Unlike the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto who have indeed committed heinous crimes, the officials in Shuzhou who were implicated by the King of Shu are not so vicious themselves. They may have some behaviors of searching for the people's fat and anointing and oppressing the people, but they are not guilty of death .
The death penalty can be avoided, but I am afraid that the official career will end here, and there will be a lot of physical torture, which is unavoidable.
Although Li Yi had some conflicts with Jiang Zian, it was a long, long time ago. When he was in Shuzhou, the other party treated him and Ruyi like life-saving grace, no matter whether he was sincere or not, It is enough to expose all the previous grievances, and when seeing him reduced to this situation, he can't stand by.
"Dali Temple and the secret spy department still have to go through some procedures. In the past two days, I am afraid that Brother Jiang will be wronged." Li Yi got up, looked at Jiang Zian and said, "However, Brother Jiang's suffering will not be in vain. Hard work You have been by the King of Shu's side for so many years, the imperial court will definitely compensate you."
Jiang Zian shook his head quickly, "No grievance, no grievance."
To be able to get out of here alive is already a great fortune for him, not to be implicated in this case, and the official reinstatement or even a step further, is something he has never thought about.
With the eldest princess here, everyone was very nervous and did not dare to speak nonsense. After making arrangements for Jiang Zian, Li Yi did not stay long and bid farewell to them.
After Li Yi and the eldest princess left, an official of the Dali Temple immediately changed his expression, glared at the guards beside him, and said, "Hey, you guys, why do you have long eyes? Why don't you give Master Jiang a look?" Clean up here... ”
No one thought that there were such characters hidden in this batch of prisoners.
He and the Marquis of Li County are life and death friends, the undercover agent who is hiding beside the king of Shu, if he goes out from now on, he will not be able to rise to the top and skyrocket...
Although he couldn't get Master Jiang out, it was still possible to improve the living environment in the cell.
"Here, clean here... clean the bucket, change the clean bucket every hour, and then go get a new quilt..."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman holding Master Jiang's palm tightly, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master Jiang, I'm really sorry, the cell has been tense these days, otherwise, you and Mrs. Just stay in the same cell and make do with it..."
Jiang Zian could naturally feel the kindness conveyed by the Dali Temple official, nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord..."
The Dali Temple official smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Soon, the entire cell was cleaned spotlessly clean, the single bed was replaced by a double bed, the quilt on the bed was also brand new, even curtains were hung around the cell, which could be put down at any time, just like an independent The small world is average.
Beside the bed, the young woman held Jiang Zian's hand and asked in confusion, "Husband, what's going on with you and Mr. Li..."
Jiang Zian sighed, with a hint of reminiscence on his face, and said: "It was an autumn three years ago. I just got a Jinshi. I was full of enthusiasm and high spirits. On that day, King Ning hosted a banquet in the mansion for everyone. Jinshi of Qing'an Mansion... Then, then I met him... "
"Then what?"
"Then I was dispatched to the remote Shuzhou..."
…
Jiang Zian sighed, and murmured: "Come on misfortune, fortune is on, fortune is on misfortune, I really can't tell..."
In the other prison cells, everyone looked at the isolated place with envious looks on their faces.
I really didn't expect that the service in Dali Temple's sky prison is so thoughtful, not to mention such a rich meal, but there is such an obvious preferential treatment, with food, bed and women, this is not like being in prison...
However, thinking that this might be his last day of enjoyment, no one was envious.
It's just a short-lived happiness, maybe tomorrow, what he will face is a stab at the head.
They just put their ears against the wall, listening quietly, listening...
…
Liu Yishou still needs to collect evidence one by one with the people in Dali Temple. They have been here for board and lodging these days. The three of Li Yi went around the prison and walked out of Dali Temple.
"The king of Shu has run away, and the Cui family is over like this. It's really unacceptable for a while..." Li Xuan sighed, and asked, "Mingzhu, what should we do next?"
Li Mingzhu walked with her head down, without responding.
Li Xuan looked back at her: "Mingzhu?"
Li Mingzhu recovered, looked at him and nodded, "Well, you are right."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What did I just say?"
"I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going back to the palace first." Li Mingzhu left without saying a word, and strode away.
