Chapter 29: The Scourge of Prison (2)
Ah Feng laughed angrily: "I am your bodyguard, not your nanny." Crush you. Saying this, Ah Feng still cast a little mana to relieve the pressure of the shackles and shackles. In this way, although Meng Xingyuan still wore shackles, he did not have any difficulty on his body.
Ah Feng also used his mana to float Meng Xingyuan in the air with empathy, so that he could sleep comfortably all night, just like in bed.
At noon the next day, the jailer came to deliver the meal. A large porcelain bowl filled with moldy grain and emitted an unpleasant smell. The other, with only a few openings, was a muddy soup that I couldn't see what it was.
Even though Meng Xingyuan was hungry, he almost threw up, and could only look at Ah Feng with a blank eye.
"I know you want me to help you find something to eat, but it's daytime, and I can't get out. Ah Feng said in embarrassment.
"I have a way. Meng Xingyuan smiled and whispered his thoughts. Ah Feng immediately agreed. She used her magic to control the jailer, telling him to obediently deliver his food, wine and meat to Meng Xingyuan, and then took the unpalatable prison food away and ate it himself.
"Whoever is a jailer extorts prisoners, so let's punish him a little. Ah Feng said. Meng Xingyuan nodded repeatedly, but couldn't answer her because he was gobbling up food.
That day's dinner and the next day's lunch were also spoiled grains, and Ah Feng also used his mana to make Meng Xingyuan eat a full meal.
The next day's dinner was delivered early, but the content surprised Meng Xingyuan and Ah Feng: it was no longer rotten grain rice that was not even as good as pig food, but a piece of meat, a fish, and a big pot of wine on a delicate plate.
The jailer also smiled and said, "These two days have been hard for General Meng. The villain deliberately took some wine and food to honor the general. Please use slowly. ”
"When things happen, there must be strange things. There must be something wrong with this drink. Moreover, it has always been only the jailers who ask for money from the prisoners, and where will they come to the prisoners. After the jailer left, Meng Xingyuan said coldly.
"Could it be because you used to be a general?" Ah Feng observed the wine and meat, but there was nothing unusual.
Meng Xingyuan thought soberly for a while and said, "This is impossible. I read a history book that said that there was a general named Zhou Bo in the Western Han Dynasty. He led the army to quell the rebellion of the Lu family, and was successively appointed as a lieutenant, prime minister and other positions, and was named the marquis of Jiang, with ten thousand households, and his eldest son Zhou Shengzhi also married the daughter of Emperor Wen of Han as his wife, which can be described as a very popular minister. is such a high-ranking official, but he was imprisoned in Chang'an Prison because he was falsely accused of rebellion. In prison, the jailers abused and humiliated him with impunity. Zhou Bo had to bribe the jailer's daughters and property. Not even such a powerful old minister will be taken care of by the jailers, let alone me?"
"However, I think it's normal for me to have this kind of wine and meat. ”
"Just try it. As he spoke, Meng Xingyuan caught a mouse—the prison was full of bed bugs and mice, and it was easy to catch one—and threw another piece of meat over.
The rat sniffed and happily swallowed it. But, in the blink of an eye, the mouse foamed at the mouth, convulsed, and rolled all over the ground.
"Sure enough, there was a problem. What a fierce poison!" Meng Xingyuan's face changed drastically, "A jailer doesn't have the guts to do this to me, I guess the person behind the instructions must be Zhao Gao." ”
"So what should we do?"
After thinking for a while, Meng Xingyuan said: "It's night, you can move freely, we can do this......" Then, he whispered a few words in Ah Feng's ear, and Ah Feng nodded again and again.
Meng Xingyuan spilled most of the wine in the bowl, buried the fish and meat under the straw, and then screamed in pain a few times, and then lay on the ground and did not move.
Sure enough, the jailer who had just delivered the meal sneaked out his eyes and looked at it, smiled sinisterly, and slipped away. He certainly didn't expect that there was a female ghost following him.
Ah Feng saw the jailer leave the prison and went around Zhao Gao's mansion. In a secret room, the jailer met Zhao Gao.
