Chengqian Palace

"Your Highness! Your Highness! The slave got it! Got it! ”

The crown prince Zhao Ming, who was anxiously waiting, heard the excited voice of his eldest companion, and his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

When he arrived at the door, he met Li Wen who came back at a trot, Li Wen immediately handed over the piece in his hand, Zhao Ming opened it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed and said:

"Good! All right! This time, I'll see how you die!

Embezzled more than half of the border army's salary, causing the border army to make trouble so far, and even had the risk of mutiny, I see how you can escape this responsibility! ”

"Li Companion!"

Zhao Ming suddenly shouted.

Li Wen immediately responded: "Your Highness, the slave is here!" ”

"You immediately take the people from the Imperial City Division now, go to the household department for me to arrest Pan Zuocheng and Lu Chengjie, the two bold guys, and ask me where they remember the list!

As the first to take over, they must have a list in their hands! ”

"Good! The slave understands and will definitely ask for the list! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Wen quickly trotted out again and went to the headquarters of the Imperial City Division in the palace to transfer people.

At this time, outside the palace, Zhang He, who had just come out of the political hall, hurriedly returned home, and at the same time, the incident of the border army's salary also spread throughout Bianjing at an extremely fast and incredible speed, causing an uproar!

The entire border army is making trouble, this is not a trivial matter, if the Huns come to attack at this time, the border army that can't get the military salary will not defend directly, and the Huns will enter the pass, then the whole pass will suffer, and no one wants to have a good life!

This is definitely not a small matter!

Whether it was the officials who had nothing to do with this matter, or the ordinary people were all discussing this matter in a boiling boil, and everyone's faces were filled with sorrow.

The government and the opposition all know, which means that everyone involved in this matter also knows.

These people panicked instantly, they were all happy when they took the silver, but now when something happens, they are all panicking.

I don't know who advocated that they actually got together again in Fanlou.

After a bit of blame for each other

Then they were suddenly surprised to find that Prime Minister Zhang He did not come.

"Which of you has seen Zhang Xiang, now that it has reached such an urgent situation, why didn't Zhang Xiang come?"

"I didn't see it!"

"I didn't see it either!"

"It seems that no one has notified Zhang Xiang, right?"

"I'll go!"

Immediately, someone recommended himself to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Zhang He.

However, at this moment, an old man came up downstairs, and this old man was dressed as a housekeeper: "But if there is someone close to Zhanghe, he will immediately recognize that this old man is the butler chapter of Prime Minister Zhanghe's mansion!" ”

Zhang walked upstairs, first glanced at the officials present with a pair of cloudy old eyes, and then said coldly: "Don't go to Xiangye, Xiangye won't come."

Xiangye said, now that it's such a time, you still dare to get together, aren't you afraid of being served by the prince? ”

Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that they had done something stupid in a hurry.

However, the words of the chapter were not over, I saw him looking at the full hall of officials, his eyes revealed contempt, but his face was calm: "Xiangye said, the matter has come to this, we must clear up the matter as soon as possible, the best way is to deal with those two, but after all, it is a member of the imperial court, and if it dies for no reason, it is even more suspicious."

But people, there will always be weaknesses, and there will always be people who will become more determined for the sake of their families. ”

After the chapter finished speaking, he turned around and left, but his words were like a thunderbolt, which suddenly woke everyone up.

Everyone in the hall heard the meaning of Zhang Xiang's words clearly.

At the same time, it is indeed the best choice at the moment!

Immediately, someone volunteered: "I know where those two people live, and I will settle his family, and it is up to you to pass on the news!" ”

"No problem! It's not that we don't have no manpower in the Imperial City Division, and at this time, the prince will definitely send the Imperial City Division to make a move, and when the time comes, I will let the secret son reveal the information to those two people.

Presumably, for the sake of the family's lives, they know what to do! ”

Immediately, someone stood up to receive the division of labor.

Soon, everything was placed properly, which also proved from the side how much energy this group of people had in the Great Song Dynasty, and even such a big thing could put their hands into it!

……

Imperial City Division dungeon!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

"Ahhh!!h

In the gloomy dungeon, the whipping of the whip and the wailing of the whipped were constantly resounding.

In the depths of the dungeon, on the two wooden crosses, two middle-aged people who had been stripped off and only had their underwear left were already covered in bruises.

In the incense stick just now, they had been whipped more than twenty times, and the leather whip stained with salt water was whipped on their bodies, and the taste was unbearable.

And these two people are none other than Pan Zuocheng and Lu Chengjie, the left and right waiters of the household department today!

After receiving the order, Li Wen immediately sent the Imperial City Division to arrest the two guys who had just received the news and were about to run away.

Immediately, these two people were taken to the dungeon of the Imperial City Division for torture, but until now, both of them were covered in bruises but still refused to admit it, and they never said anything about the list.

How could Li Wen believe their nonsense, and immediately increase the intensity of punishment.

Since you are not afraid of whips, try waterboarding!

Li Wen smiled hideously.

With a wave of his hand, a eunuch immediately put the two people down from the wooden frame, then tied them to the table, smiled and put a piece of rice paper on the two of them and began to drip water!

These eunuchs were all high-ranking eunuchs in the palace, and they also had another identity.

Not long ago, they were the same people who helped the prince approve the red.

Because of these civil officials, they lost the right to approve the red that they had obtained with great difficulty, which made all of them hate these civil officials.

Especially these civil officials who are related to the prime minister's chapter are the enemies of their enemies!

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were still useful, they would have been eager to give these two people to Ling Chi directly!

But even if they can't be delayed, the eunuchs who climbed all the way up from the lower levels still have a way to make these two people's lives worse!

They even hope that these two people can continue to be so stubborn, only in this way can they use more means on them!

Seeing that they had already begun to carry out the execution, Li Wen ordered him to be informed of the results and turned around and left the cell.

He was sure that these men would treat them well.

And as the eldest companion of the prince's side, he naturally can't leave the prince's side for a long time, so he has to go back.

The eunuchs tortured the two of them for an afternoon, until the evening, probably fearing that they would starve to death and have nothing to play.

This group of eunuchs asked the jailer to pour them some rice soup.

And during the time of pouring rice soup, no one noticed that the jailer's mouth was quietly saying something in the ears of the two.

In the next moment, the two of them, who were already a little unable to hold on, smiled bitterly, but they were ready to continue to persevere.

Those people out there are despicable enough!

They should have thought of it a long time ago, and now it's too late to regret it!
