There was a putrid smell coming from the water dungeon.

The prison officer led the way, carrying a pine oil lamp.

Lu Chonglou of the Criminal Department followed Chen Yanyun and said: "I just sent it over last night, and the lower officials were imprisoned overnight, and the taste in the water prison is not very good, so adults should be patient." I'll bring people up and ask them again......"

Chen Yanyun said: "Let's take a cup of tea, I have to ask a lot of tongue, I'm afraid I have to moisten my mouth." ”

Lu Chonglou smiled and beckoned the Shuling Shi on the side to order the use of Hanyang fog tea.

Chen Yanyun followed the head of the gate to the prison hall.

The tea was quickly served, and a desk was set up in the prison hall, and Chen Yanyun sat next to the desk, leaning idly on the Taishi chair to drink tea.

Lu Chonglou just came in and saw it, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Guo Chenda once told him that the interrogation of Zhang Ling was just a trivial matter, and it couldn't be simpler to sentence the exile to escape and be arrested. Just hit a few dozen more boards, throw them at the Terracotta Division and follow the prisoners to Ningguta. Where is the need for him to preside over such a thing...... But this person is Zhang Ling, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Moreover, when interrogating such a trivial matter, Chen Ge Lao said that he would come over to hear the trial.

This is a bit unusual.

Lu Chonglou took Guo Chenda's words again yesterday, saying that he tried to understate it as much as possible, and it would be good to get this matter over as soon as possible. Don't let Zhang Ling say too much.

Lu Chonglou went back and pondered for a day, and then asked Zhang Ling to be taken to the water prison to be locked up.

There was no food or drink in the water prison, there were many mosquitoes, and after soaking in cold water for a night, Zhang Ling must have lost his energy.

He settled down, stepped forward and bowed his hand to Chen Yanyun and said with a smile: "The lower officials don't dare to overstep, Lord Chen, please sit down." ”

Chen Yanyun smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with it, you can sit down, so as not to dominate the crowd." ”

Lu Chonglou sat behind the desk and asked people to bring Zhang Ling up.

Two prison officers dragged in a dying man, soaked, pale as paper, with black iron shackles on his feet. No matter how Zhang Ling said it, he was also a two-rank jinshi, a court official of the fourth grade, but he was tortured into such a down-and-out appearance. It took a long time after being thrown to the ground before slowly curling up in a ball. He was soon dragged to his knees by the prison officer and made him kowtow.

Lu Chonglou asked him some questions, and Zhang Ling replied in a low voice: "...... Those who fled with the exiles had no accomplices, and none fled with them...... When I went to Yu Qing, my father had an old friend there and wanted to visit his old man's house......"

Lu Chonglou asked again: "What is your old friend, and what is your surname?" ”

Zhang Ling sighed: "After Yu Qing...... I found out that he had already moved away......" Speaking of this, he coughed for a long time, and his voice was intermittent, "I finished asking the adults...... But there's nothing else......"

Lu Chonglou couldn't wait to finish the trial as soon as possible, and when he heard Zhang Ling say this, he said: "You dare to flee despite being charged, I'm afraid it's not as simple as exile, but you have to suffer a little...... called the name of the prison officer, and said that Zhang Ling was dragged down and beaten with a cane.

Chen Yanyun put down the teacup: "What is Lord Lu anxious about, I still haven't asked a few words." ”

Lu Chonglou leaned sideways and whispered and said, "My lord, I don't think he's in good spirits, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything." ”

"When you hit the board, you won't be able to ask." Chen Yanyun stretched out his hand and called the jailer over, "Pour people to drink, give some to Master Zhang, let him wake up." As soon as the jailer heard this, he understood that he should be busy getting it. Chen Yanyun turned his head to Shu Lingshi and said, "You have written down everything I asked next, and asked Zhang Linghua to postpone it and submit it to Master Shangshu." ”

He stood up and walked up to Zhang Ling and asked him, "Lord Zhang, you once had a private meeting with Wu Xinhuai, the envoy of Yuqing Salt Transport in Yuqing, what did you say to him?" ”

Lu Chonglou was very puzzled when he heard this, what did Lord Chen want to ask, and what did it have to do with the salt envoy?

Zhang Ling's face turned pale, and he looked up at Chen Yanyun: "Lord Chen...... What does that mean? ”

Chen Yanyun smiled and said, "Master Zhang, I always like to ask others, not answer. Let me ask you again, what did you say to Wu Xinhuai? ”

Chen Yanyun must know something! Zhang Ling's heart was beating like a drum, how could he know about this! "I've never met Master Wu...... I'm afraid Master Chen has misunderstood......"

Chen Yanyun stopped talking to him, and instead said to the prison officer: "Then let's go to the whip first, and beat him with a whip dipped in strong wine, so that he can't faint." ”

Lu Chonglou came down and walked next to Chen Yanyun, "Lord Chen...... This ......"

Chen Yanyun glanced at him: "Master Lu, don't worry, since you can't ask anything, I'll help you ask." ”

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Chonglou's forehead, what is this Chen Ge Lao going to do!

The jailer came up with a whip.

After a whip, Zhang Ling spat out.

