Shi Yi really couldn't understand why these Shanxi troops wanted to arrest them, could it be that there was any misunderstanding here?

Many people, when faced with a desperate situation, will always come up with all kinds of reasons to comfort themselves, in fact, this kind of comfort is useless, it should come, it will always come, it's not that you comfort yourself and you'll be fine.

Shi Yi didn't know how far the carriage had run, in short, most of the day had passed, and they were still dangling in the carriage.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the carriage suddenly stopped, and immediately afterwards there was a shout outside: "Down, down, all down." ”

Those foot soldiers of the Shanxi army didn't care if they were lying down or sitting, anyway, they just dragged people out of the car, and then, they seemed to be dragged into a cell and thrown directly on the ground, and then, no one cared about them, the Shanxi army seemed to have left, the door of the cell seemed to be locked, and no one helped them take off the sack on their heads.

What's going on here?

At this time, in the palace, Jiajing was sitting there with his eyes closed, when Lu Bing's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

This guy seems to be in a hurry, and even his breath is a little short.

Of course, if it wasn't for the urgency, even Lu Bing wouldn't dare to disturb him, and he would be cultivating at this time.

When Jiajing heard this, he opened his eyes helplessly, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Lu Bing heard the sound and entered, and after hurriedly making a salute to the monarch and ministers, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the generals of the Shanxi border army have caught a group of spies. ”

When Jiajing heard this, he said a little inexplicably: "Spies? What spies? ”

Lu Bing was a little embarrassed and said: "This, Weichen is not very clear, it seems to be a spy of the Tartars." ”

Fornication with Tartars?

In other words, these people are their own people!

This is a bit serious, if it is a spy sent by the enemy, then it's just that, after all, it is normal to send spies to the enemy to spy on the news when fighting, if it is your own people who fornicate with the enemy, it will be different, all dynasties, all wars, I don't know how many people lost in the hands of their own people, they were betrayed by their own people, and it was difficult not to lose!

Jiajing couldn't help frowning and said, "Who are they, where are they now?" ”

Lu Bing was still a little embarrassed and said: "This, the people have already been escorted to the capital, and Weichen has already put them in prison." However, Weichen has not been interrogated, and I heard that these people are all cronies of Xianning Hou Qiuluan. ”

Xianning Hou Qiuluan's cronies!

How can it be?

Jiajing couldn't help but exclaim: "Really! ”

Lu Bing replied helplessly: "This Weichen can't be sure, only after the trial." ”

This is okay, if it is really the cronies of Xianning Hou Qiuluan, then the capital will be dangerous, the 40,000 troops led by Xianning Hou Qiuluan are in Tongzhou, which is less than fifty miles away from the capital, if these people collude with the Tartars and defect to the battle, the capital is afraid that it will really not be able to hold it!

At this time, Jiajing was a little anxious, and he couldn't help urging: "Then hurry up and go to the trial, you go to the trial in person, hurry up." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bing did not follow the order, but stood there and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a middle palace to go to the trial with Weichen?" ”

This is a common practice, and generally the emperor will send a cronie eunuch to watch the case explained by himself, because the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are wonderful, and most of them don't believe in outsiders, even Jinyiwei doesn't believe it, but only believes in the eunuchs around them.

Therefore, many times the Jinyi guards have to listen to the eunuchs, and even, sometimes, when the emperor does not use the Jinyi guards to handle the case, but uses the East Factory, which is directly responsible for the eunuchs.

Jiajing naturally trusted Lu Bing, but the stakes were so high that he didn't dare to be sloppy, he thought about it, and said aloud to the door: "Huang Companion." ”

The great eunuch Huang Jin entered in response and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Jiajing said directly: "Send a trustworthy person to follow Wenming to try the case, and bring back the confession immediately after the trial, I want to see it." ”

Huang Jin understood as soon as he heard it, he was afraid that something big had happened, so he hurriedly said cautiously: "Weichen understands." ”

Jiajing was no longer verbose, and waved his hand directly: "Go quickly." ”

Seeing this, Lu Bing and Huang Jin hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Soon, Lu Bing took the eunuch sent by Huang Jin to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, and after a little arrangement, he was ready to interrogate the prisoner.

