Chapter 404: The Letters of the Yanmen
The brigade, a well-known official in the Xianyang area, used to have many eucalyptus, and it was difficult for others to break it, and in the end, they all sent the brigade to investigate, and it was broken.
The same is true, in Xianyang, not only the people, but also many officials, are aware of the word 'mother harm', and there are few people who are worthy of this title.
The mother harm here means that no one can be more powerful than this.
And so it is.
Bai Bo and Bai Square will use the relationship, and finally let the brigade be transferred over to check this eucalyptus, after all, in the eyes of Bai Bo and Bai Ping, this eucalyptus is almost a dead eucalyptus, and there is no hope of being detected at all, if there is, then only the brigade can do it.
Luoyin City Mansion Ya.
Julu and Yanhui were among the Qin officials, and after many investigations, the understanding they got was basically the same as what Bai Yan said yesterday.
Due to the rain, neither of them had time to go to the villages to investigate.
At present, the two of them can only come to the cell and start interrogating those who were arrested by Bai Yan.
However, before the two of them could review it for long, a scholar came to visit.
"Lord Yan, Lord Ju, this is Luo's Luoli! Fan's Fan Xian! ”
Zhang Guan took Luo Li and a few people to the cell and introduced them to Yan Hui and Julu.
Yan Hui and Julu are not Bai Yan, as the two of them are the history and the history of the death, when they see the famous local families, they will naturally not slack off, so they get up and return the salute.
"I heard that the two adults are coming to Luoyin, we have prepared a banquet for the two adults, and I hope that the two adults will not refuse!"
Luo Li appeared to speak, full of sincerity.
"This, at the moment, is still under investigation, how inconvenient!"
Julu took the lead in refusing, telling Luo Li that they still need to review it here.
Yan Hui also nodded on the side, but compared to traveling, Yan Hui was quite close to the few people in front of him.
"Since it's a business matter, I'll wait for the sunset, prepare a thin wine and female music, and wait for the two adults!"
Luo Li heard Julu's words, turned his head to look at the others beside him, and then turned back to Julu and said with a smile.
"That's fine!"
Yan Hui took the lead in returning the salute and smiled and bowed his hand.
When she heard the word female music, Yan Hui's eyes lit up, which can be called female music, without exception, it is not coquettish and soft.
From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, a group of special women who began between the Zhou Dynasty were called Nule, which was the most favorite women in captivity of the rich and powerful princes and scholars in addition to their wives and concubines.
The status of female music is that of a slave, and she cultivates and trains singing and dancing skills all year round, and her purpose is to be a woman who is specially entertained by dignitaries and nobles.
At that time, if people with status did not raise a group of female musicians, they simply had no face to say that they were that scholar, in addition to performing songs and dances for the master, female musicians were also one of the contents they had to learn, whether it was the head of the house, or even the guests, if the head of the house was willing, or even the entourage of the head of the house, they had to be satisfied one by one.
Because of their humble status, female musicians are often given as gifts to each other or resold as gifts.
Yingzheng rewarded Bai Yan with six dancing girls before, which is a kind of female music, but unlike other female music, those who can be promoted to female music in the palace are not ordinary slaves, and they are definitely not ordinary people dare to touch.
"Well, then I'll excuse me!"
Seeing that Yanhui did not refuse, Julu thought about it and agreed to come down.
In Xianyang City, he has been an official for more than 20 years, and he knows better than anyone the ability of the scholars, in the case of not offending the scholars, he must not want to offend the scholars, he is not Bai Yan, before Bai Yan became a general, he had the support of the Bai family, if he offended the scholars, no one knows what kind of revenge he will suffer in the future, and whether it will harm his wife and daughter.
After all, he was just a pawn, not a general.
"Hehehe, then it's a word!"
Seeing this, Luo Li arched his hand, and his smile became brighter.
Next, under Zhang Guan's opening, after Yan Hui agreed, Luo Li, Fan Xian and others watched the brigade interrogate those who were arrested.
At this moment, Luo Li's smile retracted, in his father's plan before, it should be that the two of them were only those who had enmity with Bai Yan, after all, how could those people be willing to pass this opportunity after the previous plunder.
However, the arrival of the brigade exceeded all of their expectations, and fortunately, it was not without opportunity to see the appearance of Yan Hui.
Inside the cell.
Luo Li and Fan Xian, looking at the entouraged servants one by one, their breathing was a little short, the most important thing for them at the moment was to do everything possible to get these people out of the cell.
As long as these doormen and servants are never in the hands of the government, no matter whether they hide in that corner of Luoyin, or even escape, they will not be implicated.
