Jin Shan, who had housed a large number of prisoners, was a little wrong no matter how he thought about it, so he paced back and forth in his study several times, and finally took the key to see the situation.

When I reached the door of the prison, I saw a large number of people grabbing the railing and pleading with Jinshan, "My lord, we are all wronged, and we have nothing to do with this." ”

"It doesn't matter, then what did Lord Zhao do when he arrested you in, could he, as your parent official, still do it if he doesn't like anyone?" Jin Shan is no longer dissatisfied with Zhao Ming, and in front of outsiders, he still has to pretend to be a fake of harmony between ministers.

"The little ones don't know either, I don't know who stuffed such a bag of things in my arms, and Lord Zhao asked someone to arrest us." The person who spoke also reached out to his waist, but forgot that the thing had already been taken away by Zhao Ming when he was caught.

"It is said that if we enter the gate of the Criminal Department, we have to shed our skin if we don't die, so we shouldn't be tortured, right?" There was a noisy sound in front, but Jin Shan still heard the whispers of those people at the back through the human voice.

"Don't think nonsense, if it really doesn't matter, when the time comes, the official will naturally let you out." The people here are mixed, and the smell of sweat on their bodies is mixed with the smell of each person's different body odor, and the smoked Jinshan is a little confused in front of him.

He took a few steps back and covered the lower half of his face with his sleeve, "This half of the cell where you stay is a place for prisoners who don't need to be tortured by the Criminal Department, so you can rest assured." ”

"This official and Lord Zhao are not the kind of fierce and vicious people, and naturally they will not careless of human life, but this matter is indeed very involved, in order to prevent you from talking nonsense outside, you can stay here with peace of mind."

After Jin Shan was appeased, he didn't care whether the people in this prison could accept it or not, he couldn't stand the smell at first, so he hurriedly left first, only to hear the people in the cells behind him wailing.

Su Jingye investigated privately, and it was difficult to have any eyebrows, so he found Master Jingzhao Yin Zhao and wanted to ask him how many prisoners he interrogated, but he learned that there was no one in the Yamen prison at all.

"I'm sorry Lord Wang, these people, I just sent them to the Criminal Department yesterday." Zhao Ming was reading the dossier when he heard that Su Jingye was coming, so frightened that he hurriedly threw down all the things in his hand.

I wanted to ask my subordinates to hide the situation in the prison in a hurry, but who knew that Su Jing came quickly at night, and he had already looked at the cell, so Zhao Ming had to tell him.

"Your prison is empty, why are you bringing people to the Criminal Department?" Su Jingye stepped into the door frame and saw Zhao Ming in a hurry, scattering papers everywhere and scattering files.

Zhao Ming didn't have time to clean up, stepped over the paper in a few steps, walked in front of Su Jingye, and said with a smile: "The people arrested by the lower officials, their charges have not yet been determined, and the lower officials are not too harsh on them." ”

"The prince also saw that my cell here is really simple, there has been no funding for repairs, and the people who guard the cell are also negligent, if they spread the word and say that we are abusing innocent suspects, wouldn't it be a discredit to the court."

You used to arrest people on the street at random, but now you are concerned about the face of the court. Su Jingye sneered in his heart, Zhao Ming saw that the expression on his face did not change at all, and he didn't know how he felt when he heard it.

"This prison of the Criminal Department, but the money is sufficient, and the lower officials have specially selected a few of the best cells for them, and when it comes to it, they may prefer to stay there."

This is obviously not to take responsibility for himself, so he specially found a share. Looking at Zhao Ming, who was constantly smiling and flattering at him, Su Jingye felt a burst of disdain in his heart.

It's just curious how Zhao Ming could come up with this method, and dare to have the courage to calculate it on the head of the criminal department.

Zhao Ming asked his subordinates to make tea, and held it in front of Su Jingye with his own hands. He tried so hard to please himself, but he just hoped that he wouldn't talk about it.

However, Su Jingye is also a little too busy to take care of himself now, so naturally there is no need to make a big deal about this trivial matter. He glanced at Zhao Ming lightly, holding the teacup but not entering the mouth.

"In that case, then the king will go directly to the criminal department Shangshu, and Lord Zhao will be busy with your own affairs."

"Thank you for your compassion, and the lower officials will send you to the prince." Su Jingye didn't accept his affection, but Zhao Ming didn't care, he was just happy, and finally sent this plague god away.

If Su Jingye continued to ask the reason, Zhao Ming was really not sure if he would accidentally confess to Master Li.

Su Jingye didn't know that she had unconsciously missed one of Li Daren's handles, and she went directly to the Criminal Department after leaving the yamen of the capital. And the capital is peaceful these days, and the criminal department has nothing to do, Jin Shan is sitting in his study at this time, busy with the excerpts that need to be presented every day.

