I'm a bully in troubled times

Jiang Yu glanced back quietly, and saw that Qi Ranming also knelt down with the reformers.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't kneel, the Marquis of Yan can't execute him now.But kneeling was to show his attitude - he was on Jiang Yu's side.

"Life for life..." Marquis Yan narrowed his eyes, "This punishment is too heavy. After all, you were only negligent, but you are not responsible for killing Zhuo Yi."

"Shen Aiqing," Marquis Yan suddenly called Master Shen and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

"This..." Mr. Shen cheered up. Dong Xiong was finally able to avenge his dismissal. He said hastily, "I thought that Lord Suiyang was the official responsible for the reform. Lord Suiyang is also to blame for what Lord Suiyang did. Therefore, I think that Lord Suiyang should be removed from his position and ordered him to stay in the mansion and reflect on his mistakes. As for the other officials involved in the case, they should all be punished one by one. disposal."

"Resignation?" Marquis Yan glanced at Jiang Yu and dismissed Jiang Yu. Who will do things for him?Dismissal is impossible.

Jiang Yu lowered his head, guessing in his mind what the Marquis of Yan might do.Most likely, it was just a punishment, maybe a little heavier, to appease Zhuo's anger and the grievances of the people in Lizhi, and turn the big things into small ones.

"Your Highness!" At this time, another conservative stood up, fearing that the Marquis of Yan would not deal with Jiang Yu, and said, "Zhuo Yi's death is not an isolated case. In fact, such cases have occurred in various places, but it is not like Zhuo Yi's. Make trouble in front of you, the king."

"Here are the news sent from various places compiled by the ministers. Please have a look at it, Your Highness." The man presented a memorial.It seems that they came prepared today, and they will not stop until Jiang Yu is suppressed.

"Huh?" Marquis Yan frowned, then glanced at Jiang Yu again, "Bring it up."

"Yes."

The servant presented the booklet to Marquis Yan, Marquis Yan took it and looked at it, his brows became more and more wrinkled.Recently, Jiang Yu was busy, and he was also busy, devoting all his time and effort, he was old and had old diseases, not as young and healthy as Jiang Yu, so he couldn't bear it.Take medicinal food every day to adjust.

After reading the memorial, Marquis Yan's complexion became even worse. He looked at Jiang Yu and said, "What did you tell the widow that day? You said you didn't want to be quick, but to be safe. Now? See for yourself!"

Yanhou threw the booklet in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu opened it and took a look.In a country with a vast territory, a large population, and old aristocrats everywhere, the resistance to reform is unimaginable.Therefore, it is inevitable that some situations like Zhuo Yi's will appear.

"Your Highness." The reformers felt something was wrong, and stepped forward to intercede for Jiang Yu.

"Needless to say." Marquis Yan raised his hand to stop them, and asked Jiang Yu, "What else do you want to say?"

Jiang Yu bowed his head and said: "The minister is incompetent and has failed the king's kindness. Please punish him, Your Highness."

To say that Jiang Yu is incompetent, there are not many capable people in Yan Kingdom.

Marquis Yan waved his hands wearily: "I'll let you off your face."

"Come here, take Sui Yang Jun down and put him in the prison."

As for how to deal with it after being locked in the sky prison, there is no detail.

"The rest of the people should also be locked up together."

"Yes!" The guard came in response.

Jiang Yu took off the hat on his head, put it on the ground, then stood up, saluted Yan Hou again, and was led out of the Golden Palace by the guards.

"Your Highness!" Master Shen was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Marquis Yan arranged this way, as if Jiang Yu was going to be released after two days, "Mr...."

"Shen Aiqing, you don't need to say any more. The widow has already punished Jiang Yu and put him in the sky prison. Do you really want the widow to kill him before giving up?"

"No, Your Highness is serious, the old minister didn't mean that, the old minister..."

"The widow is exhausted." Marquis Yan closed his eyes and rubbed his temples again, "It's nothing, so let's retreat."

