Chapter 765: Revisiting the Great Prison

Governor Yuan always has regular meals. Twenty buns a morning were a habit for many years. Before he walked out of the restaurant, no one could come to disturb the third concubine and the Governor's Mansion.

He picked up the nineteenth soup bun, poked a small hole with chopsticks, picked up the straw made of reed tubes from the side, and was about to suck out the greasy fresh soup inside, just at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside, and the general manager of the Governor's Office ran into the restaurant in a panic, and there was no time to report it. This angered Governor Yuan and did not put down the soup bun, turned his head, his eyes full of coldness.

When the supervisor stepped into the restaurant, he knew that he had committed a taboo, but he didn't have time to regret it at this time, so he could only say anxiously: "Master, it's... a big deal..."

Governor Yuan said slowly: "Did you get a big fire or die?"

The manager immediately shook his head, "Everything...is not!"

"What big deal can happen?" Governor Yuan's voice was not hot, but his tone seemed very angry.

"Yes...yes..." The general manager was so angry that he held a letter in his hand and handed it over, "Master, it's someone from Jingli...I'm here..."

Only then did Yuan Chongshang put down the Tang Bao, took the letter, glanced at it, his face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up. He recognized it at this glance. This letter was a memorial written by the emperor, which explained the death of the Divine Yiwei in Taiyuan. The appearance of this memorial showed that the person photographed by the emperor was here.

He finally broke his habit for many years and did not finish the buns. He didn't care that he was just taking casual clothes. He stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the person?"

“It’s in the lobby.”

Yuan Chongshang almost trotted to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a young man in casual clothes standing next to a screen in the Tang Dynasty, carrying his hands on him, watching the picture of a lady on the screen. When he heard footsteps, the young man turned around and saw Yuan Chongshang. Before Yuan Chongshang could speak, he smiled and said with a smile: "Is your honorable person the Governor Yuan?"

Yuan Chongshang had already bowed and said, "I am the governor of Anyi Road, Yuan Chongshang, dare to ask..."

Chu Huan raised one hand and showed a gold medal. Yuan Chongshang saw it and suddenly became solemn. He naturally knew that it was the emperor's imperial gold medal. Those who hold such gold medals usually can only be the imperial envoy sent by the emperor himself, but the gold medals are also divided into two types. If the upper part of the gold medal is half a moon, it means that the imperial envoy is an inspector and has no right to interfere in local government affairs. However, if the gold medal is full moon, then the imperial envoy enjoys the ability to be arbitrary and authoritarian. Not only can it interfere in local government affairs and military affairs, but even has the power to act first and then report.

The gold medal in Chu Huan's hand was the full moon gold medal.

Chu Huan just showed the gold medal and then put it away, saying, "I am Chu Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I'm not to blame the Governor."

Yuan Chongshang immediately said, "Mr. Chu is joking. I am looking forward to Mr. Chu's arrival as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." After looking around, I saw a guy with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek standing beside Chu Huan. There was no one else, so I couldn't help asking: "Sir... Where is the team of wise men? Since Mr. Chu has arrived, why don't he send people to inform me in advance, so I can arrange someone here to greet him."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "You don't have to be polite, I'll come and disturb the Governor. The Governor took me to a place."

Seeing Chu Huan's kind face, Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Lord Chu hasn't used breakfast yet, right? Let's finish breakfast first." He turned around and asked someone to prepare breakfast, but Chu Huan said solemnly: "Governor General, you can't delay it. You can come back and eat breakfast again."

Seeing this, Yuan Chongshang said strangely: "Where is Lord Chu going?"

"The Ministry of Justice Prison!"

"The Ministry of Justice Prison?" Yuan Chongshang was stunned. He really didn't understand why Chu Huan came to Taiyuan Prefecture and had not yet sat in a hot butt. He was in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Justice Prison. However, when he saw Chu Huan's serious expression, he knew that things were unusual. He was a warrior and did not delay doing things. He ordered in a deep voice: "Go and prepare the carriage."

"No need." Chu Huan had already walked out, "I have prepared the carriage, Governor, please!"

Seeing that Chu Huan's feet were like wind, Yuan Chongshang was already moving out quickly, and could only follow him quickly and take a few steps. Suddenly, he thought of something, turned behind the screen, took a sword, held it in his hand, and hurriedly trotted behind Chu Huan.

Sure enough, a carriage was prepared outside the mansion. Yuan Chongshang called seven or eight guards from the Governor's Mansion to follow him and got on the carriage with Chu Huan. Sun Zikong jumped on the carriage, and the head of the carriage was already moving forward.

Inside the carriage, Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang sat opposite each other. Yuan Chongshang looked at the carriage, which was very strange, "Mr. Chu, are you coming from Beijing to ride a carriage? But this carriage...hehe, it's a bit strange."

