Whoops, one hundred chapters to commemorate, click! To celebrate, I will write another chapter tonight.
##
Time seemed to have frozen, and there was silence in the stuffy prison cell. Only the breathing of the two people could be heard. Zhu Shiyong felt a little hot, and beads of sweat began to slowly ooze out on his forehead.
"Brother Wu Wu, I know that you hate me to the core at this moment. Although you can't speak, I know everything you say." Zhu Shiyong took out a sweat towel, wiped the sweat from his face, sighed, and broke
Shen Ji spoke.
The man named Wu Wu Ge lowered his head, and shot two vicious eyes at Zhu Shiyong from the cracks in his dirty hair. He let out a deep beast-like roar from his throat, as if he was pouncing on Zhu Shiyong to bite and devour him.
state.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Everything you said was my signal. I know this very well. The reason why this situation is today is not what I want. I don't know what Bao Zheng will do on that day.
It's all a mess, and his involvement in this matter will be revealed sooner or later, and he will follow the clues and trace them from you to me, and I will be in a difficult position."
Wu Ge Wu's eyes were full of vicious contempt, and he looked at Zhu Shiyong for a moment. If his eyes could be turned into sharp blades, Zhu Shiyong would have been riddled with holes.
"Brother Wu, maybe you should listen to some truth. This life of a person is actually just a dream. When you wake up from the dream, there will be nothing. As for the theory of gods and ghosts, it is false, so it is like leaving early and staying late.
But why do people in the world have to be so busy? It’s just because this dream is too long, or it’s too short. People always want to live happily in the dream and make this dream a beautiful dream. I don’t know what I say.
Do you understand?" Zhu Shiyong stared blankly at the flickering candlelight, as if talking to himself.
Ang Wukor's throat rolled and made a series of strange sounds, but none of the words could be understood.
"Brother Wu, whether you understand or not, you have to understand a truth. It is better for two people to die than for one person to die. A fish is dead and a net cannot be broken. You and I are like melons on a vine. If you follow your lead, you can touch it.
Come to me, and once I am dug out, I will pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which will affect a large area, so I can only save the other melons on this vine by cutting off the root."
"Brother Wu has been working as a clerk in our Yamen for almost four years. I remember that when you came from Ganzhou, Lord Zhou of Ganzhou recommended you to serve as a clerk in the Criminal Division of our Yamen. At that time, you came to Luzhou with your wife, children, and seven or eight children.
It was a dusty road along the way. When we arrived at my government office, the adults and children were all the same. They were as ragged as a group of beggars. The five children were so hungry that they were all skin and bones. I even asked the kitchen to cook three pots of rice, but it was not enough for your family.
That situation really brought people to tears, it was really painful at that time."
Angkor's eyes gradually changed from hatred to confusion and deep attachment, big tears welled up in his red eyes, and he made a whimpering sound.
"Later, I arranged a house for you in Xicheng, and asked your wife to come and help my government office, and you became our government office worker. In the past four years, your family has never had to worry about hunger or suffering from sun or rain.
Although it is not my fault, I have done my part. People's hearts are like flesh. If there was even a slight possibility, I would not go to this point. Did you know that Bao Zheng's men have gone there secretly?
In your house, you have to follow your vine and touch my melon."
Wu Ge Wu's eyes were dull, looking at Zhu Shiyong's moving lips and trembling beard, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Bao Zheng is a well-known mad dog. If he bites him, he will never stop. So I am here to discuss this matter with you today. I hope you can cooperate with me to tide over this difficulty."
Brother Wu Wu raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Shiyong, with a look of hope in his eyes. Zhu Shiyong was keenly aware of this, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"You know that I, Zhu Shiyong, am not an unkind person. I have been thinking about how to settle your family in the past two days. You are the pillar of the family. If the pillar falls, the old, weak, women and children in the family will have no way to survive. This is not yours alone."
This matter is related to the lives of the seven members of your family, as well as the future of me, Zhu Shiyong, and a large group of people behind me, Zhu Shiyong, do you understand?"
Angkor nodded with tears in his eyes. His heart was bleeding when he thought of his mother at home and his young son who had lost his protection or lived on the street.
