Prison Prison

The sky prison was extremely dark. Liu Jin, who had been tortured for a long time, was carried and thrown into the cell by the prison guards. The severe pain all over his body made Liu Jin couldn't help but let out a moan.

Even if Liu Jin had practiced internal strength, he would not be able to withstand such repeated torture for long. I am afraid that within a day or two, he would be tortured to death by Song Jing, Peng Guang, Geng Li, Xue Yi and others.

Lying on the dark and damp ground, Liu Jin murmured: "Li Huan, Li Huan, can you do it? When will you come to save our family? As long as you can save our family, our family will never be able to do it again."

I won’t cause any trouble for you.”

After a while, Liu Jin was heard gnashing his teeth and saying: "Song Jing, Xue Yi, Peng Guang, you guys, wait for our family. Don't let our family get out alive, otherwise I want you to die without a burial place."

It was quiet in the prison, and there was no other sound except Liu Jin's whispered curses.

But in a cell next door, after finishing Liu Jin's torment, Song Jing and others were now facing an old man hanging in mid-air.

This old man is none other than Jiao Fang, who first took refuge in Liu Jin and even entered the cabinet through Liu Jin's power.

As one of Liu Jin's confidants, Jiao Fang can be said to be the core of the eunuch party. Liu Jin was unlucky, so he was naturally sent to prison. In comparison, Jiao Fang's treatment was slightly better than Liu Jin's.

But it was also very miserable, it just meant that I suffered less torture.

At this time, Geng Li looked at Jiao Fang and said: "Jiao Fang, are you still unwilling to plead guilty? Did you encourage Liu Jin to murder the emperor?"

Jiao Fang's eyes were full of hatred, and she spat at Song Jing and others and said: "I, Jiao Fang, never do anything to deceive you. If you want to label me a treason,

It’s simply delusional.”

Geng Li frowned and said: "Old guy, you are so stubborn. Do you really think that you are still the old Jiaoge elder? I tell you, the emperor has not been able to live for a few days. Once the emperor dies, all of you will follow him.

Walk."

Hearing this, Jiao Fang's expression changed and she couldn't help shouting: "You are so brave, you dare to plot against the emperor. Aren't you afraid of confiscating your family, exterminating your clan, and annihilating all nine clans?"

Xue Yi sneered and said: "Who said we were plotting to murder the emperor? Who would believe that we were plotting to murder the emperor? You? It's a pity that you don't have a few more days to live."

Jiao Fang's eyes widened angrily and she said: "You... you will not die well."

Geng Li directly waved the whip in his hand, slapped Jiao Fang hard and said: "Old man, if you cooperate with us honestly and insist that you colluded with Liu Jin to murder the emperor, won't you be able to suffer less? You have to talk so hard.

What? Anyway, in the end, no matter you admit it or not, the result will be the same."

Song Jing on the side stroked his beard and said with a faint smile on his face: "Hurry up and prepare the confession. After he passes out, sign and post it to him. Confirm the crime early and wait for the news to come from the palace.

, we can also send Liu Jin and others on their way."

Xue Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sir, the confession has been prepared long ago and can be signed by Jiao Fang at any time."

But it was said that Fei Hong felt a little worried when he saw the emperor waking up, and immediately left the imperial city and went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to see Liu Jin off.

However, what Fei Hong didn't expect was that the road he took was exactly the main entrance of the imperial city where Li Huan entered.

Not to mention the other palace gates, this palace gate was completely defended by a group of soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp brought by Zhang Mao. Even a fly could not get in or out.

When Fei Hong appeared at the palace gate, the person who stayed at the palace gate to guard the city gate was Li Xi. Li Xi did not follow him into the imperial city, but asked to stay and guard the palace gate.

According to Zhang Mao's instructions, no one is allowed to enter or exit without orders.

So Fei Hong was blocked at the palace entrance by these soldiers from the Beijing camp.

