On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Deng Ji led the two brothers Deng Shi and Deng Zhang, surrounded by a group of black iron guards, along the street to the Tingwei Mansion, one of the former Jiuqing.

After the Yang incident, Deng Ji made people carefully interrogate, and Yang Pan, Yang Huan, Yang Yun, and Yang Li's confessions all said that the matter had nothing to do with Jiao's and Deng She, and the same was true of the information transcribed by the Taipings. Only Yang Tai claimed to be Jiao Qin's instructions during the preliminary trial, but even Yang Zun, who was on duty in General Wei's mansion, had rare contact with Jiao Qin on weekdays because of the separation of the front and back yards.

The Taiping people who appeared under their rule are now being compiled by Jia Xu and Tian Chou, preparing to use the key figures as the backbone to form an internal secret agent organization, which is called the Taiping people. Xu Shu is in charge of the detailed work of the outside detectives, Tian Feng and Tian Chou are busy with government affairs, and the Taiping people can only be governed by Jia Xu for the time being.

After this incident, an iceberg was born between Wu Wei and Jiao Qin again, except for Deng Wei's occasional walk, the two sides did not communicate again.

It's just that the persuasion between the two women can't be reconciled, such a big general's mansion, it's just a matter of seeing each other less. What made Deng Ji even more headache was Deng Shi and Deng Zhang, the former brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, and they didn't talk about it at all, no matter how Deng Ji scolded him, how Deng Zhong, Zhou Zhao and others explained, the two brothers each regarded each other as air, and they only ignored each other when they were reluctant to be together.

Just like now, although the two brothers rode behind Deng Ji, their eyes never stayed on each other.

This matter was originally framed by outsiders, and Deng Ji also regretted that it was a little too heavy at this time for the whipping of the two brothers in the previous anger, but in this era, there was no reason for a father to apologize to his son, so he never mentioned it again.

Passing through the streets, the people on the side of the road saw the procession, many of them were respectfully saluting and giving way, and Deng Ji was upset. But he had to pretend to have a smile on his face, and even when he met an old acquaintance who had gone south from the Hou Kingdom, he had to stop and talk to them for a few words.

When he arrived at Tingwei's Mansion, the hundred people who were temporarily arranged to guard Tingwei Prison here welcomed Deng Zhan out: "Lord! ”

Tingwei is the official in charge of the prison, and the Tingwei Prison located in the Tingwei's mansion is the central prison, which is dedicated to the management of serious offenders. It is equivalent to an edict prison, and there are many prisons in Luoyang City, and ordinary prisoners will not be imprisoned here. After Deng Ji became the ruler of Luoyang, Tingwei Prison has been idle and unused, and he was imprisoned before the defeat of Che Xiaobing, and he was not imprisoned here.

When he arrived at Tingwei Prison, Deng Ji dismounted and said to Deng Zhan: "My father and son go in, you can wait for the guards outside the door!" ”

This place is abandoned. There is no cell boss in the prison, and now it is temporarily taken care of by the black iron guards, knowing that Deng Ji and those few people in the prison do not want outsiders to hear, Deng Zhan went back to the prison and shouted a few times, summoning all the black iron guards inside.

Deng Ji then led his two sons inside.

The prison was poorly ventilated, and the grease was lit, and the air was a little stuffy.

In order to prevent the prisoners from colluding in confessions, the cells of the Yang family were far away from each other. Deng Ji led Deng Shi and Deng Zhang into it, and looked at the prison cells one by one.

Yang Zun cut off his tongue. Unable to stop the bleeding, already dying of excessive bleeding; Yang Huan's husband and wife turned against each other, Yang Huan was not only tortured, but also had several scars on his face's wife; Yang Tai kept crying and begging for mercy.

These few were not much touched, but when he saw Yang Pan, who was still covered in blood, Deng Shi was a little unbearable. stepped forward and cried over the wooden fence.

Hearing the sound, Yang Pan looked up and saw that it was Deng She, so he lay on the ground and grinned at him. The two of them cried and laughed across the wooden fence. But they didn't say anything.

