Chapter 109, ridiculous Wenyuan
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, March 30, the time of the year, Tsing Yi Wei]
After Xu Ke left, Nangong didn't have time to think about it, so he called Gu Caixiang, the chief of the Bei'an Ping Division, and ordered Gu Caixiang to immediately take people to the Nan'an Ping Division, and transfer all the people involved in the Han Wang case to the Imperial Prison.
When Gu Caixiang heard that Shen Dudu had asked them to take over the Cuiyun Lou at this time, he was suspicious. He said, could this be that Shen Dudu deliberately set up a trick to deal with the Thousand Households?
Nangong was silent but smiled indifferently, and said There is no need to worry too much, there is only one day for horizontal and vertical, let Gu Baihu just do what the governor orders, and after one day, all these criminals will be Ling Chi's Ling Chi, beheading, and self-hanging, in the middle, what else can be done? !
However, Nangong was silent but still solemnly explained two things to Gu Caixiang.
First, the ancient hundred households should strictly restrain their guards, and those female prisoners must be well guarded, without the slightest violation, if there is a guard who misbehaves on his own, he will immediately pull out the cane and kill him, so as to set an example!
Second, let Gu Baihu put one of the female prisoners named "Mingyue" into a separate cell, in addition to cleaning the cell, changing the bedding and sheets, and adding the necessary furnishings, the corresponding diet should also be arranged properly.
Gu Caixiang understood the first request of Lord Nangong, but he couldn't help but be surprised by the second request, but he didn't dare to ask more, and at that moment, after he received the order, he left Nangong's signing room.
After going out, Gu Caixiang still secretly wondered in her heart: Could it be that Lord Qianhu and Mingyue also have an old relationship? I heard that this Mingyue girl was the top brand in Cuiyun Building in the past, and I don't know how many high-ranking officials, talents, and celebrities who bowed down under her pomegranate skirt back then! Could it be that there is also a share of Lord Nangong?
"Yes!" Gu Caixiang then suddenly realized: "Our Lord Qianhu is not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also born so personable, since ancient times, talented people should be matched with beautiful women. Thinking of the bright moon, the abundance is stunning, not only the crown of the daughters of Cuiyun Tower, but also known as the leader in the entire Fengyue field of Chang'an City......!
After "guessing" the reason for this, Gu Caixiang also had an idea in his heart. When he returned to his 100-household office, he ordered the guards to summon one of his lieutenants and two flags. He ordered the lieutenant to rush to the prison immediately, and within a moment, immediately clean up a clean cell, which should not only be fresh and tidy, but also fully furnished, and all the things related to daily use should be new, in short, the cell should be set up like an inn......
If it was changed to another school captain, when he heard the order of Lord Baihu, he couldn't help frowning secretly, and he would complain again and again in his heart, but this school captain agreed and was not embarrassed at all. This lieutenant is none other than Ding Chunqiu, the flag leader who arranged Li Junxian's cell in the past. Today's Ding Chunqiu has been promoted from the flag to a captain under Gu Caixiang. At that time, he thought to himself, isn't there a cell that the hundred households have asked for? It turned out that the cell where Li Junxian was held in the past was too comfortable inside, and he had not been willing to give it to others for more than two months.
After Ding Chunqiu left, Gu Caixiang and his two banners, with more than 100 guards, went straight to Nan'an Pingsi.
......
......
Almost at the same time, in Shen Huan's governor's office, Shen Huan leaned on the Taishi's chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting for a while, and as if he was thinking about something. Yang Wenyuan, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but ask again after taking a few sips of tea:
"Lord Shen, I still don't understand, why do these criminals have to be transferred to their Beisi?"
"There are so many things you can't understand!" Shen Huan opened his eyes and said disdainfully:
"Think about it yourself, why did the emperor scold you so hard this time, but punish you so lightly?"
Yang Wenyuan lowered his head and said:
"Didn't the emperor punish him for a year of humiliation?"
"Just your seven hundred and twenty taels of annual salary, I'm afraid, the five hundred households under your command will honor you more than this amount of silver every month, right?"
"The governor laughed, Wen Yuan first arrived in Nansi, daily chores, it was too late to rely on them, how could he ......" Yang Wenyuan's face was even more embarrassed at this time, and he hurriedly explained.
