Riding the black master, he walked at the front of the team, followed by a hundred policemen from the Yushitai, escorting Wu Qijian's family and dozens of officials from the Ministry of Punishment. Both the Minister of Punishment and Wu Qijian were knocked unconscious.

Carried by horses.

A group of nearly two hundred people swaggered through the market and returned to the Yushitai in a grand manner.

The passers-by along the way had never seen such a huge formation before, and they were all surprised and confused. They all saw it when Yushitai led his troops to the south, and they also saw when the Minister of Punishment led his troops to go south in a hurry. How could it take Yushitai so long?

Taiwan arrested officials from the Ministry of Justice. Not only did they arrest people, but there were also many large boxes on the carriage behind them. Whose house was being ransacked?

After Wu Zhuangyuan's horse riding parade before, he was able to deal with the crowds and gazes of passers-by again. Although he had done something that caused a stir in the government and the public, his mood was still relatively calm, because he had the bottom of his heart and knew that things were not going to happen.

It will get out of hand. .??.

Different from the calmness of Yushitai, Yushitai's captain and other police officers were extremely excited. Before taking office, Yushitai had the least status among the three law divisions. Most of the people in Chang'an only knew Dali.

The Temple and the Ministry of Punishment did not know about the Yushitai, and regardless of whether he would be dismissed from office and sent to the army, at least at this moment the Yushitai was very majestic. As an official of the Yushitai, everyone had never been so majestic.

The captain and others who had been beaten earlier no longer felt embarrassed now, because not only did they dare to beat him, but they also dared to beat him, even the Minister of Punishment, which showed that they dared to do violence no matter where they were, not just in their own den.

Since Wu Qijian and his family were with him, the team moved very slowly, and it took nearly half an hour to get back to the Yushitai.

As soon as I arrived at the Yushitai, I saw two familiar figures appearing on the street to the east. I looked closely and saw that they were brother and sister Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo.

Seeing the two people walking in a hurry, he hurriedly got off his horse and hurried to greet them. When they came near, he immediately bowed his head and bowed respectfully, "No..."

"Nothing else, what are you doing?" Zhang Shan interrupted angrily.

Hearing this, he frowned in confusion. When Zhang Mo saw this, he hurriedly pulled him to the side of the road, "Why did you arrest the officials of the Ministry of Justice?"

"They took bribes and perverted the law..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shan interrupted him again, "Are you talking to us in an official tone? Earlier today in the court, they objected to your appointment as the imperial censor. Is this the case?"

"Uncle, how did you know?" he wondered.

Zhang Shan did not answer the question, but smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What good can you say? Even if you are willing to avenge yourself, you still have to sit on your butt. Even if the new official takes office, you can't burn it randomly. You can't even be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

If you dare to take it, then

It’s the Liubu Hall official of the third rank, oh, I’m so angry, please let me go quickly.”

Only then did he suddenly realize, "Uncle, are you and uncle here to intercede?"

"Don't be nagging, just tell me whether you want to let me go or not?" Zhang Shan was really anxious.

"Let it go, let it go," he nodded repeatedly, "but you have to let me know who asked you to come."

Zhang Mo on the side said, "Do you still remember that when you were staying at Baoqing Inn, I sent someone to deliver you a box of snacks?"

"That's what happened. The innkeeper said it was sent by Mr. Gao's servant." At this point, he suddenly realized, "Isn't that Mr. Gao the senior servant of the province?"

"It's him. Master Gao has always had a good relationship with us at Longhu Mountain," Zhang Mo said. "A few days ago, we went to congratulate his mother on her birthday. Earlier today, in the court hall, did he try to

Against all opinions, I recommend you with all my strength?"

Hearing this, he frowned. This tall man was really good at giving favors. Without Yang Fugong raising his hand to give instructions, this old guy wouldn't have spoken for him. According to Zhang Mo, this old guy gave him the favor again.

It was given to Longhushan, which made him feel very awkward.

Zhang Mo added, "We were originally discussing matters with our colleagues from the Shangqing Dynasty. Master Gao sent someone to inform us of the matter and asked us to come forward to speak to you. I hope you can show mercy and let him go. The Wen Shangde you captured belongs to him."

Disciple."

"Is Wen Shangde the Minister of Justice?" he asked casually.

Zhang Shan laughed angrily, "You have captured everyone, and you still don't know their names?"

Laughing awkwardly.

"Okay, don't wait any longer and release the person as soon as possible." Zhang Mo urged.

"Okay." nodded.

"Okay, let's go. We'll do things more safely in the future, and don't get carried away and act recklessly," Zhang Shan said.

"Okay, I remember it, uncle, come in and sit for a while." Invited.

"There are too many people, so we won't go there," Zhang Shan said. "I heard that you also beat up Wen Shangshu. Remember to apologize to him. It's really nonsense."

Seeing that he frowned and curled his lips, Zhang Mo knew that he was unwilling, so he persuaded him softly, "You have captured the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he can't bear it on his face. Listen to me, apologize in public, and get off the stairs with him.

Lest he hold grudges and take revenge."

