Chapter 85: Before he was released from prison, he laughed at Jing Zhaoyin
After Emperor Xuan received the news of Yang Silang's robbery and murder in the Hot Spring Palace, he was shocked and angry; It was only because of the love and affection with Concubine Yi that he suffered a little cold, so he was delayed for two days. When his condition was relieved, he hurried back to Qinghua Palace with Concubine Yi.
After a short rest, Emperor Xuan urgently summoned Yang Silang and King Jing into the palace to see him.
Emperor Xuan looked angry and said to Yang Silang: "I don't know who the gangster is, he dares to assassinate Yang Aiqing in broad daylight, it's really angry!" ”
Yang Silang said: "Back to Your Majesty, this case is still under investigation, and no clues have been found. ”
"This ......," Emperor Xuan frowned, "Have you ever hurt Aiqing?" ”
"Nope." Yang Silang shook his head lightly, "Thanks to Weichen's great life that day, I was fortunate to meet a ranger to report the news, otherwise I would never see you again." ”
"I wonder who saved it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this person is Li Yunhan, the son of Qingcheng."
"Li Yunhan ......" Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment and praised, "Yes, the true righteous are also." ”
When King Jing heard Li Yunhan's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and took a step forward and said: "Father Qi, in the past, his sons were stationed in Jiangling, and he had a close relationship with Qingchengzi on drinking and Taoism; He is rich in learning, strategic, and has a talent for governing the country. ”
"Well, when Jing Lin'er said this, I really want to meet him." Emperor Xuan smiled slightly, and set his eyes on Yang Silang, "Don't worry, Aiqing, no matter who is involved in this case, I will not spare it!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's difficult!" Yang Silang's face sank, "According to the minister, Xian Tong was in a hurry to ask for credit and arrested Li Yunhan to respond, but I didn't know that it was he who saved Weichen that day." ”
"What, Li Yunhan was arrested?" Emperor Xuan looked surprised.
"Your Majesty, if you want to find out the truth, why don't you summon Xian Tong to ask?"
King Jing understood the meaning of Yang Silang's words, and bowed his head slightly to Emperor Xuan and said: "Father, Xian Tong has always had a bad reputation, it is said that after he became Jing Zhaoyin, there were many rumors of speculation and corruption, and the people of the capital complained about it. ”
"Hmph, he's really lawless!" Emperor Xuan was furious when he heard this, and immediately issued an order to summon Xian Tong into the palace to see him.
Jingzhao Mansion, inside the prison.
Li Yunhan was punished with a cane, and his body was in pain, and he endured the pain and sat up straight. While leaning against the wall and worrying, he suddenly heard a sound of the prison door, so he reluctantly raised his head, only to see Xian Tong swaggering in, sneering: "It's been so long, Mr. should have figured it out; Say, what are you doing in Heifengyu? ”
Li Yunhan ignored it, lowered his head and closed his eyes silently.
"I'm really sorry for Mr." Xian Tong sighed, "When someone asked about this case, it's a pity that Mr. has died of illness in prison......"
"How dare you hurt me......"
"Then it depends on whether the gentleman is willing to cooperate or not." Xian Tong's face showed a smug expression, "The confession has been written for you, and I am waiting for you to draw it." ”
Li Yunhan got up and scolded angrily: "Dog officer, you can't die a good death if you don't care about people's lives!" ”
"Hmph, it looks like the fight was lighter." Xian Tong shouted out the door, and then walked in with Lei An and the two jailers. Lei An shook the piece of paper in his hand and shouted: "Paint, Lao Tzu will reward you with a whole corpse; Otherwise, you'll have enough ......."
Li Yunhan scolded angrily: "A group of villains are embarrassed...... Don't! ”
Before he could finish speaking, two jailers pounced on him, grabbed him by the arm, and pushed him to the ground.
Xian Tong saw that Li Yunhan desperately resisted and refused to draw the charge, so he ordered someone to pry open his mouth and stuff the seven-step pill into it.
Lei An and the two jailers tried a lot of effort, but it was still difficult to succeed.
During the stalemate, a servant ran into the prison cell in a panic, saying that he was sent to see him.
Before Xian Tong could go out, Na Qincha had already stepped into the house and conveyed Emperor Xuan's edict to him in person, saying that the saint was very angry at his unwarranted detention of Li Yunhan, and ordered him to enter the palace immediately to report the assassination of Yang Silang.
