Song Zi has been a man for two lifetimes, this is the second time he has been imprisoned, the last time seems to be yesterday.

He went to the sky prison before, which was mainly used to detain officials, as well as princes and nobles.This time, the bustard and brothel steward who were arrested in this case entered the dungeon outside the Miyagi City, which is the prison under the jurisdiction of the Trial Division.Yesterday he was still a person squatting in the sky prison, but today he has become a trial judge. Song Zi has a sense of time and space dislocation as Feng Shui turns.

No matter how absurd he felt in his heart, for the first trial, Song Zi still kept his waist straight, his right hand resting on the sword at his waist, and followed Ling Yi closely.

The environment of this prison cell is much worse than the one he stayed in yesterday. After all, the sky prison usually doesn’t close people very much. The ground is relatively dry, but the underground of the trial department is very humid. Song Zi even saw growths growing in the corners. Clusters of gray-black mushrooms.

It may be that too many people were arrested at once, and the prison was full of prisoners. After walking not far, the cells near the door were full of heads.Seeing these people from the interrogation department come in, a lot of people in the prison cells became restless, and rushed to the railing to shout for injustice: "My lord, I am wronged!"

"What's the noise!" The cell boss who was in charge of guarding the prisoners impatiently flicked his whip in the air, forcibly suppressing the noisy prisoners with force.There are a few detainees here who are still dressed brightly, and haven't changed into dirty and torn prison uniforms. Looking at their clothes, they should be the old bustards and stewards of the brothel who were just arrested today.

Speaking of trial, Song Zi did not stay longer in these outer cells, but continued to go inside. During this period, three colleagues from the interrogation department were named by Ling Yi: "You guys, you are in charge of interrogating these two prison cells. One cell, one trial separately."

"Yes!" The three trial division chiefs stood at attention.

"Song Xiaoqi, come with me."

Song Zi glanced at these people, hurriedly quickened his pace, and continued to walk towards the darker interior. As he walked, he could clearly feel that the air became more dull and humid. The campfire was covered with a hood, and there was still a small The animals scurry around.There are traces of dragging all over the ground, and there are large black stains on the earthy brown ground, which are the dried blood dripping from the prisoner.

Gradually, the surroundings became quiet again, and the voices of the outside prisoners also disappeared.Song Zi pricked up his ears and could even hear the sound of flowing water.They walked around a corner, and suddenly a man who looked like a lunatic pounced on him.Song Zi didn't pay attention, and was taken aback by this man with disheveled hair who appeared out of nowhere, put his right hand on the scabbard, and the sharp sword came out of the scabbard immediately.But in the next second, he put the sword back into the scabbard again, because the guy who made the sudden attack howled for a long time, he couldn't pounce at all.

Song Zi took a closer look, and saw that this man's hands and feet were wearing round metal chains. The black chains were stained with rust, and they felt heavy just by looking at them.

The opponent's eyes were red, and he beat the iron cell frantically: "Ling Yi, you are the emperor's running dog, you must die!"

When Song Zi heard the voice, he looked over curiously, wanting to see what this daring prisoner looked like.But the other party's hair was loose, covering most of his face, and his face was so thin that he looked like a crazy homeless man.

The prisoner's voice was as hoarse and ugly as a broken gong. Seeing someone looking over, he tightly grasped the railing from the water prison, passed through the lute chain and swung it loudly.Song Zi didn't notice him before because the prisoner's lower body was soaked in the muddy sewage, blending in with the dim environment.If you look closely, you will find that the position below the waist and abdomen of this person has been soaked in water, and it looks very swollen.

In the next second, the barbed iron rod in the jailer's hand hit the man's fingers tightly on the railing: "Shut up!"

Ling Yi didn't pay attention to the man's swear words. After all, it was the other party who was imprisoned in the water prison, and it was himself who stood on the shore and watched coldly.

It was not enough to scold Ling Yi, this man also scolded the tyrant.

When he heard this, Ling Yi finally changed his expression: "How long has he been disrespecting His Majesty?"

