I run a newspaper in ancient times

Gao Chi leaned against the cold wall of the cell, motionless, he was completely immersed in grief and crying, as well as the deep regret that could not be resolved or resolved.

Until midnight, a footstep came quietly and called out in a low voice: "Master Gao, Master Gao..."

Gao Chi didn't pay attention to him at all. He has no interest in life now, and even if this person came to him again, he would be indifferent.

He even harbored resentment in his heart. Since Prime Minister Zuo promised to take care of his wife and children, why didn't he take good care of them and just let them go?

This idea is a bit unreasonable, but that's what he thinks at the moment.

Now let him take the full name of the crime, Gao Chi is not willing to do it again.

It is because of his evil deeds that he let his wife and children live without face. How could he shield these sinners?Otherwise, there is no way to explain to his wife and children when he goes underground.

At this moment, the servant Gao suddenly became enlightened.

"Master Gao, you have been deceived. Your wife and your son and your daughter did not commit suicide in fear of crime."

The jailer's words made Gao Shilang, who was about to tell the truth, suddenly raised his head, looked at him with eyes clouded by tears, and asked hoarsely, "What did you say?"

"They didn't commit suicide in fear of crime." The jailer said quickly and clearly, "They were poisoned!"

Another thunderbolt landed on Gao Chi's head, he slowly turned his head and neck, his eyes darkened, stared at him firmly and said, "You lied to me."

"Alas..." the jailer looked around anxiously, and said, "What did you lie to you? It's true. Think about your wife and the young lady living well. You told me again, and the Xiangye also specially ordered people to go Come on, why can't you think about it?"

Gao Chi was speechless for a moment. When he heard Zuo Huan say that, he really thought it was impossible.

"Besides, Mr. Gao, you are just a servant, from a poor family. In this magnificent servant's mansion, the lady's silk and satin, the lady's gold and silver jewelry, and the young master's friends who spend money, how can you save such a small position? Don’t these family members of yours know how they got here?”

Indeed, since everyone spends money with peace of mind, how can there be such a high sense of shame, committing suicide in fear of crime?

"They... who poisoned them?"

"Who is it? Mr. Xiang said that you should know it in your heart. If you didn't risk your life to tell me, what would you do when you pass the trial tomorrow, and who would benefit?"

The jailer's words were like sharp thorns, piercing his heart full of holes.

It's true that he died with more than innocent reasons, but he did everything, and his wife and children didn't know anything.

Don't you pretend to be benevolent? What the tabloids say is nice, but the things you do behind the scenes are no different from those villains!

Heartbroken and resentful, recalling the smiling faces of his wife and children, he fixedly looked at the jailer and said, "Go back and tell Prime Minister Zuo, the officer knows what to do."

The jailer cupped his hands and left.

He passed on the news, but as soon as he returned to the dungeon, he saw Zuo Huan smiling and waiting for him with two yamen servants, and asked kindly: "Has the news been sent back?"

The jailer looked at his amiable appearance, and the cold sweat immediately fell on his forehead. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Zuo Huan patted him on the shoulder, straightened his clothes for him in a good mood and said: "Our Dali Temple, what is the details of how long we can stay, my lord knows it all, it's really hard for you to be an ordinary prison guard so much." For a long time, the oil and water have nowhere to scrape, and Zuo Xiang is really, I won’t move the place for you.”

"Lord Zuo..." He knelt down, cried and kowtowed bitterly, "The little one has no other choice!"

"I know, I know." Zuo Huan brushed his sleeves, as if to shake off the dust and dirt, but his tone was extremely understanding, "Anyway, I'm an old man, I can't help myself in this life, how can I blame you What? I have saved enough coffins, don’t worry, I’ll pick a better one for you.”

After he finished speaking, he walked into the prison, and told the jailer as he walked, "I'm in prison. If anyone makes trouble, there is nothing else in Dali Temple. There is no shortage of empty coffins. From now on, no news is allowed to be sent." go out."

"Yes, my lord." After the jailer finished speaking, he ordered someone to pick up the jailer and take him down.

Tonight is destined to be a thrilling night, Gao Chi's earlier remorse turned into deep hatred under the instigation of the jailer with a few words, as if this could make his conscience feel better.

Zuo Huan came to his cell again, glanced inside, and then turned to the opposite side, the cell of Liang's father and son.

The head of the cell opened the cell door, and two guards walked in. Zuo Huan glanced at the rice bowl and water basin of the father and son, but they remained untouched.

Obviously, these two people are not stupid, and they can roughly guess that the food and water have been seasoned.

A murderer and a cover-up mastermind, according to the crime, must die.

Their lips were dry and white, and their expressions were languid and powerless without a drop of water in. However, when they saw the two jailers coming in, they couldn't help backing away in fright, rubbing the shackles on their hands and feet, making bursts of noise. ringing.

The sound was so abnormal that it immediately attracted the attention of Gao Chi, who bowed his head and knelt down, his grief was greater than his heart's death.

He couldn't help but looked up, and then saw Zuo Huan standing outside his cell, with that amiable smile still on his lips, facing the Liang family father and son with cold eyes.

He subconsciously moved his nearly stiff body, and the handcuffs made a sound.

Hearing the voice from behind, Zuo Huan turned his head and saw Gao Chi, and couldn't help but deepen his smile: "Ah, don't blame Mr. Gao for disturbing his grief."

"Master Zuo, what are you doing?" Gao Chi couldn't understand the purpose of Dali Temple's work. He watched the two guards grab the chin of the other, and vaguely stuffed a medicine into the mouths of the two fathers and sons. forcing them to swallow.

Seeing the Liang family's father and son staring wide-eyed, struggling desperately, and shouting words such as "no", "my lord, spare my life", "the villain will definitely not talk nonsense", I can't help but feel more confused.

