Zheng Cha took it away very undignified.

Counting up to several generations, they are old people in prison, even if they are imprisoned for their crimes, they will eat and drink well without being punished, and they will leave a whole corpse before they die.

This is the unspoken rule of the prison.

The first is to leave a way back for oneself, and the other is to prevent the prisoners from climbing and biting indiscriminately.

The jailer, or all the officials, are not innocent, and as long as they are willing to investigate, they are all guilty.

For example, a scribe who makes the officials unhappy can be sent to a prison cell if he finds a crime at will.

For example, the mortuary officer, who obviously does not have any money, still has to post the copper coins of the corpse collector, but he can eat and drink without worrying about saving his family.

Not to mention the jailer with a lot of oil and water, who doesn't have a yard in the capital?

The officials never relied on Yulu to live, but on this tiger skin!

"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, we have to let you go decently."

Li Ping'an took the bamboo box, carefully helped Zheng Cha to sort out his remains, sew up the wounds, wipe off the blood, and took off his prison clothes and changed into a shroud.

Lying peacefully on the straw mat, just like the king's shopkeeper last winter.

"We don't believe in Buddhism, but we have to believe in cause and effect."

Li Ping'an can't be a good person, but he won't do evil, lest he suffer retribution one day.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Dabao, the son of Zheng Chapai, came to the mortuary to receive the corpse, and when he saw his father's peaceful appearance, he gave Li Ping'an five taels of silver.

"Thank you, Brother Ping'an."

"It should."

Li Ping'an gently rubbed the silver ingot, thoughtful.

The pillars of the Zheng family are gone, but Zheng Dabao is still generous, and obviously has a way to make money.

"It's time to take over!"

The jailer is also an iron rice bowl, and the father and son have passed down the torch one after another, and rarely recruit people outside.

First, outsiders don't understand the unspoken rules and have to be taught from scratch. Second, I am afraid that I will recruit an honest person, and I can't see it and report it.

It's uncertain whether it can be brought down, after all, it will make the court look bad!

"The fourth uncle may have really committed suicide, took all the charges, and paved the way for his son with his life."

There was definitely more than one person who was in charge of the torture interrogation king, and there was no nod from the prison officials, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion also commanded the immovable jailers.

Now there is no evidence to die, and the case is closed.

The officials in the prison thanked Zheng for his kindness and recruited Zheng Dabao as a jailer, which is logical.

A few days to come.

Shi Santian sent the corpses of officials every day, most of them were second-level deputies, and they were below the seventh grade.

When the family members of the officials came to collect the bones, no one cried out for injustice, and it was obvious that the deceased's buttocks were not clean.

These dead are not because of greed for ink, but because of bad luck and bad luck, and someone has to bear the blame for the thirty major sins.

Those who are alive are not greedy, and they are only useful for the time being.

"It seems that Wei Yuanhou can't do it!"

Li Ping'an has experienced the change of his birthday, and when he saw the people who died in the rain of arrows, he became more and more aware of what the "imperial court" was.

As the only trace of thought left in my heart to change the world disappears, and when I look back at the imperial court, I can see the essence through the phenomenon.

The stability of the imperial power is greater than everything!

……

Palace.

Diligent Palace.

Dozens of arm-thick whale oil candles are smokeless and tasteless, and the palace illuminated is as bright as day.

Emperor Jianwu is reviewing the folds.

Since ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he has never slackened in the past 38 years, and all the twists and turns will be reviewed in person, and he has hardly slept before the ugly time.

Fortunately, the foundation of martial arts is strong, and if you change the emperor, you would have been exhausted to death.

Approaching the sub-time.

The newly appointed chief eunuch Kang Gonggong reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has been kneeling outside the palace for six hours. ”

"Hmm, let him in."

Emperor Jianwu moved his lower waist: "I'm old, I'm old, I have a sore back and legs after a while, but I was a military general who could lead the troops to charge into battle and capture the flag!" ”

Gonggong Kang patted his horse and said: "Long live Your Majesty's long life, the dragon spirit and the tiger are fierce, so you won't get old." ”

"Everyone in the world shouts long live me, who can really live it, not even the Holy Ancestor can ......"

