Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 170

[170. Chapter One Sixty Nine]

This is the prison robe on the security chapter’s body is slightly larger, and the cold wind is pouring in from the cuffs, so cold that it is piercing, and it is numb.

Su Jin looked up to the depths of the palace, where Zhu Nanxian was imprisoned. The Minghua Palace, which was once prosperous in the past, is now in a state of decay, as if a sassy emperor has reached the age of decay in an instant.

Minghua Palace is walking into the water – it seems that the rumors three days ago are true.

The servant pushed open the door of the Ziji Palace, and sang with a long voice line: “The sinner Su Jin brought to–”

The person in the hall suddenly turned around, wearing a black robe and a crown, which made his eyes sharp and cold to kill. The gas of cutting.

This is the real Liu Chaoming. Su Jin thought it was funny, and sighed that when he first saw him, he still thought that there is such a gentleman as jade in the world, and he has never seen him.

What should we call him now? Lord Shoufu? Regent? No, he supported an idiot to be the emperor, and now, he is the real king of the world.

The ambergris on the hall was stained with snow and condensed into mist, making Liu Chaoming unable to see the person kneeling under His Highness.

“Come here.” After a moment of silence, he ordered.

Su Jin didn’t move. Two guards stepped forward and dragged her for a few steps, and two shocking bloodstains were drawn on the ground.

When they got close, Su Jin raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you set the fire in Minghua Palace?”

He didn’t say anything, and Su Jin said again, “You want to burn him to death.”

Liu Chaoming said this . I saw the sad smile on her lips. Once upon a time, Su Shangshu, who was famous in the world and shocked the world, has never been shocked by honor and disgrace.

Liu Chaoming’s heart trembled slightly, but he couldn’t get the taste out of it. After a long time, he said: “You have committed a crime, colluded with the chaotic party of the previous dynasty, and as a woman, you pretended to be a man and entered an official office, deceiving the king, and the crime was extremely heinous. You will be exiled to Ningzhou today, and you will never be able to return.”

Su Jin smiled again: “Aren’t you going to give me death?”

In this life, it’s better to go with the dead.

The prison cart was waiting outside the Meridian Gate. She was in shackles, and every step she took, the sound of a clanging sound resounded in the world.

Liu Chaoming looked at Su Jin’s thin back, and suddenly remembered how he looked when he first saw her. It was the late spring of Jingyuan’s twenty-three years. But as beautiful as the spring sun.

At that time, Liu Chaoming felt that she was like himself, as clear and self-sufficient, and as penetrating as watching fire.

He only wished that he could strangle her at the beginning of his career, just because he was a little bit moved, he let her grow into a towering tree and let her part ways with him.

Now that she has lost her life, she can no longer forgive him.

“Su Jin.” Liu Chaoming said, “The fire in Minghua Palace was set by the first emperor himself.”

Su Jin’s back was stagnant.

Liu Chaoming said lightly: “He is still so stupid, two years ago, he tried his best to grab this emperor, thinking he could save you, but now he has set himself on fire and surrendered this country, thinking that it can change your life.

Su Jin didn’t look back. After a long time, she asked in a hoarse voice, “Why, you want to tell me?” ”

You didn’t ask, why didn’t you die?” Liu Chaoming said, “As Zhu Nanxian wished.” The

prison car ran over The snow road soon disappeared.

Snow fell from the sky again, and the snow particles fell on Liu Chaoming’s shoulders and merged into the cloak, but he stood in the snow for a long time, as if he could not feel the cold.

An elderly servant held up an umbrella for Liu Chaoming and sighed, “Why is this, sir?” He was used to seeing life and death in the palace, and he knew that people in the whirlpool should not be soft-hearted, because taking a step back would be irreversible.

“Master Shang Shu is already dead, but he has thoughts, and he told her like that, I am afraid that she will die and then be born. Master Su is intertwined in the power of the court and the opposition. Stupid, if one day, she can return to Beijing, and the adults, I am afraid that either you will die, or I will live.”

They have known each other for five years, and even the emperor in the palace has changed three rounds like a revolving lantern, so what’s the matter of life and death.

“If she can come back.” Liu Chaoming smiled, “I admit it.”

Liu Chaoming was also staring at her, he was silent for a long time, took back the second half of the unfinished sentence, closed his sleeves and turned to Zhu again. Nan Xian nodded, turned around and left.

Zhu Nanxian raised his hand and ordered the people around to withdraw, and then asked, “Governor Su, did you have something old and committed something that was arrested by the Ministry of Justice?”

Su Jinyuan lowered his eyes and heard the word old, suddenly Eyes raised.

His eyes were burning like fire, Zhu Nanxian was caught by this gaze, and his heart stagnant before he said, “Is this person a death row prisoner you asked for from the Ministry of Justice?”

Su Jin reacted, and it turned out that he said that the Ministry of Justice was on the day of the trouble. Take to death row in Suzaku Lane.

Her eyes dimmed for a moment.

Before she left that day, she glanced at the death row prisoner. Although she didn’t remember what it looked like, she still knew whether it was Chao Qing or not.

Su Jin said: “His Royal Highness does not know, this death row prisoner was actually sent by the Department of Punishment of the Supreme Court, in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, it was reserved as a way of retreat, but unfortunately it came too late and did not come in handy.”

However, Zhu Nan Hearing this, Xian blinked his eyes, but said, “This king has already cross-examined, and this death row prisoner said he knew you.”

