Chapter 17 The Trial
However, Jiang Tian soon discovered that the following joint trial was just a routine matter.He just asked about the details and the scene at that time again, and after reconfirming that the monogram was correct; however, the prisoner in black, Murong Wu, led Jiang Tian to the back of a thick barrier in a roundabout way.

And through the hazy barrier and the wooden frame carved jacaranda window, it can be seen that there is a simple interrogation court in front of it, which is already ready; and there are already people sitting in the middle.After the man slightly tilted his head and nodded, he said in a harsh voice:

"Bring it up!"

Then, under the support of several public officials, a criminal who was covered in blood and flesh but whose face was deliberately cleaned up and easily identified was also slowly dragged forward and began to be interrogated word by word:
"The inmate Chen Ziqi is the seventh, his former name is Xiao Bailang, the deputy head of the fifth group of bad guys..."

And amidst the hustle and bustle, the black-clothed warden Murong Wu also leaned down, and whispered in Jiang Tian's ear, who was a little unclear:
"You are here, but you have to see clearly."

"During the period, if there is any familiarity, or if you feel similar, or have doubts, you should point it out to me right away. Have you ever understood?"

"it is good!"

Jiang Tian's heart moved, but he nodded in agreement: Xindao, isn't this the identification of the suspect in later generations?Unexpectedly, the ancients would also play this trick.

On the other side of the turret, several other people were also carefully watching through the panes, divided into the interrogation scene in front, and Jiang Tian and others behind the screen fan.

It's just that in addition to Guo Chongtao, the censor who was in charge of the case, there was also a green-robed official with a slender body and handsome features.But it was Wei Dongting, the censor of Guancheng who was in charge of the Nancheng film, and was also the senior of the former Beijing Academy.

Beside them, there was another subordinate official in white shirt, who was reading in a low voice some newly collected news and materials; mainly the various daily and interpersonal relationships surrounding this troublesome person behind the scenes.

"If I didn't rely on the teacher's relationship, I'm afraid even I might not be able to find everything in a short period of time. The origin of this guy is back and forth!"

After Wei Dongting listened slightly for a while, he couldn't help sighing and said:
"Wait, you said that this guy has a lot to do with Nan Bian, and he was originally from the Donghai Society as a guarantee?"

But when he heard something, Guo Chongtao was a little puzzled and said:

"If this is the case, his complicated relationships and concealment can explain one or two things."

However, Wei Dongting felt relieved:

"Isn't this suspicious?"

Guo Chongtao couldn't help asking:
"Of course there is something suspicious, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Wei Dongting, on the other hand, smiled pretentiously:
"Over the past few years, how many people have been sent from the south; I'm afraid it's not enough to accommodate a few squares."

"Don't say it's the two majors and the third attached to the Beijing Academy, but those old scholars from the Imperial College and the Taixue, but they are all counting on these Shuxiu from the south to support their families and buy properties?"

"So at this moment, as long as he is not from the West Country, everything will be fine."

"Besides, he also has contacts with Huajian School."

The official continued:

"Flower pie?"

However, when hearing this name, whether it is Guo Chongtao or Wei Dongting, they can't help showing some kind of subtle and abnormal expression; it seems to be both disgusting and helpless.

Because, the status and reputation of this Huajian faction is really indescribable.Its predecessor can be traced back to the Kaiyuan period, an association of like-minded people active in Shangjing Chang'an-Pinhua Association.

But the painting style of the Pinhua Association at that time was relatively normal.I just like to get together to comment on the beauties who are especially outstanding in Beijing, China and abroad;

Or wandering around the streets and alleys of the city all day, just to find and excavate a good look, but not for the exclusive private house, but for the common appreciation and evaluation.

Therefore, although they chase and follow, they will not entangle and embarrass them face to face; they like to climb walls and trees secretly, thinking that they can observe and spy on the daily real posture of beauties, and turn them into paintings for people to appreciate.

Of course, they still have bottom lines and guidelines.That is to say, he only criticizes those young and beautiful women who are waiting to be married, but basically does not provoke and criticize those married women who are already married.

For example, they once judged the so-called top, middle and bottom 36 famous flowers in Beijing according to different social levels.As the most famous leader among them, Li Yu, the second son of King Hanzhong, is undoubtedly the clan.

At that time, the Emperor Ming, because of the abolition of the prince and the change of the two kings Ying and Yao, felt that the royal family had been in chaos since the beginning of the dynasty; therefore, gradually reduced and abolished the belongings of the East Palace, and created a ten-thousand-centralized clan residence. The royal residence and Baisun courtyard system.

However, it is much more lenient for the clans that are a little farther away; under the condition of high-quality care all day long and doing nothing, it has also created many strange existences, such as Li Yu, the second son of the Hanzhong Wang family, who behaved eccentrically and strangely.

