Chapter 456: Lai Junchen
Although King Jing, the second princess, is at the border, there are two side kings and housekeepers in the palace and the inner and outer mansions, as well as guards, male slaves, maidservants, etc., so they are also secretly investigated. The one who investigated the spies in King Jing's Mansion was Mulan Xin, the left subordinate of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Shang Shu's right subordinates and Cheng Jinghu, director of the Criminal Department, and others secretly inspected the mansions of major high-ranking officials at the same time.
When the two side monarchs of King Jing's Mansion heard that they were going to investigate the thieves in the spies, their faces turned white, for fear that they would affect His Royal Highness and the entire palace, so they denied it again and again, and used the authority of His Royal Highness the General to exert pressure, until Mulan Xin explained gently and patiently, they no longer stopped blocking it, and at the same time they were a little scared, but asked her to investigate carefully.
In order to prevent leakage of rumors and startle snakes, even if it is a secret investigation, all parties are carried out at the same time. It's just that, under such vigorous and resolute cooperation, in addition to the gains made by King Xian's Mansion, King Jing's Mansion and other high-ranking officials' mansions have not been able to find out a single person!
This kind of result made everyone who met very uncomfortable, and the eyes that looked at Lin Daiyu also changed, in addition to a trace of admiration and a little doubt, there was more or less hostility in his eyes. It's not just because she's the only one who has the catch, it's also because she's the fastest.
But fortunately, although she returned to the yamen first, she did not go to the palace with Lord Pan of Zhizhou, who promoted her, to report and receive merit alone.
Lin Daiyu looked at the people with different faces, smiled slightly, and said concisely: "I just assisted you adults in handling the case, and the credit lies in the Criminal Department." ”
Quite sensible! Everyone suddenly lost their faces, but the petite Cheng Jinghu waved his little hand and said lightly: "Present the list to the emperor first, the credit is yours and yours." ”
The faces of the people below changed again: Yes, she checked so fast, if it was because of her earnestness for meritorious service, and she made a mistake in her busyness, wouldn't it be that not only could she not follow her to make merit, but would she be condemned by the emperor together? If that's the case, it's not worth it......
Thinking of this, everyone immediately patted Sima Fart, echoed Cheng Jinghu, and agreed to submit the name of the spy first, and said that the credit was not credit.
Lin Daiyu sneered in his heart, but there was no show on his face, they were all in charge.
Cheng Jinghu handed over the matter to the Ministry of Punishment, and then took Lin Daiyu into the palace quickly. This is the third time Lin Daiyu has seen Tianyan, so he is not as nervous as when he first saw the driver. As soon as Dongfang Ling Tian asked, she was extremely sure that woman was sent by the Blood Prison Palace.
Dongfang Ling Tian said: "What evidence is there?" ”
Lin Daiyu was cheating this time, where is there any evidence, he only said: "The minister is willing to guarantee with his life!" ”
Cheng Jinghu turned his head slightly in surprise and glanced at her, even if he was wrong, the big deal was to lose his position, why gamble with his life?
But Lin Daiyu was extremely calm, because she believed in Chu Han.
Those two red-robed people who are currently dying are middle-level Tianxuan, and being able to take them down at the same time shows that Chu Han is undoubtedly a high-level Tianxuan.
Since she said that she would let her ask questions at will, then Chu Han must have been in the palace at the time, watching and listening not far from her, not to mention that because she had already interrogated the two red-robed people, and had already sneaked into the palace to find out everything, so she could tell herself so sure that the staff member who was appointed by Xian * was the person sent by the Blood Prison Palace!
Seeing that she was so determined, Dongfang Ling Tian stared at her lowered head and said, "Lin Daiyu, if there is a mistake, do you know the weight and serious consequences of this sentence?" ”
Lin Daiyu insisted: "The minister dares to conclude that this person must be a spy, and his martial arts are not under Tianxuan!" The minister asked the emperor to send a master to secretly arrest him as soon as possible, the sooner the better, so as not to detect something and be unfavorable to His Royal Highness King Xian! ”
After speaking, she leaned to the ground, Dongfang Ling Tian didn't speak, she couldn't afford it.
