always a fairy

Chapter 58 Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Cui Hao

When the dungeon door was opened, Bai Yujing panicked.

The jailer who opened the cell door put a shackle on his head.

Bai Yujing asked, "Doesn't the county government of Yuhang County give you a meal of decapitation?"

None of the jailers spoke, but secretly led Bai Yujing away.

Bai Yujing asked again: "If Shaoyang doesn't kill the starving ghosts, why don't they give him a meal?"

The jailer still didn't speak.

Bai Yujing didn't bother to talk. Although he didn't sleep that night, he was full of energy. Although he didn't eat, he didn't feel hungry in his belly. He just spoke to get some clues, but the people around him were all dumb. How to get them?

Several people hurriedly took Bai Yujing out of the county office, walked out all the way, and went straight to the river.

There is a big boat parked by the river. From the outside, the boat is very imposing, which is enough to show that the identity of the owner is extraordinary. Standing at the mouth of the boat are a man and a woman. The man is wearing general armor, just like a soldier. The generals in the mid-level office are not very old, so their official ranks should not be high.

When the woman beside him saw Bai Yujing and the jailer coming, she immediately waved her hand and led her men off the boat.

The jailers saluted one after another, and one of them said to the woman, "My lord, bring the prisoner Bai Yujing here."

After the woman ordered her subordinates to go through the handover procedures, she dragged Bai Yujing onto the boat.

Bai Yujing tilted his head and looked at the woman.

Her appearance is very good-looking, and there is a bit of murderous look between her brows, and all useful information can be retrieved in those peach eyes.

Her keenness is different from Yin Hong's ability, which can be seen just by doing things.

On board the boat, the woman said slowly: "It's solved."

Several subordinates took off the shackles and shackles on Bai Yujing's body.

The woman yawned, her face full of slack, she pointed to the cabin and said, "Go in."

Bai Yujing didn't go in, but looked at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman thought for a moment, "Go in and ask. The people inside will tell you."

Bai Yujing could only go in.

The cabin of this three-story ship is downwards. Bai Yujing walked down the steps and saw an old man.

The old man was wearing coarse linen clothes, and was sitting in the cabin drinking tea, holding a tea pestle in his hand, and was grinding the tea leaves that had just been put into the embryo. When he saw Bai Yujing coming in, he raised his eyes slightly, walked over with a smile, grabbed He took Bai Yujing's hand, pulled him to the front of his seat, and said with a smile, "Please sit down."

The old man looked very kind, and Bai Yujing immediately liked him with his approachable appearance.

He hasn't seen such a person for a long time.

The old man asked, "Would you rather drink green tea or black tea?"

Bai Yujing pointed to the tea germ, "Didn't seniors start brewing?"

The old man smiled, "If you like drinking black tea, we can still change it."

Bai Yujing scratched his head and said, "I don't have any hobbies. I have never drunk black tea or green tea."

The old man nodded and said: "I can see that the tea germ is white tea."

Bai Yujing chuckled, "Old man, who are you? You managed to get me out of the prison of the county government."

The old man put the ground tea into the teapot, poured it with boiling water, and said, "You still don't know who I am?"

Bai Yujing said: "There are so many people who can get me out of the dungeon, how can I guess the identity of the senior?"

"That's true." The old man thought for a while, "I'm Cui Hao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

From the second product!
Bai Yujing was about to jump up, and his heart twitched suddenly. He didn't know whether to salute first or kneel first, but when he looked back, I was an embroiderer, and I definitely couldn't kneel, so he saluted immediately: "Master Shangshu .”

Cui Hao chuckled, "Yo yo, don't do this, I can't stand it."

Bai Yujing was taken aback, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Cui Hao said in a long voice: "Under the four great gentry families, if you sort by official position, it is indeed not your turn, but if you sort by the royal relatives, the status of the Chu family is much higher. After all, there is now a harem. This talented person belongs to your Chu family. You are from the Chu family, so you can be regarded as my family."

Bai Yujing thought to himself: "I thought this old Shangshu saved me because of my identity, but who would have thought it was because of Chu Xiuran? The Chu family is indeed powerful enough." So he said: "My lord means... "

Cui Hao said: "Three generations of the Chu family were passed down alone. The highest official of the previous generation worshiped You Pushe. Although he has resigned now, there are still some old friends in the court. I am one of them. Master Chu helped me a lot back then. Now I am How could it be possible to watch his grandson die with his own eyes? I have also heard about the turmoil in Yuhang County in the past few days. Isn’t it just that a temple burned some incense and brewed some wine? Why bother to risk your own life? You and Chu Xiuran is a friend and also his retainer, go and persuade him to come back."

Bai Yujing understood.

But he was even angrier.

This chapter of the Minister of Criminal Justice said that every sentence is for the benefit of the officialdom. It must be beneficial for him to save Chu Xiuran this time, but it is also dangerous, so Bai Yujing was asked to help. Just help.

What made Bai Yujing most angry was that he never mentioned those dead people.

It's easy for others to say, but Bai Yujing is a commoner, a living example of a commoner's origin, he is not a nobleman, let alone an official father, if he is not an embroiderer today, what if he is the family of these dead commoners?

No one can answer this question.

This is the same as Bai Yujing's thoughts. From the beginning to the end, no one cared about those dead people.

What they care about is profit.

Bai Yujing said: "So that's the case, I'll thank Lord Shangshu on behalf of my family first."

Cui Hao waved his hand, "No need, two hours have passed since Chu Xiuran entered Lingyin Temple, please hurry up."

He raised the teacup in his hand and handed it to Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it aside as a way to give the Minister of Punishment enough face, and said, "Then I'll go right away."

Cui Hao thought for a moment and said: "Okay, after the matter is over, if your Excellency wants to find a job in the Ministry of Punishment, just come to me."

Bai Yujing thanked Li and walked out of the cabin, her heart sank.

The senior officials from the second grade were alarmed, and Bai Yujing had a very bad premonition. Even if Dali Temple put pressure on him before, no one jumped out to say a word for Chu Xiuran, but now when he entered Lingyin Temple, someone stood up. .

Could it be that something happened to this kid in Lingyin Temple?
Thinking of this, Bai Yujing's pace gradually quickened, and he went straight to Lingyin Temple.

Watching Bai Yujing go away, the woman outside the door returned to the cabin, sat beside Cui Hao, leaned on her head with one hand and asked, "Father, with his appearance, can he do things well?"

Cui Hao smiled, "General Tao!"

The tall and tall man walked into the cabin, clasped his hands together and said, "My lord."

Cui Hao said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, General, but we still have to rescue our Young Master Chu. This time, the debt I owed to Old Chu can be regarded as repaid, so let's avoid this muddy water."

General Tao said, "Yes."

Cui Hao said: "Oh, that's right, after saving Chu Xiuran, I should have killed that kid just now, so as not to leak the news. If the princess finds out, I'm afraid it will be bad for me."

General Tao said: "This subordinate understands."
