In the early court, Shen Lin did not mention Chu Rujin's death in prison. Seeing that he did not mention it, Dali Temple Minister Xing Ye did not say a word.

Ye Danran was born in a merchant family, he is the eldest son of the Ye family, and now the Ye family has a close relationship with the Jiangdong defenders. During the imperial examination, Su Jinhuai deliberately promoted him, and Lu Zuoxian also wanted to show his favor to Jiangdong, Ye Danran was able to stand in the court, regardless of the death of Chu Rujin Shen Lin didn't intend to mention whether he had anything to do with him or not in front of civil and military officials.

Qi Lingyun, the censor in the palace, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have this performance."

Ming Wanzhao took a look behind Mian, and besides Shen Lin, only Qi Lingyun was an official from a poor family handpicked by Su Jinhuai himself.

"What's the matter?"

Qi Lingyun said: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to strictly examine the case of buying and selling young children, but the jailer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to report this morning, and the prisoner has committed suicide in fear of crime!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the hall changed their expressions.

Ming Wanzhao's expression darkened, and he said, "Shen Aiqing, is this true?"

Shen Lin came out without changing his face, and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. Not long after I received the news, I was planning to go back to the Yamen to investigate. Since this case has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, I don't need to bother the Yushifu." gone."

Before Ming Wanzhao could speak, Qi Lingyun said in a cold voice: "Since Mr. Shen intends to investigate the case, why didn't he say a word about Ye Danran's private visit to the prison last night? Why didn't he ask His Majesty to order him to be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation!"

Ye Danran was sweating like rain.

When Qi Lingyun mentioned the matter of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night, he felt chills all over his body, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night, but the death of the prisoner has absolutely nothing to do with my minister!"

Shen Lin also said: "I just received the news this morning, and I haven't had time to go back to the Yamen to check it out. Besides, Mr. Ye has never been convicted, and everything is inconclusive. Even if I want to go to trial, I should wait until I go back to the Ministry of Punishment to see the corpse. The jailer will talk."

Ye Danran breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Lingyun also said: "Master Ye went to the big prison last night, and news came this morning that the prisoner committed suicide in fear of crime. If Mr. Ye is really innocent, you might as well explain it in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Why did you visit the prison in private last night? thing?!"

Having said this, Ming Wanzhao twitched his fingertips lightly, and said slowly: "Ye Aiqing, I privately see that the Ministry of Punishment has re-offended the rules. Since Qi Yushi has doubts, let me tell you, last night you were in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. What did you do?"

Ye Danran smiled wryly, lifted his official robe and knelt on the ground, and said: "I went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice last night, I..."

"The minister saw her because of a private matter."

Merchants value profits, and literati despise them. Ye Danran is the son of a merchant, and most courtiers don't want to see him. At this time, they are whispering, most of them are watching the theater.

Ye Danran sighed softly and said: "This girl seems to have an old friend with my father. I just wanted to see if it was her. I saw her last night, and it was only half a stick of incense. I have no intention of harming anyone's life. What's more, I have no intention of committing a crime, so I hope Your Majesty will learn from you!"

After saying that, he took his official hat, put it on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.

"I have a clear conscience, but rely on the review of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Your Majesty." Qi Lingyun said again, "Mr. Shen has been defending everything just now. In order to avoid his favoritism and cover-up, I request that the case be investigated and handled by the Yushifu. The Yushifu can pick up all officials. Since Ye Daren is in the official position, you can come if you want to." Follow the rules."

"Qi Yiqing! You are absurd!" Shen Lin was furious, and scolded with a flick of his sleeves: "I have been an official, and I have never tried favoritism in adjudicating cases! Even if I want to investigate, I have to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"okay."

Ming Wanzhao interrupted the dispute quietly.

When the officials heard the sound, they knelt down one after another.

Ming Wanzhao slept late last night, and he often went horse racing in the past two days. Hearing their quarrel for a long time, he inevitably got a headache. His eyes glanced at Qi Lingyun coldly and indifferently, and then said: "Mr. Shen has been an official for many years, so I naturally trust you. As for I personally tried the case of Ye Aiqing, even though the prisoner died, the case still needs to be investigated, and the Ministry of Punishment will still handle it."

The ministers should be, and there is no objection.

After the morning break, Shen Lin and Xing Ye walked side by side.

Xing Ye looked at Shen Lin, who still had an unsightly complexion, and said softly, "Su Gong has accepted you as a student in his life, and even entrusted him with a heavy duty in the Ministry of Punishment, but Qi Yiqing is also Su Gong's confidant, so it makes no sense to arrest him today." You and Marven Ye won't let go."

Shen Lin was usually reticent, but he didn't show anger at this moment, but his face was cold, and he scoffed: "Who knows what he's crazy about."

"You also calm down the fire." Xing Ye said, "Your Majesty is wise, and you will not trust him."

"If it weren't for this, I would have taken off my official hat just like Ye Wenyu." Shen Lin felt dissatisfied, and said, "It's just that Jinru's death will make it difficult to investigate further!"

In the past, Shen Lin strictly guarded against the Lu party, so any news in the prison would be passed on to him immediately, but it happened that Ye Danran was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last night, and the news was hidden from the prison, so much so that this morning It caught him off guard.

Just as he was talking, Su Jingci walked over unhurriedly, put his sleeves on his sleeves and said with a warm smile: "My lords, I'm in a hurry."

Xing Ye looked at him and asked, "Yunyu, what do you mean?"

