Chapter 022 Release from Prison (4)
Chapter 022 Released from prison - A clever tongue, a punishment for the hour (4)
When the old jailer walked away, Liu Shuyi told his plan to the Li brothers. Both of them thought it was feasible, and they both thought that although they were not 100% sure, it would be okay to give it a try.
It turned out that Liu Shuyi lured Wang Er over and planned to admit that he colluded with Li Mi in person and intended to commit rebellion. Then he changed his subject and confessed confidently that the person who conspired to echo the Wagang bandits in Taiyuan City was the deputy guard of Taiyuan, Wang Wei, the master of Wang Er. He threatened to go to Jiangdu to face Emperor Daye.
Thinking that Wang Wei was a strong local tyrant in Taiyuan, he was still not as good as Li Yuan in his position. Although the world is chaotic and the emperor's majesty has plummeted, even so, a considerable number of the Sui soldiers in Sun City are still loyal to the court. If the emperor's order arrives, Li Yuan will take advantage of the situation and put down the insults and inspire people, and I am afraid no one can calmly resolve it.
Liu Shuyi knew this. How could Wang Wei not know about it for many years in the officialdom? Naturally, he was afraid. Since the Li family was protected, he could not confront him head-on. It would be not easy to kill someone to silence him. The best way is to admit that the crime of rebellion of the Liu family father and son was falsely accused and let the Liu family father and son be released so as not to get into trouble.
At noon the next day, the old jailer came back to report the details and said that he had brought a lot of words to him.
Wang Erchu was very suspicious and asked many questions continuously. The old prison guard was also quite smart, and he deliberately exaggerated the deterioration of the relationship between the Li family and the Liu family, making up all the appearance of the Li brothers angrily leaving the prison.
Wang Er's face was a little scared, a little smiled, and a little surprised. The weather was unpredictable, which was elusive.
But he did not have any famous sayings on whether he would come to the prison as soon as possible. The old prison guard identified his appearance and carefully paid attention to his expression, but he still couldn't be sure.
A few days later, not only did Wang Er not come, but there were fewer sneaky "idlers" outside the Taiyuan County Prison, and the "family members" who visited the prisoners were almost extinct.
When Liu Shuyi saw that the Wang family was deliberately withdrawing from the secret whistle, he wondered: Could it be that they had guessed that I was deliberately intimidating and would not go to Jiangdu to die with him?
He guessed that the history he was in today was very likely to have changed, and even was very different from the history in his memory. He had decided to be self-reliant and not rely on or less on unreliable historical knowledge.
Wang Er never came these days, and the plan was about to die, so the father and son could only delay the time they were released from prison. However, the prison was not a place to stay for a long time. Although the Li family secretly protected it, dangers could not be avoided. Going out as soon as possible is the perfect solution.
What's more, if the Li family really takes the Liu family's father and son seriously, they will rescue them regardless of everything. Li Jiancheng kept saying that he would make a long-term plan, but he was not worried that the Li family would forcibly stand up and face the Wang family directly, which would be detrimental to the Li family.
After all, the Liu family is just a tool of the Li family. How can the Liu family live and die to the Li family's little interests?
Liu Shuyi had already figured out this point, so he didn't dare to trust the Li family completely. At this moment, Wang Er was reluctant to come, and he was depressed and wanted to find someone to vent.
I saw my father Liu Wenjing grimly and sighing all day long. During the conversation, I found that he was not worried about his current situation, but was worried that the king had a strong family. The Li family might not be able to win, his ambitions were hard to fulfill, and his reputation would not be passed on to future generations.
The eldest brother Liu Shuyi's body was almost healed and he quickly returned to his old view. He either stroked and sang some children's songs, as if he had forgotten the pain and torture that day.
Of course, Liu Shuyi could not vent his emotions to the two of them, but there were always people who were in trouble.
The two jailer, the old and the young, became his venting targets. He called the two of them over if they had something to do, either asking for water to eat or squeezing them in words. In the end, he got tired of playing, so he asked the young jailer to stay outside the prison gate and report the situation outside regularly. If Wang Er came over and came back quickly to report.
The two prisoners knew that the Liu family had a very unusual relationship with the Tang Duke Li family and did not dare to offend them. They obeyed Liu Shuyi's request and did not dare to disobey any of them. They just wanted him to speak a few good words in front of the Li brothers and let them go.
On the evening of the day, it was getting darker and the young jailer was waiting on the street in front of Taiyuan County Prison as usual.
