"Xiao Chen, are we going to be completely doomed this time?" After a long time, Li An finally raised his head.
"Oh? What? It's over? Maybe!" Xiao Chen said lightly.
In fact, Xiao Chen was not thinking about this matter and what the outcome would be for him. What he was thinking about was that since these people took the prince away, they should be planning to use the prince to blackmail something, and the prince's life was not in danger for the time being.
of.
However, where did these people take the prince? They should have left the capital!
"I have arranged manpower in the prison, and I have been careful to check every day. According to what you said, I also put the prince into soldier's clothes, but in the end, something happened to him." Sighing, Li An seemed to
Having seen his own end, he seemed to have thought better of it, and the tremors on his body gradually subsided.
"This is not your fault, but the other party is focused on targeting me. This group of people not only defeated me in terms of strength, but also made me suffer a big loss in terms of scheming. Now, the most important thing is to find the prince.
.As long as the prince is found, everything else will be easy to deal with." Xiao Chen looked at the wall of the room quietly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
After such a big thing happened, I was searching for the whereabouts of the prince with all my heart, but the emperor locked me up with an edict.
Even if he has a heavy responsibility and needs to be punished, he will wait until he gets the prince back. Now he will directly hand himself over to the Inspectorate. Doesn’t the emperor know that if the prince disappears for a day, his life will be in danger?
Or is it that the emperor deliberately took the opportunity to lock himself up just because the prince could not return safely?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen frowned even more.
"Xiao Chen, you said something happened to the prince this time. If we were beheaded, would it affect our family?" Li An tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"You are the Minister of Punishment, how do you feel about it?" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh, my wife and children are pitiful. They did not die in the hands of the King of Han, but they will die in the hands of the Emperor." Li An's voice was choked with sobs.
Seeing him like that, Xiao Chen wanted to accuse him, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
In the final analysis, Li An helped him in this matter. Although if the prince is safe and the prince inherits the throne in the future, Li An will be the hero. But the risks of this matter are far beyond his expectation.
At that time, Li An could have refused to take the prince to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but he still did not refuse. On the one hand, he was thinking about the future benefits, but more importantly, he wanted to solve his own urgent needs.
Ang Lee is cowardly, but he is loyal enough!
"Don't worry, if the emperor wants to kill us this time, I will do everything possible to rescue you, your wife and children. If you lose your official position, you will lose your official position. I will save your life." He patted Li An's hand.
Shoulder, Xiao Chen nodded.
"Disobeying the Holy Will is a treason. From now on, the entire Ming Dynasty may not be able to tolerate you?!" Hearing this, Li An raised his head in surprise.
"I have hurt you in this matter, so I can't let you suffer with me. I still have some money in my hand, and I will bring it to you when the time comes." Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
"What about you, won't you come with me?" Li An was stunned.
When the time comes, he will be the death row prisoner appointed by the Emperor. Xiao Chen rescued him just to confront the Emperor. No matter how powerful he is personally, how can he fight against an empire?
"If something happens to the prince, I should take full responsibility. I can't escape from this." She said calmly.
"If you are willing to be killed, we will die together. I don't want to live in hiding." Li An puffed up his chest and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"No." Xiao Chen shook his head, "I am a person, it doesn't matter what happens. But you are different, you still have a family. They just escaped from the clutches of the devil, and I can't let them be implicated. Send you away, I
I will fight to the death with that group of mysterious men in black. If I don’t deal with them completely, how can I be willing to die?"
"After you catch them, are you prepared to kill them?" Li An asked nervously.
"The responsibility for this matter lies with me. If the prince is really killed, I will come back and give an explanation to the emperor after cleaning up this group of people." Xiao Chen said.
"You will only die when you come back. The emperor will not let you go just because the prince's great revenge is avenged." Li An looked anxious.
"So what? As long as you finish what you have in mind, you will have nothing to worry about anymore. What's the difference between living and dying?" Looking at Li An, Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"Ah..." Li An covered his face and couldn't help crying loudly.
In the evening, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.
Jiang Qianxiao, the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate, and Xu Kaiying, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, walked in one after another.
"Xiao Qianhu, Mr. Li." With a smile on his face, Jiang Qianxiao hugged the two of them.
After being imprisoned, the unicorn purple clothes given by the emperor were taken back on the same day. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Qianxiao felt that it was more appropriate to call Xiao Chen Xiao Qianhu.
Although he is a fourth-grade General Mingwei, Qianhu is his current position.
As a prisoner, the honors of the past can no longer be mentioned, and it is not embarrassing for anyone to be called by his position.
"Master Jiang." Xiao Chen returned the courtesy very politely, then looked at Xu Kaiying behind him: "Commander Xu is here too?!"
No matter what the situation is, good or bad, Xiao Chen has had this confidence and calmness throughout his life.
Seeing Xiao Chen greeting the two of them, Li An also stood up and nodded, but didn't say a word.
In the past, I was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I just ignored them and ignored them. But it is different now. I am a criminal. The other party greeted me so politely, and I was in a bad mood.
, and cannot lose dignity.
"Master Ziyi..." Xu Kaiying was about to speak.
"Don't, don't. My purple clothes have been taken back and I'm just a prisoner. Commander Xu, just call me Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen waved his hands and laughed to himself.
This sentence made Xu Kaiying a little embarrassed: "You and I have met each other, but we didn't expect that such a situation would arise. Brother Xiao, I came today to take you to Jinyiwei."
Xu Kaiying got straight to the point.
"Oh, is the Emperor planning to re-activate Jinyiwei's prison?" Xiao Chen reacted instantly and smiled faintly.
The emperor has issued an order for the Inspectorate to investigate and deal with this matter. As the first batch of criminals to arrive at the case, he and Li An are not worthy of being invited by others.
If you go to Jinyiwei, you will just change places and be locked up in Jinyiwei's prison.
The prison of Jinyiwei was the imperial prison of Fusi in Beizhen.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually entertained himself by letting the living go in and the dead come out to be imprisoned. The emperor really thought highly of himself!
