Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 417 Prison cell!

On the way, the eunuch chatted with Wu Zhi without saying a word.

I am also feeling sorry for Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi has made outstanding achievements and has done a lot of things for Song Dynasty, all of which are for the good of Song Dynasty.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with killing Duke Wei this time.

Wei Guogong is indeed not a good thing.

The eunuch said: "That day in the court hall, many veteran officials were trying their best to deal with King Yan. Prime Minister Zeng kept defending him, but Prime Minister Zeng proposed to call you back first. Only then did the tense situation be eased."

"Hehe!" Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The officials didn't want to kill me, otherwise this imperial decree would not be like this, and Zeng Xiang is my teacher, so I expected to speak for me, right...then How is Cai Jing in the court?"

Eunuch: "Cai Xiang didn't say a word!"

"En!" Wu Zhi nodded, and then asked again.

After some understanding, Wu Zhi roughly knew that it was Zhang Lingduo and Zhou Huaide who were advocating punishment for himself, and insisted on holding on to the iron certificate of the Danshu.

Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly thinking that these veterans and Duke Wei are of the same mind.

In addition, reforming the new law by themselves violated the interests of these people, so they wanted to get rid of themselves.

Instead, they seized a wave of opportunities.

The eunuch said: "King Yan, if my edict had been sent in time before, perhaps this matter would not have happened!"

No matter what the eunuch thinks, being with King Yan at this moment is naturally to curry favor, and he dare not offend at all.

However, Wu Zhi smiled at the eunuch outside the window: "Thanks to your imperial decree being a little late, otherwise this king would really have resisted the decree."

The eunuch was taken aback, what does this mean?
He quickly understood Wu Zhi's thoughts.

So even if there was an imperial edict, would Wu Zhi kill Wei Guogong?

If this is the case, King Yan was said to be bold by Zhang Lingduo and the others, it seems that it is true!

Isn't this audacious!
Eunuch: "King Yan, if His Majesty is really forced to do nothing by them, will you..."

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled and said: "This is not possible. If you want to kill me, kill me early. The more they want to kill me, the more the officials will protect me. If they insist on persecuting the officials, the only bad luck is It could be them! If they want to kill me, it will be done on them!"

The eunuch saw Wu Zhi's eyes were flat.

It is also extremely confident to say such a thing.

I can't help being shocked.

In the eyes of the eunuch, King Yan's self-confidence was extremely strong.

That is a certainty.

A feeling as if everything is in the chest.

The way people look at King Yan, they will naturally feel more at ease. Of course, the matter of King Yan has nothing to do with him.

It's just that the eunuch feels this way.

I can't help feeling that it's no wonder that King Yan has reached his current status and power, he is indeed very human!

This determination and indifference are not comparable to ordinary people.After all, this is not a trivial matter, the scourge of being decapitated at any time, but King Yan is very calm.

As time passed slowly.

Wu Zhi and a group of eunuchs also arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.

The eunuch arched his hands: "King Yan, we will escort you here, and the people from Kaifeng will take over next. Please take care of King Yan!"

No matter what the eunuch is thinking, whether he hopes Wu Zhi will be well or Wu Zhi will be decapitated, but he cannot be sloppy in front of King Yan.

The proper etiquette should be thoughtful, without any offense.

Originally, Wu Zhi was supposed to be escorted back by them, but in fact he was escorted all the way, and they looked worried when they parted.

All this is because Wu Zhi's status is too high.

In fact, he traveled all the way here.

Delicious food, good hospitality, neither hungry nor cold, it is also pleasant to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Now the snow has begun to melt.

According to the imperial decree, Wu Zhi would enter the cell after he came here, so they escorted Wu Zhi directly to the cell.

Prison disaster.

A lot of people go in, but most likely they won't come out, either they die inside or they are sent out.

There is absolutely nothing good about being thrown into prison.

Entering the prison, ordinary people imagine that the inside must be dark, damp, dirty, and smelly.

