大明曆‧天啟六年五月廿四日‧北鎮撫司詔獄‧酉時49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoVm6XxRT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6MewDwR81
這就是詔獄？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DnIwWVkv6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqGGm2MjzD
青石磚舖就的地板上，攤放著一床草席，上頭還有一捆薄毯，牢房一角甚至還有張矮几與一方蒲團，沒有想像中的簡陋與陰森，只有幾分意料之中的清冷，在空氣裡流淌的，不是生死未卜驚惶失措的苟延殘喘，而是官場失意惆悵無奈的唏噓歎息。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3KZhhCO9L
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhodZVaVgG
這一路走來，吳省身在囚室之後見到了一個又一個鬢角霜白面容憔悴的臉孔，踡曲在由鐵窗口撒落的午后斜陽裡，目光炯炯的盯著自己，眼神裡有著毫不掩飾的欣賞與好奇。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x7HetK0Mk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZnpZFHBtQ
「年輕有為！」甚至有個牛山濯濯的囚犯直接自鐵柵後伸出大拇指給了吳省身一個莫名奇妙的稱許。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj7Lw7GH3X
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4uuMJXwJK
「那是咱們的僉都御史※1大周老爺…」領頭的獄卒頭子略顯尷尬，語帶侷促地說：「大周老爺為人最是率直，不飾好惡，在他老人家看來，只要是進了咱們詔獄的…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoKeOJTvln
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHGutdCaUF
「十成十就是個忠君愛國的正人君子。」獄卒頭子乾巴巴的笑著道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJCNwlK25
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtf8iY1Oj
「理解！理解！」吳省身也是笑著點頭，敵人的敵人就是朋友，中國士大夫沒有邏輯的思維千古不移。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa15FuihEd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLwGnjcJ4f
聯金滅遼、聯蒙滅金…敵人還是敵人，沒有朋友仍舊沒有朋友…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9iOhANjo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iz9NeE6wi
看著那隻伸出牢門的友善的手，吳省身衷心為它的主人感到悲哀。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt4Q9s9mbd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MLiB3Tpm
來到牢門前，押解吳省身的兩名力士小心翼翼地解下他腕上的鐐銬，恭敬有禮的將他請進了牢房，領頭的獄卒頭子臨走前還好聲好氣的說道：「燭火燧石等會兒差人送上，不知公子還有何吩咐？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix5RGS6kZC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj5H9fajCm
「折騰了一下午，口有點乾了。」眼見獄卒頭子始終一副畢恭畢敬的樣子，吳省身也就老實不客氣的吩咐了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfnj1FV4zl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSwJypQTo
「這倒是小的疏忽了，等會兒一併送上…」獄卒頭子哈著腰，謙卑的退了下去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwHzeRPobr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHH81IOXMo
看著獄卒頭子唯唯諾諾的樣子，吳省身懸著了一顆心總算是定了下來，背靠著磚砌的隔間牆緩緩的滑坐在地上，抬頭望向鐵窗外的暮色，幽幽的歎了口氣，回想起今天下午…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidgbK0J9QC

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiA9tl9du0
「緹騎偵兇，閒人走避！」錦衣衛的無冕之王，大內第一女密探凌衣，就這麼大咧咧的在南薰坊的大街口上，意氣風發的喊出官方口號，在她高昂著下巴，投向吳省身的眼光裡，有四分的驕恣，三分的快意，同時也潛藏了二分的愧疚和一分說不清道不明的憂慮。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3kZjemrX8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GK0nNASN
其實早在錦衣衛踏上街頭那一刻起，道路兩側的過往行人唯恐惹禍上身，早已紛紛走避，凌衣一行尚未走到吳省身跟前，整條街道便已冷冷清清，連個暗中窺探的人都沒有，在對上真正令人恐懼的國家特務時，老百姓連火場圍觀看熱鬧的那股悍勇勁兒都會消失的一乾二淨。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM6yVAU5No
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DrqDLEZcB
「至於嘛！這麼驚擾街坊鄰居？」吳省身好氣又好笑的在嘴裡咕噥著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJPHKdul5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiSoRNYLTM
「大膽欽差要犯！見本督到來…」對上吳省身帶著調侃的視線，凌衣的眼神閃爍，略帶心虛的飄了開去，有些外強中乾的說道：「還不乖乖束手就擒！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqCo3n32z
