Chapter 1220 Release (Reward for the book friend "Huangcheng Lin Guji")
Man Baole laughed and said, "We have a friend who came from Jianzhou and brought some local specialties. I wonder if Lord Tao knows Lord Fu, the Chief Clerk of Jianzhou."
Tao Yi's eyes flickered slightly, "Is he Yue Yushi's relative?"
He didn't know Fu Liang, but he knew Yue Wei. Yue Wei's previous collision was earth-shattering. As the Minister of Justice, he must investigate the whole matter.
Was that advice from Yue Wei genuine or was he bribed? Then he learned about what was going on in Yue Wei's family and that Yue Wei's in-laws had just arrived in the capital.
At that time, he took a casual glance. The Chief Secretary of Jianzhou came to Beijing to report on his work. At that time, he also found out that Zhou Man was entering and leaving the Fu family. He also checked carefully. Until now, he could not be sure whether Yue Wei's idea of banging his head against the pillar to make a protest was his own idea, or he was in cahoots with Zhou Man and others.
Thinking of Ji Xiang and Old Lord Tang who came to deliver the memorial in person, Tao Yi did not refuse, accepted their gifts, and then took them into the Heavenly Prison to pick up the person.
What was beyond Manbao and the others' expectations was that not only the Xiang brothers were imprisoned in that sky prison, but also Ba Pu and Qiu Niang, who were imprisoned in separate cells.
Tao Yi waved his hand, ordering the officers to open the door and bring the people out. Noticing their eyes on Ba Pu and Qiu Niang, he explained, "We had to interrogate them and collect evidence, so they missed the Autumn Execution. Now, all those sentenced to death in the Heavenly Prison have been beheaded, and those exiled have also left. These two are the only ones left."
Manbao and the other two: ...
Manbao glanced at Qiuniang, feeling somewhat reluctant. "Qiuniang, this can be considered a meritorious service, can you spare her life?"
Ba Pu, who was sitting on the other side, immediately grabbed the prison door and said, "Little Miracle Doctor, I have also made contributions. Can I be spared from death?"
Manbao glanced at him, frowned, and was about to speak when Bai Shan said calmly, "Forget it. You have four lives on your hands, and one of them is a police officer."
"That officer isn't a good person. He wasn't chasing me to bring me to justice. I thought about it carefully and realized he might be trying to kill me to silence me, fearing I might reveal their secrets."
Bai Shan said unhappily, "What secrets of theirs do you know? Are they afraid of revealing your secrets?"
He didn't think that an ordinary yamen runner in Maozhou knew about the rebellion.
Ba Pu had no idea why, but seeing that these high-ranking officials had delayed his autumn execution in order to ask him about Qijia Village, it was obviously a big deal.
Xiang Chao, completely unaware of why he was being taken out again, carried Xiang Mingxue on his back and tremblingly came out. Seeing that the three of them were still bothered by a strange prisoner, he angrily said, "It's urgent, why are you still so carefree?"
Manbao: "What's the rush? Oh, we forgot to tell you that Brother Xiang has been pardoned, and we can go home."
Xiang Chao widened his eyes, got excited for a moment and then became speechless:...How could you forget such an important thing?
Manbao nodded to Qiu Niang who was looking at her, then turned and left.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang helped Xiang Chao lift Xiang Mingxue. Xiang Chao felt a lightness on his back and almost fell. He was very disgusted and said, "Stop lifting him, stop lifting him. Our Second Young Master is not that heavy."
He can carry the person out by himself.
In the lobby, Tao Yi took out the documents and asked the prison boss to sign them. After verifying the identities of Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue, the prison boss asked them to sign and seal the documents as well, and then waved goodbye to them.
Manbao was still worried about Qiu Niang. Although her last look was calm, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
Tao Yi glanced at her before saying, "Qiuniang has made great contributions, and the Minister Feng commuted her sentence to exile. This time, Lord Tang has also put her on the pardon list. She only needs to wait for the approval of the higher-ups, and then she can return home after the amnesty is officially issued."
Manbao was overjoyed and thanked Tao Yi solemnly.
Liu Gui drove the carriage over and helped lift Xiang Mingxue into it.
After all five people got on the carriage, they found that it seemed a bit crowded.
So Manbao looked at Bai Erlang, and Baishan also looked at Bai Erlang.
Shirojiro:......
He tried his luck, snorted, then turned around and got out of the carriage, sitting on the shaft with Liu Gui.
Xiang Chao then asked anxiously, "Where are our Xiang family members? Why didn't Master Xiang Liu and the others come to pick us up?"
Bai Shan: "Oh, they live far away. Lord Tao sent someone to Changqing Lane to call us. We came here immediately after receiving the news. We have already sent someone to notify Master Xiang Liu. They should be waiting at my house now."
Xiang Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Mingxue asked, "Your Majesty, is it because of your request that I be pardoned?"
Man Bao said: "How could we have such ability? We asked the Crown Prince and some ministers in the court to help intercede for us."
Xiang Mingxue: "...Isn't that still a favor you asked for?"
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "The process of begging for mercy is a bit complicated. Please listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly. Don't let anything slip when you get out later."
So they told him the story they made up. Of course, the story was too long, and they had only just begun to tell the story when they returned to Changqing Lane. However, the vivid description not only stunned Xiang Chao, but also Xiang Mingxue. They even doubted for a moment whether it was really about him.
Xiang Chaodu touched his chest doubtfully and asked, "Was I that brave when I escaped with the Second Young Master?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded together, "Yes."
Bai Erlang poked his head in from behind the curtain and said, "By the way, I've been planning to write this story down and sell it to bookstores to spread the word. Do you mind if I use you guys as my own creation?"
Bai Shan promoted Bai Erlang, "His handwriting is pretty good, and his writing style is not bad either. The most important thing is that the story was thought up by the three of us together, and it is based on your foundation. Don't worry, the story will definitely not be bad."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "Everyone likes this story very much. When it is finished, you can let him share some of the money with you."
Bai Erlang waved his hand generously and said, "Money and other things are trivial matters. Just a little bit, I want one!"
Bai Shan and Man Bao didn't argue with him, "Okay, all is yours."
Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to care at all, Bai Erlang pushed further and asked, "Then can you write mine instead of both of your names?"
Bai Shan was unhappy. "The story was thought up by the three of us together, and most of it was written by me. I gave you one piece, which is pretty good, and you still want to keep it all for yourself?"
Manbao: "That's right, because we asked you to write it, we didn't share the money with you."
"I don't care about money. I'll give you the money, and you give me the fame."
Manbao looked at Baishan, who hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled then. You don't have a penny."
Bai Erlang's eyes narrowed with joy. He waved his hand and said, "I have plenty of money. I'm not like you who spent all your savings. Since I don't have a share of the money, you can discuss the division among yourselves."
Then he would pull his head out, let the curtains go, and happily start planning how to start writing when he got home in the evening.
The story told orally is different from the story written down, so the writing needs to be smoothed out.
Manbao looked at Baishan, and Baishan also looked at Manbao. They exchanged glances, then turned their heads together to look at Xiang Mingxue.
Xiang Mingxue: ...
Shouldn't such private matters be discussed quietly? Why should they be discussed in front of him?
And giving up the author's name just for such a small amount of money is... too shameless!
See you tomorrow
