The prison in Chuzhou is famously large. The "big" does not refer to how large the prison covers, but to the fact that there are too many prisoners in it. It is located on the border between the two countries, which is inherently uneasy.

Passing through the Huaihe River, there was a large concentration of merchants, so banditry among refugees became rampant.

When Li Yuan and Wang Jingyao rushed to the gate of the prison without stopping, they happened to bump into several jailers escorting several newly arrived prisoners, cursing and walking past. He Jingzhu must have just given the order, and Li Yuan showed his badge, and the two of them

He was greeted respectfully by a group of jailers and minor officials.

After walking for a while, Li Yuan heard a very magnetic and thick voice coming from behind him.

"Li Yuhou?"

When I turned around, I saw that the person was holding a document in one hand and a pen in the other. It looked like he had just come out of a cell after questioning a prisoner. However, his clothes were different from those of the jailers. He was wearing a green official robe and was smart and slim.

His long face, dull hair and beard, and his full literati appearance.

Li Yuan said with some doubts: "Do you know me?"

The man just smiled faintly, then pointed at Li Yuan and said, "How many young men in the Tang Kingdom are there wearing purple robes given by the emperor?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a while, then shook his head and pretended to be mysterious: "Can you tell me which founder of the country I am the heir of?"

And this person looked indifferent, and pointed to the timid Wang Jingyao next to Li Yuan: "If they are those dandy boys, there must be a large number of guards accompanying them. Is it possible that this young lady also has extraordinary skills?"

This person is quite interesting! Li Yuan didn't know the origin of this person, so he had to follow his words and said: "To tell you the truth, when I went to Chuzhou this time, I also brought a battalion of forbidden troops -"

"I'm afraid they are all outside the city, right? I have to say that Li Yuhou handled things carefully, which not only avoids false accusations, but also shocks people's hearts!"

Li Yuan was a little surprised in his heart. These things were clearly said by him in the governor's office. He looked like a seventh-grade official at most, and he had never seen him before. How did he know this? He quickly asked: "Excuse me, Mr.

, What’s your surname?”

The man looked neither humble nor arrogant, and he repeatedly raised his hands and said: "Sir, I don't dare to take this position. I am just an assistant official in a small state. I am a member of the judicial army, Xu Kuangheng. I just made a bold guess. Please forgive me for being disrespectful!"

"Mr. Xu doesn't have to be like this!" Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this man seemed to be kind to him, otherwise it would not be a good thing for him to know his thoughts so accurately...

Then Li Yuan glanced at Xu Kuangheng a few more times, then turned around, and Wang Jingyao continued to follow the jailer. Passing by rows of cold iron bars, he saw the sluggish prisoners one by one. In the dark prison, the whole process was extremely depressed. And that

Xu Kuangheng didn't know why, but he kept following closely behind him, but Li Yuan never stopped him.

"Jingguo! Jingguo!" After all, they were connected by blood. As soon as he stopped in front of a cell, Wang Jingyao recognized at a glance that the person imprisoned behind the iron bars was none other than his brother Wang Jingguo, whom he had been thinking about for many days.

Li Yuan looked at it for a while, and saw that the young man in front of him had hair as messy as weeds, and his prison uniform was also a little torn. It was inevitable that he would be beaten after being imprisoned. He had a yellow and white thin face, but he looked quite good. At this time, the young man

The eyes that were originally dull suddenly became brighter and moistened the moment they saw Wang Jingyao.

Seeing her younger brother in such a miserable state, Wang Jingyao clutched the cold iron bars tightly and cried bitterly: "Jingguo, sister is here! It's useless for me to teach you to suffer here..."

Li Yuan watched quietly from the side and sighed. He originally couldn't bear to disturb the reunion of his siblings, but time was really pressing and human lives were at stake. If he came here just to cry, it would be meaningless.

So after a while, Li Yuan gently helped Wang Jingyao up and said gently: "Sister Yao, please rest for a while. I'll talk to him first."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jingguo, who was behind the iron fence, got the strength from nowhere and shouted loudly: "Where did you come from? Are you a disciple?! You still won't let me go?"

