"I don't know how many convicts have been tried here." Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu said on the side: "Like Lord Wang, he will be honest after a few days, and he will confess how he should confess." ”

Xu Dahua vaguely seemed to hear people's cries and pleadings, although the heat wave around him was steaming, he still felt a chill, I don't know how many officials and wealthy businessmen have been locked up in this north office over the years, ordinary people can't get here, I don't know how many officials and gentry and rich businessmen have been tortured by all kinds of torture here, and I don't know how many people have died here!

And Wang Xinyi has been dragged in like a dead dog, a prisoner like him is destined to die in prison, no one will sympathize with him, he may be tortured to death in a short time, thinking of Wang Xinyi's various tragic conditions, after a shudder, Xu Dahua immediately surrendered his hand, in this life, he doesn't want to come to this kind of place for a second time.

……

Compared with Wang Xinyi, Zhang Xuzong, Wu Bohe and others are treated much better.

Wu Bohe has long stayed in Beijing, originally he was the same as the last long follower to hide is nothing, but Wu Bohe is not reconciled, in the Beijing division activities everywhere, attracted people's attention, a few days ago I heard that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are arresting him, Wu Bohe immediately escaped from Beijing, after inquiring about Xu Dahua's convoy halfway, he himself took the initiative to go to the case, Xu Dahua was surprised by this person's decisiveness, but did not embarrass him, and locked him and Zhang Xuzong together.

Wu Bohe is of course right to do this, with his status, as long as the court pursues him, where can the world be accommodated? In order to be caught like a rat, it is better to choose the best time to take the initiative to surrender yourself.

It is better to surrender in Beijing than to surrender to Xu Dahua, judging from this choice, Wu Bohe is indeed a smart person.

Lord Xu is a little strange, Wang Xinyi has such a staff, how could he do the stupid thing of impeaching Wei Zhongxian?

The prison of the Criminal Department is not so terrible, although the sanitary conditions are also very bad, the cells are not ventilated, and all kinds of stenches come to the face, but everyone's hearts are quite sure, whether it is interrogation or torture here, there are rules here, which is much stronger than the dark Jinyi Weibei.

Wu Bohe was a person, he recognized a secretary of the Criminal Department, and he still had some silver on him, and after the trustee and the secretary took over, he gave another 200 taels to someone, and finally he was locked up in a single room with better conditions, and Zhang Xuzong was locked up in the adjacent cell of Wu Bohe because he was a key criminal.

The urine bucket was in the middle of the house, and during the meal, the jailer brought a bucket of swill, poured some black vegetable soup into each person's crockpot, and each of them gave another nest, which was considered food.

Wu Bohe said to the jailer: "Can I spend my own money on food supply in the future?" ”

The jailer felt that this person was a god of wealth, and he had already spent three hundred dollars when he came in, and replied with a smile: "What do you always want to eat, as long as you give silver, we will run errands for you, as long as Beijing City has it, and you can swim in the water in the sky and on the ground." ”

"Okay." Wu Bohe thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is a casserole house in Wagang City, and the white meat in it is not bad, please run an errand for me to buy one, and then bring some meat buns and steamed buns, and two meals a day will be enough." ”

The jailer counted the silver and asked for the price at three times the price, Wu Bohe is a human spirit, knowing that this is a convention, he also made some money in Wang Xinyi's scene, knowing that entering the criminal department is luck, it is nothing more than breaking the fortune and eliminating disasters, these villains are also limited in what they want, there is no need to offend them, although they are frowning and pretentious at the moment, it seems a little painful, but they still give the silver at the full price.

When the jailer was about to leave, Wu Bohe suddenly stopped, gave some broken silver, and said with a smile: "Bother the old man to bring more." He pouted to Zhang Xuzong and said, "I came here in a car with this brother, and he didn't have any money, so I had to take care of him a little more." ”

The jailer cocked his thumb and praised: "Master Wu really didn't say it, don't worry, within half an hour, I will definitely call you to eat." ”

The jailer asked people to buy food, and Wu Bohe was determined that although he was hungry, he would not eat the prison food, but others were not as related to him as he was, and the sound of eating sounded everywhere in the cell, and the smell of rancid food spread, which made people feel disgusting.

This is also the feeling that only the prisoners who have just come in, after living here for a long time, the sense of smell and taste will naturally deteriorate, not to mention the food in front of them, even if it is worse, it is also very suitable for people to eat.

Zhang Xuzong sat on the ground with a pale face, never looking at the prison food, Wu Bohe knew that this young man had fallen into great despair, and if there was no hope, he would probably die in prison in a short time.

Wu Bohe thought for a while and said to Zhang Xuzong: "Brother, why do you have to do this? It's not like you won't have a way to live if you leave Heyusheng, your family still wants you to go back. A few acres of thin fields, poetry and wine to entertain themselves, will not be able to live? Even from then on, you will be angry, and then study the scriptures and righteousness to take the exam, you are only in your twenties, how can your life be like this? ”

Wu Bohe's words were indeed very moving, and Zhang Xuzong suddenly sobered up from his confused emotions!

