Prince of Chaos

Chapter 330
Speaking of Shi Xing, now that Shi Xing is in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he is not panicked at all.

He was alone in a separate cell, and this cell was tidied up, without any peculiar smell. Through the small window at the top, the sunlight in the cell shone obliquely, and he didn't feel a little dark and cramped.

Shi Xing was dressed in a navy blue Taoist robe, sitting relaxedly in front of a pear wood desk in the prison cell. On the desk were several books of ancient sages with yellowed title pages, but in his hand was a book that he had read countless times. "A Dream of Red Mansions".

This "Dream of Red Mansions" was copied word by word by Shi Xing in his spare time, and then bound out with utmost care.

It can be seen that Shi Xing's love for this book is also extraordinary.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Such a wonderful book has no follow-up."

Shi Xing almost recited the content of these eighty chapters backwards.

"Eunuch Chen's literary talent really admires me. However, this Mr. Cao fascinates me even more. I really want to wait until the emperor punishes me and start to travel around Jinling to see the scenery of the southern country described by Mr. Cao. See the past of Jinling."

Shi Xing is really calm, sitting in prison and still thinking about the good life when he gets out of prison.

This man's heart is really unusually big.

Xue Fengxiang, Shi Xing's postgraduate military officer, listened to his answer, and he really admired the old senior's humility and determination from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, Xue Fengxiang was still very young and hadn't started writing "The Peony Pavilion".He has just been selected into the military department for a few years, although he is also considered to be in the official system, but because he and Shi Xing are both fellows and literary youths, oh no, Shi Xing is a literary old man .

And because he was in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs, during these years when Shi Xing was in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Xue Fengxiang respected him, a fellow with a prominent status.

And Shi Xing also likes Xue Fengxiang who is so sensible. Of course, Shi Xing doesn't like Xue Fengxiang because Xue Fengxiang is his fellow villager and junior.

It was because he and Xue Fengxiang chatted very well in the exchange of literature and art, so Shi Xing liked Xue Fengxiang.

Compared with the calm Shi Xing, Xue Fengxiang did seem a little edgy.

Xue Fengxiang looked at Shi Xing, and he said worriedly: "Senior, are you really not worried?"

Shi Xing said indifferently: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If something really happens, the old man is already in the emperor's jail."

Xue Fengxiang sighed, and then said: "Senior, this junior also has a big thing to tell senior when he comes here."

After finishing these half sentences, Xue Fengxiang paused, and Shi Xing couldn't help withdrawing his eyes from the book in his hand, looking at Xue Fengxiang.

Xue Fengxiang took a deep breath and said, "Something happened in Jizhen."

After Shi Xing heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"what's up?"

Xue Fengxiang continued: "I don't know where Li Chengliang found the evidence that the commander-in-chief of Ji Town built courtiers and embezzled military pay. Now this case has been brought to the cabinet, and the elders of the cabinet want to round up the case. Junior I'm afraid that something bad will happen."

Not good?Is it not just bad?

That is simply not a great idea!

Although Shi Xing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, did not embezzle much money, he knew all the bad things in Ji Town, and he even acquiesced in some things.

And the reason why he acquiesced in Jizhen's corruption was mainly because he wanted to save some money for the Ministry of War, and let the general of Jizhen figure out a way to make money by himself to maintain the defense of Jizhen.

However, now that Li Chengliang, a vulgar old man, actually stabbed this matter, wouldn't he also be stabbed?
Shi Xing panicked all of a sudden.

Shi Xing hurriedly asked, "What's the cabinet's attitude?"

Xue Fengxiang replied: "The cabinet asked the crown prince for a round trial. At this time, the crown prince has not given the cabinet a reply. However, the younger generation heard that the cabinet meant to investigate thoroughly. Xiao Daheng, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, also strongly supported the case. Dali Temple He and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have an ambiguous attitude, and the other yamen have not expressed their stance for the time being."

After Shi Xing heard Xue Fengxiang's words, he couldn't help but start to panic. These words were really scary.However, Shi Xing's mentality still has a kind of self-confidence, he is still very stable, and he thinks there will still be a turning point.

The reason why Shi Xing is so stable is actually very simple, because he feels that he has merit.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a joint trial by the three courts or a round trial, Shi Xing is not cowardly.After all, he also considers himself a meritorious minister. Over the years, he has successively served as Minister of the Ministry of Households and Minister of the Ministry of War, saving the court a lot of money.

Emperor Wanli saw all these credits. Although there were some mistakes in this tribute event, Shi Xing firmly believed that Emperor Wanli would understand his hard work. He did it to save money for the court. of.

Shi Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry about Long. The old man will be fine."

Xue Fengxiang's word is right dragon.

What Shi Xing said was quite confident, and this unrestrained attitude undoubtedly gave Xue Fengxiang a great impact.

In Xue Fengxiang's eyes, Shi Xing's image became much taller.

That's when Shi Xing smiled confidently and Xue Fengxiang worshiped him.

Shi Xing's cell door was suddenly pushed open.

The jailer who entered the door had a very unfriendly attitude. After entering the cell, he immediately said loudly: "Come and remove all the tables and chairs here. This is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, not an inn."

As soon as the jailer's words fell, the jailer guarding the door rushed in immediately, pulling the table in front of Shi Xing without hesitation, and the books and papers on the table were scattered all over the place.

Facing such a sudden change, Xue Fengxiang turned around angrily and scolded: "What are you doing? Master Shi is the Minister of the court, how dare you treat him like this?"

The jailer didn't care about this little sesame official in a green robe at all, and he said in a loud voice: "I am ordered by the Ministry of Justice to supervise the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but if there is any conflict with the management of the prison, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has the right to deal with it. In addition, I would also like to remind you that the Minister of the Ministry of War of the imperial court works in the yamen of the Ministry of War, and the prisoners of the Ministry of Punishment are all key criminals!"

Xue Fengxiang was blown away by the warden's words. After so many years as a prison guard, no one dared to speak to him so loudly.

However, this little jailer who can't stand on the stage in front of him dares to speak so brazenly!

Xue Fengxiang said angrily: "Stop! I'm the officer of the military department, Xue Fengxiang! Don't act presumptuously in front of me!"

The jailer smiled, he looked at Xue Fengxiang as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

Although, Xue Fengxiang is in the case, but he is from the military department. What is the matter with the criminal department?
Besides, although this jailer is not a small official who can stand on the stage, but thanks to the blessing of Emperor Taizu, his position is also a hereditary and irreplaceable iron rice bowl. In the matter, it seems that no one has the right to supervise and impeach them.

Therefore, this gang of hobs would not take Xue Fengxiang's words to heart at all. Except for the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, they really did not scare them.

Although Xue Fengxiang was furious from being stimulated by the jailer in front of him, Shi Xing's face was already pale, and his heart was ashamed.

Xiao Daheng dared to treat him like this!

What does that mean?
That means that Shi Xing is about to collapse the building.

Otherwise, Daheng Xiao wouldn't let these low-level jailers humiliate him!

"Woohoo! Sad! The emperor was blinded by the villain."

Shi Xing let out a cry of despair, unable to stand any longer, and fell limply to the ground.

Xue Fengxiang was so frightened by Shi Xing's reaction that he suddenly became aware of something, quickly suppressed his anger, and left the prison without looking back.
