159 Beauty (1)
For seven days, the pityan stayed in the punishment house and never came out.
It's not so much that he didn't come out, but that he was imprisoned in the punishment house.
Outside the Punishment House.
The neat Imperial Forest Army guarded around the Punishment Mansion, and on weekdays, the people who came and went near the long alley did not even see a figure now.
The guards of the Ti Xing Mansion only guarded the door dutifully, and were not affected by the Imperial Forest Army in front of them.
Inside the Punishment House.
The people under his hands were not talking and laughing as usual, and they didn't dare to pant loudly when they passed by the door now.
"Old Li Tou, have you heard?" Aunt Cai carefully probed out.
Master Li happened to cut down today's firewood, looked up and said, "You will be careful of your son's head when talking nonsense." ”
Now the people of the Dongyuan Dynasty are panicking, first the prince died, and then the emperor died, and now the army is so tightly guarded, I am afraid that I dare not talk nonsense on the street.
"Who doesn't know that the Dongyuan Dynasty has changed dynasties, and King Jin is now succeeding to the throne, first killing King Jin at the speed of thunder, and then imprisoning King Sheng and King Yu, I heard that King Jing who was deposed and imprisoned by the emperor was released these days."
Aunt Cai looked at her quietly and silently, but her mouth still couldn't stop talking.
"What nonsense, I'm not afraid to flash my tongue." Master Li looked at both sides and hurriedly threw the axe in his hand to the ground.
"Hey, I said Lao Litou, King Jin and our adults can be friends, it stands to reason that our adults should be promoted and make a fortune."
Master Li panicked when he heard this, hurriedly took two steps, and stepped forward to reach out and cover Aunt Cai's mouth.
"Do you dare to say that you still don't think enough of Miss Jiang for that matter?" Master Li's hand was broken open by Aunt Cai.
"What are you talking about, Miss Jiang didn't say anything, what are you talking about?" Aunt Cai was annoyed, and her voice became a little louder, "The emperor sent people to surround the punishment mansion like this, if outsiders don't know, they think that they have imprisoned our adults." ”
"Shut your mouth!" Master Li trembled and reached out to cover her, "Let people hear it, but it's a crime to kill your head." ”
"Where did I say it wrong, now the people in the house can't get out, it's not like going to prison."
Aunt Cai knocked off Lao Li's arm with one hand, glanced at both sides, and inevitably complained in her heart: "I didn't even have a birthday for my son!" Old man Li, you can find a solution for me. ”
"Don't talk about it, it's a capital crime, and it's terrible to hear it!"
Master Li was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about anything, so he hurriedly covered Aunt Cai's mouth with all his strength.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the other side of the corridor.
"You let her speak."
In just four words, the two people in the kitchen were startled, and Master Li quickly let go of his hand and fell to his knees in a hurry: "My lord." ”
The person who came was none other than Pian Zheng and Jiang Nu.
Pian Zheng has a bad appetite these days, Jiang Nu said that she wanted to do some homely characteristics, and pulled Pian Zheng out of the study, and Pian Zheng reluctantly came out to take a look, and as soon as she walked here, she heard the dispute between these two people.
"My lord, this old fool just can't stop her mouth, and she has no malice." Master Li kowtowed twice in a row.
"Aunt Cai, did you just say that the emperor imprisoned King Yu and King Sheng? Killed the King of Jin? He asked expressionlessly.
Aunt Cai had already knelt on the ground with Master Li, and she was also panicked, "The old woman is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously...... adults"
"Nonsense? That is the sin of rumor-mongering, rumor-mongering...... Aunt Cai is going to cut her tongue. Mercy Zheng froze coldly.
"My lord, I ...... I'm not spreading rumors, but I do...... That's true. "Aunt Cai has a white face.
"If you tell the truth, then the judgment will be judged, if you say it well, not only will you forgive your capital crime, but I will reward you with real money, but if you don't tell the truth, it is a rumor, and the crime of spreading rumors about the royal family is not only cutting your tongue......"
When Lian Zheng said this, she had already paused, and it was up to Aunt Cai to think about it.
"Your Excellency...... My lord, I really didn't talk nonsense, the person who came to our house to deliver food all day long was good with me, and he was better for a while, it was him...... When he came to deliver food, he told me the news from outside, and there was no deception. ”
Aunt Cai put aside Master Li, quietly tugged her hand, and climbed forward two steps.