There are cockroaches and rats everywhere.The prisoners inside were all rotten rice and rotten vegetables.

I also sleep on the grass, and I will definitely live here like a year.

However, after Wu Zhi entered the cell, these places were nowhere near him.

His place is very spacious and bright. Although it is not comparable to a palace, it is still a first-class house.

It doesn't look like a prison cell, but like a small courtyard of a wealthy family.

Wu Zhi sat on the chair with a calm face.

The jailer in charge bowed: "King Yan, it's messy and inconvenient here, we'll just wait outside. If King Yan has anything to ask, just ask!"

Wu Zhi nodded: "Go down!"

Wu Zhi sat on the chair, not like a prisoner, but like an uncle, gently shaking the rockable chair, basking in the sun very leisurely.

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and the jailer stepped back respectfully.

Don't bother.

It's very clean.

It is very different from the environment where other prisoners live.

Wu Zhi opened his eyes a little, and found that the jailers around him were much stronger than ordinary people, and Wu Zhi didn't care.

Not to mention these people, even if there are thousands of troops here, it would be easy for Wu Zhi to break out.

Wu Zhi, a prison cell here, can be smashed with a single punch.

For him, the jailer is just for his dispatch, and has no practical meaning of guarding him.

Wu Zhi thought it should be specially arranged by Song Huizong.

If it is an ordinary large prison, it is dirty and messy, and the execution has not yet been executed. I am afraid that in this environment, he will either be poisoned to death by outsiders or infected by the plague. In short, anything can happen here.

These jailers are here to protect Wu Zhi's safety.

It's really rare to be in jail to this point...

Wu Zhi has committed a crime now, and if he doesn't solve it for a day, the court will not stop.

Those old ministers will definitely continue to chatter, and will not let Wu Zhi go.

In the court the next day.

Zhang Lingduo: "Your Majesty, Wu Zhi deserves to die for his crimes. Now the time has come to execute him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wu Zhi is so daring and heinous. Simply ignoring the iron certificate of the Dan book is enough to convict him. There is no need for interrogation. Your Majesty can choose a time to execute him, preferably at noon today!"

"Your Majesty, if this person is not killed, he will violate the laws of the Song Dynasty. What will the officials of the world think?"

Many old ministers stood up and said these words that made Wu Zhi die.

Song Huizong did not make a decision for a long time, and these people were also a little anxious.

In fact, what some of them said was a bit persuasive, which was a bit disrespectful to Song Huizong.

Zhou Huaide: "I visited King Yan before, and the cell he lives in is actually better than the houses of ordinary rich and noble people, and the jailers are also used by him. Your Majesty, Wu Zhi is a criminal. Not only did he not use torture, but he enjoyed happiness in the cell. What's the point of this?"

"That's right, the prison cell has always been a place to suffer, but King Yan is more comfortable than anyone else in it!"

"My minister heard that His Majesty meant it!" Zhou Huaide said.

Hearing this, Li Yan stood up.

Although he may not be facing King Yan, but if His Majesty is under attack, he must show his loyalty.

"presumptuous!"

Li Yan shouted violently: "Do you need to comment on how the officials do things? Do you think that the officials are deliberately protecting King Yan?"

Zhang Lingduo glanced at Li Yan, a small chief eunuch, if he hadn't been with the official, Zhang Lingduo and the others would have liked to kill him immediately.

After this scolding, they didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, Song Huizong finally spoke: "Wu Zhi's case needs to be investigated. This matter has not yet been clarified. We must wait for the investigation to make a decision. Before the truth is found out, you should stop mentioning it!"

After Song Huizong said this, everyone looked at each other, not saying anything.

In fact, where does this matter need to be investigated?

It is clear that the officials deliberately shielded Wu Zhi and did not want him to die.

They didn't dare to break skin with the officials, but they couldn't just let Wu Zhi go so easily.

As long as they exert pressure every day, there will always be a day when Song Huizong can't bear it.

Once Song Huizong ordered the execution of King Yan, their purpose was achieved.
