Today's court ended up like this, and when Meng Fan stepped out, he only heard Gu Zhiyu behind him ask softly, are your injuries okay!

She shook her head, tilted her head up, and walked out with the person, and walked straight to the prison of the Criminal Department.

East Palace

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good, not good." This little son went to the front hall today, and unexpectedly heard about the things in the court, and when he saw Meng Fan being pressed into the prison of the Criminal Department, he couldn't help but worry, and he ran back to report to his master.

Gu Zhikai had just finished writing an article at that time, and was resting on it, when he heard Xiao Dezi's cry, and said slowly: "Let's drink a cup of tea first, and don't worry." ”

"This matter has to be urgent, 100,000 urgent! Prince, minion...... Minion...... Just learned...... Taifu was imprisoned, and the murder was not only a trivial matter in the examination room, but also a murder case that accused the state government of committing the crime, and the crime was a big one. Xiao Dezi said, the pen in Gu Zhikai's hand couldn't be covered at this time.

He rolled up his robe and hurried out.

"Prince!"

Xiao Dezi followed behind him, and the two hurried to the front hall, but what they saw at that time was Meng Fan being led out of the palace with shackles in his hands.

Gu Zhikai was just about to step forward, but Gu Zhiyan stood behind him at some point.

Gu Zhiyan's pair of Danfeng eyes raised slightly, looked at Gu Zhikai and couldn't help but smile, and said in a very light tone: "Zhikai!" Why don't you go up and stop it, that's the Prime Minister who has been protecting you! ”

He smiled, as if he already knew the final outcome, seeing that Gu Zhikai had not spoken, he didn't say much, just looked at the corpse of the assassin lying on the ground and urged him to deal with it, and strode away.

"Prince? Prince, are you alright? Seeing Gu Zhikai's head sweating profusely, Xiao Dezi hurriedly asked.

On this sunny day, there were a lot of beads of sweat on Gu Zhikai's face, and he said silently: "Little Dezi, why do I feel that way again, it's so strong." ”

"Why don't we go back first?"

Gu Zhikai nodded, and as Xiao Dezi returned to the East Palace, he kept recalling along the way that at night a long time ago, someone asked him to hide and smile at him, but he watched a lonely figure like Meng Fan slowly disappear from his sight, and he never saw that person since.

The East Palace was desolate, the previous palace maids were asked to leave by the palaces early, at this time there were only a few people in the East Palace, and Gu Zhikai tossed and turned in the dormitory and found it difficult to sleep.

Xiao Dezi watched from the side and didn't know what to say, seeing Gu Zhikai sleepless all night until the next day.

A few days later......

As Meng Fan expected, the emperor did give this hot potato to Gu Zhikai, and it was really not his own and it was easier to use.

"Zhikai, I know that you have a deep relationship with the prime minister, and this is also a sign that I believe in you, don't let me down, you know?" The emperor who spoke seemed careless and perfunctory.

Gu Zhikai nodded, unable to hide his panic, and even when he received the holy decree, he was extremely flustered.

Gu Zhiyan on the side couldn't help but sneer, Gu Zhikai glanced up at him, and said to Xiao Dezi behind him, "Help me up." ”

Subsequently, he was impatient to leave the palace and rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department to visit Meng Fan.

It was very cold in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Meng Fan was arranged in a single room because of his high position, but it was also an extremely cold place, and there were traces left by those prisoners who knocked and scratched the walls before they died.

It was the first time she had stayed in such an environment, and it didn't matter if she wasn't used to it, the wailing from all sides every night was the most unacceptable thing, and she wanted to stuff all the straw in that place into her ears, in exchange for a moment of silence.

"Meng Xiang, someone has come to see you." The jailer had silver in his hand and happily unlocked it.

Meng Fan probed his head, and saw Feng Lou, dressed in a dark robe, coming in a hurry, with a large bag of food in his hand.

"Fenglou?"

"It's like you've never seen me." Feng Lou said and hurriedly checked Meng Fan's pulse, then shook his head and said: "Your old injury is really not suitable in this prison, and what happened here, why did you go from prime minister to a prisoner in one fell swoop." ”

Meng Fan shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and went to look through the things brought by Fenglou, he was really hungry, and when he saw those candied fruits that he had liked to eat since he was a child, he grabbed a handful and put them in his mouth.

