At the suggestion of the ministers, Liu Xiu handed over Feng Yi's case to the court lieutenant Deng Chen for trial.

There are not many people in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, and the case can be so important that it can be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion, it must not be a small case, and for now, the Tingwei Mansion has really not personally handled a few cases.

Feng Yi was imprisoned in a single cell, the environment was not bad, at least there were thick straw mats and bedding inside, and the environment was also dry, compared with the cold and damp of ordinary prisons, the conditions here were excellent.

Deng Chen walked into the prison and arranged the entourage to a distance, he came to Feng Yi's cell alone, opened the door, and walked in.

Seeing Deng Chen coming, Feng Yi, who was originally sitting on the straw mat, immediately got up and bowed his hand.

Deng Chen waved his hand at him and motioned for Feng Yi to sit down.

He walked up to Feng Yi, sat down as well, and asked with a frown, "Gongsun, I only want to ask you one thing, have you rebelled?" ”

Feng Yi's face was straight, and he said, "I will never make a rebellion." ”

Hearing this, Deng Chen relieved himself, as long as Feng Yi did not rebel, as long as he did not step on this red line, then no matter how big the case was, everything was easy to say, and it had to be discussed.

He asked, "Why did you kill Chang'an Ling?" ”

"Chang'an ordered the fornication of Gongsun Shu, I can't keep him!"

"Then why did you kill the imperial envoy Li Bing again?"

Feng Yi sighed and said, "Li Bing was not killed by me, if it was really me, I would never admit it." ”

Deng Chen asked again: "Do the people of Sanfu really call you the King of Xianyang?" ”

Feng Yi smiled, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm stationed in Sanfu, and there are enough things, where can I still have the leisure to care what others call me?" ”

Deng Chen looked at Feng Yi and frowned, in fact, Feng Yi's case can be explained clearly in a few words, but why did His Majesty bring Feng Yi to the Tingwei Mansion?

Feng Yi is certainly at fault, but what is it if he is only guilty of such a small mistake?

With Feng Yi's friendship with His Majesty, Your Majesty really has no reason to do this! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, especially when he saw Feng Yi's relaxed appearance, it felt even more wrong, and now Feng Yi was not afraid of being imprisoned, but more like he was a guest.

Seeing Deng Chen's eyes staring at him deeply, he didn't say anything for a long time, knowing that he must be suspicious.

Feng Yi scratched his head, pondered for a moment, reached into his arms, took out a jade talisman from it, and handed it to Deng Chen.

Deng Chen took the jade talisman, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, he stood up subconsciously, and stammered: "This ...... This is ......" Feng Yi smiled at Deng Chen, got up and said, "Presumably, Your Majesty will send someone to summon Wei Qing soon!" ”

Deng Chen looked surprised and asked, "Gongsun, what the hell are you and Your Majesty doing?" ”

Feng Yi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's better to wait for Wei Qing to see Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will talk about it!" ”

As he spoke, he took the jade talisman back from Deng Chen's hand, wiped it very preciously, and put it back into his arms.

Although Deng Chen still didn't know what was going on, he was sure of one thing, the reason why His Majesty brought Feng Yi to the Tingwei Mansion this time was definitely not simple.

He nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I think it's strange, with your friendship with Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty take such a trivial matter to punish your crime......" Before he finished speaking, an entourage hurriedly walked over, stood outside the cell, bowed to Deng Chen, and said urgently: "Deng Tingwei, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace!" ”

Deng Chen subconsciously looked at Feng Yi, who had already sat back on the straw mat with an expressionless expression.

He smiled in his heart, nodded to the entourage outside, and said, "I see." ”

After speaking, he looked at Feng Yi again and walked out.

Before leaving the prison, Deng Chen also specially explained: "During my absence, no one is allowed to enter the prison. ”

The jailers present bowed down one after another and said in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Deng Chen left the Tingwei Mansion and went to the palace.

In the Qingliang Palace, Deng Chen saw Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu smiled at Deng Chen and said, "Wei Qing must be very confused about Gongsun's matter, right?" ”

Hearing this, Deng Chen was just about to speak, but suddenly paused and looked left and right.

