Chapter 25 Ren Qingcheng

Prince's Mansion.

The subordinate officials and subordinates all bowed their heads to work, and the atmosphere was depressed.

In the study room, some fragments of scrolls and teacups were scattered on the floor.

Prince Zhao Shuang's face was gloomy, and the subordinates beside him were trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Rebel!"

"In the capital of the Dayin Dynasty, the courtiers of the Prince's Mansion were killed in the street!"

Zhao Shuang gritted his teeth, his heart burning with anger.

A few days ago, he saw a beautiful girl on the street, so he asked someone to inquire, and then invited him into the Prince's residence.

Today, news came back that the girl had been found, and Zhao Shuang was happily waiting at home, but what he did not expect was the news that the leader of the guards he relied on had died.

This made Zhao Shuang furious.

"Check! Check it out for me!"

"Dig the ground three feet, turn upside down the [-] squares in the capital, and find the person for me!"

"I want to kill his nine clans, cut him to pieces!"

Zhao Shuang shouted angrily.

With the death of Emperor Xuanhe, Zhao Shuang also became a prince from the emperor's grandson, and his temper became more and more violent.

Only with the blood of the provocateur can he calm down the anger in his chest.

The subordinate responded and was about to leave. When he reached the door of the study, he was stopped by Zhao Shuang again, "Wait a minute."

"And that bitch named Myolie Wu, who dares to disobey me, kill him."

"Isn't there a quack who jumped out of the middle? What's his name?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Ren Qingcheng."

Zhao Shuang hummed, and said coldly: "This Ren Qingcheng, put me in prison and let the Secretary of the Imperial City torture him in [-] ways. I want to see how hard his bones are."

"Yes." The subordinate led the order to leave.

Zhao Shuang walked back to sit on the grand master's chair with a serious expression on his face.

This Dayin Dynasty is the world of his Zhao family, and his father is the eldest son of his second child.

How dare a group of untouchables resist?
On this day, all yamen in the capital took action quickly.

A martial law was launched in various cities in the capital.

A mutiny occurred in Gongzhou, which is less than a hundred miles away from the capital, and the court's reaction was mediocre.

A guard who robbed civilian girls died in the Prince's Mansion, and the entire capital was put under martial law.

Prison.

Gu Shen carried a rice bucket and delivered food to the prisoners next to the cell.

After delivering the meal, I went to the Eight Immortals Table to chat with Xu Nuo, Zhang Shunli and others.

The environment in the imperial prison is indeed not good. Zhang Shunli has lost more than a dozen catties in less than half a year since he took office, with thin arms and legs, and a dull complexion.

It can't be all blamed on the Imperial Prison, it has something to do with the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

During the chatting of several people, the Gongzhou Rebellion was mentioned.

There are many rumors in the market, saying that when they wake up, maybe the Gongzhou rebels will break open the gate of the capital and attack the imperial city.

The prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are in chaos, and the common people in the capital are only talking about it. It is too far away from them, but Gongzhou is right in front of them, so it is inevitable that people will panic.

Gu Shen knew a little about the Mutiny in Gongzhou.

It still has something to do with taxation. To what extent is the taxation of Dayin Dynasty now?If the grain received in the field is divided into three shares, the court will take two shares.

The food left by the farmers is not enough to last the next year, and many people are digging wild vegetables, even to the point of eating bark.

However, in order to support the suppression of chaos in the south and maintain the expenses of all parties in the court, some ministers put their ideas on taxation again, collecting more taxes, and taking Gongzhou, which is relatively close to the capital, as an experimental area.

Unexpectedly, it was a mess, and the only food left by the farmers would not be enough to last the next year, let alone pay more.

Next, the subordinate officials came to the door to force the conscripts, and then clashed with the farmers, killing many farmers.

And the grandsons and sons of these farmers are all serving as soldiers in the barracks. When they learned that their relatives and elders were beaten to death by the government, they were naturally furious.

There are not a few local children in the army ** state, everyone gathered together to discuss, and then raised the flag of rebellion, attacked the state capital and county government, cut off the head of the county magistrate, and wiped out all the magistrates. Only the magistrate of Gongzhou was patrolling outside and escaped die.

After chatting for a while, it was time to inspect the cell.

Gu Shen started his investigation from the No. A cell, which currently holds three prisoners.

It was clearly the prisoner in Cell A No. [-], Lei Zhen nicknamed Yanzhou Taisui.

The prisoner in Cell A No. [-] is nicknamed Deng Lin, the Door God.

The prisoner in cell No. [-], formerly the Immortal Master Tongxuan of Chengtian Temple, is now the old Taoist Tongxuan.

"This Lei Zhen is amazing. The injury he suffered was worse than that of Wang Ning, but he has survived until now. It is estimated that he should be very close to the first rank. He is not an ordinary second rank master."

"Deng Lin is a third-rank expert, about the same as me. Tsk tsk, it's so miserable. His tendons and hamstrings have been cut off, and he doesn't have a piece of good meat all over his body. He still has to live without sex. This is the end of casual sex."

Next, Gu Shen went to check cell No. [-], and the condition of Tongxuan Laodao imprisoned there was similar to that of Deng Lin, both of whom were in a near-death state.

"They are all second-rank masters." Gu Shen thought in his heart.

Although this idea is very inhumane, no matter whether it is Yanzhou Heavenly King, Sangmen God or Tongxuan Taoist, they are not good people in the outside world, and for Gu Shen, this is indeed a great supplement.

If he absorbed the black substance produced after the death of these people, Gu Shen felt that he would definitely take a big step forward.

Although eager, but Gu Shen is not in a hurry, he can wait slowly in this blessed place of Imperial Prison.

"Soon, not too long."

After inspecting the A-size cell, Gu Shen continued to walk through the B-size cell and the C-size cell.

On this day, there was another prisoner in the prison.

Gu Shen had seen this person before, and it was Ren Qingcheng, the Young Hero of Jingzhou who was defeated by the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion that day.

Li Ga stood outside Ren Qingcheng's cell, shook his head with a sigh, then turned and left.

Looking at Li Ga's appearance, Gu Shen guessed that he knew something inside, so he followed.

"Brother Li, I think you know the prisoner in Cell B No. 15?" Gu Shen asked intentionally.

Li Ga quickly shook his head, looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and said, "Little Gu, don't talk nonsense, I don't know him, I just know why he was arrested and sent to prison."

This is exactly what Gu Shen wanted to know, he asked curiously: "Brother Li, why was he arrested and sent to prison?"

Li Ga was about to speak, when he suddenly asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Gu Shen laughed, and said: "Brother Li, am I curious? Ordinary people are not qualified to be imprisoned in our imperial prison. To be imprisoned in this imperial prison must have committed some serious crime."

Li Ga clicked his tongue, nodded and said: "Yes, he did commit a serious crime, he offended the crown prince!"

Gu Shen already had a guess in his mind. He was not surprised when he heard Li Ga say that Ren Qingcheng had offended the crown prince, but his face showed shock, and he quickly asked, "Brother Li, what's going on? How could this kid offend the prince?" Prince?"