I don't even care about the image at all.

"Eat slowly, I'll bring enough, slow...... Ah! You slow down. Feng Lou patted Meng Fan's back as he spoke, for fear that she would get stuck in her throat.

"You don't know, the food here is so bad, it can't be worse, when I go out, I will definitely improve the food here, and the prisoners are also people!"

Feng Lou couldn't help but smile and said, "I remember that it was you who asked for a strict criminal law a few years ago. ”

Meng Fan glared at him and said, "That's when you are young and ignorant, but now that you understand it, you naturally have to change it." ”

Feng Lou didn't say more, looked at the getting late sky and said, "I'll leave in a while, you have to pay attention to yourself, I brought you a few pills, and if you don't feel well, take one." ”

Meng Fan nodded, patted Fenglou and said, "Brother Fenglou, don't worry, I've been fine since I was a child." ”

"Alright! I don't feel at ease in your life. Feng Lou said, and walked out with the food box.

I met Gu Zhikai when I came out! Gu Zhikai said that it was too late, and he quickly stretched out a hand and stopped Fenglou.

"What did the Taifu call him just now, ah, little dezi."

"Fenglou, call Fenglou."

"It's obviously Brother Fenglou, what kind of ears are you?" Gu Zhikai looked at this Fenglou again, although he had seen it when Meng Fan was injured that time, but when he looked at it so closely today, this man was more beautiful than a woman.

"Put your hands away and let me have a way." Feng Lou looked at Gu Zhikai, Gu Zhikai looked at Feng Lou, and for a moment Gu Zhikai said: "The road is so big, the son is good, how can it be said that I am stopping you." ”

Feng Lou smiled helplessly, turned to another direction, and slowly left.

At this time, Meng Fan in prison had already heard Gu Zhikai's voice and hurriedly called, "Zhikai!" ”

"Taifu, Zhikai is here."

Gu Zhikai took three steps and made two steps towards Meng Fan's cell, and when the door was pushed, he saw Meng Fan leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate.

When he saw Gu Zhikai come in, he asked, "Are you in charge of my case?" ”

Gu Zhikai nodded.

"Do you know why they asked you to check?"

Gu Zhikai said: "Uncle Huang only said that he believed me. ”

"You believe it?"

Gu Zhikai didn't say anything, Meng Fan said coldly: "He doesn't believe you, if I didn't guess wrong, this bureau is the masterpiece of him and Gu Zhiyan, let you check?" Find out it's him, what should you do? What should you do if you can't find out who it is? ”

Meng Fan knew in his heart that this case was originally a death case, and the only person who could overturn the case was assassinated in court, and among the only remaining witnesses, Wan Yan insisted that it was Meng Fan, and the confession of the state government must have been instructed by Meng Fan to do so.

There is not a single favorable condition that can prove Meng Fan's innocence.

"Remember this case, you go to investigate, investigate well, visit these students who are taking the exam, meet those who are knowledgeable, speak clearly and orderly, you have to be a corporal, don't let these poor students think that you are in the same league with me, let them see your sincerity." Meng Fan said and looked at Gu Zhikai with tenderness and said: "If you can't find out anything in the end, remember not to defend me, I would rather others say that you are cold-faced and ruthless, than others say that you are a wolf with me." ”

Gu Zhikai looked at Meng Fan, who was still thinking about him at that time, and didn't know what to say, this imperial examination fraud case, he can check it, and this state capital case is really difficult.

He himself was not sure if he would be able to find out the truth.

"By the way, Zhikai transferred the files of several people from the state capital and kept them on file, and no one except you can be transferred."

"Why?"

Meng Fan was silent, patted Gu Zhikai's shoulder and said, "What makes people willing to make mistakes?" ”

"Greed, power, status."

"You know, why are you still asking these useless things, Taifu is not by your side, you are careful in investigating the case, remember to ask Meng Qi to accompany you when you visit."

Gu Zhikai nodded, and after the two said a few more words, Gu Zhikai left in a hurry.
