When Zhong Wan returned to the Qian'an Prince's Mansion, it was already bright. Because he didn't come back, most of the people in the mansion were still awake. As soon as the carriage turned around the street, someone came out to greet him. The servants of the Qian'an Prince's Mansion saw Yu Prince's Mansion The car driver was stunned and looked at each other.
"No, it's okay..." Zhong Wan got out of the car, he was completely weak, and he helped a servant to walk into the mansion and instructed in a low voice, "Go and tell the prince and... the two little masters, I'm fine."
The servant on the side hurriedly agreed and ran in to spread the word. Zhong Wan was confused, afraid that he would not be able to wake up if he closed his eyes, so he forced himself to say: "Before I wake up, the mansion will close the door to thank the guests, go and tell Uncle Yan, let me He figured out a way to call... call Dumb over, I have something to ask."
The servant didn't understand, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the mute?"
"Uncle Yan knows..." Zhong Wan coughed twice, "If he is here, be sure to wake me up."
The domestic servant was helpless, Zhong Wan felt relieved and fell asleep.
There were many things in Zhong Wan's mind, and even when he fell asleep, he kept a little bit of alertness.
For a while, I dreamed that Emperor Chong'an gave a banquet, and I was forced to fight with Xuanjing, the stubborn fool, one cup after another.
Zhong Wan was also very unirritated at the time. He didn't understand what it means to be able to bend and stretch, and he couldn't learn to be smooth. After being sneered by Xuan Jing for a few words, he really fought with him. Jing Nacai had to feed him, and in the end... It seemed that Yu She lightly said something to Xuan Jing, not to be rude, Xuan Jing was also afraid that he would make a fool of himself in front of Emperor Chong'an by drinking it again, so he took it angrily.
After a while, I dreamed that the news of King Ning surrendering to the enemy came from the northern border, and the family was uneasy.
At that time, the Spring Festival had just passed, and he asked for Huiyuan. In the previous three months, Mrs. Shi was detained in the Shifu to prepare for the Spring Festival, forcing him to write an article a day. After leaving the house, how could it be possible to communicate with King Ning
Zhong Wan knew in his heart that these people just wanted to use the mouth of his "foster son" to get evidence that King Ning had surrendered to the enemy. Although he was young, he was famous for his fame. Those people didn't dare to punish him, so they boiled him every day without good tea and rice, and repeatedly interrogated and threatened him day and night for more than three months.
There is coercion: "Master Zhong, you haven't spoken. We can only write to request the Zongren Mansion to coordinate the trial. When the Zongren Mansion comes forward, we can ask Rui Xiaoshizi."
Favorable temptation: "If you are deceived by Prince Ning, say it! The emperor Shengming, watching you grow up, has always loved you, and will think that you will not care about the past for the sake of your merits and sins. , Master Zhong... You are only one step away from becoming a scholar, and in ten days, you will have the imperial examination. As long as you confess now, it is not too late... "
Zhong Wan was dead for a month, and the man lost his face. Hearing this, he lowered his head, and his voice was hoarse and not like a human voice: "Xuan Rui is the son of Prince Ning, and the prince is bound to be implicated in this great disaster. He should eat. I can't take the pain for me. I can bear the guilt that I deserve, and so can Xuan Rui."
"You can go and ask for the decree, and I also want to know... whether the clan's government dares to judge a ten-year-old child."
"The palace test is eleven days later. I know better than you. Send me to the palace test? Heh... I'm already white, but you can actually send me to the palace test. You are very capable..."
After another month, Zhong Wan still did not let go. He was in a trance, and the interrogator felt that he was only one step away, so he sent someone to guard the door of his cell and repeatedly said to him: "King Ning has already done yesterday. Confession, King Ning already confessed yesterday, King Ning already confessed yesterday.
Only when Zhong Wan's spirit collapsed, he confessed his guilt according to their words.
Zhong Wan knew that he couldn't be mad, and once he was relieved, none of the Prince Ning's mansion would really be able to survive.
Zhong Wan knew that King Ning could not surrender to the enemy, and he held a glimmer of hope in his heart. King Ning was not dead, and he must be suffering now.
