The first work of the imperial prison

Prison does not exist to give prisoners a break, only interrogation, interrogation, and occasionally, when two prisoners meet, if it happens to be the one who has a grudge, they will fight, whoever is stronger will bully others, and whoever is not good will Accept it, no reason, no one cares.

This time, Ye Baiting obviously did it on purpose, and he boldly dodged it. Not only did he dodge, but he countered it, and he countered it very handsomely.

On the way back, he got loud whistles and continuous applause from the 'neighborhood neighbors'.

"Little brother is awesome!"

"One more! Kill Scarface!"

"What do you kill? Little brother is doing the right thing. Killing now is interesting. When someone comes back, it will be interesting to kill the daughter first!"

...The excitement, if not knowing that he is in the imperial prison, Ye Baiting would have thought that he had crossed the border and walked on the red carpet.

The neighbor on the right clicked, and the handle of the fan tapped on the palm of his hand: "Quiet like a virgin, moves like a rabbit, swims like a dragon, with a jade face and wind, my little friend has beautiful skills."

"It's easy to say," Ye Baiting sat down slowly, "but brother Zi'an——no, Mr. Xiang, you've learned to be rich, and it's so easy to boast, isn't it a bit perfunctory?"

Xiang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and didn't notice when the fan fell off: "How do you know who I am?"

Ye Baiting lowered his eyes: "Not only do I know that your name is Xiang Zi'an, and that you are the master of Shaoxing, but I also know that you have just left the teacher not long ago, and you have not made any achievements, yet you were implicated in a major case by the master's family and entered this prison. It is really a pity."

The cell on the right was silent for a long time, Xiang Zi'an did not speak.

He didn't ask Ye Baiting how he knew, our neighbors, how Ye Baiting hooked up with Shen Jiang, how he became a blockbuster, how did the autopsy decompose one, two, three, how did he have a hot water bath with rice porridge... He knew very well that this person can peel cocoons, through all kinds of information. It is not surprising to guess who he is.

Ye Baiting: "Let's make a bet, Master Xiang, do you dare?"

Xiang Zi'an picked up the fan, and it was rare that he didn't smile, with a calm expression: "What are you betting on?"

Ye Baiting moved his head close to the wood of the prison fence, and said something in a low voice.

Xiang Zi'an was surprised: "You have such a big tone!"

Ye Baiting smiled: "Just tell me if you dare?"

Holding the handle of the fan, Xiang Zi'an also smiled: "Why don't you dare? I'll bet with you!"

The two people here were talking, and the neighbor on the left was unwilling to be lonely, and yelled: "Why don't you call me a bet?" He glared at Ye Baiting, "Why didn't you say my name? Are you cowardly? Is it because I am too powerful? You Can't guess!"

Xiang Zi'an rolled his eyes: "Come on, the big thief Qin Gentiana, withdrawn by nature, comes and goes without a trace, specializes in business at night, but often walks by the river, how can he not wet his shoes? Such a coincidence that he stole it." Mr. Li's family, Mr. Li also happened to be ransacked by Jin Yiwei that night. You, a gentleman on the beam, can't tell the truth, so you were sent to prison as an accomplice? With this little history of heroes, you still need people Pay attention to the analysis?"

Gentiana:……

Ye Baiting: "Everyone has bad luck, but Brother Qin's condolences will change."

Qin Gentiana: ...you also know?

"This...you can't blame me. Who knows that this group of Jinyiwei are night owls. The more energetic they are at night, the others go home to sleep with their wives after they are on duty. Jinyiwei has no daughter-in-law, and all his mothers work overtime at night. I stole one." Is it easy?" He was not reconciled, nor convinced, "How can this official errand collide with a thief? They are not authentic! They deserve to be unable to get a daughter-in-law!"

……

The afterglow of the setting sun is soft and gentle, and it seems to be able to soften everything, even the always solemn and orderly official office of the Ministry of Punishment is a bit more lively.

"Going to Yimenglou for a drink tonight?"

"I can't go, Yimenglou is too expensive, and it's the end of this month, so I'm empty."

"It's better, Brother Wang. The officer next to me said that he saw your carriage on the street, and a woman from the inner courtyard came down to buy wine. My sister-in-law must be waiting for you at home!"

It was the time when the office was scattered, and the smiles on the faces of the people were soothing, the movements of packing up the paperwork were brisk, and the chatting and greetings were full of joy.

Someone passed by the side hall and saw the newly appointed right servant Ying He Yiming sitting upright, with a pile of documents on the desk, and the brush in his hand was not put down. Should I say hello before leaving, or should I show my loyalty, look up to the leader, go over and get a new cup of tea, and accompany me to work overtime?

When he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, the gate of the official office was suddenly kicked open, and a group of brocade guards in flying fish suits rushed in, like flowing water, fighting in two rows, with precise positioning and well-trained training.

A person in the middle came slowly under the guard of the crowd, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and a side face stacked like mountains. He held a heroic figure, and his voice was as frosty as frost: "Where is Shen Deyou, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment?"

This person... Don't be too familiar with the people present, it's not who Qiu Xunqing is!

Look at this posture, are you here to find someone?Or arrest?How about saying that Jin Yiwei is disgusting, he is too incompetent, he can't come to the door at any time, and he only picks other people to go home after leaving the office...

Cao Yanzheng, the chief officer of the Ministry of Punishment, just got into his carriage, got off again, returned to the main courtyard, and cupped his hands at Qiu Yiqing: "Why did Commander Qiu come here? If you are looking for someone to break up with the Yamen for a drink, you can make a call, why bother?" Make such a big commotion?"

