"Why bother with a subordinate."

Yao Zongwen walked out of the house, swept the fans of the East Factory with an expressionless face, and said: "What are you doing when the soldiers of the East Factory break into my house? If you can't say it, the official will come to your majesty and reason with you and punish you. ”

The fat head waved his hand behind him, and the rest of the people quickly separated, encircling Yao Zongwen into the human wall. "What are you going to do!" Yao Zongwen was shocked and angry.

"Now is not the time to shake the majesty, don't we know what we want to do? Dongchang comes to the door, do you have a good thing? Your thing is sent! ”

As soon as the fat man's words fell, the two fans behind him immediately stepped forward and held him down without waiting for Yao Zongwen to react.

It's simply humiliating him.

Yao Zongwen was furious, but the strength of one person was no match for Fanzi. He retorted, "What are you doing here? Let go of me, is it possible that the official will not be able to run? Let go, I'm an official of the imperial court! ”

The fat eunuch didn't have any expression on his face, but just waved his hand and said, "Lord Yao, there is no need to say this here, when we arrive at our East Factory, naturally someone will talk to Lord Yao." ”

As soon as the fat man waved his hand, two fans from Dongchang suddenly blocked Yao Zongwen's mouth with a pile of rags, and then pulled Yao Zongwen out, dragging him.

East Factory Prison.

In fact, there was no prison in the earliest East Factory, and the people arrested were all sent to Jinyiwei's edict, but over the years, Dongchang has already made up for this shortcoming, and the black prison in Dongchang is more frightening and more fearful than Jinyiwei's edict.

When Yao Zongwen was dragged into prison, there was already someone waiting for him here, and this person was naturally Wei Zhongxian.

After seeing Yao Zongwen, Wei Zhongxian smiled, glanced at a few fans, and said angrily: "How can you treat our Lord Yao like this?" Don't let it go yet. ”

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, a few fans who pressed Yao Zongwen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly let Yao Zongwen go, Yao Zongwen took off the rags stuffed in his mouth and looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Father-in-law Wei, I don't know what Yao has done?" Why did Yao come to this east factory? ”

Wei Zhongxian immediately smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone impeached Lord Yao for framing Xiong Tingbi, and the emperor asked the slaves and maids to investigate, and we slaves and maids naturally dare not slack off." ”

"Framing Xiong Tingbi?" Yao Zongwen's heart suddenly became timid, in Xiong Tingbi's matter, he was naturally weak-hearted, but can this be admitted?

Yao Zongwen turned his heart sideways, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "Father-in-law Wei, I'm afraid that the matter of investigating Xiong Tingbi is fake, and this revenge for Yao's impeachment of you is true, right?" Father-in-law Wei, you are a communiqué personal vendetta. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's face immediately sank, and his smile slowly converged: "You and I both understand the situation in Liaodong, at this time, participating in the impeachment of the border generals, at worst, it is a personal grudge, regardless of the overall situation. If it is said in a big way, it is a collaborator with the enemy and a traitor. ”

Cold sweat brushed the ground all over his back, Yao Zongwen was shocked, and he still wanted to say something.

"You are not the only one who participated in the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, but Lord Yao participated in the impeachment without evidence, so it can be said that he was framed. Framing the border general, Lord Yao, do you know what the crime is? As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian laughed, "Do you know who impeached you in front of the emperor?" That's right, it's our family. ”

Yao Zongwen's gaze at Wei Zhongxian was full of hatred, but he closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.

It is actually a very small crime to frame the border general, and if Wei Zhongxian proposes to His Majesty that he Yao Zongwen collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, then he can only admit it. But even if it is framing the border general, His Majesty is unhappy and is accused of raiding his family and destroying the door, and he is really finished this time.

Looking at the silent Yao Zongwen, Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "Yao Zongwen, it seems that this will not give you a little means, you are afraid that you will not be recruited, but it doesn't matter, our family has time." ”

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, ignored Yao Zongwen, who was stiff with fright, and directly ordered: "Take Master Yao down and let him taste the methods of our Dongchang." ”

"Yes, father-in-law!" A fan agreed, and several people pressed Yao Zongwen and walked into the prison.

The Dongchang Yamen was still so gloomy, Wei Zhongxian's face was gloomy and terrifying, the cold light in his eyes kept flashing, and he was pacing back and forth thinking about something.

After a while, he was tired, sat on the chair, held the teacup expressionlessly, and after taking a sip, Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the emperor is really dissatisfied with these people. The emperor used Xiong Tingbi, so obviously he regretted removing Xiong Tingbi, so these people who impeached Xiong Tingbi coaxed the emperor and took advantage of the emperor's ignorance when he first ascended the throne.

Now that the emperor is in order, he can't admit that he was fooled, so he has to do it himself, thinking that the emperor agreed lightly, Wei Zhongxian knew that he had guessed right.

When things come to this point, it will naturally be easy to do, let Yao Zongwen speak, as long as he opens his mouth, then let him climb and bite, who should start with the goal? The Zuodu Imperial History and the Military Department Shangshu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, these two people seem to be quite suitable, and all those imperial envoys who impeach themselves are all involved in him and make a big case.

Why did these people frame Xiong Tingbi, this is up to Yao Zongwen to give himself a reason, but asking for a bribe should be a good crime, no matter what, there will be a few more charges when the time comes.

In the torture chamber, a pot of charcoal was burning brightly, crackling from time to time, and a soldering iron was caught in the edge of the brazier.

On the walls around the room were various torture instruments such as sticks and whips. There are terrifying torture tools such as tiger chairs and dog heads.

At this time, a messenger took out a roll of cotton thread, looked at the person tied to the wooden shelf, and said in a sinister manner: "Lord Yao, Duke Wei has sent a message to let us try you as soon as possible, but seeing that you are not cooperative, we have to use this." As he spoke, he tied Yao Zongwen's fingers and toes away with a thin rope.

At this time, Yao Zongwen looked like a guzheng suspended in the air, and the rope tied to it was the "zither string".

Yao Zongwen, who couldn't move, knew in his heart that this was a terrifying torture in the East Factory - rat playing a kite. He's gambling, betting that he'll be able to resist it.

"Lord Yao, the miscellaneous family kindly reminds you that this rat playing the kite is not something ordinary people can bear!" Seeing that Yao Zongwen was silent like a dead dog, the messenger was ruthless and beat the tight string with a wooden stick to make it make a "boom" sound.

For the first time, Yao Zongwen's cold sweat instantly spread all over his body.

The second time, his teeth bit a piece of flesh off his lip.

The third time, the little finger was dislocated, Yao Zongwen was sweating profusely, and began to wail.

"Ahh One after another screams came from the torture room to Wei Zhongxian's ears, and he sneered: "Some people, toast and don't eat and drink. ”

After a while, the errand officer ran to Wei Zhongxian in a hurry: "Duke, recruit!" ”

"Good!" Wei Zhongxian's face showed joy, turned around and walked towards the cell, and said loudly: "Go, go over and have a look." ”
