Bai Bing and Lin Hu just escorted Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang to Funiu Mountain to return to Beijing today. At noon, the little princess hosted a family banquet to welcome the two of them. They were originally waiting for Lin Jue to come home for dinner, so they waited for a while.
Since they didn't return, the sisters had to drink some wine by themselves. After all, Lin Jue sometimes ate in the Yamen. He had just returned to the capital, and there must be a lot of things in the Yamen, so he didn't come back.
When the servant reported the news that Master Yang Xiu Yang was seeking an audience, several women were sitting in the pavilion of the back house, drinking tea and listening to Bai Bing's story about what happened in the mountains. Yang Xiu was a good friend of Lin Jue and an official of the same government. After hearing that Yang Xiuqian
Come, several people hurriedly came out of the front hall to receive him. After hearing Yang Xiu report the ins and outs of the matter, several women realized that something was wrong with the situation.
After a simple discussion, the little princess decided to take people to see what was going on. As a princess, it was easier for her to do things. Although her body was not convenient, she couldn't care less at the moment.
The little princess immediately summoned the men and ordered Lin Hu to summon a dozen or so guards from the mansion to get ready. Bai Bing even tucked his weapons around his waist, and even Lu Wu found a dagger and inserted it into the tube of his boot.
Yang Xiu was very frightened when he saw this battle. He suddenly felt that Lin Jue's explanation was correct. This report might cause trouble.
"Princess, I would like to advise you, don't act rashly. Otherwise, you may cause big trouble. The Yushitai Yamen is not an easy place to mess with." Yang Xiu finally said what was in his heart.
"Then we are easy to mess with? My husband is a prince and an official of the imperial court. He disappeared for no reason. Naturally, we have to find Fang Dunru to find out. If he is really detaining my husband, then we will not care about anything.
This is incredible." The young princess shouted coldly.
Yang Xiu was speechless, but she actually sighed in her heart. Mr. Lin was really lucky. His wife and concubines at home were so protective of him. What could a husband ask for in such a life? Thinking of himself, in his early years, he had a low official position and a hard life, and his wife abandoned him. How could he?
There is half a sense of friendship. The comparison between the two is simply sad.
Yang Xiu knew that he couldn't persuade him, but in fact he didn't need to. If he didn't have the capital and status, he would have to be tough, otherwise how could he save Lin Jue? Lin Jue was kind to him and was his best friend.
Once he fought hard not to get an official position, but he still had to do something for Lin Jue even after being sentenced to prison.
A group of people rushed to the Yushitai Yamen. After asking Lao Wu and others who were watching in front of the door, they learned that no one came in or out of the Yamen, and Mr. Lin and Fang Dunru were nowhere to be seen.
The little princess was not a reckless person, so she decided to be courteous before fighting. First, as the princess, she asked to see Fang Dunru and asked him to let her husband come out to see him. Lin Hu was ordered to go forward and hand over a name card to ask for an audience. Unexpectedly, the reply he received soon was:
: It is inconvenient for Mr. Fang Zhongcheng to meet, Mr. Lin has already left the Yamen.
This was obviously a lie, because Lao Wu of the Punishment Department and his detectives were watching at the door. There was only one front door to the Yushitai, and it was impossible for Lin Jue to leave. This kind of lie also further confirmed that Lin Jue was likely to encounter something bad.
Otherwise, why would Fang Dunru cover it up like this?
If you can't reason, you can only be tough. Others may not dare to act rashly because of the reputation of Yushitai Yamen and the majesty of the court's laws. But how can the little princess, Bai Bing and others care about anything else at this moment? The little princess immediately ordered a rush
Enter the Yamen.
Bai Bing had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. After getting permission, he was the first to rush up to the steps of the courtyard. There were seven or eight yamen guards guarding the door. They did not expect that the other party actually dared to break into the yamen. When Bai Bing rushed
He came forward and shouted to stop.
Without saying a word, Bai Bing showed his green flute and knocked down the three of them in the blink of an eye. The rest of the palace guards, Lin Hu and others swarmed in, punching and kicking them. In an instant, seven or eight gatekeepers were knocked to the ground, and the group of people rushed into the courtyard.
Go straight to the entrance of the Zhongtang Yamen.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. There was also a lot of manpower in the Yushitai Yamen. There were no less than a hundred people, including jailers who guarded the prison, and Yamen guards. All of a sudden, gongs sounded as a warning, and whistles sounded.
As soon as there was a sound, people from all over the place swarmed in, and sixty or seventy people came to support and blocked the entrance of the main office of the central hall. The two sides were at war with each other, and a firefight was about to break out.
"You are so brave. Who are you? You dare to break into and attack Yushitai Yamen in broad daylight. Are you going to die? Is this a rebellion?" an official shouted angrily while standing on the steps.
The little princess frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The official shouted: "I am the Yushitai to help Tang Que in trouble. If you don't put down your weapon immediately, I will be rude to you."
The little princess said coldly: "What's going on? You're not qualified to talk to me yet. I'll ask you, Fang Zhongcheng, to come out and see me."
Tang Que pointed at the little princess and said angrily: "You woman, you have such a loud tone, you are really rude. You dare to be so arrogant in front of me. As a woman, you are exposed in broad daylight, where is the decency of women? Do you still have a tutor?"