Su Jingci said with a smile: "Just now when I came out of Chaolu Palace, I saw Qi Yiqing and Qiao Leping walking together. When did the two get along so well?" Shen Lin was taken aback, "Qiao Zihan, he..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Jingci had already moved forward.

Xing Ye looked at his back with a pensive look on his face.

Ming Wanzhao interrogated Ye Danran alone for a long while before letting him go back, just when Qi Yanxing came to ask if he still had to go to the horse training station today, seeing the emperor lazily leaning on the couch, he hesitated and said, "Take a rest today?"

"Well, I won't go." Ming Wanzhao stroked his forehead, closed his eyes and said, "The Ye family is the head of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. Chu Rujin once served as a concubine for Ye Danran's father. I don't know why after home, he entered the flower building. Ye Danran said that his father was so angry that he went there the next year. Ye Danran is a gentleman, and he doesn't go to the building if he doesn't get close to women. Jinru didn't know until he entered the prison of the Ministry of punishment. We met in private."

Chu Rujin refused to give birth to a child, and the Jinyan Tower was once created by the Lu family. She guessed that this woman was unwilling because of her family's downfall. Whoever wanted to get close to the Lu family for so long had no chance of revenge, and wasted her life in vain.

"Ye Danran was out of luck." Qi Yanxing said, "But Qi Lingyun went after Shen Lin this morning."

Ming Wanzhao covered his lips and yawned, sat up lazily, opened his eyes, the indifference between his brows and eyes returned, and he said: "Qi Lingyun and Shen Lin were both promoted by Su Jinhuai, today he wants to win over Shen Lin." Lin's authority, the Ministry of Criminal Justice's duties are unfair, and Shen Lin will lose all prestige in the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the future."

"He has gotten close to Qiao Zihan recently." Qi Yanxing said, "Qi Lingyun is also from a humble family, but he is different from Shen Lin. Shen Lin is a real commoner, and he is convinced by the name of Su Jinhuai student. The Qi family has long since fallen. There is only one daughter left, who has become a prostitute among the rich and powerful, and Qi Lingyun takes her mother's surname, so it is hard to say who her father is."

Speaking of it, Qi Lingyun's background is not as good as Shen Lin's background.

Ming Wanzhao laughed, with a frost-like coldness between his brows, "Then he has turned over now."

"Unfortunately, not enough.

Lu Yunchuan led his army to the west of Lingxi, but because of the military situation, he didn't dare to delay. He traveled all the way day and night under the stars and the moon, and took water from the Minlan River to the east of the Jiangdong. .

He could still hold on, but the one with the ballista behind him had already been dropped by a certain distance.

Looking at the Xinru City in front of him, Lu Yunchuan didn't feel any excitement to go home, so he ordered the army to stop.

You Jin rode his horse, stopped beside Lu Yunchuan and said: "Your Majesty, the army is tired, and now it has reached the west of the mausoleum, and in two days we will arrive at Yuanlu City, why don't you let them rest and wait for the train behind us. "

"Camp outside the city." Lu Yunchuan said, stroking Qianlixue's mane.

You Jin got the order to retreat.

Lu Yunchuan didn't wear a crown, and his hair was tied behind his head. He got off the horse, with a knife on his back, and a rein in his hand. He didn't look like a rich and precious son, but a knight-errant in the world.

He was a little farther away from the camp of the army, and tied Qianlixue to the tree, letting it graze, while he sat under the tree with his knife in his arms, with the wind blowing his face, when he raised his head, he could see the sky through the gaps in the leaves star.

When he first arrived in Yijing, Lu Yunchuan was full of displeasure. He felt bored seeing the lights of thousands of houses at night.At that time, he was obsessed with the starry night in Lingxi, but felt that everything in the bustling capital was not to his liking.

Now I ride my horse back to my hometown, but my heart is always hanging in Yijing.

Looking at the sky full of stars and bright moon is also boring. He once saw the magnificent scenery in the world in Yijing, and he never forgot it. Its brilliance is better than the thousands of stars in front of him.

The little emperor was in poor health and liked to be aggressive, he didn't know if he would sleep soundly at night, and if he had eaten on time on weekdays, after the farewell, Lu Yunchuan thought about it, and the person in his dream that he could recall when he closed his eyes was him.

Thus, in the once unpleasant dim lights of Yijing, there was an extra person who was looking for him thousands of times in Lu Yunchuan's dream.

When You Jin came to look for Lu Yunchuan with food, he saw him staring at the night in a daze, paused for a moment, and said: "After traveling for so long, my son, eat something

West. "

It was nothing more than dry rice cakes, Lu Yunchuan didn't pick any, just took it casually, so absent-minded.

"The prince is going home." You Jin said solemnly, "It seems that he is not happy."

Lu Yunchuan pinched the half of the sesame seed cake and said, "It's all on my mind."

This world is not stable, the country is not level, and the heaven and earth are uncertain, so his Majesty cannot sit in Yijing.This time leaving Beijing, even though he was worried and reluctant, he had to be willing.

Lu Yunchuan looked up at the bright moon and stars, and said softly: "Although the clouds gather and disperse, I can't help it, but the wind is like me, always by his side."

You Jin silently looked at Lu Yunchuan's soft expression, and knew who he was thinking about.

"He is the shining sun, who should shine brightly in the mountains and rivers."

Lu Yunchuan wiped away the cake crumbs on his hands, closed his eyes and said with a smile: "As for me, it doesn't matter if I'm a shield against foreign enemies or a knife to open up territories." "

His Azhao will sit in a high position above ten thousand people, shining brightly, and the world will submit to him.
