Liang Chen System [Rebirth]

The torture room was brightly lit, and the coals were burning bright red with irons on them.The setting sun fell on the prisoner's face through the eaves window, and a prison officer was holding a whip and whipped it loudly.He said viciously: "Say, those people are your accomplices."

Sun Hancheng sat at the table, casually flipping through the files.Suddenly, a lazy voice came, "Why are you so simple and rude every time I see you interrogating prisoners, can you be more humane?"

Sun Hancheng squinted and said with a smile: "The prisoner doesn't cry out for pain, why do you feel distressed? Besides, when have I ever tried torture?"

At that time, the prison official put down his whip, cupped his fists and said, "Master Sun, the prisoner has passed out."

Pei Ziqi chuckled, "Look, the prisoner has passed out."

Sun Hancheng sealed the dossier, "Wash him awake, you continue the interrogation." After speaking, he said to Pei Ziqi: "The prisoner is unconscious, and it is time for them to interrogate. Let's get down to business."

Pei Ziqi shook his head, and walked to the cell with Sun Hancheng.He said: "You talk about us every time, what's the result? Every time I try the prisoner, you watch from the sidelines. Are you the minister of the Ministry of punishment, or am I the minister of the Ministry of punishment?"

Sun Hancheng smiled: "You said just now that my method of interrogating prisoners is wrong. Didn't I take the opportunity to learn from you? In order to wait for you to interrogate, I can treat him like an uncle."

Pei Ziqi laughed angrily: "Aren't you the Sun Banxian who claims to know the world's affairs? I need to interrogate some other criminals, and you will come out after doing some calculations."

Sun Hancheng paused, and immediately changed the subject: "Did you see Du Chun?"

"You hinted through the principal that the place of detention is so obvious. I don't see him making sense?" Pei Ziqi said again: "However, your people are unreliable, and you will get away with a few words."

"If it's not easy to fool around, I can send him to receive you." Sun Hancheng said as a matter of course: "Secretizing the imperial court is a serious crime. I can't afford this crime, and you can't afford it either. You have to find a fool to be a middleman." .”

"You will think of me." Pei Ziqi said with a smile: "However, next time, I'd better find someone who is smarter. A fool is stupid in front of anyone. If His Majesty really asks, he won't be able to handle it."

Sun Hancheng was taken aback, "I was negligent."

The two walked side by side, chatting sentence by sentence.The places he passed became more and more secluded, and even the jailer had never seen him.The lights flickered, and the dark corridor was illuminated by circles of light, and the figures of the two were gradually elongated.When he reached the end of the corridor, Sun Hancheng pushed open the cell door, and with a 'creak' sound, the dejected figure moved.

This cell is spacious and bright, the floor is set with blue bricks, clean and smooth.There is a small pavilion window on the top of the wall, and the sparse sunset can just fall on the window.At one end of the cell was a small bed covered with silk quilts and jade pillows; at the other end was a square table with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, teacups and teapots.

A middle-aged man sat beside him.He was wearing a pure white prison uniform, and his hair was disheveled, hanging down his cheeks.His eyes were tightly closed, his pale lips drooped slightly, and his back was slightly curved.

Pei Ziqi walked in and said to Sun Hancheng: "You really didn't lie to me. Mr. Yuan just vomited a liter or two of blood two days ago, and his body needs recuperation. It is indeed the most suitable arrangement here. "

Yuan Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Master Pei, if you come here to sneer, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. This old man has long put life and death aside, and he will never vomit blood and die just because of a few words."

Pei Ziqi sat beside Yuan Ming, "Your Majesty Yuan, you still don't know me well enough. I'm a person who never throws stones into trouble, and I don't know how to give charcoal in a timely manner." He smiled again: "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the case. You are so angry, how can I explain to His Majesty?"

Yuan Ming sneered: "Then I don't know why Mr. Pei is here today?"

Pei Ziqi smiled, "Deal, let's make a deal."

"Master Pei, please go ahead." Yuan Ming closed his eyes, "Although I am not as good as your lord to speculate on the Sacred Heart, but I understand. This time, your majesty will not let me go lightly. Even the lord who is deeply trusted by your majesty cannot Guarantee my life."

"I didn't say I would guarantee your life." Pei Ziqi paused, "Your Majesty's life belongs to me, and I can't decide. However, we can trade something else, such as your family." He added: "Although His Majesty said he wanted to deal with you, he didn't say how to deal with your family..."

Yuan Ming interrupted him and said viciously, "Pei Ziqi, you are despicable and shameless!"

"It's not the first time I've heard this today." Pei Ziqi sighed, "I just can't understand why you grown-ups have read poetry and books so much that you always have such a few words of swearing, I'm tired of hearing it." Yes. If you use a fresh word, maybe you can negotiate a good price for you."

Yuan Ming's face changed drastically, "Pei Ziqi, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Pei Ziqi chuckled, "Master Yuan, don't you understand? Even if you don't want to trade, you have to trade. It's not up to you to choose. The key is how much your chips are, and whether you can let us trade happily."

