The military department Shangshu was in a very bad mood, and he just dealt with official business until late at night, but when he was ready to take a comfortable foot and rest, he had to be disturbed.

But knowing that it was the crazy old man who was looking for him, he lost his temper, because that person was very stubborn, and if it wasn't for a hundred thousand urgent things, he wouldn't have alarmed him.

In the past 16 years, has he ever said a word to himself? In the 16 years he has been imprisoned, has he ever given in at all?

Thinking of this, the military department Shangshu raised his whip and shouted, and the horse heard the master's shouting, and suddenly rushed out, and the subordinates who followed next to him panicked and immediately chased after him.

On such a night, it is really not an easy thing to light a torch for Lord Shangshu, who does not sit in a sedan chair, but actually rides a horse himself, and looks so anxious, it seems that something really has happened.

It can't be that the felons in the prison escaped, it must not be possible, the guards are so tight, not a single fly wants to escape.

The adjutant general commanded his soldiers to raise their torches high and follow closely behind Shang Shu, if in such a dark night, a few daring bandits came to attack, something really would happen.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do along the way, and when he arrived outside the prison gate, the adjutant general breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to accompany Shangshu to enter together, but was stopped.

The lieutenant general was a little surprised, but since it was Lord Shangshu's order, he had no choice but to obey.

The secretary of the military department has been an official for decades, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs, but at this time, cold sweat actually flowed from his forehead.

He came to the cell, asked the jailer to let the mad old man out, found a secluded place, withdrew the others, and smiled at the mad old man with some flattery.

The crazy old man's face, which was completely covered by messy hair, couldn't see any change in expression, and in the face of Shangshu's flattering handing of tea and water, he just said coldly: "You will be exempt from these coy behaviors, I will be sick to my stomach after watching it." ”

Shang Shu's hand holding the teapot stopped in mid-air, and he said with a stiff smile on his face: "Then it's free, it's free." ”

"Although you have not risen to the top over the years, you can be regarded as a smooth career, and you haven't forgotten whose credit it is. ”

"Don't dare to forget, don't dare to forget, without your help, how could I be where I am today?"

In the face of Shang Shu's humble words, the crazy old man brushed his hair with his hand, revealing a pair of cold eyes and said, "You are wrong, the person who helped you is not me." ”

"Yes, yes, but you helped me too, and I won't forget it. ”

"So, you have a good conscience, and if you are really ungrateful, I don't have to say anything to you later. ”

Shang Shu looked at this sloppy crazy old man with twelve points of curiosity, originally he was so personable, but now, how many years of wind and frost have carved wrinkles on his face, and the danger of his career has made him what he is today, which is really emotional.

"What are you going to tell me, hurry up, I'm in a hurry. Lord Shangshu looked at this down-and-out, arrogant old man said.

The crazy old man coughed, paused, looked around carefully, and whispered: "Do you remember that thirty years ago, Emperor Xianzong ordered Zhu Yong to be the general of Pingyu, Wang Zhi to be the supervisor of the army, and Wang Yue, the secretary of the military department, to supervise military affairs and go to ask Tatar Yisi Mayin?"

Hearing the old man's words, the military department Shangshu almost squirted out a sip of tea, and said nervously: "It's been so long, why are you still mentioning it, do you think you have a long life?"

The crazy old man shook his head and said with a serious expression: "You know what happened back then, you know who saved your life, you know in your heart." ”

Shang Shu also pretended to cough, took a sip of tea, and said, "Of course I know, you won't mention this matter for no reason, what are you trying to tell me?"

"When I see the son of the deceased, he is in the same cell as me, do you think it is providence?"

"Poof" Shangshu finally couldn't help it, a sip of tea squirted out, his eyes widened, he pointed in the direction of the prison incredulously, and muttered to himself: "How is it possible, how is this possible?"

"The world is full of wonders, since I can be locked up by you for sixteen years, what else can't happen?"

The crazy old man looked at Shang Shu with a sluggish face, and almost slapped him, but after all, he held back his irritable temperament and said leisurely: "Now you know what to do, right?"

When Shang Shu heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head, and blamed himself bitterly: "There is no turning point for the better, I have already repaired the book, and I will report to the imperial court quickly, I believe that they will be escorted to Beijing soon, or executed on the spot." ”

The crazy old man stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and said: "If you can be executed in Nanjing, there will be something to do, and if you are escorted into Beijing, you will not be able to return to heaven." ”

Shang Shu nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that we can only wait for God to decide." ”

"Fart! They must be escorted into Beijing, so if Liu Jin doesn't see the beheading in person, he will sleep peacefully?" The crazy old man suddenly raised his voice and said angrily, Shang Shu hurriedly motioned him to be quiet. The jailer who heard the movement rushed over and was ruthlessly scolded by Shangshu, and the conversation could continue.

"I want you to let him go, and I want to leave with him, you can arrange these things, and you must do them cleanly and neatly, leaving no traces, so you must find a cronies. ”

"You're crazy, do you know that this is guilty of deceiving the king, and you want to connect the nine clans?"

The crazy old man smiled contemptuously and said, "What, Lord Shangshu is worried that his glory and wealth will not be guaranteed? Do you want to continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Shang Shu thought about it in embarrassment, and it seemed that the voice and appearance of the old man appeared in front of him again, and he finally made up his mind and said: "I can take this matter down, but it can only be him, and what others should do with it has to be decided by the imperial court." ”

"Of course, who are you as an old man, those who don't matter, the old man is not so confused that he will take his life to take care of them. ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the 'Turtle Breath Pill' that person gave me back then would still work." ”

Lord Shangshu looked at him flatteringly from beginning to end, because he felt ashamed, so he didn't interfere with what this crazy old man said, he believed that as long as he wanted to live alone, even if the king of Hades came in person, he couldn't let that person die.

The crazy old man quietly returned to his cell, and Lord Shangshu said to everyone: "That crazy old man has finally confessed to the conspiracy with Li Dafu, you have to take good care of it, and I will report it to the court." ”

Everyone believed it, but early the next morning, a jailer reported that the crazy old man in the prison had bled to death, and that the court felons in the same cell with him had also been poisoned.

"Sure enough, did you kill people, I didn't think that there were their spies in the well-guarded prison, this official must strictly investigate and find out the spies, you throw those two corpses into the mass grave and bury them casually. ”

The military department Shangshu pretended to say, sighing in his heart that the old man was out of prison, but he was afraid that there would be more events in the world.
