Lan Ziyi felt that the scene in front of him flashed like a marquee,

It seems that he is not himself, but someone else,

Nothing in the world has anything to do with him,

He was like an observer, just watching it all unfold without participating in it.

When the old official asked who Lan Ziyi was, the first to react were the Tao brothers in the other cells and Zhou Buhui next to Lan Ziyi.

When the official untied Lan Ziyi's shackles and helped him out of prison,

Lan Ziyi came back to his senses a little, and scolded:

"You have no king's law, you are in the grass mustard people's lives, I want to play the court to know these things! Stop, stop! ”

The old official just had a weak "um" and said:

"Wei Hou occasionally felt the cold, was not accustomed to the water and soil, and was frightened, so it was better to recuperate first."

Saying that, no matter how Lan Ziyi and the others cursed, he led the officials and helped Lan Ziyi and his party out of prison.

As the cell door closed behind him, inhuman screams and the sound of jailers beating him for accountability continued to be heard inside.

When Lan Ziyi came back to his senses completely, he had been sitting in the Taishou Mansion for a long time, and it was probably the end of the day.

Lan Ziyi was sitting in the inner hall behind the mansion, wrapped in a blanket, and the old official was pouring wine for Lan Ziyi.

After the old official poured it, he handed it to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou is frightened, come, drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock."

Lan Ziyi took the wine glass and drank it all, and as the liquor entered his throat, he was considered to have calmed down.

The old official slowly sat down on the chair next to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Old Fu Luo Yingmin, but the old capital is too guarded, why don't you report in advance since the Marquis is passing by, and the official should make arrangements as soon as possible."

Lan Ziyi didn't care too much, and asked to himself:

"How's my guy?"

The old official took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"The identity of Commander Zhou has been confirmed, and he went back to the inn just now; Your guards have just gone to identify your captors, and now they are resting in their guest rooms. I have long suspected that the traitors have infiltrated the yamen, and sure enough, this head catcher clearly wants to kill people with a knife, and get rid of Wei Hou in the name of the government so as to complete their treacherous plan to destroy my Taizheng country. I have already put the head catcher, the shopkeeper who identified you, and the innkeeper all into prison, and ordered someone to interrogate first, Wei Hou can rest assured. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard that he was still being interrogated, his heart was like beating a gong and drum, and fear, anger, and shame surged into his heart together.

Lan Ziyi looked at Taishou and said angrily:

"Taishou-sama! What are you interrogating? What are you going to interrogate about those innocent people? “

Taishou took another sip of tea and said slowly:

"Innocent? No way? Wei Hou's guards just told me that on the way to the old capital, Wei Hou witnessed the mob stealing food, and he was almost robbed. How can you say that those people are innocent? “

Lan Ziyi's eyes widened angrily and roared:

"But you're arresting people! How many of the people you arrested were involved in the food grabbing? “

Taishou put down the teacup, shook his head and said:

"Since Wei Hou said that I arrested the wrong person and was an eyewitness, why don't you help the official identify the mob involved in the grain grabbing?"

"This ......" Lan Ziyi was speechless for a while, after all, the situation was chaotic at that time, and there were many people grabbing food, how could he still remember who was with whom?

Lan Ziyi was blocked, but suddenly thought of another point, and then questioned Taishou:

"My lord, you say that the farmers who robbed the grain are plotting to rebel, and the passing travelers from the north are doing their work, what can you say about this kind of fantastical crime imposed on others? After the battle on the grassland is over, what are you sending to do with the meticulous work? ”

Taishou yawned and said slowly in that unhurried voice:

"Although Nuo Nuo was defeated, but Qiu Dou's remnant party was not destroyed, and my heart will not die. Since the beginning of this month, there have been three grain grabbing incidents in a row, if it weren't for Nuo Nuo's instigation of rebellion, then please ask Wei Hou to tell my official why my people of Taizheng want to rob Taizheng's military rations? ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The sage has a cloud, 'the gentleman is virtuous, the villain is virtuous, and the wind on the grass will be gone', if the people are too simple under the rule and the sage's education can be implemented, then the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment, and they may come out to riot and grab food!"

