The prison of the Criminal Department.

The thick stone walls separated the small cells, the dim light felt oppressive and terrifying, and there were no windows in the cells, except for a small door for the jailers to enter and exit.

Duren lay weakly in the damp and dreary cell, the originally clean prison clothes were now ragged, and the blood stains and the yellow stains leaking out of his lower body could prove that he had had a hard time in prison these days.

The Criminal Department has always been at odds with Dongchang, the main reason is that it chokes on each other with the Zhenguo under Dongchang all the year round, although Si Shangshu Lu Nanyuan is a two-faced, even if he is not used to what Dongchang does on weekdays, but on the surface, he does not leak, that is, that day, a group of officials from the Sixth Department were taken to the factory prison by Wen Chen, and they just honestly paid the silver and got out, without too many complaints.

But now that the East Factory has changed, not only was Wei Cheng, the factory official, accidentally killed, but also the two eunuchs who were arrested for their crimes, and it seems that these eunuchs who have always been arrogant and domineering are not far from beheading.

So Lu Nanyuan also adheres to the fine tradition of beating water dogs in Dasheng officialdom, even if he completely grasps the evidence of the crimes of Du Lun and several people, the beating and torture for two hours a day is still indispensable.

Squeak –

The door to Durham's cell was opened, and three figures entered.

Du Lun looked up, his eyes were slightly cloudy, and he couldn't see the face of the person in the dim light, but he subconsciously felt that the man standing at the front seemed to be very familiar.

"Two fathers-in-law, Duren is here, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Lu Nan bowed far away and arched his hand towards Wen Chen and Pei Zhi.

Although he wondered in his heart why Wen Chen, who was in cahoots with Du Lun at the beginning, did not have anything at all at this time, but became a celebrity in front of His Majesty, but Pei Zhi, who had always only served by the Queen Mother's side, was also obedient to this young man, and he also suppressed his inner curiosity and acted according to the rules.

Wen Chen bowed slightly, raised his hand, "Put Lord Du in the flail and send someone back to the mansion." ”

Lu Nanyuan was stunned for a moment, "Gonggong Wen, this joke can't be made, Du Lun is a repeat offender in the imperial court, my criminal department has already mastered the evidence that he drafted more Kan people's lives and bent the law for bribes, and the official's fold has been handed to His Majesty, maybe His Majesty will issue an order to behead this person in a few days, how can you say that he will let him go?" ”

Wen Chen didn't bother to explain to him, and glanced at Pei Zhi, "Master Pei, come on." ”

Pei Zhi answered, took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, cleared his throat, and said seriously:

"Lu Nanyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the order!"

Lu Nanyuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The minister is here!" ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

The eunuchs Du Lun and Li Deye, the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch, Ke Donglai, the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and Peng Tianrui, the Qianhu of the Zhenguo Division, have formed a party and private for many years, filled their private pockets, and deceived the monarch to the great evil, but the four of them took the initiative to confess their crimes, and there were meritorious deeds, and I was very relieved, so it was decided that the four of them would offset their merits, be acquitted, and the officials would be reinstated in the future!

Chin this! ”

"Huh?" Lu Nanyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, raised his head blankly, "What meritorious deeds have these four people made?" Why doesn't the official know? ”

Pei Zhi glanced at him, "Your Majesty said yes, they have!" ”

"Lu Shangshu is not going to take the order soon?"

Lu Nan glanced at Duren who was struggling to get up, and sighed helplessly, only hating himself for being indecisive, he didn't take the lives of these four people in the past few days, who knows what His Majesty thinks about one out of one?

Once these four scourges are reinstated, they will definitely find ways to take revenge on themselves for torturing them in different tricks in the past few days, which will be another big trouble!

But it's too late......

"Minister, Lu Nanyuan takes the order."

Wen Chen saw that this Lord Shangshu had an ugly face, and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Lord Lu, please rest assured, as long as Lord Lu does his best to serve His Majesty, our family can guarantee that the four people who came out of the prison of the Criminal Department today will never be detrimental to Lord Lu." ”

Lu Nanyuan looked at him hesitantly, "What does Gonggong Wen say counts?" ”

"Of course!" Wen Chen smiled, squatted down and pressed Duren, who was about to get up, again, slapped the wound on his back, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't take it as an example, if you stab our family in the future, our family will definitely let you come back to this place, do you understand?"

