Tang Yi arrived at the lobby, Zhao Zhenji glanced at him and smiled contemptuously: "Governor Tang, what did you say to Lord Yan just now?" ”

"Lord Zhao, what do you think I should say?" Tang Yi's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone carried an almost irrepressible anger.

Zhao Zhenji sneered slightly, "The old man doesn't care what you say, morality is mine, and I am fearless!" "The old master is righteous and strict, at this moment, it seems that Confucius and Mencius have possessed the body together, he is the truth, he is the right!. Tang Yi can see clearly, this Lord Zhao is a typical combination of arrogance and prejudice, he can't look down on himself, no matter what he does, he thinks crookedly, and the more he thinks about it, the more crooked he becomes, and he can't be right at all.

Tang Yi simply said: "Lord Zhao, if you don't trust Xiaguan, it just so happens that Xiaguan still has the matter of the prefect's yamen and the city department, so you won't make trouble here!" ”

He turned around to leave, and Zhao Zhenji roared: "Who let you go!" ”

Tang Yi was really angry, "Lord Zhao, what else can I do if I stay?" ”

"The old man wants you to see, what is the word morality! How can there be dark clouds that always cover the sun, how can the traitorous party be happy! The old man is going to show you today how the first traitorous party of the Ming Dynasty fell. ”

The old man was really confident, Tang Yi didn't bother to roll his eyes, he sat on the chair next to him, "Just to learn Lord Zhao's tricks." ”

Zhao Zhenji wanted to say a few more words, a master ran over, said a few words in his ear, Zhao Zhenji nodded, he tidied up the official uniform, a shot of the wood, the officials shouted mighty, and soon someone brought Jin Yuting, the king's account room were brought up. Tan Lun and Huo Jiangong followed behind, and Tan Lun first told the case.

Zhao Zhenji's eyes showed anger, and he asked the king's bookkeeper: "Who asked you to drug Ruan Zhongcheng, do you know that poisoning the Qin criminal will affect the trial of the Qin case." It's going to cut off the head! ”

The king's account room was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one is guilty, the little one is guilty!" ”

"Well, who do you say instructed you?"

"Lord Qiqi, it's all him!" The king's account room pointed at Jin Yuting, and said with a sad face: "The little one is a settler, and he has no grievances with that Lord Ruan." The little one didn't even dare to kill the chicken, he told the little one to do it. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Zhenji set his eyes on Jin Yuting's body and sneered: "Say, why did you poison Lord Ruan, how did you do it?" ”

Jin Yuting was still reluctant to confess, so she rolled her eyes and said: "The little one was also deceived, someone asked me to find an opportunity to send the wine to prison and poison Lord Ruan, I think Lord Ruan has been an official for many years." Offended the enemy! ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Zhenji reprimanded angrily: "If you weren't deliberate, how could you know which restaurant cooks for the prison, how can you ensure that the wine and food will be delivered to Lord Ruan, and why did Lord Ruan voluntarily take poison?" It's obviously interlocking, no bad, you still dare to deny it, come to someone. Punish the old man! ”

In ancient times, the yamen had no human rights to speak of, and torture to extract confessions was commonplace. There are not a few who are killed and maimed, there is a reason to fight, there is no reason to create a reason to fight, it really can't work, just say that you are not honest, first beat the killing stick. Let you be honest.

The water and fire sticks with the thickness of duck eggs, one end square, the other round, do not take three strokes to open the skin and flesh. The flesh and blood are blurred, although Jin Yuting has the heart to carry it, but after all, he is used to being pampered and can't bear the torture.

was beaten to death by Zhao Zhenji, and finally told the matter intermittently.

It turned out that the death of Ruan Que had been arranged a long time ago, and Jin Yuting was responsible for the execution, he first arranged for a person to commit a little crime and be put in prison, because he bought off the cell boss, he put this person and Ruan Que at the opposite door, and when there was no one, he told Ruan Que that he was a disciple of Xinxue, and if he wanted to save Ruan Que out, he would give him a medicine, and after drinking it, he would temporarily fake his death. The prison will report that he committed suicide in fear of sin, and when the body is sent to Yizhuang, it will arrange for a dead ghost of the same age and appearance as Ruan He to replace Ruan He, and after a few days, as soon as the body decomposes, nothing can be seen.

Ruan Yu touched it for a long time, and he felt that it was not bad.

Although Tang Yi also said that he would find a way to protect his life, but the situation changed too quickly, Tang Yi said that it didn't matter, he also saw that Yan Dang and Xu Dang were using him, even if he saved his life, he would face countless surveillance and even assassinations, it was better to go incognito, be a peaceful duke, and live for the rest of his life.

Ruan Que agreed to the proposal, and at the thought of being able to live, he was very happy in his heart, so he made a supper, smashed the wine jug open, and sure enough, took out the medicine hidden inside.

After tossing and turning for an hour, until the sky was bright, Ruan Que took advantage of everyone's inattention and poured all the medicine in the small gourd.

He waited with his eyes closed, but unfortunately what he was waiting for was not fake death, but real death, bleeding to death!

"Who is it, who told you to kill Lord Ruan?"

"This ......" Jin Yujing hesitated for a moment, and Zhao Zhenji asked decisively: "If you don't say it, did your brother Jin Yuxuan let you do it, and who is behind him, is it a figure in the court?" ”

Zhao Zhenji directly burned the fire to Yan Dang, and Jin Yuting hurriedly waved his hand, "My lord, my brother is in Jiangxi, even if it is a flying pigeon, it is too late to pass the book!" ”

"What kind of person is that, if you don't say it, there will be eighteen torture instruments waiting for you!"

"Say, I say!"

