Chapter 42: Wait and see what happens

When she first heard that her father had come up with the idea, Ruan Aoyue was quite excited, but when she heard her father's idea, she was extremely disappointed. She didn't expect that her father's method was this, and he was so humble.

Ask her to beg Yue Su, how can she open her mouth? The reason why she values ​​Yue Su is that she likes Yue Su's character and his righteousness. Especially in this aspect, he is very similar to that person.

But looking at her father's pitiful look, Ruan Aoyue couldn't refuse and could only nod her head and said: "Father, don't worry. I will tell my husband when I go back. Let him find a way to save you."

"That's good, that's good..." Ruan Zhenmei took her daughter's hand and held it tightly, "Father's love for you is not in vain. It was my fault that happened last time. You must tell Bingyan properly when you go back.

Let him not take it to heart. His father will always recognize his son-in-law."

"Yes, father. I will definitely bring the words to you." Ruan Aoyue nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Mei'er's voice suddenly sounded outside the prison, "Hey... Tieqiu, why are you here?"

"Mei'er..." Tie Qiu's voice was even more startled than Mei'er, "Why did you come to the prison of the Criminal Department? I was ordered by Lord Feng to deliver food to my father-in-law."

"I came here with my wife. Look, Li Haoquan is also here," Mei'er said.

"Madam came to see my father-in-law, how did you know about it?" Tie Qiu asked curiously.

"I just accompanied the young lady to visit the master's house, and saw that there were all officers and soldiers there. After asking, I found out." Mei'er said.

"The lady is inside now." Tie Qiu asked.

Er nodded.

"Then let the madam and the father-in-law chat first, and I will go in later." Tie Qiu said.

Ruan Aoyue heard clearly from inside and estimated the time. It was already time to eat, and her father must be hungry. So she said loudly: "Tie Qiu, bring the food in."

"Yes, madam." Tie Qiu agreed from outside, opened the cell door and walked in.

He held a food box in his hand. After coming in, he bowed and said, "See you, my father-in-law, and I've met my wife."

"No need, come here." Ruan Aoyue waved to Tie Qiu.

Tie Qiu came over and knelt down and opened the food box. There were two dishes and a bowl of rice inside. The food was not good, but it was definitely better than the food in the prison. There was a fish and a plate of fried meat with garlic moss.

This is the working meal of Lord Shuyue, Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Ruan Aoyue took out the food with her own hands, wiped the chopsticks, handed it to her father, and said: "Father, I think you are hungry too, please eat some."

Ruan Zhenmei was really hungry, but she just had no appetite. Who could be in the mood to eat now that she was like this? But she had to accept her daughter's wishes. She took the chopsticks, took two bites at will, and then put them aside.

At this time, Aoyue turned to look at Tie Qiu and said, "Tie Qiu, you go back first."

"Yes, madam." Tie Qiu obeyed the order and walked out. He greeted Mei'er and Li Haoquan outside the prison, and then left alone. When he returned to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, he had to report to Yue Su.

When Tie Qiu went out and closed the door, Ruan Aoyue said: "Father, my husband still cares about you. I will never keep any unpleasant things in my heart, otherwise I won't be able to ask someone to bring you food."

"Oh..." Ruan Zhenmei said with a sigh: "I was also confused at the beginning, and I believed in the villain's words, and that's why I ended up in this situation. Now I regret it. I'm really sorry for Bingyan..."

"Father, the past is over. Don't mention it anymore. Since your husband doesn't care about it, why do you always blame yourself? Father, you are eating something now. The food will be cold after a while." Ruan Aoyue said softly.

said.

"My father can't eat anymore..." Ruan Zhenmei shook her head and said.

"Father, I know how you feel now, but don't worry, your husband will definitely find a way to rescue you. I don't know how many days this case will be tried. Don't let you starve before the trial is over. Listen to your daughter.

, eat your food first."

Seeing her daughter's earnest persuasion, Ruan Zhenmei picked up the rice again, picked up her chopsticks, took a few bites of the food, and finished the meal.

After her father finished eating, Ruan Aoyue said softly: "Please stay here with peace of mind. My daughter will go to see her husband and ask him to find a way to rescue you."

"Okay, okay..." With her daughter's words and the lunch delivered by her son-in-law, Ruan Zhenmei felt relieved and nodded repeatedly.

Ruan Aoyue stood up, comforted her father a few more words, and then walked out of the cell door. The cell door was locked again. Ruan Aoyue took Mei'er and Li Haoquan out of the prison and got into the car again. The driver asked: "Madam, go now

Where?"

"Go..." Ruan Aoyue was about to say, 'Go to the main hall of the Ministry of Justice', but as soon as the words came to her lips, she took them back. She always felt that there was something wrong with asking Yue Su so directly. She thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "First of all,

Go back home."

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment and the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment are in the same courtyard. When outsiders enter the prison, they have to go through the gate of the Tianlao outside. Tie Qiu is also considered as half an insider. If you walk inside, there will be no obstruction. You can directly "insert" back to Yue Su from the back.

After checking in and entering the room, he told Ruan Aoyue about Ruan Zhenmei's visit.