The jailer knelt on the ground and said with a flattering face: "Lord Zhao, the villain has already done as you instructed. The unknown Meng Xingyuan is no longer alive. ”
Zhao Gao nodded slightly: "You did a good job." I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold, and two beautiful women's names. With that, he clapped his hands, and immediately two bewitching-looking women entered the room.
When the jailer saw the beauty, his saliva was about to flow down, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
The two beauties lifted the jailer from side to side and smiled sweetly at him. Suddenly, there was a short knife in their hands, and in a flash of cold light, both of them stabbed into the jailer's body at the same time.
The jailer's saliva really flowed out, along with his blood. Ah Feng didn't feel sorry at all, because this was the doomed end of all lackeys.
Zhao Gao smiled and said to himself: "I have long guessed that this guy of unknown origin will form an alliance with the Meng family brothers. The people I sent out to spy on you also confirmed this. Killing you now can be regarded as a disaster for the future. ”
It turned out that when Meng Xingyuan was in Xianyang, the person who peeped in the woods was sent out by Zhao Gao.
Ah Feng got the news he wanted, and went to Qin Shi Huang's dormitory, although the dormitory was heavily guarded, no matter how many people there were, Ah Feng couldn't stop Ah Feng from entering and leaving.
Ah Feng fascinated Qin Shi Huang's mind and asked a few questions. Qin Shi Huang replied one by one as if he had been hypnotized. Ah Feng finally figured out everything and hurriedly went back to report it to Meng Xingyuan.
It turned out that Qin Shi Huang had always wanted "immortality", so some "warlocks" told him that he could go to the immortal mountains far away to seek the "elixir of life" for him. The first person was Xu Fu, who told Qin Shi Huang that there were three immortal mountains in the sea: Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, and there were immortals living on them. After asking for a large amount of finances, he led thousands of boys and girls to go to sea several times, but they did not find the fairy mountain and the "elixir of life" above. After going to sea for the last time, Xu Fu himself never returned, and he was never heard from.
Later, Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, Han Zhong, Shi Sheng and others continued to seek the "elixir of life" for Qin Shi Huang, but to no avail. Among them, Lu Sheng originally won the trust of Qin Shi Huang, but who knew that he often spoke ill of Qin Shi Huang with many "warlocks" in private, and also put forward many wrong political and governing opinions for Qin Shi Huang. Finally, Qin Shi Huang was disgusted with this man, and when he wanted to arrest him, he fled again, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
In a fit of rage, Qin Shi Huang arrested 463 "warlocks" from Xianyang and temporarily imprisoned them in prison. He also took the opportunity to confiscate a lot of historical records of the nations other than the "Records of Qin" that circulated among the people, as well as many books such as "Poems" and "Books" in the private collection that did not belong to the Doctor's Museum.
Qin Shi Huang thought that Meng Xingyuan was a very amazing person, and the purpose of summoning him back from the frontier was to ask him if he had any immortal mountains and "elixirs", and how to deal with the more than 460 "warlocks" in the prison.
However, Meng Xingyuan was straightforward and lacked political wisdom, so he directly told Qin Shi Huang that the person who destroyed the Great Qin Empire was his youngest son and his son's teacher. This made Qin Shi Huang very shocked and frightened, so he put Meng Xingyuan in prison as well.
As for the person who wants to poison Meng Xingyuan, it is Zhao Gao, he is a thief, and he is afraid that Meng Xingyuan will tell Qin Shi Huang about his unsightly behavior. Qin Shi Huang had no idea about it.
"Is this the 'book burning pit Confucian'? After listening to Ah Feng's story, Meng Xingyuan temporarily forgot his situation, but was thinking: If it is really "burning books and pit Confucianism", it will not only bury 463 lives, but also bring a huge blow to the culture of the Chinese nation, which is an irreparable loss.
"Even if I want to rewrite history, I must stop this cultural catastrophe. Meng Xingyuan said categorically, "Ah Feng, you must have a way for His Majesty to summon me again, right?"
Ah Feng said: "This is a trivial matter, I can give him a dream, or directly control his mind." It's just not going to work tonight because I've just gotten on him and he needs a good rest. Tomorrow. ”
Meng Xingyuan had no choice but to agree, and spent the night tossing and turning.
