Chapter 589: Decapitated Rice
The moon hung on the branches like a big duck's egg yolk, and the streets and alleys of Bianjing were also lit up.
The yamen of Kaifeng Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were two patrol battalion soldiers of nearly 100 people guarding outside the gate alone, and when the ordinary carriage that Wu Zhi was riding in had just stopped in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, a small group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to drive away.
"Your Excellency!"
After seeing that the person who got out of the carriage was Wu Zhi, the soldiers immediately knelt on one knee and clasped their fists in salute.
"Be sure to guard the gate strictly tonight, no one is allowed to enter or leave Kaifeng Mansion without my order!"
After Wu Zhi got out of the car, he didn't pause, and while giving orders to the soldiers, he walked into Kaifeng Mansion at a hurry.
"Yes!"
…………
After entering Kaifeng Mansion, Qin Hui, Song Gong and others all greeted Wu Zhi when they heard the news.
"My lord, how are things going?"
When Wu Zhi left Kaifeng Mansion before, his pace was in a hurry, his expression was serious, and he ordered them to transfer heavy troops to strictly guard the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, so they could all have a premonition that something big might happen tonight, and Qin Hui even vaguely guessed what Wu Zhi was doing when he entered the palace.
Wu Zhi nodded coldly and asked, "No one will come to ask for Zhu Wen after I leave, right?" ”
"Nope!"
"Good!"
Since no one came to ask for Zhu Wen again, it is thought that Cai Jing and Zhu Mian did not know about Wu Zhi's entry into the palace for the time being.
Peng Shun, who had just come out of the public house, saw Wu Zhi and asked, "My lord, why do you want to transfer so many soldiers to Kaifeng Mansion?" Could it be that someone can't rob the prison tonight? ”
Peng Shun has been cleaning up unjust, false and wrongful cases recently, but he doesn't know the situation on Wu Zhi's side.
"Master Peng, you just happened to come over, and I was looking for you!" Wu Zhi smiled: "You quickly lead someone to carry out the three guillotines of the Evil Suppression Hall, it will be useful tonight!" ”
Hearing Wu Zhi say this, Qin Hui and Song Gong immediately looked at Wu Zhi in disbelief, looking horrified.
"Lifting the guillotine? Where.........
Peng Shun is still in a state of unknown reason.
"Lift it to the court, of course!"
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he strode towards the cell on the west side of Kaifeng Mansion. Qin Hui and Song Gong didn't ask much, but followed closely behind Wu Zhi.
"My lord! My lord! After Peng Shun reacted, he stopped Wu Zhi with a panicked face: "This Kaifeng Mansion's guillotine is a big murder weapon in the world, and it can't be easily lifted out if there is nothing to do!" ”
After speaking, Peng Shun glanced at the sky, the sky was like ink, there was only a full moon, but the current position of the moon was a few points higher than the treetops, and it was no longer dark yellow, a little brighter.
Peng Shun is hinting to Wu Zhi that this big night, don't rashly raise the guillotine.
"Of course there is!" Wu Zhi paused slightly, and said, "Your Majesty has ordered me to behead all the criminals who were imprisoned in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion for child prostitution!" Execution tonight! So, Master Peng should hurry up and carry the three guillotines to the court. ”
"Execution? Want to kill?! ”
Peng Shun was stunned.
"That's right, these three guillotines in Kaifeng Mansion haven't tasted blood for decades, right? It's time to sacrifice them tonight! ”
After speaking, Wu Zhi suddenly lowered his head and approached Peng Shun, and said in a low voice: "I know that Master Peng is Cai Xiang's person, but I will kill Zhu Wen and others, Master Peng can go to tell the truth, I will not stop you." Let's see if Cai Xiang stops me after he comes! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare ......"
Peng Shun didn't dare to shout, his face had turned pale, Cai Jing only sent someone to tell him to keep an eye on Wu Zhi this evening, but he didn't expect Wu Zhi to know so quickly, so Peng Shun felt a burst of horror.
"I'll take someone to carry the guillotine!"
Sweating profusely, he received Wu Zhi's order, Peng Shun retreated cautiously, since he had been broken by Wu Zhi, then he would not go to the informant. And he also knew that there were nearly a thousand patrol battalion soldiers stationed in Kaifeng Mansion now, even if he informed Cai Jing, Cai Jing would not be able to enter the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.
He also knew that if he really went to report the news, then Wu Zhi would definitely not spare him, thinking about Wu Zhi's methods, he would inevitably have a chill again.
It's just that when he opened the door of the Evil Suppression Hall and saw the three guillotines covered with red cloth in the gloomy atmosphere, Peng Shun couldn't help but be in a trance again, he suddenly began to believe that Wu Zhi would really use these three guillotines to kill Zhu Wen and other criminals, you must know that it was more than 20 lives!
Wu Zhi is really going to kill them now? With a guillotine?
"Master Peng, can you carry it?" A small leader who came with Peng Shun asked.
He is Zhang Quan's person and Wu Zhi's person, as long as Peng Shun has the slightest abnormality, he will order his subordinates to arrest him.
"Lift it!"
When Peng Shun spit out these two words, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, he has been in Kaifeng Mansion for almost ten years, and he has also wiped the dragon tiger dog guillotine for ten years, he wants to see if Wu Zhi can really make these three guillotines bloody!