The jailer replied cautiously: "It's been like this for half a month." Afraid that Ling Yi would blame him for negligence, the man hurriedly said, "The villain has taught him every time, but he is really tough."

Ling Yi asked: "What did you find out?"

The jailer's expression was embarrassing: "No, he cursed every time, because he was disrespectful to His Majesty, so we had to gag him. After the torture, this guy passed out from the pain."

Ling Yi wrote lightly: "Since nothing comes out of the interrogation, the next time you hear a slanderous sentence from him, just pull out his tongue."

"Ling Yi, you vicious mad dog!"

This scolding was completely harmless to Ling Yi, he admitted that he was a vicious and hypocritical villain.

After saying this, the prisoners in the water prison did not continue to scold the current emperor like before, but sank into the water with a thud, not daring to mention Sima Yan's name again.He was still afraid that Ling Yi would pull out his tongue immediately, making his life worse than death.For this sake, he would rather have a good time, but Ling Yi, a vicious mad dog, will only continue to torture him for a long time.

The prison was quiet again, Ling Yi turned his face sideways, and forced the corners of his lips to Song Zi who was on the side: "Song Xiaoqi, follow up."

Song Zi shivered for a moment, but without saying a word, he just silently followed with his long legs.

After entering the torture room, there are blood-stained instruments of torture all over the khaki brick wall, such as barbed whips, maces with thick arms, and all kinds of torture tools. Prisoners under torture.

Ling Yi observed Song Zi's expression and said, "Are you scared?"

Song Zi nodded, then shook his head again: "Actually, it's okay." He paused, and boldly made a suggestion, "If the director doesn't want to laugh, you don't have to force yourself."

The vast majority of people who were arrested by the criminal justice department committed crimes. Minor crimes such as stealing chickens and dogs are under the jurisdiction of the government office. When he was in prison, he was mentally prepared to face heinous criminals. This is a prison, not a hotel, so it's only normal that the environment is poor.

On the other hand, Ling Yi, although the other party is very beautiful, the fierce aura on his body completely suppressed his beauty. After stepping into the prison, this special aura on Ling Yi's body was enhanced by the environment buff, making him look extraordinarily sinister Furious.

Just now, the other party licked his lips at him, and his superficial smile was really creepy. Song Zi was not on guard in his heart, and was directly defeated by the smile of his immediate boss.

Ling Yi's smile froze on his face. Song Xiaoqi was not as timid as he expected. He was not a soft-footed shrimp who would be frightened when he entered the dungeon. Still as His Majesty's subordinate, he should be happy.

After all, even if people in the whole world are not worthy of His Majesty in his heart, His Majesty still prefers a smart and brave person than a bad one.He just couldn't be happy when he heard what Song Xiaoqi said just now.Even he can scare this person, what about His Majesty?How did Song Xiaoqi and His Majesty become loving lovers sweetly.

Thinking of His Majesty's majesty, and looking at the boy's only handsome face, Ling Yi couldn't imagine the scene of the two getting along at all.But His Majesty had ordered him to never reveal his true identity to the person in front of him.If there is a day when the two of them can be honest, Sima Yan should tell his lover himself, no one else needs to make his own decisions.

Ling Yi hooked his long legs and sat down on the chair in the execution room: "Do you know who was the one who uttered wild words in that water prison just now?"

Song Zi shook his head: "I don't know." How could he know something that wasn't written in the book.

Ling Yi mocked: "He is the former regent."

Song Zi had heard of the name of Prince Regent. After all, he had a powerful Zuo Xiang father. Even though he avoided the imperial examination and became an official, it didn't mean he didn't know the situation in the court.

Today, Shengshangxu is twenty-six years old and ascended the throne at the age of 16. The queen mother listens to the government behind the curtain and takes charge of the government.When the regent was there, the holy majesty was very diligent and came to court every day. As a result, shortly after the emperor took the crown, the queen mother died suddenly in the palace, and the regent also died of illness.

Without the jurisdiction of the regent and queen mother, the emperor's violent nature no longer restrains himself, and he completely lets himself go. Not only is he not as diligent as before, but he often goes crazy, and he doesn't listen to anyone's advice. After two years, he even killed The original three auxiliary ministers.

