Chapter 406 Sending plums (1)
"Did you find anything?" Zhu Li's voice clearly meant that those who believed in him would not return without success, and would come back and cry to him after they could do nothing.

"Yes. The slave looked hard, and finally showed it clearly to the slave. There are a lot of instruments of torture piled up inside." Fu Yan reported that she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

After the reorganization of the Clan Mansion, Lord Wanli kept the prison cells, but all the instruments of torture used by the Clan Mansion to torture prisoners were abolished.This is what Zhu Li heard from Gongsun Liangsheng.Undoubtedly, Master Wanli did this precisely because in his previous age, he had seen too many relatives kill each other and suffered torture in the clan mansion, many of which were painful experiences of being tortured into tricks.It's okay for ordinary prisoners to torture them, but those are their relatives.Master Wanli left a sequela in his heart, saying that he would never let this kind of thing continue to happen to his descendants.

In this way, the rumor is true. The Clan Mansion has abolished the law of torture, and prisoners cannot be tortured for interrogation.If this is true, how was the princess tortured to the point of insanity?
Li Min recalled that when she met the princess at night, she had lost eyesight, disheveled hair, and tattered clothes. However, there seemed to be no particularly obvious bloodstains on her body, which meant that she had not been tortured.

There are only two possibilities left, either the Crown Princess is pretending to be crazy, or the Crown Princess is scared crazy?
Maybe even the emperor still can't figure out why the princess is crazy.Obviously, he abolished the instruments of torture in the clan mansion.

"Apart from these, did you see anything else?" Zhu Li asked.

Fu Yan replied: "My lord, I also saw a strange thing. I have never seen that thing before, so I don't know what it is."

"tell me the story."

"It doesn't look like a torture tool, it seems to be an animal. But the slave thinks, that place is sealed, if the animal dies inside, it must not be moldy and smelly? However, the slave doesn't know if it is the lack of light, although I can't tell if it's rotten and moldy, but I can be sure that I don't smell the stench of rotting corpses."

"animal?"

Li Min suddenly thought of something from their words, and asked Fu Yan: "Is it dry or wet inside?"

Fu Yan was taken aback by her words, and quickly looked at her with admiration and said, "It's dry inside. It's very dry. Originally, the cellar was wet. But, that place was full of sand. The slave doesn’t know if someone covered the floor and walls with sand when the cell was abandoned. The slave doesn’t quite know their intention.”

"To put it simply, a wet environment is easy to cause bacteria to multiply, which will destroy a lot of things. A dry environment is easier to preserve things. This is the same as the need for books to be ventilated and dry." Facing the doubts of the two of them, Li Min said expressed his own opinion.

It seemed that there was something in those prison cells that Lord Wanli wanted to preserve and didn't want to be destroyed by time.I am afraid that this thing cannot be transferred, so the cell can only be closed.

If possible, it would not be bad to break through the wall and find out the secrets inside.However, if they do this, they don't want to live. It's too obvious, and it will arouse the suspicion of Master Wanli.How could the secret of Lord Wanli be peeped at will.

"Let's talk about it when we go back." Zhu Li said, "I'm afraid that when the emperor wakes up, he will find us staying in the clan's mansion, and he will feel uneasy, wishing to get us out immediately."

Li Min looked at his confident expression, and knew that even though Fu Yan provided little information, it must have been right about what he guessed in his heart, so there was no need to explore further.

A ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window of the cell.Li Min stretched her waist.The people in the clan's mansion seemed to have not slept well last night, and they all looked haggard and panicked.Because, the emperor first went to Concubine Shu to rest last night. Due to the busy schedule during the day and being disturbed by the affairs of the Crown Princess and the East Palace, the extremely exhausted Lord Wanli, after lying down in Concubine Shu’s Jingyang Palace, fell asleep. It was dawn.

The emperor didn't know about the empress dowager's decree to send Li Min to the clan mansion.After waking up in the morning, when he heard the people below, Master Wanli sprayed all the tea on the face of Eunuch Zhang, who reported the news.

Eunuch Zhang's shock and panic was said to be the first time since he entered the palace.

Lord Wanli didn't open his mouth to scold or punish Eunuch Zhang, he didn't lose his temper and throw glasses like everyone imagined, but when he heard that the eldest prince took the initiative to ask the queen mother to release Li Min, he nodded, as if showing his anger. Satisfied, he said: "My son, the eldest prince, is still ill, but he is able to deal with affairs calmly in the face of danger. It is not in vain for me to let him return to the palace."

Eunuch Zhang pondered what the emperor meant, and he clearly stood in the camp of the eldest prince, hoping to release Li Min from the clan mansion quickly.

Not surprisingly, an imperial decree was sent to the clan's mansion immediately, and the people in the clan's mansion all looked at each other with sullen faces and looked at each other with eyes that they knew.

After two luxurious palanquins picked up Duke Hu and his wife, Langzhong Zeng and other officials in the clan's mansion wiped the hot sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.The weather was obviously cool and the wind was howling, but all of them were sweating profusely, their bodies were hot, and their hearts were empty.

Looking back, Langzhong Zeng found the notepad that Fu Yan had taken away from his office case, opened the unfinished page last night, quickly tore it off, threw it into the stove and burned it.

I knew I would not write it, but it would not be good to hand over to the Queen Mother.Now that it is burned, it can be handed over to the emperor.As for the negotiations between the emperor and the queen mother, that is none of their business.Anyway, the Clan's Mansion does things according to the meaning of the Emperor and Empress Dowager.It has always been so, and it remains so today.To say that the most stupid one is that Empress Xiaode, if she confronts the emperor before her son ascends the throne, she will definitely suffer a big loss.The current empress Sun has learned the lesson of the previous empress, knowing that everything should be done according to the emperor's wishes.However, who would have thought that if he really followed the emperor's wishes, would someone else really take the lead?

In the palace, it's all about who strikes first.Zeng Langzhong snorted coldly twice, and he knew why Zhu Li and himself had recited the old relationship between Zhu Huaisheng last night.It can only be said that Zhu Li is not like his father, really not.Let him Zeng Langzhong almost look at him with admiration.

The sedan chair moved towards the Jingyang Palace where Concubine Shu was staying.It is said that the morning light broke through the foggy and cloudy sky in the capital for several days, but in the bright and dazzling light, the little bits of cotton that fell down like cotton wool could be anything but snow.

This is the first snow that has fallen in the capital this year. It is said that auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year.It's snowing right now.
