Lei Yue Longmen

Chapter 152

The prison van entered the city, which aroused the onlookers and pointers of the people in the city.Cen Zhu felt ashamed, and knocked on the fence, "Brother Guancha, can we hurry up?"

The officer in charge of the escort said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cen, you are so famous. The common people ran to the street to see the news, and they couldn't drive you away. No, the road ahead is blocked! Eunuch Tao has sent Not many people asked for help from the City Patrol Division? In a short while, officers and soldiers would sound the gong to clear the way!"

Cen Zhu was speechless, good things never go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!After a while, Lou Manguan led the people from the Xicheng Division to rush to disperse the onlookers.

Arriving in front of the prison van, "What's going on, Cen Zhu, what happened to you?"

Cen Zhu smiled wryly: "It's hard to say!"

Next to her was an aunt leading the child, pointing at the tearful child and scolding, "Did you see it? This is today's Cen No. What's going on now, you've been put in a prison van. It's the same parade/street, look at her now! You have to learn from her in the future, and steal the family's copper gluttons, and you will end up like her in the future!"

"You can't say that, auntie!" Cen Zhu cried out in his heart, "Your son stole coins because he didn't learn well, so it's none of my business?"

Chuan Feiyan happened to take his daughter out to play today, sitting upstairs eating melon seeds, saw Cen Zhu's prison car passing by, thought he had misread it, but after inquiring about it, he realized that he was right.He hugged Xiaoxia and went downstairs, looked at the back of the prison car, and said to Xiaoxia: "Did you see it? I don't know which plague god your miserable uncle has offended! No, I can't stand it anymore, I have to notify my family as soon as possible."

It wasn't until he was thrown into the Tian Prison, which is famous for detaining serious criminals, that Cen Zhu's ears were quiet for a while.

The conditions of this sky prison are much better than ordinary prison cells. The surrounding and ground are closed with brick walls, forming a small room with beds and drowning buckets, which are specially used to detain serious criminals with status.Except that it is darker and more humid than the room at home, without the sun and freedom, other aspects are also very similar.

As soon as Cen Zhu arrived, he lay down on the bed, curled up in pain.After resting for half an hour, I heard a clanging sound coming from the long corridor outside the iron gate, accompanied by the officers and soldiers shouting, it seemed that some serious criminals had been taken into the dungeon.

Cen Zhu got out of bed, staggered to the iron gate, and looked out the small window.I saw a tall figure with chains wrapped around his hands and feet, standing at the door of the opposite cell, looking down and waiting for the prisoner to open the door.Looking at the person and shape, who is it but Qin Liang?

When she was excited, she was about to yell.But after thinking about it, Qin Liang was put in prison, which means that he failed to report Tu Yuanshan.I don't know if there is an informant of Tu Yuanshan in this prison, I can't recognize each other rashly, lest Qin Lang feel more crisis.When Qin Liang was taken into the cell, Cen Zhu calculated that half an hour had passed before he began to slam on the iron door and shouted, "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"

Hearing this familiar voice in the prison, Qin Liang was shocked, and hurriedly dragged the chain to the window.He lowered his head and saw half of Cen Zhu's face from the opposite side. He was gesticulating with him with his hand stretched out at the window, which clearly meant: "Wait a while!"

Oh my god, what a pity! Thanks to the brother who grew up with Master Xuan'an and learned this silent way of communication, he was able to understand the meaning of the other party in such an extremely critical juncture.Qin Liang understood, nodded towards Cen Zhu, and hid behind the wall before the guards arrived.

"What are you shouting for, what are you shouting for?" The prison guard stood in front of Cen Zhuo's door where there was a commotion, and scolded ferociously.Cen Zhu said: "My poor man, I'm a little hungry, can you do me a favor and get me something to eat?"

"What are you shouting about? It's not even the hour yet!"

"Then how long is it before dinner?"

"There is still more than an hour, just wait!"

After the prisoner left, Qin Liang showed his face through the window again.He? Because of his height, he had to squat down a little bit to get half of his face out of the narrow window, and raised his hand to gesture to Cen Zhuo, "Why are you here?"

For a moment, Cen Zhu didn't know how to explain. To cut a long story short, "I offended the second princess because of some misunderstandings. However, there is still a chance to go to the hall to make a statement, and I will definitely prove my innocence at that time."

"Brother? You really sued Tu Yuanshan? Why are you so stupid?"

