Cheng Huaijin paced into the edict prison and first went to see several officials who were being tortured.

When the long barbed whip was thrown on him, he roared in pain, and the thick and fishy blood flowed down his naked upper body, slowly falling to the ground, and blooming a little bright flower on the gray-brown ground.

"Recruited?" Cheng Huaijin asked the little flag that was waving the whip.

The little flag took the whip and came over to salute, and said with a smile: "I didn't recruit it, but the small one should be recruited if I throw a few more whips." ”

Cheng Huaijin waved his hand: "Go on, if he doesn't recruit again, Benxian will teach you a few tricks." ”

The branch disciple of the Lu family, who was panting roughly, heard this and wanted to scold Cheng Huaijin, but Cheng Huaijin said again: "You go and find a few bundles of two kicks, one of these edicts is counted as one, and if you don't confess, you will directly stuff one in the back yard and light it with fire, this person is like that rocket......

Before he finished speaking, the children of the Lu family were already trembling with fear, their hearts were as cold as the moon in the middle of winter, and they shouted: "I recruit, I recruit, don't use torture anymore, I will recruit all of them." ”

Cheng Huaijin sneered and patted the shoulder of the little flag: "Think about some new tricks, just throwing the whip is tiring and ineffective, you see this constitution teaches you this, that is, it is light and convenient, and the prisoner confesses quickly, saving us a lot of trouble." ”

Xiao Qi really admired it very much, and said with respect: "The lesson of the commander is that the little one has written it down, and he will definitely think about new tricks in the future." ”

Cheng Huaijin glanced at the other officials a few more times, and said a few words before going inside. When they walked to the widest cell in the innermost, they saw Cheng Ping'an and Feng Rongrong sitting on the chairs of the cell, both of them were full of horror, but they should not have been tortured, after all, they were neatly dressed, and there was not a single hair messed up.

Cheng Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, and called a hundred households to give a few words, and the hundred households went down, and after a while, a few general flags brought Cheng Ping'an and Feng Rongrong down.

Cheng Ping'an was frightened when he saw it. yelled: "You bastard." Thanks to my trust in you so much, you don't even miss the old feelings at all. He struggled desperately: "Let go of me, let go of me." I am the prince of Chengguo. If you really beat me, I can't afford to be guilty. ”

Feng Rongrong cried and shouted: "Cheng Lang save me." Chenglang save me ......"

Cheng Huaijin looked at it coldly and waved his hand: "Take it down." ”

A few more flags came over and lifted the two of them up and left, one to the east and the other to the west, into two small black rooms.

I watched the two flags slam the doors of the two small black houses. Cheng Huaijin went out at this time, and called a thousand households to give a few words and then took the waist card and entered the palace.

It is said that Emperor Qingfeng finished approving the excerpts, and at this time the sun moved westward, and the heat disappeared, Emperor Qingfeng had a leisurely mood, and took a few favored concubines and beauties to the imperial garden to wander.

As soon as I heard a beautiful woman want to say a few words after stroking the qin, I saw the great eunuch Wei Mu coming over quickly, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asked to see him, saying that there is something very important." ”

"Important?" Emperor Qingfeng thought that Cheng Huaijin should have gone to Ji Mansion today to rob Ji Songxian to go out to play, this son should still be outside, how could he come back, and there is something important to face, is it not that he encountered something when he went out to play: "Hurry up and invite him to Qianqing Palace, I will arrive later." ”

"No." Wei Mu agreed, and called a little eunuch to trot all the way to invite Cheng Huaijin to the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Qingfeng waved goodbye to the harem beauties, and dressed up to clean the palace.

Before Cheng Huaijin arrived when he passed, Emperor Qingfeng began to ponder, only saying that Cheng Huaijin could have such a big deal? Could it be that the king of Fan is going to rebel? Or what is the family going to do with it?

He was thinking about it here, Cheng Huaijin was wearing a silver dragon robe and Gao Guanbo brought into the Qianqing Palace, standing in the Qianqing Palace with a cold face, his spine was straight, it was really a jade tree in the wind, and his demeanor was beautiful.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Qingfeng was also direct, and said when he came up.

Cheng Huaijin took a few steps over, and when he was only two or three feet away from Emperor Qingfeng, he reached out and took out an object from his arms and handed it to Emperor Qingfeng: "I went out to play today, and I happened to get an object, I think you must like it very much, so I will give it to you." ”

Emperor Qingfeng reached out a little stupidly to take it, only to feel that his hand was very heavy, so he asked, "Is it jade?" ”

Peeling off the wrapped silk cloth, just as a ray of sunlight shone in, shining on the dark green transparent jade carving, on which the nine dragons circled, as if with infinite majesty.

Emperor Qingfeng gasped: "This, the jade seal of the country?" Is it really a jade seal? ”

Cheng Huaijin nodded: "I think it should be." ”

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the gold inlaid with the base of the jade seal and said: "According to rumors, Emperor Wen once quarreled with Ming Xiang in the previous dynasty, and picked up a thing and threw it over, but what he didn't want to throw was the jade seal of the country, and the jade seal touched a corner, Emperor Wen was very distressed, and then inlaid with gold, you see that there is gold inlaid here, and then there are these seal carvings, and ......."

