Chapter 155
2.
When the moon is full, you will lose money.The moon in the second half of the month is eating away losses day by day, like a gradually losing confidence.

Zhou Dun didn't care when he was arrested at first, and concluded that Bingmasi didn't dare to do anything to him.Bingmasi really didn't dare to do anything to him, who was full and ran to fight against the big backer behind the master!The detention was just to show Zhu Weixiong's face, and it was called "detention", but in fact it was served by big fish and meat. The Xuncheng Yushi, who was directly in charge of the military and horse department, notified Sun Xiuda, the housekeeper of Ruyuan, in a hurry.Zhou Dun originally thought that Ruyuan would come to ask for someone in at most two hours, and it would be over if he went back and scolded the prince.Unexpectedly, I waited left and right, squatted in the cell for three or four days, and finally waited until Sun Xiuda, who was still looking mournful, said, "Brother Zhou, that person surnamed Zhu refused to let him go, and launched six subjects and thirteen ways." The officials from all walks of life went to the book to impeach you. They said that this is not the first time you have dismissed human life. Your wife, who is a 'dairie', promised to be bought by you. If you don't comply with the appeal, you will be imprisoned. You were persecuted to death. You also said that you used the power of the prince to flaunt yourself as a "general" and asked the officials for door bags to fill your own pockets. In the previous period of renovation of the Qiuzu Temple in Baiyun Temple, you alone donated 30 taels of silver. Even you They made a big fuss about the jokes they made with Mr. Lu that day."

"What Master Lu?"

"Oh, Lu Kuo, the assistant clerk of the cabinet! You saw that he was over forty years old and hadn't grown a beard, so you made fun of it, but the old boy said politely: "If my father-in-law doesn't have it, how dare I have it?" The official didn't say that the old white face was born to love stinky feet, but he said that "the courtiers endure humiliation and flattery, which shows their power on weekdays". All day long, there are notebooks handed to the prince, and I don't know how many of you are listed. Hundreds of crimes, in a word, my brother, this time things are really messed up."

Zhou Dun's brow was sweating coldly, and he was panicked, "Where is the prince, what did the prince say?"

Sun Xiuda was bitter, and spread his hands to both sides.

Zhou Dun was in a hurry and grabbed his hand, "My brother, you have to say something to the prince for me!"

Sun Xiuda also took the opponent's hand back and slapped it twice, "Do you still need to say it? Up to now, the princes who impeached him have not been approved, and all of them have been intercepted, but what is the prince thinking in his heart—, oh, Let me tell you the truth, my brother. Two days ago, Madam Duan wanted to ask for favors for you, and she got angry with the boss, let alone us. Now no one dares to mention your name, or the prince will just look at you, you still Don't know? It's so cold that it can kill people!"

Zhou Dun's eyes were dazed, and he leaned back against the bare mahogany chair back exhaustedly.It was from this day that he no longer had the leisure to gamble and roll dice at night, but looked at the moon inside the high wall, watching it tick by tick.In a quiet place in the middle of the night, I thought about all the relentless, resolute and cruel things that I had followed the prince for more than ten years to watch him and helped him do.Touching the arrow wounds on both cheeks, curled up on the narrow plank bed and sobbed, got up, but bowed four times in the direction of Ruyuan, and waited for the end that the master bestowed on him.

"Punish them severely to make an example of others."

After reading this, the light eight-character lines on Qi She's brows are raised high under the sunlight shining through the window.As soon as he heard about the accident, he could see the direction of the situation, so he stood still, so as not to be involved in this turmoil.Yan Shen and Zhou Dun's excerpts continued every day. If he played for his own interests, not only those officials and clean-spirited people who thought they were worried about the world and guarded themselves would not give up, but hostile forces would also use this to attack the New Deal.The most appropriate solution, of course he knows, is to "destroy relatives with righteousness".Not to give people a handle, but to establish a wise voice, but——

In a flash, Qi She vaguely saw a figure dressed in a crisp uniform, with a white face of thirteen or fourteen years old, fingers that were as cold as carrots, and a bulging lump was pulled out of his pocket. The paper bag said, "Master, are you hungry? Look, the sauced mutton, while it's hot." With big eyes shining brightly, he squatted down in the air-conditioning with a "sizzling" sound in his mouth, and found a needle thread somewhere. Bao, "Master, you are eating, and this servant will mend the hem of this robe for you. The master will be wronged for two more days, and when the monthly money is released, the servant will save enough money to buy you a decent new cotton-padded coat. Also, master , Last time you told me about the slave, the slave is almost done. There is a little townsman who said that his brother has bows and arrows. The slave has a good relationship with him. If you can use credit first, it will be done in two days. The master secretly brought it in. How many stones did the master ask for?..." In the cold kiln where the window paper was torn, the imprisoned prince held a piece of uncut mutton in his hands and gnawed like a wolf. Just wiped it on the cuff, and choked so hard that he couldn't even say a word.Under the kang, he was a born slave who never cared about his family's poverty. He did nothing but because he was the "master" assigned to him by fate.Years later, the little slave lifted the master's helmet from the ground with a soldier's hand, stepped on the master's horse, and presumptuously galloped to death for the master.

