Last time, I said: Lu Jianfei received the emperor's order to visit Fang Xinyao's father, Lord Fang Yanfang, the prefect of Hangzhou. The prison is as eerie as hell, and there are all kinds of people who have gone crazy, and there are all kinds of death row prisoners who have lost faith in life. Fang Yan was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, Lu Jianfei took some effort to find him, Fang Yan's heart was full of vigilance, but Lu Jianfei said some words, Fang Yan believed that this time he was sent by the emperor, not Liu Shichen sent someone to kill him.

Lu Jianfei asked, "Lord Fang, are you okay here?" Those jailers didn't have a hard time for you, did they hurt you?" Although the two were separated by a heavy iron door, the movements of the two of them were as if they were talking face-to-face. Fang Yan shook his head and said lightly: " I'm a dying sinner, even if I am wronged and tortured, it is also a matter of course, not to mention the jailers here are polite to me, not to mention how good the daily meals are, but at least not leftovers, there is a mouthful of hot food, I am very grateful to them in my heart, they have always been responsible, and they have never abused me for half a point, I am here, no one talks to me, and I can't see the outside scene, it's not good, but the emperor can keep my life strict, and the sinner is already grateful. "Lu Jianfei has followed the emperor for so many years, plus he has also worked in the capital before, he knows what kind of mental condition the prisoners are incarnated, not to mention that this is not an ordinary prison cell, this is the most terrifying prison. Lu Jianfei sighed slightly, and said: "Lord Fang, the emperor has sent someone to Hangzhou to verify your matter, but the result is not satisfactory, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng will not let you go, so the emperor is forced to have no choice but to temporarily imprison you in the prison, in fact, he wants to save your life." Fang Yan raised his hands, raised his forehead, and said: "Thank you for the emperor's great kindness, how could the criminal minister not know, if it weren't for the emperor who arranged the criminal minister in this prison that outsiders can't enter, and there are so many imperial guards outside to guard it, I'm afraid that my cheap life has already been cut off." Lu Jianfei frowned and said: "Lord Fang, don't despise your own life, the emperor said, everyone only has one life, so you must cherish it extraordinarily, your talent, the emperor knows, and has always wanted to reuse it, but due to various reasons, he failed to get his wish in the end, and this time there is another thing." However, the emperor said that if you are a little relieved, the emperor will definitely find a way to help you clear your grievances, so that you can deal with the real mastermind behind the scenes with the emperor. Fang Yan suddenly knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and said: "The emperor is aware of everything, believes that the criminal minister is innocent, and is willing to thoroughly investigate the matter for the criminal minister, and clear the grievances of the criminal minister. Lu Jianfei said: "Lord Fang doesn't have to be like this, the situation on the emperor's side is not very ideal now, some people are ready to move, and they have been making some obscene small actions to contain the emperor." Hmph, Lord Fang, it's not me Lu Jianfei who said the ugly things in front, no one can say for sure about your life, including the emperor, so even if the emperor wants to protect you, but it's not accurate, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will take you to the execution ground to be punished. Fang Yan didn't feel a trace of surprise after hearing this, after all, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, and this time there was this kind of thing, he had put his life and death out of the way, the only thing he couldn't rest assured in his heart was his daughter Fang Xinyao, he knew that with his daughter's character, he would definitely track down Shangjing, and he would try his best to clarify the facts for himself, he was afraid that his daughter would be in any danger, even if his life was not guaranteed, it didn't matter, anyway, he had lived for so many years, if something happened to his daughter at a young age, he would not be at ease even if he went to Huangquan。

Fang Yan looked unusually calm, he said slightly: "Lord Lu, I know what you said in my heart, and I also understand the emperor's hardships, rest assured, even if there is such a day, I will definitely cooperate with your official duties, without any complaints, and abide by the emperor's will. Lu Jianfei shrugged his hands behind his back and said, "It's good that Lord Fang can understand the emperor's hardships, and if you come today, the emperor will ask you a word." Fang Yan asked cautiously: "Lord Lu, please speak, the criminal must tell the truth." Lu Jianfei looked at the heavy iron door in front of him, and said sharply: "Lord Fang, does that stolen money really have nothing to do with you?" After hearing this, Fang Yan immediately responded categorically: "No!" Lu Jianfei nodded slightly, and said: "That's the best, the situation outside is very complicated now, you must be safer staying here than outside, if you need anything, you can tell the jailer, let him bring me a message, I will personally report to the emperor, and I will definitely satisfy you within the allowable range." Fang Yan's eyes were a little lost, and he paused for a while.

