North Town Fusi, Great Prison.

Since the prison has no doors and windows to ventilate, it is the height of summer, and some of the excrement that has not been cleaned up is emitting a foul smell, causing the air here to be filled with a foul smell.

Sun Jiao sat in the corner of the cell, staring distractedly at the only bright wall.

Since that early dynasty, he was directly ordered by Hongzhi to be imprisoned here, and the golden house in the capital couldn't go back, so he lived this dark life.

His eyebrows are very thick, and he has a first-shaped face that meets the standards of this time, but when he laughs, he will show a treacherous appearance, so he has always maintained a straight image that does not smile.

Perhaps it was this kind of appearance that made him know how to hide himself very early, and also hide his bad thoughts.

He was only eighteen years old when he was raised in Huguangzhong, which can be said to be a young man's ambition, and he was also recognized by Qiu Jun, who was still serving in the Hanlin Academy at that time, and was a high school scholar in Chenghua in the seventeenth year.

Although it took ten years to go from being a person to a jinshi, the ten years in Guozijian allowed him to accumulate a lot of useful contacts and know how to be an official.

Things have proved that he was born to mix officialdom, and when a large group of people were still struggling in the local magistrates of the same year, he had already entered the Ministry of Officials in just a few years, and became a member of the Ministry of Officials and Wenxuan who controlled their life and death.

If there are no accidents, his career will be smooth sailing, and he will become a "virtuous minister" who will be admired by people in this life and future generations.

Although he is an official who is not a Hanlin official, he is destined to have no chance to enter the cabinet, but it is undoubtedly an easy thing to get a six-book book.

It's just that things have taken a major turn for the worse after all, and everything came so suddenly.

Just when they were about to snipe Liu Zhong, the governor of Huguang, together, they couldn't imagine that His Majesty not only did not punish Liu Zhong, but Qiu Jingshun, the governor of Anlu, found out his body.

Now that his future in the Hongzhi Dynasty is in jeopardy, he only hopes that the people outside can work hard as soon as possible to rescue him from this dark cell.

Boom la la la......

There was the sound of chains being pulled from the door, and the cell door was opened, illuminated by a candle.

Sun Jiao saw that the prison door was opened, but he knew that his expectations during this time had not been disappointed, and now the people outside had really rescued him.

In this moment, he smelled freedom.

Although it may be difficult for him to make a comeback in the Hongzhi Dynasty, with his own connections, he will definitely be able to make a comeback in the new dynasty.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, with the officialdom connections he has accumulated over the years, even if he returns to Anlu to recuperate, he can still live the life of a squire leader who dominates the party.

"Come out!" The head of the cell looked like he had just woken up, and shouted to Sun Jiao, who was full of joy.

Sun Jiao realized that his image at the moment must be very embarrassed, and immediately disturbed his messy hair and sorted out his tattered clothes with his hands, and then walked out of this cell proudly.

It is also that this emperor is more powerful now, if it was Emperor Yingzong or Emperor Jingtai in front, he would definitely not have been locked up for so long, and he would have already returned to Anlu to live a life of fine clothes and food.

But now it's not too bad, since I can't be a virtuous minister in the court, it's actually good to return to Anlu Prefecture with the accumulated silver to be a rich man.

"Master Sun, where are you going?" Just as Sun Jiao wanted to walk in the direction of the gate of the prison, a voice with a bit of banter sounded.

Sun Jiao couldn't help but turn his head to look at the small brocade cloth next to him, and suddenly said very puzzledly: "Mu Bin, didn't you release this official?" ”

"Master Sun, what do you want? Just based on the crime you committed, it is light to raid your home and ask for beheading, how can you still think of going out? Mu Bin couldn't help laughing, so he poured cold water on the tunnel.

The two brocade guards who followed Mu Bin didn't expect Sun Jiao to think of such a good thing, and couldn't help but shake their heads gently.

Sun Jiao knew that Mu Bin was Zhu Ji's person, so he immediately lowered his face and said: "Mu Baihu, you don't want to make a big deal of nonsense here to intimidate this official!" This official has already explained very clearly to Du Shangshu and Wang Xiang before, although the official obeyed Xu Pu's arrangement to help him promote his relatives, but Xu Pu is both my teacher and a superior, how dare this official disobey? ”

Things have developed to this point, and he knows that those letters at home are strong evidence to prove himself and Xu Pu, so he can't wash away the fact of dereliction of duty at all.

It's just that now that Xu Pu is dead, then he wants to blame Xu Pu for all the faults, and he is just an accomplice.

