"Xiao Qianhu misunderstood, this is not the emperor's intention, this is the intention of Commander Xu and I." Jiang Qianxiao on the side saw what Xiao Chen said and hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Is that what Mr. Jiang means? Mr. Jiang is afraid that the temporary detention center of the Inspectorate is not safe. Will I take Mr. Li to escape from prison?" Xiao Chen said with a half-joking smile.
Xiao Chen's memory of Jiang Qianxiao, the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate, is that when the high officials in the court collectively turned against him, this person chose to withdraw.
From this, it can be seen that this person is a person with a stand and insight. Moreover, he does not seem to be hostile to himself.
What is the purpose of arranging myself to be placed in Jinyiwei's prison?
"Escape? If Xiao Qianhu wants to escape from prison, I'm afraid no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can stop him." Jiang Qianxiao laughed and sat down on the chair by the wall.
This room was a place where prisoners were guarded. He sat down without hesitation, which instantly made Xiao Chen feel free of any barriers.
"So, Mr. Jiang has other plans?" Seeing the other party sit down, Xiao Chen also sat next to him.
Everyone else also found their own seats and sat down.
He raised his head and looked around the room. Jiang Qianxiao, who was too thin, pointed to the door: "This is the Inspectorate, and it is also the place designated by the emperor to investigate the two of you. I don't mind if people from the East Factory come in and out at will, but if they are seen by those who are interested,
, while accusing Xiao Qianhu, he will not let go of the Inspectorate."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "People from Dongchang come and go? Master Jiang, do you want me to just live in the prison and continue to participate in the investigation of the prince's abduction?"
Looking at Xiao Chen, Jiang Qianxiao nodded slightly: "Xiao Qianhu has always been responsible for the safety of the prince, and he has had a head-on confrontation with that group of people before. I am afraid that no one else in the entire capital except you, Xiao Qianhu, knows that group of people. Your Majesty.
It was only out of anger that we ordered the two men to be imprisoned. Even though we searched the entire city, there was still no progress. What we have to do now is probably to find their lair from the clues in the past and rescue the prince."
Xu Kaiying on the side also nodded, acknowledging the other party's statement.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "This time, thanks to the emperor asking the Inspectorate to investigate the two of us, if it were any other yamen, they would never have Master Jiang's vision. In fact, as for whether the prince can be brought to safety,
Now I don’t have the confidence to rescue him. Since Mr. Jiang gave me this opportunity, I will try my best to find out where the other party is hiding first."
"This matter cannot be delayed. Please forgive me and check into the Jinyiwei prison. Jinyiwei is heavily guarded. It is very difficult for interested people to find out some gossip. By the way, Xiao Qianhu, there is one thing I would like to tell you in advance.
Let’s talk about it to avoid misunderstanding.” Jiang Qianxiao said seriously.
"Master Jiang, please speak."
"After you move into Jinyiwei Prison, in order to keep the communication between you and Dongchang open, people from Dongchang will inevitably come in and out frequently. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Commander Xu will prepare several sets of Jinyiwei clothes and ask Dongchang
Put on someone else and then go in and out." Looking at Xiao Chen, Jiang Qianxiao had a trace of apology on his face.
"It should be so." Xiao Chen nodded, "After all, I am the emperor's prisoner. If I allow people from Dongchang to enter and leave the Jinyiwei prison, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it."
"Without further delay, let's set off now. At the same time, I will arrange for someone to send a message to Dongchang and keep in touch with you at any time." After taking a look at the sky outside, Xu Kaiying got up.
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Chen also stood up.
In the hall of the East Jishi Factory, the factory owner Lin Shangli put his hands behind his back, walked from the table in the middle hall to the door, looked around for a few times, and then walked back.
He sat down on the chair and barely had time to breathe. He stood up again nervously and walked towards the door.
In one day, I walked back and forth countless times.
Xiao Lizi, on the other hand, has been standing at the gate, looking at the street outside the gate of Dongchang, waiting for every captain of Dongchang who comes back to report.
Only some of the captains of the East Factory, including those of the prison guards, were left on duty, while the rest were all sent out to find the whereabouts of the prince.
However, it was already dark, and the people along the way had gradually returned, but they did not bring back any good news.
Liu Rufeng and Duan Tianming walked into the gate of Dongchang side by side.
"How's it going? Did you find any clues?" Lin Shangli rushed forward eagerly.
"No." The two of them cried sadly and shook their heads slightly.
"Alas." Lin Shangli sighed, slowly walked to the table in the middle hall and sat down.
"It has been three days since the prince was kidnapped. The entire capital has been searched over and over, and there are still no useful clues. If the prince cannot be found, our Dongchang will probably..." Duan Tianming said here, what follows
The words were never spoken again.
"If Xiao Chen hadn't been imprisoned by the emperor, maybe he could find some clues." Lin Shangli closed his eyes slowly and leaned his head against the wall behind him.
The hall was filled with this dull atmosphere.
Everyone stopped talking and seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate and remained silent.
With the return of Duan Tianming and Duan Tianming, Xiao Lizi also returned to the hall. He originally wanted to pour a bowl of tea for everyone to lighten the atmosphere. But seeing Lin Shangli's look that seemed to have given up completely, he could only stand silently.
