Chapter 1166 Inquiry One

Carrying the medicine box, Man Bao stared at Tao Yi with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief, "What, can't see?"

Tao Yi's eyes fell on the basket and medicine box they brought, and said, "This is the order we received this morning, and we obeyed the order, but although you can't see it, the food and medicine you sent can still help. handed in."

Man Bao turned his head to look at Bai Shan, looked down at the food in the basket and the medicine bag she was holding, and frowned.

Tao Yi probably knew what they were worried about, and said: "Don't worry, if the medicine and food are in my hands, I will never let a third person touch them again. I will send them directly to the cell."

The two of them could only give him the basket and medicine bag, "Mr. Tao, please ask Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue for us to see if they have any special needs, and we will bring them tomorrow."

Tao Yi responded and went in with his things. After a while, he came out and shook his head at the two of them, "They don't have any requirements."

Bai Shan rolled his eyes and coughed softly, "Master Tao, we brought some things for Ba Bo this time, can we go in and see him?"

Man Bao immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I have only heard his voice and never saw him, but this time we can have a good meeting."

Tao Yi took a deep look at them and nodded, "I can see you."

Bai Shan turned his head to Man Bao and said, "Just wait for me, I'll go back to the car to get something."

Man Bao nodded.

Seeing Bai Shan running out, he found Daji who was waiting outside and said, "Go and buy a few buns. I want big meat buns, um, buy ten or eight. It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, as long as you have a big meat and a lot of meat."

Although Daji didn't know what the young master was going to do, he still turned around and ran off in a carriage.

There are no stalls in front of the Tianjiao gate, and no one will look for this bad luck, but as soon as you turn the corner of the street, there are buns.

Daji went to buy the steamed buns quickly and let the carriage gallop back, handing over the steamed buns in two paper bags to Bai Shan.

The steamed bun was just taken out of the steamer, and it was still hot. Bai Shan felt a little hot when he held it.

He rushed into the prison holding the paper bag. Tao Yi, who was already bored of waiting, saw him come in with two bags of steaming steamed buns, and even with his toes, he knew that he bought it now.

He opened one eye and closed the other as if he didn't see it, and turned to lead them in.

There are three lanes in the Heavenly Prison. Usually, the officials who are on duty work in the lobby. It is also very dark here. Next door is the torture chamber. Bai Shan and the others used to live in the first lane. The second way.

Unlike their passage where only the four of them were locked up, many cells here were stuffed with people, and the cells were very small. Basically, there was only one person squatting in each cell.

Man Bao looked all the way and couldn't help but whispered to Tao Yi who was walking in front, "Master Tao, why are the cells here so small?"

Tao Yi said with an expressionless face, "These are all felons who were escorted into the capital by their subordinates, and they have been approved to be beheaded in autumn."

He glanced at Man Bao and said, "The side where you live is usually reserved for criminals. Of course, they will be sent to the Heavenly Prison, and most of them will be sent to the execution ground in the end."

Man Bao and Bai Shan felt a little cold in their necks at the same time, they swallowed their saliva and asked, "What about the half?"

"A few will be exiled, and very few will be able to escape, so you are lucky."

Man Bao couldn't help muttering, "We're not prisoners."

Tao Yi didn't squint, "If the evidence you gave cannot be confirmed to be true, then it is a false accusation against the royal family, which is the charge of the Zhu clan, and then there will only be more people in the prison, not less. Okay. Here, here, this is Babo."

Hearing his name, the dark group of people leaning on the kang raised their heads and looked outside. When they met the gazes of Bai Shan and Man Bao, he was a little puzzled, "Looking for me?"

Bai Shan coughed lightly: "Master, I am..."

"Oh, I know, next door." Although Ba Pu had never seen them before, he recognized their voices and couldn't help laughing: "You guys went out yesterday, why did you come in again today?"

Bai Shan forwarded the bun in his hand and said, "Let's see you and give you something to eat by the way."

Ba Pu immediately stepped forward. Unlike Bai Shan and the others, even though he was in prison, he had iron chains tied to his hands and feet. He took the paper bag in his hand and directly took a bite of a white and fat steamed bun. The smell of meat wafted out immediately, and the people in the nearby cells became restless. .

Bai Shan couldn't bear it on his face, hesitantly glanced at the paper bag in his hand.

Tao Yi looked at them and said coldly: "Sympathize with them? That's not necessary. Which of the people who can be brought into this prison is not carrying a murder case?"

Cases that have been sentenced to death in various places have to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review, because human life is at stake, except for particularly critical cases, such as fighting disasters and pacifying people's hearts, it is necessary to wait for the county magistrate to get over the judgment of the Ministry of Justice. All death penalty cases must go through the Ministry of Justice. Review.

In order to save time and improve efficiency, the Ministry of Punishment generally conducts a unified review after the middle of the year. Before the autumn harvest, the official documents after the review will be distributed, and executions will be carried out in various places. Therefore, most prisoners ask for beheadings after the autumn.

Only in cases with particularly bad effects or controversial cases, the local government needs to escort the prisoner and the case file into Beijing, and the criminal department will try it again. If there is an unjust, false or wrong case, it will be rehabilitated. And the execution in Beijing is to be an example to others.

Therefore, in the end, the prisoners who can be locked in the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Punishment waiting for the Autumn Judgment are either those who committed evil deeds near the capital, or those who have a particularly bad influence.

For example, Ba Bo, who had four lives on his body, were all killed after being discovered during the theft process. One of them was a yamen who was hunting him down.

Ba Bo didn't care, and said while nibbling on the buns, "Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niangzi have good hearts, so don't scare others, although we have all killed people, but at this time people are locked in a cell, and we can't harm them again. What's more, it's too late for me to be grateful for the food they gave me, so how could it hurt anyone?"

Tao Yi sneered, "Didn't the old lady in Qijia Village, Maozhou, Jiannan Road, also took you in and gave you two meals? Just because her son came back from the county and seemed to have seen your wanted portrait, you Killing their mother and son ruthlessly, the kindness of a meal doesn't seem to be that important to you."

Babo stopped talking.

Tao Yi turned to Bai Shan and Man Bao and said, "Let's chat, I'll wait for you outside."
