Chapter 32: Is there a misunderstanding?

What will Jingzhao Mansion do with the big tree that suddenly grows, Zhong Yangming doesn't care, as long as this kind of thing is not seen with his own eyes, there can be 10,000 explanations.

Anyway, such a magical way of escaping from prison should not be reminiscent of Li Daniu.

Taking advantage of the fact that the riot was not yet big, Zhong Yangming took Liu Mincai and ran to the Qianjin Building.

Che Kai was still drinking with others in the hall, and he looked like he was already drunk. Although he had just voted for a Qing man, Che Kai said that he was the daughter of the savior, so it was naturally impossible to stay in Miss Liu's boudoir.

And thanks to the generosity of everyone to help him get through the difficulties, Che Kai and a group of drinkers drank and had fun in the hall, preparing to spend the night.

Zhong Yangming quietly went up to the second floor and came to Xu Wuyinding's box.

I saw that there were traces of knives and axes on the wooden door outside, and I also found that there was something wrong with this room, but I couldn't open the door that grew into a whole piece of wood anyway.

Interestingly, I knew that there was an accident on the second floor, but it seemed that nothing had happened, and I didn't even give the order to evict the guests.

I don't know what they think, in short, this is just cheaper than Zhong Yangming.

Others can't open the door, Zhong Yangming can restore the room to its original state with a light mold.

Three corpses that did not look like humans fell to the ground, and Zhong Yangming didn't bother to look at it, so he put Liu Mincai on the bed and tried his best to help him heal.

This time, after feeding a few spirit fruits, Liu Min finally regained his senses. When he saw Zhong Yangming, he said in surprise: "Sixth Highness? Is this a dream? ”

Zhong Yangming smiled: "Liu Shilang, this is not a dream, I just rescued you from the prison." ”

"This ......"

Liu Mincai tried to straighten up, found that he was indeed not in the prison, and saw the few pieces of tattered flesh and blood on the ground, and immediately understood that Zhong Yangming had used cruel means.

Liu Mincai sighed and said: "Your Highness is noble, but at my age, even if I escape from the prison, I can't escape the pursuit of the imperial court, and I'm afraid I will die sooner or later." ”

Zhong Yangming comforted: "You don't have to worry about this, since I rescued you, I can naturally save your life, not only you, but also your family's life." ”

When Liu Mincai heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Really? But His Royal Highness was not relegated to the ...... of Xuanxuan" Halfway through his words, Liu Min showed a suddenly realized expression and said, "Oh, the old minister understands. ”

No, you get the idea?

Zhong Yangming didn't know what the old man understood, but he seemed to have accepted the status quo.

Zhong Yangming asked: "Liu Shilang, I want to ask, what secrets did you write in your "Heavenly Gong Gewu" that would make the prince take such great pains to frame you?" ”

This is what Zhong Yangming cares about the most.

When Liu Min heard this, he suddenly made a bitter face and said to Zhong Yangming: "Your Highness, the old minister doesn't know either." ”

Zhong Yangming: ???

"Didn't you write this book? How could you not know? ”

Liu Mincai suddenly shouted wronged: "Your Highness, it's true that the book was written by the old minister, but this is really a book that records various crafts." Lao Chen has been obsessed with various crafts for many years, from mining to wrought iron, from dredging to porcelain firing, and I know at least half of the skills that craftsmen in the world know.

"So when I was almost old age, I thought about writing a book of craftsmen and passing on these crafts, hoping that future generations could strive for excellence, and that's it. What secrets do you think this iron-fired porcelain book can have? ”

Zhong Yangming didn't look like Liu Mincai was lying, and asked strangely: "Then why did the prince arrest you and torture you?" What are they asking? ”

As soon as he talked about this, Liu Mincai was even more aggrieved and wanted to cry.

"I don't know, I really don't know. The first day they asked me, I recruited everything. But they didn't believe me, they said I hid the secret in the book, but when I asked them what they wanted, they wouldn't tell me?

"They whipped me every day, pinched my fingers, and I said everything I did, but they just didn't believe me. Do you say there is such torture, I even recruited my aunt to take a bath when I was a child, and they still don't believe it. ”

Liu Mincai wiped his tears as he spoke, which was really sad to hear.

