Chapter 62 Sky Prison (for further reading)
Kyoto.
Jingxinzhai.
It has been two days since Lao Xu's grain store was closed down, and Lao Zhang's gloating expression had now turned into gloom.
"Ping An Palace in Dog Day..."
Lao Zhang cursed in a low voice at the bun shop, but how could it be hidden from Liang Sheng's ears, Liang Sheng could only shake his head and smile wryly.
He thought it was just a small turmoil before, but he didn't expect that more and more wealthy households in the north of the city would be implicated, so that the streets became deserted.
That's why Lao Zhang felt depressed. After all, without the flow of people, the business of his steamed stuffed bun shop plummeted.
Liang Sheng was lying on the recliner at this time, holding a book in his hand, but his thoughts gradually drifted away. I am afraid that this turmoil will not subside in a short time.
During this period of time, when he had nothing to do, Liang Sheng would go to the tea house in the next street to drink tea, and then return to the bookstore to read books.
Like such a leisurely life, Liang Sheng doesn't seem to care about the situation in Beijing and China, but he has already understood the general context.
Xiao Rang, the former Zuo servant of the Ministry of Rites, has not been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites for twenty years, so that he has been wasted until now, and can only become an official in old age.
But before he waited for the emperor's memorial to be released, rejecting the request to sue the old man and return to his hometown, the censor at Yushitai sued Xiao Rang, saying that he had accepted bribes and formed a party for personal gain.
There are thirteen crimes in the memorial. At first, it was thought to be a case of verbal disputes, but the development of the matter can be described as extremely fast, which shocked the government and the public.
When Ye Xiao let the whole family be thrown into prison, even Prince Ping'an's mansion personally confines King Ping's side and concubine in the mansion, preventing anyone from visiting.
And these things happened in the blink of an eye, and many people didn't realize it. Faced with this situation, how could those old foxes in Beijing still not understand what was going on?
It can only be said that Ye An, the heir of the Prince of Pingan, has endured for twenty years, until now he showed his butcher knife, killing with one blow, I am afraid that Xiao Rang will never be able to get out of the prison in this life.
As for why King Ping'an was so decisive, I'm afraid he has already made a final decision in his heart. After a hundred years, the title of King Ping'an might fall on Ye An.
Ye An was impeccable and neat in his work, and since then there have been endless tricks, and there was no chance for Xiao to make a comeback.
Lao Xu was the one who brought disaster to Chi Yu. His younger sister was originally a concubine of the Xiao family, and even merchants and merchants like Ye An were punished.
With Liang Sheng's innate cultivation base, no matter how secretive the discussions in the teahouse and wine shop were, he could hear them all, so he knew what was going on better than ordinary officials.
At this time, Lao Zhang hid in the steamed stuffed bun shop and cursed Prince Ping's Mansion, but he just smiled indifferently, guessing in his heart that this matter would come to an end as long as Xiao Rang died of drinking poison.
After all, Xiao Rang is also the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, so of course Ye An will leave this face to the other party. After all, this is the default unspoken rule of the entire bureaucratic system.
It is indeed possible to kill them all just in case, but such officials should not be dragged to the vegetable market like pariahs, cut in two, and the corpses separated.
Liang Sheng didn't think it was strange that Ye An had such an advantage. After all, as long as Xuankong was around, Ye An's position as the heir apparent would be as stable as Mount Tai.
As long as it does not involve rebellion and plotting the country, an innate master is enough to make most people fearful and dare not offend easily.
And if King Pingan wants to hand over the throne of Pingan smoothly at this time, he will naturally take down the concubine side at this time. This will protect her the best and do the best of the relationship between husband and wife.
But things always have accidents. Liang Sheng didn't pay attention to this matter at first, but one day he met an unexpected person in Fengchen Garden.
Pingan Prince Ye An.
Although Ye An put on a disguise, how could Liang Sheng fail to recognize him, but what surprised Liang Sheng the most was the person opposite Ye An.
You must know that Liang Sheng is an innate master, and even he can easily ignore the other party. One can imagine how difficult the other party is.
What surprised Liang Sheng the most was the imprint of the white lotus that the other party accidentally leaked while drinking. This is a person from Wu Sheng.
Ye An, the eldest son of King Ping'an, met with people from the Wusheng Sect. If the news is revealed, it may cause shock waves.
Liang Sheng couldn't help pricking up his ears when he saw this. Although the voices of the two were very soft, how could they hide it from him?
Fengchen Court.
In the box on the second floor.
At this moment, Ye An's expression was very ugly, "You asked me out at this time, do you know how big the risk is? Now many people in Kyoto are focusing on me, what do you want to do?"
But Chen Sheng, the envoy of the Wusheng Sect, didn't care about it. He didn't care about Ye An's ugly expression, and poured him a glass of wine directly.
"Don't worry, my son, haven't you come out safely? I have checked that there is no tail behind you, so the matter is not as serious as you think."
Seeing Chen Sheng's indifferent appearance, Ye An became more and more upset, but he didn't dare to walk away. After all, the other party was holding his hand, so he had to calm down his anger.
Chen Sheng also seemed to feel sorry for himself at this time, so he could only apologize again and again, "Okay, okay, I was too hasty this time, I promise it won't be like this next time.
It's just that this time the matter is really urgent, so I have to take the risk of inviting you over and want you to do me a favor. "
Hearing this, Ye An's expression improved slightly, he drank the wine in one gulp, and said concisely, "What do you want me to do?"
"An elder in our church was accidentally caught by the eagle dog of the six doors when he was performing a secret mission.
Didn't you put Xiao Rang into the dungeon? If you go to the dungeon to humiliate him, you shouldn't attract the attention of others..."
Before finishing speaking, Ye An interrupted, "Impossible, the prison is heavily guarded, how could I bring out the elders of your Wusheng sect?"
Chen Sheng was not angry when he heard this, and remained calm.
"I know it's unrealistic for you to bring someone out, so I just ask you to bring something out of his hand."
"Why do you think there is something hidden in him that can't be found through the six doors? And how could he trust me?"
"You don't need to worry about this, that thing is not a specific object, it may be a sentence.
As for how you can win the trust of the other party, it is also very simple, you just need to tell him that white lotus flowers are blooming by the Daming Lake. "
"By the Daming Lake, white lotus blossoms?"
Ye An repeated it, Chen Sheng nodded, and then the two discussed some details, Ye An didn't want to stay any longer, and prepared to leave.
"Next time, don't ask me out so easily. I don't know how many people in Kyoto are staring at me now. Don't force me to die."
"I see. You and I are on the same boat. How could I harm you? It's just that I have to do this because of an emergency. It will definitely not be the case next time."
Ye An didn't answer when he heard this, but with a gloomy face, he walked out of the box with his head down, and left Fengchen Garden in a short while.
Not long after, Chen Sheng, Wu Shengjiao, also left in a hurry. Liang Sheng couldn't help but raise his mouth when he thought about the situation just now, and then he also left Fengchen Garden and followed.
Pingan Prince's son, Wusheng teaches...
