Chapter Ninety-Six: Imprisoned

After Yue Su finished speaking, he stretched out his palm to Tie Qiu on the side, and Tie Qiu hurriedly presented the Shang Fang Sword in his arms.

Zhu Gongfang was arrogant and was about to answer, but Zhao Wen stood up first, pulled Zhu Gongfang, and then rushed up and said: "Lord Yue is in charge of the Shangfang Sword, patrolling on behalf of the sky, and the Shangfang Sword in his hand, if His Majesty is here today, I will know about this matter." ”

Zhao Wen knew Yue Su's temper and understood that as long as Zhu Gongfang shouted, 'If you want to take care of me, at least the emperor will order it and be sent to the Zongren Mansion', this Lord Yue will immediately raise Shang Fang's sword and speak on behalf of the Son of Heaven. That being the case, why bother with this.

Immediately, Zhao Wen said again: "My lord said that this case has not been understood for the time being, and the people involved in the case must not leave, but I don't know how long it will take to understand. If this is the case, our family will not be able to explain to the prince when they return to the palace. ”

Although both sides of the case insisted on their own opinions, the Ministry concluded that the trial could be concluded in just one day. Therefore, at most, the prince only needs to stay in the yamen for one night. Yue Su said affirmatively.

"If it's one night, then it's okay to say, then when our family returns to the palace and discusses it with the prince, what do you think?" Zhao Wen said.

"Then there is no need, the content of the court trial today must not be leaked, and no one in the hall is allowed to leave the yamen. On my side, I will send someone to inform the prince, the prince and the father-in-law of Zhao, you can stay together. Yue Su said eloquently.

What the? All left! This time, Zhu Gong was even more angry, pulled Zhao Wen back, and said loudly: "Yue Su, I am the prince of the king of Zhou, which law did you rely on to keep me in the governor's yamen?" Not to mention, I didn't instruct Mao and Yan to assassinate Qiu Laosi, even if it was really me who instigated me and wanted to lock me up and deal with me, it was not up to you, the governor of the yamen. ”

"It is true that the governor's yamen does not have the right to sentence the prince to the prince, but the imperial court also has regulations, and the feudal king violates the law in the local area, and the local government has the right to thoroughly investigate the truth. Now this case is entangled and uninvited, Shizi insisted that it was because he ate a worm in the sugar gourd sold by Qiu Laosi, so he taught him a lesson, and Mao and Yan said that Shizi wanted to take his surname. Who is right and wrong, all of them are empty words, so let's do it, Shizi, let me ask you, did you send any sugar gourd that Qiu Laosi bought somewhere? Yue Su said.

"It's my personal eunuch He Lu." This is Zhu Gongfang's good rhetoric when he heard Zhao Wen say that Yue Su came to arrest people. Once Yue Su is investigated here, it will be He Lu who will come forward and insist on it.

"It's okay, Tong Xuan, you can go to the palace now, take the fire sign of the headquarters, and invite Gonggong He to the court. As for the people in the hall, Shizi, Mao and Yan were temporarily detained in prison and waiting for summons. Zhao Gonggong and others, please go to the duty room to rest. When He Lu arrives in the hall, please go directly to the second hall for questioning. Retire! After Yue Su finished ordering, he turned around and left.

When Zhu Gongfang heard that he was going to be sent to prison, where was he willing to do it, he kept shouting, "Yue Su...... Yue Su ......"

But Yue Su didn't pay attention to him at all, turned around the warm pavilion, and left on his own. The governor's orders, who dares to stop, after all, this is Lord Yue's territory. An errand officer stepped forward and said, "Little prince, offended", and escorted Zhu Gongfang away. Even if Zhu Gongfang struggled, how could he struggle through these errands. Zhao Wen also brought people here, but these few, in the governor's yamen, were also a drop in the bucket, half pushed and half done, and were escorted to the back of the room.

Let's say that after Zhu Gongfang, Mao and Yan were taken into prison, there were jailers who took them in and separated them. Where did Zhu Shizi live in a cell, he was scratching his stomach and cursing constantly, and the jailer just didn't hear it.

Of course, the treatment of the little prince is different from others, the jailer arranged a single room for him, and there is no one in the surrounding cells, and it can't be quieter anymore. The jailer shut him in, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Tong Guan's side also took people to the palace to pick up people according to the instructions. Things went well, as soon as the fire sign arrived, the guards guarding the door went in to pass the word, and the first to come out was the main book, pestering Tong Zhou to ask long and short questions, Tong Zhou also knew everything, and roughly told the situation in the hall, and asked He Gonggong to go, that is, to make sure that he really bought sugar gourds from Qiu Laosi. In order to conclude whether the little prince had the intention to assassinate, or the two guards heard it wrong, and now they are framing the prince. After chatting at the door for a while, He Lu also came out and followed Tong Zhou to the governor's yamen.

All this is clearly seen by a pair of eyes. A small guy in the corner followed Tong Zhou and the others back to the governor's yamen, and hurried to the Zou Mansion.

In the flower hall of Zou Mansion, there are three people sitting at the moment, and Zou Jiaren is naturally in the middle, and on both sides of his hand, it is his son Zou Feng and the housekeeper asking the sky. When the little guy ran into the flower hall, there was another little guy who came in the same hurry as him.

