Chapter 49 Imperial Prison
Before rescuing Chen Jisheng, he had to save his life first, because in the notorious Jinyiwei Prison, people would die anytime, anywhere!
The so-called Imperial Prison, as the name suggests, is the prison that the emperor personally ordered him to be thrown into, known as the 'Prison of the Son of Heaven'.
Those who can be handed down by the emperor are naturally not ordinary people, they are basically princes and ministers, high-ranking officials of the six ministries, and generally small officials below the fourth rank are not qualified to enter!
Whether the criminals here are guilty or not, whether they are dead or alive, depends entirely on the emperor's words, and there is no need for a joint trial by the three divisions or a court hearing by the Ministry of Punishment.
Of course, the management is very strict, let alone the idlers, even if you dare to wander around the gate of the imperial prison, you can be taken down and punished, or even killed with a knife!
The crime is coveting the forbidden area and suspected of attempting to rob the prison.
So when they saw Xiao Chen, Wen Shanchang, and Wei Yuntian coming on horseback, the guards in guard at the gate immediately pulled out their sabers without saying a word!
"Who!" A hundred households stared at Xiao Chen, "Did you dare to ride a horse into the prison, do you want to seek death?"
"Your grandma, you are blind! You don't even know me?" Wei Yuntian got off his horse and cursed with a laugh.
"Yeah! Isn't this Mr. Wei from Xichang? Why do you always come to this poor place when you have time!" The hundred households were startled, and when they took a closer look, it turned out to be Mr. Wei Yuntianwei, a thousand households from Xinjin Xichang. !
He hurried over to take the reins of his horse, showing a flattering smile on his face.
Ordinarily, how many steps does it take to be promoted from a small lieutenant in the Jinyi Guards Division who was abandoned to the current hot Xigong Editing Factory?
It's hard for others to say, but Wei Yuntian took one step, and reached the sky in one step!
It's so cool to hang out with Brother Xiao!
Getting promoted and getting rich, gaining both fame and fortune are just a matter of minutes.
"If you say you're blind, you're really blind! It's fine if you don't know Lao Tzu, but you don't even know Mr. Xiao?" Wei Yuntian walked up to Xiao Chen's horse and stretched out his arm to help him off the horse.
"Xiao Xiaoxiao...Master Xiao?" That Baihu's face turned pale with fright, is that the Master Xiao I know?
Showing off his power at the Lantern Festival, he defeated the awesome little prince of Jie Kingdom Wanyan Pingqiu while talking and laughing, and the number one talented person in the world who easily won five cities for Da Zhou?
The emperor personally appointed the third-rank chief eunuch Bingbi to replace the dead ghost Zhang Zifang and the chief eunuch Xiao Chenxiao who also served as the chief eunuch of the Kunning Palace?
Eunuch Xiao who led the establishment of the Kunning Palace Editing Factory according to the emperor's imperial edict and the empress's edict, and who considers himself the leader of the eunuch?
Single-handedly, bravely entering the Cuiyun Tower by himself, taking down the court's felon with his own hands, that ruthless character Liu Yunhai, the master of the Qinglong Hall of the Tianxuan Society?
I am the governor of Jinyiwei, the Marquis of Pingyang Zhu Xiaochuan calls him his brother, with the military power in his hand, the general Wu Zicheng who commanded the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army and his brother!
The emperor's favorite minister, the empress' confidant, everyone loves her in the palace, but outside, who can see who is confused and famous?
Fuck, this time I can see something alive!
No, why are you so young?
Not daring to take a closer look, he quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and even said that the villain has no eyes, damn it!
"Hahaha, everyone has worked hard, get up quickly, they are all my brothers, what is the crime or not?"
Xiao Chen waited for them to kowtow a few times and had enough pomp before he smiled and signaled that everyone can get up.
Wei Yuntian took out a large silver ingot worth fifty taels from his bosom, and threw it into the hands of those hundred households, "Master Xiao rewards you for drinking."
All the happy snot bubbles came out, and hurriedly thanked him for taking it with both hands, thinking to himself, everyone said that although this Eunuch Xiao is a high-ranking and powerful man, he is approachable and extremely generous, the rumors are indeed true!
"Master Xiao, we are here because we want to see someone, but it's inconvenient not to know?" Wei Yuntian asked loudly.
"Look at what Mr. Wei said! Others are definitely not good, even if the six divisions and nine ministers are here, they won't be able to work! But what are we talking about, Mr. Xiao? Come in, it's cold outside..."
All the stars greeted Xiao Chen into the official office like the moon, made tea, poured water and snacks, asked about his health, flattered him for a long time, and then carefully asked Xiao Eunuch who he wanted to see?
Hearing that it was Chen Jisheng, he immediately grinned and shook his head, showing embarrassment.
"Why can't I see him?" Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"Of course not, it's just that Lord Chen Jisheng has a bad temper. He has been swearing at people all day long since he came in. Except for the emperor, he has scolded all the princes and ministers in the whole dynasty...Even for you, Eunuch Xiao, there is something wrong with your words. So a little offensive."
Seeing Xiao Chen's expression seemed slightly displeased, those hundred households were startled, and hurriedly stood up to explain.
"Oh? He even scolded me?" After hearing this, Xiao Chen was not only not angry, but also a little proud in his heart. He felt that he was already very famous and important, otherwise Chen Jisheng wouldn't scold him. .
"There's not much scolding." Baihu said hurriedly.
"What are you scolding me for?" Xiao Chen was very interested, saying how good he is, and it seems that he has no flaws.
"Hey! Let's say that you are young and frivolous, arrogant and reckless. You are a little talented and can't do business. You only use dirty words to please the emperor and the harem, so that those ignorant people and stupid scholars think that as long as If you can write poetry, you will be able to make a fortune... It can be said that it is a disaster for the country and the people, and it is a great crime."
Xiao Chen said in his heart, Mr. Chen, are you guilty of saying this?
Do you think I am happy to do this, young master? Isn't it because you have no one in the big week, you can't do Wanyan Pingqiu, so the emperor and queen are crying and begging me to come out?
With the power of one person, I saved the face of Da Zhou, raised the national prestige, and took back five cities by the way... Don't you call this a disaster for the country and the people?
You can do it, but you are going to make a fuss, let me see!
Thinking of my young master, I am a modest gentleman, a dignified man, excellent in character and learning, and excellent in both sex and art. I am a person who has all advantages except for shortcomings. You still scold me?
It can be seen that the emperor has not wronged you!
And when you are trapped in the imperial prison and you are about to die, no one will come out to intercede for you!
You are unreasonable at all.
Believe it or not, I won't save you anymore?
"What else did you say?" Seeing Baihu's hesitant expression, there must be something worse.
"Others... it's all his nonsense, it's nothing." Baihu's eyes were erratic, and it seemed that he was not easy to say some nasty dirty words.
Really?
Is he dead now? If you are not dead, take me to see it, and I will personally ask him why he slandered me!
In order to prevent the criminals from escaping from the prison, and to prevent outsiders from robbing the prison, the prisons of the imperial prison are all set up underground, and the defense is extremely strict, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one post.
Down below is even colder and darker, like hell.
Chen Jisheng was locked alone in the prison at the end of the corridor. There was only a table with a broken inkstone on it, a few pieces of straw paper, and a bald brush.
A straw mat was spread on the wet and cold land next to it, and a tattered quilt was piled on it, and a toilet full of excrement and urine was placed in the corner.
A piercing stench rushed straight to the nose.
