Ge Tongqian was sent to prison, and the fragile balance that had been maintained for more than ten years in the previous dynasty also underwent subtle changes.At night, the Wanjia lights are brightly lit, and the Qihua Palace is also lit with oil lamps, but Ming Wanzhao is very leisurely, and political affairs will not be brought before him, not to mention that now everyone in the court is watching, and he has no time to pay attention to the inner palace.

"Bai Tan." Ming Wanzhao leaned over the desk and held the pen. Even though he still needs to restrain his edge and pretend to be crazy, it is not impossible for him to do anything, "Mo

ink.

However, the voice fell for a while, and there was still no movement behind him.

Ming Wanzhao called out with a more emphatic tone: "Bai Tan."

Bai Tan, who was standing by his side, came back to his senses as if he had woken up. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he knelt down to admit his mistake very neatly, "Is there any slaves?"

crime. "

Ming Wanzhao stared at him while holding the pen, and said in the usual tone, "Grind the ink."

"Yes." Bai Tan stood up obediently, stood beside Ming Wanzhao rubbing ink, his eyes drooping and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ming Wanzhao also didn't know, he put the envelope on the desk after he finished it, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Bai Tan, who are you from?"

Hearing the sound, Bai Tan knelt down in panic, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Ming Wanzhao's phoenix eyes were somewhat inquiring, and he said softly: "You climbed to the front of the imperial court with Anxi, what do you want?"

Bai Tan's temples were dripping with cold sweat. Ever since he knew that the emperor was forbearing, when he played this game of chess behind his back, he didn't dare to guess the Sacred Heart at will. He is like a tiger with a king. It made him even more afraid.

At least what Anxi wants is on the surface, he wants wealth, power, everyone thinks highly of him, and wants to be a real man.

But Ming Wanzhao is different. He seems to be one with the deepest and darkest corner of the palace. He manipulates people's hearts and lays out his plans behind his back, but Bai Tan doesn't know what the emperor wants. He seems to be doing these things step by step, except Other than that, there is nothing else to ask for.

But now, the emperor asked him what he wanted.

They are always testing each other.

In the end, Bai Tan just said in a calm tone: "Return to Your Majesty, this servant wants...to be famous."

"Everyone wants to be famous, and Anxi wants to too, but he's dead." Ming Wanzhao's eyes were a little empty, as if he was looking through the window at a landscape he had never seen in his life. After a long while, he said, "Forget it, you get up." Bar."

He still doesn't know who this Bai Tan really is. He followed Anxi and climbed up to the Emperor's Imperial Palace step by step, but he was always so honest that people couldn't see through him.

Until now, Bai Tan has been in a trance for half a day, only then did Ming Wanzhao have some guesses in his mind.

But... who sent Bai Tan to the palace?

Is it Su Jinhuai, or Xing Ye?

Ge Tongqian has been trembling since he was released from the prison. He is shrewd but not very courageous. What's more, if he falls into the prison, doesn't he fall into the hands of Su Jinhuai's precious disciple Shen Lin?

If he didn't say anything, he might be punished, but if he really said something, how could the Lu family let him go?

Ge Tongqian has been in the officialdom for many years, and has also seen how Lu Zuoxian dealt with those chess pieces in the past. If he is an abandoned piece now, I am afraid that he will be in prison tonight like Kong Bi back then, "killing himself in fear of crime"!

When he was dragged into the torture room, Ge Tongqian fainted from fright before he could do anything.

When he woke up, he was already tied to the wooden frame used for execution, and he almost couldn't lift his breath before passing out.

"Master Ge."

A cold and indifferent voice sounded, and Ge Tongqian felt it was familiar. He raised his eyes and saw a young man in a Confucian gown sitting in front of the desk. He was stunned and his eyes widened.

Su Jingci put down the hot tea in his hand, and nodded politely, "I'm so offended. Now that Mr. Ge is awake, this junior just has a few things to ask."

This doesn't seem like asking for advice. Ge Tongqian was tied up tightly, but he couldn't figure out how it was Su Jingci, an inconspicuous person, sitting here.

Su Jingci is not like Lu Feichi, he has made no achievements since entering the court, barely meritorious, and he doesn't fight or grab it when he sees it.

However, looking at the neatly arranged instruments of torture, Ge Tongqian felt chills in his heart.

Su Jingci didn't care about him, and said to himself: "Master Ge has done a lot of things for Mr. Lu Ge these years, let's talk about it yourself." He smiled gently again, "If Master Ge If you don't want to say it, this junior has his own way to make Mr. Ge speak."

Ge Tongqian was so frightened that the fat on his face trembled slightly. He quickly thought of a countermeasure, and apologized with a smile: "My nephew is serious. If I remember correctly, my nephew should work in the household department. I'm afraid I have no right to intervene." The Ministry of Criminal Affairs case."

"It seems that I don't want to talk about it."

Su Jingci looked up at him with indifference.

Ge Tongqian was sweating like rain from the look in his eyes, secretly thinking that it was not good.

But seeing Su Jingci bent his lips and smiled, he said softly: "Let's do it."

As soon as his voice fell, a small official from the criminal department came forward, one with a delicate pliers-like instrument in his hand, and the other with a not-so-big hammer. Ge Tongqian felt the cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He naturally knew that What is it for.

The former is used to spread the prisoner's lips and teeth, so that the teeth can be broken with a hammer, and then the stumps in the bones can be dug out, which is comparable to the death penalty of pulling tendons and breaking bones!

