Chapter 009: Prison Visit
All the way out of the palace, towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, because of the snow, the street is no longer as lively as before, only a few people are scattered.
When he arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department, Shang Shuyi of the Criminal Department was already waiting there. As soon as he saw the emperor's royal come, he hurriedly greeted it, and at this moment, he couldn't care about the cold, and knelt down respectfully to greet him: "Weichen is easy to welcome my emperor's holy drive!" ”
The carriage stopped steadily in front of Fu Yi, and although Fan Chengfu was already cold with his hands and feet, he immediately stepped forward and lifted the thick curtain in front of the car, and helped Long Zeye out.
Long Zeye glanced at Fu Yi and said lightly: "Get up!" Lead the way ahead. ”
"Yes." Hearing this, Yi Yi immediately stood up and respectfully led the way in front.
Although he is still young and a new official who was promoted after the current emperor ascended the throne, how can he climb to this position?
Even if the emperor didn't say it, he knew what the emperor was referring to, and he handed it over early this morning, and the emperor came in the afternoon, so he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be for that thing.
From the very beginning, when Jian Ning was locked in, he felt that it was a trouble and difficult to deal with, so he didn't mean to deal with it for three days. If it was really an ordinary person, insulting the emperor like Jian Ning, he would have already been corrected on the spot, where would he be imprisoned. So from the beginning, he couldn't tell what the emperor meant, so he had to let the emperor deal with it himself.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the emperor actually came in person, and it was on such a snowy day, it seemed that it was a wise choice for him not to move Jian Ning.
Thinking all the way, he walked to the innermost cell, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is it." ”
Long Zeye glanced at the woman who was huddled in the cell. frowned, and asked coldly, "What has she done in the past three days?" But what is there to say? ”
"Back to the emperor, according to the jailer. For three days, both day and night. She slept all the time, never ate but drank. Fu Yi replied truthfully.
"Open the cell, and you will go down first, and no one will be allowed to enter without my order." Long Zeye waved his hand and said to Qi Yi and Fan Chengfu.
When Qi Yi and Fan Chengfu heard this, they didn't dare to say a word more, and retreated silently.
"Hey. Still alive? Long Zeye walked in and asked without a trace of emotion towards the thin back.
When Long Zeye came, Jian Ning had already woken up, but she didn't move. Now that she heard Long Zeye's voice, Jian Ning didn't make the slightest move, as if she was going to pretend to be dead to the end, anyway, there would be no worse situation than now.
Long Zeye kept staring at Jian Ning, obviously seeing that she had subtle movements, but there was no other movement. A nameless fire erupted. However, Long Zeye has never been a person who likes to lose his temper, and regardless of whether Jian Ning listened to him, he said lightly on the side: "It is said that your senior brother has been trying to find a way to come in and see you?" And that maid of yours. I've been guarding outside this cell all the time, and it looks like I'm going to rob the prison. ”
"You say, if I find any random crime, will I be able to fulfill their wishes and let them all come in with you?"
Hearing this, Jian Ning sat up abruptly and stared at Long Zeye fiercely, as if that would make him have a piece of meat.
"You're despicable!"
"Can you still say such a hearty thing, it seems that it is not a big deal to be hungry for three days?" Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning and said sarcastically. "Don't you want to see me? Why, now you're talking to me? ”
"You're really thick-skinned. Who is it who is not waiting for the palace now, and has come to this cell? Jane gave him a blank look. said with disdain, "If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, right?" ”
"I want to know why you dare to talk to me like that?" Long Zeye suddenly pinched Jian Ning's neck, stared straight into her eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" So what are you struggling with now? ”
Jian Ning had been hungry for three days and frozen for three days, and her body had already reached its limit, but now that she was pinched by Long Zeye like this, Jian Ning could clearly smell the breath of being busy. Out of her own instinct, Jian Ning kept grabbing the hand that was holding her neck.
Long Zeye didn't use his strength in the end, and threw Jian Ning back on the cold bed board, looking at her with disgust.
Jian Ning coughed violently, looked back at Long Zeye stubbornly, and said word by word: "When I feel that my life is threatened, it is human instinct to struggle and resist, not because I am afraid of death. ”
"It's you, since you're so cruel and violent, why don't you just cut me down!"
"Just because I didn't kill you that day doesn't mean I won't kill you, I advise you, don't try to challenge my temper!" There was anger and coldness in Long Zeye's eyes that could not be ignored, and Jian Ning had no doubt that Long Zeye would really kill him.