He didn't say that the carriage had a large carriage, but he felt that since Chu Huan was a high-ranking and powerful man, he came from Beijing by carriage, he had to be a more luxurious carriage. However, the carriage was too old and looked extremely ordinary from the outside, and the interior was extremely low-end. Yuan Chongshang really didn't expect that the imperial envoy would ride such a carriage.

Chu Huan naturally understood what Yuan Chongshang meant and smiled and said, "The Governor misunderstood. When I came from the capital, I came on a horse, but this morning, someone gave me such a carriage."

Yuan Chongshang was a little confused and smiled and said, "It turns out that Lord Chu also has old friends in Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's also an old friend."

The carriage was running wildly, and the carriage was very fast. I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage had stopped. Sun Zikong jumped out of the carriage, opened the door of the carriage, and said, “Master, we’re here!”

Chu Huan jumped out of the carriage first, and saw at a glance that it was the Ministry of Justice's Prison. The carriage was parked outside the wooden fence. At the entrance of the wooden fence, two black-clad jailers were guarding. They were about to order the carriage to leave, but they saw that Governor Yuan Chongshang had jumped out of the carriage. Behind the carriage were seven or eight armored warriors, which were the armor of the guards of the Governor's Mansion. The two jailers dared not be negligent. They all stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Small, please see Governor!"

Yuan Chongshang didn't have to look at it, and Chu Huan walked straight into the wooden fence. Seeing that the gate of the Ministry of Justice's Prison was closed, with a wave of his hand, the two guards were already stepping forward and slapped the door, "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly!"

The door opened quickly. A jailer poked his head out and was about to curse. When he saw the armor, he said something and retreated to his mouth. Yuan Chongshang had already stepped forward and pushed the door open with his hand. He turned to Chu Huan and said, "Mr. Chu, this is the Ministry of Justice's Prison. What are you going to do here?" He said to the jailer again: "Is the prisoner here here? Let him get over here."

The prison guard hurriedly ran to report, but Chu Huan was already in. He was familiar with the way and remembered that the prison cell where he was imprisoned yesterday was in a maze-like prison. Yuan Chongshang was puzzled. He didn't know what the hell was selling in Chu Huan's gourd, but he could only follow Chu Huan's butt and reach the gate of the cell. The gate of the cell was locked. Yuan Chongshang saw two prison soldiers next to him and immediately said, "Open the door quickly."

The two jailers hurriedly said, "The key is in the hands of Prison Yang!"

"I haven't come to him yet!"

"Governor, the young one is here." A voice came from behind. Chu Huan turned around and saw the fat white and fat official Yang jogging over panting. He was too fat. When he ran, the fat flesh on his body was moving up and down. Although it was already winter, a trace of sweat still appeared on his forehead, but the black cat in his arms was gone.

After the Prison Officer Yang came over, he was about to kneel down to worship, but Yuan Chongshang waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, open the door quickly. The imperial envoy is going to go in and inspect."

The prison officer Yang looked at Chu Huan with a look of distortion, and he looked awe-inspiring, bowed and said, "I'll take the key from my waist." He took out the key and went forward to open the door of the cell.

Chu Huan glanced at Prison Yang indifferently, without saying much, quickly walked into the old house, walked down the stone steps for a while, reached the prison road, turned two turns, and there were prison rooms on both sides.

Chu Huan remembered clearly that when he left this prison, there were very few prisoners on both sides of the prison rooms, but at this time he had discovered something strange. Although the cells on both sides were not crowded, there were obviously many more people than when he left. These people were all dressed in a mess and their hair was disheveled. The stinky smell in the prison cells was everywhere.

Chu Huan frowned slightly and walked slowly along the prison path. The roads in the prison were also crisscrossing. However, Chu Huan remembered where he was imprisoned. He came to the cell where he was imprisoned. He thought that the ghost master Hexi Valley, the ghost master of the ghost square, was still here, but the cell was empty and there was no trace of Hexi Valley. He immediately arrived at the cell next door, and the three ghost square men, He Gu, were also gone.

Chu Huan frowned, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned around, stared at the eyes of the prison officer Yang, and asked, "Why are these two prison cells empty?"

The Prison Officer Yang said respectfully: "If you come back to the imperial envoy, our Taiyuan Prefecture has good security, there are not many cases, and there are not many prisoners detained, so... some of the cells are still empty."

"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled faintly, "Guardian Yang, do you know why this imperial envoy came here today?"

Prison Yang looked confused and shook his head, "I don't know. In this prison of the Ministry of Justice, the adults are the first imperial envoy to come to patrol. The young people have the honor to meet Shangguan Zunyan and have three lives!"

"I am an imperial envoy came to Taiyuan Prefecture and went on a private visit. I heard that your Ministry of Justice detained several ghosts and jailed without any questions." Chu Huan stared at the eyes of the prison officer Yang, "but I don't know where those ghosts and gangs were locked up? I am an imperial envoy wants to be tried. What kind of king's law have they violated?"
