When he came out of the edict prison, it was already evening, and he stayed in the dark dungeon for four or five hours, and then returned to the ground, Xia Yuanzhi felt like a world away, and at the same time, his heart was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

I dealt with seventeen prisoners, and at first they came one by one, and then two, three, or even five together.

The amount of effort can be imagined.

There are 583 convicts and more than 560 convicts, which will be an extremely large workload.

But there is no way, in order to change the law in the future, when the law is reformed, these people can move forward and become a sword in the hands of a sword that is sharp and will not devour the master.

It is necessary to break down their psychological defenses one by one, first let them fall into endless despair, and then let them see hope.

Let them know that they are now standing on a dead end, there is no way back, and they cannot retreat, or they will wear perseverance and determination to survive in death and seize that glimmer of hope.

or die, and even his wife and children will suffer.

They are all officials, all of them have become officials through the imperial examination, and they are not intellectually defective, and they know how to choose.

With a sigh, Xia Yuan asked the Jinyi guards around him, "Have you written down the names of the dozen or so convicts interrogated today?" ”

The deputy of the brocade guard, Qianhu, replied: "Back to the words of the lord, I wrote it down." According to the orders of the adults, every time a prisoner is tried, a circle will be placed on his roster. ”

"Give these people a thick bedding, three meals a day, no more stale rice, not only food, but also vegetables, if there is a slight deduction, or someone eats bad stomach."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of my humble duties."

Seeing that the eyes of this lord swept over, a group of brocade guards hurriedly responded, and then the deputy Qianhu asked again: "The prisoner of the remaining hundreds of people"

"I will also be given a thick bedding, but only one meal a day, and the official will come tomorrow, and when the time comes, which one will be adjusted to three meals a day after the trial."

"Also, let all these prisoners come up from the dungeon every day, breathe in this compound, and give a stick of incense every day to breathe the air."

"A stick of incense?"

"Embarrassing you?"

"That's not true, the lowly position means that since these prisoners are all used by His Majesty, should it be discretionary?"

"Whatever the situation, people have been in the dark for a long time, and they see such a little light every day, and this heart longs for this light, and every day they think about this and look forward to this. The days are long, and when I really come out of prison in the future, I will always cherish the light and yearn for the sunshine. ”

Hearing this explanation, everyone present was worried in their hearts, this adult's heart was really dirty.

If you don't give you ventilation, it's actually nothing, and you'll get used to staying in a dark dungeon for a long time.

And if you give too long to breathe, you will not care about the light outside.

But just give such a little every day, every day I will think about it, the days are long, and my heart will be tossed out of something, in short, I will definitely have a crazy thirst for this light.

If you close it for a few months according to this method, and when you are really released from the dungeon, in order to live in the light all the time, you will definitely be honest and obedient.

Some people even secretly recalled whether they usually spoke respectfully enough, and whether they had touched the adult's moldy head.

The heart is too dirty.

Xia Yuan didn't know that these people were slandering him, and even if he knew, it didn't matter, and then said: "When the time comes, what are you going to tell these criminals about this matter?" ”

The brocade guards looked at each other, and then the deputy Qianhu arched his hand and said, "I'll just say that the lord ordered it." ”

"What did the lord order, it was the official who asked His Majesty, and His Majesty was gracious, so he made an exception, understand?"

"Humble duty understands."

"Also, after these convicts come up, they are not allowed to talk, you arrange more people to keep an eye on them, and if anyone talks and discusses, they will be punished for three days and not allowed to breathe the wind, remember, you must keep an eye on him."

If you don't talk or communicate, your heart will be stable, and you will be able to concentrate on enjoying the rare ventilation time.

Xia Yuan felt that he was really thoughtful about this group of prisoners, and when this group of brocade guards responded loudly, he asked again: "Do you still remember what this official said to the same group of prisoners during today's interrogation?" ”

"I can remember."

A Jinyi Wei Baihu just wanted to answer, but was smacked by the deputy Qianhu with his elbow, and then the Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu directly knelt on one knee and replied loudly: "If you go back to your lordship, you can't remember a word of humility!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Jinyi guards reacted in hindsight, and they all immediately knelt on one knee, "If you go back to your lordship, you can't remember a word of humility." ”

The Jinyi Wei Baihu, who said the wrong thing at the beginning, said with a serious face: "Don't hide it from adults, you have a poor memory since you were a child, and you forget everything when you turn your head." ”

"It's good to have a bad memory, the most troublesome thing in this world is that your memory is too good, and your mouth is not strict."

Hearing this, all the brocade guards looked awe-inspired, "Don't worry, my lord, I don't have any other skills, but this mouth is very strict, I don't know anything, I don't know anything, I don't remember anything." ”

"One more thing, you have found out the situation in the homes of these hundreds of prisoners, right?"

"Got it figured out."

"Go get it to me."

"Please wait a moment."

A brocade-clothed guard answered, got up from the ground, turned around and went to a public house, and when he came out again, he already had a very thick booklet in his hand.

Xia Yuan took it and flipped through it, which recorded the situation of each prisoner in detail.

The Ming Dynasty is really a dynasty where spies are rampant, if other dynasties want to investigate such hundreds of people, they have to waste a lot of effort.

And it's only been ten days, like what kind of origin, how many people in the family, who they are, parents, wives and children, including where they live in Beijing, they are all clear.

If you look at it roughly, you will find that almost all of these prisoners live in the south or north of the city, which is also normal.

Whether you buy or rent houses in the south and north cities, they are much cheaper than those in the east and west cities.

"Humble and respectful!"

In the midst of the fist-hugging salute of the brocade guards, Xia Yuan turned around and walked out with the booklet.

And when the back walked away, until they got into the carriage and disappeared, the brocade guards seemed to be relieved, looked at each other, and one of the brocade guards said: "Do you say that these civil officials are like this?" One is more calculated than the other, how old is the adult just now, just"

"Shut your mouth!" The Qianhu said with a straight face: "Don't you know that trouble comes from the mouth?" ”

The brocade guards hurriedly shut their mouths again.

And Xia Yuan was already sitting in the carriage and began to close his eyes and recuperate, although he promised to help seventeen people support wives and daughters, but in fact he had to support hundreds of wives and daughters.

Helping so many people raise wives and daughters at once, Boss Cao can't be envious to death?

I really have the legacy of Wei Wu when I step on a horse!
