"Are you sure there is no problem?" The fifth line asked.

"What do you say? Don't you know who I am? Zhu Zhizhi asked rhetorically.

"I know, the noble Princess Qingying!" This would have been a good remark, but from the fifth line, it always sounds a little awkward.

"Isn't that enough, but I grew up in the palace, can't this little thing be settled?" Zhu Zhizhi asked a little proudly.

"Then you grew up in the palace and have you ever been to the prison?" The fifth line also said in a rhetorical tone.

"Well, not really." Zhu Zhizhi replied embarrassedly.

"Huh! That's not the same as me. The fifth line sneered.

"How is that possible? Do you believe it or not, the people in the prison of the Criminal Department must know me? Zhu Zhizhi said with great certainty.

Regarding this, the fifth line also believes that naturally he is not arguing with her.

The fifth line entered the palace for the first time, but Zhu Zhizhi grew up in the palace, so this time the fifth line had to let her come in with her. Mu Xianxin originally wanted to follow, but because Mu Xianxin was talking nonsense in Yunxia Building, the fifth line of business was not done, but there was a lot of chaos. So the fifth line stopped letting her come, and also sued the little sister in front of the master. Regarding this point, the fifth line seems to be really too stingy, and Zhu Zhizhi gave him the nickname "stingy ghost", which is not wrong at all.

But then again, if you enter the palace to investigate the case, and the fifth line still has Mu Xianxin with her, and she still talks nonsense without concealment, it will really cause a big mess, and it is not just as simple as a fight.

Zhu Zhizhi is very familiar with the palace, although she has not been to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but she still knows where it is. The two came straight to the prison door, Zhu Zhizhi originally wanted to go in directly with the fifth line, but he didn't want to be stopped by the two officers and soldiers guarding the door, and he suddenly provoked the ridicule of the fifth line: "Hehe! Didn't you say they all knew you? ”

"Knowing is knowing, and you have to do things according to the rules!" Zhu Zhizhi argued.

After she finished speaking, she immediately took out a token, and then said to the jailer: "Ouchi is secretly investigating the case, and immediately let your biggest head come to see me." ”

Zhu Zhizhi said very vigorously, and seemed to feel very face-saving. The fifth line originally thought that she was holding a princess token, but when she looked at it, she realized that the words "Ouchi Secret Agent" were also written on it, which was actually the same as her own, and it was also a first-class gold medal for Ouchi Secret Agent.

When the jailer saw that it was Ouchi's secret agent, one of them immediately went in to inform the official.

"How could you have this?" The fifth line asked.

"Tokens! Little things, I can have as many as I want. Zhu Zhizhi said very generously.

Soon, a prison officer came out with the guard, and when the prison officer saw that it was Zhu Zhizhi, he only hurriedly knelt down and said: "Jin Qiu, the chief of the prison of the lower official punishment department, see Princess Qingying, and at the same time see the fifth young man." ”

"I'll just say it! Someone must know me. Zhu Zhizhi immediately showed off in front of the fifth line again, as if he wanted to regain the face he had just lost.

It's just that the fifth line ignored her at all, but asked in a very skeptical tone, "Lord Jin, do you know that we are coming?" ”

"Of course." Kim replied with a smile.

"How do you know?" The fifth line asked sharply.

"Huh! There was already an order from above, so that the lower officials could fully cooperate with the two, so the lower officials knew. Jin Qiu still said with a smile.

"So, everyone in the Criminal Department knows about it?" The fifth line's face was a little bad.

"Hey! Stingy, don't be so nervous. Master Kim, you take us in first. Zhu Zhizhi said very easily.

When Jin Qiu heard this, he immediately led the way in front, and the fifth line took the opportunity to whisper to Zhu Zhizhi: "Didn't the prince say, let us come in secret?" How come the people in the Criminal Department also know? ”

"We are going to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, and my imperial brother must notify Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department in advance! Therefore, it is normal for the people in the Criminal Department to know about this! This must have been Lord Zhao told Master Jin in advance, and the purpose was just to make it more convenient for us to come in. Zhu Zhizhi replied.

"Aren't you afraid that the people in the East Factory will find out?" The fifth line asked again.

"You probably don't know much about the things in the palace. Zhao Yanyong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always been at odds with Shi Zhong Shi Gonggong of Dongchang, and Shi Zhong has even always regarded Zhao Yanyong as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, but because the emperor and my imperial brother trust Lord Zhao very much, Shi Zhong has nothing to do with him for the time being. Since my imperial brother has greeted Zhao Daxiao, then Lord Zhao must know the severity and will definitely keep it secret for us. As long as this Jin master doesn't talk nonsense, there should be no problem. Zhu Zhizhi explained.

"Oh! I see. "The fifth line really doesn't understand the affairs of officialdom, and I don't have any interest in understanding it.

The chief of the prison of the Criminal Department is generally the rank of the sixth rank, although the fifth line is idle, but it is the fourth rank, and the squire of the Criminal Department is on an equal footing, and he can just be regarded as Jin Qiu's boss.

"Lord Jin, in the last month or two you have been here, have any prisoners from the East Factory sent you?" The fifth line asked, following Jin Qiu.

"Yes, but not much." Kim answered.

