Jiuhuang rode all the way to the emperor street in the capital at night, and came all the way to the Dali Temple, which managed to take in the felons of the Celestial Empire.

It was getting late, and the front of the Dali Temple, which was majestic and terrible in the eyes of everyone, had become much deserted during the day. Despite this, the guards at the entrance of Dali Temple are also very strict.

Jiuhuang turned over and dismounted, and walked up the steps. The officers and soldiers waiting at the door stepped forward to stop Jiuhuang and said, "Who broke into Dali Temple at night?" ”

"I am the Lord of Jiuhuang County, and I want to visit Lord Xu Yangxu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

Jiuhuang squinted at the two officers and soldiers who stopped her.

The two officers and soldiers looked at each other when they heard this, although they had never seen the county lord of Jiuhuang, but they had heard of the reputation of Jiuhuang. Now it is no longer possible to call Jiuhuang the county lord, but should be called King Jing.

They even knew why Jiuhuang came to visit Xu Yang, because Xu Yang was Jiuhuang's father-in-law, which was something that everyone knew in Shangjing and even in the Celestial Empire.

After Jiuhuang's words, the two officers and soldiers looked at Jiuhuang with a look of embarrassment and said: "County Lord, it's really not that the little ones don't let the county lord visit the prison, but Lord Zhou has an order, and no one is allowed to visit Xu Yang." ”

The officers and soldiers raised their heads while explaining to Jiuhuang, and looked at Jiuhuang's face cautiously.

Jiuhuang heard the words of the two officers and soldiers, and thought in his heart who was in charge of Dali Temple: Zhou Xiong, Lord Zhou, who managed Dali Temple.

"Don't worry, if Lord Zhou blames him, I will take care of it, and I won't make it difficult for you." Jiuhuang thought for a while and said to the two officers and soldiers.

However, after listening to Jiuhuang's words, the two officers and soldiers did not agree to let Jiuhuang enter Dali Temple to visit Xu Yang, but only listened to them say: "County Lord, without the order of Lord Zhou, the small ones dare not let anyone in, unless there is a holy decree from the emperor." ”

The embarrassed look of the two officers and soldiers and the unwillingness to let go of Jiuhuang to visit Xu Yang in the prison made Jiuhuang's heart think a lot.

Jiuhuang seriously looked at the two officers and soldiers who stopped her in front of her, although they had a look of embarrassment on their faces, but after Jiuhuang's careful scrutiny, Jiuhuang found that there was no look of embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing this, Jiuhuang thought about it a little in his heart and knew what was going on.

It must have been Zhou Xiong who specially ordered the officers and soldiers not to visit Xu Yang, although I don't know why Zhou Xiong gave such an order; But Jiuhuang can't think about the reason for Zhou Xiong's order now, she must now meet Xu Yang as soon as possible to ask the reason for the matter of embezzlement of ink.

"Are you afraid that Zhou Xiong will blame you, aren't you afraid of 'this king'? Could it be that this king's words are not up to Zhou Xiong's words? ”

Jiuhuang's body exuded a cold aura, making the two officers and soldiers who stopped in front of her feel that they were obviously in the middle of summer, but they felt as if they were in the cold winter and heavy snow.

Although Zhou Xiong is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is also a member of the fourth rank of the Celestial Empire; And Jiuhuang is also the prince of the Celestial Empire, although he is a canonized prince of the opposite sex, but he is also a member of the royal family, although Jiuhuang does not have much power in his hands, but it is an inevitable fact that she is the prince.

So the words of a prince are of course much more authoritative than the words of a Sipin official, the two officers and soldiers were originally Zhou Xiong's henchmen, and after receiving Zhou Xiong's order, the people of the Xu Mansion or anyone who came to visit Xu Yang were not allowed to enter the prison.

The two officers and soldiers did not expect that the first person to come to visit the prison would be Jiuhuang, who is now hotly discussed in Shangjingzhong and even the entire Celestial Empire.

Faced with Jiuhuang's identity and the threat in his words, the two officers and soldiers had no choice but to let Jiuhuang enter the prison to visit Xu Yang.

After Jiuhuang entered the prison to visit Xu Yang, one of the two officers and soldiers who had stopped Jiuhuang just now hurriedly ran towards Zhou Xiong's mansion, this is to report to Zhou Xiong; The two thought that Jiuhuang didn't know the behavior of the two, but in fact, after thinking about Zhou Xiong's deliberate order not to let people visit Xu Yang, Jiuhuang had already guessed that after he broke into the prison, the two officers and soldiers would definitely report to Zhou Xiong.

However, Jiuhuang didn't have the heart to take into account the behavior of the two officers and soldiers, and after successfully breaking through the barrier of the officers and soldiers, Jiuhuang hurriedly followed the jailer who stuck to the prison to lead the way to detain Xu Yang.

Before coming to Xu Yang's cell, Jiuhuang took out a few pieces of silver from his body and bought the two jailers behind him, leaving only himself and Xu Yang in the cell.

"Daddy"

A familiar voice came into Xu Yang's ears, Xu Yang, who was originally facing away from Jiuhuang in the cell, hurriedly turned around, after seeing the familiar figure, Xu Yang's face was full of excitement, but after an instant, the excitement on his face was replaced by don't worry.

