Chapter 593 Prison Visit Shangguan Xiu, who planned to go to court, was interrupted by a young woman's complaint and retreated to the Zhenguo Palace.
He asked his servants to take the young girl and two babies to freshen up first, and after breakfast, he brought the young girl to the hall.
After washing up, the young girl seemed to be a different person.
Her face was as big as a palm and so white that not a single spot could be found.
Her facial features were delicate and comely, not coquettish.
She was elegant and dignified, giving the impression that she was Xiaojiabiyu. , like the little girl next door.
After the young woman walked in from the outside, she knelt down in front of Shangguan Xiu and said with choked sobs: "My little daughter, Yu Qiulan, pays homage to your lord."
"Miss Yu, please get up."
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to signal her to sit down, and then waved to the servants outside the door to serve tea.
While the servants were serving tea to Yu Qiulan, An Rong also made a cup of tea for Shangguan Xiu and brought it to him.
Shangguanxiu took it, smelled it, and said with a smile: "Tea art has improved recently."
An Rong's indifferent little face blushed slightly and she whispered, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Shangguanxiu looked at Yu Qiulan and asked, "Miss Yu, has Sir Yu ever been corrupt or perverted the law?"
"My father has been an honest official all his life and has never taken bribes or violated the law."
Yu Qiulan was shocked and explained urgently.
Shangguan Xiu squinted his eyes and focused on her body, looking from the broken outer lining to the coats inside, and then to the embroidered shoes on her feet.
It can be said that every piece of this outfit on her body is worthless.
Fei, just looking at the fine workmanship, it was obviously made by a famous artist.

If he wants to buy Yu Qiulan, even Yu Zijian's salary for a year may not be enough.
Who can say that he is not corrupt and perverting the law?
Shangguan Xiu said: "Since Miss Yu said that your father did not take bribes and pervert the law, how did the Taichang Mansion convict your father?"
"My father was framed by others."
"Who framed me?"
"This is Song Sheng, Minister of Internal History."
"Oh, Master Song, why did you want to frame your father?"
"Song Sheng has been trying to win over my father, but my father has never accepted Song Sheng's win over.
Song Sheng became angry and framed my father," Yu Qiulan said anxiously.
"This is just Miss Yu's one-sided statement."
Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and looked at her deeply.
He believed that Song Sheng deliberately framed Yu Zijian, but he did not believe that Song Sheng could bribe the Lieutenant's Mansion and collude with the Taichang Mansion.
Hua Ning, the general manager of the Lieutenant's Mansion, is from Shura Hall and cannot be bribed by Song Sheng.
As for Taichang Mansion, it is unlikely.
The rank of Taichang Mansion Minister is not high, only the third rank, but he is directly loyal to the emperor and has no direct connection with officials such as Cai Xiao and Song Sheng.
He has the decision-making power on appointment and removal.
In the hands of the emperor.
He thought for a while and said: "Miss Yu can temporarily live in the Zhenguo Palace.
If your father is really unjust and imprisoned, I will find a way to investigate and give you an explanation.
If your father indeed accepted bribes from others and engaged in malpractice for personal gain." , then there is nothing I can do.”
"Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir."
After hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Yu Qiulan felt relieved, her face was full of surprise, and she kowtowed forward with excitement.
After the servants took Yu Qiulan away, Xiao Jue asked: "Brother Xiu, do you really want to take care of Yu Zijian's case?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Jue, why do you think Song Sheng suddenly attacked Yu Zijian?"
Xiao Jue thought for a moment and said, "I think what Miss Yu said is not impossible.

Song Sheng may really want to win Yu Zijian under his wing."
Shangguan Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, the position of Dean of the Imperial Lingwu Academy is too important.
Whoever occupies this position will have disciples all over the military.
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng know that my roots are in the army.
If you want to shake my foundation, you have to start with the army.”
Xiao Jue took a breath and said in surprise: "Brother Xiu means that this time Song Sheng is obviously targeting Yu Zijian, but in fact, he is targeting Brother Xiu.
It is a plan to draw out the firepower."
Shangguanxiu blinked, chuckled, patted Xiao Jue's shoulder, stood up, raised his head and said, "Let's go to Taichang Mansion."
Taichang Mansion is not far from Lieutenant Mansion.
They are located on the same street, but one is on the street and the other is in the middle of the street.
They are only more than a hundred meters apart.
These two institutions, in modern terms, are the Supreme Court and the Capital Police Bureau.
When Shangguan Xiu arrived at Taichang Mansion, the morning court had not ended yet.
He waited for half an hour before the Taichang Mansion Minister finally returned from the court.
Entering the lobby, he saw Shangguan Xiu sitting upright on a chair, sipping tea slowly.
Qin Baoshan couldn't help but be startled.
Then he walked forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "I don't know if Sir Shangguan is here to visit.
Welcome from afar, forgive me, forgive me."
Qin Baoshan is young, only about thirty years old.
He is tall and burly, with a dignified appearance.
Although he is a civil servant, he looks more like a military general.
He exudes a majestic and mighty air.
His background is not simple.
His mother's name is Tang Leshan, the princess of Wenyue Princess in Feng Kingdom.
In terms of seniority, Tang Ling has to call her aunt.
Qin Baoshan is Tang Ling's cousin.
The Taichang Mansion is a special institution.
It must remain neutral and cannot form cliques with the ministers in the court.
It is also a tradition of the Feng Kingdom that emperors in the past dynasties used relatives of the emperor to serve as ministers of the Taichang Mansion.
Shangguanxiu didn't have much contact with Qin Baoshan before.
Even if he occasionally met him when entering and leaving the palace, he just nodded and said hello, and never had any further conversations.
Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, if there was anyone Qin Baoshan was closer to, it would probably be Han Ye.
Shangguanxiu slowly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin."
"Sir Shangguan did not go to court today."
Qin Baoshan said pointedly.
In the court, Ziyi Ling asked for sick leave on Shangguan Xiu's behalf, but looking at his current energetic appearance, it didn't look like he was sick and did not attend the court.
This was the crime of deceiving the emperor due to occupational diseases.
Qin Baoshan had decided on Shangguan Xiu in his heart.
A crime.
"I just don't want to go."
Shangguan Xiu answered simply and honestly.
He has seen many people who are really willful and proud of you, but he has never seen anyone who is so calm and proud before.
Qin Baoshan smiled calmly, changed the topic, and went straight to the point, saying: "Sir Shangguan suddenly visited Taichang Mansion.
He must have something to do."
"The main reason I came here this time is to learn about the Yu Zijian case."

