Chapter 146: There is no family affection in the heavenly family
Dou Lu Zhan cried under the collapse, and he didn't know whether he was in pain or desperate. In fact, the most terrifying time has passed, the punishment has been served, and everything that should be said has been said, but his emotions collapsed at this time, which also made Yan Zhuang cry and laugh.
For Yan Zhuang, the most important role in capturing Dou Lu Zhan is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and he doesn't plan to dig out any earth-shattering news from his mouth.
"Beat, beat me hard! The torture instruments in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison are used one by one, and you can see that he is still full of nonsense!"
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and it scared Dou Lu Zhan to beg for mercy again and again:
"No, no, no, no, what I said is true, if there is a false, then call me to hell, five thunderbolts to the top......"
Yan Zhuang sneered.
"I don't need you to go to hell, now I will make your skin comfortable and comfortable, and what are you doing in a daze!"
Soon, all kinds of torture instruments were set up, and they took turns to greet Dou Lu Zhan's body, not to torture any news, but simply to vent his anger.
Listening to Dou Lu Zhan's screams, Yan Zhuang did not forget to explain:
"Listen to it, just use it casually, just don't beat him to death, leave him half a life, and it's of great use!"
While he was being tortured, an assistant official tiptoed into the cell, just as Dou Lu Zhan let out a miserable scream and rushed straight to the roof, startling him to shrink his neck for a while.
"Da Yin, Doctor Qin is here......"
At this time, Yan Zhuang was in a state of excitement, so he didn't hear clearly what the official said, turned his head and asked:
"What, who's coming?"
"Yes, it's Dr. Qin......"
This time, he finally heard it clearly, and he couldn't care about torturing Dou Lu Zhan anymore, so he hurriedly left the execution cell.
When Yan Zhuang arrived, Qin Jin had already arrived at the middle hall of Jingzhao Mansion, and the front hall was a place for formal occasions to work as directors, which was not suitable, so Qin Jin went to the middle hall to wait.
When he saw Qin Jin again, Yan Zhuang was a little scared, because he had stimulated him in the process of negotiating with Li Heng, so he was afraid that he would be blamed by Qin Jin for ruining all his previous efforts. If he had just surrendered, he still had a little other idea, but since the Shenwu Army took control of Chang'an and Qin Jin became a figure in the imperial court, he had no other ideas, and could only rely on Qin Jin wholeheartedly to seize power, status and wealth.
Therefore, how to serve Qin Jin well is his first priority.
This is not a difficult thing for Yan Zhuang, after all, when he was a strategist under An Lushan, this was his housekeeping ability.
"I heard that Princess Changle and the concubine have been arrested and brought to justice?"
"Yes, but, but there was a little accident when I was arresting Dou Lu Zhan......"
Yan Zhuang knew that it was impossible for him to hide his every move from Qin Jin, not to mention that Xingqing Palace was already full of the eyes and ears of the Shenwu Army, and he was afraid that someone had already informed Qin Jin about his words and deeds, so instead of waiting for Qin Jin to ask, it was better to take the initiative to explain.
Who knows, Qin Jin waved his hand and said:
"The misunderstanding between you and the Son of Heaven, I already know, the Son of Heaven's body is fine, and it is reasonable for him to love the princess and the concubine, the reason why this kind of thing happened today is the negligence of the palace guard, I have sent someone to reprimand, the Son of Heaven is so emotional that I can't complain about you, just for the sake of the health of the Son of Heaven, there are some things in the future, I won't say it if I can!"
Such a simple stroke can make Yan Zhuang breathe a long sigh of relief. But he also knew that Qin Jin would never turn to talk about this matter here, and there must be something else important, but he didn't want to take the initiative to ask, so he waited on the side, waiting for this Qin Jin to take the initiative to speak.
Qin Jin came to Jingzhao Mansion not temporarily, but specially for Princess Changle, knowing that Princess Changle suffered public humiliation, Princess Shou'an still couldn't bear it, after all, Changle used to be like a sister with him, and those betrayals were not enough to wipe out everything in the past.
"I came this time, I was entrusted by Princess Shou'an, Changle and her are aunts and nephews after all, it is still not appropriate to humiliate too much, nor to use excessive torture, as for the mastermind behind the scenes, we must also pay close attention...... If the main envoy can't catch it for a day, the gate of Chang'an City will be blocked for a day, which will bring great inconvenience to the officials and people, so we have to speed up some speed!"
"Please rest assured, the subordinates will try not to hurt Princess Changle, and then torture the tomb mastermind who traveled to the assassination as soon as possible!"
Speaking of the assassination, Qin Jin suddenly asked:
"Yan Jun, do you think this is just a simple assassination incident?"
"Of course it can't be! There must be someone behind Princess Changle, if the subordinates are not bad, they must have a very close relationship with today's son!"
In fact, Yan Zhuang believed that a certain queen was either Li Heng's brother or Li Heng's son. Because they are the only ones who are most qualified to inherit the throne, although Li Heng is still the son of heaven and is alive and well, he can't let a paralyzed man sit on the emperor's throne for a long time, right?
