[Dream back to Datang-07]
There were two guards at the entrance of the prison, Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce, the latter understood, and immediately used the area calculation formula of the "isosceles triangle" in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to draw an invisible triangle at the feet of the two men . The two guards were immediately grounded and unable to move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Xingwen gave Xu Yishen a wink, Xu Yishen decisively turned into a cell, stuck to the guard's body, and squeezed in through the crack of the door.
Yue Xingwen's "Escape Plan" can teleport at will within a range of 500 meters, but he is afraid that he will teleport directly and crash into the guard's encirclement. Therefore, Xu Yishen must first explore the way and find the most suitable location. .
Xu Yishen, who turned into a cell, jumped around in the prison to investigate, and soon found an open space. He turned back to explain the location to Yue Xingwen. Only then did Yue Xingwen activate his skills and bring his teammates in instantly—
This is an empty cell in a corner, and the door is not locked.
Xu Yishen lowered his voice and whispered in Yue Xingwen's ear: "Turn left in front, and the row of cells at the end of the corridor is full of felons. I don't know Di Renjie, but I guess he should be held there."
At this moment, a heart-piercing scream suddenly came from my ear. It was obvious that someone tortured the prisoners. I don't know what torture tools these prisoners used. The man's scream almost burst his eardrums.
Yue Xingwen looked at his teammates and said in a low voice, "Lai Junchen is likely to be interrogating which prisoner. We can't startle the snake. Senior Brother Xu, please confirm the specific location of Master Di first."
Xu Yishen slipped out quickly, relying on the guards patrolling back and forth to jump quickly.
The terrain inside the cell is not complicated. There are only two cross paths, horizontal and vertical. There are cells on both sides of the road, and many prisoners are detained. According to Qin Miao, Lai Junchen, a cruel official, takes pleasure in framing ministers. It seems that his recent "performance" is good, and the prison is almost overcrowded.
I don't know who is Di Renjie
Xu Yishen was looking around in the prison, and suddenly, he heard a gloomy voice: "Master Di, you are conspiring with others, can you plead guilty?"
Xu Yishen immediately jumped in the direction of the voice.
In the dimly lit cell, there were many strange torture instruments hanging on the walls, and there were bloodstains on them. Di Renjie's official uniform had already been taken off, his clothes were dirty and wrinkled, and his hair was full of weeds. His face was also covered with dust, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
However, his eyes were very firm, and his voice was calm and authentic: "Treachery? What evidence is there?"
Lai Junchen smiled and said: "The so-called 'one who knows the current affairs is a good man', Master Di can see the situation clearly! Now, Your Majesty is in power, and the emperor's grace is mighty. If you admit your guilt, His Majesty will open up and spare your death penalty. , your people will not be implicated. Otherwise... "
He paused, then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Rebels are for the Nine Clan."
Di Renjie frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said aloud: "In the Great Zhou Revolution, all things are new, and the old officials of the Tang Dynasty are willing to slaughter, but it is true!"
When Lai Junchen heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Di is really refreshing. Since you admit to your treason, Wei Chen will certainly intercede with Your Majesty and deal with it lightly."
Di Renjie bowed at him with a cold face: "Thank you for coming, sir."
Lai Junchen turned and left with satisfaction, Xu Yishen then quickly came to the location of the four Yue Xingwen and told them the exact location of Di Renjie.
After Lai Junchen left, Yue Xingwen took his teammates to act together.
Jiang Pingce directly released a huge right-angled trapezoid to immobilize all the guards in the cell. Zhuo Feng shot out the ball of light, and the jailer guarding Di Renjie only felt a strong light flash in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't see anything.
In these short seconds, Yue Xingwen and his teammates quickly entered Di Renjie's cell.
Yue Xingwen took off a piece of cloth and handed it to Di Renjie. He also prepared a writing brush for him, and whispered in his ear: "Master Di, we know that you have been wronged, you can write your wrongdoing on this piece of cloth. , I will find a way to help you take the cloth out."
Di Renjie was also affected by the strong light, so he couldn't see the person in front of him, but he could hear footsteps and felt a refreshing breath rushing in from the snow.
Di Renjie frowned suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Yue Xingwen said: "The person who came to help you."
Di Renjie obviously didn't believe it. At this moment, Qin Miao suddenly said: "Master Di, the law stipulates that those who take the initiative to confess their guilt will not implicate the clan. You just confessed your guilt, and that's why, right?"
Di Renjie could clearly hear the voice of a young girl, how could there be a woman in the prison? Why did the guards outside suddenly stop moving
After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Why save me?"
Qin Miao said earnestly: "You are the benefactor of our family. Four years ago, when you served as the Dali Temple Chancellor, you were sentenced to a large backlog of cases, including the case of my father's unjust death. Our whole family is grateful to you. I heard that you were imprisoned here, so my brother and I came in overnight to see you."
Most of what Qin Miao said was true.
A few years ago, when Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi was still in power, Di Renjie did indeed serve as the Dali Temple Chancellor for a period of time. During his tenure in office, he handled a large number of unsolved and unjust cases involving more than 10,000 people, but not a single case was wrongly judged or handled. The efficiency and accuracy of the system are deeply admired by the people.
