Ji Gang smiled and said: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I have something to do when I come here this time!"
"oh?"
Xia Xun glanced at him, lifted the hem of his robe, sat upright on the chair, and said calmly: "Speak!"
Seeing that he was still putting on airs, Ji Gang felt that he was overpowering him. He was very unhappy and immediately gave his Xiong a tingling and shouted: "The Emperor has spoken!"
His crotch was really a little too high. The breasts in his chest were pushed up, and he felt a little cocky. Xia Xun stood up and bowed his head slowly: "My lord, Yang Xu listens to the order!"
He was a duke, not to mention it was an oral edict. There was no need to kneel down for edicts such as central edicts. Even on non-important occasions, there was no need to kneel down for important edicts. Ji Gang had nothing to do with him, so he had to cough and said: "The emperor said:
The guilty minister Xie Jin confessed that Yang Xu had conspired with him, formed a clique, and had evil intentions. The matter is of great importance and must be investigated, and Yang Xu will be imprisoned in prison pending investigation!"
"I accept the decree, thank you!"
Xia Xun bowed his head, straightened up, and said calmly to Ji Gang: "Let's go!"
Ji Gang was stunned. He wanted to see Xia Xun angry, roaring, timid, scared, whatever... Any kind of expected performance was a great enjoyment for him, more delicious than the mountains and seas.
It's more delicious, it's more popular than a stunning beauty, it's better than..., but he...
Ji Gang was so disappointed that he had no choice but to say: "Xiaoguan knows that the Duke is loyal to the court and has no selfish intentions. This must be a false accusation by Jie Jin. Speaking of which, I tried my best to protect the Duke in front of the emperor, but... haha
, I am also acting according to the order, and I have wronged the Duke."
Xia Xun said: "I have never done anything I feel guilty about in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night! Even Lord Ji knows that Xie Jin is a false accusation. Your Majesty is wise, so how could you believe such nonsense? I believe that Your Majesty will return my innocence."
Now I have to control my freedom in order to investigate the case fairly. This is due to the rules. A prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Although Duke Yang has a high salary and position, he is not as high as a prince. He should obey the national law. "
Ji Gang took a breath and said with a smile: "The Duke is open-minded, he is really open-minded. People often say that the prime minister's belly can hold a boat. The Duke's magnanimity is three points better than that of the prime ministers! Don't worry, Duke, we will find out as soon as possible.
It's because Jie Jin made a false accusation and bit the Duke. I will definitely punish him well and say this for you. Duke, please!"
Ji Gang was full of words, but he was secretly cruel in his heart: "Humph! The officials who protected the crown prince and the officials in the East Palace are all in prison. Jie Jin is also a best friend of the crown prince. Now the emperor has put you in prison. It's clear.
It means cutting off the branches and pulling out the prince. You still want to come out? I am willing, but some people are not. If I don’t do this evil person, the King of Han will be the evil person! Let’s ride on the donkey and read the song book, and we will see!”
Xia Xun strode forward, and Ji Gang followed all the way, thinking about his thoughts. When he left the gate, he realized that he was following Xia Xun at a trot, like a little follower, hurriedly trying to take a step forward.
Even if she didn't beat him, she still wanted to walk side by side. Xia Xun suddenly stopped and said calmly: "The car is coming!"
Xia Xun stopped, but Ji Gang quickened his pace and jumped in front of Xia Xun. Xia Xun happened to say this at this time, but Ji Gang rushed out as if he was eager to lead his horse and cart.
Yes, in front of many of his subordinates, Ji Gang's face suddenly turned into a monkey's butt with shame.
Ji Gang didn't say anything, he only said fiercely in his heart: "Don't be complacent, wait until the King of Han uses his methods to determine your death date, and you will see how I will torture you!"
This is the second time that Xia Xun has been imprisoned in the imperial prison. He is dressed in casual clothes, with his hands behind his back as if walking in the courtyard. Ji Gang is dressed in brocade official uniforms and has a large number of subordinates, who are cheering and supporting each other in a very majestic manner
, but now that Xia Xun cannot be put on a torture device, it would be awkward to walk with him.
What kind of relationship does Xia Xun's robe have with him and all his subordinates? When Ji Gang walks in front, he feels like a leader, and when he walks behind, he feels like a follower. Walking beside him, it seems
Like a bodyguard... Ji Gang awkwardly accompanied Xia Xun and finally reached the door of the prison. Ji Gang took the opportunity to say: "My lord, I'm really sorry. There are rules in prison. Look at this."
clothes..."
"oh!"
Xia Xun smiled casually and said: "How can I embarrass you about such trivial matters? Then... let's change it!"
Ji Gang quickly waved his hand and said: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately, a jailer came over with a set of prison uniforms. The prison uniforms in this prison were divided into two colors: red, white and ocher. The red ones were for prisoners awaiting death, the ocher ones were for prisoners serving their sentences, and the white ones were for prisoners awaiting punishment. Now Xia
Xun has not yet been convicted and is a suspect, so he must be dressed in white.
Two captains in Jinyi stepped forward to change Xia Xun's clothes. At this moment, several fast horses came galloping towards the imperial prison. When they got to the door, they turned over and dismounted, leaving one person to tie the horse to the hitching post, and the others
The people were holding their knives and stomping up the stone steps. Looking at these people, they all had pointed hats, white boots, and indigo tails. There was a person clustered in the middle, wearing brocade clothes and a thousand-household crown, and they were full of murderous intent.
"Stop, who is trespassing in this important prison area?"
