The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 638 Jiao Dali

Ding Lan'an knew that it would be difficult to marry Meng Shisan, but he would not give up.

After he and Zeng Chongqi caught a group of people who were gathering to cause trouble in the target alley, he and Zeng Chongqi took them to the Jinyiwei prison.

Coming out of the Beizhenfusi where the imperial prison was located, they met the pacification envoy Ding Mao.

"Sir." The two of them bowed in unison.

Ding Mao looked at the gate of the Imperial Prison they had just exited: "Do you have any ideas?"

Zeng Chongqi shook his head: "Not really."

"He's so stubborn that you can't pry him open." Ding Lan'an also replied.

Ding Mao smiled, a smile that was meaningful: "No problem, once the Golden Crow falls today, if they still refuse to speak, then send them all to the Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple?" Zeng Chongqi was surprised. "Your Excellency said that you want to transfer them to the Dali Temple prison?"

As everyone knows, whether it is the prison of the Eastern Depot or the prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, people only go in but never out. Even if someone is lucky enough to get out, he will only have one breath left.

In other words, even if he didn't get out sideways, he would definitely not survive for many days.

He originally thought that he could slowly deal with those bastards, but now, according to Governor Ding, by dusk at the latest, those people will be moved out of the imperial prison and handed over to the Dali Temple.

Why is this?

Zeng Chongqi's question was exactly the same as Ding Lan'an's. Before Zeng Chongqi asked the second question, he heard Ding Lan'an shouting to Ding Mao: "Father, what are you talking about? How can we, the Jinyiwei, hand over the people we arrested to the Dali Temple?"

He asked the question that Zeng Chongqi wanted to ask. Upon hearing this, Zeng Chongqi stared at Ding Mao, waiting for his answer.

Ding Mao glared at his reckless son and snorted coldly, "What are you yelling about! Just do as I tell you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

“Father!” Ding Lan’an shouted and tried to catch up, but Zeng Chongqi grabbed his arm. He turned around and looked at Zeng Chongqi who was stopping him, “Gu Xiu!”

"Don't yell." Zeng Chongqi let go of Ding Lan'an and pointed at the prison gate behind him. "Let's try again."

After he said that, he ignored Ding Lan'an and went back into the imperial prison gate.

Ding Lan'an looked at his father whose back could no longer be seen, and then at his best friend whose figure could no longer be seen. He hesitated for a while, and felt that there was no other way, so he had to follow Zeng Chongqi and enter the imperial prison that had just been released.

However, when the lights were turned on, the two still had no results.

"You said... it's already broken, why don't you say anything?" This was the first time Ding Lan'an encountered such a stubborn thug. He said with a click of his tongue, "Is there some other secret behind this?"

"What's the inside story?" Zeng Chongqi looked like he was thinking about other events. He just gave a casual answer to Ding Lan'an's question.

Ding Lan'an had no idea: "That's just what I said."

Zeng Chongqi came back to his senses, looked at Ding Lan'an and said, "I have been in the Jinyiwei longer than you. Although the Lord is your father, when it comes to understanding the Lord's words and deeds in the officialdom, I can say with certainty that you may not understand your father as well as I do."

"What do you mean?" Ding Lan'an didn't care that Zeng Chongqi said that his understanding of his father was inferior to that of his best friend. However, no matter how close they were, it couldn't cover up the fact that Zeng Chongqi was an outsider.

What he was concerned about was what was the deep meaning behind his father's arrangement for them to capture those people in the target alley.

Zeng Chongqi did not answer, he just walked away.

Ding Lan'an hurriedly followed: "Just tell me what you mean!" Zeng Chongqi asked Ding Lan'an only after they walked out of the Northern Pacification Office: "There is a small wine shop, but the wine inside is not expensive, but it tastes good. Do you want to go with me to try it?"

"No, you haven't answered my question yet." Ding Lan'an was so confused by the mist spread by Ding Mao that he was full of question marks. He was not in the mood to drink any wine.

Zeng Chongqi said without even turning his head: "At this moment, the Lord has already arranged for people to transfer those people out and directly take them to the Dali Temple Prison. If you really don't want to accompany me to drink, then you can go with me to take a look."

"What are you looking at?" Ding Lan'an felt like a real fool at the moment. He didn't understand a word either his father or his good friend said.

"Look at how Luo Siqing receives these people." Zeng Chongqi answered very straightforwardly.

Ding Lan'an was stunned for a moment.

After more than an hour, Ding Lan'an was not the only one who was confused.

All the officials in the Dali Temple, except Luo Youjiang, were stunned when they saw the Jinyiwei escorting fourteen prisoners from the Imperial Prison one after another into the Dali Temple prison.

"This is……"

"rare!"

"I was able to walk out of the Northern Pacification Prison..."

"Hard life!"

Isn't it just a tough life?

The Eastern Depot Prison and the Imperial Guard Prison are both living hells in the world.

They always walked in and came out sideways, and even if they didn't die, they would have been skinned alive. Although these people in front of them were wearing prison uniforms, which were slightly stained with blood and the smell of rust hit their nostrils, they were still able to walk into the Dali Temple prison, which showed how tough these people's lives were.

He could even walk out of the living hell with such vigor!

Luo Youjiang had received a private notice from Ding Mao early this morning, so he had stayed in office until now just to wait for this scene.

The other officials in the yamen were unaware of this and thought it was just a coincidence. It just so happened that their immediate superior had not returned home by this time, thus saving them the trouble of reporting to his superior in the middle of the night.

Only Zhong Bai, Luo Youjiang's follower, knew that Luo Youjiang had deliberately delayed and had not finished the official business on the desk in the office until now.

He was waiting right beside and saw everything clearly.

As the Left Vice-Minister of the Dali Temple, Jiang Dao would of course receive a report on such a major event.

He did not receive any secret notification from Ding Mao in advance like Luo Youjiang did, so he left the office as usual and went home.

It was almost time for the night to fall and he was about to turn off the lights to rest when suddenly, a news like a sky lantern exploding broke into his ears, leaving him stunned for a long moment as he was completely unprepared.

He didn't wake up until his wife pushed him, and he quickly asked his wife to help him change his clothes.

Then he hurried back to the Dali Temple.

When he arrived, all the prisoners were already under the personal supervision of Luo Youjiang, and were being counted like a string of grasshoppers and locked up in the innermost room of the dark prison.

After asking, Jiang Dao rushed to Luo Youjiang's office, because he was told that Luo Youjiang had just instructed him to go to Luo Youjiang's office as soon as he arrived.

He jogged all the way to the veranda where Luo Youjiang's office was located, and Zhong Bai immediately came up to him and said, "Master Jiang."
