Chapter Thirty-Six: Rather Finish Me and Aobai
Although Ning Wan and I are cunning and abnormal, I even did not hesitate to kill Sun Zhiqi and Zhang Yong in order not to be recognized by Dongchang as Ning Wan me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But he would never have thought that as a secret service that is good at solving problems with violence, he would not let him go because he didn't know who he was.
The seventeen people arrested from the Castle Peak Hall that day have not been released from the prison until now, and they are tortured and interrogated every day, but there is not a single hiccup.
Ning Wan I didn't expect things to develop like this, he thought that with the pressure of the eight Jin merchants, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, would let him go and the sixteen Jin merchants who were arrested with him.
But after waiting for so long, there was no news that they were going to be released, and even more and more people were arrested, and he also saw that Fan Yongdou was also arrested.
Ning Wan, I didn't realize until this time that I might have thought of this Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao too simply from the beginning, and he probably never intended to compromise with anyone.
At this time, Ning Wan I had already been beaten all over my body, but he still didn't admit that he was Ning Wan me, and the Jindi merchants who were arrested with him also suffered such a crime with him.
Ning Wan I didn't feel the slightest guilt because of this, but he was very excited, and he was happy to see that these Dongchang fans were so angry that they couldn't find out their appearance.
On this day, Ning Wan didn't remember that this was the first time he was tortured, it didn't matter, these were very light compared to Ling Chi after he was discovered, and he even wished that he would be tortured to death directly.
But these Dongchang fanzi were very measured when they were tortured, which led to him not being able to die and not being able to survive.
However, just when he was unkempt and dragged away in the deep prison by Dongchang Fanzi, listening to countless screams, he saw a man in a yellow robe walk in.
This person is Zhu Youxiao.
It was the first time for Zhu Youxiao to enter this kind of edict filled with the smell of rotten meat and blood, he couldn't help but cover his nose, looking at the countless scarred court officials or important prisoners, Zhu Youxiao realized that as a generation of emperors, he could create such a terrifying place.
But sometimes politics is so cruel that if you don't do it, your fate will be worse than that of the people in this prison.
"Your Majesty, this is the place where the officials with less criminal responsibility are imprisoned, and then there are important clues to the serious crimes of the court and the strict interrogation, and there is a layer of secret room iron prison below, and the most important prisoners are imprisoned, and now only one Ao Bai is locked inside."
Wang Chengen explained while taking Zhu Youxiao inside.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and sighed: "It's really a hellish existence here, from now on, except for the Donglin Party officials and the leading figures of the Eight Jin Merchants, as well as the Ao Bai and the seventeen Jin Merchants who have not yet determined who Ning Wan me, they will all be exiled to Liaodong or other places for labor reform, how to operate, and then negotiate a charter." “
Zhu Youxiao said, and an official with a bloody face suddenly knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao, and kept kowtowing: "The criminal minister Chen Xianqing asks Your Majesty for peace, please forgive Your Majesty for the crime of killing the king!" “
Chen Xianqing?
Zhu Youxiao remembered that this person was the imperial historian Chen Xianqing who liked to scold himself in the court, and was finally arrested for participating in the assassination of himself.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but snort: "As a courtier, hiding evil intentions, it is really in vain for you to read those four books and five classics, it is okay to spare your life, but your life is inevitable." ”
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Chengen to register these Donglin Party officials who were imprisoned like Chen Xianqing, and prepare for labor reform.
"Your Majesty, the seventeen people in this were arrested in the Qingshan Guild Hall, but who is Ning Wan me, I haven't been tried yet, it is despicable and incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!"
Wang Chengen said.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, didn't care about this, just smiled: "In this case, bring my mother Ning Wan and let her identify it." ”
"My mother? How does he know that I still have my mother in the gate", Ning Wan I subconsciously raised my head slightly, but immediately realized that this Zhu Youxiao might be cheating on himself, but it was too late, Zhu Youxiao immediately pointed at him: "Ning Wan, I am him!" ”
After Zhu Youxiao shouted, he couldn't help sneering, and looked at me Ning Wan: "What a cunning traitor, if I hadn't known earlier that you still had an old mother, and deliberately deceived you, I am afraid that I will really let you escape the punishment of Ling Chi, but the sky net is restored and negligent, you betray the Ming Dynasty and your ancestors, even if you are cunning, you will not be able to escape punishment." ”
Ning Wan, my whole body sat down on the ground with weak legs, and didn't say anything.
Zhu Youxiao, who revealed who was Ning Wan's me, was not in the mood to chat with this big traitor, but went directly to the secret room and iron prison below.
When the iron prison was opened, Zhu Youxiao saw Ao Bai who was locked in the iron prison, Ao Bai was not punished, but he was locked in a place where there was no one in the dark sky, which more or less made his face a little haggard.
"You're Aobai?"
Zhu Youxiao half-bent over and looked at the bearded man and asked.
Ao Bai suddenly shook the iron cage frantically: "Shi can not be killed, if you want to kill, you have to ask for convenience, you don't need to pretend here!" ”
"I didn't pretend, I just wanted to see if the legendary Baturu was really not afraid of death", Zhu Youxiao said and pulled out a knife from the hand of a Dongchang fanzi, and then ordered: "Control his right hand!" ”
"Yes!"
The two Dongchang fans directly pulled Aobai's arm out of the iron cage.
Zhu Youxiao directly cut the artery on his arm, and then drops of blood flowed to the ground.
Seeing this, Ao Bai wanted to struggle, but because he was crowded in an iron cage, he couldn't exert much strength, so he could only watch his blood flow out.
"I give you two choices, either just watch yourself bleed and die, or take refuge in my Daming and serve me, rest assured, you were a Houjin courtier in the past, and the crime you committed against my Daming was just under the command of Huang Taiji, I can not blame the past, and if it weren't for Nurhachi's rebellion, you are now considered the people of Daming, and it is normal to be loyal to me.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao threw away the knife, he turned around and left.
In fact, he had the intention of recruiting him from the beginning of capturing Aobai alive, and at this time, Houjin, like Daming, did not have much strong national consciousness.
Aobai, who is only a middle- and lower-class Tartar, has no consciousness that he must be loyal to the Houjin, so Zhu Youxiao feels that since the Houjin Emperor Taiji has attracted the Han people to be traitors, why don't he also win over the Manchus to be traitors.
Ao Bai didn't speak, watching his blood continue to flow drop by drop, he was also a little panicked in his heart.
It wasn't until Zhu Youxiao was about to walk out of the cell that he shouted weakly: "Ao Bai is incompetent, please take him in." ”
