Shadow Guard Code

When Yueqing received the news, Jiang Dian was already in prison.

As the imperial censor, Jiang Dian is not only responsible for the documents, but also responsible for the management of the important albums and classics of the Lingyue Kingdom.I heard that there was a sudden flood in the study room last night, and the fire was unstoppable. When people went to fight the fire, thousands of classics in the palace were destroyed.

This made the monarch furious and punished Jiang Dian for his dereliction of duty. Jiang Dian was imprisoned and awaited execution.

In just one night, the people in the capital felt as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.Chu Qi, who is good at delivering such messages, naturally knows that this is done by someone with a heart.

A total of 28 people were burned to death, and the rest of the guards who escaped the fire were also in danger and committed suicide in fear of crime.

Yue Qing didn't know what offended this grandfather, who was always on his own, had been cautious for dozens of years, and who caused such a disaster.

Even ordinary people pay special attention to firewood during dry weather.What's more, it is the guardian's study room.The guards should naturally be more cautious.There has been no accident for decades, and if it happened suddenly, Yue Qing would not believe it if it was not framed by someone with intentions.

Yue Qing and Chu Qi's guesses coincided with each other, and they both had the same thoughts on this matter: Chu Qi planned to see Yue Qing's meaning, and Yue Qing planned to listen to Chu Qi's opinion.

To say how deep Yueqing's affection for this grandfather was, he didn't.But if you want to stay out of it, you can't do it yourself.Although the other party has not had any contact with him for 20 years, the friendship from the other party who knows that he will be killed and is willing to send news also shows that the other party has his grandson in his heart, and he is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface.

Back then Chu Qi told Yue Qing that the person who sent him the news was Jiang Dian.

Yue Qing had suspected it before, but no matter how hard he checked, the person who sent the news was Jiang Dian.There was no other news, the only thing Jiang Dian did for Yue Qing in the past 20 years was to send that message.Yue Qing didn't know what to do with this old man who was unpredictable and contradictory in his actions.

Yue Qing consulted with Chu Qi on how to save people.

Chu Qi felt that he should first look at the movement.Jiang Dian once met Yue Xin, although he didn't know what the two talked about, but he might have the intention to attach himself to the prince, if he really attached, the prince would naturally save him.

Jiang Dian once sent a letter to Prime Minister Zhuang, saying that someone sued Lin Shaofu for corruption to show his favor to him, and it seemed that he wanted to attach himself to the prime minister. If he attached himself to the prime minister, the prime minister would naturally save him.

What Chu Qi meant was to use this matter now to see which side Jiang Dian was on.You can also take the opportunity to see the relationship between the prime minister and the prince, and whether the two have formed an alliance.

If it is really impossible to think about it, neither side will save Jiang Dian, even if Jiang Dian is sentenced to death, then he can only find a way to save him.

Chu Qi's calculations coincided with Yue Mingcheng's thoughts, but in court, Yue Mingcheng still begged for mercy.

Strangely, Taiwei Qize's people also pleaded for Jiang Dian. The prime minister Zhuang Yu and the prince did not say anything, but Zhuang Yu and the people under the prince felt that Jiang Dian should be punished again for his crime of dereliction of duty.He even quoted scriptures to explain how the monarchs of the past dynasties dealt with those who failed in their duties.

Yue Mingcheng went to discuss with Yue Qing, but couldn't figure it out.It stands to reason that Jiang Dian had told Zhuang Yu that Qi Ze wanted to sue Lin Shaofu for corruption.No matter how you look at it, Qi Ze should be jealous of Jiang Dian. It's unexpected that he didn't fall into trouble, but today he begged for mercy. Could it be that Jiang Dian and Qi Ze are just at odds on the surface, but they have already secretly crossed the line?Although Yue Mingcheng also felt that "Crossing the Chen Cang secretly" was not a good word, but he couldn't think of a good word for a while.

Yue Qing pondered, "What is Qi Ze's reason for pleading?"

"Speaking of Jiang Yushi, for so many years, everything has been done in detail. There is no credit but hard work. Besides, I have never made a single mistake. I am afraid that this matter may be strange. Maybe it is because the servants are not careful. I hope the emperor will clearly observe it. And Ming Jun governs the country with benevolence and virtue. The current guard has already committed suicide in fear of crime, and if the investigation continues, it may cause panic among the people in the palace." Yue Mingcheng recalled carefully, trying to say every word, and imitating Qi Ze's tone as much as possible.

"Under what circumstances did you say that?" Yue Qing asked again.

Yue Mingcheng thought about it and said: "It is to say that according to the law, Jiang Yushi was sentenced to dereliction of duty and executed after autumn. I asked everyone if there was any objection. At this time, everyone didn't speak. After I finished speaking, no one said anything. The emperor asked again, but the crown prince and Zhuang Yu's subordinates said that it should be rehabilitated, so he said it."

Yue Qing understood it, and snorted coldly: "He didn't have such good intentions, he wanted to save his grandfather. He just wanted to wait and watch the show just like us. Unexpectedly, the crown prince and Zhuang Yu had already formed an alliance. Qi knew that things must not be the same It seems so simple, but Qi Ze didn't help others, he only wanted to fight against the opposing Zhuang Yu, and letting the enemy fail to achieve his goal is the best strategy. That's why he spoke for my grandfather."

Yue Mingcheng suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder...then I have to see Jiang Yushi now and ask what's going on. It's just...this old man definitely doesn't want to see me." Clearer.

Yueqing had a headache and said: "Then I'll go, since it's exile, it can't be changed now, so I will definitely meet you."

Yue Qing and Chu Qi went to prison.

It was already noon, and the weather was a bit hot, Chu Qi let Yue Qing take the carriage, Yue Qing shook his head, and rode the horse like the others, under the sun, and rushed to the prison where Jiang Dian was held.

Before Yue Qing left, he asked Ying Yi Ying Er to pay special attention to whether he had received any news by leaning on the railing.Many sources of news today are available on railings.

Although at the beginning, only educated people were required to enter by leaning on the fence, but as time went on, more and more high-ranking officials and dignitaries were able to enter.In the past, some officials and eunuchs were worried about not going to lean on the fence. Now that no one has leaked the news from the fence, the officials and eunuchs no longer worry about it.

Even because the people inside are all performers but not their bodies, many officials and eunuchs bring their own "girls" to serve them, but it's just a matter of paying more money, which is also a strange phenomenon.

Yue Qing also expected this kind of situation earlier, earning money by himself and collecting information at the same time was originally aimed at these people.It's just a good excuse to raise the threshold, collect information with confidence, and keep these people from being suspicious.Yue Qing naturally wouldn't push these officials and wealthy people outside.

"Why is it always executed after the fall?" Chu Qi asked puzzled.

Yue Qing didn't expect the other party to be curious about this, so he replied patiently: "In autumn, when the vegetation withers, people in the capital think that this is the time when the gods let the gods take back their lives. So let autumn follow the destiny and execute criminals. Spring is generally Don't ask about beheading."

"The gods of the Lingyue Kingdom are really different from the gods of the Beastman Continent. The Beast God protects us, but they won't execute the lives of the same tribe's orcs, so where will they be exiled?" Chu Qi continued to ask.
