Penal Department, Heavenly Prison.

The long street in front of the door, from the street to the end, no more, no less, a total of 800 steps. Say long is not long, say short is not short.

Chen Yuan walked this distance, but it took half an hour, saying that it was not tight, and it was not slow. No one blames or questions the speed of Chen Yuan's walking, because he has a leg disease, and because he is a member of the "Tsing Yi Building", one of the four major martial arts forces in the "capital".

As a new generation leader of tens of thousands of "Tsing Yi Lou" disciples, Chen Yuan almost completely followed the methods and style of his father-in-law Bu Tsing Yi, no matter how dangerous he is, no matter how important and urgent he is, Chen Yuan will always be so light and light, and his bearing is extraordinary.

So, even though he was going to save his life now, he was still calm and calm.

He's going to save lives, save someone's life.

Although this person is not himself, in Chen Yuan's mind, it is more critical and important than his own life, a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand times.

That was the life of his brother-in-law, Sana Caien.

Chenyuan's father Chen Sanpo died early, his mother Zou remarried, and he only had one sister Chen Yuan, who depended on him for his life. The eldest sister is a mother, and Chen Yuan's feelings for his sister are naturally much deeper than those of ordinary brothers and sisters. (See Chapter 2 of the Heroes' Club)

Sister Chenyuan's husband, Sana Caien, is a typical "Mongolian" man, Da Chenyuan is in his thirties and sells horses for a living. After Chen Yuan made his fortune, he took his sister and brother-in-law's family to the capital, and contributed money and efforts to open a "horse shop" for the husband and wife.

"Ma Xing" is mainly to lease mules and horses, Sana Caien is hardworking and capable, Chen Yuan is careful and calculating, coupled with the help and support of the disciples of "Tsing Yi Lou", the business of "Ma Xing" is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and the small life of the old husband and young wife is also prosperous.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

Something happened to "Ma Xing", something big happened!

For more than three years, Sana Caien's "horse shop" has always been a good reputation, smooth sailing, the husband and wife from the official family or the rich and powerful customers, leasing no less than 200 mules and horses, and no less than 50 large-scale businesses, all of which are safe and sound, and the customers cooperate happily and are all happy.

Not long ago, the imperial court allocated a large amount of relief materials to the disaster-stricken areas of "Henan"; because the amount of money and grain for disaster relief was extremely huge, the carriages and horses of the "household department" were far from being supplied; in addition, the disaster situation in the disaster-stricken areas was urgent, and there was a shortfall, that is, it was possible to cause a popular uprising.

As a result, six "Jingshi" with a good reputation, including Sana Na Caien, were selected by the "Household Department" and requisitioned below. This is good news for Kusana Caien, and it is also a beautiful difference.

You must know that every time there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the various ministries and departments of the imperial court all take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country, even if they are stripped down layer by layer, and the rental silver left in the hands of Sana Caien will be as much as three to five times the usual price of the people.

With such a rich return, Sana Caien was naturally full of joy and close Zhang Luo, and made full preparations, he allocated all the good horses in the "horse shop", and purchased more than 10 batches of healthy horses in his hometown "Mongolia", and added more than 20 batches of "Sichuan horses" with good endurance and fast feet from the hands of horse dealers in the northwest; in order to ensure that this business was foolproof, those selected and configured grooms and royal hands were all people of the same clan and brothers who had followed Sana Caien from childhood to adulthood, and had excellent riding skills, simple and loyal, and powerful martial arts.

Sana Caien was going to go to "Henan" in person, but before leaving, his wife Chenyuan was seriously ill, and at that time, Chenyuan was rushing to the "East China Sea" and trying his best to block his brother Liu Shenghan and the "wolf skin roll" (see the "wolf skin roll" volume), Sana Caien could only hand over the horse team to his clan brothers, and he stayed to take care of his wife's illness.

Two months later, the other five chariot and horse companies that set off together returned safely to the "Beijing Division" and handed over the money to the "Hubu", but the horse team of Sana Caien did not return for a long time.

Sana Caien and his wife, in anxious waiting, survived for half a month, did not wait for the slightest news of their brother and the horse team, but waited for a piece of paper from the Yamen of the "Criminal Department".

- Sana Caien colluded with the rebellious people, stole from the prison, and embezzled the money and food of the imperial court for disaster relief, and handed it over to the "Criminal Department" to be investigated and handled!

The goods are gone, but disaster will fall from the sky!

In less than a year since he entered the industry, this "gold-clothed patrol envoy" has already led the seizure of the family properties of more than a dozen court officials and wealthy tycoons.

Ban Ma'er is already familiar with the set of raiding homes and arresting people, and he can't be more familiar with it. Under his command, the wolf-like "Criminal Department" Jinyi Wei, regardless of how Sana Na Caien shouted and defended his grievances, no matter how Chenyuan, who had not recovered from a serious illness, cried and begged for mercy, he sealed the "horse line" with all hands and feet, and took away Sana Caien with wooden flail and iron chains.

After this news spread, it caused quite a stir in the "Jingshi" market!

On the surface, the disappearance of the "Ma Xing" was a case of self-theft and embezzlement of state property, and many colleagues, officials and people, only focused most of their attention on the search for the more than 100 horsemen and officials of the "household department" who had disappeared with the horse team.

The first one who couldn't sit still was Zhao Heng, the prince of the "East Palace".

Most of these "household department" officials who are responsible for disaster relief are protégés of Li Gang, the former prime minister of Zuo, who is the spiritual leader of the "King Kang" series of officials and gentry and celebrities, but Sana Caien, who had an accident, is a close relative of his own teacher, Mr. Taifu Bu, the righteous son of Chenyuan, which can't help but make the prince restless.

