73, bragging and bragging

Tang Quan was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he forced a smile and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter."

——An expected answer.

Chen Lang stood up and said calmly: "Then I'll bother Lord Tang and report the little request just now to Emperor Xu. My participation in the investigation of the case is not about joining in the fun, nor is it about the fact that there is no silver here."

Tang Quan also stood up: "Your Highness wants to help, and want to prove that he has no connection with the assassin. Tang deeply admires it. But last night, Emperor Xu ordered the arrest of other personnel in the prince's residence, and later made adjustments because of His Highness's opposition. Now Emperor Xu ordered His Highness to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and His Highness..."

Speaking of this, Tang Quan deliberately did not continue to finish his words. Chen Lang understood it carefully. Wasn’t it just a matter of negotiating conditions? Last night’s condition was to ask me to write a book, and I would like to think about another condition today.

Chen Lang thought for a while, then patted his chest and said:

"After entering this smelly prison, I thought that the first person to come to me would be Xu Huang, but I didn't expect that you would be you. Since I couldn't tell Xu Huang personally what he said, I would like to convey it to you. I swear that I will never run away when I go out to investigate the case, and I promise to find out the truth."

"Please make sure that the case will be found out?" Tang Quan repeated Chen Lang's last sentence.

"Mr. Tang heard it right. What I just said was two words of guarantee. If there were half of the false words, he would be willing to accept the punishment." Chen Lang stammered his neck.

He knew that he was bragging at the moment, and that he might have bragged too much. But he had already let go and could not take it back now, so he could only continue to brag.

This is also a distinctive feature of the middle-aged teenager.

"Your Highness, please wait for my news." Tang Quan bowed slightly and bowed with his hands, leaving Chen Lang's cage.

...

Today's weather is gloomy, and heavy dark clouds are shrouded in the sky above Huaining City. The dark clouds slowly drift with the wind, forming a strange picture, as if they are footnotes to what just happened in Huaining City.

Emperor Xu's spirit was tense all night, and he was still lying on the dragon bed toss and turns until morning. He finally fell asleep in a daze, but suddenly Eunuch Jia walked to the door and called out: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

He grasped his voice properly, and the half-sleeping Emperor Xu could hear it, but he did not notice any fright.

What to do?

Didn’t I say it clearly before going to bed, unless I found an assassin who assassined me, or if there was something important to the prince of Liang, otherwise, shouldn’t I wake me up?

Xu Huang rubbed his sleepy eyes and shouted in a strong tone of impatient voice: "What's the noise!"

Plop ~

When Eunuch Jia heard this, he knelt down on the ground and cried: "The Central City Order Tang Quan has something to do to report, about the Prince of Liang."

Bah, it’s the little bastard from Liang Kingdom again!

A burst of anger arose in Xu Huang's heart.

Rubbing his chest gently, Xu Huang quickly returned to his calm appearance. He rolled down from the bed, stretched his waist, and yawned: "Call Tang Quan in."

Eunuch Jia hurriedly bent over to guide Tang Quan. Tang Quan was busy for most of the night and was already exhausted at this moment, but when facing Emperor Xu, he could not say he was tired. After a moment of brewing, Tang Quan passed on Chen Lang's meaning to Emperor Xu.

"Rareless!" Emperor Xu slapped the edge of the bed suddenly, "What does Prince Liang regard the Heavenly Prison as? Do you treat it as a hotel where you can come and go whenever you want?"

"He promised not to escape when he went out to investigate the case." Tang Quan helped Chen Lang speak.

"Hmph, even if the Prince of Liang wants to escape, where can he escape?" Xu Huang curled his lips disdainfully.

"So how should I answer the prince of Liang?" Tang Quan asked cautiously.

Xu Huang said coldly: "He really said that if the case was not found out this time, would he be willing to be punished?"

Tang Quan nodded vigorously: "Yes, Prince Liang is very sure about this."

Cut ~

Is the Prince of Liang really stupid or a strong man? Xu Huang smiled and waved to Tang Quan, signaling him to put his ears over.

Tang Quan hurriedly came forward, and only heard Xu Huang ask in his slight voice: "Tell me honestly, in your opinion, was the assassin who was really assigned by the Prince of Liang last night?"

"There is too little known information, and it is difficult to speak at the moment." Tang Quan used ambiguous words to make excuses.

Xu Huang said softly: "Don't make things difficult for you, don't be afraid. I will give you a promise now. I will never pursue the wrong ones. Just use your accumulated experience and intuition in your years of case-making to tell me what I really think."

"Weichen had exchanges with the Prince of Liang in the morning. Based on his behavior and clues in various aspects, we believe that the possibility of the Prince of Liang committing a crime should not exceed 10%.

Tang Quan lowered his head and answered tremblingly. Every time he said a word in his mouth, his heart suddenly jumped. After speaking, Tang Quan buried his head lower and did not dare to look at Xu Huang's eyes.

"good!"

Xu Huang patted Tang Quan on the shoulder, "Then from now on, the Prince of Liang will be handed over to you. If he wants to investigate the case, take him to investigate. After the investigation every day, remember to continue throwing him into the heavenly prison."

...

Chen Lang leaned against the wooden railing and looked at other cages with empty eyes. At this moment, Chen Lang was a little annoyed, and he shouldn't have rashly spoken to show his determination.

In fact, there was a fire at Zhaixing Tower last night, and Chen Lang was calm and thought of a way to escape with a quilt and rope in the face of danger. This alone can see his potential. Chen Lang participated in the investigation of the case and might receive goods unexpectedly.

So Chen Lang probably doesn’t need to brag, and he can win the opportunity to get out of the cage and wash away his grievances.

Just as he was thinking, several yamen runners appeared within his sight. Chen Lang looked closely and saw that there was a third-rank official with dark green brocade robe among the yamen runners.

Hehehe~

Chen Lang proudly straightened his back and waited for the cage to open.

...

Although I only stayed in Xu Guotian Prison for half a night, when Chen Lang came out, he felt like he was a different life. He looked at the sky secretly, with dark clouds stacked up and unable to see the sun.

It might be raining soon, and it will be a heavy rain.

Chen Lang shook his head and thought to himself that it would be great that the rain would have reached last night in advance, so that even if the fire broke out on the Zhaixing Tower, it would be destroyed by the heavy rain.

He rode a tall horse, Tang Quan and many yamen runners to the Zhaixing Tower, which symbolized Xu Guo's spirit.

Wrong, it should be said that it is the ruins of Zhaixing Tower.

Under the cloudy sky, Zhaixing Tower, which had just experienced the catastrophe, was still stubborn. Looking around, only half of the Zhaixing Tower was left, and the remaining buildings also became black. Seeing this tragic situation, the yamen runners sighed.

After the fire was extinguished last night, Xu Guo’s army took over Zhaixing Tower. They cleaned up the scene and protected the scene, waiting for Tang Quan or other case-handling officials to arrive.
