Farewell to Gao Yang, Zhou Jinyan left the palace, and saw a carriage parked in the middle of the square from afar.

Under the carriage, at this time, there were two beautiful women standing there.

"Husband."

Li Mengjiang ran up and said nervously, "Have the conditions been met?"

Zhou Jinyan took his hand, walked up to Yan Ruyu, said with drooping face, "It's too big, Your Majesty won't reward me."

The two women were stunned, Li Mengjiang held his palm tightly, and comforted him: "It's okay, Qujiang Pond doesn't belong to anyone now anyway, and it's outside our back garden, if you want to see it, you can go and see it. "

Yan Ruyu also comforted him and said: "Qujiangchi will only reward meritorious ministers. It is a little too reckless for you to ask for it like this. If you don't give it, you don't give it. Don't be too sad."

Zhou Jinyan put on a sullen face, "But I want something else."

"What?" the two women asked together.

"A decree!"

Zhou Jinyan took out the imperial decree from his cuff, and said with a smile, "Look, what is this?"

"What do you want the edict for?" Yan Ruyu looked at him suspiciously.

Li Mengjiang was also puzzled.

"Husband, let me take a look at the imperial decree."

Zhou Jinyan handed her the imperial decree, got into the carriage, and said, "Go back, after lunch, I have something to do."

Li Mengjiang and Yan Ruyu followed together.

Sitting on the carriage, Zhou Jinyan asked, "Where is Commander Xiahou?"

"gone back."

Li Mengjiang sat down next to Zhou Jinyan, gently opened the imperial decree, and muttered in his mouth: "The imperial decree will not be given in vain, is it a reward?"

"You don't really want money, do you?" Yan Ruyu's eyes were full of inquiries.

"You'll know if you look at it."

Zhou Jinyan stared at Li Mengjiang who was slowly opening the edict, the smile in his eyes couldn't stop.

Yan Ruyu was sitting across from the two of them, watching Li Mengjiang's mouth suddenly open, with a wonderful expression on his face, she couldn't help but said: "My dear sister, what is written in the edict?"

Li Mengjiang threw the imperial decree to Yan Ruyu, threw himself into Zhou Jinyan's arms, and said coquettishly: "My husband, you are bad, you will lie to us."

Zhou Jinyan couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

Yan Ruyu picked up the imperial decree, looked at it twice, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty is very generous this time, and actually rewarded you with Qujiang Pond."

Zhou Jinyan pressed the little woman who was fluttering in his arms, and said, "I think it has something to do with the fact that he couldn't give me what I asked for the first time."

Li Mengjiang blushed, gasped and asked, "What did my husband want for the first time?"

"I begged His Majesty to let go of those condemned prisoners. As a result, His Majesty couldn't make the decision, and then asked for Qu Jiangchi."

"Release the condemned prisoner?"

The two women looked at each other, both a little puzzled.

Zhou Jinyan sighed: "This time, the most worrying thing is these death row prisoners. Others should come and have to come, otherwise the crime will be more serious. But they are different."

The two women fell silent.

After a long time, Yan Ruyu asked: "Then are they still sentenced to death?"

"Not sure," Zhou Jinyan said, "This matter has to be discussed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Li Mengjiang said softly: "It would be great if their capital crimes could be pardoned. These people are really the real version of promises."

Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that I can't do anything for the time being." Zhou Jinyan sighed. He wanted to save people, but he wanted to save the shadow even more.

If the death penalty is real, he dare not imagine the consequences.

When I got home, I had a simple meal.

Chapter 325 The Fate of the Shadow

Li Mengjiang and Yan Ruyu went to Qujiang Pond. From now on, it will be the back garden of the Zhou Mansion. Li Mengjiang looked very excited.

Zhou Jinyan found Xiahou Zixuan.

"Brother Zhou, the body is still in the carriage, what should we do?"

Xiahou Zixuan took Zhou Jinyan into a carriage and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Jinyan opened the carriage, took a look, and found that the person died within a day.Now it is winter again, and there is no smell.

"Deal with it."

Zhou Jinyan reminded him: "Handle it cleanly, and don't let people find out."

"I'm good at this." Xia Hou Zixuan patted his majestic chest, "I promise that no one will find out."

After a pause, he continued: "Is the murderer still arrested?"

"Catch it." Zhou Jinyan said coldly: "Even if you can't take revenge, you have to see who is behind it."

Xiahou Zixuan nodded, greeted several guards, and left Zhou Mansion together in a carriage.

"Yueji is going to prepare the carriage, and you and I will go to Chang'an Prison to have a look."

Xingji accompanied Li Mengjiang and others to Qujiang Pond.

"See if it's a shadow," Zhou Jinyan thought to himself, "I'll go to Princess Guantao tomorrow and ask what's going on."

Yue Ji prepared the carriage, and Zhou Jinyan went all the way to the prison he went to last time without stopping.

