Chapter 53: Investigation of the case, prison [two watches, ask for subscription]

Zhu Youxiao was still cultivating in Cining Palace, and even if Concubine Wan Guifei was greedy, she didn't dare to leave Yuhuatian to do anything, so after taking over the case of falling into the water, Yuhuatian left Cining Palace directly and returned to Xichang.

At this time, in the yamen, several core figures of the West Factory were already waiting here.

Yan Shisan and Ma Jinliang, the head of the big stall, stood in the main seat with cold and arrogant expressions, and the laziness on Ding Xiu's face disappeared, and he was also gloomy at this time, obviously in a bad mood.

Behind is the third-grade head Ji Xueyong, wearing a sky blue python robe, bald head, and a scar running through the upper and lower eyes of the left eye, which looks quite hideous, but at this time he is as docile as a kitten, and in front of several big brothers, he does not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Next to Ji Xueyong is Zhao Tong, the killer of the West Factory, with a cyan face full of evil, and his eyes are gloomy.

Behind him is a young man in ordinary fanzi clothes, handsome and slightly restrained, but his cheekbones are protruding, his hands are covered with calluses, and his martial arts are obviously not weak.

Even Tan Luzi rushed to the scene after receiving the news of Yuhuatian's return, although he was promoted to deputy governor and ranked as the third rank, but at this time, he only dared to stand behind Ma Jinliang, and did not dare to cross at all.

Tan Luzi is very self-aware, he knows that the reason why he was promoted was only because of his loyalty, so he made him the deputy governor in charge of the internal affairs of the West Factory, but if he dared to borrow a donkey on the slope and climb to the head of the former eldest brother, I am afraid that his life will not be easy. Therefore, in front of Ma Jinliang, he was always very low-key, and he didn't dare to hold his own deputy overseer's shelf.

At this time, the atmosphere was silent, and everyone stood in the house, waiting quietly.

"Stombleβ€”"

Not long after, crisp footsteps sounded outside the house, followed by Yuhuatian's lonely and indifferent figure appeared at the door.

Everyone looked solemn, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed:

"See the Overseer!"

Yu Huatian glanced at everyone, then walked straight to the seat of the overseer and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”

Everyone got up.

Yu Huatian did not hesitate, and directly briefly said the situation of entering the palace to face the saint this time, and then said: "The emperor fell into the water, there is another strange matter, the emperor asked this seat to be responsible for investigating this matter, do you have any suggestions, talk about it." ”

Hearing this, everyone seemed to have discussed it, and turned their heads together to look at Ding Xiu with a gloomy face.

Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, and he also looked at Ding Xiu, and asked, "Do you know about this?" ”

Ding Xiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and then took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Overseer, just now my subordinates followed Lu Wenzhao to the Xinwang Mansion, and accidentally discovered that the emperor's fall into the water was indeed deliberately done by someone, and the person who did this was Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin. It's just that...... Ding Baiying, the master under this matter, and the two junior brothers and sisters were all involved......"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes, but he was not surprised, nodded slightly, and said, "Then what do you think?" ”

Ding Xiu was silent for a moment and said: "After all, Ding Baiying is a subordinate art teacher, and the goals of her and her subordinates are actually the same. ”

"The subordinates have already met with her, but I don't know if I can make her change her mind, if she can get lost and stay away from the king of letters, the subordinates beg the overseer, for the sake of the subordinates' relationship with her master and apprentice, to spare her life, if not, ......"

Ding Xiu took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Then please ask the Overseer to allow his subordinates not to meddle in this case, as for whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with their subordinates!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Huatian bowed slightly, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The reason why he values Ding Xiu is also because this person has clear grievances and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, if he really breaks off his relationship with Ding Baiying for the case of falling into the water, and directly chooses to kill his relatives in righteousness regardless of the relationship between master and apprentice, Yuhuatian will have to consider whether he can continue to use him in the future.

But now, Yuhuatian is satisfied with his answer.

"Don't worry, since she is Master Ling, then this seat will give her a chance to choose, including Lu Wenzhao."

