The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1322 Ruolu Prison

Fang Yun was on his way to success, and the Chen family stood on the flying leaf airship and slowly landed outside the north gate of the capital.

They talked and laughed during the flight, but when they arrived outside the city gate, they restrained their smiles and looked forward together.

Outside the north gate, there was not only the Chen family's carriage, but also more than 200 Beijing yamen runners standing at the door. Yin Lan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, had a cold face and walked up quickly. He bowed to Fang Yun and others and said, "Fang Xusheng, I'm sorry. The Ministry of Justice just received news that someone saw you kill the human race Jinshi Ji Zhibai with their own eyes. According to the "Dajing Law", please come with us to the Ministry of Justice!"

Yin Lan was a Hanlin of Jingguo, and also a party member of Liushan, and he was quite famous for his literary talent.

At the door, there were soldiers guarding the gate and pedestrians coming and going. These people looked at Fang Yun in a daze. Many of them tied white cloth belts around their waists to mourn for Fang Yun. Until now, they still couldn't figure out how Fang Yun survived.

A scene that surprised everyone happened. Fang Yun actually walked past Yin Lan as if no one was around, and said as he walked: "Want to arrest me? Let Liu Shan come in person."

Yin Lan, who was completely ignored, flashed a trace of shame and anger on his face. He didn't expect Fang Yun to look down on him so much.

Yin Lan gritted his teeth and followed Fang Yun's footsteps, saying: "Your Highness Prince Ji, the law does not favor the rich, and the rope does not bend. Even if you are the Prince Ji, if you kill people in Jingguo, I will still bring you to justice!"

"I killed his most beloved student, and he didn't dare to come and arrest me in person? He only knows how to be sneaky and cunning all day long. How can I feel at ease to hand over Jingguo to such a person? When I return from the Holy Academy, I will definitely clear up the court!" Fang Yun answered irrelevantly and walked towards the Chen family's carriage.

"Come on, arrest Prince Ji!" Yin Lan shouted.

Two hundred yamen runners looked at Fang Yun, their expressions tangled, and no one dared to take a step.

"How dare you! You don't even listen to me? Captain Zhao, it's your duty, why don't you come and arrest people?" Yin Lan glared at a burly middle-aged man in the uniform of a ninth-rank official.

Captain Zhao was still in a daze, but he came to his senses after a moment, and looked at Yin Lan aggrievedly and said, "Sir Yin, before you came, didn't you say you were here to catch Fang Xusheng alive? Besides, we can't control the prince or Xusheng. Sir, please ask someone else."

"How dare you! The capital is under the feet of the emperor, there is no distinction between high and low, as long as the guilty person is arrested by the government offices in the capital! Don't you want to be the captain?" Yin Lan looked at Captain Zhao viciously.

Captain Zhao glanced at Fang Yun who was getting on the carriage, and then looked at the minister Yin Lan, gritted his teeth, and said, "No!" After saying that, Captain Zhao took off his official uniform in public, threw the Wenbao waist badge on his clothes, and turned to go into the city.

More than a dozen yamen runners also took off their black servant uniforms and followed Captain Zhao away.

"Just wait for me!" Yin Lan was almost angry. As a Hanlin and a minister of a country, he had never been bullied by a mere police officer.

A passerby not far away whispered: "Fang Xusheng has gone far away, why are you yelling?"

Yin Lan turned his head and saw that everyone was dispersing and hurried towards the city, talking excitedly while jogging.

"Is that really Fang Xusheng?"

"No doubt, even the minister of the Ministry of Justice said he is, so he must be."

"But Fang Xusheng is not dead?"

"Xusheng is not an ordinary person, he can be resurrected after death!"

"That's right! I have to tell my mother this news. My mother always wipes tears when she talks about Fang Xusheng. Now Fang Xusheng is alive, she must be happy!"

Everyone walked quickly and laughed happily.

The Chen family's carriage did not go to Chen Sheng's family, but stopped outside the gate of "Ruolu Prison".

