Tan Sizhi was once a general under Su Dingfang, and after Su Dingfang returned to his hometown, he also disarmed and returned to the field.

Most of them, the generals of the Northern Expedition, handed over their military power for self-preservation, after all, they offended the current emperor, dangling in front of the emperor all day long, maybe one day the emperor is not happy, and he will take his own knife.

It's better to stay away from the emperor, out of sight and out of mind, maybe wait for a while, and the emperor will forget about this group of people.

But they never expected that they still did not escape this catastrophe.

At the same time that Su Dingfang was slaughtered, their old subordinates were also arrested and imprisoned in Chen Guan Prison.

Qu Wenchou didn't kill them, it didn't mean that he had mercy.

Just because these people are dead, how can they frame the others?

What they need is a ten, a hundred, a hundred, a thousand, the larger the scale, the higher the merit, and the greater the reward.

Looking at Tan Sizhi, who was no longer human, Qu Wenchou let people extinguish the fire urn, next to the fire urn was red coals, there was no water in the fire urn, and there were bursts of heat in the fire urn, with a pungent smell of ground meat.

Qu Wenchou asked the jailer to feed Tan Sizhi water for a night.

"As long as you draw a charge on this confession, you can be free," Qu said.

Tan Sizhi waved his festering hand at Qu Wenchou.

Qu Wenchou smiled: "You old and rough minds are not clear to the official, and you want to pull the official to bury you?" Qu Wenchou sighed and said: "The official has lost patience with you." ”

"Someone Coming"

"Put Tan Siwen into the hob cage. ”

The hob cage is a kind of torture instrument made by Qu Wenchou, shaped like a large wine barrel, but it is embedded with countless finger-long sharp blades with barbs, as long as the person is put in, and then put down, rolling around, the sharp blade in the barrel will bring down the flesh and skin of the person like a knife.

But man cannot die for a while, but can only suffer alive in it.

Often when the jailer opens the lid of the bucket, the people inside are still panting, but there is no complete skin on the whole body, and the shape is like a demon crawling out of hell, and the flesh and blood in the bucket are shaking, which makes people sick.

In order to invite merit to the imperial court, Qu Wenchou invited Zhang Ben, the first minister, to visit his masterpiece, but when Zhang Ben saw the hob cage, he was drenched in cold sweat at that time, and immediately excused himself and said that he remembered the urgent matter in the court, so he left in a hurry.

The two jailers were about to throw Tan Sizi into the hob cage.

Boom

A black wheel flew in, and two figures appeared at the entrance to the prison.

"Who is it? dare to break into the imperial prison and rebel?"

The visitor strode into the prison and saw what looked like hell in front of her, and the woman could not help but scream.

"Brother Yang?" Tan Sizhi saw the man weakly stretch out his hand and shouted.

Yang Zongheng hurriedly reached out to grab Tan Sizhi's hand, but at this moment, Tan Sizhi's hand suddenly sank.

Tan Sizhi died.

Guilt flooded over me.

"Did you kill Marshal Su's family?" Yang Zongheng said fiercely.

Qu Wenchou had long heard of Yang Zongheng's name, and knew that he had a good relationship with many important ministers of the dynasty and even with the emperor, so he didn't dare to offend, so he said: "Killing Su Dingfang is not the official, but the emperor's holy decree, the law and discipline of the court, and the official is just doing his duty for the court and the emperor." ”

Shameless, I've never seen such a brazen person.

Yang Zongheng glanced at the prisoners in Chenguan Prison, and many of them knew him, and he had seen many of them, almost all of them were veterans of the Northern Expedition.

"You wait, I'll go and ask the emperor for mercy. ”

After that, Yang Zongheng pointed at Qu Wenchou and said, "If you dare to touch them again, I will peel off your skin." ”

Qu Wen said with a smile on his face: "The lower officials just listen to the orders of the adults." ”

Hai Lan'er looked at the dozen handsome young men and couldn't laugh a little, she really didn't know what the ministers below were thinking all day.

And those guys were still a little worried at the beginning, what if the emperor was extremely ugly, but for the sake of power, not to mention ugly women, even a sow didn't care.

What's more, when they saw Hailan'er's beauty, their hearts were simply happy.

One by one, their eyes were inflexible, as if to say, "Choose me, choose me." ”

Maybe it's not bad to keep these men, but there are always hidden dangers in keeping men in the harem.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran in and said, "Tell the emperor, Yang Shaoxia has broken in." ”

Hai Lan'er was slightly stunned, sat up hurriedly, and saw those faces looking at him expectantly, and couldn't help frowning: "Why don't you get out of here?"

The men were immediately disappointed, and walked out of the temple at the urging of the eunuchs.

And they are meeting Yang Zongheng who broke in.

Yang Zongheng watched a large group of men walk out of the hall gate, and frowned.

What's the situation?

I see.

Men and women are the same.

Hai Lan'er frowned when she saw Yang Zongheng and said, "Yang Zongheng, trespassing in the harem is going to be punished by the Nine Clans." ”

"The emperor once promised the grass people that he would not be embarrassed by the former generals of the Northern Expedition, but he didn't expect that after only a year, the emperor broke his promise. ”

"They deliberately rebelled, shouldn't they be killed?"

"If they want to rebel, they will rebel when they are in Jiangbei, and they still have to wait until now?"

"Presumptuous, Yang Zongheng, is this the tone in which you speak to me?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't release the prisoners in Chen Guan's prison today, I will demolish your palace. ”

"Yang Zongheng, how many heads do you have. ”

"I'm just one, Your Majesty, you know, the person I'm going to kill, no one can stop it in the kingdom of God. ”

"Are you going to kill me? Come, come. ”

At this time, I saw someone say: "I ask to see you in the imperial history." ”

"Xuan. ”

Qu Wenchou walked in, saw Yang Zongheng, and the emperor with an angry face kneeling down, and presented a recital.

