Chapter 624: Wei Qing Provincial Relatives
Tingwei Prison can be called the most terrifying place in the Han Dynasty.
Even if it is a relative of the emperor and the marquis, when he comes here, his eyes will tremble.
Zhou Bo, who launched the extermination of the Lu clan and even manipulated the Son of Heaven to abolish power, was also tossed enough when he entered here, and left a famous saying for the ages.
Although the jailer does not enter the stream, in the prison he controls life and death, like a king.
He Ergeng is a cell leader in the prison, responsible for guarding the gate of the prison and controlling the power to enter and exit.
He sat cross-legged on the straw mat and carefully counted the brand-new Zhongshan-made copper coins in his hand.
"One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred."
After counting the copper coins in the cloth bag, there were two hundred coins in total, that is, one thousand coins, one penny.
"The Luhou family is also in decline." Shaking the money bag in his hand, He Ergeng sighed more than once, "The dignified county marquis, you can only take out a penny to send things to relatives, and the family road is no longer good." ”
He was in charge of the gate, and if the prisoner's family wanted to visit him, or if he wanted to bring wine, meat, bedding and other items to the prisoner, he had to pass through his hands.
If He Ergeng disagrees, then he can't get in.
This is a real fat poor, with this dispatch, he has already bought a large mansion in Changlingyi, and also bought several servants and maids.
Don't look at the gate here, but when you go home, you are also a comfortable character.
The sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and He Ergeng looked up and saw a team of heavily armed knights roaring through the streets, heading straight for Tingwei's prison.
In Chang'an City, it is necessary to have vision.
He Ergeng carefully observed the back flag, and was shocked to realize that this was actually the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan Kingdom.
The fact that King Zhongshan was about to be canonized as the crown prince was not a secret to well-informed people like He Ergeng.
He hurriedly got up and tried to meet him, but the knights ignored him and rode directly into the front yard of the prison.
This shocked He Ergeng.
For many years, no one dared to be so presumptuous in this court lieutenant prison!
"Who's coming, this is Tingwei Prison!"
Li Yunze, who rushed to the front, restrained the horse and turned around in a circle.
His eyes fell on He Ergeng's body, and he was about to ask where Zhang Tang was, but he was stunned to see a bearded man walking out of the entrance of the prison with a belt on his face.
Li Yunze, who frowned, waved his horsewhip, "Who are you?!" ”
When the man looked up, he saw a group of knights surrounding him, his frightened hands trembled, he couldn't hold his belt, and his pants fell and were directly exposed.
Li Yunze, whose face sank, asked again, "Who are you?!" ”
The man who hurriedly picked up his pants hurriedly responded, "Contemptible Ji Liang, who sells dog meat in the west market of Chang'an City."
"Why are you going in and out of the prison so casually?"
Without waiting for Ji Liang to reply, He Ergeng had already rushed over and stopped in front of Li Yunze's horse, "This general, this is the Tingwei prison, I want to play prestige and go back to your barracks!" ”
Li Yunze ignored him, staring at the dog meat seller, "Say!" ”
"General!"
He Ergeng, who had a black face, said sharply: "Tingwei Prison is not a place for you to show your majesty!?" ”
A horsewhip whipped He Ergeng to the ground, and Li Yunze stared at Ji Liang and asked, "Ask you one last time, say!" ”
At this time, the cell guards in the courtyard were already clamoring one after another, and many people drew their weapons and surrounded them.
'Choking~~~'
There was a dense sound of drawing swords, and the cavalry who followed Li Yunze quickly took out their weapons and prepared to meet them.
Here, Ji Liang was already scared and was about to pee his pants.
Although as a butcher, he has a lot of courage, but the scene in front of him really scared him.
Ji Liang responded tremblingly, "General, the general spares his life." The contemptible just paid to come to the women's prison to enjoy it, and the contemptible person paid the money, and paid it."
Li Yunze, whose face was as heavy as water, looked at the place where Ji Liang came out, and then swept around the fierce cell guards.
Turning his head to look at Wei Qing behind him, "Kill them all!" ”
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, "Oh!" ”
The cavalrymen quickly rode their horses and ran, their sabers whistling by, and the heads of the cell guards flew with them.
He Ergeng was frightened, he stumbled towards the door, and let out a terrible scream in his mouth, "Rebellion, there is a rebellion?!" ”
Behind him there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the scene in front of him suddenly spun rapidly.
When the head landed, He Ergeng was stunned to see a headless body not far away and fall to the ground with a fountain of blood, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
Since the construction of the Tingwei Prison was completed, there has never been such a tragic situation.
A group of fully armored cavalrymen slaughtered all the cell bosses and jailers in the courtyard, and the courtyard was like a Shura field.
However, this is not over, when all the cell guards in the courtyard fell to the ground, Wei Qing looked at Li Yunze.
Immediately, he saw Li Yunze stretch out his hand and pointed to the entrances of several doors leading to the cell.
The cavalry dismounted one after another, leaving a group of people to guard Li Yunze, and the rest of the people were in units, with shields in the front row and knives in the back row, followed by those with strong crossbows and poured into the prison.
In a short time, terrible screams were heard from all over the prison.
Li Yunze has so much experience, and after going through so many worlds, of course he knows what the prisons of the past dynasties are like.
The prisons of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties were all generally pitch black, the kind that could not see the five fingers.
