Merry character

It turned out that the way down the mountain of Jianmen does not need to go to another mountain first, but directly descends from the mountain where Jianmen is located.It's just that the road is a bit steep.Probably only the best masters will go this way.

The prosperity of the capital is still there, people are coming and going, people are dressed in the latest fashion, and their demeanor does seem to have the grandeur of being an imperial capital.However, probably because I am used to the plain faces of Biecheng, I don't really like the luxurious appearance of the capital.

The carriage crossed the street all the way, and I was about to lower the curtain when a group of people surrounded the front. The street was full of people and vehicles could not move.I turned around and said to the others: "I don't know what happened in front." After speaking, I turned my head and looked outside.Someone happened to pass by in front of the sedan chair, so I hurriedly cupped my hands and said, "Brother, may I ask what happened in front of you?"

The man said: "Yilin Prince's Mansion was found to be treasonous, and a notice was posted in front of it. It will probably be executed in the next few days. Sigh, if a good prince is wrong, what good will come of treason."

"What did you say?" I grabbed the man dressed as a scholar.

"My lord, this has been going on for several days. It has already spread throughout the capital, and you don't even know about it." After speaking, I broke away from my hand, and I squeezed into the crowd in a blink of an eye, and disappeared.

"Don't worry, let's figure it out first." Liu Chongyu said in a deep voice.

I frowned and said, "It's impossible for my uncle's family to rebel."

"It's impossible for them, of course someone framed them." Mei Jiu said.

Kong Yuan's golden eyes flashed: "Are you going to rob prison?"

I stared at Kong Yuan and said, "What can I do if I rob the prison? I saved their life, but they are still innocent."

"If you want to restore their innocence, you can only go to the emperor." Liu Yulan said.

I pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm going to see their current situation first."

"I'll accompany you." Liu Yulan, Mei Jiu and Kong Yuan said at the same time.

I glanced at them, shook my head, and looked at Mr. Tian Que: "Sir, please, let's sneak in." Seeing Mr. Tian Que nodding, I said, "It shouldn't be too late, let's go right away."

***

With the help of Mr. Tian Que's invisibility technique, we easily entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice.As soon as he entered, he heard the prison chief talking about Yilin Wangfu.He said that he would be executed in the future, the family members of the palace were crying badly, and all the female family members were sent to serve as military prostitutes.Then I heard some foul language.A man with a scar on his face showed a lecherous smile, and whispered to another man with lecherous eyebrows beside him, "You have seen the princess of the palace, right? He looks like a water spirit, I don't know It’s a pity to be cheap for those rough people who smell like sweat.”

"Boss is right, if you can taste it first."

"Don't even think about it." The scarred man glared, "You've been discovered, and you can't afford it."

"Hey, I haven't thought about it yet."

I raised my hand and almost punched it, but Mr. Tian Que stopped me just in time.I lost control and said, "Let go of me, I will beat these two perverts to death."

"I have a better way, do you want to listen?" Mr. Tianque said.

I looked at him suspiciously: "What method."

Mr. Tian Que lowered his head and whispered a few words in my ear, and I immediately said, "That's it."

I looked at those two people with pity, and continued to walk towards the prison where the personnel of Prince Yi's Mansion were held.Looking at the row after row, none of them were people from Yilin Palace.This is the first time I have come to this prison, and I don't know where people who have committed such a serious crime as rebellion are generally locked up.I was anxious, Mr. Tianque said: "Come with me."

I whispered, "Sir, do you know where they are being held?"

"Severe criminals will probably be locked in a dungeon."

"Dungeon?"

"En." Mr. Tianque nodded, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull me aside. I was surprised for a moment, and then understood.

A young man in official uniform, accompanied by a guard and a man who looked like a master.I took a closer look at his official uniform, and it seemed that his official position was not low, or rather high.Because his official uniform is only one grade lower than Liu Chongyu's former prime minister's official uniform.

