Mary went to the prison to visit the prince.

The jailer led the way with a lantern, and he wanted to carry a wooden box for Mary.

Mary exclaimed, "You don't need to take it." ”

The two walked in the dark.

The jailer stopped in front of a cell: "Princess, this is it. ”

Mary: "Prince, where are you?" I'm Mary. ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Mary, I'm here." ”

The sound of rushing water.

Mary slowly adapted to the darkness, and when she saw Zhang Zhongliang in the prison, the waist-deep water prison, the stench, couldn't help crying: "Prince, Junlang, you have been wronged." Come here. ”

Inside and outside the prison, the two were close at hand, but their hands couldn't be shaken together.

Mary picked up the jailer: "How so?" ”

Jailer: "Princess, Princess, there is a rule in the prison that all prisoners must be handcuffed and shackled. This is not a villain. ”

Mary: "Go, open it right away." ”

Jailer: "No, princess, if the emperor knew about it, he would kill the villain." ”

Mary: "I'll kill you right now." ”

Jailer: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life." I'm on, I'm on. I'm going to open it. ”

The jailer opened the cell door and opened Zhang Zhongliang's shackles.

Zhang Zhongliang walked out of the water, and the two leaned on each other tightly.

Mary: "Listen, jailer, from now on, I will personally deliver three meals a day, and my husband shall not eat any other food. ”

Jailer: "Hi, hey, understood, understood. ”

Mary: "Send someone to clean the water prison today, and the water in the water prison will be changed every day from now on." ”

Jailer: "Hey, hey, do it, do it." ”

Mary took out a gold bar from her pocket and stuffed it to the jailer: "This is your reward, if my husband can get out of prison safely, I will have another reward, if there is a mistake, you will not want to live, I want you to be buried with you." ”

The jailer took the gold bar: "Hi, hey, don't dare, don't dare." ”

……

Wang Erhan sat in the middle of the hall, with Qiu Yunlong, the leader of the Brahmanism of the Western Liao Kingdom, sitting on the left, and the queen on the right.

Wang Erhan: "The country is eventful, floods and plagues, internal and external troubles, the national teacher patrols the whole country this time, I don't know what to report?" ”

Qiu Yunlong: "I have been traveling for more than a month, and I just returned last night. Everywhere I went, I realized a lot. The plague outside the city is about to spread outward, and I have decreed in the name of Your Majesty that the local officials die with the people, and that they should not be moved, or else they will be punished by escaping from the battle and beheading their entire families. As for the flood, I opened a warehouse to provide grain relief on the day I went, and the people were all grateful for the emperor's kindness, and the army and the people were united, and now the flood control has been effective. ”

After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but let out a sigh and sigh.

Wang Erhan: "The national teacher has worked hard. I have decided to implement benevolent government and announce it to the whole nation every day. ”

Hao Xiwei disdainfully: "Ah! I just don't know if Your Majesty is talking about it or if you really have this intention? ”

Wang Erhan: "How do you say this?" ”

Hao Xiwei: "There is one matter of urgency at the moment. Zhang Zhongliang, the prince of Nanzhaoguo, is now imprisoned in the prison, what crime has he committed, and he will not cut off people's heads for no reason, this is benevolent government, so what is unkind in the world? Today, His Majesty can personally try the case, punish those who are guilty, and release them in court if they are not guilty, so that the ministers can be convinced. ”

Wang Erhan: "How to triage?" ”

Hao Xiwei: "Your Majesty can announce that Wang Cheng will know the difference when he goes to the west hall." ”

Wang Erhan: "Wang Chengxi was poisoned yesterday and escaped, how can he be announced today?" ”

Hao Xiwei: "Wang Chengxi was poisoned, what kind of poison is there?" Yesterday's poisoning can only be tested today, otherwise in a few days, this coconut fruit case will become a headless case, do you want to lock Zhang Zhongliang up for the rest of his life? ”

Wang Erhan: "There is nothing wrong with the trial, but how to pass on Wang Chengxi?" Who will take care of it if it worsens? ”

Hao Xiwei: "Wang Chengxi was poisoned, and he was not rescued until an hour later, and he was poisoned but not dead, which shows that his poison is not deep, and the person who poisoned him should be a stupid person, otherwise Wang Chengxi would have died a long time ago." Since he is not dead yet, he will also be carried up to the temple to confront him. ”

The ministers talked and nodded in approval.

