Duan Jingxun had already guessed that Lin Meng had the ability to frame Li Kang, but he couldn't release Lin Yue privately.

Prisoners in the criminal department are also divided into grades, and prisoners like Lin Yue, who are waiting to be executed with conclusive evidence, are not allowed to be visited, and only allow their relatives to visit them before they are executed or exiled.

Therefore, Lin Meng has not been able to enter the gate of the criminal department for half a step, he has been crazy to save his son to such a point, which shows how urgent it is for him to rescue Lin Yue.

Duan Jingxun pretended to be gentle and quickly helped people up, "Lord Lin is now a hero, if there is anything, it is only necessary to say anything, as long as this king can help, it is definitely incumbent." ”

"The old minister begs His Highness to rescue my son and reunite our family in the New Year!" Lin Meng was sad but saw that Duan Jingxun on the other side seemed to be embarrassed, and he said eagerly, "Your Highness, what else is dissatisfied?" The minister has already pulled Li Kang off the horse, as long as you say a word, my son can come back, you will definitely help me, Your Highness! ”

Lin Meng said that he was about to kneel down again, but this time Duan Jingxun didn't pull him hard, but instead walked a little farther away and sat down behind the desk.

Lin Meng looked up at Duan Jingxun in surprise, why did the person who said that he wanted to help him change his face after such a while.

Duan Jingxun pretended to be embarrassed and spoke, "This king must be doing you so much, but now that Li Kang has just had an accident, this king will help you rescue your son, this behavior seems to be like there is no silver here, since Li Kang has been imprisoned, Lord Lin doesn't need to rush at this time." ”

"How can you not be in a hurry, my son has been in prison for more than a month, and the hearts of the old minister's whole family are on him," Lin Meng knelt eagerly and walked a few steps forward, "Then Li Kang's private deeds to make people torture into tricks are all written in the blood book, and his methods will naturally lead to unjust, false and wrongful cases, you can use this name to rescue Yue'er It is something that no one can say!" ”

"Confused!" Duan Jingxun also became angry when he saw him pressing step by step without knowing what to do, "When did the matter in the court become such a child's play as you said, after all, it is a criminal who has evidence in the case, how can you let this king interfere in this matter in a grand manner!" ”

"But you didn't mean ......"

"Yes, this king said that he wanted to help you, but he didn't help you like that," Duan Jingxun didn't want to make things too ruthless, he thought for a moment and said, "Since Li Kang has been imprisoned, your son will be released sooner or later, and you are in a hurry, at this time, we can only secretly Chen Cang." ”

"You mean ......"

"This king is familiar with a few servants of the Criminal Department, you come to the door with some courtesies and say some good things to lower your posture, they will turn a blind eye to the face of this king, and this king will send a few trustworthy people to follow you to rescue Lin Yue and go home for the New Year first, and the rest of the things will be said when everyone's eyes do not converge here in a few days."

Lin Meng's heart was cold, "Then, isn't that Yue'er still guilty, what if someone comes to interrogate?" ”

"Don't worry, this king will naturally delay time for you when the time comes, and wait for you to send people back to prison."

"But in this way, Yue'er still can't appear in front of everyone openly, wouldn't he become a thief who escaped from prison without permission!"

Duan Jingxun sneered, "The evidence of your son's crime is conclusive, it's just that some things haven't been collected yet, when the father and emperor come out, he will definitely be the first to condemn him, and then your son will either be beheaded or exiled, although he is sneaky now, but fortunately, he can reunite with his family at home and raise him, which of the two does Lord Lin think is better?" ”

Lin Meng couldn't speak anymore, he could see through Duan Jingxun, before the accident, he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he also guided Lin Meng to do these hurtful things.

Lin Meng was completely chilled, but he had already lost the chips in his hand early, and there was no possibility of withdrawing from the matter, so he had to do it first.

Lin Meng knocked on the ground, sad and angry, "Thank you, old minister!" ”

Duan Jingxun waved his hand, "There is no need to be polite, if you want Lin Yue to recover his free body as soon as possible, you will help this king suppress Duan Jingyi more in the early court tomorrow, and the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will definitely not fall into his hands!" ”

Lin Meng's heart was desolate, and he even wanted to laugh in the face of the greedy Duan Jingxun, but for the sake of his son, he had to bow his head again and accept his life.

