Chapter 143: Prisoners Should Be Treated Preferentially! It's Huo Yilang who wants to be treated more preferentially
Why did His Majesty send Zhang Tang to investigate Huo Guang's case? It's very simple, it shows that he doesn't intend to deal with Huo Guang.
He was sent to prison just to deal with the ministers who impeached Huo Guang at the court.
Before!
Huo Guang was suspected of being detained by Zhang Tang's faction.
Everyone knows that Huo Guang has a relationship with Doctor Yushi.
In this case.
If it is true to check whether the things that the officials impeached Huo Guang are true, they should avoid suspicion and call the people of the court lieutenant to investigate. Instead of saying, let the imperial historian Zhang Tang himself go to check it himself!
No doubt.
His Majesty didn't intend to deal with Huo Guang at all.
It was precisely because he saw through this that Huo Guang did not feel a trace of panic after he was sent to Chang'an Imperial Prison.
As for Lu Yu beside him, after listening to his words, he learned that Zhang Gong was coming, and immediately said excitedly, "What, Zhang Gong is coming? That's great, I, Lu Yu, am saved. My brother died for Zhang Gong, and Zhang Gong will definitely not die without help!"
Lu Yu at this moment.
It's like a drowning person, who can catch a floating straw in the water, and he will hold on to it.
Therefore, he will not care about his own actions, whether he will drag the rescuer into the water and drown.
Just look at the way he looks!
What Huo Guang said later, asking him not to pester Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang, this guy didn't listen to it at all.
Such people!
Just look at it, and you know it's a pig teammate. If you get close to him, you will definitely end up fooling yourself.
What does that mean?
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!
Seeing this, Huo Guang could only shake his head.
Unconsciously moved his body, it was better to stay away from him!
Looking at the surrounding environment, Huo Guang frowned slightly.
Although I can guess that His Majesty does not intend to punish his own crimes, the question is, how to spend tonight in this rancid prison?
The ancient edict didn't talk to you about human rights.
If you stay here for one night, your life expectancy will be shortened by several days.
"Hey, miserable, I knew the bed when I was sleeping, how should I sleep here!" Huo Guang shook his head, sighed, found a wall that was cleaner than other places, leaned over, closed his eyes and rested.
In such a position, it is impossible to fall asleep.
barely survived the night of the edict.
Next.
The jailer sent a full stomach of food, one for Huo Guang and one for Lu Yu.
There were not many prisoners in the prison.
Like the cell where Huo Guang was, there were only him and Lu Yu.
Because the punishment in ancient times was different from that of modern times. In ancient times, there were only two kinds of prisons detained!
One is the prisoner who is still being interrogated, and the other is the guy who is about to be executed.
There is no such thing as a prison sentence of several years.
After all.
A man must eat, and a prisoner must eat. In ancient times, there was little food, so where was there so much food to feed the prisoners?
Then.
After Lu Yu took the food.
The jailer shouted to Huo Guang, "Huo Yilang, this is your food."
Pity.
Huo Guang was still leaning against the wall, too lazy to pay attention.
Seeing this, Lu Yu hurriedly took Huo Guang's food and said, "Eh, I'll take it for Huo Yilang, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
When the words fell, he smiled and took Huo Guang's food.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Yu couldn't laugh anymore, and shouted to the jailer who turned to leave, "Hey, what do you jailers mean? I, Lu Yu, have been in prison here for so long, and every time it is like pig food. Why did Huo Guang come and he actually had soup cakes to eat?"
During this Han Dynasty.
Don't say it's a prison
, even outside, poor people may not have soup cakes to eat all year round.
Only the powerful can still have this treatment.
Lu Yu was naturally dissatisfied with this vastly different treatment.
However.
The jailer who heard the words, not accustomed to his problem of picking fat and thin, directly took out a stick and shouted, "What do you shout, you shout again, believe it or not, you won't have anything to eat in the future!"
When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately shrank his neck inward, and smiled flatteringly with the jailer: "I didn't shout, I didn't shout, I'll ask!"
"Seeing Huo Yilang eat so well, I'm also very greedy."
"You see, I've been imprisoned in prison for so long, and I've never eaten soup!"
As soon as he heard this, the jailer immediately shouted, "What are you, comparable to Huo Yilang? People are champion brothers, what are you? The soup food was specially ordered by the Captain of the Imperial Court to serve Huo Yilang, and with you, you also deserve to eat the soup food!"
After a call of contempt.
The jailer spat at him before leaving.
Although Lu Yu was angry, he could only endure it.
After seeing the jailer leave, he secretly cursed, "Dog's eyes look at people's low things, phew, a little jailer, what a thing!"
After scolding.
He brought the food to Huo Guang and said flatteringly, "Huo Yilang, eat!"
Huo Guang glanced at Lu Yu with a little disgust, and said speechlessly, "You eat when you eat, what do you say to eat, it's really bad."