Sima Yan was not a villain, a fool who was far away from loyal ministers, but a complete tyrant, because villains and loyal ministers would be killed mercilessly if they offended the tyrant.

In the past, people in the palace loved to go to the emperor, but serving the emperor in this dynasty has become a very difficult job.Since the Son of Heaven came to power, Beijing officials are not even as comfortable as local officials.After all, the local officials are high and the emperor is far away, so as long as you do a good job on the surface, you won't be punished for losing your head.

Because of this matter, his Zuo Xiang father would occasionally miss the former God of War, the regent who died young.In the eyes of everyone in the world, the Regent is already a dead man through and through. Who would have thought that the other party was not dead at all, but locked in the prison of the Criminal Division.

To say something that Ling Yi might not be willing to listen to, he actually admired the way that person looked at each other before, in his heart.If it was him, and he was in this environment for a long time, but he was not executed, he would have died long ago.

But this is just pure admiration for the other party's strong survival ability, there is no other meaning.After knowing that the other party used to be the regent, he suddenly realized that it was probably because he was unwilling to die.

Not to mention, after knowing that the prisoner was the regent, he felt that the Zuo Xiang family in the book was relatively lucky. The emperor gave Zuo Xiang a face, and directly sent him a bowl of beheaded rice. He died without any torture. up.That person has been tossed like this, and he can still be so energetic, the desire to survive is too strong.

Ling Yi continued: "He is not only the regent, but also the queen mother's adulterer."

Song Zi's lips uncontrollably changed from == to a capital O because of this shocking news. Is this kind of royal secrets something he can listen to, and will he be silenced by Ling Yi after hearing it!

He subconsciously covered his ears and made a gesture of closing his mouth, indicating that he hadn't heard anything and would never share the news.

"What I can know, you can naturally know. The regent is not dead. It is not a big secret to officials above the third rank in this dynasty."

Song Zi slowly put his hand down, he has never been an official, don't lie to him.Anyway, after hearing everything, Ling Yi really wanted to kill him, and he couldn't escape for the time being.

Ling Yi said: "I'm telling you this, just to tell you that whoever your Majesty wants to die, the King of Hades can't keep this person until the fifth watch. A useless person who can figure it out."

The corners of Ling Yi's lips curled up, and he said maliciously: "Look at his face, have you noticed that although he is unkempt, he is white and beardless? His Majesty helped him back then and wiped out his evil roots. Even if he has old subordinates , who else in the world will follow a eunuch to rebel."

The current emperor is indeed crazy and ruthless, and he is not merciful at all.When Song Zi heard about it, he originally thought that Ling Yi wanted to say that the Son of Heaven was a poor little boy who was bullied and whose mother was raped by thieves. The shadow of his childhood was too great, so he rebounded from the bottom, so that he should not have prejudice against the Son of Heaven.Now Song Zi realized that he was overthinking everything, and the emperor didn't need him to be pitiful.

After Ling Yi said all this, he saw Song Zi's pitiful expression, and finally he was a little satisfied. He beat this bold newcomer: "I said so much, just to tell you that Your Majesty is the most honorable man in the world. No matter who you are, don't try to humiliate him. Since you have entered the Criminal Division, you can work for His Majesty with peace of mind and don't think about betrayal, otherwise your end will definitely not be better than the one in the water prison. "

After all, Ling Yi said: "You are not needed here, you go to Geng Qina, and deal with the backlog of files in the past few days, read more cases, don't think of people too simply, newcomers don't be too pushy, you want There is still a long way to go to learn.”

Song Zi replied with a numb face: "Yes, I will work hard."

When sorting out the file, he couldn't help asking Geng Qi: "Brother Geng, did you also go to the dungeon when you entered the Criminal Division on the first day?"

For some reason, he always felt that the words Ling Yi said were strange, as if they meant something, as if they were implying something to him.

