Honglu Temple is inhabited by many people from all over the world.

Sun Quan stood in the window and was secretly frightened, and there were many people who were silently shocked in the dark.

Yuan Tan, the judges, and the people of the Yuan family disappeared without a trace in a short period of time, and the blood stains on the ground were all cleaned up.

It happened too quickly, too suddenly, and it was as if nothing had happened afterwards.

No one reacted superfluously, and the Honglu Temple was quiet, as if everyone was asleep.

Huangfu Jianchang took people, and also returned to the Imperial City Mansion with Yuan Tan, Trial and others.

The Imperial City Mansion is in the southwest corner of Luoyang City, it is an inconspicuous courtyard, the wall is gray and old, the wall is full of vine plants, only the three words of the gilded 'Imperial City Mansion' on the plaque shine brightly.

Yuan Tan, the interrogator was escorted into the interrogation room at the bottom of the dungeon, which was full of torture instruments, red from charcoal all the way, and several shirtless men, holding their hands, stared at the two people tied to the torture rack with eyes like poisonous snakes.

The black cover on Yuan Tan's head was torn off, and he hurriedly swept around, his face suddenly turned pale, his expression was frightened, his legs kept trembling, and his blocked mouth kept whining.

The trial was much calmer, looking at this terrible torture room, his heart sank again and again.

He had understood what had happened since the moment before he fell unconscious, and he regretted it.

Yuan Tan once told him that he wanted to give a 'big gift' to the imperial court, but he didn't think so at the time. Later, Yuan Tan told him about the plan, and the judge thought that the plan was good, so he personally helped to operate it.

It's just that they never expected that just now they were still celebrating with a crown, celebrating the imminent chaos in the imperial court, but they never thought that the next moment, the Imperial City Mansion would break into the door and bring them here.

The interrogator's mouth was also tightly gagged, constantly forcing himself to stay calm and thinking about a way to get out.

I don't know how long it took, Huangfu Jian gnawed on the apple, and came in leisurely, and before he entered the door, he smelled a disgusting smell of carrion and other mixtures, and couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago, to be benevolent and righteous, to be reasonable, why don't you listen?" I know about torture all day long, and it makes this place a miasma......"

"What the second son said is that the villain wrote it down." A jailer immediately raised his hand in response.

Huangfu Jian took another bite of the apple, walked in and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "That's right, how are you going to judge them?" ”

The jailer looked back at Yuan Tan and the judge, and said without changing his face: "Second son, the villain thinks like this, first whip fifty, then the steel needle passes through the hands and feet, then the soldering iron, then peels off the nails, and passes the five fingers with a thin needle......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Before the jailer finished speaking, Yuan Tan, who was not far away, struggled violently, his eyes widened, his face pale with horror, and he kept nodding at Huangfujian.

Huangfu Jian suddenly glared at the jailer angrily, and said, "Nonsense, just now I said that I want to talk about benevolence and righteousness, how can I scare others." Okay, I'm just going to take a look, I'm going to take a nap. ”

The jailer's face never changed from beginning to end, and when he heard this, he said: "After the second son wakes up, the villain will present his confession. ”

Huangfu Jian patted him on the shoulder again with a satisfied face, and turned to leave.

Before the emperor had gone far, there was a muffled scream behind him that sent chills down the back of his neck.

Huangfu shook his head fiercely, and said to himself: "If I had this field in the future, I would have bitten my tongue and committed suicide." ”

Cheng Yu came to meet him, and said in a low voice: "Second son, the prime minister is here." ”

Huangfu was stunned for a long time and said, "Where are you?" ”

"Sit in the courtyard,"

Cheng Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Second son, do you want to see you?" ”

Huangfu Jian Chang also hesitated, nibbling on the apple, his heart fluttering.

The Imperial City Mansion is not the Huangmen North Temple Prison, it has always been low-key, and the Huangfu Jian has been running around for so many years, focusing on military intelligence, and it is in Luoyang City, a large number of people do not know that there is such a thing as the 'Imperial City Mansion'.

Of course, this will definitely not include Prime Minister Xun Yu.

And what is the purpose of Xun Yu coming here late at night?

"Can I not see it?" Huangfu Jian approached Cheng Yu and said.

Looking at Huangfu Jian's unclear expression, Cheng Yu groaned, shook his head and said: "The prime minister is here, most of them already know, the second son avoids it, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to walk in Luoyang City in the future." ”

Huangfu Jian took another bite of the apple, frowned and said: "I'm not afraid of this, I'm worried, this prime minister has probed the foundation of the Imperial City Mansion, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future." And Yuan Tan's affairs should not be known to the prime minister first. ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he was puzzled: "The prime minister shouldn't be unaware of the taboos here, and it will definitely not be a secret that he comes here, unless he ......."

"Please!"

