Chapter 235: Holding vines and picking melons

The prison cells were already overcrowded.

Under the tireless and tireless work of many shrewd, capable, and experienced prosecutors led by Jun Xiachen, the rebellious comrades fell into the legal net one after another.

The guards in the inner palace, the ministers in the court, the officials who returned to their hometowns, the heads of the prefectures, counties, and even the generals at all levels in the army were constantly arrested into the Broken Soul Gate, and the rebels who had only been arrested now could no longer be stuffed into their cells, so they had to vacate the row of houses behind the west wing of the Taiwan Prison to store firewood, charcoal, office utensils and other miscellaneous items, and used them as a place to hold prisoners.

However, there are still a few cells in the prison that are very relaxed, and these cells are of course where the prime ministers are held. In the beginning, these prime ministers were divided into separate custodys, but the cells in the prison became more and more tight, and these prime ministers were the focus of care, and if they were separated, everyone needed to be guarded, so their cells were moved closer again.

However, they have confessed their sins, and the king also believes that they have confessed their sins, and in the eyes of Jun Xiachen, these people are already waiting for death, and it is impossible to turn the sky upside down, so they don't care much about locking them up now.

Judge Jiang Mengwei roamed back and forth outside Guan Bo's cell, many times, he looked at the cell where Guan Bo was being held, as if he wanted to say something, and finally lowered his head and walked away with a heavy heart. Uncle Guan sat cross-legged in the prison, eating his lunch slowly, as if he hadn't paid attention to anything, but Jiang Mengji's expression of wanting to speak and stopping was seen in his eyes without leaking.

According to the prison system, prisoners' food and drink are sent to the prison by their families. This law was originally enacted to prevent some poor people from treating prisons as charities and deliberately committing crimes in order to eat in prison, but there is still a habit of mercy for prisoners in the historical tradition. If the prisoner does not have any family members, then the prison is required to provide food, but the quality of the meals can be imagined.

These detainees are all prime ministers, so naturally there are family members who deliver food, and it is impossible for the family members to let them eat the unpalatable prisoners, but when their family members bring in food, they will be subject to a hundred times stricter inspection than ordinary prisoners.

Uncle Guan was full. took out another water bottle and poured a bowl of water, drinking it slowly, at this time Jiang Mengji went out for a walk and came back. kept walking around Uncle Guan's cell, as if he was patrolling the cell, but his eyes kept looking at Uncle Guan.

Jiang Mengjie is not a close confidant of Jun Xiachen, he is from the right path. Kindergarten to learn the law. After years of hard work, he got to the position of judge, and now he saw that others were easily promoted by constantly digging out the accomplices of the traitorous party, and Jiang Mengji was very hot.

But most of the officials who can let go of the trial have been divided up by Jun Xiachen's subordinates, and the task given to him by Jun Xiachen is to watch these prime ministers and not let others contact them. It's not something he can judge at all.

Guan Bo, Wu Sizhu, and Li Xingzhi are all extremely popular figures. The head of a hundred officials, the prestige they have cultivated over the years, every move and even a look can give people great coercion, and the royal historians who are ruffians and hooligans under Jun Xiachen may not realize this, but he, an official who has climbed up step by step from a small official, will never ignore it, and the kind of coercion formed because of class has penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Seeing that others were promoted one after another, Jiang Mengji was about to move, and figured out that several prime ministers under his care also found out a few traitorous comrades, he was not young, if he didn't seize this opportunity, it would be difficult to be promoted in the future, he didn't want to give up this opportunity, but he really didn't know how to start.

After some thought, he set his goal on Uncle Guan, who has a nickname in the officialdom, called Old Fox, Old Fox means smart, and smart people like to trade with people the most, smart people have many eyes, and people with many eyes are always less determined than simple and simple people.

When the three prime ministers were interrogated for the first time that day, Guan Bo was the first to admit his guilt, which just confirmed his analysis, so he pinned the opportunity for promotion on Guan Bo, just thinking about it, when he really walked in front of Guan Bo, he still couldn't raise the courage.

Uncle Guan drank water, quietly observed his actions, suddenly coughed, and said calmly: Judge Jiang, the old man has already eaten, please take out the rice basket for me.

Yes? Good, good!

Judge Jiang hurriedly came to the front of the prison door, Uncle Guan lifted the basket, handed it out from the dining door, suddenly muttered, dusted off the placket, and said: The old man's court clothes are still the new robes he just received at the beginning of the year, you see, now he is wearing all folds, and it is stained with mud, it is a pity, please take it back with you, ask my family to wash it well, and send me a few lighter clothes tomorrow, this prison is hot and humid, it is really uncomfortable.

