In mid-September, the division of the Fourth Army of the Japanese Army, which went to the four southeastern counties to suppress the rebellion, returned to the DPRK and brought Fang La, the biggest prisoner of the trip, back to the capital to offer prisoners.

In front of the Bianjing Gate, Emperor Song personally accepted the sacrifice of prisoners.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Duan did not have Fang La executed on the spot, but temporarily detained him in the prison of the Imperial City Division.

No one knew what he wanted to do, but it didn't matter anymore, the chaos in the four southeastern counties had been calmed down, the imperial court had received enough taxes, and Fang La's rebellion had been cleaned up.

Many local forces in the local area have been uprooted, and there has been a power vacuum, and the imperial court has immediately taken out enough manpower to fill these power vacuums as if they had been prepared for a long time.

This time, the imperial court completely planted its own nails in the southeast, and the four southeastern counties, which had almost listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, returned to the control of the imperial court again.

Late at night, in the prison of the Imperial City Division.

From time to time, the sound of water droplets from the top of the cell condensed from the top of the cell fell to the ground, and the sound echoed so that the whole cell could hear it clearly.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

This silent place, where there is no sound except for the sound of water droplets, is the deepest part of the Imperial City Division's prison, the dark prison!

This is the third basement floor, there is only one way to enter, and the entrance is guarded by one of the most elite brigades in the Imperial City Division, no one can escape from here, and no one can come here to rob the prison!

Since its establishment, all the prisoners who have been held here have been the most heinous criminals, and once they enter this place, they will never have a chance to live.

Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang!

A small iron cabinet was lowered from the patio above, and as the box fell to the ground, there was a sound of chains.

The pavilion box was opened from the inside, and Zhao Duan walked out of it slowly with a calm face.

He didn't take anyone with him, and Cao Shuang was also left on it, so he walked alone step by step in this dark prison.

The dungeon is very dark, located on the third basement floor, and only a few oil lamps made of everlasting lamps provide some light.

It's been a long time since the dungeon has been used, and now there is only one prisoner in the entire dungeon.

That was Fang La, who had just been escorted back.

Zhao Duan walked all the way, his footsteps were not slow, and there were bursts of crackling footsteps in the entire dark prison.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, a figure with a draped head heard the voice and suddenly raised its head.

He keenly noticed that the footsteps should not be the caretaker who brought him food.

Rather, an unfamiliar voice.

As if thinking of something, Fang La's expression moved, but he didn't get up, he still sat in place, but the corners of his mouth had involuntarily raised an arc.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Finally, as the footsteps got closer and closer, finally stopping in front of his cell, a figure appeared in Fang La's sight.

This person is none other than Emperor Zhao Duan of the Song Dynasty!

"You're here?"

Fang La said hello calmly, he didn't look like a thief leader who had been caught by the ruler of the dynasty, but like he had met an old friend.

"Well, here I am, and I've brought you some food and drinks."

Zhao Duan said and raised a food box in his hand, and he actually brought a food box in!

As he spoke, he heard two clicks, and Zhao Duan directly opened the door of the secret prison, and he immediately walked in and sat cross-legged in front of Fang La, and personally put a plate of dishes and a pot of good daughter red in front of Fang La.

"Eat, it's all good."

handed Fang La a pair of chopsticks with his own hands, and Zhao Duan sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at him.

Fang La was not polite, took the chopsticks and picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

The dishes are very rich, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, beef, mutton, donkey meat, etc., it can be said that there is everything in meat, all of which are hard dishes!

Eating the meat in a big gulp, he slapped open the red mud seal of his daughter, picked it up and poured it in a big gulp, and after a long time, he burped and threw the wine jar on the ground, and said comfortably!

He ignored Zhao Duan and continued to eat in large gulps, until after eating all the things that Zhao Duan brought over, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, raised his head and looked at Zhao Duan, who had been watching him eat, and asked, "How is it?" The southeast is stable, right? ”

Zhao Duan nodded: "Although they haven't completely taken it back, they have basically been controlled, their local power base was killed by you and suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court carried the power to defeat you to establish its authority in the local area, and planted so many people."

Today's southeast can be said to be back in the control of the imperial court. ”

Fang La nodded: "That's good, Da Song's stubborn illness has been removed again, and it is not in vain for the two of us to plan like this." ”

If these simple words of the two were heard by people from the outside world, they might be shocked by what kind of chaos they would become, and Fang La's rebellion, which caused heavy losses to the southeastern gentry, was actually conspired with today!

And they managed to achieve their goal!

With this incident, the imperial court regained control of the four southeastern counties that were gradually breaking away from the control of the imperial court!

And also carried out a clean-up operation against the local gentry and officials!

Zhao Duan was silent for a while, and then suddenly said:

"I can't save you.

The matter in the southeast is so big, someone must die, and you are the best candidate, you are the leader of the anti-thieves, and no one can let you go. ”

Fang La smiled and said indifferently: "I already knew, didn't I?"

Since I chose to do this, I will definitely be ready to accept the results in the future, and there is nothing to be sad about.

Since my father and mother were forced to death by that group of gentry, I have only lived for revenge in this life.

I also have to thank Your Majesty for giving me such an opportunity.

Do you know how many gentry officials I killed in the southeast this time?

Tens of thousands!

Most of the landlords and gentry in Sunan County were killed by my whole family, and as long as the officials of the common people were identified by the people, I did not let go of any of them.

Coupled with northern Jiangsu, Yanjiang, and Haifu, 10,000 people are counted as less, and I suspect that I have killed hundreds of thousands of people, but I can't count it anymore.

I'm worth it, I exchanged my life for so many beasts to accompany the funeral, I don't lose it! Hahaha!! ”

As he spoke, Fang La laughed happily.

Looking at Fang La, who was laughing heartily, Zhao Duan sighed, recalling the lifeless look in the young man's eyes when he sneaked to the four southeastern counties when he was still a prince and saw this young man who got up from the pile of dead people when he passed by a mass grave.

Let's take a look at this Fang La, who is full of relief and joy now.

Oh, yes!

What is the man who can crawl out of the underworld for?

Isn't it revenge?

Now that the goal has been achieved, what does he have to regret?

Zhao Duan stood up, three days, I can still press for three days at most, and after three days, I will behead you at the noon gate to set an example.

You can spend the remaining three days well, and if you want to eat something, you can tell the Imperial City Division, I have already ordered them, and they will bring it to you.

"Enough, enough. That's enough. ”

Fang La stopped laughing, nodded, and sat back on the ground, his eyes gradually becoming hollow as if he had fallen into a memory.

Zhao Duan sighed, turned around and walked out of the prison door, and did not close the door, so he walked out.

With the sound of clattering footsteps, the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Fang La, who was caught in his memory, turned his head to look at the figure of Zhao Duan leaving, suddenly showed a smile, and muttered softly: "See you in the next life, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

The memory seems to go back to that evening in a flash.

In the dim sky, vultures hovered in the sky, and a few crows quacked on the branches.

And he was covered in blood and had just woken up from suspended animation, crawled out of the pile of corpses, and bumped into the handsome young man who was passing by the mass grave and was looking at him with a shocked face......
