Chapter 223 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

The court struggles in Daxing were fierce, and there was a lot of personnel turnover. The Dali Temple Minister had changed several times.

The current one was Huang Cai, a fellow Fujianese of Cai Jing, but he was not of the same kind as him. Instead, he was very close to Shaozai Wang Fu.

When Gong Jiu and his friends came, Huang Cai had just received the message. He was not surprised by his arrival and received him personally with courtesy.

His face was full of joy. "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen overnight. I wonder if the prince has any idea?"

"No."

Yuan Feishuang saw that Huang Cai thought he was Gong Jiu's follower and had no intention of paying attention to him. He felt unhappy and directly lifted Huang Cai from his seat, turned him half a circle, and put him aside. He sat down, crossed his legs, and took the teacup that had not been touched in front of Gong Jiu. "What kind of hospitality is this?"

Huang Cai was dizzy and turned around because of his actions. He didn't even want to get angry.

He looked at Yuan Feishuang to make sure that he had never seen this young man. After careful observation, he found that his beautiful face was feminine and his voice was not like that of an ordinary person.

Huang Cai: "I am rude. I wonder if this young man is..."

Yuan Feishuang lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Gong Jiu didn't mean to speak for him. The scene was silent for a while.

At this time, someone came in from outside: "Prime Minister Huang, someone from the Divine Police Department has arrived again."

Yuan Feishuang stood up, "That's great, I'll go and interrogate them."

The yamen runner looked at Huang Cai.

Huang Cai felt that Yuan Feishuang should be a confidant secretly cultivated by the government, otherwise how could he have the confidence to be arrogant in front of him and the Prince of Taiping?

He nodded to the yamen runner, and after getting permission, the yamen runner took Yuan Feishuang away.

Huang Cai asked someone to pour tea for Gong Jiu, and after apologizing to him, he whispered: "The one just now, is he..."

He pointed upwards.

Gong Jiu nodded, Yuan Feishuang was indeed his brother's man.

Huang Cai was very glad that he didn't lose his temper with the young man, otherwise after he went back, he would file a complaint in front of the government, and he would have to spend a lot of money to ask Prime Minister Wang for mercy, which was really not worth the loss.

Huang Cai was just about to flatter Gong Jiu and inquire about the progress of the Cai Jing case, but before he could open his mouth, Gong Jiu stood up impatiently: "I'll go and take a look too, so as not to disturb Lord Huang."

Huang Cai hurriedly followed: "What are you talking about, Prince? It's the responsibility of the Dali Temple, how can it be called a disturbance? Since the prisoner is detained in the Dali Temple Prison, I can't just ignore it. I will go with the prince, and if there is anything I need to do, it will be convenient for the prince to give orders."

"Then let's go."

Yuan Feishuang came to the Dali Temple Prison, patrolled the cells, and compared it with the roster in Liu Yixuan's memory to see if there were any missed ones, and continue to arrest them with the other vest.

The system was horrified: [You are going to catch all the people! Can this prison really hold so many people! Xue Chen: There is no way

. The moral bottom line of those working under Cai Jing is very low. If they are not arrested, they may run away with the money to the Kingdom of Jin.

Not only does he have to arrest Cai Jing's people, but also those on Fu Zongshu's side.

If Tong Guan had not died, Liang Shicheng was replaced by Mi Youqiao, Zhu Jie was messed with by Yun Heyan and is now unable to recover, and Li Yan, Yang Jian and others are weak and not to be feared, Xue Chen would never dare to make such a big move at this time.

System: That makes sense.

Xue Chen: Why not just arrest Zhao Ji directly? The reasons are ready.

System: What reasons? 】

Xue Chen:【My whole family are loyal subjects, dedicated to the country, but Lu Xiaofeng judged others with a mean heart and threw dirty water on us. He forced us to do it!】

System:【……】

This is too petty. Just because Lu Xiaofeng didn't recognize Yu Qi, he wanted to put such a big hat on Lu Xiaofeng!

Xue Chen:【It was decided so happily.】

The system was afraid of being resentful by him, so it didn't dare to say anything.

Yuan Feishuang waved his hand and asked the head of the prison to bring a chair, lifted his robe and sat on it.

The ventilation in the cell was very poor, and only a little light came in from outside. There was not much difference between day and night.

Yuan Feishuang chuckled and said, "Are you all well?"

His voice is so distinctive that it is hard to forget it after hearing it once. Yuan Feishuang often went to Cai Jing's house for a while and met many people.

When he walked outside just now, no one in the cell could see him clearly. After hearing the voice, someone recognized him immediately: "Master Yuan? Is it Master Yuan Feishuang?"

"Master Yuan, Prime Minister Cai is in trouble. It must be Zhuge Zheng and I who did it. He took revenge and arrested us all. Let us out quickly, or it will be too late!"

"Shut up." Yuan Feishuang knocked on the armrest of the chair. After the cell quieted down, he said, "I already know the cause and effect. You gentlemen should calm down and think about it. So many people were arrested and brought to the Dali Temple. How could it be hidden from the emperor?" When

everyone heard this, they all broke out in cold sweat: "The emperor must have been deceived to condone such evil deeds!"

"Evil deeds?" Yuan Feishuang tilted his head and chuckled, "But I heard that after you were arrested, the people were cheering."

"Those bastards, how can they know what's good and bad? Their words can't be taken seriously..."

"Alright." Yuan Feishuang interrupted impatiently and ordered the prison boss next to him, "Bring paper and pen, add a few more lamps, and preferably a few torches to make it brighter."

