When Han Du learned from his father that the person he was holding was Yongchang Hou Lanyu, his heart was indeed filled with joy. What he wants is to live a long life, not to drink poison to quench his thirst. In order to survive now, he embarks on a path that will inevitably lead to death in the next ten years. Because if Lan Yu saves him, in this era that values etiquette, he will automatically be labeled as Lan Yu. No matter who he is, he will be regarded as a member of Lan Yu's party. When the Lan Yu case breaks out, he will not run away at all. No.
So when he first learned that he was looking for Lan Yu, Han Du was as pessimistic as his father. The difference is that Dad is pessimistic because Lan Yu can't see the emperor now, while Han Du is pessimistic because of the future Lan Yu case. But as time passed, Han Du's heart changed again.
What about sapphire? Ants are still greedy for life. It is better to die later than to die now. And as long as you can survive now, you can change things in the future.
Wasn't Lan Yu killed by Lao Zhu because of his arrogance? You can think of ways to persuade him to be cautious. Even if you can't persuade him, you can keep a close eye on him and nip his arrogant and domineering ideas in the bud.
So, Sapphire, help me.
You saved me, and I will save you in the future.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Hu Zhen, the left servant, looked at the eunuch who came and was very surprised. Could it be that His Majesty still has a decree at this dark hour? Comrade Lao Zhu's attitude towards work is nothing but black and white. It is normal for an edict to come out at this time.
The previous Minister of Justice, Lu Zongyi, was dismissed by Lao Zhu in the 13th year. There is no official Minister of Justice yet, so Hu Zhen, the Zuo Shilang, is actually the highest official in the Ministry of Justice.
Hu Zhen did not dare to neglect, stepped forward to greet the eunuch, and asked: "May I ask, father-in-law, if it is His Majesty's will?"
The eunuch waved the Buddha dust in his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Han Du, the son of Han De, has an audience."
Hu Zhen didn't know why His Majesty summoned a prisoner's son in the middle of the night, but since it was His Majesty's order, he naturally didn't dare to neglect it.
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will have someone escort him here right now."
After saying this, Hu Zhen was about to order someone to take Han Du over, but was stopped by the eunuch.
"No need to bother Mr. Hu, we can just go directly to the prison to pick up someone."
Hu Zhen was stunned. He didn't understand why the eunuch wanted to go to a dirty and dirty place like the prison. Is there something else that he didn't know about? Hu Zhen pondered for a moment, twirled his beard and nodded: "In that case, then I will go with my father-in-law?"
"No matter what happened or not, since the eunuch has to go to the prison in person, it is always good to follow him and see for yourself." Hu Zhen thought to himself.
The eunuch nodded noncommittally.
Hu Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Father-in-law, please."
When the group arrived at the prison, more than a dozen people including the prison chief and jailer were having a lively meal and drink. Two square tables were filled with various dried fruits and meats, and wine jars and earthenware bowls were everywhere. yes.
When he heard that Hu Zhen was coming, the cell leader's eyes were as wide as copper bells. The wine redness on his face disappeared instantly. His face was pale, and his whole body was shaking like chaff and he knelt down on the ground.
"Young...I have met Mr. Hu, please, please forgive me."
If Hu Zhen had seen this scene in the past, he might have directly gotten angry and punished the cell leader. But now that the eunuch is around, it's more important to do business.
"Get up and go find Han Du, the son of Minister Han."
The prison boss responded as if he had been granted amnesty, got up and hurriedly looked for the person.
Han Du lay awake in the cell. In this dark place, his biological clock, which had long been asleep, was disrupted. I don’t know when it is daytime and when it is nighttime. Rest means falling asleep and waking up in and out. Just this is a kind of torture. The more this happened, the more he hoped Lan Yu could help him.
The noise in the distance attracted Han Du's attention, but he was not excited about it. After all, according to his father, Lan Yu could not see Lao Zhu so soon.
But as the jailer got closer and closer, and in the end he even walked directly towards him, Han Du felt excited in his heart.
"Did you really come to find me?"
The cell leader stood outside the cell and looked at Han Du, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "May I ask, who is Han Du, Mr. Han?"
"You really came to find me." Han Du took a deep breath.
"I am."
"Mr. Han, please." The cell leader confirmed Han Du, bowed his waist and extended his hand to signal Han Du.
Several conversations woke everyone up. Seeing the cell leader asking Han Du to get out, Han Du's mother and sister felt anxious, fearing that some disaster would befall Han Du.
"Du'er..." Han Du's mother couldn't help but call him.
Hande reached out to hold his wife's hand and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, it's a good thing, a good thing..."
Then he turned to Han Du and said, "Go."
Han Du nodded and followed the cell leader out.
When he saw the eunuch, Han Du took a long breath and felt reassured.
"It seems that someone from the palace is looking for me. It's probably Lan Yu who gave Lao Zhu his blood letter."
