Chapter 1205: The Ins and Outs of the Village Slaughter Case

"Old Mu, oh Old Mu, I thought of you as my closest friend, the confidant of confidants, and I discussed everything with you. Even the business of killing heads didn't avoid you. As a result, you're good; you actually hid such a big thing from me. You hid it from me so bitterly!"

After Chen Guanlou returned to the Heavenly Prison, he caught Medical Official Mu and began to accuse him.

Medical Official Mu was dumbfounded.

When Chen Guanlou saw this, he immediately snorted coldly, "Minister Sun said that many years ago, the Heavenly Prison also borrowed a batch of prison guards to the Imperial Prison. As a result, these prison guards were all beheaded in the end. Do you dare to say you don't know about this?"

Medical Official Mu suddenly realized.

He hurriedly explained. He couldn't let the lord misunderstand that he harbored dissent.

"My lord misunderstood this old man! It's not that this old man deliberately hid it, but that there was a gag order from above at that time, ordering anyone not to reveal a word to the outside world. After all, such a big thing, saying it out would damage the face of the imperial court and the face of the Ministry of Justice. Decades passed, and this old man almost forgot. It wasn't until the Imperial Prison came to borrow people again that this old man remembered this matter in hindsight."

"Then why didn't you say it? Until now, you're still stuttering." Chen Guanlou was extremely dissatisfied.

Such a big thing, if he hadn't gone to the Ministry of Justice today, he would still be kept in the dark. There was no record of this in the files. Obviously, in order to cover up the ugliness, the information from that year had been destroyed.

"This old man didn't know how to open his mouth. Furthermore, this old man also harbored a fluke in his heart. The Heavenly Prison, after the lord's rectification, has had prison guards who started to learn to follow the rules in the past two years, which is ten times better than that year.

The disaster that happened that year, although there was the reason of the Imperial Prison, more reasons lay in the fact that these prison guards were originally a group of bold, unscrupulous, and awe-less people. Because the Jiang Jiang Yucheng at that time couldn't control them, when the Imperial Prison came to borrow people, they decisively threw this group of people over. Alas..."

Recalling that year, Medical Official Mu sighed! Tragic!

At that time, he was still young and had only worked in the Heavenly Prison for two or three years, counting as half a newcomer. After the incident, he went to the scene; at that time, he didn't have the broad knowledge he had now, and he vomited on the spot.

Chen Guanlou frowned, "Don't rush to sigh; tell me carefully, what exactly happened."

Medical Official Mu began to recall the past, "That year, the late Emperor had only inherited the throne for a few years, working hard to govern, wise and martial, and decisive in killing. The lord should also know that the first twenty years of the late Emperor were a truly wise monarch. It's a pity that he became more and more muddled as he got older.

The late Emperor was wise, which meant that the court was changing people every three days, eliminating old people and enabling new people. During that time, the Imperial Prison was overcrowded, and every time the Brocade Uniform Guard moved, the whole capital was nervous.

At that time, the Brocade Uniform Guard was truly powerful. Compared with that year, the current Brocade Uniform Guard has restrained a lot.

There were too many prisoners, and the prison guards of the Imperial Prison were not enough to use. So the Imperial Prison borrowed about a hundred prison guards from the Heavenly Prison, all of whom were disobedient and full of five poisons.

These people stayed in the Imperial Prison for about half a year, and after returning, they made the Heavenly Prison smoky and the atmosphere corrupt. At that time, many prisoners died innocently. At first, several prison clerks and prison wardens hid it from above and applied slight punishment.

Later, those people became more and more excessive, started playing with abuse and killing, and had several vicious cases. In order to settle the matter, they bribed the prison clerks and prison wardens at that time and continued to act recklessly in the Heavenly Prison.

Perhaps it was that the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison could no longer satisfy their desire for abuse and killing, so they ran to the neighboring female prison to make waves, and were later stopped.

I thought they would stop for a while, but no one expected that these people actually ran outside, and just for the sake of asking for directions, they actually had the idea of killing all the villagers and occupying the women in the village. So there was the tragedy of slaughtering the village!"

After Chen Guanlou finished listening, he frowned deeply.

The prison guards in Medical Official Mu's mouth were no different from demons and monsters. Asking for directions, and then having the heart to kill?

"Such a ghostly reason, did the government believe it?"

"The government didn't actually believe it." Medical Official Mu pondered for a while before saying, "At that time, I was young and had low seniority, and those prison guards didn't associate with me, so the news was limited. Later, after a few years, I met an imprisoned official.

According to the imprisoned official, asking for directions and having the heart to kill was purely to make the face look good and fool people outside. The real reason was that the village was guilty of harboring a treasure, which was known by these prison guards, so they deliberately rushed over to grab the treasure. The robbery failed, so it led to the tragedy of slaughtering the village."

"What treasure?" Chen Guanlou was curious.

"This old man doesn't know either. That imprisoned official didn't say, and I guess he wasn't very clear either. Anyway, this was a premeditated massacre. So those prison guards were all beheaded in the end.

Right in the courtyard outside, in front of other prison guards, the executioner cut off one head with one knife, and the ground of the courtyard was soaked with blood. Since then, the Heavenly Prison guards have started to learn to restrain themselves."

Medical Official Mu felt tight and cold in his heart when he mentioned the events of that year! As if he had returned to the scene of the beheading that year, he had a feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit.

In the end, it was he and the coroner who sewed up the corpses. It was also he and the coroner who took a group of handymen to transport the corpses to the outskirts of the city for burial.

For the sake of punishment, the government did not allow family members to collect the corpses. Because of this, several families made trouble and were finally exiled to the border. The matter then subsided.

In short, the events of that year were quite tragic.

The late Emperor was a person who wanted face, so very few people outside knew about this matter, and many people hadn't even heard of it. Everyone tried their best to cover the lid and not let this matter leak out.

The face of the imperial court was preserved, the matter was covered up, and finally, the files were sealed. As time passed, many people had forgotten about this matter.

Medical Official Mu could remember it, firstly because he was a participant, and also participated in collecting the corpses. Secondly, the Imperial Prison came to borrow people again, which triggered a long-lost memory. In itself, he was a doctor, and his memory was stronger than ordinary people. So many medicinal materials, so many medicinal properties, so many prescriptions... without a good memory, one couldn't do the profession of a doctor.

"I just said that the Imperial Prison is comparable to the eighteenth layer of hell; whoever goes there must become perverted."

Chen Guanlou's tone was very disgusted.

"We must find a way to let the Imperial Prison return the people as soon as possible. These bastards, they ruin people without fatigue!"

Medical Official Mu comforted him in turn, "The lord doesn't need to worry too much. Now this batch of prison guards cannot be mentioned in the same breath as those prison guards of that year. Compared with that year, this batch of prison guards knows how to follow the rules, do things honestly, and dare not mess around. Presumably, even if they are affected by the Imperial Prison, it is limited."

"Regardless of whether it is limited or unlimited, I do not allow my people to be poisoned by others. Being poisoned by the environment is also not allowed. I just said that the Brocade Uniform Guard is poisonous and harms people deeply. In this case, it is even more necessary to ask the Brocade Uniform Guard for money as compensation!"

Chen Guanlou was furious.

Where did Xiao Jincheng get the face to dare to complain? The other party didn't look at how rotten the Brocade Uniform Guard and the Imperial Prison were. ===== CHAPTER 1206 =====
