Chapter 7: Breaking into an Abandoned Official Prison
"That's right, Tang Er."
"Tang Xiaoxiao." She took another sip of wine, frowning because of some stamina, "It's so spicy......"
"Tang Xiaoxiao?"
"My name is Tang Xiaoxiao, a generation of heroes."
Ye Zhixian suddenly laughed: "A generation of heroes? Hahahaha...... What a ...... it comes out of your mouth It's a little weird. ”
"What's weird? Because I don't drink well? After saying that, she took a sip of the wine in her glass.
Ye Zhixian, who was slightly surprised, shook his head: "You thin arms and thin legs...... It was I who found out too late. ”
"Hey, my brother isn't much stronger than me, and he's ......"
Tang Xiaoxiao put down the wine glass and stood up, Ye Zhixian grabbed her for fear that she would fall drunk.
She withdrew her hand and continued: "And my size is also the tallest among women, didn't you notice it at first, which means that my camouflage methods are still quite high-class." ”
Ye Zhi smiled and drank the wine in the cup: "If it weren't for my relationship with him, I wouldn't have taken a few more looks, and I would have recognized you a long time ago." ”
"That'...... Why didn't the rest of the people recognize me? Tang Xiaoxiao sat down again with his shoulder, and Ye Zhixian poured her a second glass of wine.
"Ye Gongzi, the food you want has been brought to you."
Tang Xiaoxiao looked back at a group of people who had set up a long table, the table was full of all kinds of snacks, the wine in his hand suddenly became unfragrant, and he hurriedly stuffed the wine into Ye Zhixian's hand and ran to eat it, Ye Zhixian looked at her smile and returned to his face, and he was a little happy.
A few days later, Tang Xiaoxiao found a letter at his bedside, which said that the last time someone saw Tang Feng was going to the direction of the abandoned official prison, there was a mass grave nearby.
After having this clue, Ye Zhixian secretly stopped her from going, he knew that this place was used by the imperial court to hold criminals who could not make the verdict public, and he also knew that that place was more dangerous than the imperial prison, and as the grandson of the prime minister, it was a place where he could not go.
Late at night, Tang Xiaoxiao wrote a letter of resignation and decided to go to find Tang Feng alone.
"Why did he go there? Did you get caught? But why? On the way, Tang Xiaoxiao kept talking to himself.
Xu Zhouyin couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and wanted to go out for a walk, but when he saw Tang Xiaoxiao hurriedly leaving the Hanlin Courtyard with his burden, he felt a little strange, so he followed.
The abandoned official prison was heavily guarded, and each of them was a top master, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know it, he couldn't break through, and escaped with injuries.
"Follow me." Suddenly, she was dragged away.
"Brother Xu?" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the pursuers behind him and fled with Xu Zhouyin.
Finally got rid of the pursuers, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here?"
"If you don't know what kind of place the abandoned official prison is, you dare to break in, thank God for sparing your life."
In front of his life-saving benefactor, Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to tell him the truth. Xu Zhouyin suggested that she think long-term, too reckless would backfire, Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to go back to the Hanlin Academy first, it was already dawn.
"Oops." She rummaged through her bed and didn't reach the resignation letter, "It's over...... It's completely over......"
Since that day, she has been working step by step, for fear that the resignation letter will reach the hands of people with bad intentions, and every day she is like sitting on pins and needles, pretending that nothing has happened.
"Haven't you found it yet?" During the meal, Xu Zhouyin asked quietly, and Tang Xiaoxiao shook his head.
Ye Zhixian saw that Tang Xiaoxiao had been a little close to Xu Zhouyin in the past few days, so he was jealous and called Tang Xiaoxiao back to the living room.
"Where do you think you got all those clues? I gave you a clue because I wanted you to discuss with me, you actually ...... with that kid surnamed Xu" He couldn't help but tell everything he had done for Tang Xiaoxiao, "If you get so close to him again, I will hand over your resignation to the head of the court and see what the head of the court does with you." ”
"The resignation letter is in your hand?" For some reason, Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can do it yourself."
Seeing Ye Zhixian so angry, he had no choice but to return to him. But Xu Zhouyin couldn't get used to his approach, so he still privately discussed with Tang Xiaoxiao about how to secretly investigate whether Tang Feng was in the abandoned official prison.
