C394 A man's world

Yue Pengju let go of his wife's hand and handed over the big bundle to him. Inside were some Dong Ri's change clothes and toiletries, "Pengju, Dong Ri's cold, these are all useful. This other one is something that the Sis GaoSi has brought to Zhang Xian … "

A package weighed as much as a thousand kilograms. Yue Pengju could barely hold onto it as he embraced his wife tightly, "Sister Shi Qi, you have to stay alive and well …"

Hua Rong could no longer hold it in and started crying bitterly.

Outside, Yang Yizhong saw that Yue Pengju was not able to come out for a long time, and could not drink anymore. He was not afraid of Yue Pengju escaping, but he was afraid of Yue Pengju committing suicide. If Yue Pengju committed suicide, how could he explain himself to Qin Gui and Zhang Jun? He stood up and asked Ma Chao, "Why isn't Yue Xiang Gong coming out yet?"

Ma Chao bowed, but before he could reply, he heard a faint voice from behind: "Thank you for waiting for a long time, Brother Yang. "We will follow Brother Yang and continue on our journey."

Yang Yizhong heaved a sigh of relief, seeing Yue Pengju walk towards the empty palanquin, he could not help but follow along and speak in a low voice: "Yue Xiang Gong, why don't you imitate Han Xiang Gong?"

Yue Pengju shook his head: "Thank you for your good intentions Brother Yang."

Yue Pengju fought against the Golden Man in the north, fought against the south, fought in the cave, and fought against Yang Wei in the north. However, he died before he could even make it to the sect level, so even though he relied on Qin Gui and Zhang Jun to protect his wealth for the time being, who knew if his wealth would last?

Yue Pengju lifted the curtain of the palanquin, and sat down steadily. Yang Yizhong waved his hand, and the palanquin started to move.

As he walked a few steps, he quietly lifted the curtain, and behind him, his wife stumbled as she caught up, crying as she fell on the snow. The wind and snow grew stronger, and very quickly, her hair and figure were turned into a mass of snow-white.

"Sister Shi Qi, I will bear you for the rest of my life.

He tightly clenched his fists. The burning gaze in his eyes almost burnt all of the bones in his body into pieces, melting them … Sister Shi Qi, Little Tiger Head... He had been loyal and loyal for half his life, but now he couldn't even protect his wife and children.

If he had known earlier, what was the use of loyalty? Who should he be loyal to?

If there was a next life, he would have to control his own fate and not be at the mercy of others.

Once Yue Pengju entered the Jail Temple Prison, he was locked in a room by himself. There weren't many criminals here, and those who were able to enter the Jail Temple Prison were all important political criminals. Beside him, Zhang Xian, Yu Peng, Sun Ge and their group had already been tortured and imprisoned. Under this huge psychological shock, Zhang Xian, who was tortured the most, could not hold on any longer and crawled in front of the metal window, wailing loudly: "The heavens do not bless Da Song, the heavens do not bless Da Song …"

He cried out three times in succession before finally fainting due to the unbearable pain of his injuries. Yue Pengju ran to the window and looked at his subordinates that were risking their lives, the intense rage in his heart became more and more sincere, as if he wanted to break out of his brain and continue to break out of this iron window prison.

Yu Peng sighed at the sky and did not say a word.

Yue Pengju stretched out his hand to shake the iron window, and did not say a word.

The official in charge of the trial was called He Zhu. They had heard of Yue Pengju's great name for a long time, and actually held some sympathy in their hearts, their attitude extremely polite, "Yue Xiang Gong, right now, I am accusing you of three crimes. Firstly, I am comparing myself to Taizu, secondly, I am acting under duress. Are you guilty? "

Yue Pengju said in a low voice: "You can tell Qin Gui, and if he wants me to confess, that will also be fine as well. You must first let Zhang Xian and the others go. The day they are free is the day I confess my guilt. "

When He Zhu saw that he could not continue with this "evidence" that could not be relied on anymore, he could not bear to do so. He even secretly took out his own money to improve Yue Pengju and the rest's food.

On the other side of the Jail Temple Prison, there was a special female servant. It was the Princess Tianwei. This was the first woman held captive by the Jail Temple Prison in many years — a fake princess.

Zhao Deji's edict had already been issued. Within three days, he would kill the fake princess at the afternoon market. When the edict was announced, the world was in an uproar. Because the implications of this matter were enormous, many people began to wonder: If it was a fake princess, why couldn't the eunuchs at that time recognize her? When she left the palace, she was already 15 or 16 years old. For such a young girl, there was no way she could have a change in her appearance. Why was it that even the Son of Heaven himself could not recognize his own younger sister?

The commoners talked amongst each other, all of them discussing amongst themselves, the female servants in the palace could no longer sit still, even Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu and the others were all trembling in fear, as though they were just listening to a drum.

However, none of them dared to ask about the Son of Heaven's orders. As long as they wanted to stay in the palace and be doted upon by the Son of Heaven, it was more important to protect themselves. How could he not see his beloved Xiao Liu, who had been kicked around by Zhao Deji until his body turned blue and blue for some reason a few days ago?

At this time, the three Pet Consort s accompanied Zhao Deji to eat. Zhao Deji held his chest, and sighed non-stop: "Sigh, I consider myself magnanimous, why are all these people ingrate? Yue Pengju and his wife have received many favours from us, even though they are rich and powerful, but they still want to go against our wishes. "When Tianwei returned, Zhen treated her even more intimately than the Sister by blood, but she was an impostor …"

His companion was like a tiger accompanying a king. His concubines knew that he was acting, but who would dare disobey him? Witnessing Wan Wan's miserable death and the fact that he was now in Tianwei, Zhang Wu and Yue Yang wanted to ask for forgiveness. However, when their words were about to reach their mouths, they were sternly stopped by Zhao Deji, with the reason that women were not allowed to question political matters. The two of them did not dare speak anymore. Not only that, they had to go against their conscience and praise the Shangguan Family for being wise, for seeing through the fake princess' true appearance and for bringing peace to the palace.

