Zhou Jianzong was imprisoned and Luo Sigong died, and the news reached the palace almost at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not to mention how the emperor would chase the reward, Zhu Xu was stunned.

This old fox has nothing to do with it, and it can be regarded as the end of his life.

Zhu Xu stood in front of the palace gate, looked at the sunset with his hands behind his back, and said, "I heard that Wei Zhongxian has stuffed a lot of people into Jinyi Guards recently?" ”

Cao Wenzhao, who was behind him, hurriedly said: "It's Your Highness, Zhang Yanyao's brothers have shade seals, and Wei Zhongxian's nephews and nephews have also been reactivated, but they are very low-key." ”

Zhu Xu squinted, Wei Zhongxian must have known that Jinyiwei's Luo Yangxing was his, and he dared to be such a blatant stopper, in addition to the need to pacify the prison of the prison, I am afraid he also wanted to tell Zhu Xu that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and he Wei Zhongxian will not be unfavorable to His Royal Highness King Hui.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and said: "Send a message to Luo Yangxing, Tian Ergeng's handle must be firmly grasped, once he has a different heart, he will be executed directly!" ”

Cao Wenzhao was stunned, this Tian Ergeng has no reputation, and there are no bad deeds, with the character of His Royal Highness King Hui who does not like to kill, why would he say such cruel words as 'direct execution'?

However, he still nodded and said, "It's Your Highness." ”

Zhou Jianzong has a lot of prestige in the Yanguan family, and after being imprisoned several times, many Qingliu appreciated him and admired him very much. Therefore, rescue operations in various ways and methods were staged inside and outside the capital.

The first assistant and the second assistant even begged to see the emperor, exhorted by various means, and even coerced with resignation, but they were unsuccessful. The excerpt of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian outside the palace and the excerpt of defending Zhou Jianzong fell into Jingyang Palace like a snowflake, showing no signs of stopping.

There are even various criticisms circulating among the officials and eunuchs in the capital, and the righteous indignation is like fire and boiling.

On the third day, news came out from Fusi Prison in Beizhen that Fang Daren and Wang Si had already admitted to bribing Zhou Jianzong and falsely accused him of bribing the internal prison. The two have pleaded guilty and drawn into custody, and the charges have been submitted to the royal front.

This further angered Qingliu, who accused the eunuchs of abusing lynching and torture to extract confessions.

However, Dongchang copied out more than 30,000 taels of cash from the mansion of Zhou Jianzong and the three people, and with their money, plus the income from the rent of the acres of land was not enough, Dongchang insisted that it was a bribe.

Zhou Jianzong gritted his teeth, his whole body was covered with traces of torture, bloodstained, and his originally well-defined face was full of bloodstains, without the slightest hint of the past.

Tian Ergeng was dressed in a fish and dragon suit, and he sat not far from him, drinking tea, and said with a smile, "How about Lord Zhou, are we still satisfied with the torture equipment of Jinyiwei?" ”

Zhou Jianzong stiffened his neck, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Eagle dog lackey, these things have been on me ten times, and this official will never do what you want!" ”

Tian Ergeng is tall and fierce, even if he doesn't smile, he looks terrifying, and the more hideous he becomes.

He put the teacup aside, and said with a very reasonable look: "Lord Zhou, I don't care if you say it or not." Lord Wang and Lord Fang have confessed. And your butler, and your second son, testify against you, and you have an account book! ”

When Zhou Jianzong heard this, his eyes widened, the green tendons on his head were exposed, and the angry flames in his eyes seemed to be burning.

Wang Si, no matter what Fang Daren said, Zhou Jianzong would not care. But if his housekeeper, especially his second son, really had any account books, it would definitely make him speechless!

The son accuses the father of being a great rebel, and in the same way, such a great rebellion in turn will prove the credibility of such a thing! Although he is noble and has never been corrupt and bends the law, all of his family property does not come from his fortune and land, and a considerable part of it is gray income, which is inexplicable.

But if he is seriously investigated, he, the so-called noble official, is afraid that his reputation will be ruined and his career will be cut off.

Zhou Jianzong's face was gloomy, and he stared at Tian Ergeng and said angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

Tian Ergeng smiled faintly, his eyes flashed bloody, and said, "Lord Zhou's fold was like thunder, and my father-in-law was panicked. Shouldn't Lord Zhou explain something to me? ”

Zhou Jianzong snorted coldly and said: "This official is upright, he will eliminate traitors for the country, and he will not be afraid to wait, if he has any ability, even if he comes to me, why bother my family!" ”

Tian Ergeng's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Since Lord Zhou said so, let's continue to try these torture tools of my Jinyiwei!" ”

Zhou Jianzong's expression was indifferent, and he said, "I don't believe that you can cover the sky with one hand, where is Luo Yangxing, I want to see him!" ”

Tian Ergeng said: "Lord Zhou doesn't need to worry, Lord Luo's father died of illness, and Lord Luo is afraid that he will have to be filial for a while." ”

According to the system, if the parents die of illness, they must keep filial piety for three years. However, Luo Yangxing is not a literati, and his official position is not in the civil system, so there will be many ways to change this observance.

For example, vacant posts do not hold real power.

Zhou Jianzong listened to Tian Ergeng's words, his expression became more and more tenacious, and he said in a deep voice: "Treacherous, if you have any means, just come at me!" ”

Tian Ergeng waved his hand and said, "Give Lord Zhou the most severe ones to taste, and it won't take long for Eunuch Wei to come." ”

At this time, there is no so-called humanity, and all kinds of torture tools are extremely cruel, even if they have scruples about Zhou Jianzong, it still makes people shudder.

Zhou Jianzong's screams resounded in this prison, and every time he fainted, he would wake up with cold water, and then continue to torture.

For three days in a row, Zhou Jianzong screamed endlessly, but this Lord Zhou was really hard-boned, and he didn't even let go of his mouth at all.

Locke.

Zhu Xu came in civilian clothes, put a few sticks of incense on Luo Sigong, and then served tea in the side room accompanied by Luo Yangxing.

Zhu Xu looked at Luo Yangxing, who was dressed in filial piety, and comforted, "Lord Luo's Day mourns and changes, Lord Luo is happy and mournful, and he should ascend to heaven and happiness." ”

Luo Yangxing's expression was sad, and he bowed slightly and said: "Your Royal Highness, my father has been low-key all his life and is unwilling to do anything wantonly. If His Royal Highness came in person, he would surely be relieved. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, comforted for a while, and got up to leave after sending the gold.

Luo Yangxing watched Zhu Xu leave in the carriage, standing in front of the door, and did not move for a long time.

"Your Excellency." Zhu Zonghan quietly appeared on Luo Yangxing's side.

Luo Yangxing didn't look back, and said, "Your Highness is here to let me control the changes in the Jinyi Guard, right?" ”

Zhu Zonghan's face was expressionless all the time, and when he heard this, he said: "At the beginning, the old man made several requests to His Royal Highness, one of which was to protect the young master. And the place where the young master stands is the Jinyi Guard, His Royal Highness is just afraid that the young master will forget, so let's remind him. ”

Luo Yangxing turned his head to look at the coffin in the lobby, the more sadness on his face, and said: "I know this, please rest assured Your Highness, Tian Ergeng can't make any waves." ”

Zhu Zonghan looked at Luo Yangxing's side face, his brows moved, and he vaguely found that Luo Yangxing's tone at this time was very similar to the dead Luo Sigong.

Zhu Xu left Luo's Mansion, but Wei Zhongxian walked into Beizhen Fusi Prison at this moment. (To be continued.) )
