Eighty-one, the Gu arrest operation began

The search starts from Xiangjia Lane in the Chucheng Gate of the Witch Wind Disaster Area, where many wizards are gathered, and there are various genres, and there are always dozens of them. From the Chucheng Gate to the Luocheng Gate to the Xuanping Gate, bounded by the Shangguan Back Street, the witch style in this area is the most popular. Jiang Chong led his subordinates for more than ten days, and there were about thousands of people involved in witchcraft in Chang'an City.

Thousands of people were involved in witchcraft, which sounded shocking enough, but in the Western Han Dynasty, it was a normal thing, so Jiang Chong imprisoned all of them, so that the Tingwei Prison was overcrowded.

In this Gu arrest operation, the husband and wife of Xiangjia Lane, Lear and Hu Gu, were not spared and were arrested together. Poor Hu Group, who had just had a difficult birth and was still recuperating in confinement, was sent to prison like this.

Gongsun Yu's Boji Medical Center is of course safe and sound, firstly, they are not involved in such a thing as witch Gu, and secondly, Jiang Chong will not be selfless enough to investigate them thoroughly.

Chang'an City's Gu arrest action has come to an end, and what should be caught has also been caught, but Liu Che's illness is still not cured, and there is a risk of getting more and more serious, often in a trance, memory decline, many things are forgotten after the eyes, and he is too lazy to go to the early dynasty.

At this time, the weather has begun to be hot, at this time of year, Liu Che will go to Ganquan Palace to escape the heat, and this year is no exception, due to physical discomfort, so he decided to go to Ganquan Palace in advance to escape the heat.

Before leaving, the civil and military officials had a lot of things waiting for him to make the final decision, so there were many officials lined up at the gate of Jianzhang Palace, all waiting for Liu Che's summons.

Liu Che still likes to meet the ministers in Jianzhang Palace, it is estimated that the air in Weiyang Palace is too turbid and the air in Jianzhang Palace is good.

The first to be summoned was Tingwei Zhao Yu, because Jiang Chong had arrested thousands of people involved in witch Gu, Zhao Yu was busy at this time. Today's Tingwei Prison is overcrowded, there is no place to hold prisoners, and even the management of manpower is not enough, so anxious Zhao Yu is like an ant on a hot pot, so when he saw Liu Che, he complained as soon as he saw it:

"Your Majesty, because there are thousands of people involved in witchcraft in Chang'an City, and now the Tingwei Prison is overcrowded, there is no place to hold prisoners, and the management of Tingwei Prison is not enough, so the minister proposes to temporarily borrow the county prison to detain the prisoners, and ask Your Majesty to recruit Bingji, the former right eunuch of Tingwei, to govern the county prison."

After listening to Zhao Yu's invitation, Liu Che knocked on the dragon case with his hand, and read in his mouth: "Bingji, Bingji..."

Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Bingji has been the right eunuch of the court lieutenant, he is familiar with the law, he is upright, he is diligent and diligent, and he is the best candidate to govern the county mansion prison." ”

Liu Che thought for a moment and said: "I think about it, Bingji is the prison history of Lu State, I have tested his questions about the law, and he can recite it backwards, so call him to govern the county prison." ”

"Obey the order, Weichen retires."

Zhao Yu has worked with Bingji, and the two have a good relationship, and he also knows that Bingji is a person who can do things, so he recommended him to come to the county prison. At this time, Bingji was dismissed from office because of his involvement in the crime, and was demoted to the state to do an ordinary job, and now Zhao Yu recommended him to go out of the mountain, so he also achieved his future glory.

It was Jiang Chong's turn, it is estimated that Liu Che met with a lot of people and dealt with a lot of things, at this time he was a little tired and wanted to rest, but it was Jiang Chong who asked to see, Liu Che, who had always been fond of him, still Xuan Jiangchong came in.

Seeing Liu Che, Jiang Chong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Weichen Jiang Chong knocked to see Your Majesty, and the ministers were edicted to arrest witches in Chang'an City, but Your Majesty's body has not improved, and the ministers deserve death." ”

Liu Che heard Jiang Chong blaming himself, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, you also tried your best, it's that the witch Gu wind is too rampant, it seems that you have to continue to search for it." ”

Jiang Chong heard Liu Che say that he would continue to search and arrest, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to expand the scope of the search, I don't know if it is possible?" "Read

"Where do you want to hunt?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that witchcraft is also prevalent in the palace, so I want to search for it in the palace, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

Liu Che thought for a moment and said: "Not only do you have to search in the palace, but the entire Sanfu has to go to search and arrest, and I ordered the left and right lieutenants and Jing Zhaoyin to be responsible for the search and arrest work in their respective areas, and you will be responsible for the search and arrest work in the palace, and you must bring the people who are under the Gu to justice." ”

