Chapter 571. Mountains of gold and silver
It is hard to imagine that there is such a dark and terrifying dungeon in the palatial mansion, where the iron rods with thick arms keep the freedom outside far away, and in the wet straw on the ground, snakes, rats, and centipedes crawl around from time to time.
This was once a place where the nobles tortured and punished the subordinates of the palace, but now it is used on their masters.
The three braziers flickered and shook their shadows in the darkness, and in the braziers, the soldering iron was already burning red, facing the heat of the brazier, and two people knelt on the ground tremblingly, each with a heavy and large shackle on their hands and necks.
Don't underestimate this shackle, plus the iron foot is three hundred catties, which is heavier than a person, not to mention the soreness of the hands and necks for a long time, just this weight is enough to make people feel painful, Wang Zhixin's fat neck has been broken, blood mixed with sweat has accumulated a small circle in the shackles, as for Wei Zaode on the side, his neck is even festering and purple! Compared with a few days ago, the former scholar of the first auxiliary university had lost a few laps, and he knelt on the ground, where he could not stop shivering.
This kung fu, the door suddenly opened with a bang, and he also changed into a set of big eunuch clothes that he didn't know where to find, and only the generally fat eunuch body could fit Liu Zongmin's burly body and a body of tendon meat, pacing, he walked in with a sneer.
"How, two adults, do you have any money now?"
"General Liu, old decay, decay is really out of money, all the belongings have been handed over to you, please be merciful and let the decay go!"
This Wei Zaode was really unlucky, he originally spit out the silver, but he was released by Liu Zongmin, and he didn't sit hot when he went home, so in order to give Li Zicheng a demonstration, he was caught by Liu Zongmin again.
His lips were dry and cracked, and his voice was extremely weak and hoarse, and he trembled and begged for mercy.
It has only been a day since he knelt, and the heart of the great eunuch king is full of energy, and he is also kowtowing with difficulty in crying.
"General Quan's grandfather, our family is a subordinate who serves people, and there is really no money!"
"I don't have any money yet! It's easy to say!"
Moved a stool and sat opposite, Liu Zongmin cruelly showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and waved his face behind him: "It just so happens that Lao Tzu got something good from Jinyiwei, Lord Wei, let's try it first!" ”
In his frightened eyes, he watched a bamboo twist with flail fingers being put on by two intruders, and before he could drag it, Wei Zaode had already screamed like a pig.
"Spare your life! Adults spare their lives, there is really no ...... for old decay, ah! Ahh!!h
Who cares about him? Full of cruelty, even Liu Zongmin's own soldiers laughed fiercely and dragged them to both sides, and suddenly, an even more terrible howl echoed in this terrifying dungeon.
A pair of hands were bruised and swollen under the twist flail, and the blood was squeezed out, and he howled miserably for a few minutes, Wei Zaode simply rolled his eyes and fainted.
"It's not going to work! Forget it, Princess, you are strong, you must be able to withstand it for a while! Come on! Wait for the prince to twist!"
Directly tortured, or just the pain of torture, this saw others being tortured, and then fell on themselves, and had to bear an additional fear that devoured people's hearts, seeing the bloody twist clamped on his fat hand again, Wang Zhixin was so frightened that he urinated directly, crying with a handful of snot and tears.
"General Quan's grandfather, the old slave really has no money! The old slave is a servant of people, where is the ......, ahh!!h
The terrible scream sounded again, especially annoyed that he made a bad smell, the two pro-soldiers were even more ruthless, his ten fat fingers, almost didn't squeeze out the oil, red as a carrot, sure enough, every day big fish and big meat raised, this guy is much stronger than Wei Zaode, he has been in the flail for more than ten minutes, and he didn't faint.
However, the big eunuch's voice was hoarse, and the sweat on his body made the court clothes wet, and he actually felt a little thinner than when he came in.
can be regarded as withdrawing the twist, and Wang Zhixin is like having no bones, and he directly collapses on the ground.
Snot, tears, saliva, sweat and disgusting mixture, flowing down the shackles, sobbing silently, for a long time, the big eunuch spoke weakly.
"Liu, Master Liu, don't, don't, don't be in a flail! Ten, 100,000 taels of silver, old slave, old slave out!"
"No! Just now my eldest brother asked for 100,000 yuan, didn't you eunuchs say that there is a precedent? Is there no more to Lao Tzu? You'll have to come up with 200,000 taels! ”
"Two hundred thousand taels?"
Seeing Liu Zongmin looking like a ruffian, holding his arms and tilting his head proudly, even if he had just been tortured, the dead eunuch still bounced up like a leather ball, shouting in disbelief.
"The old slave can barely make up the 100,000 taels with all his wealth, where did he get the 200,000 taels?"
