Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 401 Lao Zhu's prison inspection, the clues were interrupted

Kai Ji stared at the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said: "His Majesty will personally investigate this matter, and the supervisory censor will follow. If there is nothing wrong, everyone will be safe and sound. If there is something wrong, the entire prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will have to be replaced. "

Unexpectedly, the two subordinates had already been wandering in their thoughts, dazed in a daze, when Kaiji saw the state of the two, he got angry and said, "Did you hear that?"

"Ah, ah, I heard it. The subordinates will keep it in mind."

Kaiji understood that the crown prince was involved in both the civil disorder case in Fengyang and the county magistrate Liu case, if these two people don't go in and follow, they stand outside in a daze, and don't implicate the Ministry of Criminal Justice if they don't want to be an official.

Seeing Kaiji leave, the head of the Criminal Department and the Minister of the Criminal Department immediately hid in the nearby yard: "What should Minister Wei do?"

"Calm down, you go and lock up the two jailers who participated in Liu Xiong. I will send someone to find Liu Xiong's father, Liu Shao, and tell him to leave the capital immediately."

Two pairs of Beijing troops immediately stood on both sides of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, armed with spears, and defended strictly in a mighty and orderly manner.

After entering the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhu Biao glanced at it and felt strange. The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has always been an important place in the capital. I really don't know what the results of this investigation will be.

"Father, what do you think of Kaiji and this incident?"

"We're not sure whether the Ministry of Criminal Justice is tricky or not. It's just that he has always been well-known for doing things. We don't believe that he will do such things."

Could it be that his Ministry of Punishment was also infiltrated by this group of corrupt officials?Emperor Zhu glanced at the yamen: "Look, there isn't even a single person coming out to meet you right now, everyone is going to prepare."

Emperor Zhu's eyes are very poisonous, and these things are like a mirror in his heart.

Zhu Biao nodded, with the upper body in the dragon robe, what he saw was looking at flowers in the fog, fishing for the moon in the water, true and false.

At this moment, Kaiji rushed over with a group of officials, and when he saw Emperor Zhu and the crown prince coming, he immediately went up to pay homage.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhu went directly to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice without even looking at the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Like a mouse meeting a cat, they hurriedly followed behind with their heads lowered.

"His Royal Highness is really here. This is a difficult master." The head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice wiped his forehead, thankful in his heart, thanks to the fact that the two jailers had already been arrested.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Everyone knows that Zhu Biao is not easy to fool.

"You are the Lord of Hell, and I will also let the little ghost dazzle you." The servant of the Ministry of punishment stared at Zhu Biao's back, his eyes radiated cold light.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao with their heads down, waiting to answer at any time.

The Great Prison is located in the back hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. When you pass through Qingshi Kuan Road, you will see four courtyard walls that are higher than ordinary walls.
The prison of the Ministry of punishment is located in the west of the imperial city, also known as the prison of the Ministry of punishment, and it was set up together with the Nadu procuratorate that I asked Lao Zhu to reform.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei.It was the chief spy organization. Later, Zhu Biao asked Mao Xiang to instigate those women into secret agents of the imperial court in the brothel singing and dancing workshops in various prefectures and counties, and number them.

This institution is similar to the contemporary KGB and the CIA. Jin Yiwei's service objects are Emperor Zhu and Zhu Biao.

From the day it was established, Emperor Zhu showed him the list of all Jinyiwei, and these people only recognized Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Today's Jinyiwei is not as scary as the latter, mainly monitoring some officials that Lao Zhu is worried about.

When not doing business, Jinyiwei has two main responsibilities, the imperial guard and the court guard.

In the evening, he is responsible for monitoring the ministers and arresting the criminal ministers.For this reason, Lao Zhu also set up the Zhenfu Prison, also known as the Imperial Prison.

But very few people in the court knew about it. They only thought that Zhao Prison was the same as the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They didn't know that there were people listening on their roof at night.

However, so far, Zhu Biao has not seen a few people entering this big prison.After entering here, I made a mistake. Without the imperial decree and oral order from Lao Zhu, even the Ministry of Punishment would not dare to go in and arrest people.

When Zhu Biao saw the high wall, he felt bored, an indescribably depressed feeling.

Entering the compound, the southeast corner is a prison surrounded by iron birch.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was staring at the prison, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and explained: "Your Highness, these are the local ruffians and bullies in the capital. Those who sneak around are temporarily detained here."

At this moment, the prisoners locked in the corner yard were kneeling with their heads bowed, their beards unkempt for a long time, and the facial features covering their faces could not be seen clearly.

Zhu Biao ignored the official, turned around and followed behind Lao Zhu, walking towards the front.

