Chapter 514: Shi Jing was released from prison
"Brother Xiaochao, how is the matter of taking Ma Ye out of prison?" Meng Yan asked.
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready according to your instructions." Guo Xiaochao nodded and said.
"Then go to Beiya, it is estimated that the will should also arrive!"
"Lord Shen said that if there is news, I will send someone to inform me, and it will not be delayed." Guo Xiaochao said.
"This Shen Yiping is still quite careful in his work." Meng Yan smiled slightly, still very satisfied with Shen Yiping.
Although this person's talent is limited, he is quite diligent and has some eyesight, but he is a usable person.
Meng Yan took Guo Xiaochao with him, and the two of them did not wear official uniforms, and drove a half-used carriage from the back door of the Patrol Division in light clothes and left.
The inspection department is not too far from Beiya, and it will take half an hour to walk a few streets in the past.
"Phew, my lord, it's here!" The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Beiya, Guo Xiaochao grabbed the reins, turned his head and called Meng Yan in the car.
Meng Yan got out of the car.
"Let's go." After tidying up their clothes a little, Meng Yan and Guo Xiaochao entered the gate of the North Ya.
"Your Excellency!"
"Well, good work!" The guards guarding the gate naturally knew Meng Yan, and they all nodded and saluted.
North Yadong Divisional Room.
"Master Meng is here." Shen Yiping, who got the news, ran out of the duty room to greet Meng Yan.
"Ordered?"
"Just now, just left, and was about to send someone to inform you, you came!" Shen Yiping smiled.
"Notify the families on the list and ask them to send someone to pick them up." Meng Yan commanded.
"Yes, the lower official will arrange it!"
"Where is Shi Jing, the commander of the horses?" Meng Yan did not tell Shen Yiping, his main purpose was to pick up Shi Jing from prison, but only said that these prisoners who were imprisoned in Jinyi Wei Edict Prison would be released today, and he would personally interrogate.
"In room C No. 3. Why are adults interested in him? Shen Yiping asked with some surprise.
"What, what's wrong with this person?"
"That's not it, Shi Jing is a concubine, and he is also a character in our prison, although the people in Dongchang don't want to see him. But our Jinyiwei didn't embarrass him much, but this is the edict, and the conditions cannot be compared with the Horse Mansion, and Princess Shunde is early, except for an old servant, almost no one has come to see him! "Shen Yiping has been in charge of the East Chambers for two years, and when Shi Jing first came in, he had almost just been promoted to the Hundred Households of the East Chambers.
"Isn't there anyone else in the Shi family?"
"Yes. Of course there is, but Shi Jing is a guilty body, who dares to come to see him? Shen Yiping smiled bitterly.
"Forget it, take the official to meet him." Meng Yan thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"Your Excellency is coming with your subordinates!" Shen Yiping bent down and answered.
"My lord, please be careful of the steps!"
There were a lot of people detained in the C-shaped prison area, and Meng Yan walked all the way and found many prisoners who looked to be about forty or fifty. Most of them had been officials of the imperial court, whether they had committed crimes. still offended someone and was sent to prison.
At this point, even if there is no need to be tortured, normal people will be tortured to become inhuman.
"Master Pony!" In cell No. 3, a slightly rickety figure with a cloak and a slightly stiff back was facing the prison door. Wearing a dark red prison robe, he had a belt tied around his waist at random, and he didn't know what to say to the wall.
"Master Pony!" Shen Yiping shouted again, and the people inside were unmoved, and they were still muttering to the wall.
"Master Pony. Someone has come to see you. Shen Yiping shouted again.
This time, the person seemed to hear it, turned around slowly, and saw Shen Yiping, his eyes rolled: "Lord Shen, but call me?" ”
"Yes, Master Pony, your old hard days are over!" Shen Yiping arched his hand and said with a smile.
"It's the end?" Shi Jing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed along.
Meng Yan looked at this man who was shorter than himself, with a square face and a very positive look, but it was in the conditions of the edict that he had a black face, and his beard was estimated to have no chance to cook, and people who were less than thirty years old looked like they were in their forties.
The cotton shoes under his feet also had a big hole, revealing the toes inside, the toes were red and swollen, and they looked frozen and somewhat deformed.
"Master Horse, the emperor has found out that you have been wronged, and has ordered you to go home!" Shen Yiping explained.
Shi Jing's laughter stopped abruptly, it was obvious that the news was too sudden for him, and he thought that he could finally be freed.
I didn't expect to regain my freedom, this is incredible, how could Wang Zhen, the old Yan goods, let himself get out of the edict alive?
"Didn't I hear me wrong, did the emperor release me?" Shi Jing lifted the gray sideburns that covered his eyes, and asked the boss with his eyes wide.
"The emperor has decreed, is this still fake?"
"The emperor is wise!" Shi Jing knelt down with a puff, raised his hands above his head, shouted, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.
Wise, if he was wise, he should not have favored Wang Zhen and caused chaos in the court, causing so many innocent people to be wronged and imprisoned.
Meng Yan only thought about these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them.
"Lord Shen, take the horse master out." Meng Yan commanded.
