Clearing the mist, a team of brightly dressed brocade guards rushed out of the Nanya Gate, and the sound of iron hooves trampling woke up the sleeping city of Beijing.

"Quick, fast......"

Carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, wearing a mandarin duck fat jacket, wearing a pointed hat, stepping on cowhide straight-sewn boots, stepping on the hard and frozen soil, making a dull sound.

"Listen up, today we are going to the Criminal Department to ask for someone, not to make trouble, give me some rules, listen to the orders of the official, understand?" Du Zhong appeared at the head of the queue with his whole body draped and said loudly.

"Got it!"

"Okay, let's go!"

It is not good for Guo Nu to come forward in person in this matter, it will make the situation uncontrollable, so after weighing it again and again, it is better to let Nanya Zhenfu Du Zhong lead the team.

"Jinyiwei is arresting someone again?"

"Hey, why don't you keep tossing and turning, and don't let the people live a peaceful year?"

A black-canopy carriage entered from You'anmen, and the short-bearded middle-aged man in the car, who thought he was in a green shirt and a thin jacket, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

"Master, do you want to go home first or ......?"

"No, let's go to the military department first." The short-bearded middle-aged man shook his head, commanded, and then lowered the curtain.

East Plant.

"What, a large number of Jinyi guards are dispatched, when is this happening?" Cao Jixiang hadn't woken up yet, and when he received the news, he was taken aback.

"Do you know where they go?"

"It's not clear!" The little eunuch knelt on the ground and said.

"Don't go check it out, idiot!" Cao Jixiang kicked the little eunuch to the ground.

"Daddy, why are you so alarmed?" Cao Qin asked.

"Qin'er. Gather your men and wait for my orders! Cao Jixiang thought for a moment and quickly ordered.

"The child obeys, but it's too early, I'm afraid many people haven't woken up yet?"

"Then go and call, anyway, the sooner the better!"

In the prison of the Criminal Department, silently calculating the time, Meng Yan, who had not slept all night, opened his eyes and moved his muscles and bones a little!

The punishment he received last night was not light, especially the punishment of the cannon burning. Liu Ji'an, this stupid pig, is really ruthless.

Fortunately, I brought some wound medicine with me. Just in case, but now it's being used.

There was no water to clean the wounds, so they had to take off the prison clothes with some medicine first. Change into your original clothes and official robes.

He knows. Guo Nu wouldn't let him stay in the prison for too long. Someone will be sent early this morning!

In the guard room, Liu Ji'an was sleeping soundly. Harazi was all down, with a lascivious smile on his face, obviously dreaming of spring.

"Lord Liu, Lord Liu......"

"Don't make a fuss, come back ......"

"Lord Liu, it's dawn!"

"Oh my, it's dawn?" Liu Ji'an suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes widened.

"Lord Liu, didn't you say that you must wake you up after dawn, you see, it's all bright outside."

"Well, good, very good, this official will be indispensable for your benefits in the future!" Liu Ji'an got up excitedly and patted the jailer who woke up on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Lord Liu!"

"Go, bring a basin of hot water for the official, and the official will wash his face first?"

"Wait a minute!"

Touching the cowhide envelope on his chest, he opened it uncomfortably and looked at it, the letters written by "Meng Yan" were all there, and this piece of paper was worth five thousand taels of silver!

As such a petty official, how many years does it take to make such a large sum of silver, this is really a windfall!

Liu Ji'an, Liu Ji'an, you finally got out!

"My lord, hot water is here!"

"Let it go, you go out first!" Liu Ji'an coughed lightly, and gave a faint order, if the money is available, the official will naturally come, take the money a little bit, and don't worry about the official being promoted, and then you don't have to mix with these untouchables.

Anyway, he is still a lifter, and he mixes with this bunch of prisoners every day, which is a bargain when he thinks about it.

Wash your hands first, then rinse your mouth with green salt, and finally wash your face.

Although Liu Ji'an is only a petty official, this set of rules is quite big, and in the words of the common people, he can put on a score.

Under this procedure, it takes a cup of tea.

Tidying up his clothes, how to say it, he is different from those inferior jailers, the official robe is wrinkled, and it has to be smoothed out, so that he can show the majesty of the great master.

After finishing this qiē, Liu Ji'an was very satisfied and ready to walk out of the guard room!

"Langrig ......"

"Bang!" Coming head-on, he bumped into a jailer in a soap coat, and under the pain, how could Liu Ji'an still care about his image, and scolded, "Blind your dog eyes, I don't know that this official is going out?" ”

"Big, big, it's not good!" The jailer was so frightened that he knelt outside the threshold.

"What's the matter, so flustered, where did you go to the water?"

"No, it's not, my lord, the people of Jinyi and Jinyi are here!" The jailer stammered in fright.

"Jin Yiwei, what are the people of Jin Yiwei doing in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Liu Ji'an was confused, this Jinyiwei has his own edict, and the case he handles has nothing to do with the Criminal Department.

"Quick, take the official to have a look."

Anyway, the arrival of this Jinyi Guard, it is not a good thing, the yamen of the capital knows that the Jinyi Guard is a mourning star.

