Book with Emperor

Chapter 215 Visiting in Prison
A group of scholars blocked the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment with righteous indignation, shouting to see the files of the emperor's case, which attracted many people to watch, and a street was tightly blocked.

This case was kept secret, no one in the court dared to intervene, even the Ministry of Punishments just obeyed the order, so naturally they didn't dare to come forward to deal with these troublesome scholars.

"This group of scholars just eat too much and make trouble all day long. They pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him before, but now they want to reverse the case for the emperor!"

The Zuo servant of the Ministry of Punishment blushed with anger, and slapped the table with his hand, "Treasons! A bunch of troublemakers!"

"cough."

The servant on the right coughed dryly and winked to the side.

The left servant was stunned, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Xie Heng behind him, and hurriedly laughed, "Master Xie, I am impatient for a while, I have no other intentions, you must not be as knowledgeable as the lower official..."

"No problem."

Xie Heng was dressed in a red official uniform, with a black gauze cap covering his hair, and calmly put away the case file in his hand, "If you are a scholar, you will inevitably be frivolous. How can you understand the painstaking efforts of the court? You should also teach me a lesson."

Although he spoke in a friendly manner, he didn't smile much. Zuo Shilang knew that he was backed by Ke Wang's party, he was in full swing, and he had a grudge with the emperor's teacher, so he didn't dare to speak again.

Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has just been suspended because of his son's incident, and now there are only two ministers in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the case of the emperor's teacher has not been thoroughly investigated, so he went through the process and handed over the file to Dali Temple. Xie Heng came this time for this purpose.

The waiters on the left and right sent people out of the lobby courteously, then smiled wryly and stopped moving forward.

Xie Heng knew that they were afraid of the group of scholars outside the gate, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Punishment with the little official.

The scholars outside the door first thought that the person in charge of the Ministry of Punishment had come out, and they were quiet, only to find out that they were acquaintances.

"Thank you brother!"

The leading scholar was overjoyed, and before he finished speaking, Xie Heng said coldly, "This is the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. If you have any grievances, you can go to Dali Temple to appeal for grievances. Don't mess with the law, and you will only be punished."

The scholar raised his voice and asked, "Then are you willing to avenge the emperor's teacher?"

Xie Heng stretched out his hand, "Where are the witnesses and evidence?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone said bitterly, "Where is the evidence of the emperor's rebellion?"

"It's all here."

Xie Heng raised the file in his hand, and the scholars suddenly fell silent again, and he immediately ordered, "Come here, drive them away from this place!"

"Yes!" The people from the Ministry of Punishment immediately began to forcibly expel the scholar.

Xie Heng turned to leave, and heard someone shouting behind him, "Xie Heng! Who knows that you have been with King Ke for a long time, taking revenge on the emperor for personal gain! I misunderstood you, you mediocrity who is blinded by power!"

Xie Heng's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't look back, and walked straight away.

This scene soon spread to most of the capital, and everyone only said that Feng Shui took turns. Qin Guanyue was so beautiful that day, and he never put this Master Xie in his eyes. He watched his three clans be wiped out. Now it is Xie Heng's turn. Revenge went back.

On the other side, the members of the Kewang party gathered in a teahouse in the south of the city all smiled when they heard the news.

"This Xie Heng is really good. As long as he is still in Dali Temple, those scholars can't bypass him to reverse the case for Qin Guanyue."

Master Zhou rubbed his chin, smiling all over his face, "It's a group of scholars after all, it's not their turn to stir up trouble in such a big capital."

"Speaking of which, the lord has a discerning eye, and he took this person under his account."

Yang Chuo put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Ke Wang Ningsi who was sitting in the high position, "My lord, now that the imperial decree has been issued, Qin Guanyue will be executed in three days, and our chance has come."

The person in front of him didn't speak, but seemed to be thinking?
Master Zhou said, "My lord?"

"Father is still injured. Although he has completely given up on Qin Guanyue, he has not lost his original suspicion. If we deal with the crown prince at this time, I am afraid that we will set ourselves on fire."

Ning Si paused, then said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer."

Yang Chuo looked at him deeply, "Don't worry, my lord. I'm not a reckless person, so I won't act rashly. It's just that I won't come when the time is right. If my lord wants to do something, I should be prepared."

Ning Si avoided his gaze and said in a deep voice, "This king will prepare."

Without waiting for others to say anything, Ning Si waved his hand to indicate that he was going back to the house, and they had no choice but to watch him leave.

