prosperous age

Chapter 476 Chapter 475
"What post? Who came to the door so late, doesn't this disturb people's sleep?"

Wei Guangde muttered, got up and got dressed.

Fortunately, it is not the coldest winter, and the weather is not so cold.

"It's a post from Jin Yiwei Lu Yi."

At this time, Xu Jianglan, who was helping Wei Guangde get dressed, said, "Maybe there is something urgent, that's why it happened."

"Okay, I'll go out and have a look. You need to rest more, go to bed quickly, and tell you not to get up."

Wei Guangde ordered the servant girl to help Xu Jianglan go to bed, and then he left the house and walked to the front yard.

When he arrived at the front guest room, Wei Guangde entered the room and saw that it was really Lu Yi who came. At this time, he was wrapped in a black cloak and a hood was also on his head.

Seeing Wei Guangde enter the door wearing a coat, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the chair, took two steps forward and cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Mr. Wei."

"Don't be too polite with Brother Cheng, we are all from our own family."

Wei Guangde laughed, and then let Lu Yi sit down, and sat aside himself, and then asked: "Brother Cheng and I arrived at the humble house so late, but what happened?"

"Tonight, the prison sent a person in. I just found out the news, so I hurried over here."

Lu Yi replied.

"Who?"

Wei Guangde couldn't help being curious, what does it have to do with the person who was ordered to be imprisoned in the prison, his family members are all in the house, and no one is missing.

"Lan Dao Xing."

Lu Yi replied.

"Why him? Who got it in?"

Wei Guangde's interest was really aroused by Lu Yi at this moment, and he was also suspicious in his heart, why did this blue fairy go to the imperial prison?
Is it a compulsory course for cultivating immortals?

Apart from the parties involved, only a handful of people in the palace knew about the investigation, and even Gao Zhong didn't know about it, so it's no wonder that Wei Guangde had no news at all.

Usually, Prince Yu's Mansion is the first to know about the news that spreads in the palace, but Wei Guangde's mastery of the real secret information is still in the game.

"His Majesty's will."

Lu Yi replied.

"Why? Doesn't His Majesty favor him?"

Wei Guangde was surprised and asked aloud.

However, Lu Yi quickly told him the information about the incident he knew. How did Emperor Jiajing know about it?

do not know.

"Buy eunuchs to spy on the Sacred Heart?"

Wei Guangde couldn't laugh or cry at this answer, many of the eunuchs in the palace had people behind them, so he was the only one.

Speaking of which, it is only his fault that Lan Daoxing was unlucky, and the emperor discovered the clues.

It was originally a trick to play tricks and fool people, but if it was discovered, it would run away?
Folks are liars.

But running into the palace to cheat is deceiving the emperor.

It can only be said that Lan Daoxing was too unlucky.

Before Wei Guangde finished sighing, his heart suddenly moved.

No, Lan Daoxing committed a crime, what letter did Lu Yi come here to report?

Lan Daoxing was not arranged by Prince Yu's Mansion, but had some unclear relationship with Xu Cifu.

Is it
Thinking of this, Wei Guangdehu questioned: "Then what's the meaning of coming to me with Brother Cheng?"

"According to my confidant's report on this matter, someone sent a message to Lan Daoxing. It was Xu Jie who sent him to approach the emperor to kill him. What he did, that is, those divinations, were all told by Xu Jie."

Lu Yi lowered his voice and said to Wei Guangde.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Wei Guangde couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But soon, the beating heartbeat began to slow down, and Wei Guangde also calmed down.

At first, he thought that someone was targeting Yu Wang's mansion, but now it seems that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Xu Jie.

However, just as Lu Yi thought, clearly targeting Xu Jie, of course, this is on the premise that the crime is proven, Xu Jie will definitely fall.

The emperor sent people in, this is the royal case.

But Xu Jie fell, and the most influential one was actually King Yu. After all, if King Yu's mansion wanted to do things in the court, it had to rely on Xu Jie most of the time.

"Where did you send the message?"

Wei Guangde asked after thinking about it.

"It should be from the Yan family. The person who entered was a family of Jinyiwei, but this person has something to do with the Yan family."

Lu Yi replied.

"Are you reliable in the prison?"

Wei Guangde asked again.

Lu Yi nodded, already having a premonition in his heart that they must use their Lu family's power in Jinyiwei.

"Yes, I see. Go back to rest earlier, and I will contact you tomorrow."

Wei Guangde said lightly, "Send a message to the people in the imperial prison, and keep a close eye on them. If torture is used, find a way to delay it for a while."

