The cells of the Magistrate's House were already overcrowded.

Under the selfless and hard work of many shrewd, capable and experienced prosecutors of the Imperial History Zuotai headed by Ji Junchen, the "rebellious comrades" fell into the legal net one after another.

The eunuchs in the inner palace, the ministers in the court, the officials who returned to their hometowns, the heads of the prefectures and counties, and even the generals at all levels in the army were constantly arrested into the "Routine Gate", and now the "traitors" who have only been arrested can no longer be stuffed into their cells, and the Magistrate's Court has no choice but to vacate the row of houses behind the West Chamber, which store firewood, charcoal, office utensils, and other miscellaneous items, as a place to hold prisoners.

However, there are still a few cells in the prison that are very relaxed, and these cells are of course where the prime ministers are held. In the beginning, these prime ministers were divided into separate custodys, but the cells in the prison became more and more tight, and these prime ministers were the focus of care, and if they were separated, everyone needed to be guarded, so their cells were moved closer again.

However, they have already confessed their guilt, and the emperor also believes that they have confessed, in the eyes of Lai Junchen, these people are already waiting for death, and it is impossible to turn the sky upside down, so now they are locked together, and they don't care much.

Judge Wang Deshou roamed back and forth outside Di Renjie's cell, many times, he looked at the cell where Di Renjie was being held, as if he wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head and walked away with a heavy heart. Di Renjie sat cross-legged in the prison, eating lunch slowly, as if he hadn't paid attention to anything, but Wang Deshou's expression of wanting to speak and stopping was seen in his eyes without leakage.

According to the prison system of the Tang Dynasty. Prisoners' food is sent to their families in prison, and this law was originally enacted to prevent some poor people from deliberately committing crimes in prison for the purpose of eating in prison. However, in China, there is also a traditional custom of "compassion for prisoners", if the prisoner does not have a family, then the prison is required to provide food, but the quality of the meal can be imagined.

These detainees are all prime ministers, so naturally they have family members to deliver food. There was no way the family could let them eat that unpalatable prisoner. It's just that when their families bring food in, they are subjected to a hundred times stricter inspections than ordinary prisoners.

Di Renjie was full, took out a water bottle and poured a bowl of water. Drinking slowly, at this time, Wang Deshou went out for a walk and came back, constantly walking around Di Renjie's cell. It seemed that he was inspecting the cell, but his eyes kept looking at Di Renjie.

Wang Deshou is not a cronie under Lai Junchen, he was born on the right path, studied the law at an early age, and after years of hard work, he survived to the position of judge. Now seeing that others are easily promoted by constantly digging out the accomplices of the traitorous party, Wang Deshou is very hot.

However, most of the officials who could be released from trial were divided among Lai Junchen's subordinates, and the task given to him by Lai Junchen was to keep an eye on these prime ministers and not let others contact them. These prime ministers, even if they come to Junchen to let him interrogate. It's not something he can judge at all.

Di Renjie, Pei Xingben, Ren Zhigu, these are all extremely popular figures, the head of a hundred officials, the prestige they have cultivated over the years, every move and even a look. can give people great coercion, and the imperial historians who came to Junchen's subordinates may not be able to understand this, but he, an official who climbed up step by step from a small official, will never ignore it, and the kind of coercion formed because of class has penetrated into his bone marrow.

Seeing that others were promoted one after another, Wang Deshou was ready to move. wants to find out a few traitors and fellow party members through several prime ministers under his care, he is not young, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future. He didn't want to pass up the opportunity, but he really didn't know how to go about it. …,

After thinking about it, he set his goal on Di Renjie. Di Renjie has a nickname in officialdom, called Old Fox. Old fox means smart, and smart people like to make deals with people the most. A smart person has many eyes, and a person with many eyes is always less determined than a simple person.

When he came to Zhongcheng to interrogate the three prime ministers that day, Di Renjie was the first to admit his guilt, which just confirmed his analysis, so he pinned the opportunity for promotion on Di Renjie, but he just wanted to think that when he really walked in front of Di Renjie, he still couldn't raise the courage.

