Chai Ruge, 16 years old, unmarried, hereditary prince, rich and noble, the people of the capital listed him as the first of the "top ten gentlemen of the Beijing Division".

For this title that is not very glorious, Chai Ruge didn't care, but instead he joked with the princes and grandsons such as Yun Wangkai, Cai Xiang's eldest son Cai You, and the richest man and the richest young brother: "As the old saying goes: 'Only when you are an official for three generations can you know how to dress and eat', and it is also extremely difficult to be the 'first gentleman in Beijing'." ”

Under the cover of such a prodigal name, Chai Ruge is carrying out a series of conspiracies to subvert the "Song Dynasty" to restore the country step by step.

Now the season, it is already the end of autumn, although it is not yet winter, the "Golden House" warm pavilion of "Liang Wangfu", has risen the stove, the valuable "red basket charcoal", in the fireplace to make a "squeak" light sound, this kind of charcoal is fragrant and does not smoke, the price is expensive, and only the princely rich family can afford to use it.

The windows on all sides of the study were tightly closed, and not even a little wind shred could blow in.

One of the things Chai Ruge doesn't like the most is blowing the wind.

"I hate blowing wind, and in those years, I followed Guo Bo in the 'Hexi' desert, dealing with sand thieves, and I had to be exposed to the wind and sun every day. Chai Ruge said to her sister Angel, the county lord: "

Now my identity is different, I have to stay in the Four Seasons Spring Warm Pavilion, with a delicate luminous cup, drinking fine grape wine, listening to Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" lyrics and songs, watching the beautiful little girl perform a naked dance, waiting for Mei Jiao'e to feed the peeled kumquat to my mouth, this kind of life, only to live up to my crown python robe and jade belt red boots. ”

- Chai Ruge is such a person, he knows how to enjoy it very well. God gave birth to him, as if he wanted him to enjoy all kinds of wine and glamorous songs in this world, naked dances, beautiful women, brocade clothes, jade food, glory and wealth. Almost all people believe that he was born with this kind of wealth and incomparable good life.

The fragrance is pervasive, and there is a pot of osmanthus lotus seed ginkgo porridge on the copper stove, which is refreshing.

Chai Ruge lazily wore a pure silk robe, he stood barefoot, standing on the woolen carpet given to him by the "Western Regions" merchants, slowly drinking a glass of amber "wine", listening to the sycamore in the autumn breeze outside the study, as if whispering lovesickness.

Angel sat in front of the piano case, plucked her fingers lightly, and "Zheng Cong" went out of the house with a clear sound, and her heartstrings were already vibrating with the strings.

Chai Ruge's crystal luminous glass, poured another glass of "Persian" grape wine, he poured himself a drink and quietly looked at Angel, listening to her play the piano and listen to her singing......

"Zheng-"

The strings suddenly snapped, and the abrupt sound of the piano suddenly ignited the loneliness in the room.

After a long, long time, Chai Ruge shook the "wine" in the glass that was as red as human blood, and raised his head to look at Angel: "Are you still thinking about him?

His tone was very indifferent, as if he wanted to turn his eyes into a sharp knife and pierce it into his sister's heart.

"No, no. The county lord of Angel lowered her head, and her voice was so soft that she couldn't even hear herself. She stroked the broken strings, as if she was soothing her wounded soul and her broken heart.

Chai Ruge glared at her with bladed eyes: "Since I don't, then give me a smile, Lord Suo Ling Chisuo is coming in a while, don't put on such a stinky face in front of distinguished guests, then my mood will be very bad, once my mood is not good, I will play in the 'kennel' at night, it will be nice to have you little!"

As if frightened, Lord Angel immediately put away her sadness, she immediately changed into a happy face, and she immediately tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

"That's how good it is. Chai Ruge nodded with satisfaction: "Do you want to know, I asked Suo Lingchi that demon king to come over, what is the matter?"

There was irrepressible horror in the depths of the county lord's eyes, and she followed the meaning of her brother: "Brother Wang called him, and he must have been assigned something important to do." ”

"Then have you ever heard that the darkest, most mysterious, most terrifying, and most terrifying place in the 'Criminal Department' is called the 'Heavenly Prison'?" Chai Ruge asked with a smile.

"I heard that the prison of the 'Criminal Department' is divided into four prison cells according to the level of guilt of the prisoners: 'heaven', 'earth', 'xuan', and 'yellow'. The smile of the county lord Angel seemed to have begun to become a little reluctant:

"The prisoners in the 'yellow' class houses are all female prisoners, and their crimes are relatively minor, and their sentences are relatively short; in the 'Xuan' cells, most of them are prisoners who have committed serious crimes, and almost all of them have murder cases; and so on, the 'underground' dungeon at the next level is all Jiang Yang thieves and traitors whose hands are stained with blood, and they are among the most heinous crimes; in the most secluded and darkest corners of the cell, there is a row of 72 cells, which is the rumored 'heavenly prison', and the prisoners who can live in this highest-level death row must be full of evil. A very dangerous big shot. ”

Chai Ruge's serpent-like eyes looked directly at Sister Nai, who was trembling: "You should also know the methods used by the chief cell in charge of the 'Heavenly Prison', Master Suo Ling Chisuo, to torture prisoners, which often makes people unable to even dream of it. ”

