Chapter 328 The King Regent Has Orders
Yan Yun turned his wrist, put the long sword behind his back, stared at the people around him, and finally, his eyes fell on Yan Cong.
He raised his voice and said: "The Regent has issued an order. There are still many doubts about the battle in Yucheng. Until the truth is found out, Chu Weiran is temporarily detained in the prison of the Supervision Department. Without the regent's warrant, no one is allowed to interrogate or visit!"
Turning around, Yan Yun cut off the rope binding Chu Weiran with his sword, and helped him up.
"Our lord said that before there is any real evidence to convict Prime Minister Chu, he is still Dayan's prime minister. Neither the emperor nor the regent have issued an order to remove him from office, and no one has the right to easily chop off his head."
Yan Yun looked at Yan Cong, and made a gesture of 'please', "Your Highness, Third Prince, we are here to invite you."
Yan Cong's eyes flickered slightly, he never thought that Yan Jinyu had just returned to the capital, and would arrange everything so quickly, even going so far as to save Chu Weiran's life at the expense of robbing the execution ground.
"You said the regent is back? He's not dead? That's great." Yan Cong forced a smile, restraining his killing intent towards Chu Weiran, "Since the regent believes in Prime Minister Chu, the prince naturally believes too. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise, if it is found out in the future that everything has nothing to do with Prime Minister Chu, wouldn’t this prince kill a generation of prime ministers by mistake today.”
"Please, Third Prince." Yan Yun glanced coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm, but he wanted to see if this man could still be as calm as he is now in front of the Lord.
Before Chu Weiran recovered from the shock of "the regent is still alive", he was escorted by Yan Wei to the prison of the Supervision Department. He even changed into a new prison uniform for him and had all the necessities for life. , There is even a special person to heal the wounds on his body.
The people in front of the Meridian Gate were in a state of confusion.
"Why would the Regent send someone to rescue Chu Weiran? Didn't Chu Weiran cause heavy losses to the Yan family's army and almost kill him?"
"That's right, could it be that the reason the Prince Regent rushed back to Beijing today is to save Chu Weiran at a critical moment?"
"No, think about it, Chu Weiran is a traitor. He stole blueprints, leaked military aircraft, and joined forces with the enemy to rob Yan's army. After using it over and over again, he didn't say a word, could it be that there is really a grievance?"
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, Chu Weiran was an upright and honest official in the past. He never feared the rich and powerful. Since he became the prime minister, he has provided many benefits to the common people. Like someone who would do something like that."
"Well, anyway, when the regent is back, he will always find out the truth. If Chu Weiran is really wronged, at worst, we will kneel in front of him to confess our mistakes, and then jointly write a letter to punish the real culprit. But if these things It was Chu Weiran who did it, each of us can drown him with a mouthful of saliva."
The people dispersed, but Yan Cong became timid. Thinking of Yan Jinyu's stern aura and those cold, unripe eyes, he couldn't help feeling cold on his back, walking slower and slower, standing still. In front of the sedan chair, I didn't want to step up for a long time.
"Your Highness!"
Suddenly, a person came on horseback from a distance, knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Cong, with an eager expression on his face, "Your Highness, the princess has fainted, please return to the residence immediately."