Di Renjie drank water, quietly observed his actions, suddenly coughed, and said calmly: "Judge Wang, the old man has already eaten, please take out the rice basket for me." ”

"Huh? Good, good! ”

Judge Wang hurriedly came to the front of the prison door, Di Renjie lifted the basket, handed it out from the dining door, suddenly muttered, dusted off the placket, and said: "The old man's court clothes are still the new robes that he just received at the beginning of the year, you see, now he is wearing all the folds and stained with mud, it's a pity, I bother you to take it back with you, and ask my family to clean it well." Tomorrow they will send me some lighter clothes, for it is very hot and humid in this prison, and it is really uncomfortable. ”

"Good, good! Di Xiang is wearing this court dress, and it is indeed not very convenient to sit and sleep! ”

Wang Deshou finally talked to him, and hurriedly agreed, Di Renjie took off his clothes slowly and handed them to him, Wang Deshou took the clothes, lifted the basket, and said to Di Renjie diligently: "Di Xiang, I'll send it out!" ”

Di Renjie smiled slightly, and said in a calm voice: "There is a judge of King Lao." ”

Ren Zhigu and Pei Xing were locked up in Di Renjie's cells on the left and right, Di Renjie and Wang Deshou's answer, both of them saw it, and as soon as Wang Deshou left, the two quickly approached Di Renjie's cell, and said excitedly: "Di Gong, you are still scheming, just do this!" ”

It turned out that yesterday Di Renjie took advantage of the jailer's unpreparedness, tore off a piece of underwear, bit his finger, wrote something on it, and then pretended to rest, lying with his back to the prison door, as long as the jailer was not in front of the prison, he used a hairpin to carefully pick open the thread of the court suit, zuihou stuffed the blood book into it, and it took a long time to smooth it out, and the disassembled silk thread was flattened, and Zuihou looked like the robe was fine.

These things took him a whole afternoon. The two prime ministers locked in his cells on the left and right could see everything clearly through the fence wall, and Di Renjie's actions naturally couldn't hide from them. When Di Renjie and Wang Deshou answered, their nervous hearts rose to their throats, and it wasn't until Wang Deshou went out that the two were ecstatic.

Di Renjie's expression was still very calm, he sighed softly, and sighed: "There are more and more people coming to Junchen to arrest them. The more people there are, the more it looks like that. The taboo of the emperor is nothing more than rebellion. Not only is there more than one Junchen here to stir up trouble here, but there are also the kings of the Wu clan, even if they don't come forward. I will also take this opportunity to instruct them to tell the truth in front of the Empress, and I fear that the Empress will believe it without a doubt if they have done it in a multi-pronged manner. ”

Di Renjie lightly brushed his beard and said worriedly: "Although the blood book has been sent out, I don't know if it can be found by my family, if my family finds it, will there be a chance to send it to the imperial front, if not, we will not even have a chance to live in Zuihou." Now. I can only do my best and obey the destiny of God......"

At this time, Lai Junchen was personally trying Zhang Qianqiao, the general of Zuo Yuxuan's guard, Zhang Qianqiao was handcuffed with iron shackles on his feet and chains around his hands, and was escorted to the lobby. The two compartments immediately cheered up the standing hall Wei: "Wei...... Wu ......"...,

The stick slammed to the ground, shaking the ground slightly, making people panic when they heard it. Zhang Qianmiao is a veteran of a hundred battles, he has seen swords and swords, where will he put this bit of formation in his eyes, he stood there steadily. Looking at Lai, Junchen just sneered slightly.

