30, Zheng Yushi went to death (ask for follow-up)
……
Since Master Su left the prison, the cell on Xu Xing's left has been empty.
It wasn't until yesterday that a convict was brought in.
This prisoner's surname is Tian, and he is the general sentence of Ruzhou, and I heard that he missed the time when he escorted the food and salary to the imperial army, so that the imperial army was defeated, so he was personally questioned by the Qin and escorted to Shenjing to wait for the punishment department to deal with.
Tian Tong's face was sallow, unkempt, and his spirit was worse than before Xu Xing after he was imprisoned.
At first glance, it was a long-distance escort and lost half of his life.
Xu Xing was also happy to do good deeds, and as he had done with Master Su and Chang Ji before, he gave Tian Tong some meat every day.
The day after Tian Tong was sentenced to prison.
That is, the fifth day after Princess Anren's wedding.
In the B-shaped cell separated from Xu Xing by a wall, a shrill eunuch's voice suddenly came.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zheng Changshan, the criminal official, corrupt the law, privately accepting bribes, secretly camping soldiers, intending to rebel against the ......, reading Zheng Changshan's appointment as an official of the imperial history platform has many achievements, repeatedly put forward criticism, meritorious service to the country, do not raze the three clans, only give the dove to die, the male flow of 3,000 miles, the female dependents into the ...... of the sect, Qin this!"
B 32, cell.
The python eunuch closed the long note of singing the holy decree, and lowered his voice a little, "Lord Zheng, take the decree." ”
He rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Zheng Changshan.
Seeing that Zheng Yushi refused to accept the holy decree, the python eunuch sighed, "Lord Zheng, you know the temper of the emperor, you can play at other times, not on the day of the princess's wedding." ”
"The Emperor...... It's quite restrained. ”
He said in a deep voice.
Zheng Yushi was shocked when he heard this.
The python eunuch is a close confidant of Emperor Chongming, and the palm print eunuch Li Enlu.
Li Enlu has a good reputation in the government and the opposition, is not greedy, dirty, does not form a party, does not engage in personal interests, and is blameless in personal morality. When the scholars outside the court scolded the eunuchs, they would deliberately not mention the name of the eunuch Li Enlu.
Similarly, Lee Eun-ro is notoriously good at talking.
Now ......, Li Enlu said that the "emperor" is quite restrained, and the implication is that if he does not give Emperor Chongming a satisfactory answer, he will not be the only one who will die.
"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. ”
Zheng Yushi smiled reluctantly, kowtowed three times to the south, and received the order.
To the south, is the direction where the crape myrtle hall of the imperial palace is located.
Not much.
Only Zheng Yushi and a bottle of dove wine on a lacquered wooden tray remained in room 32.
"Woohoo! Alas! ”
"I Zheng Changshan studied hard for thirteen years, entered the Shangshu Provincial Rite Department Examination at the age of twenty, won the Tanhualang, served as the secretary Lang at the age of twenty-one, and was appreciated by the emperor, and entered the Imperial History Platform at the age of twenty-seven and served as the ...... of the Imperial History"
"After decades of ups and downs, I didn't expect to end up like this."
Zheng Yushi raised the dove wine, and Gu Ying felt sorry for himself.
It's been safe for most of my life, who knows...... When I was getting old, I was impulsive once.
However, at this very moment.
There was a noise on a wall near where he was sitting.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
It's like knocking on the door.
Zheng Yushi subconsciously approached the wall painted with clam ash.
"Lord Zheng."
"But what are your last words?"
"The lower official can pass the ...... on your behalf"
Next door, a young man's voice was heard.
"You are?"
Zheng Yushi frowned.
He didn't expect that the sound insulation of the prison was so poor, and the partition wall had ears.
"I'm also a prisoner of Kansai Province."
"Lord Wen speaks up for righteousness......"
"Although Xia Guan doesn't have the ability to rescue Lord Zheng, it is not a problem to help Lord Zheng do what he can......"
Xu Xing did not intend to reveal his true identity to Zheng Yushi.
There is not so much harmony between their "sons-in-law". If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Yushi was about to die, ...... otherwise, if there was a chance in the future, he wouldn't mind responding to Zheng Yushi. After all, according to custom, although he has not yet arrived at the door of the Zheng family to deliver the letter of appointment, he can be regarded as the son-in-law of the Zheng family.......
But the Zheng family was good, they ignored him, and they didn't go to the prison to visit him .......
But—
In any case, Zheng Yushi died for the millions of victims of the Kansai Province.
Those who hold salaries for everyone must not be frozen to death in the wind and snow!
This should be the most simple concept.
"The old man died a well-deserved death!"
"A hundred years later, the fathers and elders will erect a monument for their own officials and spurn the ...... of the court."
Zheng Yushi was still a little sad in his heart, but when he heard Xu Xing's words, he suddenly felt that he had done nothing wrong in his death, and it was a meaningful thing.
A person,
Died in obscurity.
It's not the same as the death of a hundred generations.
"The old man doesn't have any last words."
"There is only one regret, and that is to be ashamed of ...... relatives"
"It is the old man's fault to achieve my reputation alone, and to let my relatives end up so bleakly. I have a separate house in Changle Fang, Shenjing, which has 3,000 taels of silver, and I exchange letters with relatives and friends. ”
"The silver should be a reward for you, and the supple ......, please take this suppen and go to the old man's relatives and friends to see if you can save the old man's relatives."
Zheng Yushi said word by word.
He spoke very slowly, just to let Xu Xing hear clearly.
After Xu Xing gave him an accurate answer, he no longer hesitated, and drank the dove wine on his back.
……
There was no sound from cell B.
Xu Xing withdrew his ear that was attached to the wall.
He is separated by a wall from Zheng Yushi, and he has internal strength, so he is much brighter than ordinary people, and he can't hear clearly. Therefore, there is no need to worry about being heard by others what Zheng Yushi said.
It's just that in the T-shaped prison, someone heard his words.
Wu Shuban arched his hand to Xu Xing, "Lord Xu can ignore his past suspicions, and he is willing to pass on his last words for Lord Zheng, a little admiration." ”
Shenjing is huge, but it's not big.
In the first few days of Xu Xing's imprisonment, many prison officials were still worried about Zheng Yushi's .......
After all, Xu Xing and Zheng Yushi have a relationship.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yushi didn't ask about this matter at all, and this matter became a joke among the prison officials after dinner. One laugh, Zheng Yushi saw the wind and the rudder, and the other smiled Xu Xing raised his eyes without relatives.
"It's just a momentary soft-heartedness."
Xu Xing shook his head, not wanting to say more.
Seeing this, Wu Shuban stopped interjecting.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Xu Xing opened his mouth, "My arithmetic book has been written, and there is no need to send pen and paper in the future. ”
At the beginning, he asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which was to facilitate the cheating of the copy world.
Now, with the white life grid [Erudite and Strong] and [Wenchang], his progress in learning literature is almost unforgettable, and he no longer needs to spend painstaking efforts to copy the eight-strand model text.
Therefore, the current paper, ink, pen and inkstone are completely useless.
On the contrary, it is not a good thing to have an extra Wu Shuban to obstruct his eyes.
The prison was soon restored to cleanliness.
Wu Shuban also wished to leave the ghost place of Tianjiao Prison as soon as possible.
At night.
Tian Tong, who was imprisoned, took the initiative to open his mouth.
And Xu Xing ......,
I've been waiting for a long time.
