The prison areas in the Fusi Yamen Office of Jinyiwei Town are all concentrated together, and no matter who the criminals are admitted to, they will be detained here.
Wu Shou and Lou Tianhua, who were in charge of the execution of thousands of households, walked to the prison in tandem and silently. The identities of the two were very different. They were from completely different worlds. There was really nothing to say to each other.
Lou Tianhua had a vague intuition that the Qianhu named Wu probably had some relationship with his proprietor, but he couldn't be sure and it was inconvenient to ask.
When they arrived outside the prison, the leader on duty was a Baihu official named Qiu. When he saw Wu Qianhu arriving, he quickly came out from the side yard to greet him and obeyed his orders.
Wu Shou did not exchange greetings and asked directly: "Did you admit a prisoner named Zhang Gui in the past two days?"
However, he said that there were many prisoners in the prison, and Qiu Baihu could not remember them all accurately, but he had an impression of Zhang Gui. Because the deputy commander, Mr. Shi, specifically gave Zhang Gui some instructions, so he remembered them.
I don’t know what Wu Qianhu meant when he suddenly came over to ask Zhang Gui, but there was no need for Qiu Baihu to lie, and he couldn’t lie. He could find it by looking through the records. He replied: “It is true, he was taken into custody the day before yesterday.
.”
Wu Qianhu then ordered: "Bring him out, I want to see him." Qiu Baihu hesitated for a moment, considered the consequences of rejecting Wu Qianhu, then turned and entered the passage outside the prison door.
Lou Tianhua watched Qiu Baihu's figure disappear into the long, dark passage. Not long after, he saw two officers and soldiers carrying a stretcher, led by Qiu Baihu, walking out of the passage.
Lou Tianhua took a few steps forward and saw very clearly that the person on the stretcher was none other than former Wanping County Supervisor Zhang Gui! But at this time, Supervisor Zhang's face was bruised and bruised, and he was lying on the stretcher dying.
If he hadn't been very familiar with Zhang Gui, Lou Tianhua might not have been able to quickly recognize that this unrecognizable, half-dead man was Zhang Gui. Without the cover of Fang Yingwu. With his performance in Jinyiwei today, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
This outcome.
Seeing Zhang Gui, Lou Tian felt the same emotion. He was very sad and almost burst into tears. He couldn't help but stepped forward, held the stretcher and shouted: "Zhang Gui? Zhang Gui?"
When Zhang Gui heard a familiar voice, he managed to open his eyes. When he saw Lou Tianhua next to him, he gasped and whispered: "It turns out to be...Mr. Lou."
Lou Tianhua wanted to say something, but couldn't bear to interrupt Zhang Gui. Then he heard Zhang Gui say feebly: "They asked me about Mr. Fang..."
Wu Shou, the head of the Zhenfu Division, was used to this and was used to it, so he didn't think there was anything worth lamenting. He turned to Qiu Baihu and said: "Zhang Gui has not been charged with a single crime, so why is he being taken into custody? It's not too soon.
Release people quickly!"
Qiu Baihu lowered his head and stood in front of Wu Qianhu, clasping his fists as a sign of courtesy and saying: "As for this prisoner, the deputy commander, Mr. Shi, has specifically given instructions. Without his instructions, he will never be released!"
Wu Shou frowned, "Shi Chun can manage the prison, so why can't I control the prison? As the person in charge of thousands of households, I don't even have this bit of autonomy?"
Both sides couldn't afford to offend. Qiu Baihu, whose household was as big as a bucket, begged: "Let Master Wu see Zhang Gui, the lower official has already taken a huge responsibility. I hope Master Wu will understand and stop forcing others to do anything."
If Mr. Wu intends to mention someone, he hopes to discuss it directly with Mr. Shi. If a result is reached, the lower official will naturally comply with it. Why force the lower official at this time and ask the lower official to be caught in the middle and get the blame? "
Wu Shou beckoned Lou Tianhua over, "Go to the front and inform Mr. Fang of Zhang Gui's situation."
In the front courtyard, thousands of households were still teaching Fang Yingwu: "According to Master Wu's intention, I may use your influence to create trouble for Master Shi.
As for Mr. Fang, your intention to help the curtain is not wrong, but from my point of view, it is better to stop it in moderation and not add fuel to the fire."
Fang Yingwu asked with a half-smile, "What do you mean by your Excellency, do you want me to prevent others from taking advantage of me and to take advantage of others' fire?"
Thousands of households hurriedly waved their hands and said, "I never said such a thing, otherwise Master Wu would have thought that I was disrespectful to him if he heard it. My original intention is to hope that everyone can live in peace and coexist peacefully."
Fang Yingwu caught a glimpse of Lou Tianhua walking into the hall in a hurry, and asked proactively: "How is the situation? Have you seen Zhang Gui?"
Lou Tianhua reported with a sad face: "Zhang Gui was severely tortured and his condition was terrible, but he could barely speak. I heard from him that after entering the Jinyi Guard, he was tortured about the proprietor."
When Fang Yingwu heard this, he realized that his previous guess was indeed correct. Being cautious is never a bad thing! So he became furious and slapped the case fiercely. In anger, he used great strength and directly put the case on the case.
The teacup fell over.
Fang Yingwu angrily said to Cheng Qianhu: "I know that Jin Yiwei can detect illegal affairs. Did the investigation come to my head today? The deputy commander is actually taking the lead!
