Yang Haocai was bored and nestled in a corner of his cell, looking at the marks he had drawn on the wall. He roughly counted it, and found that it had been almost two hundred days since the day he was arrested.
He couldn't help but sigh that life passed by so fast. Before he knew it, half a year had passed.
Except for the few days after he was first arrested, when he was frequently arraigned in court, he almost never left this small cell.
At the beginning, he was still very anxious and frightened every day. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and he lost a lot of weight. But as time went by, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with living such a peaceful life alone. Compared with the past few decades, every day was like walking on thin ice, as if walking on the tip of a knife. Today, life now seems particularly happy.
Thinking about the years under Wanyanping, he didn't know how he persisted. He almost didn't dare to close his eyes every day, for fear that some of his actions would arouse Wanyanping's suspicion and affect the plan.
Now, he was finally free. He didn't have to live a cautious life and could completely relax. Even if he was dragged out for execution today, he would not complain at all.
However, he had a feeling that the Shen Jiajun people, especially the general who arrested him, seemed to have forgotten about him. Otherwise, how could it be possible that he had not been brought to court for half a year? This was not true at all. In line with common sense. Of course, there is another possibility. The longer time goes by, the bigger the problem will be.
"Yang Haocai!" The soldier who delivered Yang Haocai's meals every day suddenly appeared at the cell door and looked at him with a serious expression, "Get up and follow me."
Hearing the soldier's words, Yang Haocai was shocked. This tone was only used when he first came in and was interrogated. He was in a daze. Why was he remembered again after more than half a year?
However, seeing the cold face of the soldier, Yang Haocai did not dare to delay no matter how many questions he had in his heart. He quickly got up from the ground, shook off the grass roots and dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and followed the soldier out of the cell. .
When he was brought into the interrogation room and saw Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Xia Jiu inside, Yang Haocai's doubts became even greater. If these people appeared here at the same time, there must be nothing good going on.
Xue Ruitian waited for Yang Haocai to sit down and looked at the thin middle-aged man carefully. In his impression, Yang Haocai did not look like this. He felt that he looked different than when he caught him before, because he had not seen him for a long time. The sunshine looks more gloomy.
"Long time no see, Yang Haocai." Jin Jing crossed her legs and looked at the somewhat restrained Yang Haocai with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, we are just here to chat with you."
"...Okay." Yang Haocai looked at Xue Ruitian and then at Jin Jing, knowing that they were the two who made the decisions in this room, "I wonder what the adults want to talk to the villain."
"You know, if there is a murder case against you, according to the laws of Daxia, even if the world is amnesty, you will inevitably die, and you will not be able to escape the execution after the autumn." Jin Jing touched her chin, "But even so, you still have to explain clearly."
"Yes, the villain knows that he will inevitably die, but he has no regrets at all." Yang Hao finally understood the meaning of Jin Jing's words, "Back then, the villain was forced to have no choice. If he didn't strike first, he would probably die. He is just a villain." He smiled at Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, "There is no need to investigate what happened back then, villain... I don't want to mention it, but I admit the crime of murder."
"It seems that what happened back then had a great impact on you, and you have been avoiding it until now." Jin Jing nodded, "Okay, since you don't want to mention it, we won't poke your scars. Let's talk. Besides, let’s talk about your escape from Daxia and what happened in the Kingdom of Jin, okay?”
"The adults and the little ones have already said what they need to say, what else do you want to talk about?"
"If our news is correct, you initially surrendered to the First Prince, right? A few months before the First Prince's accident, you rebelled against the First Prince's Mansion and joined your current master, Wanyan Ping. Wrong?"
"I have to say that the villain quite admires the adults for being able to investigate things so far back." Yang Haocai smiled softly, "Many people don't know that the villain was once a disciple of the eldest prince, and he always thought that the villain People are the general’s minions.”
"We didn't investigate, it was your former master's brother who told us."
"The former master's younger brother?" Yang Haocai looked at Jin Jing in shock, as if he couldn't believe it, "You... have found Master Xiao Xi?"
"Master Xiao Xi?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The eldest prince is really far-sighted!"
"Master Jin, please answer the villain's question directly. Have you found the little prince?"
"So what if you find it, so what if you don't find it?" Jin Jing raised her lips slightly, "Yang Haocai, do you want to make meritorious service? You only have one chance, which is to cooperate with us honestly and answer all questions. Do you understand? ?”
"Master Jin, that's not what I mean. What I mean is, have you really found the little prince? I only want this answer."
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. Anyway, you can't spread any news here. Your companions who were captured with you have all been executed." Xue Ruitian looked at Yang Haocai and nodded at him, "You are right. Wan Yanxi has been found, and he came to us on his own initiative, seeking to cooperate with us to avenge his father and dead brother."
"Is it true?" Yang Haocai couldn't believe his ears. He confirmed several times before he was sure that what he heard was true. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What's going on?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, walked up to Yang Haocai, and handed him a handkerchief, "Why are you still crying?"
"Little man...little man...this is a joy."
As soon as Jin Jing saw his look, she knew that persuasion was absolutely not allowed. The more she tried to persuade her, the harder she would cry. The best thing was to let her cry out her frustration and anxiety for many days. Forcefully suppressed emotions to be vented.
Yang Haocai cried loudly for a whole hour, his eyes were swollen from crying, and he finally released his emotions.
He thanked Hongye who brought him a basin of wash water, washed his face in shackles, and calmed down his excitement.
"The little man would like to solemnly thank the adults on behalf of the eldest prince. Thank you for helping the little prince. Thank you for fulfilling the eldest prince's wish."
