Chapter 378: The Prison of the Criminal Department
In ancient times, there were no military tribunals, and soldiers who violated discipline in wartime were subject to military law, and in peacetime they violated the law and were punished by the local government. Wuhou Pu has the responsibility to assist the local government, and the Criminal Department can directly take over the prisoners from Wuhou Pu without asking Jin Wuwei's superiors for instructions.
In the event of a dispute between servicemen and servicemen, the superior of the military shall first handle it, and after determining that the violation has been violated, it shall be handed over to the criminal department for handling. Sima's position was very special, he was both a military attache and a subordinate to the local government, so the Criminal Department had the right to directly deal with the dispute between Lu Tong and Zhou Yukun.
Baihu knew that the Criminal Department was Li Tai's sphere of influence, and Li You could not directly intervene in this matter, so he reluctantly returned to the Qi Palace's mansion and reported to Li You.
Qi Wangfu.
Zhao Fu heard the news of Lu Tong's arrest, and did not tell Liao's mother and daughter, only saying that Lu Tong had not yet come to Chang'an, and it was estimated that he would come back in a few days. Then, he came to the Qi Palace.
Soon, the white tiger also came back, and as soon as he told him about the situation, Li You immediately felt that something was wrong, he felt that there was Li Tai's shadow here, and he was afraid that he was coming at him again. He immediately had Yin Guanghao informed to investigate the matter.
Liu Renliang said: "Lord Wang, can you rescue people first?" He admired Lu Tong very much, and was worried that he would suffer in it.
Zhao Fu also said: "Yes, Lord Wang, it's important to save people." ”
Gongsun Xiwen cried and pleaded.
Li You's first feeling was to save people, but there was weirdness in this matter, and he said in his heart: "If this matter is done by Li Tai, what does he want to do?" Even if he kills a Lu Tong, what can he achieve? ”
Li You couldn't figure it out for a while, but he decided to uphold his consistent style, give full play to his true colors, and save people first.
He said, "Prepare the horse, go to the punishment department." ”
The prison of the Criminal Department.
The prison of the Criminal Department is located on the side of the wall of Xu Defang, with a bluestone base and a blue brick wall. The perennial wind and rain invaded, the surface is dirty and dilapidated, and it looks very depressing.
The inside of the cell was dark and damp, but the torture chamber was hot. The walls were covered with horrifying, bloodstained instruments of torture. A pot of charcoal was burned red, and a soldering iron and an iron rod were stuck in it.
Lu Tong was tied to a heavy wooden frame, and three thugs surrounded him. One of the thugs brandished a leather whip and whipped at him.
Opposite Lu Tong was a table, behind which sat an official from the Criminal Department.
Soon, a thug saw Lu Tong's head hanging down, he reached out and lifted Lu Tong's chin to look at it, and said to the official of the criminal department: "My lord, the prisoner has fainted. ”
The criminal department official said, "Wake him up." ”
A thug picked up a basin of cold water and poured it on Lu Tong's body.
The sudden stimulation of cold water woke up the unconscious Lu Tong.
The official of the Criminal Department said: "You honestly confess, you are a lowly slave, how did you become a commoner?" How did you make it into the army and become an officer? ”
Lu Tong's formalities were all handled by Li You, but becoming an officer was achieved by his efforts in the army.
Lu Tong was not clear about the procedures for changing slaves into civilians and joining the army, he just knew that these were all done by the prince of Qi. When he heard the official of the Criminal Department ask like this, he was worried that if he said the prince, he would cause trouble for the prince.
So, he gritted his teeth and insisted that all this was done by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and he didn't say that this matter was related to His Royal Highness King Qi.
The official of the criminal department said: "You still dare to quibble, give me a beating." ”
Several thugs began to beat Lu Tong in turn. Lu Tong soon fainted in pain again.
At this moment, a group of men and horses galloped towards the prison of the Criminal Department.
The gate of the prison of the Criminal Department is arched, and a large "prison" character is divided in half by two heavy black lacquer gates, which can no longer be aligned.
At the door of the prison stood four jailers with knives, chatting lazily. When they saw someone coming, they straightened up and looked at the person who was coming.
Soon they saw the people coming clearly, all of them riding tall horses, led by the famous His Royal Highness King Qi.
The jailer at the head hurriedly stepped forward and said earnestly: "The little one has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I don't know what His Highness has to say here?" ”
Baihu asked, "Is there a person named Lu Tong who was imprisoned this morning?" ”
The jailer said, "My lord, this little one really doesn't know. It's not a small duty in the morning, but you can ask the warden. ”
The white tiger said, "Open the door." ”
The jailer was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, this one doesn't dare to let you in without the approval of the Ministry and the presence of officials from the Department. ”
The white tiger waved his horsewhip, made a whirring sound in his ears, and asked, "Is this okay?" ”
The jailer was sweating with fright, and said, "Okay, my lord, the little one will show you the way." ”
Entering the office area of the prison, the prison guard hid when he heard the news, and a prison priest came out to greet His Royal Highness King Qi.
The white tiger said, "Go and bring Lu Tong to me." ”
The prison said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, without the approval of the ministry, the minister can't explain?" ”
Li You took out the gold medal in his arms and said, "Is this okay?" ”
The prison hurriedly saluted the gold medal, and then said, "Okay." Then he went and brought people out. ”
He commanded the jailers: "Go quickly, bring the officer who was sent this morning." As he spoke, he gave the jailers a look.
"Wait, you take us in yourself." The white tiger saw the small movements between them and was worried that they would cheat.
The prison was helpless, so he had to take Baihu and the others in.
Bai Hu and the others came to the torture room, saw the scene in front of them from the window, and couldn't help but be angry. He kicked the door open. Rushed in.
The official of the line said in surprise: "What a boldness. Who are you who dare to trespass into the prison of the Criminal Department? ”
The white tiger didn't talk nonsense, kicked him to the ground, and waved the horsewhip to give him a hard beating, causing the official to roll on the ground and beg for mercy.
Those thugs were also pushed to the ground and beaten by the guards.
Li You didn't go in, he waited at the door for a short time, and saw two guards helping Lu Tong out, only to see that he was wearing a single coat, with whip marks everywhere, and even two on his face.
Seeing Lu Tong's miserable appearance, Li You scolded: "I grass your grandma, who did it?" He took off his fur and put it on Lu Tong.
The prison and the two jailers knelt on the ground in fright, and the prison said: "Your Highness, it is the order of Liang Yuanwailang of the Pre-trial Department of the Criminal Department, don't blame the ministers and others." ”
Li You said: "Damn dog officer, Lao Tzu remembers him." ”
Li You and the others left, but Baihu didn't leave, he took a few guards and investigated in the prison before leaving.
After the white tiger left, the prison came out, he wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said, "Prepare a horse for me, I want to see Lord Yan."