"Okay," he nodded in agreement, but he was not angry in his heart and murmured in a low voice, "This Wen Shangde must be a corrupt official. You arrived in time. If you arrived late, he was tortured. I can punish him for any corruption and perversion of the law."

He asked."

"You still want to torture a third-grade official?" Zhang Shan glared.

When Zhang Mo saw this, he hurriedly responded, "Okay, stop complaining, go and let them go quickly, a group of comrades are still waiting for us, let's go first."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two of them left in a hurry without waiting any longer.

Watching the two of them leave, he turned around and returned.

The political situation of the imperial court was more complicated than he imagined. He did not expect that Gao Shizhong would have friendship with Longhushan. This person was obviously a member of the eunuch party. Longhushan was too close to this person, and he was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor in the future.

Disgust and fear.

Thinking of the emperor's secret test last night, my heart became heavier. The emperor had tested him last night on how he would stand if there was a conflict with the Ni family and Longhu Mountain. Now it seems that the emperor's test last night was not without purpose. Your Majesty

It is possible that he knew that Longhushan had a personal relationship with Gao Shizhong.

This shows that although the emperor trusted Longhu Shan, he did not fully trust him. After all, Longhushan had a personal relationship with Gao Shizhong, and Gao Shizhong was a member of the eunuch party.

But even after he figured out the reason, he couldn't do anything. He could only pray secretly, hoping that the emperor and Longhushan would never turn against each other.

Wen Shangde had already woken up and was lying on the ground groaning. Because he had been beaten before, he turned back when he saw him, his face was pale with fright, and he was shaking like chaff.

"Give them back their weapons and let them go," he said to the captain leading the troops, and then he said to Wen Shangde, "Sir Wen, there was a misunderstanding. My uncle asked me to apologize to you."

After hearing the soft words, Wen Shangde regained his official authority in an instant, stood up on the ground, and glared angrily, "What you said is easy. You are avenging private revenge and are so bold. I will never give up."

Seeing that the other party was pushing the envelope, he raised his eyebrows and glared, "I didn't want to let you go. Master Gao invited my uncle to intercede with you. If you dare to be nagging again, I will arrest you and give you all the torture tools."

Come on, take out all the dirt in your stomach."

Hearing the words, Wen Shangde was afraid. He did things regardless of rules. He had no doubt that he could be punished. Even though he was full of anger, he did not dare to continue complaining. He could only shout loudly and order the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to send Wu Qijian's family back.

.

"You can leave, but Wu Qijian's family can't leave. I will torture him. If I don't find out some secrets and find some evidence against you, you will definitely go to court.

, defamation and slander." He said loudly,

Wen Shangde was from the imperial examination and from the military examination. When he met a scholar, he could not defeat a soldier. He had no choice but to get into the sedan chair, urge the bearers to get up and return, and then cursed at his subordinates from the sedan chair.

The official was timid and incompetent, and did not protect his master at the critical moment.

After letting Wen Shangde go, he immediately urged everyone to take Wu Qijian's family members into prison, and then carried Wu Qijian into the torture chamber.

The torture chamber at Yushitai seemed to have not been used for some days. It was covered with thick dust, and the various torture instruments hanging on the walls were also rusty.

He didn't know these instruments of torture, but the cell leader did. Seeing him looking at him curiously, he stepped forward to explain. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop Wu Qijian. He first ordered someone to pour cold water on Wu Qijian to wake him up, and then called the cell leader and ordered him to wake up.

Introduce yourself to the uses of various torture devices on the wall.

Wu Qijian was a civil servant. He had never seen such a scene before. Hearing the introduction from the cell leader, his face turned pale with fear. In fact, he knew all these torture instruments, but he didn't expect that one day they would be used on him.

I just wanted to scare him, but I didn't want to actually torture him. I listened to the prison leader introducing the brazier and soldering iron, and ordered people to light a fire to burn charcoal and heat the soldering iron.

In the face of torture, few people can stand up, and Wu Qijian is no exception. Seeing the charcoal fire burning and the soldering iron getting redder and redder, he was frightened and hurriedly apologized and begged for mercy.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he began to interrogate himself. Wu Qijian was a corrupt official. He could not do such things as collaborating with the enemy and treason, and conspiring to rebel. He did not give in, but instead interrogated him about how the Ministry of Punishment had embezzled money and perverted the law.

The cell was not far from the execution room. Hearing the cries of his wife, children, and children, Wu Qijian collapsed. This man was a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. After the accident, the Minister of Punishment personally brought people over to rescue him. This means that this person is a confidant of the Minister of Punishment. He knows the secret.

There are quite a few.

No matter how fast we tried, we didn't have time to finish the trial. It didn't take long for someone to report that someone had come to see Gao Shizhong with his famous assassin.

Guessing why the visitor came, he did not leave the execution room, but ordered someone to bring in the person who wanted to see him.

The person who came was the high-ranking housekeeper. When he came in, Wu Qijian was signing the confession.

When a visitor enters the torture chamber, he salutes respectfully, then gives his name and explains his intention.

When the person explained his purpose, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the person. He guessed right that this person was sent by the High Attendant to fish for someone.