Zhong Yangming felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and asked, "I heard that when the prince sent someone to arrest you, you burned all the manuscripts. If there is no secret, why would you do it? ”

Liu Mincai said helplessly: "It was an accident." The military department sent the broken armor to my house, and I thought there was something urgent, so I was going to rush to repair the armor overnight. After a few busy days, I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Suddenly a group of people broke down the door and startled me, accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and burned most of my thirty-six manuscripts. They also framed me for rebellion, saying that I destroyed the evidence, and the old minister was wronged. ”

Zhong Yangming: ......

This sounded like a misunderstanding, but Zhong Yangming always felt that something was wrong. The crown prince is not a fool, and if there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible to make such a big battle.

forcibly framed a squire for rebellion, even if it is a prince, he will be criticized.

Now the prince of the court is only seventy percent of the princes, and two percent don't like him. Even if it is a follower of the prince, it is very likely that Liu Mincai will be framed for rebellion so easily, and he will be dissatisfied with the prince in his heart.

Once something unexpected happens, this kind of person is the fastest to defect.

The prince's trick is no longer self-inflicted, it is clearly to cut the major arteries for himself and bleed.

If it weren't for the fact that the contents of the book had a great influence on him, the prince would never have done such a thing.

"Liu Shilang, all of this "Heavenly Works" was written by you? Did anyone else participate in the compilation? Zhong Yangming asked.

Liu Mincai said: "Lao Chen is not a genius, most of the content in it is Lao Chen's personal experience, or he has visited famous people from all walks of life to inquire. When compiling the materials, I also asked many people to help collect materials. In terms of content, 60% of it is written by me, and many of the rest are contributed by others, and I haven't had time to sort it out yet. ”

"Who are the others?" Zhong Yangming asked.

"That's too many to count, in order to write this book of craftsmen, I spent many years, hundreds of craftsmen contributed to me, every once in a while, I will receive manuscripts from all over the world......" Liu Mincai said and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Lao Chen understands, His Highness means that there is a problem with these people." They took private goods that were not good for the prince and stuffed them into my book. ”

Zhong Yangming nodded, like this kind of super-large bibliography, it is definitely not enough to rely on one person, Liu Min is no problem, maybe it is due to other authors.

"Liu Shilang, think about it carefully, before and after being framed, did you leak any rumors, or suddenly received a new manuscript and didn't read it carefully?"

This is the biggest possibility that Zhong Yangming thought of, it must contain something closely related to the prince, and it is very likely to put him to death, so he suddenly did this kind of thing to frame the minister.

Zhong Yangming now understands Liu Mincai's grievances, and blames him for accidentally burning the manuscript, making the prince mistakenly think that he had read the manuscript and left a copy, so he was tortured.

But where did Liu Mincai know where the cat was, and he said that he didn't know, and he was thought by the prince's people that he had been tortured and gritted his teeth, which was even more suspicious.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Mincai is indeed quite wronged.

Liu Mincai smiled bitterly: "I probably know which one it is, there is a manuscript sent from Jiangnan, I haven't had time to read it carefully, but it is temporarily stored on the bookshelf of "Tiangong Gewu". If you count the time, it should be this one. However, I have already accidentally burned it. ”

"Who's sending it?" Zhong Yangming asked again.

"I don't know the specific name, but I entrusted the Yuhang Chamber of Commerce to help me collect relevant information, and they should have mailed it over."

Jiangnan, Yuhang Chamber of Commerce, Zhong Yangming estimates that this is closely related to natural disasters and man-made disasters in Jiangnan.

"That's it, Liu Shilang, you wait here, I'll bring your family, and then leave the capital."

No matter what the evidence is, it will all be burned to ashes at this time, and Zhong Yangming can only let the plants grow back, but he can't make the ashes turn back into paper.

Liu Mincai asked, "Your Highness, where are we going after leaving the capital?" ”

Zhong Yangming said: "It's probably Xuanxuanguan, if Liu Shilang wants to go somewhere else, I can also arrange it for you." ”

Liu Mincai said excitedly: "Where Your Highness goes, the old minister will go, Your Highness rest assured, wait for the old minister to heal his injuries, whether it is a knife or a bow and arrow, whether it is an armor or a ladder, the old minister can make it for Your Highness." ”

Zhong Yangming was about to say that he was too polite, but suddenly he felt a little wrong.

Did this man misunderstand something?
