Chapter 452: Heavy Minister
"And what do you plan to do?" Since Zhu Zhizhi had already understood the meaning of the fifth line, he naturally wanted to know what he was going to do next.
The fifth line suddenly stopped and thought about it, and then asked Zhu Zhizhi, "Have you ever been to Dongchang Private Prison?" ”
"None? What are I going to do in that place when I have nothing to do? Zhu Zhizhi shook his head and said.
"Do you have a way to get me in, then?" The fifth line then asked.
"This, I'm afraid it's really not good, even my imperial brother doesn't have the right to go directly to Dongchang Private Prison to pick up people. Unless it is the emperor's holy decree, we can go in and have a look. Zhu Zhizhi shook his head and said.
The fifth line said that he immediately knew how powerful Dongchang was. Not only does it have the power to arrest the ministers of the imperial court, but it also has a private prison in the imperial city, which does not allow outsiders to enter at all, and naturally no one knows what is going on inside.
"But if the emperor had made an order, then Shi Zhong would have known about it a long time ago, and he would definitely make corresponding arrangements to transfer the people we wanted to see to other places. Then it would be meaningless for us to go in with the Divine Decree. The fifth line thought of this verse, and suddenly found that it was still a little tricky, and there was nothing to do for a while.
"Hey! I know who has a way! Zhu Zhizhi also knew that it was inappropriate to let the emperor make an order, so she thought about it carefully, and really made her think of someone who could help them.
"Who?" The fifth line asked with a smile on his face.
"Jinyi Wei commands Wang Jinghao." Zhu Zhizhi replied.
"Does he really have a way?" The fifth line didn't seem to believe what Zhizhi said, because he knew that Xiao Wangye couldn't do anything, and Wang Jinghao's power would never be greater than that of Xiao Wangye, so what could he do?
"My imperial brother has no choice, mainly because he has never dealt directly with Dongchang, and secondly, he and Gonggong Shi have always been incompatible. If the royal brother came to arrange this, it was actually not impossible. But in this case, Gonggong Shi will definitely be very nervous, even more than the emperor's holy decree. Among the palaces, the people who deal with Dongchang the most are Jinyiwei. Although Dongchang can arrest people at will, many prisoners must be handed over to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town for trial. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have a reciprocal relationship, and they are both directly ordered by the emperor, so Lord Wang has the right to directly interrogate prisoners, and there is no need to go through Shi Zhong's consent at all. And because they were both ordered by my emperor's brother, Shi Zhong didn't dare to ask my emperor's brother for verification. Therefore, it is up to him to arrange this matter, which is naturally unknown to God and ghosts. Zhu Zhizhi explained.
"So the relationship is so complicated? If it is as you said, then in the capital, in addition to the people in Dongchang, only Jinyiwei can go to Dongchang to interrogate prisoners? The fifth line had obviously understood what Zhu Zhizhi meant.
"That's right. Therefore, we can go to Commander Wang's envoy for help, see when he will go to the East Factory to pick up the prisoners, and then mix us in the Jinyi Guard, and then we can swagger in. Zhu Zhizhi further explained.
"This is indeed a good idea, then let's go to Lord Wang for help." The fifth line also immediately agreed.
The fifth line has a good relationship with Zhu Zhizhi and Wang Jinghao, and Wang Jinghao is very loyal to the emperor, so he will never leak this matter. Since the two of them thought of him, they naturally planned to go to him immediately.
Zhu Zhizhi's news in the palace is quite well-informed, but after inquiring, he learned that Wang Jinghao had just gone to the Jinluan Palace to see the emperor.
Zhu Zhizhi didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, and went straight to the direction of the Jinluan Hall with the fifth line. Of course, she didn't want to go straight to the palace hall, but just planned to wait for him outside the palace.
The two were lucky, they just walked outside the palace, but Wang Jinghao happened to come out, but it happened to meet face-to-face.
"Great, Lord Wang, we're looking for you! I don't want to hit the nail on the head. Zhu Zhizhi liked to say.
"Princess, the fifth young man, are you looking for me? What's the matter? Wang Jinghao asked.
Zhu Zhizhi and the fifth line now know that Dongchang has a lot of eyeliner in the palace, so they don't dare to speak lightly.
Wang Jinghao saw that the two of them were very mysterious, and immediately guessed that there must be something important, so he said lightly: "Then go back to me first, and then it's not too late to talk carefully." ”
So they didn't say anything all the way, and the three of them went straight back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen North Town Fusi, and then Wang Jinghao asked: "Dare to ask the princess and the fifth young man, why are you looking for me?" It must be something to discuss! ”
"Huh! Lord Wang guessed correctly, we were originally going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! To tell the truth, we want to sneak into the private prison of Dongchang to find something, but we don't want the people of Dongchang to find out, the princess said that only Lord Wang can do this, so we are here to trouble the adult, and please ask the adult to help. The fifth line says directly.
Wang Jinghao thought about it, but he didn't speak immediately, obviously a little hesitant. Of course, Wang Jinghao also knew that the fifth line was doing things for King Xiao, but King Xiao was already in conflict with Shi Zhong now, and if he didn't handle this matter well, he would most likely fall into the whirlpool of the struggle between the two families.
"Commander Wang, this matter should not be difficult for you! Although Dongchang can arrest people into their private prisons at will, Lord Wang also has the right to interrogate and supervise, as long as Lord Wang disguises us as Jinyi Guards at that time, it is not difficult to sneak in. Zhu Zhizhi saw that Wang Jinghao was still hesitating, so he pointed out the matter and said.
"It's not that hard. But can the princess tell the lowly what you want to do in there? The princess should also know that although this matter is not difficult to do, the relationship is not trivial, if you accidentally stab the emperor's ear, I am afraid that I will 'not be able to finish eating and walking'! Wang Jinghao obviously still has some scruples.
Zhu Zhizhi was obviously still thinking about it, but the fifth line had already taken the lead and directly told him about the matter. Because the fifth line and Wang Jinghao have known each other for a short time, he can see that among the two factions that are seriously divided in the imperial court, Wang Jinghao is still inclined to King Xiao's side.
"So that's the case, you want to go in and find General Song Jin! However, General Song was an important minister of the imperial court, and since he was escorted back to the capital, he should meet the emperor first. Could Shi Zhong be so bold as to dare to hide General Song in Dongchang without letting him meet the emperor? Wang Jinghao said with deep skepticism.
"The fifth line has already gone to see Dongchang Fan Gonggong just now, and the fifth line is sure that Fan Gonggong definitely did not tell the truth to the emperor and Xiao Wang Ye in this matter, so the fifth line also began to doubt. Dongchang hid General Song Jin in a private prison without knowing or knowing, and it was difficult for the emperor and King Xiao to find out, and it was not impossible. The fifth line analyzed.
"Commander Wang, you tell me first, will you go to Dongchang to pick up people recently? If you don't go at all lately, then even if you want to help, you can't do anything. Zhu Zhizhi was very happy, and continued to ask.
"Recently, there is indeed an important person who wants to be transferred from Dongchang Prison to Imperial Prison again. If you really want to go in, then come to me tomorrow and then come in with me to pick up someone. But remember, no matter what you're doing inside, don't let anyone from the East Factory find out. Wang Jinghao's words obviously didn't say anything, that is, let them not affect themselves. The fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi are both very smart, and they can naturally hear the hidden meaning in these words.
"What important person does you want Lord Wang to come out in person?" Zhu Zhizhi knew that if Jinyiwei wanted to interrogate a prisoner, he usually didn't need Wang Jinghao to go out in person. If he were going to raise people himself, the prisoner would have to be a real big man.
"The third rank of the imperial court, Han Xiaozhong, the left attendant of the ministry, do you think you are a big man?" Wang Jinghao asked rhetorically.
You must know that Wang Jinghao, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is only the third grade, and the prisoner is also a member of the third grade, so he really has to go out in person to be able to reach the level.
"Lord Han, the servant of the ministry, what's wrong with him? When was he arrested by Dongchang? What crime was committed? Zhu Zhizhi was obviously very surprised when she heard that Han Xiaozhong was arrested, and looking at her appearance, she didn't know about it at all.
"What sin? What is the sin? Hehe! Lord Han just participated in a book of Dongchang, and those officials who secretly colluded with Dongchang were suddenly arrested by Dongchang last night, and Gonggong Shi retorted that he was corrupt and bribed, and formed a party for personal gain. What's even more unexpected is that Gonggong Shi can still come up with a large number of human and physical evidence. This surprised the emperor and Prince Xiao, but it was not easy to help Lord Han speak for a while. Therefore, the emperor had to ask us Jinyiwei to intervene in this matter in order to clarify the matter as soon as possible. If the people from Dongchang are allowed to come, then Lord Han will really die. When Wang Jinghao said this, he seemed to be holding grievances for Lord Han in his heart.
"Lord Han has always been an honest official, how can anyone testify against him?" Zhu Zhizhi was also very puzzled.
"But there are all the human and material evidence, and even the emperor can't do anything? For now, the plan is to bring up Lord Han first, and then think about it in the long run, as long as you find out what is going on with those people and physical evidence, you will definitely be able to return Lord Han's innocence. If Lord Han was really wronged, presumably the emperor and the prince would definitely do their best to protect him. Wang Jinghao continued.
"Needless to say, it must be those eunuchs who are excluding dissidents. Among today's ministers, there are few people who dare to go against Dongchang, only Lord Han still dares to speak out. Zhu Zhizhi was also very unhappy.
"It's too early to make a conclusion, let's wait until I see Lord Han tomorrow!" Wang Jinghao's tone was slightly helpless.
"Then when will you go to Dongchang tomorrow to pick up people?" The fifth line asked.
"Afternoon!" Wang Jinghao replied.
"Shi Zhong dared to arrest the courtiers without authorization, so it would not be a big deal for him to hide General Song in a private prison. Okay, we'll come over tomorrow at noon. The fifth line thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here tomorrow." Wang Jinghao also agreed.
