Qian Delu unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly: "Fang Aiqing, I have found out that the case of Wang Liang drowning and killing Kang Zizhen, the prefect of Hangzhou, was originally a manslaughter. From now on, Aiqing does not need to pursue the case, nor does he need to involve others. Wang Liang committed manslaughter.
I have another decree to punish the crime. The case is now closed, and there is no need for you, my dear, to create any complications. This is my decree!"
"What?" Fang Dunru froze on the spot. The content of the imperial edict was undoubtedly that a ladle of ice water poured down from his pocket, giving him a chill.
The words of the imperial edict are very concise, even a little casual. But what they say is clear and understandable. What the emperor means is: You don’t need to investigate the case of Liang Wang Guo Bing. I have determined that Kang Zizhen was killed by mistake, not a deliberate murder, let alone a deliberate sabotage confrontation.
I have all the evidence for the new law. You don’t need to make a fuss about it, let alone get involved in other things. This case is over, and so is your full-power investigation.
"Eunuch Qian, are you mistaken? How could the emperor issue such a decree? This... this is too strange. Eunuch Qian, what is going on?" Fang Dunru shouted in shock.
"What do you mean? Does Mr. Fang mean that our family is falsely preaching the imperial edict?" Qian Delu said angrily.
"No, no, no, what I mean is, the content of the emperor's imperial edict...how could it be...how could it be like this? Didn't the emperor order me to do all we can to find out the truth about this case? Why did you issue such an edict again?"
Fang Dunru said hurriedly.
"If you ask our family, who should we ask? If Mr. Fang has any questions, he will just ask the emperor. Our family is responsible for running errands and announcing the decree. When we got here, we were covered in sweat, but you come to question me. It really doesn't make sense.
"Qian Delu shouted.
"No, no, thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. It seems that I am going to see the emperor." Fang Dunru said thoughtfully.
"That's your business. Will you accept the order? If you don't accept the order, our family will have to go back." Qian Delu rolled his eyes.
Fang Dunru was startled. If he didn't accept the order, it wouldn't be a resistance to the order. So he raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Fang Dunru, accepts the order."
Qian Delu stepped forward and placed the imperial edict in Fang Dunru's hand, and everyone stood up one after another. Qian Delu saluted Guo Caiwei and said, "We are here to pay tribute to the princess."
The little princess was naturally familiar with Qian Delu, so she hurriedly gathered her skirts and squatted slightly to return the courtesy: "Eunuch Qian is polite."
Qian Delu frowned and glanced around the yard. He quickly came to Zhao Yuankang and whispered a few words into his ear. Zhao Yuankang frowned for a moment, nodded slightly and said a few words. Qian Delu smiled bitterly.
nod.
After the conversation, Qian Delu slowly came to the little princess and said with a smile: "Why is the princess here? What happened here?"
The little princess said: "My father-in-law should know the reason, why bother asking again?"
Qian Delu smacked his lips and said: "The princess is too impulsive, how can she do such a thing? Attack the Yushitai Yamen to fight, this... this is too..."
The little princess said: "I will go to the emperor to plead guilty, but what do you say about Mr. Fang's unreasonable detention of my husband?"
Qian Delu rolled his eyes, raised his hands to Fang Dunru and said, "Mr. Fang, you already know the meaning of the imperial edict. Let Master Lin go. Just now we also know the reason. If it is said that Master Fang was doing it for the sake of investigating the case,
, but it’s no longer necessary now. Let him go.”
Fang Dunru frowned and said: "Eunuch Qian, the circumstances of this case are complicated and the truth has not yet been found out. The emperor suddenly issued an order to close the case? The so-called manslaughter theory is obviously deceiving people. How could the emperor believe it? The key point inside
This person is Lin Jue, my officer..."
Qian Delu frowned and waved his hands: "Our family doesn't know what's going on here, and we don't care who of you is right or wrong. I'm only responsible for delivering the decree. Let me tell you, the emperor personally drafted the plan in the residence of the Queen Mother in Fukang Hall of Yanshou Palace.
Our family has seen it with our own eyes. When we came to deliver the decree, the Queen Mother gave an explanation, and the two parties stopped pursuing each other. Don't you even listen to the Queen Mother's decree?"
When the daughters of the Lin family heard this, their hearts suddenly shone like a bright mirror. Needless to say, the decree drafted in the Queen Mother's Palace was spoken by the Queen Mother. In other words, Lin Jue's plan had an effect, and Concubine Rong had already played a role in persuading
The Queen Mother came forward. A stone fell to the ground in the heart of the little princess. As soon as this decree came out, it meant that the case was about to stop and the case was closed. It was just a crime of manslaughter, and the punishment was inevitable, but it was nothing.
Okay. This kind of punishment won’t be too severe.
The Queen Mother said that it must be what happened here. In fact, the palace already knew about it. The Queen Mother meant that neither party would pursue it, so let's stop there.
Fang Dunru's face was gloomy and angry. He didn't know the specific reason why things changed so much, but the emperor made such a move at a critical moment, which completely disrupted his plan. He originally wanted to take advantage of this matter
He was making a fuss, but now he could do nothing. He felt deeply hurt and betrayed. After all, the emperor still couldn't bear it. Something must have happened to make the emperor retreat.