"Oh" Qin Baoshan asked in confusion: "Does Mr.
Shangguan think there is a problem with this case?"
Shangguanxiu shrugged and said, "I still need to trouble Mr.
Qin to explain a few things."
Qin Baoshan didn't want to waste more words and said straightforwardly: "Yu Zijian accepted huge bribes.
The evidence is conclusive.
Now that he and his wife have confessed, there is nothing more to say about the case."
He has this attitude towards everyone. , even though he is not of high rank, he is a relative of the emperor and will not take anyone else seriously except the emperor.
Shangguanxiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Now Yu Zijian and his wife are being detained in Taichang Mansion."
"Exactly."
"Can I visit the prison?"
"Of course."
Qin Baoshan said with a smile: "Sir Shangguan is the future Duke of the country.
There should be no place that Shangguan cannot go in the Feng Kingdom."
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was too sensitive.
He always felt that Qin Baoshan had a vague sense of hostility and rejection towards him, but in his impression, he had never offended this person before.
He said calmly: "Then I'll ask Master Qin to lead the way."
"Xiaoguan is busy with official duties, please forgive me, Lord Shangguan."
As he spoke, Qin Baoshan turned his head and said, "Master Li."
"I'm here."
Following his call, a middle-aged official stepped forward quickly and saluted.
Qin Baoshan said: "Mr.
Li, Sir Shangguan is going to visit the prison.
Please take Sir Shangguan with you."
"I obey my orders."
This Lord Li's name is Li Zhong.
He is the Shaoqing of Taichang Mansion, a middle-level official of the fourth rank.
Qin Baoshan was unwilling to lead the way and only sent some subordinate officials to lead the way.
Shangguanxiu didn't care much about this.
Qin Baoshan had an eccentric personality and a strange attitude towards others, and Shangguanxiu didn't like to have much contact with him.
In the prison of Taichang Mansion, Shangguan Xiu first saw Yu Zijian.
Yu Zijian was wearing a white prison uniform.
His face and body were stained with blood, especially his buttocks and thighs.
The prison uniform was almost soaked with blood.
He lay on the ground motionless, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.
Shangguan Xiu could tell with just one glance that Yu Zijian had been severely tortured in Taichang Mansion.
Even if he was rescued, the man would be useless.
He looked at it for a moment and asked: "Why don't you treat the prisoner's injuries?"
Li Zhong quickly explained: "Reporting to your lord, according to the rules of Taichang Mansion, prisoners on death row usually do not need medical treatment."
If you cannot survive and die, you will be unlucky.
If you survive and survive, you will not be able to avoid being executed later.
That one stabbing would kill him sooner or later anyway, so there was no way to waste any more medicine.
Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and then at the unconscious Yu Zijian.
Without saying anything more, he asked, "Where is Mrs.
Yu?"

"It's in the cell in front.
Sir Shangguan, please come this way."
Not far forward, he saw a middle-aged woman imprisoned in the cell.
Her injuries were much lighter than those of Zijian, but her hair was disheveled and her face was haggard.
Shangguan Xiu stood in front of the cell fence and said, "Mrs.
Yu."
The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly.
"My name is Shangguan Xiu.
My daughter was outside my house this morning to redress her grievances.
She kept saying that Mrs.
Yu was framed and wrongfully imprisoned.
I came here today to find out what happened.
If Mrs.
Yu is really wronged, now, You can tell it as much as you want.”
When Mrs.
Yu heard what he said, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Shangguan Xiu outside, and cried: "My master has been wronged, and the common woman has been wronged.
Your Excellency is aware of it.
Please be aware of it."
Shangguan Xiu frowned and said, "If Madam Yu has any grievances, just speak up."
