Family Has a Concubine

The bandit case is going on intensively.

Yao Yangcheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Fan Zhiming, the official censor, and Zhang Zan, Minister of Dali Temple, came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice together with Cai Jie.

The prison of the Ministry of punishment is a dungeon, and there is only one exit there. Now it is guarded by the forbidden army, even Shangshu Yaoyang City must be followed by the forbidden army when entering and leaving the city, which is very strict.

Squeak— With a sound, the door of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was opened. The dark stone staircase has long been lit by torches on both sides.

Elder-in-law, please. Yao Yangcheng smiled and gestured.

Hehe, you're welcome. Cai Jie smiled and walked ahead.

Several people followed with their subordinates and walked down the steps one by one. Below is a stone house. Behind the stone house is a long corridor, which leads to each cell from there. shouts.

There were two yamen servants sitting at the table in the stone room. When they saw a few people coming down, they jumped up to salute: See Eunuch Cai, Lord Yao, Lord Zhang, and Lord Fan.

Well, there's no need to be too polite. Cai Jie lightly shook the whisk. Where is Hong Guangshou now?

Yao Yangcheng said: At this time, it's time for the routine whipping in the execution room on the right.

Did they say it? Zhang Zan said.

During this period, one of the officials said: My lord, Hong Guangshou and Yu Hui are both hard bones, and their mouths can't be pried open.

Oh? Cai Jie smiled lightly. What about the remaining party that recruited Shi Xiaoquan?

It was originally in the torture room on the left, but after the confession, it was put back in the prison. Yachai said.

Cai Jie raised his white eyebrows: Pull him to the cell on the right and lock him with Hong Guangshou.

The three of Zhang Zan were startled, and Yao Yangcheng hurriedly said, Go soon.

Yes. The clerk agreed, then turned and left.

Yao Yangcheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said anxiously: Elder-in-law is going to...

Hmph, miscellaneous family, see that everyone below has confessed, can he still stand up to this stubbornness? Eunuch Cai sneered.

Father-in-law's name, hehehe. Fan Zhiming said with a smile. Let's go to watch the sentence now.

Zhang Zan said: Let's hide in the dark first, take a look quietly, and see how the tough bones are.

Hmm. Eunuch Cai thought so too.

Yao Yangcheng felt a little uneasy for a moment, he just smiled: Then please come here, father-in-law.

Next to the torture room is the torture room, where you can see everything in the torture room through the viewing hole, but you can't see here from the torture room.

In the execution room, it was full of heat and chaos.

Bright and fiery torches were burning by the wall, and there were two shirtless and tied to a frame.

A thin figure with disheveled hair was hanging his head silently, messy and dirty hair sticking together.

And the man next to him looks like an old man, but he has a solid figure, with his head hanging down like a thin man, covered by his hair, so he can't see his face clearly.

Of the two, the former is Yu Hui, the strategist of the exile bandit, and the latter is Hong Guangshou, the leader of the exile bandit.

The two have been imprisoned here for nearly half a month. Their bodies are covered with knife wounds and welt marks, and their skin is bruised and bruised.

Hey! An annoyed shout sounded, but it was a government servant opposite them, who was greeting Hong Guangshou with a sharp point.

But Hong Guangshou lowered his head and didn't even hum.

With a sound of squeak, the cell door was opened, and two more servants dragged a bloody man in. He saw that he was in his early twenties, his face was so stained with blood that he couldn't see clearly, and finally Tied to Yu Hui's side.

Wuuu...don't hit me...I've recruited them all...I've recruited... The bloody man was weeping and sobbing as he was tied and hung on the rack by the Yamen.

Hearing this voice, Hong Guangshou on the side raised his head, You are...

Woo... Your Majesty... The bloody man's eyes lit up when he saw Hong Guangshou, and then he was full of panic and self-blame, Your Majesty...you are still alive...you actually...ah! What have you done!

Bah! Who is the emperor? The clerk at the side yelled angrily, holding a plate of salt water in his hand, with a splash, he watched the bloody man splash it. A gang of mobs, a gang of bandits, actually claiming to be emperor.

Ahhh—— the blood man screamed in pain.

Hey, Your Majesty? Give it back to your Majesty! Hey! Look at me whipping you to death! A short and fat yamen yelled, picked up the sharp whip in his hand and watched Hong Guangshou whipping non-stop.