?”
"You are so brave. This is the current little princess of Prince Liang's palace. You dare to speak rudely to the princess. This is a crime. You should be punished." A guard shouted loudly.
"The princess of Prince Liang's Mansion?" Tang Que was shocked, and suddenly he understood the identities of these people. "Even if the princess arrived, she should not have forced her way into the Yushitai Yamen and injured my Yamen servant. Could the princess just do that?
Don’t you need to follow the rules?”
Tang Que was a member of the Yushitai and was one of the official officials. This type of people regarded impeaching others as their ability and always thought they had great power. Especially now that Fang Dunru was a celebrity in the court, and his subordinate Yushi Yan
The officials all walked with their heads held high, so they immediately retorted.
The little princess winked, Bai Bing's figure flashed, everyone's eyes were dazzled, Bai Bing had arrived in front of Tang Que, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Que's collar. This Tang Que was also too big, and felt that there were many people on his side, so
Just then, he walked up to the government officials and spoke. Bai Bing grabbed him without any effort and pulled him hard. Tang Que stumbled forward and fell down in front of the little princess.
When he raised his head, Tang's mouth was bleeding and he spit out his two front teeth. Just now, two of his teeth were knocked out on the bluestone on the ground. This time, he really deserved it. Tang was really missing. But what was missing was just the teeth.
"So bold, are you...rebelling?" Tang Que shouted with his mouth open.
"If you offend this princess, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Palm." The young princess shouted coldly.
A guard jumped forward, grabbed Tang Que's hair, slapped him forward and backward, and slapped Tang Que several times until blood spurted from his mouth.
The government officials shouted loudly and began to approach. More than ten palace guards came forward with swords. Yang Xiuye, holding a wooden stick, Lao Wu and several other detectives came forward. A melee was about to begin.
At this time, a deep shout came from the Zhongtang Yamen.
"stop!"
Fang Dunru appeared on the steps in front of the Yamen with a livid face and hands behind his back. His face was as dark as water, and he was obviously very angry. However, he still maintained appropriate restraint and tried his best to maintain his demeanor. In fact, he had been sitting in the central hall, but he was not
I just want to show up.
In fact, from the time Yang Xiu came to inquire about news, Fang Dunru knew that they were here to inquire about Lin Jue. But Fang Dunru wanted to keep Lin Jue in the Yamen, even if it was for an extra hour and a half, so
He had been perfunctory and evasive. He originally thought that no one would dare to break into Yushitai Yamen, so they had no choice but to reject them. As long as Lin Jue stayed in the Yamen for a while, he would most likely choose to cooperate with him.
What Fang Dunru did today was actually what he had planned. Taking Lin Jue into custody was by no means an impulsive move. Since the negotiation with Lin Jue broke down that day, Fang Dunru decided to take strong measures against Lin Jue. But
Although Lin Jue was a witness to Guo Bing's murder case, there is still a lack of evidence to support his claim that he was an accessory. If he does not cooperate, he will not gain anything even if he goes to court for questioning. But Fang Dunru needs Lin Jue's cooperation.
, he urgently needed to develop the entire case in the direction he wanted, so he chose to detain Lin Jue in the prison cell.
This kind of detention is naturally temporary, but Fang Dunru received guarantees from some people. They said that as long as the inmates enter the prison cell, they will choose to cooperate within a few hours. Because there are rules in the prison cell for them to cooperate.
The reason. Fang Dunru didn't want to know what kind of methods they would use. In fact, Fang Dunru did know about some secret things in the prison, and he also knew that some things were against the rules. But Fang Dunru was conducting an investigation on the Yushitai.
While carrying out drastic measures, he consciously did not delve into the matter. Because in Fang Dunru's mind, these criminals should have been punished. When they were officials, they corrupted and violated the law and preyed on the people. This was the retribution they deserved. The imperial court
It was stipulated that officials should not use torture. Fang Dunru was very dissatisfied with this rule. He wanted to use the black rules in the prison to make these prisoners suffer.
Fang Dunru has never been the kind of person who is pedantic and rigid in a certain frame. He is actually very good at adjusting his direction and principles of conduct. As long as it is conducive to the core things he pursues and achieves the goals he wants to achieve, he is really good at adjusting his direction and principles of conduct.
He was willing to try any method, including sending Lin Jue to prison to force him to cooperate.
The warden and the cell leader told Fang Dunru that no one could survive the night without cooperating. He would only be able to make steel if he was spared, but he would become a thorn in the jail. Fang Dunru didn't want to know what dirty methods were used, he just wanted to know.
As a result, after telling him not to hurt Lin Jue, he took Lin Jue into custody without hesitation and sent him to prison. He delayed the time, hoping to wait until nightfall. Because there was no delay, Lin Jue was very likely to choose to cooperate.
.That’s why he was so perfunctory and pushy, just to keep Lin Jue here.
But who would have thought that his Yushitai Yamen was so prestigious that others would not even dare to take a look at it when they walked in the door. This Wutai was like a terrifying place like the Palace of Hell, and these wives and concubines of the Lin family actually rushed in with people.
. He really rushed in. Not only did he rush in, but he also showed a desperate posture. Tang Que was beaten so hard that he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf. A firefight was about to begin. He had to step in and take control of the situation.