This official, as soon as he heard that Jinyiwei came to the door, he was afraid, everyone knew that Jinyiwei specialized in arresting officials.

The main gate of the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei did not have the courage to block it, this Criminal Department is one of the six departments of the imperial court, and the minister, that is, Shangshu's rank, is two levels higher than that of Jinyiwei's commander, and then blocking the gate of the Criminal Department is a strict political incident, and then Jinyiwei will have to eat melons.

However, the prison of the criminal department is not so strict, although the prison of the criminal department and the prison of the criminal department are together, but they are actually separate.

Early in the morning, the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department was blocked by the Jinyi guard, which was a rare thing, attracting many people to stop and watch.

Soon the street that was not too wide was blocked.

An upon-horse-drawn carriage drove by.

"Master, the road ahead is blocked!" Handlebar road for a car.

"It's not usually a road that is usually walked. How can it be blocked? The people in the car lifted the curtain and looked out in surprise.

"Master, it seems that something happened to the prison of the Criminal Department, and there are a lot of brocade guards." The handlebar stood up and looked around.

"See, what's going on?" The middle-aged man in the green robe with a short beard frowned.

"Master, do you want to turn around and go around?" Lao Dong asked. 、

"No, it's not that far from the military headquarters, I'll just get out of the car and walk over." A middle-aged man in a green robe with a short beard came out of the carriage. He was also carrying a gray baggage in his hand.

"Sir. You're alone, I'm not at ease? ”

"Then you just go around and wait for me at the gate of the military department!" The middle-aged man commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Lao Dong agreed. Turning the horse's head and heading back.

The short-bearded middle-aged man continued to walk towards the front with the crowd watching the excitement.

"Xiaguan Liu Ji'an has seen Master Du!"

"Lord Liu is polite. The officer is here today. If there's nothing else, I'll just ask you something? ”

"Lord Du, may I ask, the lower officials know everything. There is no end to the words. Although Liu Ji'an didn't like Jinyiwei in his heart, as a low-level official, he was still very envious of Du Zhong in his heart.

Jinyiwei is very authoritative, even a small hundred households are much stronger than him, the head of the prison hall of the criminal department.

People walk on the street, respond to every call, and the majesty matters.

"Did you detain a young prisoner yesterday, not tall, but very spirited?" Du Zhong asked.

"Young prisoner, there were no prisoners transferred to the Criminal Department yesterday, Master Du, are you mistaken?" Liu Ji'an recalled.

"This official will make it clear again, this young man came to visit the prison of the Criminal Department with Wen Xiaoyu, the shopkeeper of Songhe Tower?" Du Zhong asked coldly.

"Smell the light rain of Songhe Tower?" Liu Ji'an "groaned" in the middle of the "groan", and secretly said that it was not good, this Wen Xiaoyu's energy is so big, he actually provoked Jinyiwei, fortunately he didn't make a move to Wen Xiaoyu yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.

However, Liu Ji'an was not afraid, he had also worked in the Criminal Department for so many years, and he had seen big and small scenes.

"Remembered?"

"I remembered, I remembered, Lord Du, your reminder, the lower official remembered that there was such a young man who came to visit the prison with Wen Xiaoyu's shopkeeper, but this young man is not a good person, he is a wanted criminal by the Criminal Department, and he was recognized by the official, so he was detained by the lower official!" Liu Ji'an explained.

"The criminal wanted by the Criminal Department, what is the criminal?" Du Chong's lungs were all angry, Meng Yan was the treasurer of the Jinyi Wei Nanya, the emperor gave the unicorn robe, the doctor Fengzheng, and the captain of Zhaoxin.

"It's an adulterer in an adultery murder case!" Liu Ji'an said.

"What adulterer was the adulterer in an adultery murder case?"

"Master Du, do you remember the Bai Suxin case that caused a sensation in the city last year?" Liu Ji'an smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Lord Liu is saying that this man is Bai Suxin's adulterer?"

"Yes!"

"Lord Liu, this official heard that this Bai Suxin has always refused to confess the name of the adulterer, but I didn't expect him to be caught by you, are you going to make a meritorious service?"

"Lord Chengdu's auspicious words!" Liu Ji'an couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Can you take this official to see what this adulterer looks like?" Du suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"This ......"

"What, is this official not qualified to enter this prison of the Criminal Department?" Du Zhong said unhappily.

"No, no, Lord Du is going to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, so naturally there is no problem, but so many brothers will ......"

"Don't worry, they're all outside, I'll take two of my men in with you, how about it?" Du Chongdao.

"Then it's no problem, Lord Du, please!"

"Lord Liu, please!"

"Lord Du, this prison of the Criminal Department is not as good as your Beiya Imperial Prison, you should be careful, it is dark and wet here, and it is slippery ...... carefully"

"Don't worry, this official hasn't seen anything, and this is not the first time I've come to this prison department!" Du Zhong said as he walked.

"That's it, the cell in front of you!"

Du Chong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, this is clearly a death row for heavy prisoners, and generally prisoners who have not been interrogated and sentenced will not be held here.

This Liu Ji'an actually locked Meng Yan up here, obviously he was beaten into a trick, and decided that he couldn't get out of here. (To be continued......)