The two entered the flower hall together, and after entering the door, they all bowed down and said, "Master, what you have explained is done." ”

Zou Jiaren pointed to the little guy who was following Tong Zhou and asked, "What are the actions of the governor's yamen?" ”

"Back to the master, the governor Yamen sent someone to the palace and took Gonggong He to the yamen. Because I was far away, I couldn't hear what was being said. ”

"Alright, you go down."

Zou Jiaren waved his hand, waited until the little guy went down, and said to the other guy: "How are you following over there?" ”

The medical officer who was following the little one first went to the medicinal herb shop to buy some medicinal herbs, and then the little one went into the shop to inquire about it, saying that it was for blood and qi replenishment, and it was also precious. The small one continued to follow, and followed to a small house in Erliu Hutong, this place is really lame, there are alleys everywhere, I almost lost it. When I came back, I left a mark along the way, otherwise I might not have been able to find it the second time. The little guy said truthfully.

"That's good, maybe I'll let you go again in the evening, let's go to the tent room and pay twenty taels of silver first." Zou Jiaren waved his hand and sent this little guy away.

The little guy thanked him for his kindness, bowed down, and waited for him to go away, before Zou Jiaren in the flower hall spoke again: "Ask the sky, you also heard what the two of them said, I also told you about the general situation, what do you think?" ”

"Over there in the palace, I don't think it's a big deal, as long as He Lu and the little prince bite to death, Yue Su doesn't dare to torture the little prince, and in the end it should be a hundred. And the little prince will never admit that he went out of the city with his son, and he can't implicate us here. It's just that Wen Tingsong was there, and I began to suspect that it would be a bureau set up by Yue Su to lure the snake out of the hole, but I heard that the place was extremely secretive, and my mind changed again. Yue Su has always regarded the assassins in Yanshi County as the Dragon Slaying Gang, and he has recently eliminated many members of the Dragon Slaying Gang in Yanshi County, so it is understandable that he assumes Wen Tingsong as the target of the Dragon Slaying Gang. But this is not good for us, once Wen Tingsong comes to life, talk about those things......" Wentian said this, shaking his head again and again.

"You're right, you must not let Wen Tingsong speak. But ......" Zou Jiaren hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's really inappropriate to send someone to kill him now, after all, it was Yue Su who told me today, it's usually good, as soon as he finished talking to me, people were killed, and anyone would think of me, let alone Yue Su." Wouldn't it be even worse if it was self-defeating and he thought I was a traitor to the Dragon Slayer Gang. ”

Zou Jiaren thought farther, he was not afraid of sending someone to kill Wen Tingsong, as long as he did it cleanly and did not leave evidence, he knew that he killed him, and he had nothing to do with him. I'm afraid, I was afraid that Yue Su thought that he was a dragon slaying gang, this is the same thing for a murderer, you have to pay attention to evidence, this is a traitor, I'm afraid that I would rather be in vain.

"The lord is worried." Wen Tian nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Otherwise, let's send someone in at night to take a look, depending on the situation." It's best to find an opportunity to do something in Wen Tingsong's medicine, and it's normal for seriously injured people to not be able to save them. ”

"That makes sense." was asked, Zou Jiaren's eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "Just do it, make a fuss in the medicine that Wen Tingsong drank." What kind of medicine, you come to get an idea, and you will call someone tonight. ”

"Yes, sir."

Tong Xuan took He Lu back to the yamen, turned to the back ya, and was stopped by Yin Zhu, Yin Zhu said, the master is now trying the case in the second hall, and He Gonggong is here, so he will go to the duty room for tea for the time being, and wait for the summons.

Since the adult ordered so, Tong Zhou led He Lu to the duty room where no one saw him, and let the servants serve him. It's just not allowed to go out. The governor's yamen is so big, and there are dozens of office duty rooms, so he must not be allowed to stay with Zhao Wen and others.

He Lu waited for half an hour, and when it was time for dinner, no one said that Lord Yue summoned him. It's just that someone brought the food and told him to use it slowly. He inquired with the visitor, and the person only said that the court was still trial, and when it was the father-in-law's turn, it would be passed on. All in all, you can wait with peace of mind.

At three o'clock, everyone has to eat, and the prince in the prison also has to eat. However, the food in the prison is really not to the appetite of the little prince, this Lord Yue did not take care of the other party because of the identity of the other party, and only served a bowl of miso soup, a few pickles, and two nests. It's similar to Korean food.

Zhu Gongfang saw this tatters, his nose was almost crooked, and he pulled it with his arm and threw it away. And shouted at the jailer: "Do you know who I am? Give me these, I want to die! Call Yue Su for me! ”

"Little prince, the little one knows who you are, but the adult doesn't explain it, we really don't have anything else to eat in prison. You said, let me go to our adults to ask for it, you also know the temper of our adults, in case you are unhappy, you will scold the small one, and you will have to hit the board at the worst, so the little one really dare not remind us adults. It's only one night, or you'll be ......," said the jailer, cautiously.

When Zhu Gongfang was eating, Yue Su went to the door, at that time, he first discussed countermeasures, and did not care about eating, and then thought that he was in the Yin'an Palace, and it was over after saying a few words, saying that he had wanted to be brought to the yamen by Yue Su, and he stayed for an afternoon, and now he was in prison again, and he was hungry for a long time.

The stomach growled, how can you let this pampered prince do it. He scolded: "You pig brain, you can't go to Yue Su, you can't go outside the restaurant and buy some wine and food for this time!" ”

"Oh......" The jailer nodded, but he didn't move.