"Yes, sir!" Shen Yiping took the key, walked over and unlocked the door of the prison cell, "Master Ma, please." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen!" Shi Jing stood up and bowed his hand slightly, he didn't have much intersection with Shen Yiping, and he didn't have any grievances, it was Wang Zhen who framed him and sent him to prison, and he couldn't embarrass an irrelevant person.
"Xiaguan Meng Yan, see the master of the horse!"
"Aren't you that Tang Tong's subordinate, called Tang or something?" Seeing Meng Yan, Shi Jing instantly remembered that this person seemed to have seen it, and he was very familiar.
"Tang San!" Meng Yan smiled slightly, he did use Tang San's identity to approach Shi Jing, that was just to test it, to see if this Shi Jing knew something, it turned out that Shi Jing was very likely to know some royal secrets, and Wang Zhen seemed to want to get something from Shi Jing.
Of course, Meng Yan didn't know what this thing was, but Shi Jing desperately didn't give his life, it was obvious that this thing was more important than his life.
Meng Yan also guessed. Could the thing in Shi Jing's hand be the edict of the Daxing Emperor who was suspected of possibly storing it?
If so, why didn't Shi Jing take it out earlier, and he wouldn't end up in prison, right?
If not, then what?
There is also the box left by Bai Xinyuan, the handwriting of his father Meng Yan, judging from the size of the box. It is not impossible to pretend to be a testament.
But if it is such an edict, how can it be handed over to an irrelevant person to keep, and how can it be Bai Suxin's talisman, and the talisman is almost the same.
"You, aren't you a eunuch?" Shi Jing asked in surprise.
"Tang San's identity is disguised by the lower official, but in fact, the lower official is the Jinyi Guard Patrol Division Qianhu." Meng Yan nodded slightly.
"You are the thousand households of Jinyiwei, so why are you ......" Shi Jing's eyes flashed.
"Master Pony, this is not the place to talk, let's go out. Let the subordinate explain to you again. Meng Yan said.
"Okay." Shi Jing is not a fool, the edict is indeed not the place to speak, and he also wants to know what is going on with this thousand households named Meng Yan.
"Master Pony, please!"
Out of the prison cell, Shen Yiping took Shi Jing over to freshen up, remove his prison clothes, and change into Shi Jing's own clothes.
Before he was imprisoned, he wore a single outfit. But now that it's spring, the temperature is still relatively cold. However, Meng Yan had already been prepared.
Wearing a new cotton robe on his body, Shi Jing was still very grateful for Meng Yan's carefulness, otherwise, if he went back in this single robe, he was afraid that he would freeze.
"The lower official is ordered to take the horse master back to the house." Meng Yan explained with a slight smile.
"The emperor sent you. So you're not the one who Wang Zhen is? ”
"No, Xia Guan is not only not Wang Zhen's person, but also has some grievances with that Wang Zhen." Meng Yan smiled.
"Shi is a little puzzled, who are you?" Shi Jing stared at Meng Yan suspiciously, and I asked.
"Master Pony, let's find a secluded place to talk?" Meng Yan said in his face.
"Good!" Shi Jing thought for a moment. Whether it's a trap or not, you don't know until you go, it's just a big deal.
"Master Pony, please get in the car!"
Shi Jing and Meng Yan got into the carriage one after another, and Guo Xiaochao started the carriage and left the Beiya Imperial Prison with the two.
The carriage was driving on the street, Shi Jing wanted to ask several times, but he forcibly resisted it, these actions fell in Meng Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, his cheap brother-in-law still had some patience, and if he were someone else, he couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.
"Your Excellency, it's here!"
"Master Pony, let's get out of the car!" Meng Yan smiled slightly and greeted.
"Good!" Shi Jing nodded, stretched out his hand to smooth the placket, lifted the soft curtain of the carriage, and walked down with his head up.
Meng Yan felt a little funny, Shi Jing's generous appearance was really a big misunderstanding, but it would be good to explain it later.
"I just bought this small yard, and I originally planned to give it to a subordinate for a new house." Meng Yan pushed open a small door and walked in, explaining to Shi Jing as he walked.
It is a small courtyard, the yard is not big, very exquisite, that is, the house is a little old, but renovated, it is a warm little home.
Guo Xiaochao is worthy of being a super housekeeper, he can find such a small yard in such a short period of time, and he can buy it, which is really impossible for ordinary people.
This courtyard Meng Yan said well, he was prepared by a cold front, but he didn't expect it to come in handy as soon as he bought it.
"Master Horse, please, the owner of this place just moved out yesterday, clean it up, and you can live in it immediately." Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, such a small courtyard, if you buy it, it will cost at least a thousand taels of silver, Lord Meng is really willing to do it for his subordinates?" After all, Shi Jing has been a horse master, and he knows the price of the capital well, even though he has been in prison for two years, the price of the house has only increased after all.
"Master Ma has good eyesight, this house cost eight hundred taels of silver, hire someone to renovate it, it will cost one or two hundred taels of silver, and then buy furniture or something, add up, at least one thousand two hundred taels of silver!" Guo Xiaochao said.
"I bought it for eight hundred taels, not bad, not bad." Shi Jing was slightly surprised, a house of one thousand taels could be won for eight hundred taels, and the person who bought the house must be a master of bargaining. (To be continued......)
