Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2234 Poison
Zhang Mingpu was in a state of confusion.

Pei Xingjian was able to say these words, obviously he had guessed some truths behind this matter, although there was no evidence, but it was because of his own carelessness, which led to Wang Jingxun's flaws...

However, he remained firm: "The navy is lawless, who knows whether Wang Jingxun abused torture? Under the three trees, beating into tricks, is this your plan?"

Pei Xingjian didn't bother to talk to him: "Whatever you say, Wang Jingxun must not be let go."

Zhang Mingpu held back his anger and said: "The official wants to see Wang Jingxun to see if he has been tortured and beaten into a trick!"

Pei Xingjian wanted to refuse, but what are you, relying on the name of Wuwei Zhang and the eldest grandson's family, to show off in front of Lao Tzu?
But seeing Zhang Mingpu's urgency, his heart moved...

"Regardless of the Navy or Huating Town, everyone obeys the law. How can they do such abusive torture? Zhang Biejia wants to go and see Wang Jingxun, and he will go. We are open and aboveboard, and we will never Frame any good man!"

"Hmph! I hope you can do what you say!"

Pei Xingjian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he called a trusted clerk and said, "Take Zhang Biejia to visit Wang Jingxun in the prison!"

"Here!"

Zhang Mingpu felt relieved, cupped his hands at Pei Xingjian, turned around and left with the scribe.

Watching Zhang Mingpu walk out of the room, Pei Xingjian called another clerk, and said, "Go and inform those people in the prison, no matter what Zhang Mingpu does, just watch from the sidelines, there is no need to stop them."

"Here!"

The scribe left in a hurry, and Pei Xingjian leaned back in his chair, thinking about it, weighing every possibility.

It would be best if Zhang Mingpu was more ruthless...

*****
The jail in Huating Town is not far behind the town office.

A row of red brick and concrete houses are simple and sturdy. Even if it is raining heavily outside, the prison does not feel much damp.

Zhang Mingpu entered the prison under the leadership of officials from Huating Town. Looking around, he saw that even the floor was paved with red bricks, and all the cells along the way were clean and fresh, without the gloomy and rotten atmosphere of other yamen cells. Taste, the cell in Huating Town is probably the most comfortable in the world...

A long passage, the innermost one where Wang Jingxun was imprisoned.

Zhang Mingpu squatted on the cell door and took a look in. He was shocked when he saw a figure lying on a pile of hay in the corner with blood dripping from his body.

Looking back at the official, he said angrily: "How dare you abuse torture, do you want to torture yourself?"

The official curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Biejia Zhang, you are making a fuss over a molehill, aren't you? In the prison all over the world, the prisoner has to be punished first after entering? Especially some vicious criminals, if they don't go to prison, it's hard for you Counting on his own conscience to discover and confess the evil things he has done?"

Zhang Mingpu choked for a moment, still furious: "But this Wang Jingxun is only suspected, and he has not been convicted, how can he use punishment?"

The official was a little impatient, and said casually: "Since there is a suspicion, then it will naturally have to be interrogated. Since it is an interrogation, then it will naturally be punished... Zhang Biejia, can you come in to visit? The official is busy, if you If you don't plan to go in, then let's go back..."

"Open the door!"

Zhang Mingpu let out angrily.

This Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom. Although the yamen is still appointed by the imperial court, almost all the officials of the Town Office hold positions in the Shibo Department. But they don't belong to each other, and they can't control others at all...

The cell door opened, Zhang Mingpu raised his foot and stepped in, unexpectedly found that these officials and jailers were all standing outside the door, and had no intention of following him in for surveillance.

Does this mean that he dare not play tricks in the cell?

I was suddenly happy...

In the prison cell, Zhang Mingpu stepped forward quickly, walked to the corner of the corner next to the lying man, and called out in a low voice, "Respect?"

The man was as motionless as a dead man, only the extremely low moaning sound showed that he was still alive. Hearing Zhang Mingpu's call, his whole body was shocked, and he tried his best to turn over, revealing that face and a messy scene. predecessor...

Zhang Mingpu took a deep breath.

motherfucker!

How ruthless was this?The whole person almost has no human form...

Seeing Zhang Mingpu, Wang Jingxun was stunned for a moment, then grinned, and cried out with an "oh", but this touched the wound on his body, and his face twitched immediately.

"Zhang Biejia, take me out quickly..."

Faced with Wang Jingxun's pleading, Zhang Mingpu couldn't care less, stepped forward, leaned down and asked eagerly, "Have you confessed?"

Wang Jingxun was stubborn, shook his head, and endured the severe pain all over his body: "They will be punished as soon as they come up, but I persisted and never said a word..."

