What rules? I didn't understand, Gu Dachun had already shouted: "Small town, Lord Qianhu is here, why don't you come over and wait for me?"
Someone responded quickly, ran to me, bowed deeply, and said: "Sir Qianhu, the seats over there have been arranged. Please come over. Tea and snacks are also prepared!"
This small town felt familiar to me, and then I remembered that when I first came here, Yue Ziqian arranged for him to accompany me. I had not taken a closer look at him. Today, it seems that he is thin and dry, but his eyes are clever, and he is actually related to Xiang Chong. Somewhat similar.
I couldn't help but smile and said: "We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite!" Xiao Chengzi smiled apologetically and said: "You are a master of a thousand households, and I should serve you accordingly." Gu Dachun smiled and said: "This guy has always seen me The wind controls the rudder. Normally, in front of me, a man of one hundred households is long and one is short. Now that I see you coming, I immediately change my tone. You are a villain!" I heard his words almost all in ridicule, and that little town boy But he said seriously: "What Master Baihu said is that villains are just errand boys. They meet many officials on weekdays. How dare they be disrespectful? You are my food and clothing parents. How can a parent not love his children?" . So what a villain should do is to be filial to his elders. If he were your brother, I would have to use a hundred cautions!" The elder brother Xiao Chengzi talks about is naturally Dongchangchang Gonggu Dayong. But his tone made us speechless. Gu Dachun waved his hand and said: "You are so glib, hurry up and serve tea!"
The sun was warm, we sat on the stage, and a dozen school captains stood majestically under the stage on guard. Xiao Chengzi offered the tea diligently. As soon as he opened the lid of the tea, the aroma was fragrant and he said, "This is the finest Mao Jian, specially prepared for you." I took a sip and my mouth was filled with memories. Just as he was about to like it, Gu Dachun said with a smile: "Isn't there a Dragon Well? Why don't you bring it?" Xiao Chengzi smiled awkwardly and said: "Yesterday when Father-in-law Dongchang came, I gave him a drink!"
"Which father-in-law?" Gu Dachun asked, "I am in charge of the prison, how come I don't know about this?" I am also very surprised. I was resting in the Zhenfu Division last night, how come I don't know about this?
Xiao Chengzi said: "It's Eunuch Zhang Zhong, and Master Murong is also traveling with him. Firstly, they came to visit Eunuch Dongchang Lin, and secondly, they came to escort the prisoners to the prison! You two were not here last night, so I didn't tell you!"
Gu Dachun was stunned and said: "Mr. Murong is back? Who was sent in?" You must know that Murong Zhao is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, second only to Shi Yi, and has been in the Jinyi Guard for many years, and his status is many times higher than Liao Jianzhong.
Xiao Chengzi looked around and whispered: "Wang Shouren!"
Gu Dachun didn't know him, so he looked at me and I whispered: "A director of the Ministry of War! His father is the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing!" Gu Dachun said "Oh" and said: "Yes, Commander Shi mentioned this person just now , he must be the person that Eunuch Liu especially hates!"
I asked, "Master Murong, do you have any explanation?"
Xiao Chengzi kept listening and said hurriedly: "Mr. Murong asked Haosheng to take care of this person. You are not allowed to increase the punishment without permission!"
We couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. Gu Dachun said: "Master Murong is a person trusted by the father-in-law. How can he be treated like this when he is hated by the father-in-law?"
I remembered what Liao Jianzhong had mentioned about Mou Bin before. Although Liu Jin wanted his life, Liao Jianzhong asked me to give him some mercy, thinking that Murong Zhao must be the same as Liao Jianzhong, and Wang Shouren must be a good official!
So, he stood up and said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. I think someone will tell us that since we have come to the prison, we should follow Commander Shi's wishes to gather these officials together and start screening!"
Gu Dachun nodded and quickly told Xiao Chengzi to prepare. Just as Xiao Chengzi was about to leave, my heart moved and I said, "Xiao Chengzi, is this the name you want?" Xiao Chengzi said hurriedly: "To tell you the truth, my surname is Hao, and he is famous in Chengdu. Because of his short stature, everyone calls him Shunzui. His name is Xiao Chengzi." I nodded, seeing that his clothes were very ordinary, and said, "In what year did you join the Imperial Guard? What is your position?" Xiao Chengzi said hurriedly: "In the winter of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, you took over your father's position, and you still hold it now. A small flag!"
