Ji Qingwen personally took out the wine and food on the plate, and took the opportunity that everyone was not paying attention, and glanced at Zhou Xiuying, as if he was asking if the matter of passing on the specific location of Yuan Chonghuan's cell was really done.

Zhou Xiuying's heart was as clear as a mirror, nodded vigorously, and made an unmistakable and definite expression.

Only then did Ji Qingwen put his mind at ease, and took the wine glass to persuade Yuan Chonghuan to have several glasses of wine.

After eating a few more bites of food, Ji Qingwen turned around and took a piece of clothing from Li Yuanyin's hand, shook it open and spread it in front of Yuan Chonghuan, and said, "Inspector Yuan, I see that the clothes on your body are still the ones you wore when you were in prison more than a year ago, and they are already in tatters. Now that we're going to 'hit the road', we have to make a beautiful scene, so why don't we change into this new clothes? ”

Yuan Chonghuan shook his head slightly and said, "The kindness of the lord, Yuan Mou understands it." It's just that Yuan, who is about to die, doesn't even want this stinky skin, let alone a new piece of clothing? Please take it back with you. ”

Ji Qingwen didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to say this, so he hurriedly said: "Inspector Yuan refuses slowly, you can see first, what kind of clothes is this!" ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen asked Li Yuanyin to bring a dim oil lamp in the cell closer, and used the dim and flickering fire light from the oil lamp to illuminate the clothes in his hand.

I saw that this dress was well-made and well-shaped, and it was carefully cut at first glance. The fabric used is the best scarlet satin produced by the Suzhou Weaving Yamen, the whole body is smooth and flat, reflecting the faint light emitted by a small oil lamp, and it actually illuminates a small prison full of red light, as if a flame has been lit.

looked at the clothes again, but saw that on the scarlet satin, there were clearly embroidered several pythons, and the teeth and claws were not majestic......

Yuan Chonghuan looked stupid, and was stunned before he said: "Lord Ji, isn't this the uniform of a first-class civil official?" ”

Ji Qingwen nodded with a smile and said, "Inspector Yuan has a good memory, and he really hasn't forgotten the official robe he wore back then. Today's robe is my gift to the overseer, and I ask the superintendent to accept it with a smile. ”

Yuan Chonghuan sighed heavily and said, "Lord Ji really has a heart. Well, but it's disrespectful, then Yuan has the courage to accept it! ”

After that, Yuan Chonghuan took half a step forward and was just about to take the python robe from Ji Qingwen's hand, but he heard a voice in his ears: "Wait!" This matter does not conform to the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and it is absolutely not feasible! ”

Ji Qingwen followed the voice and turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Luo Yangxing who was expressing his objections, so he asked: "Commander Luo, you have made it clear, but it is just a change of clothes, why is it not in line with the rules of the imperial court?" ”

Luo Yangxing made an iron face and replied: "Don't forget, sir, Yuan Chonghuan is still a prisoner, and he will be beheaded tomorrow to show the public, how can he wear a first-class official uniform?" ”

Ji Qingwen sneered: "Commander Luo's eyes are not very good, right?" You can see clearly, there is no dragon and phoenix carved on this dress, and it is not a court official robe, but it is just exquisite workmanship and luxurious materials, so what's the big deal? According to the "Da Ming Law" set by my Emperor Taizu, businessmen who do business are not allowed to wear silk clothes, but if you look at the situation outside, the person wearing silk and satin, that is the person who raises silkworms and cuts silk? ”

Ji Qingwen had long known that Luo Yangxing would object, and this passage was specially prepared for him.

However, Luo Yangxing achieved the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and naturally he had already cultivated to the point that the water could not be splashed and the knife could not be inserted, and he flatly refused: "This is not good. This is an extraordinary affair that cannot be compared with the ostentatious ostentaties of the rich and unkind. ”

Changing clothes is an important preparation for Ji Qingwen to save Yuan Chonghuan, how could Luo Yangxing's words be stopped?

