Chapter 1169 Prison Visit

Jingyang Mansion.

After a long trip to Minzhou, Yun Zheng and Miaoyin finally returned to Jingyang Prefecture.

Yun Zheng immediately handed over the "secret agreement" he signed with Qin Liugan to Tuo Huan.

"Your Highness is very clever. I admire you very much!"

Seeing that the court promised to give them so much money, food and cloth, Tuohuan couldn't help but look at Yun Zheng with admiration.

"Whether it's smart or not, it's all because I have no choice."

Yun Zheng laughed and instructed Tuo Huan: "A batch of money, grain and cloth will be delivered before the New Year. If it arrives, you will send someone to inform me as fast as possible. If it doesn't arrive, tell Qu Zhi. I will also tell him some things before I return to Shuobei."

"Yes!"

Tuo Huan accepted the order and said, "I have a letter from home. Please send someone to deliver it to my son Mondo."

"Just send someone to deliver it yourself."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and said sternly: "You don't have to be like this! I believe you are a smart person and will not do stupid things!"

How could he not understand Tuohuan's meaning.

He estimated that the letter home that Tuohuan asked him to deliver would not even be sealed.

Tuohuan was obviously afraid that he would be suspicious of him and think that there was some conspiracy between them.

Tuohuan tried his best to handle the affairs of Fuzhou for him. If he couldn't even give Tuohuan this little trust, would he dare to use people who surrendered or voluntarily joined him in the future?

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!"

Tuohuan smiled embarrassedly.

He really didn't need to do that.

But, didn’t this just happen with Yu Fu and Ji Ran?

He was afraid that Yun Zheng would be affected by this incident and would become more suspicious of the people around him.

That's why he had to resort to this last resort.

After all, he is a surrendered minister. Being cautious and reducing suspicion is the way to survive.

Yun Zheng: "If you miss your family, find a time to go back to Guifang, or I can send someone to tell Mondo to bring people to Fuzhou to reunite with you, either way is fine!"

Tuo Huan looked at Yun Zheng in surprise and said tentatively, "After the beginning of next spring, I want to go back to Guifang to have a look. I hope Your Highness will grant me permission."

"no problem!"

Yun Zheng readily agreed, "But before you leave, you have to arrange these things in Fuzhou properly, and you also have to find a suitable person to handle Fuzhou's government affairs for you."

"I understand."

A happy smile appeared on Tuohuan's face.

He has been in Fuzhou alone for almost two years.

He really wanted to go back to Guifang to take a look.

Yun Zheng smiled and asked, "How is Ji Ran doing? Has he given up?"

"No."

Tuo Huan smiled and replied: "This man is indeed a talent! Once he has approved an official document, I almost never need to approve it again."

Talking about this, Tuohuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Yun Zheng’s thoughts are indeed a bit hard to understand.

If Ji Ran fell into the hands of someone else, he would have been torn into pieces long ago.

However, Yun Zheng not only did not kill Ji Ran, he also let Ji Ran approve official documents from all over Fuzhou in prison, and had the jailers serve him with good wine and food every day.

Nowadays, all official documents from Fuzhou are first sent to the prison for Ji Ran's approval, and then sent to him.

He basically just plays a gatekeeper role.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go see this great talent!"

Yun Zheng gave Tuohuan an order and then rushed into the prison.

When Yun Zheng arrived at the prison, Ji Ran was sitting in a special office reviewing official documents.

Yun Zheng didn't disturb them, but just stood at the corner and watched quietly.

Ji Ran didn't notice Yun Zheng either, he just focused on reviewing official documents.

Ji Ran sometimes thought, sometimes picked up a pen, and sometimes stood up and walked back and forth.

It can be seen that he was very calm and not anxious about dealing with official documents in prison.

Yun Zheng watched quietly for nearly a quarter of an hour before he slowly walked to the prison door and looked at Ji Ran through the door.

He did not deliberately slow down his footsteps, but Ji Ran seemed not to notice his footsteps and was still sitting there reviewing official documents.

"Cough cough..."

It was not until Yun Zheng coughed lightly that Ji Ran raised his head.

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, then he woke up from his dream and left his seat, kneeling slowly: "The guilty Ji Ran, I pay my respects to the prince."

"Get up!"

Yun Zheng smiled, and asked someone to bring a stool for him to sit on. He asked Ji Ran through the cell door, "Are you used to staying here?"

Ji Ran stood up slowly and said calmly, "I'm definitely not used to being here, but I'm already very satisfied that I can survive until now, have food and drink, and have something to do."

"You are content!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then pointed to the documents piled on the desk in the cell, "Just give me a copy of the document you approved."

"Yes."

Ji Ran took the order and quickly took a document and handed it to Yun Zheng through the cell bars.

Yun Zheng took it and without saying a word, he quietly looked through the official documents that Ji Ran had approved.

This is an official document submitted by the mayor of Yaoxi County. Its content is basically the year-end summary and plans for next year, including the current difficulties.

Ji Ran's comments were very detailed, basically one by one, and he even pointed out a typo.

It can be seen that Ji Ran was very attentive and the content of his instructions was relatively reasonable.

After a while, Yun Zheng raised his head and asked with a smile: "Why are you so detailed?"

Ji Ran answered honestly: "On the one hand, it's because the criminals have nothing else to do but review official documents to kill time; on the other hand, it's also because the criminals want to show off in front of the prince and fight for a way to survive."

"You are honest."

Yun Zheng smiled and asked again: "You should have met Meng Ruowang, right?"

"I've seen it before."

Ji Ran replied: "Compared to Lord Meng, the criminals are lucky."

He had already learned from Meng Ruowang that Yun Zheng had fulfilled his promise and indeed had no intention of killing Meng Ruowang, but he wanted to send Meng Ruowang to Moyang's mine to mine.

When Meng Ruowang saw him, he kept crying to him, saying that life was worse than death.

"That's because you're not the mastermind."

Yun Zheng stood up and returned the document in his hand to Ji Ran. "Stay here! If you have any requests, tell me now! As long as your request is not excessive, I will try my best to meet it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran said without hesitation: "The criminal wants to see his wife and children."

"This won't work!"

Yun Zheng directly refused, "I can only tell you that they are all alive and well!"

Ji Ran opened his mouth slightly, his expression gloomy.

"Then please ask Your Majesty to send some books to the criminals! Classics, history, and miscellaneous works will be fine..."

"This won't work either."

Yun Zheng refused again, "Now that you have books to kill time, I'm afraid you won't be able to review these documents properly."

"no no……"

Ji Ran panicked and quickly promised: "I promise that I will approve official documents as usual and will not slack off!"

"That's okay!"

Yun Zheng reluctantly agreed, "Any other requests?"

Ji Ran thought about it and shook his head slightly.

He actually wanted to stay in prison and enjoy the dancing of beautiful women, listen to some folk songs and watch some plays.

However, Yun Zheng would definitely not agree to these requests.

It's useless to say it.

"That's all! I'll have someone send the book to you later! If you have any thoughts after you finish reading it, you can write them down!"

Yun Zheng gave Ji Ran an instruction and without staying any longer, turned around and left.

Let’s train Ji Ran first!

Imprison him for at least another half a year, let him miss his wife and children more, feel the pain of separation more, and further his studies in this prison, and then re-employ him...