Li Xuan looked at the back of her leaving, touched her chin where there was no beard, and said, "She has something on her mind."
Li Yi pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "Women have a few days every month, and it will be fine in a few days."
Li Xuan didn't continue this topic, and suddenly asked: "Is your butt okay?"
Li Yi looked back at him, frowned and said, "My butt has always been fine."
"I saw it when I went to your house that day." He shook his head, looked at Li Yi, and said pitifully, "I think it might be easier for her to take you than you to take her..."
…
Yunxi Village is a village tens of miles away from the capital city. It relies on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Yunxi Village is surrounded by mountains and water. The villagers mainly make a living by fishing and farming. Occasionally, they will go into the mountains to hunt some prey. Ten miles away, go to the market in Kyoto to exchange money.
The rich people in Kyoto are very fond of game in the mountains.
The village is remote and not close to the official road. For dozens of hundreds of years, the villagers of Yunxi Village have worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Apart from daily purchases and sales activities, they have had little communication with the outside world.
Of course, sometimes, some outsiders would pass by the village, rest their feet, ask for a glass of water, and most of the villagers would not refuse.
At this time, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a man wiped his mouth and exclaimed: "There are mountains and rivers, this place is good..."
Opposite him, a villager smiled honestly and said, "In our hearts, this place is not even comparable to the capital..."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to an old man who walked in from the outside, and asked, "Old man Liu, have you gone into the mountain again?"
The old man seemed to have a disease in his legs and feet, and he walked unsteadily. He carried a bamboo basket on his back. He smiled and said, "I just collected some medicine, and it didn't go too deep..."
Seeing the old man limping away, the villager smacked his lips and said, "Old man Liu is also a poor man. He is getting old, and he finally had a daughter. Once he went to the city, he was given the right to have a daughter." The son of a powerful family was ruined, the girl jumped into the river later, the old man Liu went to the Yamen to ask for justice, but his leg was broken, and the old lady in the family was angry and sick, and she still hasn't recovered, hey... "
The big man shook his head and said, "It's indeed pitiful, but the court has a policy for an old man like this to go to the medical center built by His Royal Highness the Princess. He doesn't need money to see a doctor, and he doesn't need to collect herbs by himself..."
"Hello, Your Highness, the whole village remembers that if there is no medical center for Her Highness, the old woman would have died a long time ago... The medicine is not for his old woman. Old man Liu picked up one by the river a few days ago. Man, his hands and feet were broken, and his body was burnt enough. Old man Liu collected medicine for him..." The expression on the villager's face became angry, and he cursed: "This shitty world, it's true that good people don't get rewarded , good people don't live long, and evil people who do evil live more gracefully than anyone else!"
The big man finished drinking the water, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the way of heaven is like reincarnation, and the wicked will definitely get retribution..."
In a dilapidated courtyard, just as the old man walked in, an old woman came out and said excitedly, "He's awake, he's awake..."
Before the old man had time to put down the medicine basket on his back, he limped into the house and came to the bed. A figure on the bed had already opened his eyes.
On his exposed skin, there were large areas of burns, most of his hair was burned, his limbs were strangely bent, and there was still some trance in his eyes.
The old man jolted over and said with a smile, "You finally woke up..."
The person on the bed said hoarsely, "You saved me?"
The old man nodded: "Ah, yes, I found you by the river that day, where is your home, I will send a message to you..."
The man thought for a while and said, "You can send a message to Prime Minister Qin's mansion for me, saying that Qin Yu is here. Remember, you must tell Prime Minister Qin this sentence yourself..."
The old man froze in place, and asked in a trembling voice: "Qin..., Qin Yu?"
After speaking, as if thinking of something, he took a deep breath, looked at him, and asked, "You, are you the missing little Lord Qin..."
"As long as you help me accomplish this, there will be rewards in the future."
The old man looked at him and asked, "You, are you really Young Master Qin?"
The person on the bed didn't speak any more, apparently acquiescing.
"Qin Yu, Lord Qin..." The old man closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and then slowly released them. He put down the medicine basket on his back, turned his head, and whispered, "Old lady, go and close the door."
Not long after, outside the door, the big man scratched his head and said in surprise, "What are you doing closing the door in broad daylight?"
