At the same time, the four family heads imprisoned in the Sky Prison are now mentally confused and so anxious that they have lost a lot of hair.
Last night, they had the same dream all night long. In the dream, the scenes of parading and beheading were repeated endlessly. After being tortured by the dream, their thoughts became very violent. They just wanted to kill the other three people, or at least not let them live a good life!
Tap, tap, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Xu Xiaoyi came to Changsun Jian's cell carrying an exquisite lunch box. The jailer leaned over to open the door of the cell and made a gesture of invitation!
Xu Xiaoyi nodded and walked in.
He came in front of Changsun Jian, who was still in a daze. Xu Xiaoyi opened the lunch box, and the fragrance inside instantly filled the entire cell. After Changsun Jian smelled it, his stomach growled. He was so hungry that he hadn't eaten or drunk anything since yesterday!
Xu Xiaoyi showed a pitiful expression, pushed the lunch box forward, and said:
"Eat, Changsun Jian. I'll come back tomorrow. This is your second to last meal before you go on the road. Tomorrow, you will be paraded through the streets and beheaded."
Chang Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this. Tomorrow he would be paraded through the streets and beheaded? Why did this plot seem so familiar, just like last night's dream? He asked in panic:
"Should the parade be along Changjing Road?"
Xu Xiaoyi immediately widened his eyes, frowned, and said in surprise:
"How do you know? Yes, that's the way to go.
Furthermore, the other three family heads have even made it known that they have booked rooms in two major inns along that road, ready to see you one last time."
Chang Sun Jian stood up. He was surprised. It was exactly like the scene in his dream! Why was it like this? Could it be that God thought I was not destined to die?
"Xu Xiaoyi! Let me out. Give me some time. I can prove that I wasn't the one who killed you!"
"Can you prove it? Forget it, they've already signed your evidence and are urging me to hurry up." Xu Xiaoyi waved his hand, shifting the conflict to the aristocratic family. As expected, Chang Sunjian was slipped away after hearing this.
"The three of them! Bastards! What a bunch of despicable villains," Chang Sun Jian gritted his teeth. He now believed that the dream was real.
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Xu Xiaoyi immediately put down his lunch box and pretended to leave. Chang Sun Jian immediately spoke to persuade him to stay!
"Wait! Xu Xiaoyi, I am unwilling to die like this. I am wronged. I can entrust the family seal of the Changsun family to you, but do you have any way to let me survive?" He had no choice but to take out his trump card. He wanted to survive now!
"What? You actually want to give me the seal!" Xu Xiaoyi showed a surprised expression and covered his mouth in disbelief.
Chang Sun Jian was very satisfied with this expression, and he immediately continued with his emotion:
"That's right. It's the seal that makes the Changsun family obey you. As long as you can find a way to keep me alive, I'll give it to you!"
Xu Xiaoyi scratched his head, looking very confused, and said irritably:
"This is difficult. Do you think it's easy? The higher-ups have ordered you to be guillotined tomorrow."
The two fell into silence for a moment, and then Xu Xiaoyi broke the silence!
"But... there is a solution."
"You say!" Chang Sun Jian said excitedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and was about to shake Xu Xiaoyi.
Xu Xiaoyi asked the jailer to bring paper and pen, and after writing something, he handed it to Chang Sun Jian. He said firmly:
"Just drag them all into this. That way, even His Majesty won't be able to execute the four family heads directly. Otherwise, the Imperial City will be in complete chaos. This is the only way for you to escape the death penalty tomorrow."
Chang Sun Jian looked at the paper that stated that he had committed a crime together with three other family heads, with a place for signatures below. He then looked up at Xu Xiaoyi who was looking serious in front of him.
Xu Xiaoyi looked at the other person's worried expression and continued:
"Actually, I also think there's something fishy about them. It's like the three of them had discussed it beforehand. They all gave the same confession, all saying it was you, and even signed and sealed it. Now that I think about it, I believe them at first, as I have no experience in handling cases. Now I realize it belatedly, and I feel like I've been tricked."
After hearing this, Chang Sun Jian became even angrier. Adding to his dream last night, he took the pen and decisively signed his name and pressed his fingerprints!
"Quickly bring them all back to me! Especially that bastard Nanyang Fan Hou!!"
Xu Xiaoyi took the paper back, nodded after reading it, and then made a gesture of reaching out for something.
Chang Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly took out a piece of paper from his arms, opened it layer by layer, took out the seal and handed it to Xu Xiaoyi.
Xu Xiaoyi, who successfully obtained the Changsun family seal, left with a happy look on his face.
Chang Sunjian laughed from behind. "Xu Xiaoyi! Even if you have this thing, would His Majesty be willing to give it to you? And will my Chang Sun family listen to you? It's ridiculous."
After Chang Sun Jian sat down and prepared to eat the meal, he picked it up and looked at it. Why were there only two steamed buns? Wasn't there a big chicken drumstick on top just now?
Xu Xiaoyi deliberately pinned the seal to his waist, then took out a delicious lunch box from his system backpack. He walked away from Changsun Jian's cell and came to the cell of Nanyang Fan Hou. Nanyang Fan Hou was also very angry when he saw him. He shouted:
"Xu Xiaoyi! Let me out! I'm innocent!"
"Oh, stop struggling. The higher-ups have already said you'll be paraded through the streets tomorrow and then be guillotined. This is your second-to-last meal."
"What?! Parading through the streets, guillotining, that's not me and my dream..." Nanyang Fan Hou's pupils widened, and he said in surprise:
"What dream?" Xu Xiaoyi tilted his head and asked in confusion:
"In short, you'd better let me out soon. I can't die in vain! I want the three of them to confront me!" Nanyang Fan Hou grabbed the fence and pulled it hard.
"There's nothing we can do about it. You can't get out anymore and you can only wait to die. Actually, I also know that there's something fishy about the other three families. When they interrogated us, it was as if they had discussed it in advance. Even their confessions were the same, saying that you did it, and you signed and sealed it on the spot. This was my first time trying a case, so I didn't understand it. Now when I think about it, I realize that I was fooled." Xu Xiaoyi sighed and shook his head.
Nanyang Fan Hou was even more furious when he heard this. He felt like he was being sold out. It must be the revenge for the previous salt power incident. He pounded the bars of the cell fiercely! Then he accidentally saw that the seal of the Changsun family was tied around his waist.
"How did this thing end up on you?" Nanyang Fan Hou asked loudly:
