可一定要说服他!”
“请丞相放心!”于是,这二人分道而去。
暂且不说陈田中如何去面见皇上,只说这耶无害顺着陈丞相的指引,来到这院内的天牢,请监狱侍卫轻而易举地便打开了关押朝廷重犯赵高云的牢门。于是,他胸怀胆荡地走向了赵高云。
····························································································
“皇上!”只见陈田中闪着狐目◎◎向天子禀报道:“据有目击者来报,耶无害去了关押朝廷重犯赵高云的牢房,是不是他会放了赵高云?”
“噢?!……”程福贵闻听一惊,继而笑道:“这倒不会!耶无害顶多是去看看他罢了。”
“皇上!据说耶无害在骊山曾经向皇上为此人求情,事到如今一直未放出此人,想必他耶无害一直怀恨在心,他便有意要私放朝廷犯。”
闻听陈田中的这阵言辞,程福贵不禁自语道:“赵高云是刺杀朕的重犯,罪该万死!至今朕尚未下旨杀他,已经是宽宏大量。如若耶无害想要放他,他为什么不向朕当面说及此事?难道朕不会答应他吗?”
然而,事情并非天子所想象的那么简单。他哪里知道,很快就有令人意想不到的事要发生。
····························································································
“耶无害!你不要在这假仁假义!你夺走了我心爱的阮晓峰,我一定会报此夺妻之仇!”
“你不要再提她!”耶无害心如刀铰地喝道:“她已经被阮南山杀害!”
“我不信!我不信!”赵高云发疯似地号叫起来。就在耶无害一愣神之际,赵高云竟不知何时早已打开脚镣手铐,撞开耶无害,飞身逃出狱外。
····························································································
“皇上!皇上!不好了!朝廷重犯赵高云被耶侍卫给放跑了。”只见一位老太监匆匆闯进了殿内。
“什么?竟有此事?”程福贵简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。
“李公公!”只见陈田中上前说道“你可是亲眼所见?否则可是欺君之罪!”
“我是亲眼所见!决无半句虚言!”李公公扯着阴阳怪腔、气喘吁吁地高叫道。
“好!既是如此,你们随朕亲自去察看一番!”
“奴才遵旨!”
于是,天子随着李公公一道走出了紫宸殿。在其身后,丞相陈田中不禁缓缓露出了得意之光!
····························································································
话说耶无害在天牢之内试欲说服赵高云归顺朝廷,他万万没料到他竟会来这一手,趁机飞身潜逃了!待到他追出天牢之外,哪里还有那只“太行野猴”的影子?想必凭此人绝好的轻功,他早已越出大明宫的高墙之外。坏了!私放朝廷重犯,这可是犯下杀头的弥天大罪。这可如何是好呢?
“耶无害!你为何将死犯赵高云放掉?”
“皇上!”只见耶无害俯身跪下,道:“是微臣一时疏忽,让他跑掉。请皇上治臣于一死!”
“算了!”程福贵却弯身双手扶起耶无害,说道:“朕都已经特赦你为无罪的杀手,又岂会在乎你放了一个犯人,朕怎么会因为这么点小事而治你一死呢!不过死罪可免,活罪难饶!朕以后不准你再走出三清殿半步,你只要闭在其中书写你的一部《乱世英魂》化作《三猫流浪记》和《人生流浪》,朕等着要看下文!”
“多谢皇上厚爱!微臣一定遵旨照办!”
此情此景,躲在暗角之处的陈田中全全看在眼中、听在耳里。他不禁叹口气,道:“唉!谋事在人,成事在天!算他耶无害福大命大,果然是没有害成,命不该绝矣!”
说完,陈田中犹若幽灵一般地消失。
