Gu
Hao felt a little regretful.
If he could stay in the same cell as Yang Zhengdao, he felt that all his problems could be solved.
Unfortunately, he was staying in a single room.
Moreover, it was quite a distance away from the last time he saw Yang Zhengdao.
"When the palace gates open tomorrow morning, I will personally report to His Majesty about what happened to you tonight. At that time, His Majesty will decide how to interrogate you.”
Hou Junji said coolly.
"It's too dirty here," Gu Hao said."Get me a new set of bedding."”
Hou Junji frowned as he glanced at Gu Hao's cell.
It was neat and clean, without any dirt. There was even an oil lamp flickering.
This environment was not inferior to the rooms in the inn outside.
"Change it for him." Hou Junji coldly ordered, ignoring Gu Hao.
As soon as he left the prison, the deputy general came up to him.
"Zhao Yicheng's injuries are very serious. Not only are all his limbs broken, but that part of his…is too horrible to look at. He will definitely not be a man in the future.”The deputy general reported, his eyes revealing a hint of fear.
Too ruthless!
Initially, he thought that the top scholar had only broken Zhao Yicheng's limbs.
He did not expect that the top scholar was much more ruthless than he had seen.
If his limbs were dislocated, he could still reattach them,
but if some parts were broken, they would really be broken.
Hou Junji blinked and chuckled."He's a ruthless character."
The deputy general nodded in agreement.
"But…it's not ruthless enough." Hou Junji sneered.
The deputy general's heart skipped a beat and he asked in a low voice,""General, what do you mean?"
"What's the point of living for a crippled man?”Hou Junji's eyes narrowed.”
"…"
The deputy general replied, his heart trembling.
"The higher-ups are in a hurry to give this general something to use against me, how can this general not want it?”
Hou Junji muttered to himself.
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Gu Hao stood in front of the cell door and looked around.
The surroundings were dark and dark, and there was not a single person in sight.
He listened carefully…
There was a faint breathing sound in the cell on the right.
There was an earthen wall between the cell and the room, which was not connected.
In front of the cell was a 'wall' and a 'door' made of sturdy wooden sticks, just like the anti-theft door in the future.
Gu Hao held two thick and solid wooden sticks with both hands and
felt them for a moment. If he used his fist to attack, he would only need 50% of his strength.”
After silently weighing the pros and cons, Gu Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
The Overlord's body was still very powerful.
Even though he knew that he would not use such an extremely violent method to get out of prison
…whether he had the ability or not was completely different from whether he used it.
"F * cking Yang Zhengdao, don't let me have the chance to see you again. Otherwise, if I don't kill you, my surname isn't Gu.”Gu Hao cursed in a low voice.
He had never wanted to kill someone so badly before.
"Brother…Brother Gu?" At this moment, a hesitant shout came from the cell next door.
"Hmm?" Gu Hao frowned.
Why did this voice sound so familiar?
Moreover, there weren't many people who called him Brother Gu and lived in prison.
"Zhang Shenzhi?"
Gu Hao shouted tentatively.
"It's…it's me." The voice in the next room sounded pleasantly surprised.
"Heh, you're still alive?”
Gu Hao scoffed and said sarcastically.
Zhang Shenzhi was silent. After a while, he asked,"Brother Gu, why are you here?"
"I'm tired of staying at home and want to change my environment for a night.”Gu Hao replied casually. Then, he asked in confusion,"Why are you in the Ministry of Justice's prison? Weren't you locked up in the prison of Chang 'an County?”
"My case involves items bestowed by the emperor, so I've already transferred it to the Ministry of Justice," Zhang Shenzhi said bitterly.”
"Oh." "Oh," Gu Hao said softly.
"Brother Gu, are you still a lecturer in Hongwen Hall?”Seeing that Gu Hao was no longer speaking, Zhang Shenzhi asked hesitantly.
"So what? So what?" Gu Hao asked.
Since he was bored, he was in the mood to chat with his former 'dog friend'.
By his estimation, this 'dog friend' would be imprisoned for at least 20 years.
"For the sake of our past relationship, can you help me plead for mercy? I don't want to die yet.”Zhang Shenzhi quickly said.
"You don't want to die? Have you made your decision?" Gu Hao was curious.
Zhang Shenzhi was silent for a while and said,""The Autumn Empress asks for execution."
Gu Hao blinked and asked hesitantly,""Did you do something else?"
Zhang Shenzhi's crime was theft. However, since it involved the items bestowed by the emperor, the sentence might be heavier.
