On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Chenshi, Chang'an City, Tsing Yi Wei Bei Anping Division.

Xu Ke only entered the Tsing Yi Guard, so he went straight to the governor Shen Huan and gave a brief return to the governor of the city to escort Qincha, and Shen Huan naturally said a word of comfort and encouragement. Speaking of the fact that the Qincha convoy was attacked by assassins at the mouth of the West Gorge in Xichuan Prefecture, Shen Dudu praised Xu Ke for sacrificing his life to protect the Qincha, and also said that he would personally fold a book for Xu Ke and ask the emperor for merit. Subsequently, Xu Ke returned to his official office in Bei'an Pingsi.

As soon as Xu Ke entered the signing room, he immediately called Ding Chunqiu, the flag leader who was under his control. Xu Ke asked Ding Chunqiu if there was a prisoner named Li Junxian in the edict. Ding Chunqiu hurriedly said that Li Junxian, the general of the Zuo Wuwei, was a felony convicted by the emperor's decree, and was being held alone in cell No. 16 of Jiazi at this time.

Xu Ke ordered Ding Chunqiu and himself to go to the edict immediately, and he was about to interrogate this important prisoner of the imperial court. Ding Chunqiu looked embarrassed and said to Xu Ke:

"Xu Baihu, this No. 16 cell, Sun Qianhu has repeatedly explained before, no one is allowed to enter to visit without his warrant!"

"This official is going to interrogate the important prisoner in person, where is the 'visit'? Don't talk nonsense! Follow me immediately!"

Ding Chunqiu still hesitated, but Xu Ke raised the Kunwu sword in his hand at him, bluffing him into quickly nodding his head in agreement. He said in his heart: "You two are my ancestors! One is the chief official of the entire Bei'an Ping Division, a thousand households from Sanpin; the other is a hundred households appointed by the emperor, and there is a deadly 'Shangfang Sword' in his hand! I am recruiting someone to provoke whom, and I am caught between your two ancestors......

Ding Chunqiu called his two big leaders, one Wang Dalong, one Zhao Sanma, and several people surrounded Xu Ke and came to the edict prison.

Speaking of this terrifying edict in the world, Xu Ke also had personal experience before. He was first locked up in Tyumenli's cell, and then in another cell with the number C. At that time, Xu Ke only stayed in the edict prison for half a day, but even the experience of these five hours was like a nightmare in Xu Ke's heart.

After four months, Xu Ke can be regarded as a "revisit" today. He walked through cell C again, and felt only that it was mildewy and rancid, and the whole cell was dark, damp, cold, and terrible, and the moans and cries of prisoners were everywhere. Xu Ke walked through the cage full of prisoners and looked at the unkempt prisoners. I saw that some of the prisoners had their legs and feet broken and were lying on the ground struggling; some of the prisoners had already been tortured by gouging out their eyes, leaving only deep black holes in their two eye sockets, but they were still alive, lying by the cell door in a daze; some prisoners had their noses cut off, revealing only two huge nostrils, and when they saw Xu Ke walking over, they kept waving to them, and they couldn't hear the sound of shouting from their mouths, as if shouting: "Let me out......!" Upon closer inspection, the tongue in the prisoner's mouth was also cut off alive, leaving only some fragments of flesh...... As for those who were tortured with sticks and whipping, they were even more numerous, and at a glance there were bloodied and ragged men, lying or sitting on the same rancid and gloomy ground as they were, all with dull eyes and blank eyes...... Throughout the prison cell, there was an air of death and despair.

Xu Ke and his entourage passed through the cell C, and the relevant jailers had already opened the iron door for them, and the four of them walked into the cell B inside. The scene inside is the same as that of the C-shaped cell, full of gloomy winds and miserable screams...... Xu Ke couldn't help but think in his heart, if it weren't for Qiu Mingli's wit and a clever plan for himself, if he still survived in the world now, wouldn't he be no different from those prisoners in prison? Looking at those prisoners with mutilated limbs and unrecognizable faces, Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "If you teach me to become like them, I would rather bite my tongue and kill myself immediately......

But if you really come to that moment, will you bite your tongue and kill yourself? What if you bite your tongue and bleed endlessly, and you still can't die?!...... Xu Ke couldn't imagine this.

The four of them went to the innermost cell in the Imperial Prison. The cell No. A is also known as the cell No. Tianzi, and it is all held by those important prisoners. And once the prisoners are put in the Tianzi cell, they are often waiting for capital crimes.

