Chapter 449: Hades Trial

Tonight, the Imperial History Observatory worked overtime to handle the case, and many of the Imperial Historians did not rest, and it seemed that they wanted to make full use of the time of this night to interrogate Zhu Jie.

The two people sent by Ma Xuanliang wanted to visit Zhu Wei, but in order to prevent them from colluding in confessions, the imperial historians only allowed them to observe from a distance, and specially asked them not to speak. The task of these two Ma Xuanliang's subordinates was to monitor the imperial historians not to punish Zhu Ji and avoid being beaten into a trick, and as for other things, they couldn't control it.

At this time, Zhang Guigui came, he saw these two people, and smiled at them: "Two brothers, you come with me." ”

The two people hesitated, and one of them said: "Zhang Gongzi, I have a small official business, and it is inconvenient to leave." ”

Zhang Guigui smiled: "Let's go to the front room and talk, and we won't let you leave." ”

The two of them didn't want to offend Zhang Guigui, and felt that the house was very close to the cell where Zhu Yu was held, and they could hear any movement. So I followed him in.

When they entered the room, they saw four big men standing by the door, and as soon as they entered, the door closed behind them. Then, the two big men directly blocked the door.

Seeing this formation, the two people from the Hundred Cavalry Division felt a little furious in their hearts, and one of them asked, "Zhang Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Guigui took out two money bags, put them on the table, took out a pair of dice and said, "Two brothers, let's play a few games, if you lose, it's mine, and if you win, you can take it." My brother You has something to do tonight, let's just play here, don't leave this room. Tomorrow you can report the situation here to you Madam truthfully. What do you think? ”

These two are shrewd people, and looking at the formation in front of them, they know that they can't get out. Don't they dare to offend Brother You in Zhang Guigui's mouth, His Royal Highness King Qi is easy to provoke? There is money to take, there is no risk, and fools know what to do.

The two reached out and took the money bag and said, "Okay, let's play with Zhang Gongzi." ”

It was late at night.

After Zhu Ji finished dinner, he felt dazed, then he was sleepy, and then he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yu was awakened by the woman's cry in a daze, he opened his eyes and saw that it was dark all around, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

Suddenly, he heard the whirring wind, and then a cold wind hit, and he shivered from the cold. At this time, it was already June, and the weather in Chang'an had gradually begun to get hot. Where does this biting cold wind come from? Zhu Yi suddenly became a little scared. He thought he was dreaming, so he reached out and pinched his thigh, only to find that it really hurt and was sure that he was not dreaming.

At this moment, a woman's cry suddenly came from nearby: "Yet-I-life-come......"

Then, there was the child's immature voice: "Ah-mother, I-I'm afraid-ah......"

The sound got closer and closer, and after a while, a faint light suddenly lit up around them, and then several figures appeared, nay, ghosts to be exact.

I saw several women and a child, they were dressed in gray or black clothes, and they couldn't see clearly anyway, but their pale faces were faintly visible, and in the faint light, the corners of their mouths were bared, and their blood-red tongues were sticking out more than half a foot long.

They walked towards Zhu Yi step by step.

Zhu Yu was so frightened that he wanted to escape, but his body was so weak that he couldn't move. Seeing these ghosts approaching step by step, Zhu Yu was so frightened that he almost fainted.

At this moment, a voice said in a strange tone: "What the hell are you who dare to make a noise here? ”

Then, a guy with a very tall figure appeared, and I saw that his face was full of bells and whistles, his face was extremely ugly, he looked eerie, and he also had fangs in his mouth.

The female ghosts and little ghosts all knelt on the ground, pointed at Zhu Yu and said, "Lord Yincha, we were all killed by this wicked person for no reason, and he also set fire to our corpses, so that our souls have no attachment and become lonely ghosts." Please make the decision for us. As he spoke, they kowtowed to the yin cha together.

The yin cha walked towards Zhu Yu, staring at him with a pair of bulging eyes. Frightened, Zhu Wei hurriedly hid back, but his body couldn't move. The shady said, "Come on, take this guy away." ”

As he spoke, two unusually thick and tall ghosts walked in from outside, wearing strange hats on their heads, one with a dark face and the other with a pale face. Zhu Yu was so frightened that he was incoherent and said, "Where are you going to take me?" I'm not going. ”

The two ghosts almost couldn't help but say, and the heavens lifted him up and dragged him out.

When Zhu Yu passed by the women and children, they bared their teeth at him one by one, stretching out their claws with long nails, like he scratched. Zhu Yu was so frightened that he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at them anymore. The women and children followed closely behind Zhu Ji.

Soon, Zhu Yu was taken to an eerie hall, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a smell of burnt flesh. When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge oil pot in the middle of the main hall, and a raging fire burned underneath.

Through the oil pot, you can see that there is a huge table behind it, and behind the table sits a guy with a dark face and a difficult appearance, wearing an official hat on his head that he has never seen before. Beside him sat a clerk-like fellow, holding a pen in his hand and recording, and below them stood several ghosts, all fierce and vicious.