It was still early, the warm sunlight in the morning was shining on people, and the officials of the Smoked Criminal Department wanted to doze off when they were standing, but they didn't even notice that Su Jing came over at night.

Walking to the study as if no one was around, Jin Shan just put down the last word in his hand, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Su Jingye walking in front of him.

"It turned out to be King Jing's driver, and he was disappointed." Jin Shan dropped his pen and hurriedly greeted him, giving him the tea on his bookcase and putting it on the table, while reprimanding the sleepy little officials outside.

"What kind of dozing off early in the morning, I didn't even report when the prince came, and I won't punish you well in the future."

"Lord Jin is not busy first, this king came this time to invite the adults to inquire about the prisoners sent by Lord Zhao yesterday." In this life, when the tea was delivered to him, Su Jingye hurriedly waved his hand, and he didn't sit down, just stood and talked.

"If you are here, the lower official will take the prince over." Jin Shan put down the teacup with a light smile, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and took Su Jingye to the cell together.

The few people in charge of guarding the door of the cell were still sleeping at this time, and Jin Shan saw that his face was a little gloomy.

"Did you go as a thief last night, why are you dozing off one by one today, and you still can't wake up?" Jin Shan angrily kicked the two jailers' stools. The two stood up in a daze, and although they were conscious, their bodies still couldn't hold on.

One of them wiped the corners of his eyes while explaining vaguely, "If you go back to your lordship, the people who came to change shifts during the day today haven't come yet, so the two of us have to wait here, so we have no choice but to fall asleep." ”

The jailer in charge of guarding the prison has a prescribed shift change time every day, originally after so many years, it has always been in order, and I don't want Su Jingye to come over rarely, so many mistakes have been discovered.

Su Jingye patted Jin Shan on the shoulder, "Lord Jin, it seems that it's time for your criminal department to rectify it." ”

"It was the dereliction of duty of the lower officials that made the prince smile." Jin Shan's face smiled very stiffly, and he glanced at the sleeping two helplessly, "Okay, since the shift change hasn't come, you can temporarily take over and take us to the cells in the south." ”

"Yes." Before he could say a word, the jailer yawned again. He staggered in front of Su Jingye and the others, carrying a large string of jingling keys in his hand.

After walking to the place, the jailer didn't open his eyes, and was about to take the key to open the door, but fortunately Jinshan stopped him in time. Su Jingye looked at the scene in front of him, and he was speechless for a long time in surprise.

It turned out that Zhao Ming had chosen two cells to separate the prisoners, but now all the prisoners in one cell died violently, and the other one has been trembling with fear.

These people were not extremely vicious gangsters, at most they were scoundrels in the market, and they would inevitably be afraid when they suddenly saw so many people dying in front of their eyes.

"This, what's going on?" Jin Shan was shocked, and asked the jailer angrily, and the jailer was now sleepy, and he was scared to wake up.

"I don't know if it's a little one, it was fine last night, why is it today?"

Su Jingye frowned, and when she saw that the survivors in the other cell were all huddled in the corner, and they didn't dare to come out, she squatted down and tried her best to talk to them in a calm tone.

"You've been here with them, but what happened last night?"

"My lord, spare our lives, we really don't know anything. We will say whatever you want us to say, and we just ask you to spare our lives. Hearing this, this group of people knelt on the ground one after another and kept kowtowing to Su Jingye.

Su Jingye and Jin Shan glanced at each other and continued to ask, "As long as you tell everything you see, this king can promise you that he will never kill innocents indiscriminately and disregard human life." ”

"Are you the prince?" A thin man in the cell took the lead, and Su Jingye felt that this was a good sign, maybe he could really inquire about something, so he nodded.

For a while, the people in this cell were noisy, as if they were arguing about whether Su Jingye was credible. In order to increase the trust of these people in himself, Su Jingye said one more sentence, "This king is Su Jingye, and he is also the younger brother of His Majesty today, you can believe what this king said." ”

Hearing this, the thin man overrode the public opinion and knelt in front of Su Jingye, "The grass people only ask the prince to thoroughly investigate this criminal department, and they don't treat us as human beings." ”

Jin Shan was about to refute when he was stopped by Su Jingye, who continued, "Yesterday, we all saw with our own eyes that the cell boss brought us two different meals to the cell next door,"

"At that time, all of us were still complaining there, we were all prisoners, why they ate so well, who knows that it was a severed meal."

When the words fell, another person continued, "That is, when I was in the Yamen of the capital, although I didn't live well, we were still alive." ”

"But when we got here, the people from the Criminal Department wanted to deal with us, and they actually poisoned the food, so that they could use such indiscriminate methods."