Coincidentally, this eunuch is none other than Li Fang, who was sent to Shanxi to supervise the mines, and perhaps, Huang Jin thought that Li Fang had experience in supervising border towns, so he sent him to supervise Lu Bing's trial.

Although this Li Fang has been promoted to the steward eunuch for a long time, he is quite humble, Lu Bing asked him to sit in the main seat, he refused to live or die, and even, he took the initiative to sit in the position of the case, and insisted on helping Lu Bing transcribe the confession, Lu Bing couldn't twist him, so he could only go with him.

This case is a bit troublesome to try, because there are too many spies sent by the Shanxi army, there are hundreds of people, and it seems that they can't interrogate them one by one, if there is anything missing, it will be entrusted by Jiajing.

So, how is this case tried?

Lu Bing thought about it, it is better to start with the ordinary soldiers, if the main culprit is interrogated at the beginning, the ordinary soldiers seem to have no need to interrogate, and the main criminals are generally difficult to pry open, starting with ordinary soldiers, there may be unexpected gains.

It should be said that he still has a lot of experience in trying cases, if he interrogated the Qian Zong who led the team or the guest Shiyi of the Xianning Marquis Mansion at the beginning, nine times out of ten, people would not recruit them, fornicating with Tartars, it was a felony, and killing the head was considered light, but who would honestly confess if he could be fooled.

Soon, a Ganzhou sergeant was escorted over and directly pushed to the ground.

Lu Bing was not ambiguous, and immediately asked solemnly: "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”

At this moment, the Ganzhou sergeants were all stupid.

What are they going to do, of course he knows in his heart, because they escort Shi Yi to the enemy camp not once or twice, every time, almost all of them escort Shi Yi to negotiate with the Tartars, after all, fornicating with the Tartars is a serious crime, and Qiu Luan naturally can't casually send some unfamiliar border soldiers to escort Shi Yi to the enemy camp.

They are all cronies who have followed Xianning Hou Qiu Luan for more than ten years or even decades, Qiu Luan doesn't send them, who will he send.

Originally, there was no risk in this errand, anyway, the Tartars knew that they were going to negotiate, and they would not attack them at all.

I never thought that this time, they were inexplicably planted in the hands of their own people, and it was just planted in the hands of their own people, as soon as the sack on the head was taken off, it was Jinyiwei standing next to them!

It's over, I'm afraid I'm going to die this time, Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, and the good things they did must be known by the emperor!

The Ganzhou sergeant knelt there and was stunned for a long time without saying a word, because he was so frightened that he didn't know how to reply, and he didn't even know whether he should reply or not.

Seeing this, Lu Bing did not hesitate to pick up the startling wood and slapped it vigorously, and then said sharply: "If you say it, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, this official will not be polite." ”

What does this mean by being polite?

That's naturally a big punishment!

Jin Yiwei's punishment, that is quite famous, can definitely make you can't survive, can't die!

When the Ganzhou sergeant looked at the dense torture instruments around him, he suddenly trembled in fright and said, "Villain Zhao Xiaoer." “

Lu Bing then asked sharply: "Origin." ”

Zhao Xiaoer subconsciously replied: "The villain is the guard of the former thousand households in the right guard of Ganzhou, the capital of Shaanxi. ”

He thinks that these are nothing, after all, he can't be out of the stone, there is always a place of origin, rather than making things up, when the time comes, he will be discovered, and he will be beaten to death, it is better to be honest, anyway, it is just a place of origin, and it has nothing to do with fornicating with Tartars.

When Lu Bing heard this, he secretly sighed.

Sure enough, it is the Shaanxi Army, and it is also the lair of Xianning Hou Qiuluan, the guard of Ganzhou Town.

You must know that it is risky for him to do this, because anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is helping Yang Cong deal with Qiu Luan, and if he can't find a reason, Jiajing will probably be furious.

It's okay now, it's a cronie of Xianning Hou Qiuluan!