"The minister wants to participate in the nuclear of the former Guogong, and the general of the Northern Expedition, Yang Zongheng, has no national law, trespasses into the prison, and calls the thief a brother and brother, and the rebellious heart is clearly revealed. ”

Hai Lan'er glanced at the concerto, glanced at Yang Zongheng with a sneer, threw the concerto to Yang Zongheng and said, "You heard it." ”

Yang Zongheng watched Hai Lan'er trample the chapter under his feet, and said: "I just said that as long as the emperor releases the former Northern Expedition generals, as for me, I will kill or chop, whatever." ”

"Are you really in collusion with them?"

"Anyway, the emperor, you are also biased in listening and believing, how do you like to think and think, I am already sorry for Marshal Su, and I can no longer watch other people die in Huangquan. ”

Since Hai Lan'er became the eldest princess, no one has spoken to her in such a disdainful or even threatening tone, and at this time, Yang Zongheng's words have completely aroused Hai Lan'er's competitive spirit, and even some regrets, why did she want to get him back.

Isn't it all clean when you don't see each other?

Yang Zongheng saw Hai Lan'er's face turned blue, so he didn't bother to say more, and turned to leave.

That night, Yang Zongheng transported all the prisoners in Chen Guan Prison out and sent them to the mansion that Yu Huanhuan had bought.

And he asked a doctor to heal the wounds of those generals.

After tossing for most of the night, Yang Zongheng and Liu Xiaoxiao had time to sit down and rest for a while.

Looking at the familiar courtyard, Yang Zongheng was a little emotional, I don't know where Yu Huanhuan is now and how he is doing.

Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to see Yang Zongheng's thoughts, so she said, "Otherwise, if we are busy with this time, let's go find the fish girl." ”

Yang Zongheng nodded.

Lindu Imperial Palace Chengzheng Palace.

Qu Wenchou was tearfully accusing Yang Zongheng of lawlessness, not taking the emperor's majesty in his eyes at all, and he should be cut with a thousand cuts.

Hai Lan'er stayed awake all night last night, upset, not because Yang Zongheng robbed Chen Guan Prison, but because he saw so many men, maybe he thought he was that kind of woman.

At this time, listening to Qu Wen's ugly babbling, he said casually: "What do other people think?"

Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other.

After the song was played before, the emperor directly reviewed it and never asked the opinions of other ministers.

What's going on today?

Hai Lan'er saw that all the ministers had blank expressions on their faces, and said a little strangely: "Nothing?"

At this time, Zhang Ben suddenly stepped forward and said, "The minister has this music." ”

"In the imperial history, Cheng Qu Wenchou abused his power, deceived the holy hearing, fabricated charges, fabricated criminal evidence, framed Zhongliang, and the number of people was as high as 10,000, causing the anger of the heavens and the resentment, and in the long run, the court will be bound to deviate from morality, and there will be no civil servants who govern the country, and there will be no military generals who defend the enemy, and eventually endanger the safety of Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will be aware of it. ”

Zhang Ben knew that Hai Lan'er didn't care about how many people died, all he cared about was his own throne, so what he said earlier was just preparing a knife to kill, and in the end it was the key to cutting the knife down.

Hai Lan'er glanced at the evidence presented, and picked up a book with special concern and flipped through it, which contained the entire tutorial and experience of teaching her subordinates how to fabricate charges against others. made Hai Lan'er's heart tight.

"This person's scheming is deep and his methods are vicious, which is really unparalleled in the world. ”

Hai Lan'er threw the scripture in front of Hai Wenchou and said, "Qu Wenchou, according to the criminal law, the criminal law should be used to deceive the king?"

Qu Wenchou's whole body trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the emperor, and there is really no crime of bullying the king." ”

"Yu Shi Zhongcheng, in the past few years, I have done my best for the country and me, there is no merit and hard work, so I will be dismissed and go back to my hometown. ”

Qu Wenchou hurriedly thanked the emperor and slowly retreated from the court.

Zhang Ben didn't say anything more, because he knew that even if the emperor didn't kill him, Qu Wenchou would be dead.

In the past few years, there have been too many people who want Qu Wen's ugly life.

Next, Hai Lan'er ordered that all those wronged officials be released, and some officials were reinstated, but some were already frightened and did not want to enter the officialdom again, so the state issued a fee to let them go home to recuperate.

And the families of those who were taken in were also released.

Under the care of Yang Zongheng and Liu Xiaoxiao, those Northern Expedition generals slowly recovered, and were soon sent back to their hometowns by the vehicles arranged by Zhang Ben to recuperate.

After this incident, Yang Zongheng became more and more disgusted with this court, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, but Zhang Ben's next words made Yang Zongheng stunned.

It turned out that large-scale wars were constantly coming from the Western Regions, and the Moro Kingdom, the Jade Brake Country, and the Black Spring Country, which were originally closed out, sent troops to the Western Regions one after another to occupy the land, and those Western Regions countries were originally small countries, where could they resist the attacks of those countries.

Either it was breached or surrendered, and now half of the Western Regions fell into the hands of three.

At this rate, within a year, they will be able to reach the territory of God's kingdom.

That's why I'm in such a hurry to get Yang Zongheng back, and discuss together to resist external humiliation.

The Moro Kingdom, the Jade Temple Country, and the Black Spring Country are all old acquaintances.
