Chapter 51: Mystery
Baiyue was asked some questions, but she was probably more cooperative, and before Zhao Shilang said that the words "let the eunuchs come to trial" made her feel palpitated. Xue Chongxun didn't know how Yu Liben and the other eunuchs tossed her, but the scars on her neck and arms showed some problems, and where the injuries on her body were covered by the dirty and torn prison clothes she was wearing, she couldn't see it. The eunuchs are really more ruthless, Xue Chongxun remembered the deeds of the factory officials in the Ming Dynasty, so it seems that the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty are not worse than them...... Even the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty in history were more powerful, and they did all the things that were abolished.
In her confession, she heard from the bureaucrats about how Zhou Bin defiled the bride of the family and how he killed the Wang family, but she saw the daughter-in-law of the Wang family after the persecution, and said that she was cut off limbs and facial features were completely destroyed. Xue Chongxun can naturally find out the truth of this matter, but he now feels that Baiyue should not be lying, Zhou Bin is a cool official, I am afraid he can really do it.
Even if Jiang Changqing's relatives were implicated in the rebellion, why didn't Zhou Bin kill them quickly, and he had to do such a brutal thing? Xue Chongxun felt that this was not only a violation of the law, but also a crime against humanity...... The main thing is to have a bad impact on his reputation.
Later, Baiyue talked about his family affairs again, but that was ten years ago, Xue Chongxun didn't care, ten years ago, he didn't know where to spend his time, he didn't do his job at all, and the dirty things in the power field had almost nothing to do with him.
The assassin had completely lost his sharpness after being locked up here, and Xue Chongxun was ready to leave after asking. Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out of the cell, a jailer came up and whispered to him, and Xue Chongxun looked back and saw that the others were far behind and did not come up. The jailer whispered, "There is an interrogation room to the east, far away from the other rooms, and no one will know what is going on in it...... Why don't the prince go there and interrogate her again? This person on death row can't get up alive, no matter how you use to get her, it's fine......"
This person spoke in a slurred manner, but Xue Chongxun understood. He remembered the expression of the person next to him when he pulled Baiyue's hair away just now, and said in his heart: This matter must have been told by Zhao Shilang to the prison guard, but he didn't expect that this well-behaved official was a sycophant and trying to please the master.
But Xue Chongxun was not familiar with these people, and he was also very tired, so he was not interested at all, so he said with a straight face: "Do you think Lone is that kind of person?" ”
When the jailer saw Xue Chongxun's face change, he was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Damn it!" ”
Xue Chongxun snorted and strode away.
…… It was impossible to say that the death row was impermeable, and Zhou Bin quickly got Xue Chongxun to ask about Baiyue, and he suddenly panicked in his heart. Of course, he knew very well what he had done, he thought about it, he couldn't go directly to Xue Chongxun to intercede, it was not easy to see, he was not a core member of Xue's faction, and he didn't have a chance to attend any major matters; Second, I am afraid that King Jin is on fire, and he will be sent to death if he runs over.
In the end, Zhou Bin still felt that it was best to ask Yu Wenxiao for help, he was very familiar with Yu Wenxiao, and he had helped to do a lot of things, in fact, with Zhou Bin's background and knowledge, it was impossible for him to do such an important position as Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion without Yu Wenxiao's recommendation; Yuwenxiao's daughter was named a side concubine, I heard that she was very favored, and he himself was also the number one person in front of Xue Chongxun, if Yuwenxiao was willing to intercede, the chances would be much greater.
Zhou Bin thought about these joints clearly, and quickly found a lot of valuable things from his home and went straight to Yuwen Mansion.
At this time, it was already dusk, and most of the officials of the yamen were also on duty to go home, and it was just the right time for Zhou Bin to rush to Yuwenxiao's mansion. Once the sky darkened, the lanterns on the long street of Chang'an were lit one after another, and the red light still did not show any auspicious feeling on Zhou Bin's sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, and there was really no way to look like that. Moreover, he really has no such thing as compassion, and he likes to study all kinds of torture and coerced confessions, and he is suitable for being a cool official.
went to Deyuwen Mansion to hand over the door sticker, and sure enough, Menzi said that Ah Lang was at home, so he led him in. Yu Wenxiao's front yard is still a lot of vegetable fields, planted a variety of crops, flowers and other things that decorate the scenery but do not see.
Zhou Bin drank tea in the hall and waited for a while, then saw Yu Wenxiao, who was dressed very plainly like an old farmer, come in, laughed and greeted each other for a while, and greeted each other again. Zhou Bin hurriedly sent the box in his hand up: "I haven't visited the house for many days, and a little bit of courtesy is not a respect, and I hope that Yuwen Gong will not refuse." ”
Yuwen Xiao opened the box with a smile and took a look, only to see that it was yellow inside, and he immediately smiled even happier. Zhou Bin thought quietly: This old man is not as good as me, he is completely brought up by the guò nepotism (he doesn't know about Yuwenjia and Xue Chongxun a few years ago), I know him too well, if I send some antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings, although the value is not lower than gold and silver, but he may not be happy, the old layman is so yellow.
