Chapter 231: To See or Not to See?

Jun Xiachen stared at Ouyang Xin with a cold gaze, and with a wave of his hand, a large group of officials immediately carried dozens of strange-shaped, blood-stained torture instruments up to the lobby.

Jun Xia Chen slowly stood up from his seat and shouted: "I am ordered to try a major case of rebellion." The evidence of your crimes is conclusive, irrefutable, and you can confess obediently, and you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin, otherwise, this official should take a look, who can afford the wear and tear of these torture instruments of your flesh and blood!

Ouyang Zhen's temperament is old and ginger, he can't stand him like such a threat, he was so angry for a while, and shouted loudly: The old man is innocent and innocent! Jun Xiachen, you scoundrel, don't you want to bend into a trick?

Jun Xia Chen smiled and said: Guilty or not, I know after the trial, someone is coming......

Wait!

Guan Bo suddenly took a step forward and stopped Jun Xiachen's order, he slowly turned around, stared at the other people who were escorted to the lobby with deep meaning, and then turned to face Jun Xiachen and said: The Great Qi Revolution, the restoration of all things, the old ministers of the Jiang family, willing to be killed, but it is true!

Jun Xiachen blinked, and said in surprise: Uncle Guan, you ...... Pleaded guilty?

Uncle Guan nodded and said in a deep voice: Not bad! Guan pleaded guilty!

Ouyang Zhen and the others all looked at Uncle Guan in surprise, but Li Xingzhi and Wu Sizhu thought about it for a while and vaguely understood Uncle Guan's intentions.

Uh......, good! All right! Those who know the times are junjie, and Guan Gong is really a masterpiece of a generation!

Jun Xia Chen laughed twice, then turned to Li Xingzhi, and asked with a smile: Li Xingzhi, do you plead guilty?

Li Xingzhi hesitated slightly, and also said: A certain confession!

Jun Xia courtier Dale, the Chinese martial arts fear his fierce name. As soon as he showed his torture tools, he encountered the matter of obediently confessing without waiting for torture, but even the prime minister was frightened like this, and he obediently left himself at the mercy of torture without waiting for torture. This is the first time, Jun Xia Chen turned to Wu Sizhu excitedly and asked: Wu Xianggong, what do you say?

Wu Sizhu glanced at Guan Bo deeply, and arched his hand: The Great Qi Revolution, the restoration of all things, the old ministers of the Jiang family. Willing to be killed, it is true!

Jun Xia Chen looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: Okay! Just confess your sins! Since the three prime ministers have confessed. That official doesn't care about himself! Ahem, have their statements been recorded?

The scribe who was writing at the desk hurriedly wrote down the last few words, raised his head and said to Jun Xiachen: Yes! The lowly position has been written.

Jun Xia Chen said: Okay! Tell them to draw a prison and take them back to the prison first. Let's review it later!

A group of officials drew the detainment. was taken into prison, and the servant Shi Hou Sizhi was a confidant of Junxia's ministers, and when he saw the ministers being escorted down, he was puzzled and said: Zhongcheng! It's rare for them to confess so briskly, why don't they strike while the iron is hot and find out their comrades, how did they end it hastily?

Jun Xia Chen smiled and said: Stupid! Are you really that easy to deal with this old fox? He pleaded guilty. It's just that I know that my official's criminal law is powerful, and I don't want to suffer for no reason. Again. probably also hopes that the official will see him confess and relax his supervision, so as to find an opportunity to save himself. The official didn't give him this chance! With this handwritten transcript of the preliminary trial, it is enough.

Hou Sizhi said: Uncle Guan's confession is very article, what did he say, 'The Great Qi Revolution, the Restoration of All Things, the old ministers of the Jiang family, willing to be killed', this is clearly talking about the establishment of the Great Qi and the cleaning of the old ministers of the Jiang family, implying that he was unjustifiably wronged, and then there was a sentence of what kind of rebellion is true, such a confession of the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, with the shrewdness of the king, wouldn't it be doubtful to read it!

Jun Xiachen smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said: Yes, Lao Hou, you are very shrewd! I'm afraid that this old fox is doing exactly this, hmph, how can this official do what he wants! Erase this sentence from the confession, and leave only the sentence 'it is true'!

Hou Sizhi said: This, is it true? How did they rebel and how were they going to force the palace? When and where the plan was made, and who participated in the action, these things are not explained clearly, and there is no detailed confession, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it in front of the king!

Jun Xia Chen said: Guan Bo, Li Xingzhi, and Wu Sizhu are the prime ministers, and their power positions are too high, and they can't be punished heavily, and they don't need heavy punishments. Let's first throw these hard bones aside and start to open the gap from those little people.

Hou Sizhi said happily: Zhongcheng is high-minded, and he understands his humble duties!

