worthless [rebirth]

Chen Ling knew that he and Jiang Chi would be leaving the palace in the near future, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

When new flesh grew from the wound on Chen Ling's shoulder, Jiang Chi ordered the imperial physician to prepare a bottle of ointment for removing scars and take it with him. After changing into the clothes of an ordinary son, he boarded a car hired from outside the palace. carriage.

Jiang Chi had no entourage, only a groom driving the carriage.At first, Chen Ling felt that something was wrong, but then he noticed that the groom was tall and burly but walked without making a sound, as if he kept on tiptoe, so he was relieved.

Jiang Chi is not stupid, how can he really take no one with him when he is out of the palace?Growing up in the palace, even if she didn't have the heart to harm others, she still had the heart to guard against others.

However, when Chen Ling went out of the palace this time, Xiaotao was very anxious. She always said that whenever Chen Ling left the gate of Fengwu Palace and went back, he would always hurt himself all over his body. He broke his leg before, and now he was shot by an arrow. Now that he is young and recovering quickly, he can't stand this kind of toss.No matter how good the foundation is, it will be broken if it is tossed too many times.

Chen Ling told her not to worry, saying that she knew her body well.

But what I have to admit is that after the previous few times, he is indeed not as energetic as before.In the past few days, he often falls asleep while reading a book, and sometimes he doesn't even know when Jiang Chi will hug him to bed.

Chen Ling's complexion is indeed good now, but it is still much worse than when he first came to Jiang Country.The cheeks that were not big before are not very fleshy now. The whole face is pale, except for the sharp chin and the eyes that look bigger because of thinness, which makes people feel distressed.

"I heard that the mandarin fish in Chaozhou is good, and the fish meat is plump. You also like to eat fish, so you can eat more and restore the flesh on your face." Jiang Chi naturally pinched Chen Ling's sunken cheeks, Distressed authentic.

Chen Ling smiled, and said, "I'm still raising it... You treat me like a pig."

"No, when you become as fat as a pig and become soft when hugged, I will be even more reluctant to let go." Jiang Chi laughed.

"..." Chen Ling's skin was thin, and Jiang Chi's words made him blush.The space in the carriage wasn't too big. I don't know if it was because the weather was getting hotter or something else. Chen Ling felt his cheeks were getting hot, so he opened the curtain to let the air circulate. At the same time, he asked Jiang Chi about his plan.

"Achi, we're going to camp like this, what should we do when we get there?"

"Don't go to Daying, go to Chaozhou." Jiang Chi said flatly.

"Huh?" Chen Ling looked at Jiang Chi puzzled, "Didn't you go to Daying first?"

"Today, Lu He said that there was news from Chaozhou that Xiao's boat company organized [-] farmers to collectively riot, and Wang Anzhi sent officers and soldiers to kill dozens of people on the grounds of suppressing the rioters." Jiang Chi explained, "What happened in Chaozhou? It can't be delayed anymore." After a pause, he looked at Chen Ling with a smile, and said, "Why, do you want to go to Daying?"

"No." Chen Ling shook his head and said, "It's better to go to Chaozhou first, after all, the situation over there is urgent. It's just..." He looked at Jiang Chi with some anxiety, "Ah Chi, this time you concealed your identity and went to Chaozhou in a low-clothes, but There are riots in Chaozhou again, I am worried that those people will..."

"I know what you're worried about." Jiang Chi reached out and patted the back of Chen Ling's hand to comfort him, and said, "But don't worry, I have my own plan. Since I dare to go like this, I must have a way to get out. Otherwise, even if I'm not worried about them hurting me, I should consider your safety."

"?" Chen Ling looked at Jiang Chi with suspicion.

"Don't believe me?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows, and smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a while."

***

"Cao Xun! Who is Cao Xun?!"

In the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, the jailer found a key from a circle of keys and opened the iron door of a cell.The rusty iron chain was pulled, making a "squeaky" sound.

This is a medium cell with more than 100 prisoners. After the jailer yelled a few times, a tall and thin young man stood up tremblingly in a corner, raised his hand and said, "Yes...it's me."

"You?" The jailer gave him a contemptuous look, and said, "Come out, my lord, for interrogation."

Cao Xun walked out from among the prisoners lying on the ground, and followed the jailer out of the cell.

It has been nearly a month since he was imprisoned here. At the beginning, the lord said that the emperor would interrogate him in a few days, and then he would have the opportunity to present his pleadings to redress his grievances. However, he did not expect to be summoned after so long. .

After waiting in prison for too long, people were dragged out for interrogation every day, and then came back with injuries all over their bodies, or never came back at all. After a long time, Cao Xun also began to wonder if Mr. Lu was with Wang Anzhi , officials and officials protect each other, and want to keep him in prison until he dies of old age, sickness, and death.

