Chapter 42 Prison(1/2)
These officers and soldiers were wearing green helmets and gray armor, holding long spears, and they were all full of murderous intent.
Fan Xiaodao continued: "Misunderstanding, we are from the Six Doors."
The leading officer and soldier said: "Six doors? It's you who will be arrested! Come here, protect the scene, collect enough evidence, take them back to the prison, and interrogate them properly."
Fan Xiaodao's first reaction was to run.
Zhao Xing stopped him and whispered: "He is from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division."
The Wucheng Military and Horse Department is responsible for the public security of the five cities in Beijing, the city department, and the monitoring of prices, dredging of ditches, etc. In terms of functions, there is some conflict with the duties of the Liumen, so the two yamen do not usually work together.
How to deal with it. It is said that someone once submitted a letter to merge the Military and Horse Department and the Six Gates, but the former belongs to the Ministry of War and the latter belongs to the Ministry of Punishment. However, both departments refused to give in, so they had to delay again and again.
The soldiers controlled the two men, searched them, and reported: "Commander Liu, we found ten gold bars, one thousand taels of silver, and nine thousand taels of silver notes from the two of them. It turns out that the money was stolen from the consort's house."
That batch.”
Stolen?
Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing immediately understood that they had been plotted by Qian Shoudao.
Today at Qian Shoudao's house, things went so smoothly that it was unbelievable. It turned out that the guy had no intention of surrendering from the beginning, but used his plan to kill people and silence them, and framed the two of them.
The commander surnamed Liu said: "At the scene of the murder, both the people and the stolen goods were taken away. Take the two of them back and wait for their fate!"
…
"Welcome to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Prison!"
As soon as he entered the prison, a line of big red characters came into his eyes. The leader of the prison said with a smile, "Our prison has launched a special service. It is divided into cells A, B, C and third. Which one do you two want?"
Fan Xiaodao asked, "How come the prison is divided into three levels? Can you introduce me to them?"
The cell leader said: "This is the idea that our commander came up with. There are rich and ordinary people in the capital. Even if they are in prison, their needs are different. This first-class cell has two large bedrooms and a courtyard, and is unique.
building, lighting
Well, it’s open to all sides and you can soak in hot springs. It’s five taels of silver a day. The second-class cell has only a single room, three meals a day, two meat and one vegetarian. You can take a bath, one or two a day. The third-class cell is Datongpu.
Now, one hundred articles a day.”
"You commanders are really good at making money, so let's be first-class."
The prison head said: "Fifty taels of silver a day, half a month in advance."
"No money."
"If you don't have money, then live in Tongpu."
Fan Xiaodao said to the cell leader: "To tell you the truth, my brother is a prison keeper of the Six Gates, and we are half of the same team. How about this, please be accommodating. If you fall into the hands of our Six Gates in the future, I will give it to you too."
How about getting a single room to live in? This is called resource replacement."
"Bah, you crow's mouth, come on, you have a palm mouth!"
Two jailers came up, took the small board, and were about to step forward.
Zhao Xingdao: "I didn't say anything."
"Treat everyone equally! If the brothers from the Six Gates fall into our hands, we, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, cannot neglect them. We should reciprocate as courtesy!"
Both of them received ten small slabs. Although they had internal protection, their faces were red and swollen. They were put into cell No. C. There was also a man dressed as a businessman in the cell at the same time. After asking, he found out
, he was caught in the market because he was short of a few pounds.
"It seems that their efficiency here is not very good."
Zhao Xingdao: "Their Military and Horse Division has no power to handle cases, and most of the people they arrest are unscrupulous traders."
The merchant said: "What do you mean by an unscrupulous merchant? In today's East and West markets, which merchant is not short of money? I'm just unlucky and got caught. Why were you two arrested?"
"kill!"
When the vendor saw them wearing police uniforms, he couldn't help but shiver and huddled in the corner.
Fan Xiaodao said: "When I came in just now, I saw that their guards were lax. Why do they pursue light and transparency? With our martial arts, it is easy to escape. Why don't we run out tonight?"
Zhao Xing shook his head, "Once you escape from prison, you and I will be able to escape by jumping into the Yellow River."
"Then what should we do? That Qian's plan to frame us will definitely have a back-up plan. We are at the scene of the crime, and we have stolen money with us. If he proves it with irrefutable evidence, it will be like jumping into the Yellow River to clean it up."
Suddenly a voice came from the corner, "You two are coming in too?"
Only then did they notice that there was another person in the cell. However, the lights inside were dim and he was hiding in the corner, unaware of their presence. They looked intently and saw that it was the fortune teller who had set up a stall on the street in the morning.
Fan Xiaodao asked curiously: "Why did you come in too?"
"Don't mention it," said the fortune teller, "In all calculations, I missed this move. Today, the commander of the Military and Horse Department, your lord, fished for law enforcement and brought me in in the name of deception. By the way, today I will give you
The hexagram you two calculated, you two will have a fortune, but you will be in jail, and it really came true."
