Chapter 62: Prison Disaster (Part 2)
Liu Yixuan and Ling'er were pushed and yelled to the lobby of Junzhou Prefecture. It was not the first time that Liu Yixuan had a conversation about the ceremony. He had made trouble in the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture, so why not worry about the lobby of Junzhou.
When the people of Junzhou City saw that the prefect arrested the people, they felt that the "Porcelain Appreciation Conference" was useless, and they followed the officials to the government office to watch the fun. Since in ancient times, incidents such as trial and execution were open to the masses, the effect of law and justice was achieved in typical education of fooling people, so the Junzhou office was also crowded with people.
Liu Yixuan entered the lobby, but saw Zhang San also in the hall. Zhang San hurried over to greet him: "Young Master, why have you been invited by the prefect?"
Liu Yixuan said: "I was not invited, but caught by him. This dog official has long been eyeing us. By the way, what are you doing here?"
"I don't know why, but I was called by the prefect in a confused manner, saying that the villain wanted to testify against someone." Zhang San said as he looked innocent, showing his grievance.
"Certification? Oh, I understand. I guess this dog official has sent someone to follow us long ago. He even knew about me staying in your store for one night."
"What? You mean that the prefect wants me to testify against the young master. I don't dare to do this?"
"What are you afraid of? I didn't do anything bad, so you can tell the truth!"
The two of them chatted in the hall with one word, and ignored Wang Menghai, the prefect of Junzhou who was sitting in the hall. Seeing that the two of them met again like old friends, as if nothing had happened, how could they tolerate them? They slapped the awestruck "splash" and were so shocked that they were numb and shouted: "Who is in the hall? Let's sign up!"
Zhang San was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "Report to Master, the villain Zhang San, it's the west of the city..."
"Go and go, I didn't ask you!" Wang Menghai waved to him, signaled him to get out, and asked Liu Yixuan and Ling'er, "I'm asking you what you two are! Who are your surnames and names? Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
Liu Yixuan glanced at him with a slant, and said, "My master, I didn't steal or kill anyone. Why do you want to worship you, the dog official?"
"Bold! How dare you despise me in the court? It seems that you want to give you some excellence!" Wang Menghai not only saw that he did not bow down, but also made a point of reason and planned to punish him.
"Bah! You dog official, you arrested me without any discrimination. If you don't even have a charge, you will be punished by me. You are obviously a dog official who does not understand the king's law and abuses his power!"
Liu Yixuan cursed this and made the onlookers applaud. Wang Menghai has been an official in Junzhou for many years and has accumulated a lot of public resentment. These people have long had resentment, but they just dared not speak out.
"Hmph, do you still want to be accused? You have an accusation of a prince of Junzhou trying to rebel, which is a tyrannical rebellion. Isn't this charge enough to hit you?"
"I was invited by the old prince to attend the 'Porcelain Appreciation Conference'. All the people in the city have seen me, so how could I have a private message?"
"Don't make a quibble, I ask you, are you the son of Liu Anguo, the first-rank prime minister of the dynasty?"
"My master, I will not change my name or surname. Liu Xiangguo is my father!"
"That's all. As a key member of the capital, your father actually asked you to make friends with the vassal kings privately. According to my Song Dynasty's laws and regulations, this is the crime of rebellion!"
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan sneered and asked again: "Who told you that my father asked me to make friends with the prince of Junzhou? I ran out of the capital without knowing it!"
"Hmph, the child of Huangkou dares to argue. If it weren't for your father's instructions, how could you have gone to Junzhou to visit the old prince? You stayed in a wilderness village shop at night and pretended to be a Taoist priest. It was obvious that you wanted to hide your eyes and ears. Do you think this official didn't know?"
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan was angry and hated. It turned out that he was targeted by this dog official as soon as he arrived in Junzhou. Even he had learned that he had disguised himself in the county prince's mansion. It seemed that this dog official came prepared, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape for the moment, so he had to say:
"I came to Junzhou to visit the prince because I wanted to ask the old prince for a painting. I disguised myself as I went to the prince's mansion because I didn't want to reveal my identity. I didn't come to make friends at all. Don't blame a good person without any evidence!"
"Haha, you came to Junzhou to inquire about a painting with the old prince? What kind of painting?" Wang Menghai also knew that Xiang Zhonghui loved antique calligraphy and painting. Hearing Liu Yixuan said this, he wanted to know the inside story.
Liu Yixuan originally wanted to tell the truth, but considering that the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was secretly given to Xiang Zhonghui by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Xiang Zhonghui has always regarded it as a treasure, and few people in the outside world know that if he leaked it easily, he would not only let Xiang Zhonghui down on his trust in him, but also afraid of causing any trouble to this painting. He had no choice but to say: "This painting is a treasure of the past. You can't tell others, and you won't tell you if you ask me!"
"Hahaha, do you think I will believe your sweet words? Don't fool me with some lies, and honestly explain your father's affair with the prince, otherwise, don't blame me for his methods!"
"Tell your sister! Didn't I say that, my father didn't know that I came to Junzhou, how could he have an affair with the prince? If you don't believe me, please send someone to deliver a letter to our mansion. My father definitely didn't know that I came to Junzhou!"
"You dare to be stubborn. I have reported this to Master Zhu. I think the old master has reported to the emperor at this time, and I am afraid that if I can't pass the imperial envoy will come to investigate tomorrow. I advise you to explain honestly, so as not to suffer from physical pain!"
Liu Yixuan felt a little cold when he heard this. If others knew about this, there might be a turnaround. Master Zhu has always been in a quarrel with his father and tried to frame his father five times and three times. If he got this news, he would definitely spare no effort to frame him.
"It's over. This time I'm really a 'scammer'. If the old thief knew, he would definitely write to my father's book. If it was broken, it would be a big disaster this time!" Liu Yixuan had no idea when he heard that this matter had been reported to the capital.
"Hey, I'm asking you what I'm asking? You're not honest about it!" Wang Menghai saw him standing in a daze, ignored him and asked him again.
"There is nothing to explain. If this matter reaches the capital, wait for the imperial envoy to come and I will explain it!" Liu Yixuan knew that it was useless to tell him. Since he was deliberately framed, you would not be able to wash it even if you jumped into the Yellow River. If your father knew the news, he would definitely find a way to save him. At this time, he had to leave it to fate.
Wang Menghai didn't think so. He also hoped to ask about the case before the imperial envoy arrived, so as to make a contribution and make the official bigger. He quickly said, "Bold and unlucky people, I asked, how dare you push and shirk your words? What do you say when the imperial envoy comes before explaining it. It is obvious that you despise me and beat me!"
Several officers rushed up and pulled Liu Yixuan. Liu Yixuan struggled and cursed, "You dog official, you must beat me to you before you can be satisfied, right? Be careful that you will fall into my hands in the future!" Several officers were about to hold him down, but they saw Sun Wanli hurriedly running in from outside the mansion.
"Master, the old master has sent another letter, you might as well take a look!"
Wang Menghai took the letter and opened it, scanned the letter, then looked up at Liu Yixuan and Ling'er, and then said, "Please take these two people to prison for a while, and give up the court later!" It was exactly: I'm going to suffer a pity, and I'll save my life with a book! I'll know the future, and wait for the following!
