed with pride, and he tightened the bullwhip in his hand.
Just when he was nervous, there was a sudden sound of panicked footsteps outside the door, and just listening to the footsteps knew that there were many people coming.
The man in black was frightened, and hurriedly walked up to the jailer and grabbed his clothes, "Is there a secret way to escape?" β
The jailer was also frightened at this time, he wanted to cry and shook his head without tears, how could this dungeon build a secret passage? If he had, he would have run away.
Xu knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, but the jailer actually collapsed to the ground with weak legs, unable to read.
If it weren't for the appearance of his dog, maybe Zhang Youtao still felt a little pity in his heart now, but not at all.
Zhang Youtao watched the door surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and a person walked out from behind, it was General Xiao Meng who went to arrest her that day.
Xiao Meng strode in, his cheeks moved, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, "At the foot of the world, it is so bold, the consequences of private punishment can be known, arrest it!" β
Who knows, the man in black stepped back, not afraid but even more arrogant, "You dare!" β
This time she spoke in a completely female voice, pampered and arrogant.
Xiao glanced at her, unmoved.
When a soldier gets an order, he will arrest people directly, and it will not vary from person to person.
The man in black was in a hurry, seeing that the soldiers were about to arrive, she shouted coquettishly, "I am the daughter of Prime Minister Cui, which of you dares to touch me." β
With that, she took off the veil from her face, and her face was immediately revealed.
Zhang Youtao remembers the woman in front of her, but the grievances between the two shouldn't be so deep, right? As for letting the other party go so hard to toss her?
Xiao Meng was indeed stunned, not because of anything else, but he didn't expect the prime minister's daughter to be so ignorant of the rules.
He was furious, "Arrest it." β
Cui Mingyan didn't expect that after revealing her identity, this confused general would still arrest her, and she was angry in her heart. Regardless of the difficulty, he shouted.
"If you dare to arrest me today, I will let my father and brother cut off your official position, even if you regret begging me to do nothing."
Xiao Mengcai didn't care how she shouted, from beginning to end, as if she hadn't seen it.
Zhang Youtao is also helpless, she has never seen someone threaten in front of so many people, even if Xiao Meng is unwilling to embarrass her, now I am afraid that she will be embarrassed for the sake of face.
You must know that although Prime Minister Cui Cheng is in a high position, he is also a civil official; But Xiao Meng is a real military attachΓ©, and he can't fight with civil officials!
I really don't know what to say.
Zhang Youtao's hands were untied, and she just wanted to thank her when she got up, but was stopped by Xiao Meng's look.
He looked at him coldly, "Take it back." β
It's really not a matter of affection at all, Zhang Youtao slandered.
However, to be able to escape today, it is indeed thanks to this iron-faced and selfless black-faced general.
How things should be resolved after that is not something she needs to worry about, now that she is in a big disaster, she needs to go back and take a good time, and let the bad old man talk in her ears for a while.
But when she returned, she found that there was no one on the other side of the cell, so she quickly grabbed the soldier who was about to leave and interrogated: "Where is the person opposite me?" β
The soldier glanced at it, "The emperor decreed that he should be beheaded at noon!" It should have been taken away by now. β
In this cell, she didn't know the hour, her head ached, and she stared at the window that was less than two slaps in a daze.
"He's lived fifty years, it's worth it!" The white-haired old man next to the bad old man spoke. Jiujiu Library
Zhang Youtao still remembers that he came in by poisoning, and it is unknown who poisoned him.
"What's the use of living in this cell for most of your life, even if you live for fifty years?" She asked rhetorically.
The white-haired old man hesitated for a moment, and finally only sighed slightly.
Before coming back, Zhang Youtao still wanted to have a good chat with the bad old man about wild history, but now it is a matter of fact. Looking at the cell opposite, which was still messy, I always felt desolate in my heart.
"Why was he beheaded?" Haven't you been here for decades? Why can't you tolerate it for a few more days!
The white-haired old man was hidden in the darkness, and when he looked at it from a distance, he could only see an outline, "Today's saint is narrow-minded, and this bad old man used a gold medal to survive here. Xu is that something big has happened outside recently, and the emperor is furious, and he needs to kill a few sinners to calm his anger! β
Zhang Youtao wanted to be angry, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately settled down.
