[One hundred and forty-four] sneak into the prison

Jiang Chengyi held his breath, quickly pinched his throat, adjusted his tone, imitated Su Yun's voice, and said to the people outside the house: "Don't worry, Eunuch Liang, if you have a subordinate here, you will definitely take good care of Jiang Zhushi."

"Since that's the case... I'll bother Su Lingcheng." Liang Yue answered respectfully outside, without noticed any abnormalities in the house.

Jiang Chengyi held his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside. The footsteps in the corridor gradually drifted away and slowly calmed down. Wuying Palace calmed down again. The imperial guards outside the house returned to their positions and guarded the room again. Jiang Chengyi held his mind and hid in the inner room, leaning closely along the wall, opening the note written in brocade and silk that was held in the palm of his hand. He saw a line of correct official characters written on the wrinkled silk satin: "Liu Jing's wife was intercepted in Yuxi. The moon was halfway through the moon, and everything went well. The palace prison was imprisoned, and he met Liu Jing, informed him of this, or reverse the situation."

The handwriting is strong and powerful, with clear edges and corners. At first glance, it is written by Fang Si. The ink on the brocade is a little gray, which looks like it was written a few days ago. Jiang Chengyi raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled unconsciously. His little sister, Aluo, is worthy of being a person who has been in Nanyundu for many years. She is as careful as her hair, and has already made sufficient preparations. At this moment, Liu Jing's wife has been escorted to Beijing by Shuige. Under Jiang Chengjia's protection, she will be safe and sound.

Jiang Chengyi stroked the brocade in his hand, and his expression that had been tightly fixed finally calmed down a lot.

However, he escaped from the Wuying Hall by the people he planted by Chang Yu outside the house and sneaked into the prison in the palace to meet Liu Jing easily, but he may not be able to persuade him. He had no token in his hands that could prove that Liu Jing's wife was in the capital and protected by the Water Pavilion. Just by saying this, Liu Jing might think he was a madman.

Jiang Chengyi studied this matter carefully and was planning how to act.

He lowered his head and looked at the characters on the silk satin repeatedly. At first, he didn't find anything strange, but when he touched the silk satin fabric with his fingertips, he felt even more strange. There seemed to be a raised area behind the silk, and there was a layer of traces of sewn with thin threads around it. Jiang Chengyi picked up the silk and placed it under the lamp to look carefully, and then noticed something strange. The silk satin seemed to be more than one layer.

Jiang Chengyi gently pulled the small traces sewn around the silk satin and then took out a hole. He paused and continued to remove the thin slits. Before he could check what was inside, he noticed something had fallen.

It was a copper fish talisman, and it fell out with another piece of paper. Jiang Chengyi's eyes were fixed. When he opened the note, he saw Alu's small calligraphy with flowers on his hand, and only the four words "Liu's wife's close body" were written in the four words "Liu's wife's personal belongings".

Jiang Chengyi couldn't help laughing, shook her head repeatedly, and sighed. In this world, only Aluo can do anything without worries. With her by his side, he almost doesn't have to worry about those trivial matters. Aluo will do it for him one by one.

He pinched the copper fish talisman, hid it in his palm, and looked out the window. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he stood up and moved forward, threw the paper and silk satin in his hand into the charcoal basin, allowing the flames to swallow it.

Jiang Chengyi waited patiently in the house for a while until the sky turned completely dark before he started to move. He kicked his feet, flew up the beams, climbed the crossbar, and quietly went up the tiles. He carefully moved the tiles away, tiptoed, and flipped out from the push-out mouth.

He ran forward along the ridge, grabbed the eaves, turned around, jumped down, and flew to the wooden beams of the corridor outside the south wing, hanging on the horizontal structure, to investigate the situation of the corridor. After some viewing, Jiang Chengyi found that there were no eunuchs guarding the corridor outside the south wing, and no imperial guards patrolling back and forth, and even Liang Yue was not here.

Jiang Chengyi frowned and stared at the empty corridor for some thought. Then he turned his head and looked at the steps. He saw a smaller maid breaking into his eyes, as if he knew he was here. He looked up and looked in his direction, and even smiled brightly at him.

Jiang Chengyi was startled at first, and his heart suddenly jumped a few times, and then he gradually saw the appearance of the maid. Then he realized that it was Mu Yun.

So he immediately understood that the reason why there was no one guarding the corridor was the arrangement of Mu Yun and Chang Yu. The uneasiness that surged into Jiang Chengyi slowly dissipated. He nodded slightly at Mu Yun, then turned down from the beam, stared at Mu Yun for a few deep glances, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Along the way, almost no one hindered his footsteps, and he left Wuying Palace very smoothly.

Jiang Chengyi was very familiar with the way to the Nangong prison to the inner prison. In addition, Chang Yu was secretly helping him avoided many patrols of the imperial guards along the way, helping him quickly to the gate of the inner prison.

Just as he was thinking about how to sneak in, a commotion broke out on the steps in front of the palace.

