##

Time seemed to freeze, there was silence in the stuffy prison cell, only the wheezing of the two of them was heard, Zhu Shiyong's body was a little hot, and the beads of sweat on his head began to slowly seep out.

"Fifth Brother Wu, this official knows that you hate me to the bone at the moment, although you can't speak, but what you want to say, this official knows everything." Zhu Shiyong took out a sweat towel, wiped the sweat on his face, sighed, broke the silence and spoke.

The man named Wu Wu lowered his head, and two wisps of vicious gaze shot at Zhu Shiyong from the slit of his dirty hair, and a low roar like a beast came out of his throat, as if he pounced on Zhu Shiyong and bit and devoured it.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, everything you say is indicated by me, I know this very well, the reason why this situation is today, it is not the wish of the official, and the official does not know that Bao Zhenghui will make a mess of things that day, with him in this matter sooner or later, he will touch the melon from the vine, touch me from you, and the official is also very difficult."

Wu Wuge's eyes were full of viciousness and contempt, and he looked at Zhu Shiyong for a moment, if his gaze could be turned into a sharp blade, Zhu Shiyong would probably have been riddled with holes.

"Brother Wu, maybe you should listen to some truths, in this life, in fact, is just a dream, and when you wake up from a dream, there will be nothing, as for the gods and ghosts, it is false, so it is the same thing to go early and late; But why do people in the world have to be busy, just because this dream is too long, or too short, people always want to live freely in the dream, so that this dream becomes a beautiful dream. I don't know if you understand? Zhu Shiyong watched the candle flame jump and flicker blankly, as if talking to himself.

Wu Ge Wu made a series of strange sounds rolling in his throat, but not a single word could be understood.

"Brother Wu, you understand, you don't understand, you have to understand a truth, two people die, it is better than one person to die, the net of fish death cannot be broken, you and I are a melon on a vine, you can touch me along the way, and once I am dug out, I will pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and a large piece will be affected, so I can only cut off this vine from the root to keep the other melons on this vine."

"Brother Wu has been doing a job in my yamen for almost four years, I remember that when you came from Ganzhou, Lord Zhou of Ganzhou recommended you to come to my government to serve as a servant, at that time with his wife and children seven or eight people came to my Luzhou, along the way, the adults and children are not adults, ragged and a group of people called Huazi, five children are so hungry that they are skin and bones, I called the kitchen even to cook three pots of rice is not enough for your family to eat, that situation really makes people cry, it was really bitter at that time."

Wu Wuge's gaze gradually changed from hatred to confusion and deep affection, and big tears welled up in his red eyes, and his mouth whimpered.

"Later, I arranged a house for you in Xicheng, so that you can come to my house to help, and you became my government office, in the past four years, your family has no hunger, no sun and rain, although it is not the work of the official, but the official can be regarded as doing his part, people's hearts are the strength of meat, if there is a trace of possibility, I do not want to come to this point; Do you know that Bao Sheng's subordinate has secretly gone to your mansion, that is, to follow your vine and touch my melon. ”

Wu Wuge's eyes were glazed, looking at Zhu Shiyong's twitching lips and constantly shaking his forehead and beard, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Bao Zheng is a well-known mad dog, and if he bites him, he will never rest, so today I am here to discuss this matter with you, and I hope you can cooperate with me to tide over this difficulty."

Wu Wuge raised his eyes to look at Zhu Shiyong, there was a look of hope in his eyes, Zhu Shiyong was keenly aware of this, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"You know that I, Zhu Shiyong, am not an unsympathetic person, I have been thinking about how to settle your family in the past two days, you are the pillar of the family, once the pillar falls, the old and weak women and children in the family have no way to live, this is not your business alone, but it is related to the lives of seven people in your family, as well as the future of my Zhu Shiyong, and a large group of people behind me Zhu Shiyong, do you understand?"

Wu Ge nodded with tears, and his heart was bleeding at the thought of his old mother and young son having lost their protection or lived on the streets.

