Amidst several loud "crash" sounds, layers of guards rushed in from outside the palace. There were as many as twenty or thirty people. Their swords and guns were bright in their hands and their expressions were fierce. They looked at Lin Wanrong and rushed to catch him.
"Wait a minute -" Lin Wanrong shouted: "Your Majesty, the people are confused. Why does the Emperor want to take the people?"
The emperor sneered and said: "Lin San, I ask you again, when you attacked the White Lotus Sect, was the Holy Mother White Lotus already killed among thousands of cannons?"
"This -" Lin Wanrong was startled, and his thoughts quickly changed: "Theoretically, it should be like this!"
"It should be like this? What should it be like? You are safe and sound among thousands of cannons, but Our Lady of the White Lotus will be buried in the sea of fire? Lin San, I think you have some merits, so I gave you a chance, but you are so dishonest. Our Lady of the White Lotus, An Biru, Sister An, Sister Master, each one is more affectionate than the other, hum, Lin San, do you really not know her?" The emperor said slowly, but every word struck Lin Wanrong's heart.
Sister An, Sister Master, these extremely secretive titles are only known to a few people. Where did the old emperor hear them? Could it be that Lin Wanrong was stunned and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The emperor's eyes flashed with light, and he hummed: "I miss you because you are young and do not know the sinister nature of people's hearts, so I will give you another chance. As long as you reveal the whereabouts of Our Lady of the White Lotus, I will forget the blame and will reuse you again. If you don't Say—" A sharp light flashed across the emperor's face, and his eyebrows raised slightly. Needless to say, he knew what the consequences would be.
Damn it, I knew there was a conspiracy. How could I just enter the emperor's bedroom? Fortunately, Lao Xu dared to say it was a great grace. It was too late for him to regret, and he remembered every detail of his interactions with An Biru. Although she was always in trouble with him, she was always caring. This half-friend, half-enemy relationship gave him a unique feeling in his heart. Don't say you don't know the whereabouts of Sister An. Even if he knew, he couldn't tell.
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, you treat me as a villain. Lin San, I can deceive people in the world, but I will never deceive myself. It is true that I know Sister An, but I also know You, I helped you by destroying the White Lotus Sect, but Sister An saved my life. She is a weak woman who has lost her support and has long lost her heart to oppose the emperor. Sorry about my friends."
"Bold!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair hard and said: "How dare you compare me with the White Lotus rebel? Come on, drag Lin San down. Kill him!"
Several burly guards rushed forward fiercely. Lin Wanrong struggled to break away and said loudly: "I, Mr. Lin, am a small servant of the Xiao family. I don't seek fame or profit. I have never thought of becoming the prime minister. , it was the emperor who brought me here, but now he wants to kill me for an inexplicable thing. "Your Majesty, what you did is not honest."
Several guards pulled him away. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but touch the musket in his arms several times, but thinking that the person sitting opposite was Qingxuan's father, she felt really embarrassed.
The emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his eyes were sometimes angry and sometimes calm. When he pulled Lin San down, he shook his head helplessly. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's really a thorn in the side. Xiao Weizi, the person you found for me is really brave."
The blind old man Wei flashed out from behind the tent, knelt down on the ground and said, "This slave begs the master to be merciful and spare his life. He knows nothing about this matter and got involved all because of the slave's selfish thoughts. Please Master, spare his life."
The emperor hummed: "Xiao Weizi, how can there be innocent people in this world? Everyone dies for his own reason. You say he is innocent, but he sacrificed his life for the Royal Family of Dahua, so how can he be called innocent? He He is quite talented, but unfortunately he is a bit stubborn!"
"Master, being stubborn is not necessarily a bad thing. Since he is willing to sacrifice his life for his friends, it is better than those who betray their confidants for their own interests. I remember that when the late emperor was still alive, he once praised you, saying that you have a firm character, are stubborn and unyielding, and can endure a lot. Ten years later, one blow was fatal. Although this Lin San doesn't have your forbearance, he still has your charm in stubbornness."
"Hahahaha——" The emperor laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Weizi, I wonder if you still remember these words of my father. Very good, very good. You are right. There are many betrayers in this world, like There are very few people with such backbone like Lin San. Since he is not afraid of killing a traitor, he will definitely not betray me in the future."
"Then why does the emperor still want to-" Old Wei was puzzled, but the emperor cut him off and said: "Do you think I really want to kill him?" A glimmer of light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger. Become obvious.
"Old slave understands." Old Wei was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty is so talented and far-sighted that I admire you so much."
