Chapter 80 Visitation

When it was approaching evening, Xiao Wu quietly came to Zunchen's mansion and said that Lord Zhuo had already arranged it, and he would go to the prison of the Criminal Department at four o'clock tomorrow night. Lord Zhuo will arrange a qiē so that Ran Ning doesn't have to worry.

Ran Ning nodded, there were very few people on the road at this time, and it was convenient for her to go out.

"Young lady, will I accompany you tomorrow?" Xiao Wu said.

"No, I have something for you to do." There are not many people available to her, and some things still have to be handled by Xiao Wu to rest assured.

"You say." Xiao Wu does not shirk it, it is the key to be able to return the innocence of his master and rescue his master.

"After dinner, you go to the Yuan Mansion and the Capital Mansion, quietly, let Yuan Gongzi help stabilize the situation in the court, and tell Du Gongzi to try to let Lord Xu take over this case, and Lord Xu will try the case, so that I can rest assured." Ran Ning analyzed the current situation, grandfather and father probably don't even have to go to the early dynasty, so if you want to stabilize the middle of the court, you have to rely on the Yuan family to contribute, as for whether other adults help, this Ran Ning can't guarantee it, she can only treat them as a condition, if she helps, it's good, if she doesn't help her, she has to be prepared, "After arranging these, you will go back to the house, I will go to Bizhu and pretend that I will stay in the Qingfeng Courtyard, you go to cooperate with her." ”

Others may not know what maids are around Ran Ning, but Zhong Su has a powerful little girl Xiao Wu by his side, there must be many people who know, if Xiao Wu is in the house, she can also let others relax their vigilance and facilitate her actions.

"Yes, don't worry, the small ones will be done." Xiao Wu assured.

Ran Ning nodded, and said, "Also, keep an eye on the eldest young master and always pay attention to his every move." In addition, it is more convenient to call all the secret guards who have no tasks to the master. ”

"Yes, the little ones will do it." Xiao Wu responded.

"Be careful yourself. You may not be able to come out when you go back to the house, and you have to discuss it with your grandfather and father in case of trouble. Ran Ning reminded him. Although Xiao Wu didn't follow her, after getting along for so long, Ran Ning didn't treat him as an outsider.

"Yes, the little one will go first, and the young lady should be careful."

"Hmm."

Xiao Wu bowed and left, he had a lot of things to do, so naturally the sooner he could do it, the better.

Zunchen arranged a guest room for Ran Ning, Ran Ning is not a person who has no ability to take care of herself, even if there is no one to serve, she herself is not a problem.

When people are in a hurry to wait, time seems to move very slowly. During the day the next day, there was no news, and the secret guard also arrived, arranged by Zunchen, and Ran Ning's mind was all on the matter of seeing Zhong Su at night.

Finally got through the time, Ran Ning took the carriage from the Zunchen Mansion to the prison of the Criminal Department, accompanied by two secret guards.

As soon as the car stopped, the jailer who was waiting there greeted him, "But from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" ”

"Exactly." Ran Ning wore a hood and did not show her face.

The jailer didn't mind, so he took Ran Ning in.

Ran Ning remembered that the last time she went to prison was to see the previous Le Qing, it was in the prison of Dali Temple. The prison of the Criminal Department is completely different from that of Dali Temple, the bloody atmosphere in it is very medium, and you can hear wailing from time to time, coupled with the cold and damp, there is always a creepy feeling.

Turning around, the jailer took Ran Ning to a relatively quiet prison area, pointed to the innermost room, and said, "That's it, the girl should go by herself." ”

"Thank you." Ran Ning took out a heavy money bag and gave it to the jailer.

The jailer smiled and walked away. Those who do such an errand as theirs, although they often turn day and night upside down, and because of the heavy humidity, they often have backaches and leg pains, but if they can catch silver, it must be a lot of money, and it is worth it.

Ran Ning walked over quickly, Zhong Su had good ears, he had already heard Ran Ning's voice, and when Ran Ning came over, he was already waiting for her by the wooden fence.

"Xianggong." Seeing Zhong Su, Ran Ning's previous worries and thoughts found a place.

Zhong Su is no different from when he left, he was not tortured, and although his complexion was not good, he was still in good spirits.

"Why are you here?" Zhong Su knew that Ran Ning must have her own way, but she always had to ask.

"I entrusted Zuo Shangle's father, Master Zhuo." Ran Ning put her hand into the wooden fence, touched his face, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Zhong Su comforted. As soon as he arrived here, the secretary of the criminal department informed him of the specific process and details of the incident, and also showed him the evidence and the testimony of the eldest prince.

"yes, I know." She won't let Zhong Su have anything to do.

Zhong Su looked at Ran Ning and asked, "Mu Yi said that the Hou Mansion has been surrounded, and my grandfather and father have been grounded in the mansion, how did you get out?" ”

"How did you find out?" The siege of the house was already after Zhong Su left.

"Mu Yi came to see me in the afternoon and told me." Zhong Su replied.

Ran Ning nodded and told Zhong Su all the arrangements she had made.

Zhong Su held Ran Ning's hand, Ran Ning's arrangement was not incomplete, which could not only hide people's eyes and ears, but also facilitate her activities in private.

