Chapter 154: Unauthorized Trial of Cases
[The 71st year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 16, noon, Tsing Yi Wei Zhao Prison, Jiazi No. 16 cell]
At this time, Xu Ke stayed in the No. 16 prison of Jiazi, his mood was not only gloomy and depressed, but also extremely uneasy, for some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.
He had barely slept last night, leaning back on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, occasionally groggily falling asleep for a while, and then suddenly waking up again. After thinking about it, he was still very worried about the safety of everyone in his family......
At the beginning of Mao, when Ding Chunqiu brought breakfast, he asked Ding Datou, have you ever seen Nangong Qianhu?
Ding Chunqiu touched his big head, and his speech was a little hesitant, Xu Ke couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, so he had to hold it down and not ask.
Afterwards, Mingyue came to his cell and had breakfast with him.
After the two had breakfast, Xu Ke asked Mingyue if he was willing to go to Xu's Mansion for him and convey an important message to the people in Xu's Mansion?
However, Mingyue lowered her head and was unwilling to agree. According to Mingyue, it was easy for her to go out this time, but it was very difficult for her to come back here. Imagine what kind of place this edict is, where is she, a folk woman, who can come and go at will?
Xu Ke said, Miss Mingyue, after you simply go out, you will live with Sister Hu and them, this edict is such a filthy place, you don't want to come back!
However, it was good that Mingyue didn't listen, and when she heard Xu Ke's words, she immediately shook her head again and again, and this time, she didn't want to go out anymore.
However, Xu Ke listened to what Mingyue said, and felt that it was not unreasonable, after all, Mingyue had never entered the Xu Mansion, not only did she not know the location of the Xu Mansion, but she had never seen Hu Yiyi, Shu Hattian and others in the mansion, if she suddenly asked Mingyue to bring a letter and told everyone in the Xu Mansion to move away, such a major event, just based on the words of a woman who had never known her life, how could Hu Yiyi be credulous?
Moreover, after all, Xu Ke had already entrusted Nangong to be silent, and in Xu Ke's heart, Nangong would definitely not live up to his trust. Xu Ke thought in his heart, presumably at this time, Brother Nangong should have already brought the message, right?
So, he no longer forced Mingyue. How could he have expected that the Son of Heaven did not give Shen Huan an order, but directly ordered Nangong to make Nangong silently go to Xu's mansion to get demons. Nangong is silent, as the mastermind of the demon hunt, how can he go to the Xu Mansion to reveal the emperor's demon hunting scheme?
Mingyue had breakfast and started a busy day, and she fetched water, cleaned, removed dirt, and wiped the room as she did yesterday...... Xu Ke repeatedly persuaded Mingyue not to listen, but he had to follow her.
Xu Ke waited until noon, but he didn't wait for Nangong to come in to see him. He couldn't help but become more and more worried, and when he thought of the safety of the people in the Xu Mansion, his heart immediately became uneasy......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Chunqiu brought lunch on time. Xu Ke and Mingyue sat together at the square table in the cell and had lunch together.
At this time, a light cough suddenly came from outside the prison door, as if someone was about to come in, Xu Ke was overjoyed, and said secretly, Brother Nangong is really a trustworthy person, it seems that after he sent the letter, he finally came to see me!
I never thought that the person who walked into the No. 16 cell of the first word was not the thousand households of the North Anping Division, but the thousand households of the Southern Anping Division, Yang Wenyuan.
"Yang Wenyuan, what are you doing?"
When Xu Ke saw that it was Yang Wenyuan, he was extremely disappointed, and immediately turned around and sat on the wooden chair, his face full of coldness.
Yang Wenyuan was indifferent to Xu Ke's face, but he didn't care at all, he walked to Xu Ke's square table with a smile, looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but praise repeatedly:
"Xu Wuzhi, Xu Wuzhi, you are really not simple! Right now, you are already a serious offender, and you can still eat so extravagantly......! There are six plates for lunch, and they are almost in time for the 'first meal' in my Tsing Yi Wei!"
Xu Ke didn't raise his head, and snorted coldly: "Why, don't you also want to come to this prison and eat my bowl of 'prison rice'?"
"Xu Wuxi, at this time, you still dare to be so arrogant!" Yang Wenyuan suddenly turned pale, put on a proud and inviolable look, and said condescendingly: "You have now been deprived of office by the emperor and imprisoned, your identity is just a mere civilian, how can you still eat and drink so much in the imperial prison?
Xu Ke also scolded angrily: "Yang Wenyuan, what tricks do you have, even if you come at me, what does this have to do with Lord Nangong?!"
"Okay! You're tough! That official will come to treat you today...... Yang Wenyuan suddenly shouted outside the prison door: "Come on!"
Outside the prison door, eight strong Nan'an Pingsi guards rushed in, and the eight guards each held the torture instrument in their hands, and the expressions on their faces were also fierce.
Yang Wenyuan ordered loudly: "First of all, Xu Wuxian will be guilty of Naqin, and I will be locked with a chain!"
"Yes!"
The eight guards responded with a brush, and immediately strode forward, overturning the square table in front of Xu Ke, and the exquisite dishes on the table, Xu Ke and Mingyue had not yet started eating, and they had been overturned by the guards. The dishes were also shattered into pieces.
The guards set up Xu Ke violently, pulled him to the wall, and wanted to put the iron chain on Xu Ke's hands, feet and neck......
