Yes!
Gong Shilin was stubborn!
If it weren't for his stubbornness, he wouldn't have come here.
As long as he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't kill anyone," he might be able to avoid this disaster.
Now, he took a few steps back.
He distanced himself from Na Tuo.
"Ah Tuo, go!"
"Shilin …" His attitude was firm. "Nothing can save me from the crimes I have committed. Even if you take me away from here and send me away from Gao Ding to save my life, so what? The Second Duke will definitely report you to the King and charge you with jailbreaking and shielding! As a Duke, you knowingly broke the law, which will make you even more guilty.
At that time, all your previous efforts will be in vain. Is it worth it to ruin your position as the Crown Prince for me? "
Was it worth it?
Hearing his question, Na Tuo was silent.
Maybe, as soon as he took Gong Shilin away, Na Yan would report it to the King of Huyi. Even if he sent Gong Shilin out of Gao Ding overnight to save his life, he would be the one who would get into trouble in the end.
After a while.
Na Tuo said, "Okay, since you don't want to go with me, then I will think of another way to save you. In short, I will never let you die."
"Why don't you understand?"
"What should I understand? Watch you die and collect your corpse? "
Gong Shilin grabbed his arm and said in a persuasive tone, "What you should do now is not to think of a way to save me. But to get away from me. The cleaner, the better. Only in this way, the Second Duke won't be able to catch you! Do you understand? "
"Bullsh * t!"
Na Tuo raised his arm.
He shook him off.
He said excitedly, "How dare you say that. Who do you think I, Na Tuo, am?"
"This is a trade-off. You have to do this."
"Don't say it."
"You took my hands and feet, but I'm the same. How can I watch you ruin your future for me? Now, I beg you, please let me die in peace. "Gong Shilin's cheeks trembled.
His eyes turned red.
After hearing these words, Na Tuo's chest rose and fell.
He opened his mouth, but could not utter a single word! Gong Shilin looked at him and said, "I'll also have to trouble you to help me tell my father to take good care of himself. He doesn't need to worry about me anymore. I killed someone, so I have to pay with my life. In this life, I won't be able to be filial by my father's side. I'll also have to ask you to help me … send him on his way.
。”
His voice trembled.
Then, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Na Tuo held back his tears and frowned.
Looking at the person in front of him, his heart ached.
His hands were clenched into fists, trembling.
It was as if he was going to crush his own bones.
He took a deep breath and was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
"How can I ask someone else to do it for me? Gong Shilin, oh Gong Shilin, you're forcing me to be an unjust person! "
The heavy voice echoed in the cell.
It lingered for a long time.
Who could understand their deep friendship?
In the end, Na Tuo still left.
Gong Shilin stood alone in the cell. His body was exhausted. His legs had lost strength, and he fell to the ground weakly.
He leaned against the wooden pillar and looked up at the square and narrow window above the stone wall.
It was already dark outside.
Occasionally, a few snowflakes would fly in and splash onto his face.
Cold.
It was bone-piercingly cold!
He closed his eyes.
There was no fear or panic in his heart.
Instead, he felt relieved.
Na Tuo walked out of the Ministry of Justice's prison and hid the pain in his heart in his cold eyes.
He glared at Liu He, who was waiting outside, and said fiercely, "Listen, if anything happens to Gong Shilin in prison, I will not only remove your official hat, but I will also bury the entire Liu family."
It was a blatant threat!
Then, he left with his men.
Liu He was really sweating!
He was afraid that the Third Prince would really take him away.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm!
In fact, he was also very conflicted and conflicted.
To be more precise, he was in a difficult position.
Gong Shilin had committed a capital crime. Logically speaking, he was the temporary Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he should be the judge of the case.
He should have written the word "execution" at the end of the file as soon as possible.
But —
The person who was going to be executed now was not someone else!
It was Gong Shilin!
He thought that if Gong Shilin thought of a way to ask the King of Huyi for mercy, it was possible to spare Gong Shilin's life.
Or the Third Prince also thought of some other way to save him.
Then Gong Shilin could be spared.
Therefore, Liu He really did not dare to write the word "execution" until the end!
For now, he could only wait …
At this time, in the dark not far away, a carriage was parked.
The person in the carriage was lifting the curtain and looking in the direction that Na Tuo had just left.
It was not until the procession went far away that he gradually retracted his narrowed eyes.
Na Yan didn't expect this. He was waiting to see a good show, but he didn't get to see it.
Instead, he let the opportunity to turn the tables slip away!
The guard who was driving the carriage turned around and said, "Your Highness, I thought that we could watch the Third Prince break the prison. When the time comes, we can use this to catch him off guard. I didn't expect that he would leave just like that. He didn't even save the prisoner!"
Na Yan snorted coldly, "He is an idiot! The others are not fools! "
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Gong Shilin is a smart man. He naturally knows what the consequences will be. That's why he tried his best to persuade Tuo to give up on the idea."
"What do we do now?"
"That Tuo has a good relationship with Gong Shilin. They are as close as brothers. He will definitely not just watch him die. He will definitely think of other ways to save him."
"Your Highness is right!" Na Yan narrowed his eyes with a smile on his lips. He looked into the distance once more and said, "He wants to save someone, but I won't let him have his way. As the saying goes, when the Emperor breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as the common people. Furthermore, Gong Shilin's crime was a capital offense. Whoever dared to interfere in this matter would be asking for trouble! As long as Tuo dares
If I save him, This King will find a chance to make him unable to rise again! "
His tone was extremely fierce.
He then put down the curtain and said, "Let's go back to the residence."
The carriage moved forward.
Gradually, it disappeared into the darkness!
…
At the same time, four hours had passed since Minister Gong entered the palace.
He had been kneeling outside the main hall.
He requested to see the King of Huyi.
The King of Huyi naturally knew why he was here.
It was nothing more than to plead for his son.
Under such circumstances, how could the King of Huyi see him?
The eunuch went in to report several times, but the answer he brought back was the same, "Prime Minister, the King is not feeling well. It is not convenient to summon you in."
However, Minister Gong was unwilling to leave and continued to kneel.
He had to see the King to get a chance to save Gong Shilin.
In the end, the eunuch was too lazy to go in to report.
Until Li Qiao came out of the hall.
