Ling Zhiqiao blushed and stammered, "I didn't think so, it's obscene." Without looking back, she went out.

Twilight Yunhan followed closely behind, and he said with a smile: "I'm kidding you, Ling Zhiqiao, you dare to scold the current second prince for being obscene, you are getting bolder and bolder!" ”

The tighter he chased Ling Zhiqiao, the faster he walked, until he saw Song Siyan who had just dodged, Ling Zhiqiao stopped, and turned around and grimaced at Du Yunhan, Song Siyan was originally here to find Du Yunhan, and when he saw this situation, he also hurriedly reported: "Second Highness, Han Guards said that His Majesty the Emperor has something important, let you go, the sooner the better." ”

Twilight frowned, "Didn't you say anything?" ”

Song Siyan shook his head and said, "Guard Han didn't say it, when I came out just now, I happened to meet Guard Han coming in to look for him, so I quickly turned around and came back to report, he should still be guarding the door!" ”

"You don't want to go soon, there must be something important, anyway, today's dark passage will not be dug for the time being, after a while, Dahan and Erhan will finish transporting the soil, and there will be nothing to do, this is this girl, Second Highness, you should go quickly!"

Twilight Yunhan could only rest assured and said reluctantly: "Then the king will go to his father first to take a look, and then come back to settle accounts with you." ”

Ling Zhiqiao was stupid, pretended not to hear, and saluted to Duyun Han and said, "Second Highness, go slowly, don't send it." ”

After hearing this, Song Siyan hurriedly said in a louder voice: "Second Highness, the minister will send you for Miss Ling." She knew that Du Yunhan would not blame Ling Zhiqiao, but Song Siyan was Ling Zhiqiao's teacher after all, and the students were neglected, and she, a female official who specialized in the study of the four virtues of the female emperor, could not be neglected in the slightest.

Du Yunhan said to Song Siyan: "Song Female Official, don't send it, let's teach this girl well for this king!" After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the brocade robe on his body, it was the waterdrop idea that was thrown by her when he wiped Ling Zhiqiao's face, Du Yunhan sighed, he admitted that he had nothing to do about dealing with Ling Zhiqiao, he shook the brocade robe, and then walked towards the door of the chanting hall.

Han Li saw Du Yunhan come out, and said with a solemn expression: "Second Highness, the deacon and eunuch have a message, Your Majesty has an urgent matter, you should hurry up." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Twilight Yunhan's body and asked, "Do you want to change your clothes and go again?" ”

Twilight Yunhan waved his hand and said, "It's just a water stain, it'll dry in a while, let's go!" ”

Soon they arrived, the deacon and eunuch had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and finally saw the figure of the second prince before he was a little relieved, he stepped forward and said, "Second Highness, you are here, something is wrong?" ”

Twilight Yunhan looked at the deacon eunuch who was the most quiet on weekdays, and his face was a little panicked, he had a premonition that it must not be a trivial matter, he walked quickly towards the hall, and asked, "What else can be a big deal?" ”

The deacon eunuch said in a low voice: "Xie An, the imperial historian of the Criminal Department, has come to ask for the guilt!" ”

"Who?" Twilight stopped to make sure.

"The Imperial History of the Criminal Department Xie An!" The deacon and eunuch repeated it again, and Twilight Yunhan turned his head and looked at Han Li, and they realized at the same time that this matter must have something to do with Nangong Ying.

Entering the hall, sure enough, Xie An, the Imperial Shi of the Criminal Department, knelt on the ground, and His Majesty the Emperor was pacing back and forth in front of him with a blushing face.

Twilight Yunhan stepped forward and said, "Father, I don't know when to call my sons to come?" ”

"Humph! Just ask him, the monster on death row killed him. "After the emperor finished speaking, he snorted and walked back and forth faster."

Before entering the hall, Twilight Yunhan expected that maybe Nangong Ying was rescued from the criminal department, or it could be said that he was let go, but he didn't expect Nangong Ying to die!

