Chapter 220-21 Prisoners

Seeing that a fireworks signal was also lit in another place in the examination room, not only Sun Henian was paralyzed in shock, but even Qiao Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Sun Dan and asked, "Sun Dan, what's going on?" ”

Sun Dan: "What else can it be, I'm not the only one who cares about the fraud case of Jinke Shun Tianfu Branch." ”

Qiao Yu sighed: "So many people and so many yamen know that there is a mistake in the Shuntianfu Township test, but I, the main exam, are still in the dark." He felt a wave of powerlessness, and the development of the matter was no longer under his control.

"Alright, Master Joe, get ready." Sun said awe-inspiringly: "As the adults said before, my generation of scholars, as long as everything is done according to their own hearts, they are naturally open-minded and fearless, so it doesn't matter which person from the yamen he came from?" ”

"Yes, I'm worried too much." Qiao Yu immediately ordered: "Everyone listen, the exam is suspended, immediately close the examination room, and search the candidates." ”

There were more than 200 people in the entire examination room, including the chief and deputy examiners, transcriptionists, clerks, junior officials, and officials.

The examination machine of the Shuntian Mansion Gongyuan, which was about to accelerate, stopped abruptly and let out a low roar. Soon, there was a noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the examination room, and from time to time there was the scolding of the officials and the terrifying sound of the whip whipping on people.

Although there were six or seven thousand candidates in the examination room, most of them were helpless readers. I have read a lot of books, my courage is small, and my brain is not bright, and in front of the wolf-like officials, they are all trembling, and they dare not say more and move more.

Things went smoothly, and during this period, there were a few scholars who complained a little, but in front of the state apparatus and whips, they took a few beatings, and they all obediently complied.

"Everyone was not allowed to move, and they sat obediently and waited for the search of their bodies. If there is a person who moves half a step, it will be treated as cheating. Get rid of your reputation and hand it over to the company for review! Qiao Yu strode through the aisle between the examination houses, and his voice was loud and loud.

At this moment, his face was awe-inspiring, like a veteran who was charging on the battlefield.

Hearing his shouts, all the candidates sat on their stools in a daze, not daring to move a single step.

As for that Sun Henian, until now, he has been paralyzed in his chair, looking at the situation outside with dull eyes motionlessly, as if he has lost his soul.

Bi Yun came, and also brought more than 30 cronies from his previous work as a factory clerk in the East Factory. These people are all good at criminal investigation, and if they want to deal with these talented people who are so tender that they don't know how to be sophisticated, they will naturally be caught.

After the fall of Bi Yun, these 30 or so cronies were greatly excluded in the East Factory, and many of them were sent to Qingshui Yamen on errands.

Now, Bi Yun gathered them together and promised that if this was done. He Bi Yun will return to the master of ceremonies to take charge of the East Factory again, and as meritorious officials, they will all be reused.

These thirty or so people have been living extremely miserably during this time, and I thought to myself, if this thing is done, it will also be an opportunity to turn over. Even if he fails, he will be severely punished by Huang Jin for committing a crime, which is not much worse than now.

They have been on errands under Bi Yun for a long time, and Bi Yun is an old man in the palace, amiable and responsible. Thanks to Bi Yun's kindness, all the eunuchs are all with their lives.

As the saying goes, the one who wants the same wins. The fate of these thirty or so people has been firmly tied to Bi Yun, and naturally everyone is brave, but they are afraid of falling behind.

After Sun Dan ran to the gate of the Gongyuan to let Bi Yun and the others in, he immediately ordered someone to block the gate to prevent Huang Jin's people from rushing in. It's not a good sign that two tables of guests come to one table.

"Hurry up, don't rub it off, if it falls into the hands of Grandpa Bi, you can be honest and behaved, and maybe you can suffer less." The two fans pushed a person in front of Sun Dan and Bi Yun: "Yu Bi Gong, Mr. Sun, the prisoner is here." ”

Bi Yun stood beside Sun Dan, nodded and asked, "What's the situation/"

One of them replied: "Father-in-law, Mr. Yu, after receiving your order, we waited for an ambush outside the Chase Inn, and found someone sneakily hiding there. When I saw that he was suspicious, I took him down, and after the first trial, I learned about the person sent by Gao Zhi. Then the little ones 'touched' the melon and caught him at his residence. But I didn't want to, this person turned out to be Huang Gonggong's person. ”

"Oh, Huang Jin is really involved in this matter, see how he gets out this time?" Bi Yun was greatly satisfied and smiled proudly.

Sun calmly looked at the past, this person is not a high professor, but who is it.

