Tang Ke tidied up a small burden and carried it on his back, left Chanyi Sect and went to the capital, and went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The guards of the Ministry of Punishment were many times stronger than when he escaped from prison last time. Even Tang Ke's skill took some effort to get to the cell where Wu Shouze was being held.

Wu Shouze was imprisoned alone in the innermost cell, and many officers and soldiers were assigned to guard him. Tang Ke went in, knocked down all the guards outside, picked the lock and came to Wu Shouze, and told Wu Shouze that Wu Shouze was killed by himself. Apologize for getting imprisoned.

Wu Shouze was a little more haggard than when the two separated last time, but he was still dressed neatly. It seemed that he had not been tortured or interrogated. Hearing Tang Ke's serious apology to him, he waved his hand with a smile, "Tang Sir, you are serious, why did you implicate me, I was in this criminal prison before I escaped with you, and now I go out for a walk and come back, and the treatment has been improved, and I have a separate cell where I can squat, I should thank you."

Tang Ke looked at him and smiled, "Did the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice interrogate you?"

Wu Shouze shook his head, "I'm also surprised, I haven't even seen Gu Ting and Wang Che these days."

Tang Ke asked again: "Master Wu——"

Wu Shouze raised his hand: "Don't call me Mr. Wu, I'm still some kind of adult, just call me Shou Ze or Ah Ze."

Tang Ke nodded, asked him to call himself Xiao Ke, and asked, "Ah Ze, do you want to go out with me? Go back to Chanyi Sect and hide for a while?"

The tone of Tang Ke asking this question was as natural as if he was asking Wu Shouze what he would like to have for dinner.

Wu Shouze is used to Tang Ke's indifference to his secretive things, he smiled and shook his head, "No, I can trust the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, although sometimes they are stupid, but they are neutral. I will stay here and find Give them the opportunity to give them the content of the previous investigation, and maybe have the opportunity to reverse the case for His Royal Highness Xiangjun."

Tang Ke looked at Wu Shouze seriously: "Thank you for willing to do this for Xiang'er."

Wu Shouze waved his hand, "I am loyal to His Majesty, this is my duty. How is His Highness Xiang Jun?"

Tang Ke briefly described Zhu Wenzhen's situation.

Wu Shouze's expression softened slightly, "I'm sorry, please take care of His Highness Xiangjun."

Tang Ke smiled, "Xiang'er is my man, I should take care of him, I didn't take good care of him before..."

Wu Shouze's face changed when he heard the words, he stared at Tang Ke with his mouth half open, and said in silence for a long time: "You and His Highness Xiangjun are..." Thinking of Zhu Wenzhen's appearance in the small house before, he nodded suddenly, "Ah, I was stupid, sorry sorry."

Tang Ke shook his head and said, "It's okay", "I gave Zhu Changcun the private seal and memorial you gave me earlier."

Wu Shouze didn't understand what Tang Ke meant by "give" for a while, "How, how did you give it?"

"Go directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and hand it over to him." Tang Ke replied casually.

Wu Shouze let out a stiff "Ah", he almost forgot Tang Ke's ability to break into the palace as if no one was there.

Tang Ke said again: "But judging from the current situation, he probably didn't believe what was in there."

Wu Shouze expressed his understanding: "After all, I wrote the memorial, and you submitted it. The two of us just broke into the palace and robbed the Zongzheng Temple..."

Tang Ke laughed, "That's right, so even if you confess the results of the investigation to the Ministry of Punishment, you must be mentally prepared. They probably won't believe you."

Wu Shouze: "I understand, but I have to try."

Tang Ke bid farewell to Wu Shouze and went to the palace again.

The palace was heavily guarded, Zhu Changcun transferred most of the troops he brought back this time to strengthen the defense, and more than half of the flying fish guards and guards were transferred to the East Palace.

Tang Ke squatted on the roof of a side hall, looked at the people surrounded by layers of people outside the East Palace, laughed and shook his head, "His Royal Highness, I am really afraid of death..."

Tang Ke turned around and went to the Imperial Hospital, but did not find Imperial Doctor Zhang, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was not much different from when he left. Zhu Changcun was still guarding Zhu Houxue himself, and he moved the desk directly to the side of Zhu Houxue's bed , and checked all the materials of this case in front of Zhu Houxue.

Zhu Houxue was still pale and lying motionless on the bed. On the table next to his pillow were decoctions and a drainage tube for feeding liquid food. A few palace servants were guarding beside the bed, and there was no sign of Hong Rong.

Tang Ke looked at it, turned and left, first went to Chunfengzui, and then went to Qifeng Bookstore.

Qifeng Bookstore is still operating normally, and every five steps away from the passages inside and outside the bookstore, there is a yamen catcher guarding them.

Such high-standard treatment caused the atmosphere in the bookstore to be very oppressive, neither the customers nor the staff dared to look around or make loud noises.

But to Tang Ke's surprise, even in this situation, it still did not reduce the bookstore's customer flow at all.

As the largest bookstore chain in Jinchao, Qifeng Bookstore really lived up to its reputation.

Tang Ke searched around, but couldn't find Wu Liangsheng, so he went to Tianqingyuan again, and sure enough, he saw that Uncle Wu skipped work again to listen to the music.

Tang Ke went to Wu Liangsheng's cubicle. The young lady who sang was so frightened that he stood in the corner trembling. Wu Liangsheng let him out and told him to keep his mouth tight before he left.

After the compartment door was closed, Wu Liangsheng lazily leaned on the couch, looked at Tang Ke and smiled, "You are now a man of the Jin Dynasty."

Tang Ke sat down next to him, "Uncle Wu is in such a good mood, the capital is in such a mess, why don't you still have time to listen to the music?"

"Is there a problem? Is the world in chaos and the common people will have a hard time? If they want to live, they will naturally listen to the music."

Tang Ke looked at him and smiled, "But it's working time now."

Wu Liangsheng nodded vigorously, "That makes sense. It's working hours, so did you hand in the manuscript on time? If not, hand it in now." He spread his palms and stretched them out in front of Tang Ke.

Tang Ke calmly took out a stack of manuscript paper from his secret pocket and put it in Wu Liangsheng's hand.

Wu Liangsheng stared at him with wide eyes, "Your boy... isn't it? You really came to my place to submit the manuscript?" Suspiciously spread the manuscript paper, glanced at the content on it, and his face became serious, "What is this?"

Tang Ke: "I want to ask the minister to help review the new version of my novel outline."

Wu Liangsheng laughed: "You're so close to watermarking the words 'Prince's Rebellion' on top of it, it still needs to be interrogated, it definitely won't be published."

Tang Ke nodded and asked again: "Then can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"What's the matter? Don't you want to fight the prince?"

Tang Ke bowed his hands to Wu Liangsheng, "My uncle is still my uncle, just guess right."

Wu Liangsheng waved his hands again and again, "Because of you, all the staff in the bookstore took turns to enter the yamen and were interrogated for how many days in a row, do you know? The small house I rented to you was seized, and you haven't paid back the money As for me, I’m here to make trouble for me again. Want me to help you? Don’t even think about it!”

Tang Ke nodded, and asked again: "There is money to make, can you help?"

Wu Liang sat up abruptly, "Help!"