Jian Ning clearly felt that her consciousness seemed to be getting more and more blurred, but she was not stupid. Although she has been sleeping for the past three days, she is also thinking about a question, that is, why Long Zeye did not directly kill her at that time. She didn't think that just by what she said, she would be an ordinary little woman who could live until now.
She thought about this question for three days but couldn't get a convincing answer, knowing that at that moment just now, she obviously felt that Long Zeye was angry and wanted to kill her, but she endured it stubbornly, then the only possibility is that she still has the value of being alive now, and Long Zeye wants to know or get something from herself.
Maybe it was because this kind of mental thinking was too wasteful of energy, or maybe this body was really on the verge of collapse, Jian Ning finally went black in front of her eyes and fainted.
And at this time, at the inn in Huayuwu, Liu Leshan and they hadn't closed their eyes for three days and three nights.
"Shopkeeper Liu, if there is really no way, I will go to rob the prison, it's a big deal that we are not in Yuanchu." Ruan Zijin has been thinking about robbing the prison several times in the past few days, if it really comes to the point where there is no way, she doesn't mind what to do, the big deal will be the end of the world in the future.
"Absolutely not! Even if I agree, Ning'er won't see you do that. Liu Leshan once again sternly rejected Ruan Zijin's suggestion.
"But it's been three days, and we can't even see Ning'er, so how can we save her?" Ruan Zijin was also so anxious that she was almost about to cry, such a feeling of powerlessness made her suddenly think of the scene when her senior brother died for her.
Seeing this, Liu Leshan couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to gently pat Ruan Zijin's back to comfort her. He must be able to think of a way to save Ning'er, he must be able to.
Similarly, in the palace where the envoys of the Eastern Merchants lived, the air pressure in Xiahou Yan's study was also abnormally low.
Feng Yang has not even dared to take a breath in the past three days, for fear that a careless punishment will be an inexplicable punishment.
"How's it going?" Xiahou Yan sat on the chair behind the desk, and asked while processing the letter.
"Back to the master, it is inconvenient for the master to meddle in this matter, but it took three days for his subordinates to finally find a breakthrough, maybe it will work." Feng Yang observed Xiahou Yan's expression while cautiously replying.
"Say." Xiahou Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Yang, and an irresistible voice sounded.
"The subordinates found out that Miss Jane's father, who was the former Jian Shenchu, had a death-free gold medal given by Emperor Yuan Chu in his hand. If she gets that gold medal, Miss Jane's life will naturally be safe. Feng Yang was also surprised when he first found out about this matter, he didn't expect Jian Baiwei to have this kind of ability.
"Death-free gold medal? Where is it now? Why didn't Liu Leshan, the people in the food garden, know about this? Xiahou Yan frowned and asked unceremoniously.
That was a condition that Jian Baiwei put forward to Emperor Yuan Chu at the God of Food Contest nine years ago, whether it was his or her descendants who committed a capital crime in the future, they would be spared death. Because the emperor withdrew everyone at that time, only a few people knew. ”
"Because the reward of every gold medal for avoiding death has to be recorded, so the subordinates are fortunate to find it. As for Miss Jane, why they didn't know, their subordinates had no way of knowing. As for the death-free gold medal, it should still be in the Food Garden or the old house of the Jian family, and the subordinates have not found it yet. After Feng Yang finished speaking, he stood quietly on the side, waiting for Xiahou Yan's next order.
Xiahou Yan leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally said lightly: "Since you can follow the records and find that the Food Taste Garden has a gold medal for avoiding death, then Long Zeye must also know." ”
"You are sending someone to check the whereabouts of the gold medal for avoiding death, and after you find it, send someone to guard it, don't act rashly." Xiahou Yan commanded lightly.
What kind of wishful thinking is Long Zeye playing? Jian Ning is just a little cook, a little woman, and she has no use value for him at all. If it is for that death-free gold medal, then you can directly sue Liu Leshan now, according to Liu Leshan's character, he will definitely spare no effort to find out the death-free gold medal in exchange for Jian Ning.
"Brother Huang, Leling asks to see." At this time, Leling's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in!" Xiahou Yan regained his initial appearance and said lightly.
"Brother Huang, Leling received an invitation from Concubine Yuan Chuai and invited Leling to enter the palace tomorrow to enjoy the plums. I came to ask the royal brother, but I need to make an appointment? Le Ling took out a delicate gilded invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Xiahou Yan.
Xiahou Yan took a glance, looked at Le Ling and said lightly: "Since the concubine Niangniang invited, Ling'er will go!" (To be continued) R580
