Chapter 230 Death row
Suddenly, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui disappeared, which surprised Jia Shifang, who was determined to die, for a moment. Then he reacted suddenly, turned around and jumped down the window. Then a gust of wind ran towards the back door.
While Jia Shifang left the silver box, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui had already gotten on the carriage parked at the door. The old guy heard the manager report that Jia Shifang had left the silver box, and then smiled at Wu Mian and said, "For the sake of Shao Tingfang's face, I know that you can't do it. It's not that I praised him for having such skills, and there are not many people who listen to my wife. One dies less..."
Wu Mian glanced at Gui Bugui with his unique look and said, "Yes, there are not many children in the world who want to die with his father. If you say this nonsense, be careful of one less..."
When he heard Wu Mian say Bai Wuqiu, Gui Bugui had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense. He hurriedly ordered the carriage to drive towards the direction of the Five City Military and Ma Si Prison. At this time, the sky was completely dark. When it was time for the curfew, there were no other people walking around in the street except for their carriage.
Gui Bugui carried the roadway given by Prince Yi, and when he met soldiers who were patrolling the night, no one dared to stop him as long as he lit up the roadway issued by Prince Yi himself. After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, this was a precedent set by Yongzheng, demonstrating his unique love for this younger brother.
When I saw that as long as I crossed two more streets and was about to arrive at the prison, a team came from the east of the city. At first, the coachman who returned did not return thought he had met the soldiers patrolling the night. He had prepared the road and was waiting for these people to come and check it.
Unexpectedly, after the team approached, the coachman shook his head repeatedly and said to himself, "It's bad luck. I met these dead prisoners at night, and I have to play cards when I go back. Now I'll probably lose to my grandma's house... There are no taboos... It's great luck..."
Listening to the coachman's words, Gui Bugui smiled and saw a pair of prisoners walking across the car window. More than 20 prisoners were taken by more than 30 soldiers and walked towards the direction of the Five City Military and Ma Si Prison. The prisoners were all wearing shackles and walked with a sound of "shaking...shaking" when they walked.
"Where are there any taboos when seeing prisoners? Are we going to the prison? You don't understand, but seeing the heads are taboos. Unfortunately, people nowadays don't understand. When they see a fortune, they try hard to move forward and beat this unlucky lively..." Gui Bugui smiled and said to the coachman, and continued, "Don't hurry to leave, go and ask who they are? Why did they enter the city at this time?"
Gui Bugui spoke, but the coachman dared not refuse to follow. He jumped out of the carriage and ran to the Qiang general who was leading the team opposite. He nodded and said a few words, and while speaking, he turned around and pointed at Wu Mian. Gui Bugui's carriage a few times. It should be that he was talking about the owner of the Sishui family, and Prince Yi Yunxiang's friend was in the carriage.
After saying a few words, the coachman gave a gift to President Qian, returned to the carriage, and said to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, "I have inquired clearly. This is a death row prisoner escorted from Zhili, and he is also sent to the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi. It is about to be the autumnal equinox, and these are all decided by the emperor's red pen. After the autumn, he was about to be taken to Caishikou to ask for the death row. They were originally too late to enter the city, and counted the number of people at the gate of the city. So they have been dragged until now..."
After hearing the coachman's words, Gui Bugui nodded, and then asked again, "I remember Qiu Hou asked about the beheading of the prisoner to beheaded. When did the new rules be established and the transfer was changed to the capital?"
"Boss, you're asking about this, I know it." The coachman smiled and then continued, "In the 55th year of Kangxi, a prisoner in Henan bribed the executioner. He bought a tuberculosis man to kill him. Later, the matter was exposed. Later, Kangxi changed the rules and regulations and escorted the prisoners of Qiuji to the capital, except for the prisoners who were executed by Lixue. Let's see who can bribe the prisoners in Beijing..."
