Chapter 96: Detained in the prison
('After Yue Su finished speaking, he stretched out his palm to Tie Qiu on the side, and Tie Qiu quickly presented Shang Fang's sword in his arms.
Zhu Gongxu was about to answer arrogantly, but Zhao Wen stood up first, pulled Zhu Gongxu's hand, and then rushed forward and cupped his hands and said: "Master Yue holds Shangfang's sword, patrols hunting on behalf of the sky, and in his hand is Shangfang's sword, if His Majesty is here in person, this matter
We all know it."
Zhao Wen knew Yue Su's temper and understood that as soon as Zhu Gongzong shouted, "If you want to take care of me, at least the emperor will issue an order and I will be escorted to the clan's mansion." Master Yue would immediately raise Shang Fang's sword and speak on behalf of the emperor. That's it.
So, why bother with this? [Search for the latest updates at z
Immediately, Zhao Wen said again: "Your Excellency, the case has not been understood yet. The people involved in the case cannot leave, but I don't know how long it will take to understand. I cannot let the prince stay in the Yamen for a day without finishing the case. What if.
In this way, our family will not be able to explain to the prince when we return to the palace."
"Although both parties hold different opinions on this case, our court has concluded that it can be concluded in just one day. Therefore, the prince only needs to stay in the Yamen for one night at most." Yue Su said with certainty.
"If it's just one night, then it's okay. Let's wait until our family returns to the palace and discuss it with the prince. What do you think, sir?" Zhao Wen said.
"That's not necessary. The content of today's court hearing must not be leaked. No one in the courtroom is allowed to leave the yamen. I will send someone to inform the prince, the prince, and Eunuch Zhao, and you will stay together." Yue Su said eloquently.
said.
What? Keep them all! At this point, Zhu Gongzhao became more angry, pulled Zhao Wen back, and said loudly: "Yue Su, I am the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty. What law do you rely on to keep me in the governor's office?"
?Not to mention, I did not instigate Mao and Yan to assassinate Qiu Laosi. Even if I did instigate it, if you want to imprison me and deal with me, it is not something you, the governor's office, can do."
"The governor's office does not have the right to sentence the prince's son, but the court also has regulations. If the prince breaks the law locally, the local government has the right to thoroughly investigate the truth. Now that the case is entangled, the prince insists that it is because of the candied haws sold by Qiu Laosi.
In the middle, he ate a bug, so he gave him a lesson, and Mao and Yan said that the prince wanted to take his life. Who is right and wrong are all empty talk. In this way, prince, let me ask you, you
Did you send anyone to where Qiu Laosi bought the candied haws?" Yue Su said.
"It's my personal eunuch He Lu." This was what Zhu Gongxu had discussed with He Lu when he heard Zhao Wen say that Yue Su was here to arrest someone. Once Yue Su got to this point, He Lu would come forward and insist.
.
"Okay, Tong Zhou, you go to the palace now, take the fire sign from the headquarters, and invite Eunuch He to come to the hall. As for everyone in the hall, the prince, Mao and Yan are temporarily detained in the prison, waiting to be summoned. Eunuch Zhao and others
, please go to the duty room and rest. When He Lu arrives, please go directly to the second hall for questioning. Exit!" After Yue Su gave the order, he turned around and left.
When Zhu Gongxu heard that he was going to be thrown into prison, he kept shouting, "Yue Su... Yue Su..."
But Yue Su ignored him at all, turned around the Nuan Pavilion, and left on his own. No one dared to stop following the governor's orders. After all, this was Lord Yue's territory. A servant came forward and said, "Young prince,
"I'm offended." He escorted Zhu Gongxu away. Even if Zhu Gongxu struggled, how could he survive these guards. Zhao Wen also brought people, but these few were just a drop in the bucket in the governor's yamen, so they were escorted to the back for duty.
house.
Let's talk about Zhu Gongju, Mao and Yan. After they were taken to the prison, they were escorted by the jailer and held separately. Zhu Shizi had never lived in a cell. He was full of complaints and cursed constantly, and the jailer just pretended not to hear.
Of course, the young prince's treatment was different from others. The jailer arranged a single room for him, and there was no one in the surrounding cells. It was extremely quiet. The jailer locked him in without saying a word.
, turned around and left.
Tong Zhou also followed the instructions and took people to the palace to pick up the person. Things went smoothly. As soon as the fire lot arrived, the guard guarding the gate went in and announced the news. The first person to come out was the bookkeeper, who pestered Tong Zhou to ask questions.
Zhou didn't know anything about it, and gave a general account of the situation in the hall, and asked Eunuch He to come, that is, to confirm whether he had really bought candied haws from Qiu Laosi. In order to determine whether the young prince intended to assassinate, or whether he was two
The guard heard wrongly and now framed the prince. After chatting at the door for a while, He Lu also came out and followed Tong Zhou to the governor's Yamen.
All this was seen clearly by a pair of eyes. A boy in the corner followed Tong Zhou and others back to the governor's Yamen, and then hurried to Zou Mansion.
There were three people sitting in the flower hall of Zou Mansion. The one in the middle was naturally Zou Jiaren, and on both sides were his son Zou Feng and the housekeeper Wentian. When the boy ran into the flower hall, there was another boy like him.
Came in a hurry.
The two of them entered the flower hall together. After entering the door, they both bowed and said: "Master, what you asked me to do is done."
Zou Jiaren pointed at the boy following Tong Zhou and asked, "What's going on at the governor's Yamen?"
