Chapter 214: Torture

Since His Majesty has made up his mind to investigate, Lu Yun, the 'only' insider, will not be insignificant, and in the future, the people of the Jingshi will only talk about who is harboring evil intentions and meddling in the salt administration of Hebei Province, and they will only talk about who has the audacity to send a detailed job to monitor the officials of the Jingshi, and the Jingguo Mansion can finally get out smoothly.

"Yes!" Lu Shuo's expression was firm, and he nodded: "As Wei Fuzi said, the focus is on karma at the moment, as for the major affairs of the court, it is good to know the general situation, it is not what the son should care about now, the son knows the severity." ”

After listening to this, Lu Yun nodded and stopped making a sound.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, the green trees and green grass in the distance became a hazy green in his eyes, and his mind turned a thousand times, and finally he opened his eyes and sighed secretly: It seems that he will slowly figure it out in the future.

……

Lord Xu and Lord Yang were arrested for most of the night, and finally searched the entire Jingshi City one by one, and after a round, a total of one hundred and seventeen people were arrested, the number of people was huge, and these people seemed to be dead soldiers, many of them were arrested consciously, and they were about to swallow medicine and commit suicide by gritting their teeth, thanks to the cleverness of the guards of the soldiers, although they lost two, it did not affect the overall situation.

The crowd of arrests is immense!

After this afternoon, everyone in the Beijing division also saw some signs, these officers and soldiers looked fierce and evil, but only went to the official palace, but there was no obstacle to the common people, for a while the courage of the people gradually increased, there was that good thing, although they did not dare to look at it in the open, but they also climbed the wall, and secretly watched while people were unprepared.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this.

Torches illuminated the dark night, and the faces of the arrested people were exposed in this light.

The officers and soldiers did not deliberately cover their faces, but tied them up and walked in a row. Many people secretly saw this, and then linked it with the charge of 'arresting and meticulous work' used by the officers and soldiers in the previous arrest, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to look at it again.

The officers and soldiers were extremely fast, but after a while, they all arrested these people and put them in the edict prison, and they were locked up one by one in pairs, except for the one brought back from the Lu Mansion, who was specially ordered by Lord Xu, and put them in a cell alone, and ordered the prison officers to guard them carefully.

"Lord Xu, this is ......" Seeing this, Lord Yang was quite puzzled, and couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and ask.

"Oh!" Lord Xu didn't hide it, "The previous two, if they die, they will die, this is the key to this case, and there must be no more accidents, if Your Majesty comes to try it in person in a while, mention this first." ”

After hearing this, Lord Yang knew that this was the focus of the guards, so he only nodded, and did not ask any more.

The two glanced at each other understandingly, and there was a sharp announcement outside, breaking the gloomy atmosphere in the prison.

It was Emperor Hui Chong who came in person.

Emperor Hui Chong was extremely fast.

The two did not dare to delay, hurriedly walked out of the gate of the edict, and respectfully welcomed Emperor Hui Chong in.

Along with Emperor Hui Chong, there is also Mr. Zhikui.

Lord Xu and Lord Yang welcomed Emperor Hui Chong to the main seat and sat down, and as soon as Lord Xu made a look, the prison officer hurriedly lifted the prisoner from the prison and waited for dispatch.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lord Yang and Lord Xu stepped forward and briefly said that they were all found in those mansions today.

Emperor Hui Chong had already read the list, and he could roughly remember it, and when he heard the two of them report it again, he saw that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded carelessly.

Only then did Lord Xu's voice tremble, and he said guiltily: "Your Majesty, a total of 117 people have been found in this search, and two of them accidentally swallowed poison and committed suicide, which is a dereliction of duty by the ministers!"

When Emperor Hui Chong heard this, he glanced up at the two of them.

The two of them couldn't help but kneel lower.

"There are all the medicines hidden in your teeth?" Emperor Hui Chong asked with a cold snort.

"Yes!" replied Lord Xu, "one hundred and seventeen people, all of them are like this! ”

"Hmm," Emperor Hui Chong closed his eyes and exhaled heavily.

The two adults' expressions tightened again.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, Emperor Hui Chongdi slapped the table and shouted: "The preparation is so proper, it seems that it is really meticulous!

Seeing that Emperor Hui Chong suddenly became angry, everyone fell to his knees suddenly, and he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that Emperor Hui Chong's face was not good, Lord Xu stepped forward with courage and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the little guy brought back from the Jingguo Mansion, the ministers have already locked him up alone, and now that he is sober, can Your Majesty try it in person now?"

Zhou Yu'an stood beside Emperor Hui Chong, and when he heard this, he glanced up at Lord Xu.

"Bring it up!" Emperor Hui Chong's anger subsided a little, and he said in a deep voice, "Very good! This one from the Lu Mansion, who dared to break into the Jiang Mansion and assassinate the ministers of the four grades, is a repeat offender this time, I heard that these people are very similar, you have to watch him closely!"

Lord Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was grateful to Lu Yun in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, before the matter is clear, I promise not to let this person have anything happen to him in the edict!"

With that, he stood up and instructed the prison officer to bring up the little guy he had brought back from the Lu Mansion first.

Emperor Hui Chong sat condescendingly at the top and glanced at the little servant.

I saw that his eyes were dark, and he was an orthodox Daqi person, and as Lu Yun said, this person's appearance was very ordinary, and he belonged to the kind that could never be found in the pile, but somehow, this little guy was extremely pale, his lips were chapped, and he looked in good spirits.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Hui Chong frowned, pointed at him and asked Master Xu, "I heard that you just brought the prisoner back to the Imperial Prison, why did this person become like this?"

His subordinates abused capital punishment, but Emperor Hui Chong would not say anything, everyone had their own methods. But now I haven't asked anything, and this person is being tortured like this, which is really tireary!

Emperor Hui Chong's mind flashed, and he remembered Dong Shangde's old face.

The muscles on Lord Xu's face jumped, and he immediately stepped forward.

He didn't forget that Emperor Hui Chong's interrogation of Dong Shangde in the palace that day.

According to the steward of the Lu Mansion, since this person was arrested and brought to the Lu Mansion, he has not eaten or drunk, no matter how coaxed or hard poured him, this person has ignored all of them, and the desire to seek death is very strong. ”

Emperor Hui Chong's eyes were raised, he looked at the little guy who started his hand, and said with a smile: "You are loyal, judging by your appearance, you are also a great Qi person, I am really curious, who assigned you to come to Beijing to do fine work, and even disregarded your own life and death!"