King Ning can endure it, but can't he himself
Zhong Wan couldn't eat a single bite of the food he was tortured at that time. He was afraid that he would lose his mind, so he wanted to find something for himself, so he leaned against the wall and broke the steamed buns he sent into small pieces. He took the steamed bun and smashed it in the face of the person who was chanting at him.
The person who recited the scriptures was smashed and was shocked and didn't respond. After being smashed for a long time, he yelled angrily, became angry, couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown on the head by the soupy vegetables.
The people who interrogated him did not dare to let him starve to death, and after a while, they brought food, and Zhong Wan saved up, whoever came to beat him.
After half a month, the Minister of Punishment came to ask in person, and Zhong Wan reported to the Minister that the person who had interrogated him cheated and manipulated the scientific examination. The next day, the person who allowed him to go to the palace examination was taken into custody and locked up next to Zhong Wan. Every day, Zhong Wan smashed rice and soup.
Another month later, King Ning died in the northern border, Zhong Wan spat a mouthful of blood in the prison, and the next day, he fell into slavery.
People like Zhong Wan have fallen into slavery, some people are injustice, some people feel sorry, some people sigh, and more people are watching the fun.
Zhong Wan was only a teenager, and he was famous for his handsome appearance. It was common to buy and sell criminal servants, but when it came to him, there was a hint of ambiguity.
Zhong Wancai loves the capital. If such a person can buy into the mansion and trample him under his feet, it will be a proud thing.
Some of the children from aristocratic families who are not particular about it have special hobbies. As soon as the news that Zhong Wan had closed the case came out, the person who handed the note to the prison squeezed through the door.
Zhong Wan only had half his life left at the time, and he vaguely heard that someone wanted to buy him to expand the drama troupe in the mansion.
Zhong Wan thought bitterly, "Okay, I'll go and sing the little widow to the grave for you."
He also heard that someone wanted to buy him as a gift to Jiangnan nobles, Zhong Wan thought that it was okay, he didn't want to leave Beijing.
I also heard that the fourth prince Xuan Jing also sent someone, but he accidentally let his mother-in-law know, and was caught by his mother-in-law and gave him a good lesson.
Zhong Wan has experienced a lot of love and warmth in the past few months, and when he heard that Xuan Jing was coming to buy him, he grinned.
Xuan Jing had no other interest in him, and he had to buy him even after being beaten up by his mother-in-law. He couldn't just want to humiliate him.
Not worth the loss.
Xuan Jing didn't hate himself that much.
Zhong Wan was a little relieved, and felt that this drinking friend was not in vain, so he asked someone to give Xuan Jing a message: You are so talented, you can't compare to me in your life.
It is said that Xuan Jing was so angry that he almost went to the room.
There was an endless stream of people, and they actually made a deal with the prison. Zhong Wan was amazed. It turned out that so many people wanted to take care of him.
It's really... I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Zhong Wan waited quietly. The guards in the prison were afraid of his death and stared at him day and night.
Zhong Wan sneered, why did he want to die
He is not a woman, even if he is a woman, can he still care about fame
Those three kids... still don't know how.
Zhong Wan didn't have time to worry about herself, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
After waiting for a few more days, Zhong Wan was finally picked up.
The person who bought him seemed to be from a big family, very well-behaved, with a strict mouth, and couldn't hear anything. The carriage was swaying for a long time, and finally reached the place.
Zhong Wan got off the carriage, looked up, and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
Yu Wangfu.
Zhong Wan had a thousand calculations, but he didn't expect Yu She to think about himself!
It's really indescribable that people can't be compared to the sea.
Xuan Jing would be beaten if he wanted to buy himself, but Yu She was able to resist both Princess Anguo and Prince Yu, and took him over smoothly. He was also a hero out of a teenager.
…
Zhong Wan smiled in a dream, frowned and turned over, feeling that someone was pulling his hand.
Zhong Wan struggled to open his eyes, but it took a while to see clearly that it was Lin Si.
Lin Si's face was full of urgency. He felt Zhong Wan's pulse again, and wiped Zhong Wan's forehead again. Zhong Wan forced a smile: "It's okay... It's just freezing, help me up."
