Fang Yun and the rest of the Chen family stood on the airship and slowly landed outside the northern gate of the capital. Read the full article:.
They were chatting and laughing as they flew, but when they reached the city gate, they stopped smiling and looked forward.
Outside the northern gate, there was not only the Chen family's carriage, but also more than two hundred bailiffs from the capital. The Ministry of Justice's Right Assistant Minister, Yin Lan, had a cold expression on his face. He quickly walked over and cupped his hands towards Fang Yun and the rest, saying, "Fang Xusheng, sorry for the offense. The Ministry of Justice has just received news that someone saw you kill Ji Zhibai. According to the 'Grand Jing Law', please follow us to the Ministry of Justice's yamen! "
Yin Lan was a Jingguo scholar and a henchman of Mount Liu. He had quite the Literary Name.
At the gate, there were also guards and passersby. These people were staring at Fang Yun in a daze. Many of them wore white cloth belts around their waists, as if they were wearing mourning clothes for Fang Yun. Even now, they still couldn't figure out how Fang Yun was still alive.
What happened next shocked everyone. Fang Yun walked past Yin Lan as if there was no one around. As he walked, he said, "You want to arrest me? Get Mount Liu to come personally. "
Yin Lan, who was completely ignored, felt ashamed. He didn't expect Fang Yun to look down on him so much.
Yin Lan gritted his teeth and followed Fang Yun, saying, "Your Highness Prince Ji, the law is not to be trifled with. Even if you are Prince Ji, my Ministry of Justice will still punish you for killing someone in Jingguo! "
"I killed his most beloved student, but he doesn't dare to come personally to arrest me? He only knows how to sneak around all day. How can I be at ease handing Jingguo over to this kind of person? When I return from my studies at the Notre-Dame, I will definitely clean up the court! "Fang Yun didn't answer the question and walked towards the Chen family's carriage.
"Men, seize Prince Ji!" Yin Lan shouted.
The two hundred yamen runners looked at Fang Yun with conflicted expressions. None of them dared to step forward.
"How dare you! You won't even listen to me? Constable Zhao, this is your duty. Why aren't you coming to arrest him? "Yin Lan glared angrily at a burly middle-aged man dressed in a ninth-rank official's uniform.
Constable Zhao was still in a daze. A moment later, he came to his senses and looked at Yin Lan with an aggrieved expression. Before coming here, you didn't say that you wanted to capture Fang Xusheng alive. Furthermore, we have no control over the King or the Illusionary Divine dream masters. My lord. Please find someone else. "
"How dare you! The capital was under the feet of the Emperor, and there was no distinction between the higher and the lower. As long as there was a guilty person, the capital's yamen could arrest him! Don't you want to be a constable anymore? "Yin Lan looked at Constable Zhao viciously.
Constable Zhao glanced at Fang Yun, who was about to board the carriage, and then looked at Assistant Minister Yin Lan. He clenched his teeth and said, "I don't want to be a constable anymore!" Constable Zhao took off his official's uniform in front of everyone, then threw his token onto his clothes and turned to enter the city.
The dozen or so yamen runners also took off their uniforms and followed Constable Zhao into the distance.
"Just you wait!" Yin Lan was so angry that his nose almost went crooked. As a dignified Hanlin Academy official and the country's assistant minister, how could he endure the anger of a mere child constable?
Not far away, a passerby whispered, "Fang Xusheng is already far away. What are you shouting for?"
Yin Lan turned his head to look. The crowd dispersed in a flurry. Then, they quickly rushed into the city, talking excitedly as they jogged.
"Is that really Fang Xusheng?"
"It can't be wrong. Even the Assistant Minister of Justice said that he is, so he must be."
"But isn't Fang Xusheng considered dead?"
"Xusheng isn't an ordinary person. He can come back to life after death!"
"That's true! I have to tell this news to my mother. Every time my mother talks about Fang Xusheng, she wipes away her tears. Now that Fang Xusheng is alive, she must be happy! "
The crowd walked quickly, laughing happily.