The prison, which was sitting upright, looked like a stone coffin as a whole, and the dark door was wide open at this moment.

On both sides were jailers in official uniforms, standing still with their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Kaiji said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please."

The corridor was damp and cool, with braziers burning on the dark stone path.

At the door is the small house where the jailers rest at night. Inside is the large prison surrounded by wooden fences.

There was a rotten smell, the smell of rotten wounds, and the smell of urine. Zhu Biao frowned slightly. This smell should bring those dog officials to smell it. It is recommended to smell it repeatedly.

"Tap, tap."

The sound of footsteps echoed around, Kaiji stared at the back of Lao Zhu's head, his heart raised to his throat.

After Zhu Biao came in, he slowly got used to the darkness inside, stood beside Old Zhu, and looked around carefully.

The hotel has a five-star rating, and the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice also have grades. Zhu Biao wondered whether there were ordinary cells, superior cells, and VIP cells.

Could it be that these criminals from Daming can still act as VIPs when they come in.

"Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why are the prisons placed in different places and in different degrees? Could it be that our prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Daming is an inn outside, and there are different rooms?" Zhu Biao looked at Ke Hang, the director of the Ministry of Criminal Justice behind him.

"This this……"

Emperor Zhu also noticed it, looked at Kaiji and asked, "Kaiji, is this criminal prison special?"

Seeing that the head of the Criminal Department was stuttering, the servant of the Criminal Department immediately interjected between the two of them, saying: "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the clean and tidy cell is because some people have committed crimes, and their crimes are relatively minor, so the cell is better."

I believe you, you bastards... Zhu Biao said, "Got it."

Old Zhu couldn't wait a long time ago: "The death row criminal Liu Xiong who trampled to death a child and stabbed Zhang Yuhe to death in the outskirts of the city also lives in this kind of place?"

"No, no, Liu Xiong is in Tianzi No. [-], A-list cell." The head of the criminal department replied.

"Go directly to Liu Xiong's room." Zhu Biao urged behind him.

Kai Ji signaled his two subordinates to lead the way immediately.

When everyone came to the first cell of Tianzihao, Zhu Biao looked in through the wooden fence and found that it was very clean, even the bedding was very white.There are teapots and oil lamps.

"It seems that Liu Xiong's treatment is good. Our prison is much better than the inn outside, and I want to stay here for a night." Zhu Biao said coldly.

When Kaiji heard this, he immediately walked up to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness said this, I am really ashamed."

In fact, Kaiji rarely came down, and it was all done by the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When I saw the cell today, I was really shocked.

When did this prison cell be divided into three, six, and nine classes? If there is another maid, it will be a good life.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness, because Liu Xiong got smallpox, in order to prevent other criminals from being infected, so he was alone in the room." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment explained to Emperor Zhu.

Zhu Biao looked at the person lying inside now, and asked: "Then the person lying inside now also has smallpox?"

"Your Highness was joking, this person suffers from...severe tuberculosis." The prison doctor came over at some point and said something.

Due to the loud voice, the prisoner inside immediately coughed in response.

The cooperation is really good, and a Best Actor Award can be awarded.Zhu Biao knelt down and was about to look at the man from the cell.

Suffering from severe pulmonary tuberculosis should be emaciated, pale, and coughing continuously, which are the most basic characteristics.

But this person is tall and thick, and he still has a healthy complexion.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was very good at operating, and when he saw Zhu Biao wanted to check it carefully, he immediately cursed at the people in the cell: "Get out of here, you dead tuberculosis."

Before Zhu Biao had time to look, the man had already shrunk to the corner of the dark wall.

It looks like a dog.

Zhu Biao frowned, you are so loud because you want to scare me to death, and the soul-caller, there is something tricky in it at first glance.

He stood up and looked at the servant of the Ministry of Justice: "Since he is sick, you can prepare such a good cell, why bother to insult him."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment nodded quickly: "What His Royal Highness said is true."

At this moment, Emperor Zhu said: "Where are the jailers guarding Liu Xiong? We want to see them."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment said with regret: "Back to the emperor, the two of them sent the exiled prisoners to the southwest not long ago, and they are still on the way. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back in a few months."

Zhu Biao said: "Then go and meet that Liu Xiong's father, Liu Shao."

Emperor Zhu nodded.

Kaiji also agreed: "Let you find Liu Shao, where is Liu Shao?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Your Highness, Liu Shaotao, he has gone to other places to do business. It won't be half a year before he can't come back."

What a coincidence, coincidences made this case happen, and the clues were interrupted.

　Ask for a ticket.