Therefore, in the early years, even Li Tengkong, the youngest daughter of Li Linfu's family and the youngest daughter of Li Linfu's family, who created the allusion of "Sword with Honey and Belly" and was known as "Prime Minister of Viper", was inevitably included in the list;
However, when the news got out, the Prime Minister, who had always treated his political enemies and opponents with vengeance, laughed it off with a rare magnanimity, and even thought it a good talk.

Therefore, even if the two capitals were lost and regained after the Anshi Rebellion, the Pinhua Association soon revived with the emperor's officials who returned to Beijing.

But in the following days, the painting style of the Pinhua Association has gradually changed; or their tastes and active content have also become more diversified;
For example, in addition to the beautiful and beautiful Xiuyuan who kept appearing in Tasting Beijing, they also began to secretly dabble in erotic picture books and boudoir love texts;

Then, it became out of control and became the source of the capital, and even the largest underground publication in the world, in the following decades;
And created a series of works such as "Ruyi Jun Biography", "Xiuta Strange Words", "The Story of the East Fence", "The Secret History of the Milou", etc., from the nobles to the common people.

Although they are taboo for the venerable, they have always used various metaphors to refer to them; but as the ancestors' deeds, they have been used as the source material and the bitter master of the joke: the Yang family of the state guest family and the Wu family after the founding hero are unavoidable. It disturbs.

However, it is rumored that Li Yu, the second son of the King of Hanzhong, faintly has the shadow of the first hero who overcomes difficulties and expands the land, Liang Gongzun; and several generations have been helpless about him.

Until later, Duke Liang retreated bravely and refused to pay attention, and since then went to the newly expanded territory of the outer domain to retire; and Li Yu, the second son of the king of Hanzhong, also went to the river to spread his branches and leaves for some reason.

The incumbent prime minister at that time was Wu Yuanheng, the great-nephew of Empress Zetian Shengzun, and Yang Yan, another prime minister of Duzhi, finally joined forces to completely ban and destroy the pinhua association.

However, they can break the ban for a while, but they can't break the ban for a while; let alone the people's favorites that have already formed.As a result, a few years later, more and more shoddy, bizarre and absurd "History of Sui Yang's Desolation" and "The Strange Record of the Empress" began to flood the market.

At that time, the reigning emperor, who ruled under the arch, rarely summoned the two princes, and said a few allusions about the prohibition of alcohol by the empress of Shu (Note [-]), which can be regarded as a disguised beating of the two princes who inevitably acted privately;

But even if the ban was lifted, the pinhua association disappeared for a while in disguise; until a generation of Huasao poets who thought they were nicknamed "Wen Bacha" used the name of Huajian School's poetry club; The banner of the Flower Society...

Of course, the Huajian School that has evolved to this day, in addition to the traditional functions of continuing to excavate and discover, appraise and appreciate beauties; the largest source of business and income is the traditional underground business with a low style.

For example, they continue to publish some erotic atlases called the changes of the past dynasties, but in essence, they use people in the teaching workshops of the academy as portrait models to advertise and promote in disguise; there are also paid manuscripts for many boudoir texts.

Therefore, even though it has been attacked and raided several times by the Jingzhao government in the past, because of the support of some powerful financial backers behind it, and the contributors, in addition to ordinary people in the market, may also involve two or three affiliates, or even Guozijian, Taixue middle school, etc. people.

Therefore, there is still no way to go deeper, but just as a performance that can be brushed back and forth.

It's just that Guo Chongtao and others heard about this person and may be involved in it, but it is unavoidable and ironic.

"correct."

Before Wei Dongting left, he suddenly said:

"The teacher asked me to tell you that besides Fan Shiyi, there are also people in the Dianzhong Province who are involved in this matter!"

"Dianzhong province?"

Guo Chongtao couldn't help but frown.If he came to ask, the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of the Secretary, he could understand.But it happened to be the province of the palace.

"Is it Uncle Daguo (Queen Mother) or Uncle Xiaoguo (Queen)?"

"Which country uncle's family? Of course, it is the one who almost became a family before Zhenzhu Ji's accident?"

Wei Dongting said without hesitation:

"So, I'm just pretending to be a little bit older, and I would like to advise you, maybe in the future, when it's time to let go, you have to let go."

"Thank you, brother, for the reminder."

However, upon hearing this sentence, Guo Chongtao thanked him without changing his expression, but couldn't help but scroll the case file in his hand.

The next moment, the interrogation under the hall suddenly changed, and Wei Dongting, who was about to leave, took it back again.

Note 38: Disposal of "Three Kingdoms Volume [-] Shushu Eight":
When there was a drought and alcohol was banned, those who brewed were punished.Officials ask for brewing utensils from others, and the commentators want to order them to be punished with the same punishment as the winemakers. (Jian) ​​Yong traveled with the First Master (Liu Bei) and saw a man and woman walking the Tao. He said that the First Master said, "That person wants to commit adultery, so why didn't he restrain him?" The Former Master said, "How do you know this?" He has his own equipment, which is the same as those who want to brew." The former master laughed, but the one who wanted to brew.
