Jinyi Night Walk

Ji Gang smiled and said: "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, the official came this time, there is indeed something wrong!"

"Oh?"

Xia Xun glanced at him, glanced at the side of his robe, seated himself on the chair, and said indifferently: "Speak!"

Seeing that he was still putting on airs, Ji Gang felt that he was overpowering him, and felt very displeased, so he immediately tingled his chest and shouted: "The emperor speaks!"

His chest was a little too high, and the front of his chest was pushed up, feeling a little cocky. Xia Xun stood up, and slowly bowed down: "Minister, Yang Xu listens to the order!"

He is a duke, not to mention oral decrees and imperial edicts, even if it is a non-important occasion or an important imperial decree, there is no need to kneel down. Ji Gang has nothing to do with him, so he coughed and said: "The emperor said: Xie Jin, the guilty minister, confessed that Yang Xu was in collusion with him, formed a party to run a crime, and plotted wrongdoing. The matter is of great importance and must be investigated, and Yang Xu will be imprisoned in the imperial prison pending investigation!"

"The minister leads the order, thank you!"

Xia Xun bowed, straightened his waist, and said calmly to Ji Gang, "Go!"

Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, he wanted to see Xia Xun's fright, roar, timidity, fear, whatever... Any kind of expected performance would be a great enjoyment for him, more delicious than mountains and seas It's more delicious, it's more delicious than a beautiful woman, it's better than..., but he...

Ji Gang was disappointed, so he had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "Xiaguan knows that the Duke is loyal to the court and has no heart. , The next official is also acting according to the order, and I have wronged the Duke."

Xia Xun said: "I don't do anything ashamed in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night! Even Lord Ji knows that Xie Jin is a false accusation. The emperor is wise, so how can he believe such nonsense. I believe the emperor will clear my innocence. Right now, I want to control my freedom so that I can ask questions fairly. This is due to the rules. If a prince breaks the law, he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people. Although a duke like Yang has a high salary, he is not as high as a prince. Before the national law, he must obey it."

Ji Gang suffocated, and said with a hey smile: "Duke is open-minded, really open-minded. People often say that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly. The duke's bearing is three points better than that of other prime ministers! Don't worry, duke, once the investigation is clear Xie Jin made a false accusation and bit the Duke, the next official will definitely punish him, and let him out on your behalf. Duke, please!"

Ji Gang was full of words, but he was ruthless in his heart: "Humph! The officials who protected the prince and the officials of the East Palace have all been sent to prison, and Xie Jin is also a best friend of the prince. Now the emperor has sent you to prison, it's clear. It is to cut off the branches and pull out the crown prince. Do you still want to come out? I will, some people will not, I will not be the villain, and the king of Han will be the villain! Let's read the songbook on a donkey, we'll see!"

Xia Xun took big strides, walking ahead of his head, Ji Gang followed all the way, thinking about it in his mind, and when he got out of the gate, he realized that he was trotting behind Xia Xun, like a little follower, and hurriedly wanted to take a step forward, Even if he doesn't take the lead, he still wants to walk side by side. Xia Xun suddenly stopped, and calmly said: "The car is coming!"

Xia Xun stood still, but Ji Gang quickened his pace, and rushed in front of Xia Xun, and Xia Xun happened to say this sentence at this time, but Ji Gang rushed out with this step, as if he was in a hurry to lead a horse and drive him Yes, in front of many of his subordinates, Ji Gang's face suddenly turned into the ass of a monkey.

Ji Gang didn't say anything, but was ruthless in his heart: "Don't be proud, wait until the King of Han uses means to fix your death date, and you will see how I will torture you!"

This is the second time for Xia Xun to be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. He is dressed in casual clothes, walking with his hands behind his back, while Ji Gang is dressed in brocade official clothes, with a large number of subordinates. , but Xia Xun can't be tortured right now, and it would be embarrassing to walk with him.

What does it matter if Xia Xun walks with him and his subordinates in this robe?When Ji Gang walks in front, he feels like a guide, but when he walks behind, he feels like a follower. Walking beside him, he looks like a bodyguard... Ji Gang awkwardly accompanied Xia Xun, and managed to reach the prison gate , Ji Gang took the opportunity to say: "Duke, I'm really sorry, there are its own rules in the imperial prison, look at your clothes..."

"Oh!"

Xia Xun smiled casually, and said, "How could I embarrass you about some small things, then...change it!"

Ji Gang quickly waved his hand and said, "Come on!"

Immediately, a jailer came over with a set of prison uniforms. The prison uniforms in this prison are divided into two colors: red and white. Xun has not been convicted yet and is a suspect, so he has to wear white.

Two school captains in Jinyi stepped forward to change Xia Xun's clothes. At this moment, several fast horses galloped towards the prison, and got off their horses at the door. Holding the knife, the man walked up the stone steps. He saw that these people were all wearing pointed hats and white boots, with indigo-colored boots, surrounded by one person in the middle, wearing brocade clothes and uniforms, full of murderous looks.

"Stop, whoever trespassed in the most important place of the prison?"

The guards in front of the gate of the imperial prison stepped forward to block them, and the Jinyi Qianhu in the middle raised his hand and showed a waist card. The guards retreated when they saw it, and the group of people rushed into the imperial prison without stopping.

