Xiao Jingzhe stood in the middle of the cell for a long, long time, her legs were extremely sore, it was getting late, and Ji Ling hadn't appeared yet.

The jailer quickly poured a bowl of water through the gap in the doorway, threw in two moldy steamed buns, and ran away quickly.

One side of the cell corridor was made up of thick wooden piles, and the cold wind blew in from there, and Xiao Jingzhe's stomach made protesting sounds.

Hunger and cold are nothing to him. In the winter of his previous life, he often walked the red carpet in a thin suit on an empty stomach, and he has long been used to the cold and hunger.

What he was afraid of were the grotesque instruments of torture hanging on the walls on both sides, and he couldn't stand any of them being used on him.

Xiao Jingzhe took down an iron basin covered with black silk and carbon ash from the iron frame, poured out the charcoal inside, and placed it upside down in the corner of the wall, bent over and sat on the iron basin leaning against the corner of the wall, with his hands hugging his knees and closing his eyes .

Go to sleep, when you fall asleep, you won't be cranky, you won't be afraid, you won't be cold or hungry.

In the cell next door, which was only separated by a wall from this cell, Ji Ling was holding a light blue orchid brocade handkerchief tightly in his right hand, and was sitting motionless, staring blankly at the empty wall.

His mind was in a mess at the moment, how could the weak, kind, personable Mr. Chu, who would be afraid of the dead, be the same person as the ruthless, murderous, and decisive Xiao Taiwei?

One of them looks down on advocates, the other looks down on officials; one only loves to dance with knives and guns, the other only loves to sing and dance; Personality and knowledge are irrelevant, and there is not even the slightest similarity in fonts.

How could it be the same person?

how can that be possible?

The next morning, in the court hall, hundreds of pieces of cloth were placed in front of Ji Ling, and each piece of cloth had more than 1 names or handprints, all asking to let the Taiwei go.

Prime Minister Zuo was full of anger, and mocked: "There are so many Wanzhi people. Since ancient times, there have never been more than ten thousand people's books. This is the first time I have seen more than ten thousand people's books, and I have seen so many copies at once. It was an eye-opener."

"The Taiwei, who has killed countless people, has a lot of bones in his hands, and has repeatedly committed the crime of treason, suddenly turned things around because of an extremely absurd tax exemption law, from being punished by everyone to worshiped by everyone. It is really ironic. "

"This is only handed over by the people in the Gyeonggi area, and the books of Wanmin from other places are still on the way. From this, it can be seen that the people adore and love the Taiwei very much. The humble minister asked the emperor to execute the Taiwei immediately. If it is delayed, something will happen. "

"Let me think about it."

Ji Ling sat in the cell next to Xiao Jingzhe last night, exhausted all over, and looked even more haggard than Xiao Jingzhe in the sky prison.

All the ministers knelt down and begged: "I ask the emperor to execute the Taiwei immediately."

Only three days later, all the officials who insisted on supporting the Taiwei had been released, demoted or dismissed by Ji Ling, and there was no one in the court who supported the Taiwei.

Ji Ling stood up, picked up a few Wanmin books, and said tightly, "Are you forcing me to fight against the world?"

"Yesterday morning, the Taiwei's charges were announced, and in the afternoon, the mansion newspaper copied and distributed the news. This morning, hundreds of Wanmin Letters have been received."

"The total population of the capital and its surrounding areas is only a few million, and they all support the Taiwei."

"With the status of the Taiwei in the hearts of the people today, let alone the execution of the Taiwei, as long as there is no news of the Taiwei's acquittal in the newspaper tonight, within two hours, millions of people will surround him Palace."

"The imperial palace now has only two thousand troops, and it won't be able to keep a cup of tea."

The left minister came out and said: "We put all our eggs in one basket to bring down the Taiwei, and we must not let him go."

"The people in the capital used to fear the Taiwei the most. Now that they support him so much, the tens of millions of people in other areas must be even more fanatical. As long as the Taiwei is released, he can form an army of millions in less than a day."

"Blindly supported by the common people, crushed by absolute strength, you can overthrow the country and change the dynasty with a snap of your fingers."

"At that time, no one will be able to overthrow the Taiwei, and the absurd tax exemption law will not be abolished. Within three years, the treasury will have no money, the world will be in chaos, and the people will be in dire straits."

"For the sake of the people of the world, the Taiwei must not be released."

"My minister, please kill the Taiwei immediately. After the Taiwei is dead, the common people will be in a state of disunity."

