The Zhenguo Mansion was very quiet, and after Cheng Yuan got out of the carriage, he saw An Cheng and Xianning standing in the courtyard with people normally, with a bunch of maids and guards behind them.

An Cheng asked softly, "What did the father say?" ”

"Your Majesty has ordered me to try this case."

"Great, the wicked have evil retribution." Xianning said as he stood behind him.

Cheng Yuan touched Xianning's face and said, "Your Highness arranged a room for Miss Wei and them, I have something to tell your sister." ”

"Okay, my sister prepared the meal. You go to eat first, Bengong ordered someone to go to the kitchen to arrange meals and Miss Wei. ”

Cheng Yuan nodded, went over and took Zhu Zhizhen's hand and said, "Thanks to His Highness, it's just that the kid was shot and killed by Xu Sheng." By the way, Your Majesty mentioned that you are pregnant again today, what can I do? ”

"Let's eat first, Zhengqing can't wait."

"He hasn't slept yet? Good. ”

But when Cheng Yuan went in, he found that the stewed chicken had lost two legs, and when he looked again, it turned out that Cheng Zhengqing, the rabbit cub, had eaten it, and was lying on the table and sleeping, drooling.

"Ahem." Cheng Yuan motioned to the nurse to take the goods away quickly, sat down and drank two sips of fruit wine, and said to Zhu Zhizhen: "Your Highness, let Miss Wei live in the mansion first, don't you mind, she and I are not as His Royal Highness Xianning thought." ”

Zhu Zhizhen looked at Cheng Yuan: "There are a lot of rooms, of course I don't mind, this palace actually doesn't think about you and Miss Wei in that direction." ”

"Why?"

"How can the pleasing look and eyes of the heart be hidden, but you have never taken the initiative to say that you like and admire this palace, I don't know who to leave it to say."

Cheng Yuan's heart leaked half a beat, and he hurriedly drank a few sips of wine to suppress his shock, he wanted to admit to Zhu Zhizhen and Zhu Zhiming many times that he really liked Xu Miaojin, but he didn't say it many times.

On the second day, Zhu Gaochi came, and heard that Xu Sheng, the imperial historian, was imprisoned last night.

Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "The dignified imperial history, even his own children are not spared, the methods are vicious and make people look sideways, if you don't cut him, heaven will not tolerate it." ”

Zhu Gaochi was silent, Xu Sheng was Chen Ying and the third and second people, Cheng Yuan and himself didn't know when they were already on the same line as Zhu Gaochi, but I was afraid that Zhu Di would not be completely towards Cheng Yuan in terms of human affection now.

After lunch, Cheng Yuan took Zhu Gaochi to the prison where Xu Sheng was arrested, interrogating the man in black who assassinated him and whether he had any accomplices.

Cheng Yuan suspected that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, might know about Xu Sheng, and he also wanted to know who always asked Xu Sheng to scold him and scold him.

Seeing that there were so many prisoners in prison, Cheng Yuan thought that when Zhu Gaochi was doing his studies, he wanted the people in the world to be acquitted without thieves and bandits, but after all, the absence of evil in the world was an unattainable ideal, or a joke.

Human nature is the most complicated thing, Cheng Yuan followed the jailer into the inner cell, leaving Zhu Gaochi to drink tea outside.

The pungent stench of the prison made Cheng Yuan only feel that the meat stinked and the water was rancid, but the miraculous thing was that Cheng Yuan was immune, but Shi Kai and Cao De retched directly.

Shi Kai looked at the jailer next to him who was careless, and only felt that these people were freaks, so he didn't vomit.

The jailer of Yingtian Prison said: "Grandpa Guo, if your two entourages go to Jinyiwei, I am afraid that they will be driven out long ago." ”

The cells on either side were full of glazed-eyed, motionless people, and a dozen people huddled into one cell, sitting on straw and wearing their hair scattered.

"That only shows that the two of them still have a conscience!"

Walking to the innermost, Xu Sheng was imprisoned here.