Yuan Ming stood up against the table, "Pei Ziqi, you just said that you won't make trouble!"

"Yes, I said I wouldn't add insult to injury, but I will take advantage of others' danger." Pei Ziqi poured a cup of tea, "Master Yuan, calm down. I have come all the way to see you in the sky prison. It's kind of kind. It's said that you will repay your favor, the more sincere you are in the transaction, the more kindness I will naturally have."

Yuan Ming's expression darkened, and he slumped on the bench weakly. "Master Pei, I can't show my sincerity, so let's go." He begged again: "I hope that your lord can have some conscience and deal with my wife, children, and mother lightly."

"There is a saying that you don't shed tears when you see the coffin. This sentence is quite suitable for Mr. Yuan." Pei Ziqi held up the teacup, "I didn't find out the evidence that you robbed the women, it was given by the First Prince himself."

Yuan Ming moved his ears, but he still looked helpless.He turned his eyes away, as if he couldn't hear or see Pei Ziqi's words and deeds.

Pei Ziqi smiled, "I know you don't believe me. So before I met you, I went to see Mr. Du." Then, he took out a letter from his pocket, "You should know about Mr. Du. He also knows that he belongs to the First Prince." He handed the letter in front of Yuan Ming, "Let's see what he wrote."

Yuan Ming's gaze came alive, and he looked at Pei Ziqi hesitantly, but he didn't take the letter for a long time.Although Du Chun is a sanctimonious hypocrite, he treats himself leniently and treats others severely, and uses a magnifying glass to catch the faults of others.Therefore, there is no lack of faults in his eyes, and there is no need to use low-level methods of fabricating facts to ruin his righteousness.

Pei Ziqi sneered, "What? Afraid that the letter is fake? Open it and see if it's true or not? Don't worry, I haven't read the contents of the letter."

Yuan Ming opened the letter and scanned it slowly, the expression on his face changed from dubious to convinced.Suddenly, the calm face gradually froze, as if sealed by thousands of years of ice, so gloomy and frightening.His pupils protruded suddenly, as if they had split from the eye sockets, oozing blood and deep red.There was a strange 'beep' in his throat, like a baby crying, but also like an angry scream.

After reading the letter, he laughed wildly, and tears welled up in his eyes.These tears ran across the face like blood beads, blurring the entire face.He tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the air.Fragments scattered like snowflakes, embellishing the blue bricks with sparse white.He didn't seem to be relieved, he stood up and stomped on the fragments again.

Pei Ziqi watched quietly, expressionless the whole time.The reality may be cruel, it makes people crazy and desperate, but it also makes people grow rapidly.As long as you accept it and see it clearly, in fact everything is just as it is.It seems that some people are always calm and calm, because they never have a heart.

After laughing, Yuan Ming squatted down.He hugged his knees, buried his head in his arms, and cried bitterly.One after another, heart-piercing and grief-stricken.He cried for a long time, venting all his emotions like a child.

Pei Ziqi lowered his eyes and waited patiently.The calmness after the madness is even more terrifying.Because that kind of calm decision can often destroy the whole world.Sun Hancheng stood outside the cell, silently looking at Pei Ziqi.The eyes flickered, and it seemed that a touch of distress had flashed by, and it seemed to be just an illusion.

Yuan Ming got up slowly after the setting sun on the pavilion window faded.He regained his composure and composure, as if he was still the powerful Master Shangshu.He bowed his head and wrote: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your kindness."

"Your Majesty Yuan is being polite, I should do it." Pei Ziqi said again: "The eldest prince is wearing a deceptive fox skin, no wonder your lord will be tricked."

Yuan Ming smiled wryly and said: "If I could wake up sooner, why would I end up where I am today." He added: "Thanks to my lord for reminding me, otherwise I would be a fool on Huangquan Road. It's also because I am so determined to the eldest prince." ..." After finishing speaking, he quickly knelt on the ground, "Master Pei, I have a request for my humble position."

"Factional disputes do not offend family members." Pei Ziqi stood up, "Your family members will be safe."

Yuan Ming shook his head, "It's not about this. Although your lord looks treacherous, he is actually kind-hearted. I can trust you as a man." He said again: "I beg your lord to pull the eldest prince off the horse. If so, I will die in peace."

Pei Ziqi was stunned, and said with some surprise: "Master Yuan has been with the First Prince for many years, so don't you have a handle?"

Yuan Ming said in embarrassment: "To be honest, I really have no excuses in my hands. The eldest prince is cautious, and he is more wary of me. Over the years, I have also suffered from finding no excuses..."

Pei Ziqi looked at him speechlessly, as if to say: There are such stupid people in this world, no wonder they were abducted and sold by that idiot the First Prince.

Yuan Ming hurriedly said again: "However, I have another big secret that I would like to tell my lord."

Pei Ziqi paused: "What secret?"

"Chen Yonghan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, sells imperial examination questions."
