Just when the court was boiling, Jiang Ning sat calmly on his seat, making tea.

At this time, Chu Wen and Tian Yanghe ran in in a panic.

In addition to the two of them, there is also Zhou Shang, the official of the celebrant and the supervisor.

"Oh, my Lord Jiang, why are you still drinking tea here, woe to you!"

The three of them suddenly heard that Bai San'er had disappeared and Zhao Qian had entered Beijing, so they thought of the strange thing, and they couldn't pay attention to it, so they hurriedly came to find Jiang Ning.

After all, he won the emperor's favor the most, and he also participated in it this time, and became the backbone of several people.

"Panic what."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, poured four cups of tea, and pushed three of them forward.

The two adults drank a cup of tea first, sat down and spoke slowly.

This tea is brewed from a mountain spring, with an endless aftertaste, a rare and high-quality tea. ”

Chu Wen and the three of them glanced at each other, and said with a sad face: "Lord Jiang, don't drink it, your eyebrows are burned." That Zhao Qian ......"

Jiang Ning raised his hand to interrupt: "I know about this. ”

"Know? Since Master Jiang knew, how could he not panic at all?

Your Majesty Zhao Qianming, I will wait for everything to rest! ”

"What should come will always come, and you can't hide if you want to."

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea, still unhurried.

Chu Wen, Tian Yanghe, and Zhou Shang all showed despair on their faces.

In their eyes, Jiang Ning was tantamount to being frightened and stupid at the moment.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

At this time, the honor guard in the palace arrived, and an internal official sang loudly outside the camp.

When Chu Wen and the others heard this, their legs suddenly weakened, and they fell to the ground in fright.

Jiang Ning got up and walked over, pulled them up and walked out.

I saw that in the open space, the servants of Dali Temple, dozens of soap officials of the Criminal Department, plus the palace guards, guarded one of the internal officials.

This person is Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong saw Jiang Ning, his eyes were full of regret and puzzlement, and he immediately said loudly:

"Feng, the emperor of heaven, the edict said: ......"

The content of the holy decree is very simple, it is nothing more than to say that several people are guilty of one crime, and then order to be tied up and returned to Beijing, and there is a division to investigate and deal with it.

When Zhou Shang heard this, he immediately trembled, and wailed: "The old slave is wronged, wronged!" ”

Chu Wen and Tian Yanghe were also trembling, and their backs were wet with sweat in an instant.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, stood motionless.

In the eyes of others, it is a look of being scared and stupid.

"Come on, tie these four people into a prisoner car, and escort them back to Beijing."

In the dark and damp prison of Dali Temple.

The four Jiang Ning people, who had already changed into prison uniforms, were separated and detained in separate cells.

Unlike Chu Wen and the others, who kept crying and shouting grievances, Jiang Ning just sat cross-legged on the hay, his eyes closed, as if he had accepted his fate.

After a while, it was noon.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Several jailers came with a wooden barrel.

One of them picked two steamed buns and walked into Jiangning's prison.

He said in a low voice, "Lord Jiang, it's time to eat." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that it was Shi Wenyi.

"Lord Laoshi has bothered."

"Whatever Master Jiang said, you have orders, and your subordinates will naturally obey them."

Jiang Ning pointed out meaningfully: "Jiang is now a substitute for the crime, and he can't say that he will be beheaded in a few days, and Lord Shi still dares to get involved?" ”

Shi Wenyi said with a smile:

"Master Jiang is resourceful, and now he is in prison, but he is still so calm.

Previously, he sent someone to find his subordinates early, thinking that he had already found a way to get out.

When you go out in the future, won't you be able to bring your subordinates again? ”

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

This person can see through and speak honestly, and he can really use it.

Shi Wenyi then said: "Commander Mu has already known about this matter, and his subordinates have fully cooperated with the adults. ”

Jiang Ning nodded.

This was also expected by him.

After all, he is the commander of Jinyiwei, and if something happens, Mu Bin, who recruited him, will also be implicated.

Jiang Ning first commanded a few words, and then said:

"Master Lao Shi will go to my mansion and tell my wife, so that she should not worry, and I will be safe in ten days at the latest."

"Your subordinates can save it, and your lordship should take care."

Shi Wenyi immediately got up and left.

Jiang Ning picked up a steamed bun and thought about it while eating.