Wei Guangde figured it out, this matter was not simple, although he didn't know why it was Lan Daoxing, but it was probably because the Yan family found out that he was hooking up with Xu Jie.

Lan Daoxing is definitely going to die, don't think that Yan Song's official position may be lost, but the more they move at this time, the more likely they are to act. To put it bluntly, if they let others take action before they leave, then the Yan family will really never have peace It's day.

We must kill chickens to scare monkeys. As for whether Xu Jie can be dragged off the horse, it is estimated that if there is no date, it will be a shot first.

After Lu Yi left, Wei Guangde didn't rush back to the room to sleep, but sat in the guest room for a while, thinking about the impact of this incident on Prince Yu's Mansion.

Naturally, it's best that this matter can be eliminated invisible. Anyway, the ministers don't have a good impression of these gangsters, and no one cares about Lan Daoxing's life or death.

If Xu Jie is involved, then it won't work, and now Prince Yu's mansion needs Xu Jie to sit in the cabinet.

Although Yan Song saw that the general trend was over, he was still in the position of chief assistant after all. The matter of Wei Guangde's request to Xu Jie had not yet been settled, and he did not know how long Yan Song could last.

In other words, how long is the emperor willing to endure.

The only way to resolve this matter is to make Lan Daoxing shut up.

As long as Lan Daoxing is gone, this matter will be over.

However, it is not up to him to decide whether the Prince Yu's Mansion should take care of Lan Daoxing or whether Xu Jie should find a way to silence him. Let's go to the Prince Yu Mansion tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde yawned, got up and went out to the backyard, already wasted a lot of time.

On the second day, Wei Guangde went to Prince Yu's mansion, first went to the courtyard to wait for Yin Shizhen and others, and then asked the servants to look for Li Fang in the backyard.

At this time, King Yu was probably still sound asleep, so it was not good to wake him up.

I was drinking at Wei Guangde's house last night, so whether it was Yin Shizhen or Zhang Juzheng, they both came late.

That is to say, Li Fang is a servant, and there are King Yu and Yin Shizhen sitting at the banquet, but there is no such thing as a sinister place for him.

Therefore, Li Fang all entered the house, but Yin Shizhen and the others did not come.

"Master Wei, what's wrong with sending someone to call me so early?"

The incident happened suddenly, even though Lan Daoxing was very eye-catching among Jiajing's favored alchemists, he was an outsider after all, and the officials in Beijing didn't pay much attention to him, only those with purpose.

Who doesn't know, these alchemists are the images of worldly masters in front of Emperor Jiajing, so sometimes they have a word, a word of flattery to a certain official, the effect is really great.

However, these alchemists have a great appetite, especially for those who ask for them.

However, if the abbot doesn't arrest him, the Taoist priests of Lan Daoxing Taoist Temple will ask other people to help him sooner or later.

At that time, the news will naturally spread, so although Dongchang's actions are very secretive, they still can't hide it for a few days.

But these few days are the most critical time for this incident.

The Yan family obviously wanted to beat the time lag, and force Lan Daoxing to bite Xu Jie as soon as possible, to prove the crime, and to hand over the confession to Emperor Jiajing, and that would be it.

Although no one else had arrived yet, Wei Guangde didn't want to be fooled, so he told Li Fang about the news from Lu Yi.

Same as Wei Guangde's initial reaction, when he heard that Lan Daoxing was arrested, although he didn't know the reason, Li Fang didn't care.

Whether Prince Yu's Mansion has contact with Lan Daoxing, he knows best in his heart, it can be said that he knows all the external actions of Prince Yu's Mansion like the back of his hand.

My family has nothing to do with Lan Daoxing, so I am naturally not afraid of being arrested and interrogated by Emperor Jiajing.

However, Wei Guangde's next words quickly changed his expression from relaxed to dignified.

Xu Jie's status in the court at this stage is very important to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Qiandi is still Qiandi. King Yu is not a legitimate prince, nor is he a legitimate successor to the emperor. They cannot be loyal to King Yu in name.

Although everyone probably guessed the state of mind of Emperor Jiajing, they didn't dare to ask King Yu to be the prince.

If it is sparse, it is a fool, and it is self-inflicted.

Therefore, the powerful people in the court are very important to Yuwangfu, they can turn some plans of Yuwangfu into reality, otherwise those will always be just plans.

"This Yan family is too ruthless. In order to frame their colleagues, they even used methods like alchemists."

Although Li Fang knew that there might be some connection between Xu Jie and Lan Daoxing, it was not made public after all.

In Prince Yu's Mansion, only a few people knew about it, but Li Fang still said this to Wei Guangde.

"Who said it wasn't."

