demon rampage

I was put in a cell with the woman next to me.

"You guys are really brave. One assassinated the emperor, and the other harbored criminals. When the emperor speaks tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't have a few days to live. Cherish the last few days, hahahaha."

Master Liu had a sinister smile on his face, and left triumphantly.

"Why did you assassinate the emperor?" I asked the woman through the wall.

Anyway, I can't sleep anymore, and I will be a wronged ghost until I die. I have to know why I died.

"Because of my brother." The woman replied.

"Your brother?"

"Correct."

In an instant, a story of the emperor killing the woman's brother, the woman avenging her brother, and assassinating the emperor on a dark and stormy night, failed and was caught in the end.

"My brother has been with the dog emperor since he was a child, and he has done a lot of things for the dog emperor, but the dog emperor, obsessed with his heart, has taken a fancy to the wife of the lord of Qi State, a subsidiary state, when the lord of Qi State came to pay homage to him. , sent my elder brother to kill the lord of the Qi State and detain his wife in the harem, such a licentious and innocent person can actually be the emperor, how blinded by the law of heaven!"

The more the woman spoke, the more indignant she became, which showed that she hated the emperor deeply.

"What happened after your brother killed the lord of Qi?"

"Of course the son of Lord Qi is not happy. His father died and his mother was imprisoned. He sent people to Daliang to ask for an explanation. Send the head to Qi State..."

Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked up, but she held it back after all. As expected of a person who had the courage to assassinate the emperor, she was really strong.

I accidentally mentioned someone's sad things, and I was too embarrassed to ask any more. The atmosphere suddenly quieted down. I vaguely heard the chirping of mice, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps. This was my first time in prison , the environment here is dark and humid, only the dim fire light in the aisle outside, that is the fire rack on the wall that is specially responsible for lighting, there is lamp oil in it, and a wick emits a faint light leisurely.

"This Daliang's heaven is about to change."

Suddenly a voice came from the other side of me, the tone seemed to be sighing, and it seemed to be gloating.

"Who are you? Why are you being held here?" I asked.

"Anonymous Jianghu was also arrested for stealing." The man replied.

"But the death penalty?"

"No, he will be released tomorrow after serving his sentence."

"Why steal?" I heard his voice was sonorous and powerful, he was about thirty years old, and his tone was upright, he didn't look like a thief.

"For the sky, for the earth, for the common people, for..."

As he said that, he laughed out loud without any scruples, which disturbed the guards outside.

"What are you laughing at! Your skin is itchy, right? You say it's not good for you to steal something, but you insist on stealing someone else's dog, are you crazy!"

It turned out that he was laughing at himself. It is indeed a pity that he went to jail for stealing a dog.

After the guard left, I asked him again, "What are you doing stealing a dog?"

"eat."

"Then it's better to steal chickens, ducks and geese. What's so delicious about dog meat?"

"It's delicious, very delicious, otherwise, why would there be so many butcher shops selling dog meat, and why would there be so many people eating dog meat."

"Then you really ate it?"

He seemed to be stopped by my question, and he didn't answer for a while.

On the second day, the woman and I were escorted to the emperor. I thought I would see a beautiful scene of hugging from left to right, but I didn’t expect that the emperor was quite concerned about the occasion. I saw him wearing a long robe embroidered with white and gold borders and blue dragons. , sitting casually on a chair in the pavilion looking at the scenery in the pond, without even looking at us, there are all kinds of snacks on the table, and a set of drinking utensils, as if to entertain someone .

The woman and I were tied hands, kneeling under the steps outside the pavilion, surrounded by more than a dozen people, airtight, I thought in my mind that the possibility of escape was almost zero.

"Yo, here we come."

After a long time, he seemed to be aware of our existence suddenly, and joked.

"Gu Xin, Gu Changke's younger sister, this beauty is barely passable."

He walked in front of us, supported his knee with one hand, lifted the woman's chin with the other, hooked his waist and said with a smile.

I heard before that the emperor's eldest grandson, Rong Rong, is unparalleled in beauty and has completely inherited the advantages of his father and mother. Looking at it from such a close distance, this statement is true, but the words that come out of his mouth are extremely romantic, which makes people speechless.

"I think this little brother looks quite handsome, what's your name?" Chang Sun Rong let go of his hand, straightened up and looked at me.

I didn't hide my inquiring gaze just now, anyway, sooner or later he's a dead person, so it's better to be more casual, so when Chang Sun Rong looked at me, our eyes met.

"Flower ring." I replied.