When he came to the gate of the prison, he saw a familiar person as soon as he got off the carriage.

Li Tai!

Li Tai also saw him, he was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

"I can win this time, but it's all because of them."

Zhou Jinyan was very thick-skinned, and pointed to the inside, "Because of emotion and reason, I should take a look. King Wei, what is this?"

"Oh, I have something to do too. An acquaintance is here, come and have a look."

The two chatted as they walked, and when they reached the prison gate, Li Tai said, "My acquaintance works here, I'll go and see him first, and I'll see you, Brother Zhou."

"See you, King Wei."

Zhou Jinyan watched him leave without thinking too much, and went straight in.

The jailer inside, seeing Zhou Jinyan approaching, hurriedly nodded and bowed to greet him.

Seeing Yue Ji, who was as beautiful as a fairy and with a curvaceous figure behind him, he only glanced at him and didn't dare to look more.

I secretly sighed in my heart, after all, it is a prince or aristocrat, and the women in the family are different, like a goddess.

"All the prisoners here are now on death row?"

Zhou Jinyan asked casually.

"Yes, we have a total of 32 people imprisoned here." The jailer smiled and said, "Thanks to Prince Consort Zhou, we have saved a lot of trouble now. After these death row prisoners are executed, if there is no one in Chang'an Prison, it will be a big problem." save trouble."

Zhou Jinyan's mouth twitched slightly.

He walked all the way, and many prisoners on death row saw him, but they all sat inside, motionless.

Zhou Jinyan sighed, looked all the way, and when he came to the door of a cell, he turned around and said, "Go, let's see for ourselves."

"Here." The jailer said with a smile on his face, "If there is something to do, please tell me directly."

Staring at the jailer's back, Zhou Jinyan lowered his voice, "Go and watch, try not to let anyone in, if you can't stop it, come and tell me."

Yue Ji nodded slightly, and walked outside.

"Ishihara."

Zhou Jinyan stared at the people inside for a while, then called softly.

The prison was very large, and there was only one person. Although he was in the dark, he still saw it, and it was this person.

The person inside glanced at him and turned his head away.

Zhou Jinyan knocked on the lock, "I know you are not Shi Yuan, and I know who you are."

Still no answer.

Zhou Jinyan sighed, and said softly: "You are the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, why did you replace me?"

"You go, this is my voluntary." Shadow finally spoke.

Zhou Jinyan looked a little excited, "The big deal is that I don't want that condition, I just hand over the body, who asked you to replace me here?"

"There are many things that you don't understand, and you won't understand, and you don't need to understand." Shadow's voice was flat, hoarse as before, "You don't need to feel guilty, let alone be grateful, I'm just doing one thing."

"This is a death row prisoner!"

Zhou Jinyan knocked heavily on the wooden fence, "If His Majesty will not pardon your capital crimes, you will be executed!"

"It's just a cheap life, it should have died long ago."

"What bastard?"

Zhou Jinyan said in a daze, "You are the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, why did you lose your life?"

"Let's go." Shadow obviously didn't intend to say more.

Zhou Jinyan hated her attitude, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Then tell me, do you know Princess Guantao?"

"Princess Guantao is one of the four beauties in Chang'an, who doesn't know her?"

"You know what I mean," Zhou Jinyan said coldly, "Why do I think she sent you to this prison?"

Shadow smiled, with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Why should my shadow obey her orders? Concubine Zhou, don't think too much."

"Then why do you have to come to take the blame?"

"You think I want to come?" Shadow said indifferently: "Being bullied by others, you have to admit all the guilt. This is the fate of Shadow."

"What the hell,"

Zhou Jinyan said angrily: "I only know that you are the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, and your identity will never come here to die."

"But I came here to die, and I was unwilling to send it, but I had to do it."

Shadow suddenly smiled, "Why, you still plan to take responsibility for having a one-night affair with a stinky woman?"

"Negative money, less yin and yang!"

Zhou Jinyan yelled, "Ugly woman, it's not that I touched you, so I don't bother with your shit. Just remember, I will definitely save you this time, no matter whether you came in because of me, after I rescue you, I will save you." , we owe each other nothing."

"Are you feeling guilty?" Shadow's voice was faint.

"I'm ashamed of you."

Zhou Jinyan cursed and cursed as he walked.

Hearing the sound fade away, the shadow moved a position, staring blankly at the dry thatch in front of him.

Seeing Zhou Jinyan walking out with a gloomy face, Yue Ji couldn't help saying, "Lang Jun, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's go to Cui's house."

"The Cui family?" Yue Ji looked at the sky, "Then we can't go back later."

Zhou Jinyan slapped his head, feeling a little irritable because he doesn't live in the Zhou Mansion now, "Forget it, I'll go tomorrow and go home first."

Yue Ji didn't dare to say more, and followed Zhou Jinyan to the layman.

As soon as the two left, Li Tai came out, and Li Mubai also followed.

"I'm sure now."