"He said that the emperor has succeeded to the throne, before the funeral of the first emperor, he ordered a thorough investigation of the funeral of Xi Guifei and the six princes, and now Xi Guifei and the six princes have gone with the emperor, buried together in the imperial mausoleum, and slept with the emperor, the Queen Mother has agreed!"
Aunt Cai was afraid that Master Li would rob her of her reward, so she hurriedly grabbed the words, she didn't lie at all, so she naturally wanted to be rewarded.
"The emperor also ordered a thorough investigation of the case of the poisoning of Concubine Xi and the six princes, and found the charges on Yang Shufei, the charges have been announced to the world, the King of Jin and the Liao people over there have colluded, and the five horses have been divided for treason, and Yang Shufei also committed suicide in the cold palace Bai Aya."
"Although King Yu is not subordinate, the emperor did not kill him directly, but first ordered the reduction of the title and the abolition of the throne, and finally heard that King Yu and King Sheng were imprisoned together."
Pian Zheng asked softly, "Good and dignified, why did Concubine Xi die?" ”
Aunt Cai thought about it and hurriedly added.
"Back to my lord's words, on the day of the emperor's funeral, Xi Guifei mourned and begged for death, hit her head on the coffin and died, and then died, and the emperor also added the title and gave it to the honorable emperor and concubine, but she was not buried in the imperial mausoleum with the first emperor, but buried in the concubine's mausoleum."
Concubine Xi not only showed no signs of poisoning that day, but seemed to be completely fine.
Concubine Xi personally ordered someone to send her out of the palace, and such a big battle imprisoned her in the Punishment Mansion.
It is impossible to die on the same day, I am afraid that there are a lot of things hidden here.
"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Pian Zheng lowered his head and smiled slightly, "Everyone who should know knows." ”
"The old woman is from the adult's house, thanks to the adult's dislike, it is the blessing of the old woman to be able to serve the adult."
Aunt Cai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then slowly raised her eyes and glanced at the pitiful kite, "My lord, is the old woman's answer satisfactory?" ”
The mind drifted back, and he said slowly: "If you are so capable, I really can't keep you." ”
Aunt Cai's eyes widened, "Big ...... Adult ......"
"I just said that if you say well, you should be rewarded, so I will reward you with some soft and silver money."
After saying that, he frowned again and looked at Master Li: "What happened to you saying that she offended Miss Jiang?" ”
Master Li was stunned, sighed in his heart, glanced at Aunt Cai, and was already panicked.
"I ...... As I said, adults forgive sins, and adults spare their lives......"
"Since this is the case, then you will send people away, no matter how you offend Miss Jiang, you will be punished."
Lian Zheng glanced at it lightly, "Although you have been rewarded, I will never let people bully the people in my house, so I also received the cane and then left the house, this bad guy let him do it, and naturally it saves me from letting anyone in my house be a bad guy again." ”
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" Aunt Cai desperately tried to hold back the panic in her heart.
Although the money for the errand of the Criminal Punishment House is not more than that outside, there is not much to do in a day, and there is also face and identity when it is said.
This sentence lord often stays in the house, except for cooking, washing and washing vegetables, she doesn't have to do much work a day.
Such a good errand, she really can't bear it.
"Jiang Nu didn't say anything, so you guys kicked your nose and face? Although I am easy to speak, I will not let people turn against the guest and bully him, since you were also a person in my house, you should know that the people in my house are not like this and let people bully people for no reason! How did you bully Jiang Nu, she didn't say that I naturally didn't ask, but I can't let you go like this, come on! ”
The pityan scolded coldly, and two guards entered outside.
"Let the account room calculate the money, give more rewards, and scold ten sticks, and then blast people out for me."
"Zheng'er, for now, let's keep it for now!" Jiang Nu carefully tugged at the cuffs of the kite.
"The cane is also kept first, and those people outside the door are afraid that they won't let her out, so they will dissipate their anger first, and I won't get in the way."
Jiang Nu is right, and those Imperial Forest Soldiers outside the door are afraid that they will not let the people in her house go out casually.
"Lock it up first." Pian Zheng was even more annoyed in his heart, but he only glanced at it lightly, and then turned around and went back to the study.