Ah— Hong Guangshou was already used to being beaten, and he was already silent.

But just now when the blood man smelled a word, it was like a ball that had been stretched for so long and suddenly deflated. After a start, he couldn't control it, and cried out in pain.

Yeah - don't hit me anymore, woo hoo... The blood man screamed in pain and collapsed. He obviously tried everything, so why did he still hit him. If he hasn't recruited yet, he won't recruit with Hong Guangshou as his spiritual support beside Hong Guangshou. But now, it's too late!

Everything has been recruited, and if he hit him again, he couldn't stand it anymore, and collapsed instantly: It's the man in the portrait who called us, that's him...

Shut up! Hong Guangshou roared angrily.

The bloody man had already been beaten incoherently: It's Zhenxihou... Zhenxihou...it's him...ahhh——

Hong Guangshou's eyes widened: You bastard, keep talking nonsense... I'll kill you...

You're still killing me! You can't save yourself, so give me back! The short fat yamen spat again, and then smoked desperately.

Enough...cough cough... A cough sounded, but it was Yu Hui who was beside him, Everything... everything is over, let's have a good time!

You, you bastard... Hong Guangshou roared, Yu Hui...it's you, it's you who said to help me...it's you, it's all you...how can we admit it.

Yes... give it a good time! Give it a good time! the blood man yelled, I recruited them all, and it was Zhen Xihou who instructed us.

Bah, how dare you slander Marquis Zhenxi. The short, fat Yacha let out a snarl.

But the bloody man was just talking nonsense about these two sentences, and Hong Guangshou laughed again: All right, all you bastards, I will kill your grandpa.

In the observation room on the side, Cai Jie and others could clearly see the situation inside through the hole in the wall.

Look, it's Marquis Zhenxi. Yao Yangcheng's face was full of coldness.

Zhang Zan frowned deeply: How should I put it, eunuch, the lower official has something to say.

Master Zhang, what do you have to say? Although you are a relative of Marquis Zhenxi, Master Yao is still at odds with Marquis Zhenxi. Let's all call here, say what you have, and neutralize it. Cai Jun laughed.

Yao Yangcheng's old face froze for a moment, and he only heheed twice.

Zhang Zan said: How did the blood man know that Zhenxihou ordered Shi Xiaoquan? At that time, Xiao Shiquan was doing business with a mask on his face. In the end, the blood man only gave a portrait, and did not point out that it was Shi Xiaoquan, who was around Zhenxihou. .”

Yao Yangcheng sneered: Because we deliberately lured him into the game just now, so we told him that the masked man was from Zhenxihou, and whipped him for a long time. He already thought so in his heart. So when he came here, his brain was almost tense I couldn't hold it anymore, so I opened my mouth and said Zhenxihou. Although we haven't confirmed whether it was really Zhenxihou's work, we can use this to test Hong Guangshou. Now, look, after a test, it will come out! It's really him.

But Zhang Zan shook his head: Hong Guangshou and Yu Hui are both first-class smart people. We suddenly dragged the blood man to them and whipped them. Aren't they vigilant? They must know that we are testing him, so we deliberately Echoing what you said, saying it was Zhenxihou, the purpose was to frame Zhenxihou. After all, he was the one who took them into prison and ruined their plan.

Fan Zhiming, the censor doctor, was stunned, and nodded: Master Zhang is right. If Hong Guangshou has such a brain, he will come out as soon as he tries it, and he will not be in a bad situation, but it will be a disaster for us. For a long time, even Wu Yiyi, the commander of the Jingwei Battalion, was destroyed by him in the end.

Yao Yangcheng's face darkened, and he sneered: You were tempted when they drank tea and chatted in the palace? These days, they have been tortured, and their spirits are already on the verge of collapse. Now someone has confessed. Their mental and physical They are all tortured, how can they hold on.

Fan Zhiming and Zhang Zan frowned and looked at Eunuch Cai.

Cai Gonggong said: The miscellaneous family will go back and tell the emperor about this matter, and the emperor will decide everything.

Yao Yangcheng, Zhang Zan and the others were startled, and nodded quickly: Elder-in-law is right.

After all, the Marquis of Zhenxi is related to the safety of Daqi, so it is natural for Emperor Zhengxuan to decide in person. If Emperor Zhengxuan was not seriously ill now, he might have to come for trial in person.
