Chapter 125: Imprisoned
Da Kui went downstairs all the way, and the Praetorian Guards escorted him out of the post house.
There was a blue silk soft sedan chair outside the 'gate', and more than 100 ironclad soldiers stood solemnly on the street. Da Kui couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart: 'The Beijing Ironclad Army is the exclusive army to protect the palace.
Da Kui got into the soft sedan chair, and the team immediately headed east, and walked for about half an hour, and then they came to a housestead. The small guy in front of the door hurriedly opened the middle door, the team did not stop, and the fish entered. Da Kui sat in the sedan chair, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
It is still a flying eaves pavilion, it is still a rockery, the only difference is that things are not people.
Just when Da Kui was suspicious in his heart, he was greeted by a person, and Da Kui recognized that he was the new 'waiter' of the Criminal Department, Lang Sheng Yuanfu.
"Master Zhang, don't come unharmed." Sheng Yuanfu took the lead and walked up to the front and hugged his fists to salute.
Da Kui smiled slightly, and replied, "I don't know what the purpose of Lord Sheng brought the official here.
Sheng Yuanfu saw Da Kui say this, and couldn't help but wonder: "How can the lower officials have this ability." As he spoke, he pretended to be very careful and said, "The emperor is here."
"Oh, since the emperor has arrived, then please take the official to face the saint quickly." Saying that, Da Kui should go first, Sheng Yuanfu followed, all the way, Da Kui asked, "I don't know where the emperor is now."
Sheng Yuanfu replied behind him: "In the Xiao 'Spring' Garden."
The garden is the most beautiful courtyard in this mansion.When it comes to the spring season, the flowers are splendid and beautiful.The couplets on both sides of the corner and the door are still fresh in my memory: the dawn of spring, the fireworks of March, the rain of flowers, the moon wind of the late autumn and the moon wind, that is, the poetry, the artistic conception of the garden, and this couplet with the garden of the dawn of spring is appropriate.
When I turned the corner of the house, I saw the corner of the "gate" of the "spring" garden. The two brocade-clothed guards in front of the door stood with knives, and Da Kui walked to the front of the door. The guards both stretched out their hands to block the way.
Seeing this, Da Kui not only turned back to see Sheng Yuanfu, Sheng Yuanfu bypassed Da Kui and entered the garden.' The guards did not stop them.
Da Kui was a little uneasy in his heart. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling 'door'. He once received 300,000 taels of silver from Miao Hexuan in Linjiang.
Da Kui didn't ask, Sheng Yuanfu did ask in a low voice: "The emperor has an edict."
Hearing this, Da Kui hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt on his knees: "Minister Zhang Dakui takes the order."
"I have heard of the secret music, you accepted a bribe of 300,000 taels of silver on the occasion of a business trip in Linjiang. Sheng Yuanfu asked solemnly.
Da Kui's mind turned: The cashier is real, but it is not because Xu Ren is an official. Although the silver is blackmailed, it has nothing to do with others.
Thinking of this, Da Kui said sadly: "The minister has been wronged, and the reason for this is that I hope that the saint will be honored."
Sheng Yuanfu finished speaking, and then he smiled and stepped forward to help Da Kui up.
"The emperor is interested today, he came to this Xiao 'Spring' Garden and walked around, he just asked and went back to the palace. Sheng Yuanfu chuckled and turned around to leave, but then turned around and instructed: "The emperor said, let Lord Zhang live in this house, it's better than living in a post house, and there are people waiting for you in the morning and evening." After saying that, he entered the corner 'door', presumably through the back 'door'.
Da Kui stood in front of the 'door', only to feel that the world is difficult and dangerous, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
For this house, Da Kui is familiar with the 'door' and the road, there are several maids and servants in the house, and there are people to serve in the house, but the front and rear 'doors' are guarded by the Praetorian Guards. Da Kui wants to go to the street for a walk, but the soldiers guarding in front of the 'door' said coldly: "The emperor has an edict, and the people in the palace are not allowed to go out of the 'door' without the holy decree." Seeing this, Da Kui had no choice but to give up.
Approaching evening, Da Kui saw the mother-in-law who was buying vegetables out of the 'door', couldn't help but be a little curious, followed not far behind him, until the 'door', saw the mother-in-law swaggering out of the 'door', and did not see the Praetorian Guards to stop him.
In the house, Da Kui eats when he is hungry, sleeps when he is sleepy, stretches his muscles and bones to practice when he is idle, and is also comfortable and happy.
As the days passed, Da Kui couldn't stand it anymore, there were dozens of people in the house, but they didn't say anything, they didn't smile, they didn't speak, what did Da Kui need, he just greeted, but at most he just asked, "What do you command?" "Yes." Then there are no words, one by one, like half a dumb person, and everything is at most two sentences.
