Chapter 361: Out of prison

Late at night, the capital city of Luoyang Qingxu view of the secret room.

Wuxin and Mei Niang knelt on the ground, reporting something to the jade-faced fox.

The jade-faced fox was surprised, "What? And that made her run away?"

Mei Niang hurriedly said: "The king forgives the sin, because his subordinates didn't expect her to have help, so ...... When you are caught off guard, you ......."

The jade-faced fox was surprised, "Help? It seems that we are still one move behind."

Unintentionally hurriedly said: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the king."

The jade-faced fox thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, this time it's this seat that is not thoughtful, I don't blame you, get up."

Mei Niang, who was overjoyed, hurriedly said, "King Xie." Hurry up and stand up.

The jade-faced fox said, "By the way, this seat asked you to investigate the matter of the martial arts competition, how did the investigation go?"

Mei Niang hurriedly said, "We have learned important clues, and I believe we can find out all about it tomorrow."

The jade-faced fox nodded and said, "Well, then you guys hurry up, and before the execution the day after tomorrow, you must get to the bottom of it."

Wuxin, Mei Niang hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the king."

Late at night, the study of the Criminal Department of Luoyang, Beijing.

Lord Chen was discussing something with a small official, and Lord Chen seemed a little anxious.

Master Chen hurriedly said: "I will be beheaded at noon tomorrow, and at this juncture, a culprit suddenly appeared and turned himself in.

The little official said carefully: "This matter is not trivial, if this murderer is true, and we don't report it, if it leaks out, it will be killed."

Master Chen hurriedly said, "You still need to say that you are sure that the one who surrendered is the murderer?"

The little official hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the adult, in fact, when Lord Guo was interrogated, the little one also suspected that the murderer was not the king of Heng'an, but because Guo Shangshu was too arrogant, he didn't dare to say it, and now, he surrendered, and the little one is even more sure that the murderer is definitely not the king of Heng'an."

Master Chen was surprised, "Are you so sure?"

The little official nodded and said: "This person who surrendered, called Zhang San, nicknamed Zhang Laosan, was sentenced to death for robbery and murder before, and when he was about to be executed, he didn't know what the reason was, he actually escaped from prison, and now he confessed that the knife was bought from Chengxi Luo Ji, and the small one went to investigate, and the boss clearly remembered that it was Zhang Laosan who bought it, and that knife, confirmed by the boss, was indeed the one he bought from him, because Luo Ji has a unique mark, this mark is too small, there is no special shape, Ordinary people don't notice, only connoisseurs do, you see, adults." As he spoke, he handed over a compass marker.

Master Chen looked at it, compared it with the Luo Zi mark on the murder knife on the side, and nodded, "Well, it's exactly the same."

The little official continued: "And the scene of the crime described by Zhang Laosan is consistent with what we know, and the little one checked the previous autopsy records of Zhang Laosan, and the modus operandi of the crime is very consistent, so it can be determined that this Zhang Laosan is the murderer who committed the murder."

Master Chen was puzzled, "But why did he turn himself in at this time? Isn't that self-defeating?"

The little official pondered: "He himself said that he was a conscience discovery, but I think that there may be other hidden circumstances, or it is forced to do so, but the current evidence proves that he is the real murderer, as for why he turned himself in, my lord, this is secondary......

Master Chen nodded and said, "Well, according to what you say, that Zhang Laosan is indeed the murderer?"

The little officer bowed and said, "Exactly."

Lord Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then you mean that this official should report this matter to the emperor?"

The little official nodded and said, "Yes, and soon, early tomorrow morning."

Lord Chen hesitated, "However, this case was decided by Lord Guo, and it has been tried by the three divisions, so it doesn't seem good for this official to do this......

The little official smiled and said, "Little I understand that you don't want to hurt the harmony of your colleagues, and you don't want to offend Dali Temple and the Imperial History Yamen, but my lord, you have to report this case to the emperor

I can't do it."

