However, Jiang Tian soon discovered that the following trial was just a routine matter. After asking about the details and the situation again, and confirming that the monogram was correct, Murong Wu, the jailor in black, led Jiang Dan to the back of a thick barrier.
And through the hazy barrier and the wooden-framed carved window, it can be seen that there is a simple trial court in front of it, which has been prepared; and there are already people sitting in it. After the man tilted his head slightly and nodded, he turned into a stern voice and said:
"Bring it up!"
Later, under the support of several officers, a prisoner who was covered in blood and flesh, but whose face was deliberately cleaned for easy identification, was slowly dragged forward and began to be interrogated word for word:
"The prisoner in custody, named Chen No. 7, formerly known as Xiao Bailang, is the deputy leader of the fifth group of delinquents..."
In the midst of this commotion, the jailer Murong Wu in black also leaned down and whispered in the ears of Jiang Tian who was a little confused:
"You are here, but you have to see clearly."
"During this period, if anyone looks familiar, feels similar, or has any doubts, you must point it out to me right away. Do you understand?"
"good!"
Jiang Tian's heart moved, but he nodded in agreement and said, "Isn't this the identification of suspects in future generations?" I didn’t expect that ancient people would also play this trick.
On the turret on the other side, several other people were also looking carefully through the window panes. They were divided into the interrogation scene in front and Jiang Tian and others behind the screen fan.
However, in addition to Guo Chongtao, the censor responsible for the case, there was also a green-robed official with a slender body and handsome features. But it was Wei Dongting, the censor of Guancheng who was in charge of the Nancheng film and a former senior at Beijing School.
Beside them, there was another official in a white shirt, who was reading out some newly collected news and information in a low voice; mainly the various daily life and interpersonal relationships surrounding this troublesome figure behind the scenes.
"If I hadn't relied on the teacher's connection, I might not have been able to find everything in a short period of time. The origin of this guy!"
After Wei Dongting listened for a while, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Wait a minute, you said that this guy has a lot of connections with the south, and he was originally registered as a guarantor of the Donghai Society?"
But when he heard somewhere, Guo Chongtao was a little confused and said:
"If that's the case, his complicated relationships and ambiguities can be explained a little bit."
However, Wei Dongting was relieved:
"Isn't this suspicious?"
Guo Chongtao couldn't help but ask:
"Of course there's something fishy about it, but it doesn't matter anymore."
Wei Dongting smiled calmly:
"Over the years, so many people have been sent here from the south; I'm afraid several districts may not be able to accommodate them."
"Not to mention the two major affiliated schools of Beijing, the old academics from the Imperial College and Imperial College, but they all look to these Shu Xiu in the south to support their families and buy property?"
"So at this moment, as long as he is not from the Western Kingdom, everything will be fine."
"In addition, he also has contacts with the Huajian Sect."
The official continued:
"Flower School?"
However, when hearing this name, both Guo Chongtao and Wei Dongting could not help but show some subtle and abnormal expressions; it seemed that they were filled with disgust and helpless taboo.
Because the situation and reputation of this Huajian Sect are really indescribable. Its predecessor can be traced back to the Pinhua Society, an association of enthusiasts active in Chang'an, capital of China, during the Kaiyuan period of Daoism.
But at that time, the painting style of Pinhua Association was relatively normal. He just likes to gather together to criticize the beauties with outstanding appearance both inside and outside Beijing;
Or wandering around the streets and alleys all day long, just to find and discover the beautiful things that can be seen, but not so that you can have a private house to yourself, but out of shared appreciation and appreciation.
Therefore, although they chase and follow her, they will not entangle or embarrass her face to face; instead, they like to sneak up on walls and trees to observe and spy on the real daily postures of beauties, and turn them into paintings for others to appreciate.
Of course, they still have bottom lines and guidelines. That is to say, they only criticize those beautiful women who are waiting for marriage, but basically do not provoke or criticize those married women who are already married.
For example, they once rated the so-called top, middle and bottom thirty-six famous Beijing flowers based on different social levels. The most famous leader among them is undoubtedly Li Yu, the second son of the King of Hanzhong, who is a member of the clan.
At that time, the Emperor Ming felt that due to the deposed crown prince and the invasion of the palace by the two kings Ying and Yao, he felt that the royal family had been in chaos since the beginning of the dynasty. Therefore, he gradually reduced and abolished the East Palace, creating a ten-year-old clan system where clans were concentrated. Wangzhai and Baisunyuan system.
But for clans that are a little further away, they are much more tolerant; being well-nurtured and doing nothing all day long has also created many strange beings, such as Li Yu, the second son of the Wang family in Hanzhong, who behave in eccentric ways.
Therefore, in the early years, even Li Tengkong, the youngest daughter of the Li Linfu family, who created the allusion of "Speaking Honey and Sword Belly" and known as the "Viper Prime Minister", was inevitably on the list;
However, when news of this incident reached the ears of this powerful prime minister, who was always vengeful towards his political opponents and rivals, he smiled at this matter in a rare and tolerant manner, and even thought it was a good talk.
