Shao Yan learned from Liu Fuju that the old man in front of him, who was over fifty years old, was called Deng Bingtang. He was currently the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the Nanliang Kingdom. He was an upright man and hated evil as much as his enemies. He was highly regarded by the emperor. Deng Bingtang had been in charge of the Ministry of Punishment for more than ten years and had solved countless cases in his life.
Because of his decisiveness in handling affairs and his ability to resolve cases like a god, the people privately called him the "Iron Judge". This was just because he impeached Wang Boyan, the traitor, in front of the emperor many times, and most of the ministers in the DPRK sided with Wang Boyan. He was naturally cowardly.
The emperor was afraid of offending Wang Boyan, so he would reject his memorial without hesitation every time.
Deng Bingtang was very happy to see Shao Yan's handsome appearance. There was always a smile hidden in his kind face. Shao Yan once heard Liu Fuju say that Deng Bingtang had a daughter who was 28 years old. She was naturally beautiful and very provocative.
People like it, could it be said that this old man wants me to be his son-in-law? It would be fine if this girl is beautiful, but the most important thing is to have a good temper. Don't be like Liu Meng, who only thinks of ways to punish people all day long.
, Although he did not plan to stay in ancient times for too long, in order not to leave any regrets, Shao Yan decided to find an opportunity to meet this Deng Daqiang.
Faced with the sudden appearance of Deng Bingchang, everyone was surprised. According to Deng Bingtang, he was passing by the street in an official sedan after leaving the morning court today. He heard the people coming and going discussing the matter animatedly, and sent someone to come forward.
After asking, I found out that the counterfeit banknotes had happened. Deng Bingtang really wanted to meet this 'ticket dealer', so he asked people to change direction and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"General Sima, I came here specifically for the case of counterfeit banknotes. Besides, this is also my responsibility. Normally, I will hand it over to me for personal trial. I don't need to worry about the general and the Prime Minister. I am going to put this person to death now."
Take it away," Deng Bingtang said coldly with a straight face.
"This?" Sima Jun hesitated. As the Minister of Justice, Deng Bingtang was in charge of large and small cases. There was really no case that he couldn't take over. If he insisted on taking Shao Yan away, Sima Jun had no right at all.
Go to stop it, but on the contrary, your own abuse of lynching has violated the law of the court. If you really want to pursue it, you will inevitably be dismissed and investigated, and if the case is serious, you will be jailed.
Seeing Sima Jun's hesitation, Deng Bingtang asked: "What? As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, shouldn't I be involved in this matter?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
"I will bear all the consequences alone!"
Deng Bingtang's attitude was very resolute, and he was even willing to use his black gauze hat as a guarantee. As a small commander of the Royal Forest Army, how could Sima Jun dare to say "no". At this moment, Bai Mei, who was tied to the iron railing, suffered from a wound.
He lost too much blood and suddenly fainted. Without saying a word, Shao Yan immediately went up to untie the chains, carried him on his back, and walked out of the cell with Deng Bingtang and others.
…
Returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Fuju asked Liu Meng to find the best doctor in the city to treat Baimei. This girl seemed to have changed since she came back from the cell. She asked doctors again, prescribed medicine, and decoction...
..., in short, he was very busy. Seeing this girl changing so quickly and smiling at him from time to time, Shao Yan always felt a little uneasy, for fear that this was Liu Meng's trick again.
Bai Mei was unconscious for a whole day. During this time, Shao Yan stayed by the bed. Looking at the chubby baby face on the bed, Shao Yan felt ashamed. If he hadn't saved himself, Bai Mei would not have been injured so seriously.
, when he thought that he had deceived others, he felt very guilty. He secretly told himself that when Bai Mei woke up, he would tell him the truth immediately. However, deep down in his heart, he felt guilty. Although Bai Mei was not good at martial arts, his strength was amazing.
, if I anger him, wouldn’t I...
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Mei moved his fingers. The doctor said before leaving that Bai Mei's injury was not serious. Fortunately, it did not hurt any vital parts. He would recover after a day or two of rest.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Baimei opened his eyes and found Shao Yan guarding his bed. He felt very sorry and tried to sit up. Shao Yan picked up a pillow and placed it beside the bed. Baimei leaned on the bedside with his hands wrapped around him.
Bandaged, with a waxy complexion, he opened his lips slightly and said: "Your Highness, you are okay... It's great to see that you are okay."
