I have a book to play

There is no difference between the cell of the Wuyin county government and the other places.Perhaps it was because there was Ren Cuiyuan serving as the governor, the cell was full and there were not many empty spaces left.

Logically, this place should be eerie, daunting, and chills down the spine, but because there are too many prisoners, it is now very popular, and there is no hostility at all.

Probably because they were afraid that he would come up with some ideas, the people in the governor's mansion told the jailers early to find an empty, corner cell for Sun Peng to use.

Sun Peng pondered for a long time in front of the cell, until the jailer closed and locked the door, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

An earthen wall with iron cage railings on the umbrella surface is clearly intended to discourage detainees from escaping from the prison.

Moreover, in the prison cell, there is only a wooden couch against the wall, with a thin layer of quilt, which can neither freeze to death nor warm you up at night.

Looking at the nearest few cells, there are more than ten people in one room. After lying down crowded, you can stick to me and I stick to you, and you can't turn around.

"Hey, you young man looks like you have a good family background, why are you locked in?"

A few peasant-looking men shouted across the cell.

Sun Peng turned his head and smiled: "I said I was the new supervisory censor, but the governor didn't believe me, so he imprisoned me."

Those few peasants looked at me and I looked at you, and they all laughed at the same time: "We don't look alike. You little man, I'm afraid you haven't reached your crown yet, and your hair hasn't even grown yet." Baby, what are you pretending to be a supervisory censor!"

Sun Peng smiled: "Why did the elder brothers fall to this point?"

The expression of the older farmer changed, and he snorted coldly: "Our brothers are all farmers in Yi'an County. This year, there was a catastrophe in Changzhou. There is a river running across our Yi'an. There is no severe drought, but from Changzhou The plague of locusts flying from other places has affected our fields, and many people, old and young, starved to death because they could not eat rice. I heard that there is no locust plague in Wuyin County, so I came here to learn Buddhist scriptures, and I asked the governor to release food to save lives."

The farmer on the side looked contemptuous and sat down, his pants were cut short, revealing his swarthy legs. "Our Lord Inspector is a very busy person. Not only does he refuse to see us, he also forbids us to ask other adults for help. No, he locked us up for more than half a month, and he might be too busy to forget about us. How many brothers are there?"

He bit the word "busy" very hard, and his thick Yi'an accent couldn't cover up his contempt.

Sun Peng nodded, flicked his hem, and then sat down, facing each other through the iron cage of the prison cell: "I wonder if the elder brothers can tell me about the situation in Yi'an in detail."

He asked seriously, and his expression was sincere.Several peasants looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and asked solemnly: "Xiao Langjun is really the supervisory censor?"

Sun Peng nodded.

The peasants immediately clenched their fists.They haven't read many books, but they have also heard from storytellers on the street that although the position of the supervisory censor is not high, he can manage the position of a high official. If the supervisory censor is a good official, as long as he appears, corrupt officials will come There is nowhere to hide.

Thinking of this, the expressions of the few people changed drastically, and they told Sun Peng about the situation in Yi'an County one by one.

Sun Peng didn't care that he was in prison, so he stretched out his hand and waved away a piece of straw in front of him, revealing the uneven muddy ground underneath, then took off the hairpin on his head, using the hairpin as a pen, and waved it on the ground.

Every word those peasants said was clearly listed on the ground by him.And when a patrolling jailer passed by, the opposite party kept silent, and he grabbed the straw and spread it on the ground to cover up the information that had not yet been recorded in his mind.

"Xiao Langjun." After finishing what should be said, the peasants suddenly asked something else. But the nobleman in the palace, is Xiao Langjun more powerful than him?"

After several conversations, the peasants naturally knew that Sun Peng was not imprisoned because he was suspected of pretending to be a supervisory censor. It was clearly for Jinling, who was also suffering from the same disaster, and even had no food or water, and could only wait to die. The people of the county have fallen into the current situation.Just thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Mr. Xiao Lang is not afraid that the dog officer will come to his senses. After thinking about it, he will act first and kill you?"

