At the second moment of the morning, as soon as the cannon sounded, Yang Fei was wearing a second-grade civil official crane supplement uniform, wearing a jade belt around his waist, wearing a black gauze hat, and a group of staff members walked out slowly from behind the screen. He sat down behind the sandalwood case in the middle of the White Tiger Hall, and the two guards, one holding the sword of Shang Fang, and the other holding the Great Seal of the Governor, stood on either side. And his staff is divided on the left and right.

Cheng Qiguan walked to the door of the White Tiger Hall and ponted, and the outside suddenly responded like thunder. The civil and military officers waiting outside the second gate were led by Fang Zhao, the governor of Huguang, followed by dozens of people such as the supervisor of the military road, the general soldiers, the deputy generals and the generals. The civil officials wore tonal uniforms according to their ranks, and the generals were neatly armoured, carrying bows and arrows and swords. According to their grades, the civil and military officials successively signed up for Yang Fei to pay homage, bowed and stood solemnly, waiting for the instruction.

Yang Fei waited for the officials to finish saluting one by one before ordering them to sit down. After everyone sat down, Yang Fei glanced at everyone, and then slowly stood up. All the civil and military officials also stood up and waited for Yang Fei's lecture.

Yang Fei cleared his throat and began to speak, he first quoted the emperor's edict, and scolded everyone for their ineffective suppression of bandits, and he was ashamed of the emperor's grace. The tone was very harsh, which made the officials below a little scared.

Then Yang Fei said: "This governor is deeply favored by the emperor, and he has a heavy responsibility and vows to destroy the thief." Either the world has received the favor of the state, or has been recognized by the Holy One, and all of them should work together to make up for their mistakes in order to repay the Holy One. In the future, the first thing to do in cracking down on thieves is to rectify military discipline, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. If there is a person who neglects military orders and is ineffective in combat, the superintendent has Shang Fangjian in it, and the fifth grade or less will be cut first and then played, and the fifth grade or above will be severely impeached and punished, and the loan will never be lenient! ”

After saying this, in line with the principle of slapping and giving a sweet date, he began to appease everyone again, encouraging everyone to rectify military discipline, be loyal to the country, save all the people from fire and water, and become a great cause of the country's prosperity. As for the future strategy of warfare, he said that it was for the sake of secrecy, and then gave instructions separately.

After the lecture, Yang Fei ordered everyone to stand down, wait for the separate meeting, and then leave their seats, bow their hands to everyone, and retreat to the inner courtyard surrounded by the staff. All the civil and military officials bowed down and crossed their hands to see each other, and only after he left did they withdraw solemnly from the White Tiger Hall in turn. Everyone did not dare to leave the superintendent's line, waiting for the meeting. After a while, I saw Cheng Qiguan walk out of the White Tiger Hall and paging loudly:

"Please Huguang Town, Chief Soldier Zuo!"

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly stood up and followed Cheng Qiguan in.

The Chengqi official led Zuo Liangyu through the White Tiger Hall, then through a large courtyard, and came to the front of a small courtyard. Outside the moon gate of the small courtyard, there were two guards with swords in their hands, and the leopard tail flag that had been planted in front of the steps of the White Tiger Hall just now had been moved here.

The Chengqi official took him here, and then walked inside: "Zuozhen has arrived!" Immediately, a voice came from inside: "The cabinet is invited." ”

An attendant came out of the moon gate, took Zuo Liangyu into the courtyard, and walked all the way to a house with a plaque hanging "Festival Hall". This is the place where the governor is in charge, and Zuo Liangyu used to come often, but now he feels a little pressured. After all, Yang Fei's identity is not comparable to that of the previous governor Xiong Shanhuo.

The attendant lifted the curtain of the festival hall and signaled that Zuo Liangyu could enter. Zuo Liangyu hurriedly walked in and saw Yang Fei sitting on the chair in the middle of the hall. Zuo Liangyu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Huguang, knocks to see the governor. ”

It has already been decided to use the method of "grace and power" to control a fierce general like Zuo Liangyu, so Yang Fei is not humble to his big salute, but just stands up and returns the salute. After Zuo Liangyu saluted, he gave him a seat again, and then asked about the recent combat situation, the lack of soldiers and salaries, and then said:

"General Zuo, you are a very human ......"

Zuo Liangyu quickly stood up and arched his hand when he heard this: "The last general will not dare to be." ”

Yang Fei just smiled, but he no longer asked him to sit down, but continued: "So back then, Mr. Shangqiu Hou pulled the general into the army and put him in the position of commander of the army. He can also be said to have learned from others. However, since ancient times, those who have been generals often have a lot of achievements and are arrogant, and they cannot cheer up their vitality and make their names unremarkable. Every time I read a history book, I often cover it up. Today is the time for the country to employ people, and the general is also in the right year of promise. In the future, he may be crowned a prince and a marquis, and his name will go down in history; or live up to the grace of the country and be ruined. It's all in the generals themselves. Today, the heavens are wise, make great efforts, make meritorious contributions to the ministers, discern every detail, punish the guilty, reward the merits, and want to be a general. Fang County was defeated, the saint was furious, General Gu Nian still had military exploits on weekdays, and he was not comparable to other generals who were cowardly and regretted to die. After the governor bowed to the emperor, he said that you have the talent of a general, and the soldiers can also be used, and implore the emperor to be extra gracious, forgive the previous sins, restore the original rank, and crown you as a general of the thief, which has been approved by the saint. I think it won't be long before the seal of the general of the thief will be issued. The general must also work hard to make meritorious contributions, so that he can repay His Majesty's grace and live up to the high expectations of the superintendent. ”

