The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin looked at Huang Qin and Tu Guan in the audience.

Dry and old, kneeling in the hall.

These two people are already octogenarians and cannot be tortured.

"Bindfold their eyes and tie their feet."

Mou Bin was a little confused, but Yan Chengjin waved to him and they went to the back hall of the Yamen together.

This is where the presiding judge rests.

Yan Chengjin said: "I have returned to the palace, and I have wronged Lord Mou. I will go under the yamen case in a while, and I will remove the yamen servants. When the two of them confess, Lord Mou will come out and ask them to sign."

"So... they will confess?" Mou Bin was a little confused.

This is Wang Shouren's method of interrogating prisoners after he has mastered his spiritual knowledge.

They went under the yamen case and did not speak for a long time. The prisoners thought that no one was in the yamen hall and colluded with each other to confess. Wang Shouren caught him.

Yan Chengjin just borrowed it.

It contains a lot of psychology, and it has the same goal as the fatigue interrogation of later generations.

Huang Qin and the local officials didn't know that they would be taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they would have to confess to each other in order to be confident of being exempted.

Yan Chengjin said: "Master Mou, please don't fall asleep."

After a while,

Not knowing what this boy was going to do, Mou Bin cursed in his heart and quietly slipped under the imperial desk.

Yan Chengjin sat in the hall again, with Mou Bin next to his knees. This terrible posture...

"Someone, please loosen the veil from their eyes."

After Huang Qin and the local officials loosened their black cloths, Yan Chengjin stood up and said, "I have important matters to come to the palace. I will review them when I come back. You can go back and rest."

Huang Qin and the local officials watched blankly as Yan Chengjin walked by, and the government officials also retreated.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one in the government hall.

this? ? ?

Huang Qin and the native official looked at each other.

An hour passed, and the two of them felt a little numb on their knees, but their legs were tied up, like mermaids, and they couldn't get up.

"Who's here? My legs are sore. Please help me change my posture." Huang Qin shouted at the top of his lungs.

Looking around, there was not a single person in sight.

Mou Bin complained endlessly, Yan Chengjin appeared in his mind, and he wanted to beat him up.

No wonder this guy doesn't want to get involved, and I'm so upset.

It was dark under the curtain, and the time could not be seen.

Another hour passed, and it was almost noon.

Huang Qin and Tu Guan still didn't speak. They changed their positions, leaned forward and fell to the ground.

At noon, no one came to interrogate him.

Huang Qin and the local official squinted for a while. They had not eaten for most of the day and were so hungry that they felt uncomfortable all over.

Until dusk,

Huang Qin and the local official were finally sure that the dog official had forgotten them.

"A ten-year-old case in Chenghua cannot be found out even if Bao Xiren is alive. Beizhen Fusi may use torture. If he is really sentenced to prison, the Jinyi Guards will be helpless if you don't tell them."

Huang Qin reminded the local official that he was afraid that this southern barbarian had never seen the world and would kill him if he saw the instruments of torture.

Mou Bin was drowsy, but when he heard the sound outside, he suddenly cheered up.

Just listen, the sound from outside comes again.

The local official said with palpitations: "Then the censor left us here, is he not trying to starve us to death?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Huang Qin lowered his voice: "He doesn't dare. Your Majesty treats people leniently, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't dare to use lynching."

"When can we return to Guangxi?"

"If you want to send a prison sentence, nine times out of ten you will die in prison."

The local official was covered in cold sweat and looked at Huang Qin: "Fate, will you die in prison?"

"How much money did you receive back then?! If Han Yong overturned the verdict, and you and I slandered the important officials of the imperial court, according to the law, it would be enough to be sent to the frontier.

If you don’t want to die on the road, don’t even think about killing yourself.

No matter which yamen you go to, they all say they don’t recognize me, and I don’t recognize you either. "

Huang Qin ordered in a low voice.

Mou Bin's expression froze. He really couldn't understand why the two of them would talk about their past.

There was no punishment,

An old case of more than 20 years was solved by Yan Chengjin.

He was horrified and crawled out from under the government office.

"You two don't have to pretend not to recognize me. I heard you just now. Please sign and sign."

Huang Qin and the local officials were frightened and in a daze. They saw the government office table above moved and a figure came out.

"You, shameless!"

"When things happen, we must respond to opportunities, and soldiers never tire of deceit!"

Mou Bin shouted loudly, and the Yamen servants and Jin Yiwei rushed in from outside the Yamen.

When the lawsuit was presented to the two of them, Huang Qin bit it to death: "I won't sign it, what can you do to me?"

Mou Bin said with a cold face: "The imperial edict has its own means of dealing with ruffians. If you sign, your majesty may receive a lighter sentence."

…

Yan Chengjin is preparing to leave the palace.

Passing by the Meridian Gate Guangting, I saw Han Wen standing in front of the Moon Cave. I stared at him when I saw him.

"The student has met Master Yan and heard that Jin Yiwei has returned to Beijing."

From time to time, Han Wen inquired about the Imperial Academy.

When my mother learned of His Majesty's decree to re-investigate the case, she cried for several days, hoping that her father would be vindicated.

On the ancestral graves, there is even smoke.

"It's getting dark. Send me back home first."

"..." Korean.

Early the next morning, Fengtian Hall,

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting on the throne with a complex expression, holding the lawsuit sent back by Mou Bin in his hand.

A case that had lasted for more than 20 years was solved by Mou Bin like this.

"The late emperor was deceived by his treachery and made Han Yong become an official. Today I will clear his name and give him the posthumous title of Xiang Yi. What do you think?"

Liu Jian nodded slightly, "As it should be!"

The officials had no objection.

Even so, I still feel guilty.

What Emperor Hongzhi hated the most was such false accusations, which corrupted the Ming Dynasty and made the court a mess.

"Huang Qin and the local officials involved in the case were all exiled to the northwest to build the Great Wall. Yan Chengjin was rewarded with 500 taels of silver for solving the case."

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly. It seemed that His Majesty was concerned about this matter.

Otherwise, he would not be so generous.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment: "I will confer Han Wen as a hundred households of Jinwuwei. What do you think?"

My mother was brought back to the palace by Han Yong. My country has a great relationship with Han Yong.

When he thought of this, he wanted to recruit Han Wen to serve in the palace.

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian looked at each other. Is His Majesty doting too much?

"Your Majesty, Han Wen is a student of the Imperial Academy. If he can be selected as a scholar through the imperial examination and serve the court, wouldn't it be better?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "I heard that he is roughly proficient in writing, is that true?"

"Yes, I think it is better to let him enter the palace as Jinyiwei. He has no merits and achievements, and he is conferred as a hundred households, which may cause gossip." Yan Chengjin said.

"I think you want him to go to Yan's house to monitor him?" Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

Yan Chengjin was ashamed, he wanted to replace Ye Zhun.

"Appoint Han Wen as the Jinwu Guard and serve in the palace."

...

Outside the palace, in the deserted courtyard of the west city.

Han's mother sat on the straw mat and cried to the spirit tablet: "Your Majesty is wise and has wronged the master. The master is in the underworld and has sent me a dream..."

Han Wen supported his mother, sighed repeatedly, and bowed to Yan Chengjin.

"This is the order of His Majesty. I will not read it. Send me back to the house first, and you can see it on the way."

Yan Chengjin sat in the sedan chair. The five hundred taels of silver awarded by His Majesty had not yet arrived.

Tomorrow, he will go to the palace and ask His Majesty for it.
