Chapter 033: Unexpected

Qin Da and Chen Jinran talked for a long time, but their attention was always on Song Jin.

Today is the commander of the Beizhen Mansion Si Jin Yiwei to send Gongzi to inspect the prison of Shuntian Mansion, Fang Hui has always regarded Gongzi as a sand in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and there must be no more mistakes today, otherwise Gongzi's future will be buried in his hands.

Although Chen Jinran in front of him was someone he knew well, Qin Da was still a little cautious in his heart.

"Chen Gongzi, my son-in-law is inspecting in prison, if Chen Gongzi wants to see my son-in-law, the younger one will take Chen Gongzi in."

Qin Da said, let the Jinyi guard guarding the prison door open the door, and Qin Da took Chen Jinran and Song Jin into the prison of Shuntian Mansion.

As soon as the door opened, a chill blew out from the depths of the prison, so cold that Song Jin immediately shivered several times in a row, pulled Chen Jinran's clothes tightly, and let Chen Jinran drag her away.

Qin Da ordered someone to light the oil lamp in the prison, and he himself took the torch handed by the jailer and led the way to Chen Jinran and Song Jin behind him.

Behind Song Jin, there were also a few more jailers and brocade guards who followed closely behind them.

In this prison, there was a strong smell of blood everywhere, and there was also a burst of rancid smell, which was the smell of rotten and stinky food after it had deteriorated.

Following closely behind Chen Jinran, Song Jin could still hear the sound of rats gnawing on things from time to time, and the sound was not far from her, and it seemed to be around her.

Through the torch held by Qin Da, Song Jin could see clearly the walls of this prison, the walls were covered with bloodstains, which had long since turned dazzling black because of the air.

On top of the blackness, there are also a lot of spider silks, and just looking at it makes people shudder.

No wonder Bai He didn't want to follow him in, he thought he was bold, and he shuddered a little when he saw this scene.

If it were a timid girl like Bai He, I was afraid that she would have been so frightened that she would cry out before she entered the depths of the prison.

The deeper you go to the prison, the more intense and unbearable the pungent smell of blood becomes.

Chen Jinran was holding on to the wall, he had been retching for a while, Song Jin only felt that his stomach was churning badly, if the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, I was afraid that even she would not be able to stand it.

Qin shouted that the jailer brought a bowl of tea over and handed it to Chen Jinran.

After taking the tea, Chen Jinran took a few sips and drank the tea, barely suppressing the discomfort in his stomach.

"Second Master Chen, if you really can't stand it, let's get here first! My son-in-law is now inspecting the cells where the prisoners are held, and he will come back later! ”

Qin Da said this to Chen Jinran on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had already beckoned the jailer to come over, and after instructing the jailer a few words, the jailer took the torch and went to the cell in front.

Because of the discomfort in his stomach, Chen Jinran's stinky face became pale at the moment, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

Song Jin took out the sweat towel he was carrying, and could only take the trouble to wipe his sweat for him, and whispered a few words while Qin Da was not paying attention.

"Chen Jinran, if you really can't hold on, stay here honestly! Later, when there is no one, I will slip away by myself, and I will find an opportunity to meet with him, and I will figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and I will come again. ”

Chen Jinran held Song Jin's hand tightly, as if he didn't want her to go.

After seeing Qin Da walk away with a torch, he replied.

"This prison is full of dangers, can you find out where your housekeeper is being held?"

"It's better to wait for Mr. Zhang to come, let's explain the situation to him, he is an upright person, and he will definitely take care of your family and wash away his grievances."

Song Jin was about to speak, when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.

"Chen Er! Chen Er! You are still so weak, you still said that you want you to take the Jinyiwei exam, I think you just go back to the house to inherit the property of the Taishifu, what Jinyiwei to test, don't toss around! ”

Song Jin turned around and saw the brocade guard who was talking.

That person does have some déjà vu!

Isn't it the Jinyiwei who helped her pay for tea on Siping Street that day?

How did he end up here?

Could it be that he is what Chen Jinran said, the eldest son of Peng Chengbo's family, Zhang Ping, the deputy commander of Jinyi Guard, who came to inspect the prison today?

Chen Jinran raised his head and glanced at him, with a faint smile on his face.

Good boy, it's only here now, but let him wait!

"Didn't you say you were going to take the Jinyi exam for me? Why is it that now, it has become for me to take the test myself?"

"I said that you Zhang Ping, if you don't honestly be your own imperial relative, what kind of deputy commander of Jinyi Wei will be, and let others dictate all day long, it's really embarrassing to death."

"If it were you who were to replace me, and used the relationship of the Zhang family to remove the old man from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and become the commander of the Jinyi Guard himself, then you would be able to bring your brother in."

While speaking, Zhang Ping had already walked to Chen Jinran's side, and the two punched.

Zhang Ping took off the wine jug he was carrying at his waist and threw it to Chen Jinran behind him.

