The prison of the magistrate's courtyard is empty, the original overcrowded scene is gone, and there are only three people in the entire prison, but these three people are still full of weight, Yushitai only catches big tigers, and Shengdou Xiaomin is not worthy of being locked up in this place.

The three of them are divided into three cells, they are Prime Minister Su Wei, Prime Minister Zhang Xi, and Prime Minister Cui Yuanzong.

Cui Yuanzong sat there dumbfounded.

In less than half a year, he was imprisoned, and after all, he did not escape the curse of the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Thinking of his hesitation when he paid homage to the prime minister, and thinking that he still delusionally wanted to climb to the position of "chief writer" step by step, Cui Yuanzong had a feeling of wanting to cry.

Zhang Xi sat on the straw couch, facing the wall, a little like Dharma facing the wall, but I don't know if he can leave a figure on the wall and realize the true meaning of Buddhism after facing the wall for many years.

The reason why Zhang Xi is like this is completely because he is ashamed of his friends.

Su Wei and Cui Yuanzong were confessed by him, and these two people were also pulled into the water by him at the beginning, to be precise, these two people had no intention of accepting bribes, and the reason why they accepted the benefits of his gifts was not to provide convenience to those officials who asked him to do things, but they were both prime ministers, and they didn't want to offend him. As a result, as soon as he entered the prison, he recruited these two benevolent brothers, and he was really not very authentic in his work, how could he still have the face to see the old man.

Su Wei sometimes sat down, sometimes stood up, sometimes walked, sometimes raised his head and stared blankly at the light of the vent. He hated Zhang Xi for not being righteous, he hated himself for not sticking to his nature, he regretted why he didn't show mercy in the first place, and he was worried that his life's future would be ruined......

With all kinds of thoughts, his gray hair was almost completely white in just a few days.

At this time, he was looking at the corner of the dark prison, thinking faintly about what was behind him.

He has four sons, the eldest, the third, and the fourth are all officials in other prefectures and counties, and I don't know if he will be involved in his affairs, he just committed the crime of sitting on stolen goods, I hope the saint will be wise. Don't punish them.

His second son, Su Fen, is also a talented learner. Among the four sons, he is also the best, but Su Wei knows that the official career of Huan Hai is endlessly tempting, and the sinister is also endless, especially after the dictatorship of the Empress Wu, he is constantly killing, just in case, he did not let his second son be an official.

Now the second son, Su Fen, has married and had children. Living in Meishan County, Shudi, he is the son of the prime minister, and he has a university question, and now he is a famous local gentry, and this eunuch turmoil should not affect him. So. Even if there are greater changes, the Su family will at least be able to preserve one bloodline.

Thinking of this, Su Wei felt a little comforted in his heart. But just now I felt a little relieved, and when I thought of his brother Su Weixuan, I couldn't help but feel a little sad again.

Su Weixuan is his brother, the age difference between the two brothers is very large, and his father died early. He also raised this young brother as a brother and father, and taught him knowledge. Now that the official prince is washing horses, he is worthy of his dead parents. He took great care of this young brother. But since he became the prime minister, the brothers have gone farther and farther.

Because Su Wei Xuanjian saw that his brother became the prime minister. often asks him to do something unreasonable, every time Su Wei refuses, Su Weixuan will be annoyed and angry, not only to his brother but also to beat and even speak ill of him, Su Wei has always been dissatisfied, and spoiled his younger brother very much, which can be said to have fulfilled his brother's duty.

Now that he is in prison, Wei Xuan has never come to visit, perhaps because the magistrate's court has strict supervision and does not allow the family members of the prisoners to visit, but the three meals a day are all sent by his own servants, and he has not seen Wei Xuan's slightest dedication, Su Wei still doesn't know that his younger brother is angry with him, so that he ignores his brother's feelings, and he can't help but feel sad when he thinks about it.

This official is frightened and frightened, and his brothers are out of harmony, so boring.

Su Wei sighed for a long time there, walking and stopping, looking like a master of the six gods, and Wang Deshou who was cruising in prison saw it all in his eyes.

This Wang Deshou was originally a judge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the last time Di Renjie and the other seven members were imprisoned, seeing that others were rising by asking questions, this Wang Deshou was also red-eyed, and wanted Di Renjie to bite other officials as a stepping stone for his own promotion. Unexpectedly, Di Renjie had a fierce temperament, and he actually hit Zhu Mingzhi with his head, which scared him into urine.

After Di Renjie and others were released from prison without charge, some imperial historians who relied on torture to extract confessions were exiled to the border wasteland, but he who was not promoted escaped the catastrophe, but was demoted and retained, and demoted from a judge to a prison officer.

The reaction of the three prime ministers, Wang Deshou watched coldly, looked at them one by one, and secretly remembered them in his heart.

This time the three prime ministers were imprisoned, and the female emperor specially summoned him, a prisoner, and told him to closely monitor the movements in the prison, not only to see how Wan Guojun and others asked about the case, but also to observe the reaction of the three prime ministers in prison.

Wang Deshou knew that this was a great opportunity for the official to be reinstated, and he was very excited, he now regarded himself as a spy of the Son of Heaven, and his red heart was all towards the female emperor.

Su Wei sighed when he thought about the future, sighed when he thought about his brother, sighed when he thought about his son, sighed and sighed, regretful, and didn't know how many times he sighed, as soon as the cell door opened, a big man stood at the door of the prison and shouted: "Wang Yushi arraigned prisoners Zhang Xi, Su Wei, Cui Yuanzong!" ”

When Wang Deshou heard this, he stood up and took out a bunch of keys from his waist.

