Different from most people's imagination, the Wude Prison is clean and tidy. Apart from being airtight and cold with little light, it is quite comfortable for criminals, at least compared to Kaifeng Prison. Of course, the prison doors, cells, and torture instruments are all neat and uniform.
Ironically, the highest officer of the Wude Division is now imprisoned in the Wude Division Prison.
The small cell was completely dark. From the moment he was thrown into the cell, Wang Jingchong felt uneasy and uneasy. The situation seemed to be much more serious than he imagined.
He originally thought that he would be punished by the emperor for not doing things well, and he was mentally prepared. Moreover, he also prepared a plan to deal with the emperor, but it was completely useless. Liu Chengyou didn't even see him, so he was thrown into prison.
The construction of the cell was made of very luxurious materials, including iron bars. Holding the slender iron bar and feeling the chill that penetrated his heart, Wang Jingchong felt like he was imprisoned.
He slapped the iron fence so hard that his hand hurt, but he could only make a dull collision sound. Wang Jingchong shouted at the top of his voice: "Come here, I want to see your Majesty!"
The roaring sound was transmitted and reflected in the channel until it disappeared, but there was no feedback until his throat became hoarse.
"No need to shout! This is the rule set by your Commander Wang, no one will obey it!" A weak but sarcastic voice came from the prison opposite.
Wang Jingchong frowned, looked over, and found that in the dark corner, a figure moved, like a mouse hiding in the gutter, walking out of the darkness.
Between the corridor walls, under the dim pine firelight, Wang Jingchong discovered that it was a man. His age was indistinguishable, his body was thin, his face was covered with stubble, and his complexion was pale. But at this moment, the man actually smiled at Wang Jingchong, which made the scars on his face look a bit eye-catching.
Wang Jingchong had seen a lot of the world. He frowned slightly, stared at him, and said coldly: "Who are you?"
"Haha, in less than a year, has Secretary Wang forgotten this humble official?" The man's eyes were dim, but when he looked at Wang Jingchong, he seemed particularly energetic: "Let me remind the prince, back then, you sent someone I will bring it to you and report it to the princes of the first three envoys..."
Hearing him talk about this, Wang Jingchong realized that this person was an old staff member of Wang Zhang. At first, because of Yang Bin's incident, Wang Zhang had a lot of contempt for Wang Jingchong, which often embarrassed him in front of others. Although Wang Zhang seemed to be retiring at that time, he still held a high and powerful position, making it difficult for Wang Jingchong to deal with him for a while.
Later, Wang Zhang completely disappeared from the court due to serious illness. Wang Jingchong found this person and wanted him to come forward and sue Wang Zhang. Unexpectedly, this man was very tough. He refused without hesitation and was unwilling to betray his master. He also cursed Wang Jingchong and was directly imprisoned and tortured. As a result, Wang Zhang passed away before Wang Jingchong's conspiracy could succeed, and this man has been in Wude Prison without any treatment until now.
"It turns out that you, a cheap official, are not dead yet, and are still lingering on!" Wang Jingchong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with disdain.
Hearing this, the man's smile became even brighter, he spread his hands and said, "I would also like to thank Commander Wang for taking care of me! I never knew why Gou had such a despicable life and left such a broken body. Now that I know, I just want to see Look, what will happen to you, this insidious and cruel official!
Now retribution has come, the sky has eyes! "
Wang Jingchong's face twitched, and his eyes became colder and colder. However, the man was at a loss to make a decision. Seeing his appearance, he became more and more happy and said curiously, with his tone still full of ridicule: "I don't know what great achievements Wang Commander has accomplished, what kind of ministers he has framed, and what kind of ministers he has framed, so he can So far?"
Wang Jingchong slowly calmed down and said coldly: "You bitch, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me! It's just a temporary stay in prison. Your Majesty has many uses for me."
There was a cruel glint in the old eyes, and Wang Jingchong said: "The ashes of death sometimes rekindle, and what's worse for me! You can think about how to die first, and when I get out, I will help you!"
