Chapter 24: Character is the measure of people
According to the official system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the prisons in Kyoto are divided into the Zhao Prison and the Tian Prison.
Zhao Prison is the place where His Majesty ordered officials to be detained, and Tianzhuo is the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice is located west of the Ministry of Justice. Like all prisons, it is deserted and lonely, and the atmosphere seems depressing.
Yang Shuang's arrival caused panic among the prison officers. He had never expected His Highness Ming to come in person. He was afraid of being negligent, so he hurried to invite the doctor of the Ministry of Justice.
"The lower official Liang Zhenglie, pay homage to His Highness, the King of Ming Dynasty. His Highness is in a desperate situation to welcome him. Please forgive me." The doctor of the Ministry of Justice looked respectful.
Yang Shuang explained his purpose: "I want to meet Yang Su, the death row prisoner, but nothing big happens."
"The official understands, please ask your highness." Liang Zhenglie did not dare to stop him, so he could only lead him personally and walked into the death row.
The darkness in the prison, the deeper it goes, the darker it becomes.
All kinds of death row prisoners showed their hair, like walking corpses. If they could be locked up here, they were basically serious crimes, and they were just waiting for the death to be executed later.
When he came to a prison, Yang Shuang saw Yang Su.
I saw him wearing a white prison jacket. Although his hair was messy and scarred, his eyes were firm and he was extremely alert.
He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, but when he saw Yang Shuang and others stop, he quickly got up.
Yang Shuangdan ordered, and the prison officers and others avoided him.
"Are you Yang Su?" Yang Shuang looked at her. Judging from her temperament and temperament, this Yang Su was not a fictional person.
Yang Su was also looking at Yang Shuang. Although Yang Shuang was wearing casual clothes, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
He was curious and bowed and replied, "It's me, I don't know what the young master is doing when he sees me?"
Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Your sister Yang Qing beat the Dengwen Drum today to avenge you."
"What? How is my sister?" Yang Su was extremely anxious and hurriedly grabbed the wooden railing of the prison and asked urgently.
Yang Shuang comforted: "Your sister is safe and sound. I bought the imperial guards. Those thirty court sticks are just a form."
"Thank you for your kindness, my son, I have no choice but to repay you. Please accept my wish!" Yang Su breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt down and knocked his head.
Yang Shuang smiled and was bowed to him. Although it was just a brief exchange, Yang Shuang saw the temperament of Yang Su.
He turned around and looked at Han Qinhu, and saw Han Qinhu nodding.
Han Qihu is known for his bravery and has a very high vision. He can see Yang Su's ability as a hero. He nodded, which shows that Yang Su is an extraordinary martial arts person.
"Get up, I came here in person, not for your worship." Yang Shuang said with a smile.
Yang Su's tiger body trembled and she looked at Yang Shuang with shock, "I don't know if your highness is..."
"This is Your Highness, King Ming." Han Qinhu immediately introduced.
Yang Su immediately frowned. He was imprisoned in a death row for more than two months, so naturally he didn't know that the prince was deposed and demoted to the Ming Dynasty.
"This king is named Yang Shuang." Yang Shuang reminded him.
Only then did Yang Su understand and even more surprised: "Isn't Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yang Shuang shrugged and said casually: "I made some mistake and my identity as a prince has been deposed."
Although this is self-deprecating, it always has a charm of pretending.
Although Yang Su is extraordinary, she has never experienced such a thing and is a little at a loss.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Yang Shuang took the initiative to explain his purpose: "I heard that you have some skills, and I heard your sister say that you are loyal, brave, filial and kind, so I can't bear to have a pillar of death unjustly. I have seen the whole story of the case and felt it was strange."
Yang Su's eyes immediately turned red, her burly tiger body trembled a little, and her eyes were shining brightly.
When a person is about to die, he can see through too many things.
Yang Su refused to admit that he killed his adoptive father until he died, and insisted that he was wronged, but he accepted his fate because he knew that no one could save him.
Death is not scary to him.
What made him feel sad was his death with infamy and humiliation.
There are so many people in the world, and only my sister believes that she is innocent.
And now?
The noble prince, the former crown prince, actually came to the death row to investigate his case in person.
This trust and care made him feel that he would not regret even though he died.
It is enough to have a confidant when people live without asking everyone to understand it.
"Thank you for your attention, I'm here... I'm here..." At this moment, Yang Su couldn't find any words to express his heart.
Yang Shuang could understand his mood. The ancients were cultivated by benevolence, wisdom, etiquette, righteousness and trust since childhood. Some people sought fame and reputation, while others were loyal, brave, benevolent and filial. In this era, character was the highest standard for measuring a person, unlike in previous lives, which depended on money and power.
People in their previous lives forgot the inheritance of their ancestors, so many people cannot understand the principle of dying for their confidants.
And this inheritance is precisely the backbone of the Chinese historical heritage. If you forget it, it will break the roots of the nation.
Yang Shuang came back to her senses and asked Yang Su to be free and said, "Tell me, tell me the details of your experience in detail, and do not miss any news. Because any clue may be evidence of your innocence."
"The villain understands." Yang Su didn't dare to be careless, so he started from scratch and explained in detail.
Yang Shuang uses his unforgettable brain to record the whole thing in his mind and analyze it.
After analysis, Yang Shuang found that Yang Su did have a quarrel with his adoptive father and was seen by his subordinates in the mansion. However, the reason for the quarrel was indeed as Yang Qing said. Yang Su wanted to join the army, but his adoptive father strongly opposed it.
It is normal for a father and son to have a quarrel, but the document of the Ministry of Justice does not describe the father-son relationship between Yang Su and his adoptive father in detail, which is very mellow. It seems that someone deliberately conceals this and avoids this. The purpose is to highlight the conflict between the father and son and highlight Yang Su's unrepentance.
Secondly, the poison purchased by Yang Su was entrusted by someone, and this person was his adoptive father.
However, when Yang Su called for justice and told the situation, no official who was interrogated did not believe it. He believed that Yang Su had a bad attitude and not only did he not repent, but instead spoke nonsense.
And what if it was the poison his adoptive father asked Yang Su to buy? It's not impossible.
If his father really asked him to buy it, there would inevitably be someone behind him who would use Yang Su's adoptive father again.
The last point is that at the time of the incident, Yang Su drank and talked with his adoptive father. Unexpectedly, his adoptive father died of poisoning, but Yang Su showed no sign of poisoning.
And Yang Su and Yang Su were eating the wine and dishes they wanted to use, why was Yang Su okay?
The above three points are full of doubts.
After analyzing the complete matter, Yang Shuang took the initiative to ask: "Do you have any doubts?"
Yang Su was immediately silent.
"There is no hatred for no reason in the world. The other party poisons your father with your hand, which means that the existence of you and your adoptive father has affected the interests of the murderer behind the scenes, or is a vendetta. You are a smart person and you will have some doubts in your heart. Only when you say it out, I can try my best to save you. Otherwise, you will have to die." Yang Shuang said.
Seeing Yang Su's face change, Yang Shuang, who was proficient in observing words and expressions, understood something and asked directly: "Is the person you suspect your adoptive father's biological son?"
Yang Su suddenly looked up with an incredible look on his face.
"Don't make a fuss. I have just explained the reason for the guess. Since it is not an enemy, it is a benefit. If your adoptive father wants you to inherit the Yang family business, it will inevitably affect the interests of others. And this person is the first of all your adoptive father's biological son. Don't underestimate a person's jealousy." Yang Shuang said quietly.
