The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 929 Supervising the Great Prison
Zhao Dongting was stunned.

Looking at the shy Yunjing, he was full of surprise.

In this day and age, few women would take the initiative like this.

Under his gaze, Yunjing lowered her head lower and lower.God knows how fast her heart is beating now, it seems like a deer is bumping in her heart.

But she also understands that Zhao Dongting seldom takes the initiative in this aspect.If she didn't speak up, then maybe, in this life, she could only have a relationship with Zhao Dongting.

Time seems to stand still here.

It seems that there is eternity, and it seems that it is an instant.

Yunjing felt uneasy and gradually became a little uneasy.Seeing that Zhao Dongting was silent, he held back his shyness and raised his head.

He only raised his head, and saw Zhao Dongting's half-smile.This made her lower her head hurriedly.

When he looked up again, Zhao Dongting had already turned around and continued to walk towards the Supervisory Court.

On the face of Yunjing Qingguoqingcheng, there is a beautiful smile.

Because Zhao Dongting said two words when he turned around, "Okay..."

Supervise the provincial prison.

As one of the four major departments, the Ministry of Supervision has an independent compound within the palace, and there are as many palaces in the courtyard.

And the prison that is the most shady and the most chilling to all officials is located in the darkest corner.

Walking past a pile of huge rockery, behind is the prison that looks very air-conditioned.

The big prison camp was built in the middle of the mountain, hollowed out of the mountain, and it was extremely humid.The plaque of "Supervisory Provincial Prison" hanging at the entrance of the cave has been dripping water all the year round, and gray water stains have formed underneath.

Usually those who can be caught by the Supervision Provincial Headquarters and sent to prison can be regarded as well-known officials of the Song Dynasty.But even if these people's hands and eyes are open to the sky, no one can go out safe and sound.

Compared with Dali Temple, which is now under the Ministry of Law, the prison of the Supervision Province is even more fearful for all officials.

Because Dali Temple has the function of interrogation, after entering, it may be possible to come out.

At this moment, the torches outside the prison almost make it as bright as day.

There are hundreds of people enshrined in Wuding Hall, hundreds of prison guards, and hundreds of guards in front of the imperial palace.Surround this place tightly.

Wang Wenfu, the criminal order, Zhang Shijie, the supervisory order, and Lu Xiufu, the state affairs order, were almost all the officials who went to take power in the three provinces other than the military aircraft province.

Hundreds of criminal officials including Guan Shu and Gao Manshan knelt down among the crowd with disheveled hair and mournful faces.

In other words, at this moment, there are thousands of people gathered outside the big prison of the Supervision Province.

Since the Changsha Imperial Palace was built, the Supervisory Provincial Prison has never been so lively.Among the officials arrested in the past, there has never been one of Gao Manshan's level.

This means that Xie Fangde was arrested and captured, otherwise he, the deputy supervisor, would be reduced to a prisoner in his own territory, which has to be said to be a great irony.

Lu Xiufu and the others looked at Gao Manshan and the others with anger in their eyes.

Among these people, not surprisingly, some are their students and old friends.

But no one questioned Gao Manshan and others.Because Zhao Dongting said that he would personally interrogate these people.

Without hearing any footsteps, Zhao Dongting came out from behind the rockery and appeared behind the crowd.

A few steps behind is Yunjing, the sword servant.But at this moment Yunjing quietly lowered her head.

A sharp-eyed person saw Zhao Dongting and immediately knelt down on the ground, "Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Then all the people present knelt down, except for those Wu Dingtang enshrined who guarded Gao Manshan and others and a very small number of people with special status like Le Wuwei.

The mountain roared like a tide.

Most of Gao Manshan and others kneeling in the crowd looked at Zhao Dongting in an instant, and someone knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, "The emperor has mercy, the emperor has mercy..."

They were brought directly to the Supervision Provincial Prison, and they all knew that the emperor must have conclusive evidence in his hands.This is to skip the step of interrogation by the Ministry of Law.

Zhao Dongting glanced around the crowd, but did not stop at Gao Manshan and the others, but waved his hands indifferently, "Let's get flat!"

But those who are familiar with him should be able to see how much anger is suppressed in his heart, who is calm on the surface.

The emperor is really kind to these courtiers.

