Chapter Ninety-Eight: Imprisonment
Yu Songbai, the imperial history of the city patrol, was taken out of bed by someone in bed.
Looking at his men sleepily, he yawned and asked, "But where is the fire?"
"My lord, it's not a fire, it's an accident! There was a Shen woman who killed someone in front of us in the yamen!"
Yu Songbai yawned halfwayn, and his chin almost fell off his face and hit the ground.
"What is the woman's origin?"
"No, I don't know! She said that she was going to denounce Hu Hui, who turned herself in tonight, and we pulled Hu Hui out for her to identify, and she actually took out a knife from her sleeve and killed someone!"
"Huhui?" With his pants in his hand, Yu Songbai tilted his head and glanced at his subordinates, "Is it the nephew of the Hu family?"
"It's him. This time he turned himself in, saying that he had killed a prostitute."
A prostitute?
Yu Songbai didn't take it to heart.
After putting on his pants and shoes, his subordinates had already held his official hat in their hands and put on soap boots, Yu Songbai's brows furrowed slightly:
"The surname is Shen, and the two Shen brothers in the Shen Mansion in Xifang were personally investigated by the people from the West Factory, do you remember?"
"Subordinates remember."
"It is said that they used the Shen Mansion to gamble, and the Shen Mansion should also be confiscated, and as a result, there is another amount of occupation of other people's property in the document......
Yu Songbai was holding the official robe on his body, and his mind was spinning quickly.
For petty officials like them who are dealing with public order in Yanjing City, the most important thing is to sort out all the relevant relationships under their rule, and they must not offend people who should not be offended because they judge the case because of a momentary will.
The two brothers of the Shen family have been implicated in the deputy commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, which can be regarded as a major case under Yu Songbai's rule, and it has not been completely concluded until now, of course Yu Songbai remembers it clearly.
"Is there anything involved between the Shen family and this Shen brother?"
"My subordinates will send someone to investigate."
"Don't just look into this one." Yu Songbai stopped the person again, "That woman killed someone in the court, either crazy or ruthless, find out her origin carefully, and then find someone from her husband's family or her mother's family!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Finally put on an official uniform, Yu Songbai didn't want to put on the official hat in the mirror, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark mirror.
He looked at his men again:
"Do you think this official is wearing this hat properly?"
The subordinate half-bent his legs and tilted his head to look carefully for a while before saying, "The left side of your hat is slightly higher."
Left?
Yu Songbai raised his left hand and pressed the hat on his left.
The subordinate was anxious: "My lord, it's the villain's left, your right!"
Yu Songbai hurriedly pressed the hat on the other side of him again, angry and anxious:
"You little man, where is your left and right?"
——
In the lobby of the Xicheng Procuratorate, a chair was placed in front of Zhao Surui, who had killed someone.
He was not polite, and sat down as soon as his ass fell.
The four rats looked at the style of this "Shen Niangzi" and sighed in their hearts.
"Mrs. Shen, my master has something important tomorrow, and I really can't take care of you, why do you want to do it today?"
Zhao Surui didn't raise his eyes, and pointed with his toes in the direction where Hu Hui's corpse was horizontal: ....
"How can such pickled goods deserve to live one more day? Besides, what do I do with ...... What does it matter?"
When Shen Sanfu could hear his heart, he said that he would only send Hu Hui to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Suddenly, Zhao Surui laughed.
At first, it was just a "poof" and then a laugh.
Shen Sanwaste! How could she have thought of it? He pretended to be in front of her, as if he didn't care.
The result? He, Zhao Surui, raised his hand and killed someone!
Hahahaha!
Hahaha!
That Shen Sanfu must have thought that he was Shen at this time
Eat and sleep peacefully in the house, right? Maybe he thinks that he, the emperor who is used to playing tricks on power, has long forgotten about a person's death!
He doesn't!
Shen Sanwaste! She hurt him! She scolded him! She ridiculed him for not even being a man! What a person! It's just a reckless man with courage and no strategy, but a puppet who thinks he has some ambition, who wouldn't do it? He just wants to show Shen Sanqu! He is disdainful! It's not that it can't!
"Four rats, you take the people with you. Since I killed someone in the court, I naturally handed it over to Yousi to deal with, so why are you standing here?"
Hearing Shen Niangzi casually shouting that she had broken her identity, the heads of the four rats lowered a little more.
"Mrs. Shen, my master always keeps you in mind."
As soon as he said this, the four rats saw Shen Niangzi, who was calm and crazy just now, raise her head suddenly:
"You can eat things indiscriminately, but don't talk nonsense! What to take to heart! What kind of foolish are you talking about?"
