King of Song

Chapter 314
Heaven prison is a relatively general term.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the prison system was relatively complex, and there were many prisons in Bianjing City.Such as Tai Prison, Dali Temple Prison, Imperial City Prison, Dianqian Prison, Si Pai Bank Prison, etc.There is also a prison city, with walls on all sides, similar to a castle, so it is named, and garrison guards are sent to prevent criminals from escaping.

Tai Prison is under the jurisdiction of Yushitai. Because there were many cypress trees and crows on the mountains outside Yushitai in the Han Dynasty, people called Yushitai Wutai, and they also jokingly referred to the Yushitai as crow mouths.The most colorful stroke of this title was in the Northern Song Dynasty, when Su Shi was found faulty in his poetry writing, and as a result, he was imprisoned for a long time and almost died, which is known as the "Wutai Poetry Case" in history.

The rank of the Imperial City Division is higher, and it is naturally extraordinary to have a relationship with the royal family.The Imperial City Division was also a special organization in the Northern Song Dynasty. Apart from being responsible for guarding the safety of the Imperial City, it was also equivalent to the Song Dynasty's spy agency, responsible for spying on all aspects of information for the emperor.

It goes without saying that Dali Temple Prison belongs to Dali Temple.The prison in front of the hall belongs to the army, while the prison in Sipaian mainly detains prisoners related to water transportation crimes.As for the prison city, the level is relatively low, and it is mainly used to detain prisoners who have been sent to the army or exiled.There are many prisons, and the division of labor is very clear.

Zhang Chun was a small official in the prison, or just a small helper, responsible for cleaning and delivering meals.Yushitai's status in the Great Song Dynasty was good, so the treatment of small officials like Zhang Chun was not bad, and it was a pleasure to eat a meal.

Of course, to do things in a prison, you must pay attention to skills, be careful, and wink, otherwise you won't be able to do it for long.You know, where is Yushitai?It is a place for picketing and impeachment of hundreds of officials. Most of the people who enter the prison are officials who are punished for crimes. Even if they are punished for crimes, they are still officials.

Most of these were courteous scholar-officials, and they should be treated with more or less politeness. The Northern Song Dynasty was famous for treating scholar-officials generously.

The petty officials in the prison naturally cannot be as arrogant as in ordinary prisons, and they dare not insult casually, or even make things difficult for them.

After all, these are just officials to be punished, and we don't know what will happen in the end!Yushitai is not a place where you can come and go, and some officials were acquitted after a trial.Or temporarily release it, and it may resume again in a few years.

Just think about it, if you were abused in prison, wouldn't you be tortured to death after you get out?Even if it is a very low-ranking official, it is as easy to kill an ant if it wants to deal with a small official.Officials are a collective term, but the difference in one word, treatment and power is a world of difference.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the tradition and discipline of Yushitai.In the past, many officials at Yushitai were wronged. After they were released from prison, there were all kinds of complaints, which made it difficult for officials at Yushitai.

Until Sima Guang and Tang Jie served as Yushi Zhongcheng, strict requirements were imposed.The situation in Taiwan prison has improved, so Taiwan prison is relatively the most civilized prison in Bianjing.

Therefore, you must know how to be humble in Taiwan prison, and dare not offend anyone casually. Some officials will give some benefits after they are taken care of and released from prison. Why not do it?

Zhang Chunben was an honest and kind person, he didn't know how to cater to him, and he didn't have any extra benefits for many years.However, he was conscientious and kind to others, and once forged a good relationship with an official, he was able to save this relatively good job.
After noon every day, Zhang Chun would leave the prison with a smile, and go home contentedly to accompany his wife and children.But today, to be precise, it started more than half a month ago. Zhang Chun often stays on duty after noon.In his own words, earn more money and buy some new clothes for his wife and children during the New Year.

Everyone fully understands this idea, and Zhang Chun is an honest person, so no one cares.The other petty officials couldn't help ridiculing, how much money did they expect to make at night?Therefore, he generously "changed shifts" to Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun didn't realize it, no matter what other people said or how they laughed at this moment, he wouldn't care.Who has trouble with money?As long as you survive these few days and quit this job, you can get wealth that you can't earn in ten lifetimes.It's really lucky that such a pie in the sky will hit me!
Hmph, earn your own money, let you laugh at it!
Zhang Chun didn't know that there were dozens of people in Bianjing who were as lucky as him.

But they have a common occupation, that is, the prison officials, or just ordinary servants.Including Taiwan Prison, Dali Temple Prison, Imperial City Prison, Dianqian Prison, Si Pai Bank Prison, and even the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, etc., almost all the prisons in Bianjing.

They've all been promised a ton of money by You-Know-Who, just to make them do something that doesn't necessarily happen.