Dongfang Ling Tian turned to Cheng Jinghu: "Cheng Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Cheng Jinghu immediately said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen can't be determined, because everyone is acting separately, and the Xianwang Mansion is under the secret investigation of Lord Lin." ”
Dongfang Ling Tian's heart quickly understood, but his face remained unchanged: "Yihao, just take this opportunity to see how the people taught by the six elders are doing." ”
Yi Hao, who was standing with the personal female officials on the left and right, immediately responded to the order, went to the Huangwei Tower to pass on the emperor's edict, and took Gu Qinglan of the Lanqin Sword Sect, Li Youzhen of the Huangfu Sword Sect and other six elders to personally teach martial arts and carefully cultivated people out of the building for trial.
At the beginning, Chu Han didn't see any agreement between Cheng Jinghu and the head of Lan Qin because of the appearance of Elder Cha and Shu Liao, but now it is clear. It turned out that the agreement reached between the two sides was that as long as the six elders were willing to go to Huangwei Tower to teach merits for three years and cultivate talents for the royal family, the six major sword sects could have a quota for entering the court as officials, and other things, no matter who was right or wrong, would be written off.
No wonder Cheng Jinghu and the others were so bold at that time, and they went to Lanqin Mountain leisurely without a single entourage, and they were sure that they would agree to this deal.
You must know that although there is no explicit provision in the imperial court law that martial arts people have no right to participate in the imperial examination, if people from various sects really participate, they will be dived down, and they will have no hope of officialdom in their lives.
Why? Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, the head and elders have high martial arts, and there are many disciples, and they have power in their hands, so what is it?
The imperial court is guarding against martial arts people from making trouble all year round, ready to suppress them at any time, and even when their strength is too strong, they will try their best to weaken it, how can it be possible to delegate power to them?
However, Dongfang Ling Tian changed the way of acting in the previous dynasty and decided to change suppression to exploitation.
Once they enter the court as officials, understand the law of the country, and are exposed to the influence of officials in the audience, over time, they will naturally be willing to be driven by the court and willing to be bound and restricted by the law, especially after being an official addiction, even if you want to drive her, she will desperately try to keep her status.
Power, honor, official authority in front of people, and subordinates...... Whoever has had all this will never want to lose it again.
In fact, the disdain of the officialdom of the various major parties is actually part of the psychology and meaning of saying that grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes. The opportunity is really coming, the emperor gave it, which one will let it go?
Young warriors may really disdain the government because of their lack of social experience, but which of the elderly leaders and elders does not know the countless benefits of power? So when Cheng Jinghu negotiated with them on behalf of the imperial court, the opinions were quickly agreed.
This kind of thing is not the turn of juniors to participate, even if there are a few rebellious and disobedient descendants, who do not know about it on the day of the discussion, they cannot oppose and obstruct it.
And just when Cheng Jinghu and Lin Daiyu entered the palace, there was a person in the criminal department who walked towards the prison, her eyes were cold and stiff. It's like a dead sheep's eye after slaughter. This woman is the ~~ Lai Junchen that Chu Han had heard of~~ Lai Junchen.
"These two dead perverts who laughed and screamed as soon as they were tortured, since they can confess in front of that soil bun in Liuhe County, I don't believe that we came to our Kyoto Criminal Department, but I can't pry their mouths open!" As she walked, she whispered angrily, "There's no reason to lose to an outsider!" ”
She didn't know that when the two red-robed people were sent to Lin Daiyu, they had already been forcibly fed small pills that caused muteness, which were made from earwax and the grass root juice of silent grass, and once they took it, they could only scream and couldn't speak.
However, they were masochists who were happy to be tortured, which was much Chu Han's surprise, and this special habit was the first time she had seen it.
"Sisters, get those two dead perverts out and say hello!" Lai Junchen commanded as he walked towards the execution chamber.
Several jailers immediately ran to the darkest and dampest cell inside to drag the people, and when they saw that the two of them were about to die with their eyes closed, they only kicked them and did not dare to touch them again, for fear that they would die in their own hands, and they would not be able to explain to them.
The red robes on the two of them had been whipped to shreds, and one by one they showed their teeth and grinning flesh, ugly, terrifying, and disgusting to the point of vomiting. Because the whip was later changed to soaked in chili water, those red blood stains were also mixed in.
Dragged the two into the torture chamber like a dead dog, Lai Junchen squatted down and patted one of them on the face: "You enjoy the torture, don't you?" Okay, today I will fulfill you, give you some new tricks, and let you taste the wonderful and infinite coolness! ”
Then she whispered a few words to one of the jailers, who ran away quickly, and in a short time brought back two wooden wedges with sharpened ends. Lai Junchen dangled the wooden wedge in front of the two of them, with a cruel smile on his face: "You say, if you nail the wooden wedge into your thigh, what will it be like?" ”