Xu Yang looked at Jiuhuang and said, "Why are you here, hurry back to the house, don't get involved in this matter." ”

Xu Yang said this, and what he thought in his heart was: Jiuhuang has just been named King Jing, and he can't be delayed by his own affairs, and even more, if Jiuhuang is involved by someone with a heart, it will have too much impact on Jiuhuang's future life.

He always remembered what Yunmeng Zhenren had said to him at the beginning, the Nine Phoenix was not a thing in the pool, and when the time was ripe, he would definitely be able to soar into the sky for nine days. Although he didn't know if Jiuhuang was ripe for this now, he still didn't want to affect Jiuhuang because of his own affairs.

This is Xu Yang treating Jiuhuang as his own daughter, and he is doing his best for Jiuhuang's sake; Of course, there is another reason, that is, Xu Yang knew that he was slandered by someone with a heart this time, but now he has no idea how the other party detained the matter of greedy ink on his head, so that the emperor who has always trusted him, him, and his Xu family will believe it.

I have been an official for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of things. The matter of lust made Xu Yang know that this matter was not a simple matter of his greed for ink, and there was a bigger conspiracy that had not been unearthed. Once he is caught in the matter of greedy ink, then he will not be able to escape the criminal law, and the lady of the house, Ling, will have to take care of Jiuhuang, and he also chooses why he was full of worry from the initial moment of excitement after seeing Jiuhuang enter the prison.

Hearing Xu Yang's question, Jiuhuang looked at Xu Yang, who looked a little old after only a few hours in the prison, and said: "My daughter is not filial, but she was not in the house when her father was killed, so my mother was worried in the house alone." ”

It is indeed her unfilial piety, Jiuhuang thought so. If she could return to the Xu Mansion earlier, before asking the facts, she would definitely not let Xu Yang be arrested even if she resisted the decree.

When Xu Yang heard Jiuhuang's words, he sighed sadly in his heart, how could Xu Yang not understand Jiuhuang's intentions.

"You have seen me now, hurry back to the house, take a good look at your mother, I'm fine."

I heard the helplessness from Xu Yang's words, and I also understood that Xu Yang was driving himself away, but how could Jiuhuang, who finally broke into the prison of Dali Temple and saw Xu Yang, leave without asking the facts?

"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of my mother." Jiuhuang replied to what Xu Yang said just now, she knew that Xu Yang and his wife were deeply in love, and Xu Yang would be worried about the Ling family in Xu's mansion when he entered the Dali Temple prison.

Jiuhuang continued after saying this: "Dad, I believe that you will not be greedy for ink, but why was you taken into custody of Dali Temple by a holy decree of the emperor because of greed for ink?" ”

Xu Yang heard Jiuhuang's words, looked at Jiuhuang, and didn't plan to say anything to Jiuhuang, but Jiuhuang seemed to know what Xu Yang was thinking in his heart, so he only heard her say: "Dad, I know you don't want me and my mother to worry, but you have entered Dali Temple, how can you let me and my mother really feel at ease?" If you tell me the truth of the matter, I can hand over the evidence to the emperor, and you can wash away your innocence. ”

After listening to Jiuhuang's words, Xu Yang, who was in prison, was stunned. He looked at Jiuhuang outside a prison door in front of him, and was shocked by Jiuhuang's words.

You must know that the person who was ordered to be imprisoned in Dali Temple has no possibility of finding evidence to clear his grievances, but Jiuhuang she...

Xu Yang couldn't help but start looking at the woman in front of him, who was accepted as a righteous daughter ten years ago, and Xu Yang realized that the person in front of him was no longer the little girl who had a broken family and didn't want to get close to anyone.

Now she not only went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but also relied on her own arrogance to take back Jingzhou, avenge her family, take Batu, and become the first person to be named the queen and have her own territory since the founding of the Celestial Empire.

Jiuhuang saw that Xu Yang had been staring at him but didn't speak, and said anxiously: "Dad, if you believe me, I will definitely wash away your grievances for you and arrest the person who framed you." ”

Xu Yang was pulled back to his senses by Jiuhuang's voice, looking at the serious Jiuhuang in front of him, Xu Yang thought in his heart that he might believe that she could really let herself wash away the grievances on her body.

Thinking like this, after some inner entanglement, Xu Yang said to Jiuhuang: "Dad believes, believes that you are not a thing in the pool." ”

Xu Yang's words seemed to be listening to Jiuhuang, but more of them were talking and listening to himself. Then he looked at Jiuhuang and said, "But I don't know who slandered me for being greedy for ink in this matter, and made the emperor believe his words." ”

Jiuhuang originally saw that Xu Yang was willing to believe her, and then he would learn some important news from Xu Yang's mouth, but he didn't expect that he didn't know why he was framed for greedy ink, so how could she investigate?

"Dad, don't you really know?" Jiuhuang looked at Xu Yang, thinking in his heart that maybe Xu Yang was unwilling to let her participate.

But when the words came out, Jiuhuang looked at Xu Yang, not letting go of the slightest expression on Xu Yang's face, and finally really believed Xu Yang's words, he really didn't know what the truth was.

The father and daughter in the prison fell into silence, and then after a long time, Jiuhuang spoke up: "Dad, don't worry, I will secretly investigate this matter and will definitely rescue you." ”

Xu Yang originally wanted to open his mouth to stop Jiuhuang, but looking at the seriousness in Jiuhuang's eyes, he couldn't say anything at all.
