Deng Haonan thought that the emperor couldn't bear to kill Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and wanted to let them go under the pretense of others.

Since they are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, if they are robbed, Deng Haonan will be held responsible, which may give other unfriendly officials the opportunity to participate in Deng Haonan.

Deng Haonan and Feng Shaoyan hurriedly returned to the Criminal Department, and when they walked on the road, Deng Haonan thought that something was wrong with the moon.

"Why are Jinyi in such a hurry to let me know?"

Feng Shaoyan gave an explanation, only to listen to him analyze: "The Hou Ye has analyzed before, the emperor may want to know about Baomao, or maybe he wants to know the treasure of Wei Zhongxian's corruption, after all, we haven't found out where Wei Zhongxian's stolen goods are hidden!"

Deng Haonan nodded and asked, "In your opinion, which one does the emperor think?" ”

"It should be the former!" Feng Shaoyan said with certainty: "I suspect that the emperor may already know that we are also looking for Zheng He's treasure, or maybe the emperor suspects that another group of assassins were sent by you, my lord!"

"Isn't it!" Deng Haonan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Feng Shaoyan said with a smile: "Right now, in the capital, with your ability, you can completely cultivate a group of dead soldiers, and you have also had something to do with Wei Zhongxian before, so it is not ruled out that the emperor may suspect you!"

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly, this is not clear when he jumps into the Yellow River.

"Your Excellency!" Feng Shaoyan smiled: "Don't worry about it! From this point of view, the emperor's transfer of Wei Zhongxian to the prison of the Criminal Department may be a test of you, or he may be trying to use your body to interrogate the result. Jin Yiwei acted secretly, afraid that he wanted to get some useful information.

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "Jinyiwei is the emperor's ears and eyes!"

"Your Excellency might as well be calculated!"

"What's the explanation?"

Feng Shaoyan thought for a while and said, "Do it for the emperor!" We have strengthened the defense of the prison of the Criminal Department, as long as Wei Zhongxian is not robbed, then the emperor will naturally not think that the other group of people is an adult! Then interrogate Wei Zhongxian, and pass on to the emperor what you want him to know through the mouth of Jinyiwei, this effect is more effective than what you tell the emperor yourself!"

Deng Haonan thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Good idea!"

Subsequently, Deng Haonan transferred the hunter commando team from the Wancheng camp outside the city, and Dong Nan personally released the defense work of the prison of the Criminal Department.

Then, Deng Haonan and Feng Shaoyan came to the Criminal Department and interrogated Wei Zhongxian.

Behind the enemy, Deng Haonan sat under the Zhengda Guangming plaque, Feng Shaoyan stood behind him, Li He, Lang Zhong, and Xie Jin sat on the left side to form a jury, and below the right side were the general judges, writers and clerks. Further down are two rows of criminal officials holding salt-killing sticks, twenty people in each row, shouting loudly.

Deng Haonan was a little excited, originally he didn't feel much interest in the book of the criminal department, but now when he sat in the public court to interrogate the prisoner, he was very excited.

Suddenly, Deng Haonan realized that Genfeng didn't know the procedure, so he said, "That...... Let's get started!"

"My lord, you want to take a picture of the shocking wood, and then say that you will take someone to load Wei Zhongxian!"

Feng Shaoyan reminded on the side, Deng Haonan only then found that there was a black rectangular column-shaped wooden block on the left side of his table, and on the right side was a coffin, and the copper was full of tokens with the word Ling, and there was nothing else.

Deng Haonan picked up the startling wood and slapped it down with a snap,

The shock hurt my ears and hands.

"Bring someone to commit Wei Mixian!" Take people to commit Wei Zhongxian and load them one by one!

The servants passed it on one after another, and it kept going far and wide.

A moment later, Wei Zhongxian appeared in the lobby in a white prison uniform, and the big "prisoner's back and back looked extremely eye-catching." Because he is a heavy prisoner, he is heavily handcuffed and shackled!

The word is walking

The old man looked calm!

"Get on your knees!"

The official pressed Wei Zhongxian and tried to make him kneel, but Wei Zhongxian was very stubborn and refused to kneel. Deng Haoji saw that he was old, and he couldn't bear it, and was about to leave his knees without kneeling, but unexpectedly, the official went up and hit Wei Zhongxian's back knee with two boards. Wei Zhongxian let out a painful sigh and immediately knelt down. In order to prevent Wei Zhongxian from standing up, the two officials pressed his shoulders with their hands one by one, so that he could not get up.