Beside, no more words.
Among the three fellow villagers, Wang San has passed away, Xiao Chen has been imprisoned, and now he is the only one left. Xiao Lizi can't help but feel uncomfortable.
"The prince has been taken away. No matter what the emperor does, he should let Xiao Chen find the whereabouts of the prince first. Locking him up will invisibly help the other party. What will be the result of such a city-wide search? The other party
Before taking action, we have already arranged an escape route." Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Rufeng vented his dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Lin Shangli slowly opened his eyes: "You can just say this in Dongchang, but you can't say it outside. No matter how the emperor arranges, he has his reasons. As ministers, we just have to obey.
.”
"Yes, my subordinate is being reckless." Liu Rufeng stood up quickly, clasped his fists and bowed to Lin Shangli.
As for his immediate boss, Liu Rufeng had already experienced how good he was in protecting his calf when he caused trouble in the Thirteenth Battle. Thinking of Xiao Chen being imprisoned, Liu Rufeng felt anxious and couldn't help but complain.
Only this time, it was the emperor who imprisoned Xiao Chen. The factory owner wanted to protect him, but he couldn't. He must have felt more uncomfortable than himself.
"Let's all go back. We will continue to search for the prince's whereabouts tomorrow." Lin Shangli stood up, waved to the two of them, and turned around to walk into the back hall.
"Mr. Factory Master, Jinyiwei sent a letter and a package of things." The captain on duty at the door held a large package in his hand and hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Did Jin Yiwei send it? Where is the person who sent the letter?" Lin Shangli raised his head and asked.
"The man has left. He said it was sent here by the commander of the Jinyi Guards. The factory official will understand after seeing it." The captain bowed and said.
"Oh?" Lin Shangli took a step forward and took the letter, "Put the package down, you can go down."
"Yes." The captain put the package on the ground, bowed and turned around.
"The entire imperial army in the capital is busy searching for the whereabouts of the prince. What kind of drama is Jin Yiwei doing?" After taking a look at the soft package on the ground, Lin Shangli sat down at the table and opened the letter in his hand.
Duan Tianming and Liu Rufeng looked at each other and looked at the package on the ground, feeling a little confused.
Reading the letter, Lin Shangli's expression gradually softened: "Master Jiang from the Inspectorate really works hard for the court. Commander Xu is also a good person."
"Oh, what does the letter say?" Duan Tianming looked over with curiosity.
"They arranged Xiao Chen and Mr. Li An to the Jinyiwei prison. Inside the baggage on the ground are two sets of Jinyiwei captain's clothes. You two put them on. Now go to the Jinyiwei prison to see Xiao Chen and listen to his opinions on finding the whereabouts of the prince.
Opinion." Lin Shangli said hurriedly after putting down the letter.
"Are these Jin Yiwei's clothes? Isn't Xiao Chen being imprisoned in the Inspectorate? Why is he in Jin Yiwei again?" Duan Tianming looked puzzled.
"Don't ask so many questions. This is all the painstaking arrangement of Mr. Jiang and Commander Xu. Get dressed quickly and go see Xiao Chen. I'll wait for your news." Lin Shangli urged.
Seeing that the factory owner was in such a hurry, the two of them stood up in a hurry, opened their bags on the floor, and put them on in the hall.
...
In Zhongzhen Inn, in the upper room of the Yuzi No., Mr. Zhang stood with his hands behind his back, standing by the window inlaid with colored glass, quietly looking at the magnificent building of the palace in the distance.
Behind him, Wang Zhongzhen stood with a respectful look on his face.
"In the past few days, the investigation in Beijing has been very tight. Please be careful, brothers, and don't get caught all at once." Turning around, Mr. Zhang walked to the table and sat down slowly.
"Everyone has regained their status as common people in the capital. Even if the Imperial Guard dug three feet into the ground, they would never be able to find any clues." Wang Zhongzhen said with confidence.
"You can't be careless. This matter involves a huge amount. These Forbidden Forces can't find anyone, and they are all jointly and severally responsible. Therefore, this time we handle the case more seriously and responsibly than ever before. It's better to be careful," said Zhang Lao.
"Yes, I will tell them later." Wang Zhongzhen picked up the teapot on the table, poured a bowl for Mr. Zhang, and handed it over with a smile.
"How is it in Gu'an County?" Mr. Zhang asked after taking the tea bowl.
"Everything is arranged properly. As long as the general gives the order, we can set off at any time to send the prince to Le'an Prefecture."
"Don't send it away yet, just place it in Gu'an. We will ensure all the prince's needs, and more importantly, ensure his safety."
"General, are you worried about Captain Ziyi?" Wang Zhongzhen bowed and asked.
"When something happens to the prince in the Ministry of Punishments, it stands to reason that he should seize the chancellor of the Ministry of Punishments and order the captain in purple clothes to search for the whereabouts of the prince. But our Ming Emperor imprisoned the captain in purple clothes together. Is he going to use this to give up on the prince?
"
There was an indescribable smile on Mr. Zhang's face.
