Although there were more than a dozen people who were sent to the prison this time, the most unlucky one was Liu Wentai. Because he didn't catch anyone in the Tai Hospital at the beginning, Xu Xun and the three cabinet elders made some small tricks that couldn't be put on the table, so when he finally locked people in, he deliberately explained Zhu Houzhao's words to Qian Ning and the three hundred households on duty.

Not to mention that Qian Ning is the most delicate and clear person, the other three are not human spirits, so the rats and cockroaches that Zhu Houzhao said were deliberately thrown into several nests, although the food is not deductible, but the three meals are sometimes very close to each other, sometimes they are very far away, he is either so hungry that his eyes are dizzy, or he is so full that he can't eat anything.

As a result, Liu Wentai, who is a lot older, can be said to have been tormented. At this moment, he curled up in the corner, and saw that the rats were eating the leftover steamed buns he had eaten not far in front of him, and from time to time he stopped to stare at him with dark eyes for a while, he only felt creepy, and he didn't care to pay attention to the cockroaches scurrying farther away. When he was first thrown here, he had hoped that the three bigwigs in the cabinet would remember the promise made to him, but after a day, two days, and three days, he gradually fell into deep despair, but at this time he just said that he wanted to confess, and the person who delivered the food did not pay any attention.

Therefore, when he heard the footsteps again, he only thought that he was coming to deliver food again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. The last meal had only been eaten for more than half an hour, and his stomach was still full at this time, and now these were completely cheap rats. Of course, it's good that these rats can't take care of him if they have something to eat, otherwise God knows how long he will live!

However, just when he saw the visitor bending slightly in front of the fence, thinking that he would put down his rice bowl, he suddenly heard the sound of the key hitting the lock. After a moment of stunnedness, he sprang up almost as fast as he could in his life, and rushed towards the cell door with a puff of smoke. However, seeing that one of his feet had rushed out, he suddenly grabbed his shoulders and arms, and immediately the whole person was crushed to the ground.

"Old fellow, do you still want to run?"

"No, no, no, my lord, please change my place for me, I will recruit anything, I am willing to recruit anything!"

Qian Ning saw Liu Wentai's embarrassed appearance, frowned, and then glanced at the two young soldiers. Seeing that their boss came forward reluctantly, without saying a word, he picked up Liu Wentai's clothes, and immediately poured a bucket of water on his head, directly making the old man confused, and then he said lightly: "Wash him and bring him out with his clothes, Lord Xu is waiting in the public hall." ”

When the celebrant had not yet grasped the power of approving red, the internal official eunuch used to be the most beautiful one among the twenty-four yamen, but now it is not as good as before, even if he is a eunuch here, the scenery outside is not as good as that of the celebrant and the celebrant in the court. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao locked up all the prisoners here under Liu Jin's instigation, and the inner officials and eunuchs were so happy that they were extremely thoughtful after running forward, completely forgetting that they looked down on those soldiers the most in the past.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Xun arrived before, most of the effort was spent on polite conversations with a few eunuchs, and it was easy to send people away, but Liu Wentai had not yet arrived. He drank half a cup of tea patiently, and then waited until the two young soldiers entered the house with a man with wet hair between the left and the right, threw the man to the ground, and saluted with his hands crossed.

"You guys go out first."

As soon as Xu Xun saw Liu Wentai's embarrassed appearance, he knew what was going on just now. Qian Ning had vaguely mentioned that rats and cockroaches were scurrying around in the cell, and he didn't want to understand the situation, so he had to refer people here for interrogation. At this moment, seeing Liu Wentai lying there extremely pitiful, he asked bluntly: "Judge Liu, what do you want to say now?" ”

"Yes, I have a love report, a love report!" Liu Wentai hurriedly raised his head and shouted two sentences, seeing Xu Xun looking at him with a playful face, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "Lord Xu, Emperor Daxing's illness was originally not small, and after two or three doses of medicine, he could decide to cure the disease, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be sick first, and said something that annoyed Emperor Daxing, Emperor Daxing ordered me not to let people diagnose the pulse, only prescribe some medicine that is not painful or itchy, and prepare to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervise the country." Emperor Daxing also said that only when His Royal Highness is truly in charge of the dynasty and knows the difficulties of governing the country, will he ......"

"Shut up!"

Without waiting for Liu Wentai to finish speaking, Xu Xun slapped the armrest. Seeing that the people below were shaking like sifting chaff, he slowly stood up, and after taking two steps forward, he squatted down in front of Liu Wentai and stared intently at Liu Wentai's eyes. At first, he saw Liu Wentai trying his best to look at him calmly, but gradually, he became a little flustered, and in the end, Suo lowered his eyelids, and at this time, he sneered.

"You put everything on Emperor Daxing, thinking that there is no proof of death, right? Emperor Daxing has always done things uprightly, and rarely uses these little tricks, do you dare to say that it was not instigated by you? In addition, the words you said to the three cabinet elders before, and the words you used to bewitch the queen's mother, do you dare to say that you have not been deceived by rhetoric? Liu Wentai, the matter has come to this point, I might as well tell you that just yesterday, the British Duke and a number of officials have written to impeach you, as well as Zhang Yu, Shi Qin, Gao Wen and these people who used drugs to damage the Emperor Daxing, and they should be punished for the crime of disrespect! ”

Great disrespect!

