What? Under arrest?

Zhou Chang was immediately stunned!

It's scary enough to be arrested, not to mention being arrested at the entrance of the vegetable market at night. There is always a process from being arrested in other places to being slaughtered at the entrance of the vegetable market, and maybe you can get an amnesty for the world.

It's good that he was arrested directly at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he didn't need to "go to the vegetable market", he was at the entrance of the vegetable market!

Before Zhou Chang could react, a pock-faced man wearing a horse coat and an official hat had already led a few soldiers from the third battalion to patrol and arrest the third battalion, and he had already pounced on him like a wolf and a tiger, twisting Zhou Chang's two small arms like catching a chicken, and Zhou Chang screamed in pain: "Ahhh Do you know who this official is? ”

At this time, the round-faced seven-rank civil official came up with a smile and asked, "Are you the seven-rank civil servant of the Inner Hongwen Academy to worship Zhou Chang?" ”

"I, I am. Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang replied tremblingly.

The seven-rank civil official smiled: "That's right, it's not wrong!" ”

How is it right?

Zhou Chang was already so panicked that he couldn't say anything: "I, I, what did I do?" Why did you arrest me? ”

What did he do? Of course, he knew in his heart that he hadn't done anything, except for Tuhai's people!

Tuhai is fine, he's fine, if Tuhai is in trouble, then he won't run away!

The seven-rank civil official smiled and said: "Zhou Chang, I don't care what you did, I just take people by order!" ”

"Ordered?" Zhou Chang chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: Could it be that Tuhai has been arrested? That's the end of it

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked again: "You, which yamen are you from?" ”

"We are from the Yamen of the East Hall at the sticky pole!" The round-faced civil official said, "By the order of the minister in charge, King Yu, you will be questioned!" Zhou worship, you are the worship of the three inner courtyards, what is this Dongtangzi Yamen doing, you know better than me, right? ”

Of course, Zhou Chang knew that the establishment of the Dongtangzi Yamen was clearly issued. The edict made it clear that this yamen was a temporary yamen, and its duty was to "investigate and deal with the Aobai henchmen in the internal affairs system." Of course, how long has this "temporary" been, and if the Aobai party in the internal affairs system involves officials outside the internal affairs system, can it be traced, and the edict has not made it clear.

But Zhou Chang has been working in the three courtyards for so many years, and of course he knows that the Qing Dynasty likes to build archways while doing things that hurt heaven and reason. What is this Dongtangzi Yamen, it is clearly the Qing Dynasty version of Dongchang Jinyiwei!

If it falls into the hands of Dongchang Jinyiwei, can it still be good?

Zhou Changzheng was upset, and when he didn't know what to do, his eyes suddenly went dark, and it was a little difficult to breathe. Then, his two trembling thin legs were grabbed and picked up, and the whole person was thrown into what seemed to be a carriage.

Then the carriage staggered

This is arrested? Zhou Chang thought to himself: Why is it like kidnapping? Where is this going to be caught? Is it going to Dongtangzi Hutong? Will it be tortured.

When the black hood on Zhou Chang's head was torn off, he found that he was already in a torture room, he was placed on a stool with a bit of a sass, and it was tied with flowers, and there were leather whips and shackles hanging on the wall in front of him, and there were tiger chairs and a red clay stove burning on the left and right, and there was a red soldering iron on the stove!

was scared, Zhou Chang was suddenly picked up by two people, one left and one right, he thought he was going to be punished, and hurriedly shouted: "I said! I say! I said it all."

This shout really works! Zhou Chang was not pulled out to fight, but changed the direction and rearranged it in front of a table of eight immortals. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are four treasures of the study room and a piece of astonishing wood, and behind the table sits a tall and handsome young guard, wearing a yellow coat and an official hat with a sapphire top, this is a first-class guard!

Looking at his age and appearance, Zhou Chang immediately guessed that the person in front of him must be Wang Zhongxiao, the sticky rod chief of the Dongtangzi Yamen.

There are also two chairs on the left and right sides of Wang Zhongxiao, sitting the round-faced civil official and the pock-faced military attache respectively, and there are a few murderous soldiers around him!

Looking at this posture, Zhou Chang knows that it is not good!

"Say it!" Wang Zhongxiao spoke, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

"Say, what do you say?" Zhou Chang asked in a low voice.

With a "snap", Wang Zhongxiao picked up the startling wood and smashed it on the table of the eight immortals, and then said sharply: "Bold Zhou Chang, you dare to tease this official, come to someone, and serve the big punishment!" ”

"Huh!"

