Hao Fenglou has entered Beijing.

Or in other words, several prisoners of crime have been escorted to the capital.

The capital suddenly became a boil. There were grievances and debts, and there were grievances and revenge. It was naturally time to take revenge.

The prisoner was directly detained in Dali Temple. The Dali Temple was already busy, and suddenly there were several large Buddhas placed here, so no one dared to take it lightly.

Since the person has arrived, he has to pass the trial. The imperial court has indeed found a clear letter, so Dali Temple will be asked to interrogate first.

Yan Heng, the minister of Dali Temple, was in trouble at this time. After the trial, how should he be tried? Although he didn't like Hao Fenglou and these nobles, he followed the vast trend when everyone pushed him down, and he was very sarcastic.

But it is one thing to scold people, but it is another thing to be the target of public criticism.

Many people in the capital were connecting with each other and recruiting people everywhere. Some even threatened that anyone who dared to act rashly would fight him.

The ancestors’ doctrine of the mean is clear, so don’t be the first bird.

Yan Heng didn't want to be the first to be a leader, but he was responsible, but he had no choice but to pay his respects to Xie Jin.

Speaking of this Lord Yan, in terms of identity and qualifications, he is not comparable to Xie Jin. He was the head of the Ministry of Justice during the Hongwu period and the Minister of Justice during the Jianwen period.

Before Xie Jin won the top scorer, he had already become a scholar. In this era where qualifications are emphasized everywhere, many people are unwilling to be dissatisfied with Xie Jin and others, but they are not convinced. They are at the center and are in charge of information. Now they can only put down their figure and ask for advice.

Xie Jin was on duty in the palace. Unlike other yamen, some other yamen have heavy business, and it is common to pay the tax a few hours later because of heavy business. It is common, especially in the past two years, the emperor has a bit of the nature of Emperor Taizu. He is late and leave early, which means he dies early. The scholars are different. The palace gate must be closed when the time comes, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Therefore, he must leave the palace before the palace gate falls. Therefore, even if there is a huge thing, the time he pays the tax a day will not be destroyed.

When Xie Jin's sedan chair arrived at the mansion, Yan Heng had already checked the time and had been waiting here for a long time.

Xie Jin was not surprised by Yan Heng's arrival. He got out of the sedan chair and was not in a hurry to greet Yan Heng. He arrived in the hall and invited Yan Heng to have tea.

Facing this Dali Temple Minister who was much older than himself, Xie Jin was as calm as water and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Mr. Yan here?"

The tone was solemn and a little distant.

Yan Heng smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor is here to make the case of Hao Fenglou and others. Can Duke Jie give some clarification?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Yes. I know your difficulties. You are the minister of Dali Temple. Your responsibilities are there, but outside, there is a storm in the city. Your case is so eye-catching. It is said that the Mu family in Yunnan has suddenly become complicated. Even the border town is not at peace. There are people in the north of Zhili, and everyone is full of murderous intent."

Yan Heng laughed even more bitterly: "The officials are not worried about anything else. Since they are the ministers of Dali Temple, they are responsible for the national criminal name, so they are responsible for the responsibility... just..."

Xie Jin smiled again and said, "It's just that there is no need to cause this trouble. He wants to help the world, but he also needs to protect himself, right?"

Yan Heng was murmured. Although these words were a little harsh, he agreed.

Xie Jin said: "What's wrong with this? In fact, this matter is easy. Many people have to be complicated, not necessarily for Hao Fenglou. You have to pass the trial. It's just to catch Hao Fenglou's guilt. Yes, if you want to find his guilt, you don't have to make trouble on mobilizing officers and soldiers, and kill him to kill King Annan. And the situation on Annan is very bad, so you have to put all the chaos in Annan on him. As for others, you don't have to pass the trial for the time being. In this way, the offenders will be offended.

Just a little less. As for the others, you don’t have to pay attention to it. You just need to try the case and force Hao Fenglou to bear all the blame. Wouldn’t Zhang Fu and others be saved? I’m afraid that in the future, not only will some people not vent their anger on you, but they will be grateful to you too late. But the problem is whether he admits Hao Fenglou’s crime or not. If he doesn’t admit it, not only will the court think that you are not good at doing things, but even if Zhang Fu and others want to get rid of the crime, it will be difficult."

Yan Heng suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Jie means... As long as Hao Fenglou confesses his guilt, everything will be solved?"

Xie Jin said: "Someone has to take the blame. OK, it's useless to say more. You can think about it yourself."

