However, whether it is the Imperial Prison or the Criminal Department Prison, whether you were once a big man in the palace or a big boss in the cabinet, or a noble person such as a prince and uncle, when you come here, no matter before or after, in these two places, you are still a prisoner after all, and you always have to stay in the cell and wait for the outside operation to rescue, or luck comes.

But since the 30th year of Wanli, there are fewer and fewer prisoners in the edict and the prison of the Criminal Department, and the inside has become empty, the reason is very simple, the Son of Heaven has not been in court for more than 20 years, from the cabinet to the six ministries to the various yamen, there are too many vacant positions, no matter how ruthless the political struggle Wanli Emperor will not interfere with the tendency, but stay in the middle and do not send it, the loser only needs to resign or dismiss the official, so down, then who will go to the edict prison and the prison of the Criminal Department, only recently one person was imprisoned, that is the defeat in Liaodong Yang Hao, such a failure, It's not okay to stay in prison and wait for the crime.

In addition to these, many nobles in Beijing know that there is a special case, this has no power and no position, and the family is also a common people, it is said that he was born as a leatherman, he was arrested in the twenty-third year of Wanli, and he was about to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department at that time. It's really vague, and if you are arrested, you will be sent to the edict prison.

Such a character went to the Imperial Prison, it must be immortal and have to peel off the skin, the fans are not kind to everyone for the felons, and it is a dereliction of duty not to knock out the oil in your bones, but for this former leatherman who has no power and no position, the fans are extremely polite, just like the big man who has not been dismissed, and then he didn't stay in the edict for a few days, and someone in the palace spoke and got this character from the edict prison to the prison of the Criminal Department.

The edict of the Zhenfu Division belongs directly to the control of the Son of Heaven, and it is not easy to do tricks, and the prison of the Criminal Department is jointly managed by several yamen, and there are many things to do, and it is convenient to take advantage of loopholes to do tricks and feet, even so, this character has not come out of the prison of the Criminal Department, since he entered in the forty-second year of Wanli, and he has not come out until now.

It's just that he is in prison and others are different, here is a mansion built for him in the prison, this mansion is actually two entrances, someone cleans, someone serves, and someone buys everything he needs immediately, and what is even more ridiculous is that in this prison of the Criminal Department, he can still see outsiders, and sometimes the guard of the Criminal Department is the same as the servants in the mansion, bringing guests in and out.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with this, this character has hands and eyes to the sky, many Da Jue in the twenty-four yamen in the palace call themselves disciples in front of him, the concubines of the Son of Heaven always give incense offerings, and the emperor's relatives often come to ask for a meeting, although the court officials did not appear, but their family members always send people here to greet them, such a character, how can the criminal department not be worshiped as an ancestor, you know, even the wife of the criminal department Shangshu sent people to give gifts.

For such an unconventional master, the cell head and errand of the prison of the Criminal Department are also willing to serve, this master is very generous, and everyone gets more benefits in this hand than those who visit the family members of serious offenders, and this master has the ability to go to the sky, all the errand characters in this prison, he knows the root of the name, and he also knows where he lives, how many people are in the family, in the past few years, there are also people who don't want to blackmail, and they have figured out how to deal with this master's backer, I didn't think that this person and those people who didn't look for the palace in the first place, just said that you can't repay it, and then that night, the whole family of the jailer who wanted to blackmail died cleanly.

The jailers knew that this person's surname was Wang, his name was Sen, he was over seventy years old, and he was from Jizhou, and nothing else was clear, but those who were well-informed knew a little bit of the details, but they didn't dare to say more, the example of the dead destroying the door was around! Everyone's name for this person is "Old Immortal".

The weather in mid-July is sultry, and the outside feels cool here, but the jailers themselves are sweating and uncomfortable, in previous years, they were not afraid at this time, there would be nobles to send ice cubes to relieve the heat, and everyone could also get wet, but this year it was not done, this "old fairy" is about to sit down and ascend to the immortal, and he has calculated the day when he goes to the immortal, and there are three days left in the evening of July 21.

Since the old fairy said this day, the twenty-four yamen Daju, the inner palace concubines, the emperor's relatives, and the relatives of those high-ranking officials in the court, have all sent people over, and even those who came to the door in person, everyone was full of emotion when they left, and the gifts were also rich and abnormal, and everyone got a lot of rewards, but in the last three days, I only saw two groups of guests every day, one during the day, one at night, see you in the morning during the day, see you after dark at night, and the rest of the time, the old fairy is sleeping.

*************

On the evening of July 19, two guests surnamed Lin were invited into Wang Sen's old immortal's residence, and the jailer did not want to ask more, but it could be seen that the two should be brothers.

