The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2216 Death
As for Xuan Shijing, after he returned to his study, no one around disturbed him, and he could sit down quietly and think about the future.

Obviously, today, the so-called friendship is absolutely unreliable. The only person who can rely on is himself. Although he has thought that he might come to this point, Xuan Shijing has nothing to regret. He wants to do it. Yes, what he can do, he has done his best.

Humans are just human beings and cannot become gods. Although there are so many more things in Xuan Shijing's mind than today's people, it does not mean that Xuan Shijing is smarter than others. He just stood on the shoulders of giants, With the help of what people have accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, he doesn't think he is a very good person.

After experiencing the ups and downs of the court, perhaps Xuan Shijing has grown a little bit, and being able to serve as ministers with those ministers during the Zhenguan period is Xuan Shijing's greatest harvest. It is fun to be able to fight with them, but You can also learn more from them.

Either serve the people wholeheartedly, or devote oneself to death, or protect one's life wisely, or fight for power.

Xuan Shijing is also middle-aged, with the confusion of middle-aged people, coupled with the recent troubled times, although he looks calm on the surface, he is also anxious.

From the perspective of others, Lai Junchen's impeachment of Xuan Shijing is undoubtedly like a fly shaking a tree, and he is beyond his control.

But most people also ignore what kind of person is standing behind this mayfly.

If ordinary people were impeached by Lai Junchen like this, perhaps things would not have been dragged on for so long.

The key to the matter now is not Lai Junchen, otherwise, His Majesty Li Er would not block Jinyang's face and ask about the Xuan family like this, and it was just a question, and it has been a long time. Then, Jin Yang spoke up, saying that after the matter was over, Lai Junchen would be dealt with, perhaps to test His Majesty Li Er's attitude. As a result, His Majesty Li Er said that he had already stayed away from the court, and he would not care about this matter.

And muddy, shirk, do not give a clear answer.

But even if it was given, it's nothing. It's just a handsome minister, and His Majesty Li Er didn't take him seriously.

In the middle of the night, Di Renjie was still looking through the files of the case in which his servant was beaten. Di Renjie carefully read all the clues that the people of Dali Temple found in Chang'an City and its surroundings. This case is not just a simple case. Di Renjie wanted to pull out more things through this incident.

In the government offices of Chang'an City, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the guards in the cells were drowsy.

Two men who looked like officials came in from the outside with long knives on their waists.

"It's shift change, both brothers go back to rest."

The two guards in the cell were already too sleepy. They got up from the bench, closed their eyes, yawned, cupped their hands casually, and left the cell.

Shift changes in the middle of the night, as usual.

After the shift change, the two who had just entered stayed in the cell, and within about a quarter of an hour, one of them gave the other a wink.

"Now everyone outside has been evacuated, and there are only two of us in the cell. Hurry up and do what the adults ordered."

"Okay, help me watch here." The other person said, and after he finished speaking, he took off the clothes of the officer on his body, and he was wearing dark clothes inside. He tore a piece of cloth and covered his face. He was blindfolded, and then walked towards the cell.

In addition to Zhao Zheng being locked up in the cell, there are other prisoners who committed crimes in Chang'an City and were sent to the Chang'an government office. After being convicted, they were locked in the cell Therefore, in fact, the prison cell of the Chang'an government office is not a safe place, at least it is unlikely to avoid other people's eyes and ears when doing things.

If Zhao Zheng was killed in an open and honest manner, Lai Junchen would give the truth to the censors in the court. If he did it secretly, there would be a mixed bag of fish and dragons in this cell, and it would be very difficult to investigate.

In addition, Lai Junchen also agreed to Zhao Zheng, so that he would not suffer so much when he died.

"Zhao Zheng."

The man walked to the door of Zhao Zheng's cell and called Zhao Zheng softly.

At this moment, even if there were other prisoners in the cell, they were already asleep, but the voice of the man calling Zhao Zheng was still lowered a lot.

Zhao Zheng was in the cell, and he was not a heavy sleeper. After being called two or three times, Zhao Zheng opened his eyes and looked towards the door of the cell.

"Who are you?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"I was entrusted by someone to bring you something." The man said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Zheng knew that this person was not here to deliver things, but to claim his life. This person must have been sent by Lai Junchen. During the day, what Lai Junchen said, he has not yet forget it.

"It seems that I'm really in a hurry. I just saw him during the day, and he came to see me off at night." Zhao Zheng got up from the straw, stood up, came to the door of the cell, and took the porcelain bottle from the man.

"Let your master rest assured, I have heard of your master's methods, and I will not be so overwhelmed that I will suffer." Zhao Zheng said: "What your master said during the day, although I I don't count on him, but I hope he can do it."

When Zhao Zheng came from Luoyang to Chang'an, he had already expected that his ending would not be so good, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Okay." The man responded.

Zhao Zheng clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand, no matter how much unwillingness there was in the letter, so what?

The situation is out of control, he just regrets now that he shouldn't have come aboard Junchen's thief ship.

Zhao Zheng looked at the small window above the cell. There was a faint light in the aisle of the cell, but it was pitch black outside.

Not even moonlight.

Zhao Zheng sat on the ground, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured all the contents into his mouth.

The people at the door watched Zhao Zheng roll painfully on the ground several times, gritted his teeth without making a sound, and then died, only sighed in his heart, and then left.

He has completed the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

After leaving the corridor of the cell, he changed his clothes again and became an official in the cell.

In the early morning of the next day, after the cell was changed, it was discovered that Zhao Zheng, the prisoner who had just been brought in yesterday, had died in the cell. The guards in the cell quickly reported the news to Chang'an Ling.

"What? People died? When did it happen?!" Chang An Ling said in surprise.
