Chapter 113, the bright moon is lamentable
Gu Caixiang, the chief of the Qingyi Weibei Anping Division, was ordered to go to the Nanan Pingsi to take over the relevant criminals in the Han Wang case, and when he came to the South Prison, he saw the female prisoners imprisoned inside, all of them unkempt and unclothed, and he couldn't help frowning.
So, he and the chief of the Nan'an Ping Division went through the delivery procedures. However, when Gu Caixiang saw that most of those female prisoners had obvious traces of rape, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and immediately ordered his subordinates to count how many female prisoners had been raped one by one.
After being counted by the guards of the North Division, there were a total of seventy-three girls, and there were obvious traces of assault on their bodies, not including those who were timid and afraid to confess on the spot. Gu Caixiang immediately ordered someone to write a case reference, which stated that among all the female prisoners in Cuiyunlou, at least seventy-three women had been raped by Nan Sizhong. Then, Gu Caixiang asked Feng Buyi to sign and approve the pledge.
As a result, the two chief hundred-in-one households quarreled in the corridor of this southern prison. Feng Buyi had no choice but to order someone to quickly rush to Shen Dudu's office to invite the thousands of households back quickly.
Not long after, Yang Wenyuan rushed to the aisle of the South Prison in a hurry. He saw that the ancient material was self-satisfied and unforgiving, and he was so straight that he was almost speechless. He shook his head, very unhappy in his heart, but still with a smile on his face:
"Xiao Gu, you have worked hard! Come, come and sit in the company's office first!"
After the three of them came to Yang Wenyuan's office and sat down, Gu Caixiang still said angrily:
"Lord Yang, I was ordered to transfer the prisoners, but if you don't sign this document, these female prisoners will not dare to accept the prisoners!"
Yang Wenyuan took the ginseng in Gu Xiangxiang's hand, and couldn't help frowning, he put the ginseng down, and still asked with a smile:
"Gu Baihu, transfer all the prisoners of Cuiyun Building to your Beisi to take over, this is an edict from Governor Shen. Now, since you've brought someone here, you just need to hand it over, why do you want us to sign a paperwork?"
Gu Caixiang arched his hand to Yang Wenyuan, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Lord Yang, Shen Dudu's order, the lowly duty should be obeyed! However, the one who Shen Dudu let the lowly post take over should be a complete human prisoner, not like them......"
Yang Wenyuan said: "Where are these people missing arms and legs?
Gu Caixiang said: "Lord Yang, please forgive me for being outspoken! What have these female prisoners been raped into now? All of them are not like human ghosts or ghosts! If these people are brought back to the Imperial Prison by their humble duties, once the Lord of the Thousand Households of my family asks, they will not be able to bear the guilt of their humble duties!"
Yang Wenyuan's face sank, and he said: "Are you afraid that Nangong Qianhu will blame, aren't you afraid that Shen Dudu will ask you for your guilt? If this department reports to the Du Governor, saying that you have violated the order, made things difficult for yourself, and refused to take over the criminals, when the time comes, if Shen Dudu is angry, Xiao Gu, I am afraid you will be even more guilty!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Caixiang arched his hand to Yang Wenyuan, and then said: "Then ask Lord Yang to report to Shen Dudu! If you don't sign these female prisoners today, you won't dare to bring them back to the Imperial Prison no matter what!"
As he spoke, Gu Caixiang turned around and was about to go out. Yang Wenyuan hurriedly stood up, changed his good face, personally pulled Gu Caixiang back into the room, and glanced at the seal behind him.
"Gu Baihu, don't be in a hurry to leave yet!
After a while, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and stuffed it into Gu Caixiang's hand.
Gu Caixiang peeked at it, and saw the words "one thousand taels" written on the silver ticket, and he was also stunned.
Gu Xiangxiang immediately hid the silver ticket in his cuff without thinking.
Yang Wenyuan saw that Gu Caixiang had accepted the silver ticket, and his heart was a little relieved, so he smiled:
"Xiao Gu, although we are two divisions in the north and south, in this Tsing Yi Wei, after all, we are all our own brothers. These female prisoners only have one day to live, and they will all have to go on the road at noon tomorrow! Although the appearance of these people is a little untidy, is it not in the way? Now, Shen Dudu has ordered you Beisi to take over the prisoners, which is a great trust in you! I think you have worked hard, hurry up and do the things that the Governor has explained......
