high official

Chapter 497
"Your Majesty, Zhen Fushi?" The jailer was taken aback, his sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly kowtowed to salute.

"Excuse me, this official took office the day before, and I need to check the prison." Wang Xian said indifferently, over the years, he has become accustomed to being kneeled by others, just like when he kneeled down to the emperor, didn't he have no psychological barriers?
He doesn't know how much he has changed the world, but the world has really changed him anyway.

But the jailer didn't dare to call the shots, but knocked on a small window on the iron door. When the window opened, he handed Wang Xian's waist card in, and there was a thousand households reaching out to take it.

The prison bosses in ordinary prisons are all first-class slaves. Even the prison bosses in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment are just low-ranking miscellaneous officials. However, the prison boss in this prison is actually a thousand households, which shows the level of the imperial prison. high!
There are only two things in the world that can be used as evidence to enter Beizhen Fusi Prison. One is the imperial decree of the emperor, and the other is the badge of Beizhen Fusi Zhen Fushi. Even the deputy governor cannot enter these two doors alone.Not only Li Chun, theoretically speaking, even Ji Gang cannot enter here alone... Of course, it is only theoretical.

On Wang Xian's ivory waist card, there were complicated patterns, and Qianhu knew it was genuine at a glance, but he hesitated and asked, "Did Li Zhenfu come?" Obviously he had also received some orders.

"Open the door!" Wang Xian was holding back his anger, but he became angry when he heard the words: "I want to go to prison, do I still need the approval of my deputy?"

"No need..." That Qianhu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the door!"

Accompanied by his order, the heavy cell door Kerala opened, and the thousand households knelt on one knee a little nervously, handing the waist card to Wang Xian with both hands and saying: "My subordinate Wei Cheng, I pay my respects to the governor. "

Wang Xian snorted, took it with one hand, hung it on his belt, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want Li Chun to come with you?"

"Subordinate, subordinate..." Wei Cheng didn't know that Wang Xian almost killed Ji Gang with a single shot at the Jinyiwei Yamen, otherwise he would never have asked that question just now, so at this moment he still focused on covering up for Li Chun: " This subordinate just didn't know the adults before, so he asked this question out of prudence."

"Don't have another time," Wang Xian said with a pale face, "Open the door."

"Yes." Wei Cheng hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up and ordered: "Open the inner door!" When Ka Lala opened the door, he took a peek at the young governor, and saw Wang Xian's handsome face. On his face, the facial features were as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were even more unpredictable. Wei Qianhu couldn't help but secretly startled. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhenfu was so young, but his official authority was so important.In front of him, even a peerless murderer like himself, who has been immersed in the imperial prison all day, dare not breathe.

When the second iron door was opened, a foul smell wafted out from the dark cell, causing Wang Xian's chest to feel distressed.

"Your Excellency, wait for a while before going in." Wei Qianhu hurriedly said: "The smell of corpses in this prison is too heavy, and those who are not in good health will get sick after going in for a while."

Wang Xian frowned even more when he heard this, he knew that the emperor may have multiple intentions for letting him manage Beizhen Fusi.But the main intention is to let him succeed Zhu Liu and take care of the princelings in the prison... Although it is said that the emperor sent them to prison, why doesn't he mean to protect them?After all, they are all future ministers who are highly talented and able to stabilize the country, and the entire Ming Dynasty cannot pick out the second batch.It would definitely be a great loss to the Ming Dynasty if they died in the imperial prison for no reason!
Thinking of this, he didn't care much, and stepped into the damp and dark cell.The sun and the moon are unknown in the prison, only the lamps on the stone wall of the passage, faintly glowing yellow light, faintly illuminating the cells surrounded by thick iron fences.As soon as Wang Xian came in, he felt the wind blowing, the bone-piercing cold, the extremely unpleasant smell, and the rats running around. If he didn't have business to do, he would not want to stay here for a moment.

Wei Qianhu introduced from the side that all the prisoners in the prison are imperial prisoners, so they are all held in single rooms.He was a little proud and said: "Not everyone can come in and sit in the Imperial Prison. My lord, don't look at them now. They are not human or ghost. Before they came in, they were either vicious or high-ranking officials!" He said with a sneer: "But after entering, they all become prisoners like mice!"

Wang Xian nodded, and looked from cell to cell, and saw that the prisoners inside were all ragged, unkempt, scarred, and distracted. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they looked like ghosts.He carefully identified who was who, so he could only ask: "I have a friend who is locked up here. I don't know which cell it is in?"