During the continuous rain and snow, the prison was as cold as an icehouse. Cries of agony came from the other side of the room, the sound of eunuchs and palace maids being tortured.

These people were all eunuchs who had served or welcomed her back in the past. With the return of Tianwei, these old people naturally came forward to verify the princess' authenticity. Especially Feng Yi, he had served Tian Wei's mother in the past and was very familiar with her. Thus, when Tian Wei returned, he thought that the rare goods were worth living and was very respectful to her.

There was a thunderbolt on a clear day. Now that Tianwei had become a fake princess, he naturally wouldn't admit it no matter what. He found a lot of evidence to prove that the princess was real. However, the more evidence was found, the more severe the punishment. Zhang Quwei and the others, on the other hand, did not know what to do, nor did they mention anything about him. After Feng Yi was beaten to such a state that his skin and flesh almost split open, suddenly, a good fortune struck his mind. He secretly bribed a Young Eunuch who had come to visit him, to find out what the rumors were about that Shangguan Family.

When he found out the news, he immediately changed his words. At the very beginning of the next interrogation, he kept on kowtowing, "This little one deserves to die a thousand times for my crimes … He deserved to die ten thousand deaths for his crimes... Princess is fake... This little one was greedy for the princess' bribe … He then gave her a fake certificate. This was a fake princess … "Fake princess …"

The moment Feng Yi changed his words, all the palace maids immediately changed their words, identifying themselves as having accepted the "fake princess" 's bribe back then.

The inspecting official was extremely satisfied with the result. He took their confession letter and immediately reported it to Zhao Deji.

Tianwei lay on the mat, unable to enter for three days. In a daze, she listened to the waves of screams coming from next door. Then, as the screams faded, she understood that it was her turn next. In these three days, she did not recognize morning faint, but in her dreams, she saw her own matriarch, or even her own sisters, or Xiao Luwenlong. Vaguely, he thought of Ma Su, that pirate. But, did he still remember someone like him? Tears continued to flow, and in the end, his eyes had swollen to the point where they could no longer be opened.

With a "squeak" sound, the prison door opened and two eunuchs lit up a lantern. In front of them, a jailer was holding two big bowls of dishes, a bottle of wine and a bowl of rice on a tray. Tianwei opened her eyes with difficulty. She was shocked to realize that this was her "last meal". After eating this meal, she would step onto the gates to hell.

jailer shouted: "Eat up!"

She reached out a trembling hand and grabbed the boiling hot rice bowl, but immediately put it down. She picked up the wine jug from the ground, placed it next to her mouth, and drank it all in one go. As soon as the pungent wine entered her throat, she coughed a few times, but her body warmed up a lot.

A person came in silently and everyone left. Only two bright lanterns were left, clearly showing everything in the cell and the person in front of them.

"Tianwei."

She raised her head and looked at him indifferently. In this world, he had no parents and no relatives. The Prince Consort had already been implicated, and his whole family had been demoted to the ranks of the common people. Before he died, no one came to visit him! The person in front of him could not even be considered a "relative" anymore — he was no longer one.

"Tianwei!"

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Deji sat down in front of her and suddenly reached out his hands, rolling up her sleeves and revealing the scar on her wrist. Tianwei! This is the real Tianwei!

He let out a long sigh, "Tianwei, you know that I was forced to do this. Her Majesty insists that you die. "I can't disobey her …"

What was this? Did you speak the truth? But, what was the use of telling the truth?

She indifferently replied, "Your Majesty, this prison is filthy and must not be tainted. Please leave."

He anxiously said, "Tianwei, I didn't want to kill you. "Don't think at all that you're Zhen's only sibling …"

Tianwei stared at him. She wanted to see from his gaze if there was any sincerity in his gaze.

"Tianwei, if you want to live, then follow The elder brother of the nine's instructions …"

"What chance do I have to survive?"

"As long as you persuade Rong Er to follow us and give birth to a prince for us, you will be the one to contribute greatly to our cause. I will take care of you … "Although your identity as a princess is not protected, I will definitely agree to another arrangement so that you can live in seclusion and live a life of wealth and glory …"

Tianwei's swollen eyes started to tear up again. The last hope in her heart was completely gone. He only stared at the person in front of him, The elder brother of the nine, how could this demon be his younger brother?

Zhao Deji actually thought that she was moved, and asked: "Tianwei, have you considered this carefully?"

"I have!" Tian Wei's voice had already slowly turned hoarse. "The Jingkang Cataclysm has ended, the last words of the Taizu's Shangguan Family were announced to the world, and officials and scholars cannot be killed. Your Majesty, do you remember?"

Zhao Deji was extremely unhappy, "So what?"

"Killing the Yue Xiang Gong would violate the oath of the Shangguan Family. If you disobey your ancestors, you will definitely suffer retribution from the heavens. "

Zhao Deji said in a low voice, "Tianwei, you should think about how you can live one more day! How could the lives of others be more valuable than their own? "

Naturally, in his eyes, the lives of everyone in the world could not compare to the lives of Zhao Deji alone. [Life and death will be killed. The sky will be turned around. The rain will be falling. It is the turn of the despicable. Who is his opponent?]