The Chen family's carriage didn't go to the Chen Sheng family's residence. Instead, it stopped outside the Ruolu prison.
The prisons in the capital were divided into four classes. The highest class was the Ruolu prison, which held high officials or scholars with high positions.
The second class was the Shang Lin prison, which held low-level officials or scholars.
The third class was the Capital prison, which held ordinary people.
The fourth class was the Tiger prison. It was specially designed to imprison some extremely vicious criminals.
When Fang Yun was imprisoned last year, he was imprisoned in the worst prison, the Tiger prison. However, because Fang Yun had lived there before, and because there were people who were wrongly accused there, the Tiger prison had been sealed off. Prisoners were no longer allowed to live in such a terrible prison.
Fang Yun had appeared on the light screen above the Jingguo Academy many times. The prison guards at the Ruolu prison's gate recognized him at first glance. Then, they stared at Fang Yun blankly. They were surprised, happy, and suspicious at the same time.
These prison guards only suspected that Fang Yun was dead, but they didn't suspect that he was a swindler. This was because everyone in the capital recognized the Half-saint family's symbol on the carriages. No swindler would be stupid enough to come to Ruolu prison under the banner of the Half-saint family.
"You are …"
"That's me." Fang Yun nodded slightly.
"You … Didn't you pass away?" The leader of the prison guards stuttered. Then, he glanced at the people behind Fang Yun. They were all dressed in scholarly robes. The worst was a Jinshi, and the best was a Grand Scholar.
"That's a misunderstanding." Fang Yun walked to the gate and stopped.
The prison guard asked carefully, "Fang Xusheng, what business do you have in Ruolu prison?"
"Take them away." Fang Yun's face was calm.
The prison guard revealed an expression that said, "I knew it." Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Xusheng, those people tried to assassinate the Minister of the Left. You can't take them away."
"What's wrong with trying to assassinate Mount Liu? Doesn't Mount Liu deserve to die? "Fang Yun asked.
The prison guards were dumbfounded. The Chen family members behind Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the whole world, only Fang Yun could say such a thing. Only he would dare to say such a thing.
Chen Jing looked at Fang Yun enviously and thought to himself, "This is the difference between having confidence and not. Chen Sheng is about to die. The Chen family is afraid that they will be suppressed by more powerful families. Recently, they have been keeping a low profile. Even if they have conflicts with the Minister of the Left, they usually don't go too far. Only when it involves Fang Yun and a few other things will the Chen family be a little more forceful."
"This …" The prison guard was tongue-tied. He was speechless. A strange expression appeared on his face. It was as if he was saying that even if Fang Xusheng's words made sense, he couldn't admit it.
Fang Yundao said, "Bensei, as Xusheng, enter Ruolu prison. Is that okay?"
"But …" The prison guards hurriedly made an inviting gesture. They didn't dare to stop him. At this time, instead of offending Fang Yun and the Minister of the Left, it was better to let him go. They would only offend the Minister of the Left.
Fang Yun led the Chen family members into Ruolu prison.
The front yard of Ruolu prison was different from ordinary prisons. There were fake mountains and flowing water on both sides of the road. It was like a beautiful garden.
Ruolu prison was divided into many courtyards. Each courtyard had 20 rooms of different sizes. Every prisoner lived in their own room. They could move around in the courtyard at any time. They only needed the Warden's permission to leave the courtyard.
"Take me to the place where the righteous people are locked up." Fang Yundao.
"I will lead the way. It is in the A Courtyard."
Fang Yun frowned and said, "I know that the A courtyard is very big, but it can't hold more than 300 people."
The prison guard said with a bitter face, "This is the order of the superior. Even the Warden can't do anything about it. He can only arrange for them to live there."
Fang Yun nodded. His face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything.
Fang Yun had heard of Ruolu prison. The A courtyard was where the nobles and ministers were locked up. At the very least, only people with the Han Academy or the title of Marquis could be locked up there. Even if it was very big, it would be very crowded for 300 people to live there.
