"It's a fact that you and General Meng have been in private for the past few years. Why are you being stubborn?" Liang Yenian said, "Apology is voluntary, or torture is a trick. Why do you choose the latter? Are you afraid that if you plead guilty, you will be implicated far away? General Meng at Minguan. You can rest assured on this point, if the king of Guangyang really has the intention of rebelling, His Majesty is already old and the crown prince is still young, so he will not break the ground at this time to cut down the feudal clan."

Li Jianbi will not admit the crime of treason. If he wants to admit it, he might as well pack up and leave when he gets the news. Why bother to suffer here with nothing. "I won't admit it..." Li Jianbi said, "If you have the ability to kill me in Dali Prison..."

Liang Yenian was stunned for a while, with a sad expression on his face. "Well, I think Cao Pi once wrote a poem saying: "Cooking beans burns Osmunda japonica, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root. Why is it too urgent to fry each other... I feel the same way about today's situation." He said, "Li My lord, do you think that looking at your current situation makes me feel better, I feel very sad! You and I are officials in the same dynasty, as the Holy One said, we should love each other and do our best for the great propaganda. But what about you, you never entered Shi has been against me since the beginning! What kind of heart do you have! "

Li Jianbi originally planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore him, but after hearing what he said, he still couldn't help laughing.

Liang Yenian said: "I know that you have been staring at me for the past few years and have found many evidences of my corruption. You have worked hard for the past ten years, and you must have achieved fruitful results. A few days ago, I went to your house with people from Jin Yiwei to search, but they didn't. Here. Where did you put those things?"

Li Jianbi glanced at him and said, oh, your corruption evidence... I handed it over to others before I was arrested.Liang Yenian approached, squatted in front of the fence and asked, "Who did you hand it over to?" Li Jianbi said, "Guess...my censor is like two Zhongcheng, three Taiyuan, 24 Provincial Highway, and nearly a hundred supervisors. Yu Shi, Shi Lang, and Zhong Shu, you might as well try them one by one."

Liang Yenian said: "I think it's probably at Mr. Fan's place in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Li Jianbi didn't change his expression, and said, "Who says it's not, go and interrogate him..."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, don't be like this. Take a step back, give me what I want, and I will go to the holy place to intercede for you and save your life." Liang Yenian said, "If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of losing your life." Firewood. Let's all let go, so that we can live on our own."

Li Jianbi laughed softly in his throat, but closed his eyes and ignored him.

Liang Yenian looked at him and sighed: "You have come to the end of your way of being an upright official, so let's take a break. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are under investigation, there will be no disciples. Why don't you understand the great truth left by your ancestors?" What! Look at me, I’m over 60, and I can’t live for a few years. You are only in your twenties. You are a good-looking talent, with a smart brain. It took a few years for Feng Shui to give birth to such a wonderful talent. Why bother to die like me The old man was crushed to death."

Liang Yenian said: "It is not easy for you to collect my criminal evidence, I know. But do you think it is easy for me to catch you? Do you think I know about you and Meng Pingshan? I have been watching you two for seven years! I I have endured for so many years without saying anything, if I hadn't been forced to, would I have hurt you like this?"

Li Jianbi snorted and said, "Master Liang has worked hard..."

Liang Yenian looked at him for a long time, and tried to persuade him one after another, but Li saw Bijing lying there unmoved.He had run out of saliva and had no other choice, and finally asked: "Have you made up your mind not to say yes?"

Li saw Bi Gui lying on the ground without saying a word. "Okay, okay." Liang Yenian said a few good words in succession, explaining that Eunuch Rishang came to interrogate you. If I remember correctly, this person should have a grudge against you. These eunuchs have their own methods of punishing people. Mr. Li, you You are delicate and weak, so you have to bear it carefully.After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Jianbi, and finally turned around and left.

Fan An knelt outside the Jinshen Hall for a whole day, and it rained at night, and the rain washed Fan An's official uniform, soaking his unhealed buttocks, and blood spilled all over the ground. The passing eunuchs saw the puddles Bloody, I can't help but feel my legs go weak.A eunuch said: "Master Fan is really powerful. A few days ago, a minister petitioned and couldn't kneel in front of the hall. He was sunburned for half a day. This Lord Fan has been kneeling for so long, why hasn't he collapsed yet?" .

Little did they know that Mr. Fan's appearance as a scholar and his body as a bandit can withstand a lot of tossing, how can ordinary officials compare with it?

But he is human after all... After kneeling for a day and a night, he lost a lot of blood and was about to collapse.Unexpectedly, Feng Xian came out from the hall at this time, approached him and handed him a piece of imperial order, saying: "Your Majesty knows your deep love and friendship, so you are allowed to see Master Li."

