Chapter 1336
The murderer Ming Sheng returned to the Heavenly Prison.
Chen Guanlou went to take a look, and sure enough, he was burly, with a face full of sideburns. He took a knife on his back, as if he didn't know pain, and dared to shout at the prison guards.
The Heavenly Prison's prison guards, although not as fierce as the Imperial Prison, were not good people either. They picked up water and fire sticks and hit Ming Sheng regardless of his life!
They hit him until he stopped cursing and making threats, and finally cried for his father and mother to surrender and beg for mercy.
His face became a pig's head.
Xu Fugui finished a cup of tea and looked at the pig-headed Ming Sheng: "Look at his eyes, still not honest. Come, drag him directly into the torture room, big torture!"
The prison guards received the order and dragged the Ming Sheng, who was like a dead dog, to the torture room. He didn't know what he was about to encounter.
Xu Fugui turned his head and gave Chen Guanlou a flattering smile: "Official, did the small one handle it appropriately?"
"Very appropriate. For this kind of extremely evil murderer, one should be so strict. Very good!"
Xu Fugui was praised and immediately smiled until he saw his teeth.
"The official praised me too much. I have been in the Heavenly Prison for decades, and other skills are mediocre, but only in cleaning up this group of prisoners, I can be said to be handy."
"I know. In the future, any similar work will be your responsibility."
"Thank you, official!" Xu Fugui was overjoyed.
Chen Guanlou reminded him again: "Remember to ask the Ming family for money. If they don't believe it, arrange for the Ming family to visit the prison. Let them see Ming Sheng's end with their own eyes."
"Official, rest assured, this matter is on the small one. Must let the Ming family bleed heavily and know pain."
Chen Guanlou was very satisfied.
Xu Fugui was full of energy, and the ways to ask for money instantly had one, two, three, four, five, six...
Chen Guanlou went to visit Ming Qiang again.
Ming Qiang still lived in the Heavenly Prison for the time being, treated by Medical Official Mu. He is an important witness; if he is released and killed by the Ming family, it will definitely not work. It is safer to live in the Heavenly Prison.
After a few days of treatment, there was some progress. Ming Qiang had a reaction to the outside world, and when asked some questions, he occasionally responded.
"When can he open his mouth to speak normally?"
"Still have to wait! He was not only poisoned but also stimulated."
Being abandoned and stabbed in the back by his biological father, can he not be stimulated? If it were a more fragile one, I guess he would have died long ago.
"The Ministry of Justice needs his confession, let him open his mouth to speak as soon as possible."
"Is the Ministry of Justice going to clean up the Ming family?" Medical Official Mu asked curiously.
Chen Guanlou smiled: "Such a big mistake, even if the Minister wants to cover it up, he won't do nothing. Internal handling is definitely indispensable. The Ming family also needs to be given enough lessons."
"Will Official She be dismissed?"
"No! But he will definitely be marginalized."
To dismiss Official She, it must go through the Ministry of Personnel. In this way, the matter cannot be covered up. Therefore, it can only be marginalized, and then find other reasons to dismiss him later. Or Official She finds a way to transfer out of the Ministry of Justice himself.
The Ming family learned that Ming Sheng was caught back to the Heavenly Prison, and the sky collapsed.
However, their sky collapsed earlier.
When the Heavenly Prison came to the door again and again to ask for money, they knew what it meant to be painful! Protecting the step-son, until the family property was almost gone, do they dare to continue protecting?
Human hearts are easy to change!
No accident, Old Man Ming and his wife quarreled every day, and even started fighting.
Official She also didn't give the couple a good face. To help Ming Sheng, he even implicated himself, losing a lot. He drove the couple away very impolitely!
The couple visited the prison, saw Ming Sheng's miserable appearance, and learned that he was sentenced to be beheaded immediately, Old Man Ming immediately made up his mind not to spend a single cent for Ming Sheng anymore.
The step-mother was forced to have no choice, and could only give up her biological son.
Ming Sheng suddenly had a brain, saw through the couple's plan, and broke out on the spot, howling in the prison cell. The prison guards held water and fire sticks and hit him to death.
Old Man Ming took the opportunity to forcibly take his wife out of the prison cell and never came again.
Chen Guanlou stood under the eaves, watching the couple leave coldly.
Medical Official Mu held a small copper stove and stood with him: "Ming Qiang can already open his mouth to speak, why is the official not happy?"
Chen Guanlou smiled softly: "The official is not unhappy. When Ming Qiang can accept questioning, notify the Ministry of Justice to record the confession in time."
"The old man knows."
Ming Qiang was lucky, met Medical Official Mu, solved the poison, his brain recovered, and he remembered all kinds of things before.
After recording the confession, the Six Shanmen took the document to the Ming family to catch people.
The Ming family couple was sentenced to one year of hard labor, and could not use money to redeem the crime.
Tragic!
One year of hard labor, I don't know if they can still live after a year.
Ming Qiang was released from prison and returned to the Ming family. With the help of the clan members, he divided the family, inherited the family's oil press, and became an oil seller.
Before the New Year, the last beheading at the execution ground, Ming Sheng was among them.
Heads rolled, dead and couldn't be more dead.
The victims' families had their great revenge reported, and took blood-dipped steamed buns to sacrifice to their dead family members.
There was nearly a month left before the New Year, and there was already some atmosphere on the street. Merchants also began year-end promotions, determined to make a big profit before the New Year.
Chen Guanlou didn't want to go home recently; the house was cold, and he had to worry about making a fire. He simply lived in the Heavenly Prison, eating in the cafeteria, and having prison guards take care of heating.
Although he didn't need heating, in order to respect the capital's winter, he still insisted on placing a fire basin in the office.
Old people are afraid of the cold.
As long as there was nothing to do, Medical Official Mu would weld himself in his office. General medical treatment would be sent to his eldest grandson Mu Wenxu. Only when the eldest grandson couldn't handle it would he come forward.
Chen Guanlou held an invitation, his brows slightly frowned.
He asked Medical Official Mu: "What is Song Shizheng's situation now? Why did he send me an invitation?"
Can't figure it out!
Medical Official Mu held the small copper stove for heating and said: "He has been raising for nearly a year, and his legs and feet can walk normally. Later, he only needs to use medicine on time. He invited the official to drink at the mansion, maybe just simply wanting to thank the official."
"Impossible!" Chen Guanlou immediately denied.
He indeed looked favorably on Song Shizheng's ability to achieve something, but he absolutely didn't think Song Shizheng would have no purpose, just to simply thank him and invite him to drink.
"Does the official think he has other purposes?"
Chen Guanlou didn't make a sound, and after a while, he asked: "What is the situation of the Dongping Wang Fu now? Has the Prince of Dongping thought about changing the heir?"
"The old man really doesn't know about this matter. However, I see that Song Shizheng's days in the Wang Fu are going well, and the Prince of Dongping values him more and more."
"Princess Wei, what is her situation now?"
"Still grounded in the courtyard, not allowed to take a step out. Even the housekeeping power of the inner courtyard has been given to the side consort."
"Did the Emperor not further clean her up?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.
"The Emperor doesn't need to further clean her up. Just being grounded is enough to make the Prince of Dongping lose his heart, and the power in his hands is also taken away. It is even possible that even his son's heir status cannot be kept. In the end, she only has the empty title of Princess of Dongping, which is more uncomfortable than killing her."
Medical Official Mu understands these inner courtyard intrigues better.
Could it be that Song Shizheng couldn't hold back and was preparing to take further action? Finding himself to drink, what exactly is the plan?