Twilight Yunhan asked sharply: "Lord Xie, how could you let him die, there is no word from you in the prison of the Criminal Department, but you will easily let any prisoner die, is it that the name given to Lord Xie by the outside world is all nonsense." ”

Xie An hurriedly replied: "Second Highness is raising the minister, and the minister also wanted him to confess, so he moved some punishments, that is, the punishment was heavier than the last time His Royal Highness saw it, but the person was not dead at that time, so the jailer didn't care, but I didn't expect that the next day, when he went in to feed him, he smelled a foul smell, and then found that the person's body and face were already crawling with maggots, and he had been dead for a long time." ”

"And what about the corpses now?" Twilight asked.

Xie An continued to humbly replied: "Because it is so stinky, the minister originally wanted to freeze the corpse so as to leave a evidence, but after the iron chain on his body was removed, the skin and flesh also fell off, and I don't know what the reason is, as if the body has long been broken, and it is no longer human, so the minister has no choice but to order the jailer to clean it up and burn it, because even if it is buried, it is extremely stinky." ”

"If Your Royal Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the death row of the Criminal Department now, the stench is already smoky."

Twilight looked at Xie An, kneeling on the ground and trembling like chaff, he understood in his heart that Nangong Ying was not at all, this Xie An dared to lie to his face, there must be someone behind him, he looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and asked: "Father, since the person is dead and there is no corpse, it must be Lord Xie's dereliction of duty, how to deal with it, and ask my father to decide." ”

After hearing this, Xie An immediately kowtowed like a chicken and said: "Your Majesty spares your life, but the minister was ordered to punish that person, Second Highness, didn't you also see it, what was the degree of punishment used by the minister that day, and the minister thought that he would not be able to do it a long time ago, isn't this punishment also agreed to by His Royal Highness?" ”

Twilight Yunhan was amused in his heart, and he held back his anger and asked Xie An, "Lord Xie means that his death has nothing to do with you, but with His Highness?" ”

"Don't dare!" Xie An stopped talking after saying three words, and Twilight Yunhan really wanted to step forward and kick him, which understood that this was a smear in his face.

Without waiting for Du Yunhan to speak again, the little eunuch outside the hall came in to report, and Prime Minister Jiang Qingyun came to ask for a meeting.

It's really urgent. Twilight Yunhan sneered in his heart, he looked at His Majesty the Emperor, who had not spoken, and said, "Father, do you think you should deal with Lord Xie first, or invite Prime Minister Jiang Cheng in first?" ”

Knowing that a son is better than a father, of course this emperor still believes in his son, and he also understands the meaning of Du Yunhan's question, he said in a low voice: "Then invite Prime Minister Jiang Cheng in!" ”

Xie An lay on the ground, his face facing the ground was full of joy, it seemed that Prime Minister Jiang Cheng really didn't lie to him, and he came in time.

When Jiang Qingyun came in, he saw that Du Yunhan was also there, and a sly smile appeared on his scheming face, and he said to Du Yunhan: "I didn't expect the Second Highness to be there." ”

Twilight Yunhan thought to himself, of course you old thing knew that I was here, so he just nodded his head, so Jiang Qingyun hurriedly saluted His Majesty the Emperor and said, "The old minister pays a visit to Your Majesty, but I didn't know that His Royal Highness and Lord Xie were also there, so I was so disturbed!" ”

"It's okay, Prime Minister, is there something to find me at this time? His Majesty the Emperor knowingly advised.

Jiang Qingyun said to His Majesty the Emperor with a smile: "A few days ago, the old minister sent a dog to the prison of the Criminal Department to inquire about the interrogation of the death row prisoner? My son came back and said that the scene of the interrogation was horrifying, but the man did not say who he was. So Lao Chen wants to ask His Majesty today, who is that person? It's okay to return the queen's innocence. ”

The old emperor's face was gloomy and he said: "The prime minister came at the right time, it seems that my queen can rest assured, that fake governor who doesn't know if it's Nangong Ying has been killed by Lord Xie!" ”

"What, dead?" Jiang Qingyun asked pretending to be very surprised.

