Shi Yao and the ten white-clothed sisters came to the gate of the mansion from outside talking and laughing all the way.

A family member ran out of the mansion door and said urgently: Miss, why did you come back, the master had an accident!

Hearing this, Shi Yao was taken aback and hurriedly asked: What happened to my father?

Jia Ding Dao: Early this morning, Xu Tinghua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, brought someone to issue the holy decree, and then took the old man away.

Shi Yao hurriedly asked: What did the holy decree say?

Jia Ding Dao: It seems that some people have joined the enemy in Liao, and the master also has a share.

Hearing this, Shi Yao was furious: Nonsense, how could my father collaborate with the enemy.

Jia Ding Dao: It's nonsense, we have followed the master for so many years, we still don't know what kind of person the master is, kill me, I don't believe that the master collaborated with the enemy, miss, think of a way, save the master.

Shi Yao asked: What about my mother?

Jia Ding said: Mrs. locked herself in the room and no one was allowed to enter.

Hearing this, Shi Yao pulled out his legs and ran into the mansion.

Shi Yao ran all the way to her mother's bedroom, and saw that the two doors were closed, and the two maids were anxiously waiting outside the door.

Seeing that Shi Yao was back, the two maids hurriedly came forward, and one of the maids was anxious: Miss, Mrs. locked herself in the room and cried, and we couldn't open the door no matter how we called.

Shi Yao nodded, walked to the door and raised his hand to pat on the door and shouted: Mother, it's me, I'm back, open the door quickly.

The crying in the house suddenly stopped, and after a while, footsteps came from the house, and then there was a "bang", the door opened, and Mrs. Shi appeared in front of the door with red and swollen eyes.

Shi Yao stepped into the room.

After entering the house, Shi Yao asked her mother urgently: Mother, what is going on with my father, why did the emperor order my father to be arrested?

Mrs. Shi said with tears: Early this morning, Lord Xu of the Criminal Department brought a holy decree, saying that a chief military officer named Chai Kang in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, suddenly disappeared in office, and it is rumored that he voted for the Great Liao Kingdom, and your father was his recommended person, so I suspected that your father also had a problem, and was dismissed from his post and arrested for trial in the Criminal Department.

Shi Yao said angrily: How can there be a problem with my father, someone must be framing my father, mother, I will go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see my father, ask me about the matter, and then find a way to save my father.

Mrs. Shi asked worriedly: Can people let you see it?

Shi Yao said: Yes, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and you should be able to see my father with more silver.

Mrs. Shi hurriedly said: Okay, I'll prepare silver for you, you go and see your father.

Shi Yao said: Mother, I have the silver, I'm leaving.

With that, he turned around and walked out.

Shi Yao came to the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and a person who looked like the head of the door came over and asked: This young lady, what are you doing in the prison of the Criminal Department?

Shi Yao asked: Did you come here this morning with a person named Shi Haibo?

The head of the gate guarded: You're talking about Lord Shi, the servant of the ministry, right?

Shi Yao said: Yes, it's him, he's my father, can I meet him if I want?

The head of the gate said: I'm afraid this won't work, Master Shi is an important criminal, the above has explained, no one is allowed to meet with Master Shi, Miss, I'm sorry, please go back.

Shi Yao said: My father has not been convicted yet, he is not an important person, I just want to ask my father what he needs, and he will come out after asking, it will not take much time, please make it convenient.

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a certain fifty taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into his hand: Is it okay?

The head of the door guard shook the silver and smiled: Miss is very good at coming to things, okay, for the sake of your filial piety, you can go in and take a look, but the time can't be long, give you two quarters of an hour.

Shi Yao smiled: Thank you then!

The head of the gate guard waved his hand: Miss, follow me.

Take Shi Yao to the prison door.

Shi Haibo sat on a wooden bed in his cell, staring at the sky in a daze.

Shi Yao came to the door of the prison cell, saw Shi Haibo inside through the gap in the fence, tears flowed down her eyes, and she hurriedly shouted inside: Dad, Dad, my daughter has come to see you.

Shi Haibo woke up suddenly, turned his head and saw that it was Shi Yao, first stunned, and then surprised: Yao'er, why did you ------ here? It's bad here, you shouldn't be here.

With that, he got up from the bed and walked over.

Shi Yao said: My daughter is not worried about her father, come and take a look, father,

What do you need not?