He was amused in his heart, and walked forward and arched his hand: "Hello brother, it has been many days since Biyun Temple in Xishan, but I miss it tightly!" ”

Gao Zhi looked at Sun Dan with a frightened expression: "Why are you here, who are you?" ”

Sun Dan: "I forgot to tell Brother Gao, my name is Sun Dan." ”

"Ah, you are Sun Jingyuan!" Gao Zhi was shocked, and it took half a day to fall, "Hey! A voice: "I hunt geese all day long, but the geese peck at my eyes and blind my dog's eyes!" I sold the question to Sun Jingyuan, I really threw myself into the net and killed myself! I don't want to think about it, does the dignified Sun Jingyuan need to buy exam questions? ”

Sun Dan: "Let's not talk about this first, let me ask you, what do you want to do when you send someone to monitor the Chase Inn?" ”

Gao Zhi woke up from the shock, he was also a bachelor: "Gao Zhi sent someone over to stare at Brother Sun, naturally waiting to collect the money, five hundred taels, if you regret it at that time, who will I ask for money?" ”

Sun Dan: "You are straightforward, let's talk less nonsense, cheating in the field is a felony of killing heads, you should be honest, who instructed you, and who sold you the exam questions one by one on the confession, maybe I can also plead with Yousi and give you a way to live." ”

Gao Zhi smiled bitterly: "Fallen in the hands of the famous Sun Jingyuan, Gao Zhi is not wronged. However, if I recruit the person behind me, I am afraid that I will not be able to live. Late life doesn't lie to you, do you think that if it were your Sun Dan, you would recruit, would you dare to recruit? ”

Sun Dan sighed: "That's the same reason, if I were you, I wouldn't dare to recruit Huang Jin, a big celebrity under His Majesty." Forget it, I won't care about this anymore. He also ignored Gao Zhi, turned his head and asked Bi Yun, "Father-in-law Bi, this person will be handed over to you." You are from Dongchang, and you are the best at criminal investigation. ”

"Okay, leave it to me." Bi Yun bowed slightly.

I heard that I was going to hand myself over to the East Factory, and Gao Zhi's face changed greatly.

Sun Dan then asked: "Bi Gong, what kind of criminal law do you use in Dongchang to torture criminals, I'm curious?" ”

Bi Yun deliberately 'touched' his bare chin: "These things are all done by the people below, and I don't know much about old Bi." ”

A fan came up with interest: "Father-in-law, Mr. Sun, in fact, there are no new tricks." It's just a yellow eel drilling into the anus, smearing honey all over the body and throwing it into the ant pile, and so on...... By the way, there's another way. But a small opening can be made in the top of the mortal's head, and mercury can be poured into it. The mercury is heavy, and as soon as it is poured into it, it goes down and separates the flesh and skin of the prisoner. The prisoner's body was painful and itchy, and as soon as he struggled, he broke free from the opening on the top of his head, which is the peeling method of our East Factory. ”

Gao Zhu was terrified when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Sun Jingyuan, you are also a famous person, a scholar, can you use this kind of subordinate means against me?" ”

Sun Dan: "Gao Zhi, you still recruit." What are you afraid of Huang Jin, if you recruit it, you have the Son of Heaven to protect you, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty to protect you, even if he Huang Jin covers the sky with one hand, he will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to harm you, right? Where to go, the choice is yours. ”

Gao Zhi laughed miserably: "If I recruit it, I will die in the future." If you don't, you'll die now, and I'll write this confession. ”

Sun Dan said in a deep voice: "If you recruit from the truth, my Sun Dan and Bi Gonggong will protect you from death." ”

Soon, the two fans dragged Gao Zhi into an examination room, and asked Gao Zhu to write a confession on the candidate's paper.

After receiving the confession, Sun Dan took a closer look. It is written in great detail, such as: when and where did he get the exam questions from Huang Jin, and what did Huang Jin say at that time; Whoever bought the rolls from him with how much money they spent, and where are their IOUs now......

Sun Dan handed the confession to Bi Yun: "Bi Gong, immediately send a competent person to this place to get out those IOUs, this is ironclad evidence." ”

"Okay." Bi Yun immediately asked the two henchmen to leave the tribute courtyard and copy the evidence by himself.

Then he smiled and flicked his finger the confession and ordered: "Arrest people according to the list above." ”

There were about 120 people on the list of Gao Zhi, and soon, after the chaos, these more than 120 Xiucai who had bought the exam questions were pulled out by the officials of the Gongyuan with a string of thumbs tied to the strings, and concentrated in the open space in front of the hall of the Gongyuan.

Seeing so many prisoners, Yayi of the Gongyuan drew his weapons and stared at them fiercely, for fear that unforeseen changes would occur.

In fact, these people are either weak scholars or children of the family of the imperial court, they are flying and domineering on weekdays, but they all collapse to the ground when they encounter major events, and they don't have to worry about any radical actions they will have.

The cheating methods of these candidates are also varied, some hide the cheat sheet in the anus, and some copy the answer on the stomach. Among them, one of the most creative guys used carrier pigeons to deliver messages outside the field, and came to a wireless connection.

Qiao Yu was so angry that his hair stood on end: "Shaft, you should be killed!" Huang Jin, a thief, is really bold, one hundred and twenty people, five hundred and twenty people, he Huang Jin has 60,000 taels of silver in the account. In the 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, such a large-scale fraud in the field is really unheard of and unseen. I will be the son of heaven and punish this gelding! ”

He scolded one by one, which made Bi Yun next to him a little uncomfortable.

There was a henchman of Bi Yun's Dongchang who was not angry in his heart, and was about to refute it, but he heard a "boom!" from outside. A fan ran over in a panic: "Father-in-law, Mr. Sun, Dongchang...... More than 100 of Huang Jin's men had already arrived, and they saw that the gate was closed, and they were carrying a girder to hit the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard. ”