"Come to think of it, I have the best of both worlds here, if you agree, we will do it immediately, if you don't agree, how about a long-term discussion?"

Wu Wuge's eyes had completely changed to the color of pleading, and he couldn't stop nodding with tears.

Zhu Shiyong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's right, knowing how to advance and retreat, this is a good man, don't worry, this method is definitely beneficial to you, it will not hurt your life, but also make your old mother, wife and children worry-free." ”

"First of all, you must admit your guilt, you have to admit that the suicide note on Qin Dalang's body was put by you, as for who planted Su Jin, you said that you don't know it, just because the person who framed you found you and paid a huge amount of money to buy you to put the suicide note on the corpse, you forgot your righteousness when you saw your wealth, so you did such a thing in a moment of confusion, and it was easy to do it if you admitted this section."

"As for the fact that I ordered you to identify Qin Dalang's body as a suicide, if you find out, you can only confess to the crime of dereliction of duty, you didn't kill the person, you don't need to bear the responsibility for murder, if you bite your mouth, you will have a way to live, not only your way of life, but also the way of life of your old mother, wife and children in your family, if you reveal half a word, I can spare you, and the people behind me who are higher and more powerful than me will not spare you, they kill your family like crushing a nest of ants."

Wu Wuge nodded in fright, involving the life and death of the old mother, wife and children in the family, it hit his weakness, and he could only obey.

"I have a confession here, which is what this official just said to you, you can draw a charge, this crime will only sentence you to the punishment of stabbing matching, I plan to send you to Cangzhou, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will be escorted on the road with the official servants, and when I arrive in Cangzhou, it is thousands of miles away from Luzhou, and Duanzhou, where Li Bao Zheng went to work, is thousands of miles away, the vast sea of people, where is he looking for you?"

"In this way, you can avoid Bao Zheng's pursuit; At the same time, I will send 100 yuan to your home, and after you arrive in Cangzhou, I will arrange for your mother, wife and children to go to Cangzhou to reunite with you. ”

"Although your tongue has been ruined by these jailers, it is clear which is more important than this small disability compared to the destruction of the family, such the best of both worlds, I don't know what Brother Wu thinks?"

Zhu Shiyong's perfect and sincere words made Wu Wuge rekindle the flame of hope, and he originally thought that he would die, and he planned to fight to the death if he had the opportunity, but when he heard the prefect's words today, he really didn't know whether this prefect was his great benefactor or his great enemy.

Zhu Shiyong took out a folded confession from his arms, slowly unfolded it and walked to Wu Wuge's side, and then took out a brush dipped in dry ink from his waist, adjusted the ink on the tip of the pen in the clear water, and handed it to Wu Wuge.

Wu Wu reached out and grabbed the pen, his arm trembled uncontrollably, and he wanted to draw his name under the confession, but the stroke could not be settled.

"Draw a charge, if you draw a charge, you will live together, if you don't draw a charge, you will die, this official is a member of the four grades of the imperial court, at most the black yarn is not guaranteed, but your family will die." Zhu Shiyong's voice was cold, which startled Fifth Brother Wu and made him feel a chill.

Wu Wuge no longer hesitated, driven by professional habits, he read the confession with Zhu Shiyong's hand, signed his name in the blank space below, and didn't see that the confession was glued together on double paper; I didn't see the one with the confession written on it shortened at the bottom of the drawing, and the faint mark that was glued in the middle was confused.

Zhu Shiyong watched Wu Wu Ge sign his name, laughed and took the confession back and folded it into his arms, picked up his big finger and said to Wu Wu Ge: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and Brother Wu should be Junjie." ”

Yan Bi leaned over and whispered in Wu Wuge's ear: "This official will arrange it and send you on your way as soon as possible." ”

Wu Wuge was grateful, struggling to kneel down and kowtow to Zhu Shiyong; Zhu Shiyong laughed and got up and went out.