In recent days, isn't the big thing happening outside becoming: Did she poison Concubine Shu?
She never wanted to harm people, but she always implicated these innocent people in suffering.
She furrowed her eyebrows, "Why are you still in this cell with the gold medal for avoiding death?" β
The white-haired old man sneered, and after laughing, he coughed a few times, "Little girl, I really should say that you are stupid, the bad old man is a traitor, the emperor can't wait to kill him a hundred times, and it is already a credit for the gold medal to avoid death to keep him." β
Today's emperor is narrow-minded and can't tolerate talented people, and I don't know how many people have died on it.
Some people also say that the original succession to the throne was not the current emperor, but just a means.
Zhang Youtao understood and said softly: "I killed him." β
If she hadn't come to the capital, there would have been no such inexplicable things happening, and the bad old man might have survived here for a few years.
What a sin!
What happened in this cell was never the same as the outside world, but this time it wasn't.
Today, the prime minister's daughter has made such a big move, which is really shocking, and I still want to see the excitement. After all, the prime minister's daughter was the best candidate for the three princes to choose a concubine this time, and now that there is such a scandal, I am afraid that this choice will change.
While watching the play, everyone faintly had expectations in their hearts.
Prime Minister's Office.
The crying continued.
Cui Bo wrinkled his brows, he was not in a good mood, he clasped his hands to his chest, "It's you who obviously did something wrong, and you're crying so much, it's so embarrassing!" β
As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Cui Cheng walked in, and it was vaguely visible that his eyebrows were the same as Cui Bo, frowning.
"Daddy." Cui Mingyan cautiously called.
"Don't call me Daddy." Prime Minister Cui pointed at her and was furious, "Stupid thing, who told you to go to the dungeon?" β
Cui Mingyan was extremely aggrieved, "Didn't Dad let his daughter please Concubine Shuniang?" But Concubine Shuniang lay down on the bed like this, unconscious, I couldn't go in at all, I could only ...... You can only do some side things. β
Prime Minister Cui Cheng laughed angrily, "So you want to go to the dungeon and torture the prisoner to make her tell the truth?" β
Cui Mingyan didn't cry anymore, and nodded honestly.
got her response, Cui Cheng was really speechless, "Stupid, really stupid!" β
Cui Mingyan didn't think she had done anything wrong, she had clearly calculated everything, and if she wanted to blame it, she would blame Xiao Meng for coming too fast, and it was too tactful.
If she had been released in the cell, there would have been so many things going on!
Cui Bo has been watching from the sidelines, how can he not know what his sister is thinking? 's heart turned, "Dad, now that my sister has lost such a big face, I'm afraid that the matter of choosing a concubine will change." β
As soon as he heard this, the resentment in Cui Mingyan's heart deepened.
Prime Minister Cui Cheng was even more anxious, why did he give birth to such a stupid thing.
"Dad, what should I do?" Cui Mingyan was very weak-hearted, and his voice was even more cautious.
If her father didn't want to help her, I'm afraid that this concubine selection would really fail, if she had known that this would be the case, she would not have run to the cell.
Prime Minister Cui sighed, "You've been staring at your sister for the past few days, don't let her have another incident." β
Cui Bo reluctantly responded, "Yes." β
Prime Minister Cui Cheng glared again and warned Cui Mingyan, "If this incident happens again, don't blame me, a father, for being unsympathetic." β
Cui Mingyan bowed his head.
Prime Minister Cui Cheng narrowed his eyes, if it goes well, of course it is better for his own daughter, but if it doesn't go well, the side daughter of the clan can also mention it.
Anyway, what their Cui family wants is only the position of queen, and it doesn't matter who they choose.
After Prime Minister Cui left, Cui Mingyan rubbed to Cui Bo's side.
Cui Bo glanced at her, "If you have something to say, I'm not a father, and I won't spoil you." β
Cui Mingyan stomped his feet, "You are my brother!" That Xiao Meng bullied me like this, you didn't help me! β
Cui Bo is not a fool, he sneered, "I heard that some people are talking out in the prison cell, I can't help with this, so as not to make others think that my prime minister's mansion is unreasonable." β
Cui Mingyan was speechless.
