Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 441 Fan Jin pretends to be crazy
Seeing Cai Shaobing repeating his old tricks, Xie Yaohuan was calm and composed, and watched the yamen servants bring the torture tools to the court with his own eyes. She is a weak woman, and she has never shown the slightest fear.

"Xie Zhongju, I advise you to find him quickly!" Cai Shaobing had been out of Beijing for two months and had never used the trick of torture and interrogation. Now that his old enemy was right in front of him, he subconsciously revealed Xie Yaohuan's alias in excitement.

Xie Yaohuan stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "There is only Xie Yaohuan, the prefect of Caozhou, but no Xie Zhongju!"

"If you don't want to be punished, I forgive you for not recruiting!" Cai Shaobing held a gavel and grinned grimly, "Give me a stick!"

All the yamen servants in Daotai Yamen are the confidantes of Changsun Anye, so they naturally know the new and old grudges between Changsun Wuji and Fang Yiai. At this moment, facing the women of Fang Yiai, they are gearing up one by one, wishing to torture her to death immediately .

When the two yamen servants walked behind Xie Yaohuan holding their bats, she, who had been standing all the time, suddenly said, "I am an important minister of the imperial court, how dare you use punishment!"

"Huh! Xie Yaohuan, you are just a magistrate. I am the governor of Henan Province. I can't beat you?" After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson Anye slapped the gavel and said loudly: "Just listen to Cai Zhizhou's arrangement, what's the matter?" I will take responsibility for the disaster!"

As soon as these words came out, the two yamen servants raised their legs and put their strength on Xie Yaohuan's inner knee. The huge impact made the weak Xie Yaohuan fall to the ground immediately. It belongs to this body.

Clamping the scorpion, the two yamen servants pulled hard, and Xie Yaohuan's jade hands were instantly torn apart, and blood trickled down, the scene was extremely horrifying.

"Xie Yaohuan, do you have an affair with the Turks? Where is the official seal now?" Cai Shaobing is familiar with the process of interrogation and extortion of confessions. Now that he is in Henan Province, he is absolutely sure that Xie Yaohuan will be tortured. , and then bound to the execution ground for treason charges.

"Cai thief!" Xie Yaohuan bit her crimson lips tightly, shouted at Cai Shaobing angrily, resisting the severe pain and said: "You said that I rebelled against the imperial court, do you have evidence?"

Seeing that Xie Yaohuan was punished, Cai Shaobing was very pleased, he caressed the severed finger of his right hand, he had already regarded Xie Yaohuan as his wife, "The lost official seal is your confrontation!"

"Since the official seal is lost, how can it be seen that it was done by this official?" Xie Yaohuan paused for a while, her fingers connected to her heart, the sharp pain at her fingertips made her sweat, and the clothes on her back were mostly wet immediately.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yaohuan endured the severe pain of being tortured, and said again: "Last night, there was a fire in the government office, and none of the Zhizhou and the governor were at the scene. Why did I deliberately hand over the official seal to the Turkic thief?"

"Besides, Henan Province is located in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and Caozhou is the central state and county of Henan Province. Why did the Turkic thieves come to collude with me?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cai Shaobing and Changsun Anye were both speechless, and the two exchanged glances, none of them expected that Xie Yaohuan would have such quick wit.

"In Chang'an before, I only knew that she was strong and strong, but I didn't expect her to be so talented!" Cai Shaobing was speechless secretly, and then thought, "If I let her go this time, Fang Jun will not be willing to divorce me when he comes back. Now the government The yamen has already been burned, and the official seal has been hidden in the Daotai yamen, so we simply do one thing and keep doing the other!"

After settling his mind, Cai Shaobing snorted coldly, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?"

Faced with Cai Shaobing's persecution, Xie Yaohuan closed his eyes and let his eldest grandson Anye and Cai Shaobing shout, but he refused to say even a word.

From the interrogation at noon to the approaching dusk, Xie Yaohuan used all kinds of sticks, sticks, water and fire sticks, and killing power sticks, but Xie Yaohuan was like a stone statue, allowing several people to torture, but he didn't even utter a cold snort.

After failing to extract a confession, Cai Shaobing and his eldest grandson Anye had no choice but to take Xie Yaohuan back to prison. It is a pity that the magistrate was deposed by the eldest grandson Anye in this way, and his treatment and treatment were not as good as those of a famous scholar.

At sunset, Fan Jin, who was hiding in the inn in the south of the city, did not see any news from Xie Yaohuan for a long time. After several inquiries, he learned that the government office was closely guarded by the Daotai Yamen, so he couldn't help thinking of going to Chang'an to report to Fang Yiai. thoughts.

Fan Jin stared at the window, fumbled for the letter paper on his waist several times, and murmured: "I wonder if Madam is back?"

After a lot of hard thinking, Fan Jin simply closed the window, sat on the couch and murmured: "Why don't you go to the house tomorrow morning to find out, if Madam doesn't come back, then go out of the city and go to Chang'an to report the letter to Ming Gong."

Rao made up his mind, but Fan Jin couldn't sleep all night, he waited until the fourth watch, and then he dared to leave the inn, and went to Tongju's house to inquire about Xie Yaohuan's news.

When he came to the mansion, he learned that Xie Yaohuan hadn't returned all night. Fan Jin knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked his wife for more than a dozen taels of silver, and then rushed towards the city gate without stopping.

Last night, Cai Shaobing discussed countermeasures with his eldest grandson, Anye. Seeing that Fan Jin was nowhere to be seen, he sent a team of police officers to guard the city gate, and asked the police officers who had seen Fan Jin's face to sit in person to prevent this Master Fan from being fooled. Get out of town.