Yue Su did not inform Ao Yue about this matter because he didn't know how to talk to his wife. At this moment, he was thinking about what to say after returning home so that he could make her worry less. Unexpectedly, she already knew about it.

Now that he knows, what should he do? There is a strong chance that his wife will come to beg him. He is his wife’s biological father after all. Yue Su sent Tie Qiu out and paced around the room, but he still couldn’t think of a perfect wife.

Good idea.

Others just want to see him bending the law for personal gain. As long as he does this, his reputation will be ruined, and how will the emperor regard him? Furthermore, he has made the matter bigger. Wei Guangwei, Feng Quan and others are betting on him.

He was imprisoned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the same crime of accepting bribes, and the father-in-law was also charged with concealing military information in the border town and deceiving the emperor. If he was released for personal gain, how would the others be dealt with? This was a joint trial of the three judicial divisions, and at least the officials present in the courtroom were not less than

Ten, so many pairs of eyes watching, how can I save my father-in-law?

At first, he came up with this idea out of anger and dragged everyone in Wei Guangwei's group into it, but when things came to a head, he felt that he wasn't very good at it either.

Things were just as Yue Su expected. Before his trial could begin, someone had already set their sights on him.

Wei Zhongxian's residence.

"Father, a spy just reported that Yue Su's wife Ruan has gone to the Penal Department prison, but did not go to the Penal Department Yamen to see Yue Su. Instead, she returned to Shuntian Mansion. The child has sent someone to inquire and check Ruan.

What did I say to Ruan Zhenmei in prison?"

Eunuch Wei returned home after disbanding the dynasty and ordered Tian Ergeng to send spies out to inquire about Yue Su's every move, including keeping an eye on the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Dongchang's policemen are known to be impenetrable, and their people are nowhere to be found. Ruan Aoyue's visit to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was immediately discovered, and Tian Ergen was notified immediately. Tian Ergen rushed over immediately and reported to Eunuch Wei.

After Wei Zhongxian heard this, he pulled his old face like a donkey's face, and finally "revealed" a bit of Yan Su. Madam already knew that this matter would be easy to handle. Tonight, there will be some wind blowing on the pillow. He will not start tomorrow.

I want to see how he plans to punish his father-in-law!"

Tian Ergeng said from the side: "Father, this Yue Su is too cunning. I never thought that he would use the trick of taking advantage of the enemy and drag Wei Guangwei, Feng Quan and the others into the water. If these people were beaten by Yue Su,

If it falls, our strength will be greatly reduced."

"I know this. It was a miscalculation on my part. I didn't expect Yue Su to have such a good deed. If I knew this, I might as well let the censor directly intervene. If I make a wrong move, the rest of the chess will be difficult to play. Now I just have to

We can see how Yue Su will respond. If he really dares to kill Wei Guangwei and the others and save Ruan Zhenmei's life, I will completely ruin his reputation." Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Father, I don't think Yue Su will do this, but I'm afraid that he won't kill any of them, and will all be dismissed from their posts, so I'll stop here. In this case, Ruan Zhenmei will still go home, and we will really suffer heavy losses here.

." Tian Ergen said.

"He thought about it. The amount of bribes taken by this group of people was huge, and Ruan Zhenmei also had a crime of concealing the truth about the border town and deceiving the emperor. Didn't Yue Su enforce the law like a mountain? If Ruan Zhenmei was not sentenced to death, those who had been beaten by him in the past would

How can he justify himself to a retired official? Just talking about the official's saliva can drown him! I will take the risk this time. If he doesn't guillotine Ruan Zhenmei, I will never let him go!" Wei Zhongxian said harshly again

.

"But... if he kills Ruan Zhenmei with a guillotine, Wei Guangwei and the others will also die..." Tian Ergen said with some helplessness.

"If he can really give me a blow, we will temporarily admit defeat in this round, hide our strength and bide our time, give him all the power, and let him toss it out on his own. I have the support of the Holy Lady, and there is nothing he can do to me. As long as I have

You and Dongchang are together, and I will never be afraid of him. When he reveals his flaws, we will settle the general ledger with him. I have endured it for so many years, do I still have to wait two more years?"

"Yes, foster father."

Wei Zhongxian is definitely a flexible and flexible person. When his power is weak, he can pretend to be a grandson. When his power is strong, he will stand up and kill his enemies without mercy.

Just as he was talking, You Fanzi ran to the door of the flower hall, knelt on one knee and said: "I would like to report to the Governor, Mr. Tian, ​​that my subordinates have found out the content of Ruan Aoyue's conversation with Ruan Zhenmei in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Tell me, what did they say?" Tian Ergeng's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

"Ruan Zhenmei asked her daughter to beg Yue Su and find a way to let him go..." Fanzi immediately recounted the general content of Ruan Aoyue's conversation with her father in prison.

Not many people heard this conversation, only Li Haoquan, Mei'er, the warden of Tianlao and the jailer in charge of the keys.

"Very good, let's go down." After hearing the news, Eunuch Wei nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and dismissed Fanzi. Then he said, "Ergeng, let's just wait and see what happens."