Su Wei, who was spinning around like ants on a hot pot in the cell, couldn't help but shudder when he heard Wang Yushi's name.

Although the civil officials and the cool officials suffered heavy losses in several battles, the cool officials of the Yushitai were also greatly withered and lost their former grandeur. Now there are not many famous cool officials left in the Imperial History Terrace, and those surnamed Wang and qualified to interrogate their imperial history Needless to say, it must be Wang Hongyi.

It's no wonder that Su Wei is afraid, this Wang Hongyi is an extremely domineering and ruthless person.

I think that at the beginning, in order to ascend the throne, Wu Zetian instructed the cool officials to arrange charges and massacre the Li Tang clan and officials loyal to Li Tang. At that time, Lai Junchen concocted evidence to accuse Wang Anren, the governor of Shengzhou, of rebellion, and Wu Zetian sent Wang Hongyi to interrogate.

Wang Hongyi rushed to Shengzhou, flailed the governor Wang Anren and his son to torture to extract a confession, Wang Anren refused to accept it, gritted his teeth and refused to admit his guilt, Wang Hongyi ignored it, blatantly cut off the heads of Wang Anren and his son, and returned to Beijing with a wooden box sprinkled with lime. When passing by Fenzhou, Sima Mao Gong of Fenzhou hurriedly greeted him and treated him as a guest.

Wang Hongyi entered the city, went to Mao Gong's reception banquet, drank three rounds, suddenly changed color, scolded Mao Gong for going down, accused him of also opposing the rebel party of Empress Wu, and ordered him to be beheaded left and right, with a gun to pick his head, dripping blood all the way, swaggering back to Beijing, so in one fell swoop, he immediately became a powerful general under Lai Junchen.

This Wang Hongyi also has a trick to torture prisoners, in the scorching summer, spread felt blankets in a small room without ventilation, cover the prisoners, and soon die of exhaustion, without the slightest scar on his body, and then report a violent death. His murderous reputation was so bad that when a copy of his deeds arrived in the locality, the state and county trembled, and he was more unswerving than the holy decree.

Wang Hongyi therefore boasted: "My literature is like a wolf poison and wild arrowroot, and no one is afraid!" ”

"Now you want this man to judge me......"

Thinking of this, Su tastes like dead ashes.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the lobby, Wang Hongyi sat solemnly and wore a neat crown.

Since Junchen was demoted to join the army in the same state, the momentum of the imperial history platform plummeted, and a group of imperial historians all clamped their tails and behaved, and they were aggrieved for a long time.

Yu Shitai is no longer majestic, and it is difficult for him to collect money, and even for safety, he has to rack his brains to set up an antique shop, and there is only one business in ten days and a half months.

Now that the three prime ministers are in prison, the government and the opposition are shaken, and this case is handled well, and Yushitai can regain its prestige. Wan Guojun has secretly instructed him: "The Son of Heaven is old, and his suspicion is especially important than before, so he must think of ways to deal with this corruption case into a case of rebellion, as long as it involves rebellion, the Son of Heaven is worried, and he will inevitably reuse the Yushitai again." ”

The reason why he asked him to question the case today is precisely because he is famous for murder, and Wan Guojun wants to use his prestige to intimidate the three prime ministers to confess obediently according to the confession he wants.

"Take someone to commit it!"

Wang Hongyi was shocked and high-spirited!

At this moment, a sentry suddenly came to the gate of the magistrate's court, twenty knives and hands, twenty gunmen and stickers, wearing black scarves on their heads, Yan Ling on their heads, wearing official uniforms with blue backgrounds and red edges, and black soap boots. There are two flags in front of the head, and three people riding horses in the front, forming a sharp triangle, and approaching the gate of the courtyard.

When the guards in front of the gate saw it, they didn't know which yamen was here, so they stepped forward to stop it, and shouted: "This is the Imperial Observatory Magistrate's Court, who dares to trespass!" ”

One of the three horses was heroic and silent. On the horse behind him, an official in a green-robed official robe held a yellow scroll high and shouted: "The Criminal Department is ordered to take people, who dares to obstruct it, retreat!" ”

The doorman was shocked, seeing a roll of Huang Chengcheng in his hand, he didn't dare to fake the holy decree, so he had to retreat in a panic, and the three horses led dozens of soap servants to break into the palace directly.

When the public servants who came and went in the magistrate's house saw this scene, they did not know what was happening, and they followed them to watch, and after a while, more and more people came to hear the news, and one of the little officials ran out in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put down the brush in his hand, which looked quite ridiculous.

This is the second time Yang Fan has entered the Push Hospital, the last time he came as a prisoner, this time he still has a hand-held shackle behind him, but he is the judge who came to get people.

Yang Fan rode his horse straight into the magistrate's courtyard, and only when he arrived at the yazhong did he turn over and dismount, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at the person on his right.

Following Yang Fan were Feng Xihui, the head of the Criminal Department, and Yuan Han, the head of the Criminal Department. Yang Fan glanced at it, and Yuan Han immediately shouted to a small official of the Imperial History Terrace: "We will wait for the order to take people, where is the Imperial History King Hongyi, and ask him to come forward and answer!" ”

The little official changed color and said, "Wang Yushi...... Three convicts are being arraigned! ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Where did he ask about the case?" ”

Yang Fan had a warm smile on his face, and the little official saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, his hands trembled, and the brush he was holding fell to the ground. He didn't recognize that this chilling official with a cold smile was the unkempt Yang Lang general in the Imperial History Terrace.

The little official pointed forward tremblingly, Yang Fan turned his head to look, and with a swing of his chin, dozens of wolf-like servants pounced on him......
