Qingyuan Temple is very large and has a lot of connections in all aspects. There are several princes and empresses at least. But at this time, they arrested and captured whenever they wanted. Su Ziji felt a little complicated when he saw Jian Qu looking at him. Then he said: "Also, Luo Pei seems to be released."
"Oh?" Su Ziji stopped, glanced at the garden, and then chuckled thoughtfully for a long time: "It's a bit unexpected, but thinking about it carefully, it is indeed time to let him out."
"A third-grade officer must give an explanation. He cannot be kept in a state of confusion."
In fact, Luo Pei was an unlucky guy. He had no fault for it. He just happened to sacrifice the dragon girl, and then he had a special horoscope. If he was really killed for this kind of thing, he would be considered unlucky, but if he was not killed, he would have to give an explanation.
If he is released, he may be reinstated.
"It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to join the cabinet."
According to the logic of ordinary people, if you do something wrong and you are released, you should be compensated. Politically speaking, that is not the case. Normal review is enough. If this is the case, or more serious, even if it is found to be innocent, it is still " Unreliable element".
Su Ziji remembered a case involving Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. He himself was a yellow-robed man and was very sensitive to generals. A favorite general of the Forbidden Army was reported and accused of treason. The emperor was furious and ordered his officials to torture him. Later, he found out that he had been wronged and reported it to the emperor. Knowing that, the emperor was silent for a long time and said: "Death!"
He is a human being who has been wrongly accused. It is impossible not to have resentment. Since ancient times, a person who has never been killed and found out can be reused (unless the person is changed). Just a civilian official. This person will be in charge of the Forbidden Army, so he must not be returned to his original position. went.
Luo Pei was a civil servant and would not die, but because of this he had no chance of becoming prime minister.
The logic of career is fucked like this.
"Get ready, I'm going to visit right now." Su Ziji said in a low voice: "We have done a lot of things, and now we can reap the rewards."
During the time when Luo Pei was imprisoned, the King of Shu never came once to avoid suspicion, not even one of the palace officials came.
This is a bit too cautious. If Luo Pei really died in prison, for the King of Shu, this cautiousness to avoid suspicion would indeed avoid being implicated and avoid being caught.
But the current situation is that not only will Luo Pei not die in prison, but he will probably have a chance to recover. Under such circumstances, the previous actions of the King of Shu will not only make Luo Pei alienated, but also chill everyone. heart of.
stupid!
What a stupid decision!
Su Ziji shook his head slightly, not even looking at the imprisonment of his once loyal right-hand man. After this incident, the King of Shu's party may also encounter a crisis.
But this situation is very beneficial to him.
Su Ziji had only been in the capital for a short period of time, and his foundation was unstable. It was impossible for the party members to complete the task in a short time, but it would be much easier to pry someone else's corner.
“As long as you wield your hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be pried away.”
"Moreover, the King of Shu has betrayed his heart by not asking or probing. Even if Luo Pei praises his loyalty, will the King of Shu believe that Luo Pei has no grudges?"
"Luo Pei, I can't even go back even if I want to."
"Yes! Then I will ask someone to make arrangements." Su Ziji thought to himself, Jian Qu immediately ordered someone to prepare a car, and also asked his people to go to the prison in advance to take care of everything.
For the people of the Luo Mansion who had been abandoned by the Shu King Party, it was difficult to get into the prison, but for the kings and Duke Dai, it was not difficult as long as they took care of things in advance.
prison
The bullock cart stopped at the door. Already knowing that Duke Dai was going to have a prison officer, he hurriedly ran down and saluted Su Ziji who got off the bullock cart.
"I have met Duke Dai in my humble position!"
"Okay, don't say anything else, just lead the way." Su Ziji said calmly to stop what the prison officer wanted to say.
The prison officer was busy responding and leading the way.
As soon as they walked, Su Ziji, who had an excellent memory, immediately discovered that the route he took this time was completely different from the last time. It was different from the stinking prison last time. There were walls here, but it was a high-end prison. Room.
"Master Luo changed cells?" Before Su Ziji could ask, Jian Qu, who was also aware of this, asked.
The prison officer walked, bowed and respectfully replied: "Sir, Mr. Luo has indeed changed his cell now."
When Jian Qu continued to ask, the prison officer said that he did not know why the superiors ordered such an order. He was just a low-level official and only knew how to obey orders.
"You are the only one who believes in you." In government affairs, there is room for manipulation. You can't say disobedience. You can play on the sidelines. It would be weird if you don't know what to say. That's why he continued to ask. Su Ziji shook his head slightly. Jian Qu said I stopped asking.
"My lord, this is the cell where Mr. Luo is staying. Can you two chat with Mr. Luo first? I'll go out and take a look first." The big lock on the iron gate was opened, the chain was torn off, and the prison officer said to please In one sentence, retreat first.
Su Ziji looked around, and the environment was slowly getting better as he walked along. It could be seen that the prisoners in this area lived in the area who received preferential treatment, and the environment of this cell was also better than before.
Although it is also a closed cell with an iron fence in front and a large lock, the fence area is much smaller. Looking from the outside in, you cannot see the whole cell. This gives the prisoners inside a little privacy. .
Jian Qu pushed open the cell door, and Su Ziji walked in.
A faint scent of crude incense came from inside. This kind of smell, not to mention a former high-ranking official like Luo Pei, even a seventh-grade official would not like it, but it was different from the cell that was filled with the stinking odor before. In comparison, the taste alone is the winner here.
In the neatly tidied hut, there were even tables, chairs and a wooden bed, with a set of clean bedding on the bed.
This treatment is no longer simply improved, but has been improved dramatically.
Not only the environment, Luo Pei's clothes were clean, his face looked calm, and there was more blood.
"Did the prison authorities also know that he was about to be pardoned?"
Su Ziji thought about what the prison officer said just now, and a thought came into his mind, but just like in the past, he simply cupped his hands with Luo Pei and said with a smile, "Master Luo."
"Duke Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time." Luo Pei was sitting on the couch, lost in thought. When he saw Duke Dai coming in, he quickly stood up and calmly held his hand towards Su Ziji.
It's been a long time since we last saw each other. In fact, it wasn't that long since the last time the two of them met. But for the prisoners in the prison, the word "days are like years" is not just words, but a real feeling.
Thinking of the notice he received, and looking at the person in front of him who had been helping him since he was in trouble, Luo Pei felt even more unspeakable emotions in his heart.
No wonder many people say that Duke Dai is a good person.
Not only did he avenge his father and take care of Qian Zhidong's family, he also used old people who had fallen into the dust in the Prince's Mansion.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced such ups and downs to have a deep understanding of the world's ups and downs, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced such an experience to appreciate the value of people like Dai Guogong.
Luo Pei sighed softly: "Luo will remember everything that Duke Dai did to Luo. Luo will never forget your kindness."
Jian Qu suddenly showed joy. It was impossible for a third-grade official to bow to him immediately. This was a clear sign that he was getting closer.