…………
From the outside of the prison gate of Kaifeng Mansion to the door of the cell of Zhu Wen and other criminals, there are two soldiers guarding every three steps, which can be described as airtight. Wu Zhi and his men came to the door of Zhu Wen's cell, and after the cell boss opened the cell door, Zhu Wen inside showed obvious fear on his face when he saw Wu Zhi.
"What do you want to do, Wu Zhi! If you dare to touch me, my eldest brother will not let you go! ”
Zhu Wen shrank around the corner, threatening Wu Zhi with a fierce look, his eyes were constantly staring, as if he was looking to see if Wu Zhi had brought a sword.
"Trash!"
Wu Zhi scolded secretly, then waved his hand behind him, and immediately someone put it in front of Zhu Wen with good wine and meat.
This is a severed head meal, not only Zhu Wenyou, Lei Hu and other accomplices, although these people deserve death for many evil crimes, but Wu Zhi is not an unparticular person, when he is dying, he should give them good wine and good meat, this rule Wu Zhi will never be bad.
However, after Zhu Wen saw the wine and meat in front of him, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and then looked defensive and didn't eat it at all.
"This wine and meat are not poisonous, if you don't eat it after I count it three times, I will let people take it out."
Wu Zhi glanced at Zhu Wen and counted "one" lightly.
"Would you be so kind as to give me meat and wine that is not poisonous? Hum! ”
Zhu Wen's face was gloomy, but his eyes still couldn't help but aim at the wine and meat, he had been in fine clothes and jade food since he was a child, and the coarse rice he had been in prison every day was worse than pig food for him, and he was really unable to control himself in the face of the tempting aroma of wine and meat.
"Three!"
Wu Zhi didn't bother to count to two, so he counted directly to three and then waved his hand to let people collect the wine and meat.
"Don't move!"
As soon as he entered the cell, Zhu Wen immediately pounced on the wine like a hungry dog, hugged a roast chicken, and gnawed wildly.
Zhu Wen was extremely greedy, biting the roast chicken while pouring wine into his mouth, and his face was suddenly greasy, and his mouth was full of wine.
Wu Zhi stood firmly outside the door, from the time he returned to Kaifeng Mansion to the time when he saw Zhu Wen, it was only half a pillar of incense, and he had enough time to wait for Zhu Wen to finish eating.
When he was halfway through the wine and meat, Zhu Wen finally slowed down, and his eating appearance became much more comfortable.
"Wu Zhi, count you as acquaintances! Hum! ”
Zhu Wen sneered at Wu Zhi while eating. The reason why he ate this wine and meat just now was because he was hungry, and secondly, he thought that Wu Zhi would not dare to kill him, and if he really wanted to kill him, he would not have to be poisoned. Now after eating the wine and meat and finding that it is really not poisonous, Zhu Wen also confirmed the thoughts in his heart.
This would have "guessed" that it should be that after the people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department came over in the evening, Wu Zhi felt the pressure and made Wu Zhi afraid; Or maybe their Zhu family found some other way to put pressure on Wu Zhi, so Wu Zhi would use wine and meat to curry favor with him.
Therefore, the current Wu Zhi is a dog that succumbs to the feet of the Zhu family in his eyes, and he doesn't take Wu Zhi in his eyes at all.
……… In the final analysis, he still doesn't know Wu Zhi as well as his brother Zhu Mian, if Zhu Mian was in his position at this time, I'm afraid he would already be bloodless! And Zhu Wen was entertained by Wu Zhi's good wine and meat, but he began to look down on Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi still stood coldly outside the cell, ignoring Zhu Wen, he didn't want to talk to such a piece of garbage, and he didn't need to talk nonsense with a dead man.
"Hey, hey!"
Seeing that Wu Zhi was silent, Zhu Wen smiled proudly, and actually stood up, holding a wine jug in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and walked towards Wu Zhi.
In his eyes, Wu Zhi at this time was completely like a angry bag who had suffered a big loss from their Zhu family.
"Wu Zhi! Have you seen how powerful our Zhu family is? Zhu Wen approached Wu Zhi, his face full of rampantness, "Our Zhu family has been standing in the court for more than ten years, and there are more than ten officials in the Jiangnan officialdom who were promoted by our Zhu family, this kind of foundation is not something that an upstart like you can imagine!" You know now that it's too late, when I go out, you beg me a few more times, and I will consider letting my eldest brother leave your whole family with a cheap life........."
Syllable!
Before Zhu Wen's arrogant words were finished, the guards beside Wu Zhi couldn't help but say, and a big slap was suddenly thrown on his face, and he immediately slapped him to the ground, and the chicken legs and wine jugs in his hands flew far away.
"Wu Zhi, you ........."
Zhu Wen covered his red and swollen face, and looked at Wu Zhi resentfully and couldn't speak.
"Your Zhu family is so awesome, why can't you save you?" Wu Zhi finally looked at Zhu Wen, his face full of disgust, "I was going to let you eat this severed meal, who knew that your mouth was so dirty!" ”
"Guillotine rice?!"
Zhu Wen was stunned.
"Don't you know that the best food in the cell is the severed head?"
The smile on Wu Zhi's face gradually turned cold: "After eating, take it to court!" ”
After speaking, he left the cell without looking back, and Zhu Mian's ghost crying wolf howl and fast shouting were immediately heard behind him.
