The soldier at the door was stunned for a while, then he raised his hands and asked: "What are you doing by raising an army and mobilizing a large number of people like this?"
Wan Heshun said angrily: "I have been in charge of Nanjing for many years, but I still have to report my family's territory to my superiors? What the hell, get out of the way!"
After that, he pushed him away, and the people behind him caught up with him. The soldier didn't even have time to say a word to persuade him, so he couldn't stop him. He watched helplessly as they entered the prison.
"Cell head! Cell head!" Wan Heshun held on to the wall, walked down the stone stairs step by step, and shouted to the cell head.
The prison head was sleeping at this time. He suddenly heard Wan Heshun's voice in his ears, and he was startled and ordered everyone: "Light the lamp, light the lamp quickly!"
The jailer on duty quickly turned on the lamp, and Wan Heshun's figure poked out in the faint light.
"Master Wan, Lord Wanjun!" The prisoner knelt down like a pounce, slid down to Wan Heshun's feet, and kowtowed twice neatly, "Master Wei has been slandered like that in the past few days, and I feel very depressed.
, but I was afraid of Ye Yongjia’s bully behavior and didn’t dare to say anything; I thought we were going to be doomed in Nanjing... The county prince is really my savior!”
"We'll talk about other things later," Wan Heshun smiled and helped him up. "First, take me to find Wei Chong's cell and let him go."
Wei Chong was not sleeping deeply. When he heard the creak of the prison door, he immediately opened his eyes alertly.
He clasped his hands together and prayed a few words silently before he dared to raise his head and ask the jailer: "Are you about to be sentenced?"
"Secretary Wei, don't be nervous, Mr. Wan wants to meet you."
"Really?" Wei Chong's voice was not loud, but his expectant look was clearly evident.
The jailer did not answer, but turned around and invited someone in. It was Wan Heshun.
"My King of Wanjun..." Wei Chong cried with joy and lay on the ground crying.
"Secretary Office, I know it's not easy for you," Wan Heshun patted his head, "but it's not too late now, we can complain when we get back to the palace."
Wei Chong nodded with tears in his eyes, and the officers and soldiers came up to get the wooden shackles, held him up, and slowly walked out of the cell.
"What, the cell was empty when we went there?!" Ye Yongjia hurriedly turned around and faced Inspector Jiang, "Wan Dang was one step ahead of us!"
"Probably as soon as he left the palace, Wei Chong was...forcibly taken away."
"Find out where Wan Heshun is going and keep chasing me!" Ye Yongjia firmly believed that he could seize the last glimmer of hope and still did not intend to let go.
Because Wei Chong had been bound hand and foot for many days and had difficulty moving, Wan Heshun had to ride a horse for him and ask someone to hold him, which wasted a lot of time. Jiang Tianze led people to inquire along the road and galloped in. At this time, he was already indistinct.
Yue saw Wan Heshun's rear team.
"Go up with a torch and see what's going on." Inspector Jiang borrowed the torch from someone else and handed it to a soldier. The officer and soldier rode away on horseback, holding the torch high as if it was flying in the air.
"Whose!" Wan Heshun shook his hands when he saw the dazzling fire in the distance.
"I was sent by Mr. Jiang Tian, the Inspector General, to ask Wei Chong to go back!" The man shouted towards us as he ran.
"I can't hear clearly, please ask him to come forward and answer in person!" Wan He responded.
As soon as he said these words, he saw the fire behind him. Jiang Tian rode a tall horse and bowed to him: "I don't mean to offend the prince because of my humble position. In fact, he is a death row criminal and has to be strictly guarded. The prince took him privately."
If you leave, you are breaking the law."
"The investigation of this case has been stopped by His Majesty's imperial edict," Wan Heshun blushed and argued.
"Your Majesty only talked about Qi Zi. It is a conclusion that Wei Chong is guilty and deserves death!" Jiang Tian saw Wei Chong hiding behind him and glared angrily.
Wan Heshun sneered disdainfully: "Inspection inspections don't need to shout loudly, which makes people's ears hurt. Qi Zi's case is related to Wei Chong's incident, how can we make it clear? How can a prisoner be punished before the case is completed?
Something?"
Jiang Tian was immediately choked by these words. He wanted to think for a while, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Wei Chong snickering, and an unknown fire rushed to his head. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword and pointed it at Wei Chong: "Wei Chong, my son
, you have killed so many people, how long will it take if you don’t get off your horse and obey the orders!”
Wan Heshun's expression changed: "Inspector Jiang, please don't be anxious and put down your sword!"
The soldiers under his command also knew that it was not time to take action, so they hugged the neck of his horse, pulled the bridle and persuaded: "The prince is the chief here. I hope the inspector will not be angry, but must discuss it calmly."
Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he finally had to sigh and put the sword back into its sheath.
"...Return to the army!" His breath was no longer stable, but he still reluctantly gave the order. Wei Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied Wan Heshun back to the palace.
Jiang Tianjing was so confused by this incident that he didn't have to report to Ye Yongjia. He returned to the department and arranged for the soldiers to sleep. Then he picked a mat at random, without even taking off his armor, and rested his sword on his head.
I stared blankly and spent half the night like this.
Early in the morning, the eunuchs were busy preparing to move out of the palace, constantly moving things inside and outside. Liu Zhennian was in the palace, asking someone to take the list and compare them one by one.
The rooster outside the window just raised its head and crowed.
"Stop barking, stop barking!"
Yan Liang walked into the palace gate, stretched out his hand and patted the rooster standing on the pole. The rooster was startled and stopped crowing.
He walked straight into the hall and looked at Liu Zhennian and the others to bow.
Wan Heshun glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and while looking at the list, asked: "What did Ye Tinglong not plan to tell me yesterday?"
Yan Liang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong with him? He's just been bored since his plan failed."
"Why is this Ye Yongjia so kind..." Liu Zhennian muttered silently.
"By the way, is the emperor ready to leave?" Yan Liang sat on a chair nearby and also borrowed a list.
"I plan to let some of the troops out of the city first, and then ask Your Majesty to leave. There's no rush."
"Okay, then I'll go and ask the Nanjing officials to leave the city and say goodbye to the Holy Master." After Yan Liang said that, he threw the list away, walked out of the hall, and said to Lu Sijin: "Go and inform the government office, call Ye Yongjia.
Lead the officials to send them off."
"Is there anything else I need to say?" Lu Yingshan asked.
Yan Liang pondered for a moment and then said: "Just tell him not to talk too much when the time comes. General Liu is very busy. Don't cause any more trouble."
"But I think General Liu..."
Before Lu Yingshan finished speaking, he heard Yan Liang say "tsk": "Lü Sijin, the court is in chaos, how can I miss you here? This is also my good intention, and I have to hide things from him."
Lu Yingshan felt relieved and got up to go.
"Fire the cannon——"
Ye Yongjia gave an order, and the cannons outside the city rang into the sky several times.
"Long live!"
This time, Wan Heshun raised his head again and knelt respectfully towards Luan Jia, who was walking slowly.
