Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth prison visit
(Thank you for your support from the book friend "jiushu to the world"!)
Qian Yiai heard Zhao Mengguan complaining here and his heart moved. The Jinyiwei has always been Qian Lide's territory. Qian Lide has had a good relationship with Tong Yangjia, and the prince can't get involved with the Jinyiwei at all. Now Zhao Mengguan is lucky. If he helps him, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to reach out to the Jinyiwei?
As a national prison, the Zhao Prison naturally occupies a large area. The front and back of the Zhao Prison is close to the yard. The row of houses in front is a Tianzi cell. The detainees here are all imperial prisoners. But don’t think that everyone here is locked up. If you don’t have a certain social status, you can’t even get in. The court has laws, and only senior officials of the fourth rank or above can be locked up in the Zhao Prison, and other officials must be locked up in the Xing County Tianzi Prison.
Behind the Emperor's cell is the Di Cell, where some small groups that were detained against the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Hongsan were also detained, as well as some bad elements from the reactionary corps in the world. These people are the targets of the Iron Fist of the Ming Dynasty's dictatorship.
Qian Yiai visited the chief minister Chen Zizhuang, and of course he was imprisoned in the Tianzi cell. When he came to the door, Qian Yiai saw that the Tianzi cell was made of terrazzo with water. It was three feet thick and three feet high. There was a one-foot radius window two feet above the ground. There were several steel bars as thick as duck eggs. Qian Yiai looked at the Jinyiwei standing guard outside the Tianzi cell. It was really ten steps, one foot, one whistle, and the protection was very tight.
This is the first time Qian Yiai has been to the imperial prison. When he was listening to books, he always heard the heroes and heroes in the world robbing the heavenly prison. Now, it seems that this is really a novelist's opinion. Not to mention the heroes in the world who use cold weapons, even if the army uses cannons to bombard them for a while, it will not be able to bombard them.
Qian Yiai asked Zhao Mengguan: "Mr. Zhao, who are the people in the prison now?"
"Return to Mr. Qian, there were some spies from the Qing Dynasty in the Dizi cell behind him, and some nobles from the former Ming Dynasty. There were only three people in the Tianzi cell in front of him, one was Chen Zizhuang, and the other was Huang Zongxi, a Hanlin scholar who was imprisoned before the New Year. The other was the most troublesome, which was the royal relative Zhao Dequan!"
Qian Yiai heard Zhao Mengguan say this and remembered Zhao Dequan who was framed by him. This guy was imprisoned in the imperial prison just after he arrived in Nanjing, and it has been almost two months since he arrived in Nanjing.
"Mr. Zhao, why bother with Zhao Dequan?"
Zhao Mengguan heard Qian Yiai ask, and complained: "Young Master, don't you know that Zhao Dequan is the royal relative, or the cousin of the Prince of Wuchang, and the cousin of His Majesty the Emperor. Although the emperor has the will to be imprisoned, we dare to treat him badly. Unexpectedly, this guy is more arrogant and relies on the strength of the Prince of Wuchang to shout in the prison in the prison, and he has to eat a chicken every day. The most hateful thing is that every few days, we will find a little girl to relieve fire! This is the terrified Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, which has completely become a half-closed door in the Nancheng!"
Qian Yiai didn't expect that Zhao Dequan would have lived so freely in the past few months. He said to Zhao Mengguan: "Sir Zhao, please take me to see this Zhao Dequan first!"
"Young Master, Zhao De, this person from all over the city, scolds anyone he sees. He has scolded me several times. I advised you not to go and see it!"
"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, he dare not scold me!"
Zhao Mengguan made up his mind when he saw Qian Yiai, but he had no choice but to get Qian Yiai to Zhao Dequan's place first.
When Qian Yiai entered the prison, he smelled a bloody smell. In addition, there was no ventilation for a long time, and there was a smell of stinking in the prison. Qian Yiai covered his nose and came to Zhao Dequan's cell to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dequan lived a very comfortable life. There was a set of pink printed quilts on the ground covered with straw. Zhao Dequan lying on it with his legs crossed, holding a straw in his mouth and humming a tune.
"Zhao Dequan, are you doing a very comfortable life?"
Zhao Dequan lay on the ground and heard someone rumor at the door. He sat up and cursed in anger: "That unsightly bastard, how dare you say your Master Zhao's sarcastic words? Do you know Mr. Zhao's backstage? The emperor is my cousin, and the prince of Wuchang is my relative's younger brother. The current prince wants to call me uncle, you will die!"
Zhao Dequan got up and followed the sunlight in the small window. There was a handsome young man standing at the door of the prison cell, Qian Yiai who framed him.
When Zhao Dequan saw this guy, he dared to see him. His enemies were so jealous that they met. Zhao Dequan rushed to the door of the cell, grabbed the iron railing and cursed.
"Qian Yiai, you bastard, you little mother raised me. Isn't it just a little conflict with you? You actually framed me and beat the imperial envoy! Are you a human being? Wait, as long as I go out, I will kill you bastard!"
Zhao Mengguan knew why Zhao Dequan came in. He heard that he was beating the imperial envoy, but he didn't expect that the handsome young master Qian in front of him was framed. It seemed that the literati's heart was all black.
Qian Yiai saw Zhao Dequan being furious and laughed: "Zhao Xiaoqi, how dare you scold me? Do you believe this? I use some means to exile you for Luzon?"
