Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it is already two days later.
The situation in Hebei Province has stabilized.
Princess Lanling's current task is to secretly find out the channels through which the 10,000 Liao troops sneaked into the territory of Daliang.
Su Xian was not involved in this matter.
He traveled back and forth between Yingzhou City and the marching camp every day, and continued to "arrive late and leave early". After returning home, he would have a few words with Chen Keyan, and after nightfall, he would climb the wall to Liu Huixiang's boudoir...
My little life was very comfortable.
…
By the way, the letter written by Nangong Kui two days ago was sent out through the military post channel that day. After rushing day and night, under the stars and the moon, it finally arrived in the divine capital of the Daliang Empire today——
Luoyang!
Luoyang was originally the eastern capital of Daliang, but the real capital was actually Chang'an.
But since Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, she has been living in Dongdu, so Dongdu has become the capital of God, almost becoming the capital of the Liang Empire.
All the government offices, provinces, ministries, prisons and temples of the imperial court are all located in the city of Shendu.
Princes, princes, civil and military officials, and their relatives all also live in the city of God.
Shendu City is bounded by "Beimang Mountain" to the north, "崤山" to the west, "Xiong'er Mountain" and "Waifang Mountain" to the south, and "Songshan Mountain" to the east.
Surrounded by mountains, Shendu City is located in a basin.
In addition to these large mountains, there are also famous peaks such as "Shaoshi Mountain", "Shouyang Mountain", "Longmen Mountain" and so on.
Among them, 24 peaks are more prominent.
Modern scholars have verified that cultural symbols such as "Lianshan Yi", "Twenty-Four Constellations", "Twenty-Four Solar Terms", "Twenty-Four Mountains True Secret", "Twenty-Four Mountains Method" and other cultural symbols handed down from ancient times are They are all related to the twenty-four peaks around Luoyang.
In addition to mountains, Shendu City also has water.
"Luoshui" passes through the city, dividing Shendu City into two parts: "North City" and "South City".
In addition, there are "Gushui", "Xiecheng Canal", "Cao Canal", "Yun Canal", "Yishui", "Tongjin Canal", "Tongji Canal" and other canals all over the city, forming a water transportation that extends in all directions. .
Among them, "Tongji Canal" is part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
In other words, goods traveling from south to north along the Grand Canal can be transported directly into Shendu City and directly to the three markets in the city, including "Tongyuan City", "Fengdu City" and "Datong City".
Shipping traffic is extremely developed.
This is really a Feng Shui treasure land with outstanding people!
…
The letter written by Nangong Kui has been sent to the city and delivered to the "Prison and Prison Department" Yamen, and it has completed its journey.
But the recipient of the letter designated by Nangong Kui——
The Criminal and Prison Department arrests Jiang Hanwen, but he is not in the Yamen.
Because it was still early, the sun had just risen, and Jiang Hanwen had just walked out of the house.
Beicheng, Lidefang.
In a slightly shabby alley.
Jiang Hanwen came out wearing official uniform and yawning.
boom!
As he closed the slightly shabby door, the howls of lonely wolves suddenly sounded in the alley——
"Ah... run!"
"The people from the Prison Department are out!"
"Everyone, go home quickly and close the door tightly..."
"Wow wow...mother..."
"..."
Jiang Hanwen suddenly trembled, and his head, which had not yet woken up, was completely awake.
After he closed the door, he stood there, his face facing the door motionless, his face looking embarrassed and livid.
Soon, the howling ghosts and wolves behind him stopped abruptly.
Jiang Hanwen slowly turned around and looked around the alley. As he expected, there was no one in the alley, and every door was closed.
Install the latest version. 】
The alley was eerily quiet for a while.
Jiang Hanwen, 23 or 24 years old, of medium build, as skinny as a monkey, with a smart and capable look on his face.
But at this moment, his smart and capable young face was full of deep helplessness and embarrassment.
It has been more than half a year since he moved here, but his neighbors are still afraid of him.
The reason is that because of his identity, the Prison Department arrested four heads!
Digging deeper, the reason is that the Prison Department has Nangong Kui, the head of three arrests, who is good at using various tortures and has a very bad reputation among the people.
Furthermore, the reputation of the Prison Department has also become bad...
Jiang Hanwen was implicated.
“It’s all the fault of that scumbag Nangong Kui!”
Jiang Hanwen stared at the empty alley, clenched his fists, and murmured:
"If he hadn't done so many tortures, the reputation of my prison department wouldn't be so bad, and I wouldn't be implicated... Torture, and those horrible instruments of torture, I will destroy them all for you one day. !”
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hanwen walked alone in the empty alley, preparing to rush to the Prison Department Yamen for duty.
When passing a door, he heard someone talking inside:
"...The people in the Prison Department are all demons and man-eating beasts. I heard that they like to use razors to cut off the flesh of prisoners..."
"..."
Jiang Hanwen frowned fiercely and continued walking without stopping. He silently defended himself in his heart: "That's what only that scumbag Nangong Kui would do. I never touch torture instruments..."
After walking a few steps, I passed by the door of another house and heard the person inside say:
"...That fourth arrester, Jiang Hanwen, looks polite on the surface, but he has done so many dirty things behind the scenes... There is not a single good person in the Prison Department!"
"..."
Jiang Hanwen's face suddenly turned livid, he stopped and clenched his fists and said secretly: "No, I am a good person!"
He glanced sideways at the closed door and resisted the urge to knock on the door to defend himself.
Because his excuses were useless and his descriptions were getting darker and darker, the neighbors would label him as "trespassing into a house"...
"call!"
Jiang Hanwen took a deep breath, shook his head with a wry smile and continued walking forward.
When I came to the door of another family, I heard an aunt inside say:
"...Bah! As for Jiang Hanwen, a murderous villain, I won't marry my precious daughter to him. He won't even think about it! Qing'er, you must not marry that villain, do you understand?"
"..."
Jiang Hanwen couldn't help but stop and twitch the corners of his mouth again and again. What this aunt said was too much.
The woman named "Qing'er" was quite pretty. He just turned his head and glanced at her before, but the result was that the auntie was in trouble.
She didn't think that Jiang Hanwen had fallen in love with her daughter, and she was talking bad things about him everywhere. If Jiang Hanwen defended her, she would cry and make a fuss, making it known to all the neighbors...
…
After finally walking out of the alley, Jiang Hanwen looked up at the sky and shouted in his heart: "Oh my god, when will this kind of day end!"
Then, he clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart again: "Nangong Kui, you and I are at odds with each other. If you destroy my reputation, I will destroy your torture devices and instruments!"
Having said that, Jiang Hanwen had no idea how to operate it.
Torture and instruments of torture are indeed powerful means of interrogating criminals.