Qi Shemeng closed his eyes, then opened them again, and saw the concluding statement in the upper and lower sides of his nose: "In order not to pretend to be cunning, the Fa-rectification will be done on the spot." A thousand catty boulder.And this symptom, as an outstanding strategist, he thought he was immune to it.

On the sixth day after the incident, that is, on January 25, the regent Wang Chongjian beat the son of the court official to death. The regent personally issued an order to order the Criminal Trial Department to move a group of criminals headed by Zhou Dun. Officially transferred to Tianlao for detention, and the case will be questioned by the Three Law Departments. All kinds of illegal activities will be strictly investigated and the eunuch temple will be rectified.This act of impartiality immediately blocked the mouths of Youyou, and the officials of the six departments went down the donkey and stopped the drums.

In the silence of Ye Lai's voice and the gusty wind, a pair of giant shadows of stone lions can be vaguely seen in front of the dark prison of the Ministry of Justice, which is very terrifying.A "creak" sound was suddenly heard in the dungeon full of sentries. Two prison guards removed the door bars. One was carrying two stools and the other was carrying two food boxes. Advance in the dim long corridor.Both sides of the corridor are lined with single cells, and angry roars, provocative laughs, and painful moans can be heard from each cell... When the cell next to the head is reached, the jailer unlocks the lock, pushes aside the thick wooden fence, and puts it down. When you get something, shrink back and exit.

"Brother?"

On the earth kang by the wall, Zhou Dun, who was lying facing the wall, turned over when he heard the sound, and when he saw it clearly, he jumped down with a "boom", "Brother Sun!"

Sun Xiuda busily chattered about lighting wax and cloth dishes, "Isn't it enough for the past two days? Come on, my brother ordered a large table of jelly dishes to bring you in, so you can satisfy your hunger, and there is wine, your favorite." Zhuyeqing. Hey, this is a good thing, Royal Wine, the prince rewarded it."

Staring at Sun Xiuda pouring out a pool of translucent juice from the chicken heart silver jug, Zhou Dun suddenly looked stunned and forced a smile, "Your Majesty rewarded it?"

"Ah, the prince asked me to bring it in for you. My brother, you are so proud of yourself. Sit, sit."

Zhou Dun sat down on another bench, staring blankly at the fine porcelain wine glass, "Does your lord have anything to say to this servant?"

"Yes! Come on, drink first, oops, don't talk about you, my saliva will flow out-what the hell is it called? Call again, I will let the king come in and give you a turtle to sit on the tiger stool, to protect you Scream more happily!" Sun Xiuda yelled and cursed at the cell diagonally opposite, and then sighed sympathetically at Zhou Dun, "This place is really strong, brother, you are suffering. Hey, don't just look at it, taste it, just taste it. It’s just for you, no one else has this kind of blessing, how about it, huh? Royal wine is different, huh?”

The bright stains that Zhou Dun wiped away from the corner of his mouth penetrated into his eyes, as if placing a piece of fate carefully, he put the empty cup back reverently, "Brother, please kowtow to the master to thank you for me."

"Don't worry. Come on, move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks, and tell you while eating, brother, eat, come." Sun Xiuda stuffed a pair of slightly yellowed tooth chopsticks into Zhou Dun's hands, and took a chopstick to open the bird's nest first. Chewing, "This thing is like this, those people are like dogs biting you, you know it, the prince weighed it over and over again, and had to deal with you in this way. It seems that it is a 'joint trial' that will go to war, and it is also stipulated that every Every ten days, I will report the progress of the question and answer. In fact, it is all for outsiders to read. The articles in it are all marked with the word "drag". Someone will come to teach you carefully before going to court. What should you say in the hall? The few people under you find two people to convict and hang for the dead ghost, and you can come out safe and sound. Well, anyway, they were the ones who accidentally killed people, and they deserved what they deserve. But the prince said, the root of this matter lies with you I'm not working hard, let you reflect on yourself in this ghost place first, and when you understand everything, I will change you to a more comfortable place to stay. Oh, don't cry, why are you crying? Didn't everyone tell you that you are fine? ? Ai, ai!"

Zhou Dun was shaking, and covered his face with his hands, "It's from the prince, no, it's not poisonous wine?"

"Poison—?" Sun Xiuda's face protruded with two round eyes and a round mouth, and he slapped the chopsticks, filled with righteous indignation, "Hey, I said Zhou Dun, I have to learn this. You have to let the master chill to death, you don’t even know how much effort the master has gone through to deal with your fuss! Oh, this wine, why don’t I tell you that it’s from the imperial wine room as soon as it’s served? I've been hungry for a long time! Bring it here, this poisonous wine, if you don't drink it, I'll drink it..." He grabbed the jug and poured it into his mouth, smashing his mouth with one side, and looked at the other side's tears with a smile .

Outside the dungeon, the first quarter moon of the new month hangs high.

"Zhou Dun's case has been successfully resolved."
