Jia Ke took Li Deshan, changed his outfit, went out of the palace, and came directly to the prison of the Criminal Department.

At the gate of this prison of the Criminal Department, there are already secret guards waiting here, and as soon as they see Li Deshan coming, you can go up and salute Li Deshan.

Li Deshan waved his hand to get them up, and then asked, "Is everything arranged inside?" ”

"If you go back to your father-in-law, all the officials have been separated by us, and your father-in-law can go with confidence."

Li Deshan nodded, and then sent them away, and after these people left, Li Deshan carefully returned to Jia Ke's side.

"Master, it's all arranged."

Jia Ke was silent for a long time, and did not go inside immediately, to talk about this matter, he did feel a little guilty about Fan Kang, and now he said that he was going to send Fan Kang on the last journey, but he was a little afraid to see him.

Jia Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to meet his former advisor one last time.

"Lead the way."

Li Deshan listened to Jia Ke's instructions, and immediately led Jia Ke in front, and the two of them advanced in the dark cells, and from time to time heard the moans of the prisoners in the cells on both sides.

When they got to the innermost room, there was a separate cell, which was where Fan Kang was held.

There were two secret guards standing at this gate, and as soon as they saw Li Deshan coming, they immediately came forward to salute.

Li Deshan didn't say much, and directly instructed them: "Open the prison door, you just go outside and wait, you can't come in without my orders." “

These secret guards, which one of them is not seen, listened to Li Deshan's instructions, and didn't say much, directly opened the door of the cell, and then stepped aside, and then said like Li Deshan: "I'll wait outside, just shout if my father-in-law has anything to say." ”

After these men finished speaking, they bowed and withdrew.

At this time, Li Deshan entered the door of the cell first, and when he looked up, he saw Fan Kang sitting unkempt on a pile of haystacks.

Fan Kang heard the cell door and wanted to look up, it was Li Deshan who came in, he just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but saw Li Deshan look at the cell and retreated.

After a while, I saw a man dressed in ordinary clothes enter the cell. Fan Kang looked at it so carefully, isn't it Jia Ke, which one is it?

Fan Kang saw that since it was Jia Ke who came, he hurriedly struggled to get up, knelt in front of Jia Ke and kowtowed to him.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Fan Kang kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly hugged him with his hand, and after he helped him up, he looked at Wan Kang's now depressed appearance, and his eyes were moist.

In the end, Jia Ke took a breath of relief, and personally helped Fan Kang to the haystack, and the two of them sat on the haystack like this.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, but after a while, Fan Kang spoke first, "The emperor doesn't have to be sad for the guilty ministers, I am also to blame." Fan Kang sighed when he said this.

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke's face became a little more guilty, and finally said, "Isn't Mr. Fan to blame me? ”

Fan Kang sighed, "If you don't blame the emperor, it's a lie to the emperor, but the matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about it?" ”

Jia Ke was silent for a while, and finally said to Fan Kang: "Sir, don't worry, after you go, I will take care of the affairs of the family, and I will definitely take care of your lady and the children in the family." ”

Fan Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this time he didn't affect his family.

So Fan Kang arched his hand at Jia Ke and said, "That criminal minister is here, thank you emperor." ”

Jia Ke nodded, then stood up and turned to leave the cell. Li Deshan, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly followed out.

When Jia Ke left the prison of the Criminal Department, he suddenly stopped and said to Li Deshan behind him: "Change Mr. Fan to a cleaner place, and from now on, good wine and good food will be served." ”

Li Deshan listened and hurriedly agreed.

Jia Ke then sighed again, and then left the cell and returned to the palace.

In the next few days, Jia Ke didn't think about tea and dinner, and often sighed for a long time, and Li Deshan next to him persuaded him many times to no avail.

On the day of Fan Kang's execution, Jia Ke was even more restless, and even missed several times and couldn't break the teacup.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, a little eunuch came in to report, and Jiang Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was waiting outside.

After Jia Ke listened, he knew that Jiang Yan had come to report on the process of Fan Kang's execution, so Jia Ke sent a message to let him in.

After a while, Jiang Yan cautiously entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, came to the imperial case, first knelt down and bowed three times and nine bows to Jia Ke, and only after Jia Ke asked him to get up, did he dare to stand aside cautiously.

"Fan Kang didn't suffer any crimes on the execution ground, right?" Old Friends Book House

Jiang Yan heard this and hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, Fan Kang has not suffered any crime, his body has been taken away by Madame." ”

Jia Ke let out a long sigh when he heard this, and didn't say anything more, and waved his hand weakly to let Jiang Yan withdraw.

Jiang Yan bowed down and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he came to the outside of the hall, he also sighed that Jia Ke and Fan Kang had a deep relationship between the master and servant.

After Jiang Yan left, Jia Ke asked Li Deshan on the side: "How did I ask you to do it?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, everything is going well, Mr. Fan got a whole corpse."

