Volume 1, Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 121, Life and Death
[The 30th day of the first month of the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the time of Chenshi, the edict of Tsing Yi Wei Prison]
Xu Ke and Murong Yan had breakfast, and then came to the No. 11 cell of the Imperial Prison. Xu Ke saw that Li Junxian was leaning on the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother Junxian, we have come to see you......! Can you go to the ground?"
Li Junxian opened his eyes and saw that it was Xu Ke, and he also smiled and said: "Little brother, thanks to you! Junxian is already intact......
Xu Ke pulled "Murong Huan" and was about to introduce Li Junxian, but as soon as Li Junxian saw "Murong Huan" walking to him, he immediately got up and got out of bed, and eagerly clasped his fists and saluted: "Murong Shaoxia, why are you?"
Xu Ke was about to step forward to make a statement, but he saw that "Murong Huan" waved his hand at him, blinked again, and said in a deep voice to Li Junxian: "I'll come to see you...... Jun Xian, why haven't you seen you for a few years, you are a good general, but you have become a prisoner?"
Li Junxian smiled bitterly: "Let Murong Shaoxia see and laugh, Junxian was confused for a while, and lost his words after drinking, so that he was imprisoned...... Ahem! It's too late to cherish the ambition of the family and the country!"
"Murong Huan" quipped again: "However, I think you are staying well in this edict, and now, your body is also fattened and your complexion is ruddy...... You want to hide in prison from now on and not go out, do you?"
Li Junxian hurriedly said: "Murong Shaoxia! Junxian is fortunate to see you fight against the frosty old monster in the battle of Zhuozhou six years ago and save my 200,000 cadres. The demeanor of the young man, Jun Xian has always remembered in his heart. Today, Meng Shaoxia personally went to the edict prison to point out the envy...... Jun Xian's heart is reckless, and he blindly begged for death before, how wrong it is! Jun Xian realized today, Hu Yu has not been eliminated, and the strong enemy has not been destroyed, how dare Jun Xian easily say death......
"Murong Huan" turned to Xu Ke and "giggled" and said, "Brother Wu, how is it? Yan'er's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world, right? Even General Li has been deceived by me!"
"Yan'er, amazing!" Xu Ke smiled.
This time, it was Li Junxian's turn to be confused, and he heard that the "Murong Huan" in front of him suddenly changed to a woman's voice, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Xu Ke hurriedly hugged his fist at Li Junxian, and said apologetically: "Brother Junxian, don't blame, junior brother will be honest with you, the one who came to see you today is not Murong Huan, the second son of Tianbao Pavilion, but Murong Huan's sister, her name is Murong Yan." Today, she skillfully used the art of disguise and came to the edict to rescue you from prison...... Yan'er ...... Come, I've seen Brother Junxian!"
Murong Yan also hurriedly saluted Li Junxian and said, "Little girl Murong Yan, I have seen Brother Junxian!
Li Junxian came back to his senses at this time, he couldn't help but subconsciously touch his nose, and said: "It turned out to be Miss Murong, fortunately!
Although Murong Yan just made a small joke with him casually, in Li Junxian's mind, it once again strengthened his ambition to serve the battlefield and his determination to survive, which Murong Yan never expected......
At that moment, Xu Ke briefly told Li Junxian about the plan he had discussed with Li Chunfeng. After Li Junxian nodded, he asked worriedly: "Little brother, that Sun Xun's body should be in the morgue now." But it's all dead people there, rotten and yin, I don't think Miss Murong will go......"
Xu Ke also felt that Li Junxian's words were reasonable, but there were many defenses in the edict prison, and how to transport a corpse from the morgue to this No. 11 cell really made everyone hesitate. In the end, Xu Ke patted his head and said: "No matter, it's a great coincidence! I am the chief official of this edict, so I directly ordered someone to move the corpse, and I don't care what he does!"
Murong Yan also clapped her hands and said, "Brother Wuzhi is right! if you hide it and steal a corpse, you will have to pass through so many gates along the way, and it will make people suspicious!"
Although Li Junxian was worried, he couldn't think of a better way. At that moment, Xu Ke walked to the duty room of the guards outside the prison, waved his hand and called the two guards, and ordered them to go to the morgue to directly move Sun Xun's body here.
The two guards heard the order of the Lord of the Hundred Households, although they had doubts in their hearts, but they dared to ask more, so they answered.