"Back to my lord, the governor's Yamen sent someone to the palace and took Eunuch He to the Yamen. Because he was far away, I couldn't hear what was said clearly."
"Okay, you go down."
Zou Jiaren waved his hand, and when the boy went down, he said to the other boy, "How are you doing with me over there?"
"The medical officer who was following me first went to the medicine shop to buy some medicinal materials. Later, I went into the shop and inquired about it. He said that it was for blood and qi replenishing, and it was quite expensive. He continued to follow me, and he followed me until the second day.
A small house in Liu Hutong. This place is really bad. There are alleys everywhere, and I almost lost it. When I came back, I left marks along the way, otherwise I might not be able to find it the second time I go.
"The boy said truthfully.
"It was done well. I may ask you to go there again in the evening. First, go to the accountant to pay twenty taels of silver." Zou Jiaren waved his hand and dismissed the boy.
The young man thanked him profusely and bowed down. When he walked away, Zou Jiaren in the flower hall spoke again: "Wentian, you heard what they said, and I also told you the outline of the matter.
What do you think?"
"I think there is nothing wrong with the palace. As long as He Lu and the young prince are killed, Yue Su will not dare to torture the young prince. In the end, it should be over. And the young prince will never admit to himself that he went out of the city with the young master. Isn't he implicated?
When we arrived at Wen Tingsong's place, I began to suspect that it was a trap set by Yue Su to lure the snake out of its hole. But I heard that the place was extremely secretive, so I changed my mind. Yue Su had been planning to assassinate him in Yanshi County.
He thought the people were members of the Dragon Slayer Gang, and he had recently killed many members of the Dragon Slayer Gang in Yanshi County. It is understandable that he assumed Wen Tingsong was the target of the Dragon Slayer Gang. But this is not good for us.
It's bad, once Wen Tingsong comes back to life and tells those things..." When Wentian said this, he shook his head repeatedly.
"You are right, we must not let Wen Ting loose his mouth. But..." Zou Jiaren hesitated and said: "It is really inappropriate to send someone to kill him now. After all, it was only today that Yue Su told me that he would be fine as usual.
Yes, as soon as he finished talking to me, he was killed. Anyone would think of me, let alone Yue Su. If things go wrong and he thinks I am a rebel from the Dragon Slayer Gang, wouldn't it be worse?
.”
Zou Jiaren thought further. He was not afraid of sending people to kill Wen Tingsong to silence him. As long as he did it cleanly and left no evidence, even if he knew it was him who killed him, there was nothing he could do to him. He was afraid that Yue Su would think that he was the one who killed him.
The Dragon Gang, it's one thing to treat a murderer, you have to pay attention to evidence, but when it comes to a rebel, I'm afraid it's better to be in vain than to indulge.
"What I'm worried about is." Wentian nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Otherwise, I'll send someone in at night to have a look. It depends on the situation. It's best to find an opportunity to make some of Wen Tingsong's medicine.
It is normal for people with serious injuries to their hands and feet not to be able to survive."
"That makes sense." When asked about it, Zou Jiaren's eyes immediately lit up and he said: "That's it, make a fuss about the medicine Wen Tingsong drank. It's up to you to decide what medicine to use. We'll call someone tonight.
go."
"Yes, sir."
Tong Zhou took He Lu back to the yamen, and when he turned to the back yamen, he was stopped by Yin Zhu. Yin Zhu said that the master is currently reviewing the case in the second hall, and Eunuch He is here. He will go to the duty room to have tea for the time being, waiting for the summons.
Since the Lord ordered so, Tong Zhou took He Lu to the duty room where there was no one, and asked the servants to take care of him. He was not allowed to go out. The governor's office was so big, and there were dozens of duty rooms, so he definitely couldn't let him
Stay with Zhao Wen and others.
He Lu waited for half an hour. When it was time to have dinner, no one said that Lord Yue had summoned him. Someone just brought the food to him and asked him to eat it slowly. He asked the person who came, and the person only said that they were still in the hall.
When it is the father-in-law's turn, he will pass it on. In short, you can just wait with peace of mind.
At three o'clock in the hour, everyone has to eat, and the prince in the prison also has to eat. However, the food in the prison is really not to the young prince's appetite. Master Yue did not take more care of him and served it because of his identity.
Yes, there is only a bowl of miso soup, a few pickles, and two steamed buns. This is almost the same as Korean food.
When Zhu Gongxu saw the tatters, his nose almost became crooked. He swung his arm and threw him away. He also yelled at the jailer: "Do you know who I am? Give me these, I want to die! Give them to me.
Call Yue Su!"
"My young prince, I know who you are, but I didn't tell you. We really have no other food in the prison. You said, let me go to our adults to get it. You also know our adults' temper. If you are unhappy, you will
It can range from a scolding to a slap in the face, so I really don't dare to remind us adults. It's only for one night, or you can just make do with it..." the jailer said cautiously.
Zhu Gongxu was having lunch when Yue Su came to the door. At that time, he discussed countermeasures and did not bother about eating. Later, he thought he went to Yin'an Palace, so he ended it after saying a few words, saying that he had wanted to be raped by Yue Su.
I got to the Yamen and stayed there all afternoon. Now that I'm in jail again, I'm already hungry.
His stomach was growling, how could you let this pampered prince deal with you? He cursed loudly: "You are a pig, you can't take care of Yue Su's needs, so you can't go out to the restaurant and buy some food and drinks for me!"
"
"Oh..." The jailer nodded, but he didn't move at all.
