Listening to Xu Xianchun's words, Kong Shangsheng, the chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "But Yan Shenggong said in the letter that as long as I am willing to confess, he can keep my family." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun immediately laughed, the smile on his face was extremely sarcastic, and he said with disdain in his tone: "I really didn't expect that the dignified Confucian family's housekeeper would have such an innocent side. Don't talk about anything else, look at the charges on it, he said that he can save your family, do you believe it yourself? ”

"These cases have been handed over to me, and I will definitely give an explanation to Your Majesty. You know, now that Your Majesty is angry, rebelling and assassinating Your Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will give up? When Yan Shenggong said this, he just wanted you to confess your sins quickly. As for after you confess your sins, other things have nothing to do with you, and your family has nothing to do with you. ”

"It's just that I'm not like Yan Shenggong. He likes to deceive people, and we like to go straight to the point. After all, you're already here, and you can't get out, so it's not my business to take care of you? Torture you, and then ask you to sign and draw a charge, this is not very difficult for Jinyiwei, this is what we Jinyiwei did, and we have never missed a hand. ”

"I want you to die too, so don't be naïve and sign obediently. Hello, I'm good. ”

The chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion raised his head and looked at Xu Xianchun, and said angrily: "You are disregarding human life, you are colluding with each other!" I won't sign it, and I won't sign it if I die! ”

"Kill you? Won't kill you. Xu Xianchun stood up and said, "But I will knock you out, put your hand in your blood, put your handprint on this confession, and then you will sign and draw it." Once that is done, I will hand you in your confession. You have all the human and material evidence of colluding with the Wenxiang Sect to rebel, and now that you have your confession, everything will naturally be fine. The Yan Sheng Episcopal Association pleaded guilty, and the ministers of the court would protect him, and the matter was over. ”

"As for you, naturally, you will be beheaded along with your family. Don't worry, before I escort you out, I'll have someone break your throat so you can't say a word. After you go out, you can't even make a sound, and you don't have to think about shouting grievances or telling others about it, there is no hope. ”

Hearing Xu Xianchun say such things in a casual tone, the chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion glared angrily and said, "If you do such a thing, aren't you afraid of going to hell one day?" I won't let you go! ”

After hearing this, Xu Xianchun snorted and laughed.

"You're embarrassed to say that about me?" Xu Xianchun walked to the side of the great housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion, stretched out his hand and patted his face, and said, "Look at what you guys are doing." ”

"Natural disasters are inevitable, and people die from natural disasters, although their hearts hurt, but there is nothing they can do. For this reason, His Majesty has mobilized a large amount of food to help the victims, but what about the food now? It's all swallowed up by you and the partners of the rulers. Do you know how many people will die by doing so? How many families will be ruined and displaced? Do you care? ”

"To hell, haunted by evil spirits? If there really is a hell, you will be sent to the eighteen layers of hell, and you will never be able to turn over. If there are really evil spirits, you are surrounded by evil spirits now, and they want to eat you alive. Do you really think you're a good person? ”

"I'll just tell you this, people like you are innocent of death, and Ling Chi is not too much to execute. Think we're going too far now? What were you thinking when you did bad things to those people? Don't think it's too much? I, Xu Xianchun, am not a good person, and if one day I go to hell because of this incident, then I will suffer it. ”

The body of the great housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion trembled, and he looked at Xu Xianchun with a majestic face, and suddenly the whole person collapsed and collapsed directly to the ground.

He said in a trembling tone: "My family is innocent, they don't know anything, my lord, you can let them go." ”

When he said this, the chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion wanted to run forward, as if he was going to hug Xu Xianchun's thigh.

It's just that as soon as he climbed a few steps, the brocade guard behind him held him down.

Xu Xianchun walked to the side of the great housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion, squatted down to look at him, and said, "Want to save your family's life?" It's not that easy in this world. ”

"My lord, as long as I can save my family's life, what do you say I do?" Kong Shangsheng hurriedly said.

At this time, Kong Shangsheng was really panicked, if this crime was confirmed, his family would be finished, and he would definitely be beheaded all over the house, and there would be no suspense at all.

Just now he had already read Xu Xianchun's confession to himself, which was the same as what Xu Xianchun said, what he confessed was colluding with the White Lotus Sect to rebel, and at the same time assassinating His Majesty.

After admitting this crime, the number of heads in his own family is not enough to cut off. So you can't admit it, you must not recognize it!

As for the letter from Yan Shenggong, it is very clear that it is to confess his sins. Although Yan Shenggong said that he would keep his home, Kong Shangsheng is not stupid, after admitting such a crime, even if that person is Yan Shenggong, how can he keep his family?

