The main buildings in the Jingzhao Mansion are concentrated on the central axis, including Zhaobi, Xuanhuafang, Gate, Yimen, Lobby, Second Hall, Third Hall, Back Garden, etc., which is also the preferred route to enter.

On the sub-line on the east and west sides, there are the Cheng Ya, the Master Book Office, the Dian Shi Office, the East and West Flower Hall, the Yin Hotel, the Dining House, the Prison, the Three Classes and Six Rooms, etc. From the perspective of the overall layout, the yamen strictly follows the regulations of the local government office of the previous dynasty, and expresses the traditional etiquette idea of "sitting in the north and facing the south, the left and the right martial arts, the front facing the back and sleeping, and the prison cell living in the south".

The first building in the Ya is the Zhaobi, also known as the shadow wall, which is a one-line building composed of blue brick reliefs.

In the center is a unicorn-like monster - "Greed", which is a mythical and legendary greedy beast, which is said to be able to devour gold and silver treasures, and because of its insatiable greed, it ends up in pieces.

This carving is located at the front of the ya, and it is also to tell officials not to be corrupt and pervert the law, and at the same time to educate people not to be insatiable.

In the 100-meter corridor from the gate to the lobby, there is a gate called "Yimen", which is the ceremonial door of the yamen, and there is a rule that "civil officials get off the sedan chair and military attaches get off the horse". The door is generally closed and can only be opened when a new official arrives or a senior official arrives.

After the Yimen, it is the lobby of the Yamen, which is also known as the main hall, which is the place where the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion openly hears important cases and holds major ceremonies.

On the pillar of the lobby, there is a couplet: "If you deceive others, you don't deceive yourself, and if you lose the people, you will lose the country, how can you bear it." The facility in the center of the lobby is called "Warm Pavilion", which is a public hall specially designed for the trial of Yin in Jingzhao Mansion.

On both sides of the corridor in front of the lobby, the east is the official, the household, and the ceremonial room, and the west is the soldier, Xing, and the six rooms of the worker. This was the functional organization of the yamen in the old days, and there were scribes here to conduct official business.

Bypassing the lobby, there is the second hall behind it, the second hall is also known as the Qinzhi Hall, which is the place where Fu Yin hears general civil cases and major cases for pre-trial, and it is also a place for retreat and rest when the lobby hears cases.

After passing the prison gate, there is a general prison, and there are not a few prisoners held here.

The deepest part is death row, this is the place where death row prisoners are held, all kinds of torture instruments, just looking at it from a distance, I feel shocked.

Li Chengxun was warmly welcomed by the people in the palace when he arrived, "Lord Shizi, please sit down, and the younger one will serve tea to the two of you." ”

Li Chengxun waved his hand, "No need, let me ask, is your master free at this time?" ”

The little errand said, "Look, isn't this a coincidence, the little adult is ascending to the church, this may be the end of the matter, you are afraid that this time there will be wait." ”

Zuo Yu said curiously, "I don't know what case Lord Qin is trying?" ”

The little errand saluted and said, "It's the succession case of the stepchild who has been in trouble in the city in the past two years." ”

"Hasn't this case been deadlocked for a long time? How to bring it up again at this time? Zuo Yu asked, and also introduced the case to Li Chengxun. It's not a big case, it's a secret recipe for a rich businessman who wants to encroach on his widow's house, and it just so happens that it's the proprietress of the Tianji mutton pot we went to a few days ago.

The rich merchant fell in love with the eldest son of the dead brother Tian Xiancheng, that is, the husband and stepson of the proprietress and wanted to pass on his son. It stands to reason that this folk succession is not uncommon, after all, it is necessary to continue the incense.

But the strange thing about this matter is that this person of the same generation actually became the son of his cousin, which is a bit difficult to overcome in terms of etiquette. But the rich merchant didn't care, he wanted to get the secret recipe by seizing the family property.

This lawsuit has been big for a year or two, and there has been no whereabouts. In fact, it is not right to say that there is no whereabouts, the previous Fu Yin and the current Lord Qin do not approve of this rich businessman getting this recipe, but this rich businessman does not follow it. I appealed back and forth I don't know how many times. ”

"Actually......" Li Chengxun hadn't spoken yet, and Zuo Yu pressed down again, "Brother Jiang, this case is interesting, our master once discussed this matter with us, let's not take a look, this matter will develop later." ”

Li Chengxun immediately shook his head and said in his heart, "I don't know the follow-up development of this matter?" It's me who drives the story. ”

"I don't want to go." Li Chengxun decisively refused, and then looked at the little errand officer, "I want to go to the prison, can I?" ”

The little errand immediately looked embarrassed, "This cell is filthy, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the prince and the son of Zuo." ”

Li Chengxun shook his head, "It's not filthy, it's not filthy, I've been in it for nearly a day, and now that I'm here, I guess the cell is still there, but it can give the three of us a rest." ”

Saying that, Li Chengxun got up and stretched, "After lunch, it's really easy to get sleepy." ”

He yawned as he spoke, "Why don't you two go and see it together?" ”

Zuo Yu was shocked, and said in his heart, "What kind of calm and unhurried can put life and death out of the way?" The master is really a great Chen master. ”

With the little errand leading the way, this is much faster than when Li Chengxun came in by himself in the middle of the night.

In the distance, you can see a door, and soldiers standing on either side of it.

The ground of Yin's cell in Jingzhao Mansion was much lower than the land outside, even lower than that of Chenghao, so it was very wet.

Only one or two small window openings let in the light, and the windows were open high enough that the prisoners could not reach them with their hands raised. The little bit of sky light that came in through the window hole was very faint, even at noon, it was nothing, and the rest of Jiankang had not yet darkened in the evening, and it had already become dark here.

The shackles and chains that had been used to lock prisoners away from escape were still hanging on the walls of the dungeon, rusty. There were still two gray-white bones left in the iron ring of the shackles, probably human leg bones, which showed that the prisoner was not only emaciated to death in the prison, but also tortured into a skeleton.

It's dark and damp, and it's like hell. There were endless screams and wails in my ears, and the originally warm moonlight turned into a miserable white and cold ghost. Everyone who comes in can't help but tighten their collars to resist the yin aura of the forest here.

The cowering Zuo Yan tugged at the sleeve of Li Chengxun, who was walking in front, "Brother Jiang, why don't we wait outside, it always feels like something here, my neck still feels uncomfortable, and it is tight." ”

There was another gust of yin wind drifting by, and Zuo Yu was even more afraid.

Li Chengxun turned his head, where is this Zuo Zhen is so afraid, is there really two little ghosts naughtily strangled his neck and hung on his body to play.

Li Chengxun walked to Zuo Chen's side and patted Zuo Chen's shoulder, Zuo Chen turned his head and looked at Li Chengxun strangely, but he couldn't see any difference.

Li Chengxun smiled, then turned his head slightly to glance at the back of the net, and the two ghosts looked at Li Chengxun with hideous eyes. He looked arrogant and bloodthirsty, and his body was still wrapped in black smoke, and he was quite angry.

"This ghost is no ordinary ghost." Li Chengxun wondered in his heart, "Why isn't Tu Tu here, it stands to reason that all the ghosts at the bottom of the Jingzhao Mansion are under his hands, even those who were around Gu Chengbei before to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and they have also cleaned up, so they don't dare to do so." ”
