Don't be clouded

Perhaps it was because of hearing that the former censor Zhongcheng was being dragged through the street, and more and more people gathered around him.

The young general who rode in front was the one with a gloomy expression, as if he was distracted.And the one who fell at the end of the team should be the rumored Duan Zhongcheng. Although he was not tied to anything, he had to follow the horses and move forward step by step.

The big man who used to be extravagant and greedy is now exposed to the eyes of everyone, talked about, hated, insulted, and has no power to fight back.He didn't even dare to turn his head, he could only look straight ahead, for fear of meeting people's gaze.

Ji Bieyun heard the people on the side of the road talking in low voices, and a childish voice came to his ears: "Mother, don't you have to take a wooden cart to catch the bad guys? Why doesn't the bad guy have one?"

He followed the voice and saw that it was a six or seven-year-old girl who timidly poked her head out from behind her mother and looked at Duan Wenfu at the end of the line.

The mother noticed Ji Bieyun's gaze, and was so frightened that she pulled the child behind her, and stood in front of her with a face of panic.

Ji Bieyun was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he had frightened the other party, and he passed by before he could figure out the reason.

Will he scare the people like Duan Wenfu?

Half a year ago, he was still a ragged refugee, trekking all the way from Shugu City in the north to Lingzhou in the south.Most of the people I met on the road would deliberately avoid him, but not out of fear.But in a short period of time, he actually sat on the horse, like a high-ranking person in power swaggering into the market, being feared and avoided by others.

Ji Bieyun's eyes darkened.

Wrapped forward by hatred, no matter how clear the original intention is, it will be stained and become obscure.But he had no way out, he could only move forward, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

Looking back, looking at Duan Wenfu who had no shackles on his body, he suddenly felt a little dazzling, walked to Dai Fengmao and whispered: "Find a horse and bring him back as soon as possible."

Dai Xiaowei immediately questioned: "Just let him go so easily?"

of course not.

Ji Bieyun lowered his eyes and replied: "No, one day I will let him wear shackles, put him in a prison van, and parade him through the streets."

Rather than what it is like now, the so-called revenge and upholding justice are all a sham.

Duan Wenfu was taken back to Youxiaowei Camp.

Ever since Ji Bieyun was promoted, the camp has allocated a space for him, far away from Shi Rui's tent and the main building of the Central Army, on the northwest corner.Surrounded by three small two-storey buildings, they had been abandoned for a long time, and after being cleaned up, they were finally able to accommodate people, so that they would not look like they were in disrepair.

Duan Wenfu was arranged by him in a room without sunlight on the east side, and was strictly guarded by others.Dai Fengmao found many instruments of torture one after another and sent them in. It only took half a day to arrange the interior into a complete torture room.

Ji Bieyun went in and had a look, and it was even worse than the prison in Dali Temple.The windows were all boarded up, so that no light could penetrate, and the wooden frames and iron chains that bound people were also thick and solid.Before the interrogation started, Duan Wenfu himself was tied to it, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

He has always disliked the atmosphere of this torture room, and he found it difficult to breathe as soon as he walked in, so he retreated after only one glance.

The reason may be that he knew that his father had also been tortured in this way, and his father was completely innocent.Therefore, even if Duan Wenfu was not guilty of death, he would not be able to pull himself out of his memory, so he could only hide away.

He also did not participate in the afternoon interrogation.

Dai Fengmao led people to use both soft and hard methods, and was subjected to various punishments, but he was unable to pry a complete sentence from Duan Wenfu's mouth, let alone make this person admit to participating in the Yushitai case.

The last time when he went to the Duan Mansion for the Hongmen Banquet, Ji Bieyun knew that Duan Wenfu would not reveal any truth passively.Although this man has no conscience, he has a whole body of self-respect and conceit.There are very few people who became Yushi Zhongcheng in their early twenties. If there is nothing wrong with Yushitai this time, this person can be praised in the history books as young and promising.Falling off the rotten pile of gold and jade and falling into the mud pit, Duan Wenfu would rather die than bow his head.

Ji Bieyun angered Duan Wenfu at the dinner party, and it was not easy to learn some news about the Liu family from the other party, and I am afraid it will be difficult to dig out other news in the future.

More truth has to be found in Lingzhou.

But he had to hold Duan Wenfu in his hands.

In order to prevent this person from making a comeback, when the Liu family overturns the case in the future, he needs Duan Wenfu to bear the responsibility as the murderer, and asks Duan Wenfu to take the charge of escape this time again, and punish both crimes.

Dai Fengmao was too excited today, even if he didn't find out anything after the interrogation, he ran to him to claim credit.

"Boss, did I arrange it well? It's only been half a day. Don't be discouraged. I still have many ways to make Duan Wenfu's life worse than death."

Ji Bieyun felt that it was necessary to remind him, stopped cleaning the room, and said seriously: "Do you want to pry evidence from him, or do you just want to enjoy the pleasure of torturing others?"

Dai Fengmao suddenly calmed down, but remained abnormally silent for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "I don't think you are cruel enough."

"That's different," he sighed wearily. "If he is really convicted, I hope that his life will be worse than anyone else. What I want to say is that you can torture him, but don't take it for pleasure. , I don’t want to see you get caught up in the killing.”

Captain Dai finally came to his senses, and thought hard for a while, "I understand, don't worry, I have other business to do, and torturing Duan Wenfu is actually meaningless."

Ji Bieyun was relieved, and instructed: "Build a prison cell next to it, and keep him in it on weekdays. Be careful not to let this matter get out. Although Emperor Yuanhui and Wan Liangao both gave up on this person, we The abuse of lynching is also off the table."