But…it was not to the extent of being executed after autumn.
According to Gu Hao's knowledge, the Tang Empire's imperial court had only issued some orders to reduce the sentence at the beginning of this year.
Zhang Shenzhi shook his head."No, but yesterday, they pinned the broken crystal cup on me and asked me to sign it."”
Gu Hao was enlightened.
Li Shi Min didn't kill Yang Zheng Dao, but the things that Yang Zheng Dao had done needed someone to take responsibility.
Zhang Shenzhi, the cup thief, was undoubtedly the best scapegoat.
"Then you're really unlucky." Gu Hao said leisurely.
In his heart, there was no pity for the Great Ass.
What was slightly regretful was that this fellow still owed him nearly a hundred strings of copper coins, as well as a jade Ruyi that Empress Xiao had once used.
"I really don't want to die. Brother Gu, for the sake of our friendship, please help me.”Zhang Shenzhi said anxiously.
Gu Hao sighed and said,"Everyone has to be responsible for what they have done.
I can't even protect myself now. I can't help you.”
Zhang Shenzhi's expression darkened, and his heart sank.
After a while, he asked in confusion,"Why did you come in?"
"In the end, we came here for the same reason.”Gu Hao sighed again and said,"The guy who asked you to steal the crystal cup is called Yang Zhengdao. He's the grandson of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He's also in the prison of the Ministry of Justice at the moment…"
Knowing that Zhang Shenzhi was going to be executed after autumn, Gu Hao didn't have much pity for him, but he also didn't have any resentment from the past.
As if he was talking to a friend, he told Zhang Shenzhi about how he was entangled with Yang Zhengdao.
Gu Hao sighed again.
He still felt that it was too f * cking aggrieved.
"The Turks, Yang Zhengdao, the Imperial Jade Seal, and Zhao Yicheng are slandering us…"
Zhang Shenzhi was shocked when he heard this.
"Then you probably won't stay here forever. There will definitely be a chance to go out.”
Zhang Shenzhi said.
"I've said it before, I'm here for a day.”
Gu Hao said.
This was his bottom line.
If he was still here tomorrow night, then he would really break out of the prison by force.
Zhang Shenzhi was silent. After a long time, he pleaded,"Then can you help me with something after you get out?”
Gu Hao frowned and asked in a muffled voice,""What is it?"
"The day before yesterday, my mother came from my hometown. I don't know what price she paid, but she got the prison guard to send me a letter.”Zhang Shenzhi sighed."She's just an ordinary peasant woman, but she told me that there was a way to save me and that I shouldn't commit suicide. She told me that I had to endure any torture.
"I feel like she was deceived. I'm her only son, and she doesn't have any other relatives…"
Zhang Shenzhi started crying as he spoke.
Gu Hao was silent.
In the past, Zhang Shenzhi had never mentioned his family background, probably because he felt that it was not very dignified.
At this moment, after knowing that he would die for sure, he thought of his only mother.
"What do you want me to do for you?”Gu Hao asked.
Zhang Shenzhi's sobs gradually stopped, but he was still sobbing. He said,"I dare not hope that Brother Gu can help me take care of my mother. I just hope that Brother Gu can help me find her so that she won't be deceived too badly…
I've let her down. She scrimped and saved for me to study for ten years, but not only did I accomplish nothing, I never repaid her, and even made her…
I…I…I beg Brother Gu!”
Dong ~!
Dong ~!
Dong ~!
Zhang Shenzhi kowtowed heavily.
Gu Hao could still hear the sound of his forehead hitting the ground through the earthen wall.
"Enough!"
Gu Hao said lightly,"I can help you with this.”
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Gu. Thank you, thank you…" Zhang Shenzhi was so excited that he was incoherent.
"If I knew this would happen, why did I do it?”
Gu Hao shook his head and said,"Tell me about your mother.”
"Oh, oh." Zhang Shenzhi climbed to the 'wall of sticks' and said,"My mother's name is Zhang Qianshi. The neighbors usually call her Aunt Qian or Shen Zhiniang…"
Zhang Shenzhi told Gu Hao about his mother and many things that happened when he was a child.
Gu Hao listened quietly. When Zhang Shenzhi gradually stopped, he asked,""Other than your mother, do you have any other family members?”
"My mother said that my father died in the war, and we fled to Shandong..."
Zhang Shenzhi sighed.
If he had other relatives, he would not have to beg Gu Hao like this.