Half a moment later, two guards wrapped Sun Xun's body in a body bag and carried it to Xu Ke's approach. Xu Ke carried it with one hand and was about to walk into cell No. 11, but suddenly heard a person behind him ask, "Huh...... Xu Baihu, what are you doing with Sun Xun's corpse?"
When Xu Ke heard the man's voice, he immediately cried out in distress. He had no choice but to put down the body bag, turned to the man and saluted, "It's Yang Qianhu! How can Yang Qianhu have time to come to the edict prison to check?"
The person who came was Yang Wenyuan, the new inspector of thousands of households. At this time, he was wearing a new indigo blue falcon pattern four-grade official uniform, his face was full of smugness and high spirits, and when he saw Xu Ke, he only arched his hand slightly, which was regarded as a return of courtesy. He said casually:
"Xu Baihu, this thousand households are patrolling, going back and forth to various divisions and battalions of Tsing Yi Wei, inspecting and inspecting, asking about deficiencies and preventing leaks, which is the responsibility of this thousand households......! Your edict of Xu Baihu, can't this thousand households come to see it?"
Xu Ke hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Where is Yang Qianhu! Lord Qianhu can come to my edict prison to inspect, it is really Xu's luck! Just ask Yang Qianhu to check it out, if you have leisure for a while, you might as well go to Xu's official room to sit and taste a cup of Xu's Huayu tea, it's a good ?......."
Yang Wenyuan was also a little surprised to see that Xu Ke was so humble and polite today. This also made him more and more aware of the "supreme fun" brought by the promotion, and at that moment, he walked up to Xu Ke, patted Xu Ke's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Eh, Brother Xu, today you can call Shengfen! What 'thousands of households', call me'
You and I are brothers, this time, Wen Yuan received the emperor's grace, and he was just promoted to a higher level. In the future, Wen Yuan will want Brother Xu to support and take care of him!"
"Well said, well said...... Brother Wen Yuan, you are busy first, brother, I will go first, remember to come and sit in my office in a while, my flower rain tea can be prepared for Brother Wen Yuan!" Xu Ke replied with a smile. The two waved goodbye in a smiling and harmonious atmosphere and went their separate ways......
Yang Wenyuan took a few steps, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. He suddenly thought of the reason, so he immediately stopped Xu Ke, and asked: "Brother Xu, I heard those two guards say that you ordered them to move Sun Xun's body, but Yang wanted to ask, what do you want Sun Xun's body to do?"
At this time, he had no choice but to turn around and say, "Don't hide it from Brother Wenyuan, did Xu order someone to move this Sun Xun's body, but ...... It's for the sake of investigating the case!"
Now that the emperor has decreed that the case will be closed, tomorrow Sun Xun's entire family will be dragged outside the noon gate and beheaded, what kind of case can you investigate?" Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but wonder.
Xu Ke had no choice but to continue to bite the bullet and say: "Brother Wen Yuan, although the emperor has decreed that the case will be closed. Why did Sun Xun die so suddenly? I heard that there was a little leader named 'Xiao Jiannan' who was poisoned on the spot by a bowl of white porridge that he himself sent. Later, some people saw that Xiao Jiannan was 'deceiving the corpse and returning the soul' in my edict prison! There must be a lot of hidden secrets in this...... Judging from the absence of disease, there may be a master behind this Sun Xun. I moved Sun Xun's body today to take a closer look, perhaps...... Maybe I'll be able to see the clue......"
"Isn't this Sun Xun just being ......," Yang Wenyuan stopped when he said it. He said in his heart, who doesn't know that Sun Xun was stabbed to death by your sword! Shen Du supervised you, and the emperor didn't punish you, that was your Xu Ketian's great luck! Now you have to check yourself, are you full of food or crazy?!
However, Yang Wenyuan was a suspicious person after all, he thought about it, how could a person as smart as Xu Ke do such a stupid thing?" "Could it be that Sun Xun's death really had another cause of death?" Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He thought about it carefully, although he judged that Sun Xun must have died at the hands of Xu Ke, it was nothing more than based on the confession of the guards and the sword wound on Sun Xun's body. After all, no one had seen Xu Ke kill Sun Xun in person, and besides, that sword wound, who knew if it had been faked?
Thinking of this section, Yang Wenyuan immediately couldn't sit still, and he naturally wanted to immediately return to his master, Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi.
