It was originally a very simple case, but with the involvement of Princess Anle, it was not simple.

Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Princess Anle covers the sky with one hand, she can say that the white is black, and the living can be said to be dead.

Since Lu Xiaoxian has been condemned to death by Princess An Le in her heart, he will definitely not live. Over the years, Zhou Xian has seen too many such things.

Zhou Xian had also heard about the Jingning Gold Mine case, and he was originally suspicious of Princess Anle's statement that she was the person behind the scenes, but now he believed it.

Princess An Le can keep Feng Gui and You Tao mouth forever, and naturally she will not let go of Lu Xiaoxian, the initiator.

Thinking of Feng Gui and You Tao, Zhou Xian's face suddenly changed. Feng Gui and You Tao died in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department became the scapegoat.

If Lu Xiaoxian died in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, wouldn't he have to ......

……

Zhou Xian is not unfounded, his instincts are correct.

Liu Yang came out of Zhou Xian's inner hall and did not go back to the princess's mansion directly, but turned a corner and came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

The prison of Jingzhao Mansion was built on the west side of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and as soon as you enter the gate, you will see the prison gate of the prison to the left.

The prison is an independent courtyard, surrounded by the thickest of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and the walls are full of thorns and thorns.

It was obviously not the first time Liu Yang had been here, and he found the warden in the "prison hall" of the prison. The two are like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and they don't know what to talk about.

About half a pillar of incense work, Liu Yang leisurely left the Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

After sending Liu Yang away, the warden led the jailer to the light prison in the south.

The prison in Jingzhao Province is divided into heavy prison and light prison.

The northern part of the compound is the Heavy Prison, which houses prisoners of serious crimes and prisoners of capital crimes.

To the south of the compound is the Light Prison, which houses prisoners who are to be sentenced to prison for up to a prison sentence.

The cells were no different from the ordinary houses in Chang'an, except that the windows were smaller, the walls were thicker, and the walls were made of bricks to prevent prisoners from digging into the walls and escaping.

"Open the prison door!" The warden instructed the jailer guarding the door.

Seeing that the top boss was coming, the jailer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door of the light prison.

The warden led a few of the jailers who had come with him and walked straight to a cell.

In the cell, Lu Xiaoxian was sitting on the straw mat in the corner, silently thinking about his thoughts.

Lu Xiaoxian wore a fifteen-pound flail around his neck, which was a restraint made of dry wooden boards, and a round hole was dug in the middle to tie his neck.

Lu Xiaoxian also wore a "hand stick" on his hand, which was a torture tool for a mechanic.

The warden walked up to Lu Xiaoxian's cell, stared at him and asked, "Are you Lu Xiaoxian?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian raised his head and nodded at the warden.

"Who are you messing with, do you have to mess with Her Royal Highness Princess Anle?" The warden couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I've heard about you, it stands to reason that you are a man, I should be polite to you, but someone has confessed, you have to die here, and I can't do it." ”

After listening to the warden's words, Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Even if you want me to die, you have to go through the lobby to say it, you have no right to want me to die!" ”

The warden smiled and looked at Lu Xiaoxian with disdain: "You're right, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I don't have the right to let you die." But in fact, there are not a few people who died here, some were beaten to death, some were nailed to death with iron nails, some were doused with boiling water, and some were killed by other prisoners! ”

Lu Xiaoxian frowned, things had developed to this point, and it seemed that they were no longer under his control.

"When a prisoner dies, I can report it to my boss on the grounds of 'illness and death', and my boss will hardly send someone to find out the real cause of the deceased's death, as has been the case all these years! Do you understand? ”

With that, the warden waved his hand to the jailer beside him, and several jailers walked up to Lu Xiaoxian with understanding.

Lu Xiaoxian wanted to retreat, but he was wearing shackles and a pistle, and his movement was very inconvenient, and he was immediately knocked to the ground by the jailers, two of whom held his hands and feet, and the other gagged him with rags.

Before this, Lu Xiaoxian was very unimpressed by Princess Anle's power. Now, he understands a little bit that power sometimes works.

The two jailers carried a cloth bag full of yellow sand over and pressed it heavily on Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian clearly heard the warden's voice: "This method is called 'homespun bag', about half an hour, at most more than an hour, you can go to see the king of Hades." When the time comes, even if the best work comes, it will not be able to detect the slightest injury! ”

"Get that bag off for me!" As soon as the warden's words fell, a majestic voice sounded behind him.

The warden turned around in astonishment, and when he saw the man standing in front of him enter, his face turned pale.

"Mr. Leng catches the head, this ...... That's ......" the warden stammered, not knowing how to explain it.

"I don't care who asked you to do it, don't let me say it again!" As he spoke, Leng Qing was already angry, and slowly pulled out the saber from his waist.

Leng Qing is strong in martial arts, which is well-known in Chang'an.

Similarly, Leng Qing's words and stubborn temper are also well-known in Chang'an.

The warden knew that Leng Qing was not easy to mess with, and he had eaten public meals for so many years, of course he understood the truth that heroes do not suffer immediate losses.

