Chapter 387: Shock
How can anyone be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Emperors have been suspicious of this kind of disease since ancient times. In order to sleep soundly, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, set up a special agency to monitor all officials and subjects in the world - Jinyiwei. It was in charge of prisons and was given the power of inspection and arrest. It also established a town and fusi division to carry out tasks. Activities such as reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation. When successive Ming emperors inherited the mantle of Emperor Yuanzhang, they also inherited the secret service agency Jinyiwei, making it an independent department beyond the judicial organs.
Jinyiwei is a department that scares the world, and the Jinyiwei Prison is even more frightening. It can stop babies from crying late at night.
At this moment, Shen Lian is in the Jinyiwei Prison. Because Emperor Jiajing said "Choose a day to be punished", Shen Lian was sentenced to death row. Even with the protection of Jinyiwei boss Lu Bing, Shen Lian could not be avoided. The treatment of being thrown on death row.
The Jinyiwei Death Cell is separated from other prisons and is fortified in layers. The outermost perimeter is an iron mesh made of thick wire. Birds cannot fly. There are also bells hanging on the mesh. The bells will sound a warning if there is any disturbance.
The door of the death cell has two layers. The outermost layer is made of copper and iron. There is also an ancient beast carved on it, with a green face and shackled teeth, which is terrifying. Bifan looks like a tiger's head at first glance, so people also call Jinyiwei Death Prison Jinyihu Prison.
The second-story door of Jinyih Lao is 3 meters away from the first-floor door, which almost means that the wall of Jinyih Lao is nearly three meters wide! The walls of the Tiger Prison are very technically cast. The three-meter-wide wall is made of mezzanines, and the middle is filled with sand. If Shawshank in the movie Shawshank Redemption was imprisoned in the Tiger Prison, then he would never be redeemed. !
Digging holes in walls?
Haha, the quicksand in the mezzanine of Jinyi Hulao will bury you to death!
The light in the Jinyi Tiger Prison was dark, and it was probably underground. Because of Lu Bing's care, Shen Lian was locked up in a cell with the best environment in the death row, and only two beams of sunlight came in obliquely.
Death row, death row, get in alive, get out dead. The prisoners imprisoned in Jinyiwei's death cell all looked ashen, their eyes were dull, and they were lifeless.
Except for one person, Shen Lian, who just came in.
In the dim light, Shen Lian lay on the ground paved with moldy straw. Even though his buttocks were raw and fleshy, Shen Lian was still smiling.
"Chunfu. Why bother." Lu Bing sat on the dirt-covered stool in the cell, looking at the embarrassed Shen Lian, and sighed quietly.
"Since ancient times, all evils have been eradicated without bloodshed. Nowadays, the country's thieves are in power, blinding the saints, and the people are in dire straits. There is no one who has shed blood and died because of the eradication of the thieves. The thieves have not been eliminated. Ye. Since ancient times, all thieves have shed blood, so please start with Shen Lian.”
Shen Lian’s forehead is bleeding, his hair is messy, and his buttocks are bruised, but at this moment, he looks righteous and fearless.
"You can keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. Why can't you figure it out, Chunfu?" Lu Bing shook his head and said with a heavy expression, "Yan Song and his son have deep-rooted control over Chao Gang. You are making a unnecessary sacrifice." ."
"What is meaningless, my blood? It will definitely alert those who are interested. It is true that compared with Song Thief, I, Shen Lian, is just an ant. However, even though the embankment of thousands of miles is broken in the ant nest, Song Thief and his son are deeply rooted but they cannot stop the vast number of ants."
" Today I, Shen Lian, will be the first ant to break the embankment!”
Shen Lian's expression remained unchanged and he looked down upon death. Even though he knew that he had been sentenced to death by the emperor, he was still beaming and salivating when he said these words! Not at all like a dying person.
"Death is easy, but has Chunfu ever thought about what will happen to your wife, children, and parents if you die?" Lu Bing looked at Shen Lian who was looking forward to death, shook his head, and pointed out the places that Shen Lian ignored. out.
Shen Lian is someone Lu Bing values very much. Whether it is character or ability, Lu Bing appreciates it very much. Although he is a superior, he is also a confidant. Now that Shen Lian was like this, Lu Bing felt extremely complicated. He didn't want to watch Shen Lian walk into the hell of death. Even if it was a straw, Lu Bing wanted to throw it down and pull Shen Lian out of hell.