"This……"

A few people were anxious and confused, looked at each other and then looked at Yang Chuo, "Master Yang, what does this mean, my lord? Is there any backhand that we can't let me know?"

Yang Chuo looked at the shadowy corridor outside the door, and said calmly, "I'm afraid the prince has softened his heart."

"Softhearted?"

Master Zhou was in a hurry, "At this time, the prince suddenly thinks about brotherhood?"

On the side, Master Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said, "Master Yang is not talking about brotherhood, but about beauty."

Mr. Zhou and the others were startled.

Yang Chuo looked down at the still warm tea on the table, "Your Majesty doesn't need to prepare it, but we have to."

……

Ning Si walked out of the teahouse restlessly, people around were talking about the recent changes in the capital, and the word "Emperor Teacher" could not be left behind in his words, and he became more and more irritable when he heard it.

He hastened his steps to leave, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, blowing a notice to his feet.

A couple of young men and women are drawn on it, they are exactly Qin Guanyue and Yue Wentian when they were young.

Ning Si looked down at the two portraits coldly, then sneered, turned and walked towards Dali Temple.

On the other side, taking advantage of his father's time in the palace, Han Zhengwei quietly climbed over the wall and came to the Yamen of Dali Temple.

The Heaven Prison consists of a special area set aside by the Yamen of the Dali Temple. It is in the same location as the prison cell of the Dali Temple, but it is further to the south. Those who are locked there are sure to die.

Han Zhengwei deliberately chose the side next to the bamboo forest, swallowed his saliva, and prepared to climb over the wall while the patrol was changing.

As a result, just as he climbed onto the high wall, with his legs still hanging underneath, he saw Ning Si walking towards him with a gloomy face.

Oops!

Han Zheng was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and when he was about to accept his fate, another voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side.

"I have seen the king."

The voice was so familiar that he thought he was hallucinating.So he couldn't help but glanced back, and it turned out that it was his father Han Po who came over.

He immediately turned his head, struggled to climb up the wall and turned over.

At the same time, Han Po, who was striding forward, also walked up to Ning Si, "What is the prince doing here?"

Ning Si was taken aback, and couldn't help but regret that he was impulsive and thought of coming to see Qin Guanyue for the last time at this time, if he was caught, he would definitely be implicated!
He pretended to be calm and said with a calm smile, "However, on the way back home after drinking tea, I remembered that my wife had mentioned that the peach cakes in the previous shop were good, so I decided to take some back along the way."

"I see."

Han Po seemed to believe it, nodded and said, "I'm coming down to Dali Temple for business, so I won't bother you, and I'm leaving."

Ning Si bowed his head in return, turned around and passed the gate of the Yamen of Dali Temple, and walked forward.

Han Po watched him walk away, then turned his head to look at the Yamen of Dali Temple, his face turned cold.

After climbing over the wall, Han Zhengwei burrowed into the grass all the way, digging out a hidden passage.

He stooped all the way through, and saw a young man in a gray-blue guard uniform standing at the end of the passage. The man looked anxious, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his hands were shaking.

Han Zhengwei went up and patted him, jokingly said, "As for it, are you afraid of becoming like this?"

The man trembled in fright, and he couldn't help pleading after seeing the person coming, "My little lord, I'm not as tough as your backstage, if someone finds out, my place in prison will be gone!"

"Tsk, I'm not robbing a prison, just take a look and say a few words."

"You really don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. Are you looking at ordinary prisoners? You are looking at people in the prison!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk too much, I'll leave after a second look, and I won't hurt you."

Han Zhengwei embraced his shoulders, and patted him reassuringly, "Besides, your prison value is what I want from my father, and it's cheaper for you."

The man gave a wry smile and led him all the way into the prison.

The two walked through the dark passage, and stopped in front of rows of dark cells with flickering lights.

The man pointed to the innermost cell on the right, "That's the one, I've paid for everything, so hurry up, there's only time for a cup of tea, or we'll both be in trouble."

"Wait a minute, you didn't go to prison, did you?"

"The higher-ups haven't spoken, so who dares to touch her?"

The man paused and said, "I've been here for a few days, I haven't said a word, I don't eat much, I just drank some water, and I don't know how to make it through...I'm leaving, hurry up."

Han Zhengwei felt uncomfortable when he heard that, he stepped on the wet ground, and saw the thin white figure from a distance.

"Qin..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he became hoarse, not knowing what to say, and also wondering if she would not want to see her like this.

Surprisingly, the figure recognized his voice, and turned around slowly, lifting its thin chin slightly.

"...Little Marquis?"
