Happy Little Scholar

Unlike the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto who have indeed committed heinous crimes, the officials in Shuzhou who were implicated by the King of Shu are actually not that vicious themselves. They may have committed some acts of plundering people's wealth and oppressing the people, but they are not guilty enough to die. .

The death penalty can be avoided, but the official career may be terminated, and the body will be tortured a lot. This is inevitable.

Although Li Yi once had some conflicts with Jiang Zian, it was a long time ago. When they were in Shuzhou, the other party was as kind as saving lives for him and Ruyi. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, It's enough to clear up all the previous grudges, and you can't stand idly by when you see him reduced to this situation.

"Dali Temple and the Secret Intelligence Department still have to go through some procedures. I'm afraid Brother Jiang will have to be wronged in the past two days." Li Yi stood up, looked at Jiang Zian and said: "However, Brother Jiang's suffering will not be in vain, hard work You have been with King Shu for so many years, and the court will definitely compensate you."

Jiang Zian shook his head quickly, "No grievance, no grievance."

Being able to walk out of here alive is already a great blessing for him. Not being implicated in this case, being reinstated or even going one step further is something he has never thought about.

With the eldest princess here, everyone was very uneasy and did not dare to speak nonsense. After having arranged Jiang Zian's affairs, Li Yi did not stay long and said goodbye to them.

After Li Yi and the eldest princess left, an official from Dali Temple immediately changed his expression, glared at the jailers beside him, and said: "Hey, you guys, why do you have such long eyes? Why don't you tell Mr. Jiang about it?" Keep things tidy here..."

No one thought that there was such a person hidden among this group of prisoners.

He and Li County Marquis are life and death friends. The undercover agent hiding next to the King of Shu. If he goes out from now on, he will not be able to rise rapidly...

Although he couldn't get Mr. Jiang out, it was still feasible to improve the living environment of the cell.

"Here, clean this place..., clean the bucket, change the clean bucket every hour, and then go get a new quilt..."

After saying that, he looked at the woman who was holding Mr. Jiang's hand tightly, rolled his eyes, and said: "Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. The cell has been tense in recent days. Otherwise, you and Mrs. Jiang will be together in the past two days." Just make do with each other in the same cell..."

Jiang Zian could naturally feel the goodwill conveyed by the Dali Temple official, nodded and said, "Thank you, sir..."

The Dali Temple official smiled and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome..."

Soon, the entire cell was cleaned spotlessly. The single bed was replaced by a double bed. The quilt on the bed was also brand new. Even the curtains were hung around the cell, which could be put down at any time, as if it were an independent cell. It's like a small world.

Beside the bed, the young woman held Jiang Zian's hand and asked doubtfully: "Husband, what is going on between you and that Mr. Li..."

Jiang Zian sighed, with a trace of reminiscence on his face, and said: "It was an autumn three years ago. I had just won the Jinshi Scholarship. I was full of enthusiasm and high spirits. That day, Prince Ning held a banquet in the mansion for you all. Jinshi of Qing'an Prefecture..., then, then I met him..."

"Then what?"

"Then I was sent to the remote Shuzhou..."

…

Jiang Zian sighed and murmured: "Misfortune brings blessing, blessing brings misfortune, I really can't explain..."

In the other cells, everyone looked at the isolated place with envy on their faces.

I really didn’t expect that the service in Dali Temple’s Tianlao was so attentive, not to mention the rich decapitation meal, but there were also such obvious preferential treatment, including food, bed and women. This is not like being in prison...

However, when they thought that this might be his last day of enjoyment, no one was envious.

It's just a short-term happiness. Maybe tomorrow, he will face a knife in the head.

They just put their ears against the wall, listening quietly, listening...

…

Liu Yishou still had to collect evidence one by one from the people of Dali Temple. They had been eating and lodging here for the past few days. Li Yi and the other three walked around the prison and walked out of Dali Temple.

"The King of Shu ran away, and the Cui family was finished like this. It was really hard to accept for a while..." Li Xuan sighed and asked: "Mingzhu, what should we do next?"

Li Mingzhu walked with her head lowered and did not respond.

Li Xuan looked back at her: "Mingzhu?"

Li Mingzhu came back to her senses, looked at him and nodded: "Well, you are right."

Li Xuan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What did I just say?"