"The minister's decree, but what if the search involves the queen and the crown prince? I'm afraid I can't do it alone? ”

After Liu Che heard Jiang Chong's concerns, his eyes widened, and he said categorically: "If it involves the queen and the crown prince, it will still be searched, and if it is found, it will be severely punished, as for saying that it is indeed difficult for you to do it alone, so let's do it, according to Daohou Han Shuo and Yushi Zhang Gan to assist you, or you will take the lead in this matter." ”

Jiang Chong received Liu Che's order, and there were still people to help, so he was overjoyed and took the order. Liu Che also set off for Ganquan Palace the next day to escape the summer, and Wang Mao, as a doctor, also accompanied Liu Che. Since Wang Mao listened to Su Wen's arrangement that time and said that Liu Che's illness was caused by someone cursing the emperor, Su Wen has been very serious to him, and Liu Che has called him to take care of him if he is uncomfortable, it seems that Wang Mao is also on the right side this time.

In this way, the Sanfu area also began to vigorously hold a Gu arrest operation, and it is said that nearly 10,000 people involved in witchcraft were caught; Don't be scary, nearly 10,000 people, right? Yes, because the people who were arrested were tortured to extract confessions, and then confessed to another part of the people, and so on, many people were arrested, and many people were innocently killed.

The palace's Gu arrest operation was also in full swing, and Jiang Chong and the others went to search Zhaotai Palace first.

Zhaotai Palace is the cold palace, inhabited by those concubines who were punished.

The Zhaotai Palace is deserted, and there are two Rong Hua who were sent over a few years ago and several old palace maids around them, Rong Hua is also a title of concubine, ranking before the beauty.

After Jiang Chong led people to search, they couldn't find anything. These two people cursed each other a few years ago because of their competition for favor and were imprisoned in Zhaotai Palace. It is estimated that these two Rong Huaxin have long since died, and they don't want to fight anymore, they don't even have the heart to curse each other next Gu, or the cold palace is really too cold, and even the witch doesn't want to come over.

After the search of Zhaotai Palace, the next target is the long alley where the palace maids live. The long alley is inhabited by palace maids who have not been assigned to various palaces, and there are some concubines who have fallen out of favor and fallen out of favor, and the witch wind here is the most prosperous, but most of the witches involved are praying for blessings and eliminating disasters and hoping for good luck, and there are also some Gu who curse their opponents.

Then, Jiang Chong's Gu arrest team searched the Gui Palace and the North Palace, where the concubines who were old and decrepit or rarely favored by Liu Che lived. There are more concubines living in Guigong and Beigong, from Jing'e, Ronghua to the long envoy and the young envoy, most of the concubines who live here are harem concubines who have not seen Liu Che once a year, and some have even been pampered by Liu Che once and then forgotten by him, and have been living here, so this place has become the hardest hit area of witches in the palace.

After some searching, the Gu objects found in Gui Palace and Beigong were piled up, and the underground of the two palaces was almost dug up by Jiang Chong and others, and the people involved in witch Gu were also arrested, of course, most of the people who were arrested were palace maids involved in witches and witches who pretended to be palace maids and female doctors.

The prison was overcrowded, and Zhao Yu, the court captain, specially classified the county prison as a women's prison and was governed by Bingji, who had been ordered to return to Chang'an and began to accept the governance of the county prison.

After the search of Guigong and Beigong, Jiang Chong transferred the destination of the search to Changle Palace, Changle Palace was originally the residence of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager, but Liu Che was almost seventy years old, and the Empress Dowager had already returned to heaven, so there are some old palace maids living here now, Jiang Chong led the Gu team, first from the Changxin Palace, and then searched the Changqiu Palace, Changding Palace, Yongshou Palace, Yongchang Palace, Yongning Palace, it is estimated that Changle Palace is relatively deserted, and the harvest is not very rich, so it is simply connected to the Daxia Palace, Linhua Palace, Xuande Palace, Tongguang Palace, and Gaoming Hall in the north, Jianshi Palace, Guangyang Palace, Immortal Palace, Jiaofang Hall and Changting Palace, etc., all dug into the ground and searched three feet, and tossed the entire Changle Palace to the bottom, but the harvest was average.

After Jiang Chong's Gu catching team tossed like this, the palace was going to become unrecognizable, which made it difficult for the department in charge of the palace to be recognizable, they had to do the repair work of the palace after catching the Gu, and they had to re-pave the palace that had been dug up, otherwise when Liu Che, the wild boar, came back, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.

Jiang Chong and they didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and their next target was Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace also dares to search? It seems that Jiang Chong will not give up until they achieve their goal.
