Naturally, this trial of King Yama in the Yang world is a masterpiece by Yan Qing. In fact, where is the underworld? Where is the black and white impermanence, the bull-headed horse face, Judge Cui, and King Yama? They are all pretended by artificial humans. Because Li
Chun Dai refused to confess, so Yan Qing came up with this plan.
Of course, Li Chun is not a fool, but a very experienced former spy chief. It is definitely not easy to fool such a person. It requires a careful plan and a flawless performance. Three days before the launch, Yan Qing
So people almost cut off Li Chun's diet, leaving him in a state of extreme hunger. Yan Qing is an old criminal, and he knows that when people are in a state of extreme hunger, they will have slow thinking, slow feeling, and even hallucinations. This is
It is easiest to be led around by the nose.
To be sure, Wu Wei also contributed a kind of medicinal powder made of datura flowers as the main ingredient. When Li Chun drank it in drinking water, it would cause him to have ecstatic hallucinations, which would weaken his observation and willpower.
Greatly weakened, but the tolerance to pain has been greatly increased.
With this two-pronged approach, Li Chun was able to lie on the haystack without wanting to move, feeling as if he had seen the Kingdom of Heaven.
At the second watch, Erhei, who was hiding in the dark, pulled the switch and opened the vent. The wind roared in the dungeon. The wind lanterns on the wall were actually removed.
One by one the lamps are extinguished,
This not only creates a scary atmosphere, but also prevents flaws in the subsequent performance... The pair of lanterns floating from a distance are actually hung on thin ropes. In the low light situation, it is difficult to tell that they are
There is a rope. The thin rope is connected to the pulley. Someone gently pulls the rope in the dark, and it looks like the lantern is floating over.
The black and white impermanence are not made by humans, but are made by master craftsmen who make dolls. The craftsmanship of famous artists is inherently fake, and the black and white impermanence all have pale faces, blood-red eyes, and tongues that are about a foot long.
They don't look like human beings, and no one dares to look at them carefully, so they are not afraid of being seen through.
Naturally, Black and White Wuchang is actually hanging on a rope. As for Black Wuchang's hand holding the mourning stick, it is manipulated by strings, just like a puppet show. As for the cell door that suddenly opened, it is just a small mechanism.
, there are countless experts in Jinyiwei, so it takes no effort to get this done.
However, the green-faced and fanged ghost soldier could only be played by a human being. The actor was Hei Yunzi, who was next to Xianyun. The Taoist priest was already burly and wore special height-increasing shoes, reaching a height of seven feet. In order to perform the ghostly appearance, Hei Yunzi
The Taoist priest made a huge sacrifice. His face was painted with indigo paint, his hair was dyed red, and he was equipped with a pair of wild boar tusks, making him look like a ghost.
But this was not enough, because he was responsible for taking Li Chun from the cell to the Palace of Hell. The two had to be in close contact, and the secret would be revealed if they were not careful. Yan Qing asked Hei Yunzi to put on the clothes he had just taken out of the ice cellar.
The leather armor was still hung with frost, and a smelly fish and a piece of smelly meat were hidden on his body... In this way, a terrifying ghost soldier with a bone-chilling coldness and a stench all over his body was born.
It's just that Hei Yunzi himself, who played the role of a ghost soldier, couldn't stand the stench, but Yan Qing had a way. He plugged Hei Yunzi's two nostrils with the tip of a writing brush, which not only prevented the odor, but also prevented the horrible nose hairs.
, making the image of the ghost soldier more realistic.
After that, Wu Yunzi lifted the weak Li Chun up. Wu Yunzi, who was similar in stature to Li Chun, immediately lay down in Li Chun's original position. When Li Chun adjusted his sight, he saw himself.
Still lying there, he completely accepted his fate of death...
Once he really believed that he was dead, Li Chun accepted his fate. So when he was taken to the Hall of Hell, when he saw those oil pots and the sea of fire, sawing people and pulling out their tongues, he was filled with fear and said to himself, "Just do what I have done."
You bad thing, I'm afraid you have to taste all the punishments. How can you dare to look carefully if you are so scared?
However, it was useless for him to look carefully, because it was pitch dark everywhere, and he could only see the outline of a ghost, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a person pretending to be someone. When they arrived at the hall, they still only lit a few candles that looked like mung beans, and the wind was miserable.
The ghosts are crying and the gods are howling. Doesn’t it look like the underworld? In fact, the main reason for this effect is the fear of being ganged up. Fortunately for the King of Hell and the judge, those bull-headed and horse-faced warriors are wearing hoods and walking on stilts.
Disguise, if the light is good, you can still see the clues.
No matter what, he successfully deceived Li Chun and obtained the confession he wanted. However, the confession seemed too violent, which actually made Emperor Leiting furious...
In the blink of an eye, the emperor and Duke Cheng Guo left, and only Wang Xian and Zhang Sala were left in the Prison Temple. Because of the emperor's thunderous fury before leaving, the atmosphere in the hall was still a little gloomy.
"How about it, from the second master's point of view," Wang Xian broke the silence and said, "Is this trial of the King of Hell pretty passable?"
