Upper capital.

Jiang Rong didn't take the carriage, and walked slowly in the direction of the criminal department alone.

He pondered all the way, not knowing what to say after seeing her, whether to tell her what he had seen and heard when he returned to Beijing, if he told her, would it make her recognize Gu Chuyu, or would it make her more sad?

Jiang Rong walked for a long time before he came back to his senses, and found that the long street was empty, and a breeze could roll up the dust, even if one or two pedestrians occasionally passed by, they were buried in their heads, and their steps were hurried, as if they were afraid of bumping into ghosts.

Soon, a dark shadow appeared in his eyes, it was the Xuanyi guard of the Hidden Moon Platform, who was escorting several people towards him.

Jiang Rong stopped and stood in the middle of the road, his eyes following them, and when they walked past him, he recognized that the embarrassed prisoners were all from his uncle's side......

Someone recognized him when they turned their heads, and struggled to shout, "Your Highness...... Your Highness, save your minister! ”

Jiang Rong's expression was solemn, and the hand hanging by his side curled up slightly.

But Gu Chuyu's people, how could they put him in their eyes. Even if the minister shouted, those Xuanyi guards turned a deaf ear and escorted people on.

Jiang Rong said lightly: "What crime did they commit?" ”

Xuan Yiwei stopped when he heard the voice, and the person who walked at the end turned around and said, "Your Highness, we are on the orders of our master to arrest those suspected of buying and selling official positions, and these people are suspected of taking bribes." ”

Jiang Rong said coldly: "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime, is he going to kill them all?" ”

"I don't know the master's intentions, we only know what we are ordered to do, and we will retire."

"Your Highness...... Your Highness save us......"

The voices of the ministers calling for help were still in Jiang Rong's ears, and he turned his eyes to see that the pedestrian had gradually moved away.

Ei clenched his fists. There are not many staff members in the Wei State Mansion, and now that he has lost his troops for no reason, it is no wonder that his uncle is so angry that he falls ill.

He didn't expect Gu Chuyu to let Mei Xiaoren go, and he took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of dissidents, and in order to set off this bloody storm, he even said in a high-sounding manner that it was his uncle's idea to denounce the villain......

That's a really good excuse.

Jiang Rong couldn't help but sneer, if it was ruthless, who in the entire Daning could match him Gu Chuyu!

The prison of the Criminal Department.

Mei Xiaoren picked up a piece of dry grass, held it in her hand and braided the flowers, and before long, there was a sound of slow footsteps in her ears, she paused, raised her head, and it was still not him in her sight.

Jiang Rong walked to the wooden fence and frowned when he saw the situation in prison.

"Your Highness, are you willing to come back?" Mei Xiaoren smiled lightly.

"Villain ......"

Mei Xiaoren could see that Jiang Rong was worried, and said calmly: "I'm fine, I'm fine here." ”

"You were sentenced to death and said you were fine?"

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth kept a faint smile, "Isn't there no sentence yet?" ”

"Ten days later."

The smile on Mei Xiaoren's lips froze, and after a pause, he continued to fold the flowers in his hand, as if his heart was like water.

"Why are you so stupid, do you think that if you break flowers and grass here, he will save you!" Jiang Rong turned his eyes to the side and hesitated for a long time before speaking again, "I went to him, and he would rather send a thousand troops to fight a Xia country than save your life!" ”

Mei Xiaoren folded the flowers silently, she counted them in a blink of an eye, there were three around her, and it was enough to fold seven more.

Jiang Rong wanted her to recognize the reality, but she was unmoved, and the appearance of her intention to die calmly made his heart as uncomfortable as a fire.

"I won't let you die!"

Mei Xiaoren heard a firm voice, and when he looked up again, there was no one outside the wooden fence, only the sound of hurried footsteps was heard in the distance.

Imperial City, Imperial Garden.

From the moment Jiang Rong entered the imperial garden, his ears were surrounded by silk and bamboo wind music, and he walked towards the place where the warbler sang and danced, and his steps were as fast as a fire.

The villain is still in prison for the death penalty, Xuanyiwei is arresting people like crazy outside, and the officials and the people are frightened and dare not go out behind closed doors...... Shangjing was in chaos, and his father was still indulging in the palace, regardless of whether it was sunny or rainy outside.

Jiang Rong walked into the Xuantai and buried his head in his hands: "See my father." ”

Emperor Tianhong sat on the dragon chair and leisurely ate a green jujube handed by Concubine Wu in his arms, and then asked, "Ei'er, what kind of temper were you making before, why don't you go back to Beijing?" ”

"Erchen didn't lose his temper, Erchen just panicked and wanted to go out for a walk."

Concubine Wu smiled, "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, Your Highness will not return to Beijing for no reason now." ”

A little bit of beauty, Emperor Tianhong then understood, let go of the concubine and stood up, and asked Jiang Rong with a calm face: "You came to me to intercede for Mei Xiaoren?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Rong to speak, Concubine Wu took the first step to persuade: "Your Highness, don't bother Your Majesty with this matter, Gu Xiang has indiscriminately sent the minister to the prison in the past few days, and the prison is almost unfitted, and the city is full of turmoil, and Your Majesty is also sad about it." ”

Jiang Rong glanced at Concubine Wu, and then swept the musicians and dancers around him, is this how to hurt the gods?

I'm afraid that no matter how hard Wei Guogong and Gu Chuyu fight, his father and emperor can't forget to indulge in pleasures, and they don't care about the affairs of the court, as long as the balance of the world doesn't fight.

Emperor Tianhong saw that Jiang Rong was still there, and beckoned: "If there is nothing to do, retreat, you have just returned to Beijing, so you can rest and relax, and I will go to see Wei Guogong on my behalf, and I will say that I know his difficulties." ”

"My father just knows what's the use, Gu Chuyu kills dissidents like this, people and gods are angry, and my father can't stop it, but does my father want to be like him and kill the country's loyalty?"

Emperor Tianhong slapped his palm on the desk and said angrily: "Presumptuous, what I want to kill is a rebel minister who damages my face and the prestige of Daning, not a loyal one!" ”

Emperor Tianhong was furious, the music stopped instantly, and the Xuan Pavilion was so quiet that even Concubine Wu and other people were afraid.

Jiang Rong was not afraid, he looked left and right, and didn't want to say more, but said: "Father, if you want to kill Mei Xiaoren, even your sons will kill them together!" With that, he gave up his hands and left.

"Rebel!"

Even if his father was furious behind his back, he walked calmly.

In the cell, several flowers were braided and dismantled by Mei Xiaoren, and there was only one left, which means that there is only tomorrow left.

No one had been here these days, and even the jailers rarely passed by outside her cell, making her life extraordinarily quiet.

Mei Xiaoren walked to the edge of the wooden fence with the flowers, and found that the cells in the distance were full of people at some point, but two or three rooms around her were still vacant, no wonder she didn't feel noisy.

Mei Xiaoren stood behind the wooden fence, and the people who were locked in there could also see her, but most of them glanced at her face with disdain.

She felt that some of them looked familiar, like a few ministers she had seen in the Wei Mansion before.

She didn't know why they were imprisoned, but they weren't as short as she was......

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes and played with the flower in his hand, and then lowered his hand, and the flower slipped from his palm and fell to the ground.