Xian Tong was dumbfounded after hearing this. He eased his mind, glanced at Lei An, and told him to treat Li Yunhan well and not make mistakes.
Subsequently, Xian Tong was released from prison and rushed to Qinghua Palace with the little yellow gate.
Entering the palace, Xian Tong visited Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan looked at him silently for a while, his eyes
Some people are a little eerie, and ask him how the investigation of Heifengyu's case is?
Xian Tong had already thought of his words halfway through, and said unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the preliminary investigation of the ministers, those robbers are all dressed in soapy robes and holding full moon scimitars; The minister thought that most of them were Hu people who robbed money. ”
King Jing sneered when he heard this: "There are more Hu people in this Chang'an City, there are more than 100,000 people living in Beijing alone, how can Lord Xian conclude that they did it just by his clothes and appearance!" ”
"Lord Xian is really good at making up stories," Yang Silang laughed twice at Xian Tongyin, "I'm afraid that before the case is solved, Yang's head will be gone." ”
Xian Tong was stunned and asked him what he meant by this?
Yang Silang said angrily: "Do you still need to ask? They are not robbing money, but they are trying to take the life of their true appearance! ”
Xian Tong's body trembled when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while.
Emperor Xuan asked him, why did he arrest Li Yunhan?
Xian Tong said that according to the mountain people's report, Li Yunhan had been to Heifengyu on the day of the crime, so he was brought back for questioning.
Yang Silang looked disdainful when he heard this, and said: "That's right, Li Yunhan did go to Heifengyu that day, but he went to save Yang." ”
Xian Tong panicked in his heart when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while.
"It's ridiculous!" Emperor Xuan glared angrily, "Xian Tong, you have disappointed me too much. ”
Xian Tong trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that he would go back and release Li Yunhan.
Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment and ordered him to solve the case within ten days; If there is a delay, the punishment for both crimes will not be lenient at that time!
Xian Tong received the order and left the palace in a gloomy manner.
At this time, a little yellow door hurriedly stepped forward, saying that Ji Wen asked to see him and report clues about the assassination of Yang. Emperor Xuan frowned when he heard this, nodded and agreed.
After a while, Ji Wen arrived in front of the palace, and Emperor Xuan asked him what clues he had?
Ji Wen presented a water bladder and said, "Your Majesty, the minister found this bag at the scene of the crime, and the minister thought that if he found the owner, he could find the real murderer." ”
Emperor Xuan said "um", took the water bladder and looked at it carefully, and read the above verse casually: "The wilderness looks at the small people, and the sky is full of birds," and then exclaimed, "How is Cen Shen's thing......"
"That's right, there is an inscription poem in the bag as proof, so it can be proved that the lost owner is Cen Shen." Ji Wen said in a loud voice.
"Cen Shen, what did he do when he went to Heifengyu?" Emperor Xuan's brows furrowed.
"Your Majesty, this is where the minister is confused." Ji Wen paused, "Just because he is from the East Palace, he has always been arrogant and domineering, and the ministers dare not arrest and interrogate." ”
"What are you afraid of, this case is related to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who is involved, it will not be tolerated!" Emperor Xuan immediately ordered Ji Wen to arrest Cen Shen and investigate the case; If there is any disobedience to the order, severe punishment will not be granted!
Ji Wennuo sighed, and the order hurried away.
Jingzhao Mansion, inside the prison.
A jailer carefully brought a basin of hot water and helped Li Yunhan scrub his face with a pleasant face. Then another jailer came in, and brought a clean new fine silk dress for Li Yunhan to change. Li Yunhan was quite confused when he saw it, and hurriedly asked why?
"Congratulations, sir, you're getting out of prison." The jailer smiled all over his face, "This new dress was given by Gongzi Chu, please change into it." ”
Li Yunhan was anxious when he heard this, and said, "What is Young Master Chu; Don't change, don't change. ”
The two jailers tried to persuade him a few more times, but when they couldn't convince him, they couldn't move forward or retreat for a while.
After a stalemate for a while, they suddenly heard a loud laugh outside the door, and when everyone looked up, they saw Chu Qing striding in, stepped forward to give Li Yunhan a deep salute, and said respectfully: "Brother, I'm sorry, my little brother is late." ”
Li Yunhan snorted and twisted his head to the side.
Chu Qing said again: "The little brother has been dredged, take the elder brother home." ”
"If you want me to go, it's not difficult, go and call Xian Tong!" Li Yunhan said with a solemn face.
Chu Qing was embarrassed when he heard this.