"Master Fang, the emperor's decree is very clear. The case has been closed and has no involvement with others. You have no right to investigate the case again. If you continue to detain Mr. Lin, there will be no reason and you will be suspected of resisting the decree.
.The Queen Mother has sent a message to Eunuch Qian to ask you all to take a step back. If you still persist, then I will have to deal with matters on a business-like basis. Originally, if such matters fell into my hands, it would be absolutely impossible for us not to hold each other accountable."
Zhao Yuankang shouted in a deep voice.
Now, no matter how stubborn and tough Fang Dunru is, he can only choose to let him go. He is full of frustration and loss. After today, his majesty will be wiped out. His yamen has been broken into, what else can he say?
?Fang Dunru thought that he had to go to the palace to see the emperor. He had to ask clearly about the matter and ask the emperor to give a reasonable explanation. The king of Liang, Guo Bing, was at large, and his yamen was casually broken into and injured.
What happened to all this?
"Let them go!" Fang Dunru finally waved his hand and ordered.
…
In the Yushitai Prison at the northeast corner of the Yushitai Yamen, warden Li Fuhai, cell leader Zheng Xi and others had already received reports and knew that there was chaos in the front office. Although they were surprised, they did not take it seriously and dared to run away.
If you come to the Yushitai Yamen to cause trouble, what good fruit will you get? With Master Fang's strength, these people will definitely not end well.
However, when Tang Que came with Fang Dunru's handbook and ordered his release, the two of them quickly grabbed Tang Que and asked about the situation ahead. Tang Que, who had leaky teeth, was so angry that he scolded Zheng Xi like a dog.
His head was covered in blood. He scolded him and Li Fuhai for coming up with random ideas, and promised to make Lin Jue submissive, but in the end it ended up like this.
Zheng Xi was also very aggrieved. He couldn't blame himself for this matter. If Master Zhongcheng didn't give the order, he would never dare to deal with Lin Jue. Is he too full to survive? The matter has come to this, but there is nothing he can do. Zheng Xi has no choice but to deal with Lin Jue.
He went to the prison cell to release people. When he entered the prison, he heard laughter and cheers in room No. 5 from a distance. Zheng Xi was shocked. When he came closer to take a look, he saw Xiong Sanshan and six other people surrounding Lin Jue.
Joking. Lin Jue was sitting on the only futon, dancing and telling anecdotes about how he had wiped out the pirates. Xiong Sanshan and the others looked at Lin Jue with admiration and exclamations from their mouths.
.
Zheng Xi almost died of anger. The strange thing was that Lin Jue never asked for help. It turned out that these losers Xiong Sanshan not only did not threaten Lin Jue, but actually got along with him.
However, Zheng Xi couldn't get angry, so she had to put on a smile and go to open the door of the prison cell.
Lin Jue was frothing at the mouth and bragging. He turned around and saw Zheng Xi standing in front of the prison door. He frowned and said, "Prisoner Zheng, what's the matter? I didn't ask you to come."
Zheng Xi smiled awkwardly and said: "Lin Zhuangyuan, you can go home."
The eyes of Xiong Sanshan and others changed. The prisoners in the surrounding cells poked their heads out one after another, and everyone was so envious. They had only been in for a few hours, and they were about to be let go. This had never happened in the prison. It happened here. Prisoners who enter this prison have to stay at least three to five days, and they are made to leave without looking like humans or ghosts.
"Go home? What do you mean?" Lin Jue was confused, knowing that things must have changed. So he asked in a deep voice.
Zheng Xi apologized and said with a smile: "Why are you asking so much? It's getting dark, you'd better go home quickly. This prison is not a place for people. Don't suffer here."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Suffering? I don't think so. I made a few friends here. They said you would bring a roast suckling pig in tonight, and I planned to feast on it. Besides, what else did these friends say that they would have in the evening? Wonderful activity. I really want to know what kind of exciting activity it is. It is said that it is quite exciting. I also want to enjoy it. What is so good outside? I go to the Yamen every day to do things. I am exhausted and have no fun. I finally got in. Here, you can enjoy a few days of happiness without worrying about anything."
The eyes of everyone around were rolling. After Lin Jue said this, this prison seemed like heaven, but people like him were so blessed that they didn't realize how blessed they were.
Zheng Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Zhuangyuan, please don't embarrass this villain, okay? You'd better get out quickly. Please."
Lin Jue stood up and walked to the door with a smile. He was about to go out, but suddenly shrank back.
"No, it must be a conspiracy. As soon as I left the house, you said that I escaped from prison. Then you punished me and even chopped me with a knife. I won't be fooled." Lin Jue said.
Zheng Xi's eyes were about to fall off. He smiled bitterly and whispered: "Where did Mr. Lin think about it? Tell the truth to Mr. Lin, it was your wife who came with people from outside and injured many people. The matter has been alarmed. Your Majesty, even the palace commander and the palace guards have arrived. Lord Zhongcheng has ordered your release, please leave here as soon as possible."
Lin Jue was shocked and felt a warm current in his heart. It was Caiwei who brought people to save him. He broke into the Yushitai Yamen and injured many people, and also alerted the emperor and the people in front of the palace. This crime was real. Not small. Especially at such a sensitive time, Caiwei must have great courage to dare to do this. The prince's matter has not been settled yet, and he has caused a big disaster for himself, which shows that the little princess is willing to risk everything.