Ok, good, good! Guan Xiang is wearing this court dress, and it is indeed not very convenient to sit and lie down!

Jiang Mengji finally talked to him, and hurriedly agreed, Uncle Guan took off his clothes slowly and handed them to him, Jiang Mengji took the clothes, lifted the basket, and said to Uncle Guan politely: Guan Xiang, I'll send it out!

Guan Bo smiled slightly, and said in a calm voice: There is Judge Lao Jiang.

Li Xingzhi and Wu Sizhu were locked in the cells on the left and right sides of Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan and Jiang Mengji's answer, both of them saw it in their eyes, and as soon as Jiang Mengji left, the two quickly approached Uncle Guan's cell, and said excitedly: Guan Gong, you are still scheming, you can do this!

It turned out that yesterday when the jailer was unprepared, Uncle Guan tore off a piece of underwear, bit his finger, wrote something on it, and then pretended to rest, lying with his back to the prison door, as long as the jailer was not in front of the prison, he used a hairpin to pick up the thread of the court suit, and finally stuffed the blood book into it, and it took a long time to smooth it, and flatten the disassembled silk thread, and finally it seemed that the robe was fine.

These things took him a whole afternoon, and the two prime ministers who were locked in his left and right cells could see clearly from the fence wall, and Guan Bo's actions naturally couldn't hide from them, so Guan Bo and Jiang Mengji answered. The nervous hearts of the two of them were raised to their throats, and it was not until Jiang Mengji went out that the two of them were ecstatic.

Uncle Guan's expression was still very calm. He sighed softly and sighed: There are more and more people arrested by Junxiachen, and the more people there are, the more it seems to be like that, the emperor's taboo is nothing more than rebellion, not only one Junxia is here to stir up trouble and rain. There are also the princes of the Tian family, even if they don't come forward, they will take this opportunity to instruct them to tell the queen about right and wrong. I'm worried that they will do it together, and the queen will be old, if she doesn't forget to think deeply. At this point, I'm afraid I have already believed it.

Uncle Guan lightly brushed his beard. Said worriedly: Although the blood book has been sent out, I don't know if it can be found by my family, if my family finds it, will there be a chance to send it to the emperor, if not, we will not even have the last chance of life, and now, we can only do our best. Resignation to destiny......

……

At this time, Jun Xiachen was personally trying Cai Huxiao, the vanguard officer of the Southern Army, and Cai Huxiao was handcuffed with iron shackles on his feet. His hands were also wrapped in chains, and he was escorted to the lobby, and the two compartments immediately drank the standing hall wei: wei...... Military......

The stick slammed to the ground, shaking the ground slightly, which made people panic when they heard it, Cai Huxiao is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he has seen all the swords and swords, where will he put this bit of momentum in his eyes, he stood there steadily, staring at Jun Xiachen and only sneering slightly.

Jun Xiachen slapped the shocked wood and shouted: The criminal minister Cai Hu roared, don't kneel down yet!

Cai Huxiao pursed his mouth and said proudly: Ben Shuai crisscrossed the battlefield, and made countless contributions to the country, this great country, there is a credit for Ben Shuai, thinking that the bloodthirsty Chu Manzi is also defeated under the blade of Ben Shuai, what are you, in terms of merit, it is not as good as a certain case; In terms of official position, there is also a big difference, a certain unjustly imprisoned, what is the crime, why do you kneel to you, the villain who can only flatter the horse?

Jun Xiachen has arrested so many people, and he has never seen one so arrogant, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: Cai Huxiao, this official is ordered to try you, you are a criminal official, you are guilty of rebellion, and you dare to roar in court, so arrogant? If you don't admit your guilt, the official will be punished for a long time!"

Jun Xia Chen gave an order, and his subordinates rumbled up those strange-shaped, blood-stained torture instruments again. Cai Huxiao didn't even look at it, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said coldly: Who doesn't know the notoriety of your handsome ministers? If you want to judge the handsome, you can! But you Yushitai, Ben Shuai can't believe it! It is necessary to judge the marshal, unless the three divisions will be tried......

After Cai Huxiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the hall, and as he walked, he said coldly: When the officials of the three divisions are all here, please invite Ben Shuai to the hall!

Jun Xia Chen's whole body trembled, he thought he was crazy enough, but he didn't expect to meet a person who was even more arrogant than him on his territory, Jun Xia Chen slapped a piece of startling wood and roared loudly: Come on! Take down Cai Huxiao for me, and the big punishment is waiting!

Who dares!

