Chapter 452
"Then what do you plan to do?" Since Zhu Zhizhi already understood the meaning of the fifth line, she naturally wanted to know what his next move would be.
In the fifth line, he suddenly stopped and thought for a moment, and then asked Zhu Zhizhi: "Have you been to Dongchang Private Prison?"
"No? Why should I go there if I have nothing to do?" Zhu Zhizhi shook her head and asked.
"Then do you have a way for me to sneak in?" Line 5 then asked.
"I'm afraid this is really not possible. Even my imperial brother does not have the authority to go directly to Dongchang private prison to arrest people. Unless the emperor issues an imperial edict, we can go in and have a look." Zhu Zhizhi shook his head and said.
Wu Xingwen said that he immediately knew how powerful Dongchang was. Not only did it have the power to arrest court ministers, but it also had a private prison in the imperial city that did not allow outsiders to enter, so naturally no one knew what was inside.
what happened.
"But if the emperor were to issue an edict, then Shi Zhong would have known about it a long time ago and would have made corresponding arrangements to move the people we wanted to see to other places. Then it would be meaningless for us to go in with the edict.
"When I thought about this section in the fifth line, I suddenly realized that it was still a bit tricky, and for a while I didn't have any solution.
"Hey! I know someone who has a solution!" Zhu Zhizhi also knew that it was inappropriate to ask the emperor to issue an order, so she thought carefully and it really made her think of someone who could help them.
"Who?" Line 5 asked with a smile on his face.
"Commander of the Jinyi Guards Wang Jinghao." Zhu Zhizhi replied.
"Does he really have a way?" The fifth line doesn't seem to believe what Zhizhi said, because he knows that Prince Xiao can't do anything, and Wang Jinghao's power will never be greater than Prince Xiao, so what can he do?
"My imperial brother has no choice, mainly because he has never dealt with Dongchang directly. Secondly, he and Eunuch Shi have always been in harmony with each other. If the imperial brother arranges this matter, it is not impossible. But in this case,
Eunuch Shi will definitely be very nervous, and he is even more guarded against leaks than the emperor's edict. Among the people in the palace, the person who has the most dealings with Dongchang is the Jin Yiwei. Although Dongchang can arrest people at will, but
Many prisoners must be handed over to Jinyiwei North Town Fusi for trial. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have an equal relationship, and they are both directly ordered by the emperor, so Mr. Wang has the right to directly interrogate prisoners without Shi Zhong's consent.
And because they were both ordered by my brother, the emperor, Shi Zhong did not dare to ask my brother for confirmation. Therefore, it was naturally up to him to arrange the matter without the knowledge of God or the ghost." Zhu Zhizhi explained.
"So the relationship is so complicated? If it's as you said, then in the capital, apart from people from Dongchang, only Jin Yiwei can go to Dongchang to interrogate prisoners?" The fifth line clearly understood what Zhu Zhizhi meant.
"That's right. So we can go to Commander Wang for help and see when he will go to the East Factory to pick up the prisoners, and then mix us in with the Jinyi Guards, and then we can go in with a big show." Zhu Zhizhi further explained.
"This is indeed a good idea, then let's go to Mr. Wang for help." The fifth line also immediately agreed.
The fifth line and Zhu Zhizhi have a good relationship with Wang Jinghao, and Wang Jinghao is very loyal to the emperor, so they will never leak this matter. Since the two of them thought of him, they naturally planned to go find him immediately.
Zhu Zhizhi was quite well-informed about the news in the palace. After asking around, she found out that Wang Jinghao had just gone to the Jinluan Palace to see the emperor.
Zhu Zhizhi didn't care, and headed straight for the Jinluan Palace with the fifth party. Of course, she didn't want to go straight to the palace, but just planned to wait for him outside the palace.
The two of them were lucky. As soon as they walked outside the palace, Wang Jinghao happened to come out, and they happened to meet face to face.
"That's great, Mr. Wang, we are looking for you! We don't want to bump into you." Zhu Zhizhi liked to say.
"Princess, Fifth Young Hero, are you looking for me? What's the matter?" Wang Jinghao asked.
Zhu Zhizhi and Wu Xing now knew that Dongchang had many spies in the palace, so they did not dare to speak lightly.
Seeing that the two of them were very mysterious, Wang Jinghao immediately guessed that there must be something important, so he said calmly: "Then go back to my place first, and then talk about it carefully."
So without saying anything all the way, the three of them went straight back to Fusi, Jinyiwei Yamen North Town, and then Wang Jinghao asked: "May I ask the princess and the fifth young hero, why are you looking for me? It must be to discuss something!"
"Haha! Mr. Wang's guess is right. We don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything! To be honest, we want to sneak into the Dongchang private prison to find something, but we don't want the people in the Dongchang to find out. The princess said this
Only Mr. Wang can handle the matter, so I came here to trouble you and ask you to help me." The fifth line said directly.
Wang Jinghao thought for a while, but did not speak immediately. He was obviously hesitant. Of course, Wang Jinghao also knew that the fifth line was doing things for King Xiao, but King Xiao had many conflicts with Shi Zhong now. If he could not handle this matter well,
He is very likely to fall into the vortex of fighting between these two families.
