On the tenth day of the fifth day of the ninth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin and his family left Beijing and returned home. As soon as he left the city, a long prison brigade appeared on the official road in the west of Beijing. Judging from the clothes and temperament of the prisoners in the car, they were obviously scholars, young and old, and there were nearly a hundred people. They all looked sleepy, their lips were shriveled, and some were even covered in blood, describing miserableness.

The person responsible for escorting the prison car was the Dongchang man who was known to be afraid of people and worried about ghosts. In addition, some of them should be soldiers from the Ministry of Justice. People along the way stopped to watch and pointed at the figures in the prison car.

People in the capital are no longer surprised by this kind of prisoner convoy that escort scholars. In fact, since the New Year's Eve, there have been one or two rounds a month, because the West Factory is transporting scholars arrested from all over the country back to Beijing.

Today, this prisoner fleet comes from Hanzhong. The protagonist is the son of Yang Tinghe, the former chief minister of the cabinet, and Yang Shen, the top scorer in the palace examination during the Zhengde period. Most of the people arrested were scholars and teachers from Hannan Academy.

The reason for arresting them in the West Factory has mentioned earlier that privately forming cliques and making false righteous governments is suspected of being rebellious. Once it is involved in rebellion, it is a serious crime of losing one's head, so all the scholars in the prison car were handcuffed and shackled, and Yang Shen received special attention and wore heavy shackles on his neck.

It is said that Yang Shen and his gang were taken over by the Xichang in early March this year. After interrogation in Hanzhong for a period of time, they loaded and carried back to the capital. Due to the long journey and the slow journey of the prison car, they were not taken back to the capital until today.

Although Yang Dacaizi looked very haggard at this moment, his eyes were firm and bright, and his angry fire. He was a man with backbone and not afraid of death. Thinking about the fact that he dared to take the lead in shaking the door in front of Zuoshun's door back then, it can be seen that he was indeed a man who was not afraid of death. His words, "The country has been raising scholars for 150 years, and the ritual of death is on the verge of justice today" are still shocking and inspiring the disciples of the saints to bravely seek justice.

Looking at the capital city walls getting closer and closer, some people were afraid and some were crying in the prison car. After all, not everyone was as afraid of death as Yang Shen, and was involved in the charge of treason, and they were afraid that few of their group could survive.

The prisoner's convoy entered from Guangning Gate and went straight to the prison of Xichang. A group of Xichang men smiled grimly and drove the scholars out of the prison car like animals.

"Brother Xiu, it is said that the Xichang Prison is a purgatory for skin removal. When we part today, we are afraid that we will never meet again. We only have pity for us to serve the country with ambition, but we are framed by the eunuch party and wronged. We have not fulfilled our ambitions in our lifetime and died in the Jackal Cave. We wish we could kill this eunuch Bichun with red eyes and deep voice. Zhao Zhenji said in a deep voice with red eyes.

Yang Shen said proudly: "We scholars are powerful and unyielding, wealth and honor, poverty and humbleness, and life are not happy, and death are not afraid of death. Since we got on this prison car, Yang Shen has long put life and death aside. If we can awaken our emperor with our lives and no longer be deceived by the eunuchs and Zhangs, then will our death be a pity?"

The monk next to him sneered impatiently: "I want to die? It's not easy. If you don't give all your accomplices, you can't die even if you want to die. Hehe, the torture in our West Factory is not something to be covered. Don't say nonsense, just go in?" He said far away and pushed Yang Shen.

Yang Shen broke away from the monk's hand and shouted loudly: "Let's go, I will leave myself. Listen to you, even if I, Yang Shen, fall down, there are still thousands of Yang Shen, and sooner or later, crush your eunuchsmen to dust. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!" After saying that, he strode towards the prison door.

Although the monk was so angry that he was frightened by Yang Shen's righteous aura, he did not dare to push him anymore, but just let out a few cold words.

The scholars around were obviously inspired by Yang Shen, and they straightened their waists one by one and walked into the West Factory Prison with high spirits.

Clang, the heavy subway door was dark.

"Dadao, Yang Shen's case has been transferred to the Ministry of Justice for review. Shouldn't the prisoner be taken to the Ministry of Justice? This is the warrant of the Minister of Shangshu, Lord Zhang. Please hand over the prisoner to me to take it away." Fang Shixian, the head of the Ministry of Justice, held Zhang Cong's warrant in his hand and asked Dadao to ask for the person in Xichang, with his face obviously not very good-looking.

The big boss of the West Factory is Jia Fa. It is said that before being recruited by Bi Chun, he was a pig slayer. He was quite skilled in martial arts. He was big and thick, with a face full of flesh, and a pair of pork waists and eyes were full of fierceness.

Jia Fa obviously didn't take Fang Shixian seriously and said, "We found the case at the beginning, and the person was also caught by our West Factory. Why give it to your Ministry of Justice?"

Fang Shixian said in a deep voice: "The case was handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial. This was approved by the emperor. Do you dare to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"

Jia Fa's pig waist glared and said, "I'm going to take out the imperial edict there. Although Zhang Fujing is the Minister of Justice, he can't take care of me. His handwriting is not enough to be with me. Hehe, if our governor agrees, it would be another matter!"

Commander Fang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything to Jia Fa, so he could only leave a few words of scenes and left in disappointment.

"Bah, what's the matter?" Jia Fa spitted at the back of Director Fang, with a proud face.

By the way, Bi Chun and Zhang Cong were originally ally, but since Bi Chun asked Zhang Cong to help arrange for his nephew to enter the Imperial College last time and was rejected, Bi Chun and Zhang Cong had a big quarrel, and a rift had appeared between the two.

It is obvious that the head of the Western Factory, Jia Fa, obstructed the Ministry of Justice to refer someone to the criminal, was instructed by Bi Chun to retaliate against the last incident. From this point of view, Bi Chun is indeed petty and vengeful. If he is like this to his allies, he will not be able to say anything to his enemies.

"Listen, as long as the Ministry of Justice comes to recommend people, I will block you. Even if Zhang Fujing comes in person, he doesn't have to give face." Jia Fa ordered his men and left the prison, and then ran to Bi Chun to report.

After hearing Jia Fa's report, Bi Chun felt comfortable and sneered: "I sent a small sixth-rank chief to take Yang Shen away. Zhang Fujing took himself too seriously. This time we will teach you a lesson. Hey, our family is not easy to mess with."

Jia Fa quickly flattered Bi Chun even more, and then lowered his voice and said, "Duan Gong, my subordinates have received reliable news, and the King of Shu has also sent people to the capital."

Bi Chun's eyes flashed and he smiled sinisterly: "That's interesting. Send someone to keep an eye on him, maybe he can catch a big fish."

Jia Fa immediately rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I understand."

As mentioned earlier, Yang Shen's case was also implicated in Shu King Zhu Rangyu, because the reason why Yang Shen was able to leave the exiled place and return to Xindu, Sichuan to stay. It is said that Shu King Zhu Rangyu had worked hard.