At the beginning, they despised Bai Yan too much, or they didn't expect that Bai Yan would count all of them in just one move, if it weren't for their father's danger, it is estimated that under torture, they would have been implicated.
Although torture is easy to criticize, it is never forbidden in Qin law.
Just like the most prestigious brigade, in which case of fame, it is also through large-scale questioning and search, after all the suspects are determined, then examined, and repeatedly interrogated, and finally it is sure that it is the murderer, and if he does not admit it alive or dead, he will be tortured.
This is also the reason why the brigade is famous in Xianyang.
If you can not be tortured, you will never be tortured, only when you have sufficient certainty, you will give an order, and the whole process will be written to the Xianyang County Court.
"My lord, I am wronged! I was not a murderer, but I went to the village that night to look for the man who owed money, and because I was afraid in the middle of the night, I called for someone to go with me. ”
Under cross-examination.
All the men who were arrested, without exception, insisted that they had gone to the village to collect debts, and that they had been arrested by the general's soldiers for no reason, and they did not know when the general arrived in Luoyin and why they were arrested.
Julu knelt on the wooden table, accompanied by cross-examination, Fan Xian and Luo Li saw this, took out a piece of cloth from their sleeve pockets, and stepped forward to hand it to Julu.
"My lord, these are IOUs!"
Luo Li said with a smile.
Julu turned his head in surprise and glanced up at Luo Li.
Seeing this, Luo Li pointed to the men.
"Those men are all from the Luo family and the Fan family, and they never wanted to be misunderstood by the general because of the debt collection before."
When Luo Li said this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of grievances and helplessness.
"We never expected that the general suspected that those who drowned did not drown, and it happened that day that our servants heard that someone wanted to pay their debts, and they were so worried that they went to the village to check, which is not ...... Alas! For now, we only hope that the general can solve his misunderstanding, these people are all Luo and Fan people, loyal and can't bear to look at passive punishment! ”
Once the words come down, Luo Li will be as miserable as he says, and he will be as aggrieved as he wants.
In Yan Hui's eyes, looking at the strips of cloth in Julu's hand with words and words, and seeing that there was a bloody palm print on it, Bai Yan's impression in his eyes had quietly changed into a person who pretended to be smart and finally misunderstood others.
According to Luo Li's words, if it weren't for the two of them coming, once these people were tortured by Bai Yan, if they really couldn't bear it, they would be beaten into tricks at that time.
Those who were originally drowned were really made into a murderer.
"You say, 'One is a man's name! A chimney? ”
Julu frowned, did not hurry to make a statement, but looked at the words on the IOU, raised his head and asked.
"Yes, yes!"
The man who was tied up, unkempt, looked at the brigade with his eyes, and nodded hurriedly.
"Where are those two now?"
Julu turned his head to look at a Qin official and asked.
"Also in the cell! We've been guarding it all this time, and we're guarding it outside! ”
When Qin Yi heard the inquiry, he hurriedly arched his hand to his idol and said.
Hearing this, he nodded.
"Bring it here!"
...............
As the rain fell from the gloomy sky, streams of water from under the eaves fell down into the hallway.
"General, Luo's Luoli, Fan's Fan Xian and others have gone to the official prison cell!"
An iron cavalry soldier, dressed in a rain-soaked hat, reported to Bai Yanyu with a sword in his hand.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard the words of his cronies.
Looking at the rain outside, Bai Yan's face was gloomy.
"Now it seems that it is really not drowning!"
Hou Yao stood beside Bai Yan and said softly.
"But now, if there is no evidence, the only way to do this is to use execution, otherwise, those people will not confess at all! However, the execution ......."
Hou Yao sighed, said this, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan.
When Bai Yan saw Hou Yao's eyes, he smiled indifferently, and he didn't seem to be very worried.
"It's okay!"
Bai Yan knew what Hou Yao meant, and he took the liberty of punishment, which was good for a reason, but after the book Xianyang, if he was punished now, he would not only ruin his reputation, but also fall into the hands of others.
"During this period of time, the adults will live in the mansion with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about other things, the adults finally came to the Qin Kingdom for a trip, so why bother with it! If beauty is not enough, just ask! ”
Bai Yan said to Hou Yao.
For Hou Yao, the eldest son of Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State, Bai Yan is not stupid, and naturally he will not refuse Hou Yao's closeness, the eldest son of Qi Xiang, as long as he does not rebel in Qi State, he must not offend Tian Ding and the royal family, just this relationship is enough to go sideways.
Therefore, last night, Ying Zheng rewarded Bai Yan's beauties, and Bai Yan picked two and gave them to Hou Yao.
