Lun Mingyi's proposal was approved by most people.

Although the imperial edict is difficult to break into.

But they were all candidates taking part in the imperial examination.

Presumably those imperial guards would not touch them easily.

To show support.

Everyone dug into their pockets and scraped together a little money.

Originally, Song Lijie was not short of this little money.

Just seeing how united everyone was, I asked them to come together.

In total, I collected more than one hundred taels of silver.

He was taken to the imperial prison by Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai.

Lun Mingyi could only send them to the intersection of Fusi Street in Beizhen.

He said a little unhappy: "Why can't I go?"

Song Lijie silently tapped his head with the folding fan in his hand.

"Your uncle is a bachelor of Hanlin, and he has a bright future."

"How can we have anything to do with Beizhen Fusi at this time?"

Although the people from Cailun's family just sent them the news out of righteousness.

But I only mentioned it vaguely, just because I didn’t want Lun Mingyi to be involved too deeply.

Lun Mingyi was a little reluctant.

I can only give up.

A group of people left Dingxihou Mansion and bought some good wine and food on the way.

Everyone carried them and sent Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai to the corner of the street where Fusi was located in Beizhen.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two men took Xu Fang and the other servants, who were holding the things everyone gathered together, and walked towards Beizhen Fusi like warriors.

Because the street where Beizhen Fusi Yamen is located is basically filled with office Yamen.

Usually no one passes by.

Although a group of civil servants were worried that the passing Jin Yiwei would arrest them as some kind of criminals, they could only wait outside in fear.

I was afraid that Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai would also be captured directly after entering.

Then at least they can get the news as soon as possible and discuss how to save people.

...

Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai arrived at the Yamen Gate of Fusi, Beizhen.

When I looked up and saw the words "Beizhen Fusi", I felt a sense of coolness.

Among the followers behind him who was carrying something, there was a younger one who shivered directly.

Xu Fang scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"

"Our master is inside, what is there to be afraid of?"

After being scolded, the man just lowered his head and did not dare to reply.

Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai stepped forward and put on smiling faces.

He said to the guard at the door: "Hello, you two."

"We are the Marquis of Dingxi, fellow townsmen of the number one scholar in Jinke."

"He was arrested and imprisoned today. We came here specifically to visit him."

After finishing speaking, Song Lijie took out his purse from his waist.

"These are some small gifts from our fellow villagers, as well as some good wine and food. Please be accommodating, please."

After saying that, he waited for a reply with some anxiety.

The imperial edict is a prison set by the royal family.

People who have entered imperial prisons are not allowed to visit them, unlike those in prisons of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Song Lijie and Qiu Shubai were both prepared to be chased away.

As a result, the gatekeeper smiled when he heard that he was a classmate of Dingxihou.

"It turns out he is a classmate of Marquis Dingxi."

"Then it's an unlucky time for you two to come."

"What a coincidence?"

Qiu Shubai widened his eyes slightly and asked nervously: "Master Hou, what's wrong with Mr. Hou?"

Could it be that Zhao Ce was beaten to death by torture?

One of the guards continued: "Well, you are here at an unlucky time."

"The Marquis of Dingxi has just been taken into the palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and has just left."

"His Royal Highness sent someone to deliver a message to Dingxihou Mansion. After you return, you will probably see the person who delivered the message."

"ah?"

Qiu Shubai and Qiu Shubai looked at each other.

They had been worried for a long time, but in the end, Zhao Ce had been captured by the prince?

Song Lijie turned back, swallowed his saliva, and asked nervously: "Please, please..."

"Master Hou, is he in good health?"

The gatekeeper was still smiling like a spring breeze.

"Nature is good."

"We, the governor, have admired his talent for a long time. When he came in, he asked us to clean up the imperial prison."

"You don't need to worry."

"oh......"

Although Zhao Ce has been brought out.

But the things they brought were forced on the two guards and asked to take them in and taste them with their colleagues.

The two men couldn't shirk it, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing Zhao Ce's classmates walking away, the two gatekeepers couldn't help but sigh.

"This Marquis of Dingxi is indeed extraordinary."

"When someone goes to jail, everyone else is eager to cut ties with them."

"His fellow villagers are very affectionate and kind. They are not afraid of our Beizhen Fusi. They are sending us things without hesitation."

After the two of them finished speaking, they took the good wine and food in their hands and went in to talk to other colleagues.

While everyone was eating wine and food, they all thought about the scene of Zhao Ce going to prison, and they all felt it was a bit magical.

...

Qiu Shubai and the two returned to the entrance of the alley.

The classmates who were hiding there quickly ran out.

Seeing that everything they were carrying was gone, Lun Mingyi was delighted by Zhu Wen: "Have everything been sent in?"

Qiu Shubai came back to his senses from the news he just learned, and said in a dumbfounded way: "It's considered sent in."

Song Lijie also said in a funny tone: "I don't know if this is a coincidence or not."

Seeing the two of them playing riddles, Lun Mingyi asked anxiously again.

"What happened?"

"Is it possible that torture was really used?"

Song Lijie shook his head.

He paraphrased what the guard just said.

"Just, come out?"

"Or was he personally picked up by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The two nodded affirmatively.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief instantly, feeling that their worries were in vain.

Think about Zhao Ce, a man who has made great achievements many times and is quite favored.
