Chapter 85: A fire in a cell
"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news!" Chen glanced at He Muwan expectantly, and saw He Muwan nodding at her, so he slowly turned around and left.
Gazing at the back of the Chen family leaving, He Muwan frowned, it was not that she couldn't pull down and beg for help, but her current relationship with the two brothers Bei Yingchen and Bei Yingyan was really embarrassing.
And she knows that sending He Hong to prison must be approved by Beiming Yan, no matter what, He Hong is an official of the Zhengyipin Imperial Court, without the emperor's order, Dali Temple will never dare to arrest people without authorization.
As for Bei Mingchen, in the officialdom, he and He Hong have always been opponents, and he has never had any affection for himself, at this time, he should not openly tear his face with Gu Shichong in order to save He Hong.
There was a sense of despair in her heart, a feeling as helpless as when she saw her birth mother die in front of her.
Relieved her emotions a little, He Muwan forcibly calmed herself down, the matter was not to the end, she absolutely couldn't give up, no matter what, she felt that she should go to the prison to meet He Hong first.
Thinking like this, she raised her feet and was about to leave the palace, and the guards clearly heard the conversation she had just had with the Chen family, and they knew at a glance that He Muwan left the palace, either to go to Dali Temple, or to enter the palace to see Bei Mingyan.
Glancing at each other, they hesitated, but still stepped forward and stretched out their hands to stop the person, "Princess, you can't go out, what's the matter, let's wait for the prince to come back!" One of the guards spoke up.
"Get out of the way!" His eyes were cold, and He Muwan said sharply.
"This ......" The current He Muwan looks really a little terrifying, and the guards can't help but be a little panicked in their hearts, but they let He Muwan go like this, and they are afraid that Bei Mingchen will come back and blame him.
When the guards were struggling with what to do, they only heard He Muwan speak again, "If the prince comes back and wants to ask for the crime, although you push it on me, if you insist on blocking it, believe it or not, I will kill you now!" ”
Looking at He Muwan's appearance, it didn't look like he was joking at all, the two guards looked embarrassed, and after hesitating, they finally withdrew their hands and let her leave.
Rushing to Dali Temple, He Muwan was unexpectedly stopped by the guards at the prison gate, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The guard's tone was not good.
"Brother Prison Guard, please be accommodating, I will come out when I go in to see my father, and it won't be delayed for too long!"
Although she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, He Muwan is also very clear about the doorway, she took out a piece of silver as she spoke, and naturally stuffed it into the hands of the guards.
"Who do you want to see?" Seeing that Qian was open, the attitude of the prison guards was obviously much better than just now.
"Lord He Honghe, the Six Books of Shangshu!"
The prison guard checked the silver in his hand, and was about to put it in his pocket, but when he heard He Muwan's answer, his face immediately changed.
She just said that He Hong is her father, isn't the person in front of her ......
Hurriedly returned the silver with both hands, and the guard respectfully saluted He Muwan and said: "The little one sees Princess Ruiling, just now the small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, this silver, please take it back!" ”
Although the He family may be about to fall, He Muwan is already married to Bei Mingchen after all, and the so-called water spilled by the married daughter, the disaster of the He family, may not affect He Muwan.
Besides, the matter of Bei Mingyan breaking into the drunken Xian Building for He Mu at night and fighting with Bei Yingchen has already been rumored, and everyone says that the emperor is not ordinary to Princess Ruiling.
Therefore, before everything is decided, a small prison guard still does not dare to be disrespectful to He Muwan.
"It's okay, you stay outside the cell all day, it's also very hard, this silver, just take it as a little bit of my heart, you can accept it with confidence!"
Naturally, he pushed the silver in the guard's hand back, and He Muwan continued: "Big brother, you hurry up and take me to see my father!" ”
"This ......" the prison guard replied with a sad face: "Don't hide it from the princess Niangniang, if it is an ordinary prisoner, the little one naturally does not dare to stop the mother, but Lord He is a serious offender in the court and is locked up on death row, without the emperor's decree, no one is allowed to enter to visit!" ”
"I'll just go in for a while, say a few words to my father, and I'll come out, if the prison guard brother is not at ease, you can follow me!" He Muwan continued to discuss.
"This little one really can't be the master, please don't embarrass the little princess!" Although people die for money, birds die for food, but the prison guards will not risk their lives for a piece of silver.
"If the princess really wants to visit, it is better to go to the palace and ask the emperor to come again!" Thinking that He Muwan had a great relationship with Bei Yingyan, the prison guard immediately changed the conversation and proposed.
He Muwan is not an unreasonable person, she also understands the embarrassment of the prison guards, and she can't let an innocent pawn lose his life just to see He Hong.
Although Bei Yingyan abandoned the relationship between them, He Muwan thought that it should not be difficult for He Hong to be loyal to him as soon as he became loyal to him, and asked him for a father-daughter greeting.
If you want to meet, you are not in a hurry at this moment, it is better to go to the palace by yourself, and made a decision, He Muwan was just about to turn around and leave, but suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Go water, go water!" Come on! ”
"How could a good person suddenly go out of the water!" The guard muttered to himself, quickly turned around and trotted inside.
He Muwan looked back, only to see wisps of green smoke faintly rising not far away, and the guards of Dali Temple went back and forth, holding buckets, busy fighting the fire.
After a few moments, the fire spread, and bright yellow flames were already rising high in the place where the green smoke had just come out.
He Hong was still locked up in a cell, how could He Muwan stand by and watch.
Reflexively turned back, she walked quickly to the cell, Dali Temple was already in a mess, and no one paid attention to He Muwan who sneaked in.
The smoke was bursting, choking people a little out of breath, He Muwan coughed a few times, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, the prisoners in the cell were trapped in the fire, and one by one they slammed on the door and shouted "Help!" ”
The crackling sound of debris burning and the shouts of people came and went, He Muwan frowned, and in the chaos, looking for He Hong's figure.
The death row was in the innermost part of the cell of the Dali Temple, and it was from there that the fire spread.
This sudden fire doesn't look like an accident no matter how you look at it, and it is unknown whether someone wanted to put He Hong to death, or if there was another plan.
The fire burned down the wooden fence of the cell, and the prisoners who were still alive fled for their lives, and the prison guards had to put out the fire and watch over the prisoners, which was really a bit scrambling.
