Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Effect of the Gathering of Virtuous Orders
Although it was a small talk, Yun Zhongtang's expression was not relaxed at all, but became more solemn, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Father-in-law, the three elder brothers are all rare talents, no matter which one they areγγγγγγ β
"Zhongtang!" Gongsun stopped interrupting what Yunzhong Tang said, and stared at him for a long time: "There are only you and me in the study today, and I won't test you anymore!" The old man knows that my three uncompetitive sons can't assume the position of the next head of the Gongsun family, so I called you here today just to ask you to promise me one thing! I will definitely save your brother Zhonghe! β
As soon as Yunzhong Tang heard this, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!" When he is released from prison in the middle of the day, his son-in-law will definitely bring him to the door to thank him! β
Gongsun stopped: "Don't hurry up and thank you first, what the old man wants you to do, you may not be able to do it!" β
Yun Zhongtang was stunned, and said bluntly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, as long as Zhonghe has nothing to do, no matter who the head of the Gongsun family is in the future, the son-in-law will definitely try his best to assist!" β
Gongsun Zhi's face changed completely, he looked at Yunzhong Tang, and said secretly: This son's mind is not under King Ming and Shi Jin, just based on my words, he actually guessed my mind, fortunately, my Gongsun family will really rely on him in the future.
Showing a loving smile, Gongsun stopped and said, "Zhongtang! I haven't seen your parents for a long time, pick a time, call your parents, and let's get together as a family! β
"Yes! The son-in-law must convey it to his father! Yun Zhongtang replied respectfully.
"That's it!" Gongsun Zhi achieved his goal, so he got up and wrote a letter on the bookcase, folded it a few times, put it in an envelope and handed it to Yun Zhongtang: "You take this letter to King Ming's mansion, I think King Ming should release people!" β
Yun Zhongtang got the letter, finally saw a glimmer of hope, saluted respectfully again, and then went to the Ming Palace.
On the other hand, Ning Shaoqiu finally recovered some of his spirits after making up for a sleep, and after eating two bites of food, he heard the maid tell him that Wei Chigong had come just now, saying that the thief last night had confessed to the main messenger behind the scenes, and Yun Zhonghe had also been arrested in prison.
Hearing this, Ning Shaoqiu didn't wait for the food to be swallowed from his mouth, so he sent someone to go to the Daimyo's Mansion with him.
To his surprise, it was already this time, and the queue outside the Daimyo's Mansion was still not shortening, but was getting longer and longer.
When everyone saw Ning Shaoqiu coming, they all greeted him, and responded one by one, Ning Shaoqiu walked to the front of the literary platform, and said angrily at the two soldiers sitting there: "You can't do this!" How long will it take for so many people to wait for you? Who is leading the way? Let's talk to you guys, get the punishment yourself, add a few more tables like this, speed up a bit, and get some food for everyone! Don't starve the guys! β
After quickly ordering a lot of things, Ning Shaoqiu said to the people in the long row: "Everyone has worked hard!" The people under his hands don't know how to do things, everyone take care of it a little more, and this king is here to compensate everyone! β
As he spoke, he bowed to them and apologized.
When the people saw Ning Shaoqiu bowing to them, the original grievances were suddenly gone, and they all said that it was okay, it didn't matter, it was nothing anyway!
After chatting with the people for a while, the two soldiers finally did everything he said, and Ning Shaoqiu walked towards the Daimyo's mansion.
Anxious about what the people are anxious about, Ning Shaoqiu is trying to turn it into a subconscious reaction.
Entering the inner hall, Yu Sibao and Wei Chigong were full of tiredness, and they seemed to be eating at the moment! Seeing that Ning Shaoqiu was coming, they hurriedly got up and greeted them.
"How?" Ning Shaoqiu looked at the two of them, his eyes full of anticipation.
Yu Sibao said excitedly: "That gang of thieves confessed, and the person who instructed them was Shi Jin, and they also had a secret letter of contact between Zhu Wuneng and Shi Jin, and these evidences are enough for us to arrest him!" β
When Ning Shaoqiu heard this, he was also shocked, and rubbed his hands happily, last night's danger was not in vain!
Commanding thieves to attack the Ming Palace, needless to say, it must be a capital crime! And this can definitely be punished as a felony for the Nine Clans. When the time comes, neither Ishizu nor Ishikuan will want to run.
I finally saw the hope of uprooting the great scourge of Shifu.
As soon as Shifu fell, the remaining three families already had a gap, plus he still had Wei Hezhong's card, so he was not afraid of the union of the three families at all.
The revival of Lizhou City may have really begun from this moment!
"Then then, as long as you catch Shi Jin, you can confront him!" Thinking in his heart, Ning Shaoqiu didn't dare to be careless, and ordered: "Give me all the evidence, and then separate this group of thieves and detain them, and send additional people to guard the prison, in case someone from the Shi family wants to kill them, there are many masters under Shi Jin's hands!" β
Yu Sibao said: "These have already been arranged, I have arranged half of the defenders in the city into prison, ten steps and one soldier, I believe that even a fly can't fly in!" β
"You have arranged so many people in prison, is there enough people for the city defense and patrol of Lizhou City?" Ning Shaoqiu said curiously: "Don't care about one or the other!" The safety of the people in the city should come first! β
Yu Sibao smiled and became excited again: "His Royal Highness King Ming doesn't know, as soon as your recruitment order was issued in the morning, nearly six hundred people have joined the Daimyo Mansion as of now, and many of these people are the former defenders of Lizhou City, and some of them are still the elite troops of the year, you can rest assured!" Surely there will be no loss of one or the other! β
Ning Shaoqiu was also overjoyed when he heard this, he really didn't expect the effect of the recruitment order to be so good, and finally asked to catch Shi Jin.
Let them not startle the snake for the time being, let Shi Jin mistakenly think that it is best for this group of thieves to confess yet, and wait until it gets dark, and go to Shifu to arrest people by night!
Yu Sibao and Wei Chigong both felt reasonable, so they were not in a hurry to gather soldiers to capture Shijin.
After talking about these things, Ning Shaoqiu's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is the crane in the clouds locked up?" Take me to see it! β
Wei Chi Gong said: "When I informed you, I had already let people lock me up in the interrogation room, and I would be tied up at this time!" β
Wei Chigong said as he led Ning Shaoqiu to the interrogation room.
The interrogation room of the Ming Dynasty is naturally different from the modern interrogation room with one table and two chairs, and it is better to call it an interrogation room, rather than a confession room. Various tools for torturing people can be seen, such as tiger chairs, chili oil, stoves, leather whips, etc., which are relatively common.
More permeable clippers, steel nail boards, etc., are also piled up in the corners.
The crane in the cloud had already been beaten to the ground at this time, and when he heard the movement at the door, his body instinctively shook, and his face was full of fear when he looked at the comer.
"Please! Please spare me! I don't dare anymore! The crane in the cloud was tied to the cross, and he could only nod his head and beg for mercy.
Ning Shaoqiu's eyes were full of indifference when he looked at him: "What? Do you know scared? β