"Can you show us the list of these people?" The fifth line asks again.

"It's simple, I'll go and get the roster of all the prisoners right away, and show it to the princess and the fifth young man." As Jin Qiu spoke, he immediately entered the file room and carefully rummaged through the prisoner roster.

The fifth line originally wanted to follow up and take a look, but was stopped by Zhu Zhizhi and said: "The file room of the prison of the Criminal Department is an important place, so it's best not to break in." ”

The fifth line was originally a free and splendid person in the rivers and lakes, and he was restricted everywhere in the palace, which really made him very unhappy.

After a while, Jin Qiu had already found out the roster of prisoners, but it was two thick books. Jin Qiu took the two rosters and said, "This one is a prisoner sent by Dongchang, and the other one is a prisoner from our criminal department. ”

The fifth line and Zhizhi took the two rosters and looked at them, only to see that the roster of the prisoners in the Criminal Department was much thicker than the roster of the East Factory. Jin Qiu is a smart person, since he knows that the fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi are in to investigate the case, it must be to see the information of some recent criminals. Although the fifth line only said that he was looking for the prisoners sent by Dongchang, Jin Qiu also found all the rosters of the Criminal Department.

"Where are the prisoners sent in the last month or two?" Zhu Zhizhi asked.

"Oh! Back to the princess, there are dates on it, and the last one or two months are all in the back. Kim replied.

"It's best to find both. Look at your book, I'll look for this one. "It's really not surprising that the fifth line really plans to read both books.

However, the two of them looked through it carefully two or three times, and looked for the prisoners for most of the previous half a year, but there were no suspicious names at all.

"Forget it, it should be gone." The fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi returned in vain, so they returned the roster to Jin Qiu, leaving him still in the same place.

Jin Qiu moved quickly, and after quickly returning the roster back to the file room, he came out again and asked, "May I ask the princess and the fifth young man, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Lord Jin, can you gather all the prisoners in the last two months together and let us find them one by one. Perhaps, when they came in, they had already changed their names, and it is not impossible. The fifth line said suspiciously.

"It's possible." Zhu Zhizhi also agreed.

"It's not difficult, but it's just ......" Jin Qiu seemed a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Lord Kim. ”

"Back to the fifth young man, Lord Zhao has repeatedly instructed him to come in, and only the officials are allowed to know about the two coming in. If you gather all these prisoners, you will definitely have to make a lot of noise, and you are afraid that the news will leak out. If you leak the slightest bit of news, the lower officials can't afford to be guilty! Jin Qiu spoke out about his difficulties.

Hearing him say this, the fifth line became even more convinced that what Zhu Zhizhi said just now was true. Since Jin Qiu was so scared, most of them still knew the seriousness of the matter, so they naturally didn't dare to go out and talk nonsense.

"Then in the opinion of Lord Jin, what should I do?" Zhu Zhizhi seemed to have seen that Jin Qiu had another opinion, so he spoke.

"Back to the princess, the prisoners usually come out every few hours to ventilate. Later, the lower officials arranged for them to come out one after another to let off steam, and also invited the princess and the fifth young man and the lower officials to climb on the arrow tower, and only observe these prisoners from the heights to see if there are two people to be found, and they should be able to see clearly. In this way, there will not be much movement, and it will only be like a routine matter, and it will not arouse suspicion from others. Jin Qiu suggested to the fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi.

"It's still Lord Jin who thinks thoughtfully, then do it according to the adult's words, and ask the adult to arrange it quickly." The fifth line saw that Jin Qiu was reasonable, so he agreed very politely.

"Then please ask the princess and the fifth young man to wait here for a while, and the next official will arrange it immediately." Jin Qiu said that, and went to the prison to arrange, while the fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi could only wait here.

It didn't take long for Jin Qiu to return, and it seemed that his efficiency was not bad at all.

"Princess, the fifth young man, things have been arranged, and I ask you two to go to the arrow tower with the lower officials to see what is going on." Jin Qiu said politely.

The fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi didn't expect Jin Qiu to do things so quickly, so they only followed Jin Qiu in the direction of the arrow tower.

The place where the prison of the criminal department is released is like an urn city, surrounded by impenetrable walls, leaving only two gold and iron gates. There are arrow towers in the east, west, north and south of the wall, and above the arrow towers, there are many officers and soldiers and crossbowmen guarding them, as long as the entrance and exit gate is closed, even the birds can't fly out at all.

The fifth line of two people followed Jin Qiu to the top of the arrow tower, but there were officers and soldiers below who released the prisoners one by one month one after another. Jin Qiu pointed out to the fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi one by one upstairs, and explained which prisoners came when they came. The fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi searched one by one according to Jin Qiu's guidance, but they still didn't find any suspicious person, not even a similar person.

After all the prisoners were released, Zhu Zhizhi asked, "Lord Jin, is that all?" ”

"The prisoners who have come in in the last three months have all come out, and if there are still no two people to look for, they must not be here." Kim answered.

"Are there any important prisoners who have been held in solitary confinement but have not been released?" The fifth line asked.

"In the last three months, no repeat offenders have come in, and no one has been locked up." Kim answered.

"Oh! That's really gone. When the fifth line heard this, he and Zhu Zhizhi felt a little disappointed.
