Carefree Scholar Chapter 941: Beheaded rice
The case of the Cui family and the king of Shu is the most influential and largest case involving Jing Guo in decades.
Not only were dozens of officials in Kyoto imprisoned as a result, related officials in Shuzhou, who were involved in this case, were also escorted to Beijing and locked up in the cells of Dali Temple.
Suddenly, from the superior parents to the prisoners, no one knows what will be waiting for them. If they are just resigning and dismissing, it is still a blessing in misfortune. Even if it is exiled, it is not difficult. If you accept the matter, I am afraid that it will be too deeply involved by the king of Shu, and I will directly send it to the guillotine, then there is really nothing left...
At this time, somewhere in the cell, a young man was clutching his abdomen, his forehead oozing cold sweat, and his body was shaking.
"Zi'an, Zi'an, what's wrong with you..."
In the cell next door, a woman with an anxious face, clutching the fence in the middle, asked with concern.
The young man was in cold sweat, but he raised his head, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's okay..., the old problem is sick."
The woman looked at the sweaty young man, turned her head, knelt down with a puff, and hissed: "Sir, Zi'an has a bad temper, please, please don’t give me moldy food anymore. He's..."
The officer looked back and said blankly, "I'm all here, what else to choose..."
The woman slumped feebly on the ground. In another cell, someone mocked disdainfully: "This is the Dali Temple Tian prison. I want to eat well, I'm afraid I will only have the decapitated meal!"
In Jingguo, no matter where the prison is, there is an unwritten rule. Before the execution, the prisoner can enjoy a hearty meal. The so-called "decapitation meal" is to hope that the prisoner can eat and go on the road. , To vote for a good family...
The moment I ate the decapitation meal, it means that the prisoner is short of execution.
As soon as the man's mocking voice fell, somewhere at the door of the cell, there was a sound of iron chains dropping down.
Several jailers opened the door of the prison and moved a set of tables and chairs in, and some people served wine and delicacies one after another. The taste of the wine and food, the prisoners could smell all the way away.
"Eight dishes and one soup..."
The number of prisoners who spoke just now was counted, and he was weak and limp on the ground. This tangy aroma is not comparable to the moldy and rotten food they usually eat. Under what circumstances, the prison will give Such preferential treatment of prisoners?
Decapitated rice, this is decapitated rice!
Lieutenant Jiang’s decapitation meal is here, can theirs be far away?
The woman grabbed her hands on the railing and said in a panic: "Zian, Zian..."
"Master Jiang, please..." The two jailers helped the young man in the cell and sat at the table.
Jiang Zi'an stared at the sumptuous meals in front of him, but he didn't have any appetite. When his stomach ache, he thought that if he could eat a full meal, it would be worth death.
Men are always changeable.
He has regretted it now. He doesn't want good wine and good food, and he doesn't want to eat enough. Even if he eats moldy and rotten food every day, he is willing to...
As long as you live, as long as you can live...
Jiang Zian struggled to sit up, shook his head and said: "I won't eat, I won't eat..."
"Why, don't these meals suit Brother Jiang's appetite?" Li Yi walked into the cell and said in surprise: "It doesn't matter, Brother Jiang wants to eat, just say it, I'll let someone cook it again."
This voice is familiar, familiar enough to be engraved in his bones.
Jiang Zian turned his head and looked at a figure who walked into the cell, his whole person was stunned in place, like being struck by lightning.
"Li, Brother Li..."
Li Yi walked into the cell, helped him to the table in person, smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, long time no see."
……
Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu walked up side by side. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help being surprised.
He prepared such a rich meal just for the person in front of him?
This person, they don't have much impression at all.
Li Xuan came over and asked suspiciously: "Do you know each other?"
Li Yi nodded.
"Familiar?"
"Brother Jiang and I..." Li Yi patted Jiang Zian on the shoulder and said: "It's a fateful friendship..."
"Fate..." Li Xuan murmured, and when he looked at the young man, his brows instantly frowned.
Li Yi pointed to the two of them and introduced him: "This is the eldest princess, this is the son of Li Xuan."
The eldest princess is in power and Li Xuan's son is in charge of the Academy of Sciences. How could Jiang Zian have not heard of these two great names, and hurriedly got up to see the courtesy, "The criminal minister sees the eldest princess, and he has seen the son of the son..."
Li Yi looked at the woman in the cell next door and asked: "This is..."
Jiang Zian lowered his head and said, "This is my wife."
Li Yi said in surprise: "Brother Zi'an got married, when did it happen?"
Jiang Zi'an said: "Just last year."
Li Yi looked back at a jailer, who knew immediately and ran over, opened the prison door, and invited the woman over.
"Zi'an, these few..." The woman still didn't know what was going on, she was worried, and she whispered.
Jiang Zian quickly introduced: "This is Lord Li, this is His Royal Highness, this is His Royal Highness..."
It was another courtesy. Jiang Zi'an and the woman were unwilling to sit down at first. Li Yi persuaded them for a long time before they sat down nervously.
Li Yi knew that Li Mingzhu and Li Xuan must be full of doubts now, so he briefly described what happened in Shuzhou to them.
The fateful friendship is true. Without Jiang Zi'an, he and Ruyi would not be able to leave the city safely, and naturally there would be no future affairs.
After knowing the inside story~IndoMTL.com~ Li Xuan looked at Jiang Zian's eyes, and the dissatisfaction immediately disappeared.
Li Yi looked back at the Dali Temple official and asked: "What crime did he commit?"
The Dali Temple official showed a bitter expression and said: "I didn't commit any crime, but Jiang Da is under the command of the Shu King..."
Jiang Zi'an lowered his head. Sometimes, a conviction does not require a certain crime, and it is also right to be implicated in the wrong person.
He looked at Li Yi with a hesitant expression on his face, before he said for a long time: "Master Li, Jiang Zi is guilty of death, but in the past, can you save my lady, she, she is innocent Of..."
"Zi'an!" The woman held his hand and said with a solemn expression: "If you die, I will follow you immediately..."
"Don't be foolish!"
"I was born to be a member of the Jiang family, and death is a ghost of the Jiang family..."
"Then I will divorce my wife..."
"By now, it is too late for you to take a break..."
……
Li Yi's face turned dark. He came here to reminisce about the old days, not to watch them show their affection. He coughed and said: "In recent years, brother Zi'an has been under the hand of King Shu."
Jiang Zian raised his head, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
The woman already understood Li Yi's implication, fell to her knees, and repeatedly said: "Thank you, Sir, thank you..."
In the surrounding cells, everyone smelled the aroma and swallowed the rotten prison rice. Although the decapitated rice was delicious, they felt that these odorous meals were even more delicious in the world...
That woman..., what's the use of kowtow? Can kowtow save you from death?
At this moment, they just feel that if they can eat food like this for the rest of their lives, they will have nothing to ask for...