Without waiting for Cheng Yu to finish speaking, Huangfu woke up violently, didn't care about gnawing on the apple, strode out, and said, "I'll go in person, Mr. Cheng, go and look at Yuan Tan, don't be too ugly." ”

Unless, it's permission from the palace.

Cheng Yu raised his hand, turned around and walked towards the torture room.

The emperor walked a few steps, suddenly reacted, stopped, leaned against the wall, and nibbled on the apple again.

In the dark passage, Huangfu Jian didn't know how long it was, clapped his hands, and walked quickly to the outer courtyard, wanting to be polite to Xun Yu with a warm face.

Xun Yu put his hands behind his back, his expression was indifferent, and said, "I want to meet Yuan Tan and ask a few questions." ”

"Prime Minister, please!" Huangfu Jian was almost half-bowed, flattering like a market gentleman.

Xun Yu walked in front, and in front of him were two guards of the Imperial City Mansion with lanterns.

Xun Yu's eyes are not squinting, and his steps are neither fast nor slow.

Huangfu Jianchang wanted to talk to this prime minister for a few words and get closer to him, but looking at his side face, he secretly smacked his lips, so he had to suppress the full 'affection' in his heart.

Xun Yu didn't walk long before he felt the cold and damp and the pungent smell mixed with it.

He didn't react and kept walking.

The dungeon of this Imperial City Mansion is unusually long and unusually quiet, but it gives people a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

I don't know how long it took to walk, Huangfu Jian suddenly rushed to the front in a few steps, and said flatteringly: "Prime Minister, this is it, people, the lower officials have just been arrested, and they haven't had time to be tried yet." ”

As he spoke, he entered the house with his butt facing backwards, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Yuan Tan covered in blood and dying.

He was stunned, suddenly straightened up, and reprimanded the jailer: "Didn't I tell you to be benevolent and righteous!" It is necessary to know it with affection, move it with reason, do not use torture, can it be true that the confession is extorted by torture? ”

The jailer had already seen Xun Yu, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "The villain is sincere for his meritorious service, please punish the captain for a heavy crime!" ”

Huangfu Jian was furious, kicked over, and said, "Just know the guilt, pull it out and cut it!" ”

"Yes!" The guards outside the door listened, strode in, and escorted the jailer away.

The jailer didn't defend anymore, so he was taken away and 'chopped' with his head down.

Cheng Yu stood aside, quietly watching Xun Yu's expression.

Xun Yu didn't have any expression on his face, he ignored Huangfu's strong performance, and went straight to Yuan Tan, and said lightly: "Xun Yu." ”

Yuan Tan drooped his head, as if he wanted to lift up, but he didn't have the slightest strength, and vaguely heard a few mutters, and then he didn't react.

Xun Yu waited for a while, walked towards the still intact trial, reached out and tore off the black cloth in his mouth, and said, "Trial? You should be able to answer the true picture. ”

The judge looked stunned, looked up at the dark roof beams, and sighed: "What should be said or not, Yuan Tan has said it, you can read the confession." ”

Huangfu Jian heard the words and glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu held a stack of confessions in his hand and nodded slightly.

Huangfu Jian smashed his mouth, regretting it a little, and he was not fully prepared.

Xun Yu used a 'ignore' response to Huangfu Jianchang, with his hands behind his back, looking directly at the trial, and said: "The first question: Yuan Shao's goal, is it to go north or south?" ”

Yuan Shao occupied most of Yangzhou, and went north to Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and then Yanzhou and Sili, and went straight to Luoyang. And to the south, it is Jing and Jiaozhi, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, occupying Jiangdong and dividing the world with the imperial court.

The trial was silent, just looking at the black roof beams.

Xun Yu waited for a moment and said: "You are from the scholar clan, you should not be a resolute person, you have seen Yuan Tan's torture with your own eyes, do you want to answer the true appearance after using it?" ”

The corners of the judge's face twitched fiercely, and he slowly lowered his head.

first looked at Xun Yu, and after making sure that he was not joking, he looked at Yuan Tan, who had less air in and more air out.

The judge's heart was like ashes, he sighed and said, "That's it, after I finish speaking, will you give me a good time?" ”

"The trial will be conducted according to the law, and no punishment will be used." Xun Yu said.

The judge still struggled for a moment in his heart, and said, "Go south." ”

"The second,"

Xun Yu stared at the face of the judge, and said, "Is there any collusion between Yuan Shao and the Jiaozhi Shijia, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang, and Sanqiang?" ”

The judge's expression was extremely depressed, he shook his head, and said, "There should be." That Xu You went out for a walk, and what he talked about, only Yuan Shao and his cronies knew. ”

Xun Yu nodded slightly, and said: "Third, Taixue should be just the beginning, you should still have a back hand, what is the back hand?" ”

The judge seemed to look at Xun Yu seriously for the first time, his eyes were different, and he said: "They all say that you are a puppet that the emperor has forcibly carried up, but they underestimate you." ”

Xun Yu put his hands behind his back, and his expression did not change at all.

