The sun is setting, and the sunset is like fire. There is tranquility in the residential areas south of Chengdu. Qin Azhi, who had been weaving brocade in the yard for a day, finally began to pack up his things, preparing to end this half-day of labor. Qin Azhi and his wife are the most typical couple in Chengdu. Qin Azhi weaves a good brocade, and her husband Feng Ada has a good figure. On weekdays, her husband Feng Adaa works as a coolie on the street, and Qin Azhi weaves brocade at home and does housework to take care of young children.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, originally Qin Azhi would not stop weaving until the sun sets, but today will end earlier. Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, she still has some things to prepare for tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival. The cut mugwort branches should be soaked in water in advance, and the whole family should take a bath with mugwort water after boiling the mugwort water tomorrow morning. There are still two buttons on her husband's summer coat that have not been plated, and she has to put the buttons on the plate after dinner early. A few flowers bought from the street should also be tied up and soaked in clean water to prevent them from wilting. Tomorrow morning, there will be a dragon boat race on the Min River, and the whole family will go to see it, and they and their children will wear flowers. By the way, you have to steam a pot of zongzi wrapped at home, and you have to take it to eat tomorrow, which is tomorrow's meal.

Qin Azhi was thinking about these things in his mind, but his hands were not idle at all, he quickly packed up the loom, small bench, spindle and other things, and his eyes were still looking out of the courtyard gate. Today, my husband also said that he would go home from work earlier, and I don't know if he still remembers the thing he told him to go buy some meat before going home. It's the Dragon Boat Festival, and the whole family will have a good meal of meat tonight, I haven't eaten meat for a long time.

When Qin Azhi thought about this, he packed up the silk spindle and several feet of brocade into the house, and then turned around and then packed up the spinning machine and stool, the spinning machine and stool were to be put into the firewood room in the corner of the courtyard, and the firewood room was specially used to place some broken things such as spinning machines and farm tools. Qin Azhi dragged the loom to the door of the firewood room with difficulty, stretched out his hand and squeaked open the dim firewood door. The firewood room was stuffed to the brim, and there was only a small area at the door where it could be placed. However, Qin Azhi didn't need to put the loom too deep, because the loom would be used every day for the next month.

Qin Azhi panted and dragged the loom into the firewood room and set it up, breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened up, beat his sour back, walked out of the firewood room and turned around to close the door of the firewood room. At the moment when the door was shut, Qin Azhi's eyes were suddenly attracted by the straw curtain on the low beam of the firewood room. The straw curtain was used to put shade under the eaves in the summer when the sun was too hot, so that he could work in the shade, which was a love for his husband. But the weather is not hot yet, so temporarily put it on the low beam of the firewood house, and when you need it, you can take it out to the river to rinse and dry.

But Qin Azhi's gaze was not actually attracted by this straw curtain, she was attracted by the two black boot tips exposed under the straw curtain. Qin Azhi thought she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, she was sure that it was a pair of boot-wearing feet hidden behind the grass curtain. In an instant, Qin Azhi's hairs stood on end in fright, and he almost screamed.

It was definitely not her husband's boots, nor was it her daughter Xiaocui's feet, they were a pair of strange feet. The black boots are like official boots, and no one in my family has these boots. The next moment, Qin Azhi remembered what had happened not long ago. In the afternoon, a large number of Shence soldiers and horses poured into the south of the city to search from house to house, saying that they were searching for a fugitive. Those who came to Qin Azhi's courtyard were three or four soldiers. Qin Azhi is not afraid of these soldiers, these soldiers are all soldiers of the Shence Army under Wang Xiangguo, and they will never disturb the people. Qin Azhi took them to search the front and back of the house, inside and outside, and invited them to drink a few bowls of tea before leaving. When sending them out, Qin Azhi thought to himself, how could there be someone hiding in his dilapidated house and small courtyard in the mountains? If there are any fugitives hiding, it is also hiding in the cascading courtyards of large families.

However, at this moment, Qin Azhi suddenly realized that the owner of the pair of feet in black boots behind the straw curtain was probably the person the soldiers of the Shence Army were looking for in the afternoon. In an instant, Qin Azhi felt that his whole body had no strength, and his legs couldn't move at all as if they had been filled with lead. He instinctively wanted to shout, but she instantly felt that it was not a good idea. The husband has not yet returned, and there are only himself and his five-year-old daughter at home, if this person is really a fugitive, I am afraid that if he shouts like this, I am afraid that it will bring terrible consequences.

The smart housewife tried her best to calm herself, stretched out her hand to close the door of the firewood room, turned back to her little daughter who was playing next to the stone mill in the yard and said calmly: "Xiaocao'er, go to the alley with your mother to see if your father has come back?" Let's see if Daddy buys big meat for Xiaocao to eat. ”

The little grass that was rushing to the sky agreed, and ran forward to grab Qin Azhi's hand. Qin Azhi almost lifted her little daughter off the ground, and hurried out of the yard. The next moment, she picked up the grass and ran down the alley.

……

In the barracks of the eastern city of the Shence Army, the hall was lit with candles. Almost all the high-ranking generals in the Shence Army were here, and even Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing were also here. They all came for one person, and that was the suspect who was being found from the firewood room by a woman in the south of the city and reported the arrest of the emperor who was kneeling in the hall at this moment.