Sun Peng carefully memorized the last line of writing on the ground, stretched out his hand with a straw and wiped it off with great effort, and only looked up when he was done.

Sun Peng said: "My father is a third-rank Beijing official."

The peasant opened his eyes wide: "Sanpin? Better than the nobleman behind the dog official?"

Sun Peng shook his head: "Slightly inferior."

"Then won't you be at the mercy of others?"

"Ren Cuiyuan can't touch me." Sun Peng said with a smile, "Even if he doesn't know my origin, he still has to weigh it because of my status as the supervisor of the censor. I came to Jinling, not alone. If I die in Wuyin, It won't take half an hour for someone to find out, and even the nobles in the palace may not be able to keep him in the future."

Before coming to Wuyin, Sun Peng only wanted to use the old rice sold by Jinling to try Ren Cuiyuan.Unexpectedly, this person is arrogant, extravagant and dissipated, and at such a time, he still throws a big banquet just to celebrate his own concubine.

Sun Peng knew that he was impulsively stimulated by Ren Cuiyuan's misdeeds, but before he left Jinling, he had already made arrangements, and he was not worried about what would go wrong in the future, let alone Ren Cuiyuan's murder.

It's just that if he couldn't leave Wuyin for a day, the people in Jinling would be in dire straits.One more moment could kill one more person.

*****

Sun Peng was still in prison, while Ren Cuiyuan left early, Ruan Xiangyu was in his arms, and was promiscuous in the room.

Unexpectedly, when the door was closed, the steward suddenly shouted in panic: "My lord! My lord! It's not good! It's not good!"

The steward is not young anymore, with this shout, the lingering sorrow in the room disappeared immediately.Ren Cuiyuan looked at the brother who was weakened under him, his face was as dark as thick ink, put on his coat, and shouted angrily: "No, what's wrong! Your lord is being yelled at badly by you!"

"Oh, my lord, when is this, don't hug the new aunt, the front... a big man is here!"

Rubbing Xinna's aunt angrily, Ren Cuiyuan walked out of the house with a round belly, and when she heard the woman's coquettish voice behind her, she was about to turn around and tease her with joy.

"It's the First Prince! It's the First Prince!"

As soon as the steward finished speaking, he heard a "dingling bang bang" sound in the room.Then the door of the room was opened with a "crash", and Ren Cuiyuan rushed out in a mess, putting on clothes while running.

"Is it really the First Prince? Why did the First Prince come to Changzhou?" He ran a few steps, then turned around and asked, "Could it be fake like that Supervisory Censor?"

"My lord, the eldest prince is a monk, and the person who came was a monk with a bald head, and he was wearing a certificate of proof. On the top, it clearly stated the Dharma name Changhe, the common name Xie Chen, and there was Shangshu Shengxia Shrine at the bottom." The approval document and official seal of the ministry, how can it be fake!"

Ren Cuiyuan didn't dare to hesitate at this time, while urging the steward to arrange tea, he rushed forward.

But since he entered the Wang family and became a disciple of Shang Shuling, he has never run to meet people like this. The extravagant life has already fed him into a fat man, and he ran a few steps, sweating profusely , I just took off my clothes and wrung out a handful of stinky sweat.

When he got to the front, Ren Cuiyuan really saw a man who looked like a monk standing in the main hall.

Ren Cuiyuan had never met the eldest prince, but during the palace examination that year, he was lucky enough to meet the emperor and meet Emperor Xihe from a distance.

However, the impression of that glance was so deep that when the man in front of him turned around, he didn't even need to look at any documents to verify his body.

"Great...Your Majesty..."

"Does Governor Ren recognize Gu?"

Xie Chen was still wearing the monk's robe, but when he opened his mouth, he changed from "poor monk" to "lonely".Now, standing in front of Ren Cuiyuan was not Chang He, a monk from Jingming Temple, but the legitimate eldest son of Da Chu's current emperor, His Majesty.

"His Royal Highness looks like a dragon and a phoenix. Although I have never seen His Highness before, I was fortunate enough to see the dragon's face from a distance. His Highness and His Majesty look very similar, so I... I recognized His Highness's identity at a glance."

