Chapter 100: Darkness Comes

Previous Chapter

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground alone until half an hour later, Ren Hongfei did not return, Wei Zhongxian stood up with a smile.

The Donglin Party is over! It's completely over!! This kneeling is worth !!

Wei Zhongxian called out with a smile: "Tian Ergeng, come out." ”

Tian Ergeng hurriedly walked into the main hall of the East Factory, knelt down on one knee and bowed and said, "Factory Father, I am here." ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "From today on, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lao Luo will retire immediately, I will go to the edict now, tell Xu Xianchun, completely kill the scourge of the Donglin Party, except for my fellow countryman Zhao Nanxing and the university scholar Han Kuang, as long as the rest of the Donglin Party leaves one life, I will ask Xu Xianchun to come to see him." ”

Tian Ergeng was overjoyed, it seems that His Royal Highness King Xin is still very reliable, and he has been promoted in just one month, Tian Ergeng said loudly: "Yes, I obey my orders." ”

Wei Zhongxian walked out of the East Factory, stepped into the carriage, and returned to the palace with a smile on his face.

After Ren Hongfei walked out of the gate, he didn't return to the palace, but just walked straight to the east, Ye Hanqing followed a few steps and asked, "Don't go back?" ”

Ren Hongfei said lightly: "Go to my Xinwang Mansion and have a look." ”

Ye Hanqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "The Holy Lord agreed to let you live out of the palace?" ”

Ren Hongfei said: "Well, pestering him for several days, making him impatient, this is allowed." ”

Ye Hanqing was happy: "I finally got out of that prison." ”

Ren Hongfei said: "Move out in three days, I've really stayed enough in the Forbidden City." ”

Ye Hanqing said: "It's better to let Han Benyong move the cornucopia to King Xin's Mansion, it's more convenient." ”

Ren Hongfei stopped, frowned and squinted at Ye Hanqing.

Ye Hanqing was stunned: "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”

Ren Hongfei sneered: "Such a major treasure related to the fortune of the country, who knows if there is a backup or cronies secretly protecting it in Nanjing, in case it is traced down, it can be desperately denied when it is transported to Guangcai Hutong, but if it is moved back to the palace of the letter, won't it even have the opportunity to quibble!" ”

Ye Hanqing suddenly realized, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

Three days later, Ren Hongfei, Ye Hanqing, and Lan'er finally got out of the cage of great glory and moved into the Xinwang Mansion in Wangfujing safely.

Within 2 months:

Wang Wenyan, one of the two major think tanks of the Donglin Party, was arrested and put in Zhao Prison, tortured for 15 days, never yielded, and was finally tortured to death.

Yang Lian, an important minister of the Donglin Party, and the left deputy capital Yushi, entered Zhao Prison after Wang Wenyan's death, his jaw was beaten to fall out, and five teeth were knocked out, but he was still silent and did not say a word. So Xu Xianchun used a steel brush, and after a few times, Yang Lian's body was incomplete, and the jailer said: The skin and flesh were broken like silk.

But the angry Yang Lian began to curse endlessly, and refused to bow his head and beg for mercy.

Xu Xianchun, who was scolded, stood up with murderous intent and smashed Yang Lian's chest with a copper hammer, breaking Yang Lian's seven ribs, but Yang Lian did not die.

Xu Xianchun then used the most famous murder technique in prison - cloth bag press.

The so-called cloth bag pressing body is to find a cloth bag, which is filled with soil, and press on him at night while the prisoner is sleeping, so that he can't breathe, basically he is pressed at night, and he dies at dawn.

However, Yang Lian still did not die, just like being possessed by King Kong, he was forced by him to strengthen the Qingfeng Foshan Gang, and he let him cross the bright moon and shine on the river.

Xu Xianchun was about to be driven crazy by the strong Yang Lian, so this almost crazy person used the means of madness, and he sent someone to nail the iron nail into Yang Lian's ear.

