Chapter 364: Torture

Jiang Yi's confession and the list of shares were placed on the kang table beside Zhou Heng.

"This person is a talent, and in just a few days, so many people have joined the shares." Zhou Heng said appreciatively: "It's a pity that I followed the wrong person." ”

Cui Keyin rolled her eyes, needless to say, she hated Jiang Yi to the core, and pretended to be generous, feeling sorry for him.

Zhou Heng lightly opened his thin lips and said, "Let him surrender." ”

Yuanshan lowered his hand and responded: "Yes." "Go and handle it.

Naturally, the money raised was put into the treasury. Those Beijing officials who either didn't know about it, or wanted to speculate and get a wife, were found by Zhou Heng for a reason, or demoted to an official, and the name was released, and so on.

The situation in Jingzhong, Zhou Kang, who had just arrived at Yanshi, used cold water to make himself sick, thought he knew it well. He didn't want to tear his face with Zhou Heng, once he tore his face, he couldn't take the opportunity of the banquet to secretly poison him. But Ren Manjiang took matters into his own hands and stabbed Jiang, making him so angry that he almost vomited blood. He has always wondered why Ren Manjiang wanted to attack the Jiang family, is he afraid that others will not know that he is going to rebel?

Now that he has torn his face, what will Zhou Heng do to him after he arrives in Beijing? He has been speculating whether Zhou Heng will take this opportunity to get rid of him, or will he pretend to be a brother and a friend? No, the rumors of him assassinating the emperor are rampant, but I am afraid that Zhou Heng will take this opportunity to kill him and never suffer in the future.

The more Zhou Kang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and then he was afraid. Lu Guohua is right, you can't go to the capital, if you go to the capital, there will be no way to live.

Thinking of his dignified second prince, not only did he fail to succeed to the throne. also fell into the fate of being escorted to Beijing, and he was indignant.

In fact, Zhou Heng's attitude was very gentle, and he only ordered him to enter Beijing for an audience, and did not escort him into Beijing for interrogation, let alone take it immediately. Zhou Kang was bent on rebellion, and as soon as there was a stir, he thought that Zhou Heng was going to behead him. In the end, it's his weak heart.

Lu Guohua stayed in Luoyang to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the morale of the army, and it was another staff member who accompanied him to Beijing. His name is Qu Tian. He summoned Qu Tian to go over and discuss.

Qu Tian has defected to Zhou Kang for four or five years. First there was Mr. Zheng, and then there was Lu Guohua, who has not been able to become a leading figure in the staff. In order to get ahead, every time I deliberate. He was all about giving advice. Mr. Zheng is highly valued by Zhou Kang. Crushing a group of colleagues. Not worried about the restless elements Qu Tian trying to find a way to come forward.

Lu Guohua is different, he is over sixty years old, and it is difficult to wait until Mr. Zheng dies. to get ahead. Zhou Kang was not as obedient to him as he was to Mr. Zheng, so he was deeply disgusted with Qu Tian and specially arranged for him to accompany Zhou Kang to Beijing.

This is an honorable mission, but it is also a dangerous one, and it is very likely that there will be no return. Of course, if Zhou Zhoukang succeeds, Qu Tianshui will rise, and Lu Guohua will not be afraid. He guarded the base camp, which in itself was a great achievement.

Qu Tian is a staff member, how can he not see these twists and turns? But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Seeing Zhou Kang like this, he changed his mind and just wanted to run away quickly, not to go to the capital to make this trip to the muddy waters.

As soon as Zhou Kang mentioned the dangers he might encounter after entering Beijing, Qu Tian immediately said: "Lord, the capital is in crisis, it is better to go back." ”

"Return?" Zhou Kang's brain circuit obviously couldn't keep up with Qu Tian's rhythm, and said, "Where to go?" ”

Qu Tiandao: "Although the holy decree only says to enter Beijing for an audience, and the wording is not harsh, but our emperor, is used to pretending to be crazy and stupid, who knows what idea he has in his stomach?" ”

The sentence "I am used to pretending to be crazy and stupid" made Zhou Kang nod again and again, thinking it was true. Zhou Heng just knows how to pretend, otherwise how could he be deceived and use Mr. Zheng's strategy to get Zhou Heng to the capital? In the end, Mr. Zheng died at the hands of Zhou Heng. Think of the only thing you know in life. Zhou Kang's eyes turned red.

Qu Tian has been paying close attention to Zhou Kang's expression, and when he saw that his eyes were red, he was overjoyed, as long as Zhou Kang moved. So he tried even harder to persuade until Zhou Kang was scared to the point of turning pale.

Zhou Heng, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that he had become a demon in Qu Tian's mouth, he and Cui Keyin finished dinner, played with Lele for a while, and then went to the Jinshen Palace to deal with government affairs.

The implementation of the new law has been well received by the people, but there has been a lot of resistance in the ranks of the bureaucracy, especially in the case of punishing corruption. Since the day of implementation, as many as 40 or 50 officials have been found to be corrupt in the capital alone. After these people were imprisoned, their families searched for connections and found a way out, trying to get them out.

This is a major matter related to the interests of the entire bureaucratic class, and the officials share the same hatred and hatred, and the twists and turns almost drown Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng not only did not calm down, but he made a move.

Soon, Ren Qiu, a Fujian Qing official who had embezzled 1,351 taels of silver, was skinned, filled with straw, and placed at the entrance of the yamen to set an example.

As soon as this move came out, the court was in an uproar. This kind of skinning of corrupt officials has not been seen for more than 100 years. Everyone knows that when the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu did this, but can it be the same as what he saw in the history books?

At the time of the execution, thousands of people were empty, people rushed to witness it, and some people set off firecrackers. However, all the officials were in danger, and on the day of the execution, more than half of the officials called in sick.

Zhou Heng is under tremendous pressure.

Cui Keyin was worried that the ministers would provoke him and the consequences would be unimaginable, so he prepared his favorite red robe and went to the palace to see him.

The door of the main hall was closed, and he stood at the door listlessly, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and when he saw that Cui Keyin was coming, he immediately got up, saluted quickly, and said, "See Niangniang." ”

Cui Keyin nodded and said, "No courtesy." Tell me about it. ”

Huanxi's smiling face turned into a bitter gourd face again, and said, "Niangniang, the emperor doesn't let the servants in." ”

Cui Keyin didn't say anything more, went straight past him, pushed open the door of the hall, and walked in.

Huanxi knew Cui Keyin's position in Zhou Heng's heart, and did not stop it, only bluffed, and shouted in the back: "Niangniang, you can't go in, Niangniang-"

Cui Keyin paid attention to him, and after entering, he closed the door casually.

Zhou Heng heard the cry of joy and raised his head from the pile of songs.

Still correcting the folds? Cui Keyin was surprised, walked to Zhou Heng and sat down, and said, "Why did the emperor lock himself in the house?" ”

Zhou Heng put down the fold and said, "Zilan told you all the bad things outside, right?" I don't know if I was right or wrong to hand over the spy to you. ”

Anything that happens in Beijing must be reported to the authorities. Cui Keyin learned for the first time that he expected it.

Cui Keyin said: "Does the emperor regret it?" But it was too late. ”

Zhou Heng leaned on the pile of folds and said lazily: "I dare to do it, how can I regret it?" It's just that you know more secrets, and you feel that this world is not very beautiful, but do you regret it? ”

Counter to her army? Cui Keyin smiled and said, "The emperor is in a good mood." ”

It's not that everyone thinks she's going to be angry, and it's not that she's hit as she thinks. (To be continued.) )