After sobering up, there was still endless pain, looking at Wu Bohe, Zhang Xuzong said: "The clan has already discussed that I have been removed from the family tree." ”

"Blind, you're young." Wu Bohe smiled and said: "The Zhang family in Puzhou, either remove you and deny your statement that Zhang Han is going to rebel, or you will talk about Zhang Han's rebellion with you, which of the two choices is easier?" With you, if Zhang Han's rebellion is confirmed, the clan will be implicated, deny the rebellion, even if Zhang Han has no way to get rid of the crime, the Zhang family in Puzhou is still only implicated, two choices, if you are the person in charge of the clan, which one do you choose? ”

Zhang Xuzong said: "What does Master Wu mean is that the clan didn't really remove me?" ”

"It's nature." Wu Bohe said: "If you can get rid of your sins and go back, the clan will definitely give you the property and let you live in peace." ”

"I can't go back." Zhang Xuzong's face showed a look of fear, and he said: "Zhang Han's methods, Master Wu will always understand now?" I'm going back, and I'm going to die in vain. ”

Wu Bohe also showed an unnatural look, and he said: "I also felt inappropriate about the twist earlier, but now it seems to be ......."

"What Wang Xun pressed, it was Zhang Han who did it!" Zhang Xuzong shouted: "It's not the Field Service Bureau or the Military Intelligence Bureau, when you pick people, you will pick those who are good at picking locks and climbing over walls with incense, and then you have to train for half a year, those people can do anything, and they are all experts in doing evil things outside, murderers who don't blink an eye!" Fake a fold, what is it to them! ”

Zhang Xuzong has mentioned this topic many times, and he is simply afraid of Zhang Han's subordinates to the bone, Wu Bohe still felt disapproving at the beginning, thinking that it was Zhang Xuzong's exaggeration, and now he doesn't believe it very much, but he feels that there is indeed a problem with the twist, he thought about it and said: "Brother Xuzong, you must insist on what you say, don't repeat it." Even if you want to boil the sentence now, you will change it after at least a few beatings, and if you try it again in the future, it will be said that you can't change the sentence but you will change your words, and if people scare you, it will not be easy to turn over the case in the future, and it will be a big trouble. ”

Zhang Xuzong said: "Can the case be overturned in the future?" ”

"Sure." Wu Bohe lowered his voice and said slowly: "Our case is the end of Wei Daguan, my Dongweng has no way to save it, but we have a chance, in the future, the Donglin Party will inevitably gain momentum again, once someone wants to use this case to attack the eunuch party, we have the value of use, and there must be many people in the criminal department who got the news, so I opened the joint so easily, otherwise with me alone, even if I have a little old friendship, with this identity and this bit of silver, how can I be taken care of so easily?" ”

Zhang Xuzong knows very little about the affairs of the court, and he knows some of what he saw and heard when he was an attendant officer by Zhang Han's side, and he didn't care about doing things, if Zhang Xuwen knew more, he was also ignorant at this time, but he seemed to be the one who was going to drown, Wu Bohe stretched out a stick to him, of course, he was busy and firmly grasped.

Zhang Xuzong said: "Uncle Wu, I am still young, I will listen to you in everything in the future, and I will say whatever you tell me to say......"

Wu Bohe smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, stabilize the ......" At this time, the jailer returned and bought a pot of white meat from the Shaguo House in Wagang City, the meat was fat but not greasy, and the aroma was fragrant, and the people in the entire cell smelled the aroma.

Most of the prisoners who were held here were prisoners who had no one to rescue, or ordinary people, among whom there were many death row inmates, and those who were poorly treated could only eat prison food all the time, and when the food came, the aroma was overflowing, and the whole cell rioted.

The jailer did not panic, he found a few helpers, took a stick, and the most powerful cell reached out for a stick, and then there was a scream, and it was estimated that many people were discounted or their fingers were broken, and after a circle, no one dared to call except for low moans and curses.

"You always have to eat, don't dare to be disturbed." The jailer turned around, set up the meal for Wu Bohe, and took Zhang Xuzong out of the cell and put him in Wu Bohe's cell.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of troubles in the triage of the three law divisions." The jailer said: "For more than ten days, no one will come to interrogate the two." ”

Wu Bohe said with a smile: "It's just a master to go down, nothing is our turn, eat meat and drink wine here with peace of mind, and when the matter is over, set up a table in the sand pot house, please have a drink." ”

The jailer smiled and waited for the two to eat and drink before leaving.

The sky was getting dark, and it was already very dark in this cell, and he could barely see his five fingers, but fortunately, Wu Bohe was well treated, and after lighting the lamp, he had a detailed conversation with Zhang Xuzong.

Wu Bohe is planning to take Zhang Xuzong's line, and in the future interrogation and Zhang Xuzong as one, he is a risk-taking person, it can be seen that although Wei Gelding is powerful now, but the future is difficult to say, if Wei Gelding's power is too large, it is likely to be restricted by the emperor, just like Liu Jin, even if the Donglin Party is defeated for a while, it is impossible for a eunuch like Wei Zhongxian to remain in power, the country has been in power for more than 200 years, there are many examples like Wei Zhongxian, and most of the ends are not good.

If you take the line of Zhang Xuzong, you can win a good reputation in the big case in the future, and you may be appreciated by the bigwigs in the way and directly promoted to an official, in this way, you will not sit in such a prison in vain, even if you can't get an official, you can earn a good reputation in the future and become an influential local squire.

I called it yesterday, and there are a lot more tickets today, thank you.
