Chapter 62 Liquidation

The dark-light prison of the Ministry of Justice has become lively recently.

Usually, there are not so many people involved, and the Ministry of Justice does not directly manage the case. It is usually only responsible for reviewing the case files of each government office, promulgating and revising criminal laws, or reviewing major cases.

Now we are encountering a large number of imperial cases, most of whom were escorted back to Beijing from Luoyang, so so many people were locked up at once.

The conditions here are much better than ordinary prisons. They are not a wet dungeon. The ground is dry and clean, and the cells are covered with hay.

However, it is still like hell for prisoners, because most of the prisoners who can enter here have identities, otherwise they are not qualified to let the central government of the court take direct detention.

Yao Chong's family, who participated in the rebellion, were locked up here after being taken to Chang'an.

There were more than twenty people arrested, mainly the Yao family and close relatives.

As for those pure servants and servants, they were released after they were found out in Luoyang.

There were very few cases of being implicated by the judicial yamen in the Tang Dynasty. Even if most of the people who committed serious crimes were sentenced to beheading themselves, their families were either exiled or demoted to slaves, as long as they were not dead, they usually received more or less help from their colleagues in the court.

Because the Tang Dynasty had many marriages, the unlucky family was always in trouble, and there were always in-service officials to help deal with it.

But the situation of this rebellion was different, and there were many severe punishments. First, Cuimen was directly massacred by the army, and then many families escorted to Beijing were sentenced to implicated.

Gao Lishi, Liu Youqiu, Zhang Wei, Jiang Hao, Jiang Changqing and others around Li Longji were not able to be captured after the war. Some committed suicide and some were killed by their subordinates, but the blame was still not over, and their families were also settled by Qiu Hou.

The Yao Chong case has been being tried in the past few days. Most of the Yao family members who were locked in prison have guessed the result, but they are nothing more than death.

Yao Chong played a huge role in Li Longji's rebellion. He was an important member around him. How could he not settle them?

Yao Chong's family has more than 20 people, including five or six brothers, sons, nephews, etc. The others are all female relatives. In addition to the wives of brothers and nephews, his concubines, and only one daughter.

His daughter's name is Yao Wan. She is quite famous in Shaanxi County. She heard that she looks like a flower and jade. There were endless matchmakers who came to propose marriage. They were all local tribes, and even other major tribes came to marry.

Her father was also the prime minister and came from a scholarly family. He was the standard heroine of the story of a talented man and beautiful woman. He was also fantasized by many arrogant and talented men and met a romantic relationship by chance...

Unexpectedly, Yao Chong failed in the morning and was about to lose his fortune. Although no one dared to plead openly in the court, he had to feel regretful in private.

Even if you are locked in jail, you are naturally beautiful and difficult to give up on yourself. Even the jailer who delivers food will take a few more glances.

The men's prisons are separated. Nearly twenty female members of the Yao family were locked up in a cell, and there was not enough space. Except for Yao Chong himself, many other prisoners were crowded together.

The place where I sleep is a pile of hay, which is already very good. If I can eat half full, I have to thank God for my washing...

Can this be paid attention to in prison at this time?

So Yao Chong and other women were wearing dirty prison clothes, messy hair, and dark and dirty faces. Even if they were beautiful before, they were unsightly.

But even if Yao Wan is so dirty, she will not be ugly. Shuiling's eyes and better facial lines are still beautiful.

No wonder the prison guards also paid attention to her.

On that day, a prison officer brought two prisoners to open the door and clean up the garbage. This was originally something that was done by a low-level mailman, but a prison officer came just for the young and beautiful Yao Wan.

Yao Wan was uncomfortable by the jailer with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and she felt something was wrong, but now she could only remain silent in this situation.

If it were before, who would have dared to be so unreasonable to her?

Her father has been an official for many years and his reputation in his hometown is not just a boast.

I thought the prisoner would just take a look, but after a while he actually moved his hands and reached out to touch Yao Wan's chin with a smile.

Yao Wan hurriedly retreated and avoided, but the heavy chain under her feet made her not take a step, but her upper body leaned back, and fell to the ground accidentally and screamed in pain.

A female prisoner next to her hurriedly went to help her, and the prison guard also came up to help her. Yao Wan angrily scolded: You're so rude!

The two young men immediately burst into laughter and the prisoner laughed and said: I'm going to be executed tomorrow, is it okay to help me?After saying that, he reached out to touch her neck.

Bang!Yao Wan opened his hand with a wide eyelid and cursed, "Shameless."

The prisoner said angrily: Don’t toast and not eat the punishment!

After saying that, he forced himself over. Yao Wan and his concubines and sisters-in-law were so scared that they stood aside. How could they dare to help?

Yao Wan was anxious and tried to break free with her hands and feet, but she was grabbed by her sleeve. She didn't think the fabric was really inferior, and she heard a sound of her sleeves and her sleeves were torn off, revealing the skin on her arms.

Her arms were originally covered with sleeves, which were much cleaner than her face, and she shone with a snow-white luster in the dark prison.