This guy was indeed a loyal slave. He was so seriously injured that he still did not forget to greet his master. Shao Yan was deeply moved and said with a smile, "If you hadn't blocked the knife for me, I would be the one lying on the bed now."
"Your Highness must not say anything. You are the Crown Prince of Donglin and the future king. Even if I risk my life, I cannot let anything happen to you. Otherwise, even if I die ten thousand times, it will not be enough to atone for my sin."
"Bai Mei was very excited and couldn't help but started coughing. Shao Yan patted his back and said with concern: "Brother Bai Mei, of course I know your loyalty, and I also want to solemnly tell you that as long as this prince is here for one day,
I won’t let you die in vain.”
Baimei looked at him with admiration, and his heart was filled with endless admiration. He accidentally noticed Shao Yan's short hair, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, who cut your hair?" In fact, he had already discovered it in prison.
I asked this question, but I was pressed for time, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
"This...?" Shao Yan thought for a while, looked very embarrassed, sighed, and said: "That's it, some time ago, I spent all the money I had. Although the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is beautiful, but I have no money.
As for me, there is no doubt about this. It is only when people are in desperate situations that they realize how difficult it is to live without money. In order to survive and to return to Donglin to see my father and mother, I cut myself off in anger.
Hair, ready to return to China as a monk and beg for alms all the way..."
"Your Highness..."
Shao Yan's carefully crafted lies made Bai Mei so moved that he burst into tears. Shao Yan patted his shoulder to comfort him and couldn't help but take a breath of air in his heart. If a man is not romantic, he will be a young man. If a man is not shameless, he will not be called a man. He vowed to
Take shamelessness to its highest level
Under Shao Yan's guidance, Bai Mei gradually lifted up from his sadness, wiped away his tears and looked around the room. He was very surprised and asked quickly: "Your Highness, have you lived here before?"
Shao Yan nodded and Bai Mei said happily: "Your Highness, when I am healed, we will go back to Donglin together. The Emperor and the Empress are thinking about you very much. They have told me many times that I must take you safely."
Go back, you know that the emperor is old and not in good health. You should make him less angry in the future. The emperor only has a son like you."
Bai Mei spoke eloquently, as if an elder was educating the younger generation. When Shao Yan heard the word "go back", his heart became hot. He longed to go home more than anyone else, but the home he longed for turned out to be more than a thousand years ago.
Finally, God played a big joke on him. The damn time travel blocked him from his hometown in two worlds.
Seeing Shao Yan dragging his chin in a daze, Bai Mei replied that it was his "move with emotion and understand with reason" that was just right, and said with a smile: "The younger one watched His Highness grow up. His Highness never left before he was ten years old.
You have only half a step in the palace, and His Highness is very filial. Every year when the Emperor and Queen celebrate their birthdays, you come up with many clever ideas and give them very unusual gifts, which makes them very happy."
Bai Mei spoke with gusto, and Shao Yan felt very uncomfortable when he heard him say "Your Highness" to the left and "Your Highness" to the right. Everything he said was other people's family affairs, and he just looked similar to the Long Prince.
A lie is always a lie, and will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of harming others and himself, it is better to clarify the facts as soon as possible, so he decided to tell Bai Mei his true identity. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard someone knocking on the door.
sound
"Come in"
The door was pushed open, and Liu Meng walked in with a bowl of hot soup. Shao Yan smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Bai Mei had met her once in prison, but he didn't know the other person's identity, "Your Highness
, may I ask who this girl is?"
Shao Yan's attitude was extremely indifferent and he made a casual introduction. This was not because he had any grudge against Liu Meng. Since the fake banknote incident, he felt that he should keep a certain distance from women, especially those who had teased her.
When it comes to women who live with him, there will always be two. He is really worried that one day he will step into the trap pre-designed by the other party.
Seeing Shao Yan looking around absently, Liu Meng thought he was still angry with her, so she couldn't help but pass the medicine bowl to Bai Mei and said: "Brother Bai Mei, do you feel better? These are prescribed by the doctor.
You are about to drink the medicine." Bai Mei nodded gratefully, then reached out to hold the medicine bowl. Because the medicine bowl was too hot, he accidentally hit the medicine bowl on the bed, and it happened to drip into Shao Yan's neck, causing Shao Yan pain.
