In the prison of the Imperial City Division, Zeng Xiaoyi, who was covered in blood, was woken up by a basin of cold water on his head. One of his eyes was swollen and he couldn't open them, his lips were torn, and the blood on his light-colored prison clothes had turned brown.

Wu Yang sat on the Taishi chair that the head of the squad personally brought for him, his slender legs folded on the table in front of him, and while carelessly picking his nails, he asked lazily, "Say, how did you pass on the information?" Who is the leader behind it? What do you want to do with such a big drama during the Lantern Festival? ”

"Water, give me water!"

Wu Yang was hoarse when he heard his voice, obviously the water and rice did not enter after entering the Imperial City, and he motioned to the jailer on the side to bring Zeng Xiaoyi a bowl of cold water.

Zeng Xiaoyi lowered his head with the soldier's hand and poured a few large sips of cold water, drinking so quickly that he coughed so much that he was reluctant to raise his head when tears came out.

Seeing that the bowl of water had reached the bottom, he sighed comfortably and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"What the hell! It's Lao Tzu who asks you, not you who ask Lao Tzu! A death row prisoner still asks what time and why, for fear of delaying your reincarnation? ”

Xie Wuwu, the head of the torture, was a violent man, and he believed in "Under Miki, why can't you ask for it?" "The suspect has entered the Imperial City Division, as long as it falls into his hands, a killing stick is indispensable. This person especially likes to study the torture methods of the cool officials of the previous dynasty, what "deboning" and "grooming", speaking of which is the head of the way, if it is not for the suppression of the civil officials, he really wants to repeat the famous torture of all dynasties and dynasties on the prisoners.

As he spoke, he waved his long whip and hit Zeng Xiaoyi with a "snap", and the tip of the whip swept over Zeng Xiaoyi's neck, leaving a bloody mark on Zeng Xiaoyi's body and neck.

The pain made Zeng Xiaoyi scream loudly, and he laughed miserably: "What do you want the villain to say?" The villain is a soup cake seller, who has always been law-abiding, and never dares to pay less than a penny or a penny in taxes, let alone charge more than a penny and a half from guests. The day before yesterday, Xiao Er miscalculated the account and overcharged the guest ten cents, and the villain chased out half a mile to return the overcharged money to the guest before he felt at ease...... Adults don't believe it, they can go to the neighborhood to search for it, the villain is a soup cake seller, where is there any scheme...... Adults and officials, you have to believe the villain, what the villain says is true! ”

"The soup cake seller, the soup cake was sold into the Lonely Mountain Camp? How special is the Lonely Mountain Camp, you don't know if you have lived in Lin'an City for twenty or thirty years? You still want to be Lao Tzu, you really don't know anything about Lao Tzu, are you picking soup cakes into the lonely mountain camp? It's a picky piece of paper money! Do you want Lao Tzu to arrest the people from the paper shop and confront you face to face! ”

Seeing that Wu Yang didn't mean to speak, Xie Wuwu immediately sprayed at Zeng Xiaoyi viciously.

Hearing Xie Wuwu say that the owner of the paper shop was also arrested in the Imperial City Division, Zeng Xiaoyi's face suddenly froze, and he quickly dragged his crying voice and shouted grievances.

"Adult, official, the villain is greedy, the old man of the Gushan Camp asked the villain to help send some paper money in, and the price is twice as high as the one on the market. The villain thought that these old pawns lacked arms and legs, it was nothing more than secretly sacrificing to their ancestors, and the villain could also earn a sum of money unknowingly, but he still couldn't hide it from the official's eyes...... The villain knew that he was wrong, and the villain was willing to withdraw all the money he earned, only asking the official to be gracious and spare the little dog's life, and the villain repaid the official with a grass title......"

Zeng Xiaoyi nodded violently, shook his body and begged for mercy loudly, insisting that he was a soup cake seller, because he was greedy for money, he helped the old soldiers of the Gushan Camp to secretly bring some paper money in, and then asked him anything else, he only shook his head and said that he didn't know anything.

was making a fuss, and a gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the cell: "Zeng Xiaoyi, you still have a brother named Zeng Congjia, and your sister Zeng Yue, say, where are they now?" ”

Zeng Xiaoyi was taken aback, he looked up sharply at the place where the voice came from, only to find that there were two people in the shadow of the entrance of the cell, they were standing and sitting, and the standing was a small internal prisoner, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looked a little weak.

The little inner prison attendant stood behind the seated man and bowed forward slightly, looking very respectful.

The man seated was a very old eunuch, his face was wrinkled and stacked, and it was impossible to tell how old he was. Perhaps because of the seldom of sunlight, the old eunuch's face was as pale as a dead man, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't speak, giving people a cold feeling.

The old eunuch suddenly bent over and coughed, coughing very violently, making his thin body bounce on the chair like a shrimp, accompanied by the sound of "ho ho" gasping, as if the old eunuch would not be able to breathe in the next second and die in the cell.

The little eunuch hurriedly bent down to beat his back, and from time to time stretched out a palm to rub the old eunuch's chest to alleviate his pain, and from time to time whispered about the old eunuch's condition, looking extremely concerned.

The old eunuch waved his hand weakly and rejected the little eunuch's proposal, and the cell was filled with the sound of his coughing, and the rest was the slight "crackling" sound of the torches burning on the wall.

When the old eunuch coughed, even the most ferocious Xie Wuwu held his breath and didn't dare to move.

Finally, the old eunuch's coughing stopped, Wu Yang didn't know when he had stood up, he hugged his fists and bowed five steps away from the old eunuch, "The prison is shabby, treat your father-in-law slowly, and ask your father-in-law to forgive me!" ”

"It's okay!" The old eunuch waved his hand, "Our family hasn't been to this place for many years, but I feel kind." Lord Xiao Wu doesn't have to be restrained, just busy with your go, I'm afraid our family will have some means, Lord Xiao Wu is everyone's son, these pickled methods that can't be put on the table are afraid of staining your eyes, if Your Majesty blames it, our family can't afford to eat it! ”

"The father-in-law is at his own convenience, if there is any need, just instruct the jailer at the door, he will definitely give the father-in-law a proper job, and the lower official will retire."

Wu Yang did not delay at all, he hugged his fists again and bowed sideways and slowly retreated to the exit, Xie Wuwu was even more angry and did not dare to breathe, following Wu Yang's appearance, he bent his body extremely low, and followed Wu Yang to retreat towards the door.

The prison of the Imperial City Division is underground, and there is a zigzag staircase connecting to the ground, Wu Yang stayed at the corner for a moment, and the prison below did not come from the imaginary scream, he continued to walk towards the exit, without stopping.

It was a sunny day, and although the sun was not warm, Wu Yang still stood outside the house for a while, as if he wanted to draw a little heat from the sun.

"You just stay here, you can't go and disturb without the permission of Father-in-law Fan, and Father-in-law will try to meet him if he has any needs!"

Turning the corner, Xie Wuwu turned his head frequently, wanting to observe the methods of this mysterious old eunuch, but he didn't dare, he knew that it was no more laborious for the other party to crush him than to crush an ant.

Hearing Wu Yang's order, he clenched his fists and said, "Yes, I will obey the orders of my lord!" ”
