Chapter 144

Old Man Fang also wiped the corners of his eyes.

The curious person next to him asked, "Old man, what happened?"

Mrs. Fang's voice was hoarse, and her face was full of deep guilt: "I am the mother-in-law of the female steward in the prison. A few days ago, my old man and I reported to the Ministry of Punishment, saying that she killed my son Fang Yuan. But I didn't expect that it was me who misunderstood my daughter-in-law! It's me!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Fang punched her chest.

"What does that mean?"

Mrs. Fang pointed to the man on crutches: "This is my son Fang Yuan. He didn't die at all!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Didn't you die?!"

Mrs. Fang cried and nodded: "Well, my son is fine, my son's life is very big, my life is big. On the way to Beijing to take the exam, the horse accidentally got frightened and fell off the cliff and broke a leg. Hurry up! Seeing that I missed the chūn 闱, my daughter-in-law was anxious for my son. As soon as the two discussed it, they asked my daughter-in-law to enter the capital on my son's behalf first, and took the letter to the official department to report. My son arrived later and directly participated in the chūn 闱. Unexpectedly, my son was defrauded of money on the way, lost his way, went around in circles, walked all the way, and only arrived in Beijing yesterday!"

"But, but my child's father and I mistakenly thought it was my daughter-in-law who harmed my son, and made my daughter-in-law stay in prison for these days. Think about it, what kind of sins did I do, what sins did I do!!" Fang The old lady cried so hard she almost fainted.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

This is a bit too dramatic, but this is someone's own parents, who are all for their own children, how could they tell lies.

And his son is indeed standing here.

There were many enthusiastic people in the crowd, and they rushed out to give them advice. They followed them to the Punishment Department, looking for adults and asking them to release their daughter-in-law quickly.

Where is the murderer, he is obviously a hero in the women's middle school!

Above the teahouse, Kang Pei suddenly stood up and looked down from the window.

No, how did things change like this?

How did 'Fang Yuan' suddenly become a contemporary Xiu He?

While Kang Pei was still in shock, many scholars next to him had already gone downstairs with great enthusiasm, mixed in with a sense of justice, and helped everyone to quarrel with the Ministry of Punishment, asking them to release them quickly.

When it comes to quarreling, people like the Ministry of Punishment can't quarrel with scholars.

One by one, they can turn the dead into the living.

Hidden in the dark, these days, the Ministry of Punishment has been guarded like gold, and every night after dark, he is engrossed in the five princes who are waiting for the Ji family to come to rob the prison. Unexpectedly, they have been waiting for a few days. and scholars.

At the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, it was as noisy as a vegetable market at the moment.

As for the Ji family, not a single person was seen.

Ji Ming is happy to be in the personnel department, but there hasn't been much work in the personnel department recently. He is playing chess and drinking tea with the second-in-command of the personnel department, so he's not happy.

Ji Mingyuan rode a horse to bask in the sun in his yard.

Ji Mingyan went to the horse market, hoping to find a horse that looked similar to Fifty-two.

Ji Mingshuang was in the Hanlin Academy, and he was full of ancient books.

Ji Yunxi went to Kaitaizhuang to see the goods. The next person collected a box of good medicinal materials, and Kaitaizhuang could make a lot of money.

As for Wu Weian, he heard the footsteps of the steward asking for money early in the morning, and hid in the secret room without saying a word, and couldn't get out of it.

"Waste!" The fifth prince slammed his fist on the table, and the things on the table fell off. "A bunch of trash!"

Below, the wastes were trembling, not daring to say a word.

"That old couple has been missing for three days, for three days! You didn't find anyone, and you let them show up at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment and make a fuss?!" The fifth prince was very angry, "The moment they appeared, you It should be executed!"

The person kneeling on the head trembled: "As soon as the person appears, the subordinate will send someone to report. This matter is very important, and the subordinate does not dare to make an assertion."

The teacup hit him on the head, and the blood was blurred instantly.

The fifth prince: "Everything needs to be clear to me, whether I do things for you, or do you do things for me? A group of empty-headed waste who only focus on three-legged cats, but don't have the ability to judge the situation at all, what do I want from you? use?!"

The woman standing quietly beside her, waited for the fifth prince to finish the fire before stepping forward. She motioned everyone to step back and said softly, "Your Highness, don't be angry."

The fifth prince rubbed his eyebrows and sat down: "The people around me are not very useful. Originally, Yang Weitian was fine, but it was too early. I asked you to find a capable person, do you have a choice?"

The woman shook her head gently: "I haven't found a particularly suitable one. Don't be in a hurry, Your Highness, a capable person is like a good horse, and you can't find it."

The fifth prince closed his eyes: "I know."

The woman asked, "His Royal Highness, what should we do now? Before long, the sage will issue an decree to release him."

The saint was not very honorable when he ascended to the emperor, so these years he has paid more and more attention to reputation. As long as it is beneficial to his reputation, the saint will do it.

As far as this is concerned, they lost.

The fifth prince did not speak for a while.

The woman tentatively said: "Can we let our people let her die in prison?"

"No." The fifth prince opened his eyes, his eyes gloomy, "If Fang Yuan died in prison, there would be a lot of anger. The emperor's reputation is very important, and he will definitely order a thorough investigation of the punishment department, and the punishment department will not be investigated."

"Let it go." The fifth prince gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness, "That Fang Yuan is not a character, but a little bug dispatched to attract Ji's family. This time I lost."
