Although the real murderer Zhu Mian cannot be brought to justice for the time being, Wu Zhi is sure that when the case is concluded tomorrow morning, if he insists on killing Zhu Wen and others, plus Prince Cheng Lao comes forward to put pressure on Zhao Ji, Zhu Wen and others will definitely die! It is not difficult to demote Zhu Mian to Jiangnan!

Once Zhu Mian is demoted to Hangzhou, then he will not be far from death, now let him live a few more days!

————

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Zhiyin smiled, Zhu Wen's death was what he deserved, but before he died, Wu Zhi still had an account to settle with him!

The sword was still stuck on the ground of the signing room, and Wu Zhi pulled out the sword and walked straight to the Kaifeng Mansion prison.

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

Qin Hui was very surprised when he saw Wu Zhi holding the unsheathed sword with a gloomy face, but Wu Zhi did not answer him, and went straight to the prison without saying a word.

The prison was surrounded by patrol battalions and Kaifeng Mansion to capture and guard layer by layer, and the soldiers were a little shocked to see Wu Zhi actually coming with a sword, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only obediently let Wu Zhi in.

"Your ......, my lord"

The outermost room of the cell is the office of the officer, because the prison prisoner Wu Zhi is required to be strictly guarded, so Zhang Quan will come here to work during the day when he has nothing to do, and Song Gong often comes to inspect, and the two are also surprised to see Wu Zhi's battle.

However, seeing that Qin Hui behind Wu Zhi shook his head, they didn't continue to ask.

"Take me to Zhu Wen's cell." Wu Zhi commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"You two are here to keep watch."

After giving an order to Qin Hui and Song Gong, Wu Zhi and the guards followed Zhang Quan into the cell.

The cells in Kaifeng Prefecture were divided into different areas according to the severity of the prisoner's crime, and the place where the prisoner was held was a general thick wooden frame cell, while a felon, like Zhu Wen, was kept alone in a prison cell, which was surrounded by huge stones, except for the iron door and the narrow vents in the skylight.

In front of Zhu Wen's cell, dozens of soldiers from the patrol battalion were guarding day and night, and Wu Zhi ordered Zhang Quan to open the iron door before and after the door.

Whoop...... After the iron door opened, a fishy smell came to his nose, Wu Zhi frowned, and saw Zhu Wen in prison.

Zhu Wen inside was unkempt and looked a lot thinner than before, but he was used to living a life of fine clothes and jade food before, and it was normal for him to lose a little weight in prison these days, and Wu Zhi did not order people to deliberately "take care" of him in advance.

Zhu Wen obviously had just woken up, squinting his eyes and looking at Wu Zhi lazily, after seeing the sword in Wu Zhi's hand, he just glanced at it with disdain, and was not too frightened.

"Wu Zhi, are you here to kill me?"

Zhu Wen called Wu Zhi's name directly, with a hint of banter in his words, as if he expected Wu Zhi not to kill him.

Wu Zhi looked at Zhu Wen in disgust, "Escort me out!" ”

The guards immediately entered the cell.

"Wu Zhi, what are you going to do! You can't touch me yet! Do you want to resist the decree! ”

After the guards brutally escorted Zhu Wen out, Zhu Wen began to panic, although he threatened Wu Zhi in a tough tone, but his confidence was obviously a little insufficient.

"Less nonsense! Hold me down! ”

After scolding, Wu Zhi ordered a few catchers to step forward and buckle Zhu Wen to the wall.

"Pry your mouth open!"

After the guards pried open the mouth of Zhu Wen, who was constantly struggling, Wu Zhi took out the whole bottle of "Mandarin Duck Water" that was transferred to him from time to time and poured it into Zhu Wen's mouth.

"Ahem, ahem...... Wu Zhi, you bastard! What did you give me a drink?! ”

Zhu Wen's whole face was distorted after being poured a whole bottle of mandarin duck water, and he kept retching, you can imagine how unpleasant this mandarin duck water is, and this water has not been mixed with mud and dirt!

Looking at Zhu Wen's painful expression, and thinking about the fact that this water was actually what Zhu Wen planned to give to Ling'er, Wu Zhi couldn't help but hate.

"Brute! You also know that this stuff is not drunk by people? ”

After scolding, Wu Zhi asked someone to bring the bench, and after quickly pressing Zhu Wen on the bench with one hand, Wu Zhi raised his sword coldly.

"Let your hands be cheap! I'm going to give you a few fingers today! ”

Wu Zhi really couldn't kill Zhu Wen before the case was closed, and Wu Zhi would be responsible for killing him rashly, and Zhu Wen didn't deserve this treatment. But chopping off a few of his fingers won't be a problem, he'll be sentenced to death tomorrow anyway.

"Wu Zhi! You... You don't have to die well! ”

Zhu Wen's face was shocked, and when he saw that Wu Zhi's sword was about to be cut down, he struggled desperately while cursing viciously at Wu Zhi.

"Let's see who doesn't die well!"

"Your Excellency!"

Wu Zhi was about to cut down, when Qin Hui's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Wu Zhi couldn't help but stop his hand temporarily.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Qin Hui's expression was a little flustered, Wu Zhi was a little puzzled.

"The people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are here, and they are at the door of the dungeon, and Lord Song is blocking them!"

"The Criminal Department and Dali Temple? What are they here for? Wu Zhi faintly felt that something was wrong.

"They ......"

"We're going to bring people!"

Qin Hui was halfway through his words, and a loud voice suddenly sounded behind him, and he saw two officials in crimson official uniforms leading a team of officers and soldiers to stride over.

Seeing the two officials at the head, Wu Zhi's face couldn't help but change, these two Wu Zhi knew each other, one was Cheng Yuan, the Qing of Dali Temple, and the other was Ma Huaili, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, both of whom were one of the top high-ranking officials in the prison system of the Song Dynasty officialdom.
