Chapter 116: The Bet
Xu Xianchun is of course quite clear about his situation, as Wei Zhongxian's cronies and the core figure of the eunuch party, he originally had no hope of being able to survive, and he also lived day by day during the days he was imprisoned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Then suddenly one day, he was taken out of prison, got into a carriage, and then began to rush non-stop - no one told him where to go, or what to do, Xu Xianchun once thought that his life had come to an end, the only thing that made him wonder was why the way he was executed was so complicated, as an "insider", Xu Xianchun certainly knew that there were countless ways to do it in prison.
The carriage kept going out of the city, and after walking a long distance, no one was going to kill him, and Xu Xianchun knew that he would not die for the time being. As for the reason why he was taken out of the capital, he didn't think much about it, but he couldn't figure it out, could it be that someone wanted to save himself and planned to take him out of the capital first and then quietly release him? This conjecture only existed in his brain for less than a second before he gave up, because at this point, there was no way that anyone would have the will or ability to save their lives.
Of course, Xu Xianchun couldn't have thought that he would be sent to participate in the trial, since he couldn't figure out the reason for being brought out, Xu Xianchun didn't think about it anymore, anyway, he was also a person who was about to die, how much he loved to toss, just let them go.
After about three or four hours, the carriage finally entered the city, listening to the bustling sound of the city outside the carriage, Xu Xianchun estimated in his heart that he should have been taken to a county on the outskirts of Beijing, it is estimated that it is Wanping, Daxing and the like.
Xu Xianchun's guess was really good, and soon he found out that he was taken to Daxing, and then he was detained in an inn, which seemed to have been fully covered by Jinyiwei, and there were no other guests in Jinyiwei.
Then for another two days, no one came to tell Xu Xianchun what he was brought here for, and no one came to care about his Xu Xianchun's diet and daily life - just starve to death, this is probably the standard of treatment he receives. There are a lot of brocade guards coming in and out every day, all of them seem to be very busy, Xu Xianchun seems to have been forgotten by the brocade guards who brought him here, this situation made Xu Xianchun even want to run away for a while.
However, he quickly gave up this whimsical idea, after all, he is still self-aware, as the backbone of the eunuch party, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there should be no prisoners more important than himself, now the people of Jinyiwei will not let themselves escape easily even if they are straw, and taking care of prisoners is also Xu Xianchun's old job, he naturally knows that the current situation is simply loose on the outside and tight on the inside, as long as he moves slightly, there will definitely be a large group of Jinyiwei who will rush up directly, with his current physical condition, I definitely can't compete with them, and maybe they may be able to directly correct the Fa on the spot.
After two days like this, Xu Xianchun finally waited for someone to come to him, and it was the current commander Luo Yangxing who came in person.
Luo Yangxing didn't say a few words to him, but simply explained two sentences, probably that your sins were unforgivable, but now the emperor is benevolent and has implemented the policy of amnesty to the world, and it just happens to give you a great grace, that is, there are cases that need you to be tried, if you want to live, you can take out some of the skills you used to kill Zhongliang, and let people confess obediently within three days, and it is not impossible to pardon your capital crime at that time.
After saying this, Luo Yangxing asked him to pack up, and he was ready to interrogate the criminal, and then left the room where Xu Xianchun was detained, and he didn't want to be in the same room with Xu Xianchun for a second longer.
Therefore, after Xu Xianchun knew that he still had the possibility of survival, of course he had to go all out to fight for this opportunity, and if he wanted to get this opportunity, he first had to make Du Lao Liu speak by any means.
After reading the confession materials of the previous trial, Xu Xianchun also understood in his heart that this Du Lao Liu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise he would not have given so many Jinyi guards a headache, and even needed to go out by himself. It's just that the trickiness of this Du Lao Liu is still beyond Xu Xianchun's imagination, obviously he has been tortured for so many days, needless to say that ordinary people, even iron-beaten men should not be able to bear it, but this Du Lao Liu can endure it until today, even the well-informed Xu Xianchun is very curious about this person, squatted down, and carefully studied it for a long time, which can be regarded as a feast for his eyes and knowledge.
All in all, if you want to live, you have to make this tricky character confess, and if you want him to confess, it is certainly not something that can be done by just communicating and talking, but by using harsher punishments and more painful torture.
So Xu Xianchun didn't even think about it for a long time and chose a very correct path, although this road is very dangerous to walk, and it is also extremely irresponsible in the eyes of others, Yang Tao and Hu Yun even had a conflict with themselves because of this, but Xu Xianchun knew in his heart that Yang Tao and Hu Yun were bystanders, and he was the authority, because he had no other choice except this method.
As for Yang Tao's later statement of "listening to and respecting", Xu Xianchun can certainly understand the secret, that is, if Du Laoliu can't bear the continuous punishment and dies, all the responsibility will have to be borne by himself, and even all the Jinyi guards can put the responsibility on their own heads, and make some reports with the emperor that "Xu Xianchun has bad intentions and abuses murderers, so that the facts of the case cannot be ascertained" to cover up their incompetence.
But Xu Xianchun didn't have any other choice, anyway, even if he didn't do it, he would still inevitably die. Before he participated in the trial, the other Jinyiwei had fully proved that interrogating Du Laoliu in a conventional way was almost impossible to make him confess honestly, and if he didn't take some excessive behavior, he would definitely not be able to get the result out of the trial within three days, and if he couldn't get the result out, he still wouldn't survive, anyway, he would die, Xu Xianchun made up his mind, gave it a go, and gambled with his life that Du Laoliu's life was not so fragile, and he could hold on until his psychological defense line completely collapsed and he confessed honestly.
Therefore, don't say it's Yang Tao and Hu Yun, even if Luo Yangxing himself comes, Xu Xianchun will not change his mind!