Seeing that Yu Wenxiao had no intention of refusing, seeing that he was about to accept the gift, Zhou Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he was willing to take it, he would definitely help a little.
"I heard that an assassin caught in Huaqing Palace also involved Zhou Shaoyin?" Yuwen Xiao looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Bin was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Before the lower official spoke, Yuwen Gong knew the Spring and Autumn Period, which is really admirable!" ”
"Zhou Shaoyin is a dignified official of Jingzhao Mansion, I am just seeking an errand in the pro-kingdom, you can't be called a subordinate official, you can't do it." Yuwen filial piety.
Zhou Bin said: "Even if Yuwen Gong lives in seclusion in the famous mountain and has no position, he should be greatly admired by the lower officials......" He knelt down while saying it, and said with a sad face, "Yuwen Gong can save my life this time, dare to serve before and after the saddle?" ”
Yuwen Xiao hurriedly helped him and asked, "What's going on?" I just heard a little bit of wind, and I don't know the details yet. ”
Zhou Bin couldn't get up or live, and said: "That time Li Sanlang was defeated after raising troops in Luoyang, involving many people, I went to the north on an errand as a royal historian, and I happened to meet the Wang family to do a happy event...... It's no wonder that I was tempted at that time, and I knew that the Wang family was originally a relative of the rebellious party, so I killed their family for public and private purposes. I originally thought that there would be no problem, who would have nothing to do in the court to shout grievances for the rebellious party......"
"It's fine, why are you afraid of being like this?" Yuwen filial piety is a serious way.
Zhou Bin was stunned, frowned and thought about it: "The lower officials have not solved the mystery, and I hope that Yuwen Gong will give you some pointers...... The prince just came back from Anbei and asked about this matter, didn't he want to punish my sins to set an example? ”
Yuwen Xiao brushed the beard on his chin and said indifferently: "If I say it's okay, it's okay, at least it's not strict to the point of losing my head." ”
"This ...... Why is that? Zhou Bin himself felt that he had gone too far, and looked at Yu Wenxiao in confusion.
Yuwen Xiao made a fool of himself and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you can figure it out yourself." Offences? Well, your hat of Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin may not be able to be kept, continue to be an official in another place, and I will promote you when things fade away, am I still walking around in the pro-kingdom, what are you afraid of? ”
Zhou Bin heard such a call, and was moved to tears and snot.
Yuwen Xiao said with a straight face: "But you can't take the beating improper, I didn't say it in the future, you can't move others casually, otherwise everyone will endanger Xue Lang's reputation Where to put it, do you say this is the reason?" ”
Zhou Bin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”
At this time, Yuwen Xiao suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking, Zhou Bin was wondering, and found that a slave came to the door, and he said in his heart: I heard that Yuwen Gong used to run the rivers and lakes, so hurry up and listen to the eight directions? Everyone knows it.
The servant reported: "Ah Lang, the lady is back. ”
Yu Wenxiao's brows furrowed, and he said to Zhou Bin: "I'll go and see, what is she doing when she comes back today!" Go back and put your heart in your stomach, what's the matter, I will protect you from coming up, can sit idly by? ”
Zhou Bin hurriedly thanked him for his farewell.
Yuwen Xiao walked quickly to find Yuwen Ji, he didn't look very happy, and when he saw Yuwen Ji, he asked, "What are you doing when you ran back today?" ”
Yuwen Ji said: "A while ago, Princess Jin had a big belly, and the palace was precious, I had to take her pulse every day, and now that I am safe, I will come back to rest for two days, and by the way, look at the medicinal materials planted in the backyard." ”
"You are a wife, as soon as Xue Lang came back, you ran to your mother's house, and did not go to bed, what kind of system did you become?"
Yuwen Ji's face turned red when she heard the waiter, and she said angrily: "You have a lot of care, this is my family, I can come back when I want." What kind of thing does it take for my father to say such things! ”
"Why can't you figure it out? The princess has just given birth to a county lord, Xue Lang has no children so far, and the women in the house have calculations in their hearts, so it's better for you to just run home. What is the status of the Xue family today, I don't know? Sue you for your father, if you have the heirs of the Xue family, you can have whatever you want in this world, and no one dares to do anything to you......" Yu Wenxiao's eyes lit up.
"Annoyed me!" Yuwen Ji stomped her feet and left, walked to the door and stopped and turned around, "I saw Zhou Bin from Jingzhao Mansion going out just now, this person is not a good thing, why does my father have to deal with him?" ”
Yuwen Xiaodao: "What do you know? ”
"What's the matter with his father?" Yuwen Ji asked uneasily.
Yuwen Xiao said: "Find me to save your life." ”
"What thou hast done to save him, but it is better to die for the people." Yuwen Ji said angrily. It seems that Zhou Bin's reputation in Chang'an is really not good, and even Yuwenji has heard of it.
"It's not that I want to save him, he doesn't have to worry about his life at all, I'm happy to push the boat along the river to ask for personal favors. He harmed a family in the place and was investigated by Xue Lang, but that family was originally suspected of opposing Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping's faction......" Yu Wenxiao said thoughtfully, "The place is on the right side, even if you do something wrong, how can you die?" ”G
