"What's there to be curious about?" Lu Shuo smiled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When Qingquan heard this, he was about to praise Lu Shuo for two sentences, but Lu Shuo smiled and said, "Anyway, sooner or later, I will know." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Say it again! Can you still not tell me? ”

The spring choked.

Lu Shuo said with a straight face: "Okay, don't sell it, if you have anything to say, just say it!" I'm still practicing my handwriting, but I don't have time to play this guessing game with you. ”

Qingquan pursed his mouth, the young master is really, every time he is so boring.

He said: "It was a notice posted outside, saying that all the examiners of this government examination have been arrested, and the adults who are trying the case will torture them to force them to tell who is the person who committed the crime in the government examination this time......

Qingquan continued to speak, and Lu Shuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Stop!" ”

"The notice outside is really posted like this, or you made it up yourself."

So many officials, if you think about it with a little knee, you know that it is impossible to use the trick of torture.

Qingquan smiled wryly, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Okay, you don't have to tell me this, you just need to tell me, how are the rumors going out there now, are they still as rampant as a few days ago?"

"No, no!" Qingquan said, "As you guessed before, it's really a lot less." ”

Qingquan said this, and he was happy again.

These days, the young master has been plagued by these rumors, and now that the rumors are gradually disappearing, he no longer has to worry about being pointed at and scolded by others, and the young master can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"However," Qingquan became distressed again, "These few rumors almost all say that you reported Du Xiaogongzi, but the rumor that started a few days ago has not disappeared now, but has ......."

Lu Shuo nodded, knowing what Qingquan meant.

said it was a rumor, but in fact it was just Cai Shaoyu's little trick! wanted to imitate Gao Zhuo to slander him, and by the way, he diverted his gaze from his son.

He thinks it's beautiful, but ......

"You don't have to worry too much! These two rumors are one and the same, and since the previous rumors have gradually disappeared, the longer the later this one is spread, the more counterproductive it will be, and there is really no need to pay attention to it. ”

Qingquan nodded slightly, and Lu Shuo looked at him and continued: "Since it has developed to this point, this matter is basically in the past. You should do what you should do in the future, and continue to do what you do! You don't have to report it to me anymore. ”

When this matter comes to this, it basically has nothing to do with their Jingguo Mansion, and then, as long as the letter he sent to Yue Ge's old mansion can play a role, everything will be fine.

After Lu Shuo finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to trace the words.

Although Qingquan is puzzled, it can only be.

Lu Shuo really didn't say it wrong.

The posture of the three divisions of the interrogation is quite large, but after all, the people involved are all officials of the imperial court, and when they are tried, they don't even need to kneel, let alone torture and torture to extract confessions.

Even so, you still have to go through the motions that you need to go through!

What's more, this three trials were ordered by the Holy Lord himself today, and rumors were rampant in the capital some time ago, so as soon as the announcement of the Holy Lord's official personally hearing the case of the government examination came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and now there are many people who are waiting and watching this matter.

With such a result, I don't know if Gao Zhuo will have the slightest regret for the rumors he released in the first place!

All kinds of reasons overlapped together, and the three chief judges and the superintendent Fu Wang naturally did not dare to slack off, and they went through the process one by one, and all the evidence that should be searched was also searched.

After five or six days of this, just when everyone in the capital gradually lost hope for the outcome of this matter, several presiding judges finally searched for a trace from the Ministry of Rites.

It's a secret letter.

This secret letter was searched from the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and when the officers and soldiers went to search for it, this letter was buried in a thick book of "Zizhi Tongjian", and together with other books, it was well sealed in the book compartment of a certain study room of the Ministry of Rites.

And the owner of this study is Pang Xiuping, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

The night has fallen, although the main hall of Dali Temple is lit, but the closed door and the oppressive atmosphere make the whole main hall still look black.

Pang Xiuping was grabbed by the collar by two prison officers and lifted up.

Since yesterday evening in the Ministry of Rites Yamen found the secret letter, to tonight's arraignment, but only one day and one night, Pang Xiuping seems to have changed a person, his hands and feet are heavily shackled, a white prison uniform, covered with whip marks, blood seeped out through the torn strips of cloth, emitting bursts of foul smell, the originally elegant face is also as pale as paper at this time, looking extremely depressed and weak.

King Fu sat on the Taishi chair on the left side of the hall, sipping tea leisurely, and couldn't help frowning when he saw Pang Xiuping's miserable appearance at first glance.

Although Pang Xiuping has now walked from his study to the evidence related to the case, since the incident happened yesterday evening to the present, there has been neither arraignment nor verdict, and it is really inappropriate to carry out such a tragic torture on Pang Xiuping in such a hurry.

He couldn't help but look at Dong Shangde, who was sitting in the center of the main trial table.

Although this is said to be a triage of the three divisions, according to the usual practice, the three divisions are still dominated by the criminal department, so the main trial this time is Dong Shangde, the secretary of the criminal department.

"Master Dong." King Fu put down the teacup and shouted.

When Lord Dong heard the meaning of inquiry in King Fu's words, he couldn't help but look at him, and his tone was very respectful: "Lord Wang, but what's wrong?" ”

"This—" King Fu pointed to Pang Xiuping, who was curled up in a ball on the ground at this time, trembling all over.

"There's nothing interrogated yet! Why did he beat people like this, now this Pang Xiuping looks so weak, and I don't know if I can withstand tonight's trial. ”

Lord Zeng and Lord Yu looked at Pang Xiuping on the ground, looking at their nose and nose, and they didn't squeak for a long time.

This matter of extorting confessions by torture has always been the responsibility of the Criminal Department, and this time the matter is already a bit tricky, so the two of them can try not to touch their hands if they can!

"Oh! Although you have said that you have decided the case before, you have always been in Dali Temple, and the torture methods in Dali Temple are much gentler than those of the Criminal Department, no wonder you are so confused. ”

Dong Shangde heard King Fu ask about this, and couldn't help but smile like a sudden realization.

"This is the old rule of our criminal department! Once this prisoner is in prison, whether he has committed a crime or not, he must first be whipped fifty times for the purpose of killing! Although Pang Xiuping is a third-grade official with a noble status, once he enters the edict prison, he is allocated an official uniform and changes into prison clothes, which is naturally no different from ordinary criminals, and it is normal for the prison officials of the Criminal Department to use this punishment on him. ”