"Hengyang asked Mu Yi to bring me a letter, saying that in the early days of the dynasty, the emperor mentioned my matter, and before Hengyang and his father General An Yuan came out, the right minister came out first to protect me, as well as Lord Xu, the secretary of the military department, Kang Shunhou and others. After that, except for the leftist faction, all the ministers came out to second. The emperor's anger seems to have subsided a lot, and Lord Xu took the opportunity to take the initiative to ask for an order, and the matter was handed over to Lord Xu to investigate, but I still have to stay in the prison of the Criminal Department. Zhong Su simply said what Du Muyi brought to him, "Hengyang said that he would take someone to find out who framed me, and he would come to see me when the results were there." ”

These people who took the lead in protecting him, except for the adults, the rest were not close to their Zhenbei Hou Mansion on weekdays, they were all people on the connections of Lao Wan Pingbo, and he knew a little bit about Guò Ran Ning's movement in those days. And only a small part of them took the lead, probably because he was afraid that the emperor would suspect that they were too secret in private, so he picked a few high-ranking people to stand up, as long as others seconded the proposal, the rest of the people followed the reconsideration.

Ran Ning nodded, those elders were willing to help, it was indeed good news for her. And Zhong Su can make Yuan Hengyang and Du Muyi, two friends who can help each other at critical moments, instead of avoiding them, and it is worth it.

"It's okay for Yuan Gongzi to check on the bright side, so that the person who harmed you will pay attention to him, which is more conducive to us to investigate in secret." Ran Ning felt a little more relaxed in her heart, with the cover of Yuan Hengyang, it was simply better.

"The ministers of the DPRK and China are willing to protect me, and it is all your credit." Zhong Su said. He knew very well that if it weren't for today's incident, his case would not have been investigated by Lord Xu.

"It's because you have made outstanding achievements in battle, if you are like Ran Mi, even if I say all the good things, it will be useless." Ran Ning smiled and said: "The emperor treats you well on weekdays, but this time he didn't summon you, so he arrested you, I'm afraid that I am more jealous of you, and you have to be more careful in the future." ”

Before, the emperor had always looked at Zhong Su for saving him, and he was very kind to Zhong Su. But now this direct imprisonment can be said to have completely exposed the emperor's worries. The emperor is getting old and starting to be suspicious, which is probably something that everyone can see clearly.

"I understood the truth that a companion is like a tiger." Zhong Su did not feel disappointed or sad about the emperor, because he had never really regarded the emperor as a kind and gentle person, and there was no hope, so naturally he would not feel disappointed.

"Hmm. We all know who did it this time, although we didn't know which move the eldest brother and the eldest prince were going to take, but fortunately, we had taken precautions, and we didn't panic. We all know the seal in our hearts, so I won't say much, the key is that the person who imitates your words must be found, and if there is a rebellion in the house, it can't be kept. Ran Ning said. Although they have made a move in this matter, they are not stupid, and naturally they will not put the initiative in the hands of others.

"I know." Maybe this sentence shouldn't come out of Ran Ning's mouth, but Zhong Su knows that Ran Ning is not weak in decision-making and endurance of major events, so he won't isolate Ran Ning like a child who doesn't understand anything in many things.

"Leave this to me, you can protect yourself." Since the emperor has locked Zhong Su here, let Zhong Su recuperate here. Although the place is not good, it doesn't bother him.

"Be careful yourself." Zhong Su also knew that he couldn't help anything now.

"Don't worry, there is a master and an uncle." In terms of safety, Ran Ning is not worried, if the master and uncle can't protect her, it will be her life.

"Hmm." Zhong Su was also a little relieved.

Ran Ning lowered her voice and said, "It's best if you can bring down the eldest prince together, if not, protect your thoughtfulness first and then think about it in the long run." ”

"Okay." Zhong Su nodded. This time, the eldest prince united with Zhong Jin to frame him, and he didn't know if Zhong Jin had that brain, but the eldest prince must have thought of a way out, and it may be difficult to uproot him.

Although Ran Ning was reluctant to Zhong Su, she still had a lot to do, and the sooner she did it, the sooner Zhong Su could come out. Thinking of this, no matter how much reluctance there was, Ran Ning suppressed it.

"I'll go first, you have to be careful in everything. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a person in my grandfather's connections, so I can believe one or two. But it is necessary to guard against people, especially in diet. Ran Ning knew that Zhong Su understood this, but she still couldn't help but want to tell him.

"Don't worry." Zhong Su smiled at her.

Ran Ning didn't stay any longer, shook Zhong Su's hand hard, and turned to leave.

The news that the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was besieged quickly spread, after all, such an obvious thing is difficult for others to think about it if they don't see it. Soon, the future of Zhenbei Hou became a hot topic among the people of Beijing. Yuan Hengyang has been checking on the surface, but three days have passed, and there has been no progress.

During this period, the virtuous concubine quietly sent someone to the Zunchen Mansion to inquire about the situation, the virtuous concubine is also anxious now, she wants to beg the emperor, but the emperor avoids her, she can't get out of the palace, and the six princes are not there, so she can only be in a hurry. She is not afraid of the jokes of the harem, she just wants Zhong Su to come out safely.

Ran Ning wrote a letter to Concubine Xiangui, informing her of the current situation, telling her not to interfere in politics, Zhong Su will be fine, please be sure.

No matter which direction this matter ends up developing, there is only one purpose - to let Zhong Su get away with his crime safely. And to put an end to similar dangers, it is necessary to remove all obstacles, let the six princes sit in that position, the six princes will ascend the throne, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang will have to contribute, so no one on their side in this game will not allow any mistakes, and the rest of the things can go smoothly.

Five days later, news came from Zunchen's side - the person who imitated Zhong Su's handwriting had been found!
