I heard Kang Langcai sighing.
Lu Ning and Lu Ning looked shocked.
But there is a wall between the two cells, and Kang Langcai cannot be seen.
"Kang Langcai, who did you listen to?"
Zhou Hao was even more surprised than Lu Ning. He stood up and walked to the iron fence and asked.
Kang Langcai next door sighed and whispered: "Brother Zhou should know how the old man got in. Haha, I, Kang Langcai, am loyal to Your Majesty and to Great Zhou. How could I embezzle disaster relief silver?"
"The old man was the head of the household department before he came in. Brother Zhou should know who Qin Zhong was before he joined the cabinet, right?"
"Minister of the Ministry of Finance." Zhou Hao frowned and said, "Does this have something to do with the murder of the prince?"
"It doesn't matter much."
Kang Langcai next door shook his head and said faintly: "Five years ago, the old man and Mr. Zhang Juming were appreciated by His Majesty, and they were promoted at the same time. The old man was promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Hubu, and Mr. Zhang Juming was promoted to the minister of the criminal department."
"Qin Zhong invited us to his home. In fact, I am not qualified. I am just taking advantage of Master Zhang Juming."
"That night when I went to the Qin Mansion, during the middle of the banquet, Zhang Juming walked away angrily."
"This old man is confused. Should he leave or stay?"
"Wait a minute, why did Mr. Zhang Juming walk away in anger?" Zhou Hao said.
Lu Ning didn't know who Zhang Juming was, so he walked out of the cell and looked at Kang Langcai, who was leaning on the iron fence.
Kang Langcai sighed and said: "Qin Zhong always looks loyal in front of His Majesty. He will not hesitate to eat shit when His Majesty asks him to."
"But this person is as traitorous as he is loyal."
"We were invited to go there that night. When the wine was in full swing, Qin Zhong seemed to have mentioned intentionally that since the death of the crown prince, His Majesty has no heirs."
"How can we discuss this kind of matter in private? It is better to call the old man and Lord Zhang Juming. If it is spread out to form a party for personal gain, it is a trivial matter. Talking about royal and state affairs will lose your head."
"Master Zhang Juming has an upright nature. When he heard Qin Zhong's unintended intentions, he immediately snorted and walked away."
"But I'm different, old man. As the head of the Household Department, I still have to rely on Qin Zhong. Although I feel a little unhappy, I smile and nod."
"Later, Qin Zhong's eldest son, Qin Hui, drank too much and spilled the beans, saying that if the prince hadn't been killed...then Qin Zhong snorted coldly, and then Qin Hui quickly said that he had drunk too much and was talking nonsense."
"It can be seen that Qin Zhong knows how the prince died, but for so many years, His Majesty has never found out the cause of the prince's death, right?"
"If Qin Zhong is really loyal, why didn't he tell His Majesty?"
Lu Ning frowned, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but said coldly: "Is this why you came in?"
Kang Lang nodded: "After returning that night, the old man did not express his position, and the matter of promotion has not been announced for a long time. Within a month, the old man was accused of corruption, disaster relief, and disregard of human life..."
As he said this, Kang Lang punched the iron fence in anger.
"Then why don't you tell the truth?" Lu Ning frowned.
"Haha, it's the first time for Mr. Lu to be an official. I don't know how dangerous the officialdom is. Why is the old man fine now and my family is fine too? It's because I didn't say anything, otherwise Qin Zhong would have killed me long ago."
Kang Lang shook his head and smiled.
Lu Ning couldn't help but think of a rumor in his past life: If you confess, you will be lenient and you will go to jail. He refused to be strict and went home to celebrate the New Year.
But you, Mr. Kang, didn’t say anything. It looks like you’re going to sit in jail for a long time.
"What about Master Zhang?" Lu Ning thought for a moment and asked.
He did not remember that there was a prisoner named Zhang Juming on the first floor of the prison.
"Master Zhang is protected by the Minister of Punishment, old man, I have no background!" Kang Lang sighed and sat down on the haystack.
Lu Ning still had doubts in her mind. She looked around and whispered, "Even so, Your Majesty can continue to give birth. How come you can't give birth to a prince despite your efforts every night?"
This question stopped Zhou Hao and Kang Langcai, both of whom shook their heads and said they didn't know.
A ridiculous thought flashed through Lu Ning's mind, wouldn't His Majesty do it?
Impossible. Emperor Mingwu participated in the Battle of Yunlu, which shows how a capable person could fail to do so!
Besides, it was reported this morning that Concubine Qi was pregnant...