Seeing Su Jin looking at himself in surprise, Zhu Nanxian coughed again and straightened up. He straightened his body and said, “Naturally, this king is involved in military affairs, so he didn’t personally question him, but his subordinates said that this death row prisoner even knew

that you were a jinshi and later served as an envoy in Songshan County for two years.” It was a bit unexpected for Su Jin.

Since she returned to the capital in Songshan County, the only people she made friends with were Chao Qing and a few Gong Shi, besides Ying Tian Fu Yamen. Other than that, who else knows her in depth?

Su Jin couldn’t help but ask: “Then Your Highness knows, why does this death row prisoner know me?”

Zhu Nan envied: “He is very clever, he only speaks half of his words, and he doesn’t want to explain anything else, so he just makes fun of himself.”

Su Jinyi Leng, a condemned death row?

However, Liu Chaoming brought him out of the Ministry of Punishment, clearly because of his death penalty.

Su Jin thought of this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If it is used as an example to kill a hundred people, then the government must kill people in front of all the officials. Although it can temporarily control the scene, it will eventually lead to public resentment, and it will be more difficult to end it afterwards.

Liu Chaoming’s original intention when he came to the capital’s yamen was to make the case smaller. If there was a murder case, wouldn’t it go against his original intention and shoot himself in the foot?

If it wasn’t for the troublesome official, what was the purpose of Liu Chaoming’s nomination of a death row prisoner from the Ministry of Punishment?

Su Jin asked, “Does your lord know what the death row was doing?”

Zhu Nanxian said, “I can’t break his mouth.”

Su Jin recalled carefully, that day, Liu Chaoming had only one sentence from beginning to end – I will bring it up from the Ministry of Punishment. A death row for you.

for her?

Thinking of this, Su Jin couldn’t help but ask: “His Thirteenth Highness, where is the death row now? Has he been executed?”

Zhu Nanxian had just laid a lot of groundwork, and it was here that he was waiting for Su Jin.

It is true that he personally tried this death row prisoner, but he didn’t coerce him, and he didn’t use the punishment.

Su Jin was seriously injured that day, and he was really worried in his heart. He wanted to go to the capital’s yamen to visit the doctor in person, but the general manager of the palace tried his best to stop him, saying that his dignified highness would visit him in a condescending manner. An eighth-rank junior official, not only will he startle all the officials in the yamen, but Governor Su will not be able to recuperate at ease in the future.

Zhu Nanxian thought about it, and thought it was true. After he was dug out from the death row prisoner’s mouth, he was Su Jin’s “old past”, and the other side told people to put the death row prisoner in Bieyuan. Chengriba looked at Su Jin. Jinneng came to lead people.

It’s a pity that there are no figures left and right, I really can’t help it.

Zhu Nanxian has arranged these many days, and he has managed his emotions very well, as if inadvertently: “Oh, the Ministry of Punishment did not know what to do, and handed the death row over to this king, and this king had to reluctantly and put people in the palace. For

a while, he glanced at Su Jin’s face from the corner of his eye, and asked knowingly, “Why, Governor Su wants to see him? Then the king ordered his subordinates to pick up Governor Su from the yamen tomorrow morning?

” Give you”.

What is a death row prisoner doing to her, what she is most worried about at the moment is Chao Qing’s trace.

Entering the palace today, Yan Ziyan burned not only the strategy, but also the kindness she had given to protecting Yan Ziqi that day.

Even though the grievances ended, she refused to let her trace Chao Qing’s whereabouts from Yan Ziqi.

Su Jin also felt that she was a soldier, but all of a sudden, she couldn’t help but pin her hopes on Liu Chaoming, hoping that this death row prisoner of unknown origin might have something to do with Chao Qing’s disappearance, otherwise, how could she “give it to her”?

No longer wishing to have more dreams at night, Su Jin said to Zhu Nan envy, “If Your Highness is free, can I ask the lower official to meet this person tonight?” He went

to the palace.

The head of the house, Zheng Yun, was already waiting at the door. Seeing Su Jin who was following behind Zhu Nanxian, he was overjoyed for a while. Instead of greeting His Highness, he said, “Governor Su is here.”

Su Jin thought to himself, what is “reckonable”.

Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Zheng Yun said again: “The governor doesn’t know anything, His Highness has ordered the young to wait here for a few days, and the governor must come, the young is looking forward to the day and night, and only then will you be sent to me. Looking forward to it.”

Zheng Yun’s original intention was to say a good word for his highness, but when he said this, Zhu Nanxian stumbled, turned his head, and gave him a faint look.

Zhu Nanxian invited Su Jin to Nanyuan, changed the robes that bound his hands and feet, and ordered his servants to bring the condemned prisoner.

In the early summer, the bright moon was in the sky, a pond of new lotus was clustered together, and the lotus seed and lily soup was popular nowadays, and Zheng Yunzhu also presented a bowl to Su Jin.

Not long after, the death row prisoner was brought in.

The person came with a raw face, coarse cloth and short clothes, five and three thick. He first probed and asked Zheng Yun, “Which one do you want to see?” Hearing that it was Su Jin, his whole body jolted, and he knelt down for her with a plop.

However, he said that this person’s name was Zhang Kui, who used to be a clerk of the capital’s yamen.

He and Su Jin didn’t actually know each other, but before he resigned, the yamen said that there was a governor surnamed Su who was going to be transferred from Songshan County.