Lu Yu smiled innocently and did not make an excuse.
Huo Guang looked at the spittle on his body at this time, Xingzi was still there, and it was hard not to wonder if the jailer had spit into the soup just now.
This food.
He couldn't eat it.
Simply.
As a personal gesture, he looked at Lu Yu and said, "I heard you just now, you haven't eaten soup for a while while when you have been imprisoned in this edict?"
Lu Yu suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Huo Yilang, where have I ever eaten soup, even outside, there are not a few soup cakes to eat."
Lu Yu's brother Lu Yuju!
It's just a history of the imperial historian Zhang Tang's mansion, and the annual income is only 400 stones.
Like Huo Guang, there are as many as 5,000 Lang officials in the palace!
There are 600 stone in a year!
The status of Lu Yu and Huo Guang can be imagined, it is a world of difference.
And the reason for this gap is simply because of the different status of the two brothers.
But.
At this moment, Huo Guang didn't want to criticize any injustice, he just smiled faintly and said, "Since you haven't eaten it, okay, then you can eat this soup of mine!"
Huo Guang's soup food is naturally better than Lu Yu's pig food.
I saw Lu Yu purse his mouth, swallow his saliva, and said, "Huo Yilang, you don't know, there is a lot of famine in this prison. If you don't eat this meal, you won't be hungry tomorrow and won't be able to open your eyes, and that's the case when I first came in. Later, even if it was pig food, I ate it!"
Huo Guang frowned and snorted, "Can I be like you? Oh, my share, you can eat it if you want, put it aside if you don't eat it, don't disturb my rest."
The words fell.
Huo Guang closed his eyes again.
I didn't fall asleep last night, and I'm afraid I still can't sleep today.
And Lu Yu had already begun to eat Huo Guang's soup at this time.
Eating and talking!
"Huo Yilang, na, this is what you said, then I'll eat it!"
"Well, let's eat, let's eat!" Although Huo Guang spoke, his eyes were still closed and he did not look at him.
Huo Guang at this moment.
Thinking about it in my heart, why should I treat myself preferentially?
It doesn't make sense!
I am not familiar with Xuan Xuan.
According to the division given to him by those party officials in the imperial court, he should belong to the faction of Zhang Tang, the imperial historian.
And minus Xuan.
Although he doesn't do anything for Prime Minister Li Cai, he is the opponent of Zhang Tang, the imperial historian.
Or even say...
This reduction is always thinking about putting Zhang Tang to death, and there is no reason to treat himself preferentially.
Could it be?
What news do you want to get out of your own set that is unfavorable to Zhang Tang?
If Huo Guang's guess is right, then this Xuan Xuan will really be disappointed, he doesn't have Zhang Tang's handle.
Unless framed.
Otherwise, with Zhang Tang's stern attitude, how can he give people the opportunity to seize the handle!
Thinking about it.
Soon.
This day is about to pass again, as Na Luyu said, in this Chang'an edict, there is a famine.
The jailer delivers food.
In one day, it was only delivered once.
The rest of the time has to be spent starving, no wonder those who come out of the edict will lose a lot of weight.
It was late in the evening.
The door of the edict opened with a creak, and a middle-aged man with good facial features, with several jailers, walked to the entrance of the cell where Huo Guang was and stopped.
"Open the cell." The middle-aged man said to the jailer.
"No."
When the jailer heard what the man said, he immediately opened the shackles on the cell.
Subsequently.
The middle-aged man walked in, along with the jailer behind him carrying a mat and similar bedding items.
Then.
The middle-aged man looked at Huo Guang and called softly, "Huo Yilang, are you okay?"
Huo Guang had actually heard the movement just now, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Now when he heard people calling his name, he opened his eyes and looked at each other, and when he saw that it was a strange face, he asked, "Who are you?" Come and interrogate my case?"
"But Your Majesty didn't say that!"
"Is my case under the trial of Imperial Doctor Zhang Gong?"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, the man laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Huo Yilang, don't misunderstand, I'm not the one who tried your case."
"Because the conditions of the edict are poor and the night is cold, I will send you a mat and some warm clothes."
"Oh!"
"That's right."
"I almost forgot to introduce myself, in Xia Du Zhou, Nai Tingwei is supervising!"
The three princes and nine qing, the nine of the nine qing, do not refer to the meaning of the nine people.
And the word "Qing" naturally does not just mean an official.
Tingwei belongs to Jiuqing,
Naturally, there is not only one official, in addition to the reduction of the court lieutenant, there is also one person each from the main supervisor, the left and the right history.
How to understand the relationship between the court lieutenant and the supervising officer?
Very simple!
Just like the emperor and the crown prince, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Liu Ju.
If the emperor dies suddenly, then according to the normal logical order, it must be the crown prince who ascends the throne.
Similarly.
