Chapter 278: Rescuing the Saint (Part II)
How did Wang Shouren get into the court, the answer to this question is worthy of Zhu Houzhao's reflection, compared with Zhu Houzhao, he is a good classmate with excellent character and learning, of course, Wang Shouren also has to reflect on himself, why is the great sage who is rare to see in a thousand years but is disliked by the current emperor. ,!
"Mention an interrogation of the head of the military department, is it necessary to go to the palace to tell me?"
Jinyiwei has the privilege of arresting and interrogating, but whenever an official commits a crime, a driving post comes to the door, and then the captain is detained and leaves, never scruples too much, a small six-grade military department director, actually labor Jinyiwei commander personally entered the palace to ask the emperor for instructions, which made Zhu Houzhao feel very puzzled.
Qin Kan said with a sad face: "The minister should not disturb the emperor, but this person has not been smooth recently, before the minister sent someone to take him, he has been taken down by Liu Gonggong, this Wang Shouren is too ignorant, somehow he greatly offended Liu Gonggong, the minister heard that Liu Gonggong is going to kill him at the noon gate today, His Majesty, Wang Shouren is dead and does not matter, but the case that the minister is pursuing in his hand is afraid that the clue has been broken, so he has to enter the palace to ask His Majesty for a decree, can you let the minister try him first?" ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled nonchalantly: "What else should I do, it's very simple, you tell Liu Jin and let him hand over the person to you, won't you get it......"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Gonggong Liu will not be angry and refuse to let go......"
Zhu Houzhao immediately understood what Qin Kan meant, sighed heavily and said, "This is the purpose of your entry into the palace today?" For the sake of a military director? ”
"Exactly."
"My mighty general...... Alas, unjustly! Zhu Houzhao regretted it for a long time before he said: "You go and tell Liu Jin's old minion, just say that it is my will, and hand over Wang Shouren to you for interrogation,...... By the way, what case is Wang Shouren involved in? ”
Qin Kan raised his head and glanced at Zhu Houzhao quickly, then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "A secret girl in Jingshi was killed, it is said that there was a dispute because the prostitute refused to give money after the prostitution, and the minister sent Jinyi Wei to check, there were a total of three people who prostituted her that night, Wang Shouren happened to be one of them, cough, it's just suspicious, it's understandable not to give money, kill people for this matter, it is estimated that he may not be able to do such a tasteless thing......"
Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth wide, his expression was sluggish, with a deep sense of pathos in his sluggishness, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "What are the things in my court...... Alas, go on, go and get things straight. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has to ask for another decree, if it is confirmed that Wang Shouren is related to the murder of the woman, the natural murder will pay for his life, if it is irrelevant, it is just that the prostitution did not give money,...... Ahem, what should I do? ”
Zhu Houzhao said with a look of disgust: "Do you still need to ask about this matter?" To do such a tasteless thing, of course, the farther away he is, the better, and don't let me hear his name in the future......"
Qin Kan followed up and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean...... Degrading Wang Shouren? ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't notice Qin Kan's words to trick him, and nodded heavily when he heard the words: "Yes." ”
Qin Kan hung his head, the corners of his mouth quietly hooked, and he quickly regained his composure: "Minister, obey the order." ”
Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Qin Kan's mood was a little lighter.
said "slightly", which means that it is not much easier, just now I played a little trick to deceive the will from Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren's life should be saved, but the bigger trouble is behind, it is impossible to hide Liu Jin from the matter of asking for the decree in front of Zhu Houzhao today, and the nonsense reason for the so-called murder of the woman who is unfounded cannot be concealed from Liu Jin.
The moment he saved Wang Shouren's life, it meant that the relationship between Qin Kan and Liu Jin would become worse and more difficult to make up, and it also meant that Liu Jin's hatred for Wang Shouren would all be transferred to Qin Kan.
What Qin Kan has been avoiding is a direct conflict with Liu Jin, which is not in line with Qin Kan's personal interests, and Qin Kan has already thought carefully about the future pattern of the court after the bloodbath in Dongchang.
The most ideal state is that the contradiction between the civil officials of the court and the inner court intensifies, serious to the extent of acuteness, Liu Jin's power is becoming more and more arrogant, the civil officials have been spoiled by Emperor Hongzhi for 18 years, the situation of the two has changed suddenly in the Zhengde Dynasty, the civil officials have been oppressed by the eunuchs, and the powerful Liu Jin has been blocked by the civil officials everywhere, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, of course, if they do not conflict, it doesn't matter, Qin Kan has a way to make wind and rain between the two, fan the flames, and set up the stage for them early, so they can't help but sing a big drama on stage.
Liu Jin attracted the firepower of the civil officials, while Qin Kan hid in the shadows in a low-key manner, accumulating strength, and when the heat was almost enough, Qin Kan came forward to clean up Liu Jin, which could win some prestige in the DPRK and China, and the implementation of some of the ideals he wanted to achieve in the future would presumably be less resistant.
The wishful thinking of the very good was completely destroyed by Wang Shouren's performance, Qin Kan had to stand up at this inappropriate time, broke his wrist with Liu Jin, and was hated by Liu Jin, of course, it was inevitable that Liu Jin would shoot open guns and hidden arrows in the future.
Wang Shouren should not be called a saint, he should be called a victim.
It's already gentle to put a hat on him that provokes him and doesn't pay him......
