Chapter 115: Prison Visit
"That's not a problem, when do you want to go?" Mr. Mu was very refreshing.
"Without further ado, now! Where is he imprisoned? I said.
"Edict." Mr. Mu replied.
"Where is that?"
"It's in the southwest corner of Miyagi, not too far."
"Okay, let's go!"
"Let's go!" Mr. Mu repeated what I said, his hands raised, but he didn't move, as if he was waiting for me to lead the way.
I immediately realized that my official position at the moment was Wei Cao, and the person in charge was the transfer of prisoners, and if I wanted to see Liu Che, it happened to be within my authority, so I laughed and said, "Okay, come here!" ”
So the first time I took office, I also became the master and asked my subordinates to take us straight to the edict.
Along the way, I inevitably asked questions and learned that this edict is equivalent to a prison directly managed by the imperial family, and all the prisoners in it are detained by the emperor's direct order, and they are not ordinary prisoners, most of them are officials above a certain level. I guess Wang Che is not an official, but because he has served the royal family for many years and is involved in the Blood Rock Furnace incident, he is also imprisoned here.
When we arrived at the door, my subordinates presented the official documents, and the guards obediently opened the door and let us in. At this time, I understood why Liu Zhi had given me such a position, and it was really much easier to do things. I asked my men to wait at the door, and I followed the jailer in with Chief Mu.
It is said to be a prison, but after all, it is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the exterior design looks almost like an ordinary courtyard, but when you walk in, you can see that each room is full of iron doors and windows, and there are guards everywhere, so you feel that this is a place that deprives people of their freedom.
We walked all the way to the depths of a path, and the jailer pointed to the last room. "This is it," he said. ”
He stepped forward to open the door first, but I didn't rush to open it, but walked out of the window next to me and looked inside.
This room doesn't seem to be too big, because there is only this window, and the inside of the room is a little dark. I couldn't see it really, and I didn't see a human figure.
Manager Mu reminded on the side: "This person is a hard bone, no matter how you can say, it is not easy to persuade him to cooperate." ”
"yes," I laughed, "and I'll see it." ”
Walked to the door again, turned back to Manager Mu and said, "Trouble father-in-law wait a minute, I'll go in and talk to him, and I'll come out soon." ”
Mr. Mu nodded. I opened the door and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, my eyes were not very accustomed to the change in light, so I couldn't help but block my eyes with my hands, and after a while, I was finally able to see the situation in the room clearly.
In the end, the prisoners were held, and the room was quite simple, with only beds, small tables, and chairs. Simple everyday items, nothing else superfluous. The big difference from ordinary prisons is probably that it is fairly clean.
I looked around, and finally my eyes fell on the floor by the window, where a man sat quietly, staring forward with his eyes blank, as if thinking about something. So focused that even a big living person like me walked in and ignored it completely.
This...... Is it Wang Shaoting's father, Tao Zhihuan's father's friend, Wang Che?
I closed the door with my hand, walked over gently, and crouched down to look at him. I saw that he was only in his forties. But his temples are already gray, his face is a little gray, and his facial features are vaguely very similar to Wang Shaoting. The clothes on his body are a little worn, and some places are torn, so I guess I have suffered a lot of crimes. Holding his hands on his knees, there are many scars on his hands, but they seem to be old wounds, not so much like they were caused by external forces, but like burns from chemicals, which must have been left in the process of dealing with Dan furnaces and chemicals for many years.
I looked at this uncle, thinking of his willingness to take risks in order to save my Tao family, and his unyielding perseverance in the cause he was loyal to, benevolence, righteousness and responsibility, I admired in my heart, and I couldn't help but grasp his vicissitudes of life, and called out softly: "Uncle! ”
His sloppy gaze slowly gathered, and finally fell on my face, and he stopped for a moment, and asked with some confusion, "Are you ......?"
"I'm Tao Zhihuan." I tried to keep it as low as I could.
Tao Zhihuan's three words seemed to touch him all at once, his eyes instantly widened, and he blurted out: "You are Tao ......"
Before he could finish speaking, I reached out to cover his mouth, pointed out the window with my other hand, and made another "shhhhhh
He nodded in understanding, but his expression was full of excitement that could not be concealed. He looked me up and down, his eyes full of love and surprise!
If you see your friend's son, what if you see your own son? I looked at him, and I really wanted to bring him back to Wang Shaoting right away, so that they could reunite father and son!
But for now, you must convince yourself to calm down! This plan determines the common fate of several of us, and I can't make a mistake!
So he held his hand and said, "Uncle, listen to me, Shaoting is outside Luoyang City right now, I believe you must also want to reunite with him!" We'll find a way to get you out!" ”
As a result, when the old man heard my words, his expression changed, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he said in a dumb voice: "No, I don't want to go out." ”
"Ah, why?" I was surprised.
"You go and tell Shaoting, don't come to Luoyang again, go far, live well, just do it."
"But ......"
"You're too, it's too dangerous for you here! Come on! Come on! Leave me alone! He seemed to suddenly get excited.
I was stunned on the spot, watching him bury his face between his knees, but his hands trembled slightly.
As soon as I thought about it, I remembered that Wang Shaoting had told me that his father had chosen to go back to the palace to ask for his guilt, and he must have been fully aware of the fact that he had made such a decision, including the possibility that he might be executed for disobeying the emperor's order, and that he would be separated from his family forever!
I admire his courage, but I can't agree with such foolishness, and I must find a way to make this old man understand that as long as he lives, there will be more meaningful things to do!
"Uncle, I understand what you think, you have dedicated your life to serving the royal family, and your soul has long been one with this cause. If you lose it, you might as well die, right? I said.
He didn't look up at me, but he didn't contradict me either.
"But I heard Shaoting say that your research for more than 20 years has not yielded nothing, but has produced a lot of discoveries that can benefit the people, right? How can you bear to let these discoveries go down the drain? The research spent in the past 20 years has been all people's fat and people's ointment, shouldn't it be allowed to benefit the people? What would happen to the results if you just died? I said eagerly.
Hearing this, Wang Che seemed to be finally touched, slowly raised his head, looked at me with some hesitation, and said, "Really? Is there anything else anyone needs me to do? ”
"Of course! A must! I replied firmly.
Don't talk much, go straight to the hole! These people who are engaged in scientific research can have their heads broken and bleed, but they regard their research results as greater than the sky! If you don't start from this angle, this is not afraid of death, and I really don't have a problem with him!
"Now Shaoting is determined to come to save you, I won't listen to any persuasion, no matter what, you go out to meet him first, pass on your hard work over the years to him, let him have something to do, and then tell him what you think, let him give up saving you, and then if you want to come back, I promise to send you back!" I patted my chest and said.
Faced with such a two-pronged solution, he thought for a moment and finally nodded.
I was overjoyed, and quickly explained to him like this, this most difficult public relations finally ended smoothly like this! (To be continued.) )