Walking fast all the way, before Fan Jin reached the gate of the city, he found the team of arresters in the official clothes of the Daotai Yamen.

"It's broken! Cai Shaobing must have sent someone to get me!" Fan Jin hid in the alley, rolled his small eyes a few times, and immediately greeted the eight generations of Cai Shaobing's ancestors.

"What should I do? If the letter cannot be delivered to Duke Ming, wouldn't Madam be in danger?"

Fan Jin stretched out two fingers, tapped his forehead repeatedly, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and said in a low voice: "During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yili in the Qi State was the only power, and Tian Dan, the patrolling censor, secretly protected the son of the Eastern Palace from the city by pretending to be crazy!"

"That's right! Play crazy! That's my idea!"

Thinking of the coup, Fan Jin's subordinates lost all importance, and slapped his forehead hard, only to hear "Ouch", but the old boy lost his head with joy.

With a cry of pain, Fan Jin looked around, then squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt, closed his eyes, and wiped it on his cheeks.

In the alley, Fan Jin was trying his best to display his clumsy disguise technique. In front of the city gate, the general policemen all widened their eyes, looking at the passers-by, and all their eyes were fixed on the long beard under the jaw, because Cai Shaobing It was once said that Fan Jin was an old man with a gray beard.

"Your name is Fan?"

"The old man's surname is not Fan, but the old man's surname is Zhou. It's not easy to think about a porridge and a meal."

"Get out! What is it! How dare you make fun of me!"

Just as the police were busy investigating the old scholars in the past, they only heard a burst of strange words in their ears.

"Tai Shang Lao Jun is in a hurry like a law."

"Golden Cicada Immortal is about to appear!"

"I was originally an immortal in the sky, but the Jade Emperor demoted me to the mortal world."

Hearing the words of the magic stick, the police and pedestrians looked at each other in blank dismay, and then all looked at the source of the voice.

Fan Jin's face was covered with dust, he had lost the Confucian scarf on his head somewhere, he had one shoe on and the other was bare, and he wobbled and wobbled as he walked, not at all like a scholar.

"Hey! Stop! Stop that madman!" Seeing Fan Jin getting closer and seeing his gray beard, the police officers suddenly became suspicious.

Fan Jin didn't listen to the crowd's scolding, walked to the city gate, rolled up his sleeves, and cursed loudly: "Bold! Presumptuous! How unreasonable! It's worth it!"

"what?"

"Is he Fan Jin?"

"It's almost like being sick!"

Seeing everyone staring sideways at him, Fan Jin became determined, pointed to the leading officer and said, "Wu Na officer! Quickly open the door with your grandfather! Let me out of the city!"

"Grandpa? I'm still your uncle! What do you do? Are you Fan Jin?"

"I'm the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor!" Fan Jin rubbed his nose and whispered solemnly.

"The son-in-law of the Jade Emperor? You old man is really amazing!"

"Don't talk nonsense with him, ask him if he's that old boy Fan Jin!" As they said, several arresters gathered around, staring at Fan Jin with rounded eyes, wishing they could fetch a basin of clean water for Fan Jin. Clean the dirt off your face.

Fan Jin stroked his beard, then blew his nose, and said loudly, "My name is Zhao Qiansun! Or Zhou Wuzheng! Or your second uncle!"

"Old thing! You want to be beaten!" The policeman lost his temper after being scolded by Fan Jin, and wanted to beat him up, but saw that he was weak and afraid that he would die with a punch, so he could only scold him from afar. The momentary atmosphere was indescribably funny.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! The arrest of the Caozhou government, see if this is the master of your government!"

The government officials walked forward slowly, looked at Fan Jin for a few times, and recognized this Master Fan from his figure.

"he is!"

Before the words "Fan Jin" could be uttered, Fan Jin covered the policeman's mouth, "My son, I am your father!"

"I'm your grandpa!" The policeman was taken aback by the words. He, who has been walking in the market all year round, naturally didn't want to be taken advantage of in his words. He only cared about bickering with Fan Jin, but forgot to identify Fan Jin's identity.

"Aha!" Cursing and cursing, Fan Jin suddenly jumped up, then laughed three times.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"a ha ha ha."

None of the crowd had seen this battle before, seeing Fan Jin laughing and jumping, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, wanting to see what tricks this madman could pull off.

"Look." Fan Jin looked up at the sky and said loudly, "There is an official in a red robe above the clouds, and he came to pick me up."

"Huh? Is there someone on the cloud?"

"Nonsense! I didn't even see a chicken feather!"

"This is my father-in-law, he sent someone to meet me. I'm going to heaven! Let's go to Nantianmen!" Fan Jin quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins from his waist, threw them into the sky, and then walked quickly He ran out of the city gate.

There were a few pieces of silver in the copper coins, and when the policemen saw this, they went to pick them up one after another, but Fan Jin took advantage of the loophole.

When the crowd looted all the copper coins and broken silver, Fan Jin had long since disappeared. Seeing this, the arresters could only relieve themselves and said, "It's just a madman."

"No, I think he looks strangely familiar." The government official quickly scratched his head and muttered in a low voice.

"That is, isn't he your father?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I said you just deserve a beating!"

Amidst the quarrels of several people, Fan Jin ran all the way for more than half a mile, and after confirming that no one was chasing him, he squatted on the ground and gasped heavily.

"Cai Shaobing, just wait! When Duke Ming comes back, I will definitely kill you!"

Cursing at Caozhou City, Fan Jin didn't care about rest, bought a fast horse at a roadside inn, took Xie Yaohuan's handwritten letter, and galloped straight along the official road towards Chang'an City.