The sunlight outside the hall was dazzling, Qin Kan squinted his eyes in the sunlight and let out a long sigh.
That's it, this step has gone out, and there is no regret.
…………
…………
Wang Shouren, who was wearing heavy shackles, had been taken to the small square in front of the noon gate by the fans.
The small square was full of Xichang Fanzi and Forbidden Palace warriors, with a dirty blanket spread in the middle, and two rows of Fanzi holding water and fire sticks stood on both sides of the blanket, staring at Wang Shouren with a cold expression. There are generally only two people who carry out the execution, but in order to avoid the executioner's favoritism and malpractice, deliberately release the water, so as early as the Hongwu period, there were strict regulations on the court cane, and every few canes were applied to change people to execute, and the execution had to shout loudly and vigorously "beat hard" and "beat with heart".
Today's prison sentence is still the eunuch who killed Dai Milling with his own cane, Liu Jinxin's godson Chen An, at this moment Chen An is sitting on a mahogany chair, looking at the sky leisurely with Erlang's legs, the legendary prison eunuch toe inside the eight characters or outside the eight characters to open the routine of life and death, today is completely gone, Chen An is too lazy to do this kind of superficial work, offended his godfather Liu Gonggong, in addition to a dead word, is there any other end?
Wang Shouren smiled mockingly.
Forty canes, if you hit it, you will die if you don't have twenty canes, Liu Jin, a gelding dog, doesn't use a knife to kill people, but it's more cruel than using a knife.
Looking up at the majestic palace with red walls and yellow tiles, Wang Shouren sighed gloomily.
He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and he has already seen through life and death, but he is really unwilling to die in the hands of a gelding.
At this moment, his mind somehow came up with the face of the commander of the brocade guard he had met on the outskirts of the city the day before, and the eighteen-year-old daughter Hong...... that he had stolen from someone else's backyard
Under the cold gaze of countless fans, Wang Shouren actually laughed, laughing loudly and unscrupulously, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
Fanzi and the warriors of the forbidden palace looked at each other, and the same message was conveyed in each other's eyes.
This man is crazy, and he must have been scared crazy.
"The criminal Wang Shouren, pretending to be crazy and stupid, think he can escape the court staff? Are you guilty? Chen An asked coldly.
Wang Shouren laughed so much that tears flowed out, and he gasped: "I'm not guilty...... No, if I had to say that I was guilty, I would only admit that the day before yesterday I drank a jar of wine stolen from someone else, and it was the most delicious wine I have ever drunk in my life. ”
Wang Shouren was not crazy, but Chen An was mad.
"It's noon, come here, strip Wang Shouren's prison clothes, give me a hard beating, really beat!"
Two water and fire sticks one left and one right held Wang Shouren's arms, and then lifted up hard, Wang Shouren's body flew into the air like catkins, and then fell headlong towards the blue brick ground of the square, and fell heavily to the ground, and the ruthless water and fire sticks roared with the sound of breaking the air......
When Wang Shouren was thrown into the air by the water and fire sticks, Qin Kan happened to walk out of the noon gate.
Li Er, who had been waiting outside the noon gate, saw Qin Kan come out, immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and then pointed to Wang Shouren, who was tortured not far from the square, and said anxiously: "Qin Shuai, Wang Shouren has begun to be tortured......
Qin Kan watched unhurriedly as Wang Shouren fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and two water and fire sticks slammed into his buttocks, one left and one right.
"How many rods?"
"Just the first cane." Li Er's forehead was sweating slightly, and he was very puzzled by Qin Kan's unhurried attitude.
He was the one who wanted to protect Wang Shouren's life before, and he was the one who ran for Wang Shouren, but now seeing that Wang Shouren was about to kill Xichang Fanzi with a cane, Qin Shuai was not in a hurry.
Could it be that Qin Shuai suddenly changed his mind and gave up Wang Shouren?
Qin Kan has Qin Kan's plans.
The water and fire stick hit Wang Shouren's buttocks twice, and at this moment Wang Shouren couldn't laugh anymore, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his face was pale and he gritted his teeth, and as the stick fell again and again, he involuntarily let out a painful snort.
The prison eunuch Chen An was still looking leisurely with his feet crossed, and a cold smile appeared on his white and beardless face.
Qin Kan, who was not far away, frowned slightly.
"Li Er......"
"Yes."
"When Wang Shouren received the tenth rod, you rushed up to save people, I have asked for a will from the emperor, and you have no taboos."
Li Er glanced at Qin Kan in confusion.
Why do I have to receive the tenth rod to save someone? If he continues like this, even if he saves people, won't Wang Shouren's favor owed to Qin Shuai be discounted? If you don't make a good fuss, you're not a human being inside or out,...... The mind of a big man is so elusive.
Doubts are doubts, Li Er still clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Yes." ”
Qin Kan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Chen An, who was sneering not far away, and said, "Who is that eunuch?" ”
"Chen An, the new eunuch in the hall, the godson recognized by Liu Jinxin."
Qin Kan frowned and said, "That guy laughs so nastyly, I'll take advantage of the chaos to abolish him later." ”
"Yes!"
Qin Kan nodded, and with a slight flick of the sleeves of his robe, as if a speck of dust had been brushed away, he quietly walked towards the palace gate alone. (To be continued)