I didn't feel guilty or uncomfortable because I was discovered peeping. In my heart, the emperor's reputation has long been rotten. Without any majesty, is such a person really suitable to be an emperor?

"Hua Lan, what a name! What a name!"

The emperor clapped his hands again and again, turned around and returned to the pavilion.

"Take it down, tomorrow at three quarters noon, I want to see their heads."

One light word decided the fate of two people.

Before being taken away by the guards, I looked at the person in the gazebo who was obsessed with feeding fish. Maybe good-looking people always have some privileges. I found that I didn’t hate him that much, maybe he had some difficulties.

"Emperor Dog, you must die!" Gu Xin suddenly cursed at Chang Sunrong.

But he doesn't care about it at all, or there is no need to care about it. The world belongs to him, and the people belong to him. There are too many people who don't like him. He can't respond to them one by one. Anyway, whoever he wants to die must die. , Lord Yan's words are useless.

When I was about to leave, a man in a navy blue robe passed by me. He glanced at me, and then walked straight forward. It seemed that he was going to the pavilion. Perhaps the person Changsun Rongyue was about was him.

I went back to the prison again, and since I was going to die tomorrow, I had to finish the dry food that Wu Jian's father gave me, otherwise it would be wasted.

The person next door to me happened to just come out of the Laomen. When I left in the morning, he was still sleeping, facing the wall. I couldn't see his face clearly, only his long hair was dirty and in strands.

Now I happened to meet him face to face. There was a long scar on his face, from his forehead to his chin. However, his eyebrows were sharp, and although his expression was too loose, he faintly revealed a kind of firmness.

He looked at me and said in a loud voice, "Little brother, Mr. Cao, we will meet later." After speaking, he laughed and left. I haven't told him what my name is. This is a strange person.

I went back to the cell, and the person in charge of the cell locked the cell door with a big lock. It really made it impossible for me to escape, but I didn't intend to escape.

I took out the pancakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that Wu Jian's father gave me, and after eating for a while, I suddenly remembered that the woman named Gu Xin was still next door, so I handed the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus cakes through the gap in the prison door to she.

"Thank you, sir," she said.

"You're welcome." I replied.

They are all people who are in adversity, and they feel tasteless when they eat anything. By the way, this flatbread is really not as hard as it is, and it makes my tooth hurt.

In the afternoon, the jailer came to tell us that tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, we will be beheaded for public display. My heart is not disturbed, so let’s behead. I hope I can have a good pregnancy in my next life, be smarter, and not be kidnapped again.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that I hurt you..."

The woman's voice came intermittently, and I was so bored that I almost fell asleep, and I didn't hear what she said, probably something like sorry.

She is a weak woman, she did not hesitate to fight against the emperor to avenge her elder brother, I actually admire her quite a lot.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have nothing to worry about, and I am at ease when I die."

In fact, I still don't want to die, but the matter has come to this point, so it's not a question of whether I want to, the decision is in the hands of the emperor, I don't think the emperor will suddenly show kindness and let me go.

This night is probably my last night in the world. I wanted to stay up all night and take a good look at the last scenery, but the prison was too dark, and the oil lamps on the walls were all extinguished, so I couldn’t see anything. , There is not even a window in this cell, and the moonlight cannot come in. After thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.

"Selling steamed stuffed buns, delicious and hot big steamed stuffed buns!"

"Baozi, big buns just out of the pan!"

There was a burst of aroma, stuffed with pork and leeks. I thought I was still in Niu Laotou's bun shop, so I opened my eyes and got out of bed to look for shoes.

Suddenly the movement stopped, shouldn't I be in prison?How could it be in the room, and, where is this?

The window was wide open, and there were all kinds of cries from downstairs, very similar to the scene I lived in the old man Niu.

I walked to the window and looked at the busy traffic downstairs, and the bustling atmosphere of the market came into view.

Am I dreaming?Yes, maybe I'm dead, these are dead people, all ghosts.

I patted my face fiercely with both hands, and the burning pain hit me, can ghosts also be in pain?

When I returned to the room, I suddenly saw a tea set and a cloth bag on the table, and a letter was pressed under the tray. I opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.

"Don't be suspicious, my lord. My master has ordered someone to send you to a safe place. On the table is 100 taels of silver. This is my thank you gift to you. You should try not to go to Liang'an City recently. After the storm subsides, you will be able to return to the city. You can come back.

Take care, book. "

In other words, I am no longer in Liang'an City, and I was taken to this place unknowingly. Although I don't know who Gu Xin's master is, it is also a happy event to escape the catastrophe. It's great ,very nice.
