Crossing the imperial mausoleum and entering the depths of Zhongshan Mountain, Chen Kan walked towards the position provided by Zhang Yong.

It's not a rush to go to the Treasure Money Bureau and the Ordnance Prison, it's only serious to go to Jinyi Prison to find out the news first.

Going up the mountain along a path, just halfway up the mountain, the guards beside Chen Kan became vigilant.

Chen Kan's face was also pale, and at this moment he had a feeling of being watched.

"Master Hou, there is a secret whistle, and there is more than one place."

Li Si rubbed his hands on the hilt of the knife, and leaned against Chen Kan's side without a trace.

"It's okay, that means we've found the right place, let's go!"

Chen Kan was not nervous, he didn't believe that these brocade guards dared to do anything to him.

After following the path unimpeded, at the end of the path, a huge cave came into view.

There is no sign on the cave, but the captain of the brocade clothes standing at the entrance of the cave indicates the belonging of the cave.

Chen Kanda stepped forward, and a hundred households dressed in flying fish suits stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, this is the important place of the Jinyi Guard's prison, if Lord Hou has nothing else to do, please leave quickly, don't make it difficult for me to wait." ”

Chen Kan came to the man with an expressionless face, looked at him condescendingly and asked, "Ben Hou came to see his teacher, don't you tell Ben Hou Ji Gang that Ben Hou was not allowed to visit." ”

As soon as Chen Kan said this, the hundred households suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on their faces.

Yes, Ji Gang has never given such an order, but Jinyiwei's edict that no visitors are almost a rule that everyone knows, although it is not explicitly stated, but no one will risk going deep into Jinyiwei to visit a death row inmate.

If he lets Chen Kan in today, he won't have to do it.

After a while, the hundred households shook their heads and gritted their teeth and said, "It is true that the commander has never given such an order, but he still can't let you in. ”

"Oh, Ben Hou knows."

Chen Kan nodded, and then beckoned behind him: "Attack!" ”

The three words suddenly made the faces of the hundred households gloomy.

"Master Hou, is this planning to completely tear his face with Jinyiwei?"

Chen Kan looked surprised and said, "Don't you know that Ben Hou set fire to Jinyiwei's edict yesterday?" ”

Hearing this, the hundred households suddenly showed a look of hatred on their faces: "So Hou Ye thinks that yesterday's burning of the edict in Jinyiwei was not enjoyable, and he came here today to suppress people?" ”

Chen Kan said with a smile: "You also said that Ben Hou is oppressive with power, so do you let it go?" ”

Baihu's expression changed a few times, and after a while, he raised his head and said coldly: "Today's matter, my family commander will ask Lord Hou for an explanation." ”

"Ben Hou is waiting for him!"

Chen Kan raised the whip in his hand, and then beat the horse and went straight to the cave.

The Jinyi Captain who stopped in front of the cave suddenly made a posture as if he was facing a great enemy, if it was facing others, they would never believe that anyone would dare to attack the Jinyi Guard's edict.

But if it is Chen Kan on the other side, then they can't help but be vigilant.

There is no way, although Chen Kan has been away from the Beijing Division for a long time, his reputation as a ruthless person not only did not weaken by half a point, but reached its peak after the news of leading two thousand people across the grassland for three thousand miles was transmitted back to the Beijing Division.

This is a ruthless man, and he is still a ruthless man who has won the trust and favor of His Majesty.

No matter how arrogant they are, they can't get rid of the words "Your Majesty's eagle dog" after all.

So they must operate according to His Majesty's will.

This is also the reason why Chen Kan and Ji Gang have torn their faces several times, but Ji Gang has never dared to make a move on Chen Kan.

There is a world of difference in their identities, one is the master, and the other is an eagle dog.

If it is someone else, even if it is a second- or third-grade member, Ji Gang will not have the slightest fear.

"Let him go."

When Chen Kan beat his horse and came to the bottom of the cave, the hundred households spoke.

And as soon as the hundred households spoke, a group of Jinyi lieutenants who blocked Chen Kan's way were full of humiliation.

But no matter how humiliating it was, they could only let it go.

"It would have been better if it had been done earlier."

Chen Kan chuckled, didn't get off the horse, and rode into the cave like this.

The cavity of the cave is so large that there is no end in sight, and the two sides of the cave are headlights fueled with fish oil, which illuminate the whole cave brightly.

Walking into the cavity, you will be flanked by artificially dug stone chambers, each of which houses an unkempt prisoner.

Chen Kan didn't look at these prisoners, most of them were officials, and many of them were wronged people.

But now Chen Kan has long lost the heart of the Holy Mother, on the contrary, he now thinks that since these people have stepped into the officialdom, they must have the consciousness to accept this result.

There have never been innocent people in officialdom, and everyone has a reason to die, including himself, including Fang Xiaoru, including Chen Qia, who was just rescued by him.

They're not dead now, it's not because they don't deserve to die, it's just that they're lucky and haven't been taken down yet, it's as simple as that.

The sound of Chen Kan's horses' hooves woke many people.