Hou Yao's identity Bai Yan is not worried that Ying Zheng will think too much, after all, Qin Guo has also been secretly bribing Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State, and he will not be able to send two beauties to Hou Yao.
"Enough is enough, General Bai's good intentions, Hou Yao is really hard to repay! If there is a need in the future, General Bai can speak out! ”
Hou Yao heard Bai Yan, who was younger than himself, mention the two beauties last night, with a smile on his face and a look of contentment in his eyes.
Running all the way, the boat and car were tiring, although the two beauties Bai Yan gave did not say the source, but Hou Yao was not without vision, and he could see the difference at a glance, and after the pleasure last night, the two beauties also told him about it.
Therefore, in addition to physical satisfaction, in his heart, Hou Yao is also full of vanity, and he is also closer to Bai Yan.
At this time.
A servant came to Hou Yao's side and said something, and when Hou Yao heard it, he frowned slightly and nodded hurriedly.
"Lord Tian is looking for me if he has something, General Bai, Hou Yao will come when he goes!"
Hou Yao Ji said.
Seeing this, Bai Yan returned the salute to Hou Yao.
Looking at the back of Hou Yao's departure, Bai Yan knew that what happened last night had already made Tian Ding dissatisfied with Hou Yao.
Thinking of this, Bai Yan looked at the heavy rain in the courtyard in front of him.
It's a pity that Tian Feiyan has always been under the control of Tian Ding.
Yesterday, in the face of Tian Ding's verbal trap, he deliberately mentioned the matter of Zhongmu City, which was also to remind Tian Ding that if it weren't for Tian Feiyan's face, no matter whether Tian Wei could escape or not, the matter of Qi Jizheng would be sent to Yingzheng.
Later, Tian Ding also heard it, although it was not clear whether he had evidence to prove that Tian Wei participated in the assassination of Zhongmu City, but he was also afraid.
However, he still did not respect Tian Feiyan and contacted him.
"General, this is news from Yanmen!"
After a long time, Bai Yan was about to go back to the study, when he saw three soldiers wearing hats and still getting wet, hurriedly coming to Bai Yan.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Yan looked at the three soldiers with rain on their faces and all over their bodies, and frowned slightly.
It was obviously a rain ride all the way.
"My subordinates don't know!"
The soldier at the head heard Bai Yan's inquiry, and said with his hand, during the movements, the rain was falling from his arms, and the entire area around his feet was already wet.
And the general turned around, and under Bai Yan's gaze, he took out two rolls of bamboo slips from the wooden box of the soldier beside him, and then carefully held them over and handed them to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan took the two rolls of bamboo slips, turned his head and shouted to the servant standing in the corner in the distance.
"Someone!"
After Bai Yan waited for the servant to come, he instructed the three soldiers to follow the servant down to change clothes, receive the reward money, and after resting, he went to the restaurant for recreation.
"No!
”
"No, General Xie!"
When the three soldiers heard Bai Yan's words, the hard work of the journey seemed to have dissipated, although they were loyal to Bai Yan, they were also human beings, they were away all the year round, and they rarely could go home, so they naturally wanted to relax and enjoy.
Bai Yan looked at the smiles on the cheeks of the three soldiers, and asked the three of them to go down to rest earlier.
These small favors are nothing to Bai Yan, but Bai Yan, who has been poor, knows that these small favors are for soldiers who have families, wives and daughters, but they are reluctant to take out money all year round.
Put a roll of bamboo slips on the wooden fence of the corridor, and open one of the scrolls, it was a letter from Wei Lao, it turned out that Wei Lao had received the news from Linzi and knew that among the envoys to Qin, there was Lin Anshun.
Lin Anshun was brought up by Wei Lao since he was a child, and it can be said that he regarded it as his own, and Lin Anshun has always regarded Wei Lao as his closest person, and he can't wait to give Wei Lao everything, but Wei Lao likes idle clouds and wild cranes, and when he left Qi State, Wei Lao returned to Zhao from Jucheng.
And the second volume of bamboo slips is Xun Shuo's.
After reading its content, Bai Yan suddenly grinned, and his smile became more and more happy.
Tian Ding sent an envoy to Qin this time, and brought two people, one was Jucheng City Order, Lin Anshun, the doctor of Qi State, and the other was Xunzhou of the Xun family, and Hou Yao was asked by Hou Sheng to follow Tian Ding.
Now Hou Yao is already close to him, and the other two, one is Lin Anshun, who Wei Lao brought up from childhood, and the other is Xun Shuo's brother.
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips.
In an instant, looking at the rain in front of me and the endless rain over the yard, I suddenly felt that it was not so gloomy.
