Cao Qichang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, paced back and forth on the same space with his hands, and walked two large circles in contemplation.

At this moment, Cao Xiangye, who has been in charge of the government for nearly 20 years, vividly embodied his political wisdom and strategy.

He knew very well that the prince would go to the Shifu first, and then go straight to the prison of the Criminal Department, what was this going to do?

Affected by the difficulties of his cronies Shi Shenyi, the prince went here, not only to catch people, but also to kill people, and to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Cao Qichang guessed the key from a simple piece of information, and he had already made a decision.

Yang Du must have had a private deal with the king of Jiangnan, otherwise, why would he provoke the prince inexplicably.

Ay... set himself on fire, and finally became King Ning's pawn.

"Hug Qin, send someone to find Yang Du immediately, and tell him that he must not interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department, this is regarded as the old man returning him a favor."

Hug the piano and leave respectfully.

Looking at the flower seedlings blooming outside the yard, Cao Qichang's mood was extremely heavy.

King Ning recently intervened in the situation in the capital, messing up his rhythm and dormant plan, making Cao Qichang feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

King Ning, who has been strong and dormant for so many years, plus King Han and King Fu

Cheng's allies are even more difficult to deal with than the crown prince.

and the suzerain of the Vengeance Alliance, Yu Kefan, who was once his close comrade-in-arms and brother-in-law.

These are the hidden dangers in his heart.

Grandson, where are you now?

Is it safe?

Why don't you send a letter to the mansion?

……

said that the prince's car drove to the prison of the criminal department.

Along the way, he asked Qianniu Weishu to set up the East Palace banner and scepter, and publicly revealed his identity.

Because he wants to enter the prison of the Criminal Department, how can he enter without revealing his identity.

The chariot stopped in the square in front of the prison of the Criminal Department, and he asked Qiu Feng to take out the prince's gold medal and give it to Wei Changjin.

Wei Changjin held the crown prince's gold medal and knocked on the door of the prison.

After only a while, Zhu Yunshan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department and the warden of the Heavenly Prison, and other prison officials hurriedly ran out of it and knelt in front of the chariot tremblingly.

"Weichen Zhu Yunshan, see His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."

“……”

Glancing at the officials kneeling on the ground, the prince stepped on the stool and stepped out of the chariot, and said, "Get up, go into the prison with Gu and take a look." ”

This seems to be very common, it is equivalent to a superior leader to inspect the national prison, and you lead the way.

But at this time, Zhu Yunshan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The prince of the prison country visited the prison for the first time, and as a brave henchman of Shang Shuqian of the Criminal Department, he personally participated in the Shi Shenyi case from beginning to end.

He knew very well in his heart that the prince's so-called inspection of the prison was actually to meet a person.

Who it is, there is no doubt that it is the head of the household book Shi Shenyi.

But this person's current appearance, where did Zhu Yunshan dare to let the prince see it.

Today, I have just been subjected to another major punishment, engaged in torture to extract confessions, and forced me to confess my guilt.

"Your Highness is slow!"

Zhu Yunshan walked quickly in front of the prince and shook it to the end, and said very respectfully:

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Prison is a damp and ominous place, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the empire, the future Son of Heaven, this kind of golden body is not easy to enter."

Seeing Zhu Yunshan standing in front of him, the prince couldn't wait to kick him away.

can think of the identity of the prince of the prison country, you can't casually beat and scold a third-grade member of the imperial court in public.

Therefore, I endured it.

"Not easy to get into? What do you mean? What about advice or orders? ”

Zhu Yunshan trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"How dare Weichen, this is just a kind suggestion."

"Since it's a suggestion, then get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way of Lone." The prince said coldly.

Zhu Yunshan's lips pursed, he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and his feet moved slowly.

Ding Jiu choked when he saw this, and the bright Qianniu knife was put on the other party's neck.

"Lord Zhu, do you dare to resist the decree?"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunshan was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided the way out.

The crown prince put his hands behind his back, surrounded by Jiang Wulang, Wei Changjin and others, and strode into the prison.

After Ding Jiu put away the knife, he led the guards to follow.

Zhu Yunshan hurriedly called a prison historian and asked him to hurry to the compound of the Criminal Department and call Master Shangshu.

After the arrangements were made, he followed forward tremblingly.

The crown prince went all the way to the Imperial Prison.

It was dark and damp, with screams, moans, and a pungent smell of blood and rot.

The Imperial Prison is a large prison with thousands of key criminals imprisoned here, surrounded by heavy security and swords.

If you break in, something will happen.

Ding Jiu and the others were all on high alert, and the Qianniu guards surrounded the prince in the middle.

Shi Shenyi is a serious criminal, and unlike other prisoners, he is held in a very hidden place.

If you don't have a prison history to lead the way in front of you, you won't find it at all if you walk through the labyrinthine prison corridors.

Around the small cell, except for the standing guards, there was only Shi Shenyi.

He sat against the wall on the damp ground, and even if his unkempt hair exuded from being tortured to the point of being inhuman, it could not hide the indomitable righteousness in him.

The brass lock rattled, and the cell door was opened by a key.

Curled up in the corner, covered in stains and scars, Shi Shenyi opened his swollen eyes slightly.

When he saw the crown prince, he almost thought he was dreaming.

"Temple... Your Highness? ”

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes widened suddenly.

Shi Shenyi never expected that the crown prince would come so quickly, and he came in person.

He crawled frantically to the door of the cell, grabbed the cold iron pillar with both hands, and cried out in tears:

"Your Highness, Your Minister... The minister is wronged! ”

Looking at his henchmen who were tortured to death, the prince felt a pain in his heart and was furious.

"Zhu Yunshan!"

With a broken drink, Zhu Yunshan, who curled up at the back of the team, knowing that a catastrophe was coming, crawled to the ground and came to the prince.

"Lone came to ask you, has Shi Shenyi ever been convicted?"

Zhu Yunshan's cold sweat seeped out of the ground, and he replied in a panic: "Still... is still under interrogation..."

"That's not a conviction, he's just a suspect and not a suspect, right?!"

Zhu Yunshan's tongue twister reprimand for the crown prince was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He couldn't quite understand the essential difference between a suspect and a suspect, so he replied with a crying voice: "Yes... That's right. ”

The crown prince's voice was even higher, and he rebuked loudly and angrily:

"Since he is not a suspect, Shi Shenyi is still the official secretary of the imperial court, and according to the rules for suspects, he is detained in solitary isolation, and he is not allowed to torture or extort confessions during interrogation, and he can only be convicted after being tried by the three halls."

"As the right attendant of the Criminal Department, your understanding of the criminal laws of the Final Jin Empire is so superficial, it is simply indiscriminate!"

In the face of the prince's loud reprimand, Zhu Yunshan was completely covered by clouds and fog, and he was stunned.

It's all over the head.