Wei Zhongxian only knelt to the emperor, and now it is naturally very difficult for him to kneel in front of others. What's more, the person who knelt turned out to be the culprit who killed him now, and in front of Deng Haonan, he was obviously angry.

"Deng Haonan, you are treacherous! We won't let you go!"

Deng Haonan frowned, and said unhappily: "Where did Lao Tzu get the letter from you?" I

Is there a written agreement between us? Is there a verbal agreement? It's just wishful thinking!"

Wei Zhongxian was about to scold, but when he heard Deng Haonan say this, he was dumbfounded. It was true that there was no written agreement with him, not even a verbal agreement, and after thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian realized that it was really wishful thinking.

Road:

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian sighed to himself and secretly scolded himself for being careless. But he still laughed, "Don't be complacent!" The cunning rabbit is cooked by a dead lackey, and our family will watch the day when you are put in prison by the emperor!

"Shut up!" Deng Haonan stood up angrily and said angrily: "Dare to commit a crime, dare to slander the emperor!"

People who don't know still think how loyal Deng Haonan is!

Only Feng Shaoyan behind him knew that this was just Deng Haonan acting.

"What's next?"

Deng Haonan asked in a low voice, and Feng Shaoyan next to him whispered: "Hit 100,000 boards!"

100,000 big boards, Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and said, "There will be deaths!"

"Don't worry, my lord, it's just for outsiders to see!" Feng Shaoyan whispered: "Knocked him out."

Naturally, someone pleaded!"

How unreasonable! Pad! Someone!"

"In!"

Four officials lined up on the left and right, clasped their fists, and waited for Deng Haonan's order.

"Long live slander, then hit 100,000 boards!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone's eyes were wide open, and their mouths were wide open

Bigger.

It's unbelievable!

Long live slander will hit 10,000 boards! Sure enough, it's a stunned-!#183;!

100,000 big boards go down, and everyone is beaten into meat sauce!

Lord Deng is really loyal!

Everyone muttered in their hearts, and Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Deng Haonan dumbfounded.

After the four officials were stunned for a moment, they immediately received the order and pressed Wei Zhongxian to the ground, and the two officials held killing sticks and made preparations.

"Hit!"

Deng Haonan saw that the official hadn't made a move yet, so he shouted that the adults had to throw the token!"

Feng Shaoyan whispered beside him:

Deng Haonan suddenly realized, so he reached out and grabbed a token

And then threw it down.

cloth

Everyone saw the seven or eight tokens that were crackling and thrown to the ground, and one by one, their foreheads were suddenly full of black lines, and they sweated frequently.

The executive officer was stunned for a moment, then picked up the killing stick and began to beat Wei Zhongxian.

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's heart-rending shout, coupled with the eunuch's unique sharp voice, it was really torturous, Deng Haonan had to cover his ears and pin his head to the side.

After more than a dozen crackling blows, Wei Zhongxian couldn't stand the punishment anymore and passed out. The officials sprayed him with cold water, drenched him awake, and then continued to beat. Soon, when he hit about thirty boards, Wei Zhongxian had already passed out for the fifth time.

At this time, Li He, the left waiter, got up and said, "My lord, you can't fight anymore!" If you fight again, you'll be killed!

Deng Haonan glanced at Feng Shaoyan, and secretly said that this kid's estimate was right, and someone pleaded.

"Slander the emperor, kill him, and the official doesn't bother to interrogate him!"

found a high-sounding excuse to beat someone, but it turned out to be stealing olives!

Zuo Shilang, Lang Zhong, Tong Juan and the others almost fell to the ground with their jaws on the ground, and looked at Deng Hao speechlessly

Nan.

"Your Excellency!" Li He stubbornly said: "Wei Zhongxian is a key prisoner appointed by the emperor

At present, the stolen goods in his private possession have not been investigated and dealt with, and they must not be killed!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already passed out for the eighth time, and he had only hit four 4-boards.

The official reported that Wei Zhongsuo's Five Classics were dying.

Deng Haonan saw that the fire was coming, so he said: "Since Lord Li is pleading, then the official will open the net." However, his sin of slandering the emperor cannot be avoided, so it's okay, find the best doctor to cure him, and then continue to fight when he is well!"

