In the palace of Qianqing Palace, the palace lights are lined up and the lights are bright. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the beginning of the operation, Zhu Youhua has been waiting for news in the palace, and in the early morning, Feng Kezong carried the "Prince's Secret Edict" and letters into the palace to restore his life, after the monarch and ministers.

Zhu Youhua asked in a deep voice: "How are things going?" ”

Feng Kezong replied: "Weichen has fulfilled his mission, and has captured Wuchanglai's spies alive, and all the servants he brought have been arrested, and none of them have escaped the net. The ministers also searched for the forged "Prince's Secret Edict" and the contact letters of the traitors from the spy. ”

After speaking, he took out the cloth and book from his arms, bowed down and handed them to Zhu Youhua.

After Zhu Youhua took it, he read it carefully, and his face was happy.

Well done! Come on, show Feng Aiqing a seat. ”

The inner supervisor of his cronies was ordered to move a small embroidery pier.

Feng Kezong was happy in his heart, but he said: "The emperor is above, how dare the minister sit." ”

"What words!" Zhu Youhua's eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry and said: "You are my confidant and beloved minister, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to stick to vulgar etiquette, and it is convenient to sit and talk." ”

"Then the minister trespassed." Feng Kezong carefully sat on the small embroidery pier given to him by Zhu Youhua, with a humble and obedient expression.

Zhu Youhua said with satisfaction: "Feng Aiqing has worked hard these days, and I see your efforts in my eyes and remember them in my heart." You can rest assured, after the matter is completed, the court will not treat the meritorious officials badly, and the rewards that should be given will not be less. ”

Feng Kezong hurriedly said: "Jinyi Wei is the minion of the Son of Heaven, and being able to serve the emperor is a blessing that the ministers have cultivated for several generations, and the ministers dare not speak of merit, let alone covet rewards." ”

"There is no reward for merit, no punishment for faults, how to gather people's hearts and collect the world? Is Aiqing trying to fall into injustice? ”

"I don't dare." Zhu Youhua buttoned down a big hat, and Feng Kezong was so shocked that he wanted to get up and leave his seat, bow and apologize.

"Aiqing don't be nervous, I know you didn't mean that." Zhu Youhua pressed his hand, signaled Feng Kezong not to get up, and then continued: "A few days ago, I asked you to investigate the wealthy gentry with the background of Donglin Fushe in Nanzhili and Jiangbei, how is Aiqing's investigation?" ”

Feng Kezong said: "This matter has taken dozens of days, and it has been investigated, there are more than 260 families with more than 100,000 yuan, including 94 families with more than 300,000 yuan, 46 families with more than 600,000 yuan, and 19 families with huge wealth of more than 1 million. ”

After Zhu Youhua listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the little finger of his right hand tapped the foot lightly on a regular basis, and then said lightly: "These wealthy gentry have a lot to do with those Donglin thieves who plot against the king and plot to betray and deceive the king!" ”

After Feng Kezong heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and said, "What is Your Majesty's plan?" ”

"Didn't Aiqing arrest that spy alive, you must try it well, try it carefully, and you must catch all the people involved in the case! I will not tolerate the extermination of the family! At this moment, Zhu Youhua's face was very cold, which made people shudder.

"Got it!" Feng Kezong's heart has been like a mirror at this point, alas, he didn't expect that Jinshang's scheming was so deep and the layout was so far-reaching, and there was no sign at the beginning, until he suddenly became difficult, it was really unfathomable. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, the expression on his face became more respectful, and his body bent down unconsciously.

"It's good that you understand, remember, don't be afraid of being implicated, you'd rather kill the wrong person than let it go!" Zhu Youhua was especially afraid that Feng Kezong would not be able to understand what he meant, so he emphasized it again. Until Feng Kezong loudly agreed.

"It's okay to kneel!"

"Retire!"

With a hint of nervousness and excitement, Feng Kezong slowly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace. By this time, the moon had sunk in the west, and the sky was gradually brightening.

Although Feng Kezong was busy all night, he was still full of energy, his eyes were attentive, and there was not the slightest lack of fatigue on his face.

As soon as he got out of the imperial city, he went straight to Jinyiwei Prison, planning to interrogate Qian Kang overnight, walking on the road, his heart was still difficult to calm down, he already had a premonition, this is an earth-shattering rebellion case, rare in a hundred years!