Yu Huatian said lightly: "But you have been with this seat for so long, you should also know what the ambition in this seat is." This world is already chaotic enough, it can't be changed by changing the emperor at all, not to mention that Zhu Youzhen is not a master, he doesn't have the ability to change the status quo. ”

"The power of this seat at the moment comes from the emperor, so only the emperor is alive, which is the most beneficial to this seat, and no matter who dares to kill the emperor, others are enemies of this seat!"

"This time they were deceived by the king of faith, for your sake, this seat can not deal with them, but if they are still stubborn, then do not blame this seat for the ruthlessness of his subordinates."

Ding Xiu's heart was relieved, and he bowed his hand in a deep voice: "Ding Xiu understands, thank you Lord!" ”

Yu Huatian nodded, then looked at Yan Shisan, Ma Jinliang and the others, and said: "I'll leave this matter to you, this King Xin is a prince after all, if there is no definite evidence, we can't move him by ourselves, so before arresting him, we must get enough evidence." ”

"You can start with the person who did something to the treasure ship, the one who supervised the construction of the treasure ship was Guo Zhen, the eunuch with the palm print of the official supervisor in the East Factory, this person and Lu Wenzhao were former comrades in the army, and the two participated in the Battle of Salhu eight years ago, Guo Zhen is also a person who believes in the king, but since the king knows that the matter has been revealed, then it is likely to kill him, and you will control him in advance."

"In addition, the process of supervising the construction of the treasure ship will definitely leave a record, and the minutes of the supervision of the treasure ship should be sealed in the case library of Jinyiwei for unified management, and the book will be brought back."

"On the side of the Xinwang Mansion, we must also send someone to stare at death, and wait for all the evidence and material evidence to be in hand, and after the emperor is presented, I will take people."

"Yes!"

They saluted solemnly, and then turned and left.

Before long, a large number of masters of the West Factory left the yamen one after another and began to act separately.

All the details of this matter have been ordered in place, with Yan Shisan's strength, as long as they act according to the plan, there will be basically no accidents, so Yuhuatian is not worried, and he has no intention of taking action in person.

If you have to do everything yourself, what else do you have to do?

After sending them away, Yuhuatian groaned for a while, then got up alone and walked towards the prison.

He was going to see someone to see if he could subdue him and complete his plan to break through to the Grand Master as soon as possible......

β€”β€”

The criminal law of the Ming Dynasty is strict, not only the Hulong Villa, the East and West No. 2 Factory and the Jinyiwei are responsible for supervising and investigating the case, but also the Criminal Department is in charge of the punishment.

Therefore, there are two places where prisoners are held in the Ming Dynasty: one is the edict prison of Jinyiwei, and the other is the prison of the criminal department.

The others, whether they are the Dragon Protector Villa or the private prisons secretly set up by the East and West No. 2 Factory, are not recognized by the imperial court and cannot be brought to the surface.

The prison of the Criminal Department, which is called the prison in the conventional sense, is under the supervision of the Criminal Department.

Yuhuatian is the prince of Xichang Factory, the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, in charge of the power of life and death of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the ministers are all fearless like tigers, plus now there is a royal gold medal in hand, this capital boundary, there is no place where Yuhuatian can't go.

Among them, it naturally includes the prison of the Criminal Department.

Seeing Yuhuatian coming, the official in charge of the guard didn't even dare to let go of a fart, let alone ask more, so he just let him go.

And Yuhuatian's destination was very clear, and after crossing the dark and damp tunnel, he went directly to the bottom of the prison.

This place is very deep underground, and it is generally used to hold those who are more dangerous, and as long as they are locked here, there is basically no chance to go out again in this life, so the guards here are also extremely tight.

A group of dozens of jailers, all wearing armor and knives, and even carrying crossbow arrows at their waists, stood at the door with serious expressions.

Seeing Yu Huatian's arrival, the warden led by him hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See your lord!" ”

Yu Huatian said lightly: "Is there a person named Gu Santong locked up on this floor, or the one that the Iron Courage Shenhou personally locked in." ”

"Ancient three links?"

