Chapter 578 Winners and Losers
Naturally, Yan Luowang's interrogation of Yangjian was a masterpiece of Yan Qing.In fact, where is the underworld?Where are there such things as Impermanence in Black and White, Bull Head and Horse Face, Judge Cui, and King Yama?They're all artificial.Because Li Chun refused to confess to death, Yan Qing came up with this strategy.

Of course, Li Chun is not a fool, but a very experienced former spy chief. It is definitely not easy to fool such a person.There must be a careful plan and a seamless performance.Three days before the launch, Yan Qing had people almost cut off Li Chun's diet, leaving him in a state of extreme hunger.Yan Qing is an old criminal name, well aware that when people are in a state of extreme hunger, their thinking will be slow, their senses will be slow, and even hallucinations will occur.This is the easiest time to be led by the nose.

In order to be safe, Wu Wei also contributed a kind of medicinal powder with Datura flower as the main ingredient, and poured it into the drinking water for Li Chun to drink, which would make him have the illusion of being in the air, and improve his observation and willpower. Greatly weakened, but greatly increased pain tolerance.

With the two-pronged approach, Li Chuncai lay on the haystack and didn't want to move, feeling as if he saw heaven.

When it was two o'clock, Erhei, who was hiding in the dark, pulled the mechanism and opened the vent, and the wind howled in the dungeon.And those lanterns on the wall were actually removed.
one by one goes out,

In this way, in addition to creating a terrifying atmosphere, it is also for the next performance to not show any flaws... The pair of lanterns floating from a distance are actually hung on strings. Here comes the rope.A thin rope is connected to the pulley, and someone pulls the rope gently in the dark, and it looks like the lantern is floating over.

And Black and White Impermanence is not made up by humans, but by master craftsmen who make dolls. The craftsmanship of famous masters is to confuse the real with fake ones. In addition, Black and White Impermanence is pale, with blood red eyes, and a long tongue sticking out. It's not like a person, and no one dares to look at them carefully, so they are not afraid of being seen through.

Naturally, Black and White Impermanence was actually hung on a rope, and Hei Wuchang's hand holding the mourning stick was manipulated by strings, just like a puppet show.As for the cell door that opened suddenly, it was just a small trick, and there were countless experts in Jinyiwei, so it was easy to handle it.

However, the ghost pawn with blue face and fangs can only be played by a human being, Hei Yunzi next to Xianyun. The Taoist priest is tall and tall, and he wears special height-enhancing shoes, reaching a height of seven feet.In order to act like a ghost, Taoist Heiyun made a huge sacrifice. His face was painted with indigo paint, his hair was also dyed red, and he put on a pair of wild boar tusks, which made him look like a ghost.

But this was not enough, because he was responsible for taking Li Chun from the cell to the Palace of the King of Hell, and the two had to be in close contact, and if they were not careful, they would still reveal their secrets.Yan Qing asked Hei Yunzi to wear the leather armor that was just taken out of the ice cellar and was still covered with frost, and hid a piece of stinky fish and a piece of stinky meat on him... In this way, a whole body was bitingly cold and smelly. The terrifying ghost pawn was born.

It's just that Hei Yunzi, who plays the ghost soldier, can't stand the stench, but Yan Qing has a way. He plugs Hei Yunzi's two nostrils with brush tips, which can not only prevent the smell, but also prevent the horrible nose hair. , making the image of ghost pawns more realistic.

Afterwards, Hei Yunzi picked up Li Chun, who was weak all over, and Wu Yunzi, who was similar in stature to Li Chun, immediately lay down in Li Chun's original position. When he adjusted Li Chun's gaze, he saw "myself" Still lying on the spot, this time he completely accepted his fate of death...

Once he really thought that he was dead, Li Chun would accept his fate, so when he was taken to the Hall of Yama, when he saw those pans of fire, sawing people and pulling out their tongues, all he was left with was fear. Bad things, I'm afraid I have to taste all the punishments, how can I dare to look at it carefully when I'm so scared?

But it was useless for him to look carefully, because it was pitch black everywhere, and he could only see the outline of a ghost, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a person in disguise.When they got to the hall, they still only lit some mung bean-like candles, the wind was miserable, ghosts were crying and gods were howling, that kind of miserable appearance, didn't it look like a hell?In fact, the main reason for this effect is that they are afraid of passing through. The King of Hades and the judge can say that those bull-headed and horse-faced warriors are all wearing hoods and walking on stilts in disguise. If the light is good, you can still see the clues.

In any case, in short, he successfully deceived Li Chun and obtained the confession he wanted, but this confession seemed too violent, which actually made the emperor furious...

.

In a blink of an eye, the emperor and Cheng Guogong left, and only Wang Xian and Zhang Yu were left in the Prison God Temple. Because of the thunderous anger of the emperor before he left, the atmosphere in the hall was still somewhat gloomy.

"How about it, from the perspective of the second master," Wang Xian broke the silence and said, "Isn't the trial of Hades going well?"