Of course, these are high-sounding reasons, and the real reason is nothing more than the drive of power.
At this time, Yan Zhuang suddenly remembered Dou Lu Zhan's nonsense under torture, and said:
"When he tortured Dou Lu Zhan, he said some nonsense, and the doctor had the right to listen to it as a joke!"
Qin Jin glanced at Yan Zhuang and said:
"But it has something to do with the abolished prince Li Yu?"
The same words came from the mouths of different people, and the results were very different, and Qin Jin's words made Yan Zhuang feel that he had thought about the whole thing simply. Immediately afterward, he asked:
"Could it be that the doctor has already received the exact news that the abolished prince is in Chang'an City?"
Qin Jin shook his head and said:
"Bacheng is not in the city, but there must be people in the city who help with the planning, but the scope is too large, and it can't be investigated for a while, Princess Changle and Dou Lu Zhan are extremely important breakthroughs, neither of them nor their husbands and wives are worried about Zhou Xiang's people, and the assassination incident is definitely not something that their husband and wife can plan as a whole, and there must be someone to guide and help later. So, be sure to find this person out!"
"Don't worry, doctor, within three days, the subordinates will definitely find out this person!"
Yan Zhuang patted his chest and promised, but Qin Jin glanced at him with some amusement, and then said with a smile:
"You don't need to make a military order, as long as you catch the culprit, it's a great achievement!"
In fact, according to Qin Jin's estimate, it would be impossible to thoroughly sort out the many personnel involved in this matter without six or seven days of effort, but he did not expose Yan Zhuang's performance in person, and only dealt with a few words along the way.
Qin Jin knew very well that Yan Zhuang and others couldn't help but be good at intrigue, flattery, and also had the ability to work hard, otherwise how could they rise to the top by An Lushan's side? Putting aside An Lushan's anti-thief image, there were absolutely no idlers around him, either he could lead the army or give advice, if he wanted to fool this border town marshal who climbed up at the bottom, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.
Qin Jin stood up and was about to leave, but he stood up again and said:
"In a while, Shou'an may come to visit Princess Changle, you, you deal with it!"
Yan Zhuang naturally understood this sentence, but he also secretly sighed in his heart, but he had never seen Qin Jin so solemn about any woman.
In fact, Yan Zhuang thought about it, this was not his solemn matter, but to appease Princess Shou'an's injured psychology, although she was a smart woman, but after all, she was still young, and she was suddenly betrayed by her loved ones, and it was difficult to cross this hurdle in a short period of time.
Of course, to put it cruelly, this is a lesson that must be taught by the children of the heavenly family, otherwise they will not be qualified children of the heavenly family. Thinking about the deceased Emperor Xuanzong, who was able to execute three sons in one day, how ruthless should it be?
As the saying goes, tiger poison still doesn't eat children, what made Li Longji extinguish the heart of a father who should lick his calves and love his son?
In the final analysis, it is still power, the closer people are to power, the farther away all the good things in the world are from them, brothers, friends, brothers, fathers, sons, and filial piety, these are all out of place.
After being stunned for a moment, Qin Jin sighed and took heavy steps.
Yan Zhuang looked at Qin Jin's departing back, and always felt that he was a little unhappy, but as for the reason, he couldn't figure it out.
After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't have a clue, so he smiled dumbly: don't look at Qin Jin's righteous year, but his mind is deeper than that of an old man who has experienced decades of sinister life, and it is difficult to guess what he is thinking when he is free.
Princess Shou'an and Qin Jin came to Jingzhao Mansion almost on their feet, and Yan Zhuang was even more cautious and fearful. At least he also knows some of Qin Jin's temperament, and he has a good idea to deal with it, but Princess Shou'an has never dealt with it. Although Princess Shou'an has lived in Luoyang for nearly a year, she lives in a simple place and has little opportunity to contact.
Now, after returning to Chang'an, Princess Shou'an obviously wants to actively participate in the power center of Chang'an, and for such a woman, he can't help but deal with it carelessly.
It turns out that Yan Zhuang has a lot of ideas, Princess Shou'an is obviously not a very ambitious woman like Princess Taiping, after she arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, she only cared about whether Princess Changle was injured and how her mental state was, and she still seemed to be very concerned.
Yan Zhuang couldn't help but sigh secretly, Princess Changle has the big backer of Princess Shou'an, why should she be willing to go near and far? It's good now, not only will the family be ruined, but also the rebellious infamy will be borne forever, thinking about it is a bit worthless for their husband and wife.
At this time, Yan Zhuang found that Princess Shou'an was a little apprehensive and hesitant, and it seemed that at this time, she had decided not to see Princess Changle, but after pacing uneasily in the middle hall for a few laps, she finally sighed softly, as if she had made up her mind.
"I'm bothering Da Yin, you can deal with Changle's affairs impartially, and the big prison ...... I'm not going!"
In order to cope with the arrival of Princess Shou'an, Yan Zhuang arranged it, and specially sent someone to transfer Princess Changle to a relatively clean and bright cell, and now I heard that she gave up visiting, although she was faintly disappointed, but still involuntarily relieved.