The latter nodded: "We entered the dungeon and tried the case by ourselves. Don't look at the way everyone is used to now. Back then, the old three and the fourth vomited. You are still a newcomer. You are a newcomer once, and you are familiar with it twice. Just once."

"The one in the water prison?" He hesitated to speak, hinting with his eyes frantically.

"That person, isn't he the former regent, a traitor and traitor. He refused to delegate power back then, but our Majesty is the orthodox."

This incident did not become such a big deal because it involved some filthy and messy harem matters. The queen dowager, who was not young but extremely beautiful, was pregnant by the regent. The late emperor was seriously ill, and it was impossible to share the same bed with the queen dowager. , because he was cuckolded, he was pissed to death by the regent.The reason why the regent did not seize power immediately was also because his reputation was unfair. After all, the former emperor was a wise emperor, and most people supported orthodoxy.

"It would hurt the face of the royal family to spread the news, but His Majesty is not happy about what he did to make him die in vain." So the regent died in the eyes of everyone, but he was still imprisoned here and continued to suffer.

The current emperor is a man who will take revenge. The regent made him suffer for more than two years, and the emperor will redouble his revenge. The current regent has been imprisoned in the dungeon for eight years.

Contrary to what Song Zi thought, Geng Qi was very disdainful of the regent: "This man wants to live more than anyone else, and he still refuses to die after suffering for so long. "

Song Zi finally felt relieved. The fact that the regent did not die was actually an open secret to many people. It turned out that what Ling Yi said was true. Taking him to visit the dungeon was probably to impress the newcomer, so that the newcomer would not know the importance .

He continued to sort out the files, looked at them, and Song Zi's face changed. The regent insisted on surviving, and he must still want to make a comeback and rebel.The opponent used to be a military general galloping on the battlefield, and he refused to delegate power back then, so he must have been an ambitious person.

It was described in the book that there was a very bloody purge in the imperial court, and the husband chosen by the heroine succeeded in standing in line.Now that he has become a person in the book, if he thinks about it carefully, this purge is very likely to be related to the regent.

Maybe the cheap father of his life just got on the wrong boat and got mixed up with the regent. Otherwise, how could a good civil servant get involved in the rebellion.His father has many students, but everyone is a literati who can only hold a pen. Without soldiers, it is impossible to fight wars by mouth.

The more Song Zi thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but he didn't even know if his father had already boarded this broken ship that was destined to capsize in the future. His father had never told him the unwritten secret that the regent was not dead!

If this was the case, he would not only prevent his sister from entering the palace, but also shake his father's muddleheaded mind.Seeing such a shrewd person on weekdays, why can't he even figure things out?No matter how powerful the regent was before, God did not stand by him.Otherwise, the luck will be better, and the regent king will be able to successfully usurp the throne by making the empress dowager's belly bigger.But the other party not only failed to kill the current day, but also sent himself to the dungeon.Can you have a future if you hang out with this kind of person? !

The job of the dossier is actually not difficult for Song Zi. After finishing the tasks assigned to him, he took time to go back to Qilue Bookstore, intending to change his status as the son of Zuo Xiang. .As a member of the Criminal Division, it was easy for him to inquire about the movements of the officials, but when he finally entered the mansion, his father rushed over with a whip in his hand: "Catch him, son of a bitch! If you dare to come back, let me beat you!" I won't kill you!"

Unfortunately, during this period of time, Song Zi's life has been quite ups and downs. I always feel that many things have happened. I forgot for a while that it was only a few days since he came out of the closet. Now he is in the state of running away from home. His anger should be brewing to its peak, and it hasn't started to calm down yet.Back at this time, nothing happened to Zuo Xiangfu, but something might happen to him.

"Mother, sister! Daddy said he was going to kill me!" Song Zi's running posture was super flexible, and he shouted for rescuers while running. He specifically inquired when he left. He didn't forget to arrange for the little beggar to secretly report his mother's safety, so as not to worry the family.

The mother showed her face, and she looked really good.Song Zi glanced at it, and let go of his heart a little bit: "Father, only a kind father can be filial to a son. You are always a son like me, and you will have to rely on me to throw pots in the future. Don't be angry. If you are angry, you will ruin your health." Who does such a big Xiangfu rely on..."