"Follow." Mr. Tianque said.

I didn't ask any further questions, I glanced at the official, and followed him silently.Walking to a wall, the jailer who led the way pressed a certain place on the wall, and then the wall slowly moved away, revealing a door. The jailer opened the door with a key, and behind the door was a downward ladder.A cold breath came from inside.I couldn't help but frown, are the people in the palace locked up in such a ghostly place?Prison is really not a place for people to stay.

There are not many people locked in the underground prison, but everyone looks a little gloomy and terrifying, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. Everyone has beards, and their faces are dark and dirty, and they can't see their original appearance at all. Come.They are about the same as the ghosts of hell, no, they are more dead than ghosts.

On the upper floor, some people passed by, and there were a few people who complained about their grievances, but here, everyone only glanced at the people who came, and some even didn't even glance at them, either lying down or sitting in prison.

After passing through many cells, the adult finally stopped, and they stopped in front of a cell that looked different from other cells and was sealed all around.

I can't help but grab Mr. Tianque, I'm afraid to see a once luxurious person now living a life that is not as good as a pig.

When the door opened with a clang, the face inside was still neat and tidy, and the well-dressed uncle came to Wang Qirui, which made me feel relieved.It seems that Qi Zheng did not torture him, and the jailers did not neglect him.There are beds and quilts, tables, washbasins, and dishes.There is even a chess board.This is not like the emperor's treatment of a criminal who committed rebellion and treason.I looked at Mr. Tian Que, he pointed to the official, I understood, he wanted me to see what the official was going to do.

He saw the man bow his hands to King Yilin, and then sat down opposite his uncle.The jailer had already retreated spontaneously, and the guards around the official seemed to be planning to close the door, so Mr. Tian Que and I hurried in.

Now, the situation in the room is that the official and King Yilin are sitting opposite each other, and Mr. Tianque and I are standing behind Yilin.Next to the official stood the guard and the master.

The official didn't speak, but King Yilin spoke first: "What is the purpose of Mr. Zhang's visit this time?"

That Master Zhang paused, and said: "The emperor has already decreed that all the men in the palace will be executed in the future, and the female family members will be turned into military prostitutes."

King Yilin was turning a chess piece in his hand. Hearing Mr. Zhang's words, his hand stopped immediately. After a long time, he heard him speak again, but his tone was very flat, as if he was talking about eating and drinking tea: "Your Majesty, this way, that way. The lives of all of us in the palace are at stake."

"My lord, I believe His Majesty won't really do anything." Mr. Zhang said humanely.

I was immediately puzzled, the matter was not as it was said outside, King Yi Lin certainly did not rebel, and Qi Zheng himself knew it, so why did he do this?

"Master Zhang, tell the emperor a word for me."

"My lord, please speak."

"He's disabled."

Master Zhang's eyes trembled, and he said: "I dare not tell the emperor about this."

"Just say I said it."

"That can't be done." Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "The emperor just couldn't let go of the pain of losing his mother for a while, and I believe it will get better soon."

"My lord Zhang, why do you think the emperor convicts me of treason that is nothing?"

After pondering for a while, Mr. Zhang said: "Emperor Dongyun is eyeing my great Qi. Sooner or later, he will invade with his army. But my Daqi lacks a general who can compete with Emperor Dongyun. Originally, Prime Minister Liu is both civil and military. The lion who was strong enough to resist Emperor Dongyun, but unfortunately, the prime minister left early. Not long ago, for some reason, the third son Liu, who was quite like his father, also resigned. Although Daqi is full of talents, the thesis is free. He is invincible, but he is a little inferior in martial arts." After a pause, "The lower officials dare to guess that the emperor wants to recall the old King Yilin."

Recall the old Yi Linwang?my maternal grandfather?Ten years without a trace, where did he go?

