Chapter 43: Interrogation
Feng Bao looked at Liu Shouyou and was not surprised by his answer at all. After Liu Shouyou was a famous minister, he also had some literati habits, but Liu Shouyou was not a fool, and he would not be foolish enough to get involved until he figured out the truth of the matter.
"In that case, let the children of the East Factory sacrifice their ugliness." Feng Bao stood up and said with a smile.
The two of them went out of the house together and went straight to the torture room of the East Factory, and when they arrived at the torture room, it had already been arranged. The minister was tied to a cross-shaped pillar, his head hung down, his hair scattered, but there were no scars on his body.
There were two tables on the opposite side, and the tea on them had already been placed, which was for Feng Bao and Liu Shouyou to sit on. The scribe next to him was also ready, ready to record the interrogation, and everything seemed very formal.
Nodding to Xu Jue next to him, Feng Bao said, "Okay, let's start!" ”
Xu Jue nodded, walked to Minister Wang's side, and began to ask Minister Wang.
"What's your name?"
"Minister Wang!"
"Where?"
"Changzhou Wujin County!"
"What do you do for a living?"
"Originally, it was a soldier of Jiliao, who was evading service!"
These questions were not unexpected by Liu Shouyou, and when he heard the mention of Ji Liao, Liu Shouyou raised his spirit. Although Liu Shouyou guessed that Feng Bao would not dig deep into Qi Jiguang's line, he was still a little nervous when it came to the end.
Glancing at Feng Bao, Liu Shouyou found that Feng Bao looked like an old god, and he couldn't see anything, so he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Old fox!" ”
Xu Jue continued to ask, "Why did you come to the capital?" ”
"The little one is a fugitive, he doesn't dare to return to his hometown, thinking about the rich and noble land of the capital, he wants to come to ask for a life!" Minister Wang said with a sad face.
A fugitive is a deserter, and according to military law, he must be killed directly, which is reasonable.
"Then why did you enter the inner palace with a sharp knife to assassinate the emperor?" Xu Jue asked with a gloomy face.
This shouting question immediately made the atmosphere at the scene tense, and Liu Shouyou's heart also rose, he knew that the real critical moment had arrived. stared intently at Minister Wang, wanting to see what he had to say.
"My lord, I was forced!" Minister Wang begged for mercy and said: "How can the little one have such courage, and the little one is forced to be helpless!" ”
"Who persecuted you?" Xu Jue also seemed to be in a hurry, and asked again.
Minister Wang swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "It's Gao Gong, Gao Gong was dismissed and went home, but with resentment, he found the kid and threatened the little one with evasion, if he didn't comply, he would go to the government to denounce the little one." ”
"The small ones are really helpless, please be aware of the adults, the small ones are wronged!"
Listening to Minister Wang's words, Liu Shouyou was suddenly taken aback, and Feng Bao actually aimed at preparing a high arch again.
Originally, Gao Gong was driven away, and everyone in the court thought that this matter was over. Who would have thought that Feng Bao would actually turn it out at this time, this is to kill Gao Gong! Glancing at Feng Bao, Liu Shouyou secretly said in his heart: "This old eunuch is ruthless enough!" ”
No, no, it's not just for the high arches, there must be other arrangements in this.
After thinking about it a little, Liu Shouyou understood that Feng Bao was going to burn the fire to the court. If the emperor is assassinated by a solid high arch, it will be a major case of rebellion, and once it is set off, it will be a monstrous case.
There will be chaos in the court in an instant, and when the time comes, it will be the factory guards who are unjustly imprisoned, and the Ming Dynasty will be bloody in an instant.
No, it's Dongchangxing Prison, and his Jinyiwei is innocent. This Feng Bao's plan is really big, and he is ruthless enough. If Feng Bao really did it, then the East Factory would definitely be magnificent, and Feng Baoquan would be all over the world.
Thinking of this, Liu Shouyou gasped, this is much more than what he planned against Qi Jiguang.
Now it seems that Feng Bao's proposal of Qi Jiguang is just a warning, but a deterrent, and the target is naturally Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet. Thinking of this, Liu Shouyou secretly complained to himself, the two sides fought the method, and the Jinyi guard who was sandwiched in the center decided to be roasted on the fire.
When the time comes, I will command the Jinyi guard, and I am afraid that he will be roasted directly.
"Nonsense, you infiltrated the palace because of the high arch coercion, so how did you get in? The Imperial Palace's Great Inner Palace is strictly forbidden, do you think anyone can enter it? Xu Jue calmed his face and said loudly again.
"They said that there would be a Gonggong Chen to answer, and I was brought into the palace by that Gonggong Chen!"
Grandpa Chen?
Liu Shou was stunned when he heard this name, and then he understood who this person was, this person was Chen Hong! couldn't help but glance at Feng Bao again, this Chen Hong himself almost didn't remember, this Feng Bao really held a grudge!
At the beginning, Gao Gong was the first assistant of the cabinet, and any Chen Hong directly blocked Feng Bao's way, and now Feng Bao is going to take revenge! Looking at the posture, this is to put Gao Gong and Chen Hong to death. This has been in the past for a long time, and he can still have this thought, this old eunuch is really insidious.
"Are you telling the truth?" Xu Jue looked at Minister Wang and asked solemnly.
"What the little one said is true, please see it!" Minister Wang nodded again and again, his face full of pleading: "Adult, the little ones have all said, there is no hiding at all!" ”
"In that case, let's draw a charge!" Feng Bao saw that the interrogation was over, and said lightly.
Liu Shouyou was speechless on the side, but he would not speak at this time, because not only was it useless, but he would fall into the handle, maybe Feng Bao would turn around and run to the Queen Mother to complain, and then he would not be able to eat and walk away.
Coming out of the East Factory, Liu Shou was in a gloomy mood, and Feng Bao's methods were really terrible.
But Liu Shouyou also has to admit that although the means are not bright, they are useful! What is the impression of the current Queen Mother on Gao Gong, Liu Shouyou is naturally clear. If the results of this interrogation are to be sent in, the Queen Mother will be furious!
Back in Beizhen Fusi, Liu Shouyou found Lu Zhengsheng as soon as possible.
"Does Mr. Zhang have an answer?" Looking at Lu Zhengsheng, Liu Shouyou asked solemnly.
"Yes!" Lu Zhengsheng nodded: "Lord Zhang asked the humble post to tell the lord, just respond to all changes without change, and the matter will be completed if it is slow, and you must not be in a hurry." ”
Liu Shouyou smiled bitterly, this scholar Zhang was really calm, but he couldn't hold it back. Liu Shouyou believes that if Zhang Juzheng gets the result of today's interrogation, he will definitely lose his breath, which is much more insidious than targeting Qi Jiguang.
"You go, go to Zhang's mansion, and tell You Qi that the Dongchang has already found out the results." Liu Shou did not hesitate at all, although the news would come out sooner or later, but the sooner he knew, Master Zhang could also take a step earlier than just specific matters, so as not to mess up.
"Minister Wang confessed, and the former cabinet scholar Gao Gong and the chamberlain Chen Hong coerced him, and planned and arranged this assassination."