This cell is probably in the best condition, and Xu Sheng is only six people, so it is a dormitory room.

The jailer flattered: "Grandpa Guo, do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea, and the little one will get you a few drinks and food, and judge it slowly?" ”

Cheng Yuan turned his head, and Cao De took out the ingot silver from his arms and threw it to the jailer.

In this, no matter what, the benefits that should be given must be given, otherwise the rules will be broken, the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are no disciples when people are observed, Cheng Yuan understands this principle.

"You don't need to drink or eat, this prince will interrogate for a while."

Xu Sheng at this time has lost the vigor of mocking himself yesterday, let alone the righteousness of the imperial history, after seeing Cheng Yuan, he crawled over, squeezed his head on the railing and said: "Zhen Guogong, we are all people who work hard for the Zhu family, why bother."

Which man is not three wives and four concubines, even the prince of the country has not had a personal affair with the deputy envoy of Ouchi, I just did what a man should do! ”

Cheng Yuan squatted down, looked at Xu Sheng, and suddenly smiled: "You have a face at this time?" Don't discredit men, is there a man who kills his son without blinking, you are a brute.

Who wants God to help me and let you fall into my hands, and so quickly, life is just too many miracles and accidents. Spare you? I'm afraid that I'll be the one who will die in the future! ”

Xu Sheng's mouth squirmed, but he couldn't refute it.

Once Cheng Yuan falls into their hands, it must be ruined, and it is possible that his head is in a different place, and he will never be able to turn over, create public opinion, and make him unable to gain a foothold in Daming.

And there is an unpredictable factor, that is, Zhu Di suspects that he is rebelling against the prince.

Under the anger, what will Zhu Di do, the first emperor killed Ouyang Lun happened, everyone can think with their butts, when the time comes, Zhenguo Gong will fall, and a single kill will be a large area, and the prince will be isolated.

Cheng Yuan will definitely die.

"Xu Sheng, I came here today just to want to know one thing, who instructed you to harm me, and what is the identity of the man in black you hired?"

Xu Sheng lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"Isn't it Chen Ying?"

Xu Sheng still didn't speak.

The prisoners behind him were so frightened that they hugged their heads and either pretended to be asleep, indicating that they didn't know anything.

The atmosphere in the cell was depressing, the smell was unpleasant, Cheng Yuan didn't want to stay longer, and said coldly: "Xu Sheng, are you bent on death, you are still young, what a pity." ”

Shi Kai stood on the side and said: "Grandpa Guo is not telling lies again, as a chess piece, it is normal for people to be discarded for self-preservation." ”

Xu Sheng raised his head, and just when Cheng Yuan thought he was going to scold again, he haha: "The man in black is just an ordinary person, and there is nothing else to say, you have the ability to kill me." ”

"You're such a madman, let's go." Cheng Yuan stood up and said a little tired and helpless: "Wait for half a moon to be killed." ”

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth showed disdain, "Cheng Yuan, you are just a pawn of the prince!" ”

"Xu Sheng, the crown prince is the eldest son, and His Majesty is silent about some things, why do you still want to be a clown."

Walking out of the prison, Cheng Yuan looked at the sunshine outside, and said lightly: "I seem to have come out of hell, and I will behead Xu Sheng and my father again to detain him on that day." ”

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting in the back hall of Yingtianfu, saw Cheng Yuan coming and asked about the result, Cheng Yuan shook his head, Xu Sheng was already holding the mentality of death, and he didn't explain anything.

Zhu Gaochi said: "That's fine. ”

Cheng Yuan turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too merciful, I'll send you back to the palace." ”

Shi Kai was silent, a little melancholy, for a person like Xu Sheng, he was confident that Xu Sheng would speak, but unfortunately in Yingtian Prison, it was the imperial history, His Majesty personally judged, it was not good to do anything privately, and only with Xu Sheng's words, he couldn't do anything.

Even if you ask, most of the time it's just a wasted effort.