Deng Ji's feet did not stop, and he had already led Deng Zhang to cross first.

Yang Pan smirked, pointed his finger at himself, then at Deng She, and finally at Deng Ji's back.

Deng Shi probably understood what he meant, nodded, waved his sleeves to wipe away his tears, took a step back, knelt down and bowed to the prison cell, got up and trotted to chase Deng Ji.

The father and son turned around again, only to see the prison cell of Yang Yun, the patriarch of the Yang clan, he was old, and he was arrested after the facts of the case were revealed, and then he confessed, and he did not suffer much, and his clothes were still neat.

Deng Ji stopped in front of Yang Yun's prison cell, and after being silent for a while, he asked: "The Yang family is just a small clan in Huguan, and with me in the present, I don't know how much Xingrong is better than in the past, why is it still too insufficient, do such a thing?" ”

Yang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "It's the old man who is ashamed of the envoy." However, people's hearts are like a ravine, and they are in power, when will they be satisfied? It's a pity that this is true today! I heard that the Han family wanted to tear the soil and seal the king, but the old man was already confused, and he had a certain plan, just to help the eldest son win the throne of the world, and the great prosperity of the family was convicted of the public. ”

Deng Ji nodded, didn't care about him anymore, turned around and left, Deng Shi and Deng Zhang hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, I found Yang Li, who had been locked in for less than two days, and it was also the final point of the trip.

Deng Ji sat down cross-legged in front of his cell, with Deng Shi and Deng Zhang standing side by side.

Seeing Deng Ji's father and son coming, Yang Li got up and bowed indoors: "Lord! ”

Deng Ji nodded and said, "I don't know something, so I brought my second son to ask!" ”

Yang Lidao: "The lord asked, the matter has been so far, and he knows everything!" ”

Deng Ji pointed to Deng Zhang on the left side behind him and asked, "I didn't take precautions before, since the Yang family is trying their best to help the eldest child and want to seek wealth, why do you need to bother so much?" There are several people in the Yang family's Black Iron Guard, and they usually guard the mansion, and they even act left and right, so that they can wait for the opportunity to cut off the life of the treasure tree, wouldn't it be troublesome? ”

Suddenly hearing his father's words, Deng Shi and Deng Zhang both changed color, and they only felt afraid, but Yang Li replied as usual: "I don't know if the lord believes it, Liben also had this thought, but after following the lord for a long time, he was known to meet great grace, and finally he couldn't bear to do cruel things and harm the life of the father." ”

Deng Ji sighed lightly and stood up: "I should thank you for this." ”

Deng Zhang glanced at Deng She, gritted his teeth and said, "The child should be more grateful!" ”

After speaking, he also knelt on the ground and saluted.

Yang Li bowed back again: "Don't dare to be Erlang's thanks!" So that the lord can know that this is not all for the Yang family! On weekdays, the two sons of the lord and the father-in-law, Erlang is pampered, the Wu family is short-sighted, and there is no outstanding talent in the clan to supplement; It is far inferior to Da Lang, although he has no external help, but he has suffered and has a tough heart. As far as Siliang Erzhou is concerned, it is best to be the eldest son of the world! ”

was mentioned in person who was the heir, Deng She, Deng Zhang changed color again, and secretly looked at their father, but Deng Ji no longer cared about Yang Li and his second son, and walked outside, saying as he walked: "How old are his brothers?" I can't see the future clearly, but the believers are good at knowing people! ”

Deng Shi and Deng Zhang hurriedly followed, and in the prison cell, Yang Li sighed softly.

