In the edict prison of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, Wang Yue had become a prisoner at this time, and as a rebel against the party, he naturally had no good fruit to eat, and he was arranged in the most terrifying felons area from the moment he entered the edict.

Wang Yue's hands were tied and hung on the iron pillars by iron chains, while his feet were clamped by iron clips fixed to the ground, and even his neck was pulled by two iron chains, one in front and one behind, and even his mouth was stuffed with cloth.

Therefore, now Wang Yue can only move his eyes once, other than that, he can't move if he wants to, even if he has been standing for a long time now and his muscles are sore, he can't bend down and sit down.

The Jinyi guards in the edict did this, naturally to prevent Wang Yue from committing suicide.

Lu He, Zhang Zhao and other rebels were also hung with their hands and feet locked in the edict like Wang Yue.

Gu Dayong only beckoned when he appeared in the edict prison, and asked Guo Rong to take down the cloth ball from Wang Yue and the others' mouths.

After the cloth ball in Wang Yue and the others' mouths was removed, Gu Dayong, who was already sitting on a chair, only asked, "Wang Yue, did you ever think that you would have today?" ”

Wang Yue smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this point, and our family doesn't want to say anything more, just want to die quickly, and hope that the father-in-law and the emperor will be fulfilled!" ”

Gu Dayong, who had been ordered by Zhu Houzhao to pry out the secret of the sudden death of Emperor Hongzhi from Wang Yue and others, smiled slightly, he may have been very afraid of this so-called ancestor before, but now when he heard Wang Yue call his father-in-law, he was naturally very pleased in his heart, but it could not offset Gu Dayong's hatred for Wang Yue who forced Emperor Zhu Houzhao to kill him before.

Gu Dayong didn't let Jinyi Wei do it, he first snatched a whip dipped in salt water from a Jinyi wrestler and whipped it directly in Wang Yue's face: "If you want to die quickly, it's not so easy, the lard is blinded, and you dare to force the palace to blackmail the emperor!" Now I will give you a chance to suffer less flesh and skin, and explain to my father-in-law how you killed the first emperor back then, otherwise, you will be better off than dead! ”

Wang Yue, who was beaten like a fire in the face, bit his lip and teeth and stared at Gu Dayong in front of him, he was angry and painful, he didn't expect that one day he would be bullied by someone like Gu Dayong like this, and before that, he only thought that Gu Dayong was just a little eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao.

But Wang Yue also knew that he had no way to use Gu Dayong now, and even he couldn't help laughing, and looked at Gu Dayong with contempt on his face: "What is the secret of the sudden death of the first emperor, our family doesn't know, Gu Gonggong should go and ask others!" ”

Gu Dayong also smiled coldly: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink, Wang Yue, you are a capital crime anyway, why bother to cover for others, what benefits can they give you now, can they save you or can they save you from the current situation for you?" If you are honest, you will at least suffer less sin. ”

Wang Yue didn't answer, and only expressed his resistance to Gu Dayong in silence, but he knew in his heart that although he couldn't expect any real help from the civil officials outside, at least their pens would not write any infamy for themselves, and on the contrary, Gu Da would use eunuchs like Liu Jin to face the civil officials for ten thousand years!

Gu Dayong was naturally not polite, and seeing that Wang Yue refused to speak, he naturally asked Jinyiwei to punish Wang Yue directly.

At the same time, Gu Dayong began to interrogate Lu He, Zhang Zhao and others, Lu He and Zhang Zhao had nothing to say, only begging for mercy, but they didn't know much about the secrets of Emperor Hongzhi's death.

Wang Yue couldn't bear the punishment of Jinyiwei's edict, and finally opened his mouth, but he still said that he didn't know, and said that he went to Wanshou Temple that day to make a vow.

Seeing this, Gu Dayong had to let people continue to torture Wang Yue, but Wang Yue still said that he didn't know, and even said that he only asked Gu Dayong to ask Zhang Yu, saying that it was Zhang Yu who accompanied Emperor Hongzhi for the last few days.

Zhu Houzhao also learned from Gu Dayong the result that Wang Yue had been saying that he didn't know, and he couldn't help frowning for a while: "Now it seems that we can only see if Ma Yongcheng and they can arrest Zhang Yu and others back to interrogate the evidence, but Wang Yue's side should not stop, no matter whether they really don't know or really hard-mouthed, continue to interrogate strictly!" ”

Gu Da retreated with the order.

At this time, Ma Yongcheng and Wang Yangming were marching on the way to Xi'an Mansion with the Absolute Voice.

Not long after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Ma Yongcheng followed Zhu Houzhao's instructions and sent his henchmen to disguise themselves as Taoist priests or monks, as well as other low-level people such as peddlers and pawns to track down Zhang Yu and others.

Although Ma Yongcheng was only a personal eunuch by the emperor's side before, and he had not yet become a great eunuch in the inner court, it was not difficult to get some degrees or lead the way down, but now that he has become the governor of Dongchang, these people have naturally become spies in Dongchang.

After Ma Yongcheng, Wang Yangming and others arrived at Baqiao, a spy under Ma Yongcheng stationed here hurriedly greeted him: "The little one has seen Ma Ye!" ”

"Now that Ma Ye is the governor of Dongchang, you are all from Dongchang, it's time to change your name", after a hundred households in Dongchang said, he first retreated behind Ma Yongcheng and Wang Yangming.

At this time, the people of Xi'an did not know about the fall of Wang Yue and others, and this spy now heard that Ma Yongcheng was already the governor of Dongchang, and naturally guessed that something big might have happened in the capital, and his own Ma Ye was obviously a beneficiary, otherwise he would not have become the governor of Dongchang, and he also became a person from Dongchang, and he also felt happy for a while, and he consciously followed himself in the future, and he would definitely have a bright future and increase his enthusiasm a lot.

Ma Yongcheng didn't wait for the spy to congratulate him, so he asked directly: "How is the key criminal you are monitoring now?" ”

The spy replied: "If you go back to the governor's words, you will look at it, but a month ago, they just moved to Lishan, where they built a new manor, which is very solid, like a new city, but because the prefect of Xi'an is Li Gefu's protégé, although they are watching, they don't care about their forcible seizure of people's land in Lishan to build their own private garden. ”

Wang Yangming couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

On the way to Xi'an with Ma Yongcheng, Wang Yangming also knew from Ma Yongcheng that his real mission to Xi'an this time, and he naturally did not object to investigating the cause of Emperor Hongzhi's death in detail, after all, he is only a petty official now, and there are not too many interests entangled in the struggle at the top.

But at this moment, he frowned because he thought that Zhang Yu and the others had their own manor city in Lishan, protected by the city, and monitored and protected by the Xi'an prefect, so it seemed that it was not easy to arrest Zhang Yu and others into Beijing.

Ma Yongcheng also felt embarrassed, but at the same time, he was also glad that he was fortunate to have prepared to directly lead a guard's army, and they all changed into sophisticated equipment through the military department.

At this time, it was Wang Yangming who spoke first: "Dugong, we have to go to Lishan as soon as possible to arrest Zhang Yu and others into Beijing, we can't delay too long, first, so many of our people and horses will be known by them sooner or later when they appear in this Xi'an territory, and second, the lower officials do not guarantee that Li Dongyang They really won't be aware of our purpose in Beijing, and it is very likely that they have already sent people to intercept us on the road or even attack first!" ”
