Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 112
"Hmph, don't you have anything to say? I've seen people like you a lot. Since you have nothing to say, let's make a bet." After Tang Jin finished speaking, he snorted coldly and looked at Li Ce disdainfully. , he likes to watch the moment when the prisoner is sentenced, the panic and helplessness of the prisoner gives him an inexplicable pleasure.

A yamen servant came forward with a written confession.When Li Ce saw it, it read "...when the Liao people invaded, they coerced the superiors, forcibly opened the city gates, and almost wanted to break the city, and the intention of collaborating with the enemy is clearly revealed..." The hat he put on himself turned out to be a defection , Conspiring to rebel, what the hell!This is a serious crime. This is to punish the Nine Clans. Damn, I am a small commander, you say I rebelled?What nonsense!

Di Qing also frowned after seeing it, and he secretly shook his head at Li Ce, signaling that he could not draw a bet.

Li Ce's coercion of He Ruinian is not just about He Ruinian, but no one can tolerate it. After all, it is an extremely embarrassing thing to be held by a subordinate with a knife on the neck in front of so many people. In other words, he also broke the record, so he strictly blocked the news on this matter, and strictly prohibited anyone from revealing it.

Especially for a border official like Jinglueshi, he is like the Tu Emperor on Hebei West Road, but the Tu Emperor was actually humiliated by a small soldier. Think about it, is there anything more embarrassing than this?No.So he convicted Li Ce of inciting the soldiers to mutiny, intending to rebel, and the crime should be punished by the nine clans!

In fact, He Ruinian has been restraining all the time. With his character of vengeance, how can he tolerate Li Ce until now? The reason for this is because he knows that Chen Yaozuo is behind Li Ce, and the Chen family plays a very important role in the court. The old man will definitely settle accounts with himself in the future, so Li Ce must admit it and sign it.In this way, when the old man Chen asked about it, he could not do it because of the public case. Besides, he was accused of treason, even if Chen Yaozuo wanted to take care of it, he had to think about it first.

Of course Li Ce knew that he couldn't make a bet. If he made a bet, he would be close to death and alive, and no one could save him.I don't know if Da Song has a rule that he can appeal against dissatisfaction. Whether he has it or not, it's better to make trouble with him than to wait for death.

"I plead not guilty, you are slandering me, I want to appeal!" Li Ce yelled at Tang Jin.

Tang Jin was furious, slapped the gavel and said: "Don't make trouble for no reason, hurry up and plead guilty."

At the thought of beheading, the feeling of the execution ground last time seemed to be vivid in his memory, Li Ce couldn't help being agitated, and he just refused to draw a behead.

He Ruinian winked, and Tang Jin understood, he showed a cruel smile and scolded: "The prisoner does not cooperate with the trial, come here, and serve him with great torture." As long as he draws the charge, it doesn't matter whether he is voluntary or not.

"You!" When the three of them saw Tang Jin and He Ruinian's arrogant appearance, they were all suffocated. Li Ce had even made up his mind. , is better than being beheaded.

The three of them made eye contact, and Di Qing and Guan Zhen also nodded. Just as they were about to make a move, they saw a soldier running in quickly, and whispered something in He Ruinian's ear.

When He Ruinian heard this, his face changed instantly, and he even showed a look of annoyance, his old face became extremely ugly.He cursed something in a low voice, and walked out hastily as soon as he slapped the table, without even saying hello.

It's just that when he got up, he heard a sharp voice saying: "Master He is really busy with official duties, the miscellaneous family has been waiting for you for two hours!" Then he saw a person walking in.

He Ruinian blushed, and rushed forward to meet him and said anxiously: "Eunuch Yan, don't blame me, I also came here in a hurry this morning when I heard that something happened to the Prison Division. letter." After speaking, he was a little embarrassed and smiled apologetically.

Li Ce was taken aback, who else is He Ruinian afraid of?He glanced around and saw that the visitor was about fifty or so, with a thin figure and a sallow complexion, but he was extremely energetic, with a pair of bright eyes and restrained eyes, and he had an air of calm and majestic.

He Ruinian called him Eunuch Yan, and looking at the clothes he was wearing, it was somewhat similar to that of He Jianjun, but he was dressed in dark red silk and satin, which seemed to be of a higher grade than He Jianjun.

The person who came was named Yan Wenying, a former imperial eunuch from the Palace of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into the Southern Division and the Northern Division. The eunuchs in the Northern Division mainly served the emperor and the harem, so their status was higher than that of the Southern Division. The two priests have the final say, and Yan Wenying is the priest of Xitou.No wonder He Ruinian respected him so much, this man was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he could be called the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He came here this time to proclaim the decree, in fact, he had already arrived at the post station last night, because it was too late, he did not go to Jinglue Mansion, but sent someone to deliver the letter.Unexpectedly, he waited for two hours in the Jinglue Mansion this morning, but he didn't wait for He Ruinian. He asked his servants and servants, but he couldn't find out why he came. Finally, he heard that it seemed that the prison secretary had come. Yan Wenying was angry at He Ruinian's slow treatment. Decided to meet him in person.

With a bitter face, He Ruinian secretly looked at Eunuch Yan, only to see him with his head raised, his face sullen, with a look of lingering anger.He Ruinian secretly gestured to Xu Shan, Xu Shan understood and left in a hurry.

