The guards guarding the door looked at each other: they hadn't been ordered to come this morning, but what good was it for him to fake the decree? So they let Feng Xianzhang rest in the gatehouse, and one of them hurried to the backyard to spread the word. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for the messenger to run back and say, "Chief Feng, Your Majesty asked you to go to the big study in the backyard to meet the driver." ”

Feng Xianzhang saluted him and said, "Brother Xiewei." Then he followed him to the big study.

The two guards who remained at the gate said to each other, "Why didn't you let the brocade guards come today and didn't inform us about the gatekeepers?" It's unreasonable. ”

In fact, the reason why Yun Xi didn't send someone to tell them that these people was very simple, because Yun Xi didn't expect Feng Xianzhang to complete the task he asked Wang Xi to relay so quickly. In the big study, he asked in disbelief, "Have you already asked about the Shang family and the Li family?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister took action immediately after receiving His Majesty's edict last night, and met with the head of the Shang family last night, and met with the head of the Li family again this morning, and has already inquired about the matter." Feng Xianzhang bowed and said.

The more such ad hoc tasks, the more a person's abilities can be reflected. Feng Xianzhang has been in Suzhou for many years, has made a lot of money, and wants to rise a lot. That's why he worked so hard that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night to talk to the head of the Shang family about things.

"Your Majesty, the head of the Shang family and the head of the Li family have all said it, and when Bai Zhixian talked to them, they both mentioned Your Majesty, and they clearly said that this is what Your Majesty meant. There are ,......," Feng Xianzhang said.

Yun Xi suddenly stood up. Yun Xi told Bai Wenxuan before that his words were very clear and clear: Don't mention me. It's a mistake to say it once, but it's very problematic to say it a second time, especially if the first time has already failed! Bai Wenxuan was not the kind of civil official who was extremely contemptuous of businessmen - in that case, he would have resolutely rejected Yun Xi's order at the beginning, and Yun Xi could not force a civil official to do such a thing.

So Bai Wenxuan did it on purpose!

"Does Jinyiwei have a record of Bai Wenxuan's illegality?" Yun Xi asked suddenly.

Feng Xianzhang had already prepared: "Your Majesty, last year, Bai Wenxuan illegally charged some more taxes to a merchant and ...... it."

"There is no need to do it, send a decree to the Suzhou Mansion, no, in the name of Xingzai, on the grounds of greed for ink, put Bai Wenxuan under house arrest in the Wu County Mansion."

"Call a few good interrogators from Suzhou Mansion to come over and pry his mouth open. I want to know why he did it. Yun Xi said through gritted teeth.

This time, he was almost pitted by Bai Wenxuan. Because businessmen were always full of doubts about cooperating with the government, Yun Xi also accepted Bai Wenxuan's words at that time, thinking that the Li family and the Shang family were really unwilling to cooperate, and did not send someone to review it. Yun Xi is extremely dissatisfied with Bai Wenxuan because of this, and it is also very strange, and he must know why he did this.

Feng Xianzhang hurriedly agreed to Yun Xi's orders.

"Also, since the Shang family and the Li family already know, then I won't hide it, call the heads of their two families to come, and I will let Yang Zirong talk to them in person." Yun Hee continued.

"Your Majesty, are you calling the heads of the two families to Xingxing?" Feng Xianzhang asked.

Yun Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Just outside, I looked at a restaurant not far from outside?" You Jinyi Wei are responsible for emptying this restaurant tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Xianzhang said. Then he saw that Yun Xi had nothing to say, and turned around and retreated.

Yun Xi called Yang Zirong over and instructed him some points.

……

……

Feng Xianzhang led people to catch Bai Wenxuan in the backyard of the Wuxian County Government with lightning speed, and called a few people who were good at interrogation from the Suzhou Mansion to interrogate Bai Wenxuan; At this time, Xiang Bao, the prefect of Suzhou, knew nothing about this.

At first, Feng Xianzhang did not dare to order Bai Wenxuan to be punished, but Bai Wenxuan also denied it, only saying that he had made a mistake; After half a day, Feng Xianzhang became anxious and ordered the punishment, but Bai Wenxuan still resolutely refused to recruit. Because he was afraid that Bai Wenxuan would be tortured to death, there was no way to use many vicious methods, and Bai Wenxuan would not move if the bones of his legs were broken.

But as long as it is a human being, there is a weakness, and after careful analysis, Feng Xianzhang found a weakness in Bai Wenxuan.

……

……

Bai Wenxuan was lowered from the torture rack, and the torturer next to him took out some herbs to treat his already bloody legs; At the same time, someone also handed him a bowl of water and half a bowl of rice for him to eat. Bai Wenxuan was not polite, he reached out and took the dishes and chopsticks and ate them here, not caring at all about his broken leg bones, as if there was no pain in his heart coming from his legs.

The torturers on the side also admired him. It's not that they haven't seen this kind of hard bones, but it's the first time they've seen such a hard civil official. A few of them are no longer the servants transferred from the Suzhou Mansion, but the old men who have been treasured by the Suzhou Jinyi Guard and are very good at interrogation.

Ten years ago, they had interrogated countless officials, both civil and military, but they had only seen a few of them.

Bai Wenxuan didn't pay attention to their gaze, just concentrated on eating his own food. Since Jinyiwei dared to arrest me, then naturally the emperor gave an order, which shows that the matter of me adding a few words when talking to the two merchants has been exposed. But it doesn't matter, as long as I resolutely don't recruit or confide in a made-up and legitimate reason at the right time. Bai Wenxuan thought.

I don't have any room to live. A great punishment has been inflicted on me, and even if it is a reason to make up, His Majesty must kill me. But as long as the family is okay. He continued to think.

He thought as he ran out of food. He handed the rice bowl to Jinyiwei and rested against the wall. Jin Yiwei didn't stop him and let him go.

After being tortured for half a day, Bai Wenxuan was also very tired, although there was still a huge pain in his legs, he still fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for him to wake up with cold water. Bai Wenxuan opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was Feng Xianzhang in front of him, and chuckled and said, "If you have any means, use them." ”

Feng Xianzhang also smiled and said, "Lord Bai, it seems that it is difficult to pry your mouth open with torture. Besides, I'm a little worried about your punishment, but I'm just going to give you some random reasons. Therefore I will not torture you. Lord Shiro, please look to the left. ”

Bai Wenxuan looked to the left with some disdain, and at the same time said, "I see what other flowers you have-" He was only halfway through his words, and he couldn't speak.

Because he was on the left, he saw his two sons.