Lai Qichen smiled and said: However, you judge Ouyang Zhen's old guy so much that you can move!

Hou Sizhi said: Yes!

Jun Xiachen said to Judge Jiang Mengjie again: You have shown me those three old guys, especially Uncle Guan. Back then, he was the chief official of Dali Temple, and now his old subordinates are scattered, all over the prison yamen, and there is no old department of him in my Yushitai, you keep an eye on it, don't let these people spread the word out, collude inside and outside, and retract confessions!

Jiang Mengji hurriedly said: Yes!

Jun Xia Chen gave an order, waved them to retreat, leaving only his henchman Wei Suizhong alone, and said: Suizhong, you go to interrogate those little minions, if you don't recruit them, you will wait with a big punishment, and you must pry open their mouths and recruit their comrades. In the meantime, help me bite two people in.

Wei Suizhong hurriedly pricked up his ears, and Jun Xia said: These two people, one is the secretary Chen Shen, my house is a little smaller, and on the right is Yishui, there is no way to expand, his house is close to my mansion, and it looks good.

Wei Suizhong smiled knowingly and asked, "What about the other one?"

Jun Xiachen licked his lips lightly, and said slowly: Do you remember, the innocent little daughter-in-law Yao'er I asked you to check?

A cold light flashed in Wei Suizhong's eyes, and he bowed down and said: I understand the humble position, within three days, these two people will definitely be arrested and handed over to Zhongcheng for disposal! Hehe......

Hahaha......

……

Judge Jiang Mengjie escorted a group of prisoners into Taiwan Prison, and the magistrate Tan Fang hurriedly came forward when he heard the news, the so-called magistrate is the head of the prison officials, Tan Fang's name is very weak and elegant, but the interrogation methods are quite cold. Tan Fang humbly smiled at Jiang Mengjian and said: What kind of crime is this, how can you actually send it to your master in person.

Jiang Mengji pulled him aside and commanded in a low voice: These people are all rebellious repeat offenders! You watch carefully. Don't go wrong!

Rebellion?

Tan Fang smiled, still not caring. Over the years, prisoners have been imprisoned in Taiwan. Which is not a crime of treason? There are those who really plot rebellion, and there are those who pretend to rebel, anyway, they all signed and drew the charge, confessed their guilt, and cut off their heads in the end. It doesn't matter if there is a sin or not, or what sin it is!

Jiang Mengji saw his appearance and reminded again: Have you seen it? Those three old men are the three prime ministers of Guan Bo, Wu Sizhu, and Li Xingzhi, who are plotting rebellion and rebellion. It's all different, you have to be extra careful!

Tan Fang glanced at the three criminals, smiled, and still didn't care. What magnates got here. It's just a dog at his mercy. Prime minister? When the prime minister arrives here, he is only a prisoner. I think that those more noble princesses were not also in the hands of Lao Tzu.

A few years ago, a commander of the border army who was an official general was imprisoned for something, and he was lucky not to die, so he was spared from being guilty, and after he was released from prison, the first thing he said to his relatives and subordinates who greeted him was: I have tried to serve a million soldiers, but I know the value of prison officials!

No matter how honorable the power, status. When he entered the prison, he was called by the jailers. tortured like a lost dog, although Tan Fang is just a small official who doesn't even have a grade, but in this prison for so many years, the princes and generals have seen a lot, and they really don't take these prime ministers seriously.

Seeing that he still didn't think so, Jiang Mengji said sternly: Don't be careless, be careful to ask them to make confessions, and then turn over the case. Zhongcheng attaches great importance to these people and specially orders them to come down. The three prime ministers, Guan Bo, Wu Sizhu, and Li Xingzhi, were detained separately, each placed in a cell, and were strictly guarded. Except at the time of Zhongcheng's arraignment, no one other than me is allowed to contact them, understand?

Tan Fang saw that his expression was stern, so he became more solemn, and said busily: Brother Jiang, rest assured, the younger brother must arrange carefully, uh...... There are still a lot of vacant cells in the prison, why don't you place all of them separately to prevent them from colluding with each other?

Jiang Mengji said coldly: No need, just place the three prime ministers separately! I'm afraid this cell ...... Soon it will not be enough!

Tan Fang's heart suddenly burst into joy when he heard this, it seems that there are many ministers who will be unlucky, the more people who are imprisoned, the more benefits he can reap. Tan Fang glanced at the ministers again, as if he saw a cash cow, with brilliant gold on it, decorated with pure gold coins, Tan Fang smiled again, and smiled happily.

On the other side, while they were talking, Ouyang Zhen said angrily to Guan Bo: Guan Gong, Ouyang Zhen is loyal to the imperial court, and has never had the intention of rebellion.