Qiu Yiqing glanced at the hourglass in front of the corridor: "The leak is for others, Mr. Cao is so leisurely."

Cao Yanzheng said with luck: "Commander Qiu is being polite. If it wasn't for Your Excellency who 'worked harder' and transferred Liang Wei and Chang Hongwen's murder cases one after another, how could I be so idle! Speaking of which, I just know the destiny Young and healthy, I have never thought of begging for bones, and my heart has never been extinguished for a moment to share the worries of the Holy Majesty. The commander here is willing to hand over the case and give the next official a chance?"

Qiu Yiqing pressed the embroidered spring knife, and said slowly: "You said that the "capable ones work harder", it can be seen that there are not many capable people in your criminal department, and a million may not be able to lift a branch, so instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources , it’s better for me to do it for you, and the national treasury doesn’t have to pay so much for food.”

"you--"

"Where is Shen Deyou, the left servant!" Qiu Yiqing's long and narrow eyes parted, revealing a murderous intent, "Master Cao delays any longer, but it is a deliberate cover-up."

Cao Yan's face turned serious: "Why do you cover up the word, Mr. Shen has committed a crime!"

"Exactly!"

Qiu Xunqing threw out an account book: "Being a corrupt official, accepting bribes, meddling in food transportation, making arrangements for one's own selfish desires, resulting in unfair punishments and injustice——you made such a big mistake in the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Cao stopped it!" This envoy, do you want to say that we are united in one mind, we share good and bad together?"

Cao Yanzheng didn't dare to stop him, his eyelids trembled in shock: "This...how could..."

Qiu Yiqing swiped two fingers in the air: "Search!"

When Jin Yiwei came over, he surrounded the official office. Don't look for someone too quickly, he detained the left servant Shen Deyou in two or three strokes, and took him to the main courtyard.

The servant on the right, He Yiming, followed out. He didn't seem to know what to do. He picked up the account book on the ground and looked at it, then closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Looking at Shen Deyou, who was pinned to the ground with an earthy expression, he couldn't bear it: "They are all officials ordered by the imperial court, please show me face by the commander, don't be so humiliated."

The Ministry of Punishment immediately cast approving glances.

Yes, no matter whether Shen Deyou is involved in human affairs or not, how disappointed and regretful I am, how much I feel that he has to be taught a lesson. This is also the territory of the Ministry of Punishment. It is too embarrassing to be beaten by Jin Yiwei. At least try to save face!

You Shilang has been in the limelight for the past two months because of "righteous killing of relatives", everyone praised him, everyone in the world is willing to give face, he dared to stand up, it's very good!From now on, my father will support you!

"I regard the left as the most respected, and Shen Deyou has been sent to prison. You are not the one who is cheap?" Qiu Xunqing raised the tip of his narrow eyes, and spoke slowly, "It's not like you haven't done similar things before, why are you acting so hypocritical?"

Everyone gasped.

That's right, this person backhandedly "destroy relatives with righteousness" and ruined the family of his adopted father who raised him, and his adopted brother was imprisoned to die... Maybe he is dead now. They count on such a person with questionable personal morality, right? A little too sloppy?

He Yiming was in a hurry to go there, it's none of his business, why can't he be carried in a sedan chair, just for everyone's convenience?He never expected that the atmosphere would turn into such an embarrassing situation. There was no benefit to rounding up the field, but it caused a whole lot of commotion!

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it wisely, Qiu Xunqing had already left when he raised his head... Did he fly, he couldn't even see his back!

He Yiming's tongue was bitter, and he pretended not to see the avoiding eyes of his colleagues, and walked to Cao Yanzheng's side: "My lord, this Jinyiwei is so arrogant, I'm afraid..."

Cao Yanzheng closed his eyes: "This is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger... His hatred is arrogant, well-founded, and the evidence is conclusive. He has the ability, that is, he can solve the case. He even dared to challenge the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which proved his strength... Who will be in the future?" How dare you attack him with this point? I am afraid that there will be fewer impeachment papers before the emperor's case."

Seeing the last twilight in the sky, Cao Yanzheng turned around and said solemnly: "In the future, you must be cautious about the cases of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and you must not be caught again!"

He Yiming cupped his hands and bowed his head: "Yes."

……

When Qiu Yiqing came out from the Ministry of Punishment, the deputy general Zheng Ying stepped forward and reported in a low voice what happened in the imperial prison.

"Prisoners fighting? Killed?"

"It's not... the beating men showed mercy."

"Jail guards are not effective in guarding, deliberately provoking trouble, and those who do not respond in time will be halved. As for the prisoners—" Qiu Yiqing has a deep meaning, "They can't get out of the prison, and they are beaten to death." Not enough, no one to blame."

Added another strange rumor to the imperial edict, and young master Jiao added another record, with outstanding demeanor, it was spread inside and outside, and different people reacted differently, either they were interested, or they were afraid to be wary, or they didn't dare to provoke them. As for Zuo, Shen Jiang, who was busy running outside alone, didn't know anything, and was still bitterly asking the confession to draw pictures of the scene. His legs were running thin. By the time he knew, it had been a long time, and the news was not new. up.

The prison was on duty until the shift was changed, and the guards came and went, chatting dirty words one after another, the ground was very quiet, and before the mice started to move, a man came to Ye Baiting's prison door.

"Come out and go to the morgue to see the corpse!"

His face was very raw, Ye Baiting didn't know this person.