After Jia Ke listened, he nodded silently.

It turned out that Jia Ke still felt guilty about Fan Kang, although he said that he was determined to kill Fan Kang, but he wanted him to have a whole corpse when he thought about it like this.

So this matter fell on Li Deshan, who hurriedly found a few famous executioners and asked them how to keep the whole body when beheading.

Although these people are old and no longer do this business, they have experience.

They told Li Deshan that as long as they were looking for a person with outstanding knife skills, this knife would fall, although the person would be killed with one knife, but the last part of the skin and flesh were still connected, so that the head would not fall.

After Li Deshan heard this, he immediately ordered someone to find a person with very sharp knife skills and let this person preside over Fan Kang's beheading.

Sure enough, this executioner's knife skills were really powerful, and Fan Kang was killed immediately after just one slash, without any pain, but his head was not completely cut off.

Hearing this, Jia Ke finally let go of some guilt, and then then ordered: "Mr. Fan's family will be taken care of by you in the future, whether they still want to live in the capital or go back to their hometown, you have to send someone to watch them, so as to save those blind bullying them." ”

Li Deshan hurriedly nodded his head and agreed with a bow.

In the next few days, Jia Ke's mood still did not recover, after all, Fan Kang has also been a teacher and friend to him for so many years, and now that he has killed him, the hurdle in his heart is not so easy to pass.

Fortunately, there was good news from the harem at this time, Shi Xiangyun, who had not given birth for many years, was finally pregnant.

The first newsFor this news, Jia Ke was quite happy, and he was loyal to a happy event in the palace to get rid of the bad luck during this time.

And Jia's mother in Ningshou Palace, after hearing that Shi Xiangyun was pregnant, she smiled with joy. As soon as this child is born, it can at least guarantee the glory and wealth of their Shi family.

So Jia's mother sent all kinds of cherished medicines from Ningshou Palace to Shi Xiangyun's Zhongcui Palace without money.

At the same time, Jia's mother has also fought in the harem all her life, and knows that Shi Xiangyun's child is too much of a threat to others, so she sent several experienced grandmothers who are close to her to Shi Xiangyun's Zhongcui Palace to be responsible for Shi Xiangyun's diet and daily life.

And Jia's mother's worry is not unreasonable, when the news of Shi Xiangyun's pregnancy reached Chengqian Palace, Xue Baochai smiled and was happy on the surface, but in fact, he had secretly torn a few handkerchiefs.

In Xue Baochai's opinion, her son is already the crown prince in the palace, and the others are not on the stage and cannot compete with her children.

But Shi Xiangyun is pregnant now, the situation is different, although she is now the imperial concubine, a head higher than Shi Xiangyun, but this is just Jia Ke seeing that she has the ability to make it convenient for her to be in charge of the harem.

If you want to talk about her strength in the harem, then Xue Baochai can't compare to the Empress Dowager Jia Mu in Ningshou Palace.

With Jia's mother helping Shi Xiangyun, there is too much threat to his son's future succession, so Xue Baochai thought of using the power in his hands to let Shi Xiangyun, the child, go to the west as soon as possible.

How do you know that Xue Baochai this time, but she suffered a loss, and the few people she sent didn't get close to Shi Xiangyun, but they were seen by the old women beside him, and then these people disappeared from the palace.

After that, Jia's mother killed the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room on the grounds that the food cooked in the imperial dining room was unappetizing.

You must know that the chief eunuch of this imperial dining room, but the person designated by Xue Baochai himself is now being killed in front of so many people, so this is slapping Xue Baochai in the face.

And Xue Baochai had to hurry up to Ningshou Palace to apologize to Mother Jia, after all, she was in charge of the harem and did not serve the Empress Dowager well, no matter what the reason, it was her sin.

And Jia Mu didn't give Xue Baochai any face at this moment, and directly asked her to kneel outside Ningshou Palace for nearly an hour before sending her back.

After this incident, Xue Baochai also understood that she couldn't afford to offend Jia's mother in the harem, so she could only stop fighting.

It was in this year that Shi Xiangyun finally gave birth to a son she had been looking forward to for a long time - Zhao Wang Jia Ming.

Since the birth of her son, Shi Xiangyun's temperament has immediately converged, and she is no longer as lively as before, and she now has nothing in her heart except her son.

And the Empress Dowager Jia's mother attaches more importance to Shi Xiangyun's son, and personally chooses a grandmother and a nurturing grandmother for her, if it weren't for Shi Xiangyun's inseparability from her son, Jia's mother would have wanted to take this child to her side and raise it.

And the people in the palace also saw the clues, and now the most promising inheritance in the harem is the son of the imperial concubine Xue - Qi Wang Jia Hui, and the son of the noble concubine Shi Zhao Wang Jia Ming.

But now it seems that the two sides are evenly matched, one mother is the imperial concubine in charge of the harem, and the other has the support of the queen mother behind him.