"After much thought, I have a plan to get the best of both worlds. If you agree, we will do it immediately. If not, how about we discuss it in the long term?"
Angkor Wu's eyes had completely turned into a look of prayer, and he couldn't help but nod his head with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Shiyong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's right. Only a good man knows how to advance and retreat. Don't worry, this method will definitely be beneficial to you. It will not harm your life, but it will also make your mother, wife and children worry-free.
."
"First of all, you must plead guilty. You must admit that you put the suicide note on Qin Dalang's body. As for who framed Su Jin, you said you don't know it. It's just because the framed person found you and paid you a huge sum of money.
By placing the suicide note on the corpse, you forgot about your wealth and did this in a moment of confusion. If you admit this, the matter will be easier to handle."
"As for the fact that I ordered you to identify Qin Dalang's body as a suicide, if it is found out, you can only confess to the crime of dereliction of duty. You did not kill the person. You do not need to bear the responsibility for the murder. If you bite him to death, you will have a way to live.
Not only is it your livelihood, but also the livelihood of your mother, wife and children. If you reveal even a single word, I will spare you. But the people behind me who are more powerful than me will not spare you. They will kill your whole family.
It's like crushing a nest of ants."
Angkor nodded in panic. It touched his weak point when it involved the life and death of his mother, wife, and children. He could only obey.
"The confession I have here is what I just said to you. You can just sign the bond. This crime will only sentence you to assassinating your spouse. I plan to send you to Cangzhou and escort you on the road tomorrow and tomorrow.
, Cangzhou is thousands of miles away from Luzhou, and Duanzhou, where Bao Zheng went to take office, is even thousands of miles away. In the vast sea of people, where can he find you?"
"In this way, you can avoid Bao Zheng's pursuit; at the same time, I will send a hundred dollars to your home. When you arrive in Cangzhou, I will arrange for your mother, wife and children to go to Cangzhou to reunite with you. The prison manager in Cangzhou is my classmate in the past. I
I will ask you to bring a revised letter to him, and he will take special care of you. In this way, you can remain anonymous in Cangzhou, whether it is doing business, making usury, or working for others. In short, your family will be reunited, wouldn't it?
Is it as beautiful as it is?"
"Although your tongue has been ruined by these jailers, it is clear at a glance that this little disability is more important than the loss of your family. I wonder what Brother Wu thinks of this strategy of getting the best of both worlds?"
Zhu Shiyong's perfect and sincere words made Ang Wukor rekindle the fire of hope. He originally thought that he would die and planned to fight to the death if he had a chance. But after hearing the prefect's words today, he really didn't know that this prefect
Is your lord your greatest benefactor or your greatest enemy?
Zhu Shiyong took out a folded confession from his arms, slowly unfolded it and walked to Angkor's side. He also took out a brush dipped in dry ink from his waist, mixed the ink on the pen tip in clear water, and handed it to
In front of Angkor.
Ang Wuko reached out and grabbed the penholder, his arm trembling uncontrollably, and wanted to put his name under the confession, but he couldn't put the stroke down.
"If you draw a bond, we will live together. If you don't draw a bond, we will both die. I am a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. At most, I will not be protected, but your family will die." There was a coldness in Zhu Shiyong's voice, which shocked Wu Wu.
Brother was so excited that he felt a chill all over his body.
Wu Ge no longer hesitated. Driven by professional habits, he read the confession with Zhu Shiyong's hand and signed his name in the blank space below. He did not realize that the confession was made of two layers of paper stuck together;
I didn't see that the one with the confession written on it was a little short at the bottom of the inscription, and there was a faint trace of blurry glue in the middle.
Zhu Shiyong watched Wu Wu Ge sign his name, laughed loudly, folded the confession and put it in his arms, raised his thumb and said to Wu Wu Brother: "Those who know the current affairs are called heroes, and Brother Wu is called a hero."
"
Yan Bi leaned over and said in the ear of Angkor Wu: "I will make arrangements and send you on your way as soon as possible."
Brother Wu was so grateful that he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Shiyong; Zhu Shiyong laughed so hard that he got up and left.dd
