After rebirth, Her Royal Highness is a black lotus flower

Chapter 237 You might as well trust me once, I will save you
In the prison, Xie Lin looked at the man wearing a prison uniform with his back facing the prison door, and saw him sitting cross-legged. The prison uniform was not clean but was covered with dirt.

It can be seen that Master Yuan has suffered a lot in the past month.

As if he heard footsteps that were different from ordinary yamen servants, Yuan Chen spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he had accumulated decades of vicissitudes, "Why, can't wait for tomorrow's execution?"

After waiting for the other party to answer, Yuan Chen sneered, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or at the other party, then slowly got up and turned around.

With the help of the faint light of the fire, Xie Lin could clearly see the appearance of this imprisoned Master Yuan. He should be in his thirties, with clear eyes and clear face, and the filth on his face couldn't cover up the upright spirit of the other party.

Xie Lin secretly sighed in his heart: No wonder the people in He County speak up for Master Yuan like this.

Seeing the stranger's face clearly, Yuan Chen frowned, unavoidably a little more vigilant, "Who are you?"

But after thinking about it, I am already a dying person, so what else needs to be vigilant.

Yuan Chen laughed out loud.

This time, Xie Lin heard that he was laughing at himself.

"Master Yuan opened a granary to release grain, why didn't he first submit a document to the inspector of the prefecture, and then transfer the report to the envoy to act on behalf of the court?" Xie Lin went straight to the point and asked his own doubts.

Yuan Chen made a slight gesture, looked Xie Lin up and down, a bright light suddenly flashed across his originally dark eyes, it was the flame of renewed hope, "Are you from the capital?"

Xie Lin nodded hesitantly, but shook his head again, "I'm from the capital, but I can't save you. The one who can really save you hasn't arrived yet."

He himself was also confused. A few days ago, Shen Qianzhao and the others were clearly ahead of him, but looking at the scene in front of him, it was likely that he had already arrived in He County before them.

Did they get caught up in the middle of something?
The rekindled light in Yuan Chen's eyes quickly went out again, "So it's not."

Xie Lin glanced behind him and saw that those people were still drunk, and said in a low voice, "The people in He County say that you are a good official and you shouldn't die. Please tell me the matter so that I can think of ways to help you. you."

Suddenly a person appeared, opened his mouth and said that he wanted to help him, Yuan Chen should not have believed it at all, but it can be seen that the other person looked serious and upright, and he did not seem to be fake, he asked tentatively, "Who is the young master?"

Xie Lin hesitated for a while before saying, "Do you know the Dongji Incident Factory that works for His Majesty?"

Yuan Chen looked at Xie Lin blankly, "Are you from Dongchang?!"

Xie Lin: "Exactly, under Song Huai, Dongchang Changgong Song Yu is my adoptive father."

Yuan Chen's eyes were red, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", "Heaven has eyes."

Xie Lin looked at him with the eyes of the sky and was grateful to the sky. He put his forehead to shame, and urged, "Master Yuan, please tell me the whole story, so that I can find a way to save your life."

"If it's too late, the heavens can't save you!"

Master Yuan got up quickly and explained the whole story.

"After the disaster happened, Xiaguan and several squires in this county have been properly comforting the victims and waiting for the court to rescue them, but they have been waiting for several months, but they have not been able to wait for food relief. I heard that other places have already waited for relief. food and silver for the people.”

"I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to visit Mr. Liu, the governor of Xunzhou. I asked him politely, but was reprimanded by Mr. Liu, saying that the imperial court had never issued any money for disaster relief to Xunzhou. , let the subordinate officials come up with their own ideas."

"The lower official has no choice but to use the only granary in the county to see the people suffer. However, the lower official's petition has always been with Mr. Liu, and the wait is fruitless. How can the lower official see the people suffer again? store food."

"In just a few days, Mr. Sun, the ambassador of Xunzhou's economic strategy and military affairs, came with the edict, and detained the official on the charge of resisting the edict and opening the granary without permission."

Xie Lin frowned, so Master Yuan had indeed committed the crime of resisting the edict and not obeying it.

This Jiedu envoy, Mr. Sun, indeed held the imperial decree bestowed by His Majesty a few years ago, and punished this Mr. Yuan as a crime.

"Hasn't Mr. Sun received your complaint?"

"Master Sun said that he has never seen it before."

Whatever Xie Lin asked, Yuan Chen would answer, almost without any concealment.

Xie Linsi thought about it, and felt that the problem lies in this report, "What did you have with the governor of Xunzhou in the past?"

Yuan Chen was taken aback for a moment, unable to speak for a while.

Seeing Yuan Chen's reaction, Xie Lin had already guessed that it was probably because the inspector of the prefecture deliberately withheld Master Yuan's petition, and did not submit the petition for an edict for a long time, so Master Sun brought the imperial decree to punish Yuan grown ups.

Xie Lin said "tsk tut" twice, "Are you robbing Governor Liu's old friend, or are you going to dig Governor Liu's ancestral grave?"

Otherwise, why is it so hard to get through, causing people to die?
Yuan Chen seemed to be confused, "Why did Song Changwei say that?"

The three words "Song Changwei" made Xie Lin a little dazed, and then remembered that he used Song Huai's name.

Because of the power and influence of Dongchang, the people around here all called him an adult, but in a place farther from the capital, they called him a factory guard.

"This festival made Mr. Sun say that he didn't see the report. Either Mr. Sun had a grudge against you. After seeing the report, he pretended not to see it and put you to death. Do you have any old enmity with Mr. Sun?"

Lord Yuan shook his head, "I heard that Lord Sun is a clean official, and even more upright. The lower officials and Lord Sun have never met before, let alone have any old enemies."

Xie Linyi clapped his hands, "Then it can only be Inspector Liu, he must have withheld your petition and played tricks on you!"

Yuan Chen was silent, as if trying to clear his mind.

Xie Lin looked at his elm head that hadn't turned around, maybe he would be beheaded in the end and become a ghost, so he didn't know who to turn to for revenge.

Xie Lin asked curiously, "What personal enmity do you have with Governor Liu?"

Yuan Chen shook his head, "It's not really a personal enmity. My father was once the governor of Xunzhou, and Mr. Liu was my father's favorite student before his death."

"Xiaguan has had several quarrels with Mr. Liu because of the cause of my father's death."

Xie Lin suddenly realized, "You suspect that your father's death has something to do with him?"

Yuan Chen remained silent.

Xie Lin understood it all at once. He stretched out his hand through the gap in the prison door, and patted Yuan Chen's shoulder heavily, "I understand, don't panic, this lock looks old, I will cut it with a sword, and it will be locked." I can save you."

Saying that, Xie Lin drew his sword and wanted to cut it off, but was stopped by Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen looked serious, "No, if I leave this cell, you will commit the crime of robbing the prison, and I will also become a fugitive. These guards will be punished. How can I hurt innocent people."

Xie Lin: "If you don't escape, you will be taken to the execution ground tomorrow, and you will only die!"

Yuan Chen was silent for a while, "I have never done anything wrong in my life, if this is inevitable, it will probably be my fate."