He turned the jade seal over and pointed to the handwriting on the base and the red and black ink clay on it: "The jade seal has been used since the time of Emperor Wu of Qin, it is said that Emperor Wu is still black, and the ink clay that he wants to use should also be black, and almost all of the later dynasties are red, so there is a red and black color." ”

He and his party said, Emperor Qingfeng and his entourage nodded, and listened to Cheng Huaijin continue to explain: "When I was on the mountain, I saw the pattern of the jade seal of the country from the master's collection, and this is almost exactly the same as the shape and size of the pattern. ”

In this way, the heirloom jade seal should be true, Emperor Qingfeng immediately laughed when he heard it, he held the heirloom jade seal and his chest was full of pride: "Since the time of Taizu, I have been looking for the jade seal of the country, but I have not seen a shadow for many years, those families look down on the origin of the grandfather, and the joke that the ancestor is not worthy of sitting in the world, otherwise how can I not see the jade seal of the country, how many people have been killed by the ancestor of the anger, at that time the blood flowed into a river, but the grandfather of the country was still reading the jade seal of the country when he was leaving, only to say that the jade seal can sit firmly in the country, in order to block the mouth of the people in the world, Later, both Taizong and Wenzong secretly ordered people to look for it, but they couldn't find it, and they didn't want me to get this jade seal. ”

After laughing, Emperor Qingfeng carefully put away the jade seal and said to Cheng Huaijin: "I have to thank you for this." ”

Cheng Huaijin waved his hand: "No need, it's useless for me to take this object, I can't eat or drink, I can't eat or drink, it's still a burden to put it at home, and I will naturally give it to you." ”

"That being said, I don't want to thank you." Emperor Qingfeng thought that it was Cheng Huaijin who got this jade seal, if others got it, maybe what would happen, if those families got it, they couldn't hide it, and then make a mess, so that he couldn't sit still in the world, if the queen mother got it...... Emperor Qingfeng didn't dare to think about it, the consequences were too serious.

Cheng Huaijin smiled slightly: "I heard that there is a superb epiphany in the imperial garden that will bloom in a few days, if you want to thank you, give me this flower." ”

Emperor Qingfeng immediately waved his hand: "Take it, take it, take it and leave quickly, that epiphany is my beloved thing, if you don't leave earlier, I can't regret it." ”

Cheng Huaijin said goodbye with a smile and left, turned around and went to the Imperial Garden, really looked for the superb epiphany, took it with him, and left.

Wei Mu has been following Cheng Huaijin, holding flowers for him and sending them out of the palace, and when he arrived at the palace gate, Cheng Huaijin said to Wei Mou: "Tell Your Majesty that I will take Cheng Ping'an to prison, if the Chengguo Mansion comes to complain, ask Your Majesty to cover it up for me." ”

After speaking, he took the flower in Wei Mu's hand and left quickly, coaxing Wei Mu in a cold sweat and hurriedly went to ventilate Emperor Qingfeng.

It is only said that Cheng Ping'an stayed in the small dark room of the edict prison for a day and a night, and this day and night he could only stay in a dark and narrow space, his eyes did not see a trace of light, his nose did not smell a trace of smell, his ears could not hear a sound, and then he was stuffy and hot, sweating profusely, and his throat was extremely thirsty, but no one gave him a little water, let alone food.

In the evening of the next day, the gatekeeper went to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he smelled a stench, it turned out that Cheng Ping'an couldn't hold it back, so he could only pull all the feces and urine in the house.

Then Cheng Ping'an broke down because he was locked in the house for a short time, in order to be able to hold on, he tore his clothes, and tore a good piece of cotton silk clothes into a mess, and the whole person was stinky, dirty and embarrassed lying on the ground of the small black room, with a pair of round eyes and silent sound, if it weren't for the breath in his nose, he really thought he would be dead.

When a few small flags carried him out, Cheng Ping'an cried, turned over and ran.

Several Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi couldn't catch up, Feng Rongrong was also released, she was even more unbearable than Cheng Ping'an, and was carried around Jinling City by Jinyiwei's people and sent back to Chengguo Mansion.

Cheng Ping'an was scurrying around the street like crazy, and when the sun shone above his head, he listened to the various sounds of the crowd in his ears, and smelled the aroma of all kinds of food from the small restaurants on the street, he was able to come back to life.

It was easy for Cheng Ping'an to calm down, first found a ready-to-wear shop to buy clothes to change, and asked someone to fix his hair, and then hired a car back to Chengguo Mansion.

It is said that Cheng Guogong naturally looked for him everywhere during the period of Cheng Ping'an's disappearance, and later heard that he and a concubine were taken to prison, and Cheng Guogong was in a hurry, he did not dare to go to Jinyiwei to make a fuss, so he could only hand over the waist card and ask to see the driver.

Only Cheng Guogong got the letter to ask to see Emperor Qingfeng when the palace door was closed, Emperor Qingfeng naturally did not see him, Cheng Guogong had no choice but to wait for the dawn palace door to open and handed over the waist card, this time, Emperor Qingfeng called him.

Chengguo Gong trembled slightly into the Qianqing Palace, and when he saw Emperor Qingfeng, he knelt on the ground, crying a handful of snot and tears, looking very pitiful: "Please Your Majesty save the dog, the dog is loyal to Your Majesty, and has never done anything unfavorable to the country and the people, but yesterday, Jinyi Wei took the dog and one of the dog's concubines into the edict prison, this will be the son, this son may not be the same, I can't say...... Your Majesty, the old minister is old and only has such a son, and he has to rely on him to support his old age, he wants to have a good one, how can the old minister and the old minister's wife live.