Xia Xun had just changed into the prison uniform when the group of people rushed in. Ji Gang turned his head and frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "It turned out to be Chen Tiexing from Dongchang. Why did Chen Tiexing come here?"

Chen Dong arched his hands towards the sky, and said loudly: "By imperial edict, the case of Yang Xu, Duke of the State, will be heard by our East Factory. Because of the seriousness of the case, in order to prevent someone from leaking and colluding with the news, the Factory Superintendent requested an imperial edict and ordered the humble officer Come to the Imperial Prison and keep Yang Xu under strict supervision, and he will be interrogated at any time."

Ji Gang hated secretly in his heart, but couldn't make a sound on his face, so he turned around and said to Xia Xun with a half-smile: "Duke, please!"

Xia Xun smiled slightly, and walked away. Just as he took a step, he shouted like a thunderbolt: "What's the matter, did you hear that Duke Fu was slandered by his ministers and sent to prison?"

Ji Gang was choked up by Chen Dong and had nowhere to vent his anger. As soon as he heard that the case had not yet been tried, someone wisely assigned Xia Xun as "slandered by a traitor". Who is fooling around here..."

Turning his head, he saw Sai Hazhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, rushing in in a hurry. Ji Gang saw that it was him, and immediately swallowed back half of what he had said.Sai Hazhi is a stupid person, if he chokes with him, he will definitely be choked up, but he is his deputy, half a level lower than himself, and there is nothing he can do about him in terms of authority.

"Ah, my lord! Old Sai is late!"

Sai Hazhi stared with a pair of bull's eyes, as if he didn't see anyone else at all, he rushed to Xia Xun, cupped his fists and said, "Master!"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Old Sai, why are you here?"

Sai Hazhi said in a loud voice: "Old Sai was training that group of unworthy grandchildren, and suddenly heard about the news of the Duke, and came back quickly. The Duke is loyal to the court, how could he have evil intentions against the emperor?" Well, this must have been framed by a traitor, Duke, please don’t worry, the emperor will definitely find out the truth and return the Duke with justice.”

Sai Hazhi glared at the prison guards all around, and threatened: "Look clearly, this is Lord Fuguo, I will teach you how to behave everyone of you, Grandpa Sai, whoever dares not to know in front of Lord Fuguo?" Respect, disobedient offender, tell me Lao Sai to know, hehehe, you know my methods, Sai Hazhi!"

"Huh? Master Ji is here too."

After Sai Hazhi finished threatening, he realized that Ji Gang was standing aside with a very ugly face. Sai Hazhi grinned and laughed: "Hahaha, if I had known that Mr. Ji was here, I would not be in a hurry, my lord. He's also an old subordinate of Duke Fu, so of course I don't have to worry about taking care of Duke Guo."

Ji Gang smiled and said: "That is, that is, Old Sai, you have such a bad temper, you really..."

Before Ji Gang finished speaking, Sai Hazhi suddenly found Chen Dong again, immediately threw the back of his head to him, punched Chen Dong affectionately on the chest, and laughed loudly: "Haha, it's you, come too Do you want to see the Duke? We will not see each other for a while. I said you are outrageous, so outrageous. Why have you stopped drinking with me, Lao Sai, since you became the punishment officer of Dongchang? Between Dongchang and Jinyiwei Don't take that nasty thing to heart, they make trouble with them, we'll leave it to us."

Ji Gang acted as if he didn't listen to the stupid man's nonsense, and several cell bosses in Chaozhao Prison yelled angrily: "What are you waiting for, open the door!"

Although it is unlikely that a prison robbery or escape will happen in places such as sky prisons and edict prisons in hundreds of lifetimes, it is still necessary to prevent this in the design. There is also a twenty-foot-long corridor here, and there are iron gates at both ends of the corridor, which can only be opened from the outside.

Xia Xun walked into the corridor, and when he reached the gate inside, the jailer unlocked the iron lock and opened the door, which was the official cell.In the Imperial Prison, a lot of officials are living in at once, and it has gained some popularity, and it is no longer so desolate.

When Xia Xun just walked in, the inmates in the hatchback cells didn't pay attention. It was not meal time, they just regarded it as the head of the prison patrolling. The four guards sandwiched Xia Xun in front of each other. In the back, when passing through two cells, the prisoners in one of the cells noticed that there was another prisoner.

This cell is locked up by the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang Chen Shou. When Chen Shou saw someone being brought in, he wondered which comrade was also locked up and imprisoned. When he took a closer look, he was shocked and rolled over from the couch. , rushed to the fence and looked at Xia Xun in horror, and shouted: "Mr. Fu! You... why did you come in?"

Xie Jin was locked up in the opposite cell. He was lying on the couch bored. When Chen Shou exclaimed, he looked up at Xia Xun's appearance. He quickly turned over and turned his back to the cell door, pretending to be asleep. Ashamed, how dare I meet Xia Xun.

Xia Xun didn't see him, Xia Xun didn't look around the cell at all, he nodded to Chen Shou, and walked over, Chen Shou watched him walk slowly in front of him, couldn't help shivering, and said tragically: "Even Duke Fu was imprisoned... The crown prince is gone!"

At this time, other prisoners had already discovered Xia Xun, and the imprisonment of the leader of the Taizi Party made everyone have the same thoughts as Sun Shou, so how would the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty outside the prison feel? ? ! .
