Chapter 108: Intrigue and Trickery, Step by Step Calculation
Hearing the word Zhang Xian, Zhao Tan smiled: "Zhang Xian, it's really a good name, by the way, Longyou brought a gift back, you all have a share, call someone to send it over later." ”
When the little lady heard this, she was immediately restrained, bowed her head and said, "Don't dare to ask for anything from the prince." ”
Zhao Ta said: "Everyone has a share, if you shirk, it is not beautiful." ”
After he finished speaking, he left, and went out of the house to see two maids coming, there were five or six maids in the palace, except for sending tea and food on weekdays, no one served, at most only for cleaning the room.
When the maid saw the salute, he called to follow, and then went to Su Shi to let the maid carry something to the backyard, and then said to Su Shi: "Order people and this king to go to the criminal department." ”
Su Shi didn't know what was going on, and when he heard this, he immediately ordered ten guards who were riding the dragon, and Zhao Ta didn't ride a horse, but took a car and went straight to the criminal department.
At this moment, in the palace of King Yun, Zhao Kai is sitting behind the desk painting, his brushwork is delicate and sophisticated, painting is a picture of birds and stones, next to the strange boulder, there are green vines wrapped around the tree, a bird is standing on the vine scratching its feet, tilting its head and staring at an insect, as if pondering to eat it immediately, or wait for the next meal.
The picture is vivid, Zhao Kai is in a hurry, someone outside suddenly asked to see, Zhao Kai called in to listen to the man After speaking, he smiled: "I am in such a hurry, I don't know what color that little lady is, and even a brother in cloth clothes has to be maintained." ”
Come to the human: "Lord, how to do it?" ”
Zhao Kai said: "If he kills my concubine's brother, I will kill the little lady's brother, this matter is to come back before I start to show him, and it is good to slap him in the face, otherwise how can Tan Zhen's rough embryo be stopped so far." ”
Come and say: "Over at the Criminal Department?" ”
Zhao Kai said: "Kaifeng Mansion doesn't know each other, and according to the law, he is sentenced to death in a brawl but exiled, so how can he get it?" Always deliberately kills people, so that he can't live, the case is closed today, and there are witnesses, and the evidence proves that he is dead! ”
Come to the humane: "Go to the prison to pick up people, just cut them down!" ”
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Go so quickly." ”
The Criminal Department is not resting today, but there are few people scattered in front of the gate, Zhao Ta's carriage stopped and suddenly thought of something, and said to Su Shi: "Go to the prison first and bring people out." ”
The prison of the Criminal Department is not outside the city, just behind the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, a semi-dungeon structure, which is divided into eight cells, a total of hundreds of rooms, which are rarely used after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, and it is becoming more and more cold in this dynasty.
This is not to say how clear the emperor is in this dynasty, but because he is dim, he can dredge it with money, except for big cases as subsidies, basically few people are sent here.
When the carriage came to the near side, Zhao Ta got out of the car and took a look, there was a group of forbidden troops patrolling here, the number of people was not more than five or six, far from being compared with the time of the fight, so he summoned it.
Where did the forbidden army in the capital not know him, came to bow down, Zhao Ta said: "Guarding the door of this prison department, no one is allowed to enter or leave, just say what this king means." ”
The forbidden army received the order, Zhao Ta arrived at the door, and the two jailers guarding the door were quite eye-catching, and came over to salute, saying, "This lord ......"
Su Shi pulled them aside with a scabbard: "King Qi is doing things, and the acquaintance is behind!" ”
The jailer was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was dragged aside by the forbidden soldiers, but they were also obedient, not shouting or screaming, covering their heads and squatting on the ground.
Su Shi said: "The prince has a golden body and a noble body, just go in with such pickled local subordinates." ”
Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "Where is all this nonsense, just go straight." ”
Su Shi opened the road in front of him, this prison of the Criminal Department was half underground, and there was still light from outside when he first entered, and he went deeper and relied on oil lamps to illuminate.
There were two more posts in the passage, one was interesting and the other was verbose, and the verbose ones were knocked aside by the guards, and they only came to the cell head to ask.
The cell boss complained bitterly in his heart, he knew something, but his own family was like a mustard in the wind, how could he be his own master.
Zhao Ta said: "Where is Zhang Xian?" ”
The cell leader said: "The word No. 2, the iron claw catcher is interrogating!" ”
Zhao Ta's face sank: "Lead the way!" ”
The cell boss got up and hurried forward, and after a short time came to a cell, where he saw an oil lamp lit in the fence and two pots of charcoal fire, which were shining brightly red.
There was a young man hanging with his hands tied, the young man looked young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was pale at the moment, his eyes were closed, his clothes were ragged, and the marks of the whip were obvious.
A man dressed in black in front of him was burning an iron claw-like torture instrument in a charcoal basin, the torture instrument was burned red, and I saw an excited smile on the corner of the man's mouth: "Little brother, it doesn't matter if you draw it or not, even if you die in this prison, it is also a crime-fearing end, whoever makes you offend the big man has to blame fate!" ”
Zhao Ta looked at where there were tools for writing and painting in this cell, and knew in his heart that this head catcher was deliberately abusing him, and said coldly: "Take it!" ”
Su Shi took two guards to break the cell door and went to catch the head catcher iron claw, the iron claw was frightened and jumped up to resist, but where was Su Shi's opponent, he had already pressed to the ground, and then put down the young man, and hung the head catcher like a gourd.
Iron Claw only came back to his senses at this time, shouting for mercy, Su Shi looked at him and smiled: "It's called Iron Claw?" Now it doesn't matter if you beg for mercy or not, even dying in this prison is also a crime-fearing end, whoever makes you offend the big guy, you have to blame fate! ”
Iron Claw's eyes widened, wasn't this what he had just said? How can retribution be so fast? Fate is really unfair to this handful of birds! He saw Su Shi pick up the burning red iron claw and stretched it out, and his throat whimpered twice for a while, where did he have anything to say.
Su Shi is not as good as Huang Gu and others, and his family is also a noble background, in fact, the heads and brains of the classes have some backgrounds, and Yulongzhi is even more so, although he belongs to the front division of the palace, he is the most difficult kind of person to manipulate.
He is bold, and he has a little less scruples than Tan Zhen to do things, otherwise he would not have been in the lobby of the front of the palace that time, rolled up the white tiger skin and left, and now he is figuring out Zhao Ta's intentions, and it is nothing to clean up a headcatcher who has no eye.
Zhao Ta didn't care about him, looked at the young man who put him down, but if he looked closely, he was very angry, but now he was tortured and lost some strength.
The young man barely opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Ta, his eyes confused.
Zhao Ta said: "Zhang Xian? ”
The young man's voice was weak, "Yes, I don't know ......"
Zhao Ta nodded: "Don't talk again, cultivate your strength first." ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the forbidden soldier suddenly ran down, and when he saw Zhao Ta, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, the people from the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Imperial City Division are here, and the subordinates can't stop it." ”
Zhao Ta narrowed his eyes and said, "Imperial City Division? Sure enough, once he had the power in his hand, he gave the order to do it, and the third brother was a thief! ”