"Okay!" Shen Huan waved his hand, interrupted Yang Wenyuan's words, and said impatiently: "Your rotten ass...... The Governor has no interest in the slightest! The Governor might as well tell you the truth, if the Emperor didn't want to make things bigger today, I'm afraid this black gauze hat on your head would have been taken off a long time ago!"
"Governor Shen, what do you mean by this?" Yang Wenyuan said in trepidation.
Shen Huan glanced at Yang Wenyuan and said coldly:
"Ben Du has been with the emperor for more than 20 years, how can he not know the temper of the emperor? The emperor despises most in his heart those who indulge in immorality. Back then, I remember that the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan Province went to Beijing to report on his work, just because he stayed in Cuiyun Tower for a night, and the emperor demoted him to a commoner on the second day, and let him ask for help in every way, but the emperor still did not spare him. Now you have indulged your subordinates, and in a fit of rage, you have raped more than 100 girls in the South Prison. Think about it, what is your sin like to that Lingnan festival envoy?"
Yang Wenyuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and then explained to himself: "My lord, although the subordinates are out of control, even if they misbehave, they will not rape more than a hundred girls......? It's only about a dozen, right?"
Shen Huan snorted coldly and said, "A hundred, ten or not!" Since the matter has happened, the principle is the same, in the eyes of the emperor, there is not much difference between them! Don't think that today the emperor just issued an edict to punish you for a year, and this matter is over!"
Yang Wenyuan was terrified again, and said suspiciously:
"My lord, is it ...... The emperor still has to settle accounts with the lowly post 'after the autumn'?"
Shen Huan sneered: "Yang Wenyuan, you wait and see, when King Han's case is over, it will be the day you take office and lose your position!"
"Your Excellency, this ...... How can this be seen?!" Yang Wenyuan immediately asked in surprise.
Shen Huan pondered for a while, then suddenly changed his tone and asked:
"Do you know what the emperor's expression was on his face when he gave an order to those Qinglou girls to hang themselves with white silk?"
Yang Wenyuan raised his head and looked at Shen Huan, his eyes full of questions.
Shen Huandao: "At that time, the emperor's eyes were full of compassion and unbearability!"
Yang Wenyuan said strangely: "Full of compassion and forbearance? What does this mean......?"
Shen Huan said with emotion: "This shows that the emperor knows very well in his heart that these girls are actually innocent! The reason why the emperor wants to give them all to death is just to keep his mouth shut! It's just that you can't think of it?......
Shen Huan glanced at Yang Wenyuan again and said, "Although the emperor made this will, at that time, he was already blaming himself! The emperor finally solemnly told me to let those girls leave innocent and clean......
Seeing Yang Wenyuan standing there, still bowing his head and saying nothing, Shen Huan's face turned pale, and he finally began to reprimand: "But you are good, you have only locked up these girls for two days, and you have made them 'unclear, innocent, and unclean'! Since you know that the emperor feels guilty about those girls, but you still want to abuse them indiscriminately and humiliate them, you are trapping the emperor for injustice! You know that the emperor wants to keep their chastity before death, but you still want to rape and destroy them one by one, you are trapping the emperor for injustice! You have disobeyed the holy will so much and openly fallen into the emperor's unkind and unrighteous situation, do you think ...... Can the emperor spare you?"
After all, Yang Wenyuan is a shrewd person, after gradually comprehending the emperor's intentions, he was already in an extremely panicked mood, at this time, after Shen Huan's verbal intimidation, he was immediately frightened and his knees weakened, he fell to the ground, and begged Shen Huan to be willing to say:
"My lord, what can I do about this?! How did I know that the emperor would care so much about these girls! I thought that they were all dying people, and it would be good to make my subordinates happy...... I really didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns here...... How's that okay?"
Shen Huan crossed the table, leaned down and asked, "Yang Wenyuan, tell me honestly, do you have a share of the rape of those girls in Cuiyun Building?"
Yang Wenyuan nodded weakly and said in a low voice:
"Humble ...... Seeing that the two golden ribbon Oiran were born well, he didn't hold back for a while......"
"Hmph!" Shen Huan shook his head, and said in his heart, with such a good character as you, you are still worthy of being called "Yang Zifang"? I think, you are not worthy of carrying shoes for Zhang Zifang!
Shen Huan's face softened, he waved his hand at Yang Wenyuan, and said gently, "You get up first!"
Yang Wenyuan stood up, helped him to sit down on a chair, and felt that he was paralyzed.
