The more Xu Xianchun listened, the more frightened he felt in his heart - Huo Weihua's status in the eunuch party was not low, after all, he was in the name of the secretary of the military department. But Cui Chengxiu also has the name of the secretary of the Ministry of War, but can the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party be the same?

Moreover, every time he targets the Donglin Party, this Huo Weihua is in the front, and has made great contributions to the Eunuch Party, but now he has become a national thief who killed the Emperor of the Apocalypse?

Xu Xianchun really wanted to arrest Huo Weihua now and interrogate him properly, and ask him why he wanted to poison the emperor. After all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse treated him Huo Weihua very well.

Fortunately, Xu Xianchun has not lost his mind. He's cleaning up this more complicated than he ever imagined. Then, after asking about the appearance and time of the person who gave Chen Renzhong the gift, he only ordered people to strictly guard Chen Renzhong's family and not to torture and execute. Then he picked up the confession he had recorded on the table and asked Chen Renzhong to sign and draw, and then hurried to the palace.

When Xu Xianchun arrived at the palace gate, he found that the palace gate had already been blocked by the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After finding someone to pass on Wang Chengen, it was a long time to toss it, and Xu Xianchun was able to see Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting in a daze in the imperial study. He felt that the world was full of deep malice towards him.

But Chongzhen didn't feel that he was wrong. I just don't want to be a dick, and I don't want the dignified Yanhuang Miao to drag a pig's tail all over the world, is this wrong?

At this time, when he saw Xu Xianchun coming in, he asked, "But did you confess?" ”

Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground with a "plop", put his head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Guozi Prison Supervisor Wang has not confessed. But Chen Renzhong has already recruited. ”

As he spoke, he took out the confession he was carrying in his arms, raised his hands above his head, and waited for Wang Chengen to take Xuan Cheng Chongzhen.

Chongzhen took the confession, but saw that Xu Xianchun still knelt on the ground, and didn't even dare to raise his head, presumably there was something terrible revealed in this confession, which made Xu Xianchun so afraid.

With curiosity, Chongzhen looked at the confession of the imperial physician Chen Renzhong, which was recorded by Xu Xianchun himself. It's just that before he finished reading it, Chongzhen was already angry, and said angrily: "Okay! Good! Good! Sure enough, all the centers are Geng, and they are all fucking good courtiers! ”

Seeing that Xu Xianchun was still kneeling on the ground, Chongzhen, who was angry, picked up the teacup on the desk and threw it over, looking at Xu Xianchun's head and bleeding, he still didn't dare to move, and said angrily: "Stand up!" Fun on your knees? I'm not the king of the scum, what are you afraid of?

Go, take down Zhou Yanru and Huo Weihua's whole family, and give me a good trial! Don't let anyone go! ”

Xu Xianchun hurriedly took the order and left. After returning to the prison, he gathered all the people and horses, and took the people separately with Tian Ergeng. Only this time, it was not as smooth as when Imperial Doctor Chen was arrested.

Tian Ergeng was not surprised when he arrested Zhou Yanru's family, Zhou Yanru accepted his fate very shamefully, let Jinyiwei take him away, and saw that the whole family was arrested together, and he was silent, neither begging for mercy nor scolding.

It's just that Xu Xianchun, who went to arrest Huo Weihua on the other hand, was disappointed. Huo Weihua was the only one left in the family, and his family was completely gone. Even the servants in the house were given good letters and sent away.

Seeing Xu Xianchun in person, Huo Weihua, who was sitting in the main hall of Huo Mansion, smiled miserably and said to Xu Xianchun: "Lord Xu, I hope that Lord Xu will reply to His Majesty and the nine thousand years old on behalf of Huo, so I said that Huo made a wrong step, a wrong step, and now I want to turn back, but it is night." Killing the emperor and nine thousand years old is for the sake of Huo Weihua's many years of contribution to the country, and he can let go of the old and young in Huo's family. ”

As soon as the sentence was finished, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Huo Weihua's mouth, indicating that he had already taken the poison.

Xu Xianchun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "Who instructed you?" Say! ”

Huo Weihua just laughed miserably, but he couldn't laugh out loud, and the drug in his abdomen made the liver and intestines like a knife.

Enduring the severe pain in his abdomen, Huo Weihua wiped the cold sweat from the pain on his forehead and said, "The emperor and the emperor of the apocalypse both want to collect money." As soon as the words fell, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he died.

Xu Xianchun secretly said unlucky, looking at Huo Weihua's wide-open eyes after his death, he no longer looked like before, sighed and beckoned to the captains of the brocade guards: "Carry him up and go back." ”

When he returned to the edict prison in Zhengyangmen, Xu Xianchun discussed with Tian Ergeng, "When we get to Zhou Yanru, it is no longer necessary for us to interrogate alone, so it is better to invite Cao Changgong to interrogate together." ”

As a result, Cao Huachun, who had not returned to the palace since he left the palace to arrest Chen Renzhong, was also found, and the three of them interrogated Zhou Yanru together.

Xu Xianchun first said what he said before to move Chen Renzhong, but he didn't want Zhou Yanru to just not speak, no matter how Xu Xianchun persuaded him, he just didn't speak.

Xu Xianchun was helpless, but he smiled and walked towards Zhou Yanru, who was tied to the torture rack.

Seeing this, Tian Ergeng said to Cao Huachun next to him: "I'm afraid that this dog day will make Zhou Yanru go crazy with anger." At this moment, Zhou Yanru might as well bite his tongue and commit suicide. ”

Cao Huachun stared at it and said: "Our family has slapped Dongchang, but because we have been waiting in the palace for most of the time, we have not seen the execution." It's time to take a good look today. ”

Xu Xianchun heard the conversation between the two behind him, and had the intention to show off, so he simply took a small pair of pliers from the torture table and walked to Zhou Yanru.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru still looked like a dead dog, Xu Xianchun didn't care, but just grabbed Zhou Yanru's left thumb and slowly clamped it down, only to hear the sound of "horn", and the thumb phalanx had been crushed. Zhou Yanru immediately screamed in pain, but his voice was deliberately lowered by himself.

Xu Xianchun ignored it, reached out and took out a handkerchief from his body and stuffed it into Zhou Yanru's mouth, and then said with a smile: "Elder Zhou Ge, don't call it." If you don't call it, Xu also admires you as a gentleman. As he spoke, he pinched another pair of pincers towards his index finger.

After the five fingers were pinched, Xu Xianchun said slowly: "Do you know why Xu doesn't want to ask you for a confession?"

Because before you, Chen Renzhong and Imperial Doctor Chen had already recruited. I asked you before, it was Xu who wanted to do the errand well, since you didn't want to say it, then don't say it, Xu Mou slowly concocted evidence. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yanru was in pain and only whined, but because his mouth was blocked, Xu Xianchun smiled and said: "You are a civil official in the old district of Zhou Ge, what kind of tough guy in the army are you?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up another iron brush, brushed off all the skin and flesh on Zhou Yanru's five fingers that were crushed, and said: "Xu is magnanimous, so I won't give you a washing with boiling water, let's just brush it." ”
