When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 298: Tingwei Zheng

A dark prison.

Niu Fu sat on the haystack, he lowered his head dejectedly, looking at the uneven ground, his heart could not calm down for a long time.

He had heard of Liu Bei's 'rules'.

Different from their principle of "even if you surrender, you may be killed", Liu Bei always "only kills the evil leaders".

What's more, he surrendered early, told everything he knew, and gave Li Wenyu away. According to common sense, he was rewarded for his report.

What about poisoning the queen, what about looting, and what about arson.

It has nothing to do with him. He has no choice.

He knew that Liu Bei understood his difficulties.

"That's why. Why don't you let me out?"

After all, he was the General of the Central Army and had never endured such a harsh environment.

Even the military talisman and the fortune teller were not by his side. He felt uneasy, deeply uneasy.

They could only grab a handful of grass at random and use the amount of grass to tell fortunes and determine good or bad luck.

twenty two.
It’s auspicious!

Just as Niu Fu finished counting the last one, a series of steady footsteps sounded.

Niu Fu was overjoyed, haha, he must be here to release me!

Niu Fu, who was daydreaming, did not forget to cast a smug look at Li Ru who was in the next cell. A real man should protect himself!

Li Ru didn't even look at Niu Fu. He just turned over and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Niu Fu cursed inwardly: Li Wenyou, just pretend! I will definitely not say anything good for you then!
"squeak"

The prison door was wide open for the soldiers in armor and weapons, and the dazzling sunlight rushed in, dispelling all the darkness.

Niu Fu was so excited that his hands were shaking. He jumped up from the haystack, brushed off the dust on his prison uniform, looked at the seven or eight soldiers who appeared in front of him, and forced a flattering smile on his haggard and tired face.

"May I ask what your names are?"

"Are you here to free me?"

"Please open the prison door quickly. I will be of great use to Xixiang Hou!"

"I will do what Li Wenyou dare not do! I will say what Li Wenyou dare not say!"

Niu Fu patted his chest and made the assurance, but he found it a little strange that the team leader was quite young and seemed like he had seen him somewhere before. However, the most urgent task was to escape from prison first!

However, he waited for a long time, and none of the seven or eight soldiers in front of him came forward to open the door.

Niu Fu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that they weren't here to release me?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was instantly rejected by Niu Fu. No, no, no, how could divination be wrong!

However, you can never fool yourself no matter who you are.

Niu Fu's throat slid uncontrollably and he swallowed mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Sweat was oozing out of his forehead as he looked at the young man.

"May I ask who you are?"

"My surname is Wu, and I am the new Chief Justice."

The Chief Justice Wu was taking out the official bronze seal.

Seal means trust.

It is a token that can prove identity.

The Chief Justice of the Court of Inspectorate was a subordinate official of the Court of Inspectorate, one of the Nine Ministers. His salary in the Former Han Dynasty was 1,000 dan, while now it is 600 dan.

Niu Fu would have looked down upon a minor official with a salary of only 600 dan before, but when one is under someone's roof, one has to bow his head, not to mention the Tingwei who was in charge of criminal law, trials and prisons, even though he was only a subordinate of the Tingwei.

For some reason, Niu Fu felt that this Chief Justice Wu was acting strangely. His tone seemed serious and calm at first glance, but he gave the illusion that he would pull out a ring-handled sword and cut off his neck the next moment.

In short, Niu Fu did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly said, "General Wu." Perhaps his respect worked, the cell door opened, and the iron chain fell to the ground with a pleasant clanging sound.

Niu Fu originally wanted to say to Li Ru, "Wenyou, I'm leaving first."

Unexpectedly, Niu Fu only felt a pain in his hands, and the young Chief Justice Wu actually tied his hands with a hemp rope in an extremely rough way.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, and panicked.

"What are you doing?!"

"I am very useful to Xixiang Hou!"

Unfortunately, these words still had no effect. The young court judge said coldly, "Do you still remember the generals under the command of the late general He Jin?"

"General? Zhang Zhang? Wu Wu Kuang, Wu Kuang!" At this moment, fear instantly crawled all over Niu Fu's back like an ant. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, "Could it be, could it be, could it be that you are?!"

"Yes, I am Wu Kuang's son, Wu Ban!"

Wu Ban waved at the soldiers behind him, "It's almost noon, drag this villain out!"

"Wu Tingwei Zheng, Wu Tingwei Zheng, wait a minute, wait a minute, Wu Kuang was not harmed by me! He was not harmed by me!"

However, Wu Ban would no longer listen to Niu Fu's words. He wanted to beat Niu Fu to death here, but the position of Chief Justice was won by Liu Bei, and he also remembered Liu Bei's instructions. How could he abuse Liu Bei's power to kill this man?

This is not what law enforcement officers do!
In the words of my lord, the evildoers must be tried and publicly tried!

As he was thinking, Wu Ban looked at the silent Li Ru, his eyes as sharp as a knife, especially at the real culprit who set the Luoyang arson!
Outside Luoyang
"Old man, why are you in such a hurry? It's not time to distribute porridge yet. Why are you running towards the gate of Luoyang instead of cleaning up your house?"

The elderly father-in-law looked at the young man who was pestering him with an expression of annoyance, but he still resisted the urge to punch and said:

"I see that you are very young, but why are your hearing not as good as an old man like me? Previously, an official posted a notice saying that the villains would be tried at Caishikou. How could I miss such a good show?!"

"Trial? That sounds new, too. Thank you, old man! I want to go, too!"

Once the news of the trial of the villain spread, it spread like wildfire like a plague, attracting people from the surrounding areas of Luoyang to gather at Caishikou.

When they arrived at Caishikou, they found a platform built with wood at some point.

The soldiers in armor and armed with sharp weapons surrounded the wooden platform and stopped the people from advancing.

Wu Ban climbed onto the wooden platform and looked around. The people who came here included lame people, elderly people, simple-dressed servants, and porters carrying loads.
"call"

Wu Ban exhaled and waved to the soldiers beside him.
"Bring the villain to custody."

"promise!"

Niu Fu and Li Ru, with disheveled hair, were brought onto the stage one after another.

But someone in the crowd recognized Niu Fu's identity and exclaimed
"Isn't that Niu Fu? It was this man's soldiers who stole my money!"

"My young son was kicked to death by him!"

"My house was also destroyed by this person! He demolished it abruptly!"

First it was one person, and then a group of people wiped away their tears and accused Niu Fu in a loud voice.

Niu Fu's face turned paler and paler. He tried his best to refute: "This is not my fault! It's Dong Zhuo! It's Dong Zhuo! It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me!"

However, no matter how he shouted, his voice was soon drowned out by the people's cries. Some people even picked up mud and smashed it hard on Niu Fu's forehead.

Niu Fu shouted until his voice was hoarse, but it didn't help at all. He had no choice but to pray to Wu Ban, hoping that Wu Ban would let him meet Liu Bei. In order to achieve his goal, he cried and shouted.

Li Ru, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Noisy."

Niu Fu felt as if he had been stabbed in the soft spot. He looked towards Li Ru and roared in a hoarse voice: "Shut up! You bastard! I am begging for mercy for you and me! Can't you see it?! Do you want to die?!"

"Ah."

Li Ru, with a pale face, glanced at Niu Fu with sarcasm on his face.

"I would rather die for Prime Minister Dong than live by begging for mercy!"
