Chapter 641: Face
Serious offenders suspected of rebellion will definitely not be allowed to visit the prison according to the rules, and if their relatives come to visit the prison, they will even be arrested and beheaded together, but Li Xin's identity, although he can't save Li Ye, it should be no problem to take a look.
The prison of the Criminal Department is generally for felons, or officials who have committed crimes in the imperial court, so the people who come here to visit the prison are usually not ordinary people, and after hearing Li Xin's words, someone immediately came up to interrogate them.
"Who are you visiting?"
Li Xin tied his horse to the pillar next to the prison of the Criminal Department, and said, "Yuan Jingzhao Yin Li Ye." ”
After hearing this name, this person's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
In this era, it is very difficult to communicate information on the picture, Li Xin's name has spread all over the capital at this time, at least there are very few people in the capital who don't know his name, but there are not many people who have really met and know what he looks like.
He didn't have the heart to play any prestige with these officials of the Criminal Department, but just spoke quietly.
"Li Xin of the military department."
After hearing this, this person immediately knew who the person was, and immediately bowed his head and said: "It turned out to be Li Houye, the villain was not welcomed, and asked Li Shangshu to forgive his sins." ”
Li Xin shook his head and said: "You don't recognize me, where is the sin, if you can let me in, let me in, if you can't let me in, report to it, if you are really not sure, report directly to Shen Shangshu of the Criminal Department, I will wait here." ”
Saying that, Li Xin did not step towards the big guy, but asked them to move a stool for themselves, and sat under the big willow tree, waiting quietly.
Seeing this, this little official had no choice but to turn his head and report to the official.
Naturally, they couldn't let Li Xin in, after all, no one could afford to take care of what happened, and Li Xin's grade was here, and they couldn't ignore it, and they reported it layer by layer, and reported it to the ears of the two waiters in the Criminal Department, and these two waiters had no way to listen to it, after all, Li Xin's grade and merits were there, and they had to keep their heads down when they went to see Li Xin, so they simply reported it directly to the Shangshu Shen Mo of the Criminal Department who had returned home from work.
Shen Shangshu's family lived in Liushufang, he didn't hesitate much, directly changed his clothes, and walked to the prison of the Criminal Department.
By the time he arrived at the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, it was already completely dark.
There was a curfew outside the street, but the lights in the willow shop had not been extinguished, and lanterns hung everywhere.
Shen Mo led people to hold torches, and finally found Li Xin under the big willow tree.
It was still summer at this time, the air was hot at night, and the big willow tree was full of mosquitoes.
Shen Mo stepped forward and bowed to Li Xin: "Li Shangshu." ”
He is very smart, and he is called the position of the secretary of Li Xin's military department, after all, Li Xin's other two titles, whether it is Jing'an Hou or the prince and prince, are more than him as the secretary of the criminal department, but he only calls Li Shangshu, and the two of them are considered equal.
Li Xin didn't care about these careful eyes, he patted his robe, got up slowly, and saluted: "Shen Shangshu." ”
Shen Mo smiled at Li Xin and said, "Li Shangshu came to the prison of the Criminal Department so late, and he wants to see the Qin criminals who are suspected of participating in the rebellion, I don't know if there is His Majesty's permission?" ”
"A trivial matter, I have never asked Your Majesty."
Li Xin smiled and said: "If you have asked Your Majesty, you won't have to work Shen Shangshu to run out so late." ”
Shen Mo frowned and said, "Li Shangshu, this is a prisoner. ”
The Marquis of Jing'an's face did not change, and said indifferently: "I just went in to take a look, how can Shen Shangshu have the authority to go in when I go in this trivial matter, it just depends on whether Shen Shangshu is willing or not." ”
No one wants to offend Li Xin.
At least at this moment, he was newly knighted and named the crown prince and prince, depending on the situation, it is very likely that he will really become the prince's teacher, and it can be said that he is the most dazzling figure in the Taikang Dynasty and even in the next dynasty.
Although this Marquis of Jing'an looks tepid on the surface, he doesn't seem to be aggressive, and he hasn't heard of him acting arrogantly on weekdays, but the group of people at the top of the court know in their hearts that this seemingly gentle young man has very strong combat effectiveness.
How did the Pingnan Hou Mansion disappear, they have been watching it in the past few years!
Although Shen Mo is known for his upright temper, he will not completely offend Li Xin because of such a trivial matter, and with the relationship between Li Xin and the Son of Heaven, he is not allowed here today, and tomorrow Li Xin will go to see the Son of Heaven, and he will be allowed to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see people.
Thinking of this, Shen Mo slowly spoke: "Li Shangshu has made outstanding achievements, this official should not stop you, today this official can let Li Shangshu in, but say in advance, this official will explain this matter in detail in the book, please Li Shangshu Haihan." ”
Li Xin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Shen Shangshu, please." ”
Shen Mo slowly made way and motioned for Li Xin to go in.
When Li Xin walked in front of Shen Mo, he glanced at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and asked, "Li Ye's family, didn't they suffer inside?" ”
"Nope."
Shen Mo sighed and said: "Li Fujun is highly respected, and he was also a friend of this official in his early years, this time he was implicated, and everyone in the government and the opposition regretted it, and this official naturally would not embarrass him." ”
Li Xin nodded, followed behind a junior official of the Criminal Department, and entered the prison of the Criminal Department.
This is the advantage of having a higher status, now that Li Xin is walking in the capital, except for the high-ranking Son of Heaven, there are really few people in the Yamen who dare to embarrass him.
After seven and eight turns in the prison, under the guidance of the person in front, Li Xin smoothly came to the door of a relatively large cell.
"Lord Li's family is inside, Master Hou, please take it."
After saying this, the little official bent down and retreated.
Li Xin glanced at the situation in the cell and couldn't help but sigh.
It's summer, and there is a strong smell of sour sweat in the cell, although Li Ye's family has not been tortured much, but in this environment alone, it is already very difficult.
Li Ye has a total of two sons, three grandsons and two granddaughters, plus the female dependents of the family, a total of more than a dozen people are locked in this cell, the youngest granddaughter looks only four or five years old, but she seems to be tired of crying, lying in her mother's arms to sleep.
Old man Li Ye also looked at the wall, as if he was asleep.
Li Xin stretched out his hand and knocked on the cell door, and said, "Lord Fuzun, the junior has come to see you." ”
Li Ye's body moved, and then he turned around and saw Li Xin, dressed in green clothes, standing at the door of the cell.
His eyes lit up, and he was about to stand up to talk to Li Xin, when he suddenly remembered something, the light in his eyes dimmed again, and he slowly got up and stood up, sighing.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Xin waved his hand and motioned to the little official next to him to open the cell door, and after he got in, he let the little official go farther.
He smiled at Li Ye.
"Without him, let's take a look at the elders."
Li Ye's expression moved slightly, and then he snorted and said: "Come to visit the elders, just come empty-handed, the old man's family will die soon, and you don't know how to bring some delicious food to come over and cook a severed head meal with us." ”
Li Xin let out a long sigh and spoke.
"I pleaded with Your Majesty, but I didn't ask for help."
As he spoke, he whispered.
"If there is anything to Li Xin to do, Li Xin will definitely do his best."
