He closed his eyes slightly, as if he had not heard, and after a while, he asked her again, "What else?" ”

Song Ran said: "No." ”

"There is still half an hour until the Tingwei Division, Miss Song had better think about it."

She had to tell the story of Zhong Bo bribing the investigators of the Imperial Health Division with two taels of gold. After speaking, he looked at Shen Hanxi, but he still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, unmoved by her words.

In this silent atmosphere, Song Ran always had a string in his heart, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and spoke cautiously: "My lord, according to the "Dajing Law", tolerate criminals, report the news, and cause criminals to abscond, they will be sentenced to forty canes and a fine of fifty yuan, but those who surrender before being sent to the official should be punished by one degree. ”

After saying this, she laughed at herself in her heart and thought that she actually talked about the "Great Jing Law" with the fierce and murderous commander of the Imperial Health Division, because she was afraid that she would not die miserably. However, when a dead horse became a live horse doctor, she had no choice but to let it go, and said, "Now that the folk girl has confessed to you before she arrives at the official mansion, you can be kind and let the folk girl go." ”

If it were another girl, it is estimated that she would have been frightened and cried and begged him for mercy, but she was calm and even moved out of "Dajing Law". However, this poor Baba's resistance could only be exchanged for a mocking smile: "After the East Window incident, I thought of confessing, don't you think it's too late?" ”

After laughing at her, he continued to close his eyes and recuperate, not ready to pay attention to her anymore.

Song Ran called him tentatively: "My lord? ”

He still ignored her. She thought about it for a while, and said cheekily: "My lord, you are a noble person who forgets things, look at me again, is it very familiar?" I paid for your wonton at the restaurant on Warong Street, have you forgotten? ”

This remark finally made him unable to ignore her anymore, and he couldn't help but hold up his eyelids and look at her.

Seeing that he had a reaction, she hurriedly continued: "I heard that you are also from Yaozhou, and we are still fellow villagers. You just beat me up for twenty boards and let me go, otherwise you are really too unparticular about being a person. ”

His hand trembled for a moment. Is she sure she wants to take the favor of a bowl of wontons to talk to him about being a human being? She talked to herself that day and helped him pay for it, let's just give him a one-star benefit, but if she gave him a benefit, would he appreciate it? If a bowl of wontons asked him to appreciate it, then he would have been busy to death.

"My lord, think about it, you really don't remember me?"

His eyes were still cold: "The official's memory is not so good. ”

Her eyes darkened, her head drooped, and she completely gave up resistance and struggle.

He closed his eyes again, and it wasn't until he got out of the car that he turned around and said to her: "There is something, this official just remembered, a few days ago, there was a Hanlin official named Xu Shiqin, who only suffered eight boards, and he died." Are you sure you want to take these twenty boards? ”

Song Ran naturally didn't want to eat those twenty plates. The board has always been light and heavy, and he can't deliberately scare her with this. If he wanted her to die, he wouldn't let her go. If he wants to give her a way out, even if it's a hundred boards, there is a way to keep her alive. But one thing she was sure of was that as long as the person he wanted to catch hadn't been caught, he wouldn't let her die.

Dumb, dumb, you just run away desperately.

When she arrived at the Tingwei Division, Shen Hanxi didn't even bother to ask in person, and directly ordered someone to throw her to the Xiting for trial. The trial was tried, and he specially asked the commander of the Western Court to personally interrogate it. She looked at his back and began to regret why she had taken over this business in the first place. She is a righteous person, but she is righteous and does not eat, rather than have a beautiful celebrity who dies in righteousness, she would rather live. Thinking about her luck today, it is really a bit unbelievable.

After a pillar of incense. Helan Jue looked at the girl who was sent to him, a little embarrassed.

"What does he mean, my lord?"

Although the prisoners of the Imperial Health Division were all tried by the Western Court, except for the emperor's relatives and relatives, as well as people like Xiao Yan who were named by the top to take special "care", most of them were handed over to the prison officials below first. The prisoner went around the various prison officers, and almost all the things that should and shouldn't have been spit out were spit out, and the dead ducks who couldn't spit out anyway would be specifically mentioned to him.

Jin Yilang, who sent Song Ran here, also had some difficulties: "The lord asked you to watch the trial, he went to the palace first, and the others waited for the adults to come back and then make a decision." ”

Looking at the trial - these three words are the most headache. Whether the punishment can be used or not, whether the punishment can be used or not, whether the light punishment or the major punishment can be used, and to what extent the trial will be carried out, I will give an accurate opinion......

Helan Jue glanced at the girl again, she was young and small, she was estimated to be hung up with a random punishment, if she accidentally hung up with him, and the adult he didn't mean that, he, the commander of the Western Court, just waited.

Wait to die.

Look at the little girl who can't find the north with a face that has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, if it is tortured, it must be very exciting—he put away this idea in time, put his hand in his sleeve, and said to her lazily: "Come with me." I'll take you to visit our Imperial Guard Division first, if you have anything to say, take this opportunity to talk about it, come to this place, don't have any luck mentality, it's not good for anyone to be hard-mouthed. He raised his peach blossom eyes and asked her, "Do you want to know how many people have died at my hands over the years?" ”

Song Ran hurriedly shook his head and obediently followed him: "The folk girl doesn't dare to lie to Lord Helan, what Lord Helan wants to ask, the folk girl just answers truthfully." ”

He complimented her with satisfaction: "Well, that's good." ”

The official office of the Imperial Health Department is no different from other yamen, with red and black as the main colors, and the power can be felt everywhere. Helan Jue took her around and came to the place where the prisoner was being held. Double doors and double walls, and the fence is high. The patterns painted on the walls resemble tiger beasts, which are intimidating. There were two brocade-clothed guards outside the door, both with cold faces and majesty written between their eyebrows.