There are still twenty soldiers in the post house waiting for him to go back, and the song in his arms has not yet been played.
Emperor Taizu naturally knew Zhang Dakui's ability, and how could he be weak with people who often encountered 'spring' battles.
Although the courtyard is deep and the red wall is blue, if you want to get out of the 'door', it is nothing more than to go over the wall. How can a man who is open-minded do unwise things?
Da Kui is wandering in the 'flower' garden, thinking about his wife and son at home, and there is another person who makes Da Kui even more haunted.
If you say that Huang Ying is a good wife and mother, Sima Yan is her confidante, every word she says is right, she says that she will have a big disaster when she returns to Beijing.
Da Kui was thinking about his thoughts, and a subordinate came to the garden and bowed to Da Kui and said, "Lord Zhang, Lord Lang Sheng Yuanfu Sheng, the 'servant' of the Criminal Department, has been waiting in the front hall for a long time."
Hearing this, Da Kui waved his hand and said, "I know, this official will go to lead the way immediately."
Da Kui followed behind him and thought, 'It's time for the storm to come.'
Turning the corridor, passing through a moon 'door', Da Kui was led to the front hall by his subordinates, and as soon as he saw Sheng Yuanfu's face, Da Kui immediately asked, "What did the emperor say?"
Sheng Yuanfu said with a smile: "The emperor just said four words. After speaking, Sheng Yuanfu's face was 'pale', without a trace of smile, and he took out the yellow silk holy decree from his sleeve and raised his voice: "Zhang Dakui takes the order."
Sheng Yuanfu opened the holy decree and read: "After a detailed investigation by the Criminal Department, Zhang Dakui, the political envoy of Jiangnan Tong, betrayed his official position in Linjiang on official business in order to make 'private' profits, and it is intolerable to favor 'private' and corrupt the state law. As soon as the words fell, two soldiers rushed into the hall, and Da Kui's heart was full of thoughts, and he stood up.
Sheng Yuanfu smiled at Da Kui and said, "Lord Zhang, please." As he spoke, he raised his hand sideways, and Da Kui didn't say anything more, so he should go to the 'door' first.
It is still a blue-topped sedan chair, and it is still guarded by more than 100 soldiers.
The deep mansion compound of the criminal department, the deep and solemn atmosphere is the same as in the past, Da Kui is so familiar with all this, the blue silk sedan chair enters the compound, although Da Kui is sitting in the sedan chair, he also feels that the atmosphere is different from the past, but more is deeply lonely.
The sedan chair stopped, Da Kui got off the sedan chair and was taken by the yacha to the backyard, the backyard is where the prison cell is.
As long as the emperor does not decree, then Da Kui is still a product.
The smell in the cell was extremely unpleasant, the light was 'dark' and the walls were 'damp' and wet, and the prisoners who were locked in it were all wearing their hair and bleeding their clothes.
"My lord, spare your life."
"Wronged, sir."
The cries for mercy are endless, and Da Kui strides forward with his head up, deaf to the cries around him.
When Da Kui entered the innermost cell, the prisoner's door slammed shut, and then the prisoners were locked with a bang, and the prisoners not only scoffed, but one of the prisoners laughed, "It's just like us, and it's also a prisoner."
Another said: "How can it be the same, people are big officials, look at people's official uniforms, at least they are a government minister."
At this moment, two officials passing by the corridor scolded on the left: "You thieves, chew your tongue and cut off your tongue." This sentence really works, and no one says a word more at once.
There is a way that the phoenix that has fallen on the shelf is not as good as the 'chicken'.
The four walls of the cell are covered with bluestone, only a small air window, or a wall two feet high, a broken wooden 'bed' in the cell, a wooden table, a bench, and nothing else.
"It's a young girl, and there's even a lamp." Da Kui couldn't help but curse, came to sit down on the bench, looked at the simple furnishings in the room, Da Kui couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart: 'The moon has 'yin' and the sun is short.
The sun had set outside the window.The light in the cell began to dim.It gradually turned to black.Da Kui sat like this.He sat for two hours.Except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing outside the window.Da Kui couldn't hear the slightest sound.This cell was in the innermost room of the cell.The four walls of bluestone Gao Lei were cut off from the outside world.Not only the sound.Even the warmth and coldness of the world had nothing to do with Da Kui.Think about the past.Several life and death seemed to have happened in the previous life.
Da Kui got up and walked to the bed, sat down and lay down in his clothes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"I don't know how the emperor will decide.If he is angry and kills.Then it's no wonder that others.' Da Kui thought of this.'
