Chapter Twenty-Three: The Scourge of Prison
Early the next morning, the sergeant came to deliver food to Luo Lianchi, only to find that it was not Luo Lianchi but Duan Hongyu sitting on the ground, which frightened them and the food fell to the ground. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Duan Hongyu said with a straight face: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be afraid, go and inform Xia Qianxun and Lin Fengting!"
The sergeant did not dare to delay, and went to announce.
After a while, Xia Qianxun and Lin Fengting arrived. Letting go of the court is a serious crime that will destroy the nine clans, and Xia Qianxun and Lin Fengting were so frightened that their faces turned white.
Duan Hongyu said calmly: "Two adults, Luo Lianchi has been let go below, you don't have to be embarrassed, just take me to see the emperor." I will explain what happened to the emperor in person, and no matter what the emperor does with me, he will not complain below. ”
Xia Qianxun said angrily: "You are really bold, and the emperor is also what you say you will see?
The brigade accelerated its march and arrived at the Beijing Division in the afternoon. Duan Hongyu was strictly escorted all the way and thrown into the prison of the Criminal Department. The jailers replaced him with shackles and heavy handcuffs and leg irons. The cell where he was held was surrounded by walls on three sides, with iron bars outside, a dark light shining through the corridors, whipping and screams of prisoners from time to time, and the air filled with the smell of blood.
Duan Hongyu didn't panic at all, and said secretly: "Anyway, I have a bad life, and I don't have to worry about it, as long as I don't affect others." ”
Footsteps sounded in the hallway, and a large group of jailers opened the door with chains and sticks, and broke in like wolves. They couldn't help but say, picked up Duan Hongyu with a wooden stick and walked out.
Duan Hongyu was placed in a large dark room, surrounded by wolf-like jailers, among whom sat an official wearing a black gauze hat. This person is in his fifties, with a black face, and his face is covered with a layer of murderous aura.
The jailer threw Duan Hongyu to the ground, and a leader replied, "Lord Hu, the criminal Duan Hongyu mentioned." ”
Na Hu said: "Duan Hongyu, raise your head." ”
Duan Hongyu said: "The criminal Duan Hongyu has seen an adult. ”
Master Hu said with a fluttering hair: "Duan Hongyu, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are solemn and clear, and they will never wronged good people. As long as you are honest, Master Ben will definitely give you a clean slate. ”
Duan Hongyu said: "Lord Xie!"
Hu Dadao: "Duan Hongyu, you say." Could it be that Iron Bow Mountain colluded with you and Luo Lianchi to steal the treasure map?"
Duan Hongyu said: "My lord, Luo Lianchi's theft of the treasure map has nothing to do with Zai Xia and Lord Tie. Lord Tie was imprisoned, which was a great injustice. ”
"But someone has witnessed you appearing in the Iron Lord's mansion. ”
"Not bad. Below is a friend of Tie Bingxin, the daughter of Lord Tie. ”
"How did you and Tie Bingxin get acquainted?"
"The Iron Maiden pursued the Jiangyang thief 'Meishan Four Friends' and helped her. ”
"During the attack on Lingzhi Island, were the people of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain involved?"
Duan Hongyu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded and said, "Yes!"
Master Hu stared at him and said, "What is your relationship with the Cloud Crossing Peak of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain?"
Duan Hongyu didn't want to involve the brothers, so he said, "I haven't known Yunfeng in the lower ranks. ”
Master Hu slapped the shocked wood and said sharply: "Duan Hongyu, don't deceive this official, if you don't know Guo Yunfeng, why would he send troops to help you?"
Duan Hongyu said: "It is really difficult to fight against Lingzhi Island with a small amount of strength, so I asked my friends to invite the people of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain to come to help in the battle, before, the villain really had no connection with the people of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain. ”
Master Hu sneered: "You really know how to lie. I think that Guo Yunfeng is the number one bandit in the rivers and lakes, and it is very difficult to ask him to send troops to help him without ten thousand taels of gold, you are a grass people, where can you get so many silver taels? Besides, who is your middleman? Quickly recruit from the truth?"
Duan Hongyu was speechless for a while, but he couldn't answer.
Master Hu said: "On Lingzhi Island, someone witnessed you and the people of the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain calling each other brothers, are you from the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain?"
Duan Hongyu knew that he couldn't hide it, and secretly thought that just colluding with Ten Thousand Blades Mountain might not escape death, so it was better to act from the truth, as long as he didn't implicate Tie Bingxin's father and daughter, he said: "The villain is just a wandering wanderer, and he has a little friendship with the people of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, but he has never done anything for Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, and he doesn't know what they have done in the past." ”
Hu Dadao: "You are just a wanderer who has fallen into the rivers and lakes, but where does the money you spend on weekdays come from, are you deceiving the good or stealing and looting?"
"It's all the villain's early savings and friends in the rivers and lakes. ”
"But you have more than seventy taels of silver in your baggage, how can you have so many taels of silver in the grass people? I think you are the internal response sent to Beijing by Li Zicheng and Guo Yunfeng, hurry up and recruit from the truth. ”
Duan Hongyu said: "The villain's silver is indeed left by the ancestors, and the villain will never dare to deceive the adult." ”
Master Hu got down from his seat, walked in front of Duan Hongyu and said, "I won't ask you about this." On that day, the emperor sent Tie Gongshan, Xia Qianxun, and Lin Fengting to assassinate Li Zicheng. Iron Bow Mountain has fallen into the hands of Li Zicheng, but how did he escape?"
Duan Hongyu didn't expect Master Hu to find out about this matter, afraid that he would charge Tie Gong Mountain with secretly breaking into the king, so he said truthfully: "It's Lord Tie who was rescued by the villain!"
Hu Dadao: "You have nothing to do with him, why do you want to save him?"
"As I said, I'm a good friend of Iron Maiden. ”
"In this way, Tie Bingxin's relationship with you is not ordinary?"
"My lord, the Iron Maiden is absolutely innocent, I hope your lord will find out. ”
Master Hu said angrily: "You said that you and Tie Bingxin are innocent, but why do you want to save his father even if you don't want to save your life?"
"Because Lord Tie is an honest official, he couldn't bear to be killed by Zhongliang, so he came to the rescue, and this matter has nothing to do with Iron Maiden. ”
Hu Dadao: "The surname is Duan, you can recruit it! Is it that Tiegongshan's father and daughter secretly communicate with Li Chuang, and you are their contact? You single-handedly directed the Luo Lianchi theft case, just to let you get merit and get close to the saint, and you people will cooperate with Li Chuang and Guo Yunfeng to subvert my Daming Jiangshan, what am I saying or not?"
Duan Hongyu said: "The villain has the courage to do such a rebellious thing. ”
Master Hu smiled: "You will admit it!" With a wave of his hand: "Bring me the Iron Bow Mountain!"
After a short time, I saw that Tie Gong Mountain was lifted up covered in blood, and he was covered in wounds, and it seemed that he had been tortured.
Duan Hongyu became more and more unbearable, and said secretly: "It's because I don't do things secretly that Lord Tie is tortured like this." ”
