[69 Book Bar-www.] Chen Zhong was shocked and said, "Sir, Your Highness said that corporal punishment should not be used..."
Wei Zongzheng looked at him coldly and shouted, "Take this person down, if there is any noise, you will be dealt with ashamed of the court."
Chen Zhong shut up. Although he was rude enough, Wei Zongzheng could even invite Wenhou and the second prince out, so it might not be impossible for him to kill him in front of the hall.
A yamen runner opened the door of the cage, and the two behind me pulled out their knives and said, "General Chu, please come in." I looked at Wei Zongzheng in despair, and he sat upright on it expressionlessly, not at all.
Moved. To him, I was just a trivial suspect. Whether I was alive or dead was just a trivial matter.
Wei Zongzheng may belong to the second prince's party. I was taken to the cage by the two yamen runners, and Chen Zhong turned his head a little reluctantly. Sitting in the cage is not a corporal punishment, but the pain it brings is even more than corporal punishment.
,I once heard of the precedent of old and weak criminals falling to death in a cage. Wei Zongzheng put me in a cage, so he had to let me tell the truth, right?
Not to mention, the second prince will kill me, but then, maybe the second prince and Wenhou will kill me. Shao Fengguan said this well, and I figured it out. Sitting in the cage, watching them put wooden sticks one by one
The pointed tip was inserted into the cage, and I thought expressionlessly.
The wooden sticks were about two inches away from me and stopped. I counted and there were 48 wooden sticks up and down. These wooden sticks left a space slightly larger than my body, and fortunately I
I sat in the most comfortable position, and Wei Zongzheng didn't let me enter the station cage. I probably could hold on for a long time. If it was a station cage, after standing for a day, I was afraid that life would be worse than death.
After the wooden sticks were inserted, Wei Zongzheng said to the officials of the two inspectors and Dali Temple: "Mr. Ding, Lord An, this case is of great importance. Thank you for your hard work, please make sure that the case is revealed.
Two people”
Censor Ding of the Inspectorate was tall and thin, but An Zhengqing of Dali Temple was a burly man, even more like a military general. Censor Ding said: "Justice Wei performed his duties conscientiously, and the lower officials should work together to help."
Censor Ding spoke very smoothly. Wei Zongzheng just smiled slightly and suddenly said with a stern face: "Chu Xiuhong, there will be no truth in the world that will never be revealed. Even if you want to hide it, it will be useless, but you still remember the blessings.
What happened to the emperor being assassinated?"
Emperor Fude is the eldest grandson of the Great Emperor, the third generation emperor of the empire. He was only five years old when he succeeded to the throne. Three years later, he was assassinated in the garden of the imperial palace. He was also a small eight-year-old child at the time of his death, so he naturally had no descendants.
The throne was his eldest uncle, King Weide. Emperor Fude was just a child, and the word "De" could not be called "Fu" and died at the age of eight, and it could not be called "Fu". King Weide was a wise king. Since he succeeded to the throne, the empire has been clear and peaceful.
, with a bumper harvest, he was the best among all wise monarchs in history. However, King Weide could not be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, because when he was still in power, the assassination of Emperor Fude was examined by the Three Laws at that time, and the assassin was made by Weide
When the memorial was submitted to King Weide who had succeeded to the throne,
The five words "King Weide Killed the Lord" were clearly written on the face. King Weide was furious and killed the Dali Temple official Tian Zhongting. The Minister of Justice and the Censor of the Inspectorate were demoted and ordered a retrial, but the second time he submitted it
The memorial was still the memorial. The officials of the Three Laws and Laws finally fabricated a murderer, but this matter had spread throughout the empire. Although King Weide used his harsh hands to make no one in the world dared to discuss it, he had also been in his life.
After his death, although Emperor Taiding, who succeeded to the throne, was the stepson of King Weide, he was forced to move King Weide to the Taimiao and take the imperial title to the emperor, so that the tenth empires in the Ming Dynasty in the current history books
Among the Seven Emperors, the fourth generation is still a "King of Wisdom and Demon".
Wei Zongzheng told me this to make me understand the character of the Three Fa Departments. However, even though the Three Fa Departments were strong, they still obeyed the will of King Weide at that time, and the first two groups of officials did not end well.
I sat in the cage and said, "Mr. Wei, I dare not hide my sins, but in fact, even if I act boldly, I dare not fabricate them."
Wei Zongzheng snorted and said, "Since that's the case, someone will come."
A yamen runner came over and said, "Sir."
"You are careful to guard it. No one is allowed to enter without self-determination."
The yamen runner bowed and agreed, and Wei Zongzheng said to the other two officials: "Two sirs, let's go here for now. Let's go back and rest first, and then try again tomorrow."
An Zhengqing looked at me when he left and said, "Sir Wei, what if the crime is unreliable?"
Wei Zongzheng looked at me coldly and said slowly: "Iron will melt."
His words were cold and cold, like a blade.
What else Chen Zhong wanted to say, Wei Zongzheng said: "General Chen, I have something to ask you, follow me to the side hall to speak."
Chen Zhong bowed, looked at me again, and followed him out. Maybe Wei Zongzheng wanted to ask him about what was going on the way. After they left, I sat upright in the cage, thinking about what happened these days.
Wei Zongzheng said that I was "stubborn but not honest". In fact, what I said was the truth, but some of them were not said. Chen Zhong didn't know what happened, and what I said would not match him.
After they left, the lobby suddenly became quiet. The door of the lobby was locked, and only two yamen runners who were guarding me were on the side. I sat upright in the cage and began to feel a little sore. I kept sitting in one position for a long time
, people can also be tired, not to mention that there are pointed wooden sticks on the side, I will run into them as soon as I lean against the side. Sitting in a cage is a kind of torture, which is because it is impossible to rest, and it is not even possible to change positions. I think
Looking at the wooden sticks, although they were not made of iron, the pointed tips were enough to penetrate into people's flesh. I closed my eyes and silently recited the "Heart Sutra of Morality" in my heart.
The sky was getting darker. The two yamen runners guarding me also started to take a nap. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard someone calling me softly. I opened my eyes and saw a yamen runner squatting outside the cage and watching.
I was shocked, and before he could speak, he pressed his finger on his lips and whispered: "Hold this."
What he handed over was a wooden cylinder, not long, covered with cloth. I was a little strange, with a thread tensed. I took it over, but I heard a voice from a man coming from it: "General Chu, General Chu
, did you hear it?"
This is Chen Zhong’s voice!
I was startled and looked at the yamen runner suspiciously. The man didn't say anything, and pointed to another yamen runner who was asleep next to me. I was surprised and happy, and whispered: "Chen Zhong, what's this?
What's going on?"
Chen Zhong said: "This is a melody tube made by Mr. Xue. General Chu, Lord Wenhou will write a letter to the emperor tomorrow. Are you okay?"
It was Xue Wenyi, the things he made were really incredible. Knowing that he was helping me, I felt excited and whispered: "It's okay. How are you?"
