Tian Zhen still sneered, lying down on his side, with his back turned to him and said: "This time it's a bit like bragging, but I don't like money very much. I want to use my skills to join the army and make contributions. Even if you really have 20,000
I don’t want money either.”
"How can you have no money?" Li Siye put his shackles close to the wooden fence and continued to confuse him: "Even if you want to find a way forward, you must have money to manage and smoothen your relationships. As long as you have money, you can travel everywhere."
"Do you really have 20,000 yuan?" Tian Zhen turned around and asked suspiciously.
Li Siye nodded in confirmation: "Yes, as long as you are willing to help me, the 20,000 yuan is yours."
Tian Zhen held her chin and thought about it, then stretched out a finger: "I'm going to add another one. After you get out, let me give you a good beating to vent your anger."
Li Siye hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly: "Okay!"
Seeing Li Siye agreeing so readily, Tian Zhen was still puzzled. She stared at him with big eyes and asked, "Tell me, what do I want to do for you?"
"You know Zhang Xiaojing, he is a bad commander in Wannian County. I want you to go out and find him. Let him go to Prince E's Mansion to find the prince's people and tell them that the prince's consort is still plotting the demon case. I am imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion Prison.
."
"Is it that simple?" Tian Zhen asked.
"Yes, it's that simple."
"I believe you are the only one who has ghosts!" Tian Zhen simply lay down on the straw with his back stretched out. No matter what Li Siye said, he seemed to be no longer moved.
Tian Zhen fell asleep with a thunderous snoring, but Li Siye was so tired from being restrained by wooden shackles that he could hardly fall asleep. Whenever he dozed off, the heavy shackles would wake him up, leaving bruises on his arms and the back of his neck.
green.
An unknown amount of time passed, and his consciousness remained at the borderline between awake and fuzzy. When he was fully awake, brighter light shone from the overhead window at the end of the dark prison corridor.
"Tian Zhen, come out, don't stay in there!"
The jailer opened the door to the cell next to him, and Tian Zhen stood up, stretched, and walked out steadily. Li Siye kept his eyes on him, hoping to find a glimmer of certainty in this person's eyes, even though he was an unreliable person.
Tian Zhen passed by his cell door, turned her face and laughed dryly: "I can try to find Zhang Xiaojing for you, but don't have high hopes."
"Walk!"
Tian Zhen left Jingzhao Mansion Prison.
…
The West Market opens at noon. During this time in the early morning, goods can come in and out freely, but all stores are closed.
Shali and Gao Shi were squatting outside the door of Li's Scallion Cake Shop. The door panel had not yet been removed. They looked blank and obviously had no clue. Michagan strode to the opposite side with his felt hat on his head. Jiang
Tongbao also escaped the Fat Lady's pursuit and successfully escaped to join them.
"You two have been thinking about it all night. Have you decided where to find someone named Zhang?"
Sha Li and Gao Shi shook their heads.
"Same goes for you Shali, why don't you ask him what his name is Zhang."
"I would like to ask, but he is being held by soldiers, so how can I dare to get too close."
The four decided to leave the West Market and go to the residence where Li Siye temporarily lived in Xuanyangfang to search for clues.
A man came from a distance, wearing a black Gebu four-legged bundt on his head, a dark green crotchless robe, and a rough cowhide belt around his waist. His right eye was blind and scarred, and his face had the solemn look of a man in the government.
He stood in front of the green onion pancake shop, looked at the four or five people in front of him distantly, pointed to the banner hanging under the eaves and asked: "Where is the owner of this shop?"
Gao Shiyi put up the scroll, raised his hand and said: "The master here is in a little trouble. May I ask the guest's name? Is he an acquaintance of Li Siye?"
"My name is Zhang Xiaojing."
Sha Li suddenly stood up from the ground, opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked: "Which one is Zhang?"
"Of course the bow is stretched."
"Yes, yes, it's you! Hurry! Li Langjun was arrested by the government, and he asked me to come find you! They took him to Jingzhao Mansion!"