I wonder if I have shown any signs, or if there is any evidence, or if there is a secret edict from the emperor, Master Shi will go to great lengths to track down me?"
Lou Tianhua also asked aggressively: "What is the purpose of Jin Yiwei's wanton pursuit of my proprietor?"
How could thousands of households answer this question? He could only wailed, fearing what would happen, things were simply heading in the worst direction.
At this point, the matter had the most direct relationship with Fang Yingwu. Fang Yingwu also acted as the victim, and it was impossible not to intervene.
Moreover, Fang Yingwu is definitely not fighting alone. He also has the support and support of powerful forces behind him. Wu Shou also has Wang Zhi behind him. It is definitely the most unwise choice for outsiders to get involved.
Thousands of households couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it would be great if the deputy commander Shi Chun was in the office at this time. It is much better to let Mr. Shi, the person involved, handle it personally than to be in a dilemma and have nothing to do!
At this moment, someone said that Cao Cao had arrived, and another person walked into the hall. He was about forty years old. He was different from others in that he was wearing a flying fish suit. Thousands of households did not bother to introduce him, and quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen you before."
Sir Shi!"
Fang Yingwu knew that this was the deputy commander Shi Chun, and he had met the real master. Moreover, Fang Yingwu also felt that he had done the right thing by coming quickly today.
Shi Chun must have gotten the news, so he hurried back to the Yamen to deal with it. If he had delayed a little bit and came a little later, and let Shi Chun prepare and wait in advance, he might not be able to get as much news as easily as he just did.
The deputy commander Shi Chun did not speak to thousands of households. He turned to Fang Yingwu and said proudly: "Just now, I heard Mr. Fang roaring outside, but I want to advise Mr. Fang that you don't have to be like this!"
The Jinyi Guards are the emperor's personal troops, and the Zhenfu Division is closely related to the safety of Nian Yu. Any suspicion can be traced without any restrictions, and there is no need to report it to me. Why should Mr. Fang be angry about this?"
"Master Shi is so eloquent!" Fang Yingwu applauded, and then said angrily: "It seems that Master Shi was right to secretly investigate me. As a suspect, I should actively cooperate. Then
I will live in the Zhenfu Si Yamen here until Master Shi finds out!"
Shi Chun was stunned by Fang Yingwu's seemingly unwarranted words. He knew that Fang Yingwu was going to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow, but there was someone in charge of Shi Chun, so he was not afraid of Fang Yingwu talking nonsense in front of the emperor.
.
However, if Fang Yingwu is delayed in the Zhenfu Si, affecting his audience tomorrow, it would be like the Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Si coercing the courtiers to resist the imperial edict and disrespect him.
Fang Yingwu's big mistake has not yet been caught. When he is investigated at that time, he will be responsible for framing the minister without authorization. It is not even ruled out that some people will slander and say that they deliberately framed the person His Majesty intended to summon, and they must have ulterior motives.
.
However, what he just said was so full that he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to change it. For a moment, Mr. Shi was speechless. At this time, a small school commander ran to him and reported to the deputy commander: "That Zhang Gui was taken away by Wu Qianhu
Got it!"
Shi Chun seemed to have found an outlet and said angrily: "I have an order in advance and I am not allowed to release him. Who dares to disobey the order?"
The primary school reporter who reported the news explained: "Prisoner Qiu Baihu said that this was not a release, but an interrogation by Wu Qianhu. After all, Wu Qianhu was the head of the Town and Fu Division, and it was natural to interrogate any criminal.
There is no reason to stop it."
When he heard that Zhang Gui had arrived at Wu Shou's place, Fang Yingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his last trace of worry. Although he had inconvenienced contact with Wu Shou to avoid suspicion, as long as Zhang Gui was not in Shi Chun's hands, there was nothing to worry about.
?
"Wu Shou, that bastard!" Shi Chun cursed, feeling a lot of suffocation in his chest. He was not in the government office today, but someone found him and informed him that Fang Yingwu had gone to the county government office and already knew that Zhang Gui had been arrested by Jin Yiwei.
Fu Si mentioned the matter of leaving.
He knew that Fang Yingwu's energy should not be underestimated, so he hurried back to the Zhenfu Si Yamen Office and planned to make arrangements in advance. However, he arrived late. Only this step late, and he seemed to be controlled by others everywhere.
.
At this time, Fang Yingwu asked abruptly: "Master Shi, how much benefit did Liang Fang give you to conspire to frame me?"
This Liang Fang is the famous royal eunuch Liang Fang, one of the most favored sycophants around the emperor. He is known for going out of his way to please the emperor. Together with Huai En, Wang Zhi, Qin Chang and others, he is the most influential person in the dynasty.
eunuch.
Liang Fang also had countless accomplices, such as the internal eunuch Wei Juan, the alchemist Li Zi and Deng Changen, and others. Wang Jing, the Jiangnan procurement eunuch, was also a member of Liang Fang's family.
Hearing the word Liang Fang, Shi Chun's eyes widened and he suddenly looked at Qianqian House. Only Qianqian Household had spoken to Fang Yingwu just now. Could it be that Qianqian Household's talkativeness leaked this level of information?
Thousands of households were so frightened that they took two steps back and defended themselves: "It has nothing to do with me, I didn't mention it." (To be continued...)
