Chapter 380: How Can a Country Have Two Masters?

The prison conditions in Kaifeng Province are very bad.

And because some time ago, the water rushed into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and it was full of stagnant water that had not yet dried up, mixed with the smell of decay from rotten wood.

After the disaster, there were many female criminals in the local area, and Kaifeng Prefecture also arrested many people and put them in prison waiting to be dealt with.

All kinds of reasons are mixed together, which leads to the fact that today's Kaifeng Mansion prison is overcrowded.

After all the officials of the Yamen of Henan Province were taken to prison, the jailers still treated them more or less differently.

The hairy thieves who were female offenders were locked up together, the green-robed officials were locked together, the green-robed officials were locked together, and the red-robed officials were locked up together.

The thieves can only stay in the rotten and smelly cells, and the cells where the green-robed officials are held will be replaced with some fresh and clean straw floors, and the green-robed officials will have a few more wooden shelves covered with soft straw.

As for the red-robed officials with the smallest number of people, they will have an extra dung bucket to collect their daily excretion in a centralized manner.

If there are detainees, there will be relatives who send money, and the treatment of these people in prison can be mentioned even higher. In short, as long as the money is in place, as long as you don't get out of the confines of the prison, you can do whatever you want.

What's the matter, in this prison of Kaifeng Mansion, which is obviously overcrowded, those jailers are destined to have no income.

Because the families of these prisoners are involved, they are also within the scope of being arrested and questioned. The three tribes were detained, and the nine tribes were confined.

Bang Bang Bang.

Wooden sticks pounded on wooden barrels filled with food, making a muffled sound familiar to all detainees in the cell.

"It's time to eat."

"Today, the whole Kaifeng Mansion celebrates, and the new Mansion Zun said that the prison will add thirty catties of meat today."

The jailers, who had not received a grain for several days, had already disappeared with the arrest of the nine clans of the prisoners, carrying wooden barrels full of food, and shouting expressionlessly.

A hand holding a large bowl reached out from behind the special opening in the bars of the cell.

The jailer tucked the wooden stick under his arm, holding the rice bucket in one hand and the rice spoon in the other. The big iron spoon dug into the barrel and dropped a spoonful of food into the large bowl.

"How can you not see meat? It's not like adding 30 catties of meat."

Behind the bars of the cell, two green eyes were revealed, and they looked down at the big bowl, the meat that was almost impossible to see without distinguishing.

Several jailers glanced at each other, and then snorted coldly, "Fu Zun didn't say that he wanted to add meat to you individuals."

"If you don't eat it, you'll be hungry if you don't eat!"

When one of the jailers stepped forward, snatched the large bowl from the man's hand, and poured the freshly filled meal back into the rice bucket.

The man with green eyes sneered in a low voice: "Wait for the big rat, the day this official steps out of this place, he will make you wait for a dilemma of life and death!"

Obviously, this person was also a former Henan Provincial official, but this time he was robbed and was put in this prison.

The jailers, however, were undaunted, even laughing sarcastically. ….

In the past, as long as there was no approval from the imperial court, most of the prisoners who went to prison would be treated with courtesy. This is because no one knows whether these prisoners today will be released from prison again in the coming day and return to the officialdom yamen.

Just now?

The jailers smiled coldly, "You're afraid you're deaf, aren't you? Wish for the moon! Didn't you hear what I was saying?"

The jailers finished taunting the old men and continued their way into the cell, distributing the food to the dishes that protruded from the bars of the cells.

After the largest number of rice buckets were used up, the jailers outside had already brought new rice buckets full of food.

It's just obvious that the further back you go, the more meat particles are in the rice bucket.

Wait until you get to the very back of the prison

, also specially took a look at the large window facing the sky, the area where the sunlight poured in, the rice bucket became a lunch box, and the meat particles inside also became fat and crystal clear meat slices.

The jailers walked in with their lunch boxes, looked at the clean cells illuminated by the sun, and finally looked at the prisoners in white clothes who were held inside.

"Everyone, there is meat for today's meal, please use it slowly."

The jailers brought the lunch boxes to the table in the cell and removed the empty ones left over from the previous meal.

Jingle bells.

In the cell, the sound of chains rang out.

Pan Boyong, the former Henan Provincial Prosecutor and Inspector of Henan Province, walked behind the fence with his hair scattered, bowed down, his face was gray, but at this moment, he looked at the few prison guards who were delivering food with his eyes flashing.

"Please, can you tell me, where did Kaifeng Mansion come to celebrate with the whole world? Who is the new prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

As Pan Boyong spoke, the sound of shackles also sounded in several cells side by side, and those who used to be in Henan Province were all behind the bars of the cells.

Although the jailers are not afraid of these former bigwigs, they do not dare to offend easily.

just whispered: "In the past few days, the imperial court has come to the will, and Your Majesty has given the emperor's grandson, just like Your Majesty's power, to give the seal. All officials inside and outside the country have divisions, all play His Royal Highness; Wherever there are officials in the land of action, His Highness can appoint and dismiss them."