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly knelt down and said: "The grace of the saint, and the cultivation of the cabinet, Liang Yu is broken and it is difficult to repay it." The last general will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy in the future, and he will definitely capture that Zhang Bingzhong alive and send him to the capital to cut ...... with a thousand knives."

……

Beizhen Fusi Prison is the so-called "heavenly prison" among the people. At this time, the two brocade guards, one left and one right, escorted Li Guorui inside, and Li Guorui kept peeking at the left and right in fear.

There are many terrible legends about the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, especially more than ten years ago, when the eunuch of Dongchang was still Li Jinzhong, I don't know how many officials who offended Li Jinzhong died inside. People say that in this prison, there are all kinds of torture instruments in the world, such as the cannon of the king of Shang, and the urn of Zhou Xinglai Junchen.

And in this prison, there are also the most proficient prison guards in the whole world who are proficient in how to torture people, and they are said to be proficient in human anatomy, and know how to inflict extreme pain on people. They can rip off the skin of a person's whole body and keep the person alive for a whole day; They can also stick a few silver needles in you, and they will make you itch all over your body, and if they don't pull out the silver needles, they can make you itch to death in seven days; What else can they ...... In short, according to legend, the various methods in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, in addition to not allowing the people who died after being tortured to be resurrected and re-tortured, are no less than the eight hells described in the "Chang A Han Sutra".

But in fact, compared with other prisons of that era, Beizhen Fuji Prison can be called a model of humanitarianism. Because unlike ordinary prisons, the Beizhen Fusi Prison is specially used to hold officials. These officials, God knows when, will be released and then reused. If the prison manager falls into trouble and waits for them to get out, who knows how they will retaliate. Just like in the Han Dynasty before, Han Anguo, the doctor of Liang Guozhong, was imprisoned in Liang Guo's prison. Jailer Tian Jia wantonly insulted Han Anguo. Han Anguo said: "Aren't you afraid of a resurgence? Tian Jia laughed and said: "Even if it is resurrected, Lao Tzu can extinguish it with a soak of urine." However, what I didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Han Anguo to be reactivated, and he was also promoted to Liang Domestic History. Tian Jia had no choice but to abandon his home and flee. Han Anguo threatened that if Tian Jia didn't come back honestly, he would destroy his entire clan. So Tian Jia had no choice but to honestly go back and receive his death. Of course, in the end, Han Anguo spared his life very much. But can the jailer in the prison really be sure that the people he meets in the future will be as generous as Han Anguo?

Even if I am Dazhao, there are many famous ministers who have stayed in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, but then they went out, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger, such as the famous Qing official Haigangfeng. There are also some criminals, even if they were executed in the end, but a few years later, due to changes in the political situation, they were rehabilitated, and their children and protégés took control of the government again. Then, if there were really some jailers who had mistreated these people back then, wouldn't they be afraid of retaliation? Therefore, most of the time, the jailers in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen are always respectful to the prisoners who are imprisoned. In contrast, ordinary prisons are much darker, whether you can fight or not, whether you wear shackles or not, all kinds of means, in short, if you go in, there is always a way to squeeze your whole family dry. Coupled with the poor environment in the prison and the epidemic of epidemics, as long as you are intentional, killing a person is almost like pinching an ant to death.

Li Guorui is the imperial prince, and the guards in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen dare not really offend him. After all, they are the same as the emperor, don't look at being arrested now, but they will definitely be released in the future. And insulting him is insulting the royal family, who can afford this responsibility?

But on the other hand, the emperor also made it clear that he wanted to arrest Li Guorui and scare him well, so that he could hand over the money quickly. How this scared him became a headache for Beizhen Fusi. However, the bureaucracy always has a good way to deal with this kind of problem, and that is to push layer by layer, layer by layer. The factory boss pressed the task to Jia Ting, the commander of the Fusi Department of Beizhen, and Jia Ting had to come up with a way no matter what.

But Jia Ting didn't have much to do, he could scare the money out of Li Guorui's hands without moving the real guy.

But then I heard that Jia Ting had a dream, and in the dream, the grandfather of the prison god gave him an idea, that is, to change the other prisoners in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen first, and vacate a place in the prison, so as to use it as a stage to scare Li Guorui. Then he went to other regular prisons to borrow a group of prisoners to put on the road where Li Guorui passed by as props to scare him. At night, they use all kinds of strange sounds, screams, and even pretending to be ghosts to scare him, anyway, according to legend, there are always a lot of things in the prison that are not very clean.

So now that Li Guorui saw the Beizhen Fusi Prison, it has really become a hell on earth.
