Dali Temple is already ready, up to the temple, down to the temple, officials, etc., are all ready.

Although the meaning of the cabinet is very clear, what to do is done, but after all, there has been no offense on the side of Dali Temple for some years. Everyone was in good spirits and cheered up.

Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty, the status has become more and more embarrassing, ordinary serious cases, most of them have the criminal department to deal with, and once the official commits a crime, originally according to the rules of the court is the Dali Temple is in charge, but the rules are the rules, the reality is the reality, Dali Temple wants to manage and can't manage, Beizhen Mansion Division and the East Investigation Factory have already done their original errands.

As a result, Dali Temple was tragic, during the Qin and Han dynasties, when Dali Temple was still called Tingwei, what a scene? Even if it is on a par with the officials, no one dares to question it. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the status was also significant, which made people frightened. Now, it has become the audit agency of the Criminal Department.

To put it bluntly, the officials' cases do not have their part in interfering, and they have Dongchang and Jinyiwei to do the work on their behalf, while serious and important cases are tried by the Criminal Department, and then the files are sent to Dali Temple for review.

Suddenly such a prisoner, no wonder Dali Temple up and down the mess, after all, there was no experience in the past, you have to turn over the Dali Temple's legal code.

First of all, it is necessary to place the prisoners, the current Dali Temple, the cell is there, but it has been vacant for many years, and the cell head and the like are even more lacking, everyone discussed it, Dali Temple does not, the criminal department and the edict prison have, the jailer of the town government department is not invited, but the criminal department is a brother department, can invite a few to come.

There is also the treatment of a prisoner, is he a prisoner, or is he an ordinary repeat offender? It is easy to say that the prisoner can be treated better, even if he is a prisoner.

survived this rush, and finally reluctantly arranged.

On the other side, Liu Chengfeng had arrived, and the officers and soldiers of the Jingwei Command Department were not embarrassed for him, and his tone was very polite.

Liu Chengfeng was escorted to a desolate cell in the backyard of Dali Temple, probably because it had just been urgently repaired, this cell was quite clean, there was only a table and a chair in the room, and a small couch, probably to take care of his prisoners, and a screen was placed in front of the urine bucket in the corner.

However, the light here is a little dim, only a small skylight, Liu Chengfeng sat in the dark, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the cobwebs of smallpox in a daze.

Ask yourself, if he was asked to make another decision, he might not have made the current choice, but since he had a choice, Liu Chengfeng did not regret it.

"Cell boss, is there a light?" After a short period of loss, Liu Chengfeng cheered up again, no matter where he was, the days would always pass, and there was no light, Liu Chengfeng felt very uncomfortable.

The head of the cell came from the side of the criminal department, and when he heard Liu Chengfeng's words, he walked outside the door, there was a fist-sized hole in the door, and the cell head looked lazily and looked inside, and then sneered: "Lamp? Are you still the old man? Any idea what this place is? This is the Criminal Department...... No, the cell of Dali Temple, still want a lamp? What a joke! Be honest, dare to mess around, and be careful of your skin. ”

This old man's surname is Deng, his name is Deng Long, and he was dispatched to this Dali Temple, after all, he was seconded from elsewhere, so Dali Temple treated him politely. I also heard that Liu Chengfeng was a prisoner, and I heard that he had killed a lot of people and had several major crimes on his head, so he was not polite to Liu Chengfeng at all.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be angry, but he was helpless.

At night, there are many mosquitoes here, Liu Chengfeng tosses and turns, and he can't sleep, thinking of his wife at home, facing the small skylight, looking at the moonlight outside.

Moreover, the stomach was also very hungry, and the cell boss sent a few cooking cakes in the evening, but they were obviously rancid, and they were lost by Liu Chengfeng, and they were ridiculed by the cell boss for a while.

This night, Liu Chengfeng didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he heard the cell head outside scolding: "***, Lao Tzu kindly gave you a cooking cake, but you threw it out, don't you know how to die?" ”

Liu Chengfeng heard the cell boss scolding, so he shouted: "Who is Sun Tzu scolding? ”

"It's you thief who scolds!" Cell boss Deng Long scolded. But after thinking about it casually, he was tricked, didn't he become his grandson?

Deng Long couldn't help but be furious, and said viciously: "The thief dares to scold grandpa, if you have the ability, come out and see if grandpa doesn't kill you." ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing, so he said, "Okay, then you let me out." ”

This Deng Long was speechless outside, and he felt that he was not angry with a thief prisoner, and the reason why he lost his square inch was because when he was in the prison of the Criminal Department, which prisoner dared to contradict him like this? This person is a Qin criminal, otherwise Deng Long would have dragged two errand officers in and beat him up.

He pulled two errand men under the corridor outside, ordered some wine and food to eat, Liu Chengfeng has not eaten since yesterday, the fragrance of wine and food came in, hooked his gluttonous worms to drill out, Suo Xing lay back on the couch and pretended to sleep.

