Tokyo, Tongbunkan.

The name Tongbunkan is full of the smell of books, and at first glance, I thought it was a place where the prince studied. But only Zhang Shiliang and Wen Jifu know what kind of place the Tongwen Hall is now, the torture instruments all over the ground are stained with blood, and the smell of rotten meat is exuding, which makes people tremble at a glance.

These two people have a great relationship, and all the layouts of Zhang Dian revolve around these two people, just in case, Zhang and Wen were not imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but according to Zhang Dian's intentions, they were imprisoned in the Tongwen Pavilion alone, and then He Shikuan and Zhang Shangying personally went to the Tongwen Museum to preside over the trial, so as to eliminate all interference.

The second main hall of the Tongwen Pavilion was temporarily set up as a torture hall, He Shikuan and Zhang Shangying sat in the hall, and the two classes of cool officials stood left and right, plus there were all kinds of torture instruments next to them, which suddenly made people feel that the wind was blowing and the cold air was cold.

Wen Jifu was put on the hall and thrown to the ground, and the two classes of officials paused with water and fire sticks, their eyes widened angrily, and they shouted down through the hall, and Wen Jialiulang was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he couldn't even stand up.

He is pampered, how can he have such a battle, and before the trial has begun, he is already so frightened that his face is colorless.

"Who's in the hall? Why don't you report your name quickly? ”

He Shikuan shouted awe-inspiringly, and the shocking wood was shocking.

Wen Jifu replied tremblingly: "Xiaguan Wen Jifu, meet the two adults!" ”

"Wen Jifu, take a closer look, this is a letter you wrote?"

The official handed the letter to Wen Jifu, and he looked at it very carefully, it was indeed a letter he had written to the torture a few years ago, which was undeniable.

When things came to this point, Wen Jifu, who had been imprisoned for unknown reasons, finally understood that the matter was actually from this letter, Wen Jifu only hated himself for making friends carelessly, and hated the torture in his heart.

He Shikuan shouted majestically again: "Wen Jifu, in your letter, it is written in black and white, 'Today's court is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, Luo Jie's henchmen, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, and it is a cold heart." 'Say!' Who is Sima Zhao? Who is Fan Kun?

You can think about it, dozens of torture instruments in this hall are prepared for you, if you can't say why, this official will let you taste this torture instrument one by one, of course, if you report meritorious, this official will write to His Majesty to ask you for merit, whether it is to shield the rebellious person, or to report the meritorious service, how to choose it depends on you! ”

Rebels? Hearing this, Wen Jifu's heart trembled, he wouldn't know what the crime of rebellion is, and what is the crime of shielding the person who conspires against him, if one is not good, the Wen family will be doomed!

"My lord! My lord! The lower officials are wronged! At that time, the lower officials did not do much more, and they talked nonsense for a while, and they couldn't count! Please be enlightened! Please be enlightened! ”

"Huh?" He Shikuan glanced at Wen Jifu coldly, turned his head to Zhang Shangying and said: "Imperial Envoy Zhang, this official means to suspend the court trial, and let the official first give Wen Tongju a detailed introduction to the torture instruments under the court, what does Imperial Envoy Zhang think?" ”

Zhang Shangying replied lightly: "Very good! Some people just don't cry when they don't see the coffin, if He Shangshu is soft-hearted, others still think you're so fooled! ”

He Shikuan raised his hand to signal slightly, and the two wolf-like cool officials immediately pounced, put Wen Jifu in front of the row of torture instruments, and introduced with a sneer: "Lord Wen, this iron brush, it looks simple, and it is also simple to use, just pour some boiling water on the prisoner's body, and then use this iron brush to gently brush back and forth, and the skin and flesh of the prisoner will be brushed down layer by layer until the bones are exposed." There is also this, the palm print, which is also very simple to use, put this iron palm in the fire and burn it red, and then peel off the prisoner's clothes, and just like that! Whew! Immediately, there will be a burst of meat.......

While explaining, the official gestured to Wen Jifu, and when he heard the fourth torture instrument, Wen Jifu couldn't hold on any longer, and the endless fear actually made him unconscious.

In the cold weather, a bucket of cold water was splashed down, Wen Jifu woke up trembling, and at the same time his brain was much clearer, he was born in the Wen family, although he did not suffer anything, but he still has knowledge, he understands very well, what does the new party want?

As soon as a discerning person saw this letter, he knew that Sima Zhao was insinuating Lu Dafang, and Fan Kun was referring to Han Zhongyan, but these two people were veterans of the old party and had special identities.

But is it okay not to confess? The new party is bound to win, will it let him go? Will you let the Wen family go?

Wen Jifu's heart was like lightning, and he ignored the chill on his body, and he was stunned in the hall for a while, not knowing what to do!

"Say! Who is Sima Zhao referring to? Who is Fan Kun referring to? If you don't say anything, I'll let you taste the iron brush first! Come on, give him hot water! ”

He Shikuan drank loudly, waking Wen Jifu up, he trembled non-stop, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or cold, and replied with admiration: "Back to my lord, my father used to call Liu Zhi Sima Zhao...... Well, Wang Yansuo's face is white, which is called powder, and the word Liang Tao is in the situation, and the brother on the right side of the word is called Kun. My lord, the lower officials have said it! Please, let go of the lower officials......"

The people who Wen Jifu confessed were all Shuo Party figures, who used to oppose Wen Yanbo and belittled Wen Jifu's officials.

