The General Is As Urgent As Law

"It's really embarrassing that Shang Xiang has fallen into this situation today."

"The original appearance came to visit the old man, didn't he come here specially to show mercy to the old man?"

"You and I are officials in the same dynasty, just come and see us off."

"So magnanimous? In the past, the old man really looked away, thinking that this fate was all thanks to the original situation."

"If Prime Minister Shang hadn't gone astray, how could I have the opportunity to sit here and have a drink with Shang... I can't live by doing my own crimes, so how can I rely on others."

"Of course there is, although it's not you."

"Oh?"

"That's all, this old man will serve the country all his life, He Chengxiang will have today's fruit."

"The mistake was that Prime Minister Shang accepted such a disciple back then."

"It's not wrong, it's not wrong. Zhong An's ambition is in the world, and now he is considered an old man's favorite student, so he can't be wrong."

After Shang Xu said this, Jiang also heard him laugh heartily.

After a while, Yuan Zhi continued: "Since it's a foregone conclusion, today I'm here to say goodbye to the Shang Prime Minister. Let's have a drink, can you do me a favor?"

The two seemed to have clinked a glass, and after a while Yuanzhi said again: "It's been seven or eight years, and you've finally become my defeat."

"How do you say this? The old man lost, not you. You know this very well."

"If you hadn't trapped yourself in a cocoon, how could I have such a great opportunity."

"No and no." Shang Xu said, "No matter what, I'd like to thank Yuan Xiang for sending me today."

"You're welcome."

Not long after finishing this sentence, Yuan Zhi came out of the cell, Jiang also lowered his head, and followed another jailer to pretend to lock the door.He glanced at Shang Xu quietly, and saw that Shang Xu was slowly eating the food that Yuan Zhi brought, not at all worried that he would be executed tomorrow.

After Yuan Zhi left, the cell boss never came to talk to Jiang Ye again, and Jiang Ye naturally took over the job of guarding Shang Xu.It's a pity that no one came to visit until midnight, and Cen Lixuan's calculation seemed superfluous.But Jiang also waited earnestly. Before the execution, things might change.

He wanted to ask if the kit was in Shang Xu's hands, but he was not the only one in charge, which was unavoidable. He had been secretly waiting for the opportunity to say a few words to Shang Xu.

In the second half of the night, the howling prisoners from time to time in the prison also subsided a lot. Shang Xu turned his back to Jiang Ye and knelt on the ground.

Jiang Ye had been on guard for a whole day, and in the middle of the night he was inevitably a little tired, so he leaned against a nearby wall and dozed off standing up.

Wei Lin had already come to the sky prison, but he never let Jiang Ye know.It wasn't until he saw him sleepily closing his eyes that Wei Lin quietly walked to his side and stared at his face for a while.

He had said earlier that if there was any change, he would send someone to tell him immediately, so when Yuan Zhi came to visit the prison, he received the news and rushed to the prison immediately.

Wei Lin and Jiang Ye stood side by side. After a while, Jiang Ye seemed to be really fast asleep. He turned slightly to the side, and then fell weightlessly.Wei Lin had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly caught him. Jiang also took advantage of the situation and leaned on Wei Lin, still not waking up.

Quietly in the dungeon, Wei Lin could only hear the breathing of Jiang Ye who was close at hand, with a wonderful power that made his whole heart soften suddenly.It seemed that just listening to his breathing gave him great satisfaction.

Until the silence is broken.

The footsteps of two people suddenly sounded in the aisle. Wei Lin didn't even think about it, and dragged Jiang Ye to the backlit corner of the dungeon to squat down.Jiang Yeben was still in a daze of sleep, but was awakened by the movement, and when he raised his eyelids, he saw Wei Lin very close to him.But he immediately realized that someone was there, and let Wei Lin pull him to hide.

The sound of two footsteps stopped at the door of Shang Xu's cell, and the head of the cell said in a low voice, "This is it."

Jiang Yexin said, I'm afraid this is the real person Cen Lixuan wants him to investigate.

If ordinary people came to visit the prison and found some connections to find a way to come in and visit Shang Xu, they would come in daytime like Yuan Zhi.I dared to visit the prison in the middle of the night, presumably because I didn't want others to know that I had been there.

The prison boss is naturally used to seeing people visiting repeat offenders, so he also collects a lot of money for this, and he doesn't care what the purpose of the person is.

Jiang Ye and Wei Lin were huddled together, not daring to move, for fear of threatening others, especially since Wei Lin was still wearing the armor of the commander of the imperial army.

The head of the cell called Shang Xu, and Shang Xu glanced back, hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran to the cell door: "Lin Chong, you!"

"teacher……"

As soon as this remark came out, both Jiang Ye and Wei Lin's eyes widened in shock.

"Didn't you already..." Shang Xu insisted on not saying the word "death", but his voice was choked up.

The man said: "If it wasn't for escaping by feigning death, the student would have died long ago, it's a pity that the teacher was killed!"

"It's good to live, it's good to live."

In fact, the two of them spoke in a very low voice, but the sky prison is very quiet now, which made it easier for Wei Jiang and the two to hear the conversation clearly.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but wanted to go out to see what happened. Wei Lin held him tightly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Don't scare the snake!" He continued to wait and see together.

"Since you are alive, don't get involved in these things." Shang Xu said, "It was the old man's fault. The so-called world peace is just a dream."

"Why did the teacher say such a thing?"