At this moment, his heart was over and over. The old prison guard in the daytime warned himself with a serious face that he had to obey the words of the young man in the Liu family, otherwise his life would be in danger immediately.
He has been following his master for several years, and he has never seen his master look so anxious and fearful.
The master also said that if he doesn't listen to Liu Shuyi's words, the Li family will not spare us, but if he acts according to his words, the Wang family will hold a grudge against us in the future. We are vulgar people. Even if we want to surrender to one side in order to protect ourselves, they may not even look down on us.
The master's current intention is that the master and disciple cannot escape this disaster. Thinking of his young age and leaving the world before he married, he couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a cold moon hung slanted in the sky.
The young prison guard stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears, thinking that Wang Er would not come today.
In fact, he never thought that Wang Er would come. Just by Liu Shuyi's words, why should Wang Er come over? Thinking of Wang Er's viciousness and cruelty, he couldn't help but shiver and shook his head and was about to go back.
At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, and someone was walking towards me, with a lot of steps, and it seemed that there were a large number of people.
The Taiyuan County Prison was originally located in a detached position, but it was dark again. There were no pedestrians on the streets. The surroundings were originally silent, and the sound of footsteps suddenly came. The jailer noticed it immediately.
At the first moment, he didn't expect it to be Wang Er. He was about to go over and check it quietly, but suddenly someone in the crowd said, "What are you afraid of? Even if I go alone, what can he do to me?" His voice was loud, arrogant and arrogant, and he could tell at first.
The young prison guard immediately recognized that the person who spoke was Wang Er.
When he was working in the prison, Wang Er brought people to the prison to torture, beat and even secretly executed the prisoners. This was commonplace. Most of the prisoners were deliberately framed by Wang Er and called for justice and imprisonment. He was quite familiar with Wang Er's voice, and sometimes he would be scared by this voice in his dreams in the middle of the night.
Since he knew it was Wang Er, he immediately remembered the words of his master. While they were still far away and did not find themselves, he ran towards the prison.
It was strange that as soon as he ran, those people also ran, as if they had discovered themselves and wanted to arrest them.
He was so scared that he ran away and never dared to look back. He could only hear the sound of the wind and the footsteps followed closely.
I rushed to the door of the prison in one breath, and the footsteps behind me gradually stopped, and only the fragmented footsteps were coming here.
Looking back, I couldn't help but feel very surprised. Although he had not counted the number of people just now, there were at least a hundred people. Why did only three people come here suddenly?
Without time to think about it, the colleague who was guarding the gate nodded and rushed into the prison quickly.
After coming outside the prison cell of the father and son of the Liu family, he was so tired that he was breathing. After a while, he was breathing smoothly, he said: "Wang Er...he is here..."
The sound trembled, and it was extremely frightened.
I thought that the 14 or 15-year-old boy in front of me would be in chaos. Even if I could pretend to be calm, I would definitely look panicked, but the above situation did not happen.
Liu Shuyi said lightly: "Oh, I understand, you go down first."
The young jailer thought he had heard it wrong, so he repeated it: "I said Wang Er was here, right outside, and he arrived in a blink of an eye."
Unexpectedly, Liu Shuyi widened his eyes, his face full of incredible feelings, and said, "I'm not deaf. I heard it just now. Go down and find your master."
The young jailer turned his head and looked at Liu Shuyi carefully. He remembered that when he first saw this young man, he pretended to sleep to hide his fear. Could it be that he used the same trick again at this moment? Otherwise, there would be no reason. When the enemy arrived, he was like a person who was fine, and even a few people came to the other party, he would not ask.
At this time, the old jailer had already come behind him and scolded, "You're not leaving quickly, come with me!" He said that, and stretched out to pull him.
The young prison guard did not dare to break free and hurriedly said, "Many people came and disappeared suddenly. Only three people came to the prison. You... be careful!"
As soon as he said that, he was shocked. When did he care so much about a prisoner?
Liu Shuyi was a little surprised when he heard the warning and instinctively wanted to say thank you, but before he could speak, the young jailer disappeared.
I thought to myself: It seems that I have seen the right person before. Now the Liu family is short of people, so taking the two of them for their own use can help solve the urgent problem after being released from prison.
It turned out that Liu Shuyi always remembered the old prisoner's plea for the Liu family. Although he knew that the old prisoner was just asking for self-protection, the result was good. The eldest brother made a profit and suffered less pain.
