It's still morning, Chen Yuan thinks about doing things at night, he definitely can't go back tonight, and he doesn't want to sleep on the street anymore, so he went to the alley to find a remote house to rent.

Finally staying up until dark, he carefully carried the token and came to the Nanjing Mansion Prison. The prisoners in the prison are also divided into several classes, and they are divided into official offices, and Chen Yuanlai is the place where the condemned prisoners are held.

"This is a prison place, whoever stays here, get out of here." As soon as Chen Yuan approached, a jailer roared viciously.

Chen Yuan glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he took out the token from his arms and handed it to them.

The two jailers thought it was a bribe, and secretly said that this person was sensible, and smiled, and when they saw the token by the light of the lantern hanging on the door, their faces could not help but change. They guarded the Nanjing Prison, and they had seen the world in the end.

A person respectfully returned the sign to Chen Yuan, and said with a sneer: "I don't know what the son has to do?" ”

"I want to go in and see a prisoner."

"This." The jailer looked embarrassed.

"Why, can't you?" Chen Yuanyang said angrily.

"Yes, yes, please come with me." The jailer led Chen Yuan in, winking at the other. The other person understood, and hurriedly reported to the higher-ups.

As soon as Chen Yuan entered, he heard the prisoner's cries of pain, a little faint moaning, and the loud shouting and whipping of the jailers. The dilapidated table and the blood-stained torture instruments made him feel very uncomfortable.

"I said Wang Er, you don't want to do it, do you, this is a heavy place for death, how can you bring someone casually? Lord Yang personally ordered that martial law is imposed today, and no one is allowed to visit the prison, how many heads do you have? The man in his fifties, with a thin face, scolded Wang Er.

Wang Er approached the man and said in his ear: "Qi Tou, this person took King Zhao's token, and the little one didn't dare not let him in." ”

Qi Prison Head was taken aback, his little eyes looked around, and he whispered, "No one else has seen it." ”

"No, the little one has already asked Li San to report to Lord Yang."

Qi Prison showed an approving look: "Very good." Then he walked to Chen Yuan's side and said to Chen Yuan, "I don't know where Your Excellency is enshrined?" ”

"A grass people, adults don't need to think about it." Chen Yuan replied lightly.

The more calm Chen Yuan was, the more Qi Cell Boss didn't dare to slack off, and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency wants to do, I'll give you orders right away." ”

"I want to meet Dong Ming, the Jiangning criminal who was arrested a few days ago."

"This." Qi was in a dilemma, and Lord Yang specially ordered that no one should be allowed to see him.

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What, no?" ”

The head of Qi Prison secretly complained bitterly, and he didn't dare to disobey Lord Yang's orders, but the one in front of him was holding the token of King Zhao. Who is King Zhao, that is the third son of His Majesty today, who is in charge of the Beizhen Mansion, and he can't afford to provoke him.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to meet, and I won't embarrass you." Chen Yuan's envy is both.

Qi Prison struggled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Your Excellency, please come with me." Then he commanded Wang Er to watch and not allow others to come near.

When it came to Dong Ming's condition, he was held alone, and he had been tortured into an inhuman form. His hair was scattered, his prison clothes were stained with blood, and there was hardly a single piece of flesh on his legs and hands.

Dong Mingquan lay in the corner, silent, probably because he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain, but his body trembled after a while.

"Brother Dong, Dong-Second Brother Dong." In order to shorten the distance and hide his purpose, Chen Yuan decided to call a name.

Dong Mingquan was shouted, thinking that he was going to be interrogated again, so he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, don't fight, don't-don't fight, I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything." "This swinger brother has never suffered like this in his life.

"Second Brother Dong, it's me, I'm Chen Yuan."

Dong Ming's condition took half a day to recover, and in the past few days, he has been interrogated by either senior officials or cell bosses, as well as fierce and vicious jailers. When he finally saw a stranger, he muttered, "Chen Yuan, I don't know anything......"

suddenly remembered and said, "Are you the Chen Yuan who has a marriage contract with my sister?" ”

"It's me."