Xie Chen nodded, seeming to agree with Ren Cuiyuan's explanation.

However, before Ren Cuiyuan could heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly said: "Does Ren Cuishi know where Gu came from?"

Ren Cuiyuan knelt on the ground, it had been a long time since Xie Chen woke him up, he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, he was momentarily dazed when he heard the words, and couldn't answer for a moment.

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Many places in Changzhou have been plagued by drought and locusts, resulting in famine, and the people are in dire straits. As the governor of Changzhou, do you know?"

Ren Cuiyuan's complexion turned pale and he was dripping with cold sweat. The servants who were about to enter the hall for tea were so frightened that they fell to their knees and shivered on the ground.The good fragrant tea was spilled all over the floor, but no one paid any attention to it.

Ren Cuiyuan didn't speak, and Xie Chen didn't ask any more questions, but his expression was still angry, cold, as scary as Wei Tuo in the temple.

"Inspector Ren, Gu came to you today not only because of the disaster in Changzhou, but also because of one person."

Ren Cuiyuan was trembling, and when Xie Chen said to find someone, he immediately agreed: "Who is Your Highness looking for? Tell me, tell me! I... I will do my best to help Your Highness find this person!"

He was full of greed, thinking that the woman Xie Chen was looking for might be a woman, but he never thought that Xie Chen had been a monk for many years, even if he left the temple to find a woman, he would never travel thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River to find her.

Xie Chen gave him a disgusted look: "I heard that the person I'm looking for is being locked up by you in the Wuyin county government."

"Huh?" Ren Cuiyuan was stunned.

"This person's surname is Sun and his name is Peng. He is the new supervisory censor of Jiangnan Dongdao. As the governor, he imprisoned the imperial court official without reason. Who gave you such courage!"

When he heard that what Xie Chen was looking for was the young man he had thrown into the prison of the county government earlier, Ren Cuiyuan groaned in his heart, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xie Chen didn't say a word, just looked at him with a dark face.

Ren Cuiyuan didn't dare to delay any longer, and opened his mouth to call out to take charge.The steward was still standing when he entered the room, it was obvious that the master was still kneeling on the ground talking, so he immediately knelt down and moved to the front.

"Big...adult..."

"Go! Go to the prison of the county government and invite Mr. Yushi... Please come out!"

"what?"

The front foot has just been locked in, and it hasn't been a day's work, so it's released?

The steward was still a little confused, but Ren Cuiyuan was so angry that he grabbed a shoe and threw it on the steward's head.

"Please hurry up!"

The steward scrambled and ran out of the main hall, Ren Cuiyuan wiped off his sweat, his knees hurt badly, but he didn't dare to call Xie Chen for getting him up.

Xie Chen sat down on the chair, with a slight sarcasm in his eyes, he looked at the sky outside the hall without saying a word.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when Ren Cuiyuan almost thought he was going to kneel to death, there were clear footsteps outside the hall.He was overjoyed and was about to look up when he saw Xie Chen who had been sitting up suddenly stand up.

Ren Cuiyuan hurriedly leaned down, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Chen walking past him.He secretly turned his head to see, the young man who disturbed the situation came forward with a smile and was about to say something, when his wrist was suddenly held by the eldest prince, and he left from the front of the hall without looking back, as if he didn't notice the boy who was still kneeling on the ground at all. he.

Ren Cuiyuan finally sat up until it was confirmed that the person had gone far away.

"Go, go to the study!" Ren Cuiyuan knelt so that his knees hurt, his legs seemed to be useless, and he didn't even have the strength to get up. "Go to the study to find the secret letter sent by the capital!"

First, the new supervisory censor, and then the former crown prince who has been a monk for many years. The Wang family must have sent a letter a long time ago, and it must be the one he threw aside in a hurry!

If he had known that there would be such two killing gods coming out, he should have cried to Emperor Xihe, begging for some food and silver for disaster relief, and greedy for more at that time, which is far better than concealing the disaster and being caught by others.

Ren Cuiyuan regretted it at the beginning, but he could only find a way to stop such a big mistake now.
