Chapter 218 Robbers
Sitting in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Fan Shian, although she was calm, she couldn't hide the impatience in her voice: "Has Luo Wushuang entered the palace yet?"

Knowing that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood, Bai Momo replied cautiously: "Yes, I will send someone to take a look."

"No need, if you still don't come after Shen Shi, then send some people to the palace to invite them directly!" Fan Shi took a sip of the freshly stewed rock sugar pear bird's nest soup: "Little girl thinks that she has climbed up to the prince, so she won't take it!" I put it in my eyes, tsk tsk, it's a pity, it's still too tender."

"Isn't it?" Bai Momo said jokingly: "She only has the ability to make incense. If it can be used by your empress, it will be her blessing. It's a pity that this little hoof doesn't seem to know good from bad!"

"Hmph, if you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine, then no wonder the Ai family is cruel." Fan put down the bowl heavily: "It's only because she stood in the wrong seat."

The master and the servant were talking, when suddenly the little eunuch announced that Mr. An from Zichen Palace had brought a message. Seeing his flustered look, Fan's heart suddenly sank: "Quickly, what's the matter?"

"Eunuch An said that the Sanshui Prison was robbed just now, and the robbers were all very skilled in martial arts, and no one was caught." The little eunuch knew that this was not good news, so he just wanted to finish his sentence quickly.

"What?" Fan stood up all of a sudden: "Someone is robbing the prison again? This is not paying attention to the punishment of my Da'an! How many people were robbed, and what is the specific situation?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was furious, the little eunuch fell to his knees in fright, and said tremblingly: "These Eunuch An didn't say anything, I don't know."

Meanwhile, Nanny Bai, who was standing beside her, was also very anxious. When she saw the queen mother get up and go out, she hurriedly followed, her heart pounding, praying that this matter would not fall on her son's head.

Nanny Bai's son, Zhan Hongyu, is Da'an's Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, in charge of punishment and prison affairs, and the Sanshui Prison is under his jurisdiction.

The officials of the Zichen Palace had already dispersed, and Mu Junyan was pacing back and forth in the palace alone. When he saw the Empress Dowager coming, he knew that she had heard about the Sanshui Prison, so he directly complained: "I knew that I should have heard about the Dali Temple a few days ago." Qing Li Zhibin's petition is not so passive now."

The queen mother glanced at her son, showing some dissatisfaction and worry faintly: "Don't worry, what's going on, how many people robbed the prison, and who were they robbed?"

When Mu Junyan saw his mother like this, he calmed down and said, "There are about twenty people in the group, all of whom are black and masked, and their martial arts are superb. Our guards are no opponents at all..." He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he said this, He looked at the queen mother before continuing: "The three people who were robbed are the three brothers who were involved in the village tyrant case in the suburbs of Ziyang City last month!"

Bai Momo was passing a tea bowl to the Queen Mother, when she heard this, she couldn't help shaking her hand and almost knocked over the tea bowl, Fan Shi glanced sideways: "What's going on, you're so frizzy!" Bai Momo repeatedly said Pleading guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my servant just suffered cramps."

Fan didn't pursue it, and only said to the emperor: "It's too much of a coincidence that two prisons were robbed in a row!"

"It's a coincidence, but the methods of the two prison robberies are completely different." Mu Junyan explained: "The prison robbers were very low-key when the Dali Temple was robbed last time. A piece of high window glass, missing a female prisoner who has just been arrested and has not yet been convicted. But this time, the prison robbers seemed to come to demonstrate, with dozens of people in a mighty force. Robbing people away, smashing, looting and killing wherever they pass, it seems that they are not just for the purpose of robbing people, but more like venting their anger!"

Fan's brows were furrowed as he listened. If it was true what the emperor said, then the other party's purpose might not be just to rob prison, but what is their goal?

After seeing his mother, Mu Junyan continued to say: "It seems that we were careless. Last time Li Zhibin dug up the memorial a year ago and said that at that time he suggested that the Ministry of Punishment should strengthen the supervision of the prison, including strengthening the high windows of the prison. Strengthening the force of the guards and so on, but the criminal department has never taken it seriously, and did not even report it, until a few days ago when Li Zhibin brought up the old story again, the criminal department thought he was shirking responsibility for the robbery of the child prisoner a while ago!"

Bai Momo heard this in her ears and was anxious in her heart. She could do nothing but desperately reduce her sense of existence, and hoped that the emperor and the queen mother would not think of her son being the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and it would be best not to think of her The son went on the head, but that was impossible.The queen mother thought for a long time, but she couldn't make any conclusions, so she had to order: "Let Zhan Hongyu go and investigate. If there is no result within five days, he can be dismissed as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"

When returning to the palace with the Queen Mother, Bai Nao had been very preoccupied. Of course, she was concerned about her son's future, and wanted to convey the meaning of the palace herself. Those who wanted to go suddenly realized that the application time had passed, and Luo Wushuang hadn't come yet. If he could go to the palace, it would be a chance to leave the palace, so he reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for application, and that girl hasn't arrived yet." , look..."

The Queen Mother originally thought that if Luo Wushuang dared to break her promise, she would invite her to come by force, and then put her under house arrest in the palace. It would be more convenient for her to ask anything. Anyway, King Yan has already torn his face, so he doesn't care about making another knot Liang Zi.If he cared about this girl who happened to be a hostage, if he didn't care, then there was nothing to worry about.

But now a lot of people have been transferred to the whole city to search for prison robbers. The remaining guards in front of the imperial court must be kept to protect the safety of the palace and the emperor. It is really useless to use them for a little girl, but if that is the case, queen mother She was really unwilling, and was hesitating, Bai Momo flattered her and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the maidservant go, I won't believe that she won't come!"

Fan's thought is also a solution, Bai Nao is her personal servant girl, and her son is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Although he is a servant, he actually has more face than many officials. If she goes on this trip, the palace must not dare to refuse.Immediately nodded in agreement.

Bai Momo had another plan in mind, she was secretly relieved when she heard the Queen Mother's consent, and immediately made arrangements to leave the palace, but instead of going to the Wang's Mansion, she took a detour and turned to Zhan's Mansion.

She probably would never have thought that there would be no turning back after this trip.

In an alley three miles away from Zhan's mansion, Nanny Bai was snatched from the sedan chair with a cry of surprise. The remaining bearers and two guards were beaten to the ground, but they were left behind. As a matter of fact, the robbers arrogantly asked them to report to the palace and Zhan's mansion respectively, obviously they had nothing to fear.

Zhan Hongyu was already very busy, and when he received the news that his mother had been robbed, he was so anxious that he almost lost his breath.