Fan An instantly raised his head as if he was recovering blood, stretched out his hand to take the imperial order, and thanked Eunuch Feng repeatedly!He said that he wanted to raise his hands, but he didn't want to kneel down for too long. His movement was in severe pain like broken bones, and he was about to throw himself on the ground with a muffled grunt. Feng Xian quickly grabbed him, and pulled him up with both hands.

"I will let two imperial guards accompany you. Master Li is in the heavy prison of Dali Temple. The Holy Majesty only allows you to visit for a moment. You should leave as soon as you finish watching." He pulled Fan An over, patted his hand and said softly , "Eunuch Shang went there early in the morning, and I'm afraid he must be severely punished. If you can really help Mr. Li, you will sell me Feng Xian."

Fan An's heart trembled when he heard that he was the servant of the great punishment, and he turned around and hurried out of the palace.His buttocks were bandaged when he came, and now the blood had already seeped out and stained his lower body red, and he was dripping with blood from time to time as he walked.The two imperial guards couldn't see it from behind, and said, my lord, you will die if you walk to Dali Temple like this, why don't we go and get you a carriage first.

"I don't have time for a carriage." Fan An turned his head to look at the two of them, and said that you should carry me on your back!

The two imperial guards looked at each other for a while, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty said that Mr. Fan is a strange thing, it really is.But Master Shangshu said, what can two or more fifth-rank guards do, so he can only go forward and carry him away.

Dali Temple is located in the southwest of the imperial city, along the south avenue of the imperial city for three miles, Fan An urged to walk all the way for half an hour, and finally arrived.He entered the Dali Temple by imperial order and went straight to the heavy prison without hindrance.Unexpectedly, at the prison entrance, they ran into Shang Zhongxi who had just come out of the prison.

Shang Zhongxi stopped when he saw him from a distance, and said, isn't this Mr. Fan?I heard that you have just put aside your position as Shangshu and are recuperating in the mansion, why did you come to this place?

Fan An came down and said that I want to see Mr. Li, please take me there quickly.Shang Zhongxi pulled him back and said, "What are you seeing? I've finished the interrogation. Isn't this all recruiting?"

Fan An was taken aback for a moment: "Recruited?!"

"Yes, I've recruited." Shang Zhongxi said, don't stare so wide, is there any problem?I've even finished the case record and sorted out the confession, and I'm about to hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial and stamping.

Shang Zhongxi said: "As long as you have no problem with the reconsideration by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Jianbi's charges will be confirmed."

Fan An steadied his feet and almost collapsed. He tied his tongue and said, "You...you show me." He took the case file in one hand and opened it. , the accompanying confession has drawn a blood charge.Looking at the thumbprint, Fan An felt dizzy and his body trembled violently.

Shang Zhongxi stretched out his hand and pulled the case file, saying that this thing is being sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice anyway, and you can read it after Xu Yong stamps it.When Fan An heard this, he quickly held the case file in his hand, saying that although I have temporarily suspended criminal duties, I am still the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so just hand over your things to me.

Shang Zhongxi was stunned for a moment, and said, sir, do you know what crime it is to privately destroy files?Fan An said: Father-in-law, don't worry, I know better than you.I dare not damage this confession file in the slightest.As he spoke, he rolled up the case file, put his hands in his cuffs, and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Li, then turned around and went straight to the prison."

Before Fan An saw Li Jianbi, he thought, why is this person so confused, he admitted such a big crime so easily, and the prisoner himself drew the charge, how can the criminal department reverse the case?Until he walked into the Guansuo dungeon and looked up into the torture room, his mind went blank for a moment, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

Li Jianbi was hung by the wall, the clothes on his body were bloody from the whip, and his head was bowed, like a boneless corpse.

Master Li... Are you dead already... Fan An subconsciously covered his heart, and subconsciously felt that there would be blood gushing from his chest.He saw that the two prison guards in the torture room were removing the instruments of torture from Li Jianbi's body, taking Li Jianbi's legs out of the clamp sticks, the blood was winding, dripping from the toes, and had already spread in a circle on the ground .

"Master Li...?" Fan An stepped into the room and called out.The two prison guards in the room were untying the hemp rope on Li Jianbi's wrist. Hearing the sound, they turned their faces and were stunned for a moment. After reacting, they untied Li Jianbi's rope more quickly.

The rope was released, and Li Jianbi's body lost its support. Fan An jumped as if awakened, and hurried forward to hug Li Jianbi.Li Jianbi collapsed in his arms, breathing lightly as if nothing.

This bloody body hurt Fan An's eyes, he hugged Li Jianbi's body tightly, and called out: "Master Li...Master Li..." But his Master Li didn't respond at all, Fan An's heart ached. He closed his eyes tightly and still couldn't stop the tears from falling. This was the first time his heart ached so deeply.