Therefore, even if the two capitals were later lost and recovered after the Anshi Rebellion, the Pinhua Society soon resurrected with the emperor's officials who returned to Beijing.
But in the following days, the painting style of Pinhua Club gradually changed; or in other words, their tastes and active content became more diversified;
For example, in addition to their original appreciation of the beauties constantly appearing in Beijing, they also began to secretly dabble in erotic picture books and boudoir texts;
Then, it got out of hand and became the source of the largest underground extraordinary publications in the capital and even the world in the following decades;
And he created a series of works such as "The Story of Ruyi Jun", "Xiu Tao Qi Yan", "The Story of Dongli", "The Secret History of Lost Towers", etc., which are popular or loved by the nobles and the common people.
Although they have always used various metaphorical names for their venerable names; as the deeds of their ancestors, the victims who have been used as material and jokes: the Yang family of the Guobin family and the Wu family who are the founding heroes are unavoidable. Its disturbing.
However, it is rumored that behind Li Yu, the second son of the King of Hanzhong, there is a faint shadow of Liang Gongzun, the first hero in overcoming difficulties and pacifying the territory and expanding the territory; and many generations of people were helpless against him.
It was not until later that Liang Gong retreated bravely and refused to care, and since then he went to the newly expanded territory in the outside world to retire; and Li Yu, the second son of the King of Hanzhong, also went to the river to spread branches and leaves for some reason.
The prime minister in office at that time, Wu Yuanheng, who was also the great-nephew of Empress Zetian Shengzun, and Yang Yan, another prime minister of Duzhi, were finally able to join forces and ruthlessly ban and destroy the Pinhua Society.
However, they can break the ban for a while, but they cannot break the ban for a while; let alone the desires of the people who have already formed. As a result, within a few years, more and more shoddy "History of Sui Yang" and "Fantasy Records of the Empress" with bizarre and absurd contents began to flood the market.
At that time, the reigning emperor, who was ruling from the top, rarely summoned these two princes, and said a few allusions about the Queen of Shu's prohibition on alcohol (Note 1), which could be regarded as a disguised attack on the two husbands who inevitably kept public weapons privately;
However, even after the ban was over, the Pinhua Society also disappeared in disguise for a period of time; until a generation of flower poets nicknamed "Wen Bacha" took the name of the Huajian Poetry Society; The banner of the Flower Association...
Of course, the Huajian sect that has evolved to this day, in addition to continuing its traditional functions of digging and discovering, evaluating and appreciating beauties, the largest source of business and income is still the traditional underground business with a low profile.
For example, they continued to publish some disguised advertisements and promotions titled "Erotic Palace Atlas of Changes in the Past Dynasties", but in fact used people from the academy as portrait models; there were also paid collections of many boudoir texts.
Therefore, even if it has been attacked and confiscated several times by the Jingzhao Prefecture in the past dynasties, due to the support of some powerful financial backers and the contributors, in addition to the people in the market, it may also involve the two major and three affiliated schools, and even the Imperial College and Imperial College. people.
Therefore, there is no way to delve deeper into it, but just treat it as a performance that can be brushed back and forth.
It's just that Guo Chongtao and others have heard about this person involved and may be involved, but it is somewhat unbelievable and ridiculous.
"correct."
Before Wei Dongting left, he suddenly said:
"Teacher asked me to tell you that in addition to Fan Shiyi, there are also people from the palace province who are asking about this matter!"
"Province in the palace?"
Guo Chongtao couldn't help but frown. If the person who came to inquire was from the chamberlain department or secretary department, he would understand. But it happened to be the province in the palace.
"Is it the great uncle (the Queen Mother) or the little uncle (the queen)?"
"Which other uncle's family? Of course, the one who almost became a family member before Zhenzhuji's accident?"
Wei Dongting said without hesitation:
"So, I'm just trying to gain a little more status, and I would like to advise you that maybe in the future, you will have to let go when it's time to let go..."
"Thank you, senior brother, for some advice."
However, after hearing these words, Guo Chongtao's face remained unchanged and he thanked him, but he couldn't help but squeeze the case file in his hand.
The next moment, the interrogation in the hall suddenly changed, and Wei Dongting, who was about to leave, took it back again.
Note 1: Disposal of "Three Kingdoms Volume 38·Shu Book 8":
When there is a drought, alcohol is forbidden, and those who brew alcohol will be punished. The officials ask for brewing utensils from others, and the commentators want to order them to be punished the same as those who make wine. (Simple) Yong and his predecessor (Liu Bei) were visiting, and saw a man and woman practicing Taoism. He said to his predecessor, "That man wanted to commit adultery, why didn't he restrain him?" The predecessor said, "How did you know this?" Yong said to him, " He has the same equipment as the one who wants to brew." The First Master laughed, but he wanted to brew.
