Chapter 868 From now on, we have no relationship
Zhang Jinyan realized something was wrong when he saw no one from Prince Yi's Mansion delivering dinner.
Since yesterday, I have been locked up in the Sky Prison, and I know a little about what is happening outside.
After all, the people from Prince Yi's Mansion had wine and food delivered on time from yesterday to noon today.
From the food delivery man, Zhang Jinyan also knew that he had not yet been truly convicted by the emperor;
His princess daughter also went to the palace early this morning to pay her respects to the Queen!
The so-called paying respects was nothing more than going to the Queen Mother to plead for mercy on his own behalf.
My daughter is the niece-in-law of the Emperor and Empress, so they will at least give her some face. I should be able to get out soon!
As for the jailers in the sky prison, they have always treated me with respect.
No matter what, he is King Yi's father-in-law, Taishan!
Zhang Jinyan felt that the emperor would not really do anything to him just because he was his nephew's father-in-law!
It was nothing more than that he had disobeyed the emperor in front of civil and military officials in the Golden Palace. The emperor was embarrassed and angry, so in a rage he threw him into the Sky Prison for a few days to vent his anger.
After the emperor calmed down, he would lightly fine him a few months' salary, and then he would leave, and everything would be back to normal.
But unexpectedly, it was only the evening of the next day, and the people from Prince Yi's Mansion did not bring any more wine or food.
The attitude of the jailers in the sky prison towards him also changed completely.
Zhang Jinyan looked at the bowl of clear rice soup on the ground near the prison door;
Looking at the black pancake that rolled to his feet, his heart sank to the bottom.
This is... His Royal Highness Prince Yi doesn't allow the servants in the mansion to bring wine and food to himself, his father-in-law?
Does this mean... that you are going to sever ties with your father-in-law from now on?
But why?
Could it be... that the emperor has already convicted himself of a serious crime?
Before, even if the emperor was angry and threw me into the Sky Prison... Prince Yi didn't turn against me and still asked the servants in the mansion to deliver meals on time, right?
Why did it suddenly change?
What happened outside?
Even if the emperor really wants to punish me...
After all, he was the second-in-command of the current dynasty and an official appointed by the court. If he was to be convicted, he would at least have to go through a trial by three judges, and finally the Ministry of Justice would decide the charges on him, instead of just charging him with the crime without any trial or inquiry.
It is even more impossible to lock yourself up in the sky prison in such a confused manner.
What on earth is happening outside?
Zhang Jinyan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
He stood up, rushed to the prison door, grabbed the bars with his hands, and shouted outside: "Jailer...Jailer...
Come here quickly!
Come here to me!"
Zhang Jinyan shouted twice, but no one appeared.
Zhang Jinyan panicked and shouted again... Then he heard two footsteps approaching from afar.
Zhang Jinyan looked sideways and saw two jailers coming, one holding a bunch of keys and the other holding a whip.
The two men walked closer, looked at Zhang Jinyan with disdain, then looked at the soup bowl and pancakes on the ground, "What are you yelling about?
Are you not hungry? You still have the energy to yell so loudly!
You dare to delay my making money? Are you asking for a beating?
Still don’t want to eat?
If you don’t want to eat, just starve and don’t bother me!
If my luck is bad today, I will whip you!"
"You...you...you bastards!
Who do you think you are? How dare you call me your master?
snort!
I am the current Prime Minister, the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi, and the biological father of Princess Yi!
Instead of serving me obediently, you dare to show off your power and speak rudely in front of me. Be careful, I will send you to hell after I get out of the prison!"
"Going to the West?
It should be you who goes to the Western Paradise... No, you don't deserve to go to the Western Paradise, you deserve to go to hell!
laugh!
Now that we're here, why are you still putting on airs in front of me?
I've been working in the prison for so many years, and I've never seen a few officials who went to the prison and were able to get out safely!
You...it's even more impossible!
Do you want to get out of the prison?
Then wait for trial, or be sentenced to exile, or... be dragged out and beheaded!
Then you will be able to escape from this prison!"
"presumptuous!
I am the current Prime Minister and the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi.
You are just a bunch of dogs, yet you dare to talk nonsense in front of me.
You really don’t know how to live or die…”
"Snapped!"
The jailer raised his hand and lashed the prison door with a whip, frightening Zhang Jinyan so much that he quickly retracted his hand, stepped back several steps, and stopped talking for a while.
Zhang Jinyan stared with wide eyes, looking at the arrogant jailer outside the door in disbelief.
"You dare to say that I don't know how to live or die?
You are the one who doesn't know how to live or die, and your whole family doesn't know how to live or die!
And you keep saying that you are the second prime minister of the current dynasty?
I'm sorry to ask you something, since you are the second prime minister of the current dynasty, why don't you just do your job as the second prime minister in the court...what are you doing in the Heavenly Prison?
laugh!
Are you the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi?
Did His Royal Highness Prince Yi send delicious food and wine to you, his father-in-law, tonight?
no?
To tell you the truth, there is no more wine and food in Prince Yi’s Mansion!
There will be no more in the future!
The food and wine are gone, but His Royal Highness Prince Yi did send someone to deliver a message...
From now on, you, Zhang Jinyan, will be a prisoner in this prison.
We will treat you the same way we treat other prisoners.
From now on, you and Prince Yi’s Mansion… have nothing to do with each other!”
