Nirvana In Fire - Chapter 158
Jinling, as the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, is naturally a city full of Zhu Zi, and it is expensive everywhere.
In order to facilitate the passage of official sedan cars, and at the same time relieve the common people from the need to avoid the suffering, so the streets are built to be extremely wide, unless the Grand Duke Prince travels, there will generally not be a situation where officers and soldiers open the road and jump. The sedan chair usually only takes less than ten followers and walks leisurely across the street. The residents of the imperial capital have become accustomed to it, and the flashing movement when they encounter it is also very skilled.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Shu Quan, was born in a humble beginning, and was promoted by the Imperial Examination. He had been doing it all from the low-ranking officials. He had always acted in a low-key manner, and did not like Yaowei to be publicized. The mark of his second-ranking official status, but for a long time, his four-seater sedan with blue-and-white sauce noodles has gradually become well-known. Some of his ranks are not as good as him, but he has learned the extraordinary official sedan on the road Active retreat.
After the coronation ceremony in the East Palace, although Cai Quan was not as busy as in previous months, the affairs were still heavy. Even when he returned from Yamen to his home, he would take some files to sit in the sedan chair and watch.
But this day, as soon as he opened the paper in the dangling, he was violently interrupted by an arrow.
This arrow did not know where it came from, it was pierced on the top of the car, and there was no movement after an arrow, obviously not for assassination.
After the guard of the criminal department quickly guarded, he pulled out the arrow and presented it to Master Shangshu together with a roll of notes tied to the arrow.
Cai Quan removed the note and flattened it out. There were only a few simple words.
“The forbidden army commander Meng Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to visit the prison and replaced the rebel Xia Dong from the prison. This is not a false accusation. If an adult doesn’t believe it, he can visit him in person.”
Cai Quan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, he slowly folded the paper and put it away, and said to the outside of the sedan: “Go to the Tianlao blue and white official sedan and take a turn.
U-turned back eastward, and came to the door of the prison after a quarter of an hour.
The guardian on duty came out in a panic to greet him.
But I only heard a short command: “Open the Zhuzi-sized door of the female prison.”
The warden could not see anything from the head boss’s complexion, and he did not dare to say more. He quickly ordered his head to take the key and accompany him.
The size of the Zhu shape is slightly inward in the level of the female prison, and the walls are all around.
Only a high window opened to the west.
That was also the only natural light source in the entire cell.
A woman in prison uniform was sitting on the grass floor. When she heard someone open the door, she turned her face slightly, and the pale hair between her long hair swayed on her cheeks.
Although the scattered side of the temple is stained, at first glance, it is indeed the face of summer and winter.
Cai Quan’s sharp, needle-like gaze was fixed on the female offender’s face. With the passage of time, her pupils gradually contracted, and her face was even more blue.
“Come here! Bring me to the hearing room!” Shang Shu, the criminal department, snapped.
The two guards immediately promised to step forward.
Dragging Gong Yu up and down.
At this time, although Miya Yu knew the situation was bad, she couldn’t resist.
He could only hang his head and was dragged into a newsroom outside the prison cell.
Tortured on the torture rack.
Cai Quan served a pot of cold water.
Splashed his head, motioned to scrub with a cloth towel.
Gong Yu’s fair and delicate skin quickly exposed.
“Who are you? How could you be in Xia Dong’s jail? Who brought you in? Where did Xia Dong go?” Miya Yu closed her eyes as if she hadn’t heard it in the face of the violent interrogation of Shang Shu of the Criminal Department.
Cai Quan’s eyes locked on all the subtle expression changes on the young girl’s face and quickly made judgments.
In the end, he didn’t rush to use his sentence, but ordered the list of people who had been in and out of the female prison for nearly two months to get a glance at the sincere name.
Suspension mirrors rarely have personal relationships, and Xia Dong is a widow. Since she was imprisoned, there are basically no other people to come to see her except those who are interrogated by the order or the orders of the ministers. Shan Luan had fewer afterwards, and the sincerity of being accused came the most diligently, of course the most suspected.
Cai Quan always regarded Meng Zhi as a loyal and loyal minister, so he was still angry at this time, took a step forward, firmly grasped Gong Yu’s hair, and lifted her face up, his eyes straight as a knife, and he was not determined. People under this kind of fierce sight must be in a daze.
However, Gong Yu still closed her eyes gently, and her long curled eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids without any slight tremor.
“Sir,” said a principal who followed Cai Quan suddenly, “I recognize her. She is the original music musician of Miaoyinfang, named Gong Yu.”
“Miao Yin Fang?” Cai Quannong frowned slightly.
He has never been involved in the wind, but the fact that Miaoyinfang was stolen by the former Qing Qing Zhuyue in the name of the Dali Temple because of the name of the bandit is known to him, and he was confused for a while.
Miaoyinfang was confiscated by Zhuyue. Zhuyue was a landlord of Yuwang. Yuwang and Suspension Mirror conspired to frame Jing Wang and then rebelled. However, Suspension Mirror caused Xia Dong to be rescued from her cell after she was rescued. A former musician …
The penal clerk Shangshu, who has always been known for pulling silk and peeling cocoons, is well known for his complicated relationship, but now he feels that his brain is a bit insufficient.