Lai Junchen slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "The criminal minister Zhang Qianxuan, don't kneel down yet!" ”

Zhang Qianqiao pursed his lips and said proudly: "This handsome man has made countless contributions to the country on the battlefield. This great country has a share of the merit of this handsome. What are you, in terms of merit, not as good as Zhang; In terms of official position, there is also a big difference between Zhang, Zhang was wrongfully imprisoned, what is the crime, why do you kneel to you, the villain who can only flatter the horse? ”

Lai Junchen has arrested so many people, and he has never seen one so arrogant, so he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Zhang Qianxuan, this official is ordered to try you, you are an official, you are guilty of treason, and you dare to roar in court, so arrogant?" If you don't admit your guilt, the official will be punished for a long time!" ”

Lai Junchen gave an order, and his subordinates rumbled up those strange-shaped, blood-stained torture instruments again. Zhang Qianqiao didn't even look at it, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said coldly: "You came to Junchen's notoriety, who in the whole world doesn't know?" If you want to judge the handsome, you can! But you Yushitai, Ben Shuai can't believe it! If you want to judge the marshal, unless the three divisions will judge ......"

After Zhang Qianqiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the hall, and said coldly as he walked: "When the officials of the three divisions are all here, please invite this marshal to the hall!" ”

Lai Junchen trembled angrily, he thought he was crazy enough, but he didn't expect to meet a person who was even more arrogant than him on his territory, Lai Junchen slapped a piece of startling wood with a "pop" sound, and shouted loudly: "Come on!" Take Zhang Qianqiao down for me, and the big punishment is waiting! ”

"Who dare!"

Zhang Qianqiao's leopard's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, bluffing the deacons who had just come up to retreat suddenly, and Lai Junchen shouted angrily when he saw this: "You waste, he is tied to his hands and feet, and he is a waste, what are you afraid of, take it!" Take him down for me, and torture him! ”

Lai Junchen reminded those deacons with a word, they suddenly rushed up again, Zhang Qianqiao and the deacons had a fight, but his hands were tied, the shackles were short, and he couldn't even take a big stride, at first he knocked away a few deacons with his bravery, and then he was beaten down by a stick on his head and face, and his head was bleeding, and his hair bun was also scattered, and his hair was scattered, so he was not embarrassed.

As the chief general of the first army, when was he so humiliated by a group of lowly deacons, he was so angry that he shouted violently: "This handsome man is fighting to the death, and today he will get rid of you traitor for the court!" ”

Zhang Qian turned around violently, knocked away a few deacons, and went straight to Lai Junchen, who was sitting behind the judgment seat, and when Lai Junchen saw that he was angry and rushed to the crown, like a fierce tiger, his heart was also empty, and he hurriedly left his seat, and shouted while dodging: "Fool! It's all a bunch of idiots, so stop him yet! ”

There was a sudden chaos in the court, Lai Junchen was all over the house, Zhang Qianmiao then chased after him, and a bunch of deacons chased after Zhang Qianmiao's buttocks, and the sticks were beaten down like a torrential rain, Zhang Qianmiao didn't care, just gritted his teeth and chased after Junchen.

Lai Junchen fled around the "Quiet" and "Avoid" cards, and kept shouting: "Zhang Qian has no king's law, and wants to assassinate the chief judge in front of the court." Don't give me a knife to kill him! Kill him for me! ”

As soon as the saber guards guarding in front of the hall saw Lai Junchen's order, they immediately broke into the court, Wei Suizhong snatched the knife from the hand of one of the guards, and caught up with Zhang Qianqiao with an arrow, and slashed it fiercely, Zhang Qianqiao screamed "ah", and was stabbed in the back. The blood flowed profusely.

Zhang Qianqiao just stared at Lai Junchen at this time, and ignored the rest completely, and continued to chase after the pain. After chasing two steps, his steps were a little bigger, and he was pulled by the iron shackles under his feet. He almost fell to the ground, when another guard took the opportunity to stab him again, nearly cutting off one of his arms. …,

Those saber guards started to move, regardless of whether he was the commander of the first army or not, just cut down the knife in his hand like a cloak, and in just a moment, he cut Zhang Qianqiao into a bloody man, Zhang Qianqiao was covered in blood, his eyes wanted to breathe fire, and he glared at Lai Junchen fiercely. Hissing roared: "Come Junchen! Ben Shuai can't wait to eat Er's flesh and drink Er's blood! ”

He kicked his feet and jerked himself off the spot, using himself as a weapon, and threw a spear at Junchen, and seven or eight wind and fire sticks were forked in front of him. He grabbed his arms and slammed them back to form a net of sticks, which struck him in the air and could no longer move.