According to the rules, the number A cell is not allowed to enter the cell easily, and the guard at the door of the cell is also the most strict, and there are two iron gates, and they are thick and heavy. When the captain guarding the cell No. A saw that it was Ding Chunqiu coming, he hurriedly bowed his hand, and heard that it was Lord Xu, the chief of the Bei'an Ping Division, who was going to personally interrogate the prisoner, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took out several keys and opened the big lock on the iron door.

Under the guidance of Ding Chunqiu, Xu Ke finally found the No. 16 cell where Li Junxian was imprisoned.

It was a secret room in the far corner, and it was dark. There is a special team of guards guarding the door of the secret room, led by a small leader.

When Xiao Zuo saw Ding Chunqiu and hurriedly stepped forward to beat a thousand, and when he heard Ding Chunqiu say that the person wearing the official uniform of the lake blue peacock behind him was actually the chief of the hundred households, Lord Xu, he hurriedly bowed to Xu Ke again. However, after Ding Chunqiu explained his intentions, the little leader refused to open the door anyway, but said vigorously, Sun Qianhu strictly ordered no one to enter, if he opened the door at this time, it would be known by Lord Qianhu, and his life would be necessary.

Xu Ke felt impatient in his heart, he shook the sword in his hand in the air, and shouted: "If you don't open the door again, don't wait for Sun Qianhu, this official will be immediately."

Took your dog's life!"

Seeing this, the little leader immediately knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy. Ding Chunqiu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "The Kunwu sword in the hands of Lord Xu is a sword given by Lord Wansui, and you can cut it first and then play it below the fifth grade, don't say that you are a small leader, it is us who hold the flag, Lord Xu is not happy one day, you can give it a 'click' at will! If you don't want to live, you can try it today......

When had Xiao Zuo Ling seen this kind of formation? He thought to himself that Sun Qianhu was still outside after all, and if he didn't agree at this moment, his head would immediately fall off. So he hurriedly took out the key and opened the cell door tremblingly.

Xu Ke walked into the cell, and through the faint light that came through the cell door, he saw a man lying in the corner of the cell, who was lying motionless on the ground at this time, and did not know whether he was dead or alive. Xu Ke immediately ordered someone to light the lamp, and Wang Dalong and Zhao Sanma hurriedly took two oil lamps from the guards. When the lights suddenly turned on, Xu Ke couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it......

At this time, Li Junxian, the famous general of Zuo Wuwei, was leaning against the wall on his back, his hands and feet were shackled, and his body and face were covered with blood. The most shocking thing is that he is also wearing an iron chain on the left and right pipa bones at the upper end of his chest, and the other end of the chain is attached to the wall at each end of the cell. With these two chains passing through your chest, no matter how good your martial arts are, you will be like a waste at this moment. Moreover, once your lute bone is pierced, even a slight movement and pulling the chain will bring a piercing pain. After this Li Junxian's pipa bone was pierced, he had to lie on the ground, his eyes closed, motionless......

"How can this be reasonable! Who asked you to put a chain on his pipa bone? Quickly remove it!" Xu Ke couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Li Junxian was so abused, he secretly said that even if he was guilty, he couldn't be tortured like this, not to mention that he was not guilty?!

The little leader next to him said with a sad face: "Lord of the hundred households, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is the one ......who put iron chains on his pipa bones with the special orders of the thousands of households."

"Bold! This official asked you to untie the chain, so hurry up and untie it! Are you still afraid that he won't be able to escape!" Xu Ke shouted.

"This ...... This ...... "The little leader was really in trouble at this time. He said in his heart that this pipa bone ordered by Lord Sun to wear the chain, how can it be explained and explained? What's more, he Li Junxian is just a dying man, what can he do to chain him? Although you are a hundred households, it is already a violation of the order for me to make an exception and let you in, if these iron chains are removed again, if this is known by Lord Sun, I will not be able to peel off a layer of my skin!

Even Ding Chunqiu and the others next to Xu Ke had the same thoughts. They also thought that this person was condemned by the emperor as a felony for the crime of rebellion, and although Lord Qianhu gave him a heavier sentence, it was also within the rules. As soon as you Xu Baihu comes up, you have to give people a chain, this ...... However, Ding Chunqiu, Wang Dalong, and Zhao Sanma Ke had all learned Xu Ke's temper, and they didn't dare to come forward to persuade him at this time.