"Okay, good, Brother Xu, you have to check it out carefully! Although the emperor has decreed that the case will be closed, if you can find out new clues, Brother Xu will also be a great achievement!" Yang Wenyuan immediately changed his tone and smiled slightly.
"Okay, brother, I'll go get busy......" Xu Ke replied, then picked up Sun Xun's body bag again and turned away.
Seeing Xu Ke carrying the body bag and walking towards the prison, Yang Wenyuan had the heart to follow him inside to take a look, but as soon as he thought of facing the dead, he felt bad luck in his heart, and besides, it was still Sun Xun's corpse. When Sun Xun was alive, he didn't suffer less from his sins every day. Now, if he really wants to face Sun Xun's corpse, he Yang Wenyuan's heart has some fear for no reason......
It wasn't until Yang Wenyuan left the edict that Xu Ke carried Sun Xun's body bag into cell No. 11. Xu Ke opened the body bag and, together with Li Junxian, placed Sun Xun's body on the ground. Speaking of which, it has been two days since Sun Xun died, perhaps because of the cold weather, and there is no sign on his body. Although the guards disposed of his body briefly, they could still see that he was covered with wounds, his legs were broken, his leg bones were exposed, and there were two hollows under the lute bones at both ends, and the most shocking thing was that his right eye socket was already empty.
Li Junxian stared at Sun Xun's corpse for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a ghost-faced Sun Xun, you can also be regarded as a martial arts wizard! It's a pity that you have improper intentions, are narrow-minded, and voted for the wrong master, so you ended up like this!"
Looking at this stiff and cold corpse, Xu Ke couldn't help but look embarrassed. No, before he could speak, Murong Yan next to him had already taken out a package she was carrying, and took out a delicate small wooden box from it. The wooden box contains potions, yellow powder, clay, filaments and other things, all of which are necessary for her appearance.
"Brother Wuxi, you stand aside and watch Yan'er's methods!" Murong Yan said with a smile. With a wave of her hand, she told both men to step aside, and then stepped forward and carefully examined Sun Xun's body.
Murong Yan was obviously very confident in her disguise technique, she observed for a while, then took a cloth towel, simply wiped the corpse, and gently wiped away some of the residual blood that had leaked from the wound, and then began her "good show"......
Murong Yan's disguise technique is very unique, in addition to the tools and materials in the wooden box, most of them are made by her. She used a small shovel to scrape off some wall ash, then scraped some sawdust from the edge of the table, and then cut a lot of hair from Li Junxian's head and stuck it to the head of Sun Xun's corpse......
Xu Ke and Li Junxian saw Murong Yan rushing back and forth, except for the guilt in their hearts, they couldn't help at all, so they could only sit on the edge of the bed, sit and wait.
After about half an hour, Murong Yan suddenly heard Murong Yan say happily: "It's done!" The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, but saw that there was still Sun Xun lying on the ground......
Xu Ke looked at the "Li Junxian" lying on the ground, and then at Li Junxian standing next to him, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Junxian, which one is you in front of you, even I can't tell it!
At this time, lying on the ground
"Li Junxian", his face is lifelike, and his right eye socket is no longer empty, but cleverly equipped with an eyeball, except that he can't move yet, it is almost the same as the real Li Junxian.
Li Junxian looked at "himself" on the ground, but he didn't have a lot of emotion. He slightly bowed his hand to Sun Xun's corpse, and sighed to himself: "Brother Sun, although you have tortured Li to the fullest, you have tortured Li to the point that life is worse than death in the past month. However, I didn't expect that this time, it was you who came to be beheaded on behalf of Li, and I, Li Jun, envy your affection, and the grievances between the two of us will be written off from now on!"
"Let's hurry up!Brother Junxian, next, it's your turn!" Murong Yan urged.
Although Xu Ke had already ordered the guards that no outsiders were allowed to enter, it was close to noon at the moment, and any more delay would be more dangerous. At this time, if someone suddenly breaks into the cell, as soon as they see the two "Li Junxian", the fake Li Junxian will be exposed immediately, and all plans will be in vain.
Li Junxian knew that time was urgent, so he immediately lay down on the bed with him, and let Murong Yan step forward to "fiddle". Murong Yan got started very quickly this time, and in less than half an hour, Li Junxian had already put on makeup.
Xu Ke stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the "Ding Chunqiu" in front of him was slightly inferior to the person pretending to be sunset, but it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake without looking carefully. After all, Murong Yan relied on the memory in her heart, coupled with the rush of time, the disguise effect of "Ding Chunqiu" was not as vivid and fake as "Li Junxian".
