Qin Tai personally checked the entrance to the outside to prevent this leader from leaving the prison in disguise. At the same time, Qin Tai asked his wife to secretly go to the sixth layer, pay attention to everyone's actions, and prevent the leader from mixing in with everyone, trying to use the secret passage to leave the prison of the Criminal Department. The old Mo and mute brought by Zhan Xiaoxiao were placed in a safe place by Qin Tai, almost next to Tan Yan. There was a large group of soldiers outside to protect the safety of Tan Lun and everyone, and there was absolutely no need to worry about whether they would be attacked.

Qin Tai's arrangement really made sense, and soon after Zhan Xiaoxiao reached the sixth floor, he noticed the strangeness of a soldier. This soldier was dressed in the same clothes as the other soldiers, but he deliberately worked alone. The soldiers around him didn't seem to be familiar with him, and he didn't pay attention to his comrades. Zhan Xiao secretly observed this soldier and found that this soldier was not a real soldier. The soldiers brought by Tan Tan were all soldiers on duty in the military department, and these soldiers were from the first section of the Praetorian Guard. Although well-equipped and energetic, he will not wear eighty percent new boots, and his face will not be so ruddy. Only in a place like the prison of the Criminal Department, where there is no sunlight for a long time, people who eat well and become cell leaders will have white skin, ruddy faces, and relatively new boots on their feet. So this man is not only not a soldier, but also a cell head in a prison of the Criminal Department. Why did this man mix in with the soldiers? Why do you want to work here? It can be seen that this person is not the leader that Qin Tai is looking for, or an important person in the other party's organization.

When Zhan Xiaoxiao was sure that there was something wrong with the man, a soldier found a loose secret passage. This is the secret hole that the workers dug up in private, and it is said that it can be outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. When Zhan Xiaoxiao was about to rush over to subdue this problematic person, this person had already jumped into this secret passage for the first time. Zhan Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry at all, waiting for this person to come back by himself. Because Qin Tai told Zhan Xiaoxiao that although it was a secret passage inside, it could lead to the outside world. But this secret passage has not been used for hundreds of years, and there is a fear of stagnant water or silt in it. Qin Tai told his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao that once someone jumps, they will either never be able to get out, or they will come up immediately. Zhan Xiaoxiao firmly believed in her husband Qin Tai's words, so she waited aside and waited for this person to come up by himself.

Soon the man did come up, and it was full of mud and crawlers, and he didn't dare to walk in it, and he didn't dare to stay in it. As soon as he came up, he was held down by the soldiers, Zhan Xiaoxiao grabbed this person and went up, Zhan Xiaoxiao was seventy or eighty percent sure, this person was the real leader.

Qin Tai didn't need to interrogate this person, someone had already recognized this person's true face. He is Lao Mo's adopted son, Lao Mo not only raised him, but also raised him as his own son, ready to hand over everything to him. Unexpectedly, he was such a person, and he wanted to kill Lao Mo, an old father who was so kind to him.

Lao Mo rushed forward sadly, and when he tried to kill this unfilial son, Qin Tai hinted to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao persuaded Lao Mo when he came up. Lao Mo constantly scolded this unfilial son, and tried to go up and do it to this person again many times, but Zhan Xiaoxiao blocked him again and again. Lao Mo was extremely impulsive and powerful, and almost killed this adopted son several times.

Qin Tai and his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and after confirming their opinion, they ordered to catch Lao Mo. Qin Tai personally took action against Lao Mo and searched for the weapons on Lao Mo's body. Several weapons were found from Lao Mo's body, all of which were poisonous hidden weapons, and it seemed that he really wanted this son's life. When everyone thought that Lao Mo was defending himself and was in a hurry to get rid of the traitor, Qin Tai pointed out that Lao Mo had bad intentions. When Lao Mo wanted to explain, Qin Tai told a surprising truth. This old Mo's adopted son is not the real leader, just a puppet who obeys people's orders, and the real messenger is none other than Lao Mo.

Lao Mo not only secretly controls the secret passage, but also tries to develop the so-called own people. When he found the old drunkard master and Wang Tong and the mute, he tried to pull them into the water many times. But the old drunkard master was disheartened and unwilling to meddle in his affairs, so Lao Mo had to encourage him to leave the prison of the Criminal Department. Because of Wang Tong's death, Wang Tong hated intrigue and power struggle, so Lao Mo couldn't convince Wang Tong. Only this mute, because he knew too many secrets of Lao Mo, was forced by Lao Mo to join his organization. For this reason, the dumb man hinted to Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao many times, asking them to be careful with everyone and asking them to leave the prison of the Criminal Department as soon as possible. When Lao Mo found out that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao not only had no intention of leaving the prison of the Criminal Department, but also might have discovered something, Lao Mo commanded his adopted son to assassinate Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao. However, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao avoided many plots, and Lao Mo tried to stabilize Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao, trying to use the dumbness to lead Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao into a misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, the dumb words not only did not attract Qin Tai and Zhanxiao's attention, but also made Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao discover the secret of the prisoner's eating human flesh gruel, so they decided to fully investigate the prison of the Criminal Department.

Lao Mo saw that he couldn't coax Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao, so he simply didn't say a word. But he stopped talking, and his adopted son had something to say. His adopted son didn't expect Lao Mo to really kill him, but he didn't expect Lao Mo to want to sacrifice his son and successor in order to save himself. After being disheartened by Lao Mo, this adopted son told the biggest secret of the prison of the Criminal Department.