That Deng Long was full of wine and food, so he happily picked his teeth while shouting and scolding outside: "Dog, dare to collide with the uncle and starve you to death." ”

Deng Long saw that Liu Chengfeng did not reply, so he asked someone to bring a chair and lie there comfortably to recuperate, which is more comfortable than the prison of the Criminal Department, and this prisoner is only afraid that it will take ten days and half a month to pass the trial, taking advantage of this time, it is just right for him to recuperate. After all, in the past, one person with a few people was in charge of hundreds of thieves and prisoners, but now he only needs to look at one, idle and free.

Lying comfortably under the eaves of this roof and basking in the sun for a while, Deng Long found that there was no movement at all in this cell, and muttered in his heart, isn't this kid starving to death?

starved to death and pulled down, Deng Long sneered, and lay comfortably on the chair, a thief prisoner, or a prisoner, committed such a big case, I heard that even the palace was furious, and the beheading was light, maybe he would be beheaded all over the house, don't pay attention to him.

was napping, he heard the sound of slow footsteps, Deng Long opened his eyes, and in the gap of his eyes, a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow flying fish suit appeared, this middle-aged man was wearing official boots, wearing a beam crown, and a straight face, with his own bearing. Behind is followed by a hall official of Dali Temple, who shouted at Deng Long: "Cell head, open the door, this is the father-in-law of the Qin prisoner, and the commander of the Nanzhen Mansion Si Jinyi Wei is here to visit the prison." ”

When Deng Long heard this, his eyes were about to fall out, and he glanced at this big man in disbelief, what kind of official is the commander? That's a dignified military attache of the third grade! Plus it's still the military attache of the Jinyi Guard, this is amazing! To put it mildly, don't say it's a nonsense, it's just a brocade guard thousand households, and Deng Long has never seen it.

Such a man should go to see the thief and prisoner?

Deng Long was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and the two tui couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly squeezed out a little laugh and said, "Big ...... Come with me, sir. ”

He didn't dare to say a word, untied the key in his waist, opened the door with trembling hands, pushed the door open, and saw Liu Chengfeng sleeping inside, but Deng Long was thinking at this time, this thief ...... No, is this prisoner fainting from hunger? If so......

Fortunately, this big official went in, didn't say anything, glanced at Deng Long, and said, "You are waiting outside." When Deng Long walked out, the senior official closed the door.

Liu Chengfeng heard the movement, and when he saw that it was Wen Zheng, he immediately sat up from the couch.

Wen Zheng looked at him, and seeing that he was not angry, the angry face he had just put on couldn't help but relax, sighed, and said, "Chenxi and Chenruo are also outside, but I didn't call them in, so as not to make people sad." ”

As he spoke, he sat down, glanced at Liu Chengfeng deeply, and said: "This matter is too big, Your Majesty has been diligent for so many years, and it is not easy to maintain a situation of Zhongxing, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, some people are in turmoil, and some people are suppressed, these two things are inseparable from you, think about it, Long Yan is furious, can you afford it?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Chengfeng to speak, Wen Zheng continued: "Fortunately, Commander Mu has already convened everyone to discuss when he comes back from the palace, and the commander has said that the rights and wrongs of this matter have not yet been decided, and now they have been notified to all thousands and hundreds of households to investigate this matter in detail. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Lord Taishan, the son-in-law has actually been waiting here for a long time. ”

Wen Zheng hesitated for a moment in his eyes and said, "Oh? You said. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly first: "This time I acted too much, but in retrospect, although he was in prison, his son-in-law had no regrets. However, since the commander and Lord Taishan are willing to run for the little son-in-law, the little son-in-law has one thing to explain, after Lord Taishan goes out, he immediately goes to find a general flag called Lao Huo, and he will give Lord Taishan a witness. ”

Wen Zheng nodded and said, "Old man, remember, it seems that you are not completely discouraged, and you can still plan this now, very good." ”

Wen Zheng hesitated for a moment and continued: "My father-in-law, I used to look down on you, and always felt that you were a useless scholar, and made things difficult for you in every way, don't take it to heart, although you are too impulsive this time, it can be regarded as the behavior of a big husband, do you know that the old man was sent to Liaodong to do 100 households?" At that time, I already understood the truth that life and death are fate, wealth and wealth are in heaven, and some things must be done even if there are thousands of obstacles. ”

"But ......" Wen Zheng smiled at Liu Chengfeng and said: "You are much more indulgent than the old man, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you say you go to quell the rebellion, you will quell the rebellion, and if you say you kill someone, you will kill people, hey...... It is not good to be upright and scheming. ”

"You are a prisoner, the old man came in or entrusted the relationship, I'm afraid I can't say too much, what do you have to explain, you can talk to the old man."

Liu Chengfeng thought for a while, and then said: "Lord Taishan, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

“……”

Wen Zheng was stunned for a moment.