Whether it is a sinister villain such as Shen Sanqu who always takes him Zhao Surui to heart, or Zhao Surui, who is the king of a country, who takes a sinister villain Shen Sanrui to heart, it is all nonsense!
Scary nonsense!
Emperor Zhaode, who killed people without blinking, couldn't help but shudder, and waved his hand to the four rats and said:
"Hurry up!"
The four rats looked up at the yamen, then at a few officials who were stopped by the Xichang fanzi, and finally lowered their heads and said:
"Mrs. Shen, there is always something big for you, I will always take care of it, you might as well go back and rest early......
"I'm not going." Raising his eyes to look at the great eunuch he used to be the most useful in the past, Zhao Surui smiled coldly, "What can you bear for me? What shall I have for you to bear for me? I'm just killing someone who deserves to be killed, and it's not you who do it...... It can be determined."
The tip of his tongue touched his teeth, and the words "cats, dogs, and beasts" that he was used to saying did not come out in the end, and he changed his words and said:
"Since you have become a brave and unscrupulous horseman, you must do it for a few more days, and you go back and tell the people who let you come that I still dare to kill people without what I rely on. Kill those who deserve to be killed."
Knowing that this Shen Niangzi was the person that the emperor put in his heart, the four rats did not dare to disobey easily, and withdrew with people but did not go far, only guarded at the intersection not far away, and some familiar subordinates around him asked softly:
"Chief, should we report to the palace?"
The four rats shook their heads: "Tomorrow on the winter solstice, the emperor will sacrifice to the sky, such a major event is in front, and the rest must be pressed back until morning, if nothing happens, I will go back to the palace, and you will take people to continue to guard."
After a pause, the four rats said:
"Mrs. Shen has His Majesty's blue eyes, although she has not yet entered the palace, but His Majesty's thoughts on her are not inferior to those of the lady in the palace, do you understand the meaning?" ….
"The little one understands, the manager can rest assured, the little one will never let Mrs. Shen make a mistake."
Yu Songbai rushed to the government office in a double sedan chair in the snow, and saw that his official office was brightly lit.
He hurriedly got off the sedan chair, and saw the officials standing at the door of the lobby and did not dare to move, and his heart suddenly swelled with anger:
"But a corpse, how can it scare you like this?"
Say it! He turned around and glanced at the corpse of Hu Hui in the main hall, and was immediately startled.
He didn't remember Hu Hui's face for a long time, but this person died a really miserable death.
Black blood on his neck spurted all over the place.
Looking down again, seeing the knife inserted in the root of evil, Yu Songbai couldn't help but clamp his leg.
This kind of death, there is nothing that a man does not feel pain when he sees it.
A chair was placed in the hall, and a woman wearing a swallow-tailed green horse skirt was wrapped in a silver rat robe, and wore a plain beaded hairpin on her head, sitting on the chair with her feet cocked.
Yu Songbai was stunned for a while, he used to be a county official, and he was still an inferior county that had been plagued by bandits for many years.
"You, the Shen who killed people in the court?"
He opened his mouth to ask.
Unexpectedly, the woman who seemed to be weak or even weak even had an eyelid
didn't bother to move, and asked him in turn:
"You, who is in charge of the imperial history of the city patrol of this yamen? Then let me ask you, this Hu will do all kinds of evil in Yanjing City, why do you keep letting him do trouble? What is your role as a city patrolman?"
Obviously, he was in charge of the Yamen of the Procuratorate for almost a year, but Yu Songbai couldn't help but be in a trance, as if the other party was the high-ranking Qingtian Master, and he was just a criminal official who was about to be convicted.
The momentum was taken away by others, and his speech was a little weaker:
"Shen, it's the official who is talking to you!"
"Patrol the city, be in charge of law and order, and decide on lawsuits, Hu Hui is just a cousin in the fire armor team, and he can keep him stable for so many years, is it possible that your successive city patrols are all wastes of corpse vegetarian meals? Or are you all fed a fat stomach and forget that you still have a court on your head?"
There was blood on the skirt, Zhao Surui caught a glimpse, and he was glad that he didn't stain the new clothes.
But he felt unlucky, so he simply covered it with the clothes in his hand, and he couldn't see it.
With his hands in his sleeves, he said in a deep voice:
"Shen Xianru and Shen Shouru have been gambling for several years, you don't care. There are dense prostitutes near the front street of Guanyin Temple, you don't care. Hu Hui, such a thing that has lost his conscience, by turning himself in, exonerated himself, you will pretend. Are you talking to me? Do you still have the face to talk to me? Don't you have a bronze mirror at home? There's ice outside, there's urine in the pit, why don't you find a place to ask yourself? Have you ever been a good officer? Are you worthy of the people under your rule? Have you given the people some peace under your rule? Well? Have you asked?"
