Chapter Forty-Nine: The Old Department of the Eighteen Prisons

"That makes sense." Gu Qingchu tidied up his sleeves and agreed seriously.

Yuan Jinpei saw that Gu Qingchu agreed without hesitation, with a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were also curled, he remembered the 'fairy theory' when he was singing.

After returning to Shengjing, Yuan Jinpei unconsciously had an extra layer of violent energy, and he smiled like this, diluting the bloodthirsty yin in his eyes.

The shadow five shadows and six faces are not visible, and they have a little more respect for Gu Qingchu in their hearts, and they can easily make their adults smile, Ning Lianghou is the first person.

Yuan Jinpei also changed into a court dress, the court dress of the commander-in-chief of the Tianwei Division was a black flying fish suit, with a red inner collar at the neckline, gold pattern piping on the cuffs, and a tiger embroidered on the hem of the mountain with extraordinary momentum.

One red and one black, talented men and women, are eye-catching.

The two of them got into the carriage of King Jing's Mansion and left the mansion and entered the palace directly from the noon gate.

Let those who want to take this opportunity to see if Ning Lianghou's body is recovering well, or if he is at the end of the strong crossbow, he pounced.

Everyone is speculating about what Ning Lianghou will say when he meets the emperor when he enters the palace this time, and whether there will be any changes to the situation in the court, Gu Qingchu is also thinking about what the little emperor's attitude will be towards him.

When Nan'er did things for the three princes, the Gu family forces at that time tried their best to help the three princes, and now that the emperor has ascended the throne, is there still a pimple in his heart?

Emperor Wenji was only twenty-five years old, and he ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, and it took eight years, and now the power of the court is firmly in his hands. The emperor's skill is unfathomable, this little emperor does not lose to the first emperor!

Along the way, Gu Qingchu heard a lot about the deeds of the young emperor, this one is a forbearant one, the three princes were higher than the five princes in terms of power, connections and saints, but it was the five princes who ascended the throne in the end.

It can be seen that its scheming methods should not be underestimated.

The little emperor has been in power for many years, and the dragon power on his body has become stronger and stronger, and now his face will also make the ministers panic.

Seeing Gu Qingchu's first face, Emperor Wenji's eyes flashed with amazement, no wonder Ning Lianghou was called the first beauty in Shengjing with both talent and appearance.

"Ning Liang waited for Gu Qingchu to see the emperor." Gu Qingchu's fist was the gift of a general.

It stands to reason that the military general's gift should also be kneeling on one knee, but Gu Qingchu did not.

The little emperor raised his eyebrows, and faced Yuan Jinpei who was standing aside, Yuan Jinpei pointed up with his hand, and the little emperor remembered, the first emperor had given Ning Lianghou the privilege, and the emperor was exempt from kneeling when he saw it.

Ning Lianghou didn't kneel in front of the first emperor, if he knelt down this time, the little emperor would answer, but it would be inappropriate.

Even if the five princes have ascended the throne as the emperor, but they cannot be greater than the emperor, and the loss of filial piety is a great disrespect, and the Great Xia Dynasty has had an emperor who was removed from the name because of disrespect for the ancestors and ancestors.

The little emperor originally wanted to serve the emperor's style, but suddenly felt a little pressure.

Although Ning Lianghou has been in a coma for thirty years, she looks like a little girl, but her background is not so simple, she knows a lot of the high-ranking officials after the death of her father, Emperor Xian, and it is enough for him to have a headache if she really moves out.

It seems that Ning Lianghou is a colleague and friend who has no close contacts around Chunchen, but at that time, Gu Nan had an accident, and there were many people who interceded for the Gu family, and Emperor Wenji was extremely surprised at that time.

At that time, the Gu family building collapsed, who didn't know how to protect his life, and dared to touch the moldy head of the saint to plead? The fact is that there were intercedes, and there were quite a few, among them were loyal ministers who had been with him from the beginning.

At that time, Emperor Wen Ji had a dark idea, he was glad that Ning Lianghou was poisoned, it was the third prince who Gu Nan helped, if Ning Lianghou was here, how many people would stand on the side of the third prince because of her!

Ning Liang woke up, and she could use those placed connections at any time.

Gu Qingchu thought that she had no friends in the court, but she didn't know how many people's eyes flashed and how much admiration she had with her scorching light back then.

The little emperor was concerned about Ning Lianghou's body, and said some decent words, and the atmosphere between the monarch and the ministers was appropriate.

"Ning Liang waited for a long journey, rested at home for two days, and came back to the court the day after tomorrow." The little emperor said as if he were a considerate courtier.

Gu Qingchu understood the emperor's meaning almost instantly, these two days were enough for all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods to jump.

"Emperor Xie is compassionate."

It was getting late, and the emperor explained a few words to Yuan Jinpei, asking him to entertain Ning Lianghou, and tomorrow he asked the royal gardener to go to Ning Lianghou's yard and so on.

After a stick of incense, Gu Qingchu and Yuan Jinpei walked out together.

The emperor's attitude was more peaceful than she imagined, and Gu Qingchu glanced at the people around him, probably because of him.

Gu Qingchu's requirements were very low, and the emperor didn't treat the people she was going to deal with.

*

That night, Gu Qingchu and Yuan Jinpei left the palace and did not return home, but went to the Eighteen Prisons.

There is a heavenly prison in Dali Temple, and there are eighteen prisons in Tianwei Division, which is the purgatory of the prisoners.

During the song, Yuan Jinpei asked Gu Qingchu to meet a prisoner, and this time he wanted to see that person.

The Eighteen Prisons were a place where the ferocious Jiang Yang thieves were afraid to come, and as soon as Gu Qingchu walked to the gate, a strong smell of blood lingered between his noses.

The night was deep, and the wails that came from the rest time of normal people were one after another. The iron bars at the doorway were rusty, and each railing had a few deep knife marks and some blackened maroon marks.

"Those were left behind by the prison robbers."

Yuan Jinpei's fluttering words were the blood and lives left behind by countless people who wanted to rob the prison.

Follow Yuan Jinpei to the 18th Prison, every prisoner here is covered in blood, even if they are scared and stupid, they can't escape the fate of daily torture, in the 18th Prison, death is liberation, but they can't die.

Walking to the innermost part of the cell, it was a dark space, and if it weren't for the torches in the guards' hands, there would not have been a single light here, and not even the painful howls of the previous interrogation could not be heard.

This is where the heart is really tormented.

Gu Qingchu suddenly wanted to know who was being locked up, and he was able to go through the physical and mental torture of Tianwei Si and bite to death, not to mention, this kind of heart was really unusual.

"Wei Cong, Ning Lianghou is here." Yuan Jinpei called out, tied to the shelf of the cell, the man with his feet dangling in the air slowly raised his head, Gu Qingchu couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, he could only see the pair of black and shiny eyes.

Wei Cong, this name she heard for the first time.

"All of you are leaving, and I will speak to the Lord alone." The man's eyes shone brightly, staring at Gu Qingchu's burning gaze.

The man's voice was already broken, and if he didn't listen carefully to his voice, he couldn't tell what he was talking about, hearing the man's request, Yuan Jinpei looked at Gu Qingchu, and after Gu Qingchu nodded, everyone in the Tianwei Division retreated.

The only sound in the room was the crackling of torches.

"You call me Lord, it used to be Gu Jiajun? Wei Cong is your real name? Gu Qingchu asked.

Wei Cong never looked away from Gu Qingchu from the time he saw him, staring at Gu Qingchu firmly without blinking, and after hearing Gu Qingchu speak, his face was expressionless, but two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.