When the coachman was talking, the team escorting prisoners had already arrived next to the carriage. Gui Bugui looked at the prisoners through the car window. These people looked at each other and didn't look like good people. They kept waiting for the team to pass by the carriage. Gui Bugui smiled and said to Wu Mian beside him, "It seems that the prison is going to be lively these days..."
Wu Mian ignored this sentence and asked, "Then do we still have to go to the jail?"
Gui Bugui smiled and said, "This is going even more. Old man, I should know who Robben is waiting for... The coachman, let's go back to the silver number first, and we won't go to the prison tonight." He said he was going to the prison, but Gui Bugui changed his words and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to the silver number of Sishui. The coachman waited for a night, but missed the appointment and did not see the boss again.
From this day on, the capital city could see death row prisoners from other places being escorted to Beijing at all times. These prisoners were sent to various cells for detention. In order to free up cages, some prisoners with low crimes were even driven out to make room for them.
The prison of the five cities' military personnel also began to get busy. Last night, there were 98 prisoners in total. The list was counted and the body was confirmed to be checked until dawn was about to come to an end.
In the morning, when Robben, who had a scarred eye and the pseudonym Deng Dakui and other prisoners returned to the prison, they saw that the head and prisoners who were on the rotation last night were all sleepy. After inquiring, they found out that there were nearly one hundred prisoners in the prison last night.
According to the rules, these death row prisoners must be proved again in front of the prison department. At that moment, ten men and ten women were taken out of the cell, and Robben took the initiative to ask the prisoners to be detained. At that moment, he brought the first wave of ten prisoners to the lobby of the prison department, and beat the prisoners down with the other prisoners.
At this time, the Prison Office picked up the roster and glanced at the names of the people on it. First, he asked Robben to inform these prisoners on his behalf about the rules here, and then listened to Robben's name with a cold face, and told the charges of these death row prisoners...
"He Yuanqing, male, 39 years old. He is from Baoding, Zhili, a monk from Taizhen Temple in Baoding. In the 59th year of Kangxi, he had an affair with a nun in Qingyuan Temple in Funiu Mountain. He killed the monk Zhizhang of Taiping Temple, and the emperor criticized Qiu Hou and asked to behead him..."
"Zhao Dejun, male, 73 years old. He is from Anyang, Henan, the leader of the cult ghost Taoism. Since the 31st year of Kangxi, he has spread ghost Taoism in various places and deceived ignorant women and children. In the 43rd year of Kangxi, he has used evil laws to steal 85,000 taels of official silver in Xi'an. The incident caused the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. Zhao Dejun has done a method to kill 15 officers and soldiers..."
Hearing this, the Prisoner couldn't help but say, "Do you still have to escort the German criminals to the capital in this way? You should be killed and executed..."
Before the Prison Office finished speaking, Robben took the roster to his side and leaned into the Prison Office's ear and said, "Sir, it was originally a killing of Li Jue. However, this man was proficient in evil magic. Knife, arrow shooting, or fire burning was useless. After reporting to the court, His Majesty personally issued an order to escort him to the capital. I heard that this time Qiu Jue invited Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain to take charge. I understand that he has great magical powers and cannot pass Zhang Tianshi."
After hearing this, the Prisoner nodded. He didn't want to provoke the leader of the Ghost Taoist Sect. He said to Robben, "Dakui, don't talk about him anymore, continue with the next prisoner..."
Robben then continued the next prisoner. "Li Xiaojiao, female, 21 years old, had an adultery with her neighbor Wang Sheng, and murdered her husband in the 61st year of Kangxi..."
After working all morning, it was finally easy to detect the prisoners. However, another wave of prisoners came, and it seemed that the prison would not be easy to get out of the prison when it was executed. But that was the case, the Prison Officer and Crave Yan still did not forget to come and curry favor with the big man pretending to be Wuqiu. At lunch, he saw that no one had come to deliver the meal to Prince Yi's mansion, so he hurriedly called a table waiting for the banquet from Wangde Building.
