大明曆‧天啟六年五月廿四日‧北鎮撫司詔獄‧酉時47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMYFp2BSD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uK9jCM0LV
這就是詔獄？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJyZdixoCJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx06vGwyio
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmSWvbyicj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe12N0g5yFH
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfi6LYCjh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vDSr94Zrg
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGhlthCyQh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7huqnfoZz
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4jSwsWwU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPAtb3LNBC
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RKmmaKCyJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJgyBN0yj
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8vfjy17a
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd2nzoxj16
聯金滅遼、聯蒙滅金…敵人還是敵人，沒有朋友仍舊沒有朋友…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clNtTogUX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPIIkX2TYa
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cn6ZXuwhv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkIY7cRwtL
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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3AcMVaPO9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSLnYLkthB
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWIT3UKAo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4s7hf2r4Q
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JmrH7Map
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoakkSeoNZY
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2DDkSFLX

「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaREqB8nso
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK3Mm1WdpU
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K2o9OnSu1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ceLCPTZi
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2khpmeDL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gwb4G0syu
「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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBF9miZfi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxMkR4Kejn
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r4wD9cDBK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GJKQ53Pk
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7R8rJccXv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYXEuANHep
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmu85fYbiN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEUnMm7Zz5
啊啊～這就是笨蛋兄妹的家長嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv93sOx3Cfh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEvPKKOV3
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：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrHwPuTWts

「公子…你的茶？」獄卒頭子的叫喊，打斷了吳省身的思緒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd21jopTEK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm8ZHBstIp
「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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH9ahkEgHs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaFwcZVCTz
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQWuQD6j6O
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJowSzNdd4U
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy5l5hl0Te
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg5wLV9Reg
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEbQeZ4r4
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7C4tHmOIg
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hw7Ni3X9i
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePfT1671by
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aGIf9qCX8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZpp7dHbbQ
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpGJjHQqI1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcFwrOW4M
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLulTI24T
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyjzhCh720
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82OkHkMvgQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilN4P8Xxb2
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5AKFSnWZq
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sLt95gFm
從不同的立場看事，結果就會截然不同…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHU1x3Z5f
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wkCgZuDVu
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SDwD7FJnl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6viOpklsjq
「別的不說，光說你隔壁那位…」崔應元揚揚眉頭，意有所指的說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlX2Xd1sRX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVQAruH7d5
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjAL705ttp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbKRdI5faX
呃…就這音量，隔壁除非聾了才會沒聽見。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8T3IlxqsL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV47Gc7MGA
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAMWsZExfP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusYovGJ27b
原來…這個是拐著彎兒在拍馬屁，而那個是…逮著機會在勒索？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND7SLN5SAM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMngJPfonv
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXcgtTZv0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEicp6iiG
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mtr2chiAE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOwK1MdUMJ
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX3zfgYlyh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D3v45Ilnj
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a8wV9j935

「君要臣死，臣非死不可…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGpQcuWUQj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQummpvGyy
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwPo47CAL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonsNeEiaz8

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNoKCNOJpo
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOMYB1CTbc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G00Eal2Pm
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aoMMcBwC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2qM02NDWZ
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFQYk0kmP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSRKEEXgb
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfeZ2e1PSX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIWuyUPzfb
「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…」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWygNjVsgc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPsSOu6QkZ
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9HKEgFtPU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeRdvFwr7N
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLC6DrAKiU