He has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and has more favors than dislikes for the old prisoners. The reason why he targeted the old prisoners everywhere and deliberately made the young and old prisoners offend the Li family and the Wang family again because he wanted to put the master and apprentice in a desperate situation first, and then he would take them in. In this way, they might be grateful and might be willing to give them advice.
While thinking, the footsteps were heard quickly and several people walked over quickly. Liu Shuyi sneered in his heart: He is finally here.
He had made sufficient preparations in advance. Even if the young jailer did not give a warning, he had guessed that Wang Er would never fail to prepare and come to take risks.
He had asked the Li brothers to ambush elite men outside the prison and pretend to be a prisoner in the prison. As long as the situation is slightly unfavorable and the signal is sent, the help from outside will instantly control the entire Taiyuan County Prison.
Not long after, the three of them came to see each other. The leader had a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, with a vulgar appearance, which was Wang Er.
There were two people following him. One on the left was quite tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, about thirty years old; the man on the right was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dark face, short and fat, with a big belly, and was like a meat ball.
Wang Er said, "Little brother, we're meeting again." He had a smile on his face and his voice was surprisingly polite.
Liu Shuyi naturally knew his intention, but he wanted to win over himself and deal with the Li family together, and said, "Well, but we didn't have much fun when we met before."
After saying that, he looked at the elder brother behind him and saw him hiding behind his father, only half of his head was revealed, showing that he was still scared of the last torture and confession.
Liu Shuyi's anger suddenly rose, his eyes full of murderous intent, but remembering that today was not the time to take action, he turned his head and showed a bright and innocent smile at Wang Er.
Wang Er felt that the smile in front of him was quite strange, as if there was a face hidden behind his smiling face, with green face and fangs, which was intimidating.
He has always been used to being domineering in Taiyuan City. When others see him, they are only afraid of the terror. When have they ever been afraid of anyone? But today, he always feels a little scared in his heart, and he is even slightly afraid of the teenager in front of him.
Thinking of the purpose of going to the prison today, he smiled and said, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. If you have the chance, I will apologize to Brother Ling in person."
The opportunity he mentioned was that the Liu family was willing to serve the Wang family and framed Li Yuan.
He turned around and rushed to the tall entourage behind him and said, "Let the prison guards open the prison door, I want to have a long talk with Brother Liu."
The tall minion nodded and left quickly.
While waiting, Wang Er thought about the past and remembered Wang Wei's words.
Before leaving, General Wang said:
"Since Li Yuan has not personally intervened in the Liu family's imprisonment, it is not easy for me to come forward. Otherwise, the matter will expand and the impact will be extremely bad, and he may blame the two sons.
If I ask myself, he will find a reason to make a random crime. Although he is not afraid of the Li family, it will be detrimental to the future plan.
The boy from the Liu family seems to be interested in joining us and dealing with Li Yuan. If he is sincere, it will be a blow to the Li family. Although he cannot bring down the Li family in one fell swoop, it will definitely weaken the Li family's power in Taiyuan. You can handle this matter well, and once the matter is done, I will be rewarded."
Wang Er could naturally hear Wang Wei’s implication. If things change, he must resist all the responsibility and be this unlucky scapegoat.
He has always been sincere in his work for the Wang family, working hard and not knowing how much blood of the Wang family's enemies is stained with. But no matter how many times he sold his life for the Wang family and how much contribution he made, he was just an insignificant servant. He would not have said he would give up at that time. Except for his elder brother, no one would really care about him.
Thinking of this, a chill in my heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
But then I thought that I was originally a low-level identity, and was blatant everywhere and bullied every day. After joining the Wang family, I was proud and glorious, and doubled the people who had bullied me one by one. Now, who in Taiyuan City has seen me is not respectful and awe?
Hehe, even if a person dies immediately, it will not be in vain.
Not long after, the tall entourage led a prisoner back, but he was not the old jailer or the young jailer.
The prison guard saw that it was Wang Er, and he was afraid of negligence. He respectfully opened the iron lock of the prison door and quickly retreated.
Wang Er took the lead in entering the cell, with two followers following closely behind.
He remembered Wang Wei's instructions and wanted to do his best to reconcile with the Liu family, lure them to cooperate with the Wang family, and falsely accused Li Yuan of intending to rebel.
I still wanted to continue to exchange greetings and make contact with each other, but before I could say it, someone spoke first.
I heard Liu Shuyi say: "If the Liu family cooperates with you, what benefits can they achieve?" He is straightforward and does not beat around the bush.