"I see," Dai Fengmao lowered his head and wiped the blood on his hands, and asked, "These buildings have been cleaned up, are you still going back to live in Xuanqing Mountain today? Where's the quarter house?"

He couldn't make a choice for a while.

Although he had a cold war with Guan Chen, his feelings for Xuan Qing Shan could be called nostalgic, and he didn't really want to leave.But he has already returned to the army, if he slips to Xuanqing Mountain at any time, he may not be very competent.As for Ji Zhai... Xu Yang said yesterday when he went to Xuanqing Temple to deliver medicinal materials to him, that prince was very persistent, and would go to Ji Zhai to wait every day, just to see him.

……Headache.

Ji Bieyun originally wanted to deal with it coldly, and maybe it would subside if he left Shizi for a while, but the facts proved that it could not be subdued at all, and it would intensify instead.He still can't just avoid it blindly, it's best to go back and explain clearly when he's free.

Holding the feather duster in his hand, he was lost in thought, thinking that he hadn't said goodbye to Guan Chen before leaving Xuanqing Temple, he felt a little regretful, and his whole body was somewhat depressed.

I don't know when we will see each other again.

"Let's just stay in the barracks. He is a general anyway, so he can't stay in the barracks most of the time." After saying that, he walked out of the house.

Dai Fengmao sensed that something was wrong with the young man, so he was more concerned: "Do you need to inform Master Guanchen?"

Upon hearing the word Guan Chen, Ji Bieyun suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if hesitating for something.Turning around after a while, he asked, "Where is Duke Xiang now?"

"Ah? Of course it's in Chenjing." Dai Fengmao didn't quite understand why the young man asked this, but he still answered in detail, "I haven't left since I returned to Beijing from Xiangzhou a few days ago, but I went to the palace every day. This morning And went to court abnormally."

Ji Bieyun nodded, but stopped talking.

When I asked this myself, I actually wanted to know if Guan Chen had really gone to see Wan Liangao, but he couldn't say it... It was indeed Guan Chen's own business, and he couldn't possibly get involved in everything.

Even though Duan Wenfu had been arrested, he was still upset.

Discouraged, Ji Bieyun threw the feather duster on the table and strode outside.

"Why are you so angry, where are you going?" Captain Dai shouted from behind.

His habit of wanting to use martial arts whenever he has troubles has not changed, and he replied angrily: "Go to General Shi to learn martial arts!"

**

Now that he had returned to Youxiaowei, Ji Bieyun could not complain about his illness and asked for leave, so he honestly got up early the next day to go to court.

When waiting outside the gate of Yong'an, Ji Bieyun always felt that many pairs of eyes were watching him.All the ministers gathered here, most of them talked in groups of twos and threes, but he was alone, with no acquaintances, and no one was willing to come forward to make friends.

He felt like an outlier, an outlier who was being watched.

Guess and guess what those people are talking about.

Once Yushitai fell, he was completely famous among civil and military officials.At the beginning, he was demoted from Chenjing, but he was killed and returned not long after. After he sued Yushitai to the Ministry of Punishment with a pleading, everyone realized that he and the emperor cooperated in a play.Of course, the play falls apart by the end.

In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Yuanhui was forced to thoroughly investigate Yushitai, and rewarded Wan Liangao like a remedy. The imperial city was completely shrouded in the shadow of the stalemate between the monarch and his ministers for the past few days.

It seemed that Ji Bieyun was here to disrupt the situation at first.Fortunately, there is no hostile country in Daliang now, otherwise this person was designated as a spy sent from another country.

Ji Bieyun thought about it seriously, and felt that he was not a pillar of talent for Daliang, but rather a disaster that endangered the country.

He didn't want to, sin, sin.

After entering Dunhua Hall, he happened to be standing obliquely behind Xiangguo Gong.

Wan Liangao is very different from the rumored image.He originally thought that he would be a rough middle-aged man with a beard and a general's belly, but he didn't expect that he was tall and straight, powerful, and looked outstanding from the side, except for the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he didn't look old.Compared with the 34-year-old Yuan Huidi, his spirit is actually better.

old monster.

Ji Bieyun cursed secretly, frowned, and sniffed calmly, but he didn't smell the fragrance of powder.

Strange, where did the scent of powder on that letter come from?

Ji Bieyun was always absent-minded.

He was a little dazed when Emperor Yuanhui called his name, but fortunately, the emperor didn't openly find fault, he just boasted a few words about his going to the Ministry of Punishment to file a complaint, talking nonsense with his eyes open.Praising him for daring to act before others, he really has a lot of courage. If he hadn't sued him, there would be no public support for a thorough investigation of Yushitai's follow-up.But he was only promoted, so Emperor Yuan Hui temporarily stopped giving rewards, hoping that he can continue to devote himself to the court.

Although the emperor's tone was the same, Ji Bieyun could hear [-]% yin and yang strangeness from it.

Thinking of how angry Emperor Yuan Hui was, he didn't care about the other party's so much that he didn't even want to give him a reward.

It's just that when he was thanking him, he caught sight of something strange from the corner of his eye, Wan Liangao turned his head, and looked down at him vaguely.

Old monster, what are you looking at.

When Ji Bieyun got up, he looked back unyieldingly, and the old monster raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of a smile.

It's disgusting.

Until the end of the court, he still felt uncomfortable all over.

Wan Liangao's smile was very meaningful, and he instantly felt that all his thoughts were exposed.If Prime Minister Fang Sui is an old fox, then this person is more like a black-hearted jackal who has cultivated for a thousand years and has become a master.

The old monster officially appeared.