Emperor Jianwu's voice was erratic, as if he was self-deprecating, but also seemed to mean something.

A moment later.

The two attendants helped the prince Zhao Xin into the hall, knelt under the steps and bowed three times and nine times.

"The son visits his father."

Zhao Xin was born to Emperor Jianwu's original wife, he was already fifty years old, his face was old and his hair was gray, and he seemed to be Emperor Jianwu's peers.

"Get up, give me a seat."

Emperor Jianwu asked directly: "The crown prince plans to intercede for Marquis Weiyuan?" ”

Zhao Xin's buttocks had not yet touched Jindun, and when he heard the words, he got up and knelt down again: "The son of the emperor implores his father to remember the past merits of the Marquis of Weiyuan and forgive his guilt." ”

Emperor Jianwu said unceremoniously: "Isn't it for your father-in-law's sake?" ”

The concubine of the Marquis of Weiyuan is the crown princess, and she is also the prince's biggest helper to sit in the East Palace.

The current Empress Cui was originally a noble concubine, and she inherited the throne after the death of the queen, and the two princes under her knees are quite different in age from Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin's face turned pale with fright, he was silent for a long time, and he mustered up the courage to say.

"What my father said is right, Marquis Weiyuan is loyal to his sons, and he can't help it."

"Marquis Wei Yuan's private possession of heavy armor, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Emperor Jianwu was quite satisfied with his head, in the past, the prince was gentle and cowardly, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, but today he finally has a little responsibility.

Zhao Xin had a draft before he came: "All the responsibilities of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the son is willing to bear it with all his might, and ask his father to punish him!" ”

"Remember what I said today, if Marquis Weiyuan makes another mistake in the future, I will punish you directly."

Emperor Jianwu picked up a blank piece of holy paper, waved his hand and threw it in front of Zhao Xin: "Fill in the name yourself, I want you to kill three percent, degrade three percent, and release three percent!" ”

Only have the courage to be an emperor, but also learn to kill.

"The retainers obey."

Zhao Xin kowtowed again and again, he never thought that it would be so simple to save the Marquis of Weiyuan, a little guilt and infamy are nothing, and the most important thing is to stabilize the position of the prince.

After that, he held high the holy decree and withdrew from the palace of diligence.

Emperor Jianwu looked at the night outside the hall, dark and boundless, and suddenly sighed.

"I really want to behead the Marquis of Weiyuan, and those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, all of them will be punished by the Nine Clans, and the people will be given justice!"

The expansion of the Weiyuan Marquis case by the Zhenfu Division was at the behest of Emperor Jianwu.

Now there are not only military attachés in prison, but also civil officials from the Ministry of Officials and Households, and even many royal nobles of the Zhao family.

Due to the arrest of too many officials, there were many vacancies in the early dynasty queue, which looked uneven.

As the Zhenfu Division conducted an in-depth investigation and learned that the corruption of officials was serious, even Emperor Jianwu was shocked.

The old brothers who swept the world back then have more or less deteriorated, and the words of restoring Lang Lang Qiankun are still in their ears, and they have become moths in the blink of an eye.

"It's just that I'm really old!"

Emperor Jianwu knew his own family affairs, and relied on martial arts to support his energy, and he might die one day.

Twenty years ago, it would have been a river of blood.

"Your Majesty is also for the sake of the stability of the country."

Gonggong Kang bowed down and said: "The prince is generous and benevolent, he will be a benevolent monarch in the future, and the people of the world are blessed!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Xin held a blank holy decree and showed grace to the officials in prison, it was obvious that the position of the prince was unbreakable, and the one in the harem had no chance at all, so he hurriedly patted his ass and said good things.

The chamberlain is a royal servant, and no matter how powerful he is now, he will have to overthrow and start over when the new king ascends the throne.

"I hope so."

This is also one of Emperor Jianwu's considerations.

After Emperor Wu, Emperor Jiewen recuperated, which was conducive to the continuation of the dynasty.