Someone else whispered: "As for the new governor of our Kaifeng Mansion, he was originally a Langzhong of the household department, and you can eat meat today, but you have to thank others."

The jailers replied casually and were about to leave.

At this time, behind Pan Boyong, a deep voice came.

"Now, who are the chief officials of the two divisions of the Yamen of Henan Province?"

There was no one to see, only his voice, and several jailers who were just about to leave immediately stopped, turned around and walked to the fence with respectful expressions, and bowed with their hands in their hands.

"See Your Highness for the little ones."

Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, who was still wearing a regular uniform, walked from behind Pan Boyong to the jailers with a silent face.

Pan Boyong leaned sideways slightly.

The jailers did not dare to slack off, and powerful people such as Pan Boyong, the former Henan Provincial Inspector, could not escape being convicted by the imperial court. But the person in front of me who just walked over is very different. ….

[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

In the past few days alone, Jin Yiwei has arrested a lot of people in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are all arresting people one by one."

That's a lot to say.

The other jailer didn't dare to let his companion continue, so he tugged at the other party, then clenched his fists and bowed towards Zhu Hu, who had a calm face behind the bars of the cell.

"The little ones are leaving."

In the cell, the footsteps of the jailers leaving faded away.

Poof.

Pan Boyong was already kneeling straight in front of Zhu Hu.

"Your Highness save me!"

The skin and flesh on Pan Boyong's face twitched slightly, and his eyes turned black for a while.

The chief officials of the two divisions of the yamen have changed, and the imperial grandson has gained monstrous authority.

Pan Boyong has no hope of living at all.

With Pan Boyong's opening.

In the prison, there was a sound of shackles.

Countless prisoners from various departments and yamen of Henan Province knelt on the ground.

"Please save me, Your Highness."

In the dim and damp inferior cells, the hairy thieves who were female offenders let out bursts of mockery in the darkness.

In the past, these high-ranking lords of the government were all greeting the officials with their heads broken and whipping Li Shu's eyes to the sky.

Now in order to save the dog's life, he has panicked so far.

Zhu Hu sighed in his mouth, and hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand to pull Pan Boyong up.

He shook his head and sighed, "Why is this so...... Why not!"

Pan Boyong's face turned black, and in just an instant, his already very old face became even more aged. ….

"The ministers know that they are guilty, but the ministers have no second thoughts about the court. His Royal Highness the Emperor wants to kill us, and we have no regrets, but how innocent are our family members, why should we sin against the nine clans?"

"Please also ask Your Highness to save me and others, and save my family."

In the cells on either side, the prisoners also begged one after another, either for themselves or for their families.

Zhu Hu silently listened to these people's begging, his cheeks tightened, and he sighed: "You have all heard it before, and now the nephew of this king is not only the imperial grandson of the prison country, but also has the authority of this king's father."

Pan Boyong's eyelids sank, and his face was a little distracted.

In the Gobi cell, there was a cold snort.

"Can there be two lords in the kingdom on the same day?"

"Who is the head of the decree, and who is the judge for the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials?"

"This move has never been seen for a long time, and if we are like this suddenly, what will the future of the country be?"

Pan Boyong sighed lightly, looked up at His Royal Highness King Zhou, and said softly: "Lord Wang, it stands to reason that it is inconvenient for us to slander the matter of His Majesty's holy ruling. However, today's actions of His Majesty in the grandson may have the meaning of grace, but can the country really have two masters coexist? If this example is made, how will future generations evaluate the current ancestors? How does the clan maintain it?"

Zhu Hu's eyes flickered slightly, he sighed, waved his hand and waved his sleeves, and stepped back to sit back on the chair added in the cell.

He looked at Pan Boyong vigorously, and looked at the officials of the former Henan Provincial Yamen who were angry, resentful, remorseful, and uneasy behind the bars of the cells opposite.

Zhu Hu said in a low voice, "What do you want to do? This king is also unable to protect himself now, waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment. Whatever you want to do, this king may not be of much help, but he can still spread some word for you in this prison."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hu silently lowered his head, and his eyes swept over Pan Boyong and the others.

The situation in Nam Province is complicated, and after these people were detained that day, most of the crimes described were limited to individuals, and few people outside the government were implicated.

Even.

Zhu Hu faintly felt that these people had far more backhands than he had mastered.

Pan Boyong closed his mouth, some things were originally used to save his life, but that night the high-rise building of Kaifeng Mansion caught fire, and the emperor

Taisun's movements were so fast that they didn't even have a chance to send a warning signal.

In another cell behind Pan Boyong, someone shouted at him.

"Pan Zhicha! Now that I've reached this point, what else is there to hide? Since Your Highness is willing to help me wait, do you still have doubts about Your Highness?"

Zhu Hu was very cooperative, with a hint of flickering in his eyes, and looked at Pan Boyong silently.

Pan Boyong raised his head, was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare to have any doubts about His Highness."