How much can an accomplice be convicted? In addition, he has someone who helps in the dark, and at most he will be dismissed from office or cut down to the people.

"Huh...... really played with a wishful thinking, and dared to think that everyone in the world was a fool! Come on, I want to see if his mouth is hard, or if our Beizhen Fusi is hard, and take him to the interrogation room! Mu Bin took a deep look at Sun Jiao, and then waved his hand.

Sun Jiao saw the two brocade-clothed guards walking towards him, and asked angrily, "Mu Bin, what do you want to do?" Do you dare to torture this official? I warn you not to destroy your future! ”

Mu Bin doesn't like the arrogance of these civil officials very much, but this phenomenon is caused by their Jinyiwei.

Since Zhu Ji became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, their Beizhen Fusi has long been biased towards the civilian group, and they have become polite and courteous to the civil officials who come into the Beizhen Fusi.

He finally understood why His Majesty looked down on himself in an important position at the beginning, not to mention His Majesty, who was so weak, even he felt disgusted.

Mu Bin looked at Sun Jiao, who was full of arrogance, and decided to reveal the truth: "Sun Jiao, don't have illusions anymore!" Your Majesty has just issued an order to raid your home, the men will be confiscated into the army, and the women will be admitted to the sect, do you think you still have the qualifications to shout at me? ”

"You dog-legged Hugh is talking nonsense here, where is Commander Zhu? I want to see Commander Zhu......! When Sun Jiao heard this, his complexion changed, and he immediately said angrily.

Burst!

Just as Sun Jiao was shouting, one of the brocade guards threw a punch into Sun Jiao's stomach, causing Sun Jiao to fall to the ground like a shrimp.

Bah!

Another brocade guard spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Sun Jiao's face, and said angrily: "Don't be arrogant, how dare a person who has been robbed of his house and beheaded be so disrespectful to our thousands of households!" ”

"A thousand households?" Sun Jiao covered his sore stomach, although he still didn't want to believe that His Majesty had raided his home, but he couldn't care about wiping off the thick phlegm on his face and said in surprise.

The promotion of Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei is actually not easy, but not everyone has a good aunt like Wang Xiang and Wang Lan, and now Mu Bin must have made a great contribution if he wants to climb a thousand households.

Mu Bin condescendingly looked at Sun Jiao, who was full of shock, and said in a good mood: "The imperial court sent Liu Zhong to Huguang Qingzhang Tianmu was repeatedly blocked, and Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi almost died, causing the imperial court to be suspicious of all high-ranking officials and families in Huguang, and some people even thought that it was caused by the revenge of the king of Chu, but ...... just despised the Sun family, who had been entrenched in Anlu since the founding of the country! ”

This is often the case, there is obviously a lot of suspicion in the An Lu Sun family, but they are ignored by them, and they are getting farther and farther away from the truth for a while.

Hey?

When the two brocade guards heard this, they also cast strange glances at Sun Jiao, but they doubted whether this small member of the Ministry of Literature and Literature was so capable.

Obstructing the imperial court to clear the fields and acres, and assassinating Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi before, this is not something that ordinary families can do.

"My grandson's family has moved to Anlu since the founding of the country, but they have always been law-abiding and have never committed illegal things, so you don't want to talk here!" Sun Jiao's heart immediately sank, and he said angrily.

The corners of Mu Bin's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "This time to snipe the Shenji Battalion led by Wang Zhi, your Anlu family may be really innocent, but your Sun family's side branches are indeed deep enough!" If it weren't for the fact that I have always been more serious in doing things, I always like to sort out the relationship between various personnel, and I really can't find the flaws here, maybe I will be like Wang Zhi who fell into a trap and didn't know it! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Jiao was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and asked.

Mu Bin no longer hid it, and simply said in a direct showdown: "Lord Sun, you are indeed a politician who knows how to speculate and drill camps, and you have entered the center of the ministry in just a few years. Of course, these things are not necessarily your great skills, but you have met two good teachers, and you are willing to act as a tool for Xu Pu and others, such as helping Xu Pu arrange for the promotion of his protégés and former officials, and let Xu Pu take up important positions in the same year! I have always been a comprehensive person, not only investigating the abnormal promotions of civil officials such as Qiu Jing of Anlu Zhizhou, but also investigating the abnormal promotions of military generals during your tenure. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Jiao suddenly changed color, looking at this Zhu Ji's dog leg in horror, and finally knew why this person was able to be valued by Zhu Ji in the first place.