Xu Ke let the "Ding Chunqiu" in front of him take off his prison clothes and put on the dark cyan robe he had already brought from Ding Chunqiu.
"Yan'er, your disguise technique is too powerful! In this moment, you actually turned into two people, and they are both like the real one! Who did you learn this disguise skill?" Xu Ke praised again while putting on the prison uniform for "Li Junxian" on the ground.
"Brother Wu, I learned this disguise technique from 'Boss Niu', in fact, I just learned a little bit from him...... Murong Yan said with a smile.
"Boss Cow...... Who is it?" Xu Ke couldn't help but wonder.
"Boss Niu, it's a miscellaneous ...... in my Tianbao Pavilion Brother who is not sick, let's go out quickly!" Murong Yan said.
While speaking, Xu Ke had already dressed the "Li Junxian" on the ground in prison clothes. Xu Ke took out three yellow paper talismans that Li Chunfeng handed him yesterday, one was close to the chest of "Li Junxian", and the other was posted on the back of "Li Junxian", all of which were hidden by sticking to the flesh, and then covered with clothes, and the last one was rolled into a ball and stuffed into the mouth of "Li Junxian......
No, as soon as the three yellow paper talismans were placed, "Li Junxian" stood up "Teng", which startled Murong Yan beside him.
However, although "Li Junxian" can stand and walk, his eyes are blank, his mouth cannot make a sound, and his face is expressionless, just like a puppet. Murong Yan saw that "Li Junxian" was just like a puppet, staggering, wandering around the cell, and couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "Brother Disease-free, this 'corpse control talisman' is so fun! Next time, you can help me go to Daochang Li again to ask for a few ......."
"Yan'er, what do you want this 'corpse control talisman' for?" Xu Ke asked casually. He looked at the "Li Junxian" walking around in the cell, but he was a little worried in his heart.
"Well, of course...... The next time the disease-free brother is not well-behaved, Yan'er will secretly paste one for you, telling you to be like a wooden man, and you will obey Yan'er's ......command alone!" Murong Yan grinned. At this time, although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, Xu Ke could also imagine that the scenery on her face at the moment must be as delicate and infinite as a hundred flowers blooming......
"Sister Xiaoyan, this 'corpse control talisman' can only be effective against the dead, but not against the living. Unless, that person has been poisoned by the 'corpse blood' and has corpse qi in his body...... "Ding Chunqiu" behind him couldn't help but step forward and laugh.
When everyone was laughing, they suddenly heard a "click", but "Li Junxian" lost his balance because of the broken leg bone, and suddenly fell to the ground. However, even if "Li Junxian" has fallen to the ground, his hands and feet are still swinging, this scene is really weird in the eyes of ordinary people.
Yesterday, when Daoist Li gave Xu Ke a "corpse control talisman", he did not explain how to deal with the details in the middle. At this time, Xu Ke saw all kinds of strange behaviors made by "Li Junxian" who fell to the ground, and suddenly had an idea, and he had a countermeasure in his heart......
Xu Ke took a rope and tied the hands and feet of "Li Junxian" on the ground and threw it on the bed. He went to the guards' duty room again and instructed the guards: "That Qin prisoner Li Junxian, knowing that he will be sent to the court tomorrow, has now lost his mind and gone crazy! On this day and night, you don't have to worry about him, and you don't have to send food, just wait for tomorrow's hour to arrive, and take him to the outside of the noon gate to be killed!"
The guards heard the orders of hundreds of households, and although they felt strange, they all received the orders in unison.
After Xu Ke and "Murong Huan" and "Ding Chunqiu" left the edict prison, two guards who were suspicious walked into the No. 11 cell of Jiazi. When they saw that "Li Junxian" was tied up and lying on the bed, they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts, so they slowly approached "Li Junxian's" side and called lightly: "General Li...... General Li: Are you really crazy?"
Suddenly, "Li Junxian" turned his head and looked at the two guards, only to see a pair of dead fish-like eyes bulging out, and those eyes were more white and less black, staring directly at the two of them at the moment. Not only did he not have the slightest expression on his face, but there was a cold aura like a dead man permeating his whole body......
"Hell!" one of the guards shouted, and the two men scrambled to crawl and ran out of Jiazi No. 11 cell. Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