The judge waited for a while and said, "Liu Xie." We plan that after you are convicted, it will be revealed that you have been framed, and the murderer behind the scenes is Liu Xie. ”

Huangfu Jianchang's color changed suddenly, and he stepped forward and said, "So, the words that Yuan Tan gave to the Queen Mother when he entered the palace were also designed by you in advance?" ”

The judge turned to him, suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows deeply, and said, "Yes, Yuan Tan leaked in the palace?" ”

Huangfu Jian Chang suddenly sneered, leaned against the wall, and nibbled on the apple again.

Speaking of which, it was really Yuan Tan's self-defeating in the palace that aroused suspicion in the palace, and this was the only chance that Yuan Tan's conspiracy was discovered.

"Heh......"

The judge has already seen it, and he sighed bitterly, and there is no more than half a word.

Xun Yu finished asking, thought silently for a while, turned around and said to Huangfu Jian: "Take good care of Yuan Tan, and hand it over to Yushitai tomorrow." ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Huangfu Jian Chang hurriedly spit out the apple and said loudly.

Xun Yu didn't say anything more and left directly.

Huangfu Jianchang did not send Xun Yu, but stared at Yuan Tan and the trial, his eyes flickering.

He never expected that these two people not only calculated Prime Minister Xun Yu, but also had a backhand, which was aimed at Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu!

"What a means!"

Huangfu raised his hand and said, "Is it your means, or Yuan Tan's?" ”

The judge already had a will to die, and said indifferently: "Yuan Tan's idea, my design." ”

Huangfu nodded strongly, turned to Cheng Yu, and said, "This person wants to find a way to keep it, and some of it is useful." ”

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "It's a little difficult, it's sent to the Imperial History Observatory tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will be to the Tingwei Mansion in the afternoon, so it's not good for us to interfere." ”

Huangfu rubbed his chin vigorously and said, "It's a pity, this is a talent......

Cheng Yu didn't answer, is there a shortage of talents in the Han Dynasty?

There is no shortage!

There is really no shortage at all!

Those who live in seclusion, those who hate officialdom, those who are obsessed with learning, those who despise the powerful in the family, and many who wander from all directions, etc.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no shortage of talents!

If the trial is deaf, there is no will to survive.

As for Yuan Tan, he seemed to have heard something, struggled slightly, and still hung his head.

……

Early the next morning.

Regarding the matter of Yuan Tan and the trial and conspiring to frame Prime Minister Xun Yu, it is like a cold wind transiting, silent, and no one knows it.

The streets and alleys quickly became lively, and the voices of discussion came and went, and they were very loud.

"I'll just say that the prime minister is studying in Taixue, and killing students in broad daylight is simply a big joke in the world!"

"But no, if you think about it carefully, you think it's impossible, so many people are present, even if the prime minister gives the order, the guards don't dare."

"That's the prime minister, it's ridiculous to beat someone to death in public!"

"That Yuan Tan, it's really hateful!"

"The Yuan family is an ill-intentioned immortal treacherous evil, the Yuan family is, that Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao is even more, this Yuan Tan is even more hateful!"

"Punish the Nine Clans!"

Public opinion is flipping, and the people who cursed Xun Yu seem to have disappeared in an instant, all of them are complaining about Xun Yu, and then scolding Yuan Shao.

Yuan Tan and the prisoner car of the trial match left the Imperial City Mansion in the early morning and quietly entered the Imperial History Tower.

It has been prepared for a long time, and the Yushitai is running at high speed, and all kinds of evidence are clearly arranged, just waiting for time, and it will be transferred to the Tingwei Mansion for public trial.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Yongle Palace.

A palace maid hurriedly ran into the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, saw that the Empress Dowager He was grooming, and was just about to speak, when she was greeted with a glare from the Empress Dowager He.

The palace maid turned her head and saw the second highness Liu Yuwan on the bed, leaning on his back and sleeping soundly.

Empress Dowager He quietly walked out of the door, and the palace maid said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the slave maid just came out of the imperial dining room, and happened to meet the person in charge of the palace order, and I heard him say that the prime minister was framed by Yuan Tan, and that day he deliberately slandered King Chen Liuwang in front of his mother, and wanted to push the matter of framing the prime minister to King Chen Liu, so that His Majesty could kill King Chen Liuwang and cause trouble to the court!" ”

Empress Dowager He's face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "What you said is true?!" ”

The palace maid shrunk her neck and said, "It should be true, it has been spread all over the palace and outside the palace." ”

"Be gut! What a gut, the calculation has come to the head of this palace! ”

Empress Dowager He's chest rose and fell, her face was hideous, and her eyes burst out with murderous intent.

She never expected that Yuan Tan would dare to deceive her, she was also tricked, and she said so much in Liu Bian!