The emperor personally helped him up and said: "Little Wei Zi, I know that you are loyal to me. The Lin San you recommended is good, but I am a little disappointed with Su Mubai, whom I have worked hard to cultivate. I watered it carefully. The flowers are not as strong as the wild peanuts. I finally understand this today. "
Old Wei was very happy, but he didn't dare to show it at all. The power of God is unpredictable. Who knows whether what the emperor said is true or false. The emperor continued: "Lin San is a good young man, but he is hooking up with the Holy Mother of White Lotus, which I will never tolerate. This time, I will completely cut him off."
The emperor's eyes flashed coldly, and the murderous look on his face could no longer be hidden, and he shouted loudly: "Here comes -"
A young eunuch hurriedly came in and said, "The slave is here!"
"Go down and tell them to publish the list overnight and post it in the streets and alleys of Beijing. They say that there is a suspect. As a general of the imperial court, he had an affair with the Holy Mother of White Lotus when he was besieging Bailian. This is an unforgivable crime. He will be detained in the sky prison tonight and tomorrow "Beheaded at the market entrance in the afternoon" [Hand-beating by Heaven's Kiss].
"According to the order!" The little eunuch took the order and left. Old Wei was shocked, and the emperor smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Weizi, do you understand what I mean?"
Old Man Wei bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is forcing the White Lotus Virgin to come to save people tonight. If she doesn't come, there will be a rift between Lin San and her. If she comes, it will be over. Your Majesty is wise. "
The emperor nodded: "Xiao Weizi, after all, you understand my thoughts best. Lin San, Lin San, don't let me down."
Damn it, go ahead and rebel. If you don't, you will really lose your head. Being dragged out of the door by the guards, Lin Wanrong's thoughts were racing. He was about to reach into his arms to touch the gun, but he saw Eunuch Gao hurried over, glanced at Lin Wanrong, and sang loudly: "The emperor has a decree, temporarily. Lin San was imprisoned and put into a prison."
Heavenly prison? Lin Wanrong's mind was a bit lost. Why was it suddenly changed from death penalty to suspended death? Do I still want to fight back? Damn it, the old emperor is really not happy enough.
Eunuch Gao came over and asked softly: "Mr. Lin, the emperor has told you to stay in Tianlao for a few days and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Once you have thought about it, you will report to the emperor."
Go to Tianlao to reflect on your past? This is a naked threat. He asked anxiously: "What if I didn't think about it well? Did the emperor say what to do?"
"The Emperor didn't mention this." Eunuch Gao shook his head and said: "The power of God is unpredictable. How can we, the slaves, guess the Emperor's majestic talents and strategies? You guys -" Eunuch Gao said to those few The guard pointed and said: "Serve Mr. Lin well. If he loses a hair, be careful that the emperor snaps your heads."
The guards who were originally fierce and fierce immediately let go of Lin Wanrong's hand. A guard who looked like a leader said with a flattering smile on his face: "Master Lin, please come with me."
Lin Wanrong finally understood what it meant to be an emperor. He changed his mind every moment, beheaded him here and there, and entered the prison. After several times of tossing, he was either hacked to death or frightened to death. Lin Wanrong looked back at Qianqing Palace and saw that it was brightly lit but quiet. The emperor who had been speaking harshly just now disappeared in the blink of an eye. He shook his head helplessly, Qingxuan, you are such a difficult father to take care of. I almost killed your husband.
People who have been taken care of are different. The guards "invited" him into the sky jail without even searching his body. The prison chief had already greeted him respectfully and carefully led him into a spacious and tidy room. The large room is equipped with silk quilts and jade beds, chess, calligraphy and painting, the four treasures of the study, and washing supplies. Except for the slight lack of freedom, everything else is available. This is not like being in jail, it is simply more comfortable than staying in a hotel.
Lin Wanrong looked around in disbelief. He felt funny in his heart. If I lose my job in the future, I will just go to jail to eat. The prison head smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, if you see what's missing, I'll go buy it for you."
Lin Wanrong took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to him: "There is no shortage. Thank you, big brother. These are just for the little brother to treat everyone to a drink."
"How can this be done!" The prison boss struggled for a while and finally put the banknote into his arms. The smile on his face became more earnest: "Sir, do you want the ladies in your house to sleep with you tonight? I don't know where your house is. Where, which lady do you want? Or the popular lady from Bada Alley? I will summon you right now."
Lin Wanrong took a breath, this service is really beyond words. However, the eldest lady should not know about going to jail, otherwise the girl will not know what trouble will happen.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said with a smile: "I have too many good friends with my wife. If one of them is summoned, the others will definitely get into trouble, so let's avoid it. Brother, the service you have here is good. Oh, before me, live here Who is it that came in here?"
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Xu Wei also stayed here a few days ago." The cell leader said respectfully.
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. It turned out that Lao Xu had also lived in prison. In this way, I, Lin San, and Xu Wei were on the same level. I was not unjustly imprisoned today!
