Since Xuexiang Su left the prison, the cell to the left of Xu Xing has been empty.
It wasn't until yesterday that a prisoner was sent in.
This prisoner's surname was Tian, and he was the general judge of Ruzhou. It was said that he was delayed in delivering food and wages to the imperial army, which resulted in the imperial army's disastrous defeat. Therefore, he was personally questioned by the imperial envoy and escorted to Shenjing to wait for punishment by the Ministry of Punishment.
Judge Tian Tong had a sallow complexion and disheveled hair, and his energy after being imprisoned was worse than before Xu Xing.
At first glance, it seems that he was escorted over a long distance and half his life was lost.
Xu Xing was also happy to do good deeds, and gave Tian Tongfen some meat every day just like he did to Su Xueshi and Chang Ji.
The day after Tian Tong was sentenced to jail.
That is the fifth day after Princess Anren’s wedding.
A high-pitched eunuch's voice suddenly came from the cell number B, which was separated from Xu Xing by a wall.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Zheng Changshan was convicted of corruption and perverted the law, secretly collected bribes, and secretly camped soldiers with the intention of treason..." Zheng Changshan was appointed as an official and censor, and he made many achievements. He repeatedly raised objections and made meritorious service to the country.
The clan only gives death to the dove, the men are exiled for three thousand miles, and the women are sent to the Jiaofangsi... I admire this!"
No. B 32, cell.
The eunuch in python suit stopped singing the imperial edict and lowered his voice, "Master Zheng, please accept the edict."
He rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to Zheng Yushi.
Seeing that Zheng Yushi refused to accept the imperial edict, the eunuch in the python suit sighed, "Master Zheng, you know the emperor's temper. You can submit the memorial at another time, but never on the day of the princess's wedding."
"Your Majesty... you are quite restrained."
He said solemnly.
Zheng Yushi was shocked when he heard this.
The eunuch in python suit is the confidant of Emperor Chongming, the eunuch Li Enlu.
Li Enlu had a reputation as a virtuous person in both the government and the public. He was not greedy, not dirty, not cliquey, not selfish, and his personal moral character was impeccable. When the scholars outside the court scolded the eunuchs, they would deliberately not mention the eunuchs with the palm print.
The name of the person Lee Eun-ro.
Similarly, Li Enlu is famous for being easy to talk to.
Now..., Li Enlu said that "The Emperor" was quite restrained, and the implication was that if he did not give Emperor Chongming a satisfactory answer, he would not be the only one to die.
"I... thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Zheng Yushi forced a smile, kowtowed to the south three times, and received the order.
To the south is where the Ziwei Hall of the Imperial Palace is located.
Not long after.
In Room No. 32, only Zheng Yushi and a bottle of Jiujiu wine were placed on a lacquered wooden tray.
"Ugh! Alas!"
"I, Zheng Changshan, studied hard for thirteen years. At the age of twenty, I entered the Ministry of Rites examination of the Shangshu Province and won the title of Tanhualang. At the age of twenty-one, I served as secretary-general. I was appreciated by the late emperor. At the age of twenty-seven, I entered the Yushitai and served as the Yushi Zhongcheng..."
"After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, I didn't expect to end up like this."
Zheng Yushi raised his cup of wine and looked at himself in pity.
I have been safe for most of my life, who knew... As I get older, I have an impulse.
However, at this moment.
There was a series of noises coming from the wall near where he was sitting.
winter!
winter!
winter!
It's like knocking on the door.
Zheng Yushi subconsciously approached the wall painted with clam gray.
"Master Zheng."
"Any last words?"
"The official can pass it on for you..."
Next door, a young man's voice came.
"Who are you?"
Zheng Yushi frowned.
He didn't expect that the sound insulation of the prison was so poor, and the partition walls had ears.
"I am also a prison officer of Kansai Road."
"I heard that the Lord spoke uprightly..."
"Although I don't have the ability to rescue Mr. Zheng, I can help Mr. Zheng do what I can. It's not a problem..."
Xu Xing did not intend to reveal his true identity to Zheng Yushi.
They are not so harmonious between their "son-in-law". If Zheng Yushi is about to die..., otherwise if there is a chance in the future, he would not mind being in love with Zheng Yushi. After all, according to custom, even though he has not yet ascended to Zheng Dynasty
A letter of appointment was sent to the door of the family, but he was still regarded as the son-in-law of the Zheng family...
But the Zheng family, on the other hand, ignored him and never visited him in the prison...
but--
In any case, Zheng Yushi died admonishing the millions of victims of the Kansai Road disaster.
Those who work for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow!
This should be the simplest concept.
"I deserved my death!"
"A hundred years from now, my elders will set up a monument for me and cast aside all the nobles in this court..."
Zheng Yushi was still a little sad in his heart, but after hearing Xu Xing's words, he suddenly felt that he had done nothing wrong in remonstrating and it was a meaningful thing.
one person,
An unknown death.
It is different from a death that will last forever.
"I don't have any last words."
"There is only one regret, and that is that I am ashamed of my relatives..."
"It is my fault that I have achieved such a good reputation and let my relatives end up in such a miserable end. I have a villa in Changlefang, Shenjing, where I have three thousand taels of silver and souvenirs from relatives and friends."
"The silver should be regarded as a reward for you, and the souvenir... I also ask you to take this souvenir and go to my relatives and friends to see if you can save my relatives."
Zheng Yushi said one word after another.
He spoke very slowly just to let Xu Xing hear clearly.
After Xu Xing gave him an accurate answer, he no longer hesitated and drank the wine.
…
No more sounds came from Cell B.
Xu Xing withdrew his ears from the wall.
There is a wall between him and Zheng Yushi. In addition, he has inner strength, and his ears and eyes are much sharper than ordinary people, but he can't hear clearly. Therefore, there is no need to worry about others hearing what Zheng Yushi said.
However, in the T-shaped cell, someone heard his words.
Secretary Wu bowed his hand to Xu Xing and said, "I admire Mr. Xu for being able to put aside past grudges and be willing to pass on Mr. Zheng's last words."
Shenjing is huge, but not too big either.
In the first few days after Xu Xing was imprisoned, many prison guards were worried about Zheng Yushi asking questions...
After all, Xu Xing and Zheng Yushi have a relationship.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yushi did not ask about this matter at all, and it became a joke among the prison guards after tea and dinner. The first smile was that Zheng Yushi acted according to the prevailing situation, and the second smile was that Xu Xing had no friends.
"It's just a moment of weakness."
Xu Xing shook his head, not wanting to say more.
Seeing this, Secretary Wu stopped interrupting.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour.
Xu Xing spoke, "I have finished writing my arithmetic textbook. There is no need to send me pen and paper in the future. Secretary Wu, I have been busy during this period."
At first, he asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone to facilitate cheating in the dungeon world.
Now, with the white horoscopes [Educated Knowledge] and [Wenchang], his writing progress has been rapid, and he has almost a photographic memory, and he no longer has to spend hard time copying eight-legged essays.
So the current paper, ink, pen and inkstone are completely useless.
On the contrary, it is not a good thing that there is another Secretary Wu to hinder his eyes.
The prison was quickly restored to purity.
Translator Wu Shuban wishes he could leave this hellish place called Tianlao Prison as soon as possible.
night.
Tian Tongpan, who was in jail, took the initiative to speak.
