That day, Ning Chen was in the cell, holding a piece of hay in his hand, chopping, sweeping, or picking... his moves were continuous. This is the Ghost Shadow Thirteen Knives. Just then, several people wearing fish scale clothes came. I heard the cell door next door open, and someone said: "Tao Qizhi, your death is coming." Ning Chen froze, Tao Qizhi was going to be executed today. With a dragging sound, Tao Qizhi was dragged out. Ning Chen rushed to the cell door and looked out. Although they have known each other for a long time, there is a wall between them, so no one can see each other? This is the first time Ning Chen saw Tao Qizhi. He was in tattered clothes, and his exposed skin was full of scars, which were left after being tortured.
His hair was disheveled, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. His legs were broken and he could not walk... Despite this, he still wore heavy handcuffs and shackles. Tao Qizhi also looked at Ning Chen at this time. His eyes were bright, without any fear. "Brothers, wait a minute, can I have a few words with him?" A man in a fish-scale suit turned his head and glanced at Ning Chen, and said coldly: "Stay still, it will be your turn soon... When you get downstairs, you can talk slowly." "He shouldn't be beheaded, he is a hero." Ning Chen roared. The people from the Supervisory Department ignored him. Tao Qizhi laughed and said: "Boy, live well, I'll go first!" Tao Qizhi was not afraid of death and faced it calmly. He was dragged away. Ning Chen clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, but he was powerless to stop. "Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero...Old Tao, have a good journey!" Ning Chen roared. "Hahaha...Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero, well said, I can still meet such an interesting boy like you before I die, it's worth my trip to this world!" Tao Qizhi's heroic voice came. ....... The next day, Geng Jing came to Ning Chen's cage. Because Ning Chen hadn't eaten since Tao Qizhi was taken away yesterday.
His Majesty had repeatedly warned him not to treat Ning Chen badly. If he got hungry and died, how would he explain to His Majesty? Ning Chen sat in a corner, his eyes dull. Was this kid scared silly by Tao Qizhi's beheading? "Lan Xing, why don't you eat?" Geng Jing knocked on the cell door and asked. Ning Chen remained silent. Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "Do you want to starve yourself to death?" Ning Chen raised his head, sneered, and said: "It's going to be a death anyway. If you starve to death, at least you can leave a whole body." Geng Jing's mouth twitched, thinking that if you starve to death, I'm afraid I will have to be buried with you. "You don't eat, is it because of Tao Qizhi?" Ning Chen looked at him coldly, "He shouldn't die." "He killed the magistrate of Zhenyuan County and his family of seven. Ten deaths is not too much." Ning Chen said angrily: "You should know why he killed the magistrate of Zhenyuan County and his family of seven?" Geng Jing said: "No matter what the reason is? If you kill someone, you must pay with your life." "But did he kill people? He just killed a few beasts." Ning Chen stood up, walked to the cage, stared at Geng Jing, and said: "Don't you always claim to be fair and just in your Supervisory Department?" "Does your fairness and justice mean using the lives of good people to pay for the lives of beasts?" "Your so-called fairness and justice is a joke. You are just evil ghosts in the ghost hell who don't distinguish right from wrong... It's more appropriate to change the name of this Supervisory Department to the Stupid Department." Geng Jing's face darkened a little bit. "Lan Xing, what qualifications do you have to teach us how to do things?" Ning Chen's face was full of sarcasm, and he said, "I can't help a bunch of idiots. I just simply despise you and look down on you from the bottom of my heart." "My lord, I'll give you a poem? It's free, no money... You can just carve this poem on the gate of the Supervisory Department." Geng Jing realized that Ning Chen would not say anything good? But Ning Chen was very talented, so he still wanted to know the poem? "What poem?" Ning Chen smiled slightly and said, "My lord, please listen carefully...A needle is forged after thousands of hammers, and it is upside down on the cloth. The eyes are on the buttocks, and they only recognize the clothes and not the people." Geng Jing's face turned blue and white, not to mention how ugly it was.
He secretly cursed himself for being cheap, why did he ask? The first two sentences were satirizing the people in their Supervisory Department, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, curried favor with the powerful, and reversed black and white. The last two sentences were very straightforward, equivalent to directly scolding. Ning Chen continued, "Sir, the name of this poem is "Ode to the Supervisory Department". Are you satisfied?" Geng Jing's old face was ashen with anger. The Supervisory Department's reputation is already bad enough. If this poem spreads, I'm afraid that the people in the Supervisory Department and their ancestors will be scolded... The entire Supervisory Department will be infamous for thousands of years. This kid is too mean. He wants to nail the Supervisory Department to the pillar of shame in history. If it weren't for Emperor Xuan's words, he would have let Ning Chen taste the torture of the Supervisory Department... At least he would have broken his teeth. Geng Jing's fingers trembled with anger, pointing at Ning Chen and saying viciously: "You... wait for death!" After that, he left with a wave of his sleeves. "Sir, wait." Geng Jing stopped and looked back at him. Ning Chen smiled slightly and said, "Sir, say thank you." Geng Jing's face twitched. He now wanted to cut off Ning Chen's arms and legs. "Lan Xing, I advise you to eat well, at least you can be a full ghost... In a few days, you will be beheaded at Caishikou." Geng Jing said, and left quickly, worried that if he stayed any longer, Ning Chen would be angry to death. "Fuck... You have no manners at all. I gave you a poem, but you didn't even take the money, and you didn't even say thank you." Ning Chen complained a few words, walked back and sat down in the corner. He still didn't touch the food. Although Tao Qizhi only met him once, he had the grace of teaching him art...Ning Chen decided to keep vigil for him for three days, without eating or drinking. In a few days, it will be his turn to be beheaded. Ning Chen was not afraid, but looked forward to it...It's better to die than to be locked up here forever. ...... The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study. Emperor Xuan held a piece of rice paper with words on it. "Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero... Good poem, but unfortunately there are only two lines." "This bastard, such a good poem was actually given to a gangster who kills and robs... It's really a waste of heaven." Emperor Xuan was very angry. Such a good poem should be used on him as an emperor.
"The eyes grow on the buttocks, only recognize the clothes and not the person, hahaha..." When reading these two lines, Emperor Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud. Geng Jing, who was standing under the dragon case, twitched his face. Is it funny? What's so funny about this? Emperor Xuan laughed louder and louder. Geng Jing couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Supervisory Department is your Majesty's Supervisory Department. Ning Chen's poem clearly despises the majesty of heaven and ignores the imperial power. He should be severely punished." Emperor Xuan glanced at him, "Do you mean that this poem is scolding me?" Geng Jing was scared and sweated. He was angry just now and said something he didn't want to say. He fell to his knees and said in fear, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean that." Emperor Xuan snorted coldly. "Do I need to recognize the clothes and not the people? This poem is scolding your Supervisory Department, which has nothing to do with me." Geng Jing thought that the Supervisory Department is your Supervisory Department, and you are being a bit dishonest. But he only dared to think about it in his heart, and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty is wise!" Suddenly, Emperor Xuan's smile faded. "I have some impression of the murder of the seven members of the family of the magistrate of Zhenyuan County. Tell me more about the details." Geng Jing said, "After the incident, I immediately asked someone to investigate. The magistrate of Zhenyuan County did make up a pretext to bully the people...but the person was already dead. At that time, I was eager to arrest Tao Qizhi, so I didn't dig deeper into this matter." Emperor Xuan nodded, indicating that he knew. "By the way, you just said that Ning Chen hadn't eaten for two days?" Geng Jing said hurriedly, "Yes!" Emperor Xuan's face sank.
