Sensing the threat in Wang Jingchong's tone, the warden chuckled: "This is you Wang Jingchong! Arrogant, arrogant and domineering! With your evil intentions, Wang Jingchong, even if you help you, you still dare to expect anything in return. ? What's more, I offended you so much in the first place. With your character, how can you put aside the past grudge? I'm not that stupid!"
Sitting cross-legged, Wang Jingchong looked at him coldly, his expression a little ugly, and he was silent for a while: "When you come in front of me, you are so verbose, what can you rely on?"
The warden took another sip of wine, as if to embolden him, and said: "I am just a gangster now, extremely humble, what can I rely on? I just have a life, like a snake ant, hiding in the dark corner of the gutter. These, But it’s all thanks to you, how can I not come and express my gratitude?”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wang Jingchong chuckled twice: "A fool like you actually tried to go against me. It's not surprising that you ended up like this! Now, without thinking about keeping a secret and avoiding revenge, you still dare to come in front of me and try to humiliate me? Do you think I won’t be able to stand up after I go to jail? You can vent your anger as much as you want, but I’ll just watch a monkey playing with your ears!”
"A little jailer, short-sighted and ignorant!" Wang Jingchong seemed not to be in a cell at this time, but sitting in the lobby of the Wude Department, looking at him with a look of contempt: "I gave you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, just wait for another day!”
Hearing this, the warden couldn't help but smile and asked calmly: "Wang Jingchong, Wang Jingchong! Are you still waiting for the emperor to summon you, get out of prison, and then seek revenge?"
Wang Jingchong clenched his fists and looked at him indifferently without saying a word.
The warden was very interested, and smiled slightly: "During this period, you, Wang Jingchong, have been arrogant in the state and county, harming the officials and the people, and you are well-known both at home and abroad! Don't you know that the situation in the court, hundreds of officials are invited to report, and the voice of condemnation is very loud. How can the emperor decide? It's not certain whether you are safe or not. How dare you show off your prestige as a military moral envoy while in prison?
How His Majesty the Emperor will deal with you, whether you are guilty or pardoned, has nothing to do with me. What I want to tell you is that you, Wang Jingchong, are just a prisoner now, in the hands of a little jailer like me. "
"You are a high-ranking official and powerful, but now you are my fish and your life and death are in my hands. A snake is not afraid of having its belly broken, so it can swallow an elephant! I just don't know, if I, a rat and an ant, take a bite , Commander Wang, can you bear it?" When he said this, the warden's voice became lower and his expression became gloomy.
"What do you mean?" A trace of fear appeared on Wang Jingchong's old face, and he stared intently.
"I'll give you a drink! The weather is very cold. Please warm yourself up. Don't take it too seriously. I drank the rest..." The warden placed the wine bottle in his hand in front of the iron fence, then sneered twice and stepped forward. He picked up his remaining leg and left slowly.
Looking at his back, Wang Jingchong's expression was extremely gloomy, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
"Haha..." At this time, from the shadows on the opposite side, the laughter of "inmate" emerged, very wanton.
"It's so nice! It's so nice!" The man laughed and said, "Watching your dogs biting dogs is like drinking fine wine, you are not very intoxicated! The warden here is worthy of being a martial arts official, and he will retaliate, no less than you, a military virtue envoy!"
Wang Jingchong's face showed nervousness for the first time, and a hint of ferociousness flashed: "He dares!"
"I think he will dare!" The man's hoarse voice clearly contained expectations: "I'm quite curious, how will the warden retaliate against you? There are many instruments of torture in Wude Prison, I wonder if you can survive it How many? It is said that the cruelest punishment you designed has not yet fallen on me. I wonder if you are lucky enough to experience it yourself! If Wang Sushi doesn't want to hear it, maybe you will die in front of me. I am also looking forward to it. !”
Wang Jingchong said nothing.
Putting his eyes on the wine pot, the man couldn't help but crawl out of the corner where he was hiding, and stretched out his hand: "I haven't drank for a long time. If Wang Sishi doesn't want this, just give it to me!"