Wei Guangde also agreed, "But the key point is that people have already entered the Imperial Prison, and it is not easy to get people there. If they are more ruthless, they may have already started using torture to induce confessions. Who can resist the methods in that place?" .”

Wei Guangde hurriedly told Li Fang what he had learned from Lu Yi.

The outside world only said that the Beizhen Fusi prison was terrifying, but few people knew what kind of horror method it was inside, and Wei Guangde just asked about the methods in it.

Well, I also want to compare the past and the present to see if this method of interrogating prisoners keeps pace with the times.

Hearing this, Wei Guangde's face also changed, not only because he felt terrified in his heart, but also because of time.

"No, I'm going to tell King Yu right now. I really can't stand by and watch this matter. At least inform King Yu first, and send news to Elder Xu Ge. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for me to be sent down by the emperor."

Li Fang had already got up, and walked out while talking.

In front of the door, Li Fang stopped again, turned to Wei Guangde and said: "Master Wei, you should come along, I don't know when the prince will wake up, I'm afraid I won't wake up just now, I need you to talk about it."

"But I have to wait"

Wei Guangde was interrupted by Li Fang before he finished speaking: "Let them guard at the gate of the palace. When the adults arrive, call them over."

What's going on in the jail?
who knows.

Is Lan Daoxing tough?

Who knows.

Don't beat him with three whips, the Yan family tells him to do whatever he says, once the confession is recorded, and then he draws a charge, then everything is over.

Because Li Fang knew about those things, if he said that Lan Daoxing had nothing to do with Xu Jie, he could only lie to others.

As long as Lan Daoxing can't bear it, Xu Jie's crime will definitely be confirmed with one move.

Did not run.

Although what he said was framing, but his heart was beating drums. He only hoped that time would come, and Lan Daoxing's bones could be a little bit tougher, so as to give them enough time.

After following Li Fang into the inner mansion, Wei Guangde's eyes were not enough.

In the past, the officials of the royal family did not often come to the back, or if they were called to the back by King Yu, Li Fang would ask people to make some preparations to disperse irrelevant people.

The incident happened suddenly today, Wei Guangde came in and didn't have time to clear the scene, or Li Fang forgot about it, and Yingying Yanyan walked along the way, so seductive.

When did so many women come later, and their looks are so outstanding.

Wei Guangde wondered, there were only a few maids in the front yard, and their looks were average.

In the past, when he came to the back, he only saw a few people serving King Yu, so Wei Guangde always thought that the beauties in Prince Yu's mansion were just like that.

But this time when he came in suddenly, Wei Guangde opened his eyes, saying that the beauty Ruyun seemed very appropriate.

Li Fang didn't pay attention to this at all, maybe she was used to it long ago.

When I arrived outside King Yu's bedroom, I asked a few words with the servant guarding the gate, and found out that King Yu hadn't gotten up yet.

Rubbing his hands together, he turned to Wei Guangde and said, "Master Wei, wait a moment, I'll go in and have a look."

It was time for another stick of incense, and only then did I see the door of the bedroom opened. Li Fang called the maid at the door to come in and serve King Yu to wash and dress.

After waiting for a while, Wei Guangde saw a woman coming out of the bedroom.

This woman was dressed in the same dress as the court ladies, but unlike other court ladies, her hair was hanging down and not coiled up, it was just surrounded by a light gauze, obviously she was the woman who was sleeping with her.

Although he didn't see his face clearly, his waist was slender and his figure was graceful from the back view. Wei Guangde also saw those slender and narrow feet inadvertently.

Wei Guangde shook his head and looked away, but no matter where he looked, there were beautiful court ladies, so in the end Wei Guangde had to face the wall and think about it.

Although the beauty is very good-looking, it also depends on where it is.

At this time, Li Fang also just came out, seeing Wei Guangde's appearance, suddenly realized her mistake, hurriedly waved to the surrounding maids to make them avoid, then she confessed to Wei Guangde, and then invited Wei Guangde into the house.

Pointing to the figure from behind, Wei Guangde asked curiously: "Is that the maid that was rumored outside?"

Li Fang looked along her fingers, just in time to see that figure coming into the corner, nodded and said: "His Royal Highness's new favorite is called Li Caifeng, and she is the maid beside the princess."

Having arrived at the gate of the hall, Li Fang immediately shut up and stretched out her hand to invite Wei Guangde to enter the hall.

In front of King Yu, Wei Guangde repeated what he said to Li Fang earlier.

"This is framing, Li Fang, send someone to send news to Mr. Xu Ge, this matter must not let them do what they want."

Of course, King Yu knew that this matter was no small matter, and immediately made a decision without waiting to discuss it with other officials of the royal family.