The generals far away at the border are most afraid of the envoys from Beijing. These envoys not only come to convey the will, but also observe the situation at the border, so that they can report to the emperor when they return.Therefore, once the envoy arrives somewhere, the local top officials will try their best to please him, not only to entertain him with good wine and food, but also to offer a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, so that the envoy can say something nice for him when he returns.

Yan Wenying has been doing this job for more than 20 years. Since he came to the locality, the magistrates have always provided for him like an ancestor. Others have always waited for him, and he has never waited for others.Furthermore, he belongs to the Empress Dowager, and He Ruinian belongs to the Prime Minister Ding Wei. The Empress Dowager Liu has been dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's domineering in recent years, and the two factions have been fighting secretly. Hit him with it.

He Ruinian also understands this truth, not to mention himself, even the Prime Minister Ding Wei, if he sees Yan Wenying, he will sell Yan Wenying more or less, so he must not offend him. Empress Dowager Liu sued herself.

When He Ruinian came together like this, Tang Jin and the others naturally didn't dare to sit still, especially He Jianjun, who was a little trembling when he saw Yan Wenying, as if he was extremely afraid of him.Everyone just stood there, looking at He Ruinian, waiting for his instructions.

Seeing this embarrassing situation, He Ruinian gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "Elder-in-law, please sit down for a moment. After I finish this official business, I will apologize to Eunuch. In addition, today I got a pair of Wu Daozi's calligraphy and painting. In the future, I would like to ask my father-in-law to appreciate it." He Ruinai whispered,

Eunuch Yan had always kept a straight face, but after hearing Wu Daozi's calligraphy and painting, his face changed slightly, and he snorted noncommittally. He Ruinian was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to guide him to sit down.

Everyone sat down again, but Li Ce started thinking. It seemed that He Ruinian and this Eunuch Yan didn't get along very well. If he could drive the two apart, He Rui Nian was a senior year, and he might temporarily put it aside.

He Ruinian glanced at Li Ce, and was even more annoyed at him. It was this kid who made him lose his money. If it wasn't for him, how could he forget about it.That pair of Wu Daozi's calligraphy and painting is hard to find!I don't like it enough, but I want to give it to others, what an annoyance!
"Bold prisoner, why don't you draw a charge?!" Tang Jin slapped the gavel after receiving He Ruinian's instructions, and asked loudly again.

Li Ce was startled by him, and cursed inwardly: Your uncle, you scared me to death.

"My lord, this confession is the crime of treason for a lowly official! Dare I ask you, have there been any small commanders in the past dynasties who have rebelled? If it were you, facing an army of tens of thousands, you would lead 500 people to rebel. Is it? Let me tell you again that if I want to rebel, why did I suddenly stop and let someone go." Li Ce glanced at He Ruinian and sneered, before retorting.

He Ruinian blushed when he heard him mention his own scandal, stood up and pointed at Li Ce, and said angrily: "Little bastard, don't think that I dare not do anything to you. You have to paint if you don't paint today. I have to draw! Come here, give me a big torture!" He Ruinian finally lost his patience, and he can't lose face in front of Eunuch Yan today, and deal with this kid first.

Eunuch Yan seemed to be used to such scenes, picked up the teacup on the table, shook his head lightly, and blew on the hot air.

Li Ce shouted: "He Ruinian, if you tortured me today, my master will definitely reverse the case for me when he finds out about it. I'm afraid even the prime minister won't be able to protect you!" There is no way to procrastinate for a while, so I can only bring out Chen Yaozuo to scare him.

Seeing that he finally showed fear, He Ruinian felt relieved, "Hmph, even if that old man Chen Yaozuo finds out in the future, so what, you can still die and come back to life, haha..." He couldn't help but sneer.

Tang Jin was the presiding judge, and he was a little guilty of looking at He Ruinian. Li Ce moved out of Chen Yaozuo. After Chen Yaozuo pursued it, he, the presiding judge, was the first to bear the brunt.

"What are you doing in a daze?! Put on the stick!" Standing aside, Xu Shan cursed at a group of yamen servants. He was humiliated by Li Ce many times, and today he finally had a chance to take revenge.

"Wait!" Eunuch Yan who was sitting on the side spoke suddenly, his expression changed, he put down his teacup, walked up to Li Ce with a cold face, looked him over carefully, and said suspiciously: "You are Li Ce? "

Li Ce was taken aback, and nodded hesitantly, wondering what kind of medicine the old eunuch was selling in the gourd.

"This person cannot be killed!" After receiving Li Ce's reply, Eunuch Yan suddenly turned around and said briefly, with an indescribable majesty in his voice.

"Eunuch Yan, you don't know something. This man is so bold and unforgivable!" He Ruinian hurried forward and said in a hurry, is it possible that this old guy wants to protect this kid?

"What did you do, let's hear it." Eunuch Yan waved his old hand and asked in front of Li Ce.

Li Ce was overjoyed, it's true that heaven never dies for me, there was a nobleman helping him at the critical moment, at this moment he looked at that Eunuch Yan, and felt indescribably kind.

"Eunuch Yan, why are you..." He Ruinian didn't understand why this old man suddenly asked this because he was not related to Li Ce.

Eunuch Yan looked directly at He Ruinian, and when he told what had happened, he didn't intend to answer He Ruinian's questions.

He Ruinian had no choice but to say everything.