After Lin Meng left, Duan Jingxun showed a satisfied expression unabashedly, he secretly sighed that he didn't care about Lin Yue's affairs at that time, it was really a right choice, and now he pulled down Li Kang without bloodshed or even the slightest effort, as for what he just said, asking Lin Meng to find all the servants of the Criminal Department was also the result of his thoughts.

If the East Window incident happened in the future, Duan Jingxun could be said to be Lin Meng's audacity to do things in his own name privately, and he would still be able to get out clean at that time, all the charges were Lin Meng's, and he himself was the biggest beneficiary.

Duan Jingxun didn't have time to rest, and immediately pondered the candidate for the new secretary of the Criminal Department.

Duan Jingyi's side also rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department, and he and Tang Meng hid in the dark of the corner and silently counted the rules of the patrol soldiers.

Finally, at the moment when the two teams of soldiers staggered against each other, Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng flew into the front door of the prison of the Criminal Department like two black shadows.

There was the bright light of torches and the conversation of several guards inside, Duan Jingyi looked around and Tang Meng glanced at each other, and then the two of them flew towards the side of the branch room with a clear heart.

The whole process was not noticed by anyone, and this branch was the special morgue of the Criminal Department.

It was cold and snowy outside, and it was even more chilly inside, only a faint light came in, Duan Jingyi just flashed in, and he put on the guards inside, and he immediately dropped his hand knife, and before the person could make a sound, he fell on the mat on the side.

Tang Meng didn't care about a lot, so he hurriedly ran in, lifted the white cloth one by one, and took advantage of the faint light to carefully identify each corpse.

At this time, she couldn't be afraid, and finally found a corpse that had committed suicide by biting her tongue in the corner of the wall, and immediately examined it carefully.

Duan Jingyi lit the fire for her, while covering the fire, she listened vigilantly to the movements of those people outside, Tang Meng was even more nervous, she didn't dare to take a breath, just concentrated on checking Guo Yi's injury, and after a while, she nodded at Duan Jingyi with a clear heart.

Then the fire in the hands of the two was extinguished, and two black shadows flew out of the prison of the criminal department like ghosts.

Duan Jingyi was afraid that she would work too the way back, so she couldn't help but say that she directly beat the person sideways and took off to leave, and after a stick of incense, the two of them fell back into the courtyard of the dream garden steadily.

In the courtyard, Xing'er Xiaotao and Jia San had been waiting for a long time, and when they came back, Xing'er was busy holding Da Yu to surround Tang Meng, "The slave has already asked Xiaopei and Huzi to sleep, and now there are only three of us in the courtyard, just rest assured." ”

Tang Meng nodded, took a sip of the hot tea handed by Xiao Tao, and couldn't wait to turn around and speak to Duan Jingyi, "There are big problems with the injuries on Guo Yi's body, there are many scratches that seem to be self-inflicted by himself and are not caused by the instruments in the criminal department, and there are many bruises that are formed after the death of a person, which means that someone deliberately whipped the corpse after Guo Yi died, causing the current tragic situation to show everyone." ”

"There is such a thing!"

Tang Meng was determined, recalling, "I just looked at his tongue and felt that something was wrong, it takes great courage to bite his tongue and commit suicide, if it weren't for the heart of death, he would never choose such an extraordinary method, since he was not punished in the criminal department, His Majesty also dealt with his arson conservatively, then he definitely had no reason to commit suicide, but the cross-section of his tongue was extremely decisive, as if he had the determination to die." ”

Duan Jingyi's gaze became dangerous, "So Li Kang must have been designed, and there are accomplices lurking in the criminal department!" ”

Tang Meng nodded, "Guo Yi's corpse is very important, the prince must let His Majesty know that there is something strange about this matter, the key fight is above the court tomorrow, if you can get the position of the chief judge, then we will have a better chance of winning." ”

Duan Jingyi's eyes were calm and firm, "No matter what, this case can't fall into Duan Jingxun's hands." ”

Early the next morning, Duan Jingyi entered the palace, and today happened to be the day when Duan Jingqi came to the court, and he only reluctantly rushed back from Sanssouci Island last night and didn't know anything about what happened in the imperial city.

It wasn't until Emperor Duan's calm face went to the court to ask someone to escort Li Kang to the main hall that Duan Jingqi was shocked.
