Zhu Youzhen finally spoke.

"There are too many doubts in this matter, and I also want to find out thoroughly, Tang Aiqing, order Dali Temple, escort the prisoners to the Yangxin Palace, Sun Aiqing, Wang Gonggong, you interrogate, I want to see for myself."

The prisoner was quickly escorted, full of red light, probably did not expect to enter the palace, and when he saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was a little confused, although he was separated by a certain distance, but Zhu Youzhen smelled the smell of alcohol, and it seemed that this prisoner was treated well.

Tang Shiji stood aside with his hands down, without the slightest expression on his face, he had nothing to worry about, after a few days of interrogation, this prisoner was already clear, what to say and what not to say.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen looked at the prisoner, and also looked at Sun Chengzong, and spoke slowly.

"You are the head of the Houjin Household Department, what do you do on weekdays?"

"I am the head of the household department, but I am mainly responsible for contacting Lord Su Tiancheng, the Liao Governor of Daming Ji."

"Oh, you said that Ning Yuan was closely monitored and couldn't deliver letters, so he came directly to the capital and contacted Lord Su's mansion, is that true?"

"Yes, Ningyuan City is well defended, I have no chance, so I have to come to the capital."

"How many times have you been to the capital?"

"I've been here four times."

"Who do you see from Su Mansion every time?"

"What I saw was Lord Su's housekeeper, it is said to be Su Pingyang, I am not very familiar with it, and I don't know if Lu Dao is called Su Pingyang."

"Have you seen it every time?"

"Joke, if I don't see Su Pingyang, my information can't be passed on, it's definitely not good."

"Then describe what Su Pingyang looks like."

The prisoner lowered his head, not knowing what to say. The previous words have already been spoken, and it is inappropriate to say that I can't describe it, but if I want to describe it, I really can't say it.

"I can't describe it, but I see me. You'll be able to recognize it. ”

Wang Chengen whispered a few words to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and soon, a little eunuch came in, and after Wang Chengen whispered an order, the little eunuch nodded and went out.

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen people came in.

"Su Pingyang is in the middle of these people, can you point it out?"

The prisoner was a little flustered and looked at the dozen or so people in front of him. I searched through memory and pointed to one of the older ones.

"He looks a little similar to this person, but I can't remember the specific appearance."

Zhu Youzhen's face changed, these dozen or so people are all Jinyiwei, and their appearance is not close to Su Pingyang at all, Su Pingyang is in his fifties, because he is too hardworking. The beard and hair are all white, and Zhu Youzhen has seen it. It should be said that physiognomic features are easy to remember.

Shame and anger surged into Zhu Youzhen's heart.

Ashamed, he came up with a lot of strange thoughts, doubting Su Tiancheng, the lesson of the master, he remembered very clearly, such a thing happened. The fear in my heart is many, even insurmountable, so that I think about it crankily, and what is angry is that the emperor Taiji sent someone casually. can fool themselves, make the monarch and the minister discordant, and almost make a storm, such a thing, if the influence is expanded, I don't know what kind of ending the road will become, and today this matter is out of the road, and I don't know what the emperor Taiji of the Houjin of the road looks like when he smiles.

Zhu Youzhen, who was extremely angry, opened his mouth to speak.

"I see that you are not ashamed to speak loudly, you don't understand any rules, do you think that all the civil and military officials of my Ming Dynasty are wood, and you are teased by this little man, come here, take this person down, and Ling Chi will be executed."

Zhu Youzhen's words are holy decrees, of course they must be executed, and the taste of Ling Chi's execution is clear to the prisoner, and at this time, the prisoner suddenly burst out with a sentence.

"It's all this Lord Tang who taught me to say this."

Inside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was quiet in an instant.

Zhu Youzhen's face began to turn pale, and the feeling of being fooled stimulated his heart.

Tang Shiji's body also began to tremble, pointing at the person kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't even speak, this is in the Heart Cultivation Palace, in front of the emperor, the prisoner said this, and he didn't have a chance to argue with his face, the funny thing is that Sun Chengzong had already said such a possibility before, if he continued to come out with a Houjin Tartar and falsely accuse him Sun Chengzong, is it also a foreign country.

This was tantamount to a resounding slap in Tang Shiji's face.

However, at this time, Sun Chengzong was still very calm and watched the prisoner speak.

"Just say it, what else do you want to say, even if it is fabricated, does this official also have any connection with you, how many benefits did Huang Taiji give you, I'm afraid the silver is enough to feed your family, don't you worry, how can my Ming Dynasty not investigate clearly, you think that if you work hard for Huang Taiji, your family will be able to live a good life, you must know that my Da Ming Ji Liao Governor Su is brave, and the emperor will go down with a holy decree, do you think your family can still live, do you know what it means that Ling Chi was executed, it was the crime of exterminating the nine clans."

