August 6 of the second year of Yongle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a dark, damp stone chamber, there was a naked, disheveled young man, with his head hanging down, chained to a stake.

The stone chamber is surrounded by cyan stone walls on three sides, and the side adjacent to the outer aisle is a prison made of iron rods.

This place is one of the two places that terrified all the officials of the DPRK and China.

Penal Department, Heavenly Prison.

The prison of the criminal department is divided into nine floors.

The people imprisoned on each floor are people with different official ranks, or different cultivators.

Therefore, the defense facilities and solidity of each layer are naturally more complete than the first.

And here, is the fourth layer of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, called the Eagle Prison.

It means that whoever is imprisoned will not be able to fly with wings.

At the end of the day, the jailers on duty had just taken over the task from the jailers on the night shift.

It may be because the reputation of this prison is too big, or it may be that this prison is really unbreakable.

All in all, no one dared to break into this prison for twenty years.

Therefore, this also caused these prison guards on duty to not pay attention to this guard.

They usually just drink and shake their heads.

And just as they were proposing to drink a few glasses of morning wine, they heard the heavy prison door being pushed open.

What followed was a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold and gloomy face and very sharp edges and corners.

The man was just wearing a thin dark red brocade robe.

His figure was not athletic, but rather a little thin.

But no one would despise him because of his thin body.

He's just coming here today.

As the secretary of the Criminal Department, he has not been in this prison for three months.

When these prison guards saw the comer, they all stood up tremblingly and saluted respectfully, "Lord Jing."

"Lord Jing".

The middle-aged man just used his sharp eyes to glance at the group of idle prison guards a few times, and said faintly, "Take me to see Ji Gang."

He is the secretary of the criminal department.

Among the six departments, the only one who knows martial arts.

His name is Jing Ge, and his merit has reached the upper realm of the third grade.

"Lord Jing, Lord Jing. It's been more than two months, but that kid still hasn't pleaded guilty." I saw a little official wearing an official uniform and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, beside their Lord Jing, muttering.

Jing Ge did not reply to the words of this little official. He didn't even look at him, he just walked through the dark but deep aisle with his hands behind his back.

In this passageway, there is a brazier every ten paces for lighting or surveillance.

On both sides of the aisle, there was a guilty man who was delirious or weakened and fell to the ground.

Some of them were ragged and their hair was dirty, while others were covered in blood, apparently having just been punished.

Perhaps it was the perennial lack of ventilation that caused the aisle to be filled with this extremely rancid bloody smell.

The stench was unbearable even for the jailers who had been guarding here all year round.

But this Jing Ge did not show the slightest disgust. On the contrary, his dark red brocade robe is more like a foil to his identity as the master of this prison.

For this dark red color is like the color of the blood that is corrupted.

"Master Jing, that kid is here."

And looking at the young man behind the iron fence who was already covered in blood scabs, Jing Ge only said slightly to the little official beside him.

"Open the door, and then you go".

"Yes, sir."

Then, just after the jailers had retreated, Jing Ge took a step forward and entered the cell.

"Look up, I know you're still awake". Jing Ge said coldly.

Immediately after, in this room, there was a sonorous sound of metal colliding.

"You are Ji Gang?". Jing Ge said coldly again.

Yes, this young man is the hundred households of Jinyiwei, Ji Gang.

He was originally a handsome man with a dignified appearance and a slight scholarly atmosphere.

But at this time, he was thin and covered in injuries, and he was no longer in the same state as he was when he got along with Shi Wuwei three months ago.

At this time, although he was sober, he was forced to be sober.

Because it was a painful injury that did not make him unconscious, itchy and not wailing, it was really difficult for him to fall asleep, or to fall into a coma.

I have to say that the lynching of this criminal department, after thousands of years of development, has indeed reached the point of reaching its peak.

Ji Gang is from Jinyiwei, so he naturally knows about the same terrifying punishments in the dungeon of Jinyiwei.

But he didn't expect that the prison of the Criminal Department was not much more merciful than the dungeon of Jinyiwei.

After hearing the shouts of the comer, Ji Gang only raised his head slightly.

But even this small movement implicated injuries all over his body, which made him very painful.

And just when Ji Gang looked at Jing Ge with his somewhat hazy eyes, this Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department was also looking at him.

In fact, for a little person like Ji Gang, Jing Ge only knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart.

Because of the battle of Wushan, the imperial court has won, so even if a squire dies, it is not a big deal for the imperial court.

However, because of yesterday's early dynasty, because of last night's inquiry, it evoked a long-term memory in his heart.

That's why today, he plans to come here to see this young man.

In fact, he could have let Ji Gang go a long time ago.

Because a month ago, someone told him that no clues about Ji Gang's involvement had been found about Li Rengui's death.

However, he did not want to let him go.

It's just because the other party is a Jinyi Weiren and Qin Weiming's person, that's all.

However, he did not expect it. Yesterday morning, Qin Weiming, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, dared to launch a duel against himself in front of the emperor.

In this world, this court, and this rivers and lakes have an unwritten rule.

If one person proposes a duel, the other must fight.

But he originally thought that the emperor would not promise Qin Weiming in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, that barbaric duel like child's play.

But who knows, the emperor just pondered for a moment, and then responded to the other party's request.

In fact, this can be regarded as his negligence.

Since the founding of Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has established the country by force.

And Emperor Taizu, and today's saints, are all people who have achieved the fourth grade.

Therefore, they will not be as disdainful as Wenchen about the rules of those who practice martial arts. On the contrary, there is some appreciation.

And after that, since the Holy One has agreed to this.

He had no choice but to fight.

As a bet on the duel, if Qin Weiming wins, he must no longer continue to detain Ji Gang with rude demands.

And if he wins, Qin Weiming will no longer be able to discuss this matter, and he will be fined for three years.

It's just that the result of his battle with Qin Weiming was not as thrilling as he imagined.

The two of them only went through dozens of moves before they were stopped by the emperor and did not let the two continue to do so.

After all, this is a state affair, not a matter of the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, how could the emperor really let the two fight to the death.

But the victory was not scored, but the result was still out.

The Holy One immediately ordered him to release him tomorrow, and there should be no mistake.

Qin Weiming, on the other hand, was fined for one year to show that he had no court.

Although yesterday's battle was scoreless, it made the young man start to look at it again.

He wanted to know what was the reason why Qin Weiming attached so much importance to this young man.

What is the reason that Qin Weiming dares to propose a duel with himself in front of the emperor.

He didn't sleep all night yesterday.

Yesterday, he checked all the details about the battle in Osan Town.

However, he still failed to find evidence about Ji Gang and killing Li Rengui.

However, although he failed to find any clues, he did find a surprise and discovered something that made him think about it very terrified.

That's why he is going to come here today to inquire in person.
