Chapter 608
"Hey, the environment here is not bad."

In front of the new prison gate of the Ministry of Punishment, Lin Chao looked around, and finally let out a heartfelt sigh.

This prison was built with funds allocated by the Ministry of Households after the Ministry of Punishments established its authority, and it was only recently completed.

Because it is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, it is named: Punishment Prison.

Although Lin Chao has never experienced prison life in this era, he can tell that the facilities and conditions in all aspects of this newly built prison are quite good.

At least it is not as cold and humid as imagined, and the sky is dark.

But think about it, people will naturally get sick in a cold and humid environment for a long time, and most of them are infectious diseases.In the event of an outbreak, the soldiers guarding the prison will also suffer.

Although there are all criminals inside, these criminals cannot be allowed to die in prison on a large scale.So a dry environment is still necessary.

Moreover, Lin Chao has always believed that it is meaningless to torture these criminals with punishment and environment.

The only meaningful thing is to let them serve as corvees and do hard work!
For every one of them who served in corvee, one of the people from good families could be vacated.Whether joining the army, or carrying out production, or taking care of farming, in short, it is a great thing for the country and the people.

Seeing Lin Chao standing at the door and not going in, Zhang He sighed with emotion, and couldn't help reminding: "Supervisor, this is the new prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The general has already found out, and Zhenfu Cheng will be imprisoned in it."

That's right, Lin Chao is here to see Zhen Yan.

The conflict that broke out in front of the Zhen Mansion in the morning spread throughout Tan County in just half a day.

Naturally, the Lin family was no exception. After learning that his brother was almost hacked to death by someone, and then was taken into prison by Xun Yu, Zhen Yao's complexion changed immediately, and he wanted to ask Zhao Yun and Lin Xi for help.

As for the reason why Zhen Yao chose to be far away, it is also easy to understand. Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao are Zhao Yun and Lin Xi's regular wives, and when they see Zhen Yao, they have to call out "brother".

And Zhen Jiang is just Lin Chao's concubine, and her status and right to speak in the mansion are incomparable.Before his elder brother Zhen Yan was imprisoned, he was still able to strike up a conversation with Lin Chao, but now he was left alone, and he was worried that he would not even be able to see Lin Chao face to face.

But after Zhen Jiang got the news, he stopped Zhen Yao and ran to cry with Xun Cai instead.

Although women do not interfere in political affairs, Zhen Jiang repeatedly stated that he just asked Lin Chao to investigate thoroughly.If her elder brother commits a criminal offense, then she has nothing to say. If her elder brother is wronged, she will ask Lin Chao to uphold justice for him.

Xun Cai was so disturbed by her crying that she had no choice but to make an exception and ask Lin Chao.

This is the first time that Xun Cai has asked Lin Chao since the fight with Cai Yan last time.

In fact, all of this was within Lin Chao's expectations, but the tigress at home came out in person, and it was a reasonable request, so Lin Chao didn't dare to lose face, so he decided to go out for a stroll.

Looking at the prison in front of him, Lin Chao walked up the steps step by step, but when he was about to enter, he was stopped by the guard at the gate.

Glancing at the jailer who blocked him, Lin Chao's eyes were full of surprise.

At the boundary of Tan County, someone actually stopped him!

Lin Chao suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

Probably because he had been in a high position for a long time, Lin Chao's first reaction was just astonishment, and he was not very angry.

But Zhang Yun next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately shouted: "Presumptuous, Lin Changshi is here, let him go!"

Hearing the words 'Lin Changshi', the jailer was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed dramatically. While cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he still struggled and clasped his fists and said: "There is an order from the left servant, but there is no order from the Ministry of Punishment. No one is allowed to do so." In and out of the prison, please Chang Shi Mo to embarrass the villain!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao hadn't said anything yet, but Zhang He had already drawn out the sword at his waist.

What is Lin Chao's identity?
Xuzhou Civil and Military Officials No.1!
Not to mention those great talents in governing the country in the inner mansion, even if they have fought in the battlefield for many years and have countless blood on their hands, who among the famous generals in the military machine mansion would dare to speak loudly in front of Lin Changshi!
But the person in front of him was just a soldier who was not even an official, so he dared to be so presumptuous, causing Zhang He to be murderous for a while, and he was ready to kill this person with a knife.

"Jun Yi, spare his life!"

Just when the sword in Zhang He's hand was about to fall, Lin Chao suddenly stopped talking.

"Supervisor, if this beast dares to disrespect you, please allow the general to execute him on the spot!"

Zhang He sternly said, but the long sword in his hand did not leave the jailer's neck.

"He is also acting according to orders, but it is just a chess in the hands of others." Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, "If someone cares about a chess piece, he will lose his status for nothing."

Seeing that the jailer was in awe of him, but he had no choice but to stop him, Lin Chao already understood that someone must have ordered death behind him.

If you don't let yourself in, you will probably kill him in a fit of anger.

But if he let himself in, the people behind him might kill his whole family.

This should be the reason why he was struggling in his heart just now. Speaking of which, he is also an innocent and pitiful person caught in the middle, so why should he vent his anger on such weak people.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao suddenly asked, "Junyi, who is the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zhang He thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the Supervising Army, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment is now a son of a family named Lu Jun."

