"Lian Qingjue, you are presumptuous, we are also officials of the imperial court, how dare you send someone to arrest us here without permission?"

Inside the prison, gusts of autumn wind poured into it through the cracks in the iron windows on the wall, blowing the flames in the brazier for a while.

In one of the interrogation rooms, a man in prison uniform was tied to each of the three torture racks. Among them, there was a man who was over half a hundred years old and had gray hair, and he said angrily.

"Lord Li, you can save some effort, we haven't arrived yet."

Wang Jiahai walked around in front of the three of them with a whip in his hand, if the prisoners were so angry in the past, he would have waited for them with a whip, but these three people, the adults told them not to act rashly, that is, they couldn't beat casually, but this old man kept shouting from the moment he came in, and he really wanted to annoy people to death.

"Bah, I'm the emperor's own court official, how can you let a little jailer teach me a lesson?"

Li Wengong scolded and glared angrily at the person who was constantly dangling in front of him.

"You ......"

Wang Jiahai was furious, raised the whip and just wanted to throw it down, but suddenly remembered the order of his own adult, so he had no choice but to put away the whip and glared at Li Wengong.

"Hmph, what if even Qingjue is the director of the Duxing Division? No, you still don't dare to do anything to this official? ”

Li Wengong, who was already a little scared because Wang Jiahai raised the whip, saw that he took the whip again, so he sneered.

"Oh? Does Master Li know so much about Lian? ”

Lian Qingjue walked into the interrogation room slowly in a white dark pattern official uniform and a cloak of the same color, but he didn't want to hear such words as soon as he came in.

"Hmph, Lian Qingjue, others are afraid of you, but this official is not afraid of you, this official is a dignified servant of the Criminal Department, how can you say that you will be arrested?"

Seeing Lian Qingjue coming, Li Wengong snorted coldly and said loudly.

"Oh, the squire of the Criminal Department." Lian Qingjueyun walked to the chair on the side and sat down lightly, and said to Fan Yao who was following him as if unintentionally, "Fan Yao, where Lord Li is tied up now, who else has been tied up?" ”

"Lord Hui, Master Zhang Tingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Zhang, the head of the household department, Liu Zhongliang, Lord Liu, and the member of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Jingtang, Lord Wu have all been tied up in Lord Li's place." Fan Yao naturally knew his son-in-law's plans, so he replied very cooperatively, "Oh, there are also Lord Hailin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Master Cui Jingqi, the squire of the Ministry of War. ”

"You ......"

When Fan Yao said the name of Zhang Tingqian, the secretary of the ministry, Li Wengong already had a faint premonition, and sure enough, when the names of the people who had been officials in the same dynasty as him came out of the mouth of the person behind Lian Qingjue, Li Wengong was already afraid in his heart. He naturally knew what this place was, but he only knew what it was, he never thought that one day, he would come in here, and he was still tied up.

"What else do you have to say?"

Lian Qingjue adjusted his posture, leaned back in the chair, and asked.

"Lord Lian, you went to great lengths to arrest us here, what are you talking about?"

After thinking about the current situation, Li Wengong finally suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart and asked.

"Hehe, Lian just wants to invite a few adults to chat."

Lian Qingjue chuckled.

"Chat? Is there such a chat? ”

Beside Li Wengong, Zhang Lufeng, the head of the Criminal Department, who had been so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out because he was caught in this Duxing Division, heard Lian Qingjue's tone, and privately thought that Lian Qingjue was just bluffing to scare himself, so he whispered.

"Lord Lian, Lord Zhang, Lord Liu, they deserve to come here, but Lord Li and the three of us are not guilty, since they are not guilty, Lord Lian arrested the three of us here, I'm afraid it is not appropriate."

On the other side, Fang Zijun, a member of the Criminal Department, finally came to his senses and frowned.

"Not guilty?" Lian Qingjue looked at Fang Zijun, "Lord Fang, you have to think about it clearly." ”

"What do you mean?"

Fang Zijun stared at Lian Qingjue, who was sitting there with a smile on his face, and said.

"Fan Yao, take Master Li and Master Zhang to sit next door."

Ignoring Fang Zijun's question, Lian Qingjue closed his eyes and said.

"Yes."

Fan Yao responded, and as soon as he made a look, two guards stepped forward to untie Li Wengong and Zhang Lufeng from the torture rack, but before the two resisted, they escorted the two and walked out.

"Lord Fang, now, Master Li and Master Zhang are not here, what do you want to say?"

The door of the interrogation room closed with a bang, and Lian Qingjue slowly got up and approached Fang Zijun and said.

"What do you mean by this?"

Fang Zijun stared at Lian Qingjue tightly.

"What's the matter, Lord Fang still has to hide it for them?" Lian Qingjue chuckled, "Lord Fang is hiding it for them like this, do you know how they treat you?" ”

"Even the adults said this, Zijun couldn't understand it even more."

Fang Zijun's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Hehe, it seems that there are some things that need to be reminded by Lian Mou." Lian Qingjue stopped a few steps away from Fang Zijun, tightened his cloak, and said slowly: "Zhang Tingqian will be beheaded in a few days according to the laws of my Yu country, but his wife and daughter are not guilty to death, the emperor is benevolent, and he sent them into slavery, dare to ask, where are his wives and daughters now?" ”

"You ......"

Fang Zijun couldn't help but be shocked, at that time, Zhang Tingqian was sentenced to behead after the autumn for the crime of buying and selling official positions, and he was put in the prison of the Criminal Department, but Li Wengong and Lord Li said that he had pity on his wife and daughter innocently, so he stole the beam and changed the pillar, and privately exchanged Zhang's wife and daughter with two female prisoners, but this matter was done extremely cautiously and strictly, how could even the adults know? This is a capital offense.

"What? Did Lord Fang remember anything? Lian Qingjue said, "Your Lord Shangshu specifically told Lian that Master Fang is a virtuous talent, could it be that he has lost his eyes?" ”

"Lord Gu really looks at me like this?" Fang Zijun thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "That's it, I said, at that time, Lord Li said that he was pitiful and innocent of Zhang's wife and daughter, and he couldn't bear to make this decision to save their lives, but as for where they went later, I don't know, this thing was done by Lord Li and Master Zhang." ”

"That being the case, Lord Fang is not unrelated to this matter, but you, Lord Gu, have made a special trip to find me for you, then you will be wronged to stay in this prison for a few more days, and after a few days, you will let Lord Fang leave."

"Yes." After being untied by the jailer, Fang Zijun dragged his somewhat numb and stiff body to Lian Qingjue, waved his hands and said, "Thank you Lord Lian, and please help Lord Lian Zijun thank Master Gu." ”

"Yes."

Lian Qingjue turned around and walked out slowly, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. That Fang Zijun is quite handsome, is it because he is dedicated to the Fa-rectification that he came to him to spare his life?
