Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Five Righteous Men Secretly Meeting Before Execution
Back in the camp, Wang Zhizheng only felt that his legs were filled with lead, and his mood was heavy. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info remembering the five righteous people's insults and disdainful expressions to him, he felt particularly aggrieved. I said in my heart: "It's too platinum, this human world is too complicated!" I feel more and more that this task you have given me is really difficult!
When he returned to the camp, he ordered everyone to disappear, and then hid alone in the tent and sullen.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong are now guarding outside the tent.
Thinking about it, Wang Zhizheng felt that he still had to know the five righteous people. He didn't want the Five Righteous Warriors to die with prejudice and regret against him. After thinking about it, he called Zhou Gong over.
Zhou Gong entered the camp tent and greeted him with a smile: "Young Master, do you have any tasks?" Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Tonight I will go to the prison to visit Yan Peiwei and the five of them, you accompany me!" Zhou Gong hurriedly objected: "Young master, don't you want it, right? Our task is to kill them, go to the prison, if Mao Yilu hears the conversation between you and Yan Peiwei and the five of them, it will be over!" Wang Zhizheng patted him on the back of the head: "I said Xiaoshovel, what do I want you to do?" Lao Tzu just let you go to the prison and make arrangements, Xiao Sweep the two of you to the prison, make up an excuse, and say that I will go to interrogate them secretly to see if I can deceive the person in charge behind the rebel from their mouths! Of course, when the time comes, you will let Xiao Sweep call them away from the outer prison! Wang Zhizheng kicked over: "What! If you go down to earth, you won't listen to my arrangement?" Be careful that Lao Tzu will go to heaven to clean you up!" Zhou Gong grinned: "Oh, young master, how dare I do this!"
That night, Zhou Cheng first went to the prison and called away a few cell heads, saying that Xiao Chitose was going to interrogate five people secretly. Several cell bosses knew that even the governor had been whipped by Wang Zhizheng, so how dare they do anything, they all obediently set up a table of wine and food outside the cell door to entertain Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Gong followed behind Wang Zhizheng, and the two came to the death row where Yan Peiwei was imprisoned. After opening the prison door, Yan Peiwei saw that there was no one else, and suddenly knelt down under Wang Zhizheng and said, "I will entrust Zhaoxue to Lord Wang after I die!" Wang Zhizheng was suddenly surprised, calmed down, and asked softly: "Mr. Yan, do you all know?" Yan Peiwei nodded: "It was Miss Liu who told us, she was afraid that the five of us would not be able to turn a blind eye after we died, so she told us that you are a close confidant of the prince of Xin, and you have been working hard to eradicate Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party!" Wang Zhizheng nodded, waved his hand, Zhou Gong hurriedly put the prepared wine and food on the table, Wang Zhizheng nodded, filled the five people with wine, and then said emotionally: "I don't have the ability to save you, I really don't want to go." I would like to toast you with a glass of wine today, and see you off!" The five of them hurriedly returned to Wang Zhizheng.
Yang Nianru, one of the five people, drank the wine, smiled and said: "Lord Wang, you whipped Mao Yilu that day, which really made us admire, and the whole city of Suzhou praised you! I Yan Nianru toasted you with a glass!" After that, he gave Wang Zhizheng a full wine. Wang Zhizheng took the wine and drank it all. Then he suddenly stood up, took a step back, and knelt on the ground: "Wang Zhizheng is not talented, but he is confident that he can eradicate Wei Wei, return peace to the world, and return the innocence of the righteous people in the world!
The five of them bowed, and then stepped forward to support Wang Zhizheng.
Wang Zhizheng thought for a while and said, "If you have anything to explain to Wang, please pay for it." ”
Yan Peiwei said: "I am waiting for family affairs, Miss Liu has arranged them properly, and she has no worries. Miss Liu is a weak woman, but she is willing to shoulder justice, we can't help her, I hope that Lord Wang can secretly give her more care. ”
Wang Zhizheng listened to it, and said righteously: "Wang was deeply touched by Miss Liu, and was willing to devote all his energy to cooperate with Miss Liu to eradicate the traitor." ”
At this time, he suddenly heard Zhou Gong shouting at the door: "Stop! Who are you?!" Wang Zhizheng glanced at the five people: "It is estimated that someone is eavesdropping!" The five righteous men said anxiously: "We must catch the person who eavesdropped! Lord Wang, go quickly!" Wang Zhizheng gave a deep salute, and then quickly chased out.
I saw Zhou Gong chasing after him with a big knife, and there was a person dressed as a servant in front of him.
Wang Zhizheng hurriedly chased over to assist Zhou Gong.
The man ran out of the prison and suddenly jumped into the flowers. Zhou Gong was so anxious that he jumped in. Wang Zhizheng also jumped in.
Zhou Cheng was entertaining the cell bosses, not knowing what was going on inside.
Wang Zhizheng saw that the man gradually lost his strength under the chase between him and Zhou Gong, and Wang Zhizheng said to Zhou Gong: "Kill him quickly! Hurry up! He will shout!"
Zhou Gong picked up the big knife and threw it at the back of the man's heart. The sword flashed, and the man fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
Wang Zhizheng and Zhou Gong hurriedly ran over to look, only to see the big knife thrown by Zhou Gong piercing through the back of his heart, and he rolled his eyes on the spot and whimpered. Red blood was bubbling out on the ground.
Zhou Gong gasped and said, "It's so dangerous, he just hid in the cell door next door and eavesdropped, and after I found him, he ran wildly." I guess it was Mao Yilu who arranged it here, and he must have known that we were coming at night, and then sent someone to eavesdrop. Wang Zhizheng nodded and settled down: "You now cut off this person's head, and then throw the corpse into the flowers." Zhou Gong pulled the knife out of the man's corpse, stabbed it in the neck, cut off his head, and then carried his head and followed behind Wang Zhizheng. In the middle of the night, two people walked outside this inaccessible prison with a human head, which was very eerie and terrifying.