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbwo1d8eIt
語音方落，凌衣身後的兩個錦衣衛力士※2迫不及待的齊步邁出，手上的枷號便要朝著吳省身頭上罩落。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0McpE0nqT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASAdhDBkG
「不得無禮！」敗帛朽革般的低沉腔調，夾帶著一絲金鐵交嗚的顫動嗓音，自凌衣身後的高大身影口中響起。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZSGnTUw7C
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sCNE1rFpR
「老夫駱思恭，錦衣衛指揮使…」說話的是一個雙鬢斑白，鬚眉戟張，有著一張國字臉，相貌堂堂不怒威的嚴肅老人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAssaFJNg4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur4m8sf2Yn
啊啊～這就是笨蛋兄妹的家長嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZPhMujd9J
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IjyaudUiu
就在吳省身正要開始暗中腹誹的當下，只見駱思恭動作僵硬而動作俐落地跨出一步，轉瞬來到他的面前，魁梧的身材擋住午后的陽光，將吳省身籠罩在陰影裡，一隻與粗壯身材格格不入的乾癟手掌輕輕搭在吳省身的肩上，死板的臉上硬是擠出生硬的笑容，低聲說道：49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMW384vn7u

「有勞公子移駕鎮撫司一敍…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zXs77Wl2e

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanT7P0fMmi
「公子…你的茶？」獄卒頭子的叫喊，打斷了吳省身的思緒。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bk1XpaO1H
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8YyIPoyMD
「有勞了。」接過獄卒頭子遞過來的一筒茶水、半截蠟燭和一方燧石，吳省身迫不及待的抿了一口，見獄卒頭子正要離去，連忙叫道：「誒～這位大哥！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0M4QNjD9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBElVFjlQ7n
「公子還有何吩咐？」獄卒頭子停下腳步，回過身來納悶的看著吳省身。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvvtelRN8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG4ws9nfs0
「麻煩你這麼多…」正所謂閻王好見，小鬼難纏，縣官不如現管，打點好關係總不會有錯，吳省身刻意擺出一副自來熟的模樣道：「還不知道你的大名是？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4EK0j3mab
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5fdyuzqh
「下官錦衣衛指揮同知※3崔應元，承蒙道上的兄弟不嫌棄，喊我一聲鐵手玄彪。」獄卒頭子報上家門，語氣中隱隱有些得意。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXMsqVPFo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4stPtNSPX
誒？那不就是那本書裡面寫的…魏忠賢手底下的走狗「五彪」之一？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zF9PSIjs8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB94yVxYQmE
吳省身萬萬沒料想到，眼前這個貌不驚人的精瘦漢子，竟然會是天啟英雄榜上有所記載的大奸大惡之徒，魏忠賢手下殺人不眨眼、助紂為虐的「五虎」「五彪」中的十大惡棍之一。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecJHFzbtr1
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvA6FqZnKr
「呃…崔大哥你這來頭不也挺大的嘛？」收起小覻之意，吳省身心下暗自提防，不無諂媚的笑道：「怎麼…這麼紆尊降貴來著？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlABUw8Tnv
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCHhknQvRi
「兄弟你真是說笑…」崔應元搖搖頭說道：「這能進詔獄裡來的，哪一個不是大有來頭？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiN7otxnQh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnCpYwV7pj
「像剛剛那個大周老爺，進來前可是江蘇、松江的巡撫大臣，我朝的封疆大吏，這要是讓他再放出去，嘖！嘖！嘖！那還不飛黃騰達位極人臣？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXVkffI5Kz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRbngEVDv
「還有他鄰房的小周老爺蓼洲先生，想當初為了擒他，錦衣衛折損了多少弟兄，才從數萬亂民之中將他帶回京城…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsSPSRmOYM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BK2WZiF42
從不同的立場看事，結果就會截然不同…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsj6EHniC0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPtHFly19x
那邊崔應元一邊說著，一邊掰著手指，竟介紹起這群英薈萃、卧虎藏龍的詔獄來了，最後…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9xk5wCLB
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF03Y7HGu0j