Gu Caixiang hurriedly bowed to Yang Wenyuan, and said with a smile: "What Lord Yang said is extremely true! Since it is what Shen Dudu ordered, let's do our best, and we should do our best to obey it!
Gu Caixiang was just about to turn around and go out, but Yang Wenyuan stopped him again:
"Wait!"
"What else does Lord Yang command?"
"You can take this ginseng back with you!"
"Okay! Lord Yang, retire from your position!"
......
After sending off Gu Caixiang and his party, Yang Wenyuan sat on the Taishi chair in his official room, and the feeling in his heart was very tired!
He couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed when he thought about what he had been going through in the past few days, and sometimes he wanted to open his right palm and slap himself violently.
There are too many things that make Yang Wenyuan frustrated, annoyed, irritable, angry, ashamed, and regretful!
As a thousand households in Nan'an Pingsi, he should have ranked second among the five thousand households in Tsing Yi Wei, and his rank was only after Nangong Bushu.
But just yesterday, Zhang Muye, a thousand households in the Qingjing Division, and Xu Ke, who inspected a thousand households, entered and exited his Nansi at will to investigate the case, openly provoking his majesty. He had the heart to stop it, but in front of Zhang Muye, what he said was so weak!
He himself didn't know why, as soon as he saw Zhang Muye's face, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, so that he had no confidence in speaking.
If a person can't make the other person afraid of you, you can only be afraid of him.
Imagine that the Nan'an Ping Division Qianhu Pei Caibao back then, he led the Nansi for many years, and he never did the same. His momentum not only overshadowed Nangong Buyu, Zhu Leyun, and Zhang Muye at that time, but even Sun Xun at that time had to smile and arch his hand when he saw him, what a majesty and spirit he was!
But now, it is Yang Wenyuan's turn to sit on the thousand households of Nan'an Pingsi, how can he, a thousand households, be such a wretch!
All the thousands of households in Tsing Yi Wei didn't take him seriously, and even the last one to inspect the thousand households actually stepped on his head!
Not only did thousands of households look down on him Yang Wenyuan, but today's ancient material incense is just a hundred households, and they dare to speak so unscrupulously in front of him! If it weren't for the "magnanimous" action of Feng Bu, who took out a huge amount of silver tickets at once, God knows if these female prisoners would have taken away his ancient material incense?
If Gu Caixiang brushed his sleeves away, and still threw this mess to him Yang Wenyuan, how could he deal with the aftermath? If he really reported this matter to Shen Huan again, he would be able to think of it without guessing, and he would inevitably be scolded by Shen Huan again!
Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan scolded thousands of times in his heart, "Shen Huan old thief! Shen Huan, you old fox ......!"
Why did Yang Wenyuan curse Shen Huan so much in his heart? Just because after he returned to his official room, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the truth.
First, why didn't you explain to me the reasons you Shen Huan said from the beginning? What did you say, "The emperor blames himself for those girls, and it is actually out of helplessness to give them all to death!" And what do you say, "The emperor solemnly tells you to let those girls leave innocently and cleanly!" If you had made it clear to me earlier, even if I, Yang Wenyuan, personally squatted in front of the prison door, I would not have indulged those guards and ordered them to rape female criminals indiscriminately!
Second, you Shen Huan is different from me to explain the emperor's thoughts, I begged you yesterday to stop Xu Ke and them from investigating the case, but you not only ignored it, but also let me not have to stop it! This is good, that Xu Ke not only found out those illegal things of the Nansi guards, but also impeached me to the Son of Heaven! But you obviously know that the rules in my Nan Prison, the guards rape female criminals, that is a common thing, you are so indulgent Xu Ke inspection, obviously you deliberately want to see me make a fool!
Third, I, Yang Wenyuan, can be regarded as dedicated and loyal to you, Shen Huan! But you still refuse to believe me, and you have to think of a way to pinch my handle, so that you can rest assured! Today, I was threatened by your words, and I unknowingly confided in the truth that I raped a few gold-belted oirans. I know that if you tell the emperor about this in his year, the emperor will not spare me! From now on, you will hold this secret of mine in your hands, and I should be at your mercy. But you don't want to think about it, I, Yang Wenyuan, only want to be a dog of your Shen Huan in this life, and listen to your Lord Shen all my life, why do you have to work hard to hold my handle?......
However, no matter how Yang Wenyuan cursed Shen Huan, he only dared to scold quietly in his heart, and even if he secretly scolded Shen Huan in his heart, he couldn't help but look left and right.
