Chapter 123: A Prison Visit
When he arrived at Dali Temple, Shangguan Haoyu went straight to the prison, and the jailer naturally knew that he was Lord Shang Shuling, and the father of the prisoner in the prison did not stop him and let him in
After entering the prison, Shangguan Haoyu was led by the jailer and kept walking forward, looking at the environment in the prison, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils
The ground is full of withered yellow weeds, which have not been cleaned for many years, and there is only a tattered straw mat on the ground for the prisoners to sleep, damp and dirty, rats and cockroaches are constantly fleeing in all directions, and the rancid smell of unknown sources permeates the prison, making people want to vomit when they smell it
Shangguan Haoyu took out the handkerchief in his shirt and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, unable to bear the dirt here
Walking all the way to an iron fence gate, the jailer took out the iron key in his hand and opened the iron gate, which was filled with death criminals to prevent them from escaping, so another iron gate was set up here
Taking off the iron chain, the jailer said respectfully, "Lord Shang Shuling, Shangguan Haoche is inside, you can go in"
"Hmm" Shangguan Haoyu replied lightly, ignored the jailer, and walked in directly with Zhou Fu
As soon as I entered the iron gate, I heard a loud shout from inside, "Father! ”
When Shangguan Haoche heard that someone had opened the iron door, he was still very worried, thinking that the executioner was going to escort him away, so frightened that his legs kept trembling
The iron door was opened, and it was my father who came in!
After a turn of fear, Shangguan Haoyu's heart was full of ecstasy at this moment, his father was here to save him! Definitely!
Shangguan Haoyu followed the voice and walked in front of Shangguan Haoche, looking at the middle-aged man locked inside, almost making him unrecognizable
The original gorgeous brocade clothes have now become prison uniforms, and there are many weeds on the hair, which looks dirty and messy, and you can even see the white threads between the hair, and many have grown
However, the hours of a day and a night made him feel like he was suddenly separated from the world, was the middle-aged man in front of him really the smart and rational Che'er he had since he was a child?
Why did it turn out like this?
Shangguan Haoyu looked at the eldest son in front of him, his thoughts were confused, and his wandering thoughts did not hear his repeated calls
Looking at Shangguan Haoche's begging face, hearing his words for help, Steward Zhu was a little unbearable, after all, how to say it, the eldest master also grew up watching him since he was a child, sighed slightly in his heart, and stepped forward
Stretched out his hand and gently pushed Shangguan Haoyu, and called a few times, "My lord, my lord!" ”
Shangguan Haoyu suddenly came to his senses, looked at Steward Zhu beside him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at Shangguan Haoche in prison
"Father, you want to save me! I don't want to die! Shangguan Haoche screamed, he really didn't want to die, he still had so much silver unspent, let him go to the guillotine now. He was not reconciled!
Shangguan Haoyu sighed, "Che'er, my father can't save you"
"Nope! No! Father! You're my real father! How can you not save me! Let the emperor cut off my head! ”
"Where's my sister! She is the current Queen Mother, did you send her a letter? I'm her own brother, how can she let me go? Shangguan Haoche rushed to the wooden fence and yelled as he lay down between the cracks in the fence
At this moment, his emotions collapsed directly, and all he could think of was begging them to save him, he really didn't want to die!
When Shangguan Haoyu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, "Your sister, how can she care about our life or death, she really raised a white-eyed wolf"
"No, father, you go and beg my sister, the emperor is her biological son today, as long as she opens her mouth to intercede, the emperor will definitely let me go, it doesn't matter if I am guilty, as long as I live"
Shangguan Haoche stretched out his arm and kept gesturing, his hair sticking to his face with the movement, but he didn't mind at all, and kept talking
"You let the father go and beg her?" When Shangguan Haoyu heard this, he was furious, and he almost didn't slap Shangguan Haoche in the face
He is her father, Feng Lingguo has always paid the most attention to filial piety, Che'er can actually say that let him beg the queen mother, a father begging his daughter, what kind of system!
Even if she is the queen mother, she is also his biological bloodline, her life is given by him, and it will never be his turn to beg her
Shangguan Haoyu looked at Shangguan Haoche in front of him, with a burst of disappointment in his eyes, and he was very disappointed in him
Shangguan Haoche didn't seem to realize it, and still kept talking, his mind was already confused, "Father, as long as my sister saves me, as long as she is willing to save me, I can live, I can not die, no one dares to kill me"
"Go tell your sister, let her come, let her save me"
It was as if he had fallen into some kind of obstacle, and there was only one thought left in his mind, repeating the words as if this was his last straw
Shangguan Haoyu looked at him like this, felt sad in his heart, and sighed, "Your sister won't come to save you"
Because, it was her biological son who personally sent him to prison, and she did anything for her son
Suddenly, Shangguan Haoyu remembered something, he walked up and asked, with a serious face, "Che'er, for your father to ask you something, you must tell the truth"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to endure the dirty, and pushed Shangguan Haoche, trying to keep him awake
Shangguan Haoche felt this action, his confused eyes cleared, and he looked at his father in front of him, "What's the matter?" ”
Shangguan Haoyu thought for a moment again, and then asked, "Do you have any hands and feet to fish for oil and water?" ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Haoche trembled, did not reply to him, and looked at him with straight eyes
Looking at his expression, Shangguan Haoyu still didn't understand anything, he understood everything, the evidence in the emperor's hand must have been mastered a long time ago, but it was kept and not announced
It was he who personally sent himself to a dead end, and let the emperor take him to open the knife, the usual greed for small bribes and small bribes, the emperor can ignore it and endure it, but he actually put his hand into the household department of a country!
It's just that I don't know what reason he used to make the people in the household willing to give him the silver, in short, it is not a decent means
After listening to his father's inquiry, Shangguan Haoche's mind went blank directly, could it be that the emperor knew that?
No, it can't be, he did it so secretively, how could he find out
"Che'er, do you know the account book in the household department, on which every account is clearly recorded, you are simply stupid to get oil and water from it" Shangguan Haoyu was helpless, he really wanted to see what was in his head
Even if he bribed a few people, it was impossible to buy all of them, and it was impossible not to let everyone read the bills, so he would be exposed sooner or later
He stretched out his hand and patted Shangguan Haoche's shoulder, and said the last sentence sadly, "Che'er, go"
After finishing speaking, he directly turned around and left with Zhou Fu, walked out of the iron fence gate, and did not look back again, letting Shangguan Haoche roar and scream inside, and he did not look back
He only continued to walk straight out, and he had already entered old age, and he was no longer as high-spirited as he was back then, leaving only a trembling back
Out of Dali Temple, he got into the carriage directly, and Steward Zhu drove the carriage back to the house