Wang Erhan: "Okay, pass on Wang Cheng to the west hall." ”

Here, Wang Chengxi is playing cockfighting, elated and lively. Concubine Nai was by her side.

Huangmen reported: "The emperor announced that the little prince went to the palace." ”

Wang Chengxi panicked: "Ah, it's not good." Suddenly rubbing his stomach: "Oops, oops, I have a stomachache, oops, I'm going to die, help!" ”

Concubine Nai stepped forward: "What do you shout, my father decreed, this upper hall must go." ”

Wang Chengxi was lying on the bed with a towel on his forehead. It is carried up to the main hall by four yellow gates.

Wang Erhan: "Wang Chengxi, are you okay?" ”

Hao Xiwei: "Is this how the emperor tried cases?" ”

Wang Erhan couldn't hold it back, and began to have a seizure: "You mean I won't try the case?" Okay, you judge, I see how you judge the law? ”

Hao Xiwei: "Then keep your eyes open." "Walked down the steps of the hall and arrived at Wang Chengxi's bed.

Wang Chengxi was scared, and his eyes opened slightly.

Hao Xiwei: "Wang Chengxi, I'll show you a treasure." He took out a roll bag from his sleeve and shook it in front of Wang Chengxi.

Wang Chengxi was surprised to see that the cloth bag he abandoned was in Hao Xiwei's hands, but he pretended to be calm.

Hao Xiwei held up the donation bag: "Ministers, you see, this bag was found near the coconut grove site yesterday, and the contents of the bag were identified by the Tai Hospital as a mixture of croton cream and pig blood meal. It's just that after taking it internally, its symptoms are abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and angular arch reflexion, and the vomit is no different from vomiting blood, so Wang Chengxi's poisoning does not need to panic. ”

Wang Erhan: "It seems reasonable, in this way, it was Wang Chengxi himself who deliberately framed Zhang Zhongliang." So why is Wang Chengxi still unconscious? ”

Hao Xiwei: "Your Majesty is not impatient. He approached Wang Chengxi, took out a bottle from his sleeve, and opened the lid: "Wang Chengxi, look at this." ”

Wang Chengxi closed his eyes and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Hao Xiwei: "If you don't watch it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." He unscrewed the cap, and a small blue snake poked its head out of the bottle.

Hao Xiwei was unhurried: "Don't look at its smallness, this is the most poisonous thing, if you are bitten, you will really die." He poured the blue and white snake on the quilt in front of Wang Chengxi's bed.

The Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar.

Wang Erhan: "Hao Xiwei, what are you going to do?" ”

Hao Xiwei snickered: "Hahaha." Hahaha! ”

Wang Chengxi was terrified, he opened his eyes slightly, saw the blue and white snake standing upright in front of the bed, spitting out red letters, screaming in horror, jumping up from the bed, snatching the door and fleeing.

Hao Xiwei: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Don't panic, adults, this is just the most ordinary side dish in the vegetable garden. Hahahaha-"

All the civil and military forces laughed in unison.

In front of Zhang Zhongliang's water prison.

Huangmen proclaimed: "Your Majesty has a decree: pardon Zhang Zhongliang's innocence, and he can be released from prison when he sees the decree." ”

Mary grumbled: "There is no sin, what is not forgiven." ”

The jailer carefully carried Zhang Zhongliang out of the water prison.

Mary helped Zhang Zhongliang out of the dark prison. Approaching the cell door, Mary blindfolded Zhang Zhongliang.

Zhang Zhongliang: "Why? ”

Mary: "The sun is shining outside the prison, beware of shooting you blindly." Zhang Zhongliang squeezed Mary's hand.

Outside the prison, Zhang Zhongliang was supported by Mary and got into the carriage that had been prepared.