At the Gua stall in the morning, Fan Xiaodao blocked his "but" before he could say it. Now that they met again in prison, he couldn't help but sigh. Fan Xiaodao didn't believe these things, but the facts made it impossible for him to refute.
"Do you have a solution?"
The fortune teller said: "Shenghui is one tael of silver."
"Is this all you need money for?"
The fortune teller said: "I'm the fortune teller from Tianji Pavilion. I'm a fortune teller with an iron mouth and a golden blade. I've always been an honest man when doing business. You can start with just one tael of silver!"
"I don't have any money. How about I give it to you after I get out?"
The divine fortune teller said: "I just told you a fortune, and it seems that you may not be able to get out."
Fan Xiaodao snorted, "You bastard, just say this. When you get out in the future, I will lock you in the six-door prison for a few more days."
Zhao Xing looked around, looked around for a long time, and then said: "We have to find a way to get the news out, otherwise we will wait until it is nailed down and become an ironclad case, which will bring trouble to Lord Zhuge."
He added: "Xia Yuhe's mother and son were killed on the front foot, and people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrived on the back foot. If they say they didn't know about it in advance, I don't believe it for the first time. You can guess this with your toes, it must be money.
That guy Shoudao did it and put the blame on our brothers. Unexpectedly, that guy seemed so honest and honest, but he was so ruthless in what he did."
Fan Xiaodao's eyes were gloomy, "This revenge must be avenged."
At this time, someone outside the door smiled and said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing how you two take revenge!"
Qian Shoudao!
Fan Xiaodao saw the visitor, it was Princess Taiping's consort Qian Shoudao. At this moment, he had changed into an official uniform, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking calm and composed, "Brother Fan, we meet again."
"You are a despicable and shameless person, you actually designed to frame us!"
Qian's consort smiled slightly, showing his two front teeth, and said: "The mother and son from Jinan Mansion came to my house several times to cause trouble, and I sent people to drive them out. I didn't expect that you came to me again today, and I also
I have no choice but to use my plan to lure you into the trap. Ten thousand taels of silver are worth spending to express my inner feelings!"
Fan Xiaodao's eyes were full of anger, "Is this a matter of money? This is two lives!"
"They are just two untouchables. The lives of ants are not worth mentioning. But they are two people who stole money and killed people. They also got the stolen goods. There is a mountain of irrefutable evidence. Their killing methods are even more brutal. I am afraid that the file has been sent to the young minister of Dali Temple.
There is no way that you will be convicted tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, this case is of a bad nature, and I will definitely let them set an example and kill them to serve as a warning to others."
Fan Xiaodao couldn't help feeling disgusted when he saw Qian's face, "Why did you frame us?"
"Framing? I'm afraid that's inappropriate." Consort Qian said, "You two have been entangled in the matter of Baihua Tower, and you have already offended some big shots. They don't want you to live. Of course, you can give Zhao Shangshu something by the way.
The chaos is worth it."
Now Zhao Huan, the Minister of Rites, is fully responsible for the negotiations with the Northern Zhou envoy. This Zhao Shangshu was aggressive and refused to give in during the negotiations, leaving the Northern Zhou envoy very passive. If something happened to Zhao Xing at this time, he would be
As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, lax discipline will naturally give opportunities for impeachment by political opponents.
Zhao Xing seemed to grasp the problem and couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Qian Shoudao, one day, I will personally take you to jail!"
Qian Shoudao laughed loudly: "What to catch?"
Zhao Xingdao: "The long sword in your hand, the justice in your heart, and the Ming Law!"
"You two are already in trouble, why are you in the mood to think about this?" Qian Shoudao said: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I have already told them that I will prepare something for you two tonight.
A generous gift, a customized special repair gift package for Bingma Division Dalao! Haha!"
…
Zhuge Xianyu was having a meeting at the six gates. At this time, the gate came to report that Master Murong of the Jinyi Guards had come to visit and had something urgent to report. Murong Tiezhu was the deputy commander of Fusi in Nanzhen and a confidant of Xue Yingxiong.
Being on the same level as Zhuge, Zhuge Xianyu heard the words and did not dare to neglect him, so he went to the door to greet him.
"Mr. Murong, what kind of wind is blowing here? Please come in quickly."
Murong Tiezhu dismissed everyone and said to Zhuge Xianyu: "No need, the chief arrester, Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing is the arrester of your clan, right?"
"Exactly!"
"They committed a crime at Rujia Inn and were captured by the people of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. They are now imprisoned in the prison of the Military and Horse Division. This matter is a bit tricky. It is not convenient for us adults to take action, so I specially asked me to tell you.
The words have been delivered, farewell!"
When Zhuge Xianyu heard that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had arrested someone on his own head, he was furious and prepared to lead a team to seize the person.
Yang Deshui, the deputy general manager, said: "Sir, don't be impatient about this matter. The matter is now at this point. Should we first send an official letter and send someone to inquire about it, and then make a decision after they reply?"
