Chapter 217: Cang Dang is in jail
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, please come!" Prime Minister Zuo stood at the door of the prison, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Father-in-law! Is it okay if I don't go in?" Bi Yuntao said with a sad face, "You clearly said last night that as long as I cooperate with your acting, I can survive, but now it doesn't match what you said at all!"
"What are you talking about! Get me in quickly!" The left prime minister didn't talk nonsense to him. He grabbed Bi Yuntao's collar and threw him into the cell. "You are whining like a girl. You insist on forcing me to do something." That’s it!”
"Come here! I was wronged!" Bi Yuntao picked up the doorpost of the cell, stuck his head out and looked at the disappearing figure of the left prime minister, and kept shouting: "I just acted according to your instructions, and you will give up after the result." What's the point of killing a donkey?"
"I want to write a letter in blood, I want to meet the emperor! I want to file a complaint!" Bi Yuntao kept yelling at the top of his lungs, but no one left him at all.
"Is there any more royal law? I am the majestic King of Qi. Everything I do is for the court and the emperor. Why are you doing this to me?"
"Okay! Stop howling!" A prison guard came over impatiently, holding a broken bowl with three steamed buns in his hand. He placed it in front of Bi Yuntao and said sullenly, "Master Zuo Xiang But I personally told you to let me take good care of you. I don’t care who you are, everyone who comes in must listen to me, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
"Brother, are you mistaken?" Bi Yuntao looked at the cell leader with tears in his eyes. "The Prime Minister asked you to take good care of me. This is actually the literal meaning. There is no other meaning."
"I mean it literally!" Liu Laotou looked at Bi Yuntao with strange eyes, as if looking at a fool, "Are you going to eat or not? If you don't eat, you'll be hungry!" He then picked up the broken bowl from the ground. .
"No, no, no! I'm not going to eat it!" Bi Yuntao quickly snatched the wowotou and held it in his arms. At the same time, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it into Liu Laotou's hand without leaving any trace. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother, do you know your surname?"
"My surname is Liu, please call me Brother Liu." Liu Laotou weighed the broken silver in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and put it into his belt without leaving any trace.
"You are young, but you know the rules." Liu Laotou showed his big yellow teeth and patted Bi Yuntao on the shoulder happily, "Don't look at the big prison, but as long as you know the rules, who dares If he bullies you, just follow me, I will definitely deal with him and make him obedient."
"Haha, thank you so much, Brother Liu." Bi Yuntao smiled obsequiously, took out a piece of broken silver again without leaving any trace, put it into Liu's hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother Liu, I wonder if I can get a bottle of wine for my brother? This money can be regarded as the hard work of bothering my brother to run errands."
"Hahaha! This is all the same! Although you and I are just meeting for the first time, we feel like old friends once we see each other. If you have anything to do, please ask your elder brother, and he will naturally help you with all his strength. Just wait here for a while, and I will get you some good wine. vegetable."
Liu Laotou patted his chest in assurance, while playing with the broken silver in his hand, he walked out of the prison with satisfaction.
"Bah! It's so dark!" Bi Yuntao spat in displeasure, "Hey!" Just think of it as a way to avoid disaster. Fortunately, I have a storage ring. Fortunately, I won 400,000 silver from Ji Wuli and the others before. Fortunately, I know the current affairs. Otherwise, with my mere fifty taels of salary, I am afraid that I will have to eat this wormwood. It’s been a while.
"I'm holding the steamed buns in my hand, and there's not a drop of oil in the dish." Bi Yuntao hummed the song "Sorrow, Sorrow" sadly and angrily while nibbling the steamed buns.
"Life in prison is so painful! It's heart-wrenching step by step. Holding the glutinous rice balls in my hands, tears couldn't stop flowing down. What a shameful crime I committed! How can I raise my head? I left my loved ones. After losing my freedom, my tears turned into a stream of bitterness. From now on, I have no face to see my loved ones again. Infinite sorrow is added to my heart, and my head is gray with sorrow. Since I separated from you, I have lived in the prison building. Tears It can't stop flowing, it can't stop flowing down,
I have the Erchiao brand hanging around my neck! Take me through the streets! "
It was sung to the point of bursting into tears, and it was heart-breaking to sing.
"Okay! Stop howling!" Liu Laotou opened the cell door, "The emperor is here to see you, why don't you come over and see the emperor quickly?"
At this time, the emperor's head was full of black lines. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have believed it to be true.
If the emperor hadn't felt guilty about him, anyone who saw him holding dishes and drinking wine would have walked away in anger.
"Come here! How can you not let people eat when the emperor is here?" Bi Yuntao depressedly picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
"Ha!" Bi Yuntao wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and continued singing "Sorrow, Sorrow" while eating the food.
"Ahem!" A majestic voice sounded. Bi Yuntao stopped his tone-deaf singing, took out his ears, then turned his face, put down the wine bottle, and obsequiously wiped the straw mat beside him. He didn't know what he was wiping. thing.
"The emperor is here, haven't you eaten yet? Come in and sit down. The food and wine are quite good. It's been a long time since we, father and son, have sat together and had a drink."