The warden's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and then he asked, "Is the strange man you are talking about when you say that you have been imprisoned for twenty years?" I don't know if this person is a little one who was imprisoned by Lord Shenhou, but in that cell, there is indeed a stone tablet engraved with the title of Lord Shenhou, and no one dares to move it for twenty years. ”

"That's him."

Yu Huatian nodded, the stone tablet was specially placed in the cell by Zhu Wuzhi.

Because Zhu ignored the tricks and defeated Gu Santong back then, but he never killed him, but made him make an oath that in the future, as long as there is a place where there is an iron and gallant god, Gu Santong will not take half a step.

And it is also because of this oath that the ancient three links will be willing to be ignored by Zhu and trapped in the prison for twenty years with a stone tablet without taking a step, otherwise with this prison, how can he be imprisoned?

"Where? Take this seat with you. "Yuhuatian is undoubtedly authentic.

The warden didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

A moment later, Yu Huatian followed the warden to the outside of the last cell of the prison.

The cell was made of stone all around, except for an iron door erected in the middle, and no light could be seen through the small window of the iron door, and the small window was even covered with cobwebs, apparently no one had been here for a long time.

"My lord, this is it."

The prison warden cautiously looked at Yu Huatian's face, and saw Yu Huatian looking at the cobwebs on the small window, for fear that Yu Huatian would misunderstand their mistreatment of the prisoners, so he hurriedly explained:

"The prisoners in this cell are quite special, Lord Shenhou has specially instructed that no one is allowed to come near here, and no one is allowed to bring food to the prisoners in the prison, so ......"

Yuhuatian waved his hand, no nonsense, and said directly: "Open." ”

"Yes!"

The warden hurriedly flipped through the key, perhaps no one had been here for a long time, and even the key had been looking for a long time before he could find it, and when he opened the cell door, he stepped back and stood respectfully beside him.

"You go, go in alone, don't let anyone come in and disturb you."

Yu Huatian waved his hand, then ignored the warden, and stepped straight into the prison door.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a stone tablet that was high for one person, engraved with the words 'Iron Courage Shenhou', and the font was strong and powerful.

Yuhuatian bypassed the stone monument and immediately saw a figure with a mantle, ragged clothes, and limbs chained on the innermost rock wall of the stone chamber.

The figure bowed his head, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he still smelled a foul smell all over his body, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a bath.

Yuhuatian frowned slightly from the smell and immediately held his breath, but he was also relieved in his heart.

Because he sensed the anger in the body of this figure, although it was a little weak, it was indeed alive......

After a slight silence, Yuhuatian spoke directly: "Ancient three links." ”

Hearing someone call his name, the figure swayed slightly, and then raised his head tremblingly, revealing an old and dull face, and his eyes were also full of dead silence:

"Who are you?"

Xu hadn't spoken for a long time, and Gu Santong's voice was a little hoarse and low.

"This West Factory is a factory, and Yuhua Field."

Seeing his down-and-out appearance, Yu Huatian's brows furrowed even tighter, and in Gu Santong's body, he couldn't even feel any true qi existing, and couldn't help but ask:

"Your martial arts have been abolished?"

Gu Santong didn't answer, and after hearing Yuhuatian's self-reported identity, he lost any interest, lowered his head again, and said coldly: "What's the matter with you?" Eagle dogs of the court, don't bother me, get out! ”

Yu Huatian's eyes were slightly cold: "You'd better think clearly before talking to this seat." ”

Gu Santong's tone was a little sarcastic: "Lao Tzu has been imprisoned for twenty years, and he is not even afraid of death, what else can you do with me?" The old pig asked you to come, right? Why didn't he come in person this year? ”

Yu Huatian said coldly: "This seat knows that you are not afraid of death, but you don't want to see Su Xin again, see you and her son?" ”

"Uhh

Gu Santong raised his head instantly, and the iron chain was so loud that he struggled to make a noise, and even strangled it deeply in his flesh, but he didn't care at all, just stared at Yuhuatian with excitement on his face:

"What do you say? Su Xin is not dead yet? I have a son with her?! You're lying to me! ”

Yuhuatian said coldly: "There is no need to lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can go out and see by yourself, Su Xin didn't die back then, but was in a coma, and Zhu ignored the fact that he was looking for Tianxiang Cardamom everywhere these years, just to save her." ”

"Su Xin is not dead...... It's really not dead! I still have a son? That's great! That's great! ”

"Old pig, in the end, you still lost to me, Su Xin is always mine, and she gave me a child!"

