"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"

"Anti-theft, close doors and windows!"

"Three watches ......"

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

The clouds were thick and the stars were hidden, obscuring the moon, and the whole of Kyoto was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness. Tomorrow certainly won't be a sunny day, but for others, tonight will be a rare good time.

On the day of the third watch, in Kyoto, whether it is ordinary people or powerful people, they have all turned off the lights and fallen asleep, and the husband rings the gong and walks slowly through the street.

From time to time, a line of street patrol soldiers hurried by, and the armor and weapons collided, making a sonorous sound, but neither the gentry nor the soldiers noticed that just above their heads, countless ghostly figures were rapidly passing through.

A noble mansion.

In the quiet mansion, there were suddenly a few dog barks, and a nurse opened his sleepy eyes and muttered: "In the middle of the night, what is it called, kill the stew tomorrow!" ”

That being said, I got up and opened the door, intending to go over and take a look.

In the courtyard, in the night, a black shadow glanced indifferently at the vicious dog opposite, and the vicious dog immediately stopped barking and ran back to the nest with his tail between his legs.

The guard, whose hand had been laid on the latch, squinted at the answer, shook his head again, and went back to the room sleepily.

In one of the rooms in the courtyard, another figure shrouded in a cloak patted the face of the sleeping man on the bed, "Get up......

When the man opened his eyes, his face was so frightened that he was pointed at the acupoint, and he couldn't move, couldn't speak, and put the whole person into a big bag.

The figure picked up the bag, walked to the courtyard, jumped lightly, and jumped onto the courtyard wall, and the figure in the courtyard glanced at the kennel and retreated.

In the night, there were more than one figure hurrying with large bags, and everyone came from all directions, and finally, they all gathered in the same courtyard.

The sloppy old man glanced at it and said, "A little bit, are you all together?" ”

One person counted and said respectfully: "There should be forty people, but there are thirty-eight people, and there are two more on the way, please instruct your seniors!" ”

"It's coming!" As soon as the words landed, two large bags were thrown in from the outside.

The sloppy old man walked back to the hall, pulled a chicken leg, took a bite, and said, "Your own people, you are responsible." ”

In the courtyard, there were many rooms, and everyone worked in pairs, picking up the wriggling bags in the courtyard and picking a room to enter.

Somewhere in the room.

The man sitting at the table looked at the figure kneeling below and asked in a deep voice, "Name?" ”

"You, who are you?" Downstairs, the man wearing only an undershirt looked horrified, "What are you arresting me here for?" ”

The man asked again, "Name?" ”

"You guys, do you know who I am, you captured me, don't try to escape from Kyoto!"

Behind him, a man kicked him impatiently, "Ask you, come back honestly, don't play tricks!" ”

Although the man kneeling there was full of fear, the situation was stronger than people, and in order not to anger these villains, he could only answer honestly: "Wei Qi." ”

"Official position."

"...... of the Ministry of Works, Squire of the Ministry of Works."

The man above glanced at him and said, "Whatever bad things you have done, tell me." ”

The man named Wei Qi looked up, lowered his head again, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

"Be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting." The man in the cloak reminded: "For example, the dirty things you and the Qin family and the Cui family have done, tell them one by one." ”

Wei Qi's body trembled, raised his head, and said helplessly: "What are you trying to do when you arrest me, I really don't know what you are talking about!" ”

The man in the cloak turned his gaze to the other and said, "Don't waste time, do it." ”

"You, you want ......, ah!"

Before the man named Wei Qi could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground, his bare skin outside, his muscles were bruised, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body was twitching uncontrollably, obviously in extreme pain.

The man crouched down and asked, "Do you want to say it?" ”

"I ......, I don't know ......, I don't know what to say!"

The man didn't ask again, but reached out somewhere on his body to touch again.

This time, the green tendons under his skin began to throb, like writhing earthworms, terrifying, and at the same time, from time to time, his throat let out a low roar of extreme pain, sobbing and flowing, and without waiting for the man to ask, he immediately said: "I said, I said, I said it all......"

The man reached out and tapped his body twice, Wei Qi's clothes were already soaked, and the whole person was lying on the ground as if he had been fished out of the water, gasping for breath.

The man shook his head and threw the pen and paper in front of him: "It would be good to cooperate like this earlier, be honest, don't try to fool us, we all know your background, if you dare to write a lie, let you taste enough of the taste just now." ”

Wei Qi quickly turned over, grabbed the pen, wrote quickly on the paper, and confessed those things, he might lose his official hat and may die, but if he didn't confess, he would be more uncomfortable than death!

Even if it was death, he didn't want to experience the torture just now......

Another room.

"Don't say yes?" The masked man stood up, looked at the figure kneeling in the room, and after taking two steps, said to the other: "Do it!" ”

The man was stunned and asked, "What hands?" ”

The masked man said, "Let him taste the taste of his muscles and bones." ”

The man looked at him and muttered, "I won't ...... the muscles." ”

The masked man was also stunned, "Then what will you do?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I practice serious kung fu, not this kind of path......"

The masked man sat down again and said, "Then I don't care, I arrested the person, the interrogation belongs to you, you can't try it, and you won't deduct my points." ”

"You!" The man glared at him angrily, but he was also a little helpless, looked down at the man who was kneeling on the ground, his face was full of panic, and exclaimed: "People are not a good thing, but they look good......

He glanced up at the masked man and said, "Avoid it." ”

After saying that, he began to take off his pants.

The kneeling man's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, what are you going to do......"

"You ......"

"Don't ......, let me go, I say, I'll say anything!"

……

The man shook his head with some regret, put on his pants, looked at the masked man, and said, "The trial is over." ”

The rest of the rooms.

"We will not wronged any good person, nor will we spare any bad person......"

"You have the right to be silent, and I have the right to fight until you are not silent."

……

A few months ago, the case of the girl Miaoyin Pavilion was in a big stir in Kyoto, and everyone knew about it, and later her unjust case was rehabilitated, and the imperial court built an ancestral hall for her in order to commemorate her, but also to warn the officials and comfort the world, after reforming the law, in Kyoto, an ancestral hall was built for her.

In order to thank Shuangshuang Girl's contribution, people do not hesitate to come from far away to worship, so that in the ancestral hall of Shuangshuang Girl, incense is endless, tribute continues, every morning, before the ancestral hall opens, there are countless people lining up in front of the door, waiting for the person in charge to open the ancestral hall.

It's also an ordinary morning.

A yawn, opened the door of the ancestral hall, and left in a daze without going in to take a look.

His daily duty is to open and close the door, and it is still early, so it is only right to go back and catch up on sleep.

The crowd walked in in a line, holding incense offerings in their hands. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw a scene that they didn't expect.

According to the custom, before entering the ancestral hall, it is customary to bow in front of the stone monument in the courtyard.

At this time, one after another, the figures, tied with ropes, knelt in front of the stone tablet, motionless.

In front of each of them, there was a page of paper, pressed against a stone.

There are small words densely packed on the paper, which are too far away to be read clearly.

Everyone paused, their faces were shocked, and they didn't dare to step forward.

Taking advantage of the gap between the reports of the officials, the good deeds were counted, and the number of people kneeling on the ground, no more, no less, exactly forty.

Finally, someone couldn't help but be curious, and took a few tentative steps forward, and soon, several people followed......