I smiled and said: "Do a good job, you are more familiar with this place than us, and you will definitely be rewarded in the future!" "Thank you, Master Qianhu, I will make arrangements now!" Xiao Chengzi saluted again, turned around and left.
Gu Dachun suddenly smiled at me and said, "Master Qianhu, you don't know something. This little town is an imposter!"
"Impersonator?" I looked at Gu Dachun in surprise. Gu Dachun smiled mysteriously and said: "Emperor Taizu stipulated that the Imperial Guards can only be hereditary, and most of them are the children of meritorious officials. Now that peace has passed, these people have long lost the ability of their ancestors. Those who work in our profession are exposed to wind and sun. Ordinary things don't matter to us. How can those officials and officials stand it? They don't dare to violate the court regulations, so they find someone to do the job for them. Xiao Chengzi is one of them. He went to Jinyiwei under the identity of others, and within a few years, he did other things. Now, when the time comes, change it back!”
I was dumbfounded and asked again: "Don't the commanders and adults know about these things?" Gu Dachun chuckled and said: "If a dog is lost in the house of a relative of the emperor in the capital, the Jinyi Guards will know all about it. How can a living person not know?! It’s just that he turned a blind eye, not to mention that without the approval of adults, who would dare to do such a thing!"
This is indeed true. Not only in the capital, we have informants all over the Ming Dynasty, even in the vassal countries. I suddenly remembered that book, which contained a list of fanzi from all over the country. I regretted not taking a closer look. Then I thought about it, knowing so much, I was asking for trouble.
I stopped asking questions. Gu Dachun turned his head knowingly. Xiao Chengzi was shouting below. A large number of captains entered the courtyard and lined up the officials. How could the officials listen? The captains didn't care too much and pushed and shoved them. , causing a commotion.
I frowned. When Gu Dachun saw it, he stood up and said: "Listen below, you are all officials of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally you should know the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Today, Zhang Ying and Zhang Qianhu are here to check your crimes." , if you can honestly explain, then everyone will be happy and stubborn. This is the fate of this person! Someone, pull him up!"
Not long after, four captains dragged a man out of the prison. The man looked like a dead man, with disheveled hair, blood all over his body, and tattered clothes.
This man was dragged out of the cell. His legs left two long blood marks on the ground. When I saw it, I couldn't bear it. Who is this man? What grave crime did you commit that led to this? In the past, Yue Ziqian taught me the power of the imperial staff. It can be said that the person's legs were broken without any blood. This shows how big a person he offended. I heard that Jinyiwei has thirty-six sets of torture instruments, which can make people unable to live or die. I once had an idea. If I have a chance, I must understand it from the beginning. At first, Emperor Taizu trusted the Jin Yiwei to the point where he was superior to the Dali Temple in the Ministry of Punishment. Later, he suddenly realized that he abolished the Jin Yiwei and destroyed all the instruments of torture in front of all the officials to show that he was repaying the punishment to the country. Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong restored it again, and even added the East Factory, so that in the future there would be a West Factory, with far greater power than the Ministry of Punishment. I really don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?
But Gu Dachun still said: "You should have heard about how capable Jin Yiwei is. Every move you make is in our eyes. Therefore, those who refuse to confess will end up like this!"
"Do you know who he is? Qintian Supervisor Yang Hong!" Gu Dachun raised his voice, and there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. I was also shocked. That thin middle-aged man, who was so arrogant, was now tortured to the point where he looked inhuman. , a ghost is not like a ghost, and what is even more terrifying is that his wife and children are all in prison. Gu Dachun said proudly: "He is known as proud, everyone knows it, but here, I will break your thigh bone first, and see Where are you still proud of?"
Someone below shouted loudly: "We are the imperial officials. Even if we are guilty, we are in accordance with the "Da Ming Law". You are indiscriminate and punish Mr. Yang. This is a blatant violation of the "Da Ming Law" of Emperor Taizu. Is there anything else?" Wang Fa?" I heard the sound and went over, but I didn't know which one it was. Gu Dachun also hurried to look, but couldn't tell which one it was. And some officials began to echo, and there was a buzz for a while.
Gu Dachun was a little embarrassed and said loudly: "You are toasting instead of eating and being punished with wine. You are talking about the "Da Ming Law" here. Isn't it a three-year-old child who hasn't woken up and is talking in his sleep! Whoever said it just now, if you have the courage to say it, just Have the guts to admit it!”