At this time, Shen Huan changed his expression of concern, and slowly comforted Yang Wenyuan:
"Don't worry! There is Ben Du in the Tsing Yi guard to support you, and no one can take the black gauze hat on your head!"
Yang Wenyuan raised his head and looked at Shen Huan pitifully, his face still shocked and suspicious.
Shen Huan said: "In this case of King Han, the emperor's biggest headache is not that King Han prostituted prostitutes late at night, but that Cuiyun Tower, in fact, it was opened by King Han himself! In order to hide this secret, the emperor is bound to suppress the case and try not to make it bigger." Those ugly things you have done, as long as no one mentions them in the future, the emperor will naturally hold it down. It's ...... What you want to thank the most is the dead King Han!"
Taste it carefully, and it is difficult to find out that Shen Huan's implication is that if I, Shen Huan, reiterate this matter to the emperor, I am afraid that the ending of your Yang Wenyuan will be unpredictable!
Yang Wenyuan said ashamedly: "Thank you Lord Shen for reminding me! Your grace to the reinvention of your humble position, after the humble post, even if you are broken, it will be difficult to repay your lord!"
Seeing that Yang Wenyuan was about to get up and salute himself again, Shen Huan waved his hand and asked him to sit down.
Shen Huan continued: "Wen Yuan, now you should understand, why did I transfer all those female prisoners to the Imperial Prison?"
Yang Wenyuan thought for a moment in his heart, and then said:
"My lord, I understand the humble duty!"
"Tell me about it!"
"My lord, at this time, if all those female prisoners are transferred to the Imperial Prison and taken care of by his Beisi, if it comes to the day of execution, the prisoners sent by the emperor will not be able to say clearly even if they see that the female prisoners have impure bodies, and if the emperor wants to blame, he can blame him for everything!"
Shen Huan nodded, and then asked, "What else?"
"Second, in the edict of his Bei'an Pingsi, when Sun Xun was in power, it was not uncommon for guards to rape female criminals, and Sun Xun never forbade it. Although Nangong is now in charge of the Beisi, after all, the time is still short, how can the accumulated evils of the past few decades be eliminated in one day? What's more, those girls in Cuiyunlou today all look like flowers and jade, and in the edict prison, can there be cats who don't eat fishy? It is determined by humble expectations, tonight, there will be guards who can't stand the loneliness and go to steal fishy ......."
As soon as he talked about other people's affairs, Yang Wenyuan immediately regained his agility and ingenuity, and he talked endlessly for a while, and finally said:
"My lord, it's better to set up a whistle in secret from the lowly position, once you find out that those subordinates of Nangong have any misconduct, the lowly position will also be the secretary of the imperial court, and go to impeach Nangong ......"
Shen Huan waved his hand and said, "Forget it! This matter should be handed over to that 'patrol'!"
Speaking of Xu Ke, who inspected thousands of households, Yang Wenyuan's teeth immediately itched with hatred, and he secretly swore in his heart: Xu Ke, Xu Ke, I, Yang Wenyuan, have no enmity with you in the past, and have no grievances in the near future, but you have framed me in every possible way! One day, I will let you die a good death!
Yang Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Okay! If the lowly post finds out that the Beisi guards have illegal activities, he will immediately send someone to inform Xu Ke!"
Shen Huan said again:
"There's one more thing you haven't thought of yet!"
"And?"
Shen Huan smiled bitterly and said:
"Those more than 100 girls, but more than 100 living lives, when the time comes, Bai Aya will take them all to the underworld, if any girl does not obey, she will have to bother the guards to go up and strangle her...... This kind of thing that is detrimental to yin morality, let's leave it to Nangong to do!"
"My lord is kind and benevolent, and I feel inexplicable for my inferiority!" This time, Yang Wenyuan finally had the strength, he immediately got up and bowed to Shen Huan, with a look of admiration on his face.
However, Yang Wenyuan was thinking in his heart, who doesn't know that you, Shen Huan, are famous for being black-hearted? Over the years, there are still few souls who have died under your hands? Today, for the sake of more than 100 cheap lives, you are still pretending to be merciful there? Who are you pretending to be!
However, Yang Wenyuan seemed to blame Shen Huan again, seeing Shen Huan at this time, his face was still unbearable, he looked out the window, shook his head, and sighed:
"More than 100 girls at once, cough!