Lai Junchen pointed at him and shouted, "Kill him!" Kill him for me! ”

A deacon cautiously approached and saw Zhang Qianqiao resting on a stick. Still maintaining the posture of rushing forward, his body was motionless, although his eyes were wide open, but he had lost his charm, the deacon tried Zhang Qian's breathing again, and turned around to report: "Zhongcheng, he is dead!" ”

Lai Junchen exhaled a breath of air, straightened his official hat, tidied up his official robe again, and said hatefully: "It's good to be dead!" It's good to be dead! This pious lawlessness attacked the presiding judge above the court, you have all seen it! Get the corpse out! Mention the next prisoner! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhu Bin, the leading lieutenant, was escorted to the lobby, and when he saw the blood all over the ground, his legs became weak.

He already knew that Zuo Yuxuan's general Zhang Qianmiao was hacked to death by Lai Junchen, and it was Fan Yunxian who was arraigned after Zhang Qianmiao. Fan Yunxian believed that he had served the former emperor Li Zhi, and he didn't take Lai Junchen in his eyes at all, and as soon as he came to the court, he endlessly listed the grievances he had suffered and the merits he had made.

Lai Junchen was just disgraced by Zhang Qianxuan, full of anger, how could he listen to his ramblings, and slapped two shocking trees in a row, but he still couldn't make Fan Yunxian shut up, Lai Junchen was so angry that he simply ordered someone to cut off his tongue. Even the general of the Jade Guard, he dared to slash and kill in front of the court, would he care about a eunuch.

Zhu Bin, who was squatting in the waiting room, saw Zhang Qianqiao being hacked to death and Fan Yunxian having his tongue cut out, and he was already bluffed.

Lai Junchen sat behind the case, glared at Zhu Bin with an angry face, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhu Bin, you and others colluded to rebel, the facts are all there, above the official court, obediently confess, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin!" ”

Zhu Bin was so frightened that his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a "porphy" sound, and said repeatedly: "I'll move!" I'm recruiting! Zhongcheng must not be tortured! ”

Wei Suizhong flashed to Junchen's side, and said in his ear: "Zhongcheng, this person is a small one who was taken out by the way, he ...... I was Yang Fan's boss! ”

"Oh?"

When Lai Junchen heard this, the anger on his face disappeared immediately, he slowly turned his head, looked Zhu Bin up and down, and said with a slight smile: "Guilty minister Zhu Bin, according to the information that this official has already checked, that Yu Linlang will Yang Fan is also your accomplice, but there is such a thing?" ”

Zhu Bin was laughed at by him, he was really more scared than being stared at by him, and when he heard him speak, he nodded his head and said: "Yes, yes, Zhongcheng is wise, Zhongcheng is wise, Yang Fan is the same party of the guilty minister." Yang Fan...... Yang Fan? After Zhu Bin finished speaking, he remembered who Yang Fan was, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lai Junchen in confusion.

Lai Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Hmm! The person who knows the times is Junjie, Zhu Bin, you are a person who knows the times. As long as you are willing to confess honestly, this official here will not embarrass you too much. ”

Lai Junchen put his elbow on the table, leaned forward, and said softly: "Yang Fan is in the most prosperous place in Nanshi, there are seventeen shops, it is really a prince of Fubi!" With so much property, how could he have it as a person who had just been promoted to a general? You are his comrade, do you know who gave him so much property? Weishenme wants to give him such a big fortune, what do you want him to do? ”…,

At this moment, Lai Junchen really looks like a good teacher who is full of patience, but this expression is in Zhu Bin's eyes, but he seems to see the devil smiling at him, Zhu Bin is even more afraid, he trembled and thought for a long time, before he hesitated: "As far as the criminal knows, this Yang Fan ...... It is very appreciated by the official system! ”

