An hour later, Wushuang pushed Jiang Jin's wheelchair slowly out of the cell.
Xie Linzhi and Song Yang were still looking amazed and regretful at this moment.
On the other hand, Prince Jin looked calm and composed. He had seen these things so many times that it was not surprising to him.
"Your Majesty, could you please come with me to the Huitong Pavilion to rest?"
Xie Linzhi and Song Yang followed Jiang Jin and his servants for a while before they suppressed the mixed feelings in their hearts.
He was quite shocked today. He was shocked by the prince's grace and by An Yi's story.
This is the so-called Huitongguan, which is usually the place where each county receives Yudu officials or other high-ranking officials.
"No, let's go see grandpa!"
Jiang Jin waved his hand, looked at the sky outside the yard which was gradually getting dark, and then said to Xie Linzhi.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xie Linzhi nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and continued:
"Lord Xu works at Wutong Academy, so for convenience, his family lives not far from Wutong Academy. It might take half an hour to get there from the county government office.
This humble official is preparing a horse for His Majesty and escorting him there, right?"
"Well! Thank you for your trouble, sir!"
Jiang Jin nodded when he heard this. He still needed to sit in a wheelchair, so it would be more convenient to prepare a carriage.
"Your Highness, I am sorry to trouble you. This is my honor."
Upon hearing this, Xie Linzhi quickly ordered Song Yang beside him to prepare the carriage, while speaking modestly.
He didn't dare to accept the word "trouble" from Prince Jin. Prince Jin had only revealed the tip of the iceberg today, but it still made him tremble with fear.
After serving as an official for many years, no matter what you do, who can do it cleanly?
He is afraid!
"Ok!"
Jiang Jin could see Xie Linzhi's nervousness and uneasiness, but he did not explain. The people below feared him and respected him, and there was nothing wrong with that for him!
The few of them chatted for a while, with Xie Linzhi speaking mainly and Jiang Jin responding indifferently. The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
Finally, after about a quarter of an hour, Song Yang came back.
"My Lord, the carriage is ready!"
Song Yang bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then told them that they could set off.
Xie Linzhi heaved a sigh of relief immediately. At least Song Yang was back. No matter what he said, Song Yang would compliment him. Chatting with the prince was really annoying!
Although Prince Jin didn't do anything to him, he was still panicked!
"Then, Your Majesty, please come this way."
"Well! Let's go!"
"Thank you for staying, sir. I can go by myself."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin gestured to Wushuang to push the wheelchair out. After walking for a while, he saw that Xie Linzhi had no intention of stopping, so he continued.
"Then I'm sorry I won't see you off. Farewell, Your Highness!"
Xie Linzhi stopped walking upon hearing this, his heart filled with a mixture of joy and sadness as he thought, "Great!" He bowed respectfully and sent Jiang Jin off.
Seeing that Prince Jin had safely boarded the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, you seem very afraid of the prince?"
Seeing this, Song Yang stood beside him, watched the carriage disappear into the night, and asked Xie Linzhi.
"Hey! Today, Prince Jin showed off his power in front of me, not too much, how could I not be afraid?"
After hearing what Song Yang said, Xie Linzhi glanced at the night sky and the prison cell, and said without hesitation that he was indeed scared.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so cautious. The prince may not have thought so much today. He may just be thinking about intervening in this case.
Besides, this case involves the powerful officials in the court, so it is understandable that Prince Jin would pay attention to it. It is definitely not targeting you or us."
Song Yang offered words of comfort, and then indirectly told his own county magistrate that the prince's time was precious, and he probably didn't have the time to criticize their small seventh-rank county magistrate!
I have to say, Song Yang is really nice!
"Hey! It seems to be true."
After listening to the explanations from his family members, Xie Linzhi seemed to agree that this was the truth. The dignified Prince Jin was busy with all kinds of affairs every day. How could he have so much free time to investigate him and scare him?
"Qian is so insightful, his future is limitless!"
Then Xie Linzhi looked at the twenty-year-old young man next to him, patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
When he thought of his old son, that troublesome boy, he got angry.
How can the gap between people be so big?
If Xie Lin is interested in modern times and loves reading, he will understand that a famous contemporary writer once said: We live in a huge gap!
"Your Excellency is too kind. It is because of your kindness that I am in a lower position. Otherwise, I would not be able to enjoy Qi'an today."
Qi'an is Song Yang's pen name, which means praying for clear skies and rain, and a lifetime of peace.
Song Yang was right. He was so young and yet he was able to sit in this position despite everyone's opposition. In addition to his own abilities, it was also because of Xie Linzhi's appreciation.
"Don't talk about these things. Just serve the people well in the future."
Xie Linzhi waved his hand and instructed Song Yang that even though he had some small thoughts, he was essentially an official who was dedicated to serving the people.
……

In the cell.
At this moment, Gu Zhongan seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he collapsed against the cold wall of the cell where he was imprisoned.
He thought back to the story he had heard before and felt ridiculous!
He didn't want to believe it, but he had to.
“Hahahaha…hahahahahahaha…”
As he was thinking, he suddenly laughed, and as he laughed, tears came out.
An Yi said that there was a boy's father and mother who had been in love since the boy was born. The woman was beautiful and the man was a scholar with a simple appearance and good temper.
But the good times did not last long. The scholar suddenly fell seriously ill, and because his family was poor, he had no money to treat his illness.
The woman brought the boy to Yuncheng to visit her childhood sweetheart, a fellow villager and brother, hoping to borrow a few taels of silver to buy medicine for her husband's treatment.
Who would have thought that the brother from the same hometown had secretly loved her since childhood. When he saw the boy's mother again after many years, he found it difficult to let go, so he used means and money to tell the girl that if she could stay with him for the rest of her life, he would save his husband.
The woman was in tears, her heart full of confusion. She loved her husband and the child she had with him.
The woman was locked up, and the county magistrate told the boy that his mother was missing and he was sending people out to look for her.
However, at this time the county magistrate's ugly face was revealed.
That day he sent someone to the woman's home to kill her husband. Because he was happy, he drank a lot of wine. The county magistrate took advantage of his drunkenness, went to the place where the woman was imprisoned, and forcibly took her.
The woman woke up the next day and, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself.
The county magistrate was angry at the woman for being so heartless and ungrateful that she abandoned him. In order to take revenge on the woman, he told her son, the little boy, that the woman no longer wanted him and had abandoned him to elope with her lover.
As for the boy’s father, he died of illness due to anger after knowing this.
The boy couldn't stand the stimulation and went out to look for his mother. In the end, he was kidnapped by a man with a fat face who wanted to sell him for money.
He was not given food or water and was secretly taken out of Yuncheng. Finally, one day, he ran away when the man was not paying attention.
As a result, he was discovered by the man, caught and almost beaten to death. At this time, the county magistrate brought people to rescue the boy and finally adopted the boy as his adopted son.
From then on, the boy admired him immensely and regarded him as his own father...
The story had not yet completely crushed Gu Zhongan, but An Yi's next words almost drove him crazy.
Although An Yi spoke in a straightforward manner, who knew the bitterness and turmoil in his heart?