In an instant, there were hysterical screams from the execution room.

It took a full hour for Ge Tongqian to be let down from the torture rack. The half of his face from the nose down was bloody and bloody, and even his ears were missing. His whole head was like a gourd of blood. not enough.

Su Jingci sorted out the confession, got up and said lightly: "Let's deal with it."

Su Jingci brought Ge Tongqian's confession out of the prison of the Criminal Ministry, and saw Shen Lin waiting outside. He shook the testimony in his hand and smiled.

Said: "Take it."

Shen Lin was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself which of us is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?

"With this alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

Shen Lin pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Teacher and Mr. Xing are still checking the accounts of the account department."

Su Jingci smiled and said softly: "What do you think my father put me in the household department for?"

Shen Lin was startled.

"Let's go, get down to business." Su Jingci walked in front, looking at the dark night, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

After years of forbearance and painstaking planning, success or failure depends on one action!

The curfew has arrived, and the streets and alleys of Yijing, which is bustling during the day, are quiet at the moment, and the Imperial Army in official robes and light armor blows past like the wind. Qi Yanxing led people to find Lu's mansion, and a few people with good lightness skills climbed over the wall and entered The front door opened, and the imperial army entered in a single file.

"You all one by one!" The servant scolded in a panic, "Who dares to act presumptuously in the Lu residence!"

Qi Yanxing kicked the man away, showed his waist badge and cabinet documents, and said loudly: "The imperial army is on business! Unrelated people wait to get out of the way!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, "Search!"

His arrogance really frightened the pampered people in the Lu family. Sheng Yan captured a servant and put a knife across his neck.

"Say, Lu Zuoxian?"

The domestic servant was so frightened that his legs trembled, "My lord, my lord should be...in the study!"

Sheng Yan looked at Qi Yanxing, and after seeing the other party nodding his head, he said harshly, "Lead the way!"

The servant with the knife hanging on his neck, how dare he refuse to follow, tremblingly leading the way.

After hearing the news, Lu Zuoxian and Lu Feichi appeared together.

Lu Feichi scolded with a gloomy face: "Governor Qi, what do you mean?! Did you search the Lu Mansion whenever you want?!"

"With Ge Tongqian's confession as evidence, the cabinet has approved the documents, and please invite Mr. Lu Ge to come with us, so as not to make it difficult for the brothers." Qi Yanxing slammed the spear on the ground in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "If Anyone who violates the order will be killed on the spot!"

"You!" Lu Feichi narrowed his pupils and said in a low voice, "Father."

"Don't be impulsive." Lu Zuoxian pulled back his sleeves and said, as if he was confident, he stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's go this way and lead the way, Governor Qi."

Qi Yanxing turned sideways to get out of the way, and at the moment Lu Zuoxian passed in front of him, he whispered something in a voice that could only be heard by each other.

"Old Lu Ge, the debt has been paid off."

Lu Zuoxian paused, glanced sideways at Qi Yanxing, who was like a gun, and saw the murderous intent in his eyes.

"The old man is waiting."

Qi Yanxing glanced at Lu Feichi coldly, stood where he was, and when his subordinates reported that they hadn't found anything, he didn't bother him and ordered, "Get out!"

Lu's mansion, once a wealthy family's embroidered household, was smashed into a mess. Lu Feichi stood in the courtyard and clenched his fists slightly. He had already guessed that Ge Tongqian was just the beginning, and what Su Jinhuai was really going to deal with was the Lu family, but he did not expect that during the day As soon as Lige Tongqian was released from prison, Qi Yanxing waited for someone to turn Lu's mansion upside down at night!

Do you really think that Mrs. Lu is a soft persimmon?How dare a few forbidden troops be so presumptuous!

Lu Feichi endured it again and again, after a long while, a black-clothed figure sprang out from the corner, the man knelt down and said, "My lord, do you want us to rescue your lord?"

"Don't scare the snakes first." Lu Feichi quickly thought about the current situation, and ordered, "Gather people and horses, enter the city in batches, don't act rashly for the time being."

move. "

"Yes." The man in black answered with his head bowed.

Just at this time, Lu Linxian, who heard the news from outside, returned home in a hurry with the smell of alcohol all over his body. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the mess everywhere, almost couldn't believe it, and rushed to Lu Feichi and asked: "Brother! What's going on?! I heard that the Imperial Army took Dad away? Is it true or not?"

Lu Feichi smelled the strong smell of wine, and saw the crimson blush remaining on his brother's cheeks, and was so angry that he almost laughed out loud, but he really couldn't.

The Lu family has been famous for so long, when did he suffer such humiliation? !

Seeing Lu Linxian couldn't help but have a headache again, he called out in a deep voice, "Take a few people and send Second Young Master to Zhuangzi outside the city!"

Lu Linxian was stunned, he quickly asked: "No, brother, why?"

"The wind in Beijing is tight, you go and hide outside. If you don't hear from me and my father, you must not enter the city!" Lu Feichi said, and urged, "Hurry up."

"Second son, the villain offended you."

The man in black got up and couldn't help but grab Lu Linxian and walked out.

Lu Feichi doesn't really want to see his idiot brother at this moment, the situation in Beijing is changing rapidly, they are completely unprepared, and they are at a disadvantage for the time being, but if Su Jinhuai really wants to tear his face completely, Lu Feichi can't wait for it!

These people should have been removed long ago.
