Chapter 011: Wronged Imprisonment

"Don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look and try it, the new store is open, buy one get one free!"

On the crowded street, Cheng Jingjing stood under a willow tree and kept shouting, and the passing crowd was quickly attracted by the food that had never been seen before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw that Cheng Jingjing's stall was lined with French fries, chicken wings, hamburger pizza and other Western-style meals, which were not only novel in appearance but also exuded bursts of fragrance, and people passing by stopped to taste and buy them.

Seeing that her purse would soon be full, Cheng Jingjing happily counted the money, planning whether to rent a house and open a restaurant in the future, and then set up a chain store to join when she had saved enough, and she would be a little rich woman by then.

These days, she has set up a simple kitchen in her own courtyard, and usually buries her head in it to cook Western food when she has nothing to do, although the taste is not as good as what she has eaten before, but it is more than enough to deal with ancient people.

Every morning, she dragged the stall car to the willow tree on Suzaku Street, and it didn't take long for many people to come to buy her meals, and the queue was longer and longer.

In order to increase the price of what she makes, Cheng Jingjing has always adhered to the principle of daily limited sales. First, it is to reduce his burden, and secondly, he wants to pack up his things and go back to the palace as soon as possible to work.

"Jingjing, I heard that the food you make is becoming more and more popular?"

In the Youlan Courtyard, Wen Miao asked while rubbing the guqin.

"Who did you say?" Cheng Jingjing didn't expect to become famous so soon, and said excitedly: "Even people like you know that you don't have to go out of the door, so am I about to get rich?"

"Look at you," Wen Miao kindly reminded her: "As a woman, you still have to stay in the house with peace of mind, see you running around like a man all day long, what if something happens." ”

"Oh, I don't know how San'er is doing during this time, I heard that she has become an imperial concubine now. Seeing that Wen Miao began to talk to her again, Cheng Jingjing hurriedly turned her head to look away.

Wen Miao had no choice but to sigh.

Just as the two were chatting, they suddenly heard a noisy footstep outside the courtyard, and then Zhuang Hanxue appeared at their door with a group of officers and soldiers.

"Sister Zhuang, what's wrong?" Wen Miao stood up in surprise to greet him.

"Did you make this thing?" asked a leading officer holding up a bag of things.

Cheng Jingjing saw that the thing in the paper bag was the food she sold, her heart sank, and she said, "I did it alone, what happened?"

"Someone has been poisoned by eating what you are selling," the leading officer and soldier shouted, "Someone, arrest her for me." ”

"Who died of poisoning? The things I made were clean, and you didn't dare to arrest people without evidence?!"

Seeing Cheng Jingjing resisting desperately, Wen Miao hurriedly begged for help from Zhuang Hanxue, who was watching coldly: "Ask my sister to save my maid, she has never hurt people, there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Sister, don't rush to make a conclusion," Zhuang Hanxue said: "They are not without evidence, now that the prince is not in the house, this princess can only act impartially, whether she has the intention of harming others will go to the criminal department." ”

"Jingjing!"

Watching the officers and soldiers forcibly take Cheng Jingjing out, Wen Miao was stunned for a while, and her legs were weak and fell to the ground.

Cheng Jingjing was detained all the way to the Criminal Department, racking her brains and couldn't think of who she had poisoned and killed. Every process is done by herself, and there will be no chance for people to poison it. Who was unlucky enough to eat and poison to death, and threw the black pot on her head.

After coming to the territory of the Criminal Department, Cheng Jingjing was taken directly to the dungeon where the prisoners were held. Before she could react, two hideous-looking jailers tied her up.

"Got someone?" At this moment, a Lang Zhong walked in, followed by a cell head who nodded and bowed.

"My lord, what happened to this slut and want you to interrogate it personally?" the cell boss asked cautiously, "Is it related to the case reported by the Chen family today?"

"Exactly," Lang Zhong, surnamed Shi, instructed: "Lord Shilang has an order, let her confess before this evening, and as for what method to use, let's do it as usual." ”

"The little one understands. ”

The cell boss sent Shi Langzhong away, and immediately turned to the two jailers and said, "You have all heard what Lord Shi said, hurry up and let this slut tell her confession!"

"What kind of confession, I didn't harm anyone at all!" At this time, Cheng Jingjing glared at him angrily and said: "You didn't even try the case, so you decided that I was a prisoner, and you were charged with the crime privately without going through any procedures, be careful that I sue the Inspectorate!"

"Yo, your mouth is really powerful. The cell boss sneered, pointed to a pile of torture instruments next to him and said, "Wait until you have suffered this pile of things and then shout injustice, the yellow-haired girl who is not afraid of death." You two are still standing here in a daze, let's do it!"

After receiving the order from the cell leader, the jailer picked up a blood-stained black long whip and swung it at Cheng Jingjing.

"Smack-" A fierce whip sound exploded in Cheng Jingjing's ears, which immediately made her skin open and her flesh bloomed, and she couldn't breathe in pain, only feeling like someone had poured hot oil on her chest. Although she is not a delicate and expensive princess, she can't bear the power of this nine-foot long whip, and after a few whips, her eyes are black and she faints to death.