Yao Wan hurriedly hugged her arm. She had never been treated like this. She was angry and afraid that she would almost cry.

The prison officer looked at the white skin and immediately shone his eyes and approached two steps forward hesitantly. After all, this was in the Ministry of Justice, and it was too much to pay.

Maybe the prison officer just wanted to make fun of it and didn't really plan to do anything, but his lustful look scared Yao Wan. She rolled and cried and cried: Don't come over, don't come over...

At this moment, he suddenly shouted: Bold!Stop it!

Everyone was shocked, especially the prison guards were so scared that they shook their whole body and almost sat down.

After a while, Yao Wan looked up at the door of the cell and saw a tall man in green mahjong standing there angrily, pressing the sword in his right hand, his face full of horror, which made people very scared, but she was not just afraid, because this person was here to stop the atrocities.

Behind the man in green robe with a slightly black face, there was also a middle-aged man in purple robe and two officials in red robe.

Yao Wan's father is an official, so she is naturally very familiar with official clothing. When she sees the color of the official robe, she knows that the person who comes to the court is a senior official. The tall man wearing robe who is parallel to the purple silk official robe must have a low status.

In the hearts of people like her, they naturally realize that the uncles and uncles who are high-ranking officials are good people like their fathers. A sense of security suddenly pops up in their hearts, and they are still a little moved, just like a drowning grabbing a life-saving straw.

The King of Jin calmed down and I would definitely punish this person severely.The middle-aged man in purple robe should have felt the murderous aura of the tall man in purple robe and hurriedly persuaded him.

Yao Wan didn't know who the King of Jin was in the mouth of that person. There were many princes of Li Tang. Yao Wan had been imprisoned since last year, so naturally he didn't know that Xue Chongxun was named a prince.

At this time, the tall man let go of the hilt of the sword and said: The Ministry of Justice is under the jurisdiction of Xianggong Cui (Cui Shi). It is a bit disrespectful to cut off the people of the Ministry of Justice... He shouted to the prison officer again, otherwise I would kill you with one knife like killing an ant!

A bastard, why don’t you get out of here!Go back and wait to receive the crime!The middle-aged man who was called Xianggong Cui also cursed.

The prison officer rolled out of the prison door in a mess.Yao Wan felt relieved when she saw him like that. She felt a little more favorable to the taller man. She thought that although he was fierce and vulgar, she was still very good.

When Yao Wan was about to say a few words of thanks, she saw that the person who saved beauty didn't even look at him directly, probably because he was too dirty and ugly.

When she was losing, she suddenly felt someone approaching and instinctively wanted to hide, but she heard a low voice saying: Don't be afraid, your clothes are torn.

It turned out to be his voice, and Yao Wan didn't hide, and her body suddenly felt warm, and a robe draped on her body.

The material is relatively thick, but it lacks the aftertaste of soapcorn spice and a clean taste.

Yao Wan's face turned red, she wanted to say something but couldn't say a word, almost forgot that she would die tomorrow.

At this time, the middle-aged man in purple robe next to him said: Come on, let’s open the shackles of these people.

Someone around him suddenly started to speak in a low voice, and the middle-aged man in purple robe explained: Li Longji's plot to rebel, resulting in the waste of people's wealth and national taxes, and the deaths and injuries of the military and civilians. He was extremely guilty and those who were threatened to follow him severely punish him!Yao Chong was even more guilty, and he should have been implicated. The joint trial of the three judicial departments was also the result.However, King Jin, who thought that Yao Chong had made contributions to the country, had pleaded with love from many sources, and now he was magnanimous, and had just given up the punishment first and pardoned the Yao family's family for death. The male was exiled to Lingnan and the female was demoted to prostitutes.King Jin did another good thing, buying all of you as writer slaves, so as to avoid becoming prostitutes and being despised by others. Who dares to take you in except King Jin in the court?He is your benefactor, remember.

The women in the prison immediately started to cry and fell to their knees to thank them.Although being a slave is not a good ending, it is much better than being beheaded.

The tall man waved his hand and said: Forget it, get up, get rid of it and follow me, no need to be a prisoner.

Yao Wan took a secret look and saw that the man was wearing a white silk lining on his outer clothes, which was spotlessly clean, but he was really disheveled when walking alone with the lining on his outer clothes...

Another red robe official joked: I heard that when Xue Lang was stationed in Luoyang, he met Bu Feiyan, the 24th floor's courtesy, who came to plead for Xianggong Yao. Is this really true?

King Jin smiled and said: This is really the case.

When Yao Wan heard their conversation, she immediately understood... Is this King of Jin Xue Chongxun?The prince surnamed Xue also led his troops to Luoyang. Who else is besides him?

Her mood suddenly became a little complicated. Although the crime of her father Yao Chong should not be counted as Xue Chongxun, if Xue Chongxun does not bring troops to fight, someone else will come.

But when she thought that her father was about to be executed and Xue Chongxun was her father's former enemy, she felt uncomfortable, and her enemy was not considered a sign.

However, Yao Wan quickly figured out that now that she has become a slave, why are she still awkward to do this?
