Chapter 236

Lin Tian looked at the prison warden in surprise and said, "Yes, I have a bit of cultivation, hehe, I am much stronger than you adults!" When he said the second half of the sentence, he wore a mockery on his face, obviously ridiculing the torture.

The prison warden hurriedly bowed, saying that he did not dare to dare, and appeared cautious.

The embarrassed face of the bitter official robe sleeves wiped sweat, he was already shocked into a cold sweat.

As the book of the criminal department, what are the cruel criminal laws in the dungeon, he naturally knows very well, and when he encounters major criminals and important criminals, he will even stay in the dungeon for a day, watching the prison guards be punished, while asking about the case.

Of course, he is a civil official, and what he is good at is not all kinds of criminal law tricks, but what he is proficient in fabricating crimes.

When he came to Kaifeng to participate in the imperial examination when he was young, he was bored and wandered around the book market one day, and happened to find a copy of the "Luo Weaving Classic" compiled by the cool officials of the Tang Dynasty in a used book stall.

When he returned to the inn, he eagerly opened and read, this reading was a whole night, he was frightened inexplicably at the beginning, cold sweat, and then his heart trembled and excited, like a treasure.

He felt that the book he had purchased by chance had opened the door to a new world for him, and he felt that the scenery behind this door was so sincere and holy! There are no lies, no deception, no unrealistic preaching!

He was obsessed with the truth in the book, and he was ecstatic to congratulate himself on his wisdom, but he could only suppress this joy in his heart.

Yes, he could not reveal all this, because it was diametrically opposed to the teachings of the sages!

In that imperial examination, he was admitted, and since then he has entered the official career, but he is not satisfied, because he still abides by the admonition of gentleness, courtesy and frugality, but he was wrong, he was in this Kaifeng capital, and he worked as a small official for nearly ten years, but he was promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh grade, and the speed can be described as like a snail crawling. And those "Tongjin" who were admitted at the same time as him were all of a higher grade than him.

He was not angry in his heart, but later realized that he was stupid when he read by himself, and didn't the saints also respect and teach, saying that they should know how to weigh and weigh?

So he changed, he was no longer abiding by the precepts of gentleness and frugality, of course he still needed these as cover, his heart began to liven, he began to care about the government and politics, and began to speculate about the preferences of the officials......

Soon after Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he was repeatedly promoted to Wang Anshi, he did not feel jealous, but saw the opportunity, he tried his best to understand Wang Anshi's political opinions, and used this to deduce the thoughts of the officials.

When Wang Anshi entered the court and was resisted by the old bureaucrats, he knew that the opportunity had come, and he was not qualified to enter the court to discuss matters, so he worked hard to write an essay in support of Wang Anshi!

He thus entered Wang Anshi's vision, and under his gentle and frugal appearance, there was a poison of deliberate pandering and subtle flattery.

So Wang Anshi was deceived, he trusted the torture, deeply trusted! He even said more than once in front of officials and colleagues: It's easy to put icing on the cake, but it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and the punishment is the one who gives me charcoal in the snow!

Wang Anshi's vision of people has always been criticized. Of course, Su Shi and Sima Guang didn't say it, but even Zhao Ji sometimes felt weak about Wang Anshi's employment.

The criminal forgiveness was then reused, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, and he became an important force in the reformers, and in this position, he gave full play to his talents, and the cases he framed, every case was an iron case, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and one by one the old bureaucrats were degraded and degraded in his hands.

As long as the Song Dynasty doctor did not rebel, there was no capital crime, so no one died in his hands, but there were also two cases of petty officials who were implicated and went to the dungeon of the Criminal Department, and they were released from prison in good health after three months, but they died of fever half a month later.

Xingshu gradually became the pioneer of the reformers, and later after Wang Anshi resigned, he changed the prime minister for four terms, but his position as a scholar has always been as stable as Mount Tai and has not changed.

All the officials knew that he was a sinister villain, but no one dared to attack him in the court.

He is even more feared than Wang Anshi, because although Wang Anshi is stubborn, he is a gentleman, and he is an out-and-out insidious villain.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and when the officials see him, they all avoid him, for fear of provoking him and becoming a victim of the struggle between the reformists and the opposition.

Xing Shu wiped his cold sweat, and suddenly glanced at the sharp corner of his eyes, and saw that Prince Linghe lying on the bed was quite strange, and it was quite stuffy in the dungeon in broad daylight, but he was wrapped in a quilt all over, and looking at him, he did not take off his coat.

His heart shuddered, those limbs wouldn't be...... It's Prince Linghe's!

Lin Tian seemed to know how to read minds, and said softly on the side: "Master Xing guessed well, Lin removed the limbs of this bullshit prince. ”

Xing Shu secretly took a deep breath, trembled his hands slightly, and lifted the quilt, without the expected blood, at this time Prince Linghe had already fallen asleep, and Xing Shu looked at him and saw that his limbs were now broken, but even the skin and flesh had grown in the severed place, and he was not only frightened, but also amazed.

Lin just wanted to ask him a few questions, but he didn't answer them well, so he ended up like this. Lin Tian suddenly smiled lightly: "Master Xing, Lin also has a few questions that I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer them honestly." ”

Xing Shu shuddered, "You...... What do you ask? ”

Lin Tian didn't beat around the bush either, and said: "This prince of the widow was secretly blackened, Master Xing, tell me why!" ”

"This ......" Xing Shu hesitated for a moment before he said: "It was ordered by the lower official to do it, because ......"

The punishment was frank and intermittent, and he told the story that the Chixiao Sword was dug up by Faqiumen, Qin Tianguan was killed by the Japanese people, the Chixiao Sword was stolen, and the official family ordered to investigate. As he spoke, he thought in his heart: "The relationship between the Lord of the Forest Sect and the official family is extraordinary, and the official family will also say that he will listen to the Lord of the Forest Sect and seek the help of the Lord of the Forest Gate. ”

Lin Tian and Qiao Feng were shocked when they heard Xing Shu tell one of these stories, and Lin Tian said in his heart: "It turns out that Qin Yourong's family suffered a tragedy, and it was really because of his guilt!" ”

At the same time, he was curious about the Chixiao Sword in his heart, he was equipped with the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and the legend was also mysterious, but Lin Tian knew that it did contain incomparable power.

Therefore, the legend of the Chixiao Sword is also very mysterious, but Lin Tian did not take it as a story, but attached great importance to it, believing that the legend of the Chixiao Sword was not groundless.