As long as you look at the non-human beast Li Kui who was born as a jailer, you can know how frustrated these cell bosses and jailers are.
More than a quarter of an hour passed, and the cavalry who had rushed into the prison gradually retreated.
The original bright armor on their bodies was already dyed with many colors at this time, and the most common was a dazzling crimson.
The cell boss was a large number of jailers, and he could fight against heavily armed sergeants, and the outcome was predestined from the beginning.
The soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom strictly carried out the orders of the king.
Whether these cell bosses are desperately resisting, begging and crying, or running away for mercy, it is all the same result.
The king issued a military order to kill them all, then they must be killed, otherwise they will disobey the military order!
Here in Dahan, there is only one end for disobeying military orders.
Wei Qing and the others helped Zhang Tang out of the prison.
Zhang Tang, who had not seen the sun for a long time, was pale.
After coming out, he was not used to the bright sunshine, and Zhang Tang involuntarily closed his eyes.
After relieving for a while, Zhang Tang, who opened his eyes, immediately saw Li Yunze standing in front of him.
"King!?"
"You've suffered." Li Yunze held Zhang Tang's hands and nodded vigorously, "Superfluous words, this king won't say much." This king will play a sloppy order, and ask Your Majesty to make you a court lieutenant. As for the previous Ting Lieutenant"
Li Yunze turned his head to look at Wei Qing, who was standing aside, "Go to the Tingwei Mansion and tell him that before the sun sets, he will apologize for his sins, and this matter will end here." If not, then hit the road with the whole family! ”
"Whoa!"
Regarding Li Yunze's request, Liu Qi, the son of heaven on the sickbed, immediately agreed.
Before dark, the Huangmen squire sent all the funeral utensils to the Tingwei's Mansion, and many ministers who got the news also rushed to the Tingwei's Mansion to start crying.
At this point, what else can Ting Wei do?
Although everyone already knows how many years of the disadvantages of the prison has been handed down, who made him unlucky to catch up.
Early the next morning, when the former Tingwei 'died of a violent illness', Zhang Tang took office and took up the post of Tingwei.
Li Yunze will not interfere in the follow-up affairs of the Tingwei Yamen, that is Zhang Tang's job.
Li Yunze also believes that with Zhang Tang's ability, he will definitely be able to arrange it properly.
After leaving a guard Zhang Tang and a box of gold coins, Li Yunze gave everyone a day off and instructed the army to start tomorrow.
One day off is not much, and most people choose to stay in the camp to rest.
But there are a lot of people who go out.
For example, the master father Yan and others naturally don't need to say much about going to Ma Zhangtai, but Wei Qing came to the Pingyang Hou Mansion here.
Looking at the Hou Mansion in front of him, Wei Qing's expression was a little complicated.
Before he went to Pingyang County to join Zheng Ji, he lived here.
Reminiscing about the past, Wei Qing took a deep breath and walked in.
Of course, he is not qualified to go through the gate, the gate of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is usually only opened to greet the Empress Dowager of the Son of Heaven, and Li Yunze will also open the door to greet him if he comes.
The side door is not good, and Wei Qing at this time can only go to the corner door, which is where the servants enter and exit.
After entering the house, I met a lot of acquaintances, after all, I grew up here.
A few words of greeting if the relationship is good, say hello if the relationship is average, and sneer at the bad relationship.
"Can't go on, and you're back?"
"After all, he is a wild child, and it is common for people not to want him."
"When I come back this time, I have to beg his sister to go to the steward to dredge up and eat in the house."
In the face of ridicule, Wei Qing seemed to be unaware, and came all the way to the place where the servants lived.
"Big Mother!"
Seeing Wei Yuan who was washing clothes, Wei Qing's eyes were sour, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Wei Qing?" Wei Yuan, whose hair was already gray, was surprised when she saw her son fall in front of her, "Why did you come back?" ”
The servants who were washing clothes nearby all gathered around and asked Wei Qing why he came back.
Wei Qing's sisters also walked out of the room, and they were all overjoyed to see Wei Qing.
Wei Qing is the son of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, just like the slave of the Jia family in the Dream of Red Mansions, no matter the children have been the slaves of the Pingyang Hou Mansion for generations.
Looking at the group of relatives in front of him, Wei Qing, who had a calm personality, also had red eyes.
The hardships of the past few years are really hard to describe.
recounted what happened to Zheng Ji's family, and everyone was indignant.
Wei Yuan directly put the clothes in her hand still in the basin, "Old thief! Old thief! I'm really blind, how could I have fallen in love with this old thief in the first place! ”
Wei Zifu and others stepped forward to comfort Wei Qing, and Wei Shao'er also said that he would go to the steward to dredge it up, and he would stay in the house to do things in the future, at least he would be able to eat a full meal.
"I'm in the army." Feeling the care of his family, Wei Qing took out a cloth bag from his arms with a red face and handed it to Wei Yuan, "Mother, this is a reward from the king, you and your sisters should use it." ”
Wei Yuan didn't hold it steady when she opened the cloth bag, and the gold coins in the bag fell to the ground with a clatter, shocking everyone's attention.
"This, this, this"
Wei Yuan was shocked: "This is the gold coin of Zhongshan Kingdom?" Where did you come from, didn't you become a thief? ”
"Mother, how can Qing be a thief, this is the king's reward."
"The king? Which king? ”
Wei Qing said proudly: "The master of my family is the king of Zhongshan, yes!" ”