It turned out that Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was not without descendants, and one of his concubines was pregnant when Emperor Wuzong Zhengde was dying. For this reason, the Empress Dowager decided to wait for the birth of the child before deciding who would be the emperor, if the child was a boy, he would be the new emperor, and if the child was not a boy, she would find an imperial relative from the Koneda imperial family to take over as emperor. At that time, the ministers had already selected the new emperor, and the later Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi had been sent to the capital, so everyone did not want the concubine of Emperor Zhengde to give birth to a boy. But this concubine gave birth to a boy, and everyone hid from the Queen Mother that she gave birth to a girl, so Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi succeeded to the throne. This boy was originally secretly raised in a safe place, but later he didn't know why the Queen Mother knew about it. The queen mother wanted her own grandson to be the emperor, and abolished the puppet emperor Zhu Houxi, the Jiajing Emperor. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi poisoned the Queen Mother on the one hand, and sent people to secretly guard the widow of the former emperor who was growing up. Yan Song was the closest person of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and he arranged the child's residence, not only to ensure that the child was alive, but also to ensure that the child would not threaten Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Therefore, Yan Song imprisoned the child in the secret cell of the Criminal Department Prison, which was an independent space of the Criminal Department Prison.

Not only does the child lose his freedom when he is locked up, but he also prevents the child from living a normal life. No one takes care of the child, no one cares about the child, and the child hardly understands anyone's feelings. The person who took care of the child was originally subordinate to Jinyiwei, and later completely decoupled from Jinyiwei and directly obeyed the command of Yan Song alone. Yan Song listens to a report every three months to determine whether the child is alive in the world. In order to let the child live longer, in order not to starve the child, Yan Song once gave an order, that is, not to wronged the child's food. The main caretaker of the prison of the Criminal Department was Lao Mo's master, and later became Lao Mo, and none of them had the right to give the child good food, so they thought of using dead human flesh to cook for the child. For this reason, the corpse was dismantled and boiled porridge for other prisoners to eat, and the human flesh was made into stir-fried or braised pork for this man who was supposed to be the richest man in history.

Soon after Yan Song's death, there was no one to supervise them, and Lao Mo began to raise his courage. He is ready to use this almost idiotic "living treasure" in an attempt to control the Ming Dynasty. His idea was to contact the close branches of the royal family, and with their support, force Emperor Longqing to step down and support this idiot to become emperor. At that time, Lao Mo and his son can call for wind and rain in the court, and the advantage of the prince is that his descendants can be the emperor in the future. Unexpectedly, his plan was ruined by Qin Tai, he wanted to use the chaos to save this idiot and himself, so that he could find a chance to leave the prison of the Criminal Department in the future. As long as he lives, as long as the idiot prince does not die, they will have a chance to make a comeback.

Lao Mo and the others were arrested by Tan Lun's order, and it is said that they were held in a safe place, waiting for Emperor Longqing to personally deal with these "house thieves". As for the posthumous son of Emperor Zhengde, who was already in his forties, he was also "invited" out of the prison cell by Qin Tai and Tan Yan. This cell is between the first floor above ground and one basement, and it is the real first underground prison. When this prince came out, no one dared to believe his eyes, this prince was almost naked, holding in his hand "braised pork" made of human flesh, and gnawing on it regardless of the image. Not only can't speak, but also can't understand what everyone is saying.

When this prince was arranged by Emperor Longqing to the courtyard, he sent someone to watch and take care of him. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao found an opportunity to visit this prince. This prince's intelligence is obviously insufficient, and his actual intelligence is less than a child of five or six years old, so Emperor Longqing did not secretly solve this cousin. But Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that this prince was not a complete idiot. Lao Mo said privately that he had thought about cultivating this prince, so this prince would definitely not be an idiot who didn't understand anything. Qin Tai believes that this prince really doesn't understand the world very well, and he can't compare to normal adults, but he definitely won't be a complete idiot. The purpose of the prince doing this should be to paralyze Emperor Longqing and everyone, so as not to take his life. Not only is this prince not an idiot, but this prince has a little scheming.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were unwilling to participate in the political struggle, nor did they want him to die at the hands of their own family, so Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao decided not to talk about this matter. Lao Mo and the others had been killed by Emperor Longqing for the first time, and Tan Yan and the others didn't know what was going on inside, so Emperor Longqing didn't know the truth of the matter very well. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao wanted to make mistakes and not tell the prince about pretending to be stupid. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao's purpose in coming to see the prince was to tell the prince that not only would they not say it, but also asked the prince to continue to pretend to be stupid.

On the third day after Qin Tai left the prison of the Criminal Department, all the prisoners changed into new prison clothes, and the internal rules of the prison changed. Not only have the rules changed, but almost all the managers of the original prison of the Criminal Department have changed. The passages and chambers were cleared, and the entrances were permanently sealed. At Qin Tai's request, the first and fifth basement floors, as well as the sixth floor, were permanently closed. Excess prisoners and children were arranged by the imperial court to settle the problem, and from then on they were not allowed to know the law and break the law, and the prisoners were fished, especially the female prisoners who were bullied.

Soon after, the imperial court issued a commendation order, Tan Yan and Zhang Juzheng were both commended, and meritorious people were also promoted. But there are no names of Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao on the list, not only are they not the names of their husband and wife, but they also have no meaning of praise at all. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and they didn't mean to complain about Zhang Juzheng or Tan Yan. Tan Yan was a little embarrassed, saying that he must invite Qin Tai and his wife to dinner, and their credit is shared by Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao.