Lin Si half-kneeled and helped Zhong Wan up.
Zhong Wan didn't know how long he had slept, but his fever had subsided and he was still in good spirits.
Zhong Wan raised his finger and pointed to the desk beside him, "Go... get a pen and paper, I have something to ask you."
Lin Si took it, but Zhong Wan took it. It turned out that he wanted to write it himself.
This mansion was arranged by Emperor Chong'an, and Zhong Wan could not speak with confidence.
Zhong Wan wrote quickly: You were the one who saw the prince for the last time. What the prince said at the end, you can say it again and write it down, not a single word is wrong.
Lin Si paused, took Zhong Wan's pen, and wrote: "Tell Guiyuan, this is the end, take care of yourself, don't be stupid for me, my three or four blood relatives, please protect me.
Zhong Wan frowned slightly and wrote: Three or four blood relatives
Lin Si nodded.
Zhong Wan continued to write: The princess passed away early, and the prince only had three children. It's obvious, why don't you just say three, but three or four
Before King Ning died, there were many irrelevant people guarding him. Could it be that he had some unfinished words that he couldn't say clearly, so what did he want to tell Zhong Wan based on these words
Lin Si frowned.
Zhong Wan wrote: Did you doubt it too
Lin Si nodded.
Zhong Wan wrote: A few years ago, why did you fall into Yu She's hands
Lin Si gestures: life experience.
Zhong Wan thought that it was true.
Lin Si gestured: It wasn't because of the prince's dying words. His Royal Highness also had a lot of doubts about Yu Xiaowang's life experience. He sent me to investigate. Naturally, it was also what I wanted to investigate.
Zhong Wan wrote: What was the result
Lin Si shook his head and found nothing.
Zhong Wan leaned against the bed, dazed.
Lin Si sign language: The master suspects that Prince Yu is the prince's child
Zhong Wan pondered: "It's just suspicion... but it doesn't make sense."
It's too far-fetched to connect these two people just with the words "three or four" from King Ning.
And Yu She was born in the year the late emperor passed away. That year, King Ning had just turned fifteen, and he was pregnant for ten months. If he pushed it further, that is, when King Ning was fourteen years old...
Zhong Wan laughed, how could it be.
Lin Si pondered Zhong Wan's thoughts, probably knew what he was thinking, and made a straightforward gesture: Fourteen years old, it's not necessarily impossible.
Zhong Wan smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to discuss the matter of his adoptive father with Lin Si. After thinking about it, he wrote: At that time, the prince was still the most favored sixth prince. Let him inexplicably have a child before the big marriage. Besides, Princess Anguo and Prince Yu raised a son for Prince Ning? Still so well-kept
Lin Si nodded and made a gesture: Impossible, the emperor is even afraid of Xuan Rui, how could he leave the older Prince Yu.
Zhong Wan sighed, it's not right about Prince Ning's family, so what's going on
"Three or four blood relatives", is it casually said, or does it mean something else
Lin Si pondered the words "three or four", and then guessed the gesture: that four, is it possible that you are talking about yourself, master
Zhong Wan laughed and wrote: I am one year older than Yu She! Did Wang Ye have the same room with someone at the age of thirteen? What are you thinking! Although our Zhongfu is gone, I am really born by my parents.
Lin Si lowered his head and smiled.
"Who is it then..."
Lin Si suggested: If the master wants to know, I can continue to check, I am not in a hurry to go to the south.
"No." Zhong Wan shook his head, "He just mentioned you to me. If you fall into his hands again, he will never forgive you."
Lin Si was helpless, Zhong Wan thought about it, and said, "Or... After the Longevity Festival, let's change. You accompany them back to Qian'an, and I stay in Beijing."
Lin Si frowned and gestured: Didn't the master say that after this time, we won't have anything to do again
Zhong Wan was silent. If the three children were all right, he would be worthy of King Ning's nurturing grace. Will he be able to...
Lin Si didn't want Zhong Wan to get stuck in the mud again, and made a quick gesture: The two little masters are just ten years old.
Zhong Wan smiled wryly, too.
Since King Ning's death, this life is not his own for a long time, where does he have the freedom to think about other things.