While the prison boss was away, he came to the front of the cell, paced slowly, and whispered: "I hate Ge Zheng so much. If you fall into his hands, even if you are lucky enough to survive, your career will end here. You'd better think about it carefully, otherwise even if I think of our past friendship, I won't be able to do it."

"But..."

"Tsk." Yuan Feishuang snorted and laughed, "It's not your turn to speak yet."

System: [Did you tremble just now? ]

Xue Chen: [I was caught off guard and felt so corny. Didn't you adjust Xiaofen's voice? 】

System:【Really not! You smoked it yourself!】

Xue Chen:【Okay.】

Just then, Gong Jiu and Dali Temple Minister Huang Cai came over together, and the jailer also brought oil lamps and torches, instantly lighting up the cell as bright as day.

The imprisoned officials saw Gong Jiu clearly, and then saw Yuan Feishuang standing next to them with a smile, and instantly understood everything.

I have heard that Yuan Feishuang is very close to the eldest son of the Taiping Palace. I thought that Prime Minister Cai sent him to make friends with the Taiping Palace and monitor the movements of the Shenhou Palace and the Taiping Palace. Who knew that he would completely surrender to the Taiping King!

Yuan Feishuang surrendered, and Liufenbantang must have found a new backer. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. If these people can't see clearly, they can only wait to be liquidated.

Zhuge Zhengwo has always hated Cai Jing and has no good face for these people. With such a good opportunity in front of him, he will definitely take the opportunity to catch all the Cai party in one fell swoop!

Otherwise, how could they be imprisoned so quickly.

Gong Jiu: "What did you do?"

Yuan Feishuang hooked his shoulders, noticing his brother's body tense up, and smiled even more. "I was going to let them write down their whereabouts last night. The paper and pen were just delivered, and I haven't had time to distribute them yet."

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Let go."

Yuan Feishuang: "I don't want it. If you have the guts, hit me."

Gong Jiu couldn't beat him at all. In order to avoid embarrassment in front of so many people, he could only choose to endure.

When he was "Xue Lian", he didn't let himself go as much as he did outside, but he was definitely not much better.

Xue Lian seemed kind, but he always inadvertently revealed arrogance and cruelty; he was good at playing with people's hearts, but he didn't like to socialize with people. There were many people who had interests with him, but few could become friends with him.

Gong Jiu acquiesced to Yuan Feishuang's approach, which was enough to show that he and Yuan Feishuang had a special relationship. A little thought would reveal that Yuan Feishuang had been very close to the two young masters of the Taiping Palace from the beginning, and it was definitely not a change of attitude today.

Yuan Feishuang saw that his goal had been achieved, so he pushed Gong Jiu aside, ordered people to pass out paper, pens and lamps, and without saying a word, he pulled Huang Cai to the jailer to chat.

Gong Jiu put his hands behind his back, silently looking at the officials in the prison, thinking that Pei Rui had arrested so many people, which was still useful, but after today, he was afraid that he would have a falling out with the Shenhou Mansion.

Huang Cai looked at the officials handing in the written papers in an orderly manner, feeling like he was dreaming. Which of his colleagues was not a pushover? How could they be so cooperative?

Huang Cai asked, "Is this a confession?"

Yuan Feishuang glanced at it casually and handed it to Huang Cai, "It's not a confession, but an alibi. It still needs to be verified by Master Huang. Next, it's Master Lao's turn."

This is different from what was agreed!

"Yuan..."

Yuan Feishuang interrupted him slowly and continued to have the right to speak, "There are not many cells in the Dali Temple Prison, and the number of people that can be imprisoned is limited. It won't be long before more people will be sent here. By then, even if you want to stay, there will be no place."

Huang Cai realized Yuan Feishuang's identity belatedly. Yuan Feishuang and Gong Jiu were so close, and she was Zhao Ji's agent. It was completely beyond his control. Even Wang Fu had never thought of this situation.

He had an ominous premonition. Even if Wang Fu ascended to the high position of Shaozai (Right Prime Minister), what would happen? Without soldiers, you will be at the mercy of others.

Yuan Feishuang called Gong Jiu: "Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to do."

Gong Jiu only realized at this time that he seemed to be used. He looked at Yuan Feishuang deeply and walked past him.

Yuan Feishuang turned his head and glanced at Huang Cai, "Sir Huang, send it directly to Lubingtang after the investigation. It is best to finish it within three days. I still have to go to the palace to meet the emperor."

"Yes, yes, yes."

-

Lu Xiaofeng passed by Yunsheng Pawnshop for the third time. He could not bear it anymore and questioned Yu Qi in his arms: "Are you kidding me?"

Yu Qi was not panicked at all: "Then look for it yourself, don't ask me."

If I can find him, why do I need to ask you?

On the way, they met many constables in black clothes. Those constables were very busy and did not answer questions. Lu Xiaofeng just followed the constables to the Ministry of Justice and did not see Pei Rui at all, but she knew that they were arresting people everywhere.

"Alas." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "The constables brought by Pei Rui walked very scattered. It is not a good idea to look for people blindly. Fortunately, he has not started a killing spree... Are you sure he is nearby?"

"He will definitely go through the East Corner Tower. He may come from Gaoyang Zhengdian in the east, or from Jingling East Palace in the south."

"So you took me around these places?"

Yu Qi said righteously: "What else?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "... Get down."

The person walking is not you, right?

Yu Qi jumped off him, and with two thin legs, he almost knocked Lu Xiaofeng over. He turned half a circle and landed gracefully.
