Your Majesty, please do not

Before Liang Huan could reply to Ouyang Qing's memorial, Lin Zhuhui's accomplices dragged those who hated Ouyang Qing to the court one by one, demanding that he judge the Jiangzhou tax reduction case as soon as possible and severely punish Huang Hu, Hu He and others.

Liang Huan ignored their memorials, so people came forward to mention this matter every morning, which finally caused a lot of voices in the court.If he doesn't deal with it, don't even think about discussing other things today.

Although Zhu Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, did not dare to urge him explicitly, he submitted the case trial situation every three days, which also meant that he wanted a verdict.

Liang Huan felt that he was going to be driven crazy by them.

On the evening of May [-], he quickly finished approving those memorials with similar content.

The palace man set out the food, he looked at a table of brightly colored food, and had no appetite at all.

He still remembers how he spent this day last year. Although it was not pleasant, when they worked together to do something, no matter how bitter it was, there was a hint of sweetness.

But now, he didn't dare to take a look at him, or even give him a bowl of longevity noodles.

He was disturbed and walked up and down the palace.He sat in Baoyan Pavilion for a while, and then went to Ruikun Palace to stay with Wu Jing for a while.At last, as soon as it was getting dark, he found nothing to do and went to bed.

He had never thought that the bed in Weiyang Palace was so wide that a person could roll over and over on it without falling off.After getting up and blowing out the lamp, he retreated into the cool blanket.Feeling empty in hand, I hugged the quilt in my arms.

In the dream, he returned to a night a few months ago.Fireworks rose in the sky, and he was climbing the stairs of a small building. There was no clue to remind him, but he knew that this was the West City Building in Yanjiang County.

The stairs didn't look long, but it seemed that they would never finish climbing them. He was obviously running fast, but he always stopped at the same place.

Chen Zhi stood by the window at the end of the stairs, looking out with his back turned.

"Xingli, come and give me a hand, okay, I'm going to find you!"

The voice dissipated in the wind, and the person who was close in front of him didn't hear his words, let alone turn around.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of thunder.Looking up, I don't know when the pouring rain fell outside the window.

He took a few more steps forward, and this time he climbed the stairs and reached the highest floor.He cautiously approached the person by the window, wanting to reach out and pat him gently, but he couldn't control the force at all.

The pat turned into a shove, pushing him out of the window.

"Do not--"

He ran to the window, and while looking down, he saw the dark top of the bed in Weiyang Palace.

Liang Huan heard his rapid heartbeat, his whole body tensed up, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

My first reaction was, luckily it was a dream, it wasn't real, no one fell out of the window.

But when he thinks about it again, isn't that what everyone is forcing him to do now?Here is still Yanjiang County, what's the difference?

Wait, Yanjiang County?It seems that I have seen this place name somewhere, why is he in that place?

Liang Huan jumped up from the bed suddenly, lit the lamp, and opened the file sent by Zhu Xing.

On May [-]th, the Ministry of Criminal Justice announced the verdict on the Jiangzhou tax reduction case, which was similar to what Zhu Xing first told Liang Huan.

Huang Hu, Minister of the Household Department, Tong Huhe of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and Han Hai, the prefect of Haining, neglected their duties and were sentenced to be executed five days later.According to the statement of the head of the Ministry of War, Liu Chuan, the magistrate of Jiangbei County, leaked the news from the court, and was sentenced to be executed ten days later.

The governor of Jiangzhou, Jiang Jiang, failed to supervise well, and Song Xin, a member of the Ministry of War who helped others to deliver news from the DPRK and China, was sentenced to dismissal.

Because too many people died in this case, all those involved were sentenced severely.If the verdict does not wait until after autumn, it is usually executed five days later.As for why there are two ten days, the Criminal Ministry did not explain, and no one cared.It's five days away, so we can't rescue people in the middle.

But none of the "mobs" in Yanjiang County were released.In order to give a reasonable explanation for not releasing them, all of them were sentenced to one year in prison.

Seeing the verdict, Bai Ming invited everyone to Suyin Hall to celebrate, only Xu Gong did not go.

Xu Gong went to the cell.

After receiving the verdict, Chen Zhi was immediately taken out of his current prison cell, and moved to a windowless, more heavily guarded, simpler, and more crowded place.He knew that death row prisoners were treated differently from other prisoners.

Once in the cell, his ankles were shackled.The jailer who had ushered him in locked the door and dropped two more bowls of rice.

Chen Zhi was puzzled and said, "Why are you delivering food at this time?"

The prisoner who lived next to him for a long time helped to answer: "They are almost dead, what do they eat so much? There is only one meal a day here."

Looking at the bowl of hard white rice and the pot of boiled cabbage, one of the statements had no appetite at all, so they were all pushed aside.

He hadn't come to his senses yet, he was completely dazed, leaning against the wall in a daze, sitting on the thatched pile.

At this time Xu Gong strode into the death row, searching the cells on both sides.

"Xingli, it's me, how are you?"