Following.

The three law divisions brought the four Jiangning people out of prison, and Meng Xiang, the secretary of the criminal department, presided over the trial, and Zuodu Yushi and Dali Siqing were jurified.

But after three days of interrogation, the four of them all insisted that there was no such thing, and it was completely Zhao Qian's wanton framing for his own selfish interests.

Even Bai San'er was taken to the court to testify, and it was also determined that he accepted Zhao Qian's benefits and slandered the court officials.

Meng Xiang was helpless.

Early dynasty.

He came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Ning and the others bit to death that there was no Jinjing seepage, and Zhao Shilang and Bai San'er were all in collusion and slandered them.

It is the minister who implored His Majesty to grant permission to punish the three legal divisions. ”

Xie Qian hurriedly stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, no.

This case involved the celebrant and was not allowed to participate in the case.

The Criminal Department has never been allowed to extort confessions by torture, although the four Jiangning are criminal officials, but they are still ministers of the court before the crime is determined.

If the punishment is used at will, so that the torture becomes a trick, then where is the law of the court?

The ministers privately thought that it would be the same if they tried the case in other ways. ”

Seeing this, Yan Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, immediately said:

"Your Majesty, several suspects in Jiangning know how serious the water seepage in Jinjing is, and for the sake of their own lives, of course, they all quibble.

In order to get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible, it is inevitable that punishment will be used.

Please think again, Your Majesty! ”

For a while, the ministers insisted on their own words and quarreled in the palace.

Among them, Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, danced particularly happily, and together with Yan Min, he and his subordinate officials agreed to the punishment, as if they were afraid that the case would drag on further.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, looking at the messy scene below, and felt bored in his heart.

As soon as he was bored, he thought of Jiang Ning's deception and betrayal, and he was even more annoyed.

"Alright."

Zhu Houzhao slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Let the criminal department use the punishment and finalize the case as soon as possible!" ”

After getting the emperor's order, Meng Xiang took people to the prison happily after leaving the early court.

He did not try them together, but first brought Chu Wen to be tortured.

Because of his feng shui acupoint, this time the golden well seeped water, and he was naturally the first evil.

And Chu Wen has always been pampered, how can he ever suffer such an encounter.

After dozens of lashes, he couldn't hold on and recruited everything.

"Don't, don't fight, I say, I say ......"

Tian Yanghe and Zhou Shang, who were watching from the side, suddenly looked at him with resentful eyes.

But they never thought that if it was them who used the torture, I am afraid it would not be better than Chu Wen.

And Jiang Ning watched all this expressionlessly.

He had expected this in his heart.

Wu An Bo House.

Li Yun'er and Su Luoxian were sitting in the hall, anxiously waiting for news.

Although Shi Wenyi had been instructed by Jiang Ning before, he told them not to worry.

But Jiang Ning is not released for a day, and the hearts of several of them will not be able to fall for a moment.

Fortunately, there will be the latest news every day, so that they can know the situation in Jiangning, and they can still settle down.

"Madam, Zhang Mingyu, the son of the Ministry of Rites, came to visit."

"Zhang Mingyu?"

Li Yun'er frowned: "Let him come in." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the old housekeeper brought Zhang Mingyu in.

As soon as he walked into the hall and saw a few warblers and Yanyan sitting there, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The women looked at him, and their faces were even more difficult to look at.

Jiang Ning will go to prison, mainly because of the Ministry of Industry's denunciation, but the Ministry of Rites is also arranged, Zhang Sheng even did not hesitate to throw it to Tian Yanghe, but also to participate in Jiang Ning.

And Zhang Mingyu came suddenly, it's strange that they can have a good temper.

"Zhang Gongzi suddenly came to the door, what are you doing?"

Li Yun'er is the housewife, so she asked recklessly.

didn't want Zhang Mingyu to ignore her, but instead set his eyes on Su Luoxian.

"Zhang has seen the girl, dare to ask the girl's name?"

Seeing this, Su Luoxian's eyes flashed with deep disgust.

She hadn't forgotten how this person thought of herself before.

The gaze was disgusting.

It's even more annoying that it's so rude this time.

Su Luoxian said coldly: "Madam is asking you, what do you think I have done!" ”

Zhang Mingyu smiled: "But Zhang is here to find the girl." ”