Sun Chengzong's words came out, the body of the prisoner began to tremble, and a frightened look appeared on his face, if it was often these Ming Dynasty officials, he would not have much fear, but Su Tiancheng, who was stationed in Liaodong, he was really afraid, such a thing, Su Tiancheng would definitely be able to do it, he came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty this time, he didn't think that he would be able to live, the silver taels given by Lord Fan Wencheng were enough to feed his family, and he was not an official of the imperial court, a pure scoundrel.

Seeing that everyone's body began to tremble, Sun Chengzong continued to speak.

"If you confess honestly, and the emperor reads that you tell the truth, maybe he won't pursue your family, otherwise, no matter where your family is, next year will be their memorial day."

The prisoner finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke tremblingly.

"I, I don't know anything, I'm just eating on the street, I don't know anything, Lord Fan wants me to do this, these things have nothing to do with my family......"

The inside of the Heart Cultivation Hall fell silent.

Sun Chengzong and Tang Shiji both left, and Wang Chengen was still standing behind Zhu Youzhen.

The scene that happened just now gave Zhu Youzhen a lot of stimulation, he thought of not only the calculations of Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng, but what people would do for them, a simplest and funny plan, it made him believe, I am afraid that Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng did not expect to be effective, people just mobilized a scoundrel to come to death, which is equivalent to buying the life of this scoundrel with silver, and the funny thing is that he really believed a little bit.

"Princess, isn't my performance today very bad?"

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't see it that way, it's normal for the emperor to be worried, Lord Su guards the border and holds great power, if there is any change, it will have a huge impact on my Daming, and when I encounter such a thing, it's good to figure it out."

"You are opening up for me, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng used such clumsy means, I almost had to believe it, Su Aiqing captured Montenegro, but did not attack, I also felt doubtful, so I believed in these tricks, I thought, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng probably didn't have any hope, I feel ashamed."

Wang Chengen couldn't stand still, pounced, and knelt down behind Zhu Youzhen.

"The emperor works hard every day, the slaves and maids look distressed, there are so many things in the court that need to be dealt with, the emperor must ensure the dragon body."

As he said these words, Wang Chengen burst into tears.

Zhu Youzhen turned around and helped Wang Chengen up, sighed, and did not speak.

After the rest, Sun Chengzong, who returned to the mansion, was about to rest, when the housekeeper suddenly came to report, saying that Lord Tang Shiji had come to visit, and Sun Chengzong hurriedly went to the reception room.

Seeing Sun Chengzong come in, Tang Shiji hurriedly bowed.

"Xia Guan is abrupt today, he was deceived by a miserly villain, he is ashamed, if it weren't for the adults to wake up, the Xia Guan would have made a big mistake, I can't imagine that Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng are so treacherous, I want to provoke the relationship between my Ming monarch and minister, the adults are broad-minded, and the Xia Guan has to learn more, and the Xia Guan is ashamed of the teachings of the adults."

"Lord Tang, you don't have to be like this, you are also unintentional, dedicated to the court, since Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng did this, it means that they are indeed afraid of Lord Su, this is my great fortune."

Tang Shiji shook his head slightly.

"It's not easy for the lower officials to face Lord Su, Lord Su guards Liaodong, so hard, but the lower officials are blindly suspicious, and the lower officials themselves are difficult to forgive, and the next day I will ask the adults to say a few good words for the lower officials, and the lower officials will personally ask Lord Su for their guilt."

"Lord Tang, today's matter is actually a good thing, and the emperor has also seen it clearly, in the future, no matter what method Huang Taiji thinks, it will be difficult to separate the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Lord Su is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, how can he easily suffer from injustice, as long as the emperor can trust Lord Su, Lord Su and Liaodong will be able to resist the enemy with peace of mind."

Tang Shiji also did not understand.

"My lord, there is something unclear about the lower officials, since Lord Su has captured Montenegro, why can't he be stationed, such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity to lose it."

"This matter has also been carefully considered by the official, you can come and see."

On the wall of the living room, there is a map.

"Montenegro is more than 100 miles away from Dalinghe City, more than 300 miles away from Shenyang, from Montenegro to Shenyang, there is almost no dangerous place to rely on, if Lord Su occupies Montenegro, how will Huang Taiji respond, will he watch Lord Su occupy Montenegro, I'm afraid it is impossible, according to this official, Huang Taiji will recapture Montenegro desperately, so I will inevitably start a large-scale decisive battle with Houjin, this is an inevitable situation, Lord Su must have thought of these aspects, now is not the time for a decisive battle."

Tang Shiji nodded repeatedly.

Sun Chengzong continued to speak.

"Lord Su attacked Montenegro, the real purpose is actually to relieve the danger of Dengzhou and Laizhou, this is the most direct way, not to prepare to attack Shenyang, if Dolgon still wantonly raids Dengzhou and Laizhou, and even coerces my Ming Jingshi, presumably Lord Su will do his best to attack Shenyang, Huang Taiji understands this truth, so he withdraws his troops, this is the tacit understanding between Lord Su and Huang Taiji, both of them are heroes."