So Ji

Qingwen was ruthless and said: "Commander Luo, then let me ask you, what crime should Yuan Chonghuan be guilty of as a prisoner and wearing a first-class official uniform?"

"The sin of trespassing shall be punished according to the law." Luo Yangxing replied.

"That's good. Then tomorrow Yuan Chonghuan will be beheaded, so what's the harm if he commits one more capital crime today? Commander Luo, these words are what I said, if you are not happy, you can naturally hand the emperor a piece of impeachment for me overnight, and I will never stop you. ”

After that, Ji Qingwen instructed Li Yuanyin to change Yuan Chonghuan's clothes, and said: "If Commander Luo can't get used to it, go out first." I have been to this prison many times, and I know the way home, so I don't need your commander Luo to lead it! ”

Luo Yangxing came this time just to see Ji Qingwen, how could he be easily blown away?

He thought about it again: Etiquette matters can be big or small, now is not the time to tear your face with Ji Qingwen, it is not worth it to make a stiff fight on the spot for this matter.

Thinking of this, Luo Yangxing didn't say much, turned his head, and pretended not to see it.

So Yuan Chonghuan changed his clothes in a moment, and he really had the demeanor of the Jiliao Inspector who was dominating the wind and clouds and crisscrossing the territory in the past.

Ji Qingwen broke into the prison of the Criminal Department today, and the things to be done were basically done, so he praised a few words, and half-truthfully said a few more goodbyes to Yuan Chonghuan, and then beckoned Li Yuanyin and Zhou Xiuying to leave the prison of the Criminal Department.

When leaving, Ji Qingwen did not forget to take away the old clothes that Yuan Chonghuan had changed into.

Leaving the prison of the Criminal Department, Ji Qingwen finally breathed the fresh air outside, and suddenly remembered that his plan to rescue Yuan Chonghuan had been completed by at least 55.34 percent, and his mood suddenly improved, and when he saw that Luo Yangxing also came out, he said: "Commander Luo, today's facts are a reluctant request, but Commander Luo still helped me do it." This kindness, I Ji Qingwen wrote down. ”

Although there are some twists and turns, Ji Qingwen can still be quite peaceful when he comes out and goes in.

Therefore, Luo Yangxing was also quite pleased, and said a few words such as: The lord is affectionate and righteous, and he is a model for my generation.

Saying that, Luo Yangxing said again: "Lord Ji, the execution of Yuan Chonghuan tomorrow is a big scene, I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and my duty is to come to deploy, it is not early now, and the last general will be less accompanied." ”

With that, he said goodbye and left.

Ji Qingwen watched Luo Yangxing go away, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Li Yuanyin and Zhou Xiuying: "Fortunately, I finally got things done......

Li Yuanyin was cautious and reminded: "Sir, things haven't been done yet, and it's not the time to relax and be discouraged." What Commander Luo said just now is that it is not early now, and it is not too late for the lord to finish the matter and then discourage and rest. ”

Although Li Yuanyin's words were not listened to, they were reasonable, Ji Qingwen nodded when he heard it, and turned around and walked towards the small courtyard he had just bought near the prison of the Criminal Department.

In the courtyard, Li Yan was already waiting for Ji Qingwen to come back, and when he saw that he had a little joy on his face, he said with a smile: "Brother Ji, is the matter done?" ”

Ji Qingwen nodded proudly: "Well, it's almost." However, it is not entirely successful, and our brothers still have to work hard to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

After that, Ji Qingwen turned his head to Zhou Xiuying and said, "Miss Xiuying, now it's your turn to help me do things, and everything will be handled according to the prior agreement." But you can't hurt the innocent, can you? ”

Zhou Xiuying nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth showed a terrifying beautiful smile, and she jumped out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the dimming light.