This sound made the mice in the corner of the cell squeak in shock... Li Yuan was very calm, smiled softly, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Hey? He's not very young, but he has quite a temper!"

Wang Jingyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly advised: "Jingguo must not be rude, Brother Yuan is here to help you!"

But Wang Jingguo just stared at Li Yuan with an expression of gritted teeth: "Sister, please don't let others deceive you! I have been sentenced to death, how can he help me? On the contrary, this person has evil intentions, sister, please don't do it.

Confused!"

Li Yuan felt angry and funny in his heart. He looked at Wang Jingyao next to him and thought of everything she had encountered in recent days. He gradually sneered: "Haha, who was deceived? Not to mention such a big lawsuit, but also to implicate you.

Sister home!"

Wang Jingguo said loudly with an awe-inspiring look on his face: "Nonsense! Who said I was deceived? I am an upright man. Since I was captured by mistake, I will admit it! Not to mention my sister will not be harmed!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly, you are stupid, aren't you? Why are you so childish and you take the blame? And you keep saying that you won't implicate your sister, who was almost killed by you!

Thinking of poor Wang Jingyao, Li Yuan couldn't help it, and then said nicely: "Did you know that your sister -"

"Brother Yuan..."

His words were interrupted, and he turned his head to see Wang Jingyao biting her lips and looking at him pleadingly.

Li Yuan naturally understood her intention, so he took a deep breath and asked again: "Wang Jingguo, let me ask you, just now you said that you were captured by mistake, did you know that what you were transporting was private salt?"

"I know it."

Li Yuan had a headache. This guy is so honest. If this doesn't convict you, who will be condemned?

"According to Tang law, selling smuggled salt is a felony, did you know?"

Wang Jingguo sat down on the ground with a "pop" sound, raising some dust, raised his head and said with emotion: "Isn't it just death? I'm not afraid! So what if you know it, and what if you don't know it?"

Suppressing his restless heart, Li Yuan continued to ask patiently: "Let me ask you again, you are only fourteen years old, you definitely did not get these private relationships! Where did they come from? And who ordered you to escort them?

As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely be able to help you."

But the young man spat on the ground, stared at Li Yuan fiercely and said, "Don't even think about trying to trick me! Come out and make a living with your righteousness first! I tell you, this matter has nothing to do with others. These salts are mine. As for the escort,

Of course I am selling it for money! Do you care?"

Li Yuan's blood pressure instantly soared, and he couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "I'm so damn...boy, if I hadn't looked at your sister's face, I wouldn't be able to tolerate such an unfaithful, unfilial, ruthless and unjust person like you."

I won’t even look at you!”

Wang Jingguo was not to be outdone, and the rebellious young man even rolled up his torn sleeves and said loudly: "Where does it come from that he is unfaithful, unfilial, ruthless and unjust? Don't throw dirty water on me! Do you believe me or not -

—”

Li Yuan shook his numb head and laughed at himself. How could he lose his temper with such an ignorant child? If this boy were born in the future, he would probably have to live in a juvenile detention center for a few months...

So he glanced at me coldly and said with a look of disdain: "What are you doing? Are you still going to hit me? Can you come out?"

Wang Jingguo roared: "If you dare, come in!"

Li Yuan grinned and said coquettishly: "Come out if you dare! You can't come out, right? Are you angry? Little bastard, I am the Marquis of Yu, the direct capital of His Majesty's palace. I have seen a lot of flesh and blood on the battlefield.

!If I really fight with you, believe it or not, I will tear your bones apart to see how hard they are?"

After saying that, he unbuttoned the round collar and patted the sword on his waist. Li Yuan was tall and tall, so the young man swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back, regained his serious expression, pointed at Wang Jingguo and said with a sullen face: "I tell you, what is disloyalty, unfilial piety, ruthlessness and unrighteousness! You are disloyal to the imperial court by selling private salt!"