The emperor looked at the mess on the plate. Is there anything else that can be eaten? His face was ashen, was this still the Taoer he knew before? Why have you become so philistine now?
"It seems that you are living a good life in the cell!" The emperor said coldly, "I am too worried, so just give these meals to the government officials!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" When Bi Yuntao heard this, he immediately became anxious. He came to the emperor with both hands and feet, grabbed the food box from Eunuch Gui, and protected it in his arms.
"Father, since you brought food here, you should come early! This nest of cornstarch is dry and unpalatable. If Liu Laotou hadn't hit it off with the kid and secretly brought a jug of wine from outside, I'm afraid the kid would have eaten it. I'm so thirsty."
"Really?" The emperor glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at Liu Laotou, who kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Liu Laotou smiled awkwardly. This was the first time he had seen the emperor in person. When he saw the emperor's eyes filled with coldness, his pressure doubled and he didn't know how to reply.
"You go down first!" The emperor winked at Eunuch Gui. Eunuch Gui agreed and took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Liu Laotou's hand. "The Za family is watching here. If anything happens, they will call you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Laotou kept smiling and bowing.
"This is for dinner, this is for tomorrow, this is..." As soon as Liu Laotou left, he heard Bi Yuntao's muttering.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so stop pretending to be pitiful." The emperor interrupted Bi Yuntao's performance impatiently.
"How can I pretend to be pitiful? Who knows how long you are going to keep me in prison? I have to be more careful!" Bi Yuntao retorted.
"Eunuch Gui!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Gui heard the emperor's call and came out of the shadows.
"Take the food away!"
"Hey!" Bi Yuntao became anxious when he heard this, "You can't do this? Why do you start throwing sand when you can't afford it?"
"Are you still pretending?" the emperor asked sharply.
"Stop pretending!" Bi Yuntao suddenly stopped and sat aside angrily, fiddling with the pastries and meat on the plate.
"Hey, why don't you ask the imperial kitchen to deliver food to you every time in the future?" The emperor frowned and said, "You are satisfied this time!"
"Didn't I just change a little of the script without authorization! As for why you have so much resentment against me?"
"Father, do you call this a slight change?" Bi Yuntao's voice suddenly rose, "Look at how I look now, do you call this a slight change? You simply completely overturned the ending and directly changed the script."
"Look at this Wo Wotou, which is as hard as a rock. Look, it's dark. If it wasn't a Wo Wotou, I would have thought it was a stone!" Bi Yuntao angrily picked up the Wo Wotou in the broken bowl. Hand the steamed bun to the emperor.
"Ahem! Uh-huh!" When Bi Yuntao directly broke the topic, the emperor's face was embarrassed, his eyes were evasive, and he did not dare to look directly at Bi Yuntao.
"A mistake! A mistake! Didn't I bring food to apologize to you?"
"How can you apologize like this?" Bi Yuntao threw down his chopsticks and looked at the emperor angrily, "I worked so hard for you doing dirty work. In the end, not only did I not get any reward , and you were thrown directly into jail."
"Try your conscience, how can you do things like this?" Bi Yuntao complained with tears in his nose, "If I hadn't accidentally found those letters exchanged between corrupt officials, you, in your treasury Is your money just for others to spend?"
"Didn't I just kill all the more than a hundred members of the Han family! They deserved their death. If I hadn't been unable to calm down the resentment in my heart and visited the Han family at night, how would I have known that there were so many tricks behind them."
"It's okay if you don't thank the child, but you kill him. If the mother and concubine know that I am imprisoned by you, you will have a good life. Before going to the Jinluan Palace, the mother and concubine said it personally. If you dare to deal with the child, I will come to you. If you don't let me go, my mother and concubine will make trouble."
The emperor's buttocks tightened, and the unbearable memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes, I've wronged you, isn't it?" The emperor no longer put on airs and quickly comforted him, "Can I apologize to you?"
Although Bi Yuntao burst into tears, he was just pretending. He wished the emperor would deal with him so that he could take the opportunity to make a request to the emperor.
"Then you now decree that Xue Ruyue will be betrothed to me!" Bi Yuntao used the cover of his sleeves to secretly look at the emperor's expression. As expected, the emperor began to give in, so he used the opportunity to express his feelings. Thoughts.
"No!" The emperor immediately understood that he had fallen into his trap, and with a straight face, he refused righteously.
"Why not? I will not hesitate to bear the reputation of killing people, but I also want to defend your country and money. You don't agree to even this little request of mine, so I'd better let the child die. Wuwuwu!"
"It's not over, is it?" Seeing his scoundrel appearance, the corners of the emperor's mouth kept twitching. In the end, he was really upset by his wails and howls, so he squeezed out a sentence, "Now is not the time! "
Ga? Bi Yuntao's howling voice stopped instantly, "Isn't it the time now? What do you mean? Now everyone in the capital knows that I became a beauty in anger, and even a three-year-old child knows that Xue Ruyue is already my King Qi's. Woman, why can’t you issue an order now?”