When Taishou heard Lan Ziyi say this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from his seat.

Lan Ziyi originally thought that this Taishou was old and dizzy, and he couldn't stand the toss, but this jump made Lan Ziyi himself jump.

Taishou paced back and forth in the guest hall, excitedly muttering to himself:

"That's right, indoctrination is not good, the people's customs are stubborn, so it is necessary to work carefully to incite the people to rebel unscrupulously, why didn't I think of this, hahahaha, yes, yes, yes, this indoctrination is not good."

Then Taishou shouted:

"Someone! Missionaries! ”

Lan Ziyi didn't know what Taishou wanted to do when he heard this, but he didn't finish his words, and he had to continue, so he stood up and wanted to speak, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that the world was spinning, and then he fainted on the ground.

The last conversation Lan Ziyi heard before he lost consciousness was that Taishou asked the officials

"What's going on? Why did Wei Hou faint? ”

"Lord Hui, Wei Hou's head is hot, and he has a fever."

"Huh? Hurry up and get someone to the bedroom. Go get a doctor, quick! ”

==========================

Lan Ziyi felt that he was getting bigger and smaller, and the space around him was getting bigger and bigger.

I don't match the space around me, and I'm either compressed or vacant, and I'm so uncomfortable that I'm dying.

Lan Ziyi dreamed that he was caught by the jailers, put on the torture instrument, and the whipping and burning followed.

And he had nowhere to run, he couldn't scream, he could only watch himself being tortured.

Slowly the situation eased, and the space gradually became larger with itself, smaller with it, and then it stopped changing, and both quieted down.

Then Lan Ziyi seemed to return to Luoyan Pass, standing on the ridge with his father and looking into the distance.

Later, Lan Ziyi seemed to see his mother, and only heard his mother say to him:

"Wu'er, there is still a long way to go, walk slowly."

Then Lan Ziyi felt himself lying back on the bed, he felt his body, he felt the sunlight outside the window,

As soon as Lan Ziyi opened his eyes, he heard Tao Zhulu on the side say:

"Big brother! Third brother! The young master is awake! ”

Then I heard footsteps, and when Lan Ziyi opened his eyes, he saw the three of them huddled in front of the bed, and Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhutu all looked like they were crying urgently.

Tao Zhuhu said worriedly:

"Young master, you are awake, you have been asleep for two days."

Lan Ziyi opened his mouth to speak, and found that he was powerless,

"Big brother, I want to drink water."

Before the words fell, Peach Chase Rabbit had already brought tea, and Peach Chase Deer helped Lan Ziyi up,

Seeing that it was tea, Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"Third brother, I don't want to drink tea, I just want to drink water."

When Tao Zhutu heard this, he immediately poured the tea on the ground, turned around and took the water cup from the maid behind him and handed it to Lan Ziyi.

Seeing Lan Ziyi drinking water, Tao Zhutu said happily:

"Young master, let's drink some water first and nourish our spirits. I'll be able to get out of bed later, just say whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you. I heard that the donkey broth and potstickers in the old capital are a must, so I'll buy you one. “

Next to the peach tiger said:

"Can the young master eat those raw things when he is recovering from a serious illness? Later, I will ask the cook of Taishou Mansion to get some porridge and raise it first. “

Peach Rabbit scratched his head and grinned as he listened.

Hearing the Taishou Mansion, Lan Ziyi remembered the events of that night again, he lay back on the bed and asked:

"Are we still in the old capital?"

The Tao brothers nodded.

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Still guarding the yamen?"

The Tao brothers nodded again.

Tao Zhutu thought that Lan Ziyi was still angry about being arrested that night, and said:

"Young master, the head catcher who caught us that day and confessed that our shopkeeper and innkeeper have been beheaded, this breath has come out, don't be angry."