The news that Emperor Taishang had been poisoned had already spread to a limited extent. In the morning, not long after Wang Yuan left, Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing rushed to visit the scattered flower building. Later, Yan Zhenqing found Wang Yuan and asked to find out the matter and severely punish the murderer. Therefore, when the suspect was arrested, Wang Yuan also invited Yan Zhenqing to participate in the interrogation. Because Wang Yuan felt that Yan Zhenqing also suspected that it was his own hands and feet. Wang Yuan didn't want to explain to him, so it was better to let him personally participate in the interrogation and explain with facts.

"It's okay to start, Wei Zuoxiang, Yan Pingzhang, you can interrogate this person." Wang Yuan spoke in a deep voice, breaking the silence in the hall. In order to prevent any cattiness in it, Yan Zhenqing asked him to interrogate, and Wang Yuan actually agreed to him.

"Yan Pingzhang, you ask. The old man will help you. Of course, Wei Jiansu knew Yan Zhenqing's thoughts, he had already listened to a lot of Yan Zhenqing's verbosity, and the implication was indeed to link the matter of Emperor Taishang being poisoned to people who should not be contacted.

Yan Zhenqing didn't give in, nodded slightly, and then asked majestically towards the person kneeling in the hall, "Who are you?" What is the last name? Who? ”

The man kneeling at the foot of the hall lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. From the moment he was captured, he made up his mind not to say a word.

"I haven't confessed honestly." Yan Zhenqing shouted.

"......" The man remained indifferent.

Yan Zhenqing scolded angrily: "Don't you say it soon? Can you deny a crime without speaking? Who are you? Poisoning the Emperor, but what did you do? ”

“……”

Everyone frowned, what effect would Yan Zhenqing have if he asked like this? Since this person dares to commit a crime against the Emperor, he must be a person who is determined to die, and it is fruitless to ask such a question.

"Yan Pingzhang, it can't be done without punishment." Wei Jiansu reminded in a low voice.

Yan Zhenqing frowned and said, "Torture? Isn't that a suspicion of torture? ”

Wei Jiansu rolled his eyes and said, "Yan Pingzhang, you are really bookish." Such a suspect, you still expect him to confess on his own? Not only must it be tortured, but I am afraid that it will still be severely punished. If you think you can ask for clues without punishment, we can accompany you. That's nothing. ”

Yan Zhenqing frowned and thought for a while, "That's it, what you said makes sense." Someone comes, and the punishment is waiting. ”

The soldiers on the side stepped forward and asked, "What kind of punishment is used?" ”

Yan Zhenqing said: "Clamp the stick." ”

Wang Yuan almost burst out laughing. It's a joke that a stick is also a big punishment.

The clamping stick is a kind of torture instrument that clamps the fingers of the prisoner in the middle of the stick, and after twisting the rope, the clamping stick is tightened and laborious, so as to achieve the effect of making the prisoner's fingers painful. However, such a punishment is not really hurtful and has little deterrent effect.

Sure enough, after the stick came up, the prisoner showed no sign of opening his mouth, although his face was painful. The fingers were black and purple, and there was no sign of a confession.

"Recruit or not? Quick moves. Yan Zhenqing shouted.

"Yan Pingzhang, this thing is useless, such a person knows that he is guilty of death, how can this kind of punishment force him to speak?" Wei Jiansu said.

"Get whipped. Whip forty," Yan Zhenqing gritted his teeth and shouted.

Everyone on the seat collapsed, and the whip had a fart.

Sure enough, after forty lashes, the man was bruised all over his body, and he still didn't say a word.

"Go to the military stick. Hit eighty. Yan Zhenqing was a little crazy.

"Stop. Eighty military sticks were directly killed, so what do you ask? Yan Pingzhang, are you interrogating or extinguishing? Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but speak.

"What then? This guy is stubborn and doesn't speak, what do you say? Yan Zhenqing spread his hands and said.

Wei Jiansu sighed and said, "Yan Pingzhang, it seems that you can't judge this person, the old man suggested that you should let Xiangguo interrogate it." ”

Yan Zhenqing thought about it and finally nodded: "That's it, what you said is that it is better for Xiangguo to interrogate." ”

Yan Zhenqing got up and arched his hand at Wang Yuan and said: "Xiangguo, this person doesn't open his mouth, I have no choice but to take him, or Xiangguo will interrogate him personally." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Yan Pingzhang is not tried? Then I had to come. Yan Pingzhang, this is what you want me to interrogate, but don't say that I didn't give you a chance. ”

"This ...... How dare you say that, the lower officials really have no way to interrogate such a die-hard person, and the lower officials can also learn from it. Yan Zhenqing said.

"Yan Pingzhang, then you haven't left your position, what are you still occupying your position? What a waste of time. Zhao Qing shouted in a deep voice.

"It's just a waste of time, obviously not capable, but still come to interrogate, it's really beyond my strength. That is, the handsome man has a good temper, and he is allowed to do tricks here. The generals talked one after another.

Yan Zhenqing was full of shame, so she could only pretend not to hear and leave the position of presiding judge.
