Chen's Mansion, Chen Yan, who was once extremely glorious, was also sealed by the Jinyiwei after being investigated. When he was taken into the carriage, Chen Yan finally remembered and looked back. He glanced at the mansion where he lived.

Chen Yan knew that maybe this was his last glance. The family around him was still crying. For them, the sudden disaster made everyone panic. The family, which was originally rich and incredible, became prisoners in the blink of an eye. If it were anyone, I would probably not be able to accept it.

Chen Yan himself couldn't accept it, and he couldn't believe that all this was true. As if he was dreaming, he looked at the originally glorious Chen Mansion in a trance, Chen Yan seemed to see him. He saw himself smiling and bowing to his colleagues, watching his disdain for those villains who clinged to him. He looked at the excitement when he accepted bribes and counted money, and watched a whole family screaming around his master and elders.

And now the Chen Mansion, which has been sealed, suddenly became lonely and desolate.

Looking at Chen Yan, who was still immersed in the scenery of the past, Xia Dechao, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, shouted: "Mr. Chen, it's time to go on the road."

Yes, it's time to go on the road. Chen Yan woke up from his memories. Xia Dechao's words probably have two meanings. One layer was to urge him to go on the road as soon as possible, and the door to the imperial prison was already open for him. The other layer was to say, the one waiting for Chen Yan was the underworld road.

Chen Yan was heavy and was taken into the carriage step by step. The carriage drove slowly, moving on the way to the imperial prison.

Another group of people, Li Hao, also a thousand households of Jinyiwei, took people to Hanlin Academy to compile Wei Zaode's house. In fact, Li Hao was a little disdainful. Why did he mobilize so many people to search for it?

Wei Zaode was the top scorer this year. After the palace examination, the top scorer was awarded the editor of Hanlin Academy, the second scorer was awarded the editor of Hanlin Academy. The rest of the Jinshi who passed the examination were called the Shujishi of Hanlin Academy. Those who passed the examination three years later were awarded the editorial and review officials of Hanlin Academy, and the rest were assigned to the chief positions of each department, or were given priority to the magistrate, which was called the Sanguan.

Although this is a promising position, Wei Zaode, who had just been named a composer, did not get much money. Shi Xiaofan wanted to touch him because Wei Zaode was too shameless and deserved to die.

This person was deeply favored by Emperor Chongzhen and finally became the chief minister of the cabinet. From the top scorer in the 13th year of Chongzhen to the appointment of the chief minister of the cabinet in the 17th year, Wei Zaode's life was promoted by a rocket. Just such a person, he waved his tail in front of Li Zicheng and begged for mercy and scolded Chongzhen. Li Zicheng was not ashamed of his character and handed him over to Liu Zongmin.

As a result, under Liu Zongmin's torture, the shameless Wei Zaode actually said that he would give his biological daughter to Liu Zongmin. As a result, Liu Zongmin broke his head alive.

At this time, Wei Zaode obtained a painting of "Five Horses" by the Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin, who couldn't let go of it and ponder it day and night. When he woke up early in the morning, he looked at the painting happily: "The five horses are so graceful, the king is not good at martial arts in the autumn wind, and the straw and grain are full of wealth in his prime. He is close to the world in the morning and feasting at night. It is wonderful and wonderful, and he deserves to be the 'the number one Song painting'."

"Don't be wonderful, come with us, Lord Wei Zaode Wei." Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

Wei Zaode was startled and turned around and was shocked. The "Five Horse Picture" in his hand fell to the ground: "How did you come in? You trespass into this government house, so brave!"

Li Hao did not rush to answer, but smiled and bent down to pick up the "Five Horses Picture": "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, such a precious painting, Lord Wei, don't ruin it. Lord Wei, are you confused? Are there any places we can't go to when dealing with the case in the Jinyiwei? "

Like Chen Yan, Wei Zaode immediately peed, and he was always eloquent and stuttered: "Jin, Jinyiwei, I, what crime did I commit."

"Oh, Lord Wei, you are a smart person, so I don't have to worry too much." Li Hao even picked up the painting with some pain and sighed: "Actually, you have not had any more serious mistakes. But you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

Wei Zaode was shocked. He was still a little cautious in his career and did not remember anyone he had offended: "This, please let the Lord Qianhu make clear this."

Li Hao sneered: "This Lord Wei has arrived at the imperial prison, and go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person."

Crown Prince Wei Zaode was too confused. He and Zhu Cilan had no intersection. Why did a young crown prince attack himself? Thinking of this, Wei Zaode became angry: "What is the crime of the subordinates? You Jinyiwei must rely on evidence to handle the case!"

"Evidence?" Li Hao shook the calligraphy and paintings in his hand: "Isn't this evidence? This painting is "Five Horses" by Li Boshi of the Song Dynasty, which is priceless. There are not many paintings by Mr. Longmian's paintings even in the imperial palace. How can you get the editor of a small Hanlin Academy?" (Li Gonglin, whose courtesy name is Boshi, and his pseudonym Longmian's name is Longmian.)

Wei Zaode swallowed in horror: "Yes, it was given by others."

"Who gave me!" Li Hao's tone was stern and pressed him step by step.

"Yes, it's a friend." Wei Zaode panicked.

"Friend?" This time Li Hao smiled lightly: "Chang Wenxing, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, went to Beijing to get an official career. After being recommended by others, he learned that Lord Wei would be the chief examiner of Jiaxing in the 14th year of Chongzhen. So he found a lot of money to find the "Five Horses Picture" by the Song painter Li Boshi to present it to Lord Wei. Lord Wei left a few words to this scholar named Chang Wenxing: 'It's easy to do, it's easy to do.' After he got the words, Lord Wei felt like he had a treasure and would take it out to appreciate it every day. How about it, Lord Wei, do you have anything else to say? Lord Wei, this time your head is probably abandoned in the West City."

The terrifying Jinyiwei was really omnipresent. They had already investigated all this clearly, and Wei Zaode was suddenly collapsed on the ground. What Emperor Chongzhen hated the most was private fraud. Now, it was not an exaggeration to be dragged to the Western Market Court.

Xidashi Street was abbreviated as "Xishi" in the Ming Dynasty. It was a murderous execution ground in the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Qing Dynasty moved the murderous execution ground from Xisi Pailou (called Xishi at that time) in the Ming Dynasty to Caishikou outside Xuanwu Gate.

Why did the Ming Dynasty set up the execution ground here and not elsewhere? Because the feudal dynasties in ancient my country executed prisoners in the prosperous downtown area to achieve the goal of killing one to warn a hundred. Therefore, there are sayings of "in prison in the city" and "abandoned the city". This shows that Xisi Pailou was quite prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, with many shops and carriages and horses and pedestrians passing by.