「別的不說，光說你隔壁那位…」崔應元揚揚眉頭，意有所指的說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP8YwOj5Pt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDLMa5SHHD
「東林聯盟副盟主，銀筆鐵骨黃真長，還是當朝御史…」崔應元靠上前來，壓低了聲音悄聲道：「捏死我，就跟捻死螞蟻似的…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimEmlL41f4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKTuIqi2w7
呃…就這音量，隔壁除非聾了才會沒聽見。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9KhVVmOD4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWq5iMRmO6
「算你小子懂事…」果不其然的，一個蒼老而懶洋洋的聲音響起：「老夫自是不會為難你，不過晚上的菜飯你得給我多上隻雞腿。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9QlEzLWBi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47rPpnKLbn
原來…這個是拐著彎兒在拍馬屁，而那個是…逮著機會在勒索？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDjgJC3AYR
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq0xLE6xBI
「您老這是說笑了…」崔應元面帶難色的回道：「老鶴說了，你這剛熬完刑的身子，得先吃上兩天清粥養養。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFQhufEf1P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRsW8bzbLy
「啐！就那雜毛庸醫說的話能作準嗎？」能聽見隔壁房裡，人躺在草席上翻身的唏嗦聲，而蒼老疲懶的聲音再度傳來：「鄰房小子你也別淨聽他瞎說，讓他這一副謙良恭順的樣子給矇了…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sY3ZKI6hj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ZEotU2IV
「他這獠牙利爪遲早要露出來，將人撕個粉身碎骨的。」老人的聲音裡，有一種洞燭人心世態炎涼的寥落。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlNkiVvS6h
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JodJ9VPr
「我們兄弟幾個也是無可奈何啊～」崔應元歎了口氣退了開去，漸行漸遠的身影逐漸隱沒在走道的陰暗裡，只留下悠悠的聲音：「一切都是聖意…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDyeiXHc0q

「君要臣死，臣非死不可…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn7JMksWfh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuVWJdTqpT
看著消失在黑暗中的崔應元，吳省身想起南雷劍客黃太沖託他辨的事，不過雖然黃真長人就在隔壁，吳省身卻突然沒了說話的興緻，他想起進詔獄前，錦衣衛指揮使駱思恭老爺子跟他說的話…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxLEsYJiGH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF5npSHROX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bs47bi1CI
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUufG8IES0l
在緩慢行進的馬車上，兩側的車窗被厚重的窗簾嚴實地覆蓋著，在幽暗的車廂裡，方纔趾高氣昂的凌衣，像在就像隻鵪鶉一樣，乖乖的縮在駱思恭的身側，屏氣凝神不敢稍動，老人身後的陰影，在車廂搖晃的燭光下顯得格外龐大，褐黃色的飛魚服彷彿正在滲出濃重的血腥味。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1EEqxmhl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqwLvEXNFz
「吳公子此次造訪鎮撫司，想當然爾是有驚有險…」駱思恭低沉的嗓音在空中快速地消散的無影無蹤，而聲音中那股金鐵交嗚般的震動卻在車廂內迴盪不已。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3LhbtW4u
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDLiiqJPM0
「只不過有些事，還是希望公子多加提防…」駱思恭僵硬的表情底下，一雙流露著複雜情緒的睛珠盯著吳省身，不容置疑的緩聲說道：「這打壓東林聯盟，乃是萬曆皇的遺願，更是當今聖上的旨意…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6rIRXmPL2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohCs2UEwQI
還以為老人家好意提醒自己不要捲進黨爭裡，沒想到老頭子接下來這句話讓吳省身倒抽了一口冷氣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18mMqEdauZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF5CnXAKMl
「事涉黨爭，吾皇聖裁，我輩錦衣衛不容置喙，但若是公子，也許尚有可為…」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbCpDFjic9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhm0I1dTv
上一刻，吳省身還在思索這駱思恭老爺子劍眉戟張，不怒自威的風範，與那錦衣衛千戶駱養性疲懶率性的調調相去甚遠，莫非是…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4biGyfhj2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dfuRVO98
不待他腹誹完畢，在下一刻，聽到駱思恭的這番話時，吳省身頓時明白了…49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalgwlYyyR
