The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 109 Conspiracy and trickery, every step of the way

Hearing the word Zhang Xian, Zhao Tong smiled: "Zhang Xian, it really is a good name. By the way, Longyou brought a gift back. You all have a share. I'll ask someone to bring it over later."

The young lady was immediately cautious when she heard the words, she lowered her head and said, "I dare not ask for the prince's things."

Zhao Tong said: "Everyone has a share, if you refuse, it is not beautiful."

After he finished speaking, he left and saw two maids coming out of the house. There were only five or six maids in the palace. Except for bringing tea and food, no one served them on weekdays. At most, they only cleaned the room.

The servant girl greeted him, and he called to follow him, then went to Su Shi and asked the servant girl to take things to the backyard, and then said to Su Shi, "Let me and the king go to the Ministry of Punishment for a walk."

Su Shi didn't know what was going on, and upon hearing this, he immediately ordered ten guards from Yulongzhi, and Zhao Tuo didn't ride a horse, and went straight to the punishment department in a cart.

At this moment in Prince Yun's mansion, Zhao Kai is sitting behind the desk and drawing, his brushwork is delicate and sophisticated, what he painted is a picture of birds and rocks reflecting interest, beside the strange boulder, there are green vines wrapped around a tree, a bird is catching on the vine Standing on his feet, he tilted his head and stared at the worm, as if thinking about eating it right away, or waiting for the next delicious meal.

The picture is lifelike, Zhao Kai was engrossed in it, when suddenly someone asked to see him outside, Zhao Kai called in and listened to the person, then smiled and said: "You are in such a hurry, I don't know what color that girl is, and she even wants to protect a brother in civilian clothes."

The visitor said: "My lord, what should I do?"

Zhao Kai said: "He killed my concubine's elder brother, I will kill that young lady's younger brother, I will show him this matter only when I come back, and I should slap him in the face, otherwise, how can Tan Zhen's bastard stop him?" to date."

The visitor asked, "Where is the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zhao Kai said: "The Kaifeng mansion is ignorant. According to the law, a death in a fight is a sentence of exile, so what's the point? They always kill people intentionally, so that he can't survive. Let's close the case today. There are witnesses and witnesses. Prove him to death!"

The visitor said: "The subordinates go to the prison to raise people, just chop them up!"

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Go so fast."

The Ministry of Punishment did not stop bathing today, but there were few people in front of the gate. Zhao Tuan suddenly thought of something when the carriage stopped, and said to Su Shi: "Go to the prison first, and then we can talk about bringing people out."

The large prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not outside the city, but just behind the Fusi of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It has a semi-dungeon structure, and there are eight cells in it, with a total of hundreds of rooms.

This is not to say how clear the emperor is, but because he is so stupid that he can clear it up with money. Except for major cases as subsidies, basically few of them are sent here.

The carriage came close, Zhao Tang got out of the carriage and took a look, there was a group of imperial guards patrolling here, there were only five or six of them, it was far from the same as when they were fighting, so they summoned them.

The imperial guards in the capital didn't know him, so they came to bow down, Zhao Tong said: "Guard the prison gate of the criminal department, no one is allowed to enter or leave, just say what the king wants."

The imperial guards took orders, and when Zhao Tun arrived at the door, the two guards who guarded the door looked winkingly, they came over to salute, and said, "My lord..."

Su Shi pulled the two of them aside with a scabbard: "The king of Qi is doing business, and the one who is sensible is the last!"

The jailer was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was dragged aside by the guards. The two of them were obedient, they didn't yell, they covered their heads and squatted on the ground. They had the right to rest.

Su Shi said: "My lord has a golden body and a noble body. It's good for the subordinates to enter such a pickled place."

Zhao Tun shook his head and said, "Where do all these nonsense come from, just go straight."

Su Shi opened the way in front of him, the criminal prison is half underground, when he first entered, there was still light from outside, and when he went deeper, it was all illuminated by oil lamps.

There are two more posts in the passage, one is interesting, and the other is long-winded, and the long-winded one is overturned by the guards, and only the prison leader is brought in for questioning.

The prison chief was complaining in his heart, he knew something, but his family was like a grass in the wind, how could he be his own master.

Zhao Tong said, "Where is Zhang Xian?"

The head of the prison said: "District No. [-], the iron claw head is interrogating!"

Zhao Tun's face darkened: "Lead the way!"

The cell leader got up and hurried forward. After a while, he came to a cell, and saw an oil lamp lit in the fence, and two pots of charcoal fire, which were glowing red and bright.

There was a young man hanging with his hands tied inside. The young man looked young, only thirteen or fourteen years old. His face was pale at the moment, his eyes were closed, his clothes were ragged, and the marks of the whip whip were obvious.

A man in black in front of him was burning an iron claw-like instrument of torture in a charcoal basin. Even if you die in this prison, you will end up fearful of crimes, whoever makes you offend a big shot, you can only blame fate!"

Zhao Tang looked at the tools for writing and drawing in the prison cell, and knew in his heart that the head catcher had intentionally abused them, so he said coldly, "Take it!"

Su Shi took two guards to break down the prison door and went to catch the head-catcher. The iron claw was frightened and jumped up to resist, but it was Su Shi's opponent. The painted gourd was hung up.

At this moment, Iron Claw came to his senses and shouted for mercy. Su Shi looked at him and smiled: "Your name is Iron Claw? Now it doesn't matter whether you ask for forgiveness or not, even if you die in this prison, you will end up fearing crime. If you offend a big shot, you have to blame fate!"

Iron Claw's eyes widened, wasn't that what he said just now?How could retribution be so fast?Fate is really unfair to this group of birds!When he saw Su Shi pick up the red-hot iron claw, he stretched it out, sobbed twice in his throat, there was no reason to justify.

Su Shi is no different from Huang Gu and others, his family is also from a distinguished family background, in fact, all the heads and brains in the class have some background, Yu Longzhi is even more so, although he belongs to the Dianqian Division, he is the most difficult to manipulate The kind of people who are close to the princes and princes of the official family on weekdays, even the chief minister in front of the palace doesn't care about it, they only receive a salary.

He is courageous and less scruples than Tan Zhen in handling affairs, otherwise he would not have rolled up the white tiger's skin in the hall in front of the palace and left. What kind of.

Zhao Tong didn't care about him, looked at the young man who had been put down, he looked carefully, but he was handsome, but now he was tortured so much that he lost his strength.

The boy reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Tun, his eyes were full of confusion.

Zhao Tong said, "Zhang Xian?"

The boy said weakly, "Yes, I don't know..."

Zhao Tong nodded: "Don't talk anymore, cultivate your energy first."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and the soldier of the forbidden army suddenly ran down one person, seeing Zhao Tun hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the people from the Imperial City Division are here, and the subordinates can't stop them."

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and said: "Imperial City Secretary? Sure enough, once the power is in hand, he will carry out the order. The third brother is not willing to die!"