“Adult …” The principal next to him screamed lowly after seeing him silent for a while.
Cai Quan’s face fell, and said, “Don’t be idle, try to make this girl open her eyes and introduce her to take a look at the torture tools in this room. It’s best to let her know something interesting. Don’t trouble us. “
“Yes.”
Cai Quan glanced at Gong Yu coldly again, slowly turned around, sat on the chair behind the trial table, closed his eyes and meditated, and ignored any other movements in the hearing room.
Although the accident that Gong Yu was seen and taken away happened quickly and unexpectedly, fortunately, in case of security, an eyeliner was originally put in Tianlao. Cai Quan just brought his forefoot into the information room. Spread the information.
When Mengzhi received the letter, it happened to be on duty and was resting in the house.
Hearing that Gong Yu was exposed, his first reaction was to change his casual clothes and go straight to Su Zhai, but everyone rushed into the backyard. Suddenly he was worried about Mei Changsu’s current physical condition and hurriedly stopped.
“Master Mongolian,” Li Gang greeted him, “you look wrong, what happened?”
“What about General Nie and Mrs. Nie?”
“All in the South Courtyard.”
Turn around in a sincere direction.
Straight to the south courtyard, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xia Dong and Nie Feng sitting side by side on a bench.
Hands clasped, smiling at each other.
The atmosphere is very warm and pleasant.
“I really don’t want to disturb you,” the Forbidden Army leader shook his head and sighed. “But the bad news cannot but be said.”
“What’s the matter?” Xia Dong stood up. “There was an accident over Tian prison.”
“Mrs. Nie was really keen,” Meng Zhi wiped her face.
The voice said anxiously, “It was Gong Yu who was discovered when Cai Shangshu was in jail. He is now being questioned.”
“When? Today?”
This interrogation was received very quickly, but it was not Xia Dong’s words, but it came from under the corner of the east wall.
Although the sound sounded light and light, very soft, but the sincerity was greatly startled.
Under the honeysuckle stand on the east wall, Mei Changsu, who had a pale blue gown, was almost integrated with the light green branches and leaves. Even the pale face was almost the same color as the white petals of honeysuckle.
“Xiaoshu …”
“Why are you here?” I was there. “Mei Changsu lightly replied and asked again,” When was Gong Yu discovered? “
“It’s today.
About an hour ago.
“I can’t let the palace girl suffer for me,” Xia Dong resolutely said.
“Master Mongolia.
I must go back immediately. “
“It has been discovered. What’s the use of going back to the net?” Meng said urgently.
“Do not.
Sister Dong should indeed go back immediately. Mei Changsu walked over slowly and sat down on a bamboo chair, beckoning to be close to Xia Dong, “You don’t have to worry, these few days I have expected how to deal with Gong Yu in case of an accident,” Several strategies have also been outlined.
Fortunately, it is just being discovered by Cai Quan now. It is not the worst situation. The two of you did as I said, and it is probably successful. “
“Good.” Xia Dong and Meng Zhi are people who absolutely believe in Mei Changsu. There is no doubt. They come over and listen to him carefully, remembering it secretly.
“This set of rhetoric also needs the two of you on the spot to change the situation a little bit more, but this is not difficult for Sister Dong.” Mei Changsu looked at Nie Feng with a smile, and said, “It’s just that you two have to separate again. It’s been a while. “
Nie Feng had already come over, his expression calm.
There was still a layer of white hair on his face at this time, and the facial features were still slightly twisted, but the gesture of flinching and curling was gone, his waist was straight, and his eyes were very bright.
After walking to Mei Changsu, he bent down and held his hand tightly. A few syllables murmured between his throats. He guessed it and didn’t guess what he said, but Mei Changsu did He laughed clearly and nodded.
“Xiaoshu, you look good today, have you recovered?” Meng Zhi asked with some joy.
“Okay is impossible,” a lazy voice inserted, “but there is a difference between the presence of a Mongolian doctor and the absence of a Mongolian doctor.”
Lin Chen said, coming slowly from the other side of the side gallery, but unfortunately, before the leisurely posture, he saw Dr. Yan walking past the other side of the Moon Gate, snorting with a white beard, his face sullen, He had to hurry up and then chased, explaining, “Lao Yan, don’t be angry, I don’t mean that, really not …”
Mei Changsu shook his head and smiled, stood up by Mengzhi, and said to Xia Dongdao: “Sister Dong is better than Xumei, I have nothing to say, take care.”
“Take care of you too.” Xia Dong stepped on his knees, saluted him, and then looked back at the husband deeply, and said simply, “Brother Feng, then I’m gone.”
Nie Feng nodded, um, a few times, and watched the two go out. When the figure disappeared, he withdrew his gaze, and found that Mei Changsu had sat back on the chair again, twisting his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking, and leaned down. Go down and pat his shoulder gently, shaking his head at him.
“I just think about it casually, without much energy.” Mei Changsu laughed at him with a smile, “There are strange places, you don’t let me think, I’m holding back.”
“Xing Mo Ji (What is strange)?” Nie Feng asked.
“Cai Quan is a clerk in the criminal department. He is a member of the second grade. Although Tian prison is under his jurisdiction, why did he run to patrol for no reason?” Sister Dong, if they are successful, this … but ask me … ”