Before getting up, Marquis Yan glanced at Ji Chunshen who stood there silently from beginning to end. Jiang Yu and Ji Chunshen grew up together, how loyal Jiang Yu was to Ji Chunshen?But now that Jiang Yu was in trouble, Ji Chunshen didn't say a word.

Yan Hou shook his head, sighed, got up and went back to the harem.

As soon as Marquis Yan left, all the reformist officials caught up with Jiang Yu and stopped the guards.

"Jun Suiyang!"

"Jun Suiyang, it's all my fault..."

"Don't worry Sui Yang, we will definitely ask His Highness to let you out!"

"In the past few days, Sui Yang Jun has to be patient."

Jiang Yu smiled, and replied to the officials: "It's okay, I did, and His Highness punished me as it should be, so you don't have to worry."

"But His Highness has locked you in the sky prison, why don't you worry?"

Jiang Yu looked at Qi Ranming.

Qi Ranming followed the officials and looked at Jiang Yu from a distance, with distress and sadness hidden in his eyes.

I was doing my best to serve the country and the people, and I could enjoy the glory and wealth without seeking anything else, but I had to choose such a difficult and dangerous path.This time it was just locked in the sky prison, what about next time?

Will Marquis Yan always be able to withstand the pressure and protect Jiang Yu?

While Qi Ranming was staring at Jiang Yu in a trance, Jiang Yu passed through the crowd and walked in front of Qi Ranming.He leaned over with a smile, hugged Qi Ranming in front of everyone, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid, I will be fine. Yanhou still wants to use me, it is impossible to execute me, if I don't come I'll be out in half a month."

Qi Ranming whispered: "...Then what about the next time? What about the next time? Can you ensure that you will not be executed?"

Jiang Yu was silent, then smiled again, let go of Qi Ranming, stroked his face and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that incompetent."

The two behaved intimately, hugging each other and whispering, although others could not hear what they said clearly, but looking at Jiang Yu's actions, they felt that there was something strange that could not be explained.

This look, this movement, is a bit too affectionate...

"Okay, I'm leaving." Jiang Yu said, "You don't want to go to the prison to see me, you know, so as not to be caught saying that I form a clique for personal gain."

Qi Ranming frowned, feeling that the reason was far-fetched.But since it was Jiang Yu who said it, there must be his reason, so Qi Ranming could only nod his head.

Saying goodbye to Qi Ranming, Jiang Yu turned back to the other officials and said: "In the days when Jiang is not around, I have to trouble your lords to worry a lot. The reform must not stop, but please take this as a warning, and remember Don't be greedy for success and rush for quick success, otherwise it will be counterproductive and easy to be caught."

"We understand, Lord Suiyang take care of your health, we are here waiting for Lord Suiyang to return."

When they were taken to the prison together with those officials, Mr. Jia was weeping, and kept saying along the way: "It is the lower officials who have implicated Lord Suiyang, and let Lord Suiyang follow the lower officials to suffer in this prison..."

When they entered the prison, those people were locked in a room next to Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu was in a room alone.

Jiang Yu listened impatiently to Mr. Jia's rambling and repeating words, and said, "If Mr. Jia really thinks so, why don't you remember to be careful when you go out in the future, and don't rush in again."

"Is there still time to go out?" Mrs. Jia said, "I'm afraid there will be no way out for the lower officials, the lower officials have done such things..."

Jiang Yu said to him through the wall: "As long as Mr. Jia remembers the lesson and improves in the future, Jiang will naturally not let Mr. Jia die in prison like this."

Mrs. Jia was both surprised and delighted: "Sure, really...?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

Lord Jia wiped away his tears, and immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Yu: "If Lord Suiyang can really save the life of this subordinate, after he is released from prison, he must remember the lesson well, never repeat the same mistakes, and live up to Lord Suiyang's high expectations."

Jiang Yu nodded and said nothing more.He knew that his days would be much more difficult than these people.