"Taste the wine in the palace! I know that you love to drink, so I specially asked my sister to take it out of the palace. ”

seems to have noticed Song Jin beside Chen Jinran. Zhang Ping approached Song Jin, picked up the bangs that Song Jin used to cover half of his face with a saber, looked at her carefully, and then seemed to have found something.

Zhang Ping smiled and hugged Chen Jinran, and while Chen Jinran was not paying attention, he punched him in the chest, causing him to shout in pain.

"Chen Jinran, you kid is so bold that you dare to take a girl to the prison of Shuntian Mansion, which girl is this? What sweet words did you use to coax you to come over? Why don't you take this girl away?"

Chen Jinran endured the pain in his chest, turned his head to look at Song Jin, and saw that Song Jin had no reaction on his face, so he turned his head and returned to Zhang Ping.

"Mr. Zhang, this girl said that she wanted to go into this prison to see someone, and she begged me. I had the courage to take her into this prison, and I hoped that Mr. Zhang would be accommodating, so let me take her in! ”

Sitting on the Taishi chair brought by the jailer, Zhang Ping sat on it, carefully looked at Chen Jinran and Song Jin in front of him, and saw that Song Jin was dodging, as if he didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Chen Er, it's not that I don't give you accommodation, but the rules of this prison, it just doesn't give women entry."

"I'm here to inspect this prison today, if you tell me to break the rules like this, if it spreads, how can I discipline those brothers under me?"

Hearing Zhang Ping say this, Chen Jinran also knew his difficulties, but since he brought Song Er in today, he had to let Song Er see the steward of their family, otherwise how should Song Er repay him by making cattle and horses?

Thinking of this, even if he risked offending Zhang Ping, Chen Jinran still wanted to let Song Jin in.

Chen Jinran moved his mouth and was about to speak, but was preempted by Song Jin.

"Master Zhang, I am the second girl of the Southern Song family in the city, you should have some impression of me. On that day on Siping Street, it was you who helped me teach the owner of the herbal tea stall a lesson and paid for the tea. ”

"Song Jin is grateful for your help that day, but I really have something important today, I want to enter the prison of Shuntianfu and find someone."

Song Jin wiped the soot off his face with his hand, picked up the bangs that he had just used to cover half of his face, and said to Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping is also a little familiar with Song Jin, when he went to Siping Street to arrest people that day, he passed by an herbal tea stall, saw a girl eating tea, no money to pay silver, the owner of the herbal tea stall wanted to chop off the girl's hand, it was he who scared the owner of the herbal tea stall, paid for the tea, and the girl would not be poisoned.

I didn't think that the girl that day was the girl in front of me.

Listening to the meaning of her words, she entered the prison of Shuntianfu to find someone.

But the people who are being imprisoned here are all important criminals of the imperial court, who is this girl looking for?

"Since Second Miss Song has entered this Shuntianfu Prison and is looking for someone, then please tell Second Miss Song who you want to find. If it is within his ability, he will definitely help Miss Song Er. ”

Zhang Ping looked at Song Jin opposite, although Song Jin was dressed as a man, and there was still some unwiped soot on his face, he still looked so beautiful.

It makes people look at it, and they can't help but itch.

He was absolutely not interested in Song Jin, he just looked at Song Jin pitifully and wanted to help her.

Zhang Ping silently recited these three sentences three times in his heart, and continued to listen to Song Jin's statement.

"Zhang Dagongzi, the person I came in to find is He Zhong, the steward of the White Silk Workshop on Siping Street, I heard that he killed the maid who served in the Xuguo Mansion, but I know that he is not such a person, someone must have killed someone and blamed him."

"I went to this prison today to ask him about the ins and outs of this matter, so that I could overturn the case for him."

Song Jin's words fell, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, she had already said what she should say. If this Zhang Ping didn't agree to take her to see He Zhong again, she should have called Chen Jinran and broke in directly.

At that time, even if something happens, with Chen Jinran to take the blame, there will be nothing for her.

After listening to Song Jin, Zhang Ping asked Qin Da to take the personnel book of the Shuntianfu Prison, flipped through a few pages, and did see He Zhong's name in it, but the person had already been taken away, could it be that Chen Jinran and Song Jin in front of him didn't know?

"Second Miss Song, the He Zhong you said was picked up early this morning by the second son of the Lian family."

"The Duke of Xu has withdrawn the complaint, and that He Zhong is innocent. Originally, I was going to ask the people of Shuntianfu to send it back, but I didn't think that even Gongzi called someone to pick it up early in the morning. ”

"The people in Shuntian Mansion are busy, so naturally they didn't call anyone to go to Song Mansion to report the news, and if they don't go there, please forgive Miss Song."

Zhang Ping said, handed the personnel book of the Shuntianfu Prison in his hand to Song Jin, and specially opened the page to show Song Jin.

He Zhong was really picked up by the Lian family?

How did the people of the Lian family know that He Zhong was killed by Xu Hui?

And that Lianmo, how could he help himself inexplicably.

Zhang Ping personally escorted Chen Jinran and Song Jin out of the prison, and made an appointment to meet again another day.
