The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 723 Yan Yan is in jail (4)

It's just that there are all the witnesses and materials of Mo Qingze's fraud in the examination room, and everyone knows that it's causing trouble, so the two officials really don't have the guts to let Mo Yan in.

Seeing the hesitation of the two of them, Mo Yan suppressed the anxiety in his heart and patiently persuaded: "Not to mention that my father was framed and imprisoned, even if my father really committed fraud and the crime is not determined for a day, this county prince has the right to go to jail. Prison visitation, if you can’t make the decision, then let someone who can make the decision come and talk to this county.”

After hearing this, the two officials had no way to refute, and they were worried about letting people in. They turned around and were scolded by their superiors, so they could only apologize and said: "If you go back to the county, this matter is of great importance. The lower officials can't make the decision. It just so happens that our minister is still here." Yamen, I will go and ask for instructions now. I hope you will bear with me and wait a moment."

Mo Yan knew that it was useless to force them to do this, so he could only wait for the person above to speak, and then said: "Then I'll help you two adults! It's damp and cold in the prison, and I am really worried about my father's health. I hope you two adults can be here." Please give me a few words of kindness in front of Lord Shangshu and ask me to send these things to keep out the cold to my father!"

The two officials glanced at the quilt and clothes Li Yan was holding in her arms and didn't even dare to say anything. The Minister of Punishment stayed to keep him company, and another official quickly went to ask the Minister of Punishment for instructions.

Mo Yan had no choice but to sit down and wait for half an hour.

Seeing Mo Yan's face getting worse and worse, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. Others don't know that he participated in this year's autumn hunting. Does this county prince have any kindness to His Royal Highness?

His Highness the Crown Prince's position is secure. If the prince loses his patience and holds a grudge against him, the Minister of Justice, just by saying a word to His Highness the Crown Prince, his future may be delayed.

Thinking of this, his face became disgusting, and he secretly cursed the subordinate who went to report it. Even if Lord Shangshu disagrees or is still "considering", can't you come back and inform him first?

Another stick of incense passed, and just when Mo Yan's patience was almost gone, the officials who had gone to ask for instructions finally came back, and brought back the good news that the Minister of Punishment agreed that Mo Yan would be imprisoned to visit his father.

The reason for the delay was that the Minister of Punishment did not dare to make the decision, so he hurriedly entered the palace to ask Emperor Hui'an for instructions. Only after receiving Emperor Hui'an's personal promise did he dare to let the person in.

Compared with Li Yantang's joy, Mo Yan's mood was particularly heavy. Even the Minister of Punishment has reached such a cautious level, which shows that the case of examination fraud is more serious than she imagined. If one mistake is made, their whole family may be involved in this matter.

Under the personal guidance of the Minister of Punishment, Mo Yan and the others arrived at the Prison of Punishment without any hindrance.

The environment in the prison of the Criminal Department is better than Mo Yan imagined. At least the inside is not dark all year round. The cell looks quite clean. There are no snakes, insects, rats or ants. However, it may be because of the winter. Those things are already afraid of the cold. Hibernated.

Mo Qingze's cell was deep in the whole cell. Fortunately, it was on the sunny side, and there was an iron window that let in light.

When Mo Yan approached, she saw her father sitting on the earthen bed covered with straw, holding a book in front of the window and reading. To her surprise, her father was wrapped in a brand new quilt, and nothing else There may not be a new quilt in the cell, even a piece of cotton wool.

Mo Qingze was immersed in the book and turned his back to Mo Yan and his party. He didn't notice the movement outside the cell at all. It wasn't until Mo Yan shouted "Dad" excitedly that he turned around.

Seeing that it was his daughter, Mo Qingze was surprised and happy in his eyes.

When the cell boss took the key and opened the cell door, Mo Yan couldn't wait to walk in. She took her father's hand and looked him up and down. She saw that he was clean and in good spirits. He was obviously not being tortured. She was relieved immediately. .

After the Minister of Punishment and the prison chief left, Mo Yan took her father to sit on the earthen bed and told her the speculation she had made in the space yesterday. Seeing her father staring at her in surprise, she knew she had guessed correctly.

"Dad, why didn't you tell your daughter about this?" Mo Yan was very angry at her father for hiding it, and angry at her father for treating her like a child and silently resisting everything.

Mo Qingze looked at his angry daughter and looked away with a guilty conscience, not daring to tell her the plans he and Xiao Ruiyuan had agreed upon. Otherwise, he really didn't know if his daughter would ignore him as a father in a fit of anger.

Mo Yan didn't know what her father was thinking. Seeing him lowering his head and saying nothing, she thought he knew he was wrong but was embarrassed to admit it, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

But his face was still unyielding: "Dad, my daughter used to hide something from you. After you found out, you punished her by kneeling in front of her ancestors for two hours and promised not to hide anything from you again. As a father, you can't do that. It’s such a disappointment to my daughter!”

When Mo Qingze heard this, he didn't dare to tell his daughter those things. He put aside his dignity as a father and coaxed in a gentle voice: "It's dad's fault this time. Yan'er will forgive dad this time, and dad will do it again in the future." I will never hide anything from you!"

Mo Yan was not very angry to begin with, but was more worried about his father. Seeing that his father seemed to really know that he was wrong, he stopped worrying about the matter and asked his father if he had any way to escape.