The prisons in the capital are divided into four levels. The best one is Ruolu Prison, which holds high-ranking officials or scholars with high literary status.

The second level is Shanglin Prison, which holds minor officials or scholars.

The third level is Jing Prison, which holds ordinary people.

The fourth level is Huqiu Prison, which is specially used to hold some extremely vicious criminals.

Fang Yun was imprisoned last year and lived in Huqiu Prison, which has the worst environment. However, because Fang Yun had lived there before, and it was found that there were people who were wronged there, Huqiu Prison has now been closed and no prisoners are allowed to live in such a bad prison.

Fang Yun had appeared on the light curtain above the Jingguo Academy many times. The jailer at the door of Ruolu Prison recognized him at a glance, and then stared at Fang Yun blankly, surprised and happy, and at the same time with suspicion.

These jailers only doubted Fang Yun's life and death, but did not doubt the liar, because the people in the capital recognized the mark of the Chen Sheng family on those carriages, and no liar was stupid enough to come to Ruolu Prison to cheat under the banner of the Semi-Saint family.

"You are..."

"It's me." Fang Yun nodded gently.

"You...Aren't you a saint?" The leading jailer spoke haltingly, and then glanced at the people behind Fang Yun, all wearing civil service uniforms, the lowest being a Jinshi, and the highest being a university scholar.

"That's a misunderstanding." Fang Yun walked to the door and stopped.

The jailer asked cautiously: "Excuse me, Fang Xusheng, what are you doing in Ruolu Prison?"

"Take the people away." Fang Yun looked calm.

The jailer showed an expression of "as expected", and then smiled bitterly: "Lord Xusheng, those people assassinated Lord Zuo Xiang after all, and they can't be taken away."

"What's wrong with assassinating Liu Shan? Shouldn't Liu Shan die?" Fang Yun asked back.

The jailers were dumbfounded, and the Chen family behind Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Only Fang Yun could say such a thing in the world, and only he dared to.

Chen Jing looked at Fang Yun with envy, thinking to himself, this is the difference between having confidence and not having confidence. Chen Sheng is about to fall, and the Chen family is afraid of being suppressed by a more powerful family afterwards. Recently, they have become more low-key. Even if they have conflicts with Zuo Xiang’s party, they generally don’t delve too deeply. Only when it comes to Fang Yun and other few things, the Chen family will be tougher.

"This..." The jailer was speechless and had no answer. A strange expression appeared on his face, as if to say that even if Fang Xusheng said something reasonable, he couldn’t admit it.

Fang Yun said: "I, the saint, will enter Ruolu Prison as a virtual saint, can I?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The jailers hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, how dare they stop them. At this time, instead of failing to stop them and offending Fang Yun, and then offending Zuo Xiang, it is better to let them go and only offend Zuo Xiang.

Fang Yun led the Chen family into Ruolu Prison.

The front yard of Ruolu Prison is different from ordinary prisons. There are rockery and flowing water on both sides of the road, flower beds and pavilions, just like a beautiful garden.

Ruolu Prison was divided into many courtyards, each with 20 houses of different sizes. Each prisoner lived in a separate room, and they could move around in the courtyard at any time. If they wanted to leave the courtyard, they needed the permission of the warden.

"Take me to where the righteous men were imprisoned." Fang Yun said.

"I'll lead the way for you. It's in the Xuanyuan of No. A."

Fang Yunyi frowned and said, "I know that the courtyards of No. A are very large, but it's impossible for more than 300 people to live there."

The jailer said with a bitter face, "This is the order of the superior. Even the warden has no choice but to arrange for them to live there."

Fang Yun nodded, with a gloomy face, and said nothing.

Fang Yun had heard of Ruolu Prison. The courtyard of No. A was where princes and ministers were imprisoned. At least Hanlin or people with the title of marquis could be imprisoned there. Even if it was very large, it would be very crowded for more than 300 people to live in it.