You are in jail, and you are unfilial to your parents, who are in heaven! Your sister has scattered all her family property and ran around for you, and she is frightened day and night, and even almost lost her virginity! You are still so stubborn, isn't this heartless?

Also, do you think you are showing loyalty by taking all the blame on yourself? Bah! You are a fool who helped others pay for the crime after being sold! You were just a transporter, not the mastermind, and your crime is not worthy of death. I never thought you would be killed.

What kind of ecstasy soup has been poured into you? You must protect the person behind it. Once you are sent to Dali Temple in Jinling in five days, you must die! It will be easy for you to die, but how can your sister survive? After arriving at Jiuquanzhi

How do you meet your parents? And the person behind you is probably laughing so hard in his dream that he has set up a scapegoat, and he is also a loyal scapegoat!"

These long but harsh words seemed to have shattered the young man's faith. He stood up crookedly and muttered to Wang Jingyao: "Sister, he said that you had dissipated all your family property and almost lost your virginity.

Is it true?"

Wang Jingyao bit her red lips tightly and her eyes were red, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yuan walked a few steps closer and said sternly: "If your sister hadn't found me today, your sister would have been poisoned right now! Do you understand, kid? Your so-called loyalty almost drove you to death.

My dear sister!"

Wang Jingguo's mind seemed to go blank and he was stunned for a moment. Then he bent his legs, knelt heavily on the ground, and then knocked hard on the ground.

"Sister! It's all my fault for making you suffer so much! My brother kowtows to you!"

Listening to the constant dull sound of "dong dong dong", Wang Jingyao naturally couldn't bear it and stepped forward with tears in her eyes: "Jingguo..."

Li Yuan grabbed her and shook his head with a sullen face, because in his opinion, the ignorant Wang Jingguo deserved to kowtow to his sister ten thousand times and was not worthy of pity. Wang Jingyao deserved it.

!

For a moment, Wang Jingguo, whose forehead was covered with blood from the knock, looked depressed, and then said with a bitter smile: "Sister, you go away! I won't tell you! Don't come to me again!"

His eyes were aimed at Li Yuan again, but his expression changed, and he still had the same fierce look: "As for you, I don't know who you are, but if you dare to bully my sister, I will never let you go.

!”

Hearing this, Li Yuan felt as if a mudslide had filled his heart, and he was really congested!

What is in Wang Jingguo's mind? He is childish and ignorant. No matter how good or bad you say, it doesn't make sense! Your sister tried so hard to get me to save you, but you just want to die?

"Huh, after death, you are just a handful of dust! I want to see how you won't let me go?"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea, and then he hugged Wang Jingyao hard, groping her delicate shoulders with his big hands, and said with a proud face: "By the way, I'll tell you, I'll wait until you die."

After that, I took your sister as my concubine, and I bullied her and abused her in different ways every day. Anyway, there was no one to protect her, so what could anyone do to me? Hahaha!"

This hit really hit Wang Jingguo's Achilles' heel. The young man suddenly stood up and threw himself on the iron railing. His eyes turned red and he roared: "Damn it! How dare you?!"

Li Yuan decided to add something more exciting, raised the corner of his mouth, and said to Wang Jingyao: "Why don't I dare! Come, little lady, give me a kiss for my husband~"

Wang Jingyao was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Now she saw Li Yuan's face coming towards her. She was at a loss and subconsciously said in a panic: "Brother Yuan..."

After the show was done, Li Yuan had no choice but to remind him in a low voice: "Please cooperate, hurry up! I'm sorry!"

Wang Jingyao's face turned red, her eyes were blurry, and she said timidly: "Well..."

So in front of everyone, Wang Jingguo watched helplessly as Li Yuan pouted, gave his sister a big kiss on the cheek, and seemed to hug him tighter! The small volcano erupted instantly: "I'll fuck you! Dog!"

Official! Beast!”

While slapping the iron bars with all his strength, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Sister, this dog official is scornful of you, why don't you resist?!"