"It is said that there is a monk of the 'Shaolin School' 'Iron Arhat' Fa Zheng, as a boy, in the 'Songshan' penance for 30 years, has practiced the "Golden Bell Jar", "Iron Cloth Shirt", "Thirteen Taibao" and other horizontal practice kung fu, and later went down the mountain to offend Brother Wang, was sent by Brother Wang to the 'Heavenly Prison' imprisoned for three days, in order to show a small punishment; three days later, when the 'Iron Arhat' came out, he kowtowed to Brother Wang to ask for guilt, Brother Wang generously gave him a beautiful maid to accompany Huan, he wanted to climb on the maid, but could not climb up. ”

Chai Ruge took a sip of wine and sighed: "It seems that Sister Wang, who stays at home, knows a lot of things." ”

The county lord of Angel immediately panicked again, and the resentment in the heart of his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Chai Ruge asked: "I invited Master Suo to come over this time, just to ask him to treat a person well in the 'heavenly prison', so that he wants to die every day, but he can't live or die." ”

The county lord of Angel quietly looked at the uncertain young man in front of her, she watched every change in his expression very carefully, and after a long time she asked, "Who is this person, why does Brother Wang hate him so much?"

"His name is Sana Tseen, and he is just an ordinary 'Mongolian' horse dealer. Chai Ruge's voice always carried a kind of ridicule that was difficult to capture, and he continued lightly: "But his brother-in-law Chen Yuan killed Uncle Guo Huaizhong (see the volume of "Overlord's Life"), as long as I force it ruthlessly, I am not afraid that Chen Yuan will not come to save people; ”

"It turns out that the 'horse walk' is missing, and you made it single-handedly?" Angel's hand suddenly clenched, and even his knuckles turned white from exertion.

"Hehe, the dozens of horsemen and the officials of the 'Household Department' in the 'Ma Xing', I sent the 'Kill Workshop' in the 'Killing Workshop' to 'kill or bury' Song Zhong and the 'Sun, Moon and Star' Sun Father-in-law, Moon Sister, and Star Brother A few people, and they were easily cleaned up. Chai Ruge's face suddenly showed a very childish smile: "As for the batch of disaster relief money and food worth more than 10,000 taels, it is naturally hidden obediently in our 'Great Zhou' secret restoration base!"

The eyes of the county lord of Angel were staring at Naidi: "Do you know? Just because of the disappearance of that batch of disaster relief money and food, the victims in the disaster area ahead were starved to death, frozen to death, and died of disease overnight, as many as 20,000 people?!"

This was originally a sentence that should have disgusted Chai Ruge, but after Chai Ruge heard it, not only did he not get angry, but laughed. And he smiled childishly: "Those damned pariahs, just die." He asked Sister Nai: "Could it be that those more than 20,000 cheap lives will be more important than the blood feud of Uncle Guo who raised our sister and brother to adulthood?"

The county lord of Angel was speechless, Chai Ruge stood up and patted Sister Nai's shoulder, poured her a glass of wine, and said with a happy smile: "Don't be sad, be happy, the guest we invited, Lord Suo, has already arrived outside the door." ”

Lord Angel meekly drained the wine in her glass, and there was a hint of terror in her eyes when she looked at him secretly, but it was quickly replaced by imperceptible hatred and resentment......

......

"Ghost Sorrow" Suo Lingchi, forty-one years old this year, has a delicate face, slender hands and feet like a girl, like a fallen talent, more like a cool official in the criminal gate.

In today's "criminal department" system, due to the different functions, there are three leaders in charge of one side.

-- He is not only the lord of Shangshu who is in charge of the overall situation, but also the king of Yama, the chief of the "Heavenly Prison", Suo Lingchi, and the new chief catcher of the "Six Gates" who has recently replaced the post of the "immortal dragon" Long Bushi who has fled treason, and Gong Chen, who is the new chief catcher of the "six gates" who has recently taken over the position of the "immortal dragon" who has fled treason.

The gentry, officials, and people in the capital have three very vivid fierce birds and beasts, describing these three "criminal department" giants.

-- If it is said that Gong Chen, who took office as a new official with three fires, was ruthless in his work with an iron face and was resolute in his efficiency, and was denounced as the "eagle of the criminal department," then King Yama, who was known as the "smiling tiger," was a tiger that ate people and did not spit out bones, while Suo Lingchi, the other chief cell leader who presided over the life and death of the "heavenly prison" and seized great power, was undoubtedly a poisonous snake that hurt people and could not be guarded.

Yan Shangshu is a member of the second grade, and the head of the bow is also a senior official from the fourth grade, although the head of the cell is only a fifth-grade minister, but he holds the power of life and death of tens of thousands of death row prisoners in the "heavenly prison", and his status is special.

It is said that Suo Lingchi is the "Huainan" faction of the "Eagle Claw Gate" descendants, the most successful one, his martial arts and achievements, than his head brother "Eagle Claw King" Mao Ying, are a cut above the other, his "Eagle Claw Gong" and "Seventy-two Road Small Grabs", many years ago has been recognized by the "Beijing Division" colleagues as a must in the martial arts.

Although his hands seemed to be slender and weak, and he had long nails, as soon as he made a move, those hands that were as boneless as a woman would become a pair of invisible weapons to kill people.

Suo Lingchi's famous battle was seven years ago on the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Ali Baba, who was imprisoned in room 12 of the word "Tian", and the forty thieves escaped from prison en masse when the festival guards were drunk and lax.

Suo Lingchi was familiar with the wine, and he used the "Eagle Claw Skill" and the "Seventy-two Road Little Grabber", and with the power of one person, he broke the tendons and bones of these forty-one ferocious "Tianshan" thieves, and recaptured them one by one like dragging dead dogs back to the "Heavenly Prison"!