Thinking of this, the warden hurriedly ordered the jailer: "Quick! Fast! Take it off! ”

The cloth bag was removed, and Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt a lightness on his body.

"Take your people, get out of here!" Leng Qing said again.

"Mr. Leng, what are you ......?" the warden asked boldly.

"I've taken over this prisoner!" Leng Qing pointed at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "From now on, he will be taken care of by me, and he has nothing to do with you!" ”

"Huh?" The warden was stunned, he had been in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had heard that prisoners could also take over.

"What? As the chief catcher of the Criminal Department, what is the fuss about taking over a prisoner? Leng Qing glared and said, "You can't be the master, let Zhou Fuyin come and talk to me!" ”

"Good! Good! I'm going to call Zhou Fuyin! The warden was busy.

The warden can't afford to provoke Leng Qing, since Leng Qing asked Zhou Xian to speak, the warden can just clear himself, why not?

"Wait!" Seeing that the warden turned his head to leave, Leng Qing stopped him again.

"What else does the chief catcher command?" The warden nodded.

"Unload his wooden shackles and handpieces!" Leng Qing ordered.

"This ......," the warden hesitated.

"What? Don't worry about me? Leng Qing stared at the warden viciously.

The warden couldn't help but shudder, since it is a favor, let's do it to the end! The warden ordered the jailer to remove Lu Xiaoxian's wooden flail and handpiece.

Lu Xiaoxian staggered to his feet, moving his numb hands and feet.

Leng Qing said to the jailer: "Okay, now you can lock the door of the cell!" ”

The jailer did as he was told, and locked the door.

"You can go!"

With a bang, the door of the light prison was closed, and the silence in the prison returned.

Leng Qing leaned the saber to the side, sat cross-legged outside Lu Xiaoxian's cell door, looked at the embarrassed Lu Xiaoxian, and couldn't help but quip, "Now I know, it's not good to be a hero, right?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian walked to the position of the cell door, sat down cross-legged, and chatted with Leng Qing across the fence......

……

On the morning of the 24th day of the third year of Jinglong, Cui Xiang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, played the book: It is rumored that the person behind the Jingning gold mine case in Chang'an is Princess Anle, and Feng Gui, the commander of Jingning County, and You Tao, the leader of the Red Dragon Gang, were both killed by Princess Anle. Now, Lu Xiaoxian, the person who made the merit in exposing the Jingning gold mine case, has been framed and imprisoned, and the rumors are even worse. In order to set the record straight and regain the innocence of Princess Le, I asked the Holy Lord to strengthen the protection of Lu Xiaoxian in case Feng Gui and You Tao died suddenly in prison. At the same time, I asked the Holy Decree to solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to let the meritorious people suffer unjustly wronged, and not to let the people of the Tang Dynasty feel cold.

Cui Xiang's recital is very clever, and it is all for the sake of Princess Anle, but in fact, he asked for a talisman for Lu Xiaoxian.

Li Xian immediately made a concert, and Leng Qing, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, made every effort to protect Lu Xiaoxian's safety, and sent Jin Wuwei to strictly guard the perimeter of the Jingzhao Mansion prison, and the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen cracked the case within three days.

After the early dynasty, Li Xian returned to the Ganlu Palace.

Seeing that Li Xian was sullen, Empress Wei asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you so worried?" ”

Li Xian glanced at Empress Wei and said unhurriedly: "You go and tell Bao'er, leave some room for everything, and it won't end well if you make people angry!" ”

Empress Wei said disapprenousively: "This world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, you are the son of the Tang Dynasty, who do you say dare to say no?" ”

Li Xianzheng said: "Don't forget, Emperor Dazong once said, Jun, Zhouye; people, water also; Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. ”

Empress Wei wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Xian's personal eunuch Yang Si coming in, she seemed to have something to report.

"What's the matter?" Li Xian glanced at Yang Si and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, the loyal general Ashina asks to see you!" Yang Sidao.

"Ashina Xian? He wants to see me? Li Xian was amazed.

Since Li Xian's reinstatement, he has also met with Ashina Xian, that is, at that meeting, Ashina Xian rejected all of Li Xian's canonization of him. After that, Li Xian never saw Ashina Xian again. Today, I heard that Ashina Xian suddenly came to visit, how could this not make Li Xian feel surprised?

"After the demotion, don't you see it!" Empress Wei commanded Yang Si rather disdainfully, "You go and tell him, just say that Your Majesty doesn't have time to see him!" ”

"Wait!" Li Xian glanced at Empress Wei dissatisfiedly and said: "The Ashina family has no merit in the Tang Dynasty, since Ashina has asked to see him, I can't refuse him, you should avoid it first!" ”

Empress Wei snorted and left without looking back.

Ashina presented Li Xian and made a courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and Li Xian asked in a harmonious voice: "Aiqing came to see me today, what happened?" ”

Ashina Xian didn't answer and asked: "I don't know if Your Majesty said that 'the Li family can't live with the Ashina family', is it still counted?" ”