The shi guards in front of the imperial prison gate stepped forward to stop him. Qianhu in Jinyi in the middle raised his hand and showed a waist card. The shi guards retreated as soon as they saw it. The group of people rushed into the imperial prison in a swarm without stopping.
Xia Xun had just changed into his prison uniform when the group of people rushed in. Ji Gang turned around and frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "It turns out to be Chen Tiexing of Dongchang. Why did Chen Tiexing come?"
Chen Dong raised his hands to the sky and said loudly: "According to the imperial edict, the case of Fu Guogong Yang Xu will be tried by our Dongchang. Due to the seriousness of the case, in order to prevent someone from leaking information and colluding with the news, the factory governor requested an imperial edict and ordered the humble official to
Come to the prison and keep Yang Xu under strict supervision and interrogate him at any time."
Ji Gang secretly hated him, but he couldn't show any emotion on his face. He had to turn around and said to Xia Xun with a smile but not a smile: "My lord, please!"
Xia Xun smiled slightly and walked away. Just as he took a step, a thunderous voice shouted from behind: "What's the matter? I heard that Duke Fuguo was slandered by his ministers and was arrested and sent to prison?"
Ji Gang was choked by Chen Dong and had no place to vent his anger. When he heard that the case had not yet been tried, someone wisely labeled Xia Xun as "slandered by the emperor". He couldn't help but became furious and turned around and yelled: "
Who is doing this here..."
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Sehazhi, the commanding officer of the Jin Yiwei, rushing in. When Ji Gang saw it was him, he swallowed back half of what he said. Sehazhi was a fool. If he got into trouble with him, he would definitely give it to him.
He was too choked to come to the stage, but he was his deputy, half a level below him, and there was nothing he could do about his authority.
"Ah, Mr. Guo! Lao Sai is late!"
Sehazhi stared with a pair of bull's eyes, as if he didn't see anyone else at all. He rushed directly to Xia Xun, cupped his fists and said, "My lord!"
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Old Sai, why are you here?"
Sai Hazhi said in a loud voice: "Lao Sai was training those unsatisfactory turtle grandsons. Suddenly he heard the news about the Duke and came back quickly. The Duke is loyal to the court, how could he have evil intentions towards the emperor?"
Well, this must be a frame-up by a spy. Don't worry, my lord, the emperor will definitely find out the truth and bring justice to my lord."
Sehazhi glared at the jailers who were looking around and threatened: "Look clearly, this is the Duke of Fuguo. Every one of them will be given to you. Grandpa, please behave yourself. If anyone dares to show up in front of the Duke of Fuguo, he will not know."
Respectfully, if you are disobedient, let me, Lao Sai, know about it. Hey, hey, you know my tricks, Hazhi!"
"Hmm? Master Ji is here too."
After Saihazhi finished threatening, he found Ji Gang standing aside with a very ugly face. Saihazhi grinned widely: "Hahaha, if I had known that you were here, Mr. Ji, I wouldn't be worried, sir.
He is also an old subordinate of Duke Fu, so of course I don’t have to worry about taking care of him."
Ji Gang smiled and said: "That's it, that's it, Lao Sai, you have such a bad temper, it's really..."
Before Ji Gang finished speaking, Sai Hazhi suddenly spotted Chen Dong again. He immediately threw the back of his head to him, punched Chen Dong's chest affectionately, and laughed and said: "Haha, it's your kid, you come too."
Are you looking at the Duke? We haven't seen each other for a while. I said you are a shameless kid. It's so shameful. Why don't you come to Dongchang to drink with me, Lao Sai, since you became Dongchang's torture officer? Between Dongchang and Jinyiwei
Don't take those dirty things to heart, they are making trouble for themselves, we are going to deal with ours."
Ji Gang just pretended that he didn't listen to the nonsense said by this idiot, and shouted angrily at the prison chiefs: "Why are you still standing there, open the door!"
Although it is unlikely that a prison robbery or jailbreak will occur in places like Tianlao and Imperial Prison in a few hundred lifetimes, the design still needs to prevent this.
There is also a twenty-foot-long corridor with an iron gate at both ends, which can only be opened from the outside.
Xia Xun walked into the corridor, and when he reached the pass inside, the prison opened the iron lock and opened the door, which was the official prison. Inside the prison, many officials were now living in it, and it became somewhat popular.
It's no longer so desolate.
When Xia Xun first walked in, the prisoners in the cells on both sides didn't pay attention. It was not meal time at this time. They just thought it was the warden making a patrol.
At the back, when walking past two cells, the prisoner in one of the cells noticed that another prisoner had arrived.
The prisoner in this cell was Chen Shou, the left-wing minister of the Ministry of Industry. When Chen Shou saw someone being escorted in, he was curious about which comrade was also being imprisoned. When he took a closer look, he was shocked. He rolled off the couch and fell to the ground.
, rushed to the fence and looked at Xia Xun in horror, shouting out loud: "Master Fu! You...why did you come in too?"
The person in the cell opposite was Jie Jin. He was lying on the couch bored. When he heard Chen Shou exclaimed, he looked up and saw Xia Xun. He quickly turned over and turned his back to the cell door, pretending to be asleep. In his heart
I feel ashamed, how dare I meet Xia Xun.
Xia Xun didn't see him. Xia Xun didn't even look to the left and right cells. He nodded to Chen Shou and walked over. Chen Shou watched him slowly walk by and couldn't help but slumped to the ground and said miserably:
"Even Duke Fu was imprisoned... The prince is gone!"
At this time, other prisoners had already discovered Xia Xun. The leader of the Taitong Party was imprisoned, which made everyone think the same as Sun Shou. So what did the Manchu civil and military officials outside the prison think?