But Yang Lian, who was nailed into his ear, still did not die, but the exception would not happen again, the inhumane torture, the iron nail in his ear had already hit Yang Lian hard, and his mind began to blur.

Xu Xianchun, who was almost about to collapse, finally used a trick, he asked someone to nail a big iron nail into the top of Yang Lian's head, this time, the miracle did not appear again, Yang Lian died on the spot, fifty-four years old, this great martyr, has gone through his glorious life!

The tragic Yang Lian wrote his fearless last words before he died: Benevolence and righteousness in a lifetime, died in the edict, it is unspeakable to die, why regret the sky, why complain about people? Only I, as a deputy minister, have been ordered by Confucius: I trust my life to be alone, and I can't take it away when I am on the big festival. With this thought, it can be seen that the first emperor is in the sky, and the two ancestors and ten sects are in the emperor and the earth, and the world will last forever! Laughing and laughing, slashing the east wind, what is there to me!

Yang Lian's will and belief are really admirable, he left a total of two blood letters, and the other suicide note wrote: That is, the body is boneless, the corpse is for maggots and ants, and he is willing! May the country be strong, the saintly and virtuous, and the sea will enjoy the blessings of peace for a long time! This foolish thought will not change until death!

Donglin Party member Zuo Guangdou, Zuo Du Yushi, was also tortured to death by Xu Xianchun the day after Yang Lian's death, before his death his proud protΓ©gΓ© came to visit him in prison, was scolded by Zuo Guangdou and ran away, this proud protΓ©gΓ© is called Shi Kefa, and later became the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, a member of the cabinet, and the number one minister of the Nanming regime.

Wei Dazhong, a member of the Donglin Party, was tortured to death by Xu Xianchun in the middle of the matter.

Yuan Huazhong, a member of the Donglin Party, was tortured to death in Zhao Prison.

Zhou Chaorui, a member of the Donglin Party, was beaten to death in the middle of the matter.

Gu Dazhang, an important minister of the Donglin Party, was the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites at the time, although he was not the biggest official in the dead, but his teacher was Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the imperial court. Moreover, he once served as the head of the criminal department, and was released from prison safely a few days later.

However, Li Yangzheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took refuge in the eunuch party, and arrested Gu Dazhang, who had just been released from prison, back to Zhao Prison, and a day later, Gu Dazhang wrote his suicide note and hanged himself that night.

Huang Zunsu, the only remaining think tank of the Donglin Party, Yushi, was subsequently arrested, and Xu Xianchun beat him to death.

The Donglin Party members were tortured to death in turn, including Gao Panlong, Imperial Governor of the Imperial Palace, Li Yingsheng and Zhou Zongjian, and Zhou Zongchang, the Emperor of the Hanlin Academy, Zhou Qiyuan, the governor of Yingtian, and Zhou Shunchang, the Jinshi.

In addition, civilians Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Shen Yang, Zhou Wenyuan, and Ma Jie were all arrested and tortured to death one by one because they were dissatisfied with the rampant eunuchs and fought according to reason.

Zhao Nanxing, the head of the Donglin Party, and Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the Ministry of Officials, were forced to resign, while Sun Chengzong, who was then the secretary of the military department and the governor of Liaodong, was finally disheartened and resigned two months later.

And Sun Chengzong, one of the three giants of the leader of the Donglin Party, and his student Yuan Chonghuan, were not implicated in any way, because there were really no generals in the eunuch party who could fight, if Yuan Chonghuan was also killed, I was afraid that Nurhachi would be able to fight in the capital within a year, and even if the whole court was a eunuch party, what was the use?!

In just three months, the Donglin Party collapsed, and there was no one left among the ten people.

In order to repay Han Wei, Wei Zhongxian helped his father, Han Kuang, a university scholar, to the first assistant of the cabinet, but the upright Han Kuang really couldn't stand the eunuchs' misdeeds, but he himself was powerless, and finally resigned angrily four months later, and since then, the Donglin Party has been wiped out during the reign of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse!