However, although Lu Bing was the commander of the Imperial Guards, he was still wary of Yan Song, who was favored by the Holy Family, and was somewhat powerless.
Thinking of persuading Shen Lian, if Shen Lian is willing to bow his head, there may be a glimmer of hope.
Lu Bing, who has served as a royal guard for decades, has an insight into people's hearts and knows that there are also weaknesses in the hearts of strong people, among which parents, wives and children are the weaknesses of most people.
This time, Lu Bing used his parents, wife and children not to threaten, but to save people.
This is the only exception in Lu Bing's career.
Sure enough
Shen Lian, who had always been calm and calm, looking forward to death, after hearing Lu Bing's question, his expression became looser, like a crack in the glass.
"Hey, I'm sorry for them!" Shen Lian sighed and shook his head, a layer of mist appeared in the eyes of the stone-like man.
Lu Bing saw that there was something going on, and was about to continue his efforts, but he heard Shen Lian continue to say, "Family, country, world, personal love between children, which one is more important? Although Shen Lian is not a tree, he can only He cruelly failed his wife and children."
"Chunfu." Lu Bing couldn't help but speak again.
"My lord, please stop trying to persuade Shen Lian. I have made up my mind, and I ask your lord to take care of my wife and children for Shen's sake." Shen Lian bowed to Lu Bing with difficulty. Hand in hand, please.
"Oh, Chunfu, don't worry. As long as I, Lu Bing, are here, no one will hurt them." Lu Bing nodded with a heavy face and promised Shen Lian.
"That makes me feel relieved." Shen Lian smiled, seemingly letting go of the burden in his heart.
"Chunfu, think about it again. You won't have to worry about running out of firewood to keep the green hills. You are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Lu Bing still couldn't bear it.
"I can wait, but the Ming Dynasty cannot wait, and the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot wait!" Shen Lian shook his head firmly.
"You" Lu Bing is bitter.
"It's just a pity that I, Shen Lian, can't see the day when Thief Song falls. Hey, after I die, I would like to ask you to turn my head towards Jin Luan. I can't look at it while alive, but I will definitely look at it after I die. The downfall of the thief Song! ”
Shen Lian sighed, and then expressed his wish to Lu Bing.
Lu Bing felt very complicated at the moment. This was a confidant that he admired very much and a rare confidant, but he was so powerless!
Nothing can be done!
Seeing Shen Lian returning home, Lu Bing's heart was as sharp as a knife.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the death row, and someone came in.
"How presumptuous, didn't I say that there is no self-order and no one is allowed to disturb you?" Lu Bing was unhappy at first, but now he was even more angry when he heard the footsteps, and he was ready to direct all his irritability at this unknown person. On the sensible subordinates.
"Sir, please calm down." A guard wearing a flying fish uniform came over with an apology and knelt down to salute Lu Bing.
“There is news from the palace that Your Majesty has issued a decree.” Jin Yiwei knelt on the ground and reported back to Lu Bing.
Draw up the purpose!
Aren’t you talking about choosing a day for canonical punishment? Why did you draft an edict to be executed so quickly? ! Lu Bing was a little stunned.
"Don't worry, sir. The sooner the blood bleeds, the sooner the world will be alerted. Come on, come on!" Shen Lian remained as calm as ever and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty has issued a decree to assign Master Shen and banish him as a security guard." The Jin Yiwei knelt on the ground and spoke out the news in one breath.
Huh?
What?
Lu Bing was even more stunned.
Shen Lian, who regarded death as home and welcomed death, showed an expression of astonishment for the first time.
"Say it again!" Lu Bing didn't believe it and asked the Jin Yiwei to say what he just said again.
"Your Majesty has issued a decree to assign Master Shen and banish him as a security guard!" Jin Yiwei repeated it again.
Surprise, then surprise! Lu Bing looked at Shen Lian and laughed.
Actually, it was not just Lu Bing who was surprised and stunned. When the Yan party members who had just returned to Yan Mansion to celebrate were drinking heavily, they were no less surprised than Lu Bing when they heard the news. !
Shen Lian was originally going to be executed, but why was he relegated to a security guard instead?
Yan Song was a little worried and immediately ordered Yan Shifan to send someone to find out the news and see why His Majesty changed his mind. (End of this chapter)