As soon as he heard the words Jingzhao Mansion, the corners of Zhang Xiaojing's eyes trembled. He immediately turned around and left without a moment's pause.
…
Li Siye was suffering and waiting in the cell. This feeling of being locked away and waiting for death made him uncomfortable. He had no control over all the things that were arranged and instructed. He didn't know what would happen outside during the day.
Several soldiers came in from outside, holding documents in their hands and handing them to the jailer. One of them stood outside the wooden fence and shouted loudly: "Taifu Temple transfers prisoners, Li Siye, come with us!"
He was led out of the prison by four people from front to back and left to right. The heavy wooden shackles left bruises on his body and the friction on his neck caused pain with every step he took.
He looked up at the sun dizzily, and then closed his eyes in excitement. These people took him to a large ink truck.
The back compartment of the car could still be opened. The two people pushed him into the car and sealed the back compartment. The two people got on the car from the front and leaned against the outer edge of the car respectively. The car was covered by a black curtain, and the wind blew occasionally.
A ray of light flickered in.
It was now the hot summer season, and the carriage was extremely hot and dry. Li Siye didn't drink water all night, and sweat was still seeping out uncontrollably from his face and neck.
"Where are you taking me?" he said.
"Cut the nonsense and shut up!"
Plans can never keep up with changes. He tried hard to persuade Tian Zhen to deliver news to Zhang Xiaojing last night, but they didn't know that he had been transferred. His plans and self-rescue measures were useless, so could he just leave it to fate?
The ink truck turned the corner from the west gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and Zhang Xiaojing ran over from Dongqu Lane. When the ink truck disappeared from sight, Zhang Xiaojing stood outside the Prison Department of the back office of Jingzhao Mansion.
Zhang Xiaojing naturally had a way to enter the prison. As a policeman, he was familiar with the internal rules of the judicial system of Chang'an City. He bribed the prison guard and stood in front of the wooden fence.
He turned around and asked the jailer: "Do you remember the person who was in prison with me last time? Where did he go?"
The warder pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course I remember, but..."
Zhang Xiaojing reached out and threw the bunch of money into his hand.
The jailer clenched his fists and said happily: "I was just taken away."
"Who was taken away? Where?" Zhang Xiaojing asked quickly.
"The soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion said they wanted to transfer him to Taifu Temple."
"Humph," Zhang Xiaojing frowned and looked at the air in front of him: "There is no prison in Taifu Temple!"
He turned around and ran out of the Jingzhao Mansion Prison, and followed the back office to check the ruts on the ground. He had just walked a few dozen steps when he heard a mechanical shout from the opposite side of the wall, but it was not selling goods, but looking for goods.
Person: "Looking for someone, Zhang Xiaojing, who is Zhang Xiaojing?"
Zhang Xiaojing walked around the wall to see this man. The man's voice gradually became lower and lower, as if he felt ashamed to shout like this.
He walked up to Tian Zhen and said, "I am Zhang Xiaojing."
Tian Zhen opened her mouth wide and said: "Ha, you can really shout Zhang Xiaojing, your friend Li Siye asked me to bring you a message, asking you to go to the Prince's Palace to find the prince's people, saying that the prince consort is still holding on to some demon case and won't let go."
"It's too late." Zhang Xiaojing concluded decisively: "It's too late to go to Prince E's Mansion. Li Siye has been taken away. I hope he can find out that these people are not taking him to Taifu Temple, but to..."
He took a quick look at Tian Zhen, pulled him by the shoulders without any explanation, and said, "You are also a friend of Li Siye. I am in urgent need of manpower now, help me find this carriage."
"Oh, don't pull me, I'm not his friend, I'm his enemy!"
Zhang Xiaojing: "It's okay to be an enemy. If he dies, where will you go to take revenge?"
"Ha, don't pull me! I'm really his enemy."
"I don't want to help him!"
Zhang Xiaojing grabbed Tian Zhen's shoulders and disappeared from the end of the square.
