Governor Yuan's meals have always been regular, twenty buns a morning, that has been a habit for many years, before he walked out of the restaurant, except for the third aunt, the governor's mansion, no one can come to disturb.

He picked up the nineteenth soup bag, poked a small hole with chopsticks, picked up the straw made of reed pipes from the side, and was about to suck out the greasy fresh soup inside, when at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the head of the governor's mansion ran into the restaurant out of breath, and he didn't even have time to report, which made Governor Yuan very annoyed, and he didn't put down the soup bag, turned his head, and his eyes were full of coldness.

When the manager stepped into the restaurant, he knew that he had committed a taboo, but at this time it was too late to regret it, so he could only say anxiously: "Master, yes...... It's a big deal......! ”

Governor Yuan said slowly: "Is there a fire, or is there a dead person?" ”

The manager immediately shook his head, "It's all ...... Neither! ”

"What's the big deal then?" Governor Yuan's voice was not hot, but his tone was very annoyed.

"Yes...... Be......! The chief manager was out of breath, holding a letter in his hand and handing it over, "Master, it's Jingli...... It's ...... someone from Kyoto! ”

Yuan Chongshang put down the soup bag at this time, took the letter, glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he immediately got up, he recognized it at a glance, this letter was the excerpt he presented to the emperor at the beginning, and it made clear the death of the god Yiwei in Taiyuan.

He finally broke the habit he had for many years, did not finish the buns, and didn't care that he was just in civilian clothes, got up, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people?" ”

"It's in the lobby."

Yuan Chongshang almost trotted to the lobby of the Governor's Palace, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a young man in civilian clothes standing next to a screen in Datang, with his hands behind his back, and was watching the picture of the lady on the screen, hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man turned around and saw Yuan Chongshang, and without waiting for Yuan Chongshang to speak, he had already said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the Governor of Yuan?" ”

Yuan Chongshang had already bowed his hand and said: "Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi Dao, dare to ask ......!" ”

Chu Huan raised a hand and showed a gold medal, Yuan Chongshang saw it, and suddenly became solemn, he naturally knew that it was the emperor's imperial gold medal, and those who held such gold medals could usually only be sent by the emperor himself, but the gold medals are also divided into two kinds, if the upper end of the gold medal is half-moon-shaped, it means that the Qincha is a patrol and has no right to interfere in local government affairs, but if the gold medal is a full moon, then the Qincha enjoys the ability to dictate and dictate, not only can interfere in local government and military affairs, but even has the power to cut first and then play.

The gold medal in Chu Huan's hand is the full moon gold medal.

Chu Huan just flashed the gold medal, then put it away, and said, "I'm Chu Huan, the head of the household department, don't blame me for bothering the governor." ”

Yuan Chongshang immediately said: "Lord Chu laughed, this official was looking forward to Lord Chu coming as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be so fast." Looking left and right, he saw a sharp-beaked monkey gill standing next to Chu Huan, and there was no one else, so he couldn't help asking, "My lord...... Where is the team of adults? Since Lord Chu has arrived, why don't you send someone to notify you in advance, and this official can arrange someone to meet you here. ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Governor doesn't have to be polite, I'm here to disturb the Governor, and the Governor will take me to a place." ”

Yuan Chongshang saw Chu Huan's pleasant face and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry." Lord Chu hasn't had breakfast yet, has he? Let's finish breakfast first. When he turned around, he was about to order someone to prepare for breakfast, but Chu Huan had already said solemnly: "Lord Governor, don't delay, you can come back for breakfast and eat again." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Chongshang said curiously: "Where is Lord Chu going?" ”

"The Prison of the Criminal Department!"

"The Prison of the Criminal Department?" Yuan Chongshang was stunned, he really didn't understand why Chu Huan came to Taiyuan Mansion, his butt was not yet hot, why he was in a hurry to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, but seeing Chu Huan's serious expression, he also knew that things were unusual, he was born in a martial artist, and he didn't procrastinate in doing things, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Go and prepare the carriage." ”

"No need." Chu Huan had already walked out, "I've prepared the carriage, Lord Governor, please!" ”

Yuan Chongshang saw that Chu Huan's feet were like the wind, and he had already rushed out, so he could only follow quickly, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, turned to the back of the screen, took a saber, held it in his hand, and hurriedly trotted behind Chu Huan.

Sure enough, a carriage was prepared outside the gate of the mansion, Yuan Chongshang called seven or eight guards from the Governor's Mansion to follow, and got into the carriage with Chu Huan.

In the carriage, Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang sat opposite each other, Yuan Chongshang looked at the carriage, it was very strange, "Lord Chu, you came from Beijing by carriage?" It's just this carriage...... Hey, there's something weird. ”

He didn't say that the carriage of this carriage was very large, but he felt that since Chu Huan was a chaplain and had a high position, he came from Beijing in a carriage, so it had to be a more luxurious carriage, but this carriage was too old, it was already ordinary from the outside, and the interior was extremely low-grade.