Li Yuanyin frowned and said, "Lord Ji, although the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed, this week Xiuying

is still a cult witch, it seems a little inappropriate to let her handle such a big matter alone, right? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? To do this kind of thing, one must be decisive, the second must be confidential, and the third must be fast, in the whole world, except for Zhou Xiuying, who else can do it? Ji Qingwen replied.

Li Yuanyin shook his head: "I'm afraid that this demon girl will act strangely......"

Ji Qingwen said: "According to me, those ordinary and sanctimonious guys, if they do things like chickens and dogs behind their backs, they are treacherous villains." On the other hand, if a nominally treacherous person acts above board, then he is a righteous man and a gentleman. Commander Li is used to trying cases in Jinyiwei, and he still has some prejudices about the White Lotus Sect to a greater or lesser extent...... Not surprising. ”

Li Yan also helped on the side and said: "Brother Ji's words are exactly what I want. Now there is no distinction between good and evil in this officialdom, if you talk about loyalty, filial piety and shame, those first-class and second-grade officials are not as good as Zhang Zhixiu, who sells wontons. Those saint quotes were really read into the belly of the dog by this group of bastards. ”

Ji Qingwen was angry when he heard Li Yan's words, and hurriedly smiled: "Why should Brother Li be like this? It is extremely difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the whole world, and there are naturally good people and bad people among those who read. No, next year will be the year of the scientific examination, with Brother Li's talent and learning will inevitably be titled on the gold list, and then I will give Brother Li some funding and support, maybe in less than three years, Brother Li will enter the cabinet to pay respects. ”

Li Yan looked serious: "Hmph! I've seen it through this time I've been in Beijing! What two rank jinshi, what clear stream leader, what cabinet scholar? Except for one or two, they are all selfish and short-sighted villains! I don't want to go into this vat! ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Don't!" According to Brother Li's meaning, is he unwilling to participate in next year's scientific examination? Don't forget, Brother Li, you are the emperor's hand-picked protégé, as long as you write a few words, you will inevitably be named on the gold list, maybe you will win the championship in one fell swoop and become the champion! Did such an opportunity just give up? ”

While he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard.

Ji Qingwen was having something urgent to do, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, so he asked, "Who is it!" ”

Zhou Xiuying's voice came from outside the door: "It's me!" Ji Gongzi still didn't open the door for me. ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he was sure in his heart, and hurriedly asked Huang Degong to open the courtyard door, but saw that Zhou Xiuying was carrying a cloth bag, so hot that she was sweating and panting for breath.

Ji Qingwen looked at Zhou Xiuying's ups and downs of her chest, and her heart was full of emotion for a while, and then she said: "Miss Xiuying boasts of her martial arts skills, how can she carry such a thing and become tired like this?" Isn't it bragging? ”

Zhou Xiuying's eyes flickered, revealing a girl's unique coquettish expression: "What does Ji Gongzi know?" My martial arts pay attention to winning by skill and fighting with strength, but I am not the stupid strength of a dizzy man. If you don't believe it, you can find someone with great strength and play one-on-one with me, and I don't believe that I can't win him! ”

"Believe, believe, I believe!" Ji Qingwen had already been moved by Zhou Xiuying's proud appearance, and turned his head to reprimand Huang Degong, "Degong, didn't you hear Miss Xiuying speak?" You have a lot of strength, but you can't beat her, and you don't help put down what she's carrying. ”

Although Huang Degong was born with divine power and extraordinary strength, he could fight against Zhou Xiuying on the battlefield several times, but he did not take advantage of it once, so he was also happy and convinced of Zhou Xiuying's kung fu, and immediately stepped forward to carry the package that Zhou Xiuying was carrying after listening to the order.

But as soon as the package arrived in Huang Degong's hands, it moved suddenly, so frightened that Huang Degong's hands let go and fell heavily to the ground, and there was a shout from the package: "Ouch! Which one doesn't have long eyes, dare to fall grandpa me! ”
