Heavy snow smoothed out the smell.

Liu Guanglin sniffed the cold air outside the room vigorously and exhaled a big breath of hot air.

"It's really nice weather!" Liu Guanglin showed a habitual smile on his face. The servant stepped forward and handed over the hot water and towels, and Liu Guanglin put on his official uniform after washing.

"Sir, someone outside is invited. ”

"Who is it?" Liu Guanglin was a little strange, someone would come so early in the morning.

"I don't know, they are all wearing official uniforms, and their expressions are solemn. ”

Liu Guanglin thought for a moment and walked towards the main entrance, but he didn't want the other party to have broken in.

"On the order of Lord Zuo of the Criminal Department, please ask Lord Liu to go to the Criminal Department!" The officers and soldiers who came were the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department, with an irresistible look, and put the requisition order of the Criminal Department in front of Liu Guanglin's eyes.

"Wait for me to put on my official boots. Liu Guanglin said after carefully reading the requisition order.

"No, please leave now. ”

Liu Guanglin knew that procrastination was useless, so he glanced at the servant and followed the other party out.

Sitting in the creaking carriage, Liu Guanglin thought about the mission to the Criminal Department this time.

"Why did you let me go to the Criminal Department? I have never had anything to do with the Criminal Department, and I don't have the ability to judge cases, so why did I go to the Criminal Department?"

Liu Guanglin carefully looked at what had happened in the heavenly capital recently, as familiar as a student reciting an article that has been passed down through the ages in his heart.

"It shouldn't be......"

Liu Guanglin carefully counted the mistakes he had made recently, and counted them until a year ago, but he did not find any serious mistakes.

"Could it be that there were too few congratulatory gifts for the birth of the sixth son of the criminal department squire three months ago? The squire of the criminal department is young and ambitious, in a high position and beautiful thirteen, and his vision has always been higher than others, so it stands to reason that even if my gift is not eye-catching, it is impossible to have a holiday with a lowly person like me......"

In addition to taking care of the necessary relationships, Liu Guanglin lived a very poor life, and he was not even as good as the rich businessmen in Tiandu. He has always been cautious, vigilant everywhere, and has seen many things quite thoroughly, but this time he didn't understand the reason for going to the criminal department at all.

"Here we are, sir. ”

Liu Guanglin settled down, opened the curtain and prepared to get out of the carriage. Unexpectedly, the horse suddenly startled, jumped forward and began to go crazy. The rider was frightened and shouted loudly, and the whip in his hand was useless.

Boom!

Liu Guanglin, who was caught off guard, immediately fell back into the carriage, and the carriage swayed back and forth with the madness of the horse in front, and Liu Guanglin hit back and forth in the carriage like a balloon, almost losing consciousness directly.

It wasn't until the man in charge of guarding the gate of the Ministry of Punishment came and held down Crazy Horse that the little commotion was put to rest.

"My lord, are you alright, my lord?" The horse rider opened the door curtain in a panic and helped Liu Guanglin, who had a broken forehead, out.

Liu Guanglin felt that the world in front of him was spinning, especially when he saw the sunlight reflected by the snow, he almost fainted.

"Your Excellency?"

The voice in his ears was lengthening, and Liu Guanglin wanted to make himself settle but found that his body didn't listen to him.

"Your Excellency!"

Buzz –

A bell-like sound sounded in his ears, Liu Guanglin finally stopped shaking, saw the scene in front of him clearly, and there was pain on his forehead.

"Unlucky...... Liu Guanglin looked up at the sky, and suddenly had a feeling of fright.

"Lord Liu, I finally looked forward to you!" A person suddenly appeared at the gate of the Criminal Department, and he hurried all the way to the carriage, and as soon as he bowed and wanted to speak, Liu Guanglin screamed.

"Ah——!" Liu Guanglin covered his forehead and suddenly leaned back into the carriage.

"Your Excellency?!"

"Master Liu, what's the matter?" the person who greeted him hurriedly asked the people on the left and right.

"Just now, the horse suddenly went crazy, and Lord Liu fell back into the carriage before he got out of the carriage, I am afraid that he was not lightly injured!"

"Oh, then what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and help Master Liu down!"

The guards immediately stepped forward to help people, but they didn't want to let out even more painful moans as soon as they touched Liu Guanglin.

"Lord Liu, how is it?

"Oops-" Liu Guanglin groaned in pain, covering his head and curling up.

"How good is this!" The official who went out was so anxious that he stomped his feet, sweat broke out on his forehead, Liu Guanglin's shouting made him more and more anxious, and when he was helpless, he looked up and saw that there was a light in his eyes. "Divine Doctor Xue, Divine Doctor Xue, come and help me show Master Liu!"

The officials of the Criminal Department greeted Doctor Xue and begged for a while before inviting Doctor Xue over.

The burly Doctor Xue walked in to take a look at Liu Guanglin, snorted, said "nothing" and left.

"Lord Liu, please let me endure the pain and go to the Criminal Department, all the adults in the Criminal Department are waiting for Lord Liu!" The officials of the Criminal Department knew that Liu Guanglin was pretending to be sick, and they didn't say anything, but only raised their voices.

