The case of the Cui family and the king of Shu is the most influential and large-scale case in Jingguo for decades.

Not only were dozens of officials and magnates in Kyoto imprisoned for this, but the relevant officials in Shuzhou, who were involved in the case, were also escorted to Beijing and locked up in the cells of Dali Temple.

Overnight, from the high parent official to the prisoner of the order, no one knows what awaits them, if it is just resignation and resignation, or a blessing in misfortune, even if it is exiled to the army, it is not an unacceptable thing, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will be involved too deeply by the king of Shu and sent directly to the guillotine, then there will really be nothing......

At this time, in a cell somewhere in the prison, a young man was clutching his abdomen, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his body trembled.

"Zi'an, Zi'an, what's wrong with you......"

In the next cell, a woman with an anxious face clutched the fence in the middle and asked with concern.

The young man was covered in cold sweat, but he raised his head, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's okay...... it's an old problem." ”

The woman looked at the sweaty young man, turned her head, knelt down with a puff, and hissed: "Lord Guancha, Zi'an has a bad spleen and stomach, please, please don't give him any more moldy food......

The official looked back and said expressionlessly: "It's all here, what else to pick......

The woman was weakly paralyzed on the ground, and in another cell, someone mocked disdainfully: "This is the prison of Dali Temple, if you want to eat well, I'm afraid there is only that severed meal!" ”

In Jingguo, there is an unwritten rule that no matter where the prison is, the prisoner can enjoy a sumptuous meal before the execution, which is called "decapitated rice", which is to hope that the prisoner can eat enough to go on the road and join a good family in the next life......

The moment the severed head is eaten, it means that the prisoner is not long before the execution.

As soon as the man's mocking voice fell, there was a sudden sound of chains being lowered at the door of a cell.

Several jailers opened the cell door and moved a set of tables and chairs inside, and one after another people served delicious food and wine, and the smell of wine and food could be smelled by the prisoners from afar.

"Eight dishes and one soup ......"

The prisoner who spoke just now counted them, and collapsed weakly on the ground, this pungent aroma was not at all comparable to the moldy and rancid meals they ate on weekdays, under what circumstances, would the prison give such preferential treatment to the prisoner?

Guillotine rice, this is guillotine rice!

Lieutenant Jiang's severed head meal has arrived, will they be far away?

The woman's hands grabbed the railing and said in a panic: "Zi'an, Zi'an......"

"Lord Jiang, please ......" The two jailers helped the young man in the cell up and sat down at the table.

Jiang Zi'an looked at the sumptuous meal in front of him in a daze, but he didn't have any appetite, and when he had a stomachache just now, he thought that if he could eat a full meal, it would be worth dying.

Men are always changeable.

He regretted it now, he didn't want good wine and good food, and he didn't want to eat enough, even if he was asked to eat those moldy and rancid meals every day, he was willing to ......

As long as you live, as long as you can live......

Jiang Zi'an struggled to sit up, shook his head and said, "I don't eat, I don't eat ......"

"What, are these meals not to Brother Jiang's appetite?" Li Yi walked into the cell and said in surprise: "It's okay, what Brother Jiang wants to eat, just say it, and I'll ask people to do it again." ”

The voice was so familiar, so familiar that it was etched in his bones.

Jiang Zi'an turned his head and looked at a figure who walked into the cell, and the whole person was stunned in place, as if struck by lightning.

"Li, Brother Li......"

Li Yi walked into the cell, personally helped him to the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

……

Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu walked side by side, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but be surprised.

He prepared such a sumptuous meal just for the people in front of him?

This person, but they don't have much impression at all.

Li Xuan walked over and asked suspiciously, "You know each other?" ”

Li Yi nodded.

"Familiar?"

"Brother Jiang and I......" Li Yi patted Jiang Zi'an's shoulder and said, "It's a lifelong friendship......

"Passing the ......," Li Xuan muttered, and when he looked at the young man, his brows immediately furrowed.

Li Yi pointed at the two of them and introduced him: "This is the eldest princess, this Li Xuan's son." ”

The eldest princess is in power, and Li Xuan Shizi is in charge of the Academy of Sciences, how could Jiang Zi'an not have heard of the names of these two, and hurriedly got up to salute, "The sin minister sees the eldest princess, and has seen His Royal Highness the prince......"

Li Yi looked at the woman in the next cell and asked, "This is ......?"

Jiang Zi'an lowered his head and said, "This is Neiko." ”

Li Yi was surprised: "Brother Zi'an got married, when did it happen?" ”

Jiang Zi'an said: "Just last year. ”

Li Yi looked back at a jailer, and the other party immediately understood, hurriedly ran over, opened the cell door, and invited the woman over.

"Zi'an, these ......" The woman still didn't know what was going on, and she was worried in her heart and whispered.

Jiang Zi'an hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Li, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess, and this is Her Royal Highness the Prince......

After another salute, Jiang Zi'an and the woman were reluctant to sit down at first, but Li Yi persuaded them for a long time before they sat down nervously.

Li Yi knew that Li Mingzhu and Li Xuan must be full of doubts now, so he briefly described what happened in Shuzhou to them.

The friendship of life is true, if there is no Jiang Zi'an, he and Ruyi, I am afraid that it will be impossible to get out of the city safely, and naturally there will be no future affairs.

After knowing the inside story, Li Xuan looked at Jiang Zi'an's eyes, and immediately lost the dissatisfaction just now.

Li Yi looked back at the Dali Temple official and asked, "What crime did he commit?" ”

The official of Dali Temple looked bitter and said: "I didn't commit any crime, it's just that Lord Jiang is under the command of the King of Shu......

Jiang Zi'an lowered his head, sometimes, there is no need for some kind of exact crime to be convicted, and it is also appropriate to follow the wrong person and be implicated.

He looked at Li Yi, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, and he said for a long time: "Master Li, Jiang Zi is innocent of death, but looking at the past feelings, can you save my lady, she, she is innocent......"

"Zi'an!" The woman held his hand and said with a solemn face, "If you die, I will follow you immediately......"

"Don't say stupid things!"

"I was born as a member of the Jiang family, and died as a ghost of the Jiang family......"

"Then I will divorce my wife......"

"By now, it's too late for you to take a break......"

……

Li Yi's face turned a little dark, he came over to reminisce, not to see them show affection, coughed, and said: "In the past few years, Brother Zi'an has been under the hands of the King of Shu. ”

Jiang Zi'an raised his head, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

The woman had already understood the meaning of Li Yi's words, knelt on the ground, and said continuously: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......."

In the surrounding cells, everyone smelled the fragrance and swallowed the rancid prison food, although the severed head rice was delicious, they felt that these smelly meals were even more delicious in the world......

The woman ......, what's the use of kowtowing, can kowtow save you from the death penalty?

At the moment, they only felt that if they could eat a meal like the one in front of them for the rest of their lives, they would have nothing more to ask for......