Cui Qian suddenly appeared in front of the heavily guarded jail and said to the guards: "Your Majesty has an order to order our family to go to the prison to patrol the suspects and ask for important matters. You retreat outside the corridor and do not get close."

The leader of the imperial guard who was guarding the palace prison asked hesitantly: "Mr. Cui... I'm afraid this is not appropriate? My subordinates and others have been ordered by General Yue and will be here tonight... they must not leave a step."

Cui Qian looked up and gave him a fierce look. Then he took the whisk in his hand and shook it hard on the head of the imperial guard leader, and said angrily: "Your Majesty's order, how dare you question General Yue! Who are you loyal to? If Yue Luo has any dissatisfaction, ask him to come and find our family!"

The leader of the Imperial Guard only felt a burning pain in front of his forehead, and he didn't dare to stop him. He nodded and bowed: "I am loyal to Your Majesty... Since General Cui has been ordered by Your Majesty, he will retreat outside the corridor and wait."

Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards guarded around the prison in the palace and prison formed four teams under the greeting of the leader and quickly ran towards the corridor traveling outside. The surroundings were empty all the time.

Jiang Chengyi was a little shocked and hid in the bushes to observe the situation. Then he saw Cui Qian look around and make sure there is no one around. After sneaking into the steps, he quietly slipped under the steps and shouted in a tight voice: "Master Jiang!Master Jiang?"

Jiang Chengyi was confused and surprised. He covered his whole body in the dark, motionless, and continued to see what was going on in front of him.

I heard Cui Qian keep shouting in a low voice: "Master Jiang... can you come out?"

Jiang Chengyi frowned and looked around with great vigilance, fearing that there would be some traps waiting for him. But he searched patiently for a while, but he could not see any movement around him.

Seeing Cui Qian's face getting more and more panicked, and even stomped his feet in a hurry, Jiang Chengyi hesitated and stood out from the woods.

He hid in the corner and called out to Cui Qian in a low voice: "Mr. Cui...I'm here."

Cui Qian picked up his ear and listened carefully before he noticed the small call. He immediately turned his head and looked over at the source of the sound. When he saw Jiang Chengyi hiding in the corner, he ran over happily as if he had found a relative, and was extremely excited, but he had to suppress his voice: "My Lord Si! You finally appeared! The old slave is almost anxious... Hurry up! Change the clothes that the old slave wore and go to prison with him? After another stick of incense, General Yue should come over to monitor the prison in person. He is not a fool."

When Cui Qian discovered him, he hurriedly took off the dark robe he wore outside, took off the clothes he wore inside, and handed them to Jiang Chengyi.

Jiang Chengyi looked at him for a long time with inexplicable expression, and asked, "Mr. Cui... Why do you know that I am here?"

Cui Qian smiled gently at him and said, "Someone in the palace sent me a message to Lao Nu and asked Lao Nu to help you. Lao Nu naturally has no choice but to do so."

Jiang Chengyi had a deep look and stared at him and said, "The General Manager should know that if the actions you are not exposed tonight will be a crime of extreme punishment. You have been with Your Majesty for many years and have been an elderly man in the palace. You live a wealthy and abundant life... Why do you have to take this risk together?"

Cui Qian said, "Mr. Jiang, I know why you risked your life to enter the palace? I also know your loyalty to Your Majesty. Since it is a favorable thing for the country and the king, I will naturally have to help you... Don't worry, only the old slave has been here in the palace and prison tonight, and no one will know your whereabouts."

In the darkness, Jiang Chengyi met Cui Qian's firm eyes, stared silently for a moment, and decided to believe him: "I have written down the kindness of General Manager Cui in my heart, and I will repay you in the future."

Cui Qian bent his mouth and shook his head gently and said, "Mr. Jiang... Everything I did tonight is for the Lord and for the Great Wei. You don't have to remember your kindness."

Immediately, he pulled Jiang Chengyi and urged: "Sir, don't say much. Please change your clothes quickly and go to the inner prison with the old slave!"

Jiang Chengyi nodded immediately, hid in the corner with the clothes in his hand with the remaining warm clothes, and quickly changed it. Then he went to the palace and prison with Cui Qian.

He bent over slightly, followed Cui Qian, carefully inspected the situation in the prison, and walked forward.

Soon, Cui Qian took him to the cell where Liu Jing was.

"Please hurry up, be sure to settle the matter in a cup of tea. I will go ahead and guard you." Cui Qian hurriedly explained a few words, then turned around and headed towards the other side of the corridor.

Liu Jing's cell is in the innermost part of the palace and prison, several meters away from other suspects and the repetitioners. The surrounding area is quiet, dark and deep, with only faint blue lights burning on both sides of the corridor, adding a hint of warmth.

Jiang Chengyi looked into the dark prison and called out softly: "Liu Jing?"

There was no movement in the dark room. Jiang Chengyi got closer, carefully distinguishing from the darkness, looking for Liu Jing's figure.

"Liu Qianfeng." He called out again.
