The prison of the criminal department, also known as the prison of heaven, is the place where the criminal department detains felons, most of which are prisoners who are guilty of serious crimes, and the people of later generations imagine that they kill people at will, the Ming Dynasty is extremely strict about the death penalty, not only to go through the county, government, province, criminal department and finally the imperial pen Zhu Approval layer by layer review, the power of execution has also been in the hands of the central government. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

All prisoners sentenced to death are escorted to the prison for final approval and then executed after the autumn, and before that, the prisoners are held in the prison to be put to death.

It is precisely because of this that there are many so-called people in the rivers and lakes who always want to go to the Criminal Department to rob the prison, so the surrounding area of the Criminal Department has always been heavily guarded, but today, in addition to the ordinary guard sergeants, there is another group of uninvited guests in front of the prison of the Criminal Department.

The warden who was in charge of the prison was a knowledgeable man, and when he saw that the leader was dressed in a blue-black shirt with a blue and black chest and a narrow-sleeved shirt with a black gauze and gold curved horn, he knew that this man was a chamberlain, and that he could not afford to provoke him.

Moreover, these men only stood guard in front of the door and did not make any other moves, so the warden did not pay attention to him, but only ordered the soldiers to guard them strictly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he wanted to turn around, he saw several old men in scarlet robes walking in the distance, followed by more than a dozen guards behind him, which could be regarded as a mighty man, but when the warden's eyes fell on one of them, he was suddenly startled.

Lord Zhao, the secretary of the criminal department!

And what surprised him even more was that his top boss was actually on the left among the three, and the old man in the middle was wearing a scarlet robe to show his identity.

An adult of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

And looking at the color of this costume, it is actually the rumored cold-faced Yushi Zuodu Yushi Zhenji?

Looking at the last person standing among the three people, he was also wearing a scarlet robe, but he didn't know which adult in the yamen was this, but looking at the direction they came from, it was clearly his own prison in the criminal department.

For a moment, the warden was excited, and hurriedly prepared to summon people to greet him.

But what shocked him even more was that the group of people who were originally quietly guarding on the sidelines were actually led by the attendant and directly blocked the way of several adults.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why did you lead people before the prison of the Criminal Department, and why did you block our way? ”

It was Zhen Zhenji who spoke, and he naturally saw that the person in charge was the inner servant, so he was not in a hurry to get angry, waved his hand to repel the guards who wanted to come forward, and arched his hand and asked.

"Don't dare to be the Governor of the Constitution, our Shou Wangfu flatters Zheng Wang An, I have seen the Sincere Commander-in-Chief, Zhao Shangshu, Dong Siqing!"

This chamberlain is Wang An, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, took out a token, and said.

"Three adults, our family is waiting here today on the orders of His Royal Highness King Shou!"

"His Royal Highness King Shou?"

Zhen Zhenji looked around and frowned.

"Today's trial of the case of His Royal Highness's attack, His Majesty has ordered His Highness to personally supervise the trial, and the old man and others have already informed the Shouwang Mansion of the news, why is there no trace of His Highness now?"

"Back to Lord Zongxian, I'm really sorry, the trial has indeed been decided, but early this morning, the queen mother urgently summoned my Royal Highness into the palace, so His Royal Highness was afraid that it would be difficult to rush back today, so he sent our family to wait here, and wanted to discuss with the three of them, can this case be postponed for one day, and after His Royal Highness my family leaves the palace, the trial will be held?"

Wang An bowed and said politely.

However, the face on the other side was not very good-looking, Zhen Zhenji frowned, and was silent, but Dong Yu, the secretary of Dali Temple on the side, took two steps forward and sneered.

"Hmph, this is a case that will be tried by the three divisions, not to mention that we are all busy with official business, and it is not easy to squeeze out time, how can we say that we will change the time if we change the time? Get out of the way, don't delay the hour! ”

Anyway, the next step is to move forward.

In his opinion, with just one palace servant, could it be that he really dared to stand in the way of the three of them?

However, what he didn't expect was that although Wang An was smiling, the guards behind him stepped forward silently and blocked Dong Yu's way forward.

"Is it difficult for you to still want to force us to resist?"

Dong Yu suddenly felt like he had been slapped on his face, and he turned around and said angrily.

A mere waiter, does he really dare to refute his face?

