Chapter 1088 Murder still needs to be punished (1)
The originally empty Tianzi Prison of the Ministry of Justice was once again stuffed by the prisoners in just one day. The last time the Tianzi Prison with hundreds of cells was so crowded, it was dated back to two years ago. And just like two years ago, many high-ranking officials and their families were put into the prison this time. What’s more coincidental was that the prime minister and grand tutor of the dynasty were also imprisoned in the Tianzi Room and the Dizi Room. This made many prisoners start to wonder in their hearts whether these two high-ranking positions have recently been in conflict, why are such high-ranking officials being thrown into Tianzi Room and waiting to die?
Because of their noble status, Prime Minister Li Gang and Grand Tutor Song Jiang each had their own single-person prison cells. However, the treatment of other prisoners was much worse. More than ten people were stuffed into almost every prison cell, including officials in the court and families of many officials.
In this environment, I guessed what would happen to welcome me. Almost everyone was mournful and felt like they were lost. From time to time, there were whimpering sounds, which made people feel uneasy and unbearable.
At this point, even those who firmly support Li Gang and the others' plots have completely regretted it. Especially after seeing that their family members were arrested and imprisoned to suffer, these implicated officials were even more unbearable and began to insult Li Gang and Song Jiang for their harmful harm, and even more regretted their original choice.
At the beginning, only a few people dared to curse like this. After the next day, the cold and humid environment in the prison finally aroused the evil side of many people's hearts, and the number of people cursed continued to increase. Various emphasizing words from all over the world fermented and stirred up in this closed environment like the stench, and all passed into the two prison cells at the end. It was heard that the two masterminds' faces became increasingly ugly.
It was not until this time that Li Gang realized how stupid the decision he made was. He actually wanted to win over these seemingly loyal and fearless guys but actually have poor character to kill the traitors and protect the country. This also made him feel a little more regretful and guilty, especially for Song Jiang who was silent in front of him.
After enduring for a long time, he finally said, "Teacher Song, if you are angry, you can scold me a few words. It is true that I have thought things simple and dragged you down from the water, which has led to your good senior officials in the court, but now I have become a death row prisoner to be punished."
Song Jiang, who was as close as an ancient well, sighed softly until he finished saying this for a while: "No wonder Li Xiang, it was because Song Jiang wanted to be a loyal, filial piety person since he was a child. But when he thought about it carefully, he had no use in his early years and could only be a fucking man in the county government. Later on, he even went on a wrong path and became a stray mountain. I thought this would be the case in my life, which would only bring shame to my ancestors. As a result, God treated me well and finally had the opportunity to serve the country.
"In those years, Song Jiang, I, finally did what I did and served the country. But unexpectedly, I finally realized that the person I had been serving was actually a more unbearable existence than Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. Those treacherous people only used their power for personal gain and embezzled and bribed, but Sun Tu was a real ambitious person. He could regard the king as a puppet and treat the world as his own pocket. His ambition was as great as Cao Cao and Wang Mang!
"Even if you, Li Xiang, don't ask me to attack him, I, Song Jiang, will think about eliminating the country. So I don't blame you. If you want to blame, you can only blame the unfairness of the Heavenly Way. We ended up in failure. I underestimated Sun Tu, the thief. I didn't expect that he had seen through my plan early in the morning and used the plan..."
After saying this, Li Gang also sighed. In fact, he had experienced Sun Tu's terror in this change. Take the generals who suddenly turned against each other, the deep thoughts and ruthless methods were not something he and others could deal with.
Half of his sigh was interrupted by a faint voice in front of him: "I didn't expect that you, Song Gongming, have always regarded me as a enemy, and it really makes people feel sad."
This made Li Gang and Song Jiang suddenly shake their bodies. After squinted carefully, they found that there were several figures standing in the black penis corridor. The person who spoke first was the biggest winner, the damn traitor Sun Tu in their mouths!
It was also because they were disturbed by their own mind that they did not realize that there was no time. There was no one shouting and scolding. Of course, this was because everyone discovered that Sun Tu brought people to him and did not dare to be arrogant. At this time, he was in the dark, and he couldn't see the expression on his face. Only his eyes were flashing with strange light, staring at Song Jiang: "I think I have done my best to you. Among the many brothers around me, you, Song Jiang, have the highest status, even higher than Tong Mu. But not only do you not know the reward, but you join hands with those with ulterior motives to kill me. Is this what you, Song Jiang, call loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?"
