I am the carpenter king

Chapter 80 Interrogation

() Although one day has passed, Emperor Tianqi dismissed a cabinet scholar, but the whole court seems to have ignored this matter.Those civil servants who were outspoken and dared to advise were also very quiet, and no one interceded with Gu Zhen. It seemed that the entire court had acquiesced in this matter.

There are four gates in the capital, and every morning with the sun, the gates will slowly open.Although the affairs in the court are all major events, they have little impact on the common people. What they care about is not who is a cabinet scholar, and that has nothing to do with them.What they care about is whether the price of vegetables has risen today, and whether salt is expensive again!

With the opening of the city gate, the people who had been waiting on both sides of the city gate entered or left the city quickly.Because there were no major events in the imperial court during this time, and the gates of the capital were not strictly guarded, but the atmosphere seemed a little different today.At the gate of each city gate, there is a team of Jinyi guards standing here, looking at the passing crowd, not going up to trouble anyone, just watching quietly.

As time passed, the sun slowly rose, and more and more people passed by, but those Jin Yiwei still stood there motionless.Although many people were curious, no one dared to ask, and no one even dared to take a look.

A somewhat hunched figure slowly walked into the gate of the city. He did not leave the city but slowly came to the group of Jinyi guards. The strange thing was that the group of Jinyi guards did not stop him, and even called back the soldiers who came forward. .

This man's beard was white, and his eyes didn't seem to be very good. With a wooden stick in his hand, he walked slowly to the leader, Jin Yiwei.

"Master Baihu, that's the man in blue clothes. There are three people in a group, and the leader is the middle-aged man with a beard." nodded.

"Which mansion are they from?" The hundred householder did not act immediately, but asked the crooked figure.

"It's Yao Zongwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War." After speaking, the crooked figure turned around and walked back to the original road.

With a wink at the people behind them, the group of Jinyi guards all quickly ran outside the city gate, untied their respective horses from the stakes, and chased in the direction where the three men in blue disappeared.This scene also happened at the west gate of the capital, but it was an old servant who went out of the west gate, but there was no one behind this man.When they came to the gate of the city, the old servant nodded to the hundred households of Jinyiwei, and the group of Jinyiwei followed.

After the three blue-clothed men left the city, they came to a tea shop, pulled out three horses from the tea shop, turned on the horses one by one, and left in a hurry.

After walking two miles away, in a forest, the three of them were stopped by Jin Yiwei.Although there were some bad premonitions, the leader still bit the bullet and came to the front, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Ye, I don't know what's going on here?"

Ignoring the money handed over by the leader, the hundred households of Jinyiwei waved to the people behind them, and those Jinyiwei immediately rushed forward and tied up the three of them.

An hour later, a group of people came from the gate of a house outside the capital city, and handed over their horses to the servants of the house. The group of people walked into the house quickly.

"My subordinate, Liu Hua, sees Mr. Luo." Following the group of people walking in, the brocade guard who had been waiting in the courtyard earlier knelt down and saluted respectfully.

The person who came nodded lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Get up! Have you brought everyone back?"

"My lord, everything is going well." Liu Baihu immediately stood up, pointed to a room not far away, and led the way respectfully.Among the people who followed the leader, there was only one person left in five steps. After a while, the whole yard became five steps and one post.

When they came to the door of a house in the backyard, the leader waved to the back, and the rest of the people quickly separated and surrounded the whole house.

Lifting his legs slowly, the leader walked up the steps slowly, and at this time there were only two people following him.One is a middle-aged man in his 30s, wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He looks as gentle as a scholar.The other one was an old man with a white beard, and he looked quite old, holding a white handkerchief in his hand, covering his mouth with the handkerchief and coughing a few times from time to time.What is surprising is that what the old man is holding is a big wooden box behind his back, which makes the old man look like a doctor.

After arriving at the door, the leader stood up slowly, and the young man in white walked forward slowly and opened the doors of the room.As for that Liu Baihu, standing respectfully not far away at this time, it seems that he is not qualified to come up and open the door.

Locked in the room were the three men in blue clothes, their hands raised above their heads, and their wrists tied with ropes.The feet of the three people were all pointing to the ground. Although they had not been hung for a long time, the three people were sweating coldly on their faces, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.

Ignoring the three people, the leader walked slowly into the room and sat down. He smiled and said to the two people behind him, "Which one of you is coming?"

"My lord, the old man is already dying, and this kind of physical work should be left to the young man!" The trembling old man put the wooden box on the ground, and he didn't look at the middle-aged man, or even the leader, and looked at himself. He sat on his own box.

The leader didn't seem to be angry, he smiled at the old man and said, "An old man in a family is like a treasure. Mr. Chen is a capable person of our Jinyiwei, so it's not good to make you work too hard." Then the man looked at the old man. The middle-aged man turned to one side, and said with a smile: "Zhang Chong, although you are capable, you are too young after all, you should do this matter!"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly and shook his head. He was already 37, and in the eyes of these two, he was still a young man, but he did not refuse.Gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, the man walked slowly in front of the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "You also know that it is Jin Yiwei who arrested you. We also know that you are just pawns, so you better be sensible." .”

After bowing to the leader, the middle-aged man went on to say: "Do you see that sitting over there is the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigong, Mr. Luo. You should understand the seriousness of the matter, so don't let me Do it, say it yourself!"

The three blue-clothed men were in mourning at this time, but they did not expect to alarm the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and they didn't know whether to be thankful or cry.One of them even fainted from fright. Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the leading man in blue nodded quickly and begged, "My lord, the villain must answer every question. I beg you to spare my life."