Suddenly, Lu Ning's eyes lit up.
He remembered what his elder brother had said about the Battle of Yunlu forty years ago.
Kou Shize originally protected Emperor Mingwu, but later became a pioneer.
For this reason, Emperor Mingwu was attacked and seriously injured.
Could it be that his lifeline was injured?
If this is true, it would be awesome to give birth to two princesses later!
"Ahem...I haven't been here tonight!"
Lu Ning turned around and locked the door of Zhou Hao's cell, coughed slightly and left.
Next two days.
Lu Ning walked around the execution room and then the cell.
Since Yuan Wujie was imprisoned, the laziness of the jailers in the four districts of A, B, C and D has become much better, and more and more people are exercising.
But there are still some old fritters who drink and gamble at dice.
Lu Ning turned a blind eye to this.
This day.
A young man from the Demon Suppressing Department came to Lu Ning and said, "Colonel Lu, Gu Qianhu has invited me."
Lu Ning was slightly stunned, and stood up quickly to look at the young man from the Demon Suppression Division. The latter was not a stranger, and he was wearing Feihe uniform and belonged to a hundred households.
"What do you call me, sir?" Lu Ning followed the young man from the Suppression Division and left with a smile.
"Fang Yunzhan." The young man from the Demon Suppressing Division laughed.
"It turns out to be Mr. Fang. What do you want Mr. Gu to do with me?" Lu Ning asked with a smile.
"We'll know when we get there." Fang Yunzhan didn't say much.
After a while, the two of them came to Wu Yizhao's office together.
Lu Ning glanced at Gu Wushuang sitting in Wu Yizhao's seat and saw the latter staring at him sharply. He immediately lowered his eyebrows slightly, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Mr. Gu before."
Gu Wushuang waved to Fang Yunzhan, who turned and left.
"I heard that you can compose poetry?"
"know a little."
Lu Ning nodded, stood up and looked at Gu Wushuang.
"You are good at poetry. Fortunately, the eldest princess loves poetry. Otherwise, if you had been someone else, you would have been jailed." Gu Wushuang snorted at the end.
Lu Ning lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Lu Wushuang then started to get to the point: "Is King Peng Hu the judge?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Sir, yes."
Gu Wushuang asked: "What method was used?"
Lu Ning hesitated and then told the story about the dark room of despair.
Gu Wushuang and Wu Yizhao both frowned upon hearing this.
Obviously, he doesn't quite understand Lu Ning's method of "fighting without bloodshed", but as long as the results can be verified, it's a good idea.
Gu Wushuang frowned and said, "I heard from Mr. Wu that you want to go to the second floor of the Heavenly Prison?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I have this idea, but I don't have enough qualifications."
Wu Yizhao on the side said angrily: "You are not strong enough either."
I'm enough... Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "That's right, I'm not strong enough either!"
Gu Wushuang's lips curled up coldly. He could still feel a trace of Qi from Lu Ning before, but recently he couldn't feel it at all, so he asked, "Are you practicing some kind of breathing technique?"
There are many talented people in Tianjian Prison, and it is normal for some talented and motivated jailers to learn skills from the strong prisoners incarcerated.
There was once such a number one person in the prison.
He is still guarding the fourth floor of Tianlao.
He can be said to be one of the best people in the Demon Suppression Division.
Therefore, Lu Wushuang had no doubts that Lu Ning had true energy in his body, but was just surprised.
After all, Lu Ning is only seventeen years old, and at this age he has reached the seventh level Qi Sea.
Although not as good as her, he is still considered a genius.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that Gu Wushuang discovered the true energy before he obtained the Turtle Breath Art.
It's just that he hasn't seen through Gu Wushuang's strength until now.
Could it be the fourth-grade Wanxiang realm?
"Master Gu asked, why are you stunned?" Wu Yizhao said angrily from the side.
"Sir, I have practiced." Lu Ning nodded hurriedly.
"What is the seventh level?" Gu Wushuang asked.
"Later stage." Lu Ning thought for a while and said.
Since Gu Wushuang had seen through it before, there was nothing to hide.
However, Wu Yizhao on the side opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief: "The fifth-level mental skills and sword skills I gave you haven't been given for a month, right?"
"Sir, maybe it's because I'm talented." Lu Ning said without blushing or out of breath.
Hearing this, Gu Wushuang and Gu Wushuang looked stunned.
I have never seen such a thick-skinned person!
Gu Wushuang glanced at Lu Ning angrily:
"Pack up and follow me to the Demon Suppression Division to participate in the trial."
