Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead

Chapter 38 Old friends gradually die, and a new era arrives

Several people looked back and saw an official sedan landing on the ground, and then a tall and thin man dressed in a warden's official uniform walked out. Good guy, it was Wen San!

Zhou Yi had to lament that the wonder of fate lies in making people confused.

Who would have thought that Wen San, a little jailer who could beat anyone and only knew how to brag, would now become the warden?

He came to Zhou Yi, raised his hands to several captains of Zhenwu Division and said:

"Brothers, they are my confidants placed in Tianlao. They are all my brothers. Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple and hurt your own people."

"So that's it."

The captain of the Zhenwu Division's eyes softened a little, and then he kicked Li Jingrong on the butt.

"Why don't you hurry in?"

Li Jingrong and everyone were dumbfounded.

"How could he be His Majesty's man? Believe me, when he helped the deposed emperor punish us, his methods were very ruthless! He is definitely the deposed emperor's man!"

The captains of the Zhenwu Division kicked him in with curses.

Zhouyi Chao Wensan bowed his hand and thanked him.

"Thank you, Warden, for your help."

Wen San patted his shoulder.

"Excuse me, we are all my brothers. I can't help Ma Laotou and Tian Laocheng. They are all favorites of the deposed emperor. It's better for you. You are just a prison chief. From now on, you can continue to be a prison chief. ”

"Thank you."

"Okay, let's go do some work first. I've been busy lately."

Zhou Yi nodded and came into the cell. Almost all the people he saw were 'old friends'.

Those officials who had been whipped by him before and who had defected to Li Qingxuan couldn't help but curse when they saw him strolling in.

"You bastard, if it hadn't been you, how could I have betrayed Your Majesty and turned to the deposed emperor?"

"Shu Zi, you have caused great harm to me!"

"Thief, I will destroy you!"

Zhou Yi looked indifferent and called the jailer.

"You don't have to go through the motions with them. Just use the tiger bench, pepper water, and soldering iron. They won't survive long anyway."

As soon as these words came out, everyone scolded him even more fiercely, but soon, there was a burst of screams of crying for father and mother, and the prison was very lively for a while.

Zhou Yi came to the cell where several old people were imprisoned and found that several old friends who had been promoted had died of poisoning. He couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Even the emperor cannot avoid surviving in the struggle for power, and the officials below him are even more victims of power.

Someone who occupies a high position and becomes the confidant of the former emperor is afraid that he will be cut into pieces and executed in Lingchi. Instead of doing this, it is better to end it himself first and save himself from suffering.

This made Zhou Yi secretly swear in his heart that he would be more honest in the future, try to be a low-key person, and don't find a position for himself, such as the elder of a very powerful sect.

Only the smaller the status and the less noticed the identity can avoid a lot of trouble.

After instructing the jailers to pull several people out for a grand burial, Zhou Yi arrived at the cells of his two old bosses, Ma Guocheng and Tian Wenjing.

The two of them had sent away countless people in the prison, and now they were also sent in by others.

As soon as Zhou Yi arrived, he heard Ma Guocheng curse again.

"Tian Wenjing, I am Cao Nima! You are a scholar who has failed the exam. What are you so proud of? If you are capable, why are you imprisoned? If you are capable, let the emperor spare you from death!"

Zhou Yi opened the cell door with a creak and looked at the two enemies speechlessly.

"Prisoner, prison chief, you two please stop talking."

Ma Guocheng spat.

"This literate scholar, if you don't scold him a few words, he has already made a lot of money in his profession, and yet he is still pissing on me here."

Tian Wenjing was too lazy to pay attention to him, so Zhou Yi took out two big meat buns from his arms for his two old bosses of more than ten years.

"You two haven't eaten yet this morning, right? Eat something while it's hot and put your food on the table first."

"I won't eat, I have no appetite."

"If he doesn't eat me, maybe this will be his last meal."

Ma Guocheng snatched it away and started to chew it.

Tian Wenjing said:

"Zhou Yi, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"You'd better try to mingle with us as little as possible. Our identities are quite sensitive. If someone is interested in the current situation, you may not be able to take advantage of us."

Zhou Yi shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. The new warden is Wen San. As long as he's here, no one will touch me."

Ma Guocheng's mouth suddenly stopped, and the buns in his hand seemed to be no longer fragrant.

"Who? Wen San? Did I hear correctly? His boy became the warden?"

Zhou Yi nodded. Ma Guocheng was silent for a long time and sighed.

"If I had known, I would have gone to Beimang with them."

Tian Wenjing sighed.

"This is fate. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow? One wrong step will lead to an abyss of eternal destruction. Unfortunately, you and I have fallen into the abyss.

Zhou Yi, Lao Ma's wife, children, and I have all been sent to the army. I hope you can help us sort out our relationship and sort things out. I have deposited one thousand taels of silver at Dongfeng Bank. You can take it out. Half of it will be reserved for your hard work, and the other half will be used to help them manage it. "

Ma Guocheng moved his lips. He wanted to say something but didn't say it. He just said softly.

"Thanks."

Zhou Yi only smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

That night, the sky prison was bombarded by sword light again. The prisoners were killed, injured and missing.

One jailer said that he saw someone running away, who looked exactly like Ma and Tian. He accidentally choked to death while drinking cold water during lunch, and no one continued to talk about it afterward.

Time passed quickly, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qingyun regained the throne, but died within a year. Some people said that he was cursed to death by the people, while others said that he was killed by the resentful spirits of the 500,000-strong army.

After Li Qingyun, his son succeeded him, known as Emperor Cheng!

When he first succeeded to the throne, the countries around Daqian were in turmoil. Several armies marched straight into the capital of Daqian, seemingly trying to swallow up this scarred and crumbling dynasty.

I don’t know if it was destiny that Daqian should not be destroyed. One day, several divine lights descended from the sky, and the Daqian royal family inexplicably made a comeback. With the force of thunder, they swept away several armies of various countries and counterattacked until the capitals of various countries, making them unable to raise their heads and almost destroying their countries and races.

The historian called this war "Emperor Cheng Li Ting"!

After this battle, Emperor Cheng's prestige in the country was unprecedented.

In the fourth year of Emperor Cheng, the slogan of "all people practice martial arts" was launched.

The state opened martial arts schools in various places to teach martial arts, and all children from poor families could participate together. The whole country is now focusing on practice.

Only practitioners can pass the imperial examinations, and Confucianism seems to have been completely abandoned.

In addition, various professions such as alchemy, talismans, and weapon refining have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The whole world has gradually changed its appearance in silence.