Ji Ling smiled angrily: "Look at the positions of the military officers on the left. There are a total of 82 military officers of the fifth rank or above, and only 52 came. After removing these [-] and [-] military officers who were imprisoned, there are still [-] military officers left. Whereabouts are unknown."

"As long as the Taiwei dies, these seventeen generals will immediately declare themselves kings under the banner of the Taiwei. They will fight each other after killing us, and the world has since fallen into a situation of separatism and melee."

"Young Master Chu and Taiwei Xiao look exactly the same. He used to take the place of Taiwei Xiao and went to court without being discovered. You can secretly execute the Taiwei and let Young Master Chu take over for a while."

"Mr. Chu set off for Yongzhou three days ago. It will take at least two days to recover quickly. The people can't wait."

"Is this how you let the captain go?"

"Not only let him go, but also increase his rank and rank."

"Preach my will. The Taiwei is virtuous, respectful and thrifty. I misunderstood the Taiwei. It was my fault. From now on, I closed my doors and thought about it for two months. Xiao Taiwei was acquitted and granted Xiao Taiwei the title of Zhenbei King. Donghua The mansion on the opposite side of the gate was changed to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and it was given to Xiao Taiwei."

He bet that Captain Xiao or Young Master Chu were still not interested in power.

"The Dali Temple Minister and I will go to meet the Taiwei together and retreat from the court."

The ministers hurriedly bent down and saluted: "My minister will leave."

As soon as the Taiwei gets out of the prison cell, the forces in the court will reshuffle the cards. Anyone involved in dealing with the Taiwei will have no chance of living. They will not be able to escape, so they have to go back and tell their families to leave the capital.

Dali Siqing stood in the same place in a daze, not understanding how the situation had undergone such an earth-shaking change when the Taiwei did nothing in just one night.

Fortunately, he was suddenly timid when he saw the Taiwei yesterday, and he didn't dare to follow the emperor's order, so he tortured Xiao Taiwei severely.

The Minister of Dali Temple held the imperial decree and followed the emperor tremblingly.

Ji Ling also looked unhappy. He finally figured it out, Mr. Chu and Captain Xiao are the same person.

Although Mr. Chu looks cowardly and cowardly, he is very crazy in his actions. If he doesn't want to live, he will be buried with the world. His actions are so crazy that only the Taiwei who killed 10,000+ Huns captives overnight can do it come out.

"Please." At the gate of the Dali Temple prison, Ji Ling stopped and ordered the Dali Temple Qing to speak.

Gods fight, mortals suffer, Xiao Taiwei and the emperor can't afford to offend him.

The Minister of Dali Temple reluctantly moved forward, and said: "My minister complies with the order. If there is any accident during this trip, please ask the emperor to make good arrangements for my family."

"I promise you, go."

"The humble minister has gone."

Dali Siqing moved forward very slowly.

"Just now I received the secret security. If the Taiwei is not released at Youshi, millions of people in the city will besiege the palace. Now there are still two hours before Youshi. The more Aiqing wastes time here, the worse my situation will be." Dangerous, your family is even more dangerous."

"Wei Chen is going now." Dali Siqing quickly ran into the cell.

His fate is doomed, and nothing will happen to his wife and children.

Xiao Jingzhe was still sleeping, it was too difficult to sit and sleep, and the night was dark and windy, the fires in the two braziers at the door swayed with the wind, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes smaller, and the shadows of the soldiers dangled.

Xiao Jingzhe thought that this was the cell used by Dali Temple to interrogate serious criminals, and many people died in it.

It was terrible, Xiao Jingzhe shrank tremblingly in the corner all night, unable to fall asleep at all, only slept for a while when he couldn't open his eyes, and was awakened by a gust of wind after a while.

It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in peace.

The Minister of Dali Temple opened the cell and said in a trembling voice: "My minister sees Xiao Taiwei."

Xiao Jingzhe was still in a deep sleep, unaware and motionless.

Dali Temple Qing Dayi came to the Taiwei awe-inspiringly, knelt down with a bang, held the imperial decree in both hands, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "This minister committed a crime yesterday. He committed a heinous crime that is unforgivable. Now I confess my guilt. I beg the Taiwei to look after you." For the sake of the guilty minister's knowledge, spare the criminal minister's family."

very noisy.

Xiao Jingzhe tried hard to open his eyes, looked at the few beams of sunlight in the middle of the cell, felt a sense of security overflowing his heart, and said with emotion: The sunshine is so good, ghosts are afraid of the sun, as long as there is sunshine, ghosts will not come to him .

Xiao Jingzhe had expected the arrival of Dali Siqing.

Seeing Dali Siqing's posture, he should have escaped for the time being.

