Chapter 788: Breaking into the Ya
Bai Bing and Lin Hu just escorted Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang to Funiu Mountain to return to Beijing today. At noon, the little county lord presided over the family banquet and washed the dust for the two. Originally, I was waiting for Lin Jue to go home for dinner, but I couldn't wait for the left and the right to wait, so the sisters had to drink some wine by themselves. After all, Lin Jue sometimes eats in the yamen, and this is just back in the capital, and there must be a lot of affairs in the yamen, so he didn't come back.
When the servants reported the news that Lord Yang Xiuyang had asked to see, several women were sitting on the gazebo in the back house, drinking tea while listening to Bai Bing's story of what he had seen in the mountains. Yang Xiu is a good friend of Lin Jue and an official of the same office, and when they heard Yang Xiu coming, several people hurriedly went out of the front hall to meet them. After hearing Yang Xiuyu report the ins and outs of the matter, several women realized that something was wrong with the situation.
After a brief discussion, the little lord decided to take someone to see what was going on. She is the county lord, and it is more convenient for her to act, although her body is not convenient, but she can't take care of it at the moment.
The little county lord immediately summoned his men and ordered Lin Hu to gather more than a dozen guards in the mansion and set out. Bai Bing even tucked the blade at his waist, and even Green Dance touched the dagger and stuck it in the barrel of his boot. Yang Xiu was very frightened when he saw this battle, and he suddenly felt that Lin Jue's explanation was correct, and this report might cause trouble.
"County Lord, the lower officials dare to advise, don't act rashly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble. That Yushitai Yamen is not a place to mess with. Yang Xiu finally said what was in his heart.
"Then we're the ones to be messed with? My husband is a prince and a magistrate of the imperial court. disappeared for no reason, we naturally have to ask Fang Dunru for an explanation. If it was really him who detained my husband, he would not be able to care about anything. The little county lord shouted coldly.
Yang Xiu was speechless, but she actually sighed in her heart. Lord Lin is really a blessing, the wife and concubine in the family are so maintained, and life is so much more than what a husband wants. Thinking of himself, in his early years, his official position was low, his life was hard, and his wife abandoned him, how could he have half a sense of affection. The comparison between the two is simply poignant.
Yang Xiu knew that there was no law to persuade him, but in fact, there was no need to persuade him. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have capital and status, and even he had to be tough, how could he rescue Lin Jue? Lin Jue is kind to him, and he is his best friend, this time he is fighting for his official position, and he has to do something for Lin Jue when he is imprisoned.
The group rushed to the front of the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower. Asking Lao Wu and the others who were watching in front of the door, they learned that no one entered or left the yamen, and Master Lin and Fang Dunru were nowhere to be found.
The little county lord is not a reckless person, and she decides to salute first and then soldier. first asked to see Fang Dunru as the county lord and asked him to let his husband come out to see him. Lin Hu was ordered to come forward and hand over the name to ask to see him, but unexpectedly, the reply he got soon after: Fang Zhongcheng is inconvenient to meet, and Lord Lin has already left the yamen.
This is obviously a lie, because Lao Wu of the Criminal Division is staring at the door with the arresters, and the Yushitai only has this front door, and it is impossible for Lin Jue to leave. This kind of lie also further confirmed that Lin Jue was likely to be in danger, otherwise why would Fang Dunru cover it up like this.
If you can't reason, you can only come to the hard one. Others may not dare to act rashly because of the prestige of the Yushitai Yamen, and they are afraid of the majesty of the imperial court. But where can the little county lord and Bai Bing and the others take care of anything else at the moment? The little county lord immediately ordered to rush into the yamen.
Bai Bing had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and was the first to rush up the steps at the entrance of the compound after getting permission. There were seven or eight officials guarding the door, and they didn't expect that the other party would really dare to break into the yamen, and when they saw Bai Bing rushing forward, they shouted and stopped.
Bai Bing didn't say a word, and showed the green flute and put down the three of them in the blink of an eye. The rest of the palace guards, Lin Hu and others rushed up and punched and kicked, instantly knocking over seven or eight gatekeepers to the ground, and the group poured into the compound and went straight to the entrance of the Zhongtang Ya.
This can poke a hornet's nest. There are also a lot of people in the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower, including the prison guards, and there are no less than 100 people in the yamen. For a while, the sound of gongs and warnings, the sound of whistles was dripping, people from all over the place flocked to it, and sixty or seventy people came to support it, blocking the door of the main office in the middle hall. The two sides are tense, and a fierce fight is about to break out.
"What a bold man, who are you? In broad daylight, he dared to break through and attack the Yamen of Yushitai. Are you going to die? Is this a rebellion? An official shouted angrily from the stairs.
The little county lord frowned and asked, "Which one are you?" ”
The official shouted: "This official is the Imperial Historical Observatory for Tang Que in the matter, and if you don't put down your sword immediately, otherwise, this official will not be polite." ”
The little county lord said coldly: "In the matter? You are not qualified to talk to me yet, so you Fang Zhongcheng came out to see me. ”
Tang Que pointed at the little county lord and said angrily: "You woman, you have such a big tone, you are really rude. In front of this official, he dares to be presumptuous. As a woman, showing her head in broad daylight, where is the woman's way? Are there any tutors? ”
"You are so bold, this is the small county lord of the Liang Wangfu today, you dare to be rude to the county lord, this is a crime, what crime should you deserve." One of the guards shouted.