If the matter is done, the prestige of Jinyiwei will spread all over the world again, and he, Feng Kezong, will also become second only to the old-timer Lu Bing, who has three princes and three divisions. Become one of the most powerful Jinyi Guard commanders in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty! And when the time comes, you will definitely be able to share a large amount of silver, which can be called fame and fortune! How can you not be excited when you think of this?

Feng Kezong took a few brocade guards and walked along the imperial city to the east with lanterns for less than two miles to the edict prison, the torches in the edict prison were blazing, illuminating the cell as bright as day, and one hundred and ten brocade guards on duty saw Feng Kezong come in and bowed busily.

"Bring the thief into the secret room, and the governor will interrogate him himself!"

"Obey!"

Several brocade guards quickly escorted Qian Kang, who was lame and stuffed with a cloth ball in his mouth, into the secret room.

"This guy is hard-mouthed and ruthless, we have used a lot of tricks, and we refuse to reveal any information, so we still want to bite our tongue and commit suicide while we are not paying attention, but fortunately we found it in time, stopped him, and applied medicine to him to stop the bleeding."

A brocade-clothed guard hundred households was showing Feng Kezong the way in front, and he was a little afraid.

"One more of his servants will be brought in and interrogated together!" Feng Kezong commanded expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

After a while, another Qian Mansion servant was tied up and brought into the secret room, and his mouth was blocked by a cloth ball.

Feng Kezong held the handle of the embroidered spring knife, walked to Qian Kang's side, personally took off the cloth ball that blocked his mouth and handed it to his relatives on the side, looking at Qian Kang, who was bloodstained and bruised all over his body, he said with a playful face: "You guy, do you have a very strict mouth?" Although you are a scholar, your bones are quite tough, unlike the other soft eggs of the Donglin Restoration Society, Bendu underestimated you. Ben asks you again, do you really refuse to say anything? ”

Qian Kang glared at Feng Kezong angrily and was silent.

"It seems that the punishment will not work if you don't move!" Feng Kezong smiled suspiciously, and his entourage understood, and began to prepare torture tools one after another.

"Today fell into the hands of you and other eagle dogs, Qian Mou thought he was unlucky, he wanted to kill or chop, listen to him, and if he wanted to make Qian's confession, don't even think about it!"

"It's not easy to die! How to die is the key! It's up to Ben to decide! ”

Feng Kezong was not annoyed when he heard this, but smiled evilly: "Ben Du has recently developed a kind of torture, you are lucky, you are fortunate to be the first batch of spectators, this is Ben Du racked his brains to come up with, so far few criminals have been able to use it!" I'll use it on your servant later, and you'll have to keep your eyes open! It's absolutely wonderful! ”

After speaking, he resolutely ordered: "Give the servant to the governor." ”

Two brocade guards stepped forward and held the servant down.

"Fetch another cloth rope for Bento!"

"Your Excellency, send the cloth rope!"

The servant stared at everything in front of him, showing a look of horror, obviously knowing that he was going to torture him, but unfortunately his mouth was stuffed with cloth, and he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to beg for mercy, and he whined for a long time, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

After Feng Kezong took a cloth rope from his subordinates, he walked to a bucket, bent down and pressed the cloth rope into the water and soaked it for a while, and then took it out, the cloth rope at this time was about as thick as a wrist.

Turning around, Feng Kezong continued to command expressionlessly: "Take the cloth ball away and let the servant open his mouth." ”

The brocade guards were ordered to pinch the cheeks of the servants, nodded and said, "My lord, you can do it!" ”

Feng Kezong stepped forward and stuffed the cloth rope into the servant's mouth little by little, and finally left only a small piece outside, and the rest was all stuffed into the servant's stomach.

Qian Kang stared at all this.

Feng Kezong tirelessly explained to Qian Kang while operating: "This cloth rope has now entered your servant's stomach, and after soaking in the acid water in the stomach, the cloth rope will swell up and stick to his food organs. When the time comes, the Governor will only have to pull hard......"

As he spoke, he grabbed the exposed end of the cloth rope, stretched out his arms, and with a hula, the whole cloth rope was pulled out in one go, and there was a bloody and wet skin bag hanging at the end, which was the stomach pouch of the servant.

The servant fell to the ground in pain, rolling back and forth, wanting to say something but couldn't say anything, his mouth inhaled desperately, as if he wanted to suck the stomach pouch back into his stomach, but unfortunately it backfired, a face quickly turned the color of pig liver, his eyes protruded outward, as if he was about to jump out of his sockets, his chest was bulging for a while, and he looked extremely painful and uncomfortable.