"That's too much." Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Li Chun was convinced even if I didn't see it. He still didn't believe that he was in the world when he saw the emperor." After saying that, he finally revealed the worry in his heart and said: "But the effect seems to be too great.
It's better, the emperor is so angry that he is only afraid of hurting others and hurting himself."
His worries were justified, because the emperor had lost face this time, and he might not only hate Ji Gang, but also Wang Xian, the instigator.
"We'll talk about this later..." Wang Xian waved his hand. Obviously now was not the time to talk about this. He turned around and smiled at the worried subordinates: "Thank you for your hard work. The banquet has been set up in the Yamen. Go back and have a good meal and then
I’ll go home and have a good rest for two days, and I’ll get double pay this month.”
All the subordinates immediately cheered, and the sky fell like a big one. They were not worried about the emperor's reaction, and the only thing they should do was hurry up and have a big meal.
So everyone happily returned to Fusi, Beizhen. Naturally, Zhang Wei would not accompany him. Although it was late at night, he had plenty of gentle countryside to go to. Knowing that Wang Xian would not go with him, Zhang Wei did not provoke him anymore, but smiled.
Said: "In any case, this trial of Li Chun in the Palace of Hell has been a great success. Ji Gang will definitely not be able to eat it now and walk away. I am afraid that your reputation as Wang Zhongde will surpass that of Mian Hantie and become my great Ming Dynasty."
Bao Zheng of the dynasty was saved.
"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong." Wang Xian walked him to the door and said with a wry smile: "I'm most afraid of being famous. It's better if no one knows me."
"That's a good idea." Zhang Wei scolded with a smile, lowered his voice and comforted him: "As for whether the emperor will blame you, don't worry too much. Don't you still have brothers? I'll let Duke Cheng Guo keep an eye on it. It won't happen until then.
Just think of ways to remedy it."
"I'm more happy than anything else when the second master said this," Wang Xian smiled gratefully and said seriously: "This time it was me who caused trouble for the second master, but the second master didn't complain at all and still thought of me like this.
, Wang Xianming is deeply touched by this brotherly love."
"Haha, two brothers of the same generation, if you talk too much, you will get away with it." Zhang Hao laughed and patted Wang Xian on the shoulder, got in the car and drove away.
Do you think Zhang Wei doesn't blame Wang Xian in his heart? But a child of a noble family like him always has something special about him. He knows that he and Wang Xianshuan are already together, and they have already decided whether they should be together or not. At this time, he can't do anything about it.
It was useless to complain. There was a gap between him and Wang Xian, which made all his efforts in vain. So instead of saying anything to Wang Xian, he kept thinking about Wang Xian and made Wang Xian apologize to him. This
This is the correct way to reduce losses and preserve profits.
After seeing off Zhang Sala, Wang Xian looked back at Yan Qing who was waiting there, waved his hand and told the guard pushing the cart to go away. He personally pushed Yan Qing along the long corridor towards the back office.
It was the fourth watch at this time, and the sky was still dark with stars and moon, but a white lantern hung on each corridor pillar, illuminating the corridor very brightly.
The two walked half the distance in silence, and Yan Qing finally couldn't help but said: "Do you have someone to blame in your heart?"
"Am I such a naive person?" Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "Before I agreed to you, I knew that this would be the result... I just didn't expect that the emperor would arrive suddenly, so I was caught off guard."
"To be honest, it's a good thing that the Emperor is here today. If Li Chun's words were to reach the Emperor's ears through someone else's mouth, it would be detrimental to His Majesty," Yan Qing said.
"Then you're still cheating on me?" Wang Xian said with a bitter smile.
"No, I know the emperor will definitely come." Yan Qing said in surprise.
"Oh, how did you know that?" Wang Xian asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency took over from behind. I don't know how big this case was at that time." Yan Qing said calmly: "At that time, it had become the posture of the Jin Yiwei to resist the three law divisions and the criminal division. Although Ji Gang was powerful, he did not have the support of the emperor.
Not that capable."
"You mean, the emperor was actually tied into the chariot by Ji Gang?" Wang Xian asked softly.
"Tie yourself to a chariot? This metaphor is very vivid." Yan Qing nodded and said, "Although Li Chun only confessed today, with the emperor's intelligence, he had already realized this. But at that time, the emperor was already riding a tiger and was unable to get off. In order to protect his own
The authority can only ignore the truth and national laws and condemn Qi Dazhu to death. I, Liu Shangshu and Wang Zongxian were also demoted from official positions and sent to the army..." After a pause, he said with ridicule: "It seems that in this case, the emperor
Once again, he maintained his authority. But in fact, the only real winner was Ji Gang. As Li Chun said, he took advantage of the emperor's weakness to defeat his opponent... The Criminal Branch, the Criminal Ministry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all suffered heavy losses.
Although Hu Gai from Dali Temple took care of himself, his reputation plummeted and he could no longer raise his head in Shilin. The emperor's weaknesses were also exposed. Instead of achieving the purpose of maintaining authority, it gave careerists an opportunity to take advantage of.
"
"A careerist?" Wang Xian frowned slightly: "You mean those two princes..."
"That's right." Yan Qing nodded and said, "Their behavior last year was exactly the same as Ji Gang's. Could it be a coincidence?"