Xiao Jingzhe casually picked up the imperial decree and slowly opened it.

It was full of classical Chinese and many rare words, but he only understood the last sentence, which translated into vernacular was to make him King of Zhenbei and give him the mansion of King Zhenbei.

"Hehe." Xiao Jingzhe casually threw the edict aside, "This cell is very good, I don't want to go out."

The Minister of Dali Temple said with a mournful face: "I beg you, Taiwei, get out quickly, if you don't see you before Youshi, millions of people in the capital will rebel."

Millions of people collectively conspiring against him to save him?

It seems that his previous plan worked.

However, his goal has changed now, and he doesn't want to see this situation.

Xiao Jingzhe said indifferently: "This matter should be handled by the emperor, and has nothing to do with me?"

"It's related to you, Taiwei, the emperor's decision is to issue an edict of guilt, release you without guilt, and grant you the title of first-class prince to appease public anger."

"First-class prince?" Xiao Jingzhe sneered in a low voice, mockingly said: "Just one prince can offset the humiliation I have suffered in the prison these days?"

humiliation! ?

This is a living Yan Luo Taiwei Xiao, even if he has no power, no power, no soldiers, no one dares to really bully him.

The minister of Dali Temple hurriedly raised his head, and hurriedly explained: "The rebuilt sky prison is more luxurious and extravagant than the imperial palace. In such a warm weather, the scarce military supplies and fierce kerosene are used to keep warm. Yesterday the emperor ordered the officials to torture you severely. One finger None of the subordinate officials dared to touch you, and out of desperation, they only asked you to change into a prison uniform in order to report to the emperor."

"You are not insulted."

What he said, he was too embarrassed to embarrass him.

But his personality cannot be broken, and his crimes last night cannot be in vain.

"You, resign immediately." Xiao Jingzhe said.

Dali Temple Minister smiled ferociously, and kowtowed one after another: "Okay, okay, I will resign immediately."

Thank God, he didn't apologize with death, and he will burn incense and worship Buddha in the future, thanking heaven and earth for sparing his life.

"Hurry up and help me change my clothes, don't wear this Taiwei officer's uniform, and wear yesterday's red dress."

"Caomin takes orders." Dali Siqing quickly stood up, searched around but didn't see the clothes, and hurriedly said: "Caomin is confused, forgot that the clothes are next door."

"Come here, quickly bring the Taiwei's clothes."

After a while, the extraordinarily luxurious red brocade clothes were brought in. The clothes were neatly folded, and the girdle seal that he cut off with a knife yesterday was placed on it intact.

Xiao Jingzhe picked up the girdle and glanced at the neat stitches sewn on it.

In order to invite him out of the prison, the preparations were quite complete.

Xiao Jingzhe raised his hand and threw the girdle on Dali Siqing's body, and said, "Take it apart and sew it up again, I want to see you sew it yourself."

He has never touched needlework, how can this be?

Dali Siqing quickly said: "Okay, I will sew, I will sew."

"Come here, send needle, thread and scissors."

Dali Siqing picked up the scissors and carefully removed the needle and thread with the same care he used when disassembling ancient books.Then I staggered through the needle and thread, and carefully sewed according to the traces of the old needle holes.But no matter how hard I tried and how many times I got stabbed, the stitches in the end were messy and scattered, and I couldn't bear to look directly at them.

"Sewing, it's finished." Dali Siqing hesitated and handed it over.

Xiao Jingzhe glanced at it, and said, "It's too ugly, the heavy seams have been removed."

"The grassroots take orders."

Dali Siqing took out the stitches again and resewed them again. This time he worked harder than last time, and the mending was better than last time, but it was still too messy to bear to look at.

"Ugly, heavy seams."

"Go here."

Dali Siqing once again took out the stitches and sewed them up again, this time it looked a little better than last time.

"Heavy sewing."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Dali Siqing said cautiously: "How do you think the sewing is going this time?"

This is the 12th time that No. [-] has been dismantled and re-stitched.

Xiao Jingzhe didn't even look at it, and said, "Ugly."

He was ashamed to face Ji Ling, he didn't want to go out.

It is hoped that a catastrophe will fall immediately and let him die on the spot in this cell.

If the Taiwei doesn't go out, the world will be in chaos!

Taiwei is not afraid of becoming a sinner in the world, he is afraid, he cannot bear this responsibility.Dali Siqing was anxious with tears in his eyes, and said: "If you take off the girdle again, it will be ruined. You can't sew it up again."

"I beg you, Taiwei, go out. No matter how you want to humiliate the grassroots after you get out, the grassroots will be willing to do so without any complaints."
