The oil lamp illuminated the dim cell, and the moonlight illuminated the catwalk outside the cell pale and translucent.
The little feathered man helped the noble man in the carriage get out of the carriage. Yuan stepped firmly on the bench and got off. He raised his hand, and the little feathered man who helped him immediately reached out and took the whisk from his hand.
Xiao Yuren already has a new face, no longer Agui.
His name is Jin Yi, who was newly picked up from Yu'an Mansion to follow him.
Jinyi was originally called Koi. Yu'an disliked the gaudy name, so he changed the name from Li to Yi, which means keeping etiquette in mind and doing your duty.
Agui loves to laugh and talk, but Jinyi is relatively silent, just keeping her head down and doing her own thing, and doesn't care about anything else. Yuan looked over at any time and saw him silently following him with his head lowered.
Yu An liked this very much, especially after sending A Gui away.
The chief warden of the Imperial Examination Station bent down and hugged Yu'an: "Do you have an inspection order, sir?"
Yu'an smiled: "There is a boy who is working in the house and made some mistakes. He came in yesterday. His father is an old man who has served me. Last night he came to me with runny nose and tears. I see. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I came to visit him on behalf of his father. I was leaving in a hurry and didn't have time to ask for a visit, so I hope you'll be accommodating."
The Yujiantai Prison is the main prison of the Yu clan. Visitors must have a visiting order issued by the Yujiantai Judiciary before entering. This is the law.
However, the law is the law, and as you go through the levels, you will inevitably become slack and relaxed.
What's more, nothing major has happened to the Yu clan in recent years. Over the years, except for the recent incident with King Shunde, nothing else has been mentioned.
Therefore, in the Yujiantai Prison, except for some serious criminals, others are treated casually in private.
This has become a tacit thing for everyone.
Jinyi stuffed a bulging bag into the hands of the chief warden at the Imperial Examination Station. The warden smiled and let Yu An go: "It's just a small crime. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and considerate of the subordinates. How can I be a stone-cold officer?" My lord, you are kindhearted.”
Yu'an smiled, bent slightly towards him, and was helped in by Jinyi.
After entering the door, Yu An came to the child's cell door. Yu An smiled and winked at Jin Yi.
Jin Yi was ordered to take out a bag of silver from her arms. It looked much smaller than the bag just now, but this was only quite a lot for the average jailer at the imperial examination station.
Jinyi smiled and handed the money to the jailer: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. The cold weather is still here in this humid place. It will be very bad for your health in the long run. I understand you and will send you some wine money." Adults, drink some wine to warm yourself up and serve our Yu Clan better."
The two jailers blushed and smiled sheepishly, but they did not refuse. They pretended to decline: "This... how can this be done?"
"Your Majesty." Jinyi put the money into his hand: "Don't worry, adults. My lord has brought the soldiers from the house and will help you watch the prisoners in the prison. My lord is here to follow you. If he talks, nothing will happen.”
All the jailers were very moved. Anyway, it was the chief jailer who let the person in. If anything happened, he would be the one to bear the responsibility. It was not their fault.
The jailers said: "In that case, thank you so much, sir."
After all the jailers went out, Yu'an's entourage put a black cloak on him and left the prison in another direction.
King Shunde's cell was at the deepest part of the Imperial Examination Platform. Yu'an's feet were already wet when he arrived here. He was a little warm from walking, so he handed the Tang Pozi in his hand to Jinyi.
King Shunde opened his eyes slightly, and he was caught off guard by a blur of gorgeous clothes.
He looked up along the hem of the clothes, and when he saw Yu'an, it was as if he was seeing his own mother. He shouted and rushed forward: "Sir, sir! What's going on, sir!"
King Shunde grabbed Yu'an with a panicked look on his face: "Isn't this king in your residence, sir? Why did he end up in Qin Qin's hands?"
Yu'an squatted down slowly, looked at the old face of King Shunde that had become haggard overnight, and pretended to be injured: "My lord, you were frightened and fainted that day. I urgently called for a doctor." I’m here to treat you. I don’t want to hear the noise on the street. Qin Qin has already requested a search warrant and is searching from house to house. He is causing a lot of disturbance to the people during this time. I don’t need to think about it to know what he is searching for!”
Yu'an looked angry: "Although I was anxious at the time, I was still not dizzy. I immediately decided to send someone to send the prince out of the city. He immediately got up and headed to the south. I sent two-thirds of the secret guards in the house to secretly protect the prince. , but I didn’t want to...but I didn’t want to be defeated by Qin Qin on the outskirts of the city with his heavy force against his small force!"
"The suburbs of the city..." King Shunde murmured: "That's not right, sir, Qin Qin didn't catch me in the suburbs of the city, he caught me at Qingyue Tower, Qingyue Tower on Zhuhua Street!"
Yu'an didn't expect that he gave King Shunde two packets of intoxicating drugs. He actually remembered where he was caught. He sneered in his heart, his face seemed to be completely unaware, and he was surprised: "In Qingyue Tower?! Why? It will be at Qingyue Tower! Qingyue Tower was closed down only after the reactionary court elements were discovered, so why did Qin Qin go straight there to arrest the prince? "
"Why else!" King Shunde gritted his teeth with hatred: "He is afraid that my crime will not lead to death, but he will frame me for another serious crime!"
