Even though he was tied up strongly, Zhou Yanru still struggled to the death in pain.

Xu Xianchun saw a pleading look in Zhou Yanru's eyes, but he ignored it, just took a small packet of green salt from the table, and poured it straight into Zhou Yanru's left hand, which no longer had a little good skin.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru's painful head was bruised, his arms were stiffly straightened, and his skinless left and right hands were all like chicken feet because of his exertion, Xu Xianchun showed a hideous smile and said to Zhou Yanru: "Old Zhou Ge, does it hurt?" ”

Immediately took some water and poured it on Zhou Yanru's left hand, but it washed off some of the salt on it.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru's expression was slightly softened, but he kept panting, Xu Xianchun asked again: "Elder Zhou Ge, this is just the beginning." There's a lot more to come. ”

When Zhou Yanru heard this, he began to struggle non-stop, bent on leaving this ghost place. After struggling to no avail, looking at Xu Xianchun's eyes, all the vicious resentment was gone, and all that was left was begging, like a little beast before death, and his mouth kept whining.

Seeing this, Xu Xianchun asked with a smile: "Is Elder Zhou Ge willing to recruit?" ”

When Zhou Yanru heard this, the mad dog nodded, indicating that he was willing to cooperate.

Xu Xianchun took out the handkerchief stuffed in Zhou Yanru's mouth, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't you have been so cooperative?" You say you have to pretend to be a tough guy? Haven't you been sinned? ”

Zhou Yanru ignored Xu Xianchun's sarcasm, just breathed in the foul air in the edict, and after a while, he said to Xu Xianchun: "You ask." The old man knows everything, and just wants to give the old man a good time. ”

Xu Xianchun sat back at the table, took away the pen and ink, and asked, "When Chen Renzhong poisoned him today, who was responsible?" And how did you bring poison into the palace in the middle? ”

Zhou Yanru was also single, and happily confessed: "It was the old man who signaled it." The poison was brought into the palace, thanks to the Jinyi Wei Zuo Dadu Governor Luo. ”

When Xu Xianchun and the three of them heard this, they secretly scolded in their hearts! The more this Nima is implicated, the more widely it is implicated!

Xu Xianchun then asked: "That private voyeur palace ban and collusion with people inside and outside is also Lord Luo?" ”

Zhou Yanru said: "Not bad. When the emperor tossed cement in the harem, a confidant of Lord Luo reported it to him, and the old man and others later learned the news. ”

Although he was shocked, Xu Xianchun continued to ask: "What about the prisoners of the country?" ”

Zhou Yanru said: "The old man only knows that the prisoner's surname is Wang, and the rest is arranged by the squire of the military department, Lord Hou Suihou, and the old man does not know." ”

When Xu Xianchun heard this, the pen in his hand did not pause, but he truthfully recorded every word and every sentence that Zhou Yanru said. Then, he rushed out the most critical question: "Who instigated the poisoning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Daxing?" ”

Zhou Yanru gasped for a while before saying, "The old man only knows a little about this matter. For the specific inside story, you should still ask Lord Huo Weihua Huo. ”

Xu Xianchun said: "Huo Weihua, naturally I will interrogate, if there is any discrepancy in your confession, both of you will have to be punished even more severely than just now." Elder Zhou Ge, tell me everything you know. ”

Zhou Yanru smiled miserably and said, "That's it, that's it."

The executor of Emperor Daxing's poisoning was Lord Huo Weihua Huo.

Emperor Daxing favored the eunuchs and suppressed the Donglin party, which is okay.

It's just that he shouldn't have wanted to collect business taxes. Those wealthy merchants in the south and Xuanda were originally profit-oriented, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to transfer the merchant taxes to their heads, so it is not surprising that they lost their lives. ”

Xu Xianchun was curious and asked, "Even if these businessmen are rich, how can they communicate with the forbidden China?" ”

Zhou Yanru laughed out loud, and when he was almost out of breath with laughter, he said, "Is it okay to have money?" Money can make ghosts grind, Lord Xu.

Those wealthy businessmen first wooed Zhou, Lord Lang Hou of the Ministry of War, Chen Renzhong, the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital, and then pulled Luo Yangxing, the governor of Jinyi and Wei, into the water.

As for the eunuchs in the palace, a group of eggless goods with milk and mothers, under the coercion of temptation, they had to cooperate with the secret tricks and feet, so that Emperor Daxing fell into the water.

The rest of the matter, I think you Xu also know. ”

Without waiting for Xu Xianchun to speak, Zhou Yanru took it upon himself: "After Emperor Daxing fell into the water, Huo Weihua offered Linglu Drink as a eunuch. Soon the emperor died.

After that, it was not only because of the edict of Emperor Daxing, but also because of the fact that the current saint was in the palace to give preferential treatment to my Donglin party, and there was quite a generation of Ming monarch potential, because the court supported the current emperor to ascend the throne and call the emperor. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yanru actually cried out loud, and said hatefully: "I hate Chongzhen's child and hide it from me!" As soon as he ascended the throne, he favored the eunuchs and alienated my generation of righteous men and gentlemen. What kind of foolish people's edict to play will never be given, and the power of the great victory to build slaves, in a vain attempt to collect commercial taxes and compete with the people for profit, what does this Ming Jun do? It's just a pity that we were blind at the beginning, and we never knew the true face of the faint king! ”

Hearing Zhou Yanru's mouth, he didn't wait for Xu Xianchun to move, but Cao Huachun walked over first, picked up the leather whip on the table of torture tools, and whipped it at Zhou Yanru, and scolded angrily: "You dare to slander the emperor!" Let's kill you a dog without a father! ”

Seeing that Zhou Yanru was pumped and screamed again and again, Tian Ergeng stepped forward and grabbed Cao Huachun and said, "Father-in-law Cao will be angry for the time being. ”

Xu Xianchun continued: "Lord Zhou should save effort and say less about what should not be said, otherwise, we will not be able to control Cao Dugong." ”

Then, he asked: "As you said, those wealthy businessmen are bold and reckless, but they are just wealthy businessmen, and they can't contact you Zhou Ge Lao and Luo Dadudu, right?" ”

Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "Just a businessman, naturally not. But what if you add Qian Yiqian, Lord Qian? Don't forget, although Lord Qian is the leader of my Donglin, but he is idle at home, if there are no these wealthy businessmen, how many times can he afford to go to the gold cave by the Qinhuai River?

What's more, it's that Lord Qian doesn't have enough weight, so what about Ye Ge Lao?

Why does Ye Ge Lao oppose commercial taxation and why does he oppose the opening of the sea, you really don't know?

It's not that I don't know, but I don't dare to poke the hornet's nest in the south of the Yangtze River, right? Now that there are Jiannu outside, under the erosion of the guard, if the land south of the Yangtze River is reversed, is this Ming still the Ming Dynasty? ”

Hearing Zhou Yanru suddenly say so much of the inside story, Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng and Cao Huachun were bluffed into looking at each other. Although it was now close to the cold winter season, the three of them were scared into a cold sweat.

After some final discussion, the three decided to enter the palace together and handed over Zhou Yanru's confession to Emperor Chongzhen word for word.
