Kong Jijiu also felt that Bai Shan could not be allowed to miss school all the time. After waiting for several days, he found that the Queen Mother's condition had not improved at all. The judgment of the King of Yizhou was temporarily shelved, but the people involved in the matter began to be investigated.
And I heard that Yizhou has begun escorting rebel bandit leaders and others to Beijing.
Kong Jijiu calculated with his fingers that even if he set off immediately, it would take about ten days to get to Beijing.
So he thought for a while and asked the academic officer of Class A and Class 3 to give Bai Shan some additional homework while thinking about whether to let Bai Shan come back to school.
The main reason is that Bai Shan and the others have been out of prison for three days and no one has seen any trouble with them.
It seems that in order to avoid suspicion and prevent the censor from finding any excuses, even the Queen Mother did not find fault with them.
Kong Jijiu always felt that if he always asked Bai Shan to take leave from school, it would appear that their Imperial College was afraid of the King of Yizhou.
Moreover, it would be detrimental to Bai Shan's reputation to avoid him like this.
If someone hides for three to five days, it can be said that he has just been released from prison and needs to take care of himself. But if he hides for three to five days, it will become a joke.
So Kong Jijiu planned to go around the palace, but before he could enter the palace, the emperor summoned him.
Along with Wei Zhi, Tang Hui and other important ministers.
After entering the palace, I found that the Zhao family and other heads of the aristocratic family were with the Queen Mother. The emperor summoned them to discuss the matter of King Yizhou.
There were many people entering the palace this time. The Queen Mother lay on the bed and held the Emperor in tears for a long time. Some heads of aristocratic families and ministers also tried to persuade them for a long time...
Finally, after Kong Jijiu came out of the palace, he said to Chang Sui: "Tell someone to tell the academic officer of Class A and Class 1 to inform Bai Shan to come back to class."
Chang Sui asked: "Don't hide anymore?"
"Hide your ass. The private soldiers have been mobilized and people have been arrested. Your Majesty must fulfill your filial piety. I'm afraid this matter will never go away."
Since it is impossible to let things go, no matter how jealous the King of Yizhou is about Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who are the victims, he will not take action against them at this time.
In order to silence everyone in Youyou, the Queen Mother was afraid that she would be kind to them in the end, so there was no need to hide.
At this time, Bai Shan and the others had just returned from Erliu Lane. They had just received the new homework sent by the academic officer. Before he could sigh, he turned around and received the news that he should go back to school.
Bai Shan was confused and looked at Yin You. Yin You stood up and said, "I'll go back and ask my grandmother, but my father is not in Beijing now, so I'm afraid the news from home will be delayed."
Bai Shan, Man Bao and others sent him out, "Then I'll leave it to you."
After seeing Yin You off, Manbao asked, "Then shall we go to Tianlao tomorrow?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and then nodded and said: "Go, there is a beginning and an end. Although I don't know what happened, but since it's a show, let's do the whole thing."
Because they wanted to go there for the last time, even though they didn't like Ba Bo very much, Bai Shan and Man Bao still prepared a very sumptuous meal for him. Of course, they also gave one to the female prisoner.
Bapu was stunned for a moment after receiving such a generous gift and then asked: "You won't come again?"
Bai Shan nodded, sat across from him across the cell door, nodded and said, "I'm going to school tomorrow."
Ba Bo then looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao said: "He is going to school, and I am going to the drug store to sit in class. We thought that we were destined to meet each other, so I prepared some delicious food for you today."
Babu then looked at the food box of the female prisoner diagonally opposite, raised his chin and asked: "There are so many people in this prison, why are there only two of us?"
Bai Shan was also honest and said directly: "We gave it to her out of sympathy. We think her crime is not worthy of death, but the law is like this and there is nothing we can do. We gave it to you because you have been helpful to us."
Babu then smiled and said, "Didn't she tell you that day that I lied to you?"
"We know," Bai Shan said with a smile: "We knew from the beginning that you were lying to us, but no matter whether you were lying or not, we had to come and see you so that people outside would have something to do."
Ba Bo curled his lips and said, "You scholars just go around and around a lot."
He didn't care anymore, just took out the stewed chicken and tore it open. After swallowing his saliva, he started to eat. While eating, he sighed, "After today, I'll have to eat chaffy vegetables again."
The food in the prison was very poor. The steamed buns were mixed with bran, and a lot of rice porridge was made from old rice. Because it was not washed thoroughly, it always had a strange smell.
Man Bao said nonchalantly: "Aren't you going to be executed in a few days? There will be delicious food by then."
Babu choked and felt that the stewed chicken in his mouth was a little tasteless. He stared at Manbao with his cloudy eyes and suddenly smiled, "Young lady hates me?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "That's not really the case, I just don't like it. The books I read before always said that everyone commits crimes for a reason, so I want to know what your reason is?"
Ba Bo did not answer, but asked: "Why were you imprisoned in the heavenly prison? You are still in such a spacious place next door, and the family is full of high-ranking officials, right?"
Man Bao said: "My family is poor, but we are very poor. I used to have three brothers, and my family was afraid that they would not be able to find wives. Now there is another brother who has not found a wife even after he reached the age of 18."
Bai Shan turned to look at her, then nodded to Ba Bo, confirming Man Bao's words, "Her family used to be very poor."
"Poor?" Ba Bo looked up and down at Man Bao with a look of disbelief.
Bai Shan said without changing his expression: "But she is smart. My husband liked her very much, so he accepted her as his disciple. My grandmother also liked her very much, so she studied with me."
Ba Bo then said: "That little lady is really lucky. Since she is a commoner, it is not a crime of murder. How can she be imprisoned in the sky prison and still be taken care of by the superior officer?"
"Probably because we sued King Yizhou and closed the eyes of many people, we were taken care of." The other party was about to be beheaded. There was nothing hard to say about this kind of thing. Man Bao was still more curious about him.
He knew about the crime process, so he simply sat cross-legged across from him and spoke frankly to him, "Look, we have answered all the questions you asked. Why do you kill people?"
Bapu was silent for a while, then tore a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and said: "In order to survive, if they want to report me, kill me, or take my life, I will naturally have no choice but to kill them. You sue Yizhou
King of what?"
"It's nothing. He killed our parents and wanted to rebel. When we found out, we sued him," Man Bao said, "Is it because of stealing? If you are caught stealing, you should only be exiled. Do you kill people just to avoid being exiled?"
"
"Hi," said Ba Bo, "exile is worse than beheading. Being taken to the border to be a slave or to dig in a mine would be a life worse than death. If I escape, I will be safe and sound. Of course.
I'm going to kill him."
Manbao sighed.
Ba Bo said: "Humph, don't think I'm cruel. The people I killed were not good people either."
"Isn't the family who gave you food a good person?"
Bapu was silent for a while and said: "Her son is a deserter, so what kind of good person can he be? I didn't want to kill her at all. It was when she saw me killing her son and started yelling that I started to kill her."