Liu Xiu waved his hand outward and said, "Let's all step back!" ”

The attendants led by Zhang Kun withdrew from the hall one after another, and when they all went out, Deng Chen took two steps forward and said, "How can Gongsun be ...... How can there be a jade talisman of the Son of Heaven? ”

"I gave it to him."

Liu Xiu motioned for Deng Chen to sit in front of him and said, "This time, I sent Gongsun into the Tingwei Mansion, but in fact, it was just a play, a play for Gongsun Shu!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu told Deng Chen the truth of the matter one by one.

Deng Chen is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law, although the second sister Liu Yuan has already died in Xiao Chang'anju, the family affection between the two of them has always been there, and Liu Xiu also trusts Deng Chen very much.

After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Deng Chen showed a look of sudden realization, no wonder Feng Yi was imprisoned by the Lower Court Lieutenant, he was not afraid at all, and he was not worried at all, it turned out that this was planned by His Majesty, Feng Yi, and Li You in advance, and its purpose was to deceive Gongsun Shu.

Deng Chen let out a long breath and said, "I see! ”

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Wechen was originally worried about whether His Majesty had misunderstood Gongsun, but now it seems that Wechen has misunderstood. ”

Liu Xiu laughed, and after a while, he restrained his smile and said: "This time, the layout is also indispensable for Wei Qing's help, tonight, you have to secretly let go of Gongsun, and remember, remember to find a safe person, continue to pretend to be Gongsun, stay in Tingwei Prison, and don't let anyone meet him!" ”

Deng Chen nodded while listening, and responded, "Weichen understands." ”

Liu Xiu thought for a while and continued: "During this time, there will be a lot of people going to the Tingwei Mansion, some people may be interceding for Gongsun, but there is also no shortage of people who want to cure Gongsun's crimes, you have to find a way to deal with the past." ”

"Wechen understands."

"Also, Gongsun's family is also likely to come to the Tingwei Mansion, and they can neither be too arrogant nor too close to them, and you have to grasp the scale of it, Weiqing, yourself."

"Wechen understands."

Liu Xiu finished explaining what should be explained, and then let Deng Chen go back.

That night, Deng Chen secretly let Feng Yi go, and at the back door of the Tingwei Mansion, there were already people waiting.

Feng Yi went out of the back door and got into the carriage directly, the carriage didn't stop for a moment, and the coachman who drove the carriage waved his whip and drove away.

After sending Feng Yi away, Deng Chen returned to the mansion and arranged for one of his henchmen to change into prison clothes and sit in the cell with a disheveled hairbeat, pretending to be Feng Yi.

This domestic servant is about the same age as Feng Yi, and his figure is about the same, plus the cloak that covers his face, and it is really difficult to distinguish when he looks at it.

Feng Yi's carriage circled around the city and confirmed that no one was following him, so he went straight to the city gate.

With the edict of the Son of Heaven, the city gate was opened, and the carriage galloped out of the city, all the way to the west, and went straight to Chang'an.

This time, the layout of Liu Xiu, Feng Yi and others is very secretive, and there are only a handful of people who know the truth of the matter, except for Liu Xiu, there are only Li You, Deng Chen, and Hua Feiyan.

Feng Yi, the general of the expedition to the west, was sent to prison by the Son of Heaven, and he was also imprisoned in Tingwei Prison, which is not a trivial matter.

When they came to the Tingwei Mansion, there were not a few people who asked Deng Chen to intercede, and similarly, there were many people who asked to interrogate Feng Yi with Deng Chen.

For these people, Deng Chen can't see them, he really can't shirk them, after meeting, he only said a few words and left in a hurry.

In the afternoon of the same day, Feng Yi's wife, Zhang, came to the Tingwei Mansion with her second son and asked to see Deng Chen.

Speaking of which, what Deng Chen was most afraid of seeing was Feng Yi's family, and he couldn't explain it to Feng Yi's family.

Deng Chen stubbornly met with Zhang, Feng Zhang, and Feng Xin.

Feng Zhang is Feng Yi's eldest son, thirteen or fourteen years old, and Feng Xin is the second son, seven or eight years old.

After seeing Deng Chen, Zhang pulled his two sons and knelt down for Deng Chen together.