But most of these people just glanced at Chen Kan coldly, and then quietly lay back in place.

If Chen Kan was in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion at this moment, I am afraid that countless prisoners would have come forward to cry out for injustice.

But this is the Jinyi Guard's edict, so no one will do this kind of useless work.

Once here, there will only be two of their fates, either the official will be reinstated, or they will die in prison, and there will be no third possibility.

The cave was really long, so long that Chen Kan rode his horse for nearly a quarter of an hour before reaching the deepest part.

There is only one dimly lit stone chamber in the deepest part, but unlike the others, this one is excavated separately, unlike the other chambers, which are dug out and separated by logs.

The two brocade-clothed captains guarding the door of this stone room were stunned when they saw Chen Kan coming on horseback.

Looking at the colleagues who followed Chen Kan from a distance but didn't dare to step forward, they suddenly seemed to realize something, and their faces gradually distorted.

"Open the door!"

Chen Kan didn't talk too much nonsense, he had already come here, and he didn't have to be polite to the other party.

The two glanced at the hundred households who were far behind them, and the hundred households nodded slightly at the two of them, and then the two took out a huge key and inserted it into the stone door.

"Boom~"

The huge stone door was pushed to the sides with a deafening sound, and the whole view of the stone chamber came into Chen Kan's eyes.

The space is not large, about ten square meters, but there is a hole in the dome to draw sunlight and ventilation, and there is a drainage ditch in the ground that leads into a small hole.

A row of bookshelves full of books, a bucket, a small bed, a lamp.

Overall it's pretty clean.

Chen Kan walked into the stone room, and an old man on the bed with a cloak and a book in his hand sat up instantly.

"Teacher!"

Chen Kan shouted softly, he didn't expect such good luck, and he saw Fang Xiaoru in the first edict he came.

The old man on the bed didn't seem to have reacted yet, and his eyes were a little dazed.

After a while, Fang Xiaoru finally reacted and called out uncertainly: "Yuansheng? ”

Chen Kan stepped forward quickly: "Teacher, you have suffered. ”

Fang Xiaoru got out of bed with some excitement and greeted Chen Kan: "Yuansheng, why did you come back, didn't the teacher explain to you in the letter, don't come back to wade into this muddy water?" ”

Chen Kan smiled bitterly: "The teacher said it is easy, but now that the student has returned, is it difficult to leave in a gloomy way?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru didn't answer, but just sighed slightly.

Then he pulled out a small Maza from under the bed and said, "Sit down." ”

After Chen Kan sat down, Fang Xiaoru sorted out the books on the bed and put them back on the shelf, then sat on the bed and smiled bitterly at Chen Kan: "Daoyan, this old thing, it seems that the old man has confessed to him in vain." ”

Of course, Chen Kan knew what he said about the white confession, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's not about Master Daoyan, it's the students who returned to Beijing on their own initiative." ”

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "You have filial piety, but the old man is not so miserable that he wants to affect the students, you can be regarded as coming back in vain." ”

Chen Kan glanced at the decoration in the stone room and said with a smile: "That's right, teacher, you are comfortable in the edict prison, but it's a pity that my wife is alone at home and sighs all day long." ”

Hearing Chen Kan mention the Zheng family, Fang Xiaoru was silent for a while, and then asked, "When did you come back, and have you ever been to see your master and wife since you came back?" ”

Chen Kan knew that Fang Xiaoru was isolated from the world, and the important thing at the moment was to tell him the current news of Jingshi.

Then he nodded and said, "The student just came back yesterday and has moved back to live in the house, and the senior brother and the second senior brother are taking turns to take care of her old man." ”

Fang Xiaoru bowed slightly: "Just read it, just read it." ”

In response, Fang Xiaoru asked, "Since you are back, then Uncle Yuan him?" ”

"Lord Chen is now cultivating his body in the Hou Mansion, but the students have been rescued, but it is almost impossible to reinstate the official."

After listening to Chen Kan's answer, Fang Xiaoru was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "As long as a person lives, as for this official, don't do it." ”

Chen Kan groaned: "The student originally wanted to send Master Chen to Liaodong, but I don't know if the teacher has other arrangements?" ”

"Liaodong?"

"Is Liaodong's progress slow?"

Fang Xiaoru's brows furrowed, of course he knew about Chen Kan's plan, but out of trust in his students, he didn't pay too much attention to it except for the necessary push.

Chen Kan said: "The Japanese state intervened, they sent an elite Japanese to cooperate with the North Korean city to defend the city, the Jurchens were trapped outside the city, so that they were able to fight in the field, and they were caught blind as soon as they encountered the mountain city, especially those broken mountain cities in North Korea,"

"In this way, you are in charge, the old man is now unable to protect himself, where can he make any arrangements."

For Chen Kan, Fang Xiaoru has always trusted him unconditionally.

Chen Kan bowed his head slightly and didn't say more, and asked as soon as he spoke: "Teacher, what is the matter between you and Your Majesty, and why did you come to this point?" ”