His whole body hurt and burned, and his words were intermittent: "...... I've been speaking for Lord Wu...... Salt trafficking. Yu Qing...... Yu Qing's official salt was mined and resold to private salt dealers to earn a large amount of silver......"

Zhang Ling was a little hesitant when he said this, and looked at Chen Yanyun.

Chen Yanyun took another sip of tea, and didn't raise his eyelids: "Don't be lucky, since I can know about you and Wu Xinhuai, I know about you and other things." The tea cover was brushed on the surface of the water, and the voice was very calm, "You did such a thing, and none of the county officials, government offices, and governors found out?" What are the implications, 1510 make it clear, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again. ”

No matter how stupid Lu Chonglou is, he knows that Master Chen is not a drunkard, and he is not drinking, I am afraid that he has already measured it in his heart.

…… Doesn't it mean that Chen Sanye is the most elegant and best one in the cabinet? He knows all the torture tools of the Criminal Department, and it is easy to extract confessions and interrogate them.

Chen Yanyun chuckled: "Lord Zhang, can I be so fooled?" That's fine. Called Chen Yi, "Go and raise a stove, Master Zhang is wet, you should keep warm." ”

Zhang Ling was originally an official of Dali Temple, and his means of inquiry were clear. As soon as he heard this, he knew what kind of punishment Chen Yanyun was going to inflict, his hand couldn't help but clench tightly, and he whispered, "Let me tell you what you want to know...... Yes, Lord Wang was also involved, and the governor of Nanzhili was not someone we could contact...... I went to Yuqing, and it was also the advice of Lord Wang......"

Lu Chonglou couldn't help but ask, "Yes...... Which Wang? ”

"Naturally, he is now a cabinet veteran...... Wang Xuanfan, Lord Wang. ”

Lu Chonglou was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Chen Yanyun said again: "Lord Lu...... Uncovering such a big case is enough to accumulate your qualifications. When Guo Chen reaches the office, you can also reach the position of the waiter. He raised his head, "Lord Lu, do you understand what you mean?" ”

Lord Chen wanted him to recognize his credit...... Why is that? Will he say yes? As Master Chen said, there is no problem for him to be promoted to a squire in exposing such a big case.

Lu Chonglou thought for a long time before hesitantly nodded. Chen Yanyun smiled: "That's good, remember, you asked about this case." I'm just listening, and you can ask him about the details. ”

He stood up, and Chen Yi put a cloak on him. The group left the prison hall.

……

Zhou Yixuan only arrived in Wanping this afternoon, and Mrs. Chen sent a steward to pick her up from the official road. asked the girl to tell a few daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law.

Gu Jinchao chose a pair of hollow and entwined gold bracelets inlaid with white jade and put them in the box, ready to give Zhou Yixuan a meeting gift. After thinking about it, he took another brocade box and put a bottle of rose dew in it. She remembered that Zhou Yixuan liked things like rose dew very much, and the sachets on her body were filled with sun-dried rose petals, and she used to give her two rose sachets in order to please Gu Jinchao.

I got to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen first invited Gu Jinchao to tea, and then told Gu Jinchao about the Buddhist scriptures she had just heard.

Mrs. Chen went to Jing Miao Nunnery yesterday to attend the puja.

Just as he was saying interestingly, the Qin family brought the Shen family, the Zhuang family, and the Sun family over. Sun was supported by a girl from her, and walked slowly. Shen and Zhuang held Brother Xian'er and Brother Zheng, while Chen Zhao followed behind Sun. After a while, the Wang family came over with Chen Rong and a few others. For a while, the room was very lively, and the children were chattering.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Put them all on the Luohan bed and let them play by themselves." Bring a few plates of pastries, and don't take the silk candy, otherwise the sugar residue will fall everywhere. Bring some pine nut candy, rose candy, and amber candy. Mama Zheng promised to get it.

Sun sat down beside Gu Jinchao and took her hand with a smile: "The eight boxes that the third aunt gave me last time are really delicious, and there are even sour jujube cakes." I ate a sour appetizer, and I've eaten more recently...... People say that sour children are hot and spicy, and my baby may not be a boy. The third aunt still has that kind of box, and I would like to ask for one more. ”

The expressions of Shen and Zhuang beside her were faint, as if they hadn't heard her words.

They didn't know what was in their stomachs, so they dared to be so rampant, and the two of them naturally disdained it.

Gu Jinchao didn't want to get too close to the Sun family, so he smiled slightly: "The box of sour jujube cake is gone, and I don't like to eat pastries, so I didn't bring much." ”

Qin sat opposite Jin Chao and asked her, "I didn't have time to see Sister Xi yesterday, is she all well now?" ”

Gu Jinchao nodded: "I can kick the shuttlecock, I pestered Qingpu to teach her every day, and it seems that I will be able to accompany Sister Zhao to kick soon." ”

As soon as he said this, a mother-in-law was outside, saying that Miss Biao was coming.

Before I could see her, I heard a burst of laughter. The girl opened the curtain, and a girl wearing a white skirt with a white skirt on a Hunan concubine background walked in. He wore a distracted bun and wore a golden hairpin inlaid with red garnet on his head. She has bright eyes and bright teeth, and is delicate and moving.

Seeing Mrs. Chen, she walked over to her with a smile raised: "Grandmother, I miss you!" ”R1152