Jin Yuting gritted her teeth, "Yes, it's Tian Rucheng." ”

Zhao Zhenji didn't know who this person was, and he was a little dazed, but Tang Yi, who was on the side, opened his mouth wide and almost screamed. Tian Rucheng is also a person, he is a native of Zhejiang, he was admitted to the Jinshi in his early years, and later was dismissed because of misconduct, and he was idle at home, after Hu Zongxian served as the governor, he invited Tian Rucheng to his command.

This person's other skills are ordinary, but his writing is outstanding, and even Xu Wei sighs that he is not as good as Xu Wei. is especially good at meeting horses, he is not shooting Hu Zongxian, but shooting Jiajing, every time he gets something auspicious, he will be interpreted by Tian Rucheng and given to Jiajing, ensuring that he can be rewarded. He was known in Hu Zongxian's shogunate as "a pen in the southeast".

When Tang Yi heard these three words, he immediately felt bad, and he actually involved Hu Zongxian!

He held the table with his hand and stood up unconsciously, and Zhao Zhenji's knife-like gaze immediately swept over. His eyes were full of disdain, if you dare to speak for Hu Zongxian, the old man will do it with you.

Tang Yi also knew that Zhao Zhenji's prejudices were too deep, and he was too wrong to say more, so it was better to pretend to be dumb!

He sat down slowly, but he couldn't listen to a word of what Zhao Zhenji asked next, and his mind was confused.

Why did Hu Zongxian kill Ruan Yu, was it to kill people?

Maybe Zhao Zhenji will think so, but Tang Yi doesn't see it that way, Hu Zongxian has the dual support of the Yan Party and Jiajing, and only the naïve Zhao Zhenji will believe that Hu Zongxian can be easily overthrown.

If you don't have to worry, why take the risk?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that things were strange, and the feeling of being manipulated became stronger and stronger. Intuition told Tang Yi that some people were taking advantage of the contradictions between the Yan Party and the Xu Party to continue to instigate back and forth, expand the case, implicate the innocent, and when the matter reached the point of being out of control, they would be safe.

Could it be the remaining five surnames?

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff! Tang Yi sighed in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he should have made a big push and stewed them all in one go.

Now that Zhao Zhenji has identified the direction, he will not listen to himself at all. Tang Yi can only wait and see how much Zhao Zhenji can toss.

I have to say that Zhao Zhenji is still efficient, and soon he searched out Tian Rucheng's handwritten letter from Jin Yuting's house, involving Hu Zongxian's staff, and the old man immediately sent a document to Hu Zongxian as a messenger, and asked him to send Tian Rucheng immediately.

The news was sent to the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang, and Hu Zongxian was simply angry!

What kind of garlic are you Zhao Zhenji pretending, you are Qincha, my governor is also Qincha, and Lao Tzu still has the royal flag in his hand! Hu Zongxian didn't want to deal with Zhao Zhenji, but when he thought of those Qingliu who stared at him all day long, Hu Zongxian lost his temper, so he gave people to Zhao Zhenji, and he lost face.

Hu Zongxian personally accompanied Tian Rucheng and rushed to Quanzhou. When he came to Qinchaxingyuan, Hu Zongxian asked people to hand over the name post, and waited for half an hour, Hu Zongxian got up from his seat several times, he really wanted to leave, and finally suppressed his anger again, just when he almost exploded, Zhao Zhenji finally sent Tang Yi out and welcomed him in.

"I said, brother, what's going on?"

Tang Yi's brows have never been let go these days, Zhao Zhenji has become more and more energetic, and around Jin Yuting, he has arrested more than a dozen people before and after, from the jailer to the judge, and he almost locked Tang Yi in.

"Brother Merlin, in short, you have to be careful!"

Tang Yi sent Hu Zongxian to the living room, turned around to leave, and Zhao Zhenji said, "You can also stay and listen." ”

In addition to being interested in the case, Old Master Zhao was left to educate Tang Yi, Tang Yi didn't say much, standing aside, Hu Zongxian glanced at both sides, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Zhao, are you going to hold a Hongmen banquet?" ”

Zhao Zhenji didn't speak, and suddenly stood up suddenly, "Ask by order!" ”

Hu Zongxian was stunned for a moment, unwilling to kneel on the ground, and said forcibly: "Respectfully ask for Saint An." ”

Zhao Zhenji's face was expressionless, he arched his hand towards the north, and said loudly: "Holy bow! Hu Zongxian, you are a seven-grade patrol, I have repeatedly overproduced, and I have paid all the things in the southeast to you, and I was shocked to hear that Zhangzhou Yuegang has hoarded tens of thousands of pirates, but there is such a thing? ”

Hu Zongxian hurriedly said: "Yes, it's just that Fujian is not under the jurisdiction of ministers. ”

"I ask you again, why are there many gentry in Zhezhi and other places who smuggle through pirates, don't you know?"

Hu Zongxian saw sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "The minister has heard a little. ”

"Just a little bit of it?" Zhao Zhenji raised his voice an octave and roared angrily: "Your thousands of households have smuggled 50,000 horses of silk from Yuegang, and your handle has fallen into the hands of maritime merchants. The maritime merchants in turn want to blackmail you and poison Lord Ruan, so that they can cover up their crimes for them, as well as yourself, is the old man right? ”

What a big crime!

Hu Zongxian was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, but after thinking about it, when Jiajing gave Zhao Zhenji his will, Ruan He was not dead! This is what Zhao Zhenji wanted to ask, he stood up from the ground suddenly, and said sharply: "Lord Zhao, just with his red mouth and white teeth, he wants to slander his own official, and he will inevitably look down on people!"
