Chapter 46 Not good, their goal is the sky prison!
Qin Yun sighed. Seeing how embarrassed he was, he didn't want to say anything to him. After all, he was a loyal minister who was devoted to himself.
He stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "I don't blame you for this. You were tricked, mostly because of the reward I gave you yesterday. They don't want to see the Xiao family getting stronger."
Xiao Jian was still ashamed and knelt down again: "But, Your Majesty, no matter what, I have indeed committed a crime that is unforgivable."
Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's not that serious. If nothing unexpected happens, I will vindicate you within two days."
"At that time, the death penalty will be exempted, but the living penalty...may make you feel a little wronged."
Xiao Jian raised his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Your Majesty, can you really rehabilitate the guilty minister?"
"Well, I came here just to let you know so that you can relax."
"Don't think about committing suicide. Xiang'er has been crying to me today. When you go out, go and see her." Qin Yun said softly.
Listening to the parents' gossip, Xiao Jian's eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.
He kowtowed hard and said: "Your Majesty's great kindness will be unforgettable! No matter what punishment your Majesty may impose, I will accept it!"
"If I can survive, I will definitely serve Your Majesty in the future."
Qin Yun smiled slightly and helped him up again.
At this time, Tao Yang took out a suitcase and took out some imperial meals.
"Eat, that girl from Xiang'er was afraid that I would kill you, so she came to the imperial study and cried for a long time, so I brought you some food. Don't worry, eat it, it won't be a meal for your head." Qin Yun joked.
Xiao Jian showed an embarrassed smile and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
…
Linglong Hall.
Wang Min is wearing a fringed long skirt, simple makeup and light lips, but she is extremely seductive. She is lying on the bed, lazily with a hint of irritability.
"Miss, the master wrote to say that he has tested Zongzheng Temple. Today, a large number of people have indeed been dispatched to guard the evidence in Yunyuan Pavilion in the temple."
"As for what the incriminating evidence is, the information is strictly blocked and cannot be inquired about."
A tall, average-looking maid kneeled on the ground and said.
Wang Min stood up slowly, put on her embroidered shoes, and with an elegant posture, she moved slightly in front of the maid.
"Crack!"
A crisp slap sounded.
"Slave dog, you couldn't handle this matter last night. What use do I need from you if you leave evidence of guilt?" Wang Min's eyebrows were raised, and there was a hint of anger and meanness in his beautiful eyes.
The maidservant was slapped and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from her nose.
But he didn't dare to wipe it at all, so he got up and knelt on the ground, saying: "Miss, it was my fault. I went to Zongzheng Temple at night and destroyed the evidence of the crime!"
Wang Min laughed angrily: "Zongzheng Temple is not difficult to break into, but do you think His Majesty is a fool? You can steal such an important thing at will!"
The maid was frightened and put her forehead to the ground: "Miss, I have already found a way to clear the route for you. As long as you move quickly, there shouldn't be any problem."
"snort."
"It's best like this!" Wang Min looked bad. The risk of this matter was extremely high, but it was impossible not to go. Even if it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, he had to go.
Once the incriminating evidence is found against her, things will get worse.
She turned around and swayed into the bead curtain, and said coldly: "Tomorrow morning, I want to see the evidence of the crime!"
"Even if you die, you have to destroy the evidence of your crime for me."
The maidservant trembled all over and did not dare to get up: "Yes!"
"..."
Come out of the prison.
Qin Yun went to the Yangxin Hall.
In the yard, Concubine Xiao Shu was wiping her tears.
Although she knew that Qin Yun had found some evidence that Xiao Jian was framed, after all, her eldest brother was still in the dark prison, and what happened with the late emperor's concubines had happened. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
Emotionally unstable, Danfeng's eyes were red.
Beside her, Pei Yao was comforting her, looking worried, just like a sister.
At this glance, Qin Yun lowered his guard against Pei Yao.
Qin Yun liked her very much for her ability to comfort Concubine Xiao Shu at this critical moment!
At least she is not a bad woman. Perhaps she has really adapted to the life in the harem these years and really wants to follow her, but she just refuses to admit defeat.
Earlier today.
The shadow guard came to report, saying that Concubine Pei Yao came to the Royal Garden last night and saw Qin Yun and Xiao Jian chatting secretly from a distance, so she could be considered a suspect for leaking Xiao Jian's whereabouts.
However, at this moment, Qin Yun became more fond of her and completely rejected this possibility.
"His Majesty!"
The two stood up and gave a blessing.
"Well." Qin Yun pretended to be unhappy: "Xian'er, why are you still crying? Didn't I tell you? The evidence of the crime has been found, and vindication will be a matter of time."
Concubine Xiao Shu quickly wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I am just worried."
"Okay, don't worry anymore." Qin Yun put his arm around her shoulders and rubbed them gently to express comfort.
Then he looked at Pei Yao. He had not touched her since that night. When he saw her up close, he saw that she was really beautiful, extremely bright, and an absolute intellectual beauty.
"Yao'er, just stay in Yangxin Hall and have a meal together."
Hearing this, Pei Yao's eyes were a little unnatural, then she smiled and nodded gently.
As night fell, the three of them had a meal together in Yangxin Hall.
Originally, this move was against the rules, but Qin Yun is a modern soul, why does he care about the red tape of these emperors?
Later.
Zongzheng Temple Tangling sent word that everything was ready.
Feng Lao sent several shadow guards to protect Qin Yun personally, and then went to Zongzheng Temple in person to capture the snake that came out of the hole.
On the branches above the moon, cicadas are chirping.
It was quite hot inside and outside the palace, with almost no one walking around.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the eaves of Linglong Hall. It was as strong and powerful as a civet cat. It was as if it were flat ground when climbing rocks and walls. It disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
Zongzheng Temple, in charge of royal affairs, was established in the imperial capital, close to the city government office and the imperial palace.
Most people really can't enter this kind of place.
Feng Lao arrived here and sat in Yunyuan Pavilion.
Zongzheng Temple, on the other hand, is heavily guarded inside and out, with waves of patrolling officers and soldiers carrying torches, making it impossible for normal people to hide.
Time passed and it was past three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Qin Yun, who was far away in the palace, looked at Zongzheng Temple in the distance and couldn't sleep. Xiao Jian in Tianlao, Wang Min in Linglong Hall, etc. also couldn't sleep.
Feng Lao was as immovable as a mountain, sitting cross-legged in Yunyuan Pavilion and never came out.
Another hour passed, and while the majestic city of the Imperial Capital was sleeping, a fire lit up into the sky!
A fire broke out in the city government office and spread throughout the neighborhood. The fire was so powerful that it turned into a fire dragon in an instant!
Thick smoke billowed high into the sky, and Qin Yun, who was far away in the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, saw it.
Qin Yun realized that he might have misunderstood the man in black.
He yelled: "Tao Yang, immediately ask Chang Hong to send people to help Zongzheng Temple. There may be more than one man in black!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another fire shot up into the sky, and it was very close.
The fire turned out to be inside the palace and in the prison!!
Qin Yun stood in the attic, his expression suddenly changed.
No! Their target is not the evidence, but his mother Xiao Jian, and they want to kill Xiao Jian!
"Shadow Guard!!"
Qin Yun roared angrily and rushed out of the palace.
