()Governor Yuan has always ate in a proper manner. Twenty buns a day has been a habit for many years. Before he walked out of the restaurant, no one could come and disturb him except the third concubine and the governor's mansion.

He picked up the No.19 soup bag, poked a small hole with his chopsticks, picked up the straw made of reed tube from the side, and was about to suck out the greasy fresh soup inside, when there was a hurried sound outside. The sound of footsteps, the head of the Governor's Mansion ran into the restaurant out of breath, and he didn't even have time to report, which made Governor Yuan very annoyed, he didn't put down the soup bag, turned his head away, his eyes were full of coldness .

When the manager stepped into the restaurant, he knew that he had committed a taboo, but it was too late to regret it, so he could only say anxiously: "Master, it is... a big deal...!"

Governor Yuan Da said slowly: "Is there a big fire, or is someone dead?"

The manager immediately shook his head, "Neither...none of it!"

"Then what's the big deal?" Governor Yuan's voice was not fiery, but his tone was very angry.

"Yes... yes...!" The manager was out of breath, holding a letter in his hand, and handed it over, "Master, it's Jingli...someone from Jingli...!"

Only then did Yuan Chongshang put down the soup bag, took the letter, glanced at it, his face changed drastically, and immediately got up, he recognized at a glance that this letter was the booklet he had presented to the emperor, in which he clearly stated The fact that Yiwei was killed in Taiyuan, the fact that this account appears, it means that the emperor personally photographed the character.

He finally broke the habit of many years. He didn't finish eating the buns, and he didn't care that he was just in casual clothes. He stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the person?"

"It's in the lobby."

Yuan Chongshang almost trotted to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a young man in casual clothes standing beside a screen of the Tang Dynasty, with his hands behind his back, looking at the pictures of ladies on the screen. The sound of footsteps, the young man turned around, saw Yuan Chongshang, and before Yuan Chongshang could speak, he said with a smile: "Could it be that Your Excellency is Governor Yuan?"

Yuan Chongshang has already cupped his hands and said: "I am the governor of Anyi Road, Yuan Chongshang, dare to ask...!"

Chu Huan raised one hand and showed a gold medal. Seeing it, Yuan Chongshang immediately became solemn. He naturally knew that it was a gold medal bestowed by the emperor, and those who hold such a gold medal can only be sent by the emperor himself. However, there are two types of gold medals. If the upper end of the gold medal is half-moon, it means that the imperial envoy is an inspector and has no right to interfere with local government affairs. Interfere in local government and military affairs, and even have the power to kill first and act later.

The gold medal in Chu Huan's hand was the full moon gold medal.

Chu Huan just flashed the gold medal, then put it away, and said, "I am Chu Huan, the servant of the household department. Please don't blame me for disturbing the governor."

Yuan Chongshang immediately said: "Master Chu is joking. I have been looking forward to Master Chu's arrival day and night, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Looking around, he saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing beside Chu Huan. Guy, there was no one else, so he couldn't help asking: "My lord... Where is your lord's team? Since Mr. Chu has arrived, why didn't you send someone to notify in advance, so I can arrange someone here to meet you."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite. I came to bother you, and the Governor took me to a place."

Seeing Chu Huan and Yan Yue, Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "No hurry. Mr. Chu hasn't had breakfast yet? Let's finish our breakfast first." Turning around, he wanted to order people to prepare breakfast, but Chu Huan said solemnly : "Your Excellency, there is no delay, you can eat breakfast when you come back."

Seeing this, Yuan Chongshang wondered, "Where is Master Chu going?"

"The prison of the Ministry of punishment!"

"Punishment Prison?" Yuan Chongshang was taken aback. He really didn't understand why Chu Huan rushed to the Prison of the Ministry of Punishments when he came to Taiyuan Mansion. , he was born as a warrior, so he didn't procrastinate in doing things, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare the carriage."

"No need." Chu Huan has already stepped out, "I have prepared the carriage, Governor, please!"

Yuan Chongshang saw that Chu Huan's feet were like the wind, and he was already leaving quickly, so he could only follow quickly. After taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, turned behind the screen, took a saber, held it in his hand, and trotted hurriedly Follow behind Chu Huan.

Sure enough, a carriage was prepared outside the gate of the mansion. Yuan Chongshang called seven or eight guards from the governor's mansion to follow him, and got into the carriage with Chu Huan.

In the carriage, Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang were sitting opposite each other. Yuan Chongshang looked at the carriage and was very surprised, "Master Chu, you came from Beijing in a carriage? It's just that this carriage... Hehe, it's a little strange."