"You idiot!" Wang Jingchong couldn't bear to be disturbed, and finally broke out. He picked up the wine bottle and threw it directly at the opposite side: "When I get out, I will crush you to ashes!"
The wine flask was made of pottery, and it shattered to pieces upon impact. It was a pity for the man. He reached out his thin, scarred hand and quickly picked up the fragments in front of him. There was still a little wine in it, and he licked it clean like a hungry dog...
Between the cells, it slowly became quiet, dead silent. After a while, the annoying voice came out, still sarcastic: "That warden is not a good person. On the road to hell, Commander Wang will not be alone, and he will be accompanied by this miserable life. However, when he comes, Before I die, if I can see the fate of your Commander Wang, I will have no regrets..."
"Ha ha......"
...
Probably Liu Chengyou's "compromise" behavior confused him, making the courtiers think that they had impressed His Majesty the Emperor, so they accepted the loyal advice. Seeing that Wang Jingchong was directly imprisoned, the imperial censor returned to the palace and went to the palace to meet the saint again. He praised Liu Chengyou for his wisdom and suggested that he should be judged and punished according to law!
Then, he was dismissed by Liu Chengyou very calmly. However, in the Han Palace, Liu Chengyou was considering how to deal with Wang Jingchong.
Although he never showed it, Liu Chengyou despised Wang Jingchong from the bottom of his heart. He was too utilitarian and cruel, and he couldn't feel a trace of loyalty. He was an extreme egoist.
Of course, Liu Chengyou didn't care about his loyalty. For someone like Wang Jingchong, those two words were too cheap.
What Liu Chengyou wants is his ability to do things. He is a sharp knife that is very easy to use. Over the years, he has done a lot of things for Liu Chengyou and made a lot of contributions, giving full play to his talents and functions in the Wude Department.
And it is inevitable that over the years, Liu Chengyou has also accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction. This person's desire for power is too high, and he does not know how to restrain himself in his actions. Many times, he acts arrogantly and does his own thing. Liu Chengyou's secret files are full of misdeeds.
When Li Shaoyou was the military envoy, there may have been criticism from the government and the public, but it was not to the level it is today. When Wang Jingchong came to power, within half a year, he almost became a public enemy.
This time, Liu Chengyou was really disappointed when he went to Beijing on a business trip. In the past, it was unavoidable that there were times when people used public affairs for personal gain, but there was also a bottom line: errands and missions were always done properly.
But this time, it was different. His selfish motives were too serious. He used the power of the emperor and the court to run rampant across the prefectures and counties, and played with Wang Jingchong's authority. From Liu Zhu to Wang Yan, there was no result that satisfied him. Wang Yan, in particular, acted on his own initiative and went too far, causing trouble and almost causing bad consequences.
In addition, at this time, there was even a copy on Liu Chengyou's imperial case. Wang Jingchong's inspection of the prefectures and towns revealed that the wealth collected was worth more than 100,000 yuan in gold and jade, as well as money and silk...
One thing is certain, Liu Chengyou is murderous!
Wang Jingchong was not easy to control and had no bottom line in his actions. Liu Chengyou was already uneasy about putting such an important weapon as Wu Desi in his hands and letting him control it.
Another point, to put it bluntly, Liu Chengyou had already had the idea of throwing Wang Jingchong out and killing him to quell public anger. It was only a matter of time.
This time, it seems the time is right. However, one, Liu Chengyou was still reluctant to part with the knife, and two, he was unwilling to kill Wang Jingchong under the current situation. After all, the cause of this turmoil was ultimately due to Liu Chengyou's misjudgment and improper employment, and he did not want to undermine his majesty.
The emperor's wisdom is really not like that of the courtiers who flatter you, and you are wise...
"Zhang Dejun!" Liu Chengyou called after thinking for a long time.
"The little one is here!"
"Go to the Wude Department and present Wang Jingchong. I'd better meet him first!" Liu Chengyou ordered.
"yes!"
The Wude Prison was right on the edge of the imperial city. It didn't take long for Zhang Dejun to return and hurriedly resumed his duties, bringing Liu Chengyou unexpected news: "Official, Wang Jingchong died in prison!"