Zuo Mingcheng was out of breath, and he was so tired that he swung the whip vigorously: "You...you little bastard...just wait for me."

"Husband, the child has finally come back, so you can't talk well." This is the mother who is uncomfortable but more protective of the child.

That's right, father, you are so fierce that you scared my younger brother. "This is Song Jing, the eldest sister who is like a mother.

Relying on the two wonderful women in the family, Song Zi put oil on the soles of his feet and quickly slipped away.It's not that he can't beat his father, it's just that he respects the old and loves the young, Song Zi is what the great filial son of the age said.Anyway, the guy in the prison didn't look like he could run out right away, he'd better wait for his father to figure it out before coming back.

Although Song Zi ran away, he still missed his family after all, and spent most of the next half day absent-minded.

In the well-kept courtyard, Ah Yan took a sip of the tomato and egg soup, and put down the spoon with a delicate expression: "Xiao Qi, why is the soup you made today so sweet?"

"Is it sweet?" Song Zi picked up a spoon and took a sip, "Ah, I turned salt into sugar."

He picked up another chopstick of eggplant, which had too much salt in it, making it bitter.

"These dishes are too unpalatable. You can eat some mung bean cakes first, and I will make it again."

Ah Yan grabbed Song Zi's hand, and the wide sleeves slipped from his snow-white arm. His fingers gently hooked his lover's hand, and his eyes shone brightly: "You seem to have something on your mind, who is it with you?" Did you say something?"

Song Zi shook his head, hesitated to speak: "It's nothing."

Ah Yan asked him, "Is there any special case in the Interrogation Division? Even I can't tell you."

"Kyoto is quite peaceful now." Most of the people in the brothel have been arrested. Recently, those who sell their daughters have also restrained themselves. The Judgment Division, as the name suggests, only handles major criminal cases, and ordinary small cases are not handled by them. Tube.

Sima Yan understood that Ling Yi didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he took Song Zi's hand and pressed the other's palm to his ear: "Then what's on your mind that you can't tell me, I might not be able to help you What are you busy with, but if you tell me, maybe I can think of a way for you."

He doesn't have mind-reading skills, so he can't figure out what his lover is thinking. Of course, he can only ask when he encounters such a situation. To be honest, Sima Yan doesn't like people hiding things from him, but this is his lover, not his enemy. Of course he can't. Intimidate and lure with the tone of treating criminals.

Ah Yan is so caring, Song Zi sat down and said, "That's right, some time ago, my family said that I am old and not young, and they want to arrange a marriage for me."

The gentle aura around Ah Yan was swept away, and his fingers were clenched a little, Song Zi hurriedly comforted him, "But it's okay, I refuse!"

He sighed: "I told them that I already have a sweetheart, and the sweetheart is a man. As I said, there will only be you in this life, and I will never make a mistake. I can swear to God, if I violate I swear, I will fight... um..."

Sima Yan looked happy, and Su Bai's hand covered Song Zi's thin lips in time: "Well, I trust Xiao Qi, don't say such unlucky words in the future."

He knew how good Xiao Qi was to him, and there was no man in the world who could be as good as his Xiao Qi.

Song Zi spread his hands and said, "So I wanted to tell my father some things, but he didn't listen at all, which made me a little distressed."

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs, and every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures.His Zuo Xiang father didn't even know how much he had paid for this family. He had sacrificed so much, at least he had the right to choose his happiness for the rest of his life.

Song Zi couldn't hold back and sighed: "Actually, the child born to my sister is also of the Song family's blood, so it can still carry on the family line of the old Song family. And if you get married and have children, do you still have to take a concubine if you meet an infertile girl?" ? The family doesn’t have a throne to inherit, and my stubborn father just can’t think about it.”

Sima Yan, who really had a family to inherit the throne, blurted out: "Isn't your father dead?"

"No." Song Zi replied subconsciously, wait... "Ah Yan, who told you that my father is dead."