Master Chen wondered, "Oh? Why is that?"

The little official hurriedly said: "This case is decided by Lord Guo, whether it is right or wrong has nothing to do with you, you are now setting things right and saving the life of Prince Heng'an, King Heng'an, even the emperor, will be grateful to you, in front of the emperor, this is a great achievement."

Lord Chen was pleasantly surprised, nodded and said, "This official understands, but ......."

The little official smiled and said, "My lord, I know what you are worried about, but do you think, Lord Guo, he is unconscious now, like a dead man, I don't know when he will wake up, can he blame you?" Besides, Dali Temple and Yushi are also very talkative, they can completely put the blame on Guo Shangshu, saying that they were misled by Lord Guo, and Lord Guo is speechless now, so naturally there is nothing to refute."

Master Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, what you said seems to make some sense."

The little official said cautiously, "My lord, time is running out."

Master Chen thought for a while, and resolutely said, "Okay, just do as you say, you will immediately draft a memo overnight, explain the case in detail, and this official will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to meet the emperor."

The little official smiled slightly, took out a fold from the bottom of his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The folds are all ready, just wait for your consent to stamp it."

Master Chen was surprised, "Oh? So fast?" As he spoke, he took it and opened it.

The little official said in his heart, "Who is not happy about this pie falling from the sky." "The little one feels that the matter is urgent, so he doesn't dare to slack off."

Lord Chen looked at it and nodded, "Okay, it's well written, it's written like this, if this official makes a meritorious contribution because of this, he will definitely not forget you."

The little official was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Master Xie."

Master Chen nodded and said, "Well, okay, you've worked hard too, go back and rest."

The little official hurriedly said, "It's my lord, and my subordinates are retiring." As he spoke, he bowed and withdrew.

Master Chen watched the little official go out, looked at the fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "Fold, fold, it depends on you whether I am promoted or not." A burst of pride.

Early in the morning, the palace room of Luoyang, the capital.

Wu Zetian sat on the imperial case and looked at the folding, and Lord Chen bowed down and waited below.

Wu Zetian raised his head and said in surprise: "The murderer repented and confessed, is there really such a thing?"

Master Chen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, and the culprit is still in prison right now."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Have you really made it clear? It can't be a deliberate impersonation, right?"

Lord Chen hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, everything has been cleared, and Weichen dares to guarantee it with the head of the item."

Wu Zetian was taken aback, hesitated and said, "Well, it's good to be clear, in this way, he was indeed wronged."

Lord Chen hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor, I really wronged the prince."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, fortunately, it's still too late, and I didn't make a big mistake, Lord Chen."

Master Chen hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister is here."

Wu Zetian instructed: "Spread my will, release King Heng'an immediately, let him go home and reunite with his family, there is no mistake."

Master Chen hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order."

In the morning, the prison of the Criminal Department of Luoyang, the capital.

King Hengan is sitting on the kang with his eyes closed.

At this time, he saw Lord Chen walking in with two jailers holding a set of clothes, and when Prince Hengan heard the voice, he was shocked, and sighed and said, "Hey, this day has finally come, it's just that......

Master Chen walked outside the prison door, bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, you are okay." As he spoke, he motioned for someone to open the cell door.

Prince Heng'an opened his eyes, glanced at Lord Chen, and sighed, "You're here to see off this king, right?" Come on, do whatever you want, have a good time." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Master Chen smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you misunderstood, the lower officials are here to see you off, but not to send you to the Dharma field, but to send you back to the house."

King Hengan was surprised, "Back home?"

Master Chen smiled and said, "Yes, the real murderer has turned himself in yesterday, and you are innocent

Now you can go home."

King Hengan was taken aback and said in surprise, "You didn't lie to me? Is that true? Did the murderer turn himself in? Am I innocent?"

Lord Chen hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Wang, congratulations, go out quickly, the county lord and Young Master Zhong are waiting for you outside."