Lai Junchen's face changed suddenly, his purpose was just to bite Yang Fan to death, but he didn't want to bite out such a great bodhisattva. Shangguan Wan'er is a celebrity in front of Bixia, Bixia ran to Wufeng Tower at night, and she didn't forget to bring her, this person is not so easy to bring down. Without waiting for Zhu Bin to finish speaking, Lai Junchen slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Bold!" Shangguan is loyal to the emperor, how can he be an accomplice to the traitorous party, and he can't bite others indiscriminately! ”

Zhu Bin was taken aback, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, the criminal minister didn't say that Shangguan was Yang Fan's accomplice, but just said that Yang Fan was clever and sought the appreciation of Shangguan to get close to the emperor Bixia, which is really ill-intentioned......"

Lai Junchen said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't mention Shangguan anymore, you just need to confess who used so much money to buy him!" ”

"This ......" Zhu Bin swallowed his saliva, thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Di Renjie, the local official waiter, ......"

Lai Junchen glanced at him coldly, Zhu Bin immediately closed his mouth, Lai Junchen endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly: "You stupid!" Everyone knows that Di Renjie has no money! If he has so much money to give to Yang Fan, does he still need to move to the edge of Nancheng and get up early every day to come to Miyagi? ”

Zhu Bin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the criminal minister is afraid of Zhongcheng Huwei, and he is a little confused for a while, please allow the criminal minister to think about it again......"

Zhu Bin said in his heart: "This person has to be rich, well......, Xue Huaiyi is rich!" When Yang Fan got married, Xue Huaiyi also gave a big gift of ......, no, Shangguan can't be systematic, if I confess Xue Huaiyi, Junchen won't tear me up! Who else? Liang Wang...... It's not ......."

Zhu Bin thought for a long time and didn't come up with a suitable candidate, and couldn't help crying without tears: "Others don't want to confess and get through, but I want to confess and get through!" Who is it better to recruit? ”

Lai Junchen looked at his stupidity, closed his eyes and breathed steadily, opened his eyes suddenly, tried to keep his expression still pleasant, and said step by step: "Among the rebel parties arrested by this official, there is a Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Youdao. This Li Youdao was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and was a prince of Fubi. Moreover, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he was in charge of engineering, water conservancy, salt ponds, gardens, weapons, tuntian, mining and metallurgy, and currency minting, and he had a lot of money and financial skills......"

Zhu Bin is a good student, Lai Junchen just understood a little, and hurriedly said: "Zhongcheng, this Yang Fan is in an important position, commanding Yulin, they ...... Yes! No, no, it's us, we want to rebel, and without such a capable figure, we can't open the palace gate.

So...... Li You said that he was very profitable, and promised to send him a general to do after the matter was completed, so he bought Yang Fan as the palace internal response, just waiting for the army to kill, then from the palace to respond, led his cronies to cooperate with the outside world, opened the palace gate, welcomed the rebels into the city, and forced the emperor to abdicate! ”

Lai Junchen sat sideways, smiling and looking up, gently brushing his beard, with a leisurely expression.

He looked at the dust on the roof, as if a pretty woman in a goose yellow shirt with a beautiful and charming posture was flying down and rushing into his arms. The little woman was graceful and charming, like a fresh flower after the rain, and like a grape with the fullest and most abundant branches.

He raised his head and closed his eyes slightly, as if he could pick the watery grape in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Although the lobby was still filled with the smell of blood, the tip of his nose seemed to smell the faint and inducing body fragrance of the beautiful woman, and Lai Junchen was intoxicated.

Everyone has something to pursue, some people are for the country and the people, some people are for the future, some people are high-ranking officials, some people are rich and glorious, and some people are intoxicated with power. Lai Junchen felt that compared to these people, he really didn't want much. Actually, he just likes to moan: let the man moan on his torture instrument and let the woman moan on his penis......

P: Today is another 10,000-word update, in order to shelf the grape, ask, month, ticket!!
