step by step

Chapter 326
The bustling streets are brightly lit.

In a courtyard, the rubble of the roof was piled up in one piece, covering the silver light of the moon, leaving only a sporadic glimmer of moonlight projected in.

Ye Zhaoyan lay prone on the beam of the house, with his legs curled up in front of him, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep, listening carefully to the movement around him.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, someone turned over and lifted the rubble, "Miss!"

Ye Zhaoyan stretched out his hand and gestured for silence, "How is it?"

The dark guard lowered his voice, "An hour ago, someone went and returned, it seems to be from the palace."

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, walked lightly towards the eaves, and looked at the gilded plaque.

The investigation department was silent, only the faint halo of candlelight floating in the two windows.

"Miss." The secret guard reminded in a low voice, "The investigator of this case is heavily guarded, you'd better be careful."

Ye Zhaoyan didn't hesitate and left quickly.

In the case investigation department, a dim yellow candle was scattered in the corner of the wall, covering the room in a hazy haze.

Zhao Yan rubbed the secret order while listening to the deputy envoy's report.

"Those envoys from Beirong wanted to take the son of Xizuo back to Beirong to confess his crimes. His Majesty had already agreed, but after the people of King Zhuo entered the palace, they sent the order of the day to keep the man in the palace. Come down." The deputy envoy pointed to the file, "My lord, please take a look at these."

Zhao Yan flipped through the file, his brows gradually wrinkled. "There is something strange about this."

"My lord," the deputy envoy continued, "this subordinate suspects that this person may not be just a spy."

Zhao Yan handed the dossier back to the Deputy Envoy and shook his head, "There is no need to worry about this right now. The holy will has been determined, so don't guess it lightly."

The deputy envoy sighed, "Your Majesty ordered the humble official to follow the adults to hear the case, and he must give an explanation to the Zhuo Palace, and the humble official cannot violate the order."

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered, but within half a day, rumors had spread outside: King Zhuo had adopted the son of the enemy's spy for many years, with suspicious intentions.
However, they wanted to put a crime on that man and wash away the stigma attached to the Laundry King.
Zhuo Wang is a smart person, I am afraid he has already expected all this.

Zhao Yan thought for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Since His Majesty ordered us to investigate the case with full power, then this matter must satisfy that person. You immediately arrange manpower to handle it!"

The deputy envoy breathed a sigh of relief, saying yes again and again.

At noon the next day, officers from the investigation department gathered at the prison gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to escort one person out.

At this time, scattered people had gathered outside the door.

This is the result of the investigation department deliberately letting people release the news.

In half an hour, the entire Jindu will know what is going to happen.

The prisoner's legs were tied with chains, and he was dragged by someone. When he walked out of the prison, he staggered, his clothes fluttered, and his long hair fluttered, covering his face. Only his eyes were clear and clean, like dusty jewels , dazzling.

"Put on the shackles," Zhao Yan ordered.

The jailer put the shackles on him and escorted him into the prison cart.

The prisoner got up and boarded the car, raising his head to reveal a handsome side face.

Zhao Yan was slightly taken aback.

He had never seen the young master of the Zhuo Palace, so he was quite surprised to see him in person.

Zhuo Yibai looked only twenty-nine years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, lips pursed into a straight line, but his stature was not thin, his waist was slender, he was obviously a martial arts practitioner.

His complexion was slightly fair, like snow and jade, and his whole body exuded a coolness, but his expression looked tired and pale.

Such a man, who has done nothing wrong, is about to be tattooed and exiled
Zhao Yan suppressed the pity that rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Young Master Zhuo, please!" A jailer stepped forward and said, only to realize that he had slipped his words.

This person entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and has already been dismissed, so he can no longer be regarded as a person of Zhuo Wang's lineage.

Zhuo Yibai walked away and walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He looked back at the majestic mansion that was barely visible in the distance, a slight cold light appeared in his eyes, and he immediately lowered his eyes and walked in another direction.

The culprit was not a serious punishment, so there was no need to make it public, but this morning, he received an urgent secret order to parade the "Little Zhuo Gongzi" through the streets.

For a time, the people in the market were bustling with each other, talking and talking, and it was very noisy.

"Oh my god, isn't this the son of the Zhuo family!"

"Hey! He doesn't have the blood of the Zhuo family, he is simply a bastard who was replaced and mixed in since he was a child!"

"Degraded from the son of the prince's mansion to a child of the meticulous work, this is more uncomfortable than killing him! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to live on brazenly!"

"Tsk tsk, it's so pitiful, I became a prisoner before the crowning ceremony."

"It's a pity for that face"

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, there is no good fruit to be eaten by excessive kindness."

"That's right, I can't forgive you. This is the descendant of Bei Rong's meticulous work. How can you sympathize!"

I don't think this punishment is harsh enough. According to me, it should be hacked into pieces! "

This is simply a disgrace to the Zhuo family!

But those people who were noisy with the crowd would never know that after today's incident, the young man has nothing to do with the Zhuo Palace. As the dust settles, the cloud over the Zhuo House will gradually disappear.

Zhao Yan, who was riding behind, saw it, and felt a rare coolness in his heart.

It turned out to be the case.

The rumors that these common people talked about could not have arisen without wind, and they were simply spread by someone in advance.

However, without the instruction of the Zhuo Palace, who would dare to reveal one of these secrets?

What the truth is, no one cares.

He frowned and looked at the young man in the prison car, even though he was wearing a prison uniform, he couldn't hide his nobility and demeanor.

The son of meticulous work?

Some things are innate, and blood can't compete.

How many little-known secrets are hidden in it?
Bizarre and strange news are not uncommon in the file warehouse of the investigation department, and there have been precedents since the previous dynasty.

However, the torrent of history ran over, wrapping the flesh and blood of the little people indistinctly, without leaving a trace.

--"Snapped!"

A long whip swung down in the air and hit the young man heavily, blood splashed everywhere, staining the already rusty shackles and shackles red, seeping into the flesh and bone marrow.

"It's already halfway through today, why is the execution still not executed?!" The person holding the whip is Zhang Dian, the jailer of the Ministry of Punishment. His eyes are arrogant, and he has no fear of Zhao Yan and others behind the prisoner.

The Deputy Envoy next to Zhao Yan was about to question him, but when he caught sight of Yan Shoubei standing behind Zhang Dian, he stopped his flag and sounded angrily, "Yan Shoubei, what are you doing?"

"My Majesty is ordering you to inspect Zhuo Wang's Mansion." Yan Shoubei snorted, "Zhuo Wang knew about today's execution, and he saw crowds in the streets, and he was worried that someone would disturb him, so he asked me to come and inspect it. Unexpectedly, I really found out Got tricky."

The deputy envoy gritted his teeth, "Yan Shoubei, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, your case investigation department has been too procrastinated on this matter, it was clearly done last night." Yan Shoubei suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped talking, "I have personally witnessed how you bend the law for personal gain!" He sneered again and again , his eyes turned to Zhao Yan.

　Thank you all for your votes.It's time to start Kawen, and the detailed outline in my mind has already been conceived to the finale, but the writing is not smooth.Maybe it's because my energy is a little low, I'm tired recently.
