Chapter 65 Who has the final say
Liang Jianfang hesitated for a moment, but he endured the pain, clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Chen Yu said: "Your substitute was escorted to the capital by the Qingyun Guards along the original route. Do you know how he is now?"
Liang Jianfang stared at him closely.
"He didn't even make it to Yi'an. He was crushed into a meat pie by a rock at Long Jingfeng in Huaitang County. The other side used hundreds of death warriors," Chen Yu paused and asked, "Tell me, how anxious is your master to see you die?"
Liang Jianfang's eyes were red with anger, and Chen Yu tore the cloth out of his mouth.
"No, it's impossible!" Liang Jianfang didn't believe it.
"You don't believe it?" Chen Yu asked, "Didn't anyone tell you about this when you were imprisoned in the palace?"
From Liang Jianfang's expression, Shen Yu understood that someone had told him, but he must not have believed it and thought Xie Tingzhou was just trying to trick him.
But now, the same words spoken by different people have different effects. She can see that Liang Jianfang is wavering, but she knows that Liang Jianfang will not believe it now.
Chen Yu said, "Do you believe it or not, someone will come to take your life within three days?"
She took two steps back and said faintly, "Of course you won't believe me now, so why don't we make a bet? If you are still alive after three days, I will give you a chance to live, provided that I know the truth."
Chen Yu left. Liang Jianfang thought for a moment and suddenly started pounding on the door, "Someone come! Someone come!"
The jailer on night watch was woken up in the middle of the night and came over impatiently, "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?"
"Someone sneaked in," Liang Jianfang said anxiously, "and just stabbed me."
The jailer had been guarding the door and had not seen anyone come in or out. He smiled when he heard this and asked, "Where is that person?"
“Run away.”
"What about the injury?"
Liang Jianfang looked through his robes, "Legs, legs... eh?"
I clearly saw that person cutting his leg before, and it hurt a lot for a while, and it's still burning with pain, but there's no wound on his leg at all?
The jailer thought he was talking in his sleep, "Liang, you can't escape the death penalty by pretending to be crazy and stupid."
Liang Jianfang is most afraid of death.
If he refuses to give up the person behind the scenes, the other party will only promise that he will not die, but will be exiled at most.
The specific method of exile is also decided by that person.
"I'm not playing dumb," Liang Jianfang said, "I've seen that man in Shen Zhongan's army. He seems to be Shen Zhao's guard."
The jailer woke up instantly from his doze and ran hurriedly to the room where Shi Yu was imprisoned.
Seeing that the man in the cell was still snoring, the jailer checked the lock on the door again. The lock was still in good condition and no one had touched it.
Late at night, a tall figure sneaked out of the Dali Temple prison, and after several detours, he arrived at the residence of a certain lord in the East Market.
…
On the evening of the second day, Chen Yu came out of the Dali Temple.
There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the Dali Temple, as well as several sedan chairs for officials who had come to do business.
Chen Yu walked down the steps, and Chang Liu immediately jumped down from the shaft of the cart, "Shi Yu."
Chen Yu smiled and walked over, "Why bother you to pick me up? I can go back by myself."
Chang Liu smiled and said, "It's not me who is bothering you."
Chen Yu understood the deep meaning, got into the car, opened the curtain and got in.
The regulations inside scared her, but she wasn't that important now. The car looked okay from the outside, but it was too luxurious inside.
She lifted the curtain again and came out. The inside of the vehicle was covered with a layer of soft white fur. She had spent a night in prison yesterday and was afraid of getting the fur dirty.
"Why did you come out?" Changliu asked.
"My life is worthless," Chen Yu and Chang Liu sat on the shaft together, "I don't dare to take such a good carriage. It feels like it is sending me away."
Changliu smiled.
"Let's go." Chen Yu said.
"No hurry," Chang Liu said, "His Highness hasn't come out yet."
Chen Yu was surprised, "Your Highness is here too?"
She thought Xie Tingzhou was just casually warning the people in Dali Temple, but she didn't expect him to really come to pick her up.
"That's right," Chang Liu pointed with his hand, "I met the head of the Censorate on my way here, so I asked him to come in for a cup of tea."
The Dali Temple is next to the Censorate.
Xie Tingzhou has just arrived in Beijing
In the story, he and Li Jifeng have different identities. If he wants to survive here safely, he can't just be a straw bag.
Even if an adult shows kindness to him, he still can't just turn the person away. He still has to accept the opportunity to get in touch with them.
Xie Tingzhou sat in the Censorate for a while. After finishing his cup of tea, he stood up and said goodbye.
"Your Highness, are you in such a hurry to leave?" Deputy Chief Censor Wan Ruixian stood up to see him off.
Wan Ruixian was once sent from Shengjing to a local area as a censor. At that time, he offended a corrupt official. The corrupt official was desperate and colluded with bandits to kidnap Wan Ruixian. That place was close to Beilin, and it was the King of Beilin who came forward to rescue him.
Later, Wan Ruixian's career was very successful and he now sits in the position of Left Vice-Censor-in-Chief, which was also due to some influence of Bei Lin.
Xie Tingzhou glanced outside and said, "It's getting late, let's pick them up and leave."
Wan Ruixian walked out the door and said, "I want to see who needs the prince to come and pick him up personally?"
"It's just a child in the mansion," Xie Tingzhou said with a smile, "Excuse me, he's half grown up, so I have to worry about him more. Please stay, sir."
After stepping out of the gate of the Censorate, Wan Ruixian did not continue to see him off, but stood at the door and watched from afar.
Before Xie Tingzhou got close, the carriage came over and a handsome young man jumped off the shaft and stood in front of him.
"This jail term was not in vain," Shen Yu said with a smile.
The two looked at each other, Xie Tingzhou understood what she meant and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back.
Chen Yu nodded, "But I know the answer. Prison food is terrible."
Wan Ruixian didn't know what the young man said to Xie Tingzhou. From afar, he saw that Xie Tingzhou's face remained normal, but the ice and snow in his eyes that had not melted for years suddenly melted a little.
The two men got on the carriage one after another and got into the compartment. The young boy on the shaft smiled and whipped the carriage, and the carriage drove towards Guanghua Gate.
Shengjing is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The imperial palace, government offices, etc. belong to the inner city, while mansions, streets, etc. belong to the outer city.
In front of Guanghua Gate, a eunuch blocked the carriage's way.
"Excuse me, is it the prince in the car?"
Changliu pulled the reins and said, "Exactly. Is there anything wrong, father-in-law?"