"Back then, in order to dissuade the Xue family from the idea of ​​invading Sui, they sent you and Zhong An to make a secret plan... Now it seems that it was a mistake after all. Even if the two countries were not at war, there would still be people who died for the power. The world is peaceful , It’s really a fool’s dream.”

"teacher……"

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you'd better go."

The man seemed to have taken out something, handed it to Shang Xu and said, "This is the teacher's favorite wine. The students are incompetent and cannot save the teacher from the shackles."

"It's okay, it's okay, since it's a foregone conclusion, it's a good thing to get drunk and sleep."

After finishing speaking, Shang Xu drank the wine that the man handed over in one gulp.

The two talked a few more words, and the prisoner didn't leave until the prison chief came to remind him.

When the sound of footsteps disappeared completely, Jiang Ye immediately got up from the corner, and Wei Lin followed suit.

"Is that Guo Linchong?" Wei Lin said, "Guo Linchong is not dead?"

"Impossible, that's what I saw with my own eyes!" Jiang also looked serious.

This matter is too strange, Guo Linchong was killed half a month ago, how could he appear in the prison to bid farewell to Shang Xu?Jiang also thought about it, and always felt that the answer to the matter was ready to come out, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Wei Lin suddenly said, "Could it be... the disguise master you mentioned?"

"Yes, it must be him!" Jiang Ye said, pushing Wei Lin twice, "Hurry up and follow! It must be him!"

Wei Lin hesitated for a moment, looked into Jiang Ye's serious eyes, turned his head and chased after him.

If Liu Zhiren really came to visit Shang Xu pretending to be Guo Linchong, and brought wine for Shang Xu to drink, then the purpose is really too obvious-to kill people and silence them.

Jiang also thought of this, and rushed to the cell where Shang Xu was staying, and shouted inside: "Mr. Shang!"

His shout attracted many people, and several jailers who were dozing off were woken up, and they all looked at him and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Ye didn't seem to hear, and looked at the people inside eagerly.Hearing the shout, Shang Xu walked to the fence in a daze and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that Shang Xu didn't seem to be doing well, Jiang also let out a long breath.He didn't know why he felt more relieved, but it seemed like an unconscious action.As long as it was something that the six-fingered man did, it must be a bad thing, so Jiang couldn't let him succeed.

Jiang also thought for a while, and leaned closer to Shang Xu and whispered: "That person is not Vice-General Guo. I saw Vice-General Guo being killed with my own eyes. That person can't be Guo Linchong!"

"You are?" Shang Xu looked at Jiang Ye suspiciously.

Jiang Ye said again: "I'm a member of Vice General Guo, and I know that the Minister of Commerce and Vice General Guo were framed by others!"

"You are Guo..." Shang Xu wanted to say something, but before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, and when he spoke again, there was only a small hissing like a beast.

Jiang also guessed right, the wine was drugged, not to kill Shang Xu, but to poison Shang Xu and make him unable to speak.

In the current situation, Shang Xu naturally understood that Jiang Ye's words were true.He struggled with his throat for a while, trying to speak, but he couldn't even hiss.

In a few hours, Shang Xu will be pushed out to be executed.

Jiang also quickly asked, "Have you ever seen that kit, which is the kit that Deputy General Guo snatched from the thief."

Shang Xu shook his head.

Jiang also told the truth all he knew: "Someone wanted to kill the eldest prince and put the blame on Xue Changfeng, Vice General Guo got the evidence, so he was silenced, if my guess is right, it's that person just now. "

After Shang Xu heard it, his face was full of shock.

He didn't know why Guo Linchong died, but judging by Xue Changfeng's behavior, it is very likely that he was murdered for the sake of the Xue family's crime. If Jiang Ye hadn't impulsively opened up the details here, he might not have known until his death .

Shang Xu thought for a moment, then raised his finger to the saber on Jiang Ye's waist.

"You want a knife?"

Shang Xu nodded.

Jiang also looked around. He had already lowered his voice to talk to Shang Xu as much as possible, and the jailers who were woken up before were dozing off again in a daze.He squatted down, took out the dagger from his boots, and handed it to Shang Xu.

I saw Shang Xu took the knife, and with the other hand, he swept away the straw on the ground first, and then opened a hole in his palm.

Jiang was also taken aback by this action, and almost cried out, and then saw Shang Xu writing on the ground with his fingers stained with blood:

Yan Luo Pavilion, Yun Niang.

The meaning of this is obvious. The news obtained from the border crossing obviously had not reached Shang Xu's ears before he was imprisoned, because no one thought that Guo Linchong would be killed the next day.Since the kiln was used to get the news, Shang Xu's writing on the ground was to ask Jiang Ye to go to Yanluo Pavilion to find this Yun Niang, so that he could get the news and the kit.

Jiang Ye hurriedly asked again: "How can I tell her that you let me go?"

Shang Xu hurriedly fumbled in his inner coat, the blood on his hands was all over his chest, it took him a long time to find out a small and delicate earring, and handed it to Jiang Ye.

Jiang also took it, without looking at it carefully, he put it in his sleeve and said, "If I can find the evidence, I will return Shang Xiang and Deputy General Guo to their innocence."

Shang Xu nodded and returned the dagger to Jiang Ye.Jiang also cupped his hands, turned and left.Shang Xu wiped the blood from the palm of his hand on the words he wrote just now, and carefully covered it with straw.

The keepsake is an earring, and Jiang Ye really didn't expect that Shang Xu, who is nearly sixty years old, still has a relationship with Sister Yao.There is no need to elaborate on this entanglement, Jiang can also think of one or two.