Zhu Hu smiled slightly, sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly: "Pan Zhicha, what do you want this king to take out for you?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hu gently clapped his palms.

A crisp slap sounded in the cell.

In a few moments, a jailer came out of the darkness and went outside the bars of the cell. ….

The jailer bowed his head: "Your Highness."

Pan Boyong glanced back at the other party, his face was quite shocked, he never thought that King Zhou was in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and there were still secret people.

"Although Pan Zhicha made it clear to him, whatever you want to bring, he will take it out for you."

Zhu Lu said surgingly, leaning back and leaning back in the chair.

Then, as if muttering to himself, "How can two countries coexist?"

Pan Boyong bowed to Zhu Hu, and then bowed to the jailer outside the barred of the cell, and then walked to the front of the cell on the side.

In the cell, there was a slight movement.

After Pan Boyong discussed with everyone for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"Your Highness, we've already decided." Pan Boyong bowed, walked to Zhu Hu, who had been closing his eyes for a while, and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes."

Zhu Hu let out a sound in his throat, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Pan Boyong, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the jailer outside the cell: "Make it clear to him, if your method is effective, this king may be able to leave this pickled place earlier."

Pan Boyong arched his hand again, saluted Zhu Hu, and then walked behind the fence.

"I'm tired."

Pan Boyong said apologetically to the jailer outside.

The jailer was silent, took out a blank booklet from his bosom, and carried a thin pen.

After thinking about it, the jailer handed the booklet and pen to Pan Boyong's hand again.

Pan Boyong looked at the booklet in his hand, but hesitated.

He shook his head, "It doesn't have to be so cumbersome, just bring a few words with you."

The jailer looked at Pan Boyong and nodded, "You say."

After a while, Pan Boyong admonished, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, watching the jailer disappear silently into the prison.

At this moment, Pan Boyong's face showed a hint of relaxation and expectation.

He turned around and came to Zhu Hu again: "Sinner, thank Your Highness for your kindness today."

As he spoke, Pan Boyong knelt on the ground.

Zhu Hu was still recalling what Pan Boyong said to the jailer, and his heart was already like turning over the river and the sea, and seeing Pan Boyong kneeling in front of him at this moment, he could only be surprised and shocked with difficulty.

Zhu Hu said in a low voice, "It stands to reason that this king shouldn't let you do such a thing, but ...... Who made this king imprisoned here now?"

As he spoke, Zhu Hu sneered twice self-deprecatingly.

Pan Boyong lowered his head and just echoed softly, but he had another idea in his heart.

In recent years, the Zhou Wangfu has been in Henan Province, which is not clean.

At this time, King Zhou said that he should not say anything, but he didn't have to nod in agreement and help.

Outside the prison of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The jailer who was called out by Zhu Hu before had already walked out of the prison at this time.

The jailer was only a few steps away from the corner.

Dark guard Tian Mai and brocade guard hundred households

Zhang Hui has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing that the jailer finally came out, the two looked at each other.

The jailer arched his hand and said in a low voice: "According to the plan today, the news of Henan Province today was put into the cell, and Pan Boyong and these people really took the bait. His subordinates borrowed the hand of His Royal Highness King Zhou and got clues from Pan Boyong. ….

It's just that his subordinates originally wanted him to write it down clearly, but this guy was quite cautious and only talked to his subordinates. If your subordinates go out of the city to find a family, just bring the word with them."

Tian Mai's brows were a little solemn, and he said in a low voice: "What does Pan Boyong want you to bring, and where do you take it?"

Zhang Hui was standing beside Tian Mai, silently observing the changes in the face of the person in the secret guard.

After a long period of medical research in Jinyi Weizhao Prison, Zhang Hui has a good understanding of the changes in the skin and flesh of people's faces when they tell the truth and lie.

The man stepped forward and whispered to Tian Mai.

After the man finished explaining all of Pan Boyong's plans and explanations, Tian Mai couldn't help but gasp and looked back at Zhang Hui, who was also surprised.

Zhang Hui thought back to the guard's previous behavior, and there was no trace of lying.

He suppressed his voice and said, "At this time, do you have to tell His Highness about it now?"

Tian Mai shook his head: "Your Highness is with Yan Shizi today to discuss the reform of Henan Province. It's better not to let Yan Shizi know about these things for the time being."

Zhang Hui thought about it and nodded, but there was an irritated expression on his face.

Tian Mai looked at the jailer: "Take people, secretly find out the details of the family that Pan Boyong wants you to pass on, and when we have arranged everything, we will pass Pan Boyong's words to those people."

The secret guard disguised as the jailer of Kaifeng Mansion immediately surrendered his order.

Tian Mai looked back and patted Zhang Hui on the shoulder: "We have few secret guards, this matter still depends on your Jinyi guards, Your Highness wants to do great things in Henan Province, and after completing its work, we have to do everything in the secret for Your Highness."

Zhang Hui snorted twice, his eyes revealing a strong murderous aura.

As the two people who were also under the dark side of Daming, they looked at each other silently.

It's all in plain sight.