"Oh? No, yes! All right! It just so happened that Lao Tzu got a lot of good things from your brocade guards, come on! Serve the princess! By the way, I will also serve Lord Wei!"
"The old slave really doesn't have it!"
In the heart of the king's frightened discrimination, this time it was a square clamp that was shackled to his head on the door of his fat and fat head, and the fat was squeezed out, and on the other hand, Wei Zaode, who was in a coma, was also in a daze and was put into the shackles, and with the strength of the four pro-soldiers, in the terrible screams, the old guy was woken up by pain!
It was as if the howl of a ghost crying echoed in this unlucky mansion for a full night, and the next day, more than a dozen carriages pulled heavy boxes back, Liu Zongmin was showing off and opened a mouthful in front of Li Zicheng's eyes, and suddenly the golden light flashed all over their pupils.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver! 10,000 taels of gold! It is estimated that the dead eunuch still has oil that has not been squeezed out, and as for Wei Zaode's old immortal, there is still an unexpected harvest, and he has made another 30,000 taels! And this!"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Liu Zongmin proudly dragged over a frightened official lady like a quail, how shameless is this Wei Zaode, in order to survive, he dedicated his daughter to Liu Zongmin as a **.
hugged the girl and kissed her on the face, Liu Zongmin was proudly showing off.
"What's the matter, big brother, it's no worse than the one in your palace!"
However, looking at the heavy dozen boxes, Li Zicheng was silent, his eyes staring at the gold and silver, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
Finally, the eldest lady of the Wei family was crying and being picked up a ** delicate body, and when she saw Liu Zongmin about to pick up the gun and get on the horse, Li Zicheng suddenly let go of the hand pinching her beard and said gloomily.
"Wang Dehua, Gao Qiqian, Du Xun, Xu Yingyuan, Xu Gao, these eunuchs are all handed over to you! Squeeze out all their money to Lao Tzu!"
It's even more excited than the university scholar, and a slap on Miss Wei's upright ass pushed her to the bed, Liu Zongmin hugged her fist with great excitement.
"Well! Big brother!"
…………
This time it was simply to lead the soldiers to occupy the Jinyi Wei Prison before the Ming Dynasty, and then the soldiers made a fuss in the palace, and the powerful Xuanhe eunuchs were imprisoned one after another, and the dusty torture instruments of the Jinyi Guard were all turned over by Liu Zongmin, in the lobby, whether it was Wang Dehua who surrendered with the Royal Horse Prison Yongwei Battalion or Xu Yingyuan, who took the initiative to greet inward, etc., each person was shackled with a shackle of more than 300 catties, one person and six wrestlers were waiting, two twisters twisted hands, two clips clamped heads, and two flail legs, The screams were like hell cracking open and ghosts crying.
Especially Wang Zhixin, this Emperor Chongzhen was already an old eunuch when he believed in the palace, one of Chongzhen's most trusted officials, Emperor Chongzhen calculated every time he reduced his meals and withdrew from music, and lit the lamp, but he didn't know that all the remaining silver was put into his fat mouse's pocket.
At the most critical moment of the empire, he was not able to pull out a hair, but now, he has no wealth or life, and his fat head and big ears have been deformed like a gourd, and he is screaming extremely miserably.
"Grandpa Liu, fifty thousand taels! The old slave really only has 50,000 taels! I don't have any more money, so I beg you, open your grace! ”
"Please......
Gaba~
In the crisp sound of bone cracking, a stream of white slurry actually squirted out of the nostrils alive, and the eyes that had protruded outward like goldfish twitched and turned white violently, and the powerful Ouchi chief finally convulsed his thighs that had lost two laps, and there was no longer life.
"Dead?"
came over and kicked it, Liu Zongmin waved his hand happily: "Drag it down, didn't he say that there are still 50,000 taels?" Grab his nephew or something, and torture him!"
Listening to this cruel voice, the rest of the tortured eunuchs trembled violently, their spirits completely collapsed, and Wang Dehua was the first to cry out loudly.
"Master Liu! Stop the flail! The old slave is willing to dedicate all my family property to King Chuang, and I dare not leave a tael of silver!"
…………
Once again, there are a few more beautiful women around Liu Zongmin, the top brand raised by this eunuch, the eldest niece of the eunuch, fiddling with the newly obtained gadgets in his hands, he is triumphant.
Looking at the silver boxes all over the ground, silk and satin, and antique jade bottles, Li Zicheng once again felt that his eyes were not enough!
Just twenty or thirty big eunuchs boiled out eight million taels of snowflakes and silver! In the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Dynasty, he squeezed the silver from side to side, and raised such fat rats!
His voice trembled a little, Li Zicheng didn't realize how terrible the greed radiated from his one-eyed eye was, and when he closed the box, he said gloomily again.
"I heard that Chongzhen also has a group of royal relatives?"
"Big brother, brother understands!"