"If he doesn't come, then I won't leave." Li Yunhan said and sat on the ground.
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, and shouted at the jailer: "Idiot, don't go and call Master Xian quickly." ”
The jailer had no choice but to go to see Xian Tong.
After a while, Xian Tong entered the cell, arched his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, this matter is purely a misunderstanding, Xian is polite." ”
"Hypocrisy!"
"Sir, there's nothing to do, you can go."
"Of course there's something." Li Yunhan glared angrily, "You still owe me hundreds of slaps." ”
Xian Tong immediately understood when he heard this, and apologized repeatedly: "Sir, forgive me, Xian knows that he is wrong." ”
"If you are wrong, you should admit punishment!"
"This ......" Xian Tong was speechless for a while.
Chu Qing said angrily at Xian Tong: "You bullied your brother? ”
"No, no," Xian Tong shuddered, and said to Li Yunhan again, "Mr. Yaliang, please bear with me!" ”
"If you don't hit you, you can do it." Li Yunhan closed his eyes as he spoke, "Then I won't leave!" ”
Chu Qing glared and said, "Lord Xian, you can do it." ”
Xian Tong was stunned for a moment, raised his hand ruthlessly and slapped himself, while saying: "The official is wrong, wrong......"
Xian Tong slapped it more than a dozen times in a row, feeling a burning pain in his face, so he stopped his hand and begged: "Sir, spare me, I won't dare to offend you next time......
"That's fine." Li Yunhan stood up with a smile, pointed to the new clothes on the side, and asked Xian Tong to help him put them on.
Xian Tong hurriedly agreed, and respectfully helped him get dressed.
After Ji Wen received the order, he left Qinghua Palace, and then took Tong Li and a group of servants to Shaoyang Palace. He led people to rush into the palace and arrested Cen Shen in front of the prince and others.
As soon as Cen Shen entered the prison of Dali Temple, he was immediately interrogated.
Ji Wen took out the water bladder and asked, but it was his?
Cen Shen was stunned for a moment and said yes.
"Tell me, what did you do when you went to Heifengyu that day?"
"Outing."
"Outing ......" Ji Wen sneered twice, "Someone saw you kill with their own eyes." ”
"Nonsense, I didn't!"
Ji Wen shook the water bladder and said, "You robbed and killed Lord Yang, with this physical evidence, you dare to be hard-mouthed!" ”
Cen Shen said angrily: "You don't want to frame and harm people!" ”
"Don't want to recruit?" Tong Li picked up a red-hot soldering iron, put it close to Cen Shen's cheek, and shouted angrily, "As long as you enter this prison, there is no mouth that Lao Tzu can't pry open." ”
Seeing that Cen Shen's face was fearless, Ji Wen waved his hand lightly and motioned for Tong Li to retreat: "Cen joins the army, as long as you say who instructed you, this official will definitely open up to you." ”
"I'm traveling alone, what do I have to do with others!"
"Say, but on the orders of the prince?"
Cen Shen was silent.
"Don't pretend, since the last time Mintai was robbed, the official has been suspicious of him." Ji Wen patted him lightly on the shoulder, "You, don't carry it for him anymore, so as not to suffer from this flesh and skin." ”
Cen Shen snorted and said, "You dare to force a confession!" ”
Ji Wen saw that he couldn't soften, and turned his head to wink. Tong immediately led someone to rush up, and pressed Cen Shen to the ground and beat him with a stick.
Cen Shen was in unbearable pain and screamed again and again.
At this time, an errand came to report, saying that the steward Hu asked to see him. It turned out that after Lin Fu learned that Li Yunhan was pardoned by Emperor Xuan, he hurriedly sent a housekeeper to discuss countermeasures.
Ji Wen got out of the prison cell, and when he learned that Li Yunhan had been released from prison, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Steward Hu said: "Master Ji, since Li Yunhan has been released, how can Cen Shen be convicted!" ”
"Alas, why shouldn't Ji worry about this." Ji Wen drooped his face, "When Li Yunhan was arrested, Ji wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that Gongzi Chu would be indecisive and delayed." ”
"Now, no matter what, we must get Cen Shen's confession as soon as possible; As long as the confession is in hand, Lin Xiang has his own way to persuade His Majesty to take the prince for the crime. Steward Hu's eyes showed a fierce light and said.
Ji Wen nodded. He returned to the cell, and when he saw that Cen Shen still refused to confess, he ordered him to increase the punishment again.
Cen Shen was severely punished and passed out on the spot......