Qin Liang was speechless for a long time, and raised his hand to gesture, but the chains on his hand jingled, which was very inconvenient.He pulled the chain with one hand and gestured with the other: "There are some things I have to do."

"Is there anything that must be done? It has been 20 years since that incident, and the Tu family's power is stronger than before. Father failed to succeed back then, and now you are alone. How? How can you move him?"

"It is precisely because twenty to ten years have passed that I have to mention it. Otherwise, everyone will completely forget about it! Ah Zheng, you will not be able to take revenge!"

"You are for me...?" Cen Zhu was stunned.

"Ah Zheng, my brother is useless. I thought that even if I couldn't bring down Tu Yuanshan this time, I could bite him off? A pinch of hair. Who knew that Tu Yuanshan would be so cunning and cunning. Not only forcibly removed the suspicion, but also framed me with an army , I lost this battle before it even started.”

Cen Zhu recovered from his surprise, "Didn't you hold the evidence? If those burial sites are discovered, Tu Yuanshan will never be able to explain them clearly."

"No more, no more!" Qin Liang gestured in pain, "I don't know who leaked the news first, but the three burial pits I found before have all been moved! Although the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate are still there We found traces of soil renovation, but we couldn’t find a bone, so we couldn’t prove that it was the place where the corpse was buried.”

"Aren't there any three pits?"

"no!"

Cen Zhu also guessed no.Because of this incident, the Metropolitan Procuratorate formed a big relationship with the Tu family. If there is evidence to attack Tu Yuanshan, they will definitely not let it go easily.This means that it really doesn't exist.

"Yesterday, Tu Yuanshan returned to Beijing and defended himself in the court hall, claiming that 'the one who cleans himself will be cleared', regardless of my accusations against him, and pretended to be magnanimous to intercede for me so that I would not die. Say yes, I don't want anyone to do it for me anymore. This is sacrifice!" Qin Liang sneered.

Cen Zhuo said: "That incident dealt a great blow to the reputation of the Tu family. He? He put on a show in the court, just to gain a good name for himself."

"That's right! I was almost deceived by him at the beginning, and that night, he devised a conspiracy to murder me and set me up for death! This morning, the censor attacked me!"

Cen Zhuo realized: "He? This trick not only won a good reputation, but also eradicated dissidents. It should not be taken lightly." Suddenly, a thought flashed in Cen Zhuo's mind, "Wait! You mean, Tu Yuanshan just entered yesterday. Jing's?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No, it was half a month ago when I met him, and he was trapped on the mountain for seven days because of something. Ordinarily, he should have arrived in Beijing a long time ago. How could he come to Beijing at the same time as me?"

"It is said that he once led his troops to help repair the dam on the bank of the Zhuo River, which was delayed for a few days."

"No, no, he had already finished repairing the embankment and left!" Could it be... Cen Zhu frowned and thought, "Brother, when did you sue Tu Yuanshan? When did the Metropolitan Procuratorate go to inspect the burial site?" of?"

"Speaking of it, I am depressed. It has been a month and a half since I submitted the memorial. It was not until half a month ago that the emperor sent people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the burial pit. The report came back the day before yesterday and found nothing. A whole month passed in the middle. Beijiang can run back and forth several times, is there any corpse pit that can't be transferred?"

"This shows that the emperor doesn't want the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find the corpse pit!" Cen Zhu signed with a serious expression, "Brother, the hole you poked out can't even be mended by the imperial court. Have you ever thought about it, if Tu Yuanshan is really determined?" Sin, what will happen if the Northern Xinjiang is directly reversed? The imperial court gave Tu Yuanshan a month to clean up the mess, because he didn't want to tear himself apart with him. If he doesn't even bother to clean up the mess, it means he really It’s going to be the other way around. He brought more than 1000 people with him on this trip, and it’s likely that he moved the corpse pit!”

"No," Cen Zhu was suddenly startled again, and waved his hands anxiously and asked, "Brother? Let me ask you, is the corpse pit you pointed out in Zhuohe River?"

"Yes, there is one on the south bank of the Zhuohe River, not far from the Zhuohe River. The Northern Frontier Army used to kill refugees there in the name of calming chaos and buried their bodies on the spot. What's wrong?"

"I think this Tu Yuanshan may be turned against him."

"how you said that?"