Chu Huan naturally understood what Yuan Chongshang meant, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor misunderstood, when I came from the capital, I came on horseback, but just this morning, someone sent me such a carriage. ”

Yuan Chongshang was a little confused, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Chu also has old friends in Taiyuan Mansion? ”

Chu Huan smiled: "It's also an old man." ”

The carriage was very fast, and I don't know how long it took, the carriage had stopped, and Sun Tzu jumped out of the carriage, opened the carriage door, and said, "Master, it's here!" ”

Chu Huan jumped out of the carriage first, and saw at a glance that this was the prison of the Criminal Department, the carriage stopped outside the wooden fence, and at the entrance of the wooden fence, two black-clothed saber guards were guarding, and they were about to order the carriage to leave, but they saw that the governor Yuan Chongshang had already jumped down from the carriage, and behind the carriage, there were seven or eight armored warriors, which was the armor of the guards of the Governor's Palace, how dare the two jailers slack off, they stepped forward together and knelt down on one knee, "See the little one, Lord Governor!" ”

Yuan Chongshang didn't need to look at it, he and Chu Huan entered the wooden fence by themselves, and saw that the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department was closed, and with a wave of their hands, the two guards had already stepped forward quickly, slapping on the gate, "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly!" ”

The door soon opened, and a jailer poked out his head, and was about to scold, when he saw the armor, the words shrank back to his mouth, Yuan Chongshang had already stepped forward, stretched out his hand to push the door open, turned back to Chu Huan and said: "Lord Chu, this is the prison of the Criminal Department, what are you going to do here?" Then he said to the jailer: "The jailer here is not here, let him roll over to Lao Tzu." ”

The jailer hurriedly ran to report, but Chu Huan had already walked in quickly, he was familiar with the road, remembering the cell where he was held yesterday, in the labyrinthine prison, Yuan Chongshang was wondering, he didn't know what kind of medicine Chu Huan was selling in the gourd, but he could only follow Chu Huan's buttocks, and when he arrived at the door of the cell, the door of the cell was locked, Yuan Chongshang saw two jailers next to him, and immediately said, "Open the door quickly." ”

The two jailers hurriedly said: "The key is in the hands of Prison Officer Yang!" ”

"Don't look for him yet!"

"Lord Governor, here is the little one." A voice came from behind, Chu Huan turned around, and had already seen that the white and chubby Yang prison officer was trotting over, he was too fat, and when he ran, the fat on his body was bouncing up and down, although it was winter, but there was still a trace of sweat on his forehead, but the black cat he was carrying was gone.

After Prison Officer Yang came over, he was about to kneel down to pay homage, but Yuan Chongshang had already waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, open the door quickly, Lord Qincha will go in to inspect." ”

The Yang prison officer looked at Chu Huan, his face was not different, but he was in awe, and arched his hand: "The little one is Lord Qincha." "I took the key from my waist and stepped forward to open the door of the cell.

Chu Huan glanced at Prison Officer Yang lightly, and didn't say much, he walked quickly into the old room, walked down the stone steps for a while, and reached the prison road, turned two corners, and there were prison cells on both sides.

Chu Huan remembered clearly that when he left this prison before, there were very few prisoners in the prison cells on both sides, but at this time, he had already discovered something strange, although the cells on both sides were not overcrowded, but compared to the time when he left, there were obviously many more people, these people were all in tattered clothes, their hair was scattered, and the foul smell in the cell permeated every corner.

Chu Huan frowned slightly, and walked slowly along the prison road, the roads in the cell were also crisscrossed, but Chu Huan remembered where he was imprisoned, he came to the cell where he was imprisoned, he thought that the ghost lord of the ghost side, Hexi Valley, was still here, but the cell was empty, and there was no trace of He Xigu, he immediately went to the cell next door, and the three ghost men in Hegu were also nowhere to be found.

Chu Huan frowned, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned his head, stared at the eyes of the Yang prison officer, and asked, "Why are these two cells empty?" ”

The Yang prison officer said respectfully: "If you return to Lord Qincha, our Taiyuan Mansion is in good order, there are not many cases, and there are not many prisoners, so ...... Some of the cells were still empty. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled faintly, "Prison Officer Yang, do you know why Ben Qincha came here today?" ”

Prison Officer Yang looked dazed, shook his head and said, "I don't know, little one." In this prison of the Criminal Department, the adults are the first to come to inspect, and the little ones have to see the dignity of Shangguan, and they are fortunate to have three lives! ”

"Ben Qin sent to Taiyuan Mansion to pay a private visit, and I heard that your criminal department detained several ghost people in prison without asking any questions." Chu Huan stared at the eyes of the Yang prison officer, "But I don't know where those ghost people are imprisoned?" Ben Chin is going to be tried, what royal law have they committed? ”
