Wang Sili said that Yan Gaoqing was wronged because Yang Guozhong covered the sky with one hand! But in my opinion, it's not that simple! Bu Yunfei said: "If it was in the past, Yang Guozhong was in power, but now, An Lushan rebelled, Yang Guozhong clearly won a game, in fact, he and An Lushan are the same as big losers!" The emperor may still trust him for the time being because of Yang Yuhuan, but if he wants to cover the sky with one hand, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! Therefore, I suspect that even if we kill Yang Guozhong, it will not be so easy to avenge Yan Gaoqing! ”

"Big brother is saying that there are other people in the court who prevent us from avenging Yan Taishou! Who is this person? Could it be Colliers? Chao Yongzhi asked.

"Gao Lishi has this ability, and besides, Ma Sui and Li Riyue are missing, Gao Lishi can't get out of it!" Bu Yunfei said: "However, there is no reason for him to do this!" ”

"Who could that be?"

"I don't know." Bu Yunfei shook his head and said, "I thought that as long as we entered Beijing with Zhang Tongyou's confession, Yan Gaoqing's grievances would be revealed to the world!" However, after Wang Sili's incident, I think things are not so simple! Wang Sili said that Yan Gaoqing's affairs in Changshan have long been known to everyone! But the court just didn't rehabilitate him, and it was impossible for a Yang Guozhong to cover the sky with one hand! The water in the Tang Dynasty is too deep! ”

Bu Yunfei sighed in his heart, the history of the Tang Dynasty that he mastered turned out to be something floating on the water, and the real history would not be written into the history books!

"Wang Sili should know the truth behind the scenes!"

"He may know, or he may be like us, he doesn't know anything!" Bu Yunfei said.

"Then are we still going to Beijing?" Cui Shuquan asked.

The four of them stopped moving.

"Xiao swallowed, Qin E dreamed of Qin Louyue. Qin Louyue, willow color every year, Baling hurts goodbye.

Leyou original Shangqing Autumn Festival, Xianyang Ancient Road sound dust...... The sound of the Xianyang Ancient Road is absolutely dusty! Bu Yunfei let out a long sigh.

In front of them, a large road winds its way forward, on the western horizon, into the snow-capped mountains. There was no one around, and the cold wind was howling, filling this avenue with a murderous atmosphere.

It is the Xianyang Ancient Road, which appears repeatedly in China's vast classics!

For more than 2,000 years, this Xianyang Ancient Road has long become a mood in the hearts of the Chinese, and this earliest and most extensive official road in Chinese history is no longer a road in the minds of the Chinese, but a distant, murderous, lonely and unpredictable future!

Bu Yunfei said: "Yan Gaoqing's grievances, whether the emperor admits it or not, have already been revealed to the world!" Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the historical books are brilliant through the ages. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you can't stuff the mouths of the world! ”

Cui Shuquan said: "Big brother is right, everyone in the world knows that Yan Gaoqing is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. There's no need for us to go to Beijing to avenge our grievances. ”

Bu Yunfei said in a deep voice: "We must enter Beijing!" ”

"But big brother, didn't you mean ......"

"Enter Beijing and rescue Yan Quanying!"

Baye Gu Lang said: "Big brother is right! Let's go to Beijing, if nothing else, just Miss Yan! ”

Chao Yongzhi also said: "Yes, the father and son of the Yan family are dead, we have to leave a note for the Yan family!" ”

"What about you?" Bu Yunfei looked at Cui Shuquan and said.

"Since the three elder brothers are going to enter Beijing, how can the younger brother be left behind!"

"Cui Shuquan, follow me step by step, you have to take a risk!" Bu Yunfei said.

Cui Shuquan raised his head and said: "Big brother, little brother, I have been gambling for more than 20 years, and it is time to do something serious!" ”

The crowd laughed.

"Okay, go to Beijing and do serious things!" Bu Yunfei shouted.

The four of them spurred their horses and galloped away along the Xianyang Ancient Road.

……

Chang'an, Dali Temple Prison, the night is thick.

Yan Quanying was draped in shackles and crouched on the straw mat under the corner.

The flail version is two feet five inches long, one foot four inches wide, and three inches in diameter, almost covering Yan Quanying's slender body.

However, this is only a flail. Tang law, prisoner equipment has flail, staff, pestle, lock, its type, specification and weight, there are detailed regulations. Among them, the flail is more than 2 feet 5 inches long and less than 6 inches, 1 foot 4 inches long and less than 6 inches, and the diameter is more than 3 inches and less than 4 inches. There is only an inch difference between the light flail and the heavy ga in length, width, and diameter.

Don't underestimate this inch, in martial arts, there is an inch long and an inch dangerous, but in the torture instrument, one inch is only different, and if it is worn on the neck of the prisoner, there is a thousand differences.

Yan Quanying was only wearing a pair of light flails, but for female prisoners, especially for official women like Yan Quanying, this so-called light flail had made her miserable. She could only crouch on a straw mat and prop the flail on the ground to relieve the pressure on her neck and shoulders. Every time he turned over, he had to exert all his strength, and his neck was under tremendous pressure, and in just one day, a deep blood groove was grinding out on Yan Quanying's white neck, and the blood soaked through the collar and flowed on the flail, forming a dark purple blood circle.