Hearing someone calling him, Chen Zhi slowly raised his head, and met Xu Gong's gaze blankly.

"Xingli, do you know that I'm going to die of anger, and Bai Ming actually asked everyone to celebrate this event together! It's too much! And that Jiang Ji, too, who cares so much about you on weekdays, but now he just wants to hurt you! "Xu Gong roared angrily when he came.

But Chen Zhi seemed to be much calmer than him, he smiled casually, "To them, I am just an insignificant person. They have done what they wanted to do, shouldn't they be happy."

After a moment of silence, Xu Gong said slowly: "So, the person who wants to kill you is also someone who doesn't matter to you."

Turned his head away before stating, he didn't want to touch this place yet, so he just said perfunctorily: "It's not important anymore."

Xu Gong stared at him for a while, then sighed and said, "I told you earlier, don't be so stupid, you can only think about others. See for yourself, will others repay you?"

"How many things have you done for us, how many things have you done for him, even the fatal letter you wrote was for him, and the result? He is a liar, that's what you miss!"

He didn't lower his voice, causing the prisoners around him to look sideways.

The voice of the statement was a little choked: "Don't talk about it, this is all my private matter, and you will still work together in the future."

"I'm quitting!" Xu Gong snorted coldly, "Who wants to do things for this kind of person! If he can trade your life for something, wouldn't I be even more worthless? One day he will kill me again .”

Chen Zhi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute him, and finally he just said lightly: "You don't need to complain for me, I did it myself, I chose the path myself, I don't regret it."

"You are really... oh."

Thinking that this person was probably hopeless, Xu Gong grabbed the railing of the cell, and gradually calmed down his voice: "Do you want to bring a message? It is not convenient for me to come here. I will ask the jailer to give you a pen and paper. You write Come down, I'll come get it later."

When he said this, he remembered it.After thinking about it, I have to write a letter to my father anyway.He nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

After sending Xu Gong away, Chen Zhi lay down on the thatch for a whole day.The last time I stayed with a pile of thatch was in the thatched hut on the top of Baizhen Mountain.

Baizhen Mountain...thatched cottage...

He just started to think, and immediately couldn't think anymore.

He didn't eat the cold rice and cabbage until he was very hungry at night.

When seeing the little eunuch in Weiyang Palace, Xu Gong refused in his heart.He didn't want to see Liang Huan at all, he was afraid that he couldn't help scolding him.

But when people came to block him, he had no choice but to go.After dawdling all the way, when he reached the door, he still put on a smile and walked in.

Seeing him coming, Liang Huan pulled him over and handed him a piece of folded paper and a seal.

"You go to Jiangzhou and leave now. The Ministry of Punishment will ask for a good leave for you."

Xu Gong looked confused, what are you doing?Besides, if you let me go, I will go?

Liang Huan didn't care about his expression, and quickly said: "The names of people and places are all written down, and I will tell you the whole thing, so you remember it."

After listening to Liang Huan's narration, Xu Gong gradually came to his senses, frowned and asked, "Do you want to finish it within ten days?"

"No, you just have to do it as soon as possible, it won't hurt to be a few days late."

"That……"

"Don't ask, go quickly."

"……Yes."

Because it is already a death row, there is no concern of collusion, so the death row prisoners in the Jiangzhou tax reduction case are all locked together.Chen Zhi watched Ouyang Qing come to look for Huang Hu three times a day, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Liu Chuan, who was locked up with him, heard a few words, and came over to him and said, "Prime Minister Ouyang is in charge of Huanghu and wants news and connections."

Liu Chuan is a little rich, about 50 to [-] years old, with clear eyebrows, and looks very easy-going.

His words were heard by Hu He on the opposite side, and Hu He said with a look of contempt: "What does it have to do with you?"

Chen Zhi leaned against the wall, feeling chills all over his body, probably because there was no quilt here, and it was too cold at night.Hearing Hu He's words, he casually said, "I have to know whether my death is worth it or not."

At this time Ouyang Qing had already left, Huang Hu heard this, and asked loudly: "Statement, who are you?"

"Who am I?"

"At that time, there were rumors about you in the capital, and His Majesty personally went to the Imperial College to clear up the rumors for you. Later, when Yujia personally went to Yongzhou, he brought you a sixth-rank chief. Are you not young?"

Chen Zhi smiled, "I'm just a Jinshi in Chongjing for four years. My contemporaries are all more promising than me. I haven't done anything in the past two years. My greatest achievement is to die with you."

"Hmph, it's all your fault. We didn't do anything, it's all your broken letter..." Hu He muttered.

Chen Zhi suddenly felt his throat constricted, his stomach felt nauseous, and he vomited out a mouthful of filth.

Liu Chuan was taken aback by his appearance, and he quickly asked, "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"I..." Before he could speak, he vomited again.

Without a handkerchief, Chen Zhi wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said intermittently: "I feel sick... Also, my body is cold... I probably ate something bad. I only ate the food delivered in the morning two days ago. It might be moldy."