It was cold and humid in the sky prison. Although it was May now, the temperature in the sky prison was still like late spring and early summer.Jiang Yu's clothes were thin, so she couldn't help being a little cold.

There were some dry straws piled on the ground, and the rat could faintly be heard gnawing on something.There is a two-foot-wide small bed near the wall, which is narrower than the single beds in the school. The bottom is a hard board, and the bedding is also very thin, but compared to other places in this cell, it is still clean.

Jiang Yu lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down on the small bed.

It was rare for those old nobles to let him fall into their hands. At this moment, he was wearing chains on his hands and feet, and he was completely like a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. How could these old nobles not do something?

Jiang Yu didn't wait for his prison meal that day.

But did not wait for troublemakers.

It seems that they want to play psychological tactics, starve Jiang Yu for two days first, and hang him here.

The next day, Jiang Yu waited for his first meal: rotten steamed buns, porridge that was so clear that it was almost watery, and a small pile of salty pickles.

This reminded Jiang Yu that when he was in school, his divorced parents didn't want him to be a fool, so he stayed at his aunt's house.My aunt was a bit mean. He was dependent on others, and he didn't want to ask his aunt for money. When he was in school, he had no food, so he did some part-time jobs by himself. He didn't make much money. He often ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge for a meal.

The prison food was worse than the food he had at that time.

Jiang Yu was so disgusted that he didn't want to eat, so he only drank saliva to avoid lack of water.

He has internal strength, and he won't be hungry like ordinary people.But water is a must.

On the third day, the troublemaker finally came.

In the past three days, Jiang Yu couldn't eat well or sleep well. Of course, his energy was not as good as usual, but his expression was still calm.Seeing Master Shen bringing people, he showed no fear, instead he smiled and said, "Master Shen is old and weak, why did he come to a place like the Heavenly Prison? It's cold and humid here, Master Shen, be careful about your waist leg."

"Bold!" said the jailer beside Lord Shen, "You actually talk to Lord Shen like this! Do you think you are still the old Suiyang Lord?"

Jiang Yu snorted: "You are so bold, what identity do you use to talk to me like this?"

The jailer's face was suffocated, and when he thought of Lord Shen by his side, he was full of confidence. He pretended to be arrogant and said: "When you see Lord Shen, you still don't salute him? Don't forget, you have been deprived of your post by His Highness. You are a concubine." people!"

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Ms. Jiang has not been able to eat or sleep well these two days, and has no strength, so she will not salute Lord Shen. Lord Shen has always been lenient to others, so you don't think you care about these small things?"

"Heh, Jiang Yu," Lord Shen sneered, "don't be too complacent, I'm going to kill you sooner or later."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Master Shen, are you implying that you will kill me like Master Dong poisoned my uncle?"

"It doesn't matter how clever your mouth is," Shen Daren said, "Now the monarch is not around, so he can't protect you. Besides, what kind of dirty methods did you use to slander Master Dong, do you need me to tell you?"

"I don't understand Master Shen's words," Jiang Yu said, "Master Dong's case was investigated by the monarch himself. If I did something wrong, wouldn't the monarch be able to see it with his brilliance and martial arts?"

Lord Shen squinted his eyes: "You should save some effort and think about how to get out of this prison alive."

"Does anyone dare to murder me in this prison?" Jiang Yu didn't take it seriously, "This is in the capital, under the eyes of the king, Lord Shen really thinks that the king will let you do such mischief?"

"Mr. Sui Yang knew he was guilty and committed suicide in the sky prison. What does it have to do with me?" Master Shen said, and immediately raised his chin, "Take him away."

Jiang Yu smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm sorry to bother the two guards, but Jiang really doesn't have much strength."

The more Jiang Yu laughed, the more Mr. Shen felt that this person was abominable.He wanted to see Jiang Yu frightened and weeping, not seeing him still smiling.

Master Shen flicked his sleeves: "You won't be able to laugh later."