Shi Haibo shook his head: No, what do you need to squat in prison.

After a pause, he continued: Yao'er, I'm very worried about your mother, I entered here, your mother must not think about it, go back and persuade your mother, I'm fine, when the matter is clear, I can go back.

Shi Yao suddenly asked: Dad, tell me, is it because of my business that you are like this?

Shi Haibo hurriedly said: No, Yao'er, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you.

Shi Yao didn't believe it: Dad, you don't have to hide it from me, it must be that my father didn't agree to marry his daughter to that Wang Lang, and Wang Qin came up with such a Chai Dang incident to frame his father, otherwise he wouldn't have come to propose marriage and was dismissed by his father.

Hearing this, Shi Haibo said in a resolute tone: Even if this is the case, I will not marry you to his bastard son, Yao'er doesn't have to worry about this matter, you just need to take care of your mother at home.

Shi Yao's mouth moved and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and changed the topic: Dad, what do you want to eat, I will bring it to you when my daughter comes to see you next time.

Shi Haibo said: Dad doesn't want to eat anything, you don't want to come here again in the future, the prison is very unlucky, and it is not suitable for you to come.

Shi Yao smiled: Dad, don't forget that your daughter is a chivalrous woman, a secluded woman, and she is not afraid of any bad luck.

Shi Haibo also smiled: You girl is quite capable of blowing.

Stretched out his hand from the gap in the fence and gently touched Shi Yao's head and said: Yao'er, you are not too young, you are at the age of marriage, do you have anything you like, if you have it, you can set it, and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to marry.

Hearing this, Shi Yao was embarrassed: Dad, what do you say, my daughter is still young, so I am not in a hurry to get married. Otherwise, the daughter will not marry at all, and she will spend her life at home with her father.

Hearing this, Shi Haibo glared at Shi Yao and said: Nonsense, your mother and I don't want you to accompany us at home, you hurry up and find someone to marry, otherwise, people still think that my daughter can't marry if there is something wrong.

At this time, the head of the gate guard hurriedly walked over and said to Shi Yao: Miss Shi, leave quickly, there is a word from above, and Lord Shangshu will come here to interrogate Lord Shi in a while.

Shi Haibo hurriedly waved to Shi Yao: Yao'er, let's go, it's not good for the people above to find out that you are here.

Tears flowed from Shi Yao's eyes again, and she was reluctant: Dad, my daughter will come to see you in a few days.

With that, he turned and walked out.

Li Yinglong relied on his memory to find the gate of the imperial city where Zhao Ying had brought him last time, and from a distance, there were dozens of Praetorian Guards with swords standing on both sides of the city gate, and several teams of mobile sentinels patrolling back and forth in front of the city gate.

Li Yinglong walked towards the gate of the imperial city, and when he was more than ten steps away from the city gate, a leader of the Praetorian Guard with a long sword at his waist shouted to him: Hey! Stop, what?

Li Yinglong said: Entered the palace.

After that, he reached out and took out the jade plate from his bosom and flashed it at that head.

The leader recognized this jade plate, and hurriedly bowed his waist and said: See the lord!

Li Yinglong asked: Can I go in?

The leader of the Praetorian Guard stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: Your Excellency, please come in.

Li Yinglong strode towards the door.

The Queen Mother sat on the edge of the bed and meditated on her mind, not knowing what she thought, a smile appeared on her face for a while, and a sad look appeared on her face for the next.

A palace maid walked in with a tray, and there were four plates of delicate dim sum on the plate, and the palace maid took out the dim sum from the tray and placed it on the table, and then walked lightly to the queen mother and said: Queen Mother, the dim sum is here, eat some.

The queen mother woke up, looked at the palace maid, and waved her hand: I don't eat, you can go out.

The palace maid hurriedly said: Yes, the queen mother.

Turn around and walk out.

Suddenly, the queen mother seemed to think of something again, and instructed her: Xiaolan, you go to Zhengyangmen to take a look, is there a young man surnamed Li who wants to enter the palace to see me, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door and refused to let me in.

Hearing this, the palace maid Xiaolan was stunned, nodded and said: Yes, I will go.

But before she could walk out of the door, the Queen Mother said again: Forget it, don't go, he has a jade plate in his hand, and the guards who want to enter the palace will not dare to stop him, you go and do your thing.