The subordinates who were originally serving in the small courtyard were dismissed, and only one jailer served them, but when they saw guests, the jailer often walked out of the courtyard, as for the origin of the jailer, everyone knew it, after the old fairy came to this prison, the jailer came here from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the joints in it were easy to figure out.

"Master", the eldest brother of the Lin family, knelt down as soon as he entered the room, choked and kowtowed, while his younger brother bowed directly behind him, not even daring to raise his head.

"Old Immortal" Wang Sen sat cross-legged on the bamboo couch, he was dressed in a pure white robe, which was made of high-grade silk and satin, and the locks were all jade pieces in the shape of a white lotus, with a clear appearance, white beard and white hair were also ****, without a trace of variegation, his hair was so scattered, and he looked like the fairy in the painting.

With a gentle smile on his face, Wang Sen looked at the two people kneeling down below, and said softly: "Get up, now the old man is not in good spirits, when you first came in, the old man was in a trance, and thought that I was born, all of them got up, I really grew up, you are all done, and the old man should also go." ”

"It is the Buddha who wants to take the master to the vacuum hometown and the Elysium, which is to enjoy happiness." "Lin Wuzhen" said and couldn't stop the tears from falling, and hurriedly wiped them with his hands, the "Lin Wujia" was only there with his head down, and the rules were very cautious.

Seeing them like this, Wang Sen shook his head and said with some kindness: "You are so old, you are still so careless, and you have left so many traces of a fake surname, the word 'Lin' and the word 'wood' are too close, if someone remembers something, they must know that you belong to the Mu family." ”

The surname is Mu, and the name is Wuzhen and Wujia, which is Mu Shulan's uncle and uncle, and this Wang Sen is the founder of the Wenxiang Sect and the first generation of sect leaders.

In front of Wang Sen, Mu Wuzhen and the Mu Wu family have lost the prestige they had when they were in Dongchang Mansion, and they are completely the posture of a younger generation, Mu Wuzhen is such a calm person, here it is obvious that he is moved by his true feelings, and the Mu Wu family has no affection, but he didn't dare to show it, he just bowed his head and said nothing.

"You were taken in by me at the time, and you have been serving by my side, and then you were the first generation of disciples, the old man remembers very clearly, you are now making such a situation in Dongchang Mansion, and the old man is also very pleased, this is the protection of Maitreya Buddha and the lifeless old mother, but it's a pity that I lived, you brothers, the most talented is him, it's a pity to die!" Wang Sen said slowly.

"The old man's time is running out, I called you over, just to have some explanations, you took out your niece to be a saint, opened a hall in Dongchang Mansion and Jinan Mansion to burn incense, and even Beizhili has been impregnated, this is very remarkable, but the two of you are hiding behind, and there is only a woman in front of you, this is not a long-term solution, in our sect, the position of this saint is a disguise."

Wang Sen's expression became stern, Mu Wuzhen and the Mu Wu family were originally assertive people, but on this occasion they were completely involuntary, Mu Wuzhen actually knelt down again, kowtowed respectfully and said: "The apprentice is ignorant, please master for guidance." ”

"Marry your niece to my family!" Wang Sen said in a deep voice.

Mu Wu was really stunned, Mu Wu family looked up in amazement, of course they knew who the "good xian" was, this was Wang Sen's second son, who was originally the current leader of the Wenxiang Sect, but the position of the sect leader was given to Xu Hongru.

"How dare you climb high"

"It's not Gao Pan, both families have benefits, Haoxian is the old husband's inheritance, your Mu family now has such a situation, and it is also a good match, if you marry Haoxian, you don't have to worry about the position of the two of you, you can come to the front justifiably, besides, Haoxian's child is evacuated, it's not your brother who is in charge, and after getting married, you have to work hard in Beizhili and Shanxi." Wang Sen's spirits were not good, and he spoke slowly.

When he heard the "front" and "stewardship" and then "Beizhili and Shanxi", these words were spoken, and the originally stiff faces of the Mu family brothers began to liven, and their eyes were also shining, and when Wang Sen above finished speaking, Mu Wuzhen slammed his head on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Since the master has said so, this is Xiaolan's blessing, and the apprentice agreed." ”

Wang Sen showed a hint of a smile and said slowly: "The old man can't go out, and he can't see it, I will let Haoxian know this news, I really want you to take care of it!" ”

After saying this, Wang Sen's expression became a lot lower, and he said with emotion: "At that time, the fairy fox sent incense to the old man, and the old man could think of today, seeing you like this, seeing that we are in such a situation now, satisfied, satisfied." ”

His voice was clear, but when he said this, there was an endless sense of depression, Mu Wuzhen raised his head and was about to speak, but Wang Sen was already lying down, and said in a low voice: "The old man is tired, now the undercurrent in the capital is surging, you must leave tomorrow morning, be careful everywhere." ”