I have to say that Wen Liulang's kung fu of interpreting characters is still very clever, and after he said this, although it was a bit far-fetched, he finally picked out Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan.

He Shikuan, what a person! At a glance, he knew that Wen Jifu was lying, and he sneered: "Wen Jifu, don't think that if you play a little clever, the official can't help you, you said that Ling Zun called Liu Zhi Sima Zhao, and when the official didn't send someone to ask Ling Zun for verification?" This official really wants to know, Ling Zun is this kind of person who has the strength and weakness of the Taoist behind him! ”

When He Shikuan said this, Wen Jifu's face couldn't help but change slightly, this is indeed a fatal problem, although his father Wen Yanbo is too old to move, but it is not a problem to speak, if He Shikuan really sends someone to verify, there is a chance that his translation will be exposed.

"Wen Jifu! This official will give you another chance, who is Sima Zhao? Who is Fan Kun? Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”

He Shikuan slapped the startled wood, which frightened Wen Jifu so much that his head jumped, and finally he gritted his teeth and replied: "Go back to my lord, what the official just said is true, and there is no half of a lie!" ”

"It seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come on! Give him a stick! ”

The official immediately took the clamp stick, put Wen and Fu's ten fingers into the clamp stick, pulled the rope on both sides, and immediately clamped the ten fingers tightly, as the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, only Wen and Fu are still shivering from the cold, and now as the clamp stick is tightened more and more, Wen and Fu sweat in pain, and the cry resounded throughout the Tongwen Museum.

"Are you going to recruit or not?"

"Xiaguan...... All the recruits have been recruited, my lord, you just beat me to death, and the lower officials can't talk nonsense! ”

I really didn't expect that the noble boy here in the hall really has a lot of tenacity, and it seems to be out of the way.

It is impossible for He Shikuan to really use all the 18 kinds of punishment on him, so it is really a trick, and once he retracts his confession, it will be extremely unfavorable to the New Party.

"Come on! Escort him down first, and immediately send someone to Wen's house to ask Wen Yanbo for verification, to see if he used to say that Liu Zhi was Sima Zhao! ”

Although Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, and Wang Yansuo were also important ministers of the old party, they were still lighter than Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan.

Lu Dafang has been the prime minister for many years during the Yuan You period, which goes without saying;

And Han Zhongyan is actually the leader of Han Qi's officials, Han Qi has experienced three dynasties, in the Yingzong Dynasty, the power of the government and the opposition, his subordinates have developed a huge bureaucratic faction, these officials are closely united around the core of the Han family, forming a party to fight against differences, Han Zhongyan, as the leader of the Han Qi officials, is no lighter than Lu Dafang.

Now that the leaders of the two old parties have been removed from Wen Jifu, when the old party conspiracy to abolish the throne is not enough, the new party is naturally very dissatisfied with this.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but everything is about evidence, and it is not a way to bend into tricks or fabricate out of thin air; although the New Party has always been regarded as a traitor, in fact they are still more principled in their actions;

To give two examples: when Su Shi was demoted, Zhang Dian repeatedly extended a helping hand to him; And when Zhang Dian was demoted, Su Shi became a participant in the debasement of Zhang Tun.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Gao Tao wanted to repeal Emperor Shenzong's new law, but the new party stopped it on the grounds that 'the father is dead, and the son should not change his father's will within three years', which is the orthodox concept of Confucianism! Sima Guang and others had no way to refute it, so they pulled out a fig leaf of 'changing the mother to the child' to abolish the new law.

Gao Taotao only temporarily managed the country in place of Zhao Xu, she is not the emperor, if the reason of 'changing the mother to the son' is true, then doesn't it mean that Gao Taotao is the emperor? So where should Zhao Xu, the real emperor, stand?

Who is the traitor?

At least the New Party will not consider itself a traitor! Therefore, although the new party is anxious to fight the old party forever and cannot turn over, it will not be unprincipled.

He Shikuan and Zhang Shangying soon reported the trial situation to Zhang Dian, and Zhang Xuan just smiled coldly at Wen Jifu's far-fetched explanation, and ordered Shao Zhen, the imperial envoy from the palace, to go to the Wen family to ask Wen Yanbo, if the words of the father and son are not right, it means that Wen Jifu is lying, and then don't blame us for the big punishment!

At the same time, Zhang Dian received an urgent report from Yang Yi from Yanmen Pass, Zhang Dian was a little stunned, Yang Yi actually appeared in Yanmen Pass, which was too unexpected for him! When he saw the contents of the emergency report, he couldn't help but be even more surprised;

Yang Yi successfully reduced the Liao State by reducing 100,000 yuan of coins, and the rest was also converted into gifts, which was a remarkable achievement for the new party that was in power at the beginning.

This will correct the name of the new party from another aspect: Our new party is stronger than your old party, and it is self-evident that your old party has been in power for nine years, while our new party has only been in power for one year, and it is self-evident whether it is superior or inferior.

And what surprised Zhang Duan was not these, but the rebellion of the Liao State mentioned by Yang Yi, as well as the transactions with the grassland tribes such as Zubu.

If it weren't for Yang Yi's words, how would the Great Song Dynasty know that the Liao State was so corrupt and rebelled so frequently?

After reading Yang Yi's urgent report, Zhang Dian did not delay for a moment, and immediately strode towards Baowen Pavilion.