The person surnamed Xu in front of him made it clear that he wanted to force himself and use his family to force himself, and it was impossible for him to let go of his family.

Kong Shangsheng is the chief steward of the Kong family, and he naturally knows a lot, he knows that Xu Xianchun just wants to force himself into a corner, so that he can be completely obedient.

As for how Xu Xianchun got the letter, Kong Shangsheng didn't want to think about it anymore. Kong Shangsheng is thinking about things now, and it's not even how he should live.

He knew he was going to die, but he wanted to keep his family, and he didn't want his family to die with him.

The door was full of beheading, cutting off children and grandchildren, Kong Shangsheng collapsed when he thought about it.

"Alright, get him up." Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

The brocade guards on both sides held Kong Shangsheng's arms, directly carried him to the stool and sat down, and then stood on both sides of his body, for fear that he would make any radical moves.

Xu Xianchun looked at Kong Shangsheng and said, "Then let's talk about it, tell me how you colluded with officials, tell me how you embezzled land, and tell me how you resold disaster relief food." Let's make all of this clear first. ”

"My lord, can I save my family's life if I say it?" With a little hope in his eyes, Kong Shangsheng looked at Xu Xianchun and asked.

"I don't know." Xu Xianchun shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing, this matter is too big, no one can call the shots." Your Majesty is in charge of everything, and what I say doesn't count. ”

"But one thing I can assure you of is that I will intercede for you. You explain everything clearly, and I will tell Your Majesty that you have made meritorious contributions. As for how Your Majesty punishes you, that's not up to me. I'm telling you this because I don't want to lie to you. I think you should also understand that this is not something I can call the shots, so there is no need to lie to you. ”

After listening to Xu Xianchun's words, Kong Shangsheng said with a wry smile: "My lord is really an honest person. If the adults had just said that they would save my life, I am afraid I would not have said anything. ”

Kong Shangsheng also knew in his heart that such a crime was definitely not something that Xu Xianchun could call the shots. If he says to keep himself or his family now, there is only one possibility, he is lying to himself. If the final result is all about beheading, then there is no need for me to say it, at least I can keep the Kong family, and there is no harm in carrying this side down.

However, Xu Xianchun's frank treatment made Kong Shangsheng feel a little more comfort, and at the same time a little more hope.

So he began to confess everything.

The paperwork on one side is also recorded quickly.

When everyone looked at Xu Xianchun, there was fear in their eyes.

Although he knows that this adult in his family is capable and notoriously ruthless, this kind of scheming and means is really chilling. His men were even more afraid of him.

Xu Xianchun didn't care.

If you want to do things beautifully, how can you do it without some means?

This time, things must be done beautifully, they must be complete, and they must not be out of place at all. So Xu Xianchun has exhausted all means, and it seems that the progress is going smoothly so far. Whether it was Yan Shenggong or Kong Shangsheng in front of him, he could not escape his calculations.

In fact, Xu Xianchun is also ready, if Yan Shenggong does not cooperate and does not write this letter to himself, then he will also cut into it from another angle. Now it's just that things are getting easier, and the results are coming out.

Kong Shangsheng was talking, Xu Xianchun listened carefully, interrupting him from time to time to ask about the details, and refused to let go of the slightest bit.

After Kong Shangsheng finished speaking, Xu Xianchun hurriedly asked him to sign and draw the pledge.

Looking at Kong Shangsheng's confession, Xu Xianchun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Next, let's talk about the matter with the Wenxiang Sect, this matter is the dead end." If you can't untie the knot, you're not going to be much better. ”

Sighing softly, Kong Shangsheng took a sip of the tea in front of him.

This is the treatment that only comes after he confesses, so that he can have saliva to drink.

Then Kong Shangsheng said: "Actually, we only know that they are the Smelling Fragrance Sect. We really don't know what they're going to rebel against. Their power is very large, and they are frantically gathering sect members, and in our eyes they are nothing more than to collect money. He has no money, we have food, so if they want to buy it, we will sell it, and for us, this is nothing more than a business. ”

"Don't talk about this, there were Japanese robbers who bought food before, and it wasn't that they didn't sell it, business is business, and it won't involve too many things. If it hadn't happened this time, we wouldn't have known that he was going to rebel. ”

When Kong Shangsheng said this, he glanced at Xu Xianchun and said, "Do you need me to change my confession?" Say that we colluded with the Smelling Fragrance Sect to rebel? Did you deliberately sell food to the Smelling Fragrance Sect? ”

Looking at Kong Shangsheng, Xu Xianchun waved his hand and said, "Not for the time being." Okay, let's go down and rest first, I'll have someone take good care of you, and I'll also find Lang Zhong to give it to you. ”
