Chapter 1450 Officials' Panic

"It's okay." Luo Xin sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Everyone, go back and rest too. It's really a toss up for the New Year's Eve."

"Yes!" Tao Xingyan said: "I really don't know what the court will be like when the years pass."

"Take a step and see a step!"

While everyone was talking, Luo Xin sent them out of the gate, then turned and walked back.Seeing Lu Yuan approaching head-on, he suddenly remembered that he promised Zhang Xun and others to do business. Now these people have sent the money, but Luo Xin forgot about it because of the blocking of the palace gate.Then he said to Lu Yuan:

"You come with me."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Yuan silently followed Luo Xin to the study, Luo Xin took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Lu Yuan sharpened it hastily, and then Luo Xin began to write.Putting down the pen, pointing to the paper and saying:
"Buy all the above materials tomorrow, and then find a few smart people at the house, and wait for me at night."

"Yes!"

"If I forget, remember to remind me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

in prison.

Someone said: "Why didn't Bi Yang come back?"

"Yeah, I remember he was the first to be interrogated and never came back."

"He won't be killed?"

"No way?"

"Then why didn't he come back?"

"Someone! Somebody!"

Someone started banging on the door and shouting.Then more people shouted, and even Hai Rui stood in front of the cell door, shouting loudly.

"Dangdang!"

The door of the passage opened, and a jailer stood at the door, shouting with a gloomy face:
"Why howling? Howling! Even if it's howling, it's not your turn to howl, it's going to wait until you are dead, and your family members howl!"

"Where is Bi Yang, was he killed by you?" Everyone shouted, there was anger in this shout, but it was also mixed with fear.

"laugh……"

The jailer sneered, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Of course he didn't die, but went home. He should be hugging my concubine for the New Year at this time."

There was silence in the prison, and then an explosion broke out.

"impossible!"

"you are lying!"

"What did you do to Bi Yang?"

"........."

The jailer was not in a hurry either, as a jailer in this big prison, he was usually lonely, so he just stood there at this moment, smiling and watching those officials crying and howling.After about a quarter of an hour, the voice gradually subsided. These people were all starving, and it was a great thing to be able to shout for a quarter of an hour. At this moment, they were all looking at the jailer wheezing and panting.Hai Rui's voice sounded at this moment:
"Why was Bi Yang able to go home? Don't tell me, he wrote a letter of confession."

"That's right! He just wrote a confession."

"impossible!"

"you're lying!"

"........."

The uproar sounded again, and the sarcasm in the jailer's eyes became even more serious, and the gate was closed with a bang.

The hustle and bustle in the prison gradually subsided, and Hai Rui slowly returned to the haystack, and sat on it a little weakly.

The next day.

Luo Xin selected another official's family member to wait outside the prison gate, and the official he selected was one of the three most hesitant.And he was the first one to interrogate him. After the official came in, he didn't wait for Luo Xin to ask questions, so he spoke first:

"Bi Yang really wrote a confession letter?"

Luo Xin nodded, and nodded to the eunuch, and the eunuch took out Bi Yang's confession letter, and put it in front of the official, who naturally recognized Bi Yang's handwriting at a glance, and looked at it silently. After finishing, the color of the face is constantly changing as if a dyeing workshop has been opened.

Luo Xin and the eunuch did not speak, but just looked at the official silently.After a while, the official sighed and said:

"I admit I was wrong!"

Luo Xin waved his hand neither happy nor sad, someone brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the official began to write.Two quarters of an hour later, he put down his pen and looked at Luo Xin.The jailer took the confession letter and put it in front of Luo Xin. Luo Xin read it carefully, and then said to the official:

"Go, your family is waiting for you outside."

As soon as the official heard this, his face immediately showed excitement, he saluted Luo Xin, and staggered outside.

"Go ahead!" Luo Xin said flatly, but this time he started with Hai Rui's diehards again.

After Hai Rui came in, his expression was very ugly.Because he didn't see the official back in the cell before, he knew in his heart that the official must have written a confession and went home for the New Year.He looked at Luo Xin with disappointment in his eyes.If there was anyone Hai Rui admired among the Ming officials, it was Luo Xin.But now my heart is full of disappointment towards Luo Xin.

You may not criticize His Majesty, but you cannot stand on the Emperor's side!

Are you not a courtier?
Luo Xin also looked at Hai Rui speechlessly, because he knew that no amount of persuasion would work. If Hai Rui could admit his mistake under his own persuasion, it would not be Hai Rui.

After a while, Hai Rui let out a soft breath and looked at Luo Dao: "What method did you use to force them to admit their mistakes?"

Luo Xin was so choked that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.Shaking his head dumbfoundedly, he said:
"There is no means, just to make them more rational."

"My lord is saying that I'm not rational?" Hai Rui frowned slightly.

"Yeah!" Luo Xin didn't bother to persuade Hai Rui, so he nodded directly.

Hai Rui was silent, and said for a while, "I know, but there are some things that must be done."

Luo Xin was silent for a while, then waved his hand, and the jailer took Hai Rui down.

Then, as Luo Xin expected, under Luo Xin's deliberate arrangement, no one wrote the confession.At dusk, Luo Xin and the eunuch left the prison. The eunuch went to see Emperor Jiajing, and Luo Xin returned to the mansion.

Back in the mansion, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Yuan standing there waiting.Seeing Luo Xin coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"Master, I have bought all the materials you asked for, and I have also selected ten clever people."

"Well, I'll go take a look."

"Yes!" Lu Yuan led Luo Dao in front: "Master, Master Zhang and the others are here too, in the study."

"Well, it's getting late, let the kitchen prepare the food and wine, let's go and look at the ingredients first."

"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I will arrange for the servants to boil the water, and the master can take a bath immediately after reading the materials."

"Ok!"

The two came to the warehouse. After Luo Xin checked the materials carefully, he said, "Tell those ten people to wait for me outside the study."

"Yes!"

Lu Yuan left in a hurry, while Luo Xin went to the bathroom and began to take a bath.As soon as she entered the bathtub, the door creaked, and Dai'er's pretty figure flashed in. She came behind Luo Xin, rubbed Luo Xin's back gently and said:
"Going to the dirty place of the prison every day, it's hard for the master."