Dong Mingquan became excited, climbed to the side of the prison door, grabbed the pillar, and said miserably: "What about my father, what about my mother, why don't they come to see me, I will be beaten to death by them, woo, I will be beaten to death." ”

Chen Yuan was moved and comforted: "You committed the capital crime of murder, and your uncle and aunt ran around and couldn't come in." ”

Yes, it was a capital crime of murder, Dong Ming's eyes dimmed, and suddenly a glimmer of hope was ignited, like grasping a life-saving straw: "Chen Yuan, no, brother-in-law, help me, you must save me, my father and mother can't get in, you can come, you must have a way, right?" ”

This person really hit the snake with the stick, and even his brother-in-law shouted, Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, squatted down, and said, "You first tell me about the killing that day." ”

"Yes, that day, Li Bin invited me to the first floor, he wanted to be my brother-in-law, no, uh, that bastard, and then we were on the street, and we ran into that damn one, he didn't have long eyes, his eyes were blood-red, his lips were purple, he was crazy, and he attacked Li Bin's bastard's three family members, and that person wanted to kill someone, so I picked up something and hit him."

"But how did I know I was holding a sword, and he didn't hide." Dong Ming's eyes were full of regret and fear.

"Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, I don't even dare to kill chickens, I really didn't kill people on purpose."

"You mean, the man's eyes are blood-red and his lips are purple?"

"Yes, at that moment, I won't forget it."

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Okay." He stood up, with a plan in mind.

Dong Mingquan shouted: "Brother-in-law, you must save me." ”

Chen Yuan ignored him, and whispered to the head of the cell: "My lord, my second brother Dong is dying, please take care of it, I am grateful." ”

Qi Jiaotou nodded and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”

————

Let's say that Li San flew to the Nanjing Mansion official office, and he should have gotten off work at this time. However, there was a room in the official office with the lights on, and Yang Tuiguan and Master Li stood and waited.

Sitting at the top was a young man in a big red robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking at the landscape paintings on the table, admiring it.

"Bring the lamp." The young man thought the lights were too dim.

Yang Shi hurriedly picked up the fold and lit the bronze candlestick to illuminate the young man.

The young man grabbed the candlestick with his right hand and approached the landscape painting, and slowly rubbed it with his left hand.

"Biyan and I'm steep, wonderful!" The young man said a few wonderful things, and said happily, "Lord Yang, this is "Xiaoxiang Tu", the fifth generation of Dong Yuan, more than 500 years, because of the war, it has long been lost, and it is priceless." ”

"Wechen also got it by accident, but Wechen is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, because he knows that His Royal Highness Taisun is good at this way, and the minister specially presents it." Yang Shi lowered his head and listened to his ears.

It turned out that this young man was Zhu Gaochi's eldest son, Zhu Zhanji.

This Zhu Zhanji is not simple, on the night of Zhu Zhanji's birth, his imperial grandfather Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at the time, once had a dream, he dreamed that his father Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a big gui, in ancient times, Dagui symbolized power, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Dagui, and said to him: "The grandson of the heirloom will be prosperous forever." After Zhu Di woke up, he was recalling the scene in his dream and felt very auspicious. Suddenly, someone reported that his grandson Zhu Zhanji was born. Zhu Di immediately realized that the scene in the dream was reflected in his grandson.

When Zhu Yunwen wantonly cut the feudal domain, Zhu Di pretended to be crazy and stupid, and even slept in a pigsty and ate pig food, it was only when he saw Zhu Zhanji that he made up his mind to make up his mind.

People say that Zhu Gaoxu is like Zhu Di, but Zhu Di doesn't admit it, he admits that the one who is most like himself is Zhu Zhanji. In the ninth year of Yongle, he was canonized as the emperor's grandson and began to be crowned From this moment on, whether it was a tour of Beijing or a conquest of Mongolia, Zhu Zhanji followed Ming Chengzu. Ming Chengzu once ordered Hu Guang and others to go to the Mobei Army to give a lecture on scripture and history for his grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Yang Shi's flattering attitude made Li Shimian very unhappy, and said: "Your Highness's precious body, how can you stay in the public gate for a long time, although the things are good, but you can lose your mind, Your Highness thinks twice." ”

Yang Shi was displeased when he heard this, I will curry favor with His Royal Highness Taisun, you can say that the plaything is demoralized, it is too much of a slap in the face.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't show anything, so he listened to the next person's report.

Li San only recognized Lord Yang and Lord Li, and reported: "My lord, my lord, it's not good." ”

Yang Shi said: "What's not good, His Royal Highness Taisun is here, Hugh is talking nonsense." ”

His Royal Highness Taisun, this is His Majesty the future Emperor in the future, Li San fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Li San knelt on the ground, his head was confused, excited and nervous, and he trembled: "Someone just took King Zhao's token and entered the Nanjing Prison. ”

Yang Shi and Li Shimian's faces changed, and Jin Yiwei still came to interfere.

Zhu Zhanji put down the candlestick and played with the taste: "Now, it's getting more and more fun." ”
