Emperor Danxu couldn't tell the pain in his heart, so he had to say a few words of praise and put the matter aside for the time being. His head was hurting so much now that he couldn't think of how to deal with the consequences of the leak that Si Haochen had revealed. Also, how many people had been assassinated?
It is also difficult to deal with the matter between the prince and the Beichi Kingdom.
Si Haochen pointed the finger at Beichi in front of all the civil and military generals of the court. What should he do? He should not pursue the case. His three sons were almost killed. It would be too cowardly for him to be the emperor and ignore it. He should pursue it.
Well, how to pursue it? To what extent? It all needs to be considered in the long term...
Si Haochen found out the whole story of the case without reporting it to himself in advance. He acted recklessly and made the matter a mess, but when he thought about it, he, the emperor, made the final decision...
Emperor Danxu rubbed his forehead and felt that it was a huge mistake to hand this job over to Si Haochen. It was originally just one trouble, but after Si Haochen took care of it, it turned into two.
Next, the Minister of Punishment reported the corruption case of Jin Shangshu, and a round of punishment was carried out, without explaining the person behind the scenes or the whereabouts of the dirty money.
Emperor Danxu slapped the armrest of the dragon chair: "Put Jin Baoyuan all over the house into the heavenly prison!"
Today's morning court was full of troubles, and Emperor Danxu was in a bad mood. After the court was over, he summoned a few of his confidants to discuss matters in the imperial study.
Yesterday, Jin Shangshu did not return from court. At noon, the entire mansion was surrounded by officials. Mrs. Jin spent a lot of money to find out some news, saying that her master had committed something. Long Yan was furious.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Jin packed up some of her belongings and wanted her son and daughter to escape. However, the officers and soldiers guarded the area very tightly, and even the dog holes were guarded.
Mrs. Jin thought about it and finally came up with the idea of letting her son pretend to be a boy and go out with the boy doing the shopping. As for her daughter...well, I can't think of a way yet. Let's run away first if possible.
As soon as the second young master Jin put on the clothes his mother had prepared for him, officials from the Ministry of Punishments rushed into the house, and everyone in Jin's house was imprisoned. In a short time, the sky jail was almost full.
At midnight, a dark shadow came to the door of the sky prison. The person was wearing a dark cloak, with a hood covering most of his face. The prison boss led him into the innermost cell.
The cell leader took out the key he had prepared in advance and opened the cell door: "It only takes a cup of tea and someone will come to inspect."
"Got it."#@$&
The man walked into the cell and saw some straw piled on the muddy ground. A man was half buried in the straw, and his exposed clothes were stained with blood. There were also dark red blood stains solidified on the straw, which was spread throughout the cell.
The smell of blood. The torches on the wall danced with flickering fire, making the already gloomy cell look even more eerie.
The man in a black cloak walked to the haystack, lifted the man's head with his toes, and said in a deep voice: "Are you still alive?"
Jin Shangshu went through all the torture instruments in the sky prison. Now there is no good skin on his body, and there is no place that is not painful. He finally fainted from the pain and was awakened again. Those heart-piercing pains also followed.
Come.
Jin Shangshu groaned in pain and said by the way - he was not dead yet.
"It's good that you're not dead." The visitor snorted coldly.%&(&
Jin Shangshu tried his best to open his eyes, and through the flickering light of the fire, he finally saw the person coming clearly: "Third...Prince..."
The haystack exuded a moldy and rotten smell. The third prince suppressed his nausea and leaned down, saying softly: "Tell me where the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin is, and I will rescue you."
Hearing the third prince saying that he wanted to save himself, Jin Shangshu pulled a wry smile from the corners of his mouth, touching the wounds on his face, which made him gasp in pain. Being able to sit all the way from the household clerk to the minister, he was familiar with the twists and turns in the court.
Quite. Does the Third Prince really think that he is a fool? Not to mention that he does not have the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin in his hand. Even if he does, if it is handed over to the Third Prince now, there will only be death waiting for him in the future.
"I have never had a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin..." Jin Shangshu closed his eyes directly. There was nothing to fear about the mortal man. "If you want a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, go to your aunt. If you go to me, you are wrong."
People."
Jin Shangshu's attitude made Si Yu so angry that his eyes were on fire. He took the huge risk to go to the Heavenly Prison for questioning. He thought that he would be kind to someone who was about to die, but still found nothing: "You are seeking death yourself.
Don't blame me in hell for not giving you a way to survive."
"I am in this situation only because of His Highness the Third Prince." Originally, I took refuge with the Third Prince just to protect myself, but I never thought that this would be the beginning of my own desperation. Not only did I end up in jail, but I also dragged myself down.
From a young age, Jin Shangshu regretted so much that his intestines turned green, "The thing I regret most in my life is that I took refuge in your two-handed man..."
Received the 1.5 million taels of silver that he misappropriated, and then asked Yushitai to ask him to embezzle the 1.5 million taels of silver. Is this what humans do? If you feed meat buns to a dog, the dog will not bite back after eating it.
.
"Humph." At this point, he was still acting with him. The third prince walked away with a puff of his sleeves, and silence returned to the cell.
Jin Shangshu took a deep breath, and a sharp light burst out from his turbid eyes. The clay figurine still had a certain amount of anger, and he was half alive. Even if he died, he could not make the person who harmed him feel better...
The sun has been shining brightly for many days, but today it started to rain. Mingruo took a carriage to a medicine hall for a consultation. There were not many pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and there were only twos and threes riding oil paper umbrellas, walking hurriedly by. The bluestone road
In addition to shops, there are also some willow trees on both sides of the road. A stall selling steamed buns and wontons is set up under the tree. When you lift the lid of the pot, you will see the white mist in the drizzle, which looks peaceful, beautiful and full of fireworks.
"Is there anything good to see outside?" Si Haochen caught the little princess lying by the window in his arms. Thinking of his own little princess, he often called Zisu to see some little brother, and asked, "I saw a good-looking little brother again."
elder brother?"
"It's too early now, the good-looking guy hasn't gone out yet, only the guy who got up early to do the shopping." Mingruo answered matter-of-factly.
"..." She was still looking at it very seriously, "Isn't this king enough for you?"
"Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, you know." Ming Ruo made a face at Si Haochen.
"If you are brave enough, you are already thinking about 'Wild Flowers'. Looks like you have a family to take care of you!" Si Haochen leaned down.
Mingruo quickly pressed against his chest and raised her hands in surrender: "None of the 'wild flowers' outside are fragrant. Only my bamboo horse is the most fragrant."
Oh my god, if I am being treated by a "family law", how can I see a doctor with a "sausage mouth" on my head? Do I mean that I was bitten by a wild bee?
"Huh, I've written it down for you." Si Haochen stopped 'scareing' her and helped her straighten her clothes.
The carriage stopped in front of a medicine hall. Si Haochen got off the carriage first, took the umbrella from Xun Yi, held the umbrella with one hand and supported Mingruo with the other.
Mingruo stood under the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the fine raindrops, and suddenly felt that there was a poem that fit the scene——
"The light rain on the sky street is as moist as butter, and the color of grass looks far away but is invisible up close.
The most beautiful thing about spring is that it is better than smoke and willows all over the imperial capital."