"Hahahaha......"

Gu Santong trembled with excitement and did not doubt it anymore.

Because he also felt that Yuhuatian really didn't need to lie to him, he was a waste, what was there to deceive?

But soon, he calmed down again, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "What if Su Xin is not dead?" I'm a wreck now, time is running out, and even if I have a chance to save her, I won't have the face to see her again......"

"Moreover, my ancient three links do what they say, I swear, as long as there is a place where the old pig is there, my ancient three links will retreat, and I will never take the initiative to take half a step......"

As he spoke, he looked at Yuhuatian, and his face softened a lot: "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

"For the sake of you telling me this news, I can tell you anything you want to know, but what you want me to do for you is already impossible, and I don't have more days to live."

Yu Huatian frowned: "You are also an undefeated naughty boy who dominated one side back then, even if you have been imprisoned for twenty years, with your strength, you will not run out of oil so quickly, what did you do?" ”

Gu Santong said lightly: "A few days ago, a kid fell from above, I saw that he had a good talent, so I passed on all my martial arts to him, including my life's skills." ”

Yu Huatian's face changed: "You have already encountered right and wrong?!" ”

Gu Santong nodded, his expression was calm, and he didn't have any regretful expression.

In his opinion, if he can find a successor before he dies, and he knows that Su Xin is not dead, and he has a son with him, even if he dies, he has no regrets!

Yu Huatian looked at his expression, took a deep breath, and didn't intend to tell him that Cheng was the son of him and Su Xin.

Now that he has passed on his skills to Cheng right and wrong, there is no value in accepting and using it, but it does not delay his other purpose:

"Do you know how to break through to the Grand Master?"

Gu Santong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then carefully looked at Yuhua Field.

After a while, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes: "Your talent is not much weaker than the kid who fell a few days ago, and you have already reached such a level at a young age, no wonder you want to come to the heavenly prison to find me, a wasted person." ”

"But you're looking for the wrong person, because back then, I didn't break through the Great Grandmaster, and this level is not so easy to break through."

Hearing this, Yu Huatian's brows furrowed tightly: "You don't know how to break through the Great Grandmaster?" ”

Gu Santong shook his head: "Any great grandmaster on the rivers and lakes needs to go through decades of precipitation, and when I was imprisoned by Zhu Wuzhi, although I was already a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, I also never reached the realm of a great grandmaster. ”

"However, Zhu Wuzhi's strength was similar to mine, and he was different from me, after the blows of the year, I had no intention of pursuing martial arts, so I have been staying at the peak of the grandmaster for so many years and cannot break through, but Zhu Wuzhi is full of vision, and he will definitely not give up martial arts, and after so many years, he must have broken through to the great grandmaster."

"You can go to him and ask, you and he are both members of the court, you go to him, he should tell you."

If I could find him, would he come and ask you?

Yu Huatian's face turned cold: "So, since you have lost your martial arts cultivation, you don't know how to break through the Great Grandmaster?" What's the point of this seat coming to you? ”

Gu Santong's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

What do you mean?

Yu Huatian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he no longer had any patience, his mind moved slightly, and a sword qi burst out of his body in an instant.

"Whew-"

Gu Santong's pupils shrank, and before he could react, his eyebrows had been pierced by the sword qi, his eyes widened, staring at Yuhuatian incredulously, and then his body fell backwards.

[Qi luck from the ancient three links +6894.] 】

Listening to the system prompt ringing in his head, Yu Huatian's expression was indifferent and did not change in the slightest.

"This is your last value!"

Coldly glancing at Gu Santong's corpse, Yuhuatian was in an extremely bad mood, and turned around and walked out with a gloomy face.
