196: Unjustly imprisoned
"Little mouse, go to the lampstand. Stealing oil to eat, you can't get down. Meow meow, the cat is coming, and the cooing rolls down...... Are you not afraid of me? Extremely frightened, Wei Ziyu tried to talk to the little mouse to ease the fear in his heart. She was afraid of this claustrophobic and dark place, where it was easy for her to remember the unbearable experiences of her past life.
She saw that the little mouse ignored her and ran up and down on the straw. A chill suddenly appeared in her heart, these rats live in this dark hell on earth all year round, how can they not be a part of the darkness?
Wei Ziyu couldn't see Bai Yang, and she didn't know where Zhongli Bojun was being held, she stayed in one place, looking at the prisoners in the opposite cell, they were shackled, and if they moved, they would make the cold thing clange. She also had shackles on her body, and she didn't like the sound, so she tried to stay in one place and refused to move.
Why is this happening? She only stayed in Huancheng for a few days, and when she came back, she happened to meet Bai Yang and Wang Ye in prison, and she was inexplicably imprisoned with the bell. To this day, she is still wearing the gray smoke and water flower dress that Bai Yang found for her that day. I don't know if Boqian is also implicated at this time, if he is there, can he save them?
Jun Yanyu knew that Bai Yang and Zhong Li Bojun were in prison a little late, Sima Wanqin told him the news, and went to check on Zhao Linhuai, if he could find Zhao Linhuai's flaws, he could rescue King Xian and Wei Ziyu as soon as possible. Sima Wanqin left, Jun Yanyu hurriedly walked from his courtyard to the front hall, and Jun's father and mother walked in the front hall, sighing for a while. When they saw Jun Yanyu coming, their brows furrowed even deeper.
"Father, please save Bai Yang!" Jun Yanyu stepped forward and knelt down in front of Jun's father and mother.
"Yanyu, now the evidence in the possession of the Criminal Department is very unfavorable to Miss Bai, then Zhao Linhuai brought all the human and physical evidence, do you know the long sword that Miss Bai usually uses?"
"What evidence is conclusive? I don't believe ......"
"Yanyu, according to the news from Sima Shangshu, Zhao Linhuai is the head catcher of the Weiyang Prefect's Yamen, and he personally led people to catch the white girl who was committing the murder, and more than one person has seen this."
"This is not true, these are all fake, Weiyang City is high and far away, Bai Yang is weak, what is the truth of the matter, isn't it just that he Zhao Linhuai is talking nonsense?" Jun Yanyu, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head frantically, he didn't believe that there was no way at all, he didn't believe it......
"Yanyu ......" the monarch's father said earnestly: "Having said that, they still say that the prince is ...... It is also said that the prince intended to kill Li Tangsheng, the prefect of Weiyang, and refused to show up when he arrived in Weiyang City, and he was not in a hurry to investigate the salt and iron case. After waiting for a few days, he sent Bai Yang to assassinate Li Tangsheng, the purpose was to kill people and kill people! ”
"Why does the prince want Baiyang to kill people and destroy their mouths, they have no grudges and no hatred......"
"said that he was trying to cover up the salt and iron case, and many ministers in the DPRK and China said that Li Tangsheng was his person, and the smuggling of salt and iron was instructed by him, and then the East Window incident happened, and he used the excuse of investigating the case to kill Li Tangsheng and kill him."
"Nonsense, the prince is not such a person, not to mention that before the prince went to Weiyang City, the prince was still looking for ...... It's not easy for the prince, didn't the other ministers suggest that he go? ”
"Yes, what is red can be said to be white, how are you going to fight those ministers for your father?"
"......" Jun Yanyu was helpless when she heard this. Sima Wanqin is looking for evidence, but what can he do? When he learned that his beloved had been wrongfully imprisoned and that he could not do anything about it, he hated himself so much.
He had to do something for her, Bai Yang was a person who gave birth in vain...... By the way, go to find the delusional gate, and go to the bamboo forest outside the city to find Mr. Qi to contact the delusional disciples of the delusional gate. Bai Yang is Qing Zijin's side, her position should not be low, if something happens to her, she will not sit idly by.
Thinking so, Jun Yanyu got up to say goodbye to Jun's father and mother, and asked people to prepare horses. Jun Yanyu rode a horse and galloped wildly in the market, and if he was a quarter of an hour slower, he might miss the best opportunity to save Bai Yang. He came to the bamboo forest outside the city with ups and downs, and did not see Mr. Qi, but saw Sima Yuqin with a sad face.
"Brother Yueqin, didn't you go to check on Zhao Linhuai?" Jun Yanyu, who had not yet dismounted, saw Sima Wanqin here, and felt a little stunned in his heart.
"There are many people around Zhao Linhuai, I can't get close to him, he seems to be protected by someone."
"Then find a way to find out which side is protecting him, and maybe we can find a breakthrough." Jun Yanyu suggested, remembering the purpose of her trip, and asked, "What about Mr. Qi?" I'm in a hurry with him. ”
"Looking for him to contact the Delusional Door?" Sima Wanqin smiled self-deprecatingly: "The purpose of my trip is the same, but ...... The people in the bamboo house went to the empty building, and they had long since disappeared. ”
"Why?"
"They may or may not have learned about Bai Yang's imprisonment."
"Brother Qin, you must hurry up to find other evidence for the prince, now His Royal Highness the Seventh is under house arrest by the emperor in the palace, there is no freedom, the prince and Miss Ziyu ...... And the white sun...... Whether they are safe or not depends on us. Jun Yanyu turned the horse's head and prepared to set off.