When Sun Tu glared at him, Song Jiang felt a chill rising from his back. But soon, he forced this emotion to suppress it and looked back at Sun Tu without any permission: "Since you have heard it, why bother to ask this? You and me are incompatible, and it is natural that I am an enemy of you."
"Okay, a thief is incompatible." Sun Tu sighed lightly, took two steps forward, showing a face with no expression. Obviously, Song Jiang's answer did not make him angry: "To be honest, I have not been able to figure out a simple truth until now, why can't you understand? What is the most important thing in this country? Is it the useless monarch who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in the palace, or the people of the world?"
"Rareless, Sun Tu, how dare you judge the emperor like this? You..." Li Gang suddenly changed his color and shouted angrily, but after half of his words, Sun Tu cried out: "Are I wrong about what I said? Zhao Ji has done several things that are beneficial to the country and the people since he ascended the throne? However, for decades, he has been increasing taxes, reusing treacherous slander, such as Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, and even believed in slander to create a Hua Shigang who caused the people of Jiangnan to live in poverty and forced out the Fang La Rebellion... These things are things that a wise ruler should do. Is it wrong to say that he is a fool?"
Li Gang's heart beat hard, but he couldn't give a rebuttal. He could only breathe a while and said, "Even so, it's not your reason for slandering the emperor. This is a serious crime to deceive the emperor!"
"Bully the king?" Sun Tu said disdainfully, "I have done everything, are you still afraid of saying it?"
"You... you really admit that you have made a mistake in your plans and are a traitor!" Song Jiang immediately seized the opportunity and shouted: "That's why I will do everything to be an enemy of you. This is the duty of being a subject, and you have no right to blame me!"
"That's why I said you are really stupid, because until today, you still only put the so-called loyalty on one person, and do not want to be loyal to the entire country and nation." Sun Tu sighed and shook his head and said, "The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least. The saints of the ancients have already made it clear, but you still don't know how to adapt until now. No wonder you will end up today.
"For me, whether it is a king or a court, it is just a prerequisite for ensuring the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. If they can't even do this, it is not worth maintaining and there is no need to exist. I am only loyal to this idea in my heart, and I just want to seek some welfare for the people of the world and do something within my ability for the strength of the Han people. Do you know that if it weren't for me, Sun Tu, the Jin army would have entered Tokyo a few years ago, and the country had already been destroyed. The so-called emperor in your mouth would become a captive toys in the hands of those barbarians. What I did was to save countless people and this country and nation!"
"It's just nonsense!" The two shouted loudly in unison. Even at this time, they still couldn't accept Sun Tu's strange theory.
Sun Tu didn't mean to blame them, but just shook his head with a smile. He clearly said the facts and the direction presented by the original history, but now no one will believe it. Who said that the Jin people were beaten by themselves two or three years ago and could only hide in a corner of the northeast? In fact, even in the original history, before the Jin people really fought under Tokyo, no one in the world would believe that the seemingly prosperous and powerful Song Dynasty would be destroyed by an inconspicuous small tribe?
Looking at the stubborn two people, Sun Tu no longer tried to convince them, but just closed his face and said, "Song Jiang, I came here today just to tell you a fact. Your loyalty was actually completely wrong. The court has decided to deal with you, behead and abandon the market, and destroy the three tribes!"
When this was said from Sun Tu, everyone in the prison was stunned at first, and then the crying sounded. Even if they were prepared, those people would not have thought that they would have such an ending, and they would not be able to accept such a miserable ending. If Sun Tu hadn't been here, I would have been afraid that these people's insults Li Gang and the others would have been hundreds of times stronger and more vicious than before.
Even Song Jiang and Li Gang were completely stunned at this time. The destruction of the three clans means that the tribe members of the parents and wives who are closest to him will be implicated and die, and there are too many people involved. Perhaps Song Jiang only has a little bit of luck. He has not married yet, but he has less implicated people in the clan.
But as long as he thinks that his parents' grave will be implicated, and his brother Song Qing in Yuncheng, he suffered another pain and fell into a trance. As for Li Gang, the situation is worse than him. He has five sons in the village. They have not gained any benefit from him, but now they are going to die because of this, and their deceased wife's family...