Liu Wentai used to protect the cabinet, not to protect any future and wealth, but just for his own life. After all, even if a quack doctor kills people according to the law, this beheading is not an immediate execution, and the new emperor always has to give amnesty to the world when he ascends the throne, and if he thinks of other ways, this life can always be saved. But if it is really according to the great disrespect in the Ten Evil Laws, not to mention that he does not want to live, even his family members will be implicated!

"Lord Xu, you are the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please say a few kind words for me, I will repay your kindness as a cow and a horse in my next life!" In a panic, Liu Wentai suddenly burst out with such the most common word in the drama, and when he saw Xu Xun raising his eyebrows slightly, he said with his heart crossed, "I have been a doctor for many years, and my family has a lot of savings." If Lord Xu can spare my life, I am willing to ...... I would like to thank you again for three thousand taels of gold! ”

Three thousand taels of gold?

Xu Xun's heart moved, and he immediately laughed and said, "Judge Liu, you want me to believe you when you talk nonsense?" ”

Hearing that Xu Xun didn't understand the refusal, Liu Wentai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that this young man would be prosperous after entering Beijing, but after all, he was a mortal, where would he not be keen on money, so he smiled more and more flatteringly: "Lord Xu, of course I don't dare to tell lies." As long as you can spare my life, whether it is exile or border fighting, I will thank you for three thousand taels of gold! The money was buried in the ground behind my house, and it was three urns of gold......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Xu Xun's smile suddenly became a little weird, and his heart suddenly jumped, for fear that Xu Xun would have the heart to win money, so he hurriedly added: "Only those things are buried deeply, and they are not together, and they can't be dug up in three or two days......"

"It's okay, what I have is time. In other words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has time. Xu Xun didn't look at Liu Wentai's face that turned into ashes in an instant, and said with a smile, "When you dig up and down the Liu family and dig up those things, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely want to know that you, the judge of the Tai Hospital, who only has hundreds of yuan a year, even if the Emperor Daxing favors you and often rewards you, you will definitely not be able to accumulate such a family fund!" It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth now, when you go to Jinyiwei's edict and prison, I hope that Liu Yuan will sentence you to endure those punishments. ”

After saying this, Xu Xun suddenly shouted: "Come on, drag people down!" ”

"No, no, no!"

Liu Wentai finally woke up from a dream, and when he heard a burst of footsteps, he immediately hugged Xu Xun's legs and shouted in fright: "I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything, Lord Xu, you give me another chance, give me another chance!" ”

"This is the last chance." Xu Xun motioned for the two young soldiers to retreat, and then looked at Liu Wentai condescendingly and said, "I ask you for the last time, if Emperor Daxing took the pill, where did the pill come from, did you instigate it?" And what happened to Emperor Daxing's sudden illness this time? ”

A quarter of an hour later, when Xu Xun finally walked out of the public hall in silence, he saw Qian Ning, who had been guarding outside, waving his hand to signal the two young soldiers to retreat farther away, and he walked forward quickly, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "Remember to put a few cats in the cell to clean up, don't let the rats gnaw this old guy!" Don't play tricks with him anymore on the food, patrol more closely every day, and don't let him lose his life. ”

"Yes, sir, you can rest assured!"

After leaving the inner official prison and coming out of the Huanghua West Gate, Xu Xun only hesitated for a moment before going straight to the Xuanwu Gate. He is the one who has won the gold medal issued by Zhu Houzhao personally, and he can pass through the palace before Emperor Hongzhi is buried, and there is naturally no one to stop him from this journey. When he was sweating profusely and finally came to Qianqingmen again, he happened to bump into Liu Jin.

"Oh, it's Brother Xu!"

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Liu Jin was in charge of the Bell and Drum Division at the beginning of the past two days, although he can't talk about any very powerful role, but after all, the position has been promoted to the eunuch in charge of one of the twenty-four yamen, and from now on he has officially entered the ranks of high-ranking officials, and this time is naturally full of red light. After greeting Xu Xun, he learned that Xu Xun had something to do with Zhu Houzhao, so he smiled and said: "This is a coincidence, I also have something important to play Your Highness, let's go in together!" ”

Xu Xun thought about Liu Wentai's confession, except for the origin of Dan Fang and the fact that Di Luo lived in Jiao Fang's house, there was nothing to interfere with, and it didn't hurt to listen to Liu Jin, so he agreed. However, when he entered the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace again and met Zhu Houzhao with Liu Jin, Liu Jin first said something he didn't expect at all.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the five days you mentioned earlier, the slave and maid thought about whether they could find someone to throw it out first in the outer court, so they went to find Jiao Fang, the servant of the ministry. As soon as he said it, he praised it, saying that it was the first morning of the fifth day to be sympathetic to the hundred officials, and the Wenhua Palace Dynasty was often implemented during the Yongren Xuan Dynasty, which was the most popular, but from your mouth, those stubborn guys would inevitably have to make noise again, and he was willing to be the first to propose this matter, and then lobby some people to second! ”