Yuan Xiu saw that the three of them were always sneaky, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
"What are you hiding from me?" Yuan Xiu walked towards Xu Zhouyin with a dissatisfied expression, "You are hiding from your colleagues like this, what did I do wrong?" Why don't you take me with you? ”
Seeing that he started chattering again, Xu Zhouyin thought that Yuanxiu's father was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, and he could be regarded as having some connections, so he suggested to Tang Xiaoxiao that Yuanxiu should also be brought in to discuss together, which also saved him from being known by more people all the time.
Ye Zhixian and Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to acquiesce, and then the four of them worked together to make a plan to inquire openly and secretly, and approached the abandoned official prison.
"You said that the four of them actually ...... together" Ye Zhenping frowned, "Call me Xian'er!" ”
Seeing that the four of them went out together, it was naturally impossible for the prime minister not to know.
A moment later, Ye Zhixian came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"You're looking for some excitement because the work of the Hanlin Academy is too easy, isn't it?"
"Why did grandfather say that?"
"What is the abandoned official prison? You are bold enough, I told you from your youth that you should not go near that place, and that all the prisons have nothing to do with you. I order you not to participate in the things you are planning from now on, otherwise, I will let the emperor take off your champion hat and let me stay in Yefu and not be allowed to go anywhere! ”
Ye Zhenping is the same, Ye Zhixian was because of his previous drinking mistakes, and Ye Zhenping broke all the hard work hidden in the wine cellar. If he doesn't comply now, he doesn't know what more serious things he will do, so he has to give in and quit first.
"It's okay, you've helped a lot in this matter, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you've done, and then leave it to me." Knowing that Ye Zhixian was going to retire temporarily, Tang Xiaoxiao agreed without saying a word.
Although he agreed to act with the other two, Tang Xiaoxiao always avoided acting alone.
On the one hand, considering that they would suffer the same as Ye Zhixian, on the other hand, they were still a little wary of them.
Finally, Tang Xiaoxiao infiltrated the abandoned official prison by himself.
"Brother?" Tang Xiaoxiao masked his face and searched around the official prison but did not find Tang Feng.
"What people!"
"Oops!" Tang Xiaoxiao wanted to escape, but he didn't want to be caught by the turtle in the urn, and the other three people in the Hanlin Academy didn't know it.
Ye Zhixian saw that he hadn't seen Tang Xiaoxiao's shadow for two days in a row, and he couldn't let go, so he didn't ask the other two, and went to the abandoned official prison alone to inquire if anyone had broken in.
"Back to Ye Gongzi, a few days ago, a female snitch sneaked in and was captured, and she is now locked up in prison on the spot."
"Can you let me in and have a look?"
"Ye Gongzi, the official is heavy, and you are not allowed to enter without the emperor's token."
Knowing that Tang Xiaoxiao was locked inside, but couldn't go in to see her, Ye Zhixian had to go back and beg Ye Zhenping to see if there was a way to let her out.
Ye Zhenping was furious, and ordered Ye Zhixian not to approach the abandoned official prison again, and let people stare at him and not let him go to a place outside the Hanlin Academy, if he found it again, he would send him to the palace to be a companion for the prince.
Ye Zhixian had no choice but to tell Xu Zhouyin the news, hoping that he could work with Yuan Xiu to find a way to save her. And Xu Zhouyin saw Yuanxiu's sneaky appearance a few days ago, and kept an eye on it, and found that it was he who reported to the people in the imperial court that made Tang Xiaoxiao arrested, so he isolated Yuanxiu and acted alone.
But it was really heavily guarded, especially after she broke through, and even more people were dispatched, so it seemed that it was impossible to break through. Thinking that there were also many soldiers who escaped from the abandoned official prison, he had to bow his head and beg Xu Xiaonian, since he had a way to send the deserters in, he naturally had a way to bring them out.
"Oh? You mean, the woman was locked up there? Xu Xiao smiled youngly, "You think about it now, how capable is my brother who is a general?" ”
"Once that place is caught, it is impossible to get out, not even if it is amnesty...... Please get her out, I can give you whatever you want. ”
Xu Xiaonian didn't agree at first, but when he saw that he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised: "Yes, I promise to help you, as long as you ......"
After listening, Xu Zhouyin clenched his fists, but he could only grit his teeth and agree, after all, with his current ability, he couldn't save her at all.