Unexpectedly, he just started to be disappointed when hope came.

Following behind the jailer step by step, Cao Xun came to a small torture chamber made of bluestone after turning a few turns.

"Go in, my lord is inside." The jailer said impatiently.

"My lord?" Cao Xun frowned, "Isn't it the emperor?"

"Your Majesty?" The jailer laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny, and sneered, "You want to see the Emperor too? I haven't seen him after working here for almost ten years!" He opened the door to take a picture He kicked Cao Xun's ass, and cursed: "If my lord is willing to see you, it's your ancestor who burns incense. Come in!"

"Hmm!" Cao Xun staggered and fell headlong into the execution room. Before he got up, he was already terrified by the scene he saw.

I saw large and small leather whips, knives, and soldering irons hanging on the walls. There were all kinds of torture racks and tiger benches in the room. The fire in the brazier was now burning brightly. one person.The man lowered his head and remained motionless, unable to tell whether he was dead or alive, but the mottled blood stains on the off-white prison clothes looked shocking.

"You want to sue?" Lu He looked down at Cao Xun on the ground with a deep voice.

"Yes..." Trying to calm himself down, Cao Xun got up, bowed to Lu He, and said: "My lord, you already know who the grass people are going to sue, and you have seen the pleadings. You promise that the grass people will Those who played the emperor, why don't you see the emperor now?"

"Your Majesty has so much to do and has no time to take care of such trivial things as you, so I'll just handle it with you," Lu He said.

"How should my lord handle it?" Cao Xun raised his head with hope in his eyes.He also knew about the Kaifeng Mansion. Since ancient times, the governors of the Kaifeng Mansion have always been upright and good officials, so if you can't see the emperor, it's okay to let Lu He come forward.

"How to deal with it?" Lu He laughed, and said: "Since ancient times, only high-ranking officials have investigated and punished the junior officials under them. How can a low-ranking official sue a high-ranking official?"

"You?!" When Cao Xun heard this, his heart immediately turned cold.

Lu He raised his hand to tell him not to interrupt, and continued: "But it's not impossible, but if everyone of the low-ranking officials impeaches the high-ranking officials, wouldn't the court be messed up? Therefore, the following complaints, first of all, they must be killed fifty times. awesome!"

"Fifty?" Cao Xun was startled, hitting the body with fifty sticks was not a joke, the light ones were hemiplegic, and the severe ones died.

"What's the hurry, I haven't finished yet." When the words were interrupted, Lu He darkened his face in displeasure, and said: "Fifty is just the difference of one rank, if the difference is two ranks, it will be doubled, and You are suing the government, and it is not just a matter of one or two ranks! No matter whether you succeed or not, as long as the pleadings are submitted and accepted by the Kaifeng government, five hundred killing sticks are indispensable, so, Are you going to sue now?"

"!" After listening to Lu He's words, Cao Xun's legs trembled uncontrollably, and finally he just sat down on the ground.Lu He's words are very clear, no matter whether he wins the lawsuit or not, the person who litigates the lawsuit will definitely die. In other words, Lu He is using another method to prevent him from suing Wang Anzhi.

Lu He, like those officials, shielded each other!

"Are you still suing?" Lu He asked coolly.

Cao Xun gritted his teeth and got up, and said one word firmly: "Sue!" Then he added viciously: "And you, the dog official, will be sued together!"

"Very good!" Lu He slapped his hands and laughed, and said to the jailer guarding the side: "Go, give him five hundred killing sticks first!"

"Yes, my lord!" Two jailers stepped forward, set up Cao Xun on the left and right and tied him to a bench, and then each of them was on one side, and there was a muffled sound of "clap" sticks hitting the body.

"Ah!" "Hmm!"

Cao Xun cried out in pain, and passed out after a few blows.

"Stop!" Lu He raised his hand, and the two execution guards immediately stopped.

"Dizzy?" Lu He asked.

"Dark." The jailer replied.

Lu He got up and walked over to check Cao Xun's injuries, and said, "Are you sure you only hurt the flesh and not the bones?"

"Don't worry, my lord, even a small piece of tofu can handle it well, let alone a living person." The jailer said: "Young ones, I assure you, this injury only looks serious and feels painful. Don't look at the half-dead now. Little Baobao He will recover after lying on the bed for two days!"

"That's good!" Lu He nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Now you two take him to the intersection on the outskirts of the city before he wakes up. After that, one or two gray carriages will pass by. You look at the people on the carriage. People put him in the car and come back."

"Yes, my lord!" said the jailer, picked up a sack next to it and stuffed the unconscious Cao Xun into it.

Looking at the back of the jailer leaving, Lu He smiled meaningfully.
