Chapter 229: Kusi Prison
"Hey, hey, what are you doing when you climb in? Will you be able to catch the thief by crawling in? Even if you catch the thief, will you be able to climb out? Wu Miaoshan saw Yao Yu pouting his ass and wanted to climb into the hole, so he said with a smile.
The entrance to the cave is so small that only one person can enter or exit.
"So what do you say? If you don't do it sooner, let the rest of the thieves get in... Hearing this, Yao Yu withdrew from the cave, patted the dirt on his body, and complained.
"The small ones have their own way, let them come out one by one, throw themselves into the net, and none of them can escape." Wu Miaoshan said with a smile.
"What can you do?" Yao Yu asked unconvinced.
"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!" Wu Miaoshan replied.
"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" When Li Sanjian heard this, he said to Wu Miaoshan: "Stop talking nonsense, Wu Zhutou, hurry up." ”
The meaning of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is to tell the tomb robbers who enter the cave that you have been found and surrounded, and it is the best policy to come out and surrender quickly.
It is also possible that the tomb robbers who enter the cave do not know what is going on outside, so it is better to quit.
Although Li Sanjian didn't understand what Wu Miaoshan's method was to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, he presumably the method of arresting Wu Miaoshan, who was experienced in thieves, must have an effect, in order not to delay the time and let the thieves who entered the cave have a chance to escape, so Li Sanjian ordered.
"The little one obeys." Wu Miaoshan glanced at Li Sanjian gratefully, and then ordered his subordinates to quickly carry a few long logs over.
"Hit the tomb and shake them out." Wu Miaoshan then said.
Hearing this, Shan Kui and Xu Biao took the government to catch quickly, and the archers carried the wood and kept hitting the cemetery above the cave, making one sound after another, and the soil above the cave also fell down.
"I said you should be careful, I broke the cemetery, and I asked you." Seeing this, Li Sanjian ordered angrily.
This is the cemetery of the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, if they collapse and then be added to a copy by their descendants, Li Sanjian and others will not be able to eat and walk around.
The charge of disrespecting the late ruling minister will inevitably lay on Li Sanjian's head.
"Don't worry." Hearing this, Wu Miaoshan replied confidently: "The little one ordered them to hit them in a real place, and they can't collapse." ”
Li Sanjian felt a little relieved when he heard this.
Shan Kui, Xu Biao and the government officials caught fast, and the archers carried the striking wood and kept hitting the cemetery, making a deafening sound, not only the movement outside was loud, but it was estimated that it could also be felt inside the cave.
It's just that after a half-bang, none of the tomb robbers crawled out, and the catchers and archers who were guarding the entrance of the cave with blades and shackles looked at each other.
Does it work? Everyone was skeptical, including Li Sanjian.
"Haha" Yao Yu laughed when he saw this: "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to come out, and I would definitely open a hole again and escape." Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger? The mountain also knocked, and the tiger shook, but the tiger slipped away... ”
"Can't run!" Wu Miaoshan saw Yao Yu's gloating expression, so he immediately retorted: "Reopen the hole? Where is it so easy? The soil here is relatively solid, and it is not easy to open a hole, and it is impossible to open it without one or two days of effort. ”
"Then I won't be able to come out alive or dead, so I'll stay in the tomb and see what happens to you?" Yao Yu said with a smile.
The punishment of thieves and thieves in the Song Dynasty was extremely harsh, and they were hanged, beheaded, and abandoned at every turn.
Such a theft of the cemetery of the Great Song Dynasty is definitely not a light crime.
Therefore, what Yao Yu said is not unreasonable, anyway, it is all death, it is better to die in the tomb, and it is also buried in the ground...
"Then pour water and force them out." Wu Miaoshan then said.
"Irrigation? Haha, be careful to collapse someone's cemetery. Yao Yu said with a smile.
"yes? How can irrigation work? Li Sanjian also asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about the officials." Wu Miaoshan replied calmly: "The cemetery here is made of clay and solid bricks, where will it collapse?" As long as we control it properly, there will be no such serious consequences. ”
"That's very good." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "If the minister's cemetery is damaged, we will definitely be impeached." ”
"Washed away, washed away coffins, burial goods, see how you respond?" Yao Yu still said unconvinced.
"The coffins are all sealed with bricks, where is it easy to be damaged? Besides, the cave dug by the thieves has not yet reached the place where the coffin was found. Wu Miaoshan retorted.
"How do you know where you haven't dug up the coffin?" Yao Yu snorted.
"It's out, it's out."
"Lock it up quickly, don't run away from anyone."
"Haha, this is really a turtle in an urn!"
While the two were arguing incessantly, the crowd of hunters and archers guarding the mouth of the cave let out a burst of cheers. Wonderful Pen Court
When Li Sanjian and the others heard this, they hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see one by one tomb robbers crawling out of the cave with gray faces and pale faces.
All the tomb robbers who entered the cave were arrested.
