The night was deep, and Chang'an was silent.
In prison, in a cell.
Burning torches in the dark and cold corridor. The yellow light flickered, dispelling the darkness. Rao is so, the cell is still gloomy, with silence and cold.
Li Xi and Guo Si were detained here face to face.
Li Yi is in the cell on the left and Guo Si is in the cell on the right. At the moment, both Li Xi and Guo Si are much thinner, their eyes are sunken, and there is helplessness and despair in their eyes.
They were held in prison, out of sight, waiting to die. In this case, they can only use stone to depict the days on the wall.
Li Jian knew that the time when he was tried by the public was getting closer and closer.
Tomorrow is the final public trial.
Li is afraid of public trial.
He was afraid of the people.
When he was in power, he never paid attention to the life and death of the common people, which led to the destruction of countless families in Guanzhong. Once put on trial, he can expect the madness of the people and feel numb when he thinks about it.
Sitting in the corner of the wall and looking at the words engraved on the wall, Li Jian saw that the final countdown had come. He suddenly sat up, jumped to the door of the cell, patted the door of the cell, and roared: "Guo Si, Guo ADO!"
Guo Si's nickname, Guo duo, was also called Guo ADO by Li.
Guo Si raised his head and looked at him. He said powerlessly, "what's the matter?"
Li Zhen's eyes were very eager and asked, "tomorrow is the time for execution. It's a time of life and death. Are you really willing to be killed? "
Guo Si said: "I'm not willing. What can I do? Can you help me? "
Li Zhen said: "I save you. Now even I am in trouble. I can't help myself, let alone save you. Now, it's up to you. Otherwise, we'll all die. "
Guo Si laughed, but said: "depend on me, I was caught by Zhang Xiu. The grain, money and other armor were all taken away. What else can I do? You've always been better than me. You can't help it. What can I do
"You have a way."
Li Ying made up his mind to answer.
Guo Si was so angry that he laughed and said, "what can I do?"
"You have money!" Li said
"Fart!"
Guo Si said: "as I said just now, all the food, money and so on have been taken. Now, I have nothing. Where did I get the money? "
Li Qian shook his head and said, "You Guo Si are afraid of your wife. In the Xiliang army, it's a well-known thing. Your money in the army. It's money in the army. Even if you've been ransacked, there must be money in your house in Chang'an city. Even if there is not much money hidden, there must be. I'm sure of that, because I know you
Guo Si was silent.
Li did know him.
When he was in Chang'an, he had a mansion in Chang'an, and his wife was a tiger, which made Guo Si afraid. He's very tight on all his expenses, so he's really hiding some private money.
Although not much, there are nearly 100 taels of gold.
After Guo Si was arrested, he didn't think about it at all, because it was useless. He couldn't let Zhang Xiu not kill him. Guo Si took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "even if we have money, what can we do to get out?"
"How much money do you have?" Li asked
Guo Si said: "hundred taels of gold!"
"Enough!"
There was a sharp light in Li's eyes, and he said: "Guo Addo, let's use this hundred taels of gold to lure the prison guards to let us go. This is the last chance, once missed, you and I can't survive
Guo Si said, "are you sure you can do it?"
"Always try."
Li's eyes were full of expectation.
He didn't know whether he could do it or not. If he didn't try, he would not like to die.
Guo Si said: "you operate it."
Standing in the cell, Li Zhen summoned up all his strength, beating the wooden door of the cell, shaking the chain and shouting: "come on, come on."
He had been beaten all over before.
It's just a period of time to recover. He slapped the wooden door of the cell and pulled the wound on his body. Rao is so, Li is still gritting his teeth, a desperate look.
After a while, the jailer came.
Li Jian saw the jailer and said in a loud voice: "inform the prison leader Sun Youcai and let him come. I want him to tell Zhang Xiu something important."
The jailer did not dare to disobey.
After all, it involves Zhang Xiu.
The gaoler went back to inform him that in a short time, the prison head who was responsible for guarding Li and Guo Si came in.
The head of the prison is sun Youcai, in his early 40s. Today, he is already white at the temples, and his back is bent. When sun Youcai was a child, he came from a poor family.He's been around since he was a kid. Just like this, he was among the Rangers in Guanzhong and made some famous achievements. Later, he was injured and broke down badly, so he found a relationship to spend time in the cell and take care of the cell.
Sun Youcai is a man of righteousness and righteousness.
Although he is not in good health, he has some face among the Rangers of Chang'an generation. Standing in front of the cell door with his back bent, he looked at Guo Si and Li He in his eyes with a look of disdain.
He hated Li Xi and Guo Si.
These two people have harmed countless people.
It's the one to kill.
Sun Youcai said, "what can I do for you, Li Yu? Tomorrow is the time for the public trial of you. The time of your death is coming. Please be honest with me and do not blame sun Youcai for his ruthlessness. "
His cheek twitched.
A sun Youcai dare to be arrogant in front of him.
Once upon a time, even the emperor Liu Xie, in front of him, he was also humble and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Li Zhen took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, put a smile on his face and said, "Sun Youcai, I have a business to do with you. It depends on whether you dare."
Sun Youcai said, "what kind of business?"
Li said: "I hope you find two people, one is similar to my figure, the other is similar to Guo Si's. Then, you set fire to the cell again and switch Guo Si and me out. "
"No way!"
Sun Youcai said, "don't be paranoid."
With hope in his heart, Li Yi hurriedly said, "don't worry, don't hurry to refuse. As long as you let us out, we'll give you 100 taels of gold when it's done. It's 100 taels of real gold. "
"With a hundred taels of gold, where can't you go
"With a hundred taels of gold, if you marry and concubine, it's enough to waste."
"It's a one shot deal."
Li Yi constantly bewitched: "as long as you agree, I believe it is not difficult to switch us out by your means. The completion of this big deal is enough to make you worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. Do you want your parents to be poor all their lives; do you want your son to be poor all his life; do you want to be inferior all the time? "
"Ha ha ha..."
When sun Youcai heard this, he burst out laughing.
Laughter, but also disdain.
Sun Youcai stares at Li Yi and Guo Si and says with a loud voice, "I'm afraid to make my parents miserable, my son poor all his life, and I'm afraid that I've always been inferior."
"However, I am more afraid that when I lie on my bed in the dead of night, I will dream of countless wronged souls coming to me to collect debts."
"You two scoundrels have killed countless people and led to the destruction of countless families. If you don't die, how can the thousands of people die in peace? "
"Not to mention 100 taels of gold, even if it's 10000 taels of gold, my grandson Youcai will not let you go."
Sun Youcai raised his head and said, "although I'm bent, I have a good conscience and a clear conscience. I've been guilty all my life for taking your money. I don't dare to speak loudly or stand up straight. "
"Well said!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the aisle.
But Zhang Xiu's voice came.
As soon as sun Youcai heard it, he looked back and knelt down with a plop. He saluted and said, "I've met General Zhang
"Get up!"
Zhang Xiu patted sun Youcai on the shoulder and praised him: "not bad, not bad. Although you are just an old man in prison, you are proud. "
"General, it's a low post."
When sun Youcai heard Zhang Xiu's praise, he felt comfortable and excited. He was born as a Ranger. He was good at talking and saving face. He felt that he was praised by Zhang Xiu. Once he said this, he had a lot of face.