Guan Bodao: Since we have fallen into the hands of Jun Xiachen, we cannot but admit our guilt. Rebellion is the taboo of the Son of Heaven, even if Jun Xia's ministers have a heart, serve us with great punishment, and even take our lives, even if the Son of Heaven does not like it, but he will not be guilty of him, in this case, why should you and I force him to jump off the wall in a hurry.

Ouyang said sincerely: Don't listen to his nonsense, if you confess your crimes, you can avoid death. All along, if anyone who conspires against him is forgiven for his capital crimes, we will inevitably die when we confess our sins!

Li Xingzhi sighed and said: Zhongcheng, I am old, even if Jun Xia does not want to torture and kill us, I am afraid that this body will not be able to bear the ordinary punishment. Guan Gong is right, we just don't admit our mistakes, we are still a death, only by admitting our guilt, and keeping this useful body for the time being, there may be a glimmer of life!

Wu Sizhu said dejectedly: The old man also understands what Guan Gong means, if we want to escape, unless we have the opportunity to go up to heaven and tell the king about the grievances. It's just that I'm now in Sensentai Prison, how can I still have a chance to hear about the king?

Uncle Guan glanced at Jiang Mengji, Jiang Mengji instructed Tan Fang, just turned around, Uncle Guan immediately lowered his voice and said hurriedly: There is only one line of vitality, and the only way to act is to see the opportunity!

Jiang Fang received a solemn order, and registered them, recorded their names, surnames, official positions, prison periods and other information, and then placed them separately, the three doctors were each in a cell, far away from each other, and the others were locked in the same cell.

In order to prevent prisoners from escaping from prison, committing murder, and committing suicide, torture instruments are to be applied to prisoners. There are four main types of prison equipment in Daqi, flail, twist, tongs, and gong, each of which is divided into long and short weights, so as to treat prisoners with different identities, different ages, different physiques, and different crimes.

The flail is the kind of wooden flail that binds the head, neck and hands, and when you wear this kind of torture instrument, you can't lie down, and your head, neck and hands are also miserable after sitting there for a long time. Twist is a prison tool that binds hands; The pincer is a kind of iron hoop that binds the neck, and the other end is tied to the prison bed with an iron chain, and the prisoner ties this iron hoop like a guard dog tied to the door. And the shackles are the shackles, which are mainly used to tie the feet and necks and restrain his freedom.

Only prisoners under the age of 10 or over the age of 80 may be released without the use of torture equipment. None of the three big men in Taiwan Prison are over 80 years old, but the officials have committed capital crimes, and they are also treated differently by class.

The so-called imprisonment is nothing more than that.

……

Tian Qiniang stayed awake all night after hurriedly avoiding Hongluan Pavilion last night, such a major case of rebellion, it is impossible to say that she is not nervous. Tian Qiniang was in a worried mood, sleepless all night, and waited until dawn to urgently arrange arrest and adjustment, and carry out a series of aftermath matters, which is really not something that an old woman over sixty years old can bear.

By the time Tian Qiniang returned to the main hall, she was already exhausted.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by the scene in the morning, and finally the dust settled, but the king still did not summon them, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty did not know what to do, so they gathered in front of the noon gate and discussed urgently, and decided to meet the Son of Heaven by the six palaces and nine qing, and asked about the passage.

They knocked on the door to complain, and after the news was sent to the main hall, Tian Qiniang ordered not to see any of them, she only summoned Tian Youyi, learned about the latest situation, and made some adjustments to the important positions in the guard and forbidden army of the palace, the royal city, and the capital, and then went to the harem to rest by Tuan'er.

Although she still has a lot of things to do now, the years are unforgiving, she really can't support it, and she can only grasp the most urgent things to arrange.

The king neither went to the court nor took care of the government, and the Manchu Dynasty did not see any civil and military affairs, so Pei Kun naturally had nothing to do, so he sent Tian Qiniang to the dormitory to rest, and Pei Kun also returned to his residence.

Pei Su is clean, bathe at least twice a day, especially before going to bed, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well. After returning to his residence, Pei Kun first bathed in fragrant soup, changed into light clothes, and went to rest on the couch.

The depths of this palace are already cool, and there is a flute and bamboo mat under him, which is warm and moist into the jade, very comfortable, and after a while, Pei Kun fell asleep.

In accordance with Tian Qiniang's arrangement, the two brothers, Tian Youyi and Tian Youji, sent their cronies to take over important departments, strengthen the defense of the capital, adjust the positions and responsibilities of some forbidden army generals, and gradually stabilize by the afternoon.

Yao'er had already gotten the news, knowing that the big boss-level Guan Bo had been arrested and imprisoned, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered, the most important thing at this time was to inquire about good things, and the best person was the gentle and jade-like "Bead Curtain Prime Minister", but ...... Yao'er hesitated, and unconsciously walked towards the history museum where Pei Kun was.

The two had not seen each other for several days. (To be continued......)
