Chapter 191: Heavenly Prison

Yang Guang's surprise is not trivial: in the past two days, he has been full of thought that he has a talent for investigating and solving cases, and almost relying on step-by-step reasoning, he has arrested Xian Hua'er, a spy from Nanchen who has been lurking in Chang'an for seven or eight years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, Zhang Zhongjian appeared there on the night of the inventory of the stone house, and then carefully recalled the before and after Xian Hua'er was arrested by himself, Yang Guang involuntarily appeared in his mind with two obvious loopholes: first, from Xian Hua'er's confession, Zhang Zhongjian was never mentioned, as if Xian Hua'er did not know that this person existed; Second, according to the situation on the night when Yu Juluo took him to visit the Stone House Courtyard, he and Yu Juluo clearly took Sima Luo to escape from the Stone House Courtyard quietly through the Sweet Water Road Secret Passage after everyone in the Stone House Courtyard was asleep, if the group of blood bats that appeared in the Secret Passage were raised by Xian Huaer in the Secret Passage, in order to prevent some pleasure seekers from saying goodbye in the middle of the night, then Zhang Zhongjian, who was ambushed at the exit of the Secret Passage, was more like he was temporarily sent there, that is to say, he and Yu Juluo, Sima Luo and the other three had just left the Stone House Courtyard, Someone found out, and it was this person who assigned Zhang Zhongjian to lie in wait at the exit of the secret passage and launch a sneak attack.

The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more he felt that on the night of Xian Hua's interrogation, his attention was focused on Xian Hua and Guan Zizi, and he ignored another important person, Zhang Zhongjian.

"Thank you, this king does have the heart to save your life, and what you will do in the future is all up to you. If I think of any more important clues, I can ask the sergeant on guard here to report it to me. As soon as Yang Guang thought of this, he no longer hesitated, hurriedly explained two sentences to Xie Wei, and then took Xian Yuluo and Zhang Xutuo out of the small courtyard, but did not go back to the Jin Wangfu across the street, but walked straight towards the outside of the northeast.

"Lord, are we going to the palace? The prince, please wait, the little one will go and prepare a donkey for the prince. Xian Yuluo hurriedly asked Yang Guang to leave a little later so that he could prepare his mount.

"No need." Yang Guang's footsteps not only did not stop, but sped up, "Zhang Xutuo, Xian Yuluo, you two remember, tonight's matter is not allowed to mention to anyone in the future without the permission of this king." ”

When Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo heard this, they glanced at each other, and they didn't understand where Yang Guangshen was going in the middle of the night, so they had to say yes, and silently escorted Yang Guang all the way out of the gate and walked towards the east of Chang'an City.

Although the three of them had been interrogated by two or three sergeants patrolling the night along the way, because Zhang Xutuo was wearing the waist card of Sergeant Qianniuwei, it was quite smooth.

When he walked to the door of a small courtyard that he didn't know where, Yang Guang stopped and instructed Zhang Xutuo: "You go and call the door, and order the hall official who is on duty here to come out to see me." ”

Zhang Xutuo was too dark to see the plaque hanging on the courtyard gate, and was about to take out the fire pleats he carried with him to light it, when he heard Yang Guang scolding him behind him: "Don't light the fire, just call the door." ”

"Papapa......" Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to get to the gate of the courtyard in the dark, raised his hand, and knocked heavily on the door.

After about a cup of tea, Fang heard someone in the courtyard ask angrily: "Who is it, you came to slam the door in the middle of the night, don't you know what place this is?" ”

With the sound of footsteps, the courtyard door "creaked" and opened a gap. The people in the courtyard stretched out half of their heads and looked into the dark shadows outside the courtyard, and asked impatiently, "Who is standing in the dark shadows outside, why do you slam the door in the middle of the night?" ”

"Sensei asks so much." Zhang Xutuo replied in a low voice, "Go back and report to your master, just say that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is waiting outside the door, and tell him to leave the hospital to greet him quickly." ”

"King Jin?" The man who opened the door was obviously taken aback, and his tone immediately became much softer, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and go back." ”

The three of them waited outside the courtyard for another quarter of an hour before they saw the courtyard door open again. Two sergeant-like people carried lanterns in front of them, followed by a middle-aged man in a silk robe, stepped out of the courtyard, and looked at Yang Guang and the other three people by the light, as if they recognized Yang Guang, hurriedly ran down the steps, and bowed to Yang Guang and said: "The lower official didn't know that the prince was coming, so he asked the prince to wait outside the door for a long time, and hoped that the prince would forgive him." ”

"The Nan Chen traitor Xian Hua'er that this king got two days ago is being detained in you?" Yang Guang was not polite to the visitor, and explained his intention straight to the point.

"Back to the prince, Xian Hua'er was only moved to this courtyard yesterday by order to be detained." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that you must also know that all the prisoners imprisoned in this courtyard are not allowed to be visited by anyone without the emperor's holy decree......

"This king is not here to visit Xian Hua'er, but has a few important words to ask her in person. You should bring Xian Hua'er to the torture hall in the courtyard to see this king now, and you have missed this king's errand, you have to be careful. Yang Guang knew that this was the so-called "heavenly prison" where his father Yang Jian secretly held important prisoners in the imperial court, and that no one was allowed to visit and interrogate the prisoners held here without following the holy decree, so he deliberately put on a good shelf and instructed the middle-aged humane in vague terms.

In charge of guarding the "Heavenly Prison" were the generals and sergeants under the command of the emperor's left and right leading guards, who were the most trusted by the emperor in the guard. Since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was originally the turn of the left and right generals who were on duty here tonight, and Dugu Tuo, the half-brother of Queen Dugu Jialuo, was temporarily lazy and went back to his house to drink reunion wine with his family, leaving only one of his generals to stay here. This other general recognized Yang Guang, and heard Yang Guang say that he had been sent here to interrogate Xian Hua'er, where did he dare to ask more, and hurriedly welcomed Yang Guang and the other three to the execution hall in the courtyard to sit down, and ordered someone to immediately bring Xian Hua'er to be tried.

Xian Hua'er was woken up by the sergeant in her sleep, and when she was brought into the torture hall with a heavy flail on her neck, she was still in a daze, staring at her with a pair of loose sleepy eyes for a long time before she recognized Yang Guanglai, and couldn't help but smile miserably, and asked Yang Guangdao: "The prince came late at night, but he wants to send me to heaven?" ”

Yang Guang saw that Xian Hua'er had already mentioned it, so he ordered the general on duty and the sergeant under a cadre to withdraw from the torture hall first, and then replied with a smile: "Aunt Hua, you think too much." This king is here tonight to ask you a few more words. ”

"What should be said and what can be said, I have already told the prince and the prince." Xian Hua'er confirmed that Yang Guang did not come to secretly execute her, her heart calmed down, and without waiting for Yang Guang's orders, she sat down in front of Yang Guang, turned her back to the sky, took a long breath, and asked, "But I don't know what news the prince wants to get from my mouth?" ”