There is another thing that makes Prince Heng feel even more unusual, the "Criminal Department" secretary who has always been procrastinating in the trial of cases, this time for some reason, he was surprisingly quick and fast, and Sana Caien was sentenced to a summary execution less than three days after he was arrested!

Something is wrong!

With the respect of the "Prince of the East Palace", even if a hundred Sana Caien dies, Prince Heng will not care, the question is, it is obviously six chariot and horse shops that went out together, why is it only the horse team of his teacher's Yizi's relatives who had an accident?

Behind this, will there be a bigger conspiracy that is not conducive to you?

Prince Heng decided to "drag it out"——

At least it must be dragged until Chenyuan rushes back from the "Liuli Villa" on the coast of the "East China Sea".

Once the outcome of the deliberations has been released, it will not be easy to change the outcome.

Especially in the current "Jingshi", due to Emperor Huizong's excessive fatigue and decentralization, until the power of the officials of the "Criminal Department" swelled, almost surpassing the other five departments of officials, households, rites, workers, and soldiers, they took the initiative to move closer to the new favorite of the official family, the "palace marshal Tai Lieutenant" Gao Yu, and formed their own faction, even if the "power gang" Cai Jing and the "rich group" Chai Ruge did not have an unnecessary frontal conflict with them until they had no choice.

In recent years, the party members of the "Criminal Department" seem to have become the fifth largest force in the "capital" after the "Power Gang", "Dafengtang", "Tsing Yi Lou", and "Fugui Group", and they are gradually catching up with and surpassing the "Fugui Group", which was founded and developed late.

Therefore, Prince Heng spent a lot of effort to ask the "King of the Southeast" Zhu Mian to come forward to dredge up the relationship between the "Criminal Department", and for the first time in the world, he would "be beheaded immediately" and change the sentence to "be beheaded after the autumn".

The "King of the Southeast" Zhu Mian dominates the southeast, his wealth is strong, there are countless high-ranking officials in the court running for him, and there are unscrupulous masters in the rivers and lakes to serve him.

After all, the disaster relief money and food worth 120,000 taels is not a small amount, especially at the moment of natural disasters and national disasters, when hundreds of thousands of disaster victims on both sides of the "Yellow River" are waiting to be fed, and hundreds of people are starving to death and dying of disease every day, no one can save Sana Caien, a poor "scapegoat".

The words of Zhu Mian, the "King of the Southeast", only made Sana Caien, who was deeply trapped in the "heavenly prison", live for an extra month.

However, this month's time is enough to wait for Chen Yuan to rush back to the capital.

On the third day before Sana Caien's execution, in the eyes of his sister Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan finally returned to the "Jingshi" and the "Tsing Yi Building".

As soon as he appeared, he did three things.

The first thing is that he entrusted his second brother Chu Yu, who is "talented and eight buckets, the ninth in the world", to go to the "Prince's Mansion" to meet and thank the prince for his help, with a noble gift, a noble gift that will make the prince feel happy when he sees it.

Noble gifts do not mean heavy gifts.

——The loss and recovery of the "wolf skin roll" is enough for this prince to win back a game in the "battle for the storage position" with his royal brother "King Kang" Zhao Gou.

The second thing is that he asked his righteous daughter Bu Yanqing to take care of and comfort his sister, who was sick and devastated, almost on the verge of collapse, and washed her face with tears every day.

Sister Chenyuan is his dearest relative, and she is also the only relative, she must not be fine.

The third thing is that he personally took the worship post and went to the "Criminal Department" to visit two of the three giants of the "Criminal Department": the "Criminal Department" Shangshu "Ten Palaces Yan Jun" King Yama, and the head of the "Heavenly Prison" Suo Lingchi.

Chen Yuan's mood is very anxious and hot, but on the surface, he wants to pretend to be relaxed, and his anxious sexual mood cannot be revealed at all.

The 800-step street of the "Criminal Department" does not know how many secret agents of the "Criminal Department" and minions of the "Heavenly Prison" are lurking. Their every move is under their close surveillance.

Therefore, Chen Yuan can't be anxious, let alone panic. Once he is anxious and panicked, he will be seen by the other party, and he will give the enemy the opportunity to grasp it.

Therefore, on this day, he rushed to the "Criminal Department" and was still eating "peanuts" along the way.

Peanut shell followed his limp and limped and threw all the way behind him, stretching all the way to the corner of the street in the distance.

Those secret agents of the "Criminal Department" examined the peanut shells on the ground, each of which was split in half, neat and not fragmented, even if it was thrown on the road, it was even and orderly, and there was no sense of disorder.

"My lord, what do you see?" the red-haired, one-armed "Criminal Department" killer Fire Meteor (see Chapter 10 of the "God of Wealth" volume) asked the young man who bowed down to inspect the peanut shell underground and carried an iron hook in his left hand.

"Chen Yuan's hand is very steady, and his heart is calm enough," Ban Ma'er dropped the peanut shell in his hand and said in a cruel voice: "This is a person who is extremely difficult to deal with." ”

"He's just a cripple. The fire meteor's tone was full of disbelief and disdain.

"Master Shangshu once said something like this to me," Ban Ma'er stared at his colleague and said in an unkind tone: "A person who can set great ambitions and do great things, the most basic one is to lift weights lightly, if not, the burden is so heavy, the pressure is crushed to death, and the tiredness is exhausted, what else can you talk about setting great ambitions and achieving great things?"

Fire Meteor shut up immediately.

He may have the guts to challenge the rising star Ban Ma'er, but he is never stupid enough to dare to question the words of his immediate boss, the "Ten Palaces of Yama".
