Chapter 105: The Bones in the Dungeon
After Jiang Nan was arrested, he was re-imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and in the days when he was hiding outside, he only had a few happy days, but when he knew everything, he felt that this prison was the safest. Even more terrible than death is not knowing when you will die suddenly.
"Let's eat, let's eat......" The jailers shouted as they threw something like pig food into the prisoners' bowls, no matter how difficult it was to swallow, it was better than being hungry, not to mention that if there was no one outside to take care of you, no matter what your previous status was, it would be the same treatment here.
Jiang Nan...... Where's your bowl? A middle-aged jailer said coldly.
"Uncle Xi, where is Jiang Nan, I don't know whose wild seed he is, he was just taken back by someone to fill the number." Another young jailer said contemptuously.
"What do you say? Say it again? Jiang Nan said angrily.
"Say it again? A hundred times can't change the fact that you are a wild species, Jiang Bai's family doesn't know where to take you back in order to compete for favor, Jiang Guogong has raised you for so many years, you are not grateful, and you have to poison others, and as a result, Jiang Zhen was poisoned, and it is really cheap enough to be a person like you. The young jailer said coldly.
On weekdays, he is most disgusted with the arrogant virtue of these rich boys, relying on the fact that he is from a big family, he never takes these little people in his eyes, and always looks domineering, as if everyone has been trampled under his feet.
"How? If you have nothing to say, hurry up and bring your bowl over, or you'll be hungry. The young jailer said impatiently.
Jiang Nan glanced at the dirty bowl full of dirt in the corner, how could he use this, and the same rice as pig food, he would rather be hungry than eat.
"Where is this what people eat, it is for pigs, and pigs may not necessarily eat it." Jiang Nan lowered his posture and said.
"You say it's pig food? Hey, did you all hear that? This boy said that you eat pig food. The young jailer teased.
"Stinky boy, are you tired of living? Dare to say that we eat pig food, come here, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you. One of the shackled prisoners shouted.
Hearing this, Jiang Nan was stunned and immediately closed his mouth. This is a prison of the Criminal Department, and all the prisoners are condemned prisoners, Jiangyang thieves, habitual murderers and the like. In short, they are some wicked people who can't be messed with and are not easy to mess with.
The young jailer glanced at the shouting prisoner, "Alright, alright, stop arguing, hurry up and rest when you are full, and don't make trouble for us." ”
The fierce prisoner lost his arrogance at the time, and sat obediently in the corner of the cell, Jiang Nan looked at the mouse in the corner, and curled up, where did he suffer such a crime, if he hadn't been insatiable at the beginning, and didn't build the river embankment anymore, if he hadn't thought about competing with Jiang Tian for the position of the prince, maybe he could still raise his bed and warm his pillow and eat exquisite dishes, in fact, it was also good to be a rich idler.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan sat on the grass and cried quietly, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Chu Lixue and King Chen standing in front of the prison door, and the old man stood respectfully and waited.
Jiang Nan wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, "Hmph, you guys came to see my jokes, you should be satisfied now?" ”
"Your joke Concubine Ben is not interested in reading it, Jiang Guogong and Jiang Tian know that your life in prison must be difficult, this food box was brought to you by Jiang Tian." After finishing speaking, Liuyue behind him placed the food box at the door of the cell.
"Am I really going to die? I know it's wrong, can the emperor let me go? Jiang Nan clung to the railing and said. When he saw Chu Lixue and King Chen, in fact, he didn't hate it so much, but now that King Chen and Chu Lixue are willing to come to see him, maybe they can really help him, and Jiang Tian and Jiang Guogong actually sent him food, which shows that Jiang Guogong still has his son in his heart.
"Whether you are going to die or not, I don't know if the emperor can pardon you, but I know that Jiang Guogong is sad, although you are not his own child, but after all, you have been raising you for more than 20 years."
"I ...... I'm sorry Jiang Guogong, Princess Chen......"
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, you are really good, I didn't have any deep hatred with you, it's just the Bai family's ......"
"I get it."
"You know what? I envy Jiang Tian for having a friend like you, don't look at him all the time in a wheelchair, but there are many friends who treat him sincerely, I am really jealous of him. Jiang Nan smiled sadly.
"Well, I'm sure he knows, because he never wanted to hurt you." Chu Lixue said lightly.
At this time, the eunuch came to the prison with the holy decree, "Jiang Nan received the decree......
"Grass people Jiang Nan took the order." Jiang Nan respectfully knelt in front of the railing and waited for the surprise to come, thinking that even if the Jiang Guogong Mansion didn't save him, what about the Bai family and his biological father......
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Jiang Nan burned the granary, assassinated the prince, stole the money for the construction of the river embankment, all kinds of crimes are harmful to the national body, harmful to the people's livelihood, and immediately beheaded to show the public, his family and friends are not allowed to collect the corpse for him, Qin this!" The eunuch read the decree in a thin voice.