Helan Jue stepped in briskly, motioning for her to follow. She hesitated and stepped inside.

The cell is equipped with brick cells, wells and troughs for prisoners. At the edge of the rows of cells stood a wooden shelf with straw rope entwined. What is this thing used for, the answer is self-evident, Song Ran didn't dare to look at it more, and he didn't dare to think deeply.

"Come on, come on, let me introduce you to the treasure I am proud of, do you know how many torture instruments we have in Xiting?" Helan Jue glanced at her and said proudly, "There are eighteen kinds in total." It stands to reason that the prisoners who come here will have to take turns with these eighteen torture instruments. If you're lucky today, you can feast your eyes first. ”

Along the way, he introduced to her how to use various torture instruments, how to maintain and repair them, and he himself talked lively, but he heard Song Ran's stomach feel nauseous. He leaned forward with his hands and motioned for the guards to open the door to a prison. The light in the prison was dark, and her eyesight was not very good, so she couldn't see clearly, but the heart-rending screams made her tremble from time to time. I don't know if Helan Jue was tired or had the thought of pity for Xiang Xiang and Jade, and took her to see a few torture instruments and the torture process, so she didn't go any further.

She suddenly asked behind him, "Lord Xiao, ...... He was also tortured here? ”

He Lanjue looked at her through the dim light in the prison, with a white face, a pair of dark and clear eyes, deep emotions in the eyes, and a calm look. However, no matter how bluffing she was, she couldn't escape his eyes. A girl of this age, she is afraid of this situation, and she is not ashamed, but she didn't expect her to be quite bearable.

"The prisoners of the Imperial Health Division are all tried here, but Lord Xiao is a special case. The Holy One took special care of him and did not detain him here. Now that it's over, why do you still inquire about this? ”

"In this Ling'an City, how many people admire Lord Xiao's style, and the people naturally hope to know him more."

Helan Jue hooked her lips, it turned out to be an ignorant girl who was deceived by the first genius of Dajing, no wonder she would take such a risk today.

"Your Lord Xiao's character is indeed very good, he refuses to eat the food that comes to him, and even the imperial doctor who kindly came to pick him up scolded."

Helan Jue sneered twice, then didn't say anything more, and dutifully took her around the Tingwei Division. When he arrived at the yamen of the court, he said: "After the trial, I will come here to the court, sign and draw the charge, and announce the verdict in court." Prisoners who have been sentenced by the Imperial Health Division do not need to wait until the autumn to be beheaded, and are generally dragged directly to the execution ground and everything is over. The execution ground is a little far away, so you don't need me to take you to see it, right? ”

She shook her head again and again: "...... Don't worry about adults. ”

He glanced up at the plaque in the center of the hall and turned to her: "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Before she could speak, she heard a familiar howl behind her.

"Helan Jue, are you judging people or taking people on a day trip to the Imperial Guards! If you don't know how to judge, your grandfather Xia will judge for you! What kind of punishment do you have here, I will bring them all up for grandpa! ”

Xia Xiaoqiu's angry appearance obviously didn't catch anyone, so he came to him to vent his anger.

Helan Jue looked at the visitor with disgust.

I've been shopping with people for so long, and I'm about to attack my heart, so I let the surname Xia stir up. Okay, he's good-tempered, don't bother with him.

"Lord Xia came back so soon, didn't you say that it would be difficult for him to fly this time?"

Xia Xiaoqiu sat in the seat of the clerk in charge of the record, and kept fanning the wind with his hands. Looking at his sweaty appearance, he must have run a lot of way.

"Grandpa, I chased twenty miles, and I didn't even find the slightest trace, if he didn't know how to fly, then he didn't go out of the city at all!" He opened the teacup on the case, and when he saw that there was nothing inside, he immediately became angry, "Where's the tea!" ”

Although Helan Jue was very disgusted with him, he still signaled to the brocade sergeant behind him in the friendship of his colleagues: "Why are you so blind and don't go to show tea to Lord Xia?" ”

Xia Xiaoqiu got up irritably, walked in front of Song Ran viciously, and kept circling around her.

"Your accomplice is capable, if I don't dig something out of your mouth today, grandpa, I won't be surnamed Xia."

He is a grandfather, but he is actually about the same age as her, maybe younger than her, and still a teenager. He is not tall, if it weren't for the fact that his skin is a little darker and his temper is a little bigger, he looks like a little girl.

"The people who should say it have all told Lord Shen. Lord Shen asked me to think about it, but I really don't know what else to confess. However, the folk girl seems to have understood one thing just now, but she doesn't know whether to talk about it. ”

Xia Xiaoqiu said: "Tell Lao Tzu directly." ”

She said: "The folk girl said, don't be angry. ”

Helan Jue nodded lazily: "Forgive you for your innocence." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu warned her: "Don't have any bad ideas, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife." ”

Song Ran paused for a moment and said to the two: "But the folk girl is hungry and wants to eat." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu raised her voice: "Eat? Your grandfather and I haven't eaten yet! ”

She looked at him flatteringly: "Isn't that just right, adults have the strength to judge when they are full, and people have the strength to confess when they are full, right?" ”

Xia Xiaoqiu stared at her for a long time, looking like she was going to eat people, Helan Jue was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary, and was about to pull him away, but he heard him: "It's the same." ”