Cai Hu roared with leopard eyes wide open, and shouted loudly, bluffing the deacons who had just come up to retreat suddenly, and Jun Xiachen shouted angrily when he saw this: You waste, he is tied to his hands and feet, a waste person, what are you afraid of, take it! Take him down for me, and torture him!

Jun Xiachen reminded those deacons in a word, they suddenly rushed up again, Cai Huxiao and the deacons fought, but his hands were tied, the shackles were short, and he couldn't even take a big step, at first he knocked away a few deacons with his bravery, and then he was beaten down by a stick on his head and face, and his head was bleeding, and his hair was scattered, so that he was not wolf.

Cai Huxiao, as the chief general of the first army, was so humiliated by a group of lowly deputies, he was so angry that he was bloody, and shouted violently: This handsome man is fighting to the death, and today he will get rid of you traitor for the court!

Cai Hu turned around violently, bumped into several deacons, and went straight to Jun Xiachen, who was sitting behind the judgment seat, and Jun Xiachen saw that he was angry and rushed to the crown, like a fierce tiger, and his heart was also empty, so he hurriedly left his seat, and shouted while dodging: Idiot! It's all a bunch of idiots, so stop him yet!

There was a sudden chaos in the court, Jun Xiachen was all over the house, Cai Huxiao then chased after him, and a bunch of servants chased behind Cai Huxiao's buttocks, and the sticks were beaten down like a torrential rain, Cai Huxiao didn't care, just gritted his teeth and chased after Jun Xiachen.

Jun Xiachen fled around the silent card and the evasion card, constantly shouting: Cai Hu has no king's law, and wants to assassinate the chief judge in the court. Don't give me a knife to kill him! Kill him for me!

The saber guards guarding in front of the hall saw Jun Xiachen's order, and immediately broke into the court, Wei Suizhong snatched the knife from the hand of one of the guards, chased Cai Huxiao with an arrow, and slashed it fiercely, Cai Huxiao screamed, and was stabbed in the back, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

Cai Huxiao only stared at Jun Xiachen at this time, and ignored the rest, and continued to chase after the pain. After chasing two steps, his steps were a little bigger, and he was pulled by the iron shackles under his feet. He almost fell to the ground, when another guard took the opportunity to stab him again, nearly cutting off one of his arms.

Those saber guards moved, regardless of whether he was the commander of the first army or not, just cut down the knife in his hand like a cloak, just a moment of effort, and cut Cai Huxiao into a bloody man, Cai Huxiao was covered in blood, his eyes wanted to breathe fire, he glared at Jun Xia Chen, and roared angrily at the crown: Jun Xia Chen! Ben Shuai can't wait to eat Er's flesh and drink Er's blood!

He kicked his feet and jerked himself out of place, using himself as a weapon, and threw a spear at Jun Xiachen, and seven or eight wind and fire sticks were forked in front of him. He grabbed his arms and slammed them back to form a net of sticks, which struck him in the air and could no longer move.

Jun Xiachen pointed at him and shouted: Kill him! Kill him for me!

A deacon cautiously approached and looked, only to see Cai Huxiao being put on a stick, still maintaining the posture of rushing forward, his body was motionless, although his eyes were round, but he had lost his charm, the deacon tried Cai Huxiao's breathing again, and turned around to report: Zhongcheng, he is dead!

Jun Xiachen exhaled a breath, straightened his official hat, tidied up his official robe, and said hatefully: It's good to be dead! It's good to be dead! This Cai Huxiao is lawless, attacking the presiding judge above the court, you have all seen it! Get the corpse out! Mention the next prisoner!

……

Sun Huahua, the leading lieutenant, was escorted to the lobby, and when she saw the blood all over the ground, her legs became weak.

He already knew that the general Cai Huxiao was slashed alive by Jun Xiachen, and after Cai Huxiao, it was Fan Yunxian, the head of the inner chamberlain, who was arraigned for interrogation, Fan Yunxian served the former king, and he didn't take Jun Xiachen in his eyes at all, and as soon as he came to the court, he endlessly listed the grievances he had suffered and the merits he had made.

Jun Xiachen was just made disgraced by Cai Huxiao, full of anger, how could he listen to his ramblings, and slapped two shocking trees in a row, but he still couldn't make Fan Yunxian shut up, Jun Xiachen was so angry that he simply ordered someone to cut off his tongue. Even the general dared to slash and kill in front of the court, would he care about an outdated palace slave.

Sun Huahua, who was squatting in the waiting room, saw Cai Huxiao being hacked to death and Fan Yunxian having his tongue cut out, and she was already bluffed. (To be continued......)