"The county lord of the Liang Palace?" Tang Que was stunned, and suddenly he understood the identity of these people. "Even if the county lord arrives, he shouldn't force his way into the Yushitai Yamen and injure my yamen. Doesn't the county lord have to follow the rules? ”
Tang Que is a person from Yushitai and belongs to the list of officials. This type of person thinks that he has a lot of power to impeach others. Especially now that Fang Dunru is a celebrity in the court, and the imperial historians under him are all walking with their heads held high, so they actually refuted it immediately.
The little county lord made a look, Bai Bing's figure flickered, everyone's eyes flickered, Bai Bing had already arrived in front of Tang Que, and reached out and grabbed Tang Que's collar. This Tang Que is also a big person, and he feels that he has a lot of people, so he paced in front of the officials to speak. Bai Bing grabbed him effortlessly, and with a hard pull, Tang Que staggered forward, and fell in front of the little county lord and ate.
When he raised his head, Tang was bleeding and spat out two front teeth. Shicai knocked out two teeth on the bluestone on the ground, and this time it was really deserved, and it was really lacking. But it's just the teeth that are missing.
"How bold, you ...... Is it a rebellion? Tang Que shouted with his leaky mouth open.
"Offending the lord of this county, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. Palm mouth. The little county lord shouted coldly.
A guard stepped forward, grabbed Tang Que's hair bun and grabbed it, slapped it in front and back, slapped him several times in a row, and spurted blood all over Tang Que's mouth.
The officials shouted and began to approach forward. More than a dozen palace guards stepped forward with knives, and Yang Xiu also held a wooden stick and greeted Lao Wu and a few other catchers. A scuffle is about to begin. At this moment, a low cheer came from the yamen of the middle hall.
"Stop!"
Fang Dunru's iron face appeared on the steps in front of the yamen with a blue face. His face sank, and he was visibly exasperated. But he still maintained proper restraint and tried his best to maintain his demeanor. In fact, he had been sitting in the nave, but he just didn't want to show up.
In fact, from the time Yang Xiu began to inquire about the news, Fang Dunru knew that they were here to inquire about Lin Jue's news. But Fang Dunru wanted to keep Lin Jue in the yamen, even if it was an extra hour and half an hour, so he kept prevaricating. He thought that no one would dare to break into the Imperial Shitai Yamen, so he only had to refuse them, and they had no choice. And as long as Lin Jue stays in the yamen for a while, he is very likely to choose to cooperate with him.
What Fang Dunru did today was actually something he had already thought about. Detaining Lin Jue was not an impulsive move. Since the conversation with Lin Jue broke down that day, Fang Dunru decided to take strong measures against Lin Jue. However, although Lin Jue was an eyewitness to Guo Bing's murder, there is still a lack of evidence to support him if he is an accomplice. If he doesn't cooperate, he won't gain anything even if he asks in court. But Fang Dunru needed Lin Jue's cooperation, and he urgently needed to develop the whole case in the direction he needed, so he chose to detain Lin Jue in the prison.
This detention was of course temporary, but Fang received assurances from some people that they would cooperate within a few hours as long as the prisoner was in the cell. Because there are reasons in the prison for them to cooperate. Fang Dunru didn't want to know what kind of means they would use, in fact, Fang Dunru did hear about some secret things in the prison, and he also knew that some things were not in order. However, while Fang Dunru carried out drastic rectification of the Yushitai, he consciously did not study it deeply. Because in Fang Dunru's mind, these criminals should have been punished. When they were officials, they corrupted and perverted the law to prey on the people, and this is the retribution they deserve. The imperial court stipulated that officials were not allowed to use torture, and Fang Dunru was very dissatisfied with this rule, and he wanted to use the black rules in the prison to make these prisoners suffer.
Fang Dunru has never been the kind of person who is pedantic and stuck in a certain box, he is actually very good at adjusting his direction and code of conduct. As long as it is beneficial to the core things he pursues and achieves the goals he wants to achieve, he is really willing to try anything. Including sending Lin Jue to prison to force him to cooperate.
The warden and the cell boss told Fang Dunru that no one could survive the night without cooperation, sparing him a hundred steels, and entering the prison would become a twisting finger. Fang Dunru didn't want to know what dirty methods he had, he just wanted results. So after explaining not to hurt Lin Jue, he took Lin Jue into custody without hesitation and sent him to prison. He stalled, hoping to make it dark. Because he didn't delay a point, Lin Jue was very likely to choose to cooperate. That's why he was so perfunctory, just to keep Lin Jue here.
But who would have thought that he was so famous in the Yamen of Yushitai that others didn't even dare to look at it when they walked at the Yamen. This Wutai is like a terrible place like the palace of the king of Hades, and these wives and concubines of the Lin family actually rushed in with people. It's really rushing in, not only rushing in, but also a desperate posture. Tang Que was beaten and the ghost cried wolf, a fight was about to begin, he couldn't help but show up, he had to control the situation.
