Chapter 111 Arraignment
In the corner of the cell in Fengquan Mansion, a middle-aged man in prison clothes closed his eyes and faced a wall, his whole temperament was incompatible with this big prison, and he didn't seem to care about the place he was in.
A jailer opened the cell door and said impatiently, "Come out, Lord Han is arraigned." ”
Zeng Rong turned around calmly, opened his eyes and glanced at the jailer, his thin lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound, and walked out of the cell with the jailer.
As we passed by several other cells, several prisoners, also dressed in prison clothes, stepped forward.
"Master Zeng, you want to save us!" Xu Peicang stretched out his hand to Zeng Rong outside the cell, his eyes full of eagerness and pleading.
Everyone has an innate fear of death, and the longer they stay in this cell, the more they feel that death is approaching, even if Xu Peicang is now over forty years old, he still can't escape this fear.
Zeng Rong's face was still very calm, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at Xu Peicang.
The jailer sneered and sneered: "He can't protect himself now, how to save you is simply wishful thinking." ”
Xu Peicang's face changed slightly, and his heart suddenly became half cold.
Yes, Zeng Rong himself is in prison like them, how can he save them?
It was only at this time that Xu Peicang suddenly woke up to the fact that all the benefits promised at the beginning disappeared with Zeng Rong being imprisoned and became empty words.
"Lord Zeng, you told us that as long as we listen to you, you can ensure that we will be prosperous and rich all our lives." Yu Shibao also couldn't sit still, with anger on his face.
That feeling of being deceived was like a giant hammer all the time, knocking on his heart again and again, alerting him, making him both painful and regretful.
Zeng Rong smiled slightly, with a bit of smugness in his smile, as if he had no fear of anything he was going to face.
He said slowly: "The two adults must learn to calm down, we all speak the same word, forgive the Lord of the Qincha and can't bear us, as long as there is enough time, someone will save us out." ”
Before Xu Peicang and Yu Shibao could say more, the jailer pulled the iron shackles on Zeng Rong's body and scolded: "Hurry up! ”
"You are in prison, I advise you to play less tricks, Lord Han is aware of everything, and there are eleven princes to assist, since Lord Han has put you in prison, you are waiting to be convicted."
The jailer chattered as he pulled Zeng Rong forward.
"Little brother turned out to be an official of Fengquan Mansion, right?" Zeng Rong looked at the jailer walking in front and asked with a smile.
The jailer paused, glanced back at Zeng Rong, and sneered: "Of course, but a small official like me naturally couldn't get into your Zuo Shaoyin's eyes before." ”
"Zeng Zuo Shaoyin's name, our brothers used to be thunderous, but Lord Zeng himself didn't expect it, one day he will come in our Fengquan Mansion cell to try it, so that my brothers have the opportunity to entertain you."
The so-called icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
Once a person is knocked off the altar, there are always those who fall into the stone. The jailer in front of him is like this.
In the past, for them, Zuo Shaoyin, who was high in the sky, would one day fall into their hands. This can't help but make them, people with humble status, have a little pleasure.
Zeng Rong was taken to the palace hall, Han Tao was sitting in the public hall, Jiang Ling was standing straight next to the public case, his face was full of confidence, thanks to the trust of his own prince, he had become the spokesperson of the prince.
There was already a person kneeling in the hall, and Zeng Rong recognized it at a glance, it was Gu Jian, the mansion who had been with his colleagues for several years.
At this time, Gu Jian's whole body shook the sieve, and as soon as Zeng Rong arrived, he looked at him vaguely, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Han Tao looked at Zeng Rong coldly and said, "Prisoner in the hall, can you be guilty?" ”
Although Zeng Rong knelt on the ground with his legs, his body was tense and straight, and he said with a flat face: "The lower official is not guilty, please be aware of it." ”
"Bold Zeng Rong!" Han Tao was shocked, stood up suddenly, pointed at Zeng Rong angrily, and said: "You deceived the monarch, shielded subordinate officials, covered the sky with one hand in Fengquan Mansion, and overthrew the authority of Yin in Fengquan Mansion, and said that you are not guilty, so how can you be considered guilty?" ”
The corners of Zeng Rong's mouth pressed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he suddenly stopped, kept silent, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Seeing this, Han Tao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "What? Do you have nothing to say? ”
Zeng Rong looked at ease and said: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, if the adult has to convict the lower officials, whatever the lower officials say is in vain, and it is just a waste of words." ”
Han Tao sneered and said, "It seems that you are high, but Gu Jian, who was an official at the same time as you, is not as calm as you, he has already confessed everything, and this official advises you not to do fearless struggles." ”
Zeng Rong turned his head and glanced at Gu Jian, only to see that after Gu Jian met his gaze, he buried his head deeply, not daring to touch his line of sight, Gu Jian's reaction just confirmed Han Tao's words, Zeng Rong's face changed slightly for the first time, and he frowned slightly.
Gu Jian is a person who is submissive to him on weekdays, but it also just reflects the cowardice in his temperament, this person is useless, he already knows it.
In fact, Gu Jian is a soft bone, he knew that this person was unreliable, but fortunately, in the past, he only asked him to cover up some superficial things, as for the core, Gu Jian was not qualified to participate.
Even if Gu Jian confessed, it was just some innocuous little crimes, as long as he waited for that person to come to the rescue, there was no need to worry about it at all.
Zeng Rong took a slow breath, pressed the throbbing in his heart, and his face returned to normal again.
Han Tao couldn't help but look at this person with admiration, no matter how he said it, as the imperial history of the right capital, there were not a few prisoners he had come into contact with before, but he had never seen a prisoner as calm as Zeng Rong.
At this time, Jiang Ling suddenly smiled, walked to Zeng Rong's side, walked around him twice, and seemed to examine him from top to bottom, front to back several times.
After a while, Jiang Ling spoke: "Do you still think that the person behind you will try to save you?" ”
Jiang Ling continued: "Don't forget, our prince is also a prince. ”
The word "also", Gangneung bites extremely hard.
Although Zeng Rong's face did not change, his pupils shrank slightly.
"The prince had long expected that you would be innocent, so the prince entrusted me to bring you a word." Jiang Ling paused and continued: "If people don't know what they have in the river unless they do anything, the prince will find out, even if you have a hundred mouths, it will be impossible for you to defend yourself, and the person behind you, don't want to stay out of the matter." ”