King Hengan was surprised, "Beauty? Zhong'er is outside?"

Lord Chen said, "As soon as the emperor decrees, the lower officials will send someone to inform them that they are waiting for you outside now."

King Hengan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said happily: "Okay, okay, this king will go out to meet them, great, I am finally free, free......" A burst of joy......

In the morning, the lobby of the Criminal Department of Luoyang, Beijing.

Meiren, Wu Zhong, and Fu Bo stood in the lobby, looking out anxiously.

Fu Bo hurriedly said, "County Lord, why hasn't the prince come out yet?"

The beauty advised, "Let's wait, we should be out soon."

At this time, Lord Chen accompanied King Heng'an, who had changed into new clothes, from outside and walked to the door of the lobby, King Heng'an saw the three of them, and was pleasantly surprised, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and shouted excitedly: "Beauty, Zhong'er......"

The beauty and Wu Zhong said excitedly: "Father...... Father" ran over, hugged King Hengan and cried, "Father......"

"Father, I miss you so much, Father."

King Heng'an was moved, hugged the two, and murmured, "Father misses you too...... Father thinks he will never see you again......

Lord Chen and Fu Bo looked at it and couldn't help but feel sad, and Fu Bo even reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes......

After a while, the three of them separated, and the beauty cared, "Father, are you okay inside?"

King Hengan hurriedly said, "Okay, good, no matter how bad it is, it's all right now." He laughed.

Wu Zhong and the beauty couldn't help but laugh for a while, and Wu Zhong said happily: "Father, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay."

Lord Chen smiled and said, "County Lord, Young Master Zhong, you can rest assured, the prince is fine, you see, he is also full of anger when he speaks."

The beauty hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Chen, for your hard work."

Master Chen smiled and said, "Small meaning, small meaning, it is the honor of the lower officials to be able to contribute to the prince."

King Heng'an hurriedly said, "Hey, beauty, what about your mother, didn't she come with you?"

The beauty was stunned for a moment, and said gloomily: "Mother, she is too sad, she is groggy all this time, I don't want her to be too tired, and I haven't told her a lot of things."

King Heng'an was gloomy for a while, nodded and said, "Well, during this time, it's really embarrassing for her, beauty, Zhong'er, then let's go back quickly."

Wu Zhong hurriedly said, "Okay."

Master Chen smiled and said, "Lord Wang, then the official will send you out."

King Hengan hugged his fists and said, "Then there is Lord Lao Chen, the great grace is not grateful, and the king of Japan will personally come to the door to thank you."

Master Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, you are really a bad official...... Lord Wang, please." said that he sent the three people out, and sent the three of them to the sedan chair to go, and then he breathed a sigh of relief......

In the morning, the bedroom of the princess of Heng'an Palace, Luoyang, Beijing.

The princess was asleep, and Twig was wiping her face with a towel.

At this time, Beauty, Wu Zhong, and Fu Bo walked in with King Heng'an, and Xiaozhi was surprised: "Wang ......."

King Heng'an stopped, walked to the side of the bed softly, sat down at the head of the bed, looked at the princess affectionately, held the princess's hand exposed by the bed, and called softly, "Husband...... Madame......"

After a while, the princess opened her eyes in a daze, and was shocked when she saw King Heng'an, and said in surprise: "Lord, are you the prince?"

King Heng'an was excited for a while, nodded and said, "Well, it's me, I'm Yuzhi."

The princess was surprised, "Are you really the prince? The concubine read that right?"

King Heng'an was excited for a while, and said excitedly, "You read that right, it's me, madam, you're tired."

The princess grabbed King Heng'an's hand tightly and cried, "Lord, you can come back."

King Heng'an said sadly: "Madam......" The two hugged each other and cried bitterly......

Beauty, Wu Zhong, Xiaozhi, and Fu Bo couldn't help but fall when they looked at it

Tears ......