After entering this Dali Temple, the father and son will only honestly explain the whole story of the prisoner exchange. Wouldn't it be better to save their lives?

Why kill them?

Gao Chi looked at Zuo Huan strangely, and suddenly wondered if this person was also a spy left by Prime Minister Zuo in Dali Temple.

Seemingly seeing Gao Chi's thoughts, Zuo Huan motioned to the prison head to open the cell, and he walked slowly to Gao Chi and said, "Master Gao, do you know what kind of medicine they are taking?"

No matter how struggling Gao Chi saw in the opposite cell, the Liang family father and son were still forced to swallow the medicine. The two guards let go of their hands, and they clasped their throats desperately while holding on to the wall and railing, but it was of no avail.

Apparently the drug is deadly.

Gao Chi opened his mouth, looked at Zuo Huan's still smiling face and asked, "Why?"

Slowly, the bodies of the two people on the opposite side swayed, struggling to reach out, but they could only slide down the wall slowly, and finally lay down on the ground, motionless.

I don't know if it's... dead...

Zuo Huan said: "Mrs., your son and your love are also taking this kind of medicine."

"I'll kill you!" The voice of the shackles suddenly amplified, and Gao Chi stared fiercely at Zuo Huan with his eyes protruding. With a cannibalistic expression, he asked, "If something is coming at me, why are you disregarding human life! If you do this, you will be with..."

He gritted his teeth, suddenly couldn't continue, only his eyes were wet and red.

Zuo Huan let him pull his skirt, his smiling face remained unchanged, and he still had time to wave to the jailer who almost barged in from outside the cell, and then kindly finished the next sentence for Gao Chi .

"If I do this, it's as despicable as you letting go of the real culprit and ignoring the victim, isn't it?"

After Zuo Huan finished speaking, he raised his hand, snatched his skirt from Gao Chi's hand, and tidied it up slowly.

After it was tidy and beautiful, I looked at Gao Chi who was in despair, and said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that my Dali Temple can't do the bad things done by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, otherwise, how can a few adults live in peace and harmony?" Squatting in the prison. If you want me to say, just rely on what you did, let me give you a few rounds of torture first, so as to vent your anger for the wronged.”

Gao Chi didn't speak.

But Zuo Huan said indifferently: "Human life is nothing in the Ministry of Punishment, and it is nothing in the eyes of those things headed by Prime Minister Zuo, but my Dali Temple is busy sorting out old cases for the sake of these lives. Xue, the criminal must be punished."

"Then why did you poison my wife and children?" Gao Chi asked loudly, almost unable to control himself, "Could it be because of Prince Yi's majesty, when will Song Guogong collude with him?"

He was in pain and resentment, but Zuo Huan chuckled lightly when he heard these words: "If you are soaked in the mud and go with the tide, don't think about other people's peace and happiness. Speaking of which, this medicine was indeed provided by Prince Yi, so it is true He is a wonderful person, his sword is slanted, he does not follow common sense to make moves, but he maintains his heart and does not fall. No wonder the rigid and serious General Fan will fall into his hands, and he will not be wronged."

Gao Chi's face was black and white, and he clenched his fist tightly, only a cold snort.

At this time, the two guards in the opposite cell brought out the untouched rice bowl and water basin, walked outside the cell, and clasped their fists at Zuo Huan: "My lord."

Zuo Huan glanced at the opposite side and nodded: "It's hard work, go down and test the contents. Although I know the Zuo Xiang, the methods are only despicable, but I can't wrong him."

"Yes." The two jailers just left with the dish bowls and water basins, but the corpse lying on the ground in the cell was left without treatment.

Seeing this, Gao Chi became more and more puzzled.

But Zuo Huan didn't say anything, he just brushed off his sleeves and said: "Master Gao, I'll take it back as my condolences change, and I will send you another four words, I will leave."

Gao Chi wanted to stop him, Zuo Huan's actions and words today really made him suspicious.

It's just that he was afraid that the other party would cheat, so he didn't say anything.

But he didn't say anything, Zuo Huan stopped when he was about to leave the prison door, seemed to remember something, turned around and reminded with a smile: "By the way, if Mr. Gao finds something wrong tomorrow morning, something that looks scary, Don't panic, don't worry, it's not a ghost."

He pointed to the opposite, the two forgotten corpses.

After speaking, he really left.

The cell in Dali Temple has returned to calm, and no one will spread the news of what happened just now.

However, no matter how confused he was, Gao Chi was convinced of one thing, as Prime Minister Zuo said, it was Prince Yi who killed his wife and children.

However, the family members of the criminals deserve what they deserve, and Dali Temple is probably watching with cold eyes.

After all, if they were placed in the Ministry of Punishment, they would do the same, and they would even go too far.He pushed himself and others, only to feel infinite sadness in his heart.

Gao Chi is a prisoner, so he can't take any action of revenge. The only thing he can do is to save Xiongling, replace all the crimes, and let the left minister remain invincible.

Even if he knows in his heart that doing so is actually helping the evildoers, but the hatred of killing his wife and children is irreconcilable, and he has only this way.

Those who do not do human affairs will only be mired in the quagmire of conspiracy and tricks.

That night, he didn't have any sleepiness, he hated for a while, grieved for a while, and wept until the next morning, the whole person was in a daze.

When the morning light shone into the cell through the skylight, the drowsy Gao Chi suddenly heard a groan coming from the opposite side, from low to loud, followed by the soft shaking of the chain.

"Yan Yun..."

The hoarse voice was obviously very soft, but it sounded like a muffled thunder in Gao Chi's ears. He opened his eyes suddenly, and a few shackles sounded. The two "corpses" shouted: "Liang Fang, Liang Yanyun!"