The surrounding group of unreasonable soldiers shouted in unison, but Zhou Chang was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight, don't hit me, I say."

Wang Zhongxiao waved his hand, and those soldiers didn't take Zhou Chang to do it, "Then you can say it quickly!" ”

"I, my guard," Zhou Chang cried with a sad face, "You didn't ask, let me say anything?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao smiled coldly: "Zhou Chang, you are the enshrinement of the Third Inner Court, what does the official want to ask you, can you still know?" Come on, where were you when Ao Bai escaped from the Qianqing Palace? Who can prove it? ”

Zhou Chang was stunned when he heard this question, and he was frightened!

During this time, the guard office, the inner three courtyards, the imperial medicine hospital, and the worship room were all investigating the traitors. is to dig out the traitor who shouted loudly and caused Ao Bai to escape.

Anyone who did not participate in the worship action, and who happened to be on duty that day, and who could enter and leave the Qianqing Palace, excluding the palace maid (the voice was obviously not a woman's), was found to be in danger for everyone.

And Zhou Chang was not too dangerous because he had Mingzhu's hard alibi, thinking of this, he hurriedly replied: "I was copying Ming Fa's edict in the duty room of Longzong Gate that day, and Master Ming can testify." ”

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "My teacher has thought about it carefully in the past few days, and found that there were only two people in the duty room of Longzong Gate that day, one was himself, and the other was . It seems to be you, it seems to be the hall in the picture! ”

It's broken, Mingzhu has retracted its confession!

Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Chang's forehead, but his heart was like a mirror.

He's a smart man! In history, he was the brainchild of Tuhai, and in the rebellion of the three feudatories, he relied on three inches to fool Wang Fuchen into swaying from side to side, and finally made a big mistake. Can he still not know the purpose of Mingzhu's confession?

Of course, Mingzhu wants to make it, Zhou Chang, he is not worthy!

The goal of the pearl is to map the sea!

Knock down Tuhai, Mingzhu must be the head of the Inner Hongwen Academy!

Wang Zhongxiao smiled at this time and asked: "Zhou Chang, can you help my teacher think about it, is it you or Tuzhongtang who was in the Longzong Gate duty room that day?" ”

Before Zhou Chang could think about it, the round-faced civil official on the side spoke: "Think clearly. How will the church answer this question? Think about it again, among those people in the guard's office, the inner three courtyards, the imperial medicine hospital, and the worship room, who is the most suspicious? Who wants to get rid of this pot the most? ”

The pock-faced military attache sneered and said, "If this pot falls on you, it will be Ling Chi's execution and beheading. Is it worth it? ”

How smart is Zhou Chang? Still can't understand these words?

Even if he is willing to die to protect Tuhai, Tuhai will not be willing to protect him! Now Tuhai's biggest heart problem is that of course, the person who shouted that voice didn't find out. Because among all the suspects, only Tuhai has received the great favor of Aobai.

If someone can carry this cauldron on his back now, then Tuhai will be safe. Even if the scholar can't keep it, there's nothing wrong with letting him out and be a governor.

So if you want Tu Hai to choose between himself and Zhou Chang, there is no doubt that Zhou Chang will be thrown out!

"Yes, it's me!" Zhou Changyi gritted his teeth, he already had a choice, "I was the person who was on duty in the Longzong Gate that day. ”

"What about Tuhai?" Wang Zhongxiao asked.

"He, he's out." Zhou Chang said, "Ao Bai didn't come, he went out." ”

Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Did he see Mu Zhan and Xiao Guizi talking and laughing together and entering the Qianqing Gate, so he followed to take a look?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Chang nodded, "He slipped out while Mingzhu was pacing in the duty room and turned around."

"And when did he come back?" Wang Zhongxiao asked again.

"He came back quietly when there was a mess outside," Zhou Chang sighed and said, "and told me that he had left the Longzong Sect Duty Room with no one." ”

Wang Zhongxiao nodded, and said to Wang Mazi beside him: "Loosen the tie for Zhou." ”

"Huh."

Wang Zhongxiao said to Zhou Chang again: "You write a confession first, and the prince will personally interrogate you when you go back, do you know what to say?" ”

"Know, know"

"Do you really know?" Wang Zhongxiao asked, "Zhou worship, then tell me first, what is Tuhai's crime?" ”

"Of course it's a rebellion!" Zhou Chang said, "He was a henchman of Aobai, rebelled with Aobai, and when he found out that the emperor wanted to get rid of Aobai, he slipped out to remind Aobai."

Wang Zhongxiao shook his head: "You're not entirely right, Tu Hai didn't want to rebel by following Aobai, but to get the power to assist the emperor!" ”
