After meeting Cao Huachun, Zhang Chu returned to the inn and began to arrange the rescue of Sun Yuanhua. After a few days, the investigators have found out that Sun Yuanhua is being held in the prison of Fusi in Jingcheng Town.www.biquge.info The prison of the Pacification Division has always been heavily guarded, and people who have not escaped from this prison for so many years. The people who were locked up inside were all important criminals who were ordered by the emperor himself, so the guards were quite dutiful, and those who came out of there were basically dead.

Zhang Chu locked himself in the house and thought for a long time, because he failed to intercept Sun Yuanhua on the way in time, which made the operation more and more difficult, in history Sun Yuanhua was locked up for a few months before being executed by Emperor Chongzhen, but now there are too many variables, and the possibility that the emperor will kill people in advance cannot be ruled out. The whole operation is going to be accelerated.

After making a simple plan for things, Zhang Chu decided to meet someone first. After changing his outfit, Zhang Chu took his entourage out of the inn, walked around the street a few times, and did not find anyone following him, so he went straight to Qin Tianjian in the capital.

Qin Tianjian is an ancient Chinese national astronomical observatory, which is responsible for observing celestial phenomena and promulgating the calendar. At this time, the Qin Tianjian was on an important task, compiling a calendar for the imperial court. The person in charge of this work was a foreigner, and his name was John Tong.

John Tang, formerly known as Adam Schal, was a Germanic from Cologne, Germany. He came to China for his faith, and at the same time brought with him Western scientific and cultural knowledge. He used science to promote the spread of his faith, and soon received the attention of some people of insight in China at that time, and Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, specially invited him to Beijing to serve in the Qintianjian to be responsible for compiling a new calendar for the Ming Dynasty. John Tang had a deep relationship with Sun Yuanhua, who was a student of Xu Guangqi, and as people with the same beliefs, the two had a good relationship.

What Zhang Chu is looking for this time is John Tang.

Although Tang Ruowang did not have many friends in Beijing, there were often some people who were interested in new knowledge to ask him for advice, so it was not unusual to hear that someone asked to see him, and he immediately invited Zhang Chu in. After the two sides saw that the ceremony was over, Tang Ruowang sat there quietly and waited for Zhang Chu to speak. John Tang and others, who have traveled thousands of miles to spread their faith all over the world, are indeed very adaptable, and they are not only proficient in the local language but also have a good understanding of local etiquette wherever they go.

"I'm here to rescue Mr. Sun Yuanhua." Zhang Chu came up and said bluntly. After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he looked at the Germans in front of him, the influence of the Germans on China in later generations was very huge, and Zhang Chu didn't know if the German in front of him could change history with him.

"Who are you and what is your relationship with Sun Yuanhua?" Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Chu's words, and asked vigilantly.

"I am Mr. Sun's student named Zhang Chu, Mr. Sun suffered from prison, and I asked Mr. Sun to find a way to rescue him." Zhang Chu's deceptive words came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"How can I believe that you are a student of Mr. Sun, what do you have to prove your identity?" John Tang still didn't believe it.

"I learned from Mr. Sun and knew your faith." In the Ming Dynasty, it was not allowed to spread the faith of Tang Ruowang and others in the capital. Zhang Chu decided to start from this aspect in order to gain John Tang's trust. So Zhang Chu began to think back to the feelings in the storybooks he had read, explaining his understanding of the beliefs of Tang Ruowang and others.

Although Tang Ruowang listened to Zhang Chu's explanation, although he was surprised, he also believed that Zhang Chu was a student of Sun Yuanhua. Because although there are many fallacies in what Zhang Chu said, and some places are even shocking, the overall framework is not wrong, which is probably a deviation when Sun Yuanhua was taught, and if there is time in the future, we must find an opportunity to talk to this young man, and we must not let these fallacies spread.

"You see if my statements are correct, besides, pretending to be Mr. Sun's student at this time is not only not beneficial, but also dangerous. Zhang Chu saw that Tang Ruowang's expression changed a little, and finally said.

"I know about Mr. Sun, and the defeat on the battlefield cannot be attributed to one person. However, Mr. Sun's teacher, Xu Guangqi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, should have a way to save him. Sun Yuanhua's case had not yet fermented in the court at this time, and it had not turned into a power struggle, and Tang Ruowang and Xu Guangqi both thought that they could intercede to get the emperor to let Sun Yuanhua go. However, Zhang Chu knew that soon Sun Yuanhua would become a victim of the power struggle between Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty, and Wen Tiren, the cabinet minister, and that just pleading with the emperor would not save Sun Yuanhua's life.

"I just want you to go with me to visit Mr. Sun in prison, so that you can listen to Mr. Sun's confession, so that Mr. Sun can be comforted by his heart." Zhang Chu knew that it would definitely not work to beg the emperor, so he could only rely on himself to find a way to rescue Sun Yuanhua.

"That's a good thing, but how could this jailer let us into prison? Doing his part for his friend and making him feel at ease in prison was what John Tang was willing to do, but he still knew Da Ming very well and knew that it would not be so easy to enter the prison of the Zhenfu Division.

"There is a way that money can make ghosts grind, but I have little wealth, I am willing to use it to dredge up the relationship with my husband, and I can still do it when I visit my husband in prison." Zhang Chu knew that this Tang Ruowang was not a foreigner, but he was still very familiar with the Chinese officialdom, and in the original history, Tang Ruowang had disguised himself and entered the prison to hold a forgiveness ceremony for Sun Yuanhua before Sun Yuanhua was executed. Since he can do it, Zhang Chu can just take advantage of it.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Tang Ruowang finally agreed to Zhang Chu's request, he traveled thousands of miles to China to spread the faith, it was not easy to find people who believed in the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want to lose it so easily. He agreed with Zhang Chu to see him again tomorrow, so he hurriedly went out to find someone to see if there was a way.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chu came to find John Tang with the silver, and the two ran a lot of places in a day, and Zhang Chu's silver also spent a lot, but the other party received the silver but did not say a word accurately, only said to try it. On this day, Zhang Chu fully saw the huge transformation ability of Chinese officialdom, and was able to communicate with a foreigner everywhere to send silver, bribing so naturally, and speaking so tactfully, so that the person who collected the money was not embarrassed at all. It's a wonderful thing.

At the end of the day, there was no result, and John Tang was not very anxious, he knew that the person who was doing the work had to communicate with other people, assess the risks faced, and think about what price to offer. This is not just to buy off one of them, but to benefit everyone involved in this matter, so that everyone will turn a blind eye to the matter of life.

Sure enough, a few days later, Zhang Chu spent more money, and the matter of entering the prison to see people finally came to an eyebrow. The top and bottom of the prison were all cleaned up, and it was agreed that Tang Ruowang, Zhang Chu and others would go to the prison to visit Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua's case has not yet been decided, and if you want to see people, you must not swagger in to see it, but the jailer who received the money has a way. At this time, it was winter, and the winter in Beijing was still very cold, even the prisoners in the prison needed to keep warm, and there were special charcoal trucks to deliver charcoal to the prison every day, and the jailer agreed that Zhang Chu and them would disguise themselves as charcoal delivery workers and sneak into the prison to visit Sun Yuanhua.