The woman's voice was not high-pitched, and it was even a little hoarse compared to ordinary women, but it was like a knife after knife, stabbing at Yu Songbai's body.
He was annoyed and angry, and no woman had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
"Roaring court! You're roaring in court! You are so arrogant that a woman who has committed murder in front of the court! This official will not tolerate it! Come! Take her down and punish her with twenty rods!" ….
In the roar of the pine and cypress, his subordinates did not dare to move.
A man approached cautiously and whispered a few words in Songbai's ear.
Yu Songbai's eyes widened in horror.
This woman actually has a relationship with the West Factory?
Zhao Surui guessed what they were doing, sneered, he flicked his sleeves, revealing the stars in front of him that were splashed by Hu Hui's blood, and pointed at the knife on Hu Hui's body again:
"I killed the person, and the certified physical evidence is there, if you let someone arrest me as soon as you come in, I will still look at you."
Yu Songbai, who was still angry, had already changed his face at this time:
"Mrs. Shen, don't get me wrong, this official is just asking as usual, you don't want to say it, now that the case has been clarified, this nonsense was not killed by Madame, and it will be over at this time, come on, send Madam Shen out."
Get out?
Even if he knew that these officials were rudder and obscene and shameless, Zhao Surui couldn't help but set his eyes on Yu Songbai's face.
"Hu Hui was killed by me, and I killed him with my own hands with a knife in the lobby of this inspection of the Xicheng Procuratorate."
"Madame laughed!" Yu Songbai was still smiling, "Hu Hui has done a lot of evil, a murderer, and he was arrested by the official of my procuratorate today, and it happened that his wife came to complain, he actually intended to attack and kill his wife, and the official accidentally shot him to death, in the end, he was to blame, and what does it have to do with his wife?"
It's just a western factory, and it's so frightening.
It's just a seven-grade city patrol imperial history, and he actually pointed to a deer as a horse in such a murder case.
Hao Hao Yanjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
What a joke.
Laughing angrily, Zhao Surui became more and more calm and idle: "I said, I killed the person, according to the "Dayong Law", you should find out my identity, ask the reason, and then sign and draw the charge, and then send me to the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, and then submit the file. Why, you can't even be an official?"
Yu Songbai: "......"
He said before that women can kill people in court
Is it crazy or ruthless, the woman in front of her is crazy and ruthless, like a living Yama, it is really terrifying.
He even regretted why he had to come here overnight, just pretending to be stupid all night, anyway, tomorrow His Majesty sacrificed to the sky, they also had to go to the streets to patrol, so that in another day, this woman would be bored and leave, and he didn't have to be scolded and embarrassed here.
This person, if he is closed, he will definitely eat and hang.
If he doesn't close, he'll eat now!
"Mrs. Shen, you also said that this Hu will be the most heinous person, and he will die when he dies......
Zhao Surui laughed "ha": "The crime is extremely evil? If there is no Xichang behind me, I am the one who is the most heinous at the moment, then Hu Hui will be a child of a good family who died innocently in vain, am I right? You are a waste who only knows how to drill camps, and you have the ability to reverse black and white, you have the power in your hands, you don't think about serving the country, you only think about how to reap the benefits, how you can not offend people, and abandon the people under the emperor's grace, which is really not as good as waste."
Yu Songbai didn't dare to say anything.
He looked around, but no one dared to look at him, and there was no way for more than a dozen big men in the huge courtyard to take such a weak woman.
After a while, he sighed, bent down and said:
"Mrs. Shen, please take a few days of grievances in prison."
Pei Feng, who had been by Zhao Surui's side, said softly, "Girl, I'll go with you."
"What are you going to? You didn't kill anyone."
Zhao Surui glanced at her:
"Tomorrow, if someone comes to me, tell her that she has lied to me many times, and I have lied to her once, and I will see in prison how she has given justice without using her power."
After speaking, "she" turned around and left, passing by Hu Hui's body on the way, and "she" did not shy away from stepping on it.
——
The snow is still falling.
Outside the courtyard, the four rats held an umbrella.
Under the umbrella, a man in a sable coat stood tall and tall.
"Master, Mrs. Shen hasn't come out yet......
Shen Shiqing didn't speak.
Looking at the closed door of the mansion, she narrowed her eyes slightly, her fingers gently turning under her robe.
After a moment, she smiled.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace."
"Your Majesty?"
The four rats didn't understand a little, His Majesty suddenly rode a fast horse to find this place on this snowy night, why didn't he see Shen Niangzi and didn't say what to do?
Could it be that men and women have to have fun in this yamen when they talk about love before?
Shen Shiqing just turned over and got on the horse.
That Zhao Dasha became a reckless man and a puppet.
Why didn't she force her Shen Shiqing to be an emperor who played with power? .