Fei Hong was stopped by several soldiers. Even if he showed his identity, it still had no effect at all. Fei Hong only got angry and cursed.

Because he learned from the soldiers guarding the palace gate that it was Li Xi, Marquis of Fengcheng, who was guarding the palace gate at the moment, Fei Hong couldn't help but stand at the palace gate and cursed outside: "Li Xi, Li Xi, what's the matter?"

Come see me soon."

After all, Li Xi is also Marquis of Fengcheng. When has he ever been yelled at by someone by his first name? Even if he met the current Pavilion Elder, the other party would still call him Marquis of Fengcheng.

Fei Hong yelled and called him by his name, which obviously made Li Xi very angry. In front of so many soldiers from the Beijing camp, didn't he, Li Xi, lose face?

With a bit of anger, Li Xi appeared in Fei Hong's sight.

When he saw Li Xi, Fei Hong's eyes lit up and he yelled at Fei Hong unceremoniously: "Li Xi, why don't you ask your men to open the palace door and let me out of the palace?"

Li Xi glanced at Fei Hong lightly, shook his head and said: "Sorry, I have been ordered by the old prince to guard the palace gate and not let anyone in or out. Master Fei, please come back. Unless it's you.

Can you bring me the old Duke's warrant or His Majesty's imperial edict?"

Fei Hong couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this. He pointed angrily at Li Xi and said, "Li Xi, you are so brave. Do you know that I..."

Before Fei Hong could finish his words, Li Xi said with a bit of a sneer: "Of course I know who you are, but I have already said that without the order of the Duke or His Majesty, even the current elders would not be able to think of themselves.

This is the palace gate for entry and exit."

Seeing that Li Xi was unwilling to let him out of the palace, Fei Hong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, very good, Marquis of Fengcheng, I will remember you."

After saying that, Fei Hong stopped arguing with Li Xi. Li Xi decided that he would not open the palace gate, so there was nothing he could do about it. If he had time, he might as well find another palace gate to leave the palace.

This time Fei Hong came to another palace gate. Fortunately, the gatekeepers at the palace gate were Gao Changsheng's men before. When they saw Fei Hong, they opened the palace gates for Fei Hong one by one and let Fei Hong out of the palace.

However, half a day passed after Fei Hong's troubles, and when Fei Hong rushed all the way to the prison of the Criminal Department, the sky was already dark.

Striding towards the Tianlu of the Ministry of Punishment, he immediately saw a group of soldiers and horses guarding the entrance of the Tianlu. These soldiers and horses were specially transferred from the Beijing camp to defend the Tianlu to prevent the remnants of Liu Jin's party from coming to rob the prison.

After all, Liu Jin once had all the power in the world, and he also cultivated many capable people and strangers under his command. Although most of those people have been destroyed when Liu Jin was taken down, I am afraid that there are still people who are loyal to Liu Jin.

Yes.

In order to take good care of Liu Jin, these people even mobilized troops from the Beijing camp, which shows how afraid these people are of Liu Jin.

A Baihu official looked at Fei Hong and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he saw Fei Hong's signature, he immediately let him go and let Fei Hong enter the prison.

As a trusted general under Changxing Marquis Feng Hai, Baihu Feng Ming was Feng Hai's personal soldier. Feng Hai arranged him into the capital camp to command a Baihu.

What Fei Hong held was the seal of Marquis Changxing. Feng Ming was naturally very familiar with the seal of Marquis Changxing and recognized it at a glance.

Naturally, someone who could hold the seal of their master was not an ordinary person, so even though he didn't know Fei Hong's identity, Feng Ming didn't even ask and just let him go.

When I walked into the Tianlao, I was quickly greeted by the officials who were in charge of the Tianlao.

Compared to Feng Ming, a hundred-household official who was unfamiliar with the civil service system, the official who managed the Tianlao was very familiar with the official robes.

When he saw Fei Hong walking over in a purple robe, he immediately had a smile on his face and greeted him: "Your Excellency, I am here. Do you have any business to do?"