No matter how stupid Du Lun is, he can think that now His Majesty suddenly agreed to release a few of them, it must be Wen Chen who is in the middle, and his head is like pounding garlic, "The little one understands, the little one is clear!" ”

"In the future, the little one will be yours of Master Wen, and the little one must be the first to see Ye Wen!"

"!" Wen Chen glared at him, "Your Majesty's life is Your Majesty's!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Wen Ye said that whoever is is whoever! ”

Wen Chen nodded with satisfaction and patted Du Lun's weed-filled head, "After you go back and deal with the wound, hurry up and report to the East Factory, there are many things to do these days, don't make any more mistakes!" ”

"Also, tell Li Deye the location of the factory father, don't think about it, Your Majesty has his own arrangements!"

When Wei Cheng was still there, these two people were inseparable because of the struggle for power and power, and at this time, they should also beat and beat, so that these two eunuchs can think about something serious every day!

"It's already an accident that the little one can save this life, how dare you rob Wen ......"

"Shut up!" Wen Chen brutally interrupted, "Don't say what you shouldn't say!" ”

"Yes, it's ......" The great eunuch who has been in the court for many years is now like a well-behaved and sensible little white rabbit in front of Wen Chen.

Wen Chen got up and nodded his chin towards Lu Nan, "Send someone to send them back." ”

"This official will do it!" Lu Nanyuan responded.

"Let the people below do these little things, Lord Lu will take us to Nangong Que."

Lu Nanyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise, "Your Majesty wants to interrogate Nangong Que?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" Pei Zhi frowned on the side.

Lu Nanyuan gritted his teeth, bowed his head and arched his hand, "Please ask the two fathers-in-law to come with this official." ”

The three of them got out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and they chatted without a word.

"Lord Lu, no one else has been in contact with Nangong Que and the others in the past few days, right?" Wen Chen asked.

Lu Nanyuan nodded, "According to His Majesty's orders, Nangong Que is extremely accomplice, and they are all independently imprisoned in the felony dungeon by this official, and they can't even see a mosquito every day, except for the jailer who delivers food!" ”

Wen Chen snorted and raised his eyebrows at Pei Zhi beside him.

Pei Zhi understood, and whistled in the southwest direction, and as soon as the whistle fell, an agile black shadow came out from behind the corner of the wall not far away, it was another old eunuch who was waiting for the Queen Mother, Qiu Delu!

"What do you mean by the three fathers-in-law?" Lu Nanyuan was a little puzzled.

"Hand over the key to the dungeon, and Lord Lu can leave." Wen Chen said softly.

"Father-in-law Wen, I can't help it!" Lu Nanyuan said with a panicked expression, "Nangong Que and the others are serious criminals who assassinated the Queen Mother, and such sinners must not be let go!" ”

Wen Chen snorted, "There are many words, is Lord Lu in charge of this court, or is His Majesty in charge?" ”

Lu Nanyuan's expression froze, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”

With that, he took out a bunch of keys from his arms and respectfully handed them to Wen Chen.

Sending the three of them to the entrance of the dungeon guarded by heavy soldiers, Lu Nanyuan also listened to the order, sent all the officers and soldiers left behind, and saw the three of them enter the dungeon.

In the dark narrow passage, Wen Chen casually threw the keychain into Jude Lu's hand, "Trouble Master Qiu." ”

Jude Lu snorted, "You kid even dare to kill Wei Chengdu, these little fish and shrimp can't do it?" ”

Wen Chen smiled, "The little one who killed Wei Cheng at the beginning was an instinctive reaction to the desire to survive, unlike Master Qiu, who can take killing people as a hobby." ”

It's a joke, but it's also the truth.

Even if he made the decision to kill Nangong Que's accomplices, he didn't want to do it himself, after all, he still had a subconscious rejection of the murder.

According to Pei Zhi, this old eunuch now looks like a pure heart and few desires, when he was young, he was murderous and heavy, and the cruelty of his methods was outrageous, and even the first emperor gave him a nickname - the king of killing!