In his heart, Shen Huan is really terrifying!
......
......
Gu Caixiang put all the female prisoners in Cuiyun Building, together with more than 50 other miscellaneous servants, into the edict prison, (the remaining 40 or so prostitutes were already on their way to serve in the frontier at this time) After making proper arrangements, he came to Nangong's office and returned to the Lord Qianhu.
Gu Caixiang didn't dare to hide it, and most of the female prisoners in Cuiyunlou had been forcibly abused by Nansi's guards, and they also truthfully reported to Nangong.
When Nangong heard that there were seventy-three girls who had been raped by the guards, she was immediately annoyed and said:
"These brutes have lost their conscience to do such a thing!"
After speaking, Nangong looked at Gu Caixiang without saying a word, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Gu Caixiang hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Lord Qianhu, I will personally squat tonight, and I must not let a female prisoner be violated!"
Nangong nodded silently, and asked again:
"Tomorrow at noon, the emperor should send a prince to the execution ground to supervise the execution. When the time comes, if this prince sees the female prisoners like this, once he asks, it will be difficult for me to wait! Old Gu, didn't you write a case reference at that time, explain the reasons for the abuse of these female prisoners, and then let them sign for custody before picking them up?"
Gu Cai Xiang was suddenly ashamed and said:
"The lowly duty was negligent! The lowly duty was busy handling the settlement at that time. The lowly thought that these female prisoners only had one day to live, so they didn't think much about it at that time, so they took them back by themselves. If you don't do your job effectively, please punish the Lord of a Thousand Households!"
Nangong glanced at Gu Caixiang meaningfully, waved his hand and said:
"Forget it! Even if there is no case involved, if the prince really asks, there will be the confessions of the girls to prove it! You only need to carefully restrain the guards in the edict tonight, and it will not be our turn to do this matter!"
Gu Caixiang said with relief: "Lord Qianhu is extremely right!
Nangong was silent and asked, "How did you arrange those female prisoners?"
Ancient material incense said:
"I have ordered my subordinates to deliberately select more than 40 cells from the C-shaped cell, all of which are clean and bright, and only two or three female prisoners are held in each cell, which is extremely comfortable to live in the Imperial Prison!"
Nangong thought about it silently, and then ordered:
"Then you shall immediately order someone to go to the East Market to buy a batch of decent clothes, and change them for the female prisoners, if any...... If there is blood on the lower body, clean them up too! Be sure to clean them up and clean up early tomorrow morning!"
"Humble obedience!" Gu Caixiang immediately bowed his hand, and his heart was even more inexplicable for the compassionate heart and magnanimous elegance of this thousand households.
Nangong was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't go out of the guard with the silver taels for clothes, you will pad the mat today, and when I get the silver ticket from home tomorrow, I will return it to you!"
Gu Caixiang waved his hand at that time and said:
"This can't be done! The annual silver of the Thousand Households is only eight hundred taels of silver, and there are at least more than 100 of these female prisoners, how can they be able to break the cost of buying clothes for them?
As he spoke, he patted his chest, just because in his chest, there was a silver ticket of "one thousand taels" hidden at this moment.
"Okay!
Gu Caixiang was about to turn around and leave, but Nangong stopped him again and asked:
"By the way, that girl called 'Mingyue', how did you arrange it?"
"Go back to a thousand households!" Gu Caixiang said busily:
"The humble position has put that bright moon girl in cell A!"
"You put her in prison? Is this a bit of a fuss? Are you worried that someone will rob the prison tonight?" Nangong Qi said.
"Lord Qianhu, it's not that I'm worried about someone robbing the prison, it's just that there is a cell No. 11 in the prison. That cell, more than a month ago, was the ...... where the Qin prisoner Li Junxian was imprisoned," Gu Caixiang said with a smile.
"Oh...... It's that cell!" Nangong immediately understood: "Okay, very good! Old Gu, you did a good job in this matter! Later, you can also pick out a good dress for Miss Mingyue, and buy more wine and food for her!"
Speaking of this, Nangong looked out of the house and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Tonight is the last night of the bright moon, the bright moon in the sky is shining brightly, but the 'bright moon' on the ground will die from now on, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Gu Caixiang looked at Nangong silently with a gloomy look, and there was no doubt in her heart that her own Qianhu must have had an old relationship with Mingyue back then. At this time, it was inconvenient for him to stay longer, so he arched his hand to Nangong Qianhu and turned around and went out.