Fei Hong glanced at the official indifferently and said: "My official, Fei Hong, let me ask you, are the officials from the Third Division Yamen responsible for hearing Liu Jin's case here?"

Hearing Fei Hong's name, the officials couldn't help but be shocked. This man is quite remarkable. It is said that he is one of the candidates for the future Pavilion Elders. So he said even more attentively: "Back to your lord, Mr. Song and the others are currently in the prison."

They are interrogating the prisoners. Do you always want to see them? I will take you there right now."

Fei Hong frowned, glanced at the official, looked around, took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "Go immediately and give this letter to Song Jing, and ask him to follow the instructions in the letter."

Do what you say."

The official was stunned for a moment and saw that Fei Hong had no intention of entering the prison. After realizing it, he quickly said respectfully: "I understand."

After saying that, Fei Hong turned around and left.

The official looked at Fei Hong's back, then looked at the letter in his hand, and immediately ran into the prison to deliver the letter to Fei Hong.

On the long street, surrounded by dozens of blood-stained imperial guards, Li Huan galloped straight towards the punishment department's prison.

From Li Dongyang and the others, Li Huan had learned that Liu Jin, Jiao Fang and others were currently being held in the sky prison. Originally, Li Huan planned to seal off the Imperial Hospital first, but in order to prevent any accidents, Li Huan decided to

First go to the Tianlao and take Liu Jin and others out and transfer them to the imperial prison.

Otherwise, Li Huan was really worried that once the news of the emperor's awakening spread, someone would be so eager to kill Liu Jin.

Liu Jin has offended so many people in recent years, and I don't know how many people want to kill Liu Jin.

Previously, many people were sure that Liu Jin would definitely die and there would be no chance of him turning around, so they didn't mind seeing Liu Jin tortured and eventually die miserably. But if they saw that Liu Jin was likely to turn around, then Liu Jin's life would really be at risk.

It's dangerous.

"Jin Yiwei, they are from Jin Yiwei, everyone, please stay away!"

In the morning, Li Huan led his men on the long street and killed the men of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in front of many people in the capital. They also beheaded the commanders of the Military and Horse Division.

The corpse was left on the long street for a long time before Zhang Mao sent people to clean it up. That scene was seen by many people.

As a result, Li Huan's evil reputation once again became famous in the capital. Naturally, thanks to Li Huan, Jin Yiwei also became famous again.

Now that they saw Jin Yiwei running wildly, the people in the capital were neither blind nor fools, so they naturally ran away immediately.

Since Jin Yiwei had a Shangguan like Li Huan, he has changed his previous low-key style. Although the limelight was not so popular in the past two years, the news that came from Fujian not long ago made the people of the capital stunned. They only suspected that it was

rumor.

No one would believe that Li Huan killed so many officials and even hundreds of scholars in Fuzhou at once, but everyone believed that Li Huan had killed people from the Army and Horses Division of the five cities like melons and vegetables.

He felt a sense of awe for Jin Yiwei and Li Huan from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, there were many people on the long street, and Li Huan and others could not go faster even if they wanted to.

But I don’t know who shouted that, and soon the whole long street was filled with shouts that Li Huan was coming. Along with the sound of horse hooves, the long street suddenly became very smooth, and almost no one could be seen at a glance.

, even if they could be seen, they would all hide in corners or on the streets, for fear of being spotted by Li Huan and others.

Li Huan ignored this and drove his horse to gallop, his speed suddenly increased.

It was at this time that Song Jing, who was watching Jiao Fang unconscious after being whipped in the jail while the jailer took his hand to mark the confession, suddenly frowned and looked at the official who came over.

The official naturally noticed Song Jing's gaze, nodded and bowed, and with a flattering look on his face, he stepped forward and handed the secret letter Fei Hong had given him to Song Jing and said: "Master, this is what Fei Master asked the subordinate to send." He said

You will know what to do after seeing it.”