"I don't know who is your friend?" Wei Qianhu asked bravely.But my heart was secretly beating, if I tortured Mr. Zhenfu's friend too much, what should I do?
"Jin Wen." Wang Xian reported a name. He had already known the list of imprisoned princelings by heart, but let's come one by one first, so as not to give others a handle... After all, the emperor asked him to protect the imprisoned ministers. , just out of his guess, Zhu Di will definitely not admit it.The reason is very simple, once the emperor accepts the account, it means that he still wants to pass the throne to the crown prince, otherwise, if the king of Han or even the king of Zhao inherits the throne, these courtiers will all die.To die sooner or later is to die, isn't it unnecessary this time?
If the emperor refuses to accept his account, Ji Gang can seize this point and call himself a princeling.Although he is indeed a princeling, he still can't stand being slandered.

.

"Jin Wen..." Hearing Wang Xian say this name, Wei Qianhu's eyes shrank, and it took a while before he said with difficulty: "In the dungeon."

"Dungeon?" Wang Xian frowned.

"It's the place where the treacherous and evil people are detained." Wei Qianhu whispered.

"..." Although Wang Xian wanted to ask, Jin Wen was just an official of the East Palace, and he had never done anything bad, so could he be considered a big treacherous villain?But it was useless to ask this question, he suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "Take me down to have a look."

"Yes." Wei Qianhu led Wang Xian and the others to the end of the cell, opened a mechanism, and a thick iron door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.Although Wang Xian was already almost losing his sense of smell, he was still so bored by the strong rancid smell of the dungeon.

Wei Qianhu seemed to be used to it, and led Wang Xian down the stairs with a lantern.If the prison cells on the ground are the hell on earth, then the prison cells underground are the [-]th floor of hell.

After adjusting his breathing and getting used to the atmosphere of the dungeon, Wang Xian looked into the cell, but the light was too dim, and he could only see a vague figure. Ask the adults to see clearly.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, even Wang Xian, a cruel and ruthless person who is used to seeing dead people, was shocked... I saw the man inside leaning against the wall, his face seemed to have been scorched, scorched and sore that he couldn't recognize it , Some parts have scabbed over, some parts still have pus and blood, both eyes have lost their eyeballs and become blood holes, and the arms and legs are also severely rotten, and it seems that there are still maggots crawling.

"Ouch..." Finally someone couldn't help but leaned over and vomited, but it was the murderous Young Master Xianyun.Wang Xian almost vomited, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, so he swallowed the vomit forcefully. After a while, he turned pale and said, "Who is this?!"

"This is not Jin Xueshi." Wei Qianhu hurriedly explained: "This man is called Wang Zhen, and he was originally a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy."

"He's from Mount Qingcheng..." Wang Xian had some impressions of this Wang Fan, because although his plagiarized poems were applauded, Hu Guang, a literary figure like Hu Guang, only named him the second poet in the world.At first Wang Xian thought that the first poet was Xie Jin, but later he found out that it was Wang Fan.Moreover, his cheap teacher, Wei Yuan, loved his calligraphy and paintings very much, and praised him as a famous Confucianist in the world, a master of calligraphy in the world, and the leader of the Ming poetry circle.

But later I heard that he was implicated in Xie Jin's case and sent to prison.Originally, it was just a far-fetched charge, but Wang Xian thought it was meaningless, but who knew that he had been tortured so much that his life was worse than death, and he was just waiting to die?
Wang Xian couldn't care less about being surprised, he hurriedly asked Wei Qianhu to take him to see Jin Wen, if Bachelor Jin was tortured like that, how would he explain to the emperor?Explain to the prince?Confess to your own conscience?After all, Scholar Jin treated him well, and it was thanks to him that he was selected as the candidate.

However, when he saw Jin Wen, he finally breathed a sigh of relief... Although Bachelor Jin looked tired and was dressed in rags, he still had the strength to shout, "Zhongde? You were also arrested by them." Are you done?" Obviously he saw Wang Xian at a glance.

"Don't yell!" Wei Qianhu didn't say a word, the jailer, who was used to yelling at this group of criminals, had already started yelling: "This is the new Governor of Beizhen Fusi!"

"Shut up." Wei Qianhu hurriedly kicked the jailer aside, and then said to the other guards: "Hurry up and open the cell door, move Bachelor Jin to the upper floor, and make room for the best room!"

"Restraint envoy?" Jin Wen ignored his situation, but looked at Wang Xian in surprise and said, "Zhongde, have you changed to a military position? Could it be that you failed the provincial examination?"

"I passed the provincial examination, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey." Wang Xian rubbed his nose, he knew that he had disappointed many people, including his teacher Wei Yuan, by switching to a military profession.They seem to really want him to be a Jinshi, a civil servant... Wang Xian is not a fool, he knows that they are planning for the future.Although I am a civil and military man now, the fart has no influence.But in time, once the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be destined to become the favorite of the two dynasties, so his status as Wang Xian is too important.

If he is a civil official, the civil official group will stabilize the military general group.

If he were a general, the civil servants would have to face an opponent...

　sorry sorry.I was really out of shape today, so I had to change it first, but I sorted out the plot again, sharpened the knife and cut the firewood by mistake, and it will return to normal tomorrow.