"Master Zhang, your guess is reasonable. However, I have to tell you that this is definitely not the emperor's intention." King Yilin put the chess piece in his hand on a position on the chessboard, and said, "Master Zhang, think about it carefully. I thought, from the time I was imprisoned to the day after tomorrow, it took only six or seven days. My father and king hadn’t been seen for ten years. Maybe he was far away overseas, and he didn’t have time to learn about me. Be back in a few days."

"This..." Mr. Zhang was speechless for a while, and said for a while, "I thought that the old prince might live not far from the capital, but I didn't expect that he was far away overseas. Wang Ye, what is the purpose of the emperor this time?"

King Yilin: "It's better that you don't know."

Master Zhang's face became serious, and he glanced left and right at the two people around him: "Today's conversation must not be leaked."

That Mr. Zhang left.The door has to be locked outside, but... I couldn't help but look at Mr. Tian Que.He immediately understood what I meant, and said to me: "You are here, I will go out and have a look, and I will be here in a while."

I nodded, as long as Mr. Tian Que said there was no problem, then there is no need to worry about the locks in the prison.

After Mr. Tianque left, I continued to use illusion to become invisible.What if the sudden appearance frightens uncle.After thinking about it, I first sat down across from him.Uncle stared at the chess pieces on the board, and gradually frowned.I glanced at him strangely, and also looked at the pieces on the chessboard. It was nothing special, just an ordinary game of chess.

After a while, my uncle still didn't change his posture. I couldn't help it if I wasted like this. I had to show up and ask Qi Zheng what purpose he had.

I was about to show up when my uncle suddenly looked over. I sat nervously and did not dare to move, but he lowered his head again.Didn't you find me at all?I cleared my throat and said, "Uncle."

King Yilin paused for a moment, then raised his head suddenly.I continued: "Uncle, it's me, Liu Yuyan. I'm using the invisibility illusion now, so you can't see me." I removed the illusion while talking.

King Yilin saw me shocked for a moment, and suddenly said harshly: "Why are you here, leave quickly. I don't need you here."

I was stunned for a while, looking at my uncle with a cold face, I was a little puzzled. Generally speaking, shouldn't he be moved?Why such a look.After being silent for a while, I said, "Uncle, I came in by stealth, but I didn't see it. There is another person outside who knows the same invisibility as me, and is even more powerful. You don't have to worry about me being discovered."

King Yilin frowned and looked at me for a while, then suddenly sighed: "You hurry up. Don't meddle in the affairs of the palace."

"Whoever meddles if I don't intervene." I said firmly.

King Yilin looked at me, and said for a while: "You'd better not get involved in this matter."

"Uncle, I heard what you and Mr. Zhang said just now, and now I just want to know what is Qi Zheng's purpose in accusing you of treason?"

"..."

"Uncle, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Qi Zheng directly."

"Don't go." King Yilin said sternly.

I froze for a moment and said, "Then uncle, tell me."

"You... well, do you know that Qi Zheng did this for you."

"Me?" I was taken aback, "Is it related to me?"

"That's right. Although few people in the court know Qi Zheng's thoughts on you, there are people in the harem who know. The two queens who have been relegated to the cold palace, and the queen mother. Although the other concubines don't know, they probably do. Someone knows. You'd better not show up now, if you are set up by someone with a heart to harm the country and the people, the crime of harming the emperor and the lord will be broken. It is not a good thing for the emperor or Daqi."

I suddenly felt a little hard to digest.I didn't listen to what uncle said later, I just kept thinking about the meaning of what uncle said just now.Is Qi Zheng doing this to my uncle's family just to lure me?And the reason that drew me out is...

No, this is incredible!Probably others have misunderstood.By the way, Mr. Tian Que killed the Empress Dowager. When he went to Jianmen last time, Qi Zheng was about to kill Mr. Tian Que. Maybe the purpose this time is Mr. Tian Que.It's just that he has nothing to do with Mr. Tian Que, so he wants to start with me.In any case, it is inevitable to find Qi Zheng.But no matter what, it is inevitable to find Qi Zheng.