At this moment, there was a thin young man with a chain around his neck, kneeling on the ground, talking something.

The guy sitting in the middle (Zhu Yu didn't know if they were humans or ghosts, and he didn't know what to call them), said gloomily: "Is what he said true?" His voice was muffled, as if he had something in his mouth.

The guy who looked like a bookkeeper said: "Yan Jun, what he said earlier is true, and what he said later is all false. On the third day of February last year, he was obviously in Tanzhou, killed his father-in-law, and deceived his mother-in-law, saying that he went to Hedong. ”

The young man who was kneeling on the ground said in horror: "This, this, how do you know, I don't have ......" and was already paralyzed on the ground.

The guy called "Yan Jun" was furious, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted at the young man below: "You are so bold, you dare to deceive the deity, what should you be guilty of?" ”

The clerk said: "According to the laws of the underworld, a liar who cuts off his tongue, cuts off his right arm, throws it into an oil pan and fries it, and when he is born in the future, he can only be born with a disability." ”

Yan Jun took out a lottery from the lottery holder on the table and threw it on the ground.

Several onicha stepped forward and dragged the young man up, and he got to the oil pot, and one of the onicha grabbed the young man's right arm and cut it off with a knife, and the young man screamed and fainted. The ghost cha threw the severed arm into the oil pot, and an unpleasant smell of burnt paste suddenly spread.

And that's not all, the demons pinched the young man's chin, pulled his tongue out, slashed it with a knife, and threw it into the oil pan.

Zhu Yu was already so frightened that he couldn't possess his body.

At this time, Yan Jun looked at those female ghosts and children and asked, "What the hell are you?" ”

"Lord Yan Jun, we are the dependents of Li Gengqin in the Yang Dynasty Household Langzhong, and we were killed by this wicked man for no reason, and we were also set on fire by him. Please call the shots for us. ‘’

Yan Jun asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The clerk said: "At four o'clock in the afternoon of the tenth day of the fourth month of the Yang calendar, this person named Zhu Wei left through the back door of the Wei Palace, and then ......."

Yan Jun said: "I didn't ask you, let him say it himself." ”

"Mom, these ghosts know everything." Zhu Yu was stupid, he really left from the back door of King Wei's mansion at four o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, when he heard Yan Jun's question, he didn't dare to hide it, and honestly explained how he killed the family that day, and then set fire to it. He pleaded: "Lord Yanjun, killing people and setting fires is not the villain's will. The villain is just a guard of the Wei Palace, and the villain doesn't dare not listen to the master's words. Please be gracious, sir. ”

The bookstore took Zhu Ji's confession and asked him to sign and draw it.

Seeing Zhu Yu signing and drawing, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and then the lights were bright. Only then did Zhu Jian see that the person sitting behind the desk was clearly supervising the imperial history Wei Zheng, and the secretary next to him was Shi Tianmin, the head of the Qi Palace. Those female ghosts and children are Xiao Wanyu and other princesses of Qi and Di Renjie. The ghosts are all disguised by special combat soldiers.

What's going on here?

It turned out that Li You saw that Zhu Yu died and did not confess, and he would be handed over to the Yeting Palace tomorrow, so there was no chance to continue interrogating him. He thought about it for a long time and decided to take advantage of the superstition of the ancients to come to a Hades trial.

First of all, Sun Simiao configured anesthetics, so that Zhu Yi fell asleep first, and his limbs were paralyzed and could not move. Then he was transferred to the next room to the Hades hall they had arranged. The window of the room was blocked by a thick blanket, and naturally I couldn't see my fingers.

The cold wind was that they brought a large basin of ice from the ice factory, and used a hand-cranked blower to blow the cold wind into the room where Zhu Yi was.

Then Xiao Wanyu, Murong Ling, Di Renjie and others pretended to be the ghosts of the women and children he killed to scare him first. Then a special combat team member pretended to be the young man who was interrogated, his severed arm and tongue were fake, anyway, the light in the hall was dim, and Zhu Yi couldn't see clearly.

With this prelude, Zhu Jie was already very scared. Then Tian Min said that at four o'clock in the afternoon of the tenth day of the fourth month of April, Zhu Wei left the back door of the Wei Palace, and this matter was investigated by Yin Guanghao. In fact, he only knew this, and as for where Zhu Yu went after leaving the Wei Palace, he didn't know.

However, Zhu Wei was already extremely panicked at this time. When he told his whereabouts, he dared to hide it, so he honestly confessed.

Zhu Wei knew that he had been tricked, but it was too late, and he collapsed on the ground all of a sudden. The next interrogation was much simpler, since Zhu Yu had already confessed this part, in order to suffer less guilt, he simply poured beans into a bamboo tube. confessed all kinds of things about Li Tai one by one.

Wei Zheng made a quick decision and ordered to go straight to Furong Garden overnight, and in a secret room inside, he confiscated 1.24 million yuan of stolen money embezzled by Li Tai.

Not long after, the sky was bright, and Li You and the others went back to rest. Wei Zheng went straight to the emperor's bed, and he wanted to meet Li Shimin before the early dynasty.