Wei Zhongxian was still a little awake, but when he heard it, he suddenly fainted to death.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

A cadre of officials and officials suddenly admired Deng Haonan's admiration and the urge to surrender to the ground.

It's like a kind of five

"Quit!"

After Deng Haonan finished shouting, he turned around and prepared to leave. came back to requisition land and patted the shocking wood.

Suddenly, I remembered that I hadn't shot the shocking wood yet, so

There was a snap, and the sound echoed through the lobby

It scared everyone into a cold sweat.

Wei Zhongxian was escorted back to the prison for treatment, and Deng Haonan and Feng Shaoyan followed closely into the prison

Wei Zhongxian lay on the stone bench, and the doctor treated him with medicine.

The jailer took a chair, Deng Haonan sat in front of him and said, "Don't you envy me for sitting."

Yes!

Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, thinking that Deng Haonan was going to beat him for 100,000 boards.

"It's more comfortable for us to lie on our stomach!"

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "You should have seen the scene of the eunuch and the palace maid killed with a cane in the palace, you can probably remember that feeling." If you don't want to shake the remaining 9,952 boards, you'd better confess obediently. ”

Wei Zhongxian sneered and said, "Our family has already said what should be said!"

Deng Haonan didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "It is said that eunuchs are greedy for money, but they haven't found your dozens of carts of treasure until now, should you tell me!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Our family is honest and law-abiding, where there is any treasure, you don't waste your efforts!"

Deng Haonan naturally knew that Wei Zhongxian had dozens of carts of treasures, and sneered: "You, the head of the eunuch, are not greedy for money, and the old sow will be in the book!"

Wei Zhongxian glared angrily, while Feng Shaoyan and the doctor forced a smile.

"Okay!" Deng Haonan thought for a while, and then asked, "Then I entered the palace to save you a few days ago."

You should know those two people! Sue me sù who are they? ”

Wei Zhongxian twisted his head to the side, ignoring Deng Haonan.

Deng Haonan snorted coldly and said, "If you don't say it, the official can guess a thing or two!"

Wei Zhongxian was still indifferent, Deng Haonan waved his hand, asked the doctor to step back, and said Let's guess?"

"What do you like has nothing to do with our family!"

Deng Haonan then said: "That official began to guess!" If you're right, you can do it

Head!

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "According to the intelligence analysis of this official! They are obviously your comrades who save you, but two groups of people who save you at the same time, but they don't know each other, can only say one thing.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian pricking up his ears to listen, Deng Haonan snorted coldly and said, "You are a double agent!"

"That one by one" Deng Haonan explained, "That means that you step on two boats, you."

Belong to two forces at the same time! I'm not mistaken!"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Deng Haonan and said nothing.

Deng Hao

Wei Zhongxian subconsciously touched his face with both hands, and suddenly reflected, this was just Deng Haonan scaring him.

But that's enough, Deng Haonan has already determined that Wei Zhongxian has more than one behind-the-scenes supporter.

"Now let's guess who these two behind-the-scenes forces are!"

Deng Haonan said: "The people who save you should have the same purpose as you, if you want to control the government, then they must also want to control the government." They are a chaotic party like you, and since they are a chaotic party, the number one in the Ming Dynasty at the moment is the White Lotus Sect!"

Wei Zhongxian trembled, although it was slight, but Deng Haonan could see it.

Then he said, "It seems that one of the people in the White Lotus Sect is right!"

"Nonsense!"

Deng Haonan ignored him and continued: "But the other group of people don't know the White Lotus Sect, if it's a Jianghu force, how can they not know the name of the White Lotus Sect?" Therefore, the other group of people is not a force in the rivers and lakes, but a power in the imperial court. ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Deng Haonan and said coldly: "You are the reincarnation of Bao Zheng?" Say no

Ashamed!

Deng Haonan didn't laugh angrily, and continued: "You are a eunuch, you can't be the emperor yourself, but you killed the emperor's heir, which means that you have to find an opportunity to abolish the emperor, and then choose someone who is willing to listen to you, then this person must be the vassal king!"

Wei Zhongxian sneered and said, "Our family really admires your imagination!"

"Just listen to it!" Deng Haonan said very confidently: "The imagination of this official is overwhelming

More than you can imagine!"

