Chapter 2 starts with the empty seal case?
Chapter 2: Encountering an empty seal case right at the start?
After opening the door, Ye Xuan basked in the sunshine and simply stretched his muscles a few times, feeling extremely comfortable all over.

After a quick wash, Ye Xuan prepared to set off for the Zhenfusi Yamen.

The Zhenfusi Yamen was not far from Ye Xuan’s old house, about two miles away, and it would take no more than an incense stick of time to walk there.

After locking the door, Ye Xuan turned his head and took a look at his dilapidated old house before leaving.

After being exposed to wind and sun, the wall has begun to have several obvious cracks, and even the roof looks precarious, with ivy and moss in the corners.

Ugh!
Ye Xuan was too lazy to lock the house.

I'm afraid that even if he attracts a thief, the other party will leave him two taels of rice before he is willing to leave.

"When I have money, I must renovate this old house." Ye Xuan secretly made up his mind to renovate the house when he made money.

This was also his first goal in the Ming Dynasty.

……

Zhenfusi Yamen.

At this moment, the downtown is bustling with people and traffic.

This is in stark contrast to the deserted scene in front of the Zhenfusi Yamen.

Mainly in order to avoid attracting attention, the Jinyiwei chose to build the Zhenfusi Yamen in such a sparsely populated place.

"Is this the Pacification Division?"

Ye Xuan looked carefully at the magnificent building in front of him.

The first thing that catches your eye is a vermilion gate that is extremely majestic and looks very impressive under the sunlight.

Slightly in front of the gate, there are two pillars standing, supporting the beams of the house, giving people a sense of solemnity.

There was a plaque hanging above the gate with three large characters written in a flamboyant style - Zhenfusi!

When you push the door open and walk in, you will see the sound of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and it is extremely quiet. It seems so peaceful and tranquil, not much different from an ordinary family's home.

Ye Xuan knew that many things could not be judged solely by appearance.

Although the Pacification Office appears to be calm on the surface, it is actually quite complicated.

Only by going deeper can you reach the torture chamber, which is hell on earth.

Every time someone was arrested, they would first be sent to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. If the criminal refused to confess, they would be subjected to inhumane punishments. In most cases, they would be tortured into confessing.

It’s just that these kinds of things are done by grassroots people, and middle-level leaders like him only need to report the results to the top management.

“Is this my office?”

Ye Xuan walked into a room relying on his memory, sat down on the armchair, crossed his legs and looked extremely comfortable.

No wonder all those leaders in my previous life had a potbellied look. If I could be so comfortable every day, I would probably become potbellied in no time.

I worked as a worker all my life in my previous life, and now my luck has finally turned and I can enjoy myself.

"Sir, you are finally here?!"

Just when Ye Xuan was about to take a nap, the tightly closed door was pushed open.

Then a man in black robe and holding a scimitar walked in.

The man had dark skin, a tall build, and nothing special about him.

They are all the type that you can’t find in a crowd.

"I, your humble servant, greet you, sir!"

The man came to Ye Xuan, knelt on one knee and bowed to him.

Ye Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at the man who walked in, recognizing that he was his subordinate.

Today, Ye Xuan serves as a centurion and is in charge of more than a hundred people.

He definitely couldn't manage so many people by himself, so he set up two general flags to supervise this group of people.

One of the two general flags is the man standing in front of Ye Xuan now. His name is Song Zhenshan.

The other one is called Wang Feihu.

"Get up."

Ye Xuan yawned lazily and said.

Song Zhenshan stood up. Looking at Song Zhenshan, Ye Xuan asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for me?"

Song Zhenshan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sir, we arrested a county magistrate three days ago and wanted to interrogate him, but he refused to speak!"

The duties of the Jinyiwei are interrogation, arrest, investigation, etc.

These three things are done by people at the grassroots level.

Middle-level managers like Ye Xuan will go to assist when grassroots units are unable to handle the matter.

As for the final credit...it belongs to the top management.

Now the general flag at the grassroots level is unable to interrogate the criminal, so he can only come to Ye Xuan for help.

"Caught a county magistrate?" Ye Xuan frowned in confusion.

The Jinyiwei had great power, and the arrest of officials was not uncommon.

They have even arrested high-ranking officials of the third rank.

However, what puzzled Ye Xuan was not that the county magistrate was arrested, but that this small county magistrate actually refused to speak when being interrogated by the Jinyiwei.

It can be said to be extremely audacious!
After all, the Jinyiwei work for the emperor. Who would dare not speak when being interrogated?

This is probably the first troublemaker like this!
Ye Xuan became interested and asked, "Why did you catch him?"

Song Zhenshan explained to Ye Xuan: "

Because your majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the blank account books in the Ministry of Revenue, and our people have been tracking down the matter for a few days and finally found the person who was arrested, Cheng Gong, the county magistrate of Cao County. "

"But this guy has refused to speak and has been cursing in prison."

Blank ledger?

Hearing this, Ye Xuan fell into deep thought.

This thing...why does it sound so familiar?

suddenly!

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's mind, and his body shuddered.

What the hell!

Could this be the famous Empty Seal Case? !
What a coincidence that I caught up with you?

No one has such luck!

When Ye Xuan reacted, he suddenly felt that he was extremely lucky.

You know, the Empty Seal Case was one of the four bloodiest cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

And now that he has come across it by accident, he must seize the opportunity and get a lot of rewards from the system.

Without further ado!

After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan became impatient and stood up and said, "Let's go! Take me to see who this Cheng Gong is."

At this moment, Ye Xuan was very afraid that this matter would be intercepted by other Jinyiwei first, and then he would be afraid that he would lose a great opportunity.

quickly!

After many times of traveling back and forth, Ye Xuan and Song Zhenshan came here after entering the secret passage of the torture chamber.

clap clap clap!
"Ahhhh——!"

In the torture chamber, all kinds of screams were heard one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, just like hell on earth.

Not only that, the light here is dim, like a cave without sunlight, which makes people fall into endless despair.

Ye Xuan quickly walked to the cell where Cheng Gong was imprisoned.

"You come to interrogate me again? Haha! Don't waste your energy."

"You good-for-nothings like you are not qualified to interrogate me!"

"Go and call out all the hundred and thousand households! You are a bunch of bastards."

As he stepped into the cell, before he could see Cheng Gong's face clearly, Ye Xuan heard him cursing.