When the father and son were released from prison, Deng Ji said to Deng Zhan: "Yang Tai, Yang Pan, and Yang Huan can be killed today!" Yang Yun and Yang Li will stay for the time being, and we will decide after discussing with the military advisor and the other driver! ”

Deng Zhan bowed: "No! ”

At this time, Xiao Deng Shi suddenly knelt down again, crying and begging: "Father, although these three people are guilty, they all died because of their children, begging my father to allow the whole body to be kept, and the family will be buried!" ”

Deng Ji paused: "Okay!" ”

After leaving the Tingwei Mansion and leading the second son back to the house, Dian Wei leaned over and said: "General Taishi's wife is in the mansion!" ”

Deng Ji asked, "Crying again?" ”

Dian Wei said: "Yes! Only today I am afraid that I will have to intercede again! ”

Tai Shi Ci's wife is the daughter of the Yang family, the niece of the patriarch Yang Yun, and the daughter-in-law of Tai Shi Ci's old mother, who is very virtuous and knowledgeable, but since Yang Yun was arrested, she came to Deng Ji's house almost every day to cry and please, Deng Ji was a little annoyed with her, and when she heard that this time she was not interceding for Yang Yun, she asked: "Why is this the case?" ”

Dian Wei was stunned again, and then said: "I heard that General Taishi came to repair the book and wanted to give a wife!" ”

Among the generals under his command, in addition to Che Huang, Tai Shici and Deng Ji have the closest relationship, and they are the first among the generals, so they set up five governors this time, because the number of troops is insufficient, and the other governors are divided into armies, but the governor of the east only governs the Huya army, and will make up for it later, because Deng Ji is close to Tai Shici, so he will not have complaints.

It's just that the two are intimate, but there is a gap between the wives. In the past, Wu Miao often went to Taishi Mansion to meet Taishi Ci's mother, and Yang also went to General Wei's Mansion from time to time to chat with Wu Yao. However, since the Yang family supported Deng She, the relationship suddenly stiffened, Wu Yao has rarely gone to Tai Shici's house, and the Yang family will only look for Jiao Qin to talk when he comes back.

Deng Ji and Tai Shi Ci were powerless to change this situation, but Tai Shi Ci strictly ordered his wife not to participate in the competition for favor in the General's Mansion, and finally maintained a little relationship.

Yang already had a son, Tai Shi Ci named Heng, who had just turned one year old. Hearing that Tai Shici was going to leave his wife at this time, Deng Ji was also taken aback, and no longer stayed in the front yard, but went to the back instead.

This time, the Yang family was not in Jiaoqin Courtyard, but cried in Wu Qiao's courtyard, but Wu Miao was still in fear, and he was in a bad mood, hating the house and Wu, and he would not have any good feelings towards the Yang family, but he was just perfunctory about her.

When Deng Ji arrived, the Yang family hugged the child in his arms and immediately knelt down and begged him: "The concubine knows that the family has violated the law, and it still endangers the son of the envoy, and it is even more sinful, and she should not be forgiven." I only hate being a woman, not as good as a man's iron heart, and I can't sit idly by when my flesh and blood are connected, so I have repeatedly begged, I don't want to anger my husband, and I even go to the point of repairing books and getting a wife! There is nothing wrong with concubines serving their aunts, raising children, and taking care of housework on weekdays, but please make the king the master! ”

Tai Shi Ci usually camped outside the Bishui Pass, and only had to return home when he was resting, and he was not in Luoyang at this time, Deng Ji hurriedly asked Wu Miao to help her up, and asked: "Ziyi wants to have a wife, what does my mother say?" ”

Yang Shi thought back for a moment and said, "There is only displeasure on the face, and there is nothing else to say." ”

Deng Ji thought secretly, Tai Shi Ci is very filial, if he really wants to give a wife, it is impossible not to tell his mother first, and Tai Shi Ci's mother is a very assertive old woman, she loves this daughter-in-law very much on weekdays, and her grandson is even more so.

Most likely because they saw that the Yang family had repeatedly come to General Wei's mansion to intercede for their relatives, the mother and son couldn't stop persuading her, so they simply partnered to scare her.

Deng Ji was very good at the small road, and after thinking clearly, he said to the Yang family: "You go back, and you can take care of your mother with peace of mind, and I will write a letter to persuade you to accept this intention." ”

Wu Ji gently comforted her from the side, and Yang went sobbing, seeing her like this, Deng Ji sighed lightly. (To be continued.) )