"I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going back to the palace first." Li Mingzhu left without saying a word.

Li Xuan looked at her leaving figure, touched her chin where there was no beard, and said, "She has something on her mind."

Li Yi counted with his fingers and said: "Women have a few days every month. It will be fine after a few days."

Li Xuan stopped continuing the topic and suddenly asked: "Is your butt healed?"

Li Yi looked back at him, frowned and said, "My butt has always been very good."

"I saw it all when I went to your house that day." He shook his head, looked at Li Yi, and said pitifully: "I think it might be easier for her to take you down than it is for you to take her down... "

…

Yunxi Village is a village dozens of miles away from Kyoto. It lives on the mountain and the water. Yunxi Village is backed by mountains and faces the water. The villagers mainly make a living by fishing and farming. Occasionally, they will go into the mountains to hunt some prey, walk dozens of miles, and exchange money at the market in Kyoto.

The rich people in Kyoto are very fond of wild game in the mountains.

The village is remote and not close to the official road. For dozens or hundreds of years, the villagers of Yunxi Village have worked from sunrise to sunset. Apart from daily shopping and selling activities, they have little communication with the outside world.

Of course, sometimes, some outsiders pass by the village, take a rest, ask for a glass of water, etc., and most villagers will not refuse.

At this time, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a man wiped his mouth and exclaimed: "With mountains and water, this place is great..."

Across from him, a villager smiled honestly and said: "In our hearts, this place is not even as good as Kyoto..."

After he finished speaking, he waved to an old man who came in from outside and asked: "Old Liu, are you going into the mountains again?"

The old man seemed to have a disease in his legs and feet, and walked unsteadily. He carried a bamboo basket on his back. He smiled and said: "I just picked some herbs, and didn't go in much. Deep..."

Watching the old man limp away, the villager smacked his lips and said, "Old Liu is also a pitiful man. He is so old and finally has a daughter. Once when he went to the city, she was abused by the son of a powerful family in Kyoto. The girl later jumped into the river. Old Liu went to the government office to seek justice and was beaten and his legs were broken. The old woman at home was so angry that she fell ill and has not recovered yet. Alas..."

The big man shook his head and said, "It is indeed pitiful, but, an old man like this, The court has a policy that you can go to the clinic built by the Princess to see a doctor for free, and you don’t need to collect herbs yourself...”

“The Princess is good, and all of us in the village remember it. If there was no clinic for the Princess, I would have died a long time ago... I didn’t collect herbs for his wife. Old Liu found a man by the river a few days ago. His hands and feet were broken and his body was badly burned. Old Liu collected herbs for him...” The villager’s expression became angry and he cursed: “This damn world, good people really don’t have good things. Good people don't live long, and evil people who do evil live more freely than anyone else! "

The big man finished drinking the water, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the law of heaven is good. The evil will definitely be punished..."

In a dilapidated courtyard, the old man just walked into the door, and an old woman came out from inside, excitedly saying: "He woke up, he woke up..."

The old man didn't have time to put down the medicine basket on his back, and limped into the house. When he came to the bed, a figure on the bed had opened his eyes.

There were large areas of burns on his exposed skin, most of his hair was burned, his limbs were weirdly bent, and there was still some trance in his eyes.

The old man walked over with a bumpy voice and said with a smile: "You finally woke up..."

The person on the bed said hoarsely: "You saved me?"

The old man nodded: "Ah, yes, I found you by the river that day, where is your home, I'll send someone to take a message..."

The man thought for a while and said: "Please help me take a message to Qin Xiang's house, saying that Qin Yu is here, remember, you must tell Qin Xiang in person..."

The old man was stunned and asked in a trembling voice: "Qin..., Qin Yu?"

After saying that, as if he thought of something, he took a deep breath, looked at him, and asked: "You, are you the missing young master Qin..."

"As long as you help me do this, there will be a big reward in the future."

The old man looked at him and asked: "You, are you really the young master Qin?"

The person on the bed didn't say anything anymore, obviously he had acquiesced.

"Qin Yu, Young Master Qin..." The old man closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and then slowly loosened them. He put down the medicine basket on his back, turned around, and whispered, "Old woman, go and close the door."

Not long after, outside the door, the big man scratched his head and said in surprise, "Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"