After entering the prison and returning to the room where the five people were held, Wang Zhizheng threw the man's head on the ground and said with a smile: "I was almost told by this thief!" The five people were relieved to see that the person had been killed. Wang Zhizheng pointed to the head and said, "Today, Wang Zhizheng will sacrifice this person's head to you. Within three years, I will sacrifice Wei Zhongxian's head to you!"
Then several people sped for a long time, and Wang Zhizheng let Zhou Gong carry his head and called Zhou Cheng to leave the prison together.
The next morning, Wang Zhizheng took Zhou Gong, Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Gong to put the head of the official in a wooden box. The three of them came to the governor's yamen together in a menacing manner.
When he arrived at the governor's yamen, Wang Zhizheng suddenly jumped up and grabbed Mao Yilu's collar, and rushed into the crown angrily: "Good you Mao Yilu, you dare to hold a grudge and send an assassin to murder this official late at night!"
Mao Yilu's face was puzzled: "I don't know why Lord Wang accused me of Mao Yilu's assassination!"
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand, Zhou Gong handed the wooden box to Mao Yilu, Mao Yilu opened the wooden box, and saw that the head of the official he sent to eavesdrop last night was actually in the wooden box, and his eyes were very scary.
Mao Yilu was frightened: "This ...... This...... This is the official of this official mansion, why, why did he die?" Wang Zhizheng said arrogantly, "I slaughtered him!" Zhou Gong, tell Master Mao what happened!"
Zhou Gong looked at Mao Yilu, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Master Mao, last night I was ordered to go into the heavenly prison with Xiao Chitose Ye to secretly interrogate the five rebels in Xia, because it was a secret trial, so I secretly monitored at the door, but this official actually hid in the next prison next door with a knife, fortunately I reacted quickly, pounced on him and snatched his knife, he ran away, and I chased after him with a knife! No matter how he shouted, he didn't listen, so he had to throw the knife out and assassinate him, and then cut off his head to restore his master's life!"
When Mao Yilu heard that they had actually executed the official because he saw him hiding, he immediately became furious: "Lord Wang! You have to give me an explanation! He is hiding at the door, what evidence do you have to prove that he is trying to kill you? He actually killed him directly!"
Wang Zhizheng was even more angry, patted the table and said: "He is squatting at the door with a knife, not to murder me, why is he hiding beside me alone with a knife in the middle of the night? Could it be that Master Mao sent him to eavesdrop on the content of my interrogation with five countercriminals?"
Wang Zhizheng is reasonable, Mao Yilu is speechless and doesn't know how to refute!
After a long while, Mao Yilu said: "Okay, since he is going to murder you, Lord Wang, then I will be killed according to the murder and report him!
Wang Zhizheng sneered and pointed to the gloomy head and said: "I just want to say one thing to Master Mao: Even if you are not satisfied with my Wang, you can sue me at the age of 9,000 or sue me at the emperor, why use this conspiracy to assassinate me? If I die in your mansion, do you think the 9,000-year-old will spare you?" Mao Yilu raised his hand and swore: "If Mao Yilu wants to assassinate you, the sky will not be able to strike and thunder and die! Okay?!"
Wang Zhizheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope that this official is a personal act! I don't want it to be arranged by your Lord Mao!"
Mao Yilu got this appalling bad news early in the morning, his heart was blocked and astringent, he didn't want to have anything to do with this Wang Zhizheng now, he just wanted to quickly cut down the five rebels and send this Wang Zhizheng back to the capital!
At this time, the official came over and asked for instructions: whether to escort the rebel to the vegetable market now. Mao Yilu waved his hand irritably: "Do you still need to ask? Immediately! Immediately! Hurry up, hurry up and kill!" Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "Hurry up and escort to the vegetable market!" Then he turned his head to Mao Yilu and said, "Then, Lord Mao, let's supervise and kill together?" Mao Yilu shook his hand: "It's still Lord Wang's dictatorship!" Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: " Suzhou Governor Kou Shenkou, as well as Master Mao, the two of you have made great contributions to this case, and I have already written a report to record the performance of the two of you in handling this matter one by one. With that, he handed the watch to Mao Yilu.
Mao Yilu looked at it, it was not good, on the surface he said that he had come up with the idea to help settle the case, but in fact he said that he had not done anything and was shirking responsibility! Mao Yilu thought to himself: It is nothing more than wanting to knock me on a sum of money before leaving! That's it! That's it! Count me Mao Yilu's bad luck, just feed him.
Mao Yilu smiled and said, "Lord Wang, I have been sleeping in Suzhou for the past few days, and I have spent so much effort on Mao's affairs. I have nothing else to give, so I will give two boxes of gold and silver, worth 100,000 taels of silver!"
The officials had already brought up the gifts they had prepared. Wang Zhizheng opened the box and saw that the gold and silver inside were soft and soft, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, Master Mao is really sensible!" After that, he picked up the prepared sheet and tore it in half with a wave of his hand, and then the two looked at each other and laughed. After laughing, Mao Yilu said: "You quickly send the gold and silver to Lord Wang's camp! In addition, Mao has arranged a stunning beauty to serve you tonight! I hope you will accept it with a smile." After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: "Okay, good, Lord Mao, I forgive you for the assassination of the officials, and I forgive you for not instigating it." Mao Yilu laughed and thought: What a worthless thing, two boxes of jewelry, and a beauty will send you away!