That is waiting for a person, who may or may not appear.As long as you meet him, take care of this person in prison and ensure his safety as much as possible, you will get a special reward.

Such a simple matter will not hurt the heavens, and the heavens know the world, and you can get a generous reward. Unless you are a fool, you will refuse, so why not do it?This is not surprising at all. Officials who have been convicted and entered Yushitai often ask the prison guards to take care of them, but very few people find themselves. This time it was really a surprise.

Zhang Chun was very lucky. When many people were waiting sadly, the person who was waiting appeared.According to the agreement, so he can get twice the reward.

It was Lin Zhao that Zhang Chun was waiting for!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When entering the city, Lin Zhao encountered the darkest and most humiliating moment in his life.

He survived, and he knew very well that someone wanted to put him to death in this way.The more this is the case, the more you need to stand up, let them down, and get revenge.

There is no time when the desire for revenge is stronger than at this moment. Since someone insists on such life and death, why should I be polite?

At the same time, Lin Zhao thought of his family, the beauties waiting for him, and the whole family in Jiang Ning, who were all waiting for him, and he had become the backbone of the family invisibly.

More importantly, I have been wronged, so is it necessary to suffer innocent injustice like this?This bad breath is absolutely intolerable.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Zhaoqiang endured it himself.

Even if the whole body is covered with messy vegetable leaves, sundries and other things, even if it is a street mouse that is denounced by thousands of people and condemned by the whole city, he still holds back.

Such a situation is really a huge test of a person's ability to bear.The past and present lives seem to be very beautiful, and they have never imagined that they will encounter such a humiliating situation.

Forget it, today's humiliation can be borne, what else can't be borne?

At this moment, Lin Zhao finally understood that what Mencius said is that the heaven will send great responsibilities to the people, and they must first suffer from their will!
Walking through the gate of the city, Lin Zhao's mind was already quite strong.To a certain extent, many things related to his temperament have also changed, which will definitely have a major impact on his future life.

After entering the city, he was sent to the prison under Yushitai.

This is not surprising, after all, he had the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple before, even if he had no chance to use it, Dali Temple must avoid suspicion.

It is estimated that the officials of Dali Temple hated Lin Zhao to death, and being implicated by this colleague who had never met before for no reason was a direct disaster.Coupled with the fact that Lin Zhao's case was very involved, no one dared to stand up and speak for Lin Zhao.

The remaining two of the three law divisions are the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai. In contrast, the Ministry of Criminal Justice mainly deals with criminal cases across the country.The main duty of Yushitai was to picket officials. Since Lin Zhao was accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason", and he was an official anyway, it was reasonable for him to be imprisoned.

In the cold winter weather, the crows make the atmosphere even more gloomy.

Lin Zhao couldn't help sneering repeatedly, comforting himself, maybe this is still a good thing!The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all proud to enter Jinyiwei's Zhao prison, but it was a great honor and political capital, and most of the people who came out of it were famous officials with a long history.

So what about in the Song Dynasty?After this time, will Wutai Injustice make himself famous?Will it gain political capital?
Of course, before that, how to save one's own life is the most important thing.Jin Yiwei's Zhao Prison has all kinds of torture methods, but what about the Yushitai in the Song Dynasty?In contrast, the atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty should be more civilized than that of the Ming Dynasty. Yushitai is an upright government office, not like a secret service agency like Jinyiwei.

What's more, Sima Guang and Tang Jie were in charge of Yushitai, so it shouldn't be so dark, right?Thinking of this, Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

The death of Tang Jie and Tang Xianggong seems to be related to him, so will people like Yushitai avenge their personal revenge?Inadvertently, he opened his eyes and looked out from the messy hair. The group of people in Yushitai looked very unfriendly!Such a situation seems to be very unfavorable to oneself!

After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly again!
Today's humiliation has been overcome, what else is there to be afraid of?

In the city of Bianjing, at the feet of the emperor, is it possible that they can kill people and silence them?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao was not afraid, and went directly to the prison, waiting for his fate to make a choice. Thinking about it, the time is not far away.

Lin Zhao didn't know that according to the original history, Su Shi was also imprisoned here many years later.Thus leaving behind the historically famous Wutai poetry case, and now that he stepped here first, another more famous Wutai case is destined to happen first.

Lin Zhao didn't notice that among the many officials at Yushitai, one person had an unusual look.

That was Zhang Chun. He was looking at this young man with disheveled hair at the moment, wondering if he was the one he was waiting for?Is he the one who needs to be protected tonight?Seeing Lin Zhao's unsightly honor, Zhang Chun felt a little stressed.But thinking of the generous reward, Zhang Chun immediately cheered up!