"Our family doesn't dare, but when I came, my Royal Highness ordered, please wait until he arrives before opening the court, after all, His Majesty's will clearly ordered His Highness to personally supervise the trial, and now His Highness has not arrived, it is not justified to open the court rashly, right?"

Wang An still had a smile on his face, but it was not at Dong Yu, but at Zhen Zhenji opposite.

After a pause, he turned his head and smiled, looking at Dong Yudao.

"This is Lord Dong Yudong, the secretary of Dali Temple, right? Your son-in-law's fetish is Qingqi! ”

After following Zhu Changluo for a long time, Wang An's mind is also very transparent, as early as a few years ago, when they just left the palace, this Lord Dong looked lukewarm to His Royal Highness, and now it is because Zhu Changluo embarrassed his son in public when he chose a horse and held a grudge, for this kind of person, there is no need to be polite at all!

"Bold! You are a crippled and lowly eunuch, and you dare to mock your own officials! ”

Dong Yu has been unable to hold his face these days because of his son's incident, and he has been holding his tail in the capital to be a man, but at this moment, Wang An mentioned the scar, and he was even more angry, and scolded angrily.

"My lord is serious, our family is indeed disabled, but even if we are disabled, we are much better than those who have broken their sleeves Longyang!"

Wang An's face suddenly turned cold, and he said lukewarmly.

"You!"

Dong Yu was angry, but looking at the group of guards behind Wang An, he didn't dare to continue to step forward, so he had to turn around and say angrily.

"Zhao Shangshu, this is the territory of the Criminal Department, do you just let such eunuchs go wild?"

Zhao Huan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a person with a gentle personality, but he was involved in the turmoil for no reason, but he couldn't cry or laugh on his face, looking at Dong Yu's angry appearance, he had to cough twice and said helplessly.

"Ahem, Dong Siqing, as a member of the imperial court, you still have to pay attention to some manners when you speak......"

It's just that he couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, no wonder this Dong Yu has been mixed up for so many years, and he still can't enter the position of the head of the sixth department, this Qingliu scribe is indeed despising eunuchs, but it is too much to show it blatantly like him.

A mouthful of eunuchs, lowly people, to the ears of those big people in the palace, how to think?

The gentlemen who didn't see the cabinet had to salute each other and salute each other when they saw them, and saluted their fathers-in-law?

What's more, this Wang An seems to be just a flatterer, but with the golden order of His Royal Highness King Shou in his hand, he is clearly a henchman in his heart, if His Royal Highness King Shou really ascends the throne one day, then there must be this one in the position of the celebrant eunuch, and it is very unwise to offend Wang An to death at this time......

But in the final analysis, he and Dong Yu are still colleagues, and after easing the situation a little, he took two steps forward and said.

"This internal envoy, you see that we are indeed on official business, not to mention that it is now the month of Layue, and then there is a half-moon court will be sealed, it is really delayed, it is better to be like this, since His Royal Highness is not in time, the internal envoy will be in the audit, and the left and right today is only the preliminary trial, and it is expected that there will not be too important, after the internal envoy goes back, carefully explain to His Royal Highness King Shou, it is the same!"

"Zhao Shangshu is polite, call our family Wang An!"

Looking at Zhao Huan's polite appearance, Wang An suddenly had a smile on his face again, and said equally politely.

But after a while, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said.

"Lord Shangshu, it's not easy for our family to be considerate of adults, but adults should also be considerate and considerate of our family, isn't it? His Royal Highness strictly ordered that if he did not come, he could not start the trial, and Wang An's status was low, and he did not dare to try the case on behalf of His Highness. ”

"Our family knows that the three adults are very busy, but this case is personally ordered by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and it involves a big case of attacking the prince, our family thinks, there will be no more urgent cases than this case, no matter how busy the adults are, they must be able to spare time!"

He spoke politely, but his attitude was firm, and if he said that he would not give way, he would not give way.

"Sincerely, look at this ......"

Zhao Huan was helpless, so he had to turn his head to look at Zhen Zhenji, who had been silent.

But seeing that he was also embarrassed, he heard Zhao Huan ask, the square character of the chief constitution was silent for a moment, and was about to speak, but he heard a gentle voice in the distance.

"This king is a moment late, and you have been waiting for a long time!"

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the young man was dressed in civilian clothes, riding the prince's guard of honor, and rushed over to this side......