Lu Jianfei saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and knew that he must have some difficulty, so he asked: "Lord Fang, if you have any worries in your heart that you can't let go, you can tell me, otherwise, after today, I can't guarantee that there will be such a good opportunity in the future." Fang Yan knew that if he didn't say it at this time, there might not be this possibility in the future, because he might be pulled out and beheaded at any time, and even if he told the jailers something, he was afraid that those people would not be willing to bring a message to Lu Jianfei, even if those jailers were willing, they might not be able to see Lu Jianfei himself, and when the time came, there would be some chaos because of this matter, but I was afraid that it would be bad for everyone. Fang Yan said: "Lord Lu, there is indeed one thing in the heart of the criminal minister that I am very concerned about. Lu Jianfei said, "Oh, Lord Fang, please speak." Fang Yan turned around, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided to speak, and said: "Lord Lu, I don't care if I can escape this catastrophe this time, what I'm worried about is my daughter, Xin Yao, she is still young, but her character is clear to me, she saw that I was wrongfully escorted to the capital, she will definitely try her best to save me out, I am afraid that she will be bullied outside alone, it doesn't matter if I die, if Xin Yao has the slightest accident, I will be sorry for her dead mother." Lu Jianfei has not started a family in his life for his career, but he can understand the worries of parents about their children, he knocked on his temple, his face was solemn, and said: "Lord Fang wants me to send someone to find Ling Qianjin and protect it on his behalf, right?" Fang Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I don't want Xin Yao to have an accident." "Lu Jianfei used to like to manage the injustices of the world when he was a fast catcher, and it was his own intention to hunt down Zhanqun at the beginning, although he has followed the emperor into the palace for so many years, his temperament will be somewhat consumed by the rules of the palace and the unspoken rules of officialdom, but the little chivalry of his youth is still retained in his heart, he said: "Lord Fang, I can't promise you other things, but in this matter, I, Lu Jianfei, can guarantee with my life, I will try my best to find Ling Qianjin and ensure her safety." Lord Fang suddenly walked to the side of the iron gate, leaned against the iron gate, and said excitedly: "Then the criminal minister Fang Yan will thank Lord Lu, your kindness, maybe my Yan will not have a chance to repay it in this life, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to be a slave and a servant for Lord Lu." Lu Jianfei didn't like others to be so polite, and said: "Eh, what did Lord Fang say, even if I am not the chief of the imperial guard next to the emperor, even if I am still a small catcher in the capital before, this kind of thing to protect the people is also what I should do, you don't need to thank me, I, Lu Jianfei, am hard to chase today, you can rest assured, if you really want to thank the emperor." Lord Fang gently wiped away the tears that fell involuntarily from the corners of his eyes just now, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, what Lord Lu said is very true, the criminal minister Fang Yan has not done anything for the imperial court, and let the emperor work hard for my affairs for so many days, the emperor's grace is vast, and Fang Yan will have no regrets even if he dies." ”

Lu Jianfei knew that he had been here for a short time, and what he had to say had been said, and the emperor's meaning had already been conveyed, and he turned around to leave, and said: "Lord Fang, the emperor said, don't take your own life, everything may have a turnaround, wait patiently here." Even if we really want to die, our manly husbands are not afraid. What you just said, I'll do it myself later, you have a good rest, I'm going to go back to my life first. Fang Yan said loudly: "Okay, Lord Lu, you should also be careful, and ask the emperor for peace on my behalf." Lu Jianfei lifted the sword and left a sentence: "I will, see you later." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the heavenly dungeon where there was only a faint light of torches. Fang Yan sat back on the edge of the bed again, his eyes were confused, as if he was thinking about something and was distracted......