"Are you going to untie the chain?" Xu Ke drew his sword and half-exposed its sheath, threatening.

"I'll ...... Go, go!" The little leader had no choice but to take out the key and move forward slowly......

"Who told you to untie the chains?!" At this time, a cold cry came from behind, and everyone turned around, only to see a slender man walking from the shadows outside the cell, he was long and long-handed, with a white face and no blood, a hooked nose and fine rat whiskers, it was the Qianhu Sun Xun of the North Anping Division. Behind Sun Xun, Yang Wenyuan was also followed.

When everyone saw Sun Xun coming, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and each said, "See Lord Qianhu!"

"I told him to open the chain!" Xu Ke didn't salute when he saw Sun Xun, but protested.

"You are so bold! This Li Junxian is a rebellious felony convicted by the emperor's decree! Without the permission of this department, you dare to interrogate him privately, and you dare to go to the chain for him, do you want to exonerate him? Or is this rebellion a part of your Xu Ke?" Sun Xun asked in a deep voice towards Xu Ke.

"Master Sun, don't put a big hat on my head at every turn! Since I am the chief of the Bei'an Ping Division, it is my duty to take charge of the edict and the arraignment of prisoners. As for these chains? I would like to ask, is it also the emperor's order to let you do this by putting iron chains on the prisoner's pipa bones?"

"You...... You!...... Ahem, ahem!" Sun Xun pointed at Xu Ke's head and said angrily. He had a pair of slender willow eyes, which were also round at this time, and his white face was so angry that he revealed a trace of red light......

"Since the emperor has not issued an edict to let your grandson make a pipa bone and wear a chain, I Xu Ke can naturally solve it" Xu Ke said while Kunwu sword unsheathed, only to see a flash ......of white light, the sword qi waved in the air, everyone only heard the sound of "Cangchang" twice, and the two slender iron chains that passed through Li Junxian's pipa bone had already landed.

"You...... Bold!" Sun Xun's face turned pale again, his right arm stretched out, and he suddenly slapped his palm, hitting Xu Ke's back.

Xu Ke seemed to have been on guard, and while swinging the sword with his right hand, he probed back with his left palm, and he slapped Sun Xun against him......

After this palm handover, Xu Ke took two steps back, he took advantage of the situation with his right hand to cross the sword, concentrating on guard, and the next move "breaking the gold potential" was ready to go.

But Sun Xun took half a step back, although he only took half a step back, but he suddenly felt a pain in his right back, and suddenly felt that his breath was not flowing smoothly, and then coughed several times in a row.

After the two of them slapped this palm, they were actually stunned in their hearts. Sun Xun's face showed a look of surprise, but then it also flashed. Xu Ke's heart was like a flash of lightning, and he suddenly remembered that this palm power, heavy and fierce, was so similar to the black-clothed man who attacked him at the mouth of the West Gorge!

"Oops

Xu Baihu is young after all, and he is a little reckless, don't be like him! Xu Baihu is really, this is just a prisoner, if you want to untie the chain, you have to ask Lord Sun for approval......" Yang Wenyuan saw that Sun Xun suddenly became difficult, and the field had already reached a stalemate, so he hurriedly stepped forward to play a round. As he spoke, he smiled slightly at the two of them, if he didn't be a peacemaker at this time, when would he stay?

Sun Xun ignored Yang Wenyuan's persuasion, and still pointed at Xu Ke and scolded: "Hmph! You are a supreme official, you are overstepping, and you are willful, and this company will take you to the top of the list! However, in today's Bei'an Pingsi Prison, it is not your turn to call the shots!" Sun Xun instructed the people next to Xu Ke again: "Are you all blind? The chain of the criminal is broken, hurry up and put on his pipa bone! If it is not enough, wear two more!"

Sun Qianhu had already said cruel words, in the entire Bei'an Ping Division, except for him Xu Ke, who would dare not obey! At this time, in addition to a few guards and Xiao Zuoling, even Ding Chunqiu, Wang Dalong, and Zhao Sanma all stepped forward, and everyone picked up the iron chains on the ground again, and each found another wall to fix it. The little leader who was guarding the door of the prison saw that the iron chain in his hand was broken and the length was not enough, so he went to find a few longer iron chains...... Originally, Li Junxian's eyes were closed, and he was in a coma, but at this time, he was tossed by these guards with chains, and the pipa bone in his chest was in sharp pain, and he was immediately woken up by the pain. This is good, Xu Ke did something bad with intention, and the iron chain was not removed, but it made Li Junxian suffer more......

