Dali Temple Prison.

The so-called edict prison is to detain prisoners who are arrested by the emperor's personal edict, generally speaking, officials at the level of Jiuqing have this honor, because at the level of Jiuqing, unless the emperor issues an edict, there is no way for the three law divisions to convict.

But now, Li Ji, the general of Yulin Weilang from the fifth grade, is fortunate to be imprisoned inside.

In the evening of this day, Li Yan, a soldier in normal clothes, came to Dali Temple and saw the Dali Temple Qing Yan Shou who was about to go home from work.

Yan Shouzhuo is more than fifty years old this year, and at his age, he basically wants to be the head in the position of Dali Siqing, and this Yan Zhengqing is not in very good health, and many people in the government and the opposition think that he will die in office.

Dali Siqing and the military department are both three products, Li Yan came, Yan Shouzhuo naturally wanted to receive, in the Dali Siqing's class room, Yan Shouzhuo personally poured a cup of tea for Li Yan, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "How did Li Shilang have time to come to my Dali Temple"

Li Yan bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "I have come to ask Yan Qingzheng for one thing." ”

Yan Shouzhuo's face changed slightly, and he said, "Li Shilang doesn't want to see that person who violated Li Ji."

Li Yanchang exhaled and said: "That's right, Yan Qing has been an official in the court for many years, and naturally knows that Li Ji was recommended by the Pingnan Hou Mansion to enter the court, and now that he has committed something and is in trouble, the younger brother must go to see him, if he has something to explain outside, the Pingnan Hou Mansion still has to try his best to do it." ”

Yan Shou shook his head: "Li Shilang thinks too seriously, as far as this official knows, although Li Ji has done evil, he has acted quite rigorously, and his subordinates have not personally contaminated human life, most of those who died committed suicide, his guilt is not heavy, he will sit in prison, but he will not take his life, Li Shilang can rest assured." ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Lord Qingzheng, you are also from a big family, you should know the weight of this, Li Ji was recommended by my Hou Mansion, he had an accident, the Hou Mansion needs to give an explanation to the court and the Li family, no matter what, I have to see him in the future." ”

Strictly observed, clumsy, and embarrassed.

"Li Shilang, it's not that the official is unreasonable, it's just that this Li Ji was personally ordered by His Majesty, and now the Three Law Divisions have not been arraigned, and without His Majesty's warrant, no one can see him, if it is spread out, Dali Temple will be held responsible."

Li Yan took out a stack of bearer bills from Chase Bank from his sleeve and slowly placed them on the table.

"Lord Qingzheng, this is a little bit of my heart from the Pingnan Hou Mansion to my lord."

Yan Shouzhuo's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the pile of Chase money orders on the table.

Each one is a hundred, and together there are at least several thousand dollars.

In this world, there is nothing that money can't do, but the money given to this Dali Siqing is very particular, it must be no more and no less, if you don't ask him, more will arouse his suspicion.

A few thousand dollars, just no more, no less.

Yan Shou pondered for a moment, and finally slowly lowered his head: "It's okay for Li Shilang to go to the edict, but he has to change into the clothes of a jailer, and after entering, it must not exceed half an hour." ”

Li Yan nodded happily: "Thank you Yan Qing for being successful." ”

A moment later, an old jailer of the Imperial Prison, under the instruction of Yan Shouclumsy, took Li Yan, who was also wearing the clothes of a jailer, into the Imperial Prison of Dali Temple.

This is actually a commonplace thing, after all, those who can be locked up in the edict were all big people at the beginning, and it is not surprising that some people would think of a way to come in and meet them.

There are actually not many people in the edict prison of Dali Temple, only five or six people are counted, after all, at the level of Jiuqing, there are not many people who really fall out with the emperor.

Even if you fall out, it's hard to survive.

The old jailer led Li Yan to a new cell, and after opening the cell door, the old jailer said in a sullen voice: "It's only half an hour, and it's easy to have an accident if you have more." ”

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Got it." ”

After the old jailer had finished speaking, he walked away with a very familiar acquaintance.

Li Yan squatted down in the cell and looked at the middle-aged man with disheveled hair in front of him.

Li Ji was originally a person who loved cleanliness, and his hair was meticulously combed on weekdays, but he was suddenly taken into prison, and under the ups and downs of his mentality, the whole person became disheveled and embarrassed.

Li Yan said softly: "Li Ji, do you still recognize me?"

Li Yanjiu was not in the capital, and he and this Lang General of Yulinwei had met no more than three times in total, and the two of them were not familiar with each other.

Li Ji raised his head, first looked at Li Yan who was wearing a jailer's uniform and frowned slightly, and after a while, he finally recognized who Li Yan was, and then the middle-aged man with a white face and two mustaches immediately became excited.

"Second Brother Li, you're here to save me out"

Li Ji is also about forty years old this year, but under the ups and downs, he looks a little like a child.

Li Yan said indifferently: "For a while, you will definitely not be able to get out." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yan paused and added: "But you don't have to worry too much, you can't die, at most you can stay in prison for a few years before you can get out." ”

Li Yan shook his head.

"Second brother, you can't say that, this prison is full of filth, where is the place for people"

He was born in a family, and he loved cleanliness the most, even to the point of cleanliness, and the prison was full of rotten stench and rats, and he couldn't stay here for a quarter of an hour.

Li Yan snorted: "Do you want to be clean, or do you want to die?"

Li Ji obediently became honest and did not speak.

Li Yan lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Listen, I wasted all my strength to enter the edict prison, I didn't tell you this nonsense, let me ask you, you have been in Yulinwei for so long, are there any diehards under your hands?"

Li Ji glanced at Li Yan in amazement, and after a while, he nodded stunnedly: "There are some"

He has been working in Yulinwei for nearly ten years, and he has been a general for four or five years, so he naturally has a lot of diehards under his hands.

"If you speak now, will they still listen?"

Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "I want to listen to it." ”

Li Yan closed his eyes and said, "Okay, you read out their names now, and I'll try to write them down." ”

Li Ji's lips trembled, and he said, "Second brother, what are you going to do?"

This Yulin Weilang general, his body is almost swinging.

"Second brother, you won't be using them"

He didn't say the last few words, and he didn't dare to say them.

Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "You put ten thousand hearts and use your people to do this kind of thing, do you want me to worry about it?"

The soldier glanced at Li Ji lightly: "You have to do it in three years if you are in prison this time, you have to help me by speaking out now, your family outside, Pingnan Hou Mansion will help take care of it, if you don't want to, the evil things you have done over the years are enough for your family to suffer."

"Don't talk about it."

After saying six or seven names in one breath, Li Ji's face turned pale and he said: "Second brother, don't do stupid things, if you really want to use them and do that thing, in the future, the court will investigate it, not only the affairs of you and me, but also the entire Li family of Zhao County."

"Don't worry."

Li Yan slowly stood up and said, "I just want to use them to do something big, and with your prestige, they won't be willing to do it." ”

With that, Li Yan stood up and walked out of the edict prison of Dali Temple.