King Shunde sat down on the dirty grass: "Trading feathers, trading power and sex, colluding with powerful people, plus the arms smuggling and suspicion of Jianghu reaction that Qin Qin set up for me, it's over... it's over... "
He covered his face in pain, and the centuries-old family suddenly collapsed in his hands. Thousands of gold and silver will no longer be placed in the ancestral tomb of the Prince of Shunde. He is the sinner of the entire clan.
"How shameful that I have worked hard for half my life and enjoyed all the wealth, but I have not saved a single descendant! In the end, for such a big family, all I have to do is make wedding clothes for others. Qin Qin has a lot of power in his hands, but has no financial income. He is deliberately trying to investigate this king's underground trade. In the market, he also plotted this deadly crime, saying that it was not for my king’s trading company in the south, and I will not believe it until my death!”
King Shunde's eyes were scarlet and he was gnashing his teeth. Qin Qinruo was in front of him, and he had to eat him alive!
"Destroy my heirs, smear my crimes, covet my ancestral property, seize wealth and kill people! Qin Qin, life after life, this king will never share the same fate with you!" King Shunde's roar was terrifying and unpleasant, and it echoed for a long time in the room where only he and Yu'an Jinyi were alone. Deep inside the cell.
Yuan's face shared his hatred, and Qin Qin's power in the Yu clan was also the biggest thorn in his heart.
"But I am not willing to give in! I am not willing to give in! The centuries-old foundation of the Shunde Palace is the hard work of our ancestors. How could it be taken away by a villain from a foreign race! Even if I go underground, I have no face. To the ancestors!" King Shunde was furious, his body trembled, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"My lord, please take care of yourself!" Yu'an quickly supported him, not caring about the dirt, and hurriedly asked Jinyi to bring a handkerchief to wipe him.
King Shunde fended off his hand weakly and laughed miserably: "Now the spring is ruined with flowers, and there will be no tomorrow. How can we take care of ourselves in this situation!"
"My lord, please don't say that. Emperor Yu has not issued any order to kill the prince so far. He only asked people to arrest the prince and bring him to justice, but did not say how to deal with it. This shows that Emperor Yu still has a glimmer of hope in his heart. Over the years, the prince has been for Yu The contribution made by the clan far outweighs that stain, even if the merits and demerits are equal, it will not be a capital crime!"
"If he still had a sliver of room in his heart, he would not tolerate Qin Qin being allowed to do things so decisively." King Shunde said with blood in his mouth that he had not vomited cleanly: "In the past few years since he came to power, he has treated us as royal relatives. Haven't we done enough decisive things? We are no longer in a position to survive."
The family was at the end of its rope, and King Shunde knew it.
Even though he knew it, he felt that he would inevitably die, but he would not be willing to let tens of thousands of businesses in the south fall into the hands of the enemy.
There are evil ghosts all over the place, and he can no longer escape them. Since his sins have deepened and his infamy will last for thousands of years, he might as well try his best to get revenge.
King Shunde held Yu'an's hand firmly, his expression was urgent, and his words were urgent but difficult: "I have been in the royal family of the Yu clan for decades. How much have I done for them, how much money have I paid, and how much have I supported Gu Ming?" People of the Yu Clan! I can’t accept how they treat me now! I can’t rest in peace! If I don’t avenge this revenge, I won’t be able to eliminate this overwhelming resentment in the next life!”
King Shunde's clothes were completely messed up, and he no longer looked like a prince. He never wanted to be the prince of the Yu family royal family again.
The messy hair was stained with blood, just like the rotten bones of the same boat.
He said: "I know where your hands extend. They are the nations that once invaded us, but the cruel infringement is not even comparable to what Qin Qin and Gu Ming brought to me. I am now at the end of my rope and on the verge of death." They are exhausted, but their hearts are unwilling! We are both evil ghosts walking in the world, Qin Qin’s hands are stained with blood and he has passed wealth, and Gu Ming is ungrateful and murders his own relatives, so why should they live well? "
"They want to preserve this ignorant people's world, but I won't let them get their wish! I want this world to be in chaos again, I want Qin Qin to die on the battlefield, and I want Gu Ming to lose the world!"
But hatred blinded the eyes, and all national interests and belonging to the country became things that were forgotten.
King Shunde's eyes and clothes were already torn to pieces. He was not willing to give in. He wanted Gu Ming's world to be broken as well.
"All the information about my trading company in the south is stored in a secret room on the outskirts of the city. I am already dead. Today I will tell you about them. Your Excellency helped me after I was in trouble. I am grateful for this kindness." I thanked you, so I handed over one-third of the business to you. This is my reward for your perseverance. The remaining two-thirds..."
King Shunde glared sternly: "I ask you, sir, to hand over the remaining two-thirds to the Miao people for me! Tell them on my behalf that I wish them unstoppable momentum and make waves!"
He has been forced into a desperate situation, everything is gone, and whoever harms him will die without burial.
Yu'an shook his hands, as if he was frightened and couldn't understand: "Could what the prince said... be the truth?"
"No joke." The King of Shunde ran out of oil, and that mouthful of blood took away his expectations and his foundation.
Now he is just an empty shell filled with hatred.
Yu'an frowned and was silent in thought. King Shunde grabbed him again and said, "Please help me one last time. In this life, I have come to the end..."
Yu'an finally couldn't bear to help him up, and said in pain: "I, like the prince, are both the life officials of the Yu clan, but I live under Qin Qin's oppression. I have been angry for a long time. Although I feel unfair in my heart, the Yu clan has done something for me. Although the mother clan has had business dealings with the Miao people over the years, they have never thought of betraying them."