Xie An knelt on the ground and hurriedly answered: "Prime Minister Jiang, you can help Weichen intercede!" Weichen just used a little lynching, and it was also done by His Royal Highness the Second Highness, and no one thought that he would die like that. ”

Jiang Qingyun reprimanded: "Lord Xie, what are you talking about, the prisoner died in the prison of your criminal department, why did you rely on the Second Highness, aren't you uncomfortable in front of His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Xie An hurriedly threw his knees on the ground, rubbed to Jiang Qingyun's feet, grabbed Jiang Qingyun's thighs with both hands, and pleaded bitterly: "Please also ask the Prime Minister to help Weichen intercede, Weichen is not saying that it is on the Second Highness, what Weichen said is true, I just ask Prime Minister to say a few good words for the minister in front of His Majesty the Emperor, spare my life and atone for my sins!" ”

"When all men are dead, what sin do you have to atone for!" Jiang Qingyun deliberately shook his legs, pretending to deliberately shake Xie Andao away.

"That Weichen is voluntarily punished, you can punish it however you want, only Your Majesty will spare my life." Xie An, who was thrown away by Jiang Qingyun, hurriedly kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor.

This double reed performance seems to be wonderful, even the deacon eunuch next to His Majesty the Emperor can see it clearly, he glanced at His Majesty the Emperor next to him with his eyes, this emperor Lao Er sat on the dragon chair with squinted eyes, watching Xie An perform below, in fact, how could he have no score in his heart.

The deacon and eunuch stepped forward and said, "Lord Xie, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to be so noisy in this hall!" Didn't Your Majesty say what to do with you? Master Xie, please don't be impatient. ”

Of course, Xie An understood the weight of the deacon's eunuch's words, and the deacon eunuch beside His Majesty the Emperor was of course the most aware of the emperor's temperament, so he immediately stopped.

Emperor Lao'er, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth at this time, and he said expressionlessly: "Xie An, Lord Xie, have you cried enough?" ”

Xie An didn't dare to say again: "Your Majesty, the minister lost his temper just now, and the minister is guilty." ”

"Prime Minister Jiang, since he asked you to intercede for him, do you have anything to say?" The emperor asked Jiang Qingyun.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, since the person is dead, Lord Xie didn't do it intentionally, why don't you spare him the death penalty Your Majesty, and replace it with another form of punishment?" Jiang Qingyun said as he observed the face of His Majesty the Emperor on the dragon chair.

The emperor snorted in his nose and said, "If you want to live to bear the death penalty, it's okay, Xie An, didn't you say that the death row is already a foul-smelling person?" Then I will punish you for living on death row for more than a month, if you can hold on and still live, then you will still be the imperial history of the criminal department after you come out, if you can't stand it, then it's no wonder I can't stand it. ”

Xie An sat on the ground after hearing this, and thought stupidly: "It's better to kill me!" On the death row of Guan Nangong Ying, he asked the guards to pick up more than ten loads, all kinds of human dung and animal dung, mixed together and soaked for several days, until it was so stinky that he vomited when he went in, and then he pretended to enter the palace to ask for guilt.

Jiang Qingyun looked at Xie An, who was sitting on the ground, stepped forward and kicked him with his foot, and said, "Lord Xie, don't thank Lord Longen soon, if you come out after living for a month, you will still be the imperial history of the Criminal Department." ”

Xie An scolded in his heart, and the relationship is not for you to live! He looked embarrassed and pleaded: "Your Majesty, can't you change the way of punishment?" The prison stinks so that no one can hold on. ”

"Second Highness, Lord Xie asked for a different way, do you have any other way?" His Majesty the Emperor asked Twilight Cloud to say cold.

Twilight Yunhan extracted one from the countless good ideas in his heart, and said: "Since Lord Xie is unwilling to stay on death row, it is better to get the same paragraph as the dead man with a bad face, and it is also good to realize that you can use torture tools in the Criminal Department in the future, as soon as Lord Xie appears, he will definitely be able to scare those prisoners into incontinence, and immediately confess." ”

"I wonder what Lord Xie thinks of His Highness's idea?"

After hearing this, Xie An now has a feeling that he only wants to die quickly, and he said as if he was about to cry: "Second Highness, then you might as well kill me directly, it's a pleasure." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was very happy and said: "I think this method is good, and it is not impossible to experience it, Xie An, do you want to experience it." ”

Xie An kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you can spare the minister!" The minister went to the death row of the Criminal Department for a month, but.... Your Majesty, don't forget, when the time comes, you will let the ministers out! ”

"Why, now I think it's better to be the punishment I proposed! Then hurry up! From today onwards, deacons and eunuchs, you will help me calculate this day, but don't be mistaken. ”

"The slave obeys the order, and must not forget."