After everyone was dead, Zhao Dongting walked towards Gao Manshan and the others with Yunjing.

Gao Manshan just watched and didn't beg for mercy just now.

Le Wuhui walked up to Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, all the officials on the list have been arrested here except those who were killed on the spot."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded inconspicuously, "It's time to thank the Master and everyone."

He walked up to Gao Manshan and looked at Gao Manshan, who was fairly well-groomed, "You... are from Guigu Academy?"

People like Gao Manshan, Xie Fangde, and Guan Shu were able to climb to the current high position. They have been lurking in the Song Dynasty for decades. This cannot be Duan Qilin's handwriting.

Gao Manshan knelt and nodded, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

There are also ministers who are constantly begging.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly raised his eyebrows and was furious.

This stopped the voices of begging for mercy, and the vast majority of people who knelt on the ground fell silent.

Even the priests in the Wuding Hall next to them and the guards in front of the hall changed slightly.

Zhao Dongting's current majesty is extremely strong.

But he suddenly calmed down, looked at Gao Manshan and Guan Shu and said: "I ask myself that I treat you well, but living in Song Dynasty for decades is not enough to change your mind?"

Gao Manshan said: "I have thought about it, but it is not easy to ask Guigu Academy for this. If they expose our identities, your majesty...will you spare us?"

Zhao Dongting sighed and remained silent.

He asked himself, even if Gao Manshan and others did not help the evildoers, as long as he knew that they were the pawns of Guigu Xuegong, he would definitely not let them continue to work in Song Dynasty.

Perhaps, from the moment Gao Manshan and the others left Guigu Academy to hide in Da Song, it was already doomed that it would be difficult for them to have a good ending.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Zhao Dongting said: "So you would rather make mistakes again and again? Do you know how many soldiers and common people's families were ruined in Song Dynasty just because of the disaster of the people?"

Gao Manshan kowtowed, "I'm guilty. I don't ask the emperor to forgive me outside the law, but I only ask the emperor to... let my family go."

"Let me think about it!"

Zhao Dongting just sighed, "I know that you are not the only ones who are related to Dali. If you want to keep your family from being implicated, I will not give you a chance. You recruit your accomplices and exchange your life." One life. You always know how many people there are in your family."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Bring a pen and paper."

Some jailers ran away in a hurry.

Soon, sheets of snow-white rice paper were spread out in front of Gao Manshan and the others.

The riots involve a wide range of people, Zhao Dongting's counterattack does not start with arresting people like Gao Manshan, nor will it end with them.

Few people still uphold that ridiculous ignorance at this moment, except for a few or two who swear at Zhao Dongting, the rest are bowing their heads and writing.

Some confessed their accomplices, and some were not deeply involved, and wrote letters of guilt in order to survive.

Those rebellious ones were beheaded by the guards in front of the palace on the spot.

The head rolled to the ground.

But under such circumstances, Xie Daoqing brought the Queen Mother and others to arrive.

Just seeing those heads rolled to the ground, and then looking at those kneeling on the ground, Queen Mother Quan's complexion became a little pale.

Among these people, there is no lack of Qingliu admonishing ministers who forced Zhao Dongting to write an imperial edict at the same time as her.

"Kowtow to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager..."

All the priests in the Wuding Hall, the jailers, and the guards in front of the hall fell to their knees again.

Xie Daoqing is calm and composed, with unparalleled majesty.The Queen Mother Quan, who used to have a cold face, couldn't stop shivering.

She knew at this moment that Zhao Xianfei was assassinated by someone sent by Zhao Dongting.And what she did by herself, she naturally knew it well.

Zhao Dongting turned his head, "Empress Dowager... Quan Empress Dowager..."

There always seemed to be a bit of playfulness in the voice calling for the Queen Mother from behind.

Xie Daoqing just nodded.

Empress Dowager Quan looked at Zhao Dongting with complicated eyes.

After Zhao Xian was assassinated, she made every effort to oppose Zhao Dongting, even if they all died together, she was willing.That's all because she only regarded Zhao Dongting as her own murderous enemy.

But now the truth came out, she just felt that God made a big joke with her.

For Zhao Dongting, she should feel guilty.It's just that with her strong temperament, she might not be able to admit her mistakes to Zhao Dongting in front of so many people.