Zhang Mingpu let out a long breath, and instantly put his heart back into his stomach.

As long as he has never confessed, then everyone will have nothing to do with him in Suzhou!

He glanced at the cell door behind him, saw that everyone was standing outside, just staring at this side, but no one stepped forward to interfere, so he took out a wax pill from his arms, pretended to lean over to check Wang Jingxun's injury, and stuffed the wax pill In Wang Jingxun's hand, he said in a low voice, "Even though you have never confessed before, is the navy's method easy to deal with? You can either pry your chest open, or kill you, there is no other way..."

Wang Jingxun was taken aback for a moment, then struggled to speak, but was covered by Zhang Mingpu.

Zhang Mingpu stared into his eyes and said quickly: "If you confess, you will die; if you don't confess, the navy will never let you go, so now you have no reason to survive. You still have parents and children, if you If you can kill yourself, no matter the Wang family or the official, you can treat your parents well, die for your parents, and raise your children. But if you confess, you can imagine their fate..."

Wang Jingxun was stunned for a long time, his straight neck slowly drooped, and the light in his eyes dissipated.

He understood what Zhang Mingpu meant. Although he was forcing himself to die, what he said was true...

Unless I confess, it is impossible to get out of here alive; and once I confess, how can the family let me go?Not only will he not let himself go, but his parents, wife and children will all be implicated and die without a whole body, so as to deter others.

The hand holding the wax pill was tightened, he is also a ruthless person, he understood the current situation, and indeed he couldn't stand the torture of the navy, he gritted his teeth and stuffed the wax pill into his mouth.

Zhang Mingpu let out a long breath.

No worries anymore...

However, seeing Wang Jingxun's pale face and the dissipated light in his eyes, it is inevitable to feel sad.

In the final analysis, everyone is just a flag, and the whole matter is beyond their control. Whether it is right or wrong, where is the choice?

It was only his own carelessness, if he had sent Wang Jingxun away in advance, or even silenced him early, there would have been no openings.

Zhang Mingpu said softly: "Don't worry, I keep what I say, I will raise your children on my behalf, treat them as if they were my own, go with peace of mind."

Wang Jingxun said nothing.

Zhang Mingpu straightened up, stared at Wang Jingxun for a while, then turned and walked out of the cell.

Standing outside the prison door, Zhang Mingpu yelled angrily: "If you abuse torture, do you still have the king's law in your eyes? If this person cannot withstand the torture and dies, who will bear the responsibility? I will never let this matter go away , Even if you go to His Majesty to file an imperial complaint, you must pursue it to the end!"

All the officials of Huating Town at the gate didn't bother to talk to him, let him talk nonsense, and then sent him away. Seeing that Wang Jingxun was fine, they felt relieved.

Logically speaking, it is extremely stupid to allow Zhang Mingpu to visit Wang Jingxun directly and let him talk in private.Not to mention that there is a high possibility of colluding confessions, if Zhang Mingpu instructs Wang Jingxun to kill himself, wouldn't it be a big mistake?

However, Pei Xingjian specifically told him to come close to visit him and not to watch him, and everyone had no choice but to pray to God to worship the Buddha, Wang Jingxun, so that no accident would happen...

Walking out of the cell, Zhang Mingpu raised his eyes to look at the dark sky, the torrential rain continued for a moment.

It seems that this summer, Jiangnan will encounter a flood...

The mood is relaxed and relieved.

As long as Wang Jingxun dies, all clues will be broken, and it can be used to attack Huating Town and the navy to abuse torture and harm goodness.

Didn't you, Pei Xingjian, insist that you came from a famous family and didn't put me in your eyes, so you can even humiliate me?

Wait for me, it will be better for you!

At that time, the first charge of the impeachment memorial will be that you, Pei Xingjian, have neglected your duties and caused Zhen Tianlei to be bombed, and you have colluded with the navy and harmed goodness.
As for myself... Wang Jingxun was fine when I left, and then Wang Jingxun died, so what does it have to do with me?

At that point, it's a dead end.

As long as he thought of his promise that he would be transferred to Chang'an to join the Sixth Ministry as a servant after completing this task, Zhang Mingpu's heart became hot.Ever since his father left Chang'an for Muzhou, the Wuwei Zhang family has stayed away from the center. Although this can protect them from the political turmoil, it no longer has the power to enter the center.

But now, Wuwei Zhang is about to return to Chang'an in his own hands and return to the top!

In the heavy rain, Zhang Mingpu was in a bright mood.

He held up the umbrella comfortably, walked into the rain curtain, and let the rain splash on his trousers and wet his shoes, only to feel cool and comfortable.