"Commander Wang, this matter should not be difficult for you to handle! Although Dongchang can arrest people into their private prisons at will, Mr. Wang also has the right to interrogate and supervise. As long as Mr. Wang will
It won't be difficult for us to sneak in by pretending to be royal guards." Seeing that Wang Jinghao was still hesitant, Zhu Zhizhi clarified the matter.
"The matter is indeed not difficult to handle. However, princess, can you tell me what you want to do in there? The princess should also know that although this matter is not difficult to handle, the relationship is not trivial. If you accidentally poke the emperor's ears, I'm afraid that
In a humble position, you just have to walk around without eating!" Wang Jinghao obviously still had some scruples.
Zhu Zhizhi was obviously still thinking about it, but Wu Xing had already spoken first and told him everything. Because Wu Xing and Wang Jinghao had known each other for a long time, he could see that there was a serious division in the court.
Among the two factions, Wang Jinghao still leans towards Prince Xiao.
"So that's it, you want to go in and find General Song Jin! But General Song is an important official of the imperial court. Since he was escorted back to the capital, he should meet the emperor first. Is Shi Zhong so bold as to dare to hide General Song?
In Dongchang, he is not allowed to meet the emperor?" Wang Jinghao said with deep doubts.
"The fifth line has just gone to see Eunuch Fan of Dongchang. The fifth line is sure that Eunuch Fan has never told the truth to the emperor and Prince Xiao about this matter. That's why the fifth line begins to doubt. Dongchang is hiding the truth and God doesn't know.
, he secretly hid General Song Jin in a private prison, and it would be difficult for the emperor and King Xiao to discover it, but it is not impossible." The fifth line analyzes it.
"Commander Wang, please tell me first, will you go to Dongchang to pick up people in the near future? If you won't go at all in the near future, then even if you want to help, there should be nothing you can do." Zhu Zhizhi was very happy and continued to ask.
.
"Recently, there is indeed an important person who will be transferred from Dongchang Prison to Zhao Prison. If you really want to go in, then come to me first tomorrow, and then go in with me to pick someone up. But remember, no matter you are in there
Whatever you are doing, be sure not to let the people from Dongchang discover it." Wang Jinghao obviously didn't say anything else, which was to ask them not to implicate him. Wu Xing and Zhu Zhizhi were both very smart, and they could naturally hear the hidden meaning in these words.
"What kind of important person needs Mr. Wang to intervene in person?" Zhu Zhizhi knew that when Jin Yiwei wanted to interrogate a prisoner, it was usually not necessary for Wang Jinghao to intervene in person. If he wanted to interrogate the person in person, the prisoner must be a real big shot.
"Han Xiaozhong, a third-rank official in the imperial court and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, do you think he is considered a big shot?" Wang Jinghao asked in return.
You must know that Wang Jinghao, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is only a third-grade officer, and the prisoner is also a high-ranking officer of the third grade, so he really needs to act in person to reach the rank.
"Mr. Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, what happened to him? When was he arrested by Dongchang? What crime did he commit?" Zhu Zhizhi was obviously very surprised when she heard that Han Xiaozhong was arrested, and judging from her appearance, she didn't know anything about it.
thing.
"What crime? What crime is there? Haha! Mr. Han just participated in a Dongchang, and those officials who secretly colluded with the Dongchang were suddenly arrested by the Dongchang last night, and Eunuch Shi told him
Corruption and bribery, forming cliques for personal gain. What is even more unexpected is that Eunuch Shi can actually produce a large number of witnesses and physical evidence. This matter
The emperor and Prince Xiao were both surprised, but they couldn't help Mr. Han for a while. Therefore, the emperor had to let us Jin Yiwei intervene in the matter in order to clarify the matter as soon as possible. If the people of Dongchang are allowed to do whatever they want, then
Mr. Han is really dead." When Wang Jinghao said this, he seemed to be feeling unfair for Mr. Han in his heart.
"Master Han has always been an honest official, how could anyone accuse him?" Zhu Zhizhi also said very puzzled.
"But all the personal and material evidence are there, and even the emperor can't do anything about it. The plan for now is to bring Mr. Han up first, and then we can make a long-term plan. As long as we find out what the personal and material evidence is, we can definitely return Han.
Your Excellency is innocent. If Mr. Han is really wronged, the Emperor and His Highness will definitely do their best to protect him." Wang Jinghao continued.
"Needless to say, it must be those eunuchs who are excluding dissidents. Among today's ministers, few dare to go against Dongchang. Only Mr. Han dares to speak out and remonstrate." Zhu Zhizhi was also very unhappy.
"It's too early to draw a conclusion now. Let's wait until we meet Mr. Han tomorrow!" Wang Jinghao said in a slightly helpless tone.
"Then when will you go to Dongchang tomorrow to pick up someone?" the fifth line asked.
"Afternoon!" Wang Jinghao replied.
"Shi Zhong dared to arrest a third-rank court official without permission, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he hid General Song in a private prison. Well, let's come over at noon tomorrow." The fifth line thought for a while and said.
