When Emperor Tiancheng heard the words of the edict, his eyebrows immediately tightened, and he raised his hand to stop Ning Yi.

"You go down first. Emperor Tiancheng said this to Yu Hai.

Yu Haineng became Kou Xian's first confidant, and he was naturally clever, knowing that there were things that he couldn't let himself know, he didn't dare to be curious at all, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed his head.

"Fan Yun involved the Holy Gate Holy Lord and designed you and Kou Xian to leave the Prison Division with the elites, in order to send Fan Lanruo, who can imitate Yang Xu's handwriting, out and use it as a bargaining chip for Li Yu?"

"Yes. Ning Yi's expression was very steady, "This matter just confirmed Fan Yun's position. ”

"Is there any evidence?" asked Emperor Tiancheng.

The last time Fan Yun had a conversation with Emperor Tiancheng, although Emperor Tiancheng did not completely dispel his suspicions about Fan Yun, he had some doubts about the fact that Fan Yun was Li Yu's person.

Before Ning Yi could reply, Cheng Yan's voice sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do." ”

Emperor Tiancheng frowned, he wanted Cheng Yan to wait, but listening to Cheng Yan's voice seemed to be quite urgent, I am afraid it is really important to make Cheng Yan such a calm and serious person like this.

"Come in. ”

Cheng Yan immediately strode into the hall, and said eagerly while saluting: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Kou's father-in-law had an accident. ”

"Is this what you want to do?" Emperor Tiancheng was in a very bad mood, and after seeing Cheng Yan come in, he asked about Kou Xian, and said impatiently.

Cheng Yan hurriedly said: "What the minister wants is another matter! Two hours ago, someone from the Criminal Prison Department moved a large box out of the palace, saying that he was ordered by Kou Gonggong to carry out a confidential mission, and the palace gate guards knew that many of the tasks of the Criminal Prison Department could not be publicized, and those two people were holding Kou Gonggong's token, so they let go without checking the box. But if Gonggong Kou had been killed two hours ago, then these two people were afraid that they had been given a false order! The person who had just left the head came to report that after Gonggong Yu went out of the palace, he urgently asked them for the list of people who had entered and exited the palace gate today, saying that there were important prisoners in the prison department who had escaped. ”

"You mean, the prisoner escaped from the palace by hiding in a box?" asked Emperor Tiancheng with an ugly face.

Yichen speculated that this was the case. Cheng Yan said and lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on one knee, and said with a glance, "The city gate guards are under the jurisdiction of the ministers, and this matter is a dereliction of duty by the ministers, which led to the escape of the criminals, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"

Emperor Tiancheng didn't let Cheng Yan get up, he looked at Ning Yi's empty waist, and his tone was a little heavy, "Tokens, the tokens of the Criminal Prison Division, not only Kou Xian has them." ”

Ning Yi calmly took out a token from his sleeve and presented it, Emperor Tiancheng took it and looked at it a few times, and threw it back to Ning Yi, "Your token is still there, if the token in the hands of those two people is either forged, it is Kou Xian's." ”

There are only two tokens that can leave the palace unimpeded, one in the hands of the division and one in the hands of the deputy division.

Cheng Yan said loudly: "Although the subordinates are incompetent, they still have eyesight, and that token cannot be forged, and the ministers are willing to use the head of the item to guarantee it." ”

Ning Yi glanced at Cheng Yan, "After discovering that the key criminal was missing, the ministers immediately interrogated several people, a chamberlain named Wu Liang confessed, in order to facilitate Fan Yun to pass on the news, Kou Si Zheng gave his token to Fan Yun, Fan Yun is afraid that he used this token to let his people pretend to be people from the Criminal Prison Division to enter the palace and take away the important criminal." His Majesty can ask Yu Hai if this is indeed the case, and the chamberlain named Wu Liang is Yu Hai's confidant and has always acted on his orders. ”

"Cheng Yan, you go. Emperor Tiancheng waved his hand at Cheng Yan.

"Yes. Cheng Yan got up and took the order.

"Kou Xian has followed me for many years and has always been loyal, if the truth is as you say, what conditions do you say Fan Yun used to impress him, so that he betrayed me?" Emperor Tiancheng seemed to ask Ning Yi casually.

Ning Yi: "Father-in-law Kou's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen day by day, no matter what conditions Fan Yun gives, the person who believes in Father-in-law Kou's loyalty is always Your Majesty." ”

"You would actually say good things for Kou Xian?" Emperor Tiancheng was a little surprised.

"Although the ministers did not agree with Ko Sizheng, they never doubted his loyalty to His Majesty. Ning Yi's tone was respectful, but it didn't sound like there were any ups and downs, "At the beginning, Kou Xian wanted to buy off the ministers, and the condition given was to join forces to get rid of Kou Sizheng and help me take charge of the Prison Division alone. In addition, he still has a lot of power outside the palace, which can help me make meritorious contributions and consolidate my favor in front of His Majesty. These words that Fan Yun said were written by the ministers in the confession to be presented to His Majesty before, word for word. ”

Emperor Tiancheng thought about it, but he was stunned, "I thought that he was an old minister of the two dynasties, and he wanted to leave some leeway, so he didn't uproot his power over the years, but he used my kindness to buy my henchmen, which is really worthy of Fan Yun!"

Ning Yi stood with his hands down and stopped talking.

After Cheng Yan asked Yu Hai and Wu Liang respectively, he immediately came back and reported to Emperor Tiancheng: "Your Majesty, what Deputy Ning Si said is true, Gonggong Kou's token was indeed lent to Lord Fan, and Lord Fan used this token face to secretly meet with the henchmen who kept the Holy Gate Order. ”

Emperor Tiancheng seemed to have expected this result, and snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Retry Fan Yun and the Fan family, and let them hand over Fan Lanruo, I may be able to consider leaving them alive. Emperor Tiancheng ordered Ning Yi.

"Yes. Ning Yi bowed and withdrew.

Emperor Tiancheng looked at Cheng Yan again, "Quickly investigate inside and outside the palace, control all the people involved in the Fan family, and ask about Fan Lanruo's whereabouts at all costs." In addition, when the Holy Gate Lord found out his identity, I really wanted to see who he was. ”

"Obey. Cheng Yan also took the order to retreat.

Fan Yun didn't expect that things did not develop according to his arrangement, but took a sharp turn for the worse.

After Ning Yi returned to the Criminal Prison Division, he ordered Yuan Xi to continue to interrogate the Fan family, and Yuan Xi interrogated him sleeplessly for a day and night, without asking about Fan Lanruo's whereabouts.

Ning Yi retouched their confessions and reported them, and Emperor Tiancheng was furious after reading it, and decided that the Fan family was loyal to the Jin Palace, and he did not repent when he died, and ordered Ning Yi not to keep his hand on the Fan family, and continue to judge, regardless of life or death.

Fan Yun was forced to be anxious when he heard the screams of his children and grandchildren, and knelt in the prison and kowtowed, begging to see Emperor Tiancheng. In order to attract attention, some confidential things that he originally wanted to leave as bargaining chips also began to be talked about.

It's a pity that Kou Xian is dead, and several of Kou Xian's henchmen also let Ning Yi take the opportunity to transfer out, and the current Criminal Prison Department can be said to be Ning Yi's world alone, even if Fan Yun said something that Emperor Tiancheng was interested in, no one reported it to him, Fan Yun really called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective.