"What are you going to do?" Sima Wanqin saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly asked.
"Go to Jinghuanfang and find the master of the delusional door, they won't leave their young master behind." Jun Yanyu was determined, if he could save Wei Ziyu, he would definitely be able to save Bai Yang. Even if they can't see each other again, Jun Yanyu hopes that Bai Yang can be safe and sound, and he knows that his beloved is still alive in a corner of this world, which is satisfying.
"Do you know the location of Jing Huanfang?" Sima Wanqin did not agree with his approach: "Have you forgotten how the banquet died? If you get close to Jinghuan Mountain, you will be killed by a fool, can you really get to Jinghuanfang? ”
"Even if it's dangerous, I have to go."
"Since you are so stubborn, I have a map here, which was drawn during the previous tracing banquet, I hope Mr. Qi is in Jinghuanfang, I hope you ......" Sima Wanqin took out the map made of silk silk from his arms, sighed, and handed it to Jun Yanyu's hand: "I hope you ...... If you can come back alive, I'll let a few dark guards escort you over! ”
"Thank you, Brother Yueqin." Jun Yanyu glanced at him gratefully and turned to leave.
……
Wei Shangqing, who learned that Wei Ziyu was in prison, was anxious and annoyed, he only recognized his daughter last night, and today he was arrested by officers and soldiers and put in the prison of the Criminal Department.
The coachman of the Weifu hurriedly drove the carriage into the palace.
On the Imperial Palace, the anxious Zhong Liyue avoided Ye Qianqian and a group of maids and minions, and only left the serving eunuchs by his side. How can he rescue Bojun, he didn't expect that saving people would also be a question for him, the emperor, to think about. If someone deliberately framed him, who would that person be? Since Bojun's accident, Yi'er has run to this palace many times, and every time she has helped Bojun intercede. Yun'er has nothing to do with herself, and is still at ease. At present, the crown prince who guards the safety of the imperial city is very honest, and the queen has not done anything else except to meet her cousin Qiao Jiang usually.
Qiao's family has long since fallen, what kind of storm can a mere Qiao Jiang set off, he doesn't have the ability of Qiao Yuansheng to dare to interfere in the government. Left or right, who is more suspicious? As for Wei Shangqing, he was not so vicious as to send the righteous daughter he had just recognized to the prison of the Criminal Department, not to mention that Bojun was still his son-in-law.
"Your Majesty, General Wei asks to see you."
Really...... Just in time, Zhong Liyue raised his head and waved his big hand: "Xuan." ”
"General Xuanwei has an audience."
There were a few muffled noises on the floor, and Zhong Liyue raised his eyes again, and Wei Shangqing had already walked up to him, kneeling down and saluting.
"The minister knocks to see the emperor."
"No courtesy." Zhong Liyue gave him a seat, holding the impeachment of Zhong Libojun in his hand, and asked, "What is the matter with General Wei?" ”
"Your Majesty." Wei Shangqing frowned, his eyes were sunken, and he looked tired: "The child in prison is a righteous daughter recognized by the minister, she must have nothing to do with this matter, there is no evidence, right?" The minister dared to beg the emperor for mercy and let the child go! ”
"Where is General Wei, it's not that I indiscriminately arrested the general's righteous daughter, but someone pointed out that the woman is the master of the criminal Bai Yang, and she is suspected of instructing Bai Yang to assassinate the Weiyang Prefect, not to mention that the Weiyang Prefect is involved in the Weiyang City Salt and Iron Case." Zhongli saw him like this, and hoped that he could come up with a way to rescue several people together.
Although he is a high emperor, since the beginning of the Zhenming Dynasty. He is praised by the people for being good at arguing right and wrong and not acting recklessly, if he lets them go because of his children's mistakes this time, he will only lose the hearts of the people in the end.
"The emperor also ......" Seeing him like this, Wei Shangqing had nothing to hope for.
Retreating from the Imperial Palace, Wei Shangqing rushed to Sima Mansion non-stop and met Sima Shangshu.
Sima Shangshu is not a prince of power, in essence, he is the same kind of person as Wei Shangqing. As the secretary of the Criminal Department, he is currently investigating the case of King Xian instructing the maid Bai Yang to assassinate Li Tangsheng, the prefect of Weiyang. When Wei Shangqing arrived at Sima's Mansion, Sima Shangshu had just returned from the Criminal Department.
Sima Shangshu and Wei Shangqing sat in the front hall of Sima Mansion together, and Wei Shangqing did not go around in circles, and directly explained his intentions: "Sima Shangshu just came back from the Criminal Department?" ”
"Exactly, General Wei asked what this is for?"
"That's right, there is a woman in the prison of the Criminal Department, named Wei Ziyu."
"That woman ......" Sima Shangshu frowned: "Xiaguan once passed by the cell where she was being held, and she just sat in the corner stupidly, not knowing what to think. ”
"She's scared...... She is very timid, she is a righteous daughter under her, I wonder if Sima Shangshu has found out what she has done? Wei Shangqing asked as softly as he could, mentioning Wei Ziyu, he had never evaded. From these details, Sima Shangshu felt that the general in front of him was a person worth befriending, and when others mentioned their relatives who committed crimes, they would be a little evasive. But it's good that he is in a high position, and he doesn't hide it to tell others that there are relatives in prison, and he is still a righteous daughter, and they are not related by blood.
