Volume II, Chapter 71: The Edict of Prison

Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, specializing in edicts, that is, cases designated by the emperor, can arrest, interrogate, execute, and execute court officials on their own, without having to go through the triage of the three law divisions.

This edict is notorious, and countless officials have died under torture.

In the Ming Dynasty, once the eunuch was in power, the edict must be overcrowded, and the soul of the unjust became a sea, because the eunuch was in power, he must control the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang, and the edict was a good tool for them to clean up the loyal ministers and righteous people in the court, I don't know how many famous loyal ministers died unjustly, so the edict prison has basically become synonymous with unjust prison in people's impression, as if the people who went in were wronged.

In fact, when the emperor is not confused, he still will not imprison loyal ministers and righteous people, and many times, those who are imprisoned here are real traitorous ministers.

For example, at this time, Chen Da, a traitorous villain, was escorted into Beijing by the Jinyi Wei Tiqi and imprisoned in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen.

There is also a rule in Jinyiwei, who controls the edict of Beizhen Fusi, who is the boss of Jinyiwei, generally Beizhen Fusi is in the hands of the commander of Jinyiwei, but sometimes Jinyiwei does not have a commander, then this edict may be in the hands of Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi or even the commander of the servant, in short, no matter who controls Beizhen Fusi, basically controls the entire Jinyiwei.

At this time, Lu Bing has not yet controlled Jinyiwei, and the Beizhen Fusi is naturally not under his control, but Chen Yin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who manages the Beizhen Fusi, is also the old man who originally Xingxian Wangfu, that is, his father Lu Song's colleague, and Chen Yin is also old at this time, and it is almost time to retire, and the most likely to take his place is Lu Bing, Chen Yin is naturally very polite to Lu Bing.

He not only personally sent Lu Bing to the Imperial Prison, but also summoned all the thousands, hundreds of households, and cell bosses in the Imperial Prison to him, and asked them all to listen to Lu Bing.

This is equivalent to handling the handover in advance, and at this point, Lu Bing finally established his authority in Jinyiwei and took his first step in controlling Jinyiwei.

Lu Bing also knew that this was Jiajing's test for him, and it was also an opportunity for Jiajing to give him, because generally the prisoners in the edict were commanded by the Jinyi Guards to be in charge of the trial, and Jiajing asked him to come, probably to test his ability to control the Jinyi Guard.

How do you prove your abilities?

It's very simple, whoever the emperor wants to clean up, you can clean up whoever you want, no matter what official, you can clean up obediently, this is the embodiment of ability!

Ma Bi, Chen Da, you have a brain, it's best to do all the tricks obediently, otherwise, Lao Tzu will let you see how many eyes Lu Ye has.

In this way, Lu Bing held the determination to disassemble Chen Da into parts, and slowly stepped into the dim cell of the Imperial Prison.

Chen Dake didn't know that Lu Bing was going to release him, and he wasn't ready to confess honestly, because the edict was not as terrifying as during the Chenghua and Zhengde periods, and the emperor was not the kind of brutal faint monarch today, and there were no ruthless people like Wang Zhi and Liu Jin in the court, and he hadn't heard of any minister who was tortured to death in the edict.

He believes that as long as he doesn't make a move, Jinyiwei won't dare to do anything to him, and he still has foreign aid, he still has a backer Xia Yan, and he still has the old history of the Chen family in Fuzhou, he believes that these people will find a way to rescue him.

In short, he still has a fluke mentality at this time, thinking that it will be okay to carry it over.

Therefore, when Lu Bing ordered someone to escort him into the execution room, he still put on a clear conscience, his steps were very calm, and there was no panic in his eyes, he looked like those loyal ministers and righteous men who were escorted to the execution ground.

Ma Bi, who are you pretending to show Lu Bingdang even if he turned his face, picked up the startling wood and slapped it hard, and then said sharply: "Kneel!" ”

Chen Da glanced at him, and saw that he was just a hairy young man in his twenties, and he felt even more contemptuous.

Who are you, the hair has not grown, to scare Lao Tzu.

He stiffened his neck and said, "I am a dignified court official, the governor of a province, and I have never made any mistakes, why do I kneel?" There is no Wang Fa anymore, do you think you are Wang Zhi or Liu Jin! ”

Oh, you dare to be hard with Lao Tzu!

Lu Bing glanced at the jailer behind Chen Da without hesitation, and motioned for them to quickly put the old guy down.

These jailers were all masters of execution, and it was like drinking porridge to them to put them on their stomachs, and they didn't even need to press Chen Da's shoulders.

I saw the two jailers quickly pick up the killing stick, swoop through between Chen Da's legs, and then against Chen Da's knee socket, cross and twist to both sides, Chen Da screamed miserably and fell to the ground.

Lu Bing nodded with satisfaction, picked up the startling wood and slapped it vigorously, and then snorted coldly: "Chen Da, are you guilty?" ”

Where did Chen Da think that the jailer behind him would hack him, the two killing rods were twisted, he fell directly into the mud, and almost knocked out his teeth, at this moment he was struggling, but the two killing rods were twisted in his knee socket, so that he couldn't get up.

He was annoyed, and when Lu Bing asked again, he was even more angry.

He couldn't help but yell: "Who are you, you dare to bully a court official like this, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" ”

Lu Bing pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "You still know Wang Fa, well, I'll tell you about Wang Fa, how much corruption you have embezzled in the past few years in Shanxi, you don't know in your heart?" How many military supplies have you withheld from the border army, and you don't count it in your heart? You asked for help in vain Zhao Bo, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and refused to send troops to reinforce it, how many soldiers and civilians of the Xuanfu border army were killed, do you know in your heart? You still talk about the king's law, and if you talk about the king's law, a bastard like you should be cut with a thousand cuts! ”

When Chen Da heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, he thought that Jinyiwei came to arrest him was just the result of the fighting methods of Yangming and Xia Yan, but he didn't expect that Jinyiwei secretly checked his old bottom clearly.

Can these things be confessed?

Of course, he can't confess, once he confesses, although he won't be cut by a thousand knives like Lu Bing threatened, the crime of killing his head will definitely not be escapable.

He could only stiffen his neck and say: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, I don't know what you are talking about, and you don't want to frame me." ”

Lu Bing snorted coldly, picked up a confession, and asked disdainfully: "Do you remember Wang Bo, a thousand households of the Daizhou Qunmu Office, he only gave you 40,000 taels of silver a few days ago. Ningwu Pass Guard, Shanxi General Zhang Da You know, how many times has he begged you, have you given a wool to the Ningwu Pass Guard? And also....... ”

Hearing this accusation, Chen Da's face turned white with fright, he didn't expect that Jin Yiwei would have so many evidence!

What to do?

Even if Jin Yiwei has so many evidence, he can't recruit it, and he can't recruit it to death!

He simply closed his eyes, pretended to be heroic and fearless, and said no more.

Oh, old guy, you still dare to be hard-mouthed, when Lao Tzu doesn't dare to move, right?

I want to see how hard your bones are.

Lu Bing was not ambiguous, even if he gave the order, let the jailer bring up all kinds of torture instruments and start the execution!
