Late Tang

Chapter 10 The Emperor's Edict Arrives

The cell door opened with a bang, and a ray of autumn sun shone on Li Jing's face, the dazzling sunlight pierced him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.He couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his face, and it took him a while to get used to the bright world outside the dungeon.

Li Jing had only been in prison for less than half a month, but Li Jing had lost a lot of weight.Not only was the clothes on his body dirty and old, but his face was extremely pale, with sunken eye sockets, black eye bags, red bloodshot eyes, and a black beard growing on his chin.

This is not only caused by the harsh conditions in the prison, but also because of the psychological pressure, but it is more due to the preservation of seeds.

That night, Li Jing drank the heirloom tiger penis wine from the blacksmith's family that Wan'er brought into the prison, and he and Wan'er tossed and tossed for a long time before they stopped.Originally thought that this absurd thing was over, but did not expect that just after Wan'er went out, another familiar but somewhat strange woman came in again.That is the third sister of Wang Liang, the neighbor who grew up with Li Jing as a childhood sweetheart. She said she was familiar and unfamiliar because the current Li Jing remembered that she was very familiar with Mrs. Wang of the Wang family, but in fact he had never seen her.

Li Jing still didn't know that the Wang family proposed marriage to the Li family after he was imprisoned, and not only the marriage between Wang Liang and the fourth sister was settled, but also the marriage between him and the third young lady.The Han family asked Wan'er to leave seeds for the Li family, and this matter was also known by the third young lady Wang Guiniang.So she suggested that this matter should be done by her. The Queen Mother is a traditional woman, and she thinks that since her daughter has already made a marriage with Li Jing, she should be considered as Li's family.This matter is also reasonable, but Wang Liang is not willing.Earlier, he agreed to bring up his sister's marriage again in order to get engaged with Wanjing smoothly. Now that their marriage has been settled, now that Li Jing is exiled, the Wang family can just have a chance to cancel the younger sister's marriage.

It's just that Wang Guiniang was extremely resolute, and in the end she almost got into a fight to the point of being hanged and jumped into a well, but Wang Liang had no choice but to stop worrying about this matter and let her go.After Wan'er left, Wang Guiniang went into Li Jing's prison again, like a sea of ​​bubbles.Li Jing really wanted to refuse, but the medicinal wine was really powerful at that time, and he was a little out of control.

One night, the sperm was collected by two women and the seeds were kept, and they tossed for almost a night.

The next night, Li Jing, who had just regained some vitality, saw two women again, this time first Wang Guiniang and then Wan'er.This time, Li Jing felt a bit broken, perhaps because he knew that he might not be alive for a few days after leaving this time, Li Jing and these two nominal wives and concubines had a good time.

For two nights in a row, the two women took turns saving seeds to do their homework, and almost dried up Li Jing.When stepping out of the prison door, it seemed like a different person from before entering.

"Put on the shackle!" A soldier with a horizontal knife stepped forward and shouted, and immediately two jailers stepped forward to put the seven-jin wooden shackle on Li Jing's neck.He took out another pair of handshackles and ankle shackles and put them on Li Jing's hands and feet. With this full set of equipment, Shang Jing couldn't help but bend slightly under pressure.

"I'm going on the road soon. If you want to say anything to your family, hurry up and give you half an hour." Although the army leader looks fierce, he is a good person.

Escorted by the head of the army and two guards, Li Jing walked out of the prison courtyard wall and arrived at the door.There, from a distance, I saw the Han family in a coarse cloth skirt and two sisters-in-law and sisters. There were also several uncles and brothers who lived in other villages. People from all over the country also came to see him off.

Li Jing stepped forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Han: "Aniang, the child is not filial, so I can no longer serve at your knees. From now on, you must take care of your health."

Han's tears could not be stopped, she held Li Jing's face and said: "Son..." Before she could finish her sentence, she was already choked and speechless, unable to cry.

The whole family stepped forward one after another, expressing their respect for each other.

When it was Wan'er and Gui Niang's turn, the two girls, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, had already changed the buns on their heads into buns for married women.Gui Niang combed a falling horse bun, while Wan'er combed her hair in a bun that was first gathered at the top, and then the blood was coiled on top of it.She was originally a young girl, but in the blink of an eye she has become a young woman.

"Lang Jun." The two women almost spoke in unison.

Looking at the two of them, Li Jing felt mixed emotions, these two were already his wives and concubines.But in fact, he didn't really have any feelings about love for these two people.Good luck tricks people, once they leave, these two people don't know how to live in the future.He couldn't help but think of the two widows. Could it be that the Li family will add two more widows?

Lifting his shackled hands, Li Jing gently wiped away the tears on their faces.

"I'm sorry, I have failed you. In the future, if there is a suitable person, go with it."

"How can Mr. Lang hurt my sister's heart by saying such words? Although you and I have not yet been married by a matchmaker, we have already invited a matchmaker to make a marriage. What's more, we already have the reality of husband and wife. How can Mr. You can say such things to humiliate our sisters. Please rest assured, sir, from now on, no matter whether it is Wan'er's sister who gives birth to the Li family's heir or the slave's husband's child, we will take care of the children and bring them up." Wang Guiniang said very solemnly.