If something happens to Xuan Xuan, he is dismissed for violating any law, etc., or if he has made some meritorious service and is promoted, the position of court lieutenant will be vacant. Then later, in the absence of accidents, it must be Du Zhou, the main supervisor.
Huo Guang glanced at Du Zhou, frowned slightly, and asked, "Send the mat?" Clothings? Who means? Zhang Gong?"
Du Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's just that I heard about Huo Yilang's imprisonment, so I made my own opinion!"
"Huo Yilang if you don't need it."
"This overseer shall be taken by his own command."
Don't need it? Huo Guang needed it so much, he spent the night squinting against the wall last night.
Today there is a mat to lie down on, and clothes to protect against the cold.
How could you not?
Forthwith.
Huo Guang smiled and said, "Ahem, if you want it, thank you Du for supervising it." By the way, I don't know if Inspector Du, why do you treat me so kindly, you and I haven't known each other before, right?"
Heard Huo Guang's words.
Du Zhou laughed and said, "Huo
That's not right."
"We all inherit from Zhang Gong's faction, as long as we are our own people, it doesn't matter whether we know each other or not!"
"Alright."
"It's time for me to leave, so I won't disturb Huo Yilang's rest."
The words fell.
Du Zhou, a middle-aged man, smiled at Huo Guang and walked out.
Leaving Huo Guang in the cell was slightly unhappy.
It would be fine if Du Zhou didn't mention Zhang Gong, but he beat himself into Zhang Gong's faction, and he asked for the mat and clothes he sent.
This feeling.
It's like eating something, it's uncomfortable! ap.
And Lu Yu on the side, still unable to understand the current situation, said to Huo Yilang complimentingly: "Huo Yilang is really powerful, he has entered the Chang'an Imperial Prison, and the court lieutenant and the supervising officer take turns to deliver food and clothing, which is really enviable!"
Enviable?
Scold!
Even if Lu Yu, a fool, would say such things, smart people know that no one will be good to them for no reason!
There must have been a plan.
Men are good to women, it's just a matter of trying to figure out their bodies.
Men are good to men?
That's definitely the figure of interest...
What is there to do with Huo Guang? Naturally, it is the brother behind it, and the relationship network of the general Wei Qing.
He had no way of knowing what was going on.
But this Du Zhou.
Huo Guang really didn't want to have anything to do with this person.
This person is Zhang Tang's most famous lackey, acting in the style of Zhang Tang, but without Zhang Tang's incorruptibility.
The level of corruption!
It can even be compared to the Heshen of later dynasties.
This kind of person, to be honest, is ashamed of Huo Guang. He is an official for one term, and that is the scourge party.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lu Yu on the side was already very "sensible" to lay out the mat for him.
Seeing this, this scene.
Huo Guang didn't say a word, and said to him, "Eh, Lu Yu, who asked you to help me." I'll tell you, food can be given to you, but you can stay away from the place where you sleep. I don't have that dragon impotence, you know?"
Lu Yu immediately smiled embarrassedly and said, "Look at what Huo Yilang said, Lu doesn't have that habit, he just lays a mat for you."
"If I have a chance to go out in the future."
"Huo Yilang can remember my goodness, as long as it."
Hearing Lu Yu's statement, Huo Guang nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's pretty much the same."
"Alright!"
"I'll do it myself..."
「......」
In this way, Huo Guang spent another difficult night in the edict prison. Although he was more comfortable leaning against the wall than the night before, Huo Guang still didn't fall asleep.
First, I was hungry.
Second, it's still that problem, recognize the bed.
By the next day, Huo Guang already had panda eyes, and his eye circles were very dark.
But here's the good news.
The court lieutenant who didn't have any friendship with him still sent the jailer to bring a soup and food.
This.
Huo Guang, who was already hungry with his chest against his back, couldn't care so much at the moment, so he started eating directly.
In a flash.
It's like eating something delicious in the world.
What's the point of saying a meme? When people are hungry, there is only one desire, and that is to eat!
Huo Guang's brain is empty now, and he is thinking about cooking!
This way.
He was gobbling up the soup when the door creaked open at the end of the corridor of the edict.
An old man, surrounded by the jailers, walked in.
Wait until these people are near.
Huo Guang found that the old man who was surrounded by many jailers was Zhang Tang, the imperial historian who was the third prince in the court.
"Huo Yilang, don't come here to be harmed, right?
Zhang Tang asked with a smile.
However.
Huo Guang didn't pay attention to it, he was cooking by himself.
Lu Yu, who was on the side, was excited when he saw Zhang Tang, and shouted, "Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong, you are finally here!"
"It's me, it's me, I'm Lu Yuju's younger brother, Lu Yu!"
"Gong Zhang, when can you get me out?"
Lu Yu looked excited.
Pity.
Zhang Tang didn't look at him squarely.
Still looking at Huo Guang with a smile, he said, "Huo Yilang is not in a hurry, eat slowly, eat slowly!"