Qin Liang was startled, and the chains on his body rang.At this time, footsteps came from the end of the corridor, and the two quickly hid behind the door. After the prisoner escorted a felon out, they walked out of the gate along the corridor.Qin Liang went back to the window again, anxiously waiting for Cen Zhu to show his face and continue talking.

But after waiting for a long time, Cen Zhu finally showed his head at the window.

"Ah Zheng? What exactly do you mean?"

Cen Zhu gestured worriedly: "I hope my judgment is wrong. Senior brother, if it were you, I would give you a month to mobilize 1000 people to transfer the corpse pit. How long will it take you to complete the transfer?" ?”

Qin Liang said: "The three corpse pits are not very big. If they are dug during the day, they can be dug in two days, and they can be finished with a fire. If they are dug carefully, it will take four or five days!"

"Yeah, counting the marching time, those pits can actually be dealt with in less than a month. But what about Tu Yuanshan! When I met him? He was still marching slowly on the south bank. Obviously he hadn't dug the third hole yet. They should know that if the censor digs it, he will go from south to north, and the third hole must be dug first. If it is you, you must hurry up and move the one on the south bank first. But he didn't. He? Doesn't seem to care much about the evidence anymore!"

"How do you know him? No? What if he dug the south bank first and then turned back?"

"No, no! It was a flood season on the south bank for a month. It was raining, and the river was soaring! There was a possibility of breaking the dike at any time. Tu Yuanshan is a good soldier in marching and fighting, and he would not let the troops go back and forth through the dangerous river. And? Moreover, once the embankment breaks, there is a possibility of not coming back.”

"Maybe, he was delayed by the flood season?"

"Yes, it's also possible that it was delayed by the flood season. It's possible, but I can't be sure. Of course, it's also possible that people from Beijing helped him dig it. However, if you want to eliminate the criminal evidence in a grand manner, you don't want to If someone finds out, the person who helped him must have a lot of background. Brother, I always have a feeling that he? This time, the person who came here was not kind!"

Qin Liang: "Do you think he might rebel?"

Cen Zhu: "Yes. When the power reaches a certain level, anyone has the possibility of rebellion. Unless he? Like Master, he can see through the world. But he? It's Tu Yuanshan, an ambitious man in his own right. ? One hundred thousand troops."

What Cen Zhu is most worried about has not yet been said. If Tu Yuanshan wants to rebel, then Li Jingzhu is his best springboard.There is no better opportunity than to support one's own grandchildren.

"Forget it, it's useless to just guess about these things. The most important thing now is to help you get cleared of the crime! Brother, please tell me the whole story of your being framed by others. After you get out, I will definitely help you get cleared." crime, get you out."

The conversation was divided into two parts. After Li Jingxi flew into the city, Li Pinghong was discussing politics with the ministers in the imperial study.I haven't come out for a long time.

She waited anxiously outside, and wanted to break in directly, but was stopped by Cai Ya directly.

"Second? Princess, it's not a joke this time. You must not go in, be careful not to offend the emperor."

"Is your father in a bad mood?"

"Isn't it!" The emperor is completely devastated now.

"Then I'll wait for him outside?!"

Director Cai failed to persuade her, so he had to let her sit on the steps with her knees hugged, and soon fell asleep.

"Dai Jing? Dai Jing!" Li Pinghong listened to Cai Ya's careful report, put down his official duties and came out to see her.

"Quick, get the cloak!"

Li Jingxi woke up, saw Li Pinghong, rubbed his eyes in a daze, "Father!" As soon as he said it, it turned out to be a strong nasal voice.

"Why do you just sit on the rock and don't go in? It's such a cold day, do you have a cold? Put this on!"

"I'm afraid of disturbing my father!"

"You child, don't do this next time!"

After inviting the imperial physician, he rested in the dormitory of the imperial study.The diagnosis said that it was blown by the wind and caught a cold.Someone reported that the second princess came on horseback.

Li Jingxi didn't care about anything, and asked Li Pinghong to release Cen Zhu with a scorching face.

"Silly girl, let him go? What about your reputation?"

"That incident was nothing at all. We didn't pay homage, we didn't get married, we didn't have anything at all! Cen Zhu was wronged, father, you should decree to let her go!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make an order tomorrow!"

"Today! Today!"

"How could it be so fast! Didn't the father become the emperor who changed the order from day to day? Words don't count!"

"...Okay, then you must let him go tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay! Be sure to let it go! Go to sleep quickly, look at the little blushing."

"Oh……"