Li Jing sighed in his heart, although the spring breeze was a few times, how could it be so easy to conceive a child?

They were speechless for a while, but Wang Liang came in front of them.

"Sanlang, should I call you brother-in-law or brother-in-law?"

Li Jing stared directly at Wang Liang, but Wang Liang couldn't dodge his eyes but looked directly at him.

Just at this moment, Li Jing had already determined that Wang Liang was behind the disaster for his disaster. Even if he was not the mastermind, he was definitely the role behind it. "You two go back, Erlang and I still have a few words to say."

After Wan'er and Gui Niang left, Li Jing stared at Wang Liang coldly: "Wang Liang, aren't you afraid of being sent by heaven?"

"What did you say?" Wang Liang said with a guilty conscience, but pretended to be calm.

"You still don't know what I said? Don't worry, I won't expose your ugly face here. I only have one thing to say to you today, don't do anything to be a human being, and be careful of retribution. Sometimes it's not that you don't repay, it's just time Not yet. If you do too many bad things, there will always be a day of retribution."

"Thank you for your concern." Wang Liang half turned his head and neck, not daring to look directly at Li Jing.

"I don't care about you, it's just that my fourth sister is going to marry you now, and I don't want her to lose her husband one day when she's young. Wang Liang, tell me the truth here, why are you doing this? Is it worth it?"

Wang Liang was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Jing, and said angrily, "Why? You still ask me why? It's all because your Li family is unkind first, so don't blame me, Wang Liang, for being unrighteous later. At the beginning, if your father hadn’t taken my father to go to the east of Zhejiang, how could he have died in the rebellion? Later, your elder brother was the head of the grain transporter in our village. In the end, your elder brother took more than 50 people from our village All the food transportation teams in the country have been taken to the hands of the thieves, and none of them can come back. Also, why do you refuse to accept Guiniang? You have wasted her wonderful spring and made her suffer so much. In addition, I came to your house to propose marriage , but what about your family, knowing that no one can afford food now, but you still insist on asking me for two stones of food as a bride price, tell me, is your family's cooking authentic?"

"Is that all? You want my life because of these?" Li Jing said coldly.

Wang Liang's eyes were full of anger, and he approached Li Jing and said in a low voice: "Now that things have come to an end, I might as well tell you the truth, it is indeed because of these. I am not afraid to tell you, it is because I offered a plan to Zhang Kuguan to arrest you It is possible to confiscate your family's [-] mu of land, and you will come to where you are today. Originally, your family's land also fell into the hands of Zhang Kuguan, who wanted to let you go. But, I asked He persuaded you, and then changed your sentence to exile for three thousand miles. How about it, do you hate me?"

"Sixty acres of land? Didn't Zhang Kuguan extort one hundred acres of land?"

"Hehe, to be honest, Zhang Kuguan only got [-] acres of land. In addition, the [-] acres of land that Wang Blacksmith and my family gave to your family actually fell into my hands. I dug a hole and buried you. Your family But you still have to marry the fourth sister to me, and you have to thank me for the rest of your life, hahaha, how about it, didn't you expect it?"

"Beasts are worse, you actually pushed your sister into the fire pit."

"That girl, she is born with a dead brain. I can see through it. She really wants you not to marry her in this life. If that's the case, I'm just helping her."

Li Jing thought that the person who would harm him would be Wang Liang, but he never thought that this kid would be so shameless.

"If you say this now, aren't you afraid that I will say it all in front of so many people?"

Wang Liang smiled coldly: "Since I dare to say it, of course I'm not afraid. Do you think you'll have a chance to say this again? After I've said these few words to you, the guards will escort you on the road immediately. Let me tell you, not far from the town, it is said that a gang of bandits has come recently, and they are committing all sorts of murders and robberies. Hehe, you understand."

Li Jing's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Liang to be so vicious, he was still not at ease even in exile for three thousand miles, and he wanted to pretend to be a bandit outside the city to kill himself.

"you..."

"Call it, do you think that if you yell, someone will believe you? You should think about it carefully, if you yell, the safety of the women in your family will be in danger." Wang Liang's eyes revealed madness.

Li Jing was silent, yes, so what if he yelled?This Wang Liang has already colluded with Zhang Kuguan. Zhang Kuguan knocked [-] mu of their family's land in this matter, and he will definitely not stand by him.What he faced was not some good people, but a group of soldiers, rogues and hooligans.

Forget it, let's think of another way, let's find another chance to escape when we are on the road.

"The prisoner is on his way!" the officer shouted, and the two officers came over to urge Li Jing to go on the road.

Suddenly there was a rapid rumble of horseshoes hitting the ground in the distance, and a knight galloped into the town.

Just as Li Jing and the others were about to set off, they suddenly saw the knight leaving and returning, beside him were General Cui Zhen, Wang Tuiguan and other town officers and civilians.

"Emperor's decree, amnesty for the world!"
