In the prosperous and rich city of Chang'an, there are many waterwheels. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The family rode a white horse, hugging each other and passing through the crowd.

On both sides of the street, among the shops, there was shouting from time to time.

There are also women who sit in a small sedan chair, accompanied by maids, to play and go shopping.

Lively, peaceful!

All this, because thousands of elite horsemen broke into the streets, suddenly, broke the peaceful atmosphere in the streets.

Soon, in the East Market Fang, in more than a dozen mansions, there were exclamations and crying, which made the atmosphere in the East Market Square tense.

Thousands of cavalrymen, from different houses, shackles, tightly protected, took away the head of the house.

Leave the officers and soldiers, detain the men, women and children in the house, the master and the maids, and in the house, rummag through the boxes and cabinets, and search for them!

In half a day, Yan Yuefeng, Zhao Xuanhu and other generals, according to Yang Yue's orders, arrested the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, the counselor of Jingzhao Mansion, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, the prince Shao Zhan, etc., and more than ten officials were arrested!

All of them were imprisoned in prison.

Upon learning of Yang Yue's move, officials in Dongshifang who did not know why attacked one after another and impeached Yang Yue to the emperor.

It's a pity that the emperor accepted the fold, but he avoided the officials. There was no edict from the palace.

For a while, many shrewd officials seemed to smell something unusual in the actions of the emperor and Yang Yue.

can mix in Chang'an and be officials in the court, these people are all old oilmen who have been up and down in the sea for many years, observing words and feelings, judging the situation, and being a master.

All the officials kept silent about Yang Yue's order to his subordinates to arrest officials at all levels, let alone impeach Yang Yue.

They returned to their homes one after another, waiting for the emperor's edict, or talking about it in the court in early September.

Wang Mingfan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, went to the Imperial Palace, impeached Yang Yue and led the cavalry, surrounded the prison of the Criminal Department, and abused lynching in the cell.

In the inner palace, Gao Heng said that it was all up to King Yan!

Wang Mingfan left the palace, and the news was like a bird with wings, quickly spreading throughout the mansions of the nobles in Chang'an City.

All kinds of powerful people's exploits, in twos and threes, met in secret, and speculated about the intentions of the emperor and Yang Yue.

Yang Yue was lightning fast, jumped over the criminal department, arrested more than ten four or five officials, and designed civil and military generals, including the crown prince Shao Zhan.

The officials in Chang'an City, the nobles, did not dare to stay out of it, and they could not stay out of it, the matter came too suddenly, and they did not understand the cause and effect, and they could not sleep well.

………..

In Chang'an City, when rumors are spreading!

Criminal Department, Heavenly Prison!

The right guard and the flying cavalry army have 2,000 military horses, three layers inside and three layers outside, stationed outside the prison.

In the spring, Ye Qinghu personally led the troops, and according to Yang Yue's order, except for those with the emperor's order, no officials were allowed to enter the prison.

Those who violate the order will be killed!

The squire of the Criminal Department led several officials of the Criminal Department, and when Wang Mingfan had not yet conveyed the emperor's order, he stepped forward with courage, hoping to inquire about the cause and effect of the matter.

Garrisoned outside the prison, the flying cavalry, the right guard, kept silent, and drew his sword to face each other.

Frightened, the four civil officials of the Criminal Department looked worried, and they were forced to retreat one after another, and they didn't dare to come forward to find themselves bored.

The prison, the interrogation room.

This place, which seems to have been forgotten and spurned by people, is dim and full of rancid musty sour smell, and the occasional wind blows through the corridor, which makes people shudder.

In the molten iron cell, all kinds of torture instruments were scattered on all sides, and many walls were left with blood stains of unknown how many days and moons.

On the pillars on all sides, candles were lit, dim and cold, and in the depths of the cell, the occasional scream of the prisoner's torture was heard, which made people feel creepy.

In the prison, Yang Yue sat on the old Taishi chair, and tea and pastries were placed in the desk next to him.

Next to him, Yan Yuefeng and Zhao Xuanhu were dressed in armor, holding a saber in their hands, and their expressions were serious.

In front of the three of them, in the rancid interrogation room, more than a dozen prisoners were tied with iron chains on more than ten wooden stakes temporarily arranged!

Under the dim candlelight, the cheeks of more than a dozen prisoners were yellowed and full of fear. There were even people with chattering teeth and gurgling sounds.

Yan Yuefeng and the four of them attacked the mansions of various officials with lightning speed, and no direct evidence was found. But a moment ago, he met with Wu Changhui and learned that Wu Changhui had explained everything.

After a period of interrogation, these prisoners were lucky and refused to confess!

Yang Yue is not a good type, controls Wu Changde, holds a record book, and the evidence is ironclad, not afraid of officials such as the prince Shao Zhan Shi, and refuses to admit guilt.

Sweeping the officials with cold eyes, Yang Yue snorted, the teacup in his hand was heavily placed on the desk, and his voice said coldly: "This king has always been kind to people, and there is no grievance with you in the past, and there is no enmity in recent days.

At present, Wu Changhui confessed everything, and found evidence of your transfer of official silver in his mansion, if you are interested, honestly confess, avoid the pain of flesh and skin, if you do not confess, you will be punished. ”

After that, he took out the record book in his arms, slammed it on the desk, and glanced at the torture instrument next to him, and the new gadgets brought on the torture rack next to him.

Hearing the sound, more than a dozen criminal officials, panicked in their hearts, and secretly cursed Wu Changhui for being despicable, everyone did things with their heads, and he dared to record every transaction.

Yang Yue thoroughly investigated the matter, and Wu Changhui moved to push them all into the fire pit.

At this moment, whether or not to confess is related to the life and death of them and their respective clansmen, but they are worried that Yang Yue will deliberately deceive them and exceive them.

At this time, the crown prince Shao Zhan Shi, who was tied up in the center of the torture room, looked at Yang Yue, and said coldly: "King Yan, the villain is the prince's person, you are arresting the villain, and you are provoking the prince's status." ”

Yang Yue glanced at it, stared at the crown prince Shao Zhan Shi, and sneered: "Duan Ming, this king is not right about things, don't say that you are the eldest brother's person, even if someone in the palace breaks the law, and my father allows it, this king will also be arrested and interrogated mercilessly." ”

After that, Yang Yue coughed, slapped his palm on the desk, boom, violent vibration spread throughout the interrogation room, Yang Yue said coldly: "If you confess honestly, leave your whole body, if you are lucky, an official will recruit you, and this king will be the first to kill you." ”

"Lord Wang, you have wronged a good person, you want to bend into a trick, and deliberately implicate the prince, what is your intention?" Duan Ming was lucky, the duck beak was hard, and he insisted that Yang Yue framed the prince, and he might not dare to use his personal deeds against him.

After all, the transfer of official money is a capital crime, whether to recruit or not, it is all in the catastrophe, Duan Ming has lived in the East Palace for a long time, serving the prince, and has a bit of courage and scheming.

"Bastard, who gave you dog guts!" Yang Yue laughed and clapped his palms.

Glancing at the officials who were tied up on all sides, he asked again: "Confess in advance, avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and this king will protect your people." ”

Luoyin, in the interrogation room, there were still many birds, and in a few breaths, no one responded to Yang Yue.

Angry in his heart, Yang Yue waved his hand and signaled: "Yan Zhonglang, Zhao Zhonglang, move the punishment!" ”

Hearing this, the two of them quickly set off, picked up the mulberry paper that had been prepared in advance, carried the wine jug, and walked to the prisoners with a smile on their faces from the tray placed in the torture rack next to them. (To be continued.) )