Lu Jun?

Lin Chao searched in his mind for quite a while before finally remembering this person.

Lu Jun, courtesy name Jicai, was born in the Lu family of Wu County, one of the four major families of Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang in Jiangdong.

There are not many records about Lu Jun in history, but he made a special contribution, that is, he gave birth to a good son.

His eldest son was Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, the later prime ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

After accepting Zhuge Liang as his apprentice, Lin Chao originally wanted to send someone to Jiangdong to bring Lu Xun over, but he was so busy afterwards, and the Lu family was a big family that it was difficult to snatch people, so he gave up.

I never thought that the Lu family of Wu County would send it to the door by himself, but it's a pity that he was on the wrong team.

It depends on the situation, if Lu Jun is determined to follow those Kanto families all the way to the dark, no matter how good Lu Xun is, he has to give up this good seedling.

Judging from the current situation, relying on the power in their hands, those aristocratic families have begun to infiltrate the entire inner palace, trying to control more power that does not belong to them.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao couldn't help laughing.

These people have no achievements in military use, and they are incompetent in governing the country. They don't want to fight for power and profit, but they have extremely high talents.But in just one or two months, even I was restricted by them.

Seeing Lin Chao's sudden laugh, Zhang Yun was in a daze, but the next moment he received Lin Chao's order.

"Junyi, send someone to the inner mansion to ask for a transfer order from Ju Shangshu."

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhang He said with a full face of displeasure, "Supervisor, what kind of status are you, this time you just want to enter the criminal prison, so there is no need to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice for instructions."

"Don't talk too much, let's go."

Under Lin Chao's insistence, Zhang He could only send someone to the inner mansion, and then accompany Lin Chao to stand in the cold wind and wait.

It's not that Lin Chao is a coward, it's just that when the Inner Palace was established, there was an intention to clearly delineate the functions and powers.The criminal prison is under the control of the criminal department, and anyone who wants to enter must greet the criminal department. This is the rule.

As for Lin Chao, the head of Taiwei's mansion, although he is the superior of the inner mansion, he does not have any authority on the surface.

Although he has an ax and ax and the power to command all military affairs in Xuzhou, Lin Chao doesn't want to use it at will.

First, Lin Chao didn't want the power in his hands to be infinitely expanded, thus turning Xuzhou into his own one-word hall.

The emergence of the inner government was originally an institution to limit and divide power.When the world is settled and he returns to hermitage, he will inevitably devolve all the power in his hands.

That is to say, no one will have such great power in the hands of anyone other than himself in the future.

The two are also the most critical point, that is, the time to do something against the family has not yet come, and Lin Chao wants to show his weakness first.

The two waited for a long time in front of the prison gate, and saw Jushou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, rushing over in person.

After receiving the letter from Lin Chao, Ju Shou was shocked when he heard that Lin Changshi was blocked in front of the prison. He put down his government affairs on the spot and came to open the door for Lin Chao himself.

After all, it was not a private occasion. After seeing Lin Chao, Ju Shou hurried up to greet him and said, "I have seen Chang Shi."

"You don't need to be too polite." Lin Chao waved his hand with a smile, and then said, "Your Excellency, your prison is heavily guarded, and even a certain person is not allowed to enter or leave."

Hearing this, Ju Shou broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, and immediately ordered the jailer to open the gate.

Facing his highest boss, the jailer had no reason to shirk, and quickly moved out of the way, while giving Lin Chao a grateful look.

After entering the prison, under the guidance of another jailer, Lin Chao finally saw Zhen Yan who was being held alone.

Since Zhao Yun personally escorted him to the prison, Zhen Yan didn't suffer much, even his clothes were not messed up, but his face was gloomy, with a hint of worry in his eyes from time to time.

When the jailer opened the cell door, Lin Chao waved his hand, motioning for him to go down, then left Jushou and Zhang Yun to wait at the door, and strode in by himself.

"Brother!"

Seeing Lin Chao approaching, Zhen Yan let out a cry of surprise.

I knew that my elder brother would never let others wrong him, and would definitely uphold justice for himself.

Lin Chao didn't say anything, he just found a fairly clean place in the cell and motioned Zhen Yan to sit opposite him.

"This place seems to be nice, brother, would you like to stay for a few more days?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Brother, don't be joking. If you hadn't sent someone to protect you in advance today, I'm afraid my little brother would have become the ghost of those people."

Lin Chao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not likely, but brother, do you know the purpose of those people?"

"Of course it's for the new paper, but they can actually incite hundreds of scholars, this is something I didn't expect."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yan's mood became depressed again.

When the conflict broke out, more than 100 scholars died on the spot.He fully understands the weight of this number, so he is even more worried that the mastermind behind the scenes will not let it go, and may intensify his attacks on him.

 I have something to do at home, so I came back at night, so it was a bit late.

  But today was the day when Pu Daxi ran, and Lao Yu didn't dare to spoil everyone's happiness.

  Add more, must add more!
  Everyone, wait a moment, there will be another update later.
