Chapter 189: The Truth
Although there was a previous order for Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case, according to Zhu Di's suspicious personality, it is indeed possible to let both sides investigate the case at the same time - he may not believe in the unilateral result.
The Ninety-Five Honor, at all times, likes to check and balance power.
He was almost sure of this idea in his heart, but at this time, another thought arose - the words of the Hou Ye in front of him were vague, but I was afraid that there were many reservations.
The two of them, each with their own thoughts, fell silent for a while through the fragrance and mist of the tea.
Guangsheng was calm, but in fact, he was also a little worried in his heart - he used chicken feathers as an arrow this time, which can be said to be a half-truth.
This waist card is a license for him to enter and leave the palace at any time, and there is also a clear intention to "supervise misconduct, eliminate evil", but this is actually a common compliment to the Jinyi guard, not to really let him investigate this case.
Such an act, in general, may be a false claim of divine will, but in fact it is a great risk.
But, he must see Ji Gang!
Xue Yu looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and his thoughts gradually expanded-
Does he really have a purpose?
Why do you want to see Ji Gang?
Will there be a problem with this person?
Countless questions flashed in his heart, and at this moment, the eyes collided in two days, and under the sparkling waves, they were playing a game of their own minds.
"I also know that Master Xue is loyal to his duties, and he doesn't dare to relax in the slightest, and I don't want to embarrass you."
He looked at Xue Yu and continued sincerely: "I can not contact him, but I must see if he is okay and if there is anything wrong with him. ”
This request sounded more reasonable, but somehow, the strange feeling in Xue Yu's heart was clearer.
He lowered his eyes and pondered, raised his head after a moment, and said categorically: "In that case, I'll go with Hou Ye." ”
I was going to follow him to inspect the criminals!
Guangsheng's eyes froze. Then he smiled casually, "There is the Lord, this is your territory, the guest is whatever the Lord, I will listen to you." ”
*****
The prison in Dali Temple is completely different from that of the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei.
The Jin Yiwei is eerie and terrifying, with deep twists and turns, and within ten steps, you can see bloody and hideous torture instruments, just like their terrifying name, which can stop children from crying at night.
The prison of the Criminal Department is square and wide, and the prisoners are mixed, and there are separate courtyards where they live comfortably. There is also a pickled bucket room crowded with many people, and it is bustling with people.
Only the prison of Dali Temple is always so cold and silent, and no people are heard.
This place will only take over the big and important cases approved by the emperor, and when the emperor trusts Jinyiwei very much, this place is even empty.
Through the heavy iron gates, there were no steps to go forward, and the deepest one was wide and clean. He even lit up the white wax, which did not feel eerie or terrifying.
Guangsheng's footsteps stopped, because the familiar figure had already appeared in front of him.
Ji Gang wears a blue fine cotton straight thread and a bamboo hairpin in his hair. On his feet are the mille-feuille cloth shoes often worn by the country gentry and Confucian students.
He held a scroll of paper in his hand, and was looking intently, as if he had not noticed anyone around the corner.
Guangsheng stared at him, taking in every inch of his expression - Ji Gang didn't seem to have been tortured. There was no haggard look between his expressions, and such a homely and ordinary dress made him look comfortable and leisurely.
Rising could hear his own heartbeat at this moment—with great self-control. Suppressed the damp heat in the eye sockets.
At this moment, he remembered the long, sinister night two days ago with little end in sight.
That night, he was ordered by the man in front of him to go to the palace to report the emergency change and deliver evidence of the Han king's plot to raise private soldiers.
However, the saint suddenly left the palace and did not know where to go, and he stood in the pouring rain in front of the palace gate in a dilemma, allowing the rain to water.
The despair and helplessness of that moment will never be forgotten by him for the rest of his life.
Later, he came up with a way to invite his grandson, and the whole situation seemed to be about to die.
Seem.
On the way to Dali Temple with his grandson, he opened the baggage containing evidence, which contained not only documentary evidence, but also a brocade bag.
The seal reads, "The last moment to open."
What is the last moment?
He didn't know what to do, but he opened it without hesitation, and the inner text inside made him stunned.
Inside is Ji Gang's handwritten letter, telling him: If the evidence has not been delivered before the time, it means that the other party has already been alert, and this evidence will be destroyed immediately - because it is not only useless, but will become a weapon in the hands of the enemy.
Subsequently, he asked Rising to do the only and last important work.
Denounce him.
Accuse him of having the grace of knowing him, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Gang.
Rising couldn't believe his eyes at that time!
W-How is this possible?!
How could he do such a thing?!
But Ji Gang's words, familiar and cold, are like any of his previous orders, accurate and unquestionable: Guangsheng must personally denounce him in order to win the emperor's trust and keep Jinyiwei.
Keep the brocade guard...... This is his last wish.
At that moment, Guangsheng's hands were trembling.
The grandson who was sitting opposite him couldn't see it in the dark, and he only thought it was the bump in the car or the nervousness before facing the saint.
No one knew that at that moment he was facing the most difficult and painful task in the world!
In the end, he still denounced Ji Gang and kept Jinyiwei.
And the code sent when he got out of the car was also accurately received by the secret guards arranged by Ji Gang in advance, and then, a moment later, the red-clothed cannon two streets away hit Dali Temple on time.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the red-coated cannons that flowed from Europa to the Central Plains had long been decayed and half-broken, and the lethality of the shells was very low, but the sulfur saltpeter and other substances it contained could cause fires.
The Devil didn't tell him what to do, but it was already clear.
In this way, Guangsheng changed from denunciating King Han to denunciating Ji Gang, and rescued the trapped Zhu Di and His Royal Highness Taisun in the fire under artillery bombardment.
The work of saving the driver is not trivial.
Others don't know his identity, but Zhu Di knows that his secret identity is the Qianhu of Jinyiwei.
The Jinyi Guard did not rebel, and there were still loyal and brave men.
This is the only reason why Jinyiwei was not dismantled and killed.
He single-handedly held up the whole situation!
This is all the truth of that night.
At this moment, Guangsheng stood around the corner not far from Ji Gang, watching him in prison, but he could only watch silently.
No conversation, no physical contact, not even unusual expressions and eyes.
The Xue master beside him was closely watching his every move.
Guangsheng looked at Ji Gang quietly, and Xue Yu, who was beside him, looked at the two of them deeply.
After a while, he snorted coldly, turned around and left. (To be continued......)