Hearing Wang Jingchong's threatening words, the man looked indifferent, chuckled for a while, his eyes dimmed again, and he slowly retracted into the corner, sneering in the dark corner...
Wang Jingchong's mentality is actually not that good, especially when life and death interests are at stake, it is even harder to stay calm. Weiji began to pace back and forth in the cell.
"Come here, provide paper and pen, I want to submit a letter to His Majesty!"
Unfortunately, no one answered.
Just outside the passage, there were prison guards on duty, shouting at them and turning a deaf ear.
In the custody room, two jailers were drinking wine and resisting the cold air in the prison.
"The warden is the commander after all. If you ignore him, you will definitely hold a grudge when he gets out. I'm afraid..." One of them looked inside and said doubtfully.
The warden's expression was dull. Seeing that he was worried and uneasy, he said calmly: "Are you afraid of Wang Jingchong?"
"Wude Secretary, who is not afraid of you?"
Wang Jingchong is still very powerful in Wude Division. Even if he is in trouble now, most people still dare not underestimate him.
The warden spat disdainfully and said: "He is just a criminal and a prisoner now. We are afraid of what he will do. You and I are the wardens and are in charge of this place. It is he who should be afraid of us! Have you seen it? Who can enter the prison and still walk out intact? Others can't do it, and neither can he, Wang Jingchong!"
The warden's eyes were gloomy and sometimes cruel, and his tone was not polite to Wang Jingchong at all. Of course, there is a reason for this.
He was originally a local magistrate in Gyeonggi Province and was a close confidant promoted by Li Shaoyou. After Li Shaoyou resigned, he bluntly reminded him to please retreat to avoid Wang Jingchong's sharp influence. But he was unwilling to give up his position as the capital of Gyeonggi Province and did not listen. Naturally, there were no good results later.
After Wang Jingchong took control of the Wude Division, he set out to eliminate Li Shaoyou's influence and consolidate his position. He naturally suppressed such dissidents. This person also took the lead and led others to confront Wang Jingchong, so it was inevitable that his words would be true.
How could he be Wang Jingchong's opponent? He found an opportunity to seize the position of governor of Gyeonggi Province for dereliction of duty. Once he fell to the bottom, he was sent to the prison as a small warden. One can imagine the resentment towards Wang Jingchong in his heart.
"However, even though the emperor has put the commander in prison, the outcome is not certain yet!" The deputy beside him flashed his eyes and expressed hesitation.
"Hehe, why do you have to worry? Just watch here while I go see our Ambassador Wang!" The warden laughed coldly twice, stood up, picked up the remaining half a bottle of wine, and limped Go to the prison cell.
His leg was also destroyed by Wang Jingchong.
"It's you!" In the cell, Wang Jingchong stared at the warden who showed up, his face changing slightly.
"You're fine, you're welcome!" the warden said calmly.
"What do you want?" Wang Jingchong frowned and said in a deep voice.
"You're just a jailer, so what can I do?" The warden poured a sip of wine down his throat, looked at Wang Jingchong, and said, "I just came here for a visit. Unfortunately, the commander is in trouble. As a subordinate, he should take care of himself. Furthermore, when the chief minister is sent to prison, and I am the warden, how can I not neglect the friendship of the landlord!"
After looking at each other for a while with the warden, Wang Jingchong calmed his mind, pondered for a while, and said: "I want to write to your Majesty! You only need to help me this time. After you are released from prison, regardless of the past, you will be rewarded generously." You, I will transfer you out of here and restore you to your original position!"
"Haha..." After hearing what he said, the warden couldn't help but laugh twice and bowed his hands: "Young man, please thank the envoy in advance!"
"The Commander is so magnanimous! Such authority!" The warden kept talking, gradually opening up a sarcastic smile, patting his stump leg, and said: "In this prison, I am always... Remember the envoy’s kindness!”
Hearing what he said, Wang Jingchong's expression turned cold and he said, "You little jailer, don't be complacent, I will only suffer temporarily. This is an opportunity for you. If you don't cherish it, don't regret it!"