He didn't mean that the carriage was very big, but he felt that since Chu Huan was an imperial envoy with a high position and authority, and came from Beijing in a carriage, it must be a more luxurious carriage, but this carriage is really It was too old-fashioned, it looked ordinary from the outside, and the inside was extremely low-grade. Yuan Chongshang really couldn't imagine that a dignified imperial envoy would ride in such a carriage.

Chu Huan naturally understood what Yuan Chongshang meant, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I misunderstood. When I came from the capital, I came here on horseback, but just this morning, someone gave me such a carriage."

Yuan Chongshang was a little confused, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Master Chu also has old friends in Taiyuan Mansion?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It can be regarded as an old friend."

The carriage was rattling, the speed of the carriage was very fast, and after an unknown amount of time, the carriage had stopped. Sun Tzu jumped out of the carriage, opened the door of the carriage, and said, "Master, we are here!"

Chu Huan jumped out of the carriage first, and saw at a glance that this was the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The carriage was parked outside the wooden fence. At the entrance of the wooden fence, two jailers in black with swords were guarding. They were about to order the carriage to leave when they saw the governor. Yuan Chongshang had already jumped out of the carriage, and behind the carriage were seven or eight armored warriors, which were the armor of the guards of the governor's mansion. How dare the two jailers be negligent, they both stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, Lord Governor!"

Yuan Chongshang didn't even need to look, he and Chu Huan went straight into the wooden fence and saw that the gate of the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment was closed. With a wave of their hands, two guards had already stepped forward and slapped the gate, "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly! !"

The gate opened quickly. A jailer poked his head out and was about to yell at him. When he saw the armor, he shrank back his words. Yuan Chongshang had already stepped forward, pushed the gate open with his hand, and turned to Chu Huan and said: "Lord Chu, this is the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What are you doing here?" He asked the jailer, "Is the prison officer here here? Tell him to come here."

The jailer hurriedly ran to report, but Chu Huan had already walked in quickly. He was familiar with the road and remembered the cell where he was imprisoned yesterday, turning around in the maze-like prison. What kind of medicine is sold in Huan Gourd, but he can only follow Chu Huan's buttocks to the cell door, which is locked tightly. Yuan Chongshang saw two jailers beside him, and immediately said: "Open the door quickly."

The two guards hurriedly said, "The key is in the hands of Prison Officer Yang!"

"Don't look for him yet!"

"Your Excellency, the little one is here." A voice came from behind, and Chu Huan turned around, and saw the white and fat Prison Officer Yang trotting over panting. He was too fat, and when he ran, the fat on his body went up and down Even though it was already winter, there was still a trace of sweat on his forehead, but the black cat in his arms had disappeared.

After Prison Officer Yang came over, he was about to kneel down to pay homage, when Yuan Chongshang waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, open the door quickly, the imperial envoy is going in to inspect."

Prison officer Yang looked at Chu Huan, with the same expression on his face, but with a look of awe, he cupped his hands and said, "See the imperial envoy for the younger one." He took out the key from his waist, and stepped forward to open the door of the cell.

Chu Huan glanced at Prison Officer Yang indifferently, without saying much, walked quickly into the old house, walked down the stone steps for a while, reached the prison road, turned two corners, and there were prison rooms on both sides.

Chu Huan clearly remembered that when he left this large prison, there were very few prisoners on both sides of the prison, but now he has discovered something strange. Although the cells on both sides are not overcrowded, there are obviously more prisoners than when he left. Many people came, and these people were all in rags and with disheveled hair, and the foul smell in the cell permeated every corner.

Chu Huan frowned slightly, and walked slowly along the cell road. The roads in the cell also criss-crossed, but Chu Huan remembered where he was imprisoned. He came to the cell where he was imprisoned. Xigu is still here, but the cell is empty, there is no trace of He Gu, he immediately went to the cell next door, and the three ghostly men of Hegu were also gone.

Chu Huan frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned his head, stared into Prison Officer Yang's eyes, and asked, "Why are these two cells empty?"

Prison officer Yang respectfully said: "If you go back to the imperial envoy, our Taiyuan Prefecture is in good order, there are not many cases, and there are not many prisoners in custody, so... some cells are still vacant."

"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled faintly, "Prison Officer Yang, do you know why this imperial envoy came here today?"

Prison officer Yang looked bewildered, shook his head and said, "The little one doesn't know. Your Excellency is the first imperial envoy to come to inspect this prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The young ones are lucky to see Shangguan's dignity!"

"This imperial envoy came to Taiyuan Mansion and made a private visit in disguise. I heard that your Ministry of Criminal Affairs detained a few Guifang people and put them in jail." Chu Huan stared into the eyes of Prison Officer Yang, "But I don't know that those Guifang people were arrested. Where are they locked up? The imperial envoy wants to interrogate them. What royal law have they committed?"
