Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 41 Prison words, right or wrong!
No need to be greeted by the cell boss, the group of them immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as they arrived.

Immediately, everyone who was shivering in the corner just now shouted and begged for mercy.

"My lord! My lord! I was wronged by this official? Didn't this official collude with Chen, Wang, Sun and Li's four families, this official didn't! This official was wronged!"

"My lord! There is still an eighty-year-old mother at home, and a baby who is waiting to be fed. My lord, please spare me!"

"My lord is merciful! My lord is merciful!"

All of a sudden, the entire dungeon was full of noise, and a kind of yamen officials locked in the prison begged for mercy and complained.

Some of them just quietly shrank in place without any reaction.

In addition to the three Patriarchs of Chen Wangsun who had accepted their fate, the other two who did not move were the county magistrate Liu Xishan and the defense envoy Cheng Cheng.

Although Liu Xishan's complexion was pale, he was also somewhat relieved, quietly looking through the skylight of the dungeon, staring at the wisps of sunlight coming in from outside, dazed.

Cheng Cheng, with his back straight, sat cross-legged in a corner of the cell, motionless. Even when Zhao Jun and his party arrived, they did not open their eyes. They still sat cross-legged quietly, as if they could not hear any sound from the outside world.

The three patriarchs didn't mention it, but Zhao Jun was a little curious about the state of the two, so he asked the prison chief to open the exclusive cell for the two of them, and walked in slowly.

The first one to enter was Liu Xishan's cell.

Zhao Jun came to him slowly, followed his gaze to see the ray of sunlight coming in from the skylight, and suddenly asked, "Is it beautiful?"

"Beautiful, why isn't it beautiful? There is probably nothing more beautiful in this world."

Liu Xishan showed a smile and replied lightly.

"Yes, after all, it is the light of freedom, so how can it not be beautiful?

But, you didn't appreciate it when you had it. "

Liu Xishan closed his eyes slightly, put his hands under the light, felt the warmth conveyed by the light, and murmured:

"It's not that I don't want to cherish him, it's that I have no chance to choose!
My lord, you were born to be noble, there are too few things in this world that you can't help yourself to, but for us children of commoner background, every step we take will add another layer of shackles.

Xiaguan has been smart since he was a child. He has been enlightened since he was four years old, but he has passed the child's entrance examination when he was only nine years old, and became the local case leader.

After that, he stood up when he was not there, and passed three passes in a row as a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi!
Although he only got a background as a Jinshi, but in the whole Song Dynasty, the reputation of being an official is considered top-notch!

However, day after day and year after year, watching those students who took the imperial examinations in the same period one by one fulfill their positions and take charge of the government, even many of the candidates in the same period got official positions, but what about me?
Still doing nothing all day long, waiting for the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, waiting for their so-called official positions to be vacant and good substitutes!
Why?Why are all the candidates on the bench, but not me, a fellow Jinshi?

I didn't understand at first, but later I understood, because I'm from a poor family!

No!I don't even belong to a poor family, I'm just a mud leg, although I'm a fellow Jinshi, but in the eyes of those who were born in the eunuch family, I'm still just the lowest mud leg, no backer, no background, I can only let others Take it easy! "

Speaking of this, Liu Xishan took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily, as if he wanted to let out the depression in his chest.

Then he slowed down and continued: "Then I compromised, I learned to be smart, and I understood... what is called sophistication.

I bought a gift with the only money left on my body and gave it to a classmate with a background, asking him to point out a way.

Then I got news that the four companies wanted to support a spokesperson in Yunzhou City.

I approached four companies and made promises, and it paid off.

Soon I received news from the Ministry of Officials that there was a vacancy in Nanyang, and I got the chance to be a substitute.

I stayed in Nanyang for five years, relying on the support provided by the four families in these five years, I was promoted all the way, and soon became the county captain of Nanyang.

Three years ago, the four families contacted me and asked me to transfer back to Yunzhou County. According to the rules of the court, the officials who were transferred to Yunzhou County were automatically promoted to a higher level and I became the county magistrate.

Afterwards, I became the spokesperson of the four families, mentioning that they controlled the entire Yunzhou County Yamen, and became their running dog!
My lord, tell me, am I right or wrong? "

Zhao Jun did not speak, and Liu Xishan did not expect an answer.

Continued as if self-serving: "This is the way this world is. You are nothing when you are born. If you want to get it the day after tomorrow, you have to pay something. I paid for my freedom and myself, and got the position I want, then I will You must accept the possible consequences of this incident.

I have known for a long time that such a day will come sooner or later, but I just didn't expect it to come so early.

But, I don't regret it!

If I don't choose this way, I will still be just a nerd waiting in the capital for a replacement, until my hair turns gray, until I wait desperately, until I spend my whole life in vain.

Although the current ending is not good, at least I have not lived in vain in this life. I have at least got what I want, so it is already very good. "

Liu Xishan's voice gradually dropped, without looking at Zhao Jun again, he turned his head and returned to the dark corner of the prison, curled up silently and ignored anyone.

Zhao Jun stood quietly and looked at him, stretched out his hand for a while and put it into the ray of light, took it away and stretched it in again.

Indeed, the inside of the light is indeed much warmer than other places. To be able to experience the warmth of this light once, even if it is only for a while, is probably already very good for most people...

However, since a choice has been made, the consequences of the choice must also be unavoidable.

Zhao Jun turned around and walked out of the cell.

The heavy chains were tightened again, and the prison door was locked again.

pat!pat!
Whoa!
The second cell was opened.

Zhao Jun slowly came to Cheng Cheng's cell, and stood quietly in front of Cheng Cheng.

After a long time, Cheng Cheng, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Jun who was quietly looking at him in front of him, and said doubtfully:

"Is there nothing you want to ask, my lord?"

"Is it necessary? Does it make sense?"

Zhao Jun made a faint sound.

Cheng Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

The straight back bent down, and he leaned back against the cell wall, laughing at himself, "Yeah, it's unnecessary, it's meaningless."

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Even if this king asks, you will definitely say the same thing as Liu Xishan, tell your own difficulties, and say how forced you are to come to this point.

However, none of this changes the fact.

You have betrayed the court!Betrayed Da Song!
No matter how many difficulties and reasons you have, your actions have caused harm to the people of Song Dynasty!
How many alien races have been supported by the materials sold by your hands?

How many aliens have been armed?

And the people of Song Dynasty who died at the hands of these alien races, aren't they pitiful?

Are they not innocent?
They deserve to die, do they deserve to be slaughtered by aliens?

These are all mistakes you made. Since you resold those supplies, you are no longer innocent. Your hands have already been stained with the blood of those innocent people.

You -- unforgivable sin! "