Xiaolan responded: Yes, Queen Mother.

Accordingly, he withdrew

Although Li Yinglong has entered the palace once, he still does not have a labyrinthine road

Knowing how to go, just when he was hesitating at a fork in the road, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little palace maid came across from him, and he hurriedly stopped her and asked: Little sister, how to go to Cining Palace?

Hearing this, the little palace maid looked at him vigilantly and asked: Who are you?

Li Yinglong said: I came from Luoyang and wanted to see the Queen Mother.

Hearing this, the little palace maid reprimanded him solemnly and said: Can anyone see the queen mother, leave here quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble if the palace guards find out.

Li Yinglong was angry, and glared: Grandma Ganpi, what are you talking about, I came to see the Queen Mother, and I am not a bad person, why are you afraid that the guards will find out, I ------ right, I have this thing.

After that, he reached out and took out the jade plate from his arms and showed it to the little palace maid: Do you know this card? The queen mother said that when the people in the palace saw this jade plaque, they would send me to her.

The little palace maid didn't know this jade card, and her eyes widened: Hey, who are you bluffing, just a broken card, let me send you to see the queen mother, do you think the queen mother's Cining Palace is a vegetable market, anyone who takes a broken brand and goes for a while.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong was so angry that he almost fainted, and his eyes were about to get angry, but then he thought about it and said in his heart: Forget it, what kind of anger is it with a hairy girl who doesn't understand anything.

Ignoring her, he walked forward.

But the little palace maid refused to let him go, and shouted to him: Stop! Where are you going, didn't I tell you to leave quickly?

Li Yinglong was on fire now, and turned around and yelled at her: What about Grandma, grandpa, I see that you are a little girl and don't want to take care of you, why are you so energetic, is it itchy to find a flat.

The little palace maid was scared, frightened: What do you ------ you want to do, tell you that this is the palace, is ------

At this moment, two palace guards with long swords came over, and the little palace maid suddenly shouted to them: There are bad people here, come and catch the bad guys!

Hearing this, the two palace guards were startled, hurriedly drew their swords and quickly ran to Li Yinglong, and then shouted with the long sword in their hands: Who are you? Where did it come from?

Li Yinglong was so angry, he flashed the jade plate in his hand to the two guards and said loudly: I am from here, don't you know this jade plate either.

Of course, the two guards knew each other, and hurriedly put away their long swords and saluted Li Yinglong in unison: "See your lordship!"

A guard asked, "My lord, what's going on?"

Li Yinglong pointed to the little palace maid with his hand: You ask her.

The guard asked: What's going on?

The little palace maid was surprised and said: It turns out that you know each other.

Hearing this, the guards reprimanded with a glaring eye: What do you know or not, this adult holds the queen mother's jade medal of the prison country, and he is the queen mother's person, how did he become a bad person, how did you do it.

The little palace maid said scaredly: I'm sorry, I just entered the palace, I don't know this card, I ------ me-------

Suddenly, he said to Li Yinglong: Big brother, I'll take you to Cining Palace.

The guard said to Li Yinglong: My lord, the palace maid has destroyed the authority of the queen mother's jade plate and broken the palace rules, please send it down.

The little palace maid knew that she was in trouble, and her face turned white with fright, she "pounced" and knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yinglong: My lord, Wan'er doesn't recognize the jade plate, I offended the adult, please raise your noble hand and spare Wan'er, Wan'er will never dare again.

Li Yinglong softened his heart when he saw the little palace maid looking pitiful, and waved his hand to the guard: Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, you can go with your business.

The two guards replied in unison: Yes, my lord!

Then, he pulled his legs and walked away.

The little palace maid was still kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Li Yinglong squatted down and smiled "hee-hee": Are you afraid?

The little palace maid nodded again and again and trembled: I------'m afraid, I'm afraid, I'm ------, I'm afraid of death.

Li Yinglong raised his hand and patted her on the head and said: You little girl, dry skin grandma, I don't know how thick the sky is, if it weren't for the fact that you are still young, I would have to beat you.

The little palace maid hurriedly said: Lord ------, Wan'er doesn't dare anymore.

Li Yinglong's eyes glared and shouted: Why don't you stand up quickly and take me to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother.

The little palace maid hurriedly said: Yes, yes!

got up from the ground and walked forward with Li Yinglong.