Mu Bin saw Sun Jiao's reaction, and continued to himself: "After my careful verification, although your own uncle Sun Long has already served as the commander of An Luwei, I found that Sun Bao of Zhongzhou Wei Qianhu was promoted to the commander of Zhongzhou Wei, and I also found that the two generals of Gong Changwei and Xi'an Right Guard who were overmoved are surnamed Sun, so I will check the relationship between these people surnamed Sun, this relationship does not need me to talk about it, right?" ”

Tell us, we don't know!

The two brocade guards were listening with relish, but Mu Bin suddenly left blank, and suddenly couldn't help but look at this garbage boss with resentment.

"You...... Who did you tell all these things? Sun Jiao knew that he couldn't hide his affairs anymore, so he asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Ah!

The resentment of the two brocade guards seemed to be perceived by Mu Bin, and one of the sturdy brocade guards was slapped on the body.

Jin Yiwei, who was photographed, saw that it was Mu Bin who did it, and immediately said with a smile: "Lord Qianhu, I don't know where the small one did wrong, the small one must be corrected!" ”

Mu Bin didn't pay attention to his subordinates, so he looked at Sun Jiao with a smile and said, "Did you hear that?" Lord Qianhu, how do you think I rose from 100 to 1,000 this time? ”

"Zhu Lin?" Sun Jiao swallowed hard and asked, holding the last trace of anticipation.

The two brocade guards didn't actually know the truth, and they were also very curious about Mu Bin, who had just been suddenly promoted to a thousand households, so they turned their heads to look at Mu Bin.

Mu Bin couldn't help but roll his eyes, and when he poured cold water, he said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to check Zhongzhou Wei, Gong Changwei and Xi'an Right Guard a few days ago, and as a result, hundreds of soldiers in Zhongzhou Wei are missing, and Xi'an Right Guard's Qianhu Sun Ma and his personal guard suddenly died, do you say it is a coincidence?" ”

"You...... You all know it? Sun Jiao's last trace of illusion was shattered, and his face suddenly turned earthy.

Sun Ming, the ancestor of the Anlu Sun family, was a native of Nanzhili, and had taken root in the local area, and the six brothers finally chose to join Zhu Yuanzhang's army together to seek a future.

There is no doubt that there is a risk in participating in this kind of struggle for the world, and the six brothers are fortunate or unlucky, three of them are killed in battle, and three of them are rewarded for their exploits in the dragon.

Sun Ming is the eldest son of the Sun family, and was awarded by the imperial court Huguang'an Lu Weizheng Thousand Households for his military merits, and his younger brother Sun Huai was appointed as Gongchang Wei Baihu, and Sun Da was appointed as Zhongzhou Wei Baihu.

Although they live in three places, the connection between the three families is very close, especially Sun Hu and Sun Xin passed away and chose to be buried in Anlu Prefecture, which made Anlu the ancestral land of the other two side branches.

Sun Ming passed away, his Sun Sun Hu and Sun Xin were still reused, Sun Hu took over as Huguang An Lu Wei Qianhu, and Sun Xin was transferred to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to serve as the right guard.

After more than 100 years of development, although the Sun family is not as prominent as the Wuxun family, it has also become the most powerful military and political family in Anlu Prefecture.

In this life, because Sun Jiao took the examination to obtain the reputation of Jinshi, he was valued by his mentors Xu Pu and Qiu Jun, and he entered the Ministry of Officials in a few years, and then served as the most powerful Wenxuan Division.

After Sun Jiao entered the ministry, he not only helped his eldest uncle Sun Long eliminate dissidents and control An Luwei, but also pushed his uncles and brothers from the same sect to important positions.

It is the use of the power in his hands, coupled with the exchange of interests with others, that the drama of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven" was staged.

In the face of the imperial court's sudden decision to implement the Qingzhang field in Anlu, Sun Jiao's Sun family shouldered the heavy responsibility of obstructing the imperial court's decree.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi were both assassinated, and Liu Zhong was even hindered in Anlu Qingzhang's fields, and even almost died in the fire.

Mu Bin looked at Sun Jiao, who had lost his mind and lost his soul, and also said with a bad breath: "Originally, you did have the opportunity to be dismissed from office and return to the field for dereliction of duty, but your Sun family committed the great crime of rebellion, not only your Anlu family, but also your Sun family's side relatives are all going to raid the house!" Of course, whether your children will be guillotined or reinforced, it depends on your performance! ”

"What's the performance?" Sun Jiao knew that he had no way out, so he lost his mind.

Mu Bin saw Sun Jiao's reaction in his eyes, and immediately asked the most critical question: "Tell me honestly, who assigned you to murder Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi to stop Qingzhang?" ”
