Fang Zhengyi came to the imperial prison again with a few more things in his hands.
Imperial edicts, poisoned wine, writings, and some exquisite food and wine.
Zhang Shi was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, just like last time.
The whole person looks emaciated.
Before he even opened his eyes, he said, "Master Fang is here? I thought you wouldn't come again."
Fang Zhengyi was wondering, could this old guy have mastered some magical skills in prison? He knew it was me when he heard the footsteps.
"How do you know it was me?"
"Mr. Yan was scolding you just now."
"I didn't curse! I didn't curse! Zhang Shi, stop talking nonsense!" Old Yan quickly lay on the prison door and cried out for justice, fearing that Fang Zheng would hit him again with a stick.
Fang Zheng cast a sinister look at Old Yan: "You old thing, I'll make you kneel down and beg me later!"
Old Yan didn't dare to say anything more. He glared at him fiercely and then shrank silently into the corner.
Seeing that Zhang Shi still had his eyes closed, Fang Zhengyi said impatiently, "Can you stop pretending? I've already brought you what you wanted."
Zhang Shi was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly: "You...you can actually do it?"
Fang Zhengyi sneered and threw the imperial edict to Zhang Shi: "You think too highly of yourself and underestimate His Majesty. Your family's lives are saved, but you will be exiled."
"But when I think about it carefully, their fate is not bad. Our Great Kingdom is becoming increasingly powerful. If they are lucky, they will be able to live a stable life. After two or three generations, they may have a chance to return to the capital."
Zhang Shi held the imperial edict tremblingly, running his fingers over every word on it, and naturally turned a deaf ear to what Fang Zhengyi said.
Fang Zhengyi said to himself: "The higher-ups have decided to keep this matter low-key, and they can still save your face."
"There is no deep hatred between you and me. I brought you some wine, food, and paper and pen."
"Enjoy your last meal, leave a suicide note, and get ready to go."
After saying this, Fang Zhengyi placed the wine, food, writing materials and writing brushes at the prison door and stepped back a few steps.
This dying man must be guarded against. What if this old fellow is immoral and strikes back at him?
After a long time, when Zhang Shi put down the imperial edict, his eyes were already filled with tears.
He first stood up, straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust and weeds, then slowly bowed in the direction of the imperial palace and kowtowed deeply.
When he looked up again, he was already in tears, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your forgiveness, your majesty. I die without regrets!"
Although he didn't thank him, Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little more respect for him.
He does have a problem with himself, but some of the deep-rooted qualities in scholars are indeed worthy of respect.
Zhang Shi slowly stood up, looked at Fang Zhengyi, bowed first, and said seriously, "Thank you, Lord Fang."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. I am just following the rules. Since you are not rebelling, I cannot treat you as a rebel."
"Master Zhang, you still have one day. I'll leave the wine, food, and writings for you. Tell me the locations of your other two silver vaults, and everything between you and me will be settled."
Zhang Shi leaned over to pick up the paper and pen, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, Lord Fang, I will never break my promise."
After saying this, he turned around and sat back on the ground, picking up his pen and starting to daydream.
Old Yan standing by was already dumbfounded.
After a moment, he threw himself on the wooden fence like a madman, howling, "Master Fang! I have money too! I have money too. Your Majesty, how are you going to punish me?"
"Does your family also hide silver?" Fang Zheng asked.
"Hidden! Hidden!" Old Yan looked like a madman.
This glimmer of hope must be seized! At his age, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, but the family must not fall.
"Well, OK! Sir Zhang, please ask him to write one after you finish writing it." Fang Zhengyi said jokingly, "I can save your family's life, but you seemed to be scolding me just now, right?"
Elder Yan immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord Fang, it's my old age that's confused, it's my old age that's confused..."
As Old Yan kowtowed repeatedly, Fang Zheng laughed and walked away.
After his figure disappeared from the imperial prison, Old Yan continued to kowtow and admit his mistakes.
Until Zhang Shi sighed and said, "Old Yan, stop kowtowing. You are also mentioned in the imperial edict. His Majesty has pardoned you. The Yan family has been demoted to commoners, and you have also had a cup of poisoned wine."
"Fang Zhengyi is teasing you."
"What!"
An unexpected ecstasy suddenly hit Mr. Yan!
The corners of his mouth just showed an arc, but when he thought of Fang Zhengyi pretending in front of him, they immediately drooped again. He jumped up from the ground, pointed at the distance and cursed: "Fang Zhengyi! Fuck you%^@*\u0026@\u0026..."
.......
Outside the Northern Pacification Office, a group of people were arguing loudly.
There were still dozens of carriages parked along the street. Led by Ren Hua, more than twenty captains held the long swords at their waists and looked at the more than 200 strong men who appeared inexplicably as if they were facing a great enemy.
These people in front of me are all tall and strong. From their calloused hands, you can tell that they are martial artists, especially their thick thighs, which are definitely extraordinary!
"This is the office of the Jinyiwei. Who are you? Don't stay any longer. Leave immediately!"
Zhao Lie scratched his head and looked at the thin Ren Hua and said, "We were sent by Lord Fang Zheng. Please inform him."
"Master Fang? Where are you from?"
"Taoyuan County, Lord Fang said that we will be Jinyiwei strongmen in the future, so let us go to the Northern Pacification Office to meet first, and then we can be assigned." Zhao Lie said honestly.
When Ren Hua heard this, he was surprised and happy!
The staff below are not yet fully staffed, so they have not yet arrived to take up their duties at the Qianhu Office. Now a group of people who look very capable have arrived.
If it is assigned to my subordinates, it will undoubtedly be a great help.
But... this is Fang Zhengyi's man, I have already offended him... and there are some troubles
Ren Hua whispered to the side: "Go and inform Lord Fang."
After that, he raised his head and said loudly, "What did you bring in the carriage?"
"Your Excellency, those are all fitness equipment."
"Fitness equipment? What is that? Take it out and let me see it!" Ren Hua pointed at the carriage road.
Zhao Lie looked embarrassed: "This is for our internal use, you are not allowed to see it!"
"How dare you! Although you are assigned by Lord Fang, you are just strong men. Today I want to see what your so-called fitness equipment is!" Ren Hua said loudly.
"Zhao Lie, let him see if he wants. But don't make a scene on the street or else you'll make a fool of yourself if your colleagues see you. Move the things inside." Fang Zheng walked out from behind Ren Hua with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Ren Hua with a fake smile, he said, "I personally recruited a strongman. Do you have any objection?"
"I dare not!" Ren Hua lowered his head quickly, his heart trembling.
"It doesn't matter. Aren't you interested in fitness equipment? You should play with it every day in the future. I will let you have fun!" After saying that, Fang Zheng walked back swayingly with the child on his back.
Zhao Lie and others began to busy themselves beside the carriage.
Huge and oddly shaped metal components were being moved down from the carriage....
