While unlocking the lock, the prison head said, "Wei Chen is inside. The Lord can talk to him slowly. We are all waiting outside. If you have any orders, just say hello."
The iron gates of the prison are specially made, and the door holes are very short. People must bow down if they want to enter.
It is said that this is to remind people in prison to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
Ning Wang stooped into the cell.
Wei Chen, who was originally sitting on the ground, immediately stood up after hearing the sound of opening the door. He looked at the fat man coming in and asked suspiciously, "are you?"
King Ning smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and was very kind: "I am the uncle of the son of heaven."
Today, the emperor has only one uncle alive, that is king Ning!
Wei Chen immediately knew the identity of the other party and bent down to salute: "see the Lord."
King Ning waved his hand: "don't be polite. I came to see you on purpose. Have you eaten all the wine and vegetables I sent you before?"
"Yes, thank you for your kindness."
Wei Chen paused here and couldn't help asking his doubts.
"Take the liberty to ask, why did the Lord treat me so politely? We didn't seem to meet before. "
Ning Wang said with a smile, "your sister is my lifesaver."
Wei Chen suddenly said, "it turned out that I was stained with my sister's light."
Ning Wang looked around and felt that the environment of the cell was too bad. He called the prison head in.
"Let someone clean this place. It's cold. You have to prepare a brazier and add two more bedding to the bed."
The prisoner bowed down, turned and went out to arrange for someone to come in and clean, and brought two chairs by the way.
Ning Wang was too fat and tired after standing for a long time. Seeing a chair, he immediately sat down happily. He asked Wei Chen to sit together.
Wei Chen refused: "I'm a sinner. I'm not qualified to sit down. Just stand."
"But when you stand like this, I have to look up at you. My neck is tired after watching you for a long time. You'd better sit down. There are no outsiders here. I have something to ask you. "
Wei Chen had to sit down: "what do you want to ask me?"
King Ning said, "I heard you have seen the assassin who assassinated the prince with your own eyes?"
"Yes."
"Does he have any characteristics?"
Wei Chen had said this many times before. At this time, he was asked again. He was not impatient at all and said everything he saw carefully.
King Ning thought, "the hoop legs... Riding... Ordinary civilians are not qualified to ride horses. Except for generals, there are only door guests raised by aristocratic families who can ride horses for a long time."
Wei Chen said, "it's five days since the assassination. The assassin either ran away or was killed. You can't find him again."
Seeing his calm face, King Ning couldn't help saying, "if you can't find the North assassin, you have to bear the charge of assassinating the prince."
"The prince is awake. He can prove my innocence."
Ning Wang touched his round chin: "the Prince did wake up, but the Emperor didn't mean to let you out of prison. Do you know what this means?"
"It means the emperor wants me to be a bait."
Ning Wang suddenly smiled, "can you ask why you think so“
"The assassin deliberately led me to the scene of the crime and happened to seize the right time to let people find me. There was a seamless capture of stolen goods. All this is too coincidental. The real murderer behind the scenes tried his best to set up this situation, not only to kill the crown prince, but also to lead me into the trap. Now the crown prince has survived by chance. The plan of the real murderer behind the scenes has failed, but they will certainly not give up, And try to hurt me. The Emperor didn't let me out of prison in order to let everyone know that I was locked up in Dali temple. The real murderer behind the scenes would not miss this opportunity. As long as they move their hands, the emperor can send people to catch turtles in a jar, so as to find out the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes. "
Obviously, he said something about his life, but Wei Chen's tone was very calm.
King Ning couldn't help asking, "aren't you afraid? If you let the real murderer behind the scenes succeed, your life will be lost. "
Wei Chen said, "if I'm afraid, I won't be an official in the dynasty."
There are infighting everywhere in the court. If you are careless, you will lose your life. If you are afraid of death, what kind of official should you be? Wouldn't it be better to go home and plant sweet potatoes?!
Ning Wang couldn't help laughing: "ha ha, you child is really interesting. I like it! Don't worry. Now I've taken over the position of secretary of Dali temple. I'll cover you and won't let you have anything. "
"Thank you for your care."
The jailer cleaned the cell, brought the brazier and paved the bedding. In addition, the jailer specially brought a set of tables and chairs with oil lamps and two books to relieve boredom. This service can be said to be very considerate.
The cold and dark cell was so arranged that it suddenly became much more comfortable.
Ning Wang was very satisfied with this and told the prison to take good care of Wei Chen.
When King Ning was ready to leave, Wei Chen suddenly opened his mouth and reminded him.
"If you want to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, you can go to Guangzhao temple. That place is the place of the crime. The assassin may leave some clues there."
If he hadn't been in prison, he would have gone to Guangzhao temple to investigate.
King Ning nodded and said, "I'll go there and have a look. You have a good rest. I'll see you another day."
After leaving Dali temple, King Ning took a carriage to Guangzhao temple.
His carriage was stopped on the way.
Ning Wang lifted up the window curtain and looked forward. He saw a young man standing in front of the carriage.
It was Fu Qi, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an.
Fu Qi went to the window and bowed: "see the Lord."
Ning Wang asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You look taller. Have you got married?"
Fu Qi: "
He smiled dryly: "not married yet."
Ning Wang asked, "shall I introduce you to someone?"
Fu Qi really couldn't laugh. He endured the feeling of egg pain and said, "thank you, No."
King Ning asked again, "why don't you find someone at such an old age?"
Fu Qi: "
If he had nothing to do, he really wanted to run away now.
What did the elders ask for three times? It's really terrible!
Seeing that he was so handsome that his face turned red, King Ning couldn't help laughing: "you're still as fun as when you were a child. Just teasing you can make you anxious. Come on, what are you doing to stop my carriage?"
Fu Qi hurriedly said, "I heard that the Lord took over the position of secretary of Dali temple. Can I ask you a favor?"
"What's up?"
"I want to see Wei Chen. He is now locked up in Dali temple. His parents are very worried. I hope I can help see if he is well now."
Ning Wang was quite surprised: "you have a good relationship with Wei Chen?"
"I have a good relationship with Wei Chen's sister. Now his sister is not in Bianjing. I have to help watch him."