These days, Pian Zheng stays in the study and studies the head, not paying any attention to the things outside the house.
Hearing this, these killers decisively disposed of all the people, leaving no way back and no risk. She didn't think that after Feng Yin ascended the throne, his decisive style of doing things was not like the cynical young man in the past.
Also, the emperor naturally has to be gracious and powerful, if these emperors' mental tricks are not, how can they sit on the throne?
Thinking of this, Pian Zheng was even more depressed.
"Jiang Hong?" Pian Zheng walked to the door of the study, but unexpectedly saw someone else.
"See your Excellency." Jiang Hong simply saluted and got up, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Weichen is here to find an adult, for this matter." ”
Pian Zheng frowned and looked at a person who was following behind Jiang Hong.
As if sensing the sight of the kite, he carefully raised his head and glanced back.
This person is not someone else, it is Xiao Beigu!
Xiao Beigu was holding a wooden plate in his hand, covered with a brocade cloth, and he couldn't see what was inside.
Although I didn't see the things inside, the brocade cloth was bloody, and I knew that this plate must be carrying a human head.
Like the human head that Thirteen was studying in the study, it had been cut off!
While welcoming Jiang Hong and Xiao Beigu into the study, Lian Zheng suddenly remembered something, she quickly turned around and asked, "Deputy Envoy Jiang, how did you bring Xiao Beigu in?" ”
When he asked this, Jiang Hong suddenly stopped his steps and stood there a little embarrassed.
"I'll say that." Xiao Beigu turned around.
"Now that the new emperor is in power, he has abolished your position as a punishment envoy, but now that Deputy Envoy Jiang has been promoted to the new punishment envoy, he can enter the punishment mansion, and all the royal forest troops outside the palace have been withdrawn, and you will be able to enter and exit freely from today onwards."
There was no surprise in Pian Zheng, but it was Deputy Envoy Jiang who was embarrassed.
Jiang Hong hurriedly said: "The subordinates know that they are not as good as adults, but the emperor has made a will, although I shirk it, the emperor is ......."
"No, Lord Jiang, your ability will not be inferior to that of the Zheng, I just ask Lord Jiang for something, can you leave this study to me first, because there are still many heads in it that have not yet recovered their faces, just wait for the next day, I will solve this case, and it will be handed over to the Lord as it is."
Lian Zheng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the study, and pointed the head inside to Jiang Hong.
Where did he dare to let Lian Zheng move the study, the emperor only ordered her name to be replaced by his, but privately implied that this was just to protect Lian Zheng from the control of the Qin family.
Jiang Hong was shocked and hurriedly explained.
"My lord has promoted my subordinates, I don't plan to move in, you just have to live in peace."
Jiang Hong smiled bitterly, if he really let the pityan Zheng move, he was afraid that the head of Xiang Shangshang would not be guaranteed at this moment.
Jiang Hong subconsciously glanced into the room, and was stunned after just one glance.
The walls of human heads, like a shelf full of wine jars, ten in a row, are dozens of rows.
Densely packed with human faces, some of them are just skulls, and when you look closely, those human faces above seem to be like clay figures, each divided into half, which is extremely spectacular.
"This ...... This is? Jiang Hong's heart trembled at a glance.
If you are a bystander, you will have nightmares for several nights when you see a corpse, and those of them who often deal with corpses have never seen so many heads at one time.
"Lord Jiang, have you heard of the Golden Pig Reward God case?" Pian Zheng went into the study alone.
Jiang Hong nodded, and Ne followed, "I've heard, I heard that some people feed people with golden pigs, and then give people food." ”
"That's right, these are the ones who feed the golden pigs."
Seeing that Pian Zheng entered the door, Thirteen had just finished the head in his hand and was resting on the table, waiting for Pian Zheng to come to judge.
He reached out and took the man's head, trimmed some minor imperfections, and then put them on the shelf.
In just a few days, Thirteen was able to do this to such an extent, which was excellent.
Naturally, he was not too harsh.
"Then dare to ask, I don't know who asked the head of the person who sent it that day......"
Jiang Hong glanced at the head in Xiao Beigu's hand, and Xiao Beigu put it on the table and lifted the covered brocade cloth.
Pian Zheng raised his eyes to look at Jiang Hong, and said lightly: "This head is coming for me." ”
