Chapter 206: Imprisonment
"What is there that you have to see me to say?"
When Zhu Di just heard Chen Yuan's request, he was angry, he was deceiving himself, he was deceiving himself, thinking that if he took a fancy to him, he could do whatever he wanted. waved his hand angrily and said: "Be proud of your achievements!" When you see me, do you want to ask for my forgiveness for several merits? The old trick played by the old minister. The public is the public, the private is the private, and his merits have been rewarded by my official position! deceived the king and tried to kill me, I can spare him, but the law of the country can't spare him! β
Zhu Di pointed at Yuan Bin: "You go to prison and interrogate well." β
Since Chen Yuan was imprisoned, it was a case that the emperor wanted to personally interrogate, and Jinyiwei had the right to bypass the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to interrogate alone, so Zhu Di commanded again: "Remember, let Geng Cairuo's situation be clear!" The three sons are looking for someone to intercede for him, heh, it's rare that they have the same opinion, and if they die, they will also let Chen Yuan die convincingly! β
"Obey the order!"
Jinyi Guardian Prison, a room, only a window with white paper, the light is relatively dim, but compared to those screaming prisons, it is more than 10,000 times better.
The sunlight was shining on the window, and through the window paper, the light was much softer. A simple wooden bed, with a futon on the bed, a square table not far from the bed, a chessboard on the square table, next to it there are several small dishes such as pig's head meat, braised beans, fried soybeans, etc., and a fine porcelain cup on one side, which contains clear wine.
There were one person sitting on each side of the table, and the one on the right was Zhu Gaosui, who lay on the chessboard and looked at it for a long time, and then excitedly picked up a pawn, pushed across the boundary river, and shouted: "Arch pawn!" General, Chen Yuan, I finally won this game! β
On the other side of the table, it was Chen Yuan, it turned out that King Zhao came to the prison to persuade Chen Yuan, when he was bored, the two played chess, King Zhao was an impatient, playing chess quickly, Chen Yuan deliberately took it slowly, the more anxious King Zhao was, the worse he played, after three games, he lost three games, and finally defeated Chen Yuan in the fourth game.
Next to King Zhao, Dong Mingjing stood beside him. He has calmed down a lot, although he knows that his brother-in-law is releasing water, he will not break it.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, picked up the elephant and jumped in the center, and said, "Go to the elephant!" "Speaking of which, King Zhao's chess skills are really too good, if he hadn't deliberately released water in this game, he would have killed him again.
"Yikes! I eat, see how you go? β
Chen Yuan thought for a while and sighed: "The prince's chess skills have improved, and the minister admits defeat!" β
"Huh?"
King Zhao was sure that he had heard correctly, he looked left and right, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Yo ho! This king finally won, haha, who said that this king will not play your literati things. Playing chess is not the same as fighting a marching army. β
This is where the cell boss lives in the Imperial Prison, no matter how you clean it up, there is always a bloody atmosphere, so Yuan Bin arranged Chen Yuan here, if someone comes to interrogate or inquire, then invite Chen Yuan back to the cell, and usually live here.
King Zhao took a sip of wine proudly, his eyelids twitched, he glanced at Chen Yuan, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Retreat, the situation on the chessboard just now is very unfavorable to you!" Oh, just like this elephant, there was no need to come up in the first place, you only need to move the general, you can break the siege, let the elephant stand in the way, it's just a blind toss! β
Chen Yuan was surprised, King Zhao said in a roundabout way, if he came to move by himself, putting aside the relationship, it would be difficult for him, and he actually played with his heart. Chen Yuan patted his head: "Thank you for reminding me, I forgot, I can take a few more steps!" β
King Zhao's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Retreat, don't grind, the old man told me, I don't really want to cure your crimes, it's just a woman, why don't you have a wife, you just say that you don't know, at most you will be demoted, why bother?" β
"Thank you for the prince's love, but I don't know what to do, I am in love, she only has me to rely on now, I can't give up her. Lord, can I meet her! β
"This is not good, I didn't torture you, I asked the old man for it, and the old man specially explained that she was imprisoned on the other side and couldn't let you meet! I said why don't you understand, when you see her, can you still get rid of it? β
Chen Yuan sighed, he still has a wife, and an old lady, Geng Cairuo, except for Zhuo Yuemei, who can't help, what else to rely on, she has been lonely all her life, how can she be ruthless and throw her into the abyss.
"Is she okay?" For a long time, Chen Yuandao.
King Zhao also sighed and said, "Don't worry, with me, no one dares to torture her." β
Chen Yuan hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." β
King Zhao sat up straight, looked at Chen Yuan, and suddenly said, "Chen Yuan, who are you loyal to?" Prince? It's still my second brother. β
Chen Yuan showed a puzzled look on his face, and asked rhetorically, "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" β
King Zhao said: "My eldest brother is the crown prince, and the eldest nephew is the emperor's grandson, everyone thinks that her succession is a matter of course, but when my second brother comes back, the prince is restricted everywhere, the second brother is proud, you sent Fan Zhong to his army, and the five armies are used by the second brother, even if the eldest brother succeeds to the throne, it will not be stable." β
Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, I really can't hide your eyes!" β
King Zhao's face turned cold: "What, there is nothing to say?" β
Chen Yuan's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Lord Wang, the tree is a big wind, you want to be quiet, the wind is not stopped!" Staying out of the matter, it is absolutely impossible for us, the struggle between the prince and the king of Han has entered the white heat, here and now, the prince still remembers what I said to you, at this moment the prince must do his best for the emperor. Their affairs, the prince should not be involved, His Majesty is the most taboo for brothers to kill each other. I sent Fan Zhong to the army, and at the critical moment, he can also be used by the prince. β
King Zhao gasped: "Oh? So, all these things are planning for me? β
Chen Yuan said: "Lord Wang, the wall has ears." If you say anything else, you can't say more, the prince doesn't have their conditions, and even the power of the imperial grandson can't be compared, so we can only wait for the opportunity. β
King Zhao sighed slowly and said, "That's right, Zhu Zhanji, that bastard, ruined my image in one fell swoop, and now that the second brother is back, like the sun is shining, is there any point in following me?" β
Chen Yuan said: "Lord Wang, the little wise man borrows things, the middle wise man borrows money, the great wise man borrows people, Lord Wang, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." β
King Zhao suddenly laughed, relieved the doubts in his heart, and got up and gave Xia Xun a long look.
At this time, Yuan Bin came in from outside and saluted King Zhao first.
"What does the old man say?"
"Back to the prince, Your Majesty sent his subordinates to carefully investigate the matter of Miss Geng, not to let go of a person, and not to wronged a good person."
King Zhao nodded: "My eldest nephew is very good enough, he even moved out and became a guilty body, and that Guo Kun is not dead, he fell into his hands and became a key witness." Keeping him at the beginning turned out to be a disaster. β
"Lord Wang, Miss Geng's charges have been confirmed, but Lord Chenβ"
"Ask for yourself." After King Zhao finished speaking, he walked out of the cell, he had already done his duty, and the rest depended on Chen Yuan's choice.