Among the tens of thousands of cases he handled, there must be something like "father's unjust death". Qin Miao made up an excuse, and Lord Di would naturally take his seat.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Di Renjie say, "Are you Zhang Jian's children?"
Qin Miao and Yue Xingwen looked at each other and nodded, "That's right."
Di Renjie seemed to be relieved and said, "Ling Zun's case has passed for many years. It's really rare that you still remember to repay your kindness."
Yue Xingwen said: "Master Di, my friend is working in this prison. I heard him say that you were imprisoned, and our brothers and sisters came in overnight. Don't worry, the jailers outside were all stunned by us. If you need to tell anything, we will help you out."
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Thank you two for your kindness. This is a private matter of Wei Chen, and I don't want to implicate others. You should leave quickly."
Yue Xingwen and Qin Miao looked at each other, the latter nodded, it was exactly twelve o'clock, all skills were refreshed, and everyone left the cell quickly with "Escape the Shell".
After returning to the courtyard, Qin Lu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it? Is it going well?"
Qin Lu said helplessly: "He didn't fully trust us and refused to let us bring things out. However, Xingwen gave him a pen and cloth, and reminded him to 'take it out'. He should know what to do next."
Yue Xing Wen said: "If nothing else happens, tomorrow, he will take advantage of the laxity of the jailer to him after confessing his guilt, and hide the cloth with written grievances in a cotton coat and give it to his family?"
Qin Miao said: "I hope so. According to the historical plot, he will give things to his son Di Guangyuan. We will protect Di Guangyuan and let Di Guangyuan send the letter to the palace smoothly and hand it over to Wu Zetian."
Yue Xingwen is also not sure how much the historical plot will be modified by the library. Di Renjie's confession is still based on the original plot. At least it shows that the library did not deliberately reduce the IQ of the plot NPC.
As long as the characters don't collapse, Di Renjie must know what to do.
I was afraid of another accident from Di Guangyuan's side.
Everyone didn't sleep well that night. Early the next morning, Xu Yishen entered the palace and informed Xin Yan, Ke Shaobin and others of the next plan.
Yue Xingwen, Qin Miao and others were far away from the prison. Sure enough, at noon, Di Guangyuan came to the prison to visit his father. He went in with a box of food and came out with a cotton coat in his hand.
—It was the cotton-padded coat that Di Renjie took off last night.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter said in a low voice, "This step of Di Renjie's transmission of the letter seems to be going well, and it's up to Xin Yan and the others."
At this time, the palace.
Ke Shaobin was preparing lunch in the imperial pantry, so he couldn't help. As Liu Zhaoqing as the imperial physician, as long as the people in the palace did not get sick and summoned him, he could not interfere in this link. Lan Yarong and several other maids sorted out Wu Zetian's winter clothes, but couldn't see His Majesty all day.
Only Xin Yan, as the imperial guard, met Wu Zetian when he went to court today.
In the courtroom, there was a heated discussion about Di Renjie's alliance with all the ministers to rebel. Some people thought that Di Renjie was an honest official and could not rebel against him; some people fanned the flames, thinking that Di Renjie was only loyal to Tang Gaozong, not to His Majesty.
The news of Lai Junchen shocked the entire court: "Master Di has pleaded guilty. He said that Da Zhou changed the dynasty, everything was renewed, and the old officials of the Tang Dynasty were willing to let the slaughter. The treason is a fact!"
Wu Zetian was furious and summoned Lai Junchen alone in the imperial study.
Lai Junchen said a lot of bad things about Di Renjie, just at this time, Di Guangyuan asked to meet Wu Zetian, Xin Yan stopped him immediately, called him privately to the corner, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Di, why don't you go back first, this afternoon? Come again."
Di Guangyuan looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
Xin Yan said: "Ling Zun, Lord Di is kind to me, just now, Lai Junchen told His Majesty that Lord Di has pleaded guilty, and His Majesty is angry. When she calms down, it will be better if you see her again."
Xin Yan continued: "As far as I know, your Majesty will summon several ministers in the imperial study when applying today, and you will come to see him at that time."
Di Guangyuan suddenly realized, and said gratefully: "I understand, thank you for your guidance."
After Di Guangyuan left, Xu Yishen, who was lying on Xin Yan's shoulder, said with a smile, "Master Di has all been kind to us, and suddenly there are so many people who repay the kindness."
Since Di Renjie has indeed let many people clear their grievances, the number of people who have benefited from him is countless. Only by helping him with this reason will his family believe it.
Di Guangyuan obviously believed it.
When His Majesty was angry, he asked to see His Majesty, which might add fuel to the fire and become self-defeating. In fact, Wu Zetian did not completely believe what Lai Junchen said, but Lai Junchen gave her too much information today, and she needed time to digest it. When she calmed down completely, Di Guangyuan handed over Di Renjie's blood letter, Wu Zetian would naturally suspect and investigate the truth.
What they need to do is to try to restore the truth of history.
