Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People
Chapter 102 Blockade of the Magistrates’ House!
Chapter 102 Blockade of the Magistrates’ House!
Fan Xin remembered that the imperial court's decree was to remove Xiao Jing from all official positions and take her to Dali Temple.
However, Zhou Xing took Xiao Jing to the Magistrate's Court without permission behind his back. This clearly did not take Dali Temple seriously.
If you don't get the person back, it will be tantamount to losing face for the Sanfa Division, and there will be no authority at all.
So this time when he came to ask for someone, he brought all the soldiers of Dali Temple with him.
"Liu Zi, remember to take action and deal with someone who doesn't want to open your eyes. Don't show mercy."
"Dele, I promise to train those ruffians to be obedient, just watch." Liuzi threw the purple gold hammer and looked at the Lijing Gate in the distance.
……
Lijingmen, Magistrate's Court.
In the past, this place was just an abandoned old house, but it became lively after the sign of the Magistrate's Office was hung up.
During the day, countless important criminals were sent here and handed over to cruel officials for interrogation.
At night, when no one was around, the bodies were pulled by bullock carts and sent to the wilderness for burial. Over time, Lijingmen became a forbidden place that made people talk about it.
Even the most daring people dare not come here at night.
"How about it, does Xiao Geling want to be my concubine?"
Looking away from the window, Zhou Xing turned around and looked at the tied up woman on the bed with a proud smile on his face.
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Jing said coldly: "You imprisoned my leader in the Magistrate's Court without authorization. Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will punish you?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing burst out laughing after hearing these words.
"Xiao Jing, you have been in the inner guard for so many years. When have you ever heard of anyone leaving Lijingmen alive?"
"As long as the news is blocked, who will know that you are locked up in the Magistrates' Court?"
What surprised him was that instead of panicking, Xiao Jing sneered.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. Before I came in, my leader had already sent someone to inform Fan Xin and other ministers."
"I believe it won't be long before they come to the Magistrate's Court to ask for someone."
"If they find that the leader of this cabinet died unexpectedly, do you think they will tell the Queen Mother?"
When Fan Xin was mentioned, Zhou Xing instantly became gloomy, with ferocious hatred surging in his eyes.
He and Qiu Shen were nominally tied for the top of the list of cruel officials, but in fact they were sworn brothers with similar interests.
In Bozhou and his party, Fan Xin, relying on the support of others, openly framed Qiu Shen for killing a brothel girl named Xiao Fengxian, causing his brother to be executed on the spot by the Queen Mother.
Now that he heard this name again, the combination of new and old hatreds gave him the idea of crazy revenge.
Suppressing the hatred in his heart, he said disdainfully to Xiao Jing: "Xiao Ge leader, you think too simply."
"What kind of place is the Magistrate's Court? It's a purgatory where only the dead can escape. How many princes and ministers would be so frightened that their legs would weaken just by hearing the name."
"Let alone come to ask for someone. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet as long as someone dares to break into this room and ask for someone."
"I will acquit you immediately. Instead, how about you strip naked and become my woman?"
"Okay!" Xiao Jing said without hesitation.
Now she was reduced to a piece of meat on the chopping board, and the only way out of this place was through gambling.
The most important thing is that she believes that those former allies are all powerful people from aristocratic families, and small things like rescuing people should not be difficult for them.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Zhou Xing smiled coldly and closed his eyes.
Since the establishment of the Judicial Council, from the princes and princes to the prime ministers, he has never seen anyone who dared to come to the Judicial Council to save people.
He didn't believe that Fan Xin, a mere fourth-grade student, had the guts to come to Lijingmen to save people.
Soon the light dimmed, and a scarred clerk came in and said something.
"Master Zhou, Lu Junhai, the young minister of Taichang Temple, is asking to see you outside the door. Please let Xiao Ge Ling go for the sake of the Lu family."
Seeing that someone actually came to plead for mercy, Zhou Xing glanced at Xiao Jing in surprise, and the latter smiled lightly.
"Well, what I said is right." "Humph, it's too early for Xiao Ge to be happy. I just walked into this room."
Zhou Xing snorted coldly and said impatiently to Scar.
"Tell Lu Junhai that the Magistrate's Court is under the order of the Queen Mother to supervise the handling of major rebellion cases. If you dare to be verbose, we will arrest him!"
"I know, I know!" The little official with Scar clenched his fists and swaggered back to the courtyard gate.
At this time, a young official in luxurious clothes was standing here.
Seeing Scar come out, the clerk hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "May I ask, little brother, what did Judge Zhou say?" As he said this, he put a silver ingot into his hand.
Scar's little official weighed the silver and squeezed out a smile.
"Lu Shaoqing, our Lord Zhou said that all the prisoners in the Magistrate's Court are important prisoners of the imperial court, and no one can see them before the interrogation is over. You should go back and wait for news. If the Lu family is involved, it will be difficult to handle."
Feeling the threat in Scar's words, Lu Junhai's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to say a few more words, but in the end he could only sigh and step aside due to the danger of the cruel official.
It's not that he doesn't want to save Xiao Jing, but that the Lu family can't afford the risk of being framed.
Lu Junhai was obviously not the only one who got the news. As soon as he retreated far away, a large sedan team came up.
"Look, Xu Zong, the Minister of Household Affairs, is here. No wonder it's such a grand event." A servant of the Lu family exclaimed.
"Haha, I felt relieved as soon as Minister Xu came here. He is the second most powerful figure in the Ministry of Household Affairs after Shangshu. I think Zhou Xing must be given some face when he comes." Lu Junhai said with a smile.
As everyone watched, the sedan stopped, and two burly soldiers stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Shilang Xu, the Magistrate's Court has arrived."
The curtain opened, and a middle-aged official with an elegant temperament stepped out of the sedan.
Realizing that Lu Junhai was here, he smiled and nodded at him and then walked straight towards Scar.
"Please, little brother, please go in and inform me that Xu Zong, the Minister of War, is outside the door asking for an audience."
As soon as he finished speaking, an iron box was carried to the door.
After taking a look at the iron box, the scarred official smiled and cupped his hands: "Xu Shilang, please wait a moment. I will go and report it right now."
In about half a stick of incense, the clerk with the handle appeared at the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this scene, Lu Junhai and the subsequent officials all breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, being able to go in and see Zhou Xing is a good sign, so they don't have to feel in a dilemma anymore.
While everyone was standing in the snow rubbing their hands and waiting for news, the closed courtyard door reopened.
Xu Zong, who was full of confidence before, walked out with a livid face.
Seeing this, everyone rushed to greet him and asked with concern: "How is Brother Xu, what does Zhou Xing say?"
"Don't mention it!" Xu Zong said bitterly: "The man named Zhou said that no matter who comes today, Xiao Jing can't be saved. Let's get back quickly, otherwise he will be rude."
Everyone present was a descendant of an aristocratic family. How could they bear such an insult? Several young people were about to go in and argue but were stopped by Lu Junhai.
"Everyone, have you forgotten where this place is? How dare you rush in even if you don't have time to escape?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the indignation stopped abruptly, and the young officials fled, fearing that they would be targeted by cruel officials.
They almost forgot that this is Lijingmen, which eats people without spitting out their bones!
Looking at the gloomy backs of everyone, the scarred clerk spat thick phlegm on the ground and was about to order people to close the door.
Suddenly a loud shout came from the distance: "Hurry up, surround the Magistrate's Court!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two teams marched in neat steps, and the heavily armed Dali Temple soldiers came from the street.
The young officials stopped and were stunned.
"Oh my God, Dali Temple has blocked the Senate. What are they going to do?"