With a "bang", the jailer splashed cold water on her to wake her up.

"This whip is not comfortable, isn't it?" the cell boss grabbed Cheng Jingjing's head and asked, "Recruit it early, otherwise there will be more powerful waiting for you later!"

"I ......" Cheng Jingjing gasped hard, stared at the bloody eyes and said to the cell boss: "I'll fuck your mother!"

"You dare to be hard-mouthed!" the cell boss slapped her viciously, then took out a stick from the corner and put it on Cheng Jingjing's ten fingers.

Cheng Jingjing, who was already weak, could not stand such a toss, and after screaming a few times, she completely fainted.

"Boss, it seems like you're running out of breath. The jailer stretched out his finger and probed Cheng Jingjing's snort.

"Throw her to prison for the time being," said the cell boss impatiently, "don't wait for no confession to be made, and she will die." Last time, Lord Shangshu punished us once, so this time it's better to be careful. ”

"However, Lord Shi just said that Lord Shirou will get a confession before evening...... Then we ......," the jailer asked tentatively.

"They're all adults, so do you know which one is bigger?!" the cell boss glared at him.

"The little one knows. ”

The jailer hurriedly untied the rope on Cheng Jingjing's body, and then the two of them worked together to carry her to the cell door and throw her in.

On the other side, in King An's mansion, Wen Miao, who had been guarding the gate, finally waited for Yang An to come back, and the third prince Yang Yi appeared at the same time.

"Lord Wang, something happened to Jingjing!" Wen Miao didn't wait for the other party to step into the threshold, so she ran over crying.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her crying so much, Yang An hugged her.

"Today, a team of officers and soldiers from the Criminal Department came, saying that Jingjing had poisoned someone to death, and arrested Jingjing without saying anything. I see that they look vicious, Jingjing must be more auspicious now!"

After listening to Wen Miao's words, Yang Yi hurriedly said: "Second brother, it's not child's play for the criminal department to arrest people, if you don't save her, this little girl probably won't be able to survive tonight." ”

Wen Miao was so frightened when she heard this that her tears stopped for a while, and she looked at the two of them blankly.

"You go back to the palace first," Yang An thought for a moment and said, "I have some friendship with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, first rescue the people, and then ask what is going on." ”

"I'll go with you!" Yang Yi said anxiously.

Yang An nodded, and the two rode their horses to the criminal department together. This scene happened to be seen by Huanxi in the distance, and she hurriedly turned around and ran back to Furong Courtyard.

"What?!Wen Miao told the prince about Cheng Jingjing's arrest?!"

After listening to the happy words, Long Yu'er gritted her teeth in anger and swept the things on the table to the ground.

"The princess is angry," Huan Xi hurriedly said: "Isn't there still your brother Lord Long in the Criminal Department, he will definitely not let Cheng Jingjing's dead girl go easily." ”

"If the prince doesn't know about this, everything will be easy," Long Yu'er said hatefully: "It must be that cheap woman who is Wen Miao saying soft words in the prince's ear, this princess really underestimates her! But this time she entered the dungeon of the Criminal Department, Cheng Jingjing's little girl is not guilty of capital crimes, and she cannot escape the crime of living!"

"That's what the princess said. Huanxi said as he poured her a cup of tea to relieve her anger.

When Yang An and Yang Yi came to the gate of the Criminal Department, they didn't wait for the guards at the door to ask, and went straight in. Shi Langzhong, who greeted him with a courteous face, bent down and saluted and asked, "What is the matter with the two princes coming to our criminal department?"

"Lord Shi, was there a maid in this king's mansion who was taken away today?"

Seeing Yang An looking at him with sharp eyes, Shi Langzhong replied timidly: "There is indeed such a thing, but the lower officials are also acting on orders." Early this morning, there was a report that someone ate something under the willow tree on the corner of the street and was poisoned to death, and our Lord Long saw that food poisoning was a big deal, so he ordered the villain to investigate all the way, and found the little maid in your house. ”

"It turns out that this is the order of Lord Dragon. Yang Yi on the side sneered.

"Where are you now?" Yang An asked.

"Well, I'm in the women's dungeon for now...... Wait, Lord An, wait a minute!"

Shi Langzhong wanted to step forward to stop Yang An, who was going to the dungeon, but was pulled by Yang Yi: "Lord Shi, don't stop the second prince if you are a civil official who has no power to restrain the chicken, what if he crushes his chest with one palm, you also know that my second brother has been learning martial arts with a famous teacher since he was a child, and no one in this court is his opponent except General Long." ”

After listening to Yang Yi's words, Shi Langzhong could only nod timidly and say yes, and after making a salute, he hurriedly went to the side of Long Yuanchi, the servant of the Criminal Department, to report the news.

When Yang An came to the dungeon, the jailers were injured by him before they could react, and the rest knew that they were not the opponent of Prince An, so they automatically gave way to the ground.

"Lord An, who are you?" The cell boss saw Yang An come to the door of Cheng Jingjing's cell, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Get out of the way. Yang An said expressionlessly: "I don't want to open the prison door, so take out the key." ”