Lan Ziyi heard that the head catcher and the shopkeeper were beheaded, and he didn't feel good in his heart, because how did he look at it, it looked like Taishou shirked his responsibility and killed people, but the reason for the killing was on himself.

Lan Ziyi turned his face to the bed and asked bitterly:

"Why didn't you stop the jailers who tortured them that night?"

The Tao brothers looked at each other when they listened, and Tao Zhuhu said first:

"Young master, in fact, I have seen that scene, but it was not as ruthless as this time before."

Tao Zhulu said:

"We all had paperwork and were all caught, and it was definitely not a smart move to talk too much at that time."

Peach Rabbit said haha:

"Young master, don't blame us, didn't you make a sound......"

Before the words were finished, Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer gave Peach Chase Rabbit a look, and Peach Chase Rabbit saw that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly swallowed the rest of the words back.

But Lan Ziyi still felt cramping when he heard this, and he twisted his face more and more.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was the old and drowsy voice of Taishou.

"I said earlier that Wei Hou is in good health, and this little illness is not a problem."

Seeing Taishou coming in, the Tao brothers didn't have a good face, and they didn't salute and just stood aside and got out of the way.

Taishou didn't know whether he didn't see the actions of the Tao brothers or pretended not to see it, so he walked to Lan Ziyi's bed with a smile on his face, sat down and said:

"How does Wei Hou feel? I invited the best doctor in the old capital to see, and the doctor said that Wei Hou was just wearing thin clothes and was infected with wind and cold, and Wei Hou's body must be fine with a little illness. “

Hearing this peach chasing rabbit said:

"Thinly dressed? My young master has everything from winter clothes to summer clothes, all of which are in his luggage, if he hadn't been pressed into the prison in his pajamas that night, he would have contracted the cold? You can really say that. “

Taishou just smiled and said:

"That's a head-hunting, a conspiracy to rebel, he has been beheaded, just rest assured."

Lan Ziyi looked at Taishou's face, and only wanted to smash his face with a punch, but his body was weak, and it was not a good thing to be angry at this time, so he had to ask:

"According to my Taizheng law, the death penalty needs to be approved by the Criminal Department and submitted to the emperor for approval before it can take effect, and Lord Taishou killed people so quickly, but it violates the law."

Taishou smiled slowly and leisurely:

"That's a death sentence, of course you need to go through the process; This time it was a rebellion, and according to my Taizheng law, the local governor had the right to take all means according to the situation, and the official was just fulfilling his duties and being loyal to the emperor. “

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"It is said to be a rebellion, but where is the evidence?"

Taishou smiled:

"The prisoners have all been recruited, and the details of the confessions have been recorded, from the top to the bottom, all kinds of accomplices, the time and place of the rebellion, and who are the detailed works that come and go. This group of rebels is the whole clan and the whole clan participating in the rebellion, there are a large number of them, and the relationship is complicated. However, this official has sent out to catch the remaining fish that have slipped through the net, and I believe that this group of anti-thieves will soon be able to catch them all. ”

兰子义 says:

"Your confession was all extorted by torture, and there is no actual evidence."

Taishou said slowly:

"According to my Great Righteous Law, the use of punishment against people is a natural and necessary method. Does Wei Hou have an opinion on my Taizheng Law? ”

Lan Ziyi stared at Tai Shou, as if a mouthful of spit was on his face, and then asked:

"Your confession doesn't explain why the whole clan rebelled."

Taishou laughed and said:

"Yes, but this is all the result of the ineffective work of the old capital scholar and political envoy, and the result of no way to educate, if he can do his best to educate the people, he will not let so many people be bewitched and betrayed by the monarch. I have already gone to the imperial court to impeach the academic and political envoys, and I am waiting for the approval of the imperial court. ”

Lan Ziyi exclaimed:

"What did you say?"