Deng Haonan continued: "There are many vassal kings who want to be emperors, among the emperor's uncles, King Fu is counted as one, and King Rui is reluctant. Among the emperor's brothers, only King Xin is still there, and the emperor has no children, so only a few of them are qualified to succeed to the throne, who will it be? ”

Wei Zhongxian's eyes were a little flustered, and he said, "How can our family know?" ”

Deng Haonan sneered: "Of course you have to know!" Your power is monstrous, King Fu and King Rui have been crowned kings for many years, how easy is it for you to control them? Then there is only King Xin left, and it is much easier for the fifteen-year-old King Xin than the forty-year-old prince who controls zhìzhi, right?"

"You don't want to spew blood!" Wei Zhongxian's words obviously lacked confidence.

But Deng Haonan understands, what is the mastermind behind it? The one who has the last laugh is the mastermind, that is, the one who really succeeds in the game. Of course, Deng Haonan knows who will really succeed to the throne, and he just believes in Wang Zhu Youzhen.

"Just talking!" Deng Haonan smiled: "Don't be so excited! Whoever succeeds to the throne is my

Affair! But you're a prisoner now, and it's really nothing, it's none of your business? ”

Deng Haonan stood up, Feng Shaoyan nodded humbly, and signaled that it was okay.

So Deng Haonan stopped paying attention to Wei Zhongxian and left the prison with Feng Shaoyan.

Outside, Deng Haonan asked, "I didn't see any eavesdropping nearby!"

Feng Shaoyan said with a smile: "My lord didn't know anything, and my subordinates were also puzzled at first. However, after checking the file, I found that Wei Zhongxian had just been imprisoned, and a traitor was locked up next door to him. The subordinates quietly investigated and found that he was under Jinyi Wei Tang Jing.

Deng Haonan suddenly realized and said, "So, what I said to Wei Zhongxian just now, the emperor will soon know!"

"Yes, sir!" Feng Shaoyan said with a smile: "Congratulations to my lord, the golden cicada has come out of its shell!"

Deng Haonan smiled and nodded, and said in his heart: Now the king of Zixin, Zhu Youzhen, I'm afraid that he won't have a good life! Now Zhu Youxiao will no longer stare at Deng Haonan, but will stare at Zhu Youzhen, and it is not an exaggeration for Feng Shaoyan to summarize it as a golden cicada.

In the Qianqing Palace, swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

Li He told Deng Haonan's interrogation of Wei Zhongxian word for word just now, and Zhu Youxiao laughed vigorously.

"Your Majesty!" Li He said: "Weichen thinks that Lord Deng is indeed not suitable to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he can't see his shadow all day except for reporting in the morning. Big and small things are handled by the subordinates. Today, on a whim, he suddenly interrogated Wei Zhongxian, and as a result, he was going to beat him with 100,000 boards in court, isn't this a clear plan to be killed? And he himself said that he was too lazy to interrogate Wei Zhongxian, it would be better to kill him!"

Zhu Youxiao smoked a big cigarette, listening to Li He's report, he was very satisfied with Deng Hao

Nan's table xiàn.

"Aiqing rest assured!" Zhu Youxiao spit out a puff of cigarette and said, "It's impossible for me to let Deng Aiqing stay as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and arrange for him to do something else after a while." As long as you are loyal to me, the post of secretary of the Criminal Department will be yours sooner or later!"

Li He said happily: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "For a while, you have to assist Master Deng well, and you can't let the Criminal Department make a big mess."

"Wechen obeys!" Let's go down!" Wechen retires!" After Li He leaves, Tang Jing enters through the side hall, at #183; Zhu Youxiao whispered in his ear.

"Seriously!" Zhu Youxiao looked very surprised.

Tang Jing nodded, and told the whole story, Zhu Youxiao was dumbfounded when he heard it. He naturally believed Tang Jing's words, and thought again and again about Deng Haonan's prison questioning.

When Deng Haonan was still Li Xiaoqi, Zhu Youxiao had discussed it with him. At the beginning, Deng Haonan vetoed that it was King Fu, and only told Zhu Youxiao that only the last person to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne was the mastermind behind the scenes. At that time, Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it at all, some time ago, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape this catastrophe, but he was thinking about passing the throne to his fifth brother Zhu Youzhen, and now it seems that he needs to look at it again. A
