There are poems: There are so many fierce people in Chang'an, and there are twenty-six heavenly hell dungeons. If you want to ask your brother why he came, hide his face and lie in the grass.

Chang'an Prison is all over the place, there are different kinds, there are Imperial Commander's Prison, the county and county mansion prison, as well as the court and the violent room where the female prisoners are kept in captivity, the silkworm room where the prisoners are punished, the Northern Army Prison and the living room where the generals and their subordinates are imprisoned, the tiger's den that lives underground, etc., the big prison is heavily guarded, the town gate is fierce, it makes people shudder, the small prison is like twilight, gloomy and gloomy, and the sound of wailing is often heard.

Liu Che has been restless every day since the queen killed herself and the prince fled, thinking that his own son actually raised troops to rebel, he felt infinite resentment, and Mrs. Gou Yi, Su Wen and others added fuel and vinegar, which was even more uneasy. But now that the prince and the prince have fled, died, and been imprisoned, the trees have fallen, and the birds and beasts have scattered, and I feel pain and regret in my heart. "That's my own son, he is pure-hearted, how could he suddenly rebel?" This thought is repeated in your mind several times a day.

There is also Zongzheng Liu Changle's last words only mentioning the emperor's great-grandson, and not saying a word to justify himself, which makes people feel that the matter of witchcraft is confusing, but the holy will is like an arrow, how can it be said that it will be changed, and it will be more convenient?

"Stop howling, stop howling, and don't let people sleep!" In the damp wooden prison of the county prison, a short and stout woman finally couldn't bear the intermittent crying of the baby in the same room, and grabbed a handful of wheat straw from under her and threw it at the baby, the wheat straw floated on the baby's face, and the baby's cry became louder, and several other people were either indifferent or scolded the woman.

The woman slapped the ground angrily and said, "Little ancestor, your life is short, let's live for two more days!" The baby seemed to understand, and gradually fell silent. The woman saw that this baby, who was said to be the great-grandson of the emperor, had only been here for two days and had a yellow and thin face, a head full of prickly heat, deep eye sockets, completely out of shape, swaddling clothes were also covered with a lot of mud, feces and urine were stained with water and moire belly pockets, the buttocks were red, the weather was hot, the air was unpleasant, and there was only a bronze mirror on the neck of the hand, which looked very exquisite.

"Ah, what iniquity have you created?" The woman could not bear it, so she wiped the sweat from the baby's head with her rotten sleeve, grabbed a few handfuls of dry wheat straw under his buttocks, and said to herself, "Let's all die decently." ”

At this time, a jailer suddenly came over and shouted: "Get up, get up, and line up at the second gate!" ”

When the woman heard this, her face was as dead as ashes: "It seems that today is really going to die......

"What is the death, it's not your turn to die, it's the new court lieutenant who wants to inspect the prisoners, you all cheer me up, don't kill people today!" The jailer said fiercely.

After a long time, surrounded by a group of jailers, a short, thin official came slowly, frowning as he walked and listened to the jailer next to him read the roster and his family registration. I saw that he was wearing a hedgehog crown on his head, wearing a purple gift on his waist, hanging a tiger's head sac, very majestic, and then looking at his face, his beard was sparse, his face was kind, and he looked at it like a spring breeze.

"Most of these prisoners are small families, and they have been implicated in witchcraft, and the court's punishment for them has not yet been decided, so they must be treated kindly." The Imperial Lieutenant said slowly.

"Of course, of course, what the court lieutenant said is very true." Both left and right echoed the words.

When the prisoners heard this, they all knelt down with their arms in their arms, and said one after another: "Captain Xie Ting, Captain Xie Ting." ”

This man is the new court lieutenant Bingji. When Bingji bent down to call them up, he suddenly saw the last short and fat woman in the group holding a very thin baby, sloppy and dazed, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and followed closely to the left and right.

"Is this your child? How hungry you are like this! Bingji saw that the baby's face was yellow and thin, but the woman was very thick, and couldn't help but cry angrily.

When the short and fat woman heard this, she thought to herself that this new official might be able to live a good life if she looked at her face and greeted her well. Then he knelt down and said in a low voice: "Go back to the court and the eunuch, this is not the child of the people's daughter, the people's daughter is still a yellow flower girl, the people's daughter is called Fu Ze, the poor family can't open the pot, the uncle found me a rough maid's job in the young Fu Shide's house, and after half a year's full meal, I was arrested, the people's daughter was wronged!" The woman began to weep.

When Bingji heard this, he stopped looking at her, turned to the prison and said, "Whose child is this?" ”

When the prison man heard this, he didn't know what to do. At this time, a small official who followed behind Bingji said: "Our court lieutenant is the most fair and good person, and it doesn't hurt to say anything about it." ”

After hearing this, the prison man lowered his head and whispered to Bingji: "This baby is Liu Ju's grandson, a few days ago, Gonggong Su sent a decree to kill Liu Ju's relatives, he didn't know that Liu Ju also had a little grandson, so he fell, we don't know what to do!" Lord Tingwei, it is really not that we deliberately cover up, but indeed negligent, because he is not in the register. ”

When Bingji heard this, he was not shocked, Prince Wei still has descendants here! When he was the first time he was the court lieutenant, he had a few meetings with the prince, the prince was loyal and benevolent, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and now he was designed by the villain, it is said that the whole family has died, and the injustice of the ages is not for this! Even Empress Wei, who has a good reputation in the world, was forced to die, sad! It's a pity! Angry!