However, Yan Quanying's body only has a flail, no pistol.

The pestle is a torture instrument that imprisons the hands, and when used in combination with the flail, it can completely immobilize a person.

Because she didn't have a pestle, she could use her hands to support her body and change her position, so that her body would not become stiff and twisted in the long confinement.

It's not just a treat.

In the Tang Dynasty, the criminal law and the use of torture instruments were strictly hierarchical. Flails, rods, pestles, and locks are used according to the severity of the crime. "Death penalty is in a flail", which means that a condemned prisoner should be put in a flail and a loaf.

Yan Quanying only has a flail on her body, but no pestle, which shows that, at least for now, she has not been sentenced to death.

An oil lamp flickered in the corner of the room, illuminating the dim cell even more gloomily.

The prisons of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two systems: central and local. The local system is the prisons set up by the provinces, states, and counties. The central system is Dali Temple Prison and Yushitai Prison.

Dali Temple Prison mainly detains criminal officials from various ministries, departments, temples and prisons of the central government, as well as important criminals in the capital, as well as prisoners and felons who are sent to the capital from other places. The Imperial History Prison, also known as the Taiwan Prison, mainly accepts officials impeached by the Imperial History and major criminals assigned by the emperor.

Comparatively speaking, the detention conditions in Yushitai Prison are better than those in Dali Temple Prison. However, people would rather go to Dali Temple Prison than Yushitai Prison.

Because, those who are imprisoned in Yushitai Prison are all people who are targeted by the emperor, and most of them have no way to live. And the prisoners who enter the Dali Temple Prison always have a glimmer of life. Just like the current Yan Quanying, she is in a flail but not with a pestle.

However, the so-called glimmer of life is only relative.

In fact, the people detained in the Central Prison, whether it is Dali Temple or Yushitai, are all felons of the imperial court, and even if they are not sentenced to death, they cannot survive the unspoken rules of prison.

Their lives, in fact, were worth only fifty taels of silver!

In other words, if someone wanted them to die, it only cost fifty taels of silver, and the jailers would "die a normal death" according to the bounty's demand!

They will die seamlessly, and even a seasoned coroner will not see the slightest flaw.

On the contrary, the prisoners detained in the Goshitai Prison did not have the fear of a "normal death". Because, all criminals who are targeted by the emperor should be executed by the imperial court, and they must not "die a normal death" in prison before the execution.

Yan Quanying was arrested in Wei Jiansu's mansion in the imperial history, and she was imprisoned with Wei Jiansu's wife, children, and servants, a total of more than 80 people.

However, on the way to the escort, the detainees transferred Yan Quanying out of the crowd, Wei Jiansu's family was escorted to Yushitai Prison, and Yan Quanying was taken to Dali Temple Prison alone.

Perhaps, the detention believes that Yan Quanying is not qualified to enter the Yushitai Prison.

In the prison, the cries, moans, and pleadings of the female prisoners and the shouts of the prison guards came and went.

From their crying, Yan Quanying could hear that they were all "thieves"!

That is, the families of those officials in the capital who had an affair with An Lushan.

In the past, Dali Temple Prison was mainly used to imprison court officials, so the cells here were always empty.

However, almost overnight, the Dali Temple Prison became overcrowded.

An Lushan rebelled, the emperor was furious, Yang Guozhong made a list of officials who intersected with An Lushan, there were as many as 100 people, and the forbidden army arrested people according to the list. In the list, there are indeed An Lushan's eyes and ears in the imperial court, but the vast majority have nothing to do with An Lushan, they are just Yang Guozhong's political enemies, and even, some people, are just potential political enemies!

The officials were imprisoned in the Yushitai Prison, while their relatives were imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison.

In this way, Yan Quanying also belongs to the "thief genus"! In other words, the imperial court has already determined that her father Yan Gaoqing is a traitor!

In the next cell, a terrible cry suddenly rang out, echoing through the gloomy cell.

Yan Quanying propped her hands on the ground and raised her head with difficulty, her pale face was full of tears.

That howl showed that another prisoner had "died of illness"!

In just one day, ten prisoners in the neighborhood had "died of illness", and ten prisoners had ten lives, that is, five hundred taels of silver.

The shouts of the jailers and the whipping of the whip sounded, and the wailing came to an abrupt end.

The prison suddenly became deadly silent.

Footsteps sounded outside the cell, and there was a creak, and the cell door opened.

A sturdy female jailer walked into the cell, came to Yan Quanying's side, and squatted down: "Yan Quanying, do you recognize me?" ”

Yan Quanying held the flail and let herself sit up against the wall, just one got up, Yan Quanying was already panting, the flail wore through the wound on her neck, and blood burst out.

Her face was covered with blood, and the girl's beauty was gone, only those eyes, still shining with stubborn essence.

"Aunt Xu!" Yan Quanying ninja was in sharp pain from the wound on his neck, and gritted his teeth and said.