"It's too passable." Zhang Wei said with a smile: "If I didn't look at it, Li Chun was convinced, but I saw the emperor and still didn't believe that I was in the world." After finishing speaking, he finally revealed his worry: "But the effect seems to be too much. Better, the emperor is so angry that he is afraid of hurting others and himself."

His worry was justified, because the emperor had lost face this time, and he might not only hate Ji Gang, but also Wang Xian, the instigator.

"I'll talk about this later..." Wang Xian waved his hand, obviously now is not the time to talk about this, he turned around and smiled at the apprehensive subordinates: "Everyone has worked hard, the banquet has been set up in the yamen, go back and have a full meal! Then Then go home to rest for two days, and pay double salary this month!"

All the subordinates cheered immediately, the sky was falling down, they were not worried about the emperor's reaction, they just went to have a big meal as soon as possible.

So everyone happily returned to Beizhen Fusi, Zhang Min naturally wouldn't go with him, although it was late at night, but he had plenty of gentle places to go.Knowing that Wang Xian wouldn't go with him, Zhang Min didn't provoke him anymore, but said with a smile: "Anyway, this 'Yan Wang Dianju Li Chun' was a big success, and that guy Ji Gang will definitely not be able to eat it and walk around. Now, your name, Wang Zhongde, is probably going to surpass 'Cold Face and Cold Iron' and become Bao Zheng of my Ming Dynasty."

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." Wang Xian walked him to the door and said with a wry smile, "I'm most afraid of being famous. It's better that no one knows me."

"It's a good idea." Zhang Wei laughed and cursed, and lowered his voice to comfort him: "As for whether the emperor will blame you, don't worry too much. Don't you have brothers? I'll let Cheng Guogong take a look at it. It's a big deal when the time comes. Find a way to remedy it.”

"Second Lord said this, I am happier than anything else," Wang Xian smiled gratefully, and said seriously: "This time I caused trouble for Second Master, but Second Master didn't complain a word, and still think of me like this , Wang Xianming feels deeply about this brotherhood."

"Haha, people of the same generation, two brothers, if you talk too much, you will see each other!" Zhang Min laughed and patted Wang Xian on the shoulder, got in the car and drove away.

Do you not blame Wang Xian in your heart when Zhang Yu?But a child from a family like him always has something special about him. He knows that he has already tied up with Wang Xian, and he has already done what he should or should not do. It is useless to complain at this time. Instead of breaking the barrier, his efforts were wasted.So instead of saying anything about Wang Xian, he kept thinking of Wang Xian and made Wang Xian feel sorry for him.This is the correct way to reduce losses and preserve profits.

After seeing off Zhang Min, Wang Xian looked back at Yan Qing who was waiting there, waved his hand, and let the guard pushing the cart go away.He personally pushed Yan Qing along the long corridor to the back office.

It was the fourth watch at this time, and the sky was still dark, but there was a white lantern hanging on each colonnade, illuminating the corridor very brightly.

The two walked half the distance in silence, Yan Qing finally couldn't help but said: "Are you really to blame, my lord?"

"Am I that naive?" Wang Xian shook his head and smiled, "Before I promised you, I knew this would happen... It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to arrive suddenly, so I was a little caught off guard."

"To be honest, it's a good thing for the emperor to come today. If Li Chun's words are passed to the emperor's ears through other people's mouths, it will be bad for the emperor." Yan Qing said.

"Then you still trick me?" Wang Xian smiled wryly.

"No, I know the emperor will definitely come." Yan Qing said surprisingly.

"Oh, where did you know?" Wang Xian asked in surprise.

"Your Excellency took over later, I don't know how big this case was at that time." Yan Qing said indifferently: "At that time, it had become the posture of the Jinyi Guards to fight against the Criminal Division of the Three Law Departments. Although Ji Gang was powerful, without the support of the Emperor, he It’s not that big of a deal.”

"You mean, the emperor was actually tied to the chariot by Ji Gang?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"Tied to a chariot? This metaphor is very vivid." Yan Qing nodded and said: "Although Li Chun only confessed today, the emperor was already aware of this because of his cleverness, but at that time the emperor was already on the verge of riding a tiger. In order to protect his own The authority can only disregard the truth and state law, and insist on giving Qi Dazhu a death penalty, and my subordinates, Liu Shangshu and Wang Zongxian, were also demoted to the army..." After a pause, he said mockingly: "It seems that this scene is the emperor's death. He once again defended his authority. But in fact, the real winner is only Ji Gang. As Li Chun said, he took advantage of the emperor's weakness to beat his opponent to the ground...The Criminal Division, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all severely injured. Although Hu Gai of Dali Temple was alone, his reputation plummeted, and he could no longer hold his head up in the scholarly circle. The weakness of the emperor was also exposed, which not only failed to achieve the purpose of maintaining authority, but gave careerists an opportunity to take advantage of it. "

"A careerist?" Wang Xian frowned slightly: "You mean those two princes..."

"That's right." Yan Qing nodded and said, "Their behavior last year was exactly the same as Ji Gang, is it a coincidence?"