Liu Guanglin thought about it and guessed that it would not be aimed at him this time, otherwise the official of the Criminal Department would not have been so polite, and looking at the anxious appearance of the other party just now, there was something indispensable to him.

"Help me. Liu Guanglin groaned for a moment and struggled to get up.

"Lord Liu, please!"

Liu Guanglin covered his head and walked forward as slowly as possible, but he still walked step by step to the dungeon set up by the Criminal Department.

Logically speaking, the Criminal Department is only a place for office, and the prison is a place for detention and interrogation, but the huge Criminal Department will still set up several places for interrogation for convenience.

Walking towards the increasingly claustrophobic place step by step, Liu Guanglin roughly guessed his role.

The door opened, and a strong smell of blood rushed over, Liu Guanglin was stunned, he really didn't expect that the Criminal Department would have such a bloody place.

The blood of the years turned black, piled up in every corner, soaking almost everything through. Needless to say, the people who stay here a lot, even those who have come in once, have to slow down for a while when they go out.

"Lord Liu is here, please take a seat. The adults who were sitting said with a smile at Liu Guanglin.

"Meet Lord Gong, Lord Lin, and Lord Yang. Liu Guanglin knew all the people present, and as soon as he entered the door, he understood the meaning of today's catastrophe.

Snort –

As the red-hot iron landed on the inner thighs of the man, the stabbing sound of the meat was mixed with the screams of the person, piercing the eardrum.

"My lord, this man has fainted. ”

"Divine Doctor Xue. Lord Yang said with a flat expression.

Divine Doctor Xue, who had met at the door before, applied needles expressionlessly at this time, all of them pierced the other party's death hole, although this method can make people feel high in a short period of time, but this person has no possibility of life.

As soon as the prisoner came to his senses, a new instrument of torture was applied to him.

"Ahh

"Then tell me about it. Lord Lin slowly picked up the teacup. "I changed the account, I changed the account, I changed the account......"

"What's the account?"

"The account of the salt tax of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Bold Ma Sihao! You are a minor seven-rank official, what power do you have to change the tax account books of the imperial court! Where did you get the guts? Say, did someone instruct you to do this?!"

"Ah, yes, no, yes......" Ma Sihao, who was tortured, had no clear consciousness.

"Yes or no!"

"Yes......"

"Who is it?!"

"Yes...... Be...... It's high ......."

"Oops!" Liu Guanglin suddenly screamed, holding his head and curling up in his chair.

"Lord Liu, what's wrong?"

"Earlier, Lord Liu's carriage was frightened and injured. ”

"Oops, I'm really sorry, my sudden headache, my headache is splitting! Oops......" Liu Guanglin covered his head and hammered himself hard, and fell off the chair with a flutter.

"Divine Doctor Xue, please show Lord Liu first. ”

Doctor Xue looked at Liu Guanglin coldly, pulled out a golden needle, stepped forward, and said, "One needle will definitely make Lord Liu painless." ”

Liu Guanglin was shocked in his heart, watching Divine Doctor Xue come over in two steps, unable to think of any way to deal with it, until he saw Divine Doctor Xue's golden needle piercing his head, he suddenly pushed forward, directly making the golden needle almost all submerged, and then fainted.

"You!" Divine Doctor Xue looked at Liu Guanglin who fell to the ground, and was speechless for a while.

Everyone glanced at Liu Guanglin, and Lord Gong, who was the leader, said, "Doctor Xue, you take care of Lord Liu first, and the interrogation continues." ”

"Say, who assigned you?

"It's high...... It's Gao Han ......" It seems that there is only this one name left in the mind of the prisoner Ma Sihao.

"Is it Gao Han? Is it Gao Han, the head of the household department?"

"No, yes, no......"

"Is it or not?!"

"Ahh......h

“......”

The three adults in charge of the interrogation glanced at each other, and then gave each other, and someone immediately put the confession in front of the prisoner Ma Sihao.

"Ma Sihao, let's see if this confession is what you said, and whether what you said is true? If so, sign it!"

Ma Sihao, who has already been tortured, can still see the words clearly, that is, the signatures and drawings are all done by others with his hands.

"Lord Liu?"

Liu Guanglin slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dazzling light, and he knew that he had come out of the interrogation room of the Criminal Department.

"Is Lord Liu feeling better?"

"Still having a splitting headache. Liu Guanglin said with a painful face.

"Then can Master Liu remember the details of today's audit?"

"I had a headache and fainted, and I didn't hear a word. ”

"In this case, Lord Liu, please go back first, if you let Lord Liu suffer today, the Criminal Department will definitely send someone to apologize in the coming day. ”

"Today's circumstantial evidence did not do his best, it is good not to punish, and I dare not ask for any apologies. If Liu didn't know how to be polite, it was a headache, so he had to go home to recuperate first and leave. Liu Guanglin hurriedly walked out of the criminal department and disappeared into the long street.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Guanglin did have a splitting headache, but he was even more frightened.

"It's going to be a big mess!"
