Cao Ang was fined for one year because of his loss of etiquette in front of him, and this matter temporarily ended.
It is obvious that Emperor Ling took it lightly.
Although Cao Ang was guilty of losing his etiquette today, Emperor Ling focused on the truth and false confessions of Cao Poshi and others. If the confession was true, in order to comfort Cao Ang, the previous failure of Cao Ang's previous failure was revealed; but if the confession was false, Cao Ang would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and would have to peel off three layers of skin if he did not die.
Therefore, the incident of Cao Angjun’s failure to be polite before was not so important in Emperor Ling’s mind.
Moreover, after Cao Ang had such a fight, Emperor Ling must have a lot of formalities in selecting and employing people. At least he should consider it in many aspects to ensure a certain credibility.
In the end, Emperor Ling arranged for the Weiwei Dong Chong, Guanglu Xunding Palace, Fanling, Yongle Shaofu, Yang Biao, Taizhong Doctor, Guo Sheng, and Duan Gui to go.
Dong Chong is a relative of the foreigner, Fan Ling and Duan Gui are Zhang Rang's best friends, Yang Biao, Ding Gong is a famous scholar in the court, Guo Sheng is an eunuch who is close to Empress He and He Jin. The six people can already represent the majority of people, and no one of the six people except Ding Gong will pretend to be Cao Ang.
Ding Gong was Cao Ang’s outer uncle. Ding Gong was arranged to prevent the other five people from framed Cao Ang.
Everyone was ordered to leave, and Cao Ang sat in his seat without saying a word.
Cao Ang is currently trapped in the palace and can do nothing. The result of the matter can only be dependent on Guo Jia and Xun or the other two.
Dong Chong was the sixth person, led by Dong Chong. However, although Dong Chong was a relative of the outside world, he had no reputation and no contribution, and his status was far inferior to the rest of the people.
At this time, Dong Chong was even a peacemaker.
Everyone soon arrived at the Sili School Guard Mansion, Guo Jia, Xun or the other two were waiting in the mansion.
Before leaving, Cao Ang deduced the possible situation with the two. Although it was not a sure win, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, the two of them had never experienced such occasions after all. After Cao Ang left, they became nervous.
When they heard that Dong Chong and his friends arrived, they hurried out to greet him.
The reputation of Guo Jia and Xun Or was not low in Beijing. Xun Or came from a famous family and had the reputation of "the talent of Wang Zuo". Guo Jia even followed Cao Ang to Liangzhou, and those who are flirting call him "Cao Ang's first planner."
Not a lie.
Dong Chong expressed his intention on behalf of the court, and Guo Jia and the others led everyone to the Sili School Guard.
The imperial prison in the Sili School of War is famous, but this is the first time that several people have come.

After entering the yard of the imperial prison, Guo Jia led several people to the east to the questioning hall. This place is nominally a place for interrogation. Of course, when the case is being tried, the eucalyptus has already been settled, and it is just a procedure.
When he arrived at the inquiry hall, Fan Ling said unhappily: "Didn't you go to the imperial prison? Why did you come here?"
Xun Or went forward and replied: "The imperial prison is dark and damp, and dirty and depressing. If you come here, it is better to ask here, so as to avoid the bad luck of imperial prison."
Xun, as a different leader, has the right to exercise his rights when the Sili School Commander is not here.
"Yes! Yes!"
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Dong Chong spoke.
In the hundred-year imperial prison, I don’t know how many people died, but it’s really unlucky. If you can go, don’t go. Dong Chong is neither literary nor martial. The reason why he served as Wei Wei is purely because Emperor Ling wants to use this cousin to balance He Jin.
Dong Chong also knew his ability and was even more unwilling to participate in the struggle between court officials and eunuchs.
"How can you do it? If you don't go to the imperial prison, how can you know what's going on?"
When he heard that Dong Chong agreed with Xun Or, Fan Ling immediately opposed it. He was also an official in the local area, and he knew many of the tricks in the yamen.

"I still can't go down, I can still review it here!"
"Who knows if they will mess with us?"
The rest of the people expressed their opinions and soon stood in the team. Ding Gong and Guo Sheng supported Dong Chong, while Duan Gui supported Fan Ling. At this time, everyone looked at Yang Biao who had not spoken.
Yang Biao pondered for a while before finally supporting Dong Chong.
It is true that Yang Biao and the Cao family have a grudge. Everyone knows that the two families have put aside their past grudges. In the eyes of everyone, Yang Biao is afraid that he will try every means to kill Cao Ang when he comes.
But Yang Biao couldn't say anything about his suffering.
It is true that he hates Cao Ang, but the current situation is that Cao Ang fights with eunuchs. Unless he does not have shame, does not have family reputation, and is like the Xu family in Runan, how can he dare to turn to Zhang Rang?
Moreover, others can defect to the eunuchs, but the Yang family cannot. Yang Biao's great-grandfather Yang Zhen was forced to death by the Central Secretariat Fan Feng, and even the sons were humiliated by the exposed coffin roadside.
If this happens, if the Yang family defected to the eunuch, they would forget their ancestors in a few ways.
Seeing that the four to two was still there, Fan Ling still refused to give up. He shook his sleeves and said, "Since you don't go, Fan Ling goes there by himself. Some things must be seen as true." So he went to the imperial prison alone.
Everyone had no choice but to follow.
Fan Ling is a catfish, he must move. If everyone is unusual, will he be guilty of the emperor's ears?
Seeing that the first plan was not effective, Guo Jia had to step forward quickly and cross Fanling to guide everyone.
Soon everyone arrived in the imperial prison.
Cao Ang had expected this incident and cleared all the torture instruments in the imperial prison, and then asked someone to clean it up again. Although it was still gloomy and dark, at least it was not bloody and smelled foul smell.
I can't hope that the prison is as clean and solemn as a ancestral temple.
As expected, after everyone was admitted to the imperial prison, they saw that although it was dark and there was some dirty air inside, it was not as good as they imagined as the purgatory on earth.
Dong Chong couldn't help asking: "As the saying goes, 'Go to the imperial prison, come in standing, go out sideways', and some people are lucky enough to go out alive. This place is described as the underworld, and gods and ghosts are afraid, so why is it different from the rumors?"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "I'm afraid Wei Wei thought that in the imperial prison, there should be a rustling wind, black fog, torture everywhere, blood flows backwards, and grief endlessly, and ghosts cry and wolves howl."
"Yes! Yes!"

“That was the past, not the present.”
Guo Jia looked at everyone and said, "When my lieutenant took over this position, the scene in the prison was indeed gloomy and ghostly, and it was terrible. But my lieutenant read the books of sages and would not use such cruel methods, so he abolished all the torture instruments that were contrary to nature, and improved the prison environment.
My school captain often said, 'The most test of the ability of officials. First-class officials use their brains to check the case, and second-class officials use their eyes and hands to check the case. Only the most useless official will only think about torture and force confession'."
After hearing this, Dong Chong couldn't help but praise: "It's still Captain Cao who has the ability!"
When Fan Ling saw him, his lungs were almost irritated. You, Dong Chong, came to check whether Cao Ang was tortured, not to praise him, Cao Ang's stinky feet.
So Fan Ling immediately interrupted the two and said to Xun and Guo Jia, "Take us to see the serious offenders of this case."
In order to shirk responsibility, the two nodded and said, "Promise!"
