Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 15

In Jingzhao Mansion, where the night is dark, most people regard it as a corner of the road; the prison hidden behind the blue-black high wall is shrouded in darkness like ink at this moment; The howling sound disappeared into the lanterns swimming like will-o'-the-wisps and the low-pitched reprimands of its holders.

And in the depths of this continuous building.The air in the few interior rooms illuminated by blazing lamps was filled with thick blood, mixed with other strange smells of vomit and excrement.Occasionally, someone carried a red and black sewage basin out to dump it.It represents the scene where the interrogation and torture are being expedited overnight.

Surrounded by all kinds of instruments of torture, those human bodies that were tightly bound and chained to the wall, wailing and wailing incessantly; they were all confiscated one after another during the night of Shangyuan under the all-night search. The people involved in the Sansefang were arrested; and according to the blood and dirt on the ground, it is obvious that this is not the first batch of people to be tortured.

And as the focus of it, dripping with sweat, with bare shoulders and flushed skin, he looks like a torturer with smoke lingering, but he is still twisting the mechanism, facing each other relentlessly, a strange-shaped wooden frame The human body with no good skin and flesh on the earth often hisses repeatedly and asks:

"Where's Mr. Qinghei? Where's Maofabao?"

"Why didn't you disappear all night?"

"What else are you hiding?"

"It's such a huge piece of property, with more than a dozen industries, how come these few leaders just happened to be missing?"

"Wait...forgive me...let me tell you everything..."

However, the figure on the wooden frame only had this repeated response:
"Forgive you? Then who will spare us?"

However, the torturer spat out a mouthful of phlegm in annoyance, then picked up a pair of tongs and pressed it against it, saying bitterly:

"I've been implicated by you all, and I can't live in peace for days and nights."

So, not long after being under the control of the torturer, there was only one walking corpse left on the rack of torture tools, with crooked mouth, slobbering eyes, slobbering, feces and urine.Then, another person was replaced from the wall; torture and interrogation continued...

After all, there are some shocking relationships behind this, which is really hard to let go.And what drives them can't wait is to find some explanations and rhetoric from these thieves and criminals that can help those comrades stay out of the matter; so that they can deal with the case of the backer behind the scenes, and quickly resolve this incident that may cause fire. An iron case.

They are so focused and willful, but they don't know it at all; because of the chain reaction caused by the unexpected changes in the prison and the unexpected discovery made by someone; It is sweeping towards the location of Jingzhao Mansion.

According to the duties of the supervisory censors of Duji Province, in addition to the prisons to which the three censors belong, they also need to be divided into left and right patrols at the end of each month with Zhuque Street as the boundary; Jinwu, government prison, county prison and other prisons.Of course, after years of peace and quiet, the chances of actually needing the censor to visit the prison are rare.

Therefore, when Zhou Yanbang, Zuo Ducha, who was the palace of Yushitai, suddenly came to Jingzhao Mansion overnight, it immediately brought a lot of violent reactions and movements.Except for Jingzhao Dayin and clan Li Ruihui who basically didn't do anything and was nursing at home; the other left and right Shaoyins who were entertaining guests or resting, and the on-duty Caos joining the army and recording affairs were all alarmed.

Not to mention those who are permanently stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, who will supervise the six-street patrol police after the curfew, and supervise the opening and closing of the gates of Fangshi, the left and right street envoys of the Jinwu Guard; Soldiers), as well as the marriage officer who imprisoned the nearest Wuhou Office.It was almost as if they heard the sound of being fully dressed to welcome them out.

Then, following the vast Jingzhao Mansion yamen, like a nest soaked in water, emerged from the back door one after another; those figures who threw themselves into the dark street one after another.There are also many existences related to the interests of the Jingzhao Mansion, and they are like fish swimming under the water surface, and they get news and rumors in a few words amidst the disturbance.

As the party involved in this commotion, Zuo Ducha Zhou Yanbang had slender eyes and long eyebrows, and he had a kind of refined demeanor; They are all trembling and afraid to vent their anger.Because, the road to the upper echelon of this palace envoy and his disciples was paved with countless confessions and official positions.

And when this elegant and modest old gentleman, nicknamed "Huaishan Gentleman", arrived at the vestibule of Jingzhao Mansion, those servants, guards and subordinate officials who served as his guard of honor also rushed one after another. to.Then, after he received the tea from the military service office and touched his mouth symbolically, he put it down without hesitation and said:

"Go to the prison!"