Jiang Nan was completely disheartened, these charges were actually detained on him, although he was also instigated, but in the end, these things were handled by his hands, and naturally they had something to do with him. Well, he will bear it all, and this can be regarded as a reward for his biological father.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan slammed his head on the ground, "The sinners are grateful, thank you." ”
"Someone comes, take the flail, and escort them to the execution ground." The eunuch said again. Immediately, he turned to look at King Chen and Chu Lixue, and said with a smiling face: "Lord, princess, the slave is delivering an edict today, so I can't say hello to the two of you." ”
"It's okay to be a high father-in-law, both the king and the princess understand." King Chen said with a smile.
"Hey...... Okay, thank you to the princess and princess. Gao Gonggong happily turned around and walked away.
Jiang Nan's shackles had been taken away, and he was escorted out by two guards, and just after walking out of the prison door, Jiang Nan suddenly turned his head and bowed deeply to King Chen and Chu Lixue, "Tell Jiang Guogong and Jiang Tian that I know I was wrong, please forgive me, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to be their son and brother." After finishing speaking, Jiang Nan was escorted away by the guards.
"I'll tell you. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but the fame can't be forgotten, where will the ancient and modern meet, and the barren mound is gone; The world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget, and in the end they only hate to gather much, and when they reach a long time, their eyes are closed; Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the wife can't forget, the gentleman's birthday said kindness, and the gentleman died and went with others; Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the children and grandchildren can't forget, the infatuated parents have been around for a long time, and the filial piety of the children and grandchildren has seen it. Jiang Nan, in the next life, you have to be a good person in the next life. Chu Lixue said aloud towards Jiang Nan's back.
Walking out of the cell, King Chen tightened the cloak on Chu Lixue's body, "The weather is getting colder, you have to take care of yourself." ”
"I don't want it."
"Why?"
"I want you to take care of me, take care of me for the rest of my life." Chu Lixue smiled lightly and looked at King Chen.
"Okay, it's decided, let me take care of you for the rest of your life." After speaking, the two walked hand in hand to the carriage.
Inside the carriage, King Chen remembered what Chu Lixue had just said to Jiang Nan, "Did you just say that those people in the world are only immortals, is it a warning to the world?" ”
"Hmm...... Yes. This is what I saw from a book, it's a good song. ”
"Okay song? The content is very good, such a book, the lady may wish to read more, in the future to educate our children. ”
Child? What kind of child, she is only sixteen years old now, such a good age, let her have a child, she doesn't want it, how good it is to live a few years in the world of the two. But if she said this, she could only think about it in her heart, Chu Lixue didn't dare to say it, otherwise, she didn't know what method King Chen would use to punish her.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, Jiang Nan and the officials who participated in the construction of the river embankment were locked in horse-drawn carriages and paraded through the streets, and the people threw vegetable leaves, eggs and even stones at them.
The stone hit several people on the head, and blood flowed out, "Kill them, kill them these corrupt officials, if it weren't for them, stealing the money from the river embankment, my daughter who married into Shuining Village would not have died." ”
"Yes, it's all their bastards, my husband went south to buy goods, and he also died in that flood."
The curses of the people grew louder and louder, and the excitement of the crowd reached an uncontrollable point for a while, and the line of the prisoners was blocked, and the guards driving the carriage were also covered in rotten leaves because of the prisoners in the cage.
"Everyone get out of the way, don't miss the time of the execution, when you get to the execution ground and cut off their heads, everyone will be relieved, don't delay the execution of this official now." The warden said loudly.
Hearing this, the people consciously gave way to the escort team and successfully arrived at the execution ground. Jiang Nan and a group of people knelt on the execution table, and muttered: "In the next life, I will definitely be a good person in the next life." ”
Just listen, "Execution." The warden said loudly. The token is then thrown.
The executioners held up their swords high, put a bowl of wine in their mouths, and sprayed them on the swords, and the noon sun shone brightly on the swords, which was very dazzling. The heads of a dozen men were cut off at the end of the day, and the people cheered, but those whose heads were cut off knew nothing.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw King Ning and Jiang Guogong sitting in the hall with a sad brow, even if they thought with their toes, they knew that they were coming to find King Chen, and they encountered a lot of trouble.
"Oh, why did you come back?" King Ning said anxiously. Because he didn't know that King Chen and Chu Lixue were going to see off Jiang Nan instead of Jiang Guogong and Jiang Tian, he thought that Chu Lixue was just going to do his own business.
"Uncle Ning, why are you in such a hurry?" King Chen said lightly.
"Look at this, our guards also found a secret room in the bombed-up dungeon, and found a skeleton in the secret room." As he spoke, King Ning handed King Chen a dragon-patterned jade pendant......