Zhao Dequan was so scared when he heard Qian Yiai say this. He had heard of Luzon that a large island thousands of miles away from the Central Plains was full of life-saving animals. Can he still live after he went there?
Zhao Dequan did not expect Qian Yiai to be cruel and unruly. He just scolded him and wanted to send him to Luzon. Zhao Dequan quickly knelt down and kowtowed and cried, "Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian, please let the young man go! The young man is simply a gangster. Mr. Qian, you can't make a mistake with me, just treat the young man as a fart and let the young man go!"
Qian Yiai saw Zhao Dequan surrenderingly, and was happy in her heart and smiled and said, "How to look at Mr. Qian's mood!"
Zhao Mengguan didn't expect that Zhao Dequan was usually tight, and now Qian Yiai's pen is straight.
Qian Yiai looked at Zhao Mengguan, who was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhao, why don't you take me to see Lord Chen!"
Seeing that Qian Yiai was leaving, Zhao Dequan stomped on the iron railing and shouted: "Uncle Qian, Grandpa Qian, you must save the young man!"
Qian Yiai ignored him. As soon as he walked through several cells, he heard someone talking in one cell.
"Zigao, are you afraid of losing your identity when you talk to a villain in the city?"
Qian Yiai stood still and saw a tall middle-aged man locked in the cell. He was sitting on the ground, with a small table in front of him, writing quickly.
Qian Yiai recognized this person as a Hanlin bachelor, Huang Zongxi, Zuozhongyun of Zhan Shifu.
Qian Yiai has a good relationship with the prince Zhu Hai. He went to the prince's mansion to listen to Huang Zongxi's several classes. He can be regarded as Huang Zongxi's disciple. Seeing the teacher here today, Qian Yiai quickly cleaned up and knelt down on his knees and said to the teacher.
Although Qian Yiai has not officially become a disciple, he has also heard Huang Zongxi's lessons, so it is not too much to kneel down and worship.
Huang Zongxi liked the smart Qian Yiai very much, and Huang Zongxi had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. Although Qian Qianyi's character made Huang Zongxi despise him, he still recognized Qian Yiai as a registered disciple.
"Zigao, why are you doing here in this imperial prison?"
After Qian Yiai gave the ceremony, he stood up and said respectfully: "Teacher, the student comes to ask Lord Chen a few words at the order of Your Majesty!"
Huang Zongxi was a man of treacherous horses and cunning. He knew at first that the emperor was preparing to spare Chen Zizhuang. Although Huang Zongxi and Chen Zizhuang belonged to different parties, he still admired Chen Zizhuang's character Huang Zongxi very much.
"Okay, Mr. Chen was framed by a rape boy, and he should be wronged!"
Qian Yiai didn't dare to continue hearing Huang Zongxi's words. You should know that it was Ma Mingyuan who framed Chen Zizhuang, and Ma Mingyuan was the prince's father-in-law and uncle. Now that the teacher scolded his uncle, Qian Yiai decided not to speak.
Huang Zongxi did not look up at Qian Yiai, but was still lowering his head to write wildly. Qian Yiai asked in order to change the subject: "Teacher, what are you writing?"
"Oh! I am writing the "Chief of the First Year of the Lu Period of the State of the People's Republic of China". That history cannot be overwhelmed. I decided to take advantage of the fact that I can still write it down in detail!"
Qian Yiai sighed secretly when she heard Huang Zongxi say this. King Zhu Yihai of Lu was killed by the current Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan for one year. Now that the teacher wants to write about the history of King Lu, he must write about the cause of King Lu's death. According to the teacher's personality, he must tell the truth. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster!
But Qian Yiai is a student, so how can he persuade the teacher? Qian Yiai can only say: "Don't worry, the student will rescue the teacher with the prince in a few days! The student now has the emperor's will, so he will not accompany the teacher!"
Huang Zongxi nodded and suddenly said, "Zigao, you are young and don't know the dangers of the court. If you ask me later, go back. Don't have too much contact with Chen Zizhuang, it will be bad for you!"
Huang Zongxi knew that with Chen Zizhuang's fall, the court would definitely eliminate Guangdong forces. It would be really bad if Qian Yiai and the Guangdong faction had too deep a dispute.
But Huang Zongxi didn't know the difficulties of Qian Yiai. Qian Yiai sighed and gave a deep bow, saying, "The teacher has been bothered, the students know!"
As the chief minister, Chen Zizhuang naturally treated the best, and his cell was in the last room. Qian Yiai went to the cell and saw that the cell actually had a bed, table, chairs, and benches. Compared with other cells, it was completely a high room.
Chen Zizhuang hasn't seen Cang grow old a lot in the past half month. Of course, this is a cell, not a home. Although the Jinyiwei has not used any torture, the daily torture is not easy.
When Chen Zizhuang heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was Qian Yiai who came.
"What are Zigao doing?"
Chen Zizhuang, who is Qian Yiai's uncle, bowed and said, "Uncle, my son-in-law comes to ask a few words according to the emperor's order!"
Chen Zizhuang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, ask!"
"Chen Zizhuang, what am I to you?"
Chen Zizhuang knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to the old minister, I am sorry to you!"
"Chen Zizhuang, do you have any complaints if I want to kill your whole family?"
"The old minister made mistakes first, but the old minister was completely blamed and could not blame others!"
Qian Yiai nodded. Chen Zizhuang shouldn't have to die if he had these two sentences.
"Chen Zizhuang, do you have any last words?"
