Zhao Heng smiled and said to Lu Wanzhi: "Zhizhi, I want to hear you admit that you like me."

Lu Wanzhi said unhappily: "Don't think about me before you get into the exam..."

Before Lu Wanzhi finished speaking, he heard the voices of officers and soldiers from outside. Lu Wanzhi opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment led a group of officers and soldiers to surround the carriage.

The coachman stopped the horse, Lu Wanzhi looked at the scene outside the carriage, her heart tightened, she got off the carriage and saluted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment: "See Mr. Shangshu, I wonder why Mr. Shangshu stopped the carriage?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Miss Lu, some students have reported in front of His Majesty that Xie Jin, a student of Qinglan Academy, is a woman.

You forged your household registration for Xie Jin as a man, and let Xie Jin take the autumn exam, which is a serious crime of deceiving the king. I hope that Miss Lu will go with me. "

Zhao Heng heard this and said nervously: "Which student reported it? Wan Zhi didn't know that Xie Jin was born as a daughter..."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments cupped his hands and said to Zhao Heng: "Prince Xiaojun, Mrs. Marquis Wu An can testify that everyone in the Lu family knows that Xie Jin belongs to the girl's family, so please invite Miss Lu to follow me to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Heng frowned and said: "Even if Xie Jin is a daughter, so what? Why did you deceive Jun Wang?"

"Xiaojun Wang, women are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and Miss Lu also helped Xie Jin to make a fake household registration. This is a felony among felonies!"

Lu Wanzhi suddenly remembered the catastrophe mentioned in the fortune-telling two months ago, she had been carefully avoiding it, never thought it would be such a disaster.

If I knew this earlier, I would have married Lu Ningran far away.

Lu Wanzhi said to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "Master Shangshu, this incident was done by me alone, and has nothing to do with the Lu family. Although my parents knew that Xie Jin was a daughter, they never let Xie Jin take part in the imperial examination. The fake household registration is also my fault." What one person does, has nothing to do with others!"

Seeing Lu Wanzhi admit it, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs said: "Since Miss Lu is willing to admit it, it's fine, let me go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice with me."

Zhao Heng said repeatedly: "I set up Xie Jin's fake household registration, and it has nothing to do with Lu Wanzhi. I want to arrest the king of this county!"

Lu Wanzhi whispered in Zhao Heng's ear: "You don't have to take the blame for me, you help me take good care of my family, since you have called parents, I just hope that you can honor them for me in the future."

Zhao Heng said anxiously: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to the palace to ask Uncle Huang, it's not a big deal, Uncle Huang will definitely not punish you severely."

Lu Wanzhi said to Zhao Heng: "This matter can be big or small, I'm not afraid or anxious.

Do you remember the last time we had a fortune teller, the fortune teller said I had a life-threatening disaster?

Didn't the fortune teller tell me that I can get through it safely?So don't be afraid, don't worry. "

Lu Wanzhi was shackled by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and she frowned slightly.

Seeing the shackles, Zhao Heng said to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment angrily, "Lu Wanzhi didn't intend to resist arrest, what kind of shackles are you wearing?"

After all, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was afraid of this little overlord of Chang'an, so he released the shackles from Lu Wanzhi's body.

In the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Zhao Heng said critically: "Why is the prison here so dark and damp? Why are there rats here? Can people live here?"

Zhizhi is most afraid of rats, and there are so many rats here.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments said: "Young Prince, this is already the best cell."

Zhao Heng said: "Magnolia Yuzhu, you clean up this place, Chang Sheng, you go to the palace and move all the nanmu beds and pear wood tables here, the space here is too small, bring more candles... "

Hearing Zhao Heng's arrangement, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment asked, "Little Duke, is this against the rules?"

"Why is it against the rules?" Zhao Heng said, "It's because your prison is too broken."

Zhao Heng stayed for a while and then said to Lu Wanzhi: "No, no, the smell is so bad, stuffy and damp here, I'm afraid I'll get sick if I stay for a while, I'd better go to the palace to find Uncle Huang.

Yulan, Yuzhu, you two take good care of Wanzhi. "

Yulan Yuzhu responded one after another.

After Zhao Heng left, Lu Wanzhi sat down on the wooden bed in the prison. This place was really the most dilapidated place she had ever been to in the past 20 years of her life.

Yuzhu looked at Lu Wanzhi worriedly and said, "Girl, can you really get through this disaster?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at the railing in front of her and said, "I don't know either."

If you say you are not afraid, it must be a lie, this time it is about deceiving the emperor, no matter how much His Majesty indulges Zhao Heng, this matter is of great importance, Zhao Heng may not be able to make himself innocent.

Now Lu Wanzhi just begs not to implicate the people of the Lu family.

"walk into!"

Xie Jin was thrown into the prison next to Lu Wanzhi.

Lu Yunxuan also came along with Xie Jin, and Lu Yunxuan gave the money that the prison guards had arranged, and said to Xie Jin: "Xie Jin, I have wronged you to stay in the prison these few days, I will find a way to get you out. Go find your sister."

"Xuanxuan."

Lu Wanzhi called Lu Yunxuan outside the cell.

Lu Yunxuan saw Lu Wanzhi who had been imprisoned, and said worriedly: "Sister, why are you also imprisoned? What's going on here?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Lu Ningran revealed that Xie Jin's daughter took part in the imperial examination."

Lu Yunxuan said angrily: "Why did the fourth sister do this? Our Lu family can be considered worthy of her. She almost hurt you before, and we let her be Mrs. Hou. I will go find her..."

"Xuanxuan, she is Madam Hou after all, don't be reckless."

Lu Wanzhi said to Lu Yunxuan, "Take good care of your mother, don't let my mother get anxious because I'm in prison, and help me talk to my father and brother, let them kill their relatives in the court, and don't implicate the Lu family because of me With Tsinglan Academy, just put the responsibility on me alone."

Lu Yunxuan said with red eyes: "I don't, we are a family, we share our difficulties."

Lu Wanzhi said to Lu Yunxuan: "Xuanxuan is good, you go back and take care of your mother first."

……

After Zhao Heng entered the palace, he went to the Zichen Hall to look for Emperor Jing Yuan.

Seeing Zhao Heng coming in a hurry, Emperor Jing Yuan asked: "Yesterday I heard that you were ill, and I was planning to go and see you if I have time in the afternoon. Since you are here, let's have a meal together!"

Zhao Heng said repeatedly: "Uncle Huang, why did you ask that old man from the Ministry of Punishment to arrest Lu Wanzhi?"

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "I heard from the crown prince that you and Lu Wanzhi have broken off your relationship, haven't you?"

Zhao Heng said: "Who said it was over? Uncle Huang, Zhizhi has been a wealthy young lady since she was a child, and there is no place for her to stay in that prison. Get her released quickly."

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed and said, "Heng'er, this time I can't follow your wishes and let Lu Wanzhi go."

Zhao Heng said, "Lu Wanzhi didn't do anything bad, although Xie Jin was pretending to be a boy in the exam, but her grades are really good.

Uncle Huang, please, let Lu Wanzhi out! "

"Heng'er, Lu Wanzhi asked Xie Jin to pretend to be a man in the scientific examination, and forged the Chang'an household registration. Everything is a felony of deceiving the emperor and should not be lightly forgiven."

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed and said, "I can't disregard Dasheng's law, even if you ask the Queen Mother, it's useless."

Zhao Heng knelt in front of Emperor Jing Yuan and said, "Uncle Huang, if you don't promise me to let Lu Wanzhi go, I won't be able to kneel here forever."