"Wait a minute, stop with me!" Xu Ke shouted beside him. However, at this time, no one in the entire edict was obeying his orders. Although Xu Ke raised the sword in his hand, he felt in vain that he was so soft-spoken. Sun Xun couldn't help sneering on the side, his long body was like a mountain, pressing on Xu Ke's body......

"Stop!" Sun Xun suddenly shouted from behind him. The voice was full of grandeur, and it kept echoing in the cell of the Imperial Prison No. A, and after everyone heard it, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and turned around and bowed to the man: "See Nangong Qianhu!"

The person who came was Tsing Yiwei, who inspected the thousand households of Nangong and was silent. As soon as he entered the cell, he shouted at the crowd: "What are you doing!

"Nangong is silent!, it's not your turn to take care of the affairs of my Northern Anping Division, right?!" Sun Xun said sadly on the side.

Ding Chunqiu, Wang Dalong, Zhao Sanma and others, at this time, looked at the two thousand households and the two hundred households in front of them, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they had to stay motionless and pestle there like a stake......

"Oh! I forgot to tell Master Sun that on the order of Governor Shen, from now on, the Qin prisoner Li Junxian will be interrogated by me!" Nangong replied indifferently.

"Hmph! Why! The Imperial Prison has always been under the jurisdiction of my Bei'an Ping Division, I haven't heard of it, and the Qin prisoners in my Imperial Prison will let you come to trial with an inspector?!" Sun Xun snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Lord Sun, although you are under the special order of the emperor and can control the remaining four thousand households, but our Tsing Yi Weili is still under the supervision of Shen Du after all, right? As for what you said, 'why'...... You can go and ask the governor yourself. I only know that today I am here on the order of Governor Shen, who personally ordered me to preside over the trial of Li Junxian, who was to be convicted in prison. You, Lord Sun, don't you want to resist the disrespect?......" Nangong replied with a silent smile, his face still full of indifference.

"Nangong is silent, you don't want to be a villain! You are just relying on Lord Shen's support! I see you...... It's one of his Shen Huan's dogs!" Sun Xun pointed at Nangong and said angrily. Today he is in his own territory, the edict of the North Anping Division, and he originally wanted to save face no matter what. Previously, he had been choked by Xu Ke so angrily, but now he was repaid by Nangong silently, which made him lose face! This series of events made him angry, his face was white, red and blue, and his high-minded and secretive self-cultivation on weekdays had long been thrown out of the clouds, so that at this time, he had no choice but to speak......

As soon as Sun Xun said this, everyone on the field changed color. Everyone understands the rules in officialdom, no matter how bad you are scolding others behind your back, whether you are inferior to pigs and dogs, or whether you have a human face or a beast's heart, you have to smile in person, salute each other, and say a few words. No matter what, he Nangong is still a thousand households without saying anything, not to mention, your Sun Xun's words, even Shen Dudu scolded him.

"Master Sun, there's nothing else, please recuse yourself, I'm going to interrogate the prisoner with Xu Baihu......" Nangong was silent when he heard Sun Xun's insulting words, his face still did not change, and he said indifferently.

"You...... You!cough, cough, cough ......" Sun Xun was so angry that he coughed a few times in a row. He really had no other way at this time, so he had to stomp his feet, grit his teeth, and turn around and leave in a daze.

"What are you still doing in a daze?" Nangong said coldly.

At this time, seeing that the victory and defeat on the field had been decided, except for Yang Wenyuan who followed Sun Xun and turned to leave, and Ding Chunqiu did not move, those leaders and guards hurriedly stepped forward and thought of slowly taking out the two pieces of residual chains from Li Junxian's pipa bone......

Xu Ke also hurriedly stepped forward to salute Nangong silently and thanked him, but before he could say anything, he suddenly saw Nangong silently glaring at him, and said loudly first:

"Xu Baihu, Shen Dudu also has a warrant, ordering you to follow me to immediately try the important people of Tsing Yi Wei...... It's expensive!"

After Xu Ke heard this, he was at a loss.

Naturally, he couldn't see Sun Xun, who had walked out dozens of steps behind him, and after hearing this, his face suddenly changed...... Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
