Chapter 30: Searching for Someone in Prison
The emperor's father and son dug a pit for Ma Sanbao, even if he was given the power to supervise Yushi Zhongcheng, what could he do? He can't do anything, even if he can use drones and bugs, he can't do this thing, besides, the Ming Dynasty doesn't have a network, even if there are those things, they are all a pile of scrap iron, right now, let him supervise Yushi Zhongcheng, he thinks he can't do it, let alone Hu Weiyong's rebel party behind.
Even if Ma Sanbao knows who Hu Weiyong's anti-party is, but he doesn't have enough evidence to prove that these anti-parties collude together, in the Ming Dynasty, it is not who says who is against the party and who can definitely be caught, there is not enough evidence and testimony from the trial, or can not be convicted, I believe that these prime ministers and important ministers also understand this truth, Ma Sanbao firmly believes that even if he writes the names of these anti-parties in Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, Zhu Yuanzhang can convict these anti-parties.
"I'll give you a task, go to the prison first, meet Wang Guangyang, put something out of his mouth first, and then go to Shang Hui in the imperial history, hey, it's a pity that I have been wise and martial in this life, and I was careless in employing people! The three prime ministers who set themselves were more or less opposed. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, speaking of which, except for Hu Weiyong, the other two are just accomplices, this Shang Wei is the worst, but he withdrew soon after participating in the plot, but it also aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions, Wang Guangyang is a real accomplice, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers the case of poisoning Liu Ji, the founder of the country.
"You don't have to be polite to Wang Guangyang, after all, he brutalized Liu Ji, who I let go back to retire." Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Wang Guangyang, with a look of regret in his eyes, Wang Guangyang was also the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that this old minister was bewitched by Hu Weiyong and went astray, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to send this old minister to prison with tears, he always wanted to give Hu Weiyong a horse, but the evidence was insufficient.
"The minister commands." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly gave Ma Sanbao a goal, Ma Sanbao's heart was extremely unwilling, and he didn't know if Prime Minister Wang Guangyang would cooperate with him, after all, he had only come to the capital, and he had never seen the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, and Ma Sanbao's understanding of Wang Guangyang was zero.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to send off the guests, Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di wanted to part ways with Zhu Di, but Zhu Di still followed closely behind Ma Sanbao, a little worried that Ma Sanbao would be difficult to parry the prime minister's shelf, after all, Ma Sanbao was only a nine-grade official position, and Wang Guangyang was a dignified prime minister before he was removed.
The prison prison is not only the first time Ma Sanbao has set foot in the prison, but even Zhu Di is the first time to come back to the prison, after all, no normal person will run to the prison to stay in the prison.
When the jailers saw Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di, they bowed respectfully, they didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao, and Zhu Yuanzhang's news had not yet reached the ears of the jailers, "Fourth Highness, Young Master Ma, it's better for you not to trespass here, respect our work." ”
"We have important things to do, and we were ordered to come to try the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, don't believe you ask my virtuous brother." Zhu Di put on a very serious look, waiting for Ma Sanbao to find out the edict that Zhu Yuanzhang had just given them before.
"What Wang Guangyang? The right prime minister was on the way to Hainan, how could he be in prison. The jailers pretended not to understand and said that Wang Guangyang's whereabouts need to be kept secret, except for the jailers and the criminals waiting to die in the prison, only Zhu Yuanzhang knows Wang Guangyang's true whereabouts, and the jailers are very helpless at the moment, they don't want to conflict with Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di, just to abide by their duties.
"Don't die duck with a hard mouth, the edict says that Prime Minister Wang Guangyang is in prison, you can't deny this edict, right?" Ma Sanbao slowly took out the edict from his arms, he didn't want to embarrass these jailer brothers, everyone was eating together, so why bother?
The edict of the gilded eagle dragon is the best proof, the jailers thought that they had met Zhu Yuanzhang the moment they saw the edict, and they immediately looked respectful, no jailer dared to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the door of the prison was wide open, and a fishy smell came, which provoked Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di couldn't help but cover their noses.
There is a musty smell and bloody smell in the perennial unventilated prison, the environment in the prison is very poor, there are two floors in total, the first floor is for stealing prisoners, this kind of prisoners will be released after a period of time, and the second floor is for the most vicious murderers and political criminals, come to the prison, regardless of your previous status, all are treated equally, this is also the only equal place in the Ming Dynasty with a clear class system.
"Wang Guangyang, I've tried you!" When the guards took Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di to the cell where Wang Guangyang was, the scene in front of them stunned the two.
If it weren't for the prison, Wang Guangyang would have been a high-spirited prime minister, however, Wang Guangyang in the prison was in rags, like a beggar version of the inconspicuous, a pair of lifeless eyes, gray hair, even the beard looked extremely pale, this person's mental state did not seem to be very good, roaring like a beast, completely ignoring the existence of Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di.
"Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di! I knew it was you! Next to Wang Guangyang's cell, a pair of hands grabbed the iron door of the cell, and a pair of reddened eyes stared at Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di viciously, this person was Hu Pengju who was thrown into the prison, during this time in the prison, this young master lost a lot of weight, and even the handsome face that could fascinate many girls before looked a lot sloppy, bloodshot all over Hu Pengju's eyes, Hu Pengju's body was no longer a luxurious uniform, but instead a signature prison uniform in the prison, he gritted his teeth, eager to swallow the two people in front of him alive.
During this period of time when he couldn't see the light in the prison, Hu Pengju hated Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di more and more, but unfortunately, he also understood that he was not able to escape from the prison, after all, in the prison, there were not no prisoners who were more ferocious than him, in just ten days, he had seen the jailer take the prisoner out of the prison to be executed, and he had also seen the scene of the original empty cell being stuffed with newcomers, during this time, every time he saw the prisoner leave, the more afraid of death would come to him, and he did not have the courage to save Hu Weiyong in the main hall beforeAt this time, he was just a young master who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"I'm not looking for you today, I'm going to find the right prime minister Wang Guangyang today, next time I try you, you'd better live until I try you, but you shouldn't have any useful information." Ma Sanbao glanced at Hu Pengju, Hu Pengju's embarrassed appearance did not arouse Ma Sanbao's sympathy, after all, the latter had tried to assassinate him before, if he didn't have the ability, he would have died in the hands of the assassin, speaking of which, he also felt a little guilty about the medicine fairy, if it weren't for himself, the medicine fairy girl would not have been injured.
"Phew! Even if you try me next time, I won't say anything! Even if you torture you, I won't tell you! Hu Pengju shouted hysterically, a mouthful of spit at Ma Sanbao's feet, Ma Sanbao looked at the once arrogant and domineering Young Master Hu with some disgust, waved his hand, and invited the right prime minister out of the cell with Zhu Di.
Wang Guangyang, who was invited out, kept struggling, the old man kept muttering words like looking for death, and seemed to have a nervous breakdown, and he couldn't seem to ask any questions, which gave the jailer a headache, "Young Master Ma, Fourth Highness, do you really want to try him?" He's gone crazy. ”
"This is His Majesty's will, take it to the interrogation room and tie it up, and His Royal Highness and I have our own way of getting words out of his mouth." Ma Sanbao said to the jailer, his brows furrowed slightly, Wang Guangyang's mental state did not seem to be very good at the moment, and he kept muttering words that they couldn't understand, similar to gods, Buddhas and ghosts, and also his hometown dialect.
In the interrogation room, all kinds of torture equipment are readily available, and even some of the equipment is still stained with blood, and even the seats are warm, obviously this interrogation room has just interrogated the criminal, Wang Guangyang sat on the quilt chair under the arrangement of the jailer, his hands were tightly bound, and there was no room for even his feet to toss, and the whole person was fixed on the chair, as if a person had grown from the chair.
"You go out first, and I will judge him alone with His Royal Highness!" Ma Sanbao said to the jailer, and after sending the jailer away, he stared at Wang Guangyang for a long time.
Wang Guangyang's crazy appearance made Zhu Di have the idea of giving up, and at the moment when Zhu Di was about to speak, Ma Sanbao stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhu Di's actions, "Prime Minister Wang, don't pretend, I know, you are very sober, and honestly explain Hu Weiyong's rebellion against the party, we can save your life." ”
Wang Guangyang was stunned at first, and just as he was about to continue chattering, Ma Sanbao said, "Look, I just said that you have a grudge against Hu Weiyong, don't hide it, it's useless for you to hide it." ”
"You have seen through it, it won't be the reincarnation Zhuge recommended by His Royal Highness in the book, this can't escape your eyes, I've heard your legend, Hu Pengju's kid was sent in by you, right? Hey, the old man has worked hard for Daming all his life, but he mistakenly believed Hu Weiyong's nonsense, but unfortunately, no one believed me when I said it in the past. Wang Guangyang shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, a ray of light appeared in his lifeless eyes, he stared at Ma Sanbao for a long time, but he didn't care about Zhu Di beside Ma Sanbao.
"You can tell me that Hu Weiyong is against the party, I can be convicted of Hu Weiyong, please trust me, I will definitely do my best to save your life in front of Your Majesty." Ma Sanbao said, he squinted his eyes, waiting for Wang Guangyang in front of him to respond.
"Hey, little guy, you have lived too short after all, at my age, there are some secrets, rotten in the stomach, that is rotten in the stomach, now is the wrong time, Hu Weiyong is also kind to me, hate, hate, no one believed what I said before, now, there is no need to say it, Hu Weiyong has also lost power, let these secrets turn into dust with the old decay, and go with the wind." Wang Guangyang shook his head and refused Ma Sanbao's request.