Yan Heng seemed to have a little enlightenment, and did not say anything else, but just bowed and said, "Goodbye."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The dignified Dali Temple Minister ran to ask for instructions for a case. Yan Heng really felt that he couldn't hide his face, but it seemed that he had gained a lot, so he felt relaxed.

Xie Jin's meaning is nothing more than forcing Hao Fenglou to confess his guilt. If Hao Fenglou admits his guilt and takes all the relationships into him, then the others will naturally be innocent. This is indeed the most secure way to do so.

But a new question has emerged. Will the man named Hao plead guilty?

A headache.

Yan Heng had to take a little thought. He understood that if he let the water go, the Qingliu people would definitely be unsatisfied, and he would inevitably scold him so that he could not go out. But if all of them were judged and they were too strict, many people would be dissatisfied. Walking on the street, there was a high possibility that they would be photographed.

The only way is to make trouble for Hao Fenglou alone, to kill Hao Fenglou and put all the blame on him, and to please him on both sides. As for Hao Fenglou, although this person is not easy to provoke, his father is a Marquis of Luzhou, and there are many relatives who are either rich or noble, but Yan Heng knew that compared to those two groups of people, this person is much easier to provoke.

Then... let's just go to the point.

Yan Heng first found a minister and asked, "Where are the criminals who are detained?"

"East wing..."

The East Chamber is a slander... In fact, there is no prison in Dali Temple, but there are places where people are detained, which are divided into east and west wings. Because all the detained officials are criminals, the treatment is naturally good, especially the East Chamber, which has a deep courtyard and complete furniture. Apart from restricting personal freedom, everything is fine.

Yan Heng said lightly: "Yes, can anyone visit him these days?"

"His wife and some old friends have come a few times."

Yan Heng sneered: "This is a criminal, how can you meet just by saying that you can meet? If someone visits you in the future, whether it is to bring things or meet each other, you will block them all."

The officials of the hall were confused and said, "Sir, this is not appropriate. After all, they have the relationship with the Governor's Office, and..."

Yan Heng laughed even colder and said, "Is that true? But we are serving the country and we have personal affairs to follow? The most important thing in this case is Hao Fenglou. Naturally, we cannot let people collude with others. Otherwise, if something happens, can you and I afford it? Also, move Hao Fenglou to the west wing and take strict supervision. After a few days, the official will personally interrogate him."

West Chamber...

The officials couldn't help but take a breath. This west wing is not a good place to go compared to the east wing. It's no different from the prison there, even...

Yan Heng said seriously: "That's how things are done. There is a mess. I am responsible for it. You don't have to worry. We are doing things in public. What kind of mistakes can we make?"

After explaining the matter clearly and sending the officials away, Yan Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, he might not want to offend people, but in order to offend some people as little as possible, he had to offend one person until he died.

Now that things have come, he has no way out.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou was moved to the west wing. When he was in the east wing, he had enough wine and food. He could buy whatever he wanted. As long as he took out the money, he could ask the clerk to buy it on his behalf. As long as he wanted to get the snacks in Nanjing, he could always get you the food. Moreover, the residence was clean, and the place where he lived was a small room with a transparent room.

But when I moved to the West Chamber, it was completely different. This was definitely not the West Chamber in the West Chamber, nor was it a woman's boudoir. It was not only dirty, but also small. In a cave, there were mud and bed bugs. Although there was no shackle, it was also an unbearable thing for Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou was surprisingly calm. He had already made the worst plan, but what he could not have imagined was that the worst result would come so quickly.

But... the more this happens, the calmer he becomes. He wants to rush out of the cage, and there seems to be something missing right now.

But what's going on now?

This was his only hope to survive, or to escape from sin, but... he was now in a cage, although he had already arranged it, but he had cut off his connection with the outside world and could not do whatever he wanted, which made him feel a little depressed.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mentality. No matter what, relying solely on this, he must not crush himself. He staggered all the way and never regretted it when he came to this point, but he would never be discouraged.

The only thing he could guess now was that someone planned to take the blame for Annan alone and finally achieve the goal of putting himself to death.

But...is it easy?

Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou wanted to smile contemptuously, but he couldn't laugh. It was too dirty and smelly.

The crew sent steamed buns, which were really stiff, but Hao Fenglou pinched them down little by little and chewed them slowly in his mouth. He couldn't starve himself to death, and there were still many wonderful things waiting for him outside.