Han Du felt a little strange in his heart. It seems that this blue jade is not as impossible as his father said, so he can see Lao Zhu. Maybe you need help? No matter what, since he helped me today, I will repay this kindness to him in the future.
Before Han Du could greet him, the eunuch asked directly: "Are you Han Du?"
"The sinner Han Du has met my father-in-law."
The eunuch ignored Han Du's words and continued to ask: "Is Hande, the Minister of Household Affairs, your father?"
"Exactly."
Nodding with satisfaction, the eunuch said neatly: "Without further delay, you will enter the palace with our family."
Then he turned to Hu Zhen and said, "Servant Hu, please come with us, but the emperor is still waiting, so I'll say goodbye."
"Father-in-law, you're welcome. You should, you should. Father-in-law, please go slowly."
Hu Zhen sent the eunuch out of the prison. He didn't look back until the eunuch and Han Du were no longer visible, then he turned around, pondered for a moment, and left without paying attention to the jailer behind him.
As soon as Hu Zhen left, the cell leader felt that the mountain on his head that was making him breathless suddenly disappeared.
His legs went limp uncontrollably and he sat down on the ground.
"Boss..."
"Oh, boss, be careful..."
"Boss, get up quickly, I'll help you..."
The jailers gathered around him one after another and pulled the prison head up from the ground and sat him down.
"Huh, it's so dangerous, it's so dangerous." The prison head calmed down and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Hu, you don't care about me in many ways, otherwise I would be in trouble today."
At this time, a young jailer smiled flatteringly and said: "If you ask me, our leader is more capable and has face in front of Mr. Hu."
The cell leader suddenly became angry and kicked the jailer to the ground. He said sternly: "It's so stinky to give your mother a shit. How can I have any face in front of Mr. Hu? If you can't speak, just shut your stinky mouth." People think you are mute. If these words reach the ears of Mr. Hu, I will skin you."
The young jailer knew that he had said the wrong thing and ignored the pain on his body. He knelt on the ground and slapped himself twice. "It's because I can't speak, and it's because I have a bad mouth. Boss, I never dare to do that again, never again."
Seeing that the jailer admitted his mistake, the prison head's anger calmed down a little. He looked around and snorted: "It's the same with you. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will still be skinned by me."
All the jailers shook their heads and made promises to the cell leader.
"Absolutely not..."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"Boss, you know me..."
After seeing that everyone promised not to spread random rumors, the cell leader said coldly: "Everyone, what are you still doing? Quickly remove all these things and clean up the place. Then the guards who should be on duty will be patrolling. Prison patrol."
"Oh oh oh..."
Everyone took action.
Suddenly, the prison head's eyes narrowed and he shouted loudly: "Old Chen, Xiao Liu, where are you two going?"
Everyone who was about to go about their business stopped when they heard the sound and looked in one place.
Old Chentou and Xiao Liu were standing far away from everyone and were about to walk into the prison. They were very conspicuous.
You can hear a needle drop instantly here.
After a long time, Lao Chentou broke the silence here and said with a smile, "Boss, I just remembered that I didn't patrol the prison once today. I'm going to take Xiao Liu to patrol the prison."
After saying this, Old Chen Tou wanted to take Xiao Liu to the prison.
"stop."
The cell leader's voice was not loud, but it was like an iron hoop, choking the two of them.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Lao Chentou pretended not to understand.
"It's not interesting," the cell leader said with a smile, "It's a prison patrol. It doesn't matter if you skip one patrol. Today you don't have to patrol the prison anymore. Oh, I've decided. From now on, you don't have to patrol the prison anymore. Go on guard duty outside."
"Boss, you..." Although Old Chen's face was calm, his heart was filled with shock.
The jailer standing next to the cell leader also saw that something was wrong at this time. Seeing that Old Chen and the two were standing there motionless, some people simply went over and stood behind Old Chen, blocking the road.
The prison boss shook his head and said: "I really don't have any other intention. I just see how hard you guys are patrolling the prison and I want to replace you with guarding outside so that you can feel more relaxed."
"But, boss, why do you want to change now?" Old Chen was a little angry.
"Because I'm the one who makes the decision here. If I want to change now, I'll change now." The prison leader looked at Lao Chentou calmly and said decisively.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen lowered his head and said nothing. Suddenly he raised his head and laughed and said, "This is natural, this is natural. Whatever the boss says is whatever it is. Let's go outside and guard."
After saying that, he reached for Xiao Liu and asked him to go out together.
Old Chen pulled Xiao Liu's head, but did not pull. He looked at Xiao Liu with a fixed look and whispered: "Let's go."
After saying that, he forcefully pulled Xiao Liu and walked out.
After both of them went out, the jailer who had slapped himself just now asked the jailer in a lowly manner, not knowing why, "Boss, why did you drive them out? Is there something wrong with them?"