Seeing this, Deng Chen was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, helped Zhang, Feng Zhang, and Feng Xin together, and said, "What is this doing, Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Isn't this a frustration for Wei Qing? ”

"Please also ask Deng Tingwei to tell me the truth, what crime did my beloved commit?"

At that time, wives generally addressed their husbands with the title of 'beloved'.

"Uh......" Deng Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, it's not a big case, Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much, with two children, let's go home and wait for news!" ”

If the crime is not a big crime, how can he be imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion?

Zhang didn't believe Deng Chen's words, and asked, "Deng Tingwei, can you let the concubine see my beloved?" ”

"It's not going to work!"

Even if he sent someone to pretend to be Deng Chen, he could bluff others, but he definitely couldn't bluff Zhang.

Seeing that Zhang Shi was looking at himself with teary eyes when he heard this, Deng Chen secretly grinned, cleared his throat, and said, "This ...... This is Your Majesty's intention, Your Majesty does not allow anyone to see Gongsun, I ...... I can't help it! ”

"What has my beloved done?

If it wasn't a big case, how could His Majesty be so ruthless? ”

Zhang said in a choked voice.

Deng Chen said: "Sister-in-law, let's go home first and wait for the news, and in another three or five days, when the matter is investigated, I will naturally give justice to my grandson!" ”

After speaking, he changed his words and said: "There are still some important things to deal with in the future, please forgive Weiqing for not accompanying him!" ”

"Deng Tingwei......" Zhang still wanted to stop Deng Chen, and waited for Deng Chen to stride away without looking back.

Unable to get a satisfactory answer from Deng Chen, Zhang took the two children and went directly to the palace to see Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was not surprised at all that Feng Yi's wife came to see him, he said that he had not seen Zhang's because of his illness, but he just asked people to bring a message to Zhang's and asked her to take her two children back to her home and wait for news.

Zhang also went out, took the two children, and knelt outside the palace gate, only asking the Son of Heaven to summon him.

Hua Feiyan informed Liu Xiu of the situation outside the palace, and the latter's body subconsciously leaned forward, but finally held back.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Just ...... Let's let them kneel outside the palace for a while! ”

Feng Yi was imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion because of a 'serious crime', and if he met Feng Yi's family so soon, then this drama would seem too fake.

Zhang, Feng Zhang, and Feng Xin knelt for an afternoon, and when it was getting dark, Deng Yu hurried outside the palace to persuade Zhang to return home.

Zhang said that if she can't see the Son of Heaven today, she will always kneel here, and she will get up whenever the Son of Heaven agrees with her.

Deng Yu sighed and said meaningfully: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is not helping her grandson, but harming her grandson!" ”

Seeing the look of surprise on Zhang's face, Deng Yu asked rhetorically, "Does Mrs. Sister-in-law know what she is doing now?"

This is forcing the palace! Even if Gongsun is not guilty, or only commits a minor crime, he will now be implicated by his sister-in-law.

Besides, if Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't think about herself, she should also think about her two children, she is tired and regrets it! ”

Deng Yu can speak well, and in just a few words, he scared Zhang out of a cold sweat.

In the end, Deng Yu persuaded and frightened, and finally said that he moved the Zhang family, and he personally sent the Zhang family, Feng Zhang, and Feng Xin back to the Feng Mansion.

On the way, Deng Yu also repeatedly said that His Majesty and Gongsun have a good relationship, and the relationship is extraordinary, even if Gongsun really commits a serious crime, His Majesty will open the net, so that she doesn't have to worry too much.

The matter here in Luoyang soon spread to Chengdu.

Hearing that Feng Yi was imprisoned by Liu Xiu, Gongsun Shu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

For now, the person he fears the most is Feng Yi.

Not because of anything else, just because Feng Yi was closest to him and could pose the most direct threat to him.

In addition, he has always coveted Sanfu, but with Feng Yi here, he didn't dare to send troops at all, and now Feng Yi was sent to prison by Liu Xiu, invisibly, it was a great favor to him and solved his urgent need.

Chengdu, Imperial Palace.

Above the court.

Gongsun Shu looked around at the ministers on the left and right, couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said: "Feng Yi is in prison, now, the Sanfu garrison has no leader, it is the best time for our army to send troops to Sanfu, I don't know which general, is willing to lead the troops to the expedition and make immortal achievements?" ”