"It's nonsense, the first prince and the clan were wiped out, how could there be a baby here, this must be the illegal son of a prisoner, Tian Zun ......" Bingji said to the personal official behind him: "Take this child outside to discuss first." If anyone dares to say that this baby is the descendant of Prince Wei, he will be punished with twenty rods! Come, some of you in charge. Pay the rules, and you will come with you. ”

The jailers didn't know what was going on, so they had to kowtow again and again.

The county prison does not have a special residence, only a row of chambers for the jailers and jailers to rest. Under the guidance of the prison officer, the group arrived at a relatively spacious and quiet empty house, which was poorly furnished and had few household belongings.

"No matter who the child is, it is really pitiful to be a prisoner at such a young age." Bingji did not avoid filth, gently took the baby from Fu Ze's hand, stared at the baby with pity in his eyes, and said: "You put a few beds here, get some clean bedding, the county mansion prison has the largest number of people in the twenty-six prisons in Chang'an, and the trial task is too heavy, as long as Lord Tingwei has no special orders, this official will come here every day in the future." Also, the cell is damp, and the baby is kept in my room, and no one is allowed to disturb him without reason. Do you know if there is a woman in prison who has milk? ”

"Yes, yes." A jailer saw the thoughts of the court lieutenant and said: "One is Zhao Zhengqing from Huaiyang, and the other is Hu Group from Weicheng, who were originally nursing their children in their own homes, but they were all honestly ruthless, or I asked them to come over now?" ”

"Okay, please take a run." The court lieutenant was overjoyed, but he did not show his face, and this time the baby's nursing matter was solved.

Not long after, two women came to see them, and although their clothes were shabby, they were also good-looking. The court lieutenant and the eunuch explained in detail to the two. The two were grateful to Dade and hurriedly agreed.

It turned out that both of them were nurses of rich and noble families, and they thought they had a good job, but they didn't expect to come to this place where they didn't see the light of day. Today, I was photographed by the official master, I don't have to do hard labor, I can also open a small stove, and I can still nurse my child every day, can I not be happy? Look at this child again, it is really pitiful, the two of them are with children, they are kind-hearted, and they show pity for children.

The court lieutenant hurriedly summoned everyone, leaving only the two and the baby indoors, and the two understood. Due to improper diet, Zhao Zhengqing has no milk these days, Hu Group first undressed and fed the baby, the baby was very hungry, scratched for a long time, desperately sucked, Hu Group also because of uneven hunger, not much milk, although it hurt a little, but the baby was regarded as his own child, silently endured. At this time, Fu Ze followed the jailer to get a basin of water from the room. When the baby was full, Zhao Zhengqing gently took it, lay on his shoulder, and patted it lightly for a while, and a full burp made the three women who had not laughed for a long time smile. Fu Ze was vulgar and wanted to use a piece of rotten cloth to help the baby rub his body, so Tian Zun had already found a clean cotton handkerchief from his sleeve.

"The water is too cold, and you can't use cold water on a hot day, and then go to the guy to boil some hot water." Bingji said strangely. Fu was helpless, so he had to change the water again.

Hu Group untied the swaddling clothes, and the baby revealed its wet belly pocket, which was embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon, with fine stitches and lifelike, and it had the power to soar into the air. Bingji hurriedly said: "This belly pocket is dirty, give it to me, I'll ask someone to find a new one, and this bronze mirror, the prison is mixed with people, and it's easy to lose, give it to me too." The court lieutenant took it lightly and carefully placed it in his arms.

In this way, the baby has a "home". While Bingji took out his salary to support the baby and the two nursing mothers, he carefully checked the records of the imprisoned prince's family, and asked Tian Zun to follow the records to secretly investigate. At the same time, under the pretext of investigating the case, he privately visited Zongzheng Liu De, who counted the genealogical relationship of Liu Yi's lineage, and said that there was a grandson who had not yet been naturalized.

"Oh, it's a pity, such a young baby also died." Bingji said with a sad expression.

"Yes, the queen also gave him a talisman, but it doesn't work." Liu De couldn't figure out the true purpose of Bingji's trip, and endured the sad thoughts in his heart.

"Oh? Our elders in the village will also give amulets to newborn babies, but they are just some peach swords and the like. Xia Guan has never seen the world, so the talisman in the palace must be very ordinary. Bingji held back the excitement in his heart and said expressionlessly.

Liu Deben was a loyal person, and his scheming was shallow, so he said: "Most of the talismans in the palace are finely carved Khotanese jade, but what the queen gave was a quick poison treasure mirror, which is said to have a Western saint on it, and the wearer can be safe, and the old man has never seen it." ”

"Oh, it seems like a rarity. Lord Zongzheng, there is a lot of disturbance today, and when these cases are understood, I will ask the adults for advice on this way of dealing with the world. Bingji humbly stood up and took his leave.

"Lord C is generous and benevolent, and his talents are outstanding, and he will definitely soar in the future, and I hope that he will be able to be lenient and secure in the future." Liu De suddenly got up and said.

Bingji was taken aback, thought for a moment and said: "Thanks to the love of the lord, the lower officials will do their best to live up to the grace of heaven!" ”