"You ...... What are you doing! Do you still have a royal law in broad daylight?" Mingyue saw this, her heart immediately panicked, and she shouted desperately. 360 Literature Network
Yang Wenyuan looked at the bright moon in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Miss Mingyue, I can't imagine that you are also here! What do you say we are doing, we are enforcing the royal law! Every prisoner who is imprisoned in the No. 16 Heavenly Prison of Jiazi must be chained, this is the rule in our Tsing Yi Guard! Tut-tut...... I said, you are a good girl, since the emperor has decreed to exempt you from your crimes, you don't stay outside, but you want to come to this edict to suffer, what are you trying to do?"
Mingyue then knelt down towards Yang Wenyuan and pleaded:
"Lord Yang, Lord Xu is the former Lord of a thousand households after all, please let Lord Xu go for the sake of your former colleagues......"
Yang Wenyuan nodded frequently and said, "Well...... It's easy to say, it's easy to say! For the sake of Miss Mingyue's face...... Yang Wenyuan stared at Mingyue's chest again, and said with a smile: "Lord Ben is happy to consider it, so spare him for the time being!"
Xu Ke turned his head and said, "Mingyue, don't go and beg him!"
Mingyue knelt on the ground, pleading and pleading:
"Please Lord Yang, let Master Xu go!"
"Eh......" Yang Wenyuan saw that Mingyue was already in the shape of pear blossoms and rain, and he couldn't help but be moved. At that moment, he hurriedly leaned down, personally helped Mingyue up, and said warmly: "This Xu Wuxian has no official position at the moment, but he is just a criminal who is to be punished, where is he still an 'adult', the girl must not be deceived by him!"
"Lord Yang, Mingyue begs you, please let Lord Yang spare him! Whatever the Lord asks Mingyue to do, Mingyue is willing to ......"
At this moment, the bright moon is already crying, tears are like rain, in her heart, she only hopes that Xu Ke can stay in prison safely, and she must not be tortured.
At this time, Xu Ke couldn't care about anything else, he struggled to break free of the guard's pull, strode to Mingyue's side, dragged Mingyue away from Yang Wenyuan, and walked a few steps quickly, pushing Mingyue out of the prison door, and whispered to Mingyue:
"You hurry up and go to find Ding Chunqiu!"
Xu Ke had just pushed Mingyue out of the prison door, and the eight fierce guards immediately rushed over, two guards grabbed his hands, two guards clamped his legs, and a guard with a broad waist and a round waist hugged him, and several guards worked together to pull him back to the wall.
At this time, although Xu Ke was forcibly held by the guards, he only needed a little force, and the guards would immediately be smashed into a dog by him. However, if this happens, he will become a crime of "blatant disobedience with the intention of murdering the chief judge", which is a capital crime according to the law of the Great Qian!
Xu Ke held his hands together, wanting to make a move, but he had some scruples, so he had to watch the eight guards take the five iron chains with thick bowl mouths, and choke his hands, feet, head and neck.
Yang Wenyuan looked at this scene, and couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart, he slowly walked to Xu Ke again, and said with a smile:
"Xu Wuxi, you are resisting, aren't you extraordinary in martial arts? Why don't you dare to move?"
Xu Ke's right hand shook, and due to his real strength, the thick iron chain of the bowl shook endlessly, making a long sound of "clang". However, his hands and feet were all handwritten at this time, and even if he wanted to resist, it was too late. At this time, he could only glare at Yang Wenyuan.
"Oh, I can't see it, you are so young, your internal strength is not bad? Your kung fu is really powerful, this thousand households have seen it, and they are so scared in their hearts!"
Yang Wenyuan took a wooden chair and sat in front of Xu Ke, not only with a smile in his eyes, but also with a strange yin and yang in his mouth.
He originally coveted Mingyue's beauty, and didn't want Xu Ke to let Mingyue go, but he thought about it again, today, the top and bottom of the North Division have gone to Xu's Mansion to get demons, and he is the only one in the edict prison, and after he finishes cleaning up Xu Ke, it's not too late to find Mingyue!
Yang Wenyuan's interest today is all about cleaning up Xu Ke's head, and he doesn't care much about other "fun" in front of him.
At this time, Xu Ke immediately reprimanded angrily: "Yang Wenyuan, what do you want to do?!"
"What are you doing?" Yang Wenyuan still smiled and said, "Ben Qianhu is here, of course he is here to judge you!"
"Judge me, what am I guilty of?"
"Bold Xu is not sick!" Yang Wenyuan pointed at Xu Ke, shouted angrily, and then said:
"The Holy Lord made it clear in his will, you fornicated with demons and hidden big demons in the mansion! You indulged the cat demon in order to harm the capital in the front, and you deceived the saint and disobeyed the dynasty in the back! You colluded with the demons and secretly communicated with the demons; you sat back and watched the cat demon poison the creatures and abuse the capital; you still made friends with the demons and became friends with the demons, and you were embarrassed! You still dare to say, what kind of crime do you have? Today, this thousand households are here, why don't you quickly invite the truth about how you fornicated with the demons and abused the capital?!"
Xu Ke sneered:
"Yang Wenyuan, even if the emperor wants to send someone to interrogate me, it won't be your turn to be a person from Nan'an Pingsi, right?"
"How...... I'm a thousand households in the South Division, and I can't judge you as a flat-headed commoner?"
Xu Ke sneered three times again, and said in a mocking tone:
"Yang Wenyuan, you are just taking advantage of the fire to rob, you just want to come and see my Xu someone's jokes! What means do you have, even if you use it! If I frown, I won't be called Xu Ke!"