"Haha, take it!" Li Sanjian laughed and said: "Wu Zhutou has made a great contribution, and this official will reward you well." ”
"How dare you be rewarded for your small work?" Wu Miaoshan replied with a smile.
。。。。。。。。。。
Li Sanjian, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, ignored the heat of summer and the mosquito bites at night, and personally led a team to capture the tomb robbers who stole the cemetery of Prime Minister Song Zai, which made the descendants of Chen Xinghua very grateful.
You must know that there are not a few descendants of Chen Xinghua who are officials in the court at this time.
Li Sanjian cracked the tomb robbery case, a heavy blow to the arrogance of the recent tomb robbers, after the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture Lu Changheng invited the imperial court, he wanted to commend him, and the descendants of Chen Xinghua also wanted to come to the door to thank him, but he couldn't find anyone, I don't know where Li Sanjian went?
。。。。。。。。
"Push the official to face the face, please." Zheng Fangqi, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, saw that the "No. 2 person" of the government government came to the prison in person, so he opened the prison door and welcomed Li Sanjian and others in.
"Well, this is the first case that this official has supervised since he took office, so this official wants to judge it personally." Li Sanjian put his hands on the jade belt tied to the crimson official robe, crossed his waist and said.
"The officials and the ministers did it themselves, and the little ones admired it very much." Zheng Fangqi said with a sneer.
So that's the case, Zheng Fangqi secretly said in his heart, it turned out that he wanted to make some achievements for himself and some capital to move officials.
Li Sanjian personally led the team to capture the tomb robbers, and at the same time wanted to break out of prison in person, at that time, Zheng Fangqi and others were still wondering, and they really thought that his family's ancestral grave had been dug up, and now Zheng Fangqi and others suddenly realized.
"Well, lead the way." Li Sanjian glanced at the prison and said.
The tomb robbers who stole Chen's tomb were imprisoned was the "Kusi West Prison", located in the southwest corner of the Kaifeng Prefecture.
The door of the prison is not big, it is not much different from the gate of the general residence, there is a plaque with a black background on the door, the plaque is written "Kusi West Prison" four gilded characters, there are sub-couplets on both sides of the prison door, the upper link is "life is short and the flail is half a quarter long", and the lower link is "the law of the country is strict and the door has awakened for three minutes".
There are still some trees and flowers planted on both sides of the gate of the prison, lush, but who knows that behind these green grasses and flowers is a terrible bloody place? Many people came in in entirety, and ended up being tortured inside, and even if they were able to come out, they were incomplete.
There are men's prisons and women's prisons, of which men's prisons are divided into men's death rows and men's general prisons, and women's prisons are also divided into women's death rows and women's prisons.
The grave robbers were imprisoned on death row.
After entering the prison, there are four big white characters written on the wall, and there is a picture of a piggiving that can argue and straighten, which plays a great warning role.
In addition, what amazed Li Sanjian the most was that the prison walls where prisoners were held were all "quicksand walls".
The so-called "quicksand wall" is that the wall is sandwiched, filled with quicksand, once the prisoner wants to dig the wall to escape from prison, the quicksand will flow out, even if the prisoner who wants to escape from prison is not buried by the quicksand, it will soon be noticed by the jailer, and you will not be able to escape even if you stick your wings.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for a prisoner to escape from prison.
In addition, there are torture instruments, prisoner cars, shackles and other objects, which are shocking and terrifying.
The prison was also very low, dark and damp, and the door was unusually low, and the captured prisoners had to bow their heads and confess their sins when they were put into the prison.
The torture room of the government prison is not low, but relatively spacious, but the torture room only has a tall wooden window, and the air inside is unusually turbid.
"Push the official to ask for tea."
Li Sanjian, dressed in a scarlet official robe, sat in the torture room with a golden knife, and two black men, Shan Kui and Xu Biao, stood behind Li Sanjian with knives on their shoulders.
After Li Sanjian sat down, Zheng Prison immediately brewed the best tea in the prison and brought it up.
Li Sanjian frowned and waved his hand to fan the unpleasant smell in the torture room, smacked the fragrant tea and said, "Take someone to commit it." ”
"The official has an order, and he will bring people to commit crimes!" Several of the strong-bodied prisoners shouted loudly in unison after receiving the order.
Then there was a commotion outside the torture chamber, and six tomb robbers were escorted in shackles and chains around their hands and feet.
"Get on your knees!" Several prisoners raised their feet and put their feet in the crook of the tomb robber's leg, and the tomb robbers knelt in front of Li Sanjian with a plop.
After the tomb robbers entered the torture room, some of the thieves were so frightened that they knelt down when they saw the scarlet-robed officials, but there were also two tomb robbers who were more stubborn and refused to kneel, but they were forcibly kicked to the ground by the prisoners.
"Who is kneeling in the hall? What's your last name? Register your name. Li Sanjian then said to an older tomb robber.
"The sinner's surname is Liu Minger." The old grave robber replied tremblingly.
"Liu Er?" Li Sanjian saw that this person was old and extremely thin, and he felt a little unbearable, so he said: "Come on, remove the shackles." ”
