Chapter 227: Spreading the News
Uncle Hua nodded at him, and Jiwen stepped forward to knock on the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The door opened, and an old man with a lewd face appeared in front of them, looking around vigilantly with a pair of small eyes the size of a mung bean, looking like a mouse that had come out of a hole to steal food, and would flee as soon as there was any movement.
"He's what you're looking for? Is he useful? Uncle Hua asked Ji Wen suspiciously.
"Uncle Hua, don't worry, I won't be wrong." Givin patted his chest confidently, "I can vouch for him, he's definitely the one we're looking for!" ”
Uncle Hua seemed a little uneasy, he looked at the obscene old man in front of him: "What do you call it?" ”
"The villain is nicknamed Hyacinth." The old man laughed.
Uncle Hua nodded towards Ji Wen and stopped talking.
Ji Wen handed a silver ticket to the other party along with a pre-written note: "You also know what I am Ji Wen, this is a thousand taels of silver tickets, please leave this matter to you!" ”
Hyacinth took the silver ticket and glanced at it, read the note again, and said with a bitter face: "I heard about this, but this time is different from usual, maybe I will lose my head!" ”
Ji Wen didn't speak, and handed over a silver ticket: "I'll add another thousand taels!"
"Is it ...... three days?"
Before Hyacinth's words were finished, Ji Wen handed over two more silver tickets: "I'll add another two thousand taels!" ”
Hyacinth's face suddenly burst into laughter: "That's no problem!" No problem! I will not let you down, I will guarantee that everyone in Chang'an City will know within three days! ”
Hyacinth nodded and sent the two out of the door, looking at Ji Wen relieved, Uncle Hua couldn't help but ask, "What is this guy doing?" Why did you give him four thousand taels of silver as soon as you made a move? ”
"There is a kind of person in the rivers and lakes who specializes in finding out and spreading news for others, and this kind of person is commonly known as the wind media." Ji Wen explained, "This time Bao'er's matter is not trivial, if there are no three sects and nine ranks of talented people to help us spread the news, how can we fight with Princess Anle?" ”
……
In the inner hall of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yang was walking out with his hands behind his back, and Jingzhao Yin and Zhou Xian followed behind.
When he arrived at the door, Liu Yang stopped, turned around and said to Zhou Xian: "Zhou Fuyin, you don't need to send it, I have already explained the meaning of Her Royal Highness the princess very clearly, you should understand what to do, right?" ”
"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand!" Zhou Xian nodded and said.
Looking at Liu Yang's arrogant and disappearing back, Zhou Xian couldn't help but "Phew!" With a sigh, he scolded in his heart: "What! It's not just a minion, and the tail is stilted to the sky! ”
Anyway, he is also from the rank of a third-rank official, but he wants to whisper to a subordinate, which makes Zhou Xian very indignant. However, Liu Yang did not represent himself, but Princess Anle, who was known as the first princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he came to deliver a message to Zhou Xian, and Zhou Xian had to grovel.
In fact, Zhang Baoer's murder case is very simple, he has already experienced corpses, and the dagger on Lu Yu's body cannot be stabbed into it by Zhang Baoer. When the blood on Lu Yu's body spurted out, it was first sprayed on Lu Yu's own hand, although Zhang Baoer was also sprayed with blood, but there were no blood stains on his hands, which can prove that the dagger was stabbed into the chest by Lu Yu himself, which means that Lu Yu committed suicide without a doubt.
It was originally a very simple case, but with the involvement of Princess Anle, it was not simple. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Princess Anle covers the sky with one hand, she can say that the white is black, and the living can be said to be dead.
Since Zhang Baoer has been sentenced to death in advance by Princess An Le in her heart, he will definitely not live. Over the years, Zhou Xian has seen too many such things.
Zhou Xian had also heard about the Jingning Gold Mine case, and he was originally suspicious of Princess Anle's statement that she was the person behind the scenes, but now he believed it. Since Princess An Le can keep Feng Gui and You Tao in their mouths forever, she will naturally not let go of Zhang Bao'er, the initiator.
Thinking of Feng Gui and You Tao, Zhou Xian's face suddenly changed. Feng Gui and You Tao died in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department became the scapegoat. If Zhang Bao'er died in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, wouldn't he have to ......
……
Zhou Xian is not unfounded, his instincts are correct.
Liu Yang came out of Zhou Xian's inner hall and did not go back to the princess's mansion directly, but turned a corner and came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.
The prison of Jingzhao Mansion was built on the west side of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and as soon as you enter the gate, you will see the prison gate of the prison to the left. The prison is an independent courtyard, surrounded by the thickest of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and the walls are full of thorns and thorns.
It was obviously not the first time Liu Yang had been here, and he found the warden in the "prison hall" of the prison. The two are like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and they don't know what to talk about.
About half a pillar of incense work, Liu Yang leisurely left the Jingzhao Mansion Prison.
After sending Liu Yang away, the warden led the jailer to the light prison in the south.
The prison in Jingzhao Province is divided into heavy prison and light prison.
The northern part of the compound is the Heavy Prison, which houses prisoners of serious crimes and prisoners of capital crimes.
To the south of the compound is the Light Prison, which houses prisoners who are to be sentenced to prison for up to a prison sentence.
The cells were no different from the ordinary houses in Chang'an, except that the windows were smaller, the walls were thicker, and the walls were made of bricks to prevent prisoners from digging into the walls and escaping.
"Open the prison door!" The warden instructed the jailer guarding the door.
Seeing that the top boss was coming, the jailer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door of the light prison.
The warden led a few of the jailers who had come with him and walked straight to a cell.
In the cell, Zhang Baoer was sitting on the straw mat in the corner, silently thinking about her thoughts.
Zhang Bao'er wears a fifteen-pound flail around her neck, which is a restraint made of dry wooden boards, and a round hole is dug in the middle to tie her neck.
Zhang Baoer also wears a "hand stick" on her hand, which is a torture tool for a mechanic.
The warden walked up to Zhang Bao'er's cell, stared at him and asked, "Are you Zhang Bao'er?" ”
Zhang Bao'er raised her head and nodded at the warden.
"Who are you messing with, do you have to mess with Her Royal Highness Princess Anle?" The warden couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I've heard about you, it stands to reason that you are a man, I should be polite to you, but someone has confessed, you have to die here, and I can't do it." ”
After listening to the warden's words, Zhang Baoer couldn't help shouting: "Even if you want me to die, you have to go through the lobby to say it, you have no right to want me to die!" ”
The warden smiled and looked at Zhang Bao'er with disdain: "You're right, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I don't have the right to let you die." But in fact, there are not a few people who died here, some were beaten to death, some were nailed to death with iron nails, some were doused with boiling water, and some were killed by other prisoners! ”
Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened, he was a little scared in his heart, things had developed to this point, and it seemed that they were no longer under his control.