After hearing such a sentence, dozens of officials and senior officials of the Jingzhao Mansion present also had different expressions and reactions.Some people were unavoidably shocked and wondered if there was something in the hands of Zuodu of the temple; some people sneered secretly, thinking about what they could do;

The saddest thing during this period is undoubtedly that among the subordinate officials in a kind of blue robe, the status belongs to the eighth rank at the end of the crane, but the manager who is in charge of litigation and investigation has joined the army.He almost seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, he staggered forward, his lips were trembling and he wanted to say something, but Zhou Yanbang left behind him involuntarily.

Si Li joined the army, full of sorrow and speculation, and looked at his colleagues for help; however, no one could respond to him, and they hurriedly turned around and left, following in the footsteps of the left governor.This made him even more desperate, he was just the last member of the army, he was doing his own job to get some benefits according to the rules, how could he act as a courtier?
However, he could only bite the bullet and follow along, praying in his heart that the officials under his command would not behave too badly in front of the Zuoduyuan; in this way, even if he was dismissed on the spot and went home to hear the crime, he might still A few chances around the world.Until he was full of thoughts, after passing through the buildings with many courtyards, he bumped headfirst into the predecessor.

Then, when Si Li joined the army, he heard a question from the front: "Where are the thieves arrested on the Shangyuan Festival?".The next moment, he seemed to be completely relieved all of a sudden, and his whole body felt relieved and wanted to laugh out loud.Because, the people who are stepping up the interrogation at this moment are the people from Wuhou Department and Facao.But he couldn't get involved in anything.

Afterwards, the Jinwu disciples who came here on order rushed into the prison one after another wearing armor and armed with weapons, and there was a fluttering movement; the officials who were intensifying the torture for days were also yelling in panic Amidst the clamor, they were taken down one by one and tied up; they were put together with the former prisoners for the time being.

It's just that there are some people among them who have not given up and want to argue for one or two of their actions; but it is Ma Dong, the chief robber of the Jingzhao Mansion, nicknamed "Ma Geer", who controls some of the Wuhou shops in Wannian County on a daily basis. , bad handsome and bad guy; for this reason, he also took out an official document issued earlier;

However, when Ma Dong, who was struggling to defend himself, saw the acquaintance who was escorted by Guo Chongtao, the censor of the city, Li Siyuan, the former deputy prison supervisor, and others, his face suddenly collapsed.Then, with the objects and official documents that were seized later, among the subordinate officials and senior officials of Jingzhao Mansion, several more people were named and captured on the spot.

After the sky gradually turned pale, I suppressed the sleepiness and the urge to yawn, and the remaining Jingzhao government officials and officials who were present at the scene finally welcomed their backbone; Zuo Shaoyin and Yang Chen, who made up his mind to take responsibility, appeared outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

At the same time, in the largest public room in the prison.In front of Zhou Bangyan, the inspector on the left side of the courtyard of the closed-eyed restorative hall, the bamboo curtain with strings of beads hanging down was lifted again.Then, Guo Chongtao brought a few relatives, and carefully presented a stack of blood-stamped confessions and asked for instructions:
"Left courtyard, all kinds of methods have been used; I'm afraid I shouldn't know, they are already here. Whether..."

"This matter is related to the dignity of the Tian family, and there must be no slack or omission."

But Zhou Yanbang, with gray beard and hair, closed his eyes and said in a calm voice:
"As long as you have breath, keep asking...until you have a satisfactory explanation."

After all, this public case made a lot of noise back then. In addition to the damage to the face of the Tian family, it was once used as an excuse and excuse to attack one of the three supporters;Therefore, even if this matter has been suppressed again; but the cause and effect of the abrupt end has become a thorn in the hearts of some big figures.

And Zhou Yanbang was also a member of the situation that year. Even the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture at that time was held accountable, and since then he has been led by the clan.Zhou Yanbang, who had just passed the high-level examination and was selected as the censor to patrol the city, wasted several years because of this.In contrast, what is the life and death and grievances of a mere official or official?
What's more, with the bad things these people have done in the execution ground in the past few days, do you think he is blind or deaf?I thought it was just the momentary selfish anger of these vulgar pawns who came from the market.But since it involves this public case many years ago, even if there is only a slight possibility, it is better to hold on tightly and continue to pursue it.

Thinking of this, he ordered to the outside world:

"Take my post and go to the military medical office to ask Mr. Bai from the Knife and Acupuncture Department to come over."
