It was said that it was an early dynasty, and Zhou Yanru was really as Wang Chengen expected, and he recovered from his illness and went to court.

After the civil and military officials shouted long live three times, they each returned to two shifts, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Bingbi, stepped forward as usual and shouted in a sharp voice: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat ......"

Wang Chengen's voice fell, and Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, knelt down under the Danqi with his teeth, and sang loudly: "Long live, the minister has this music." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "What did you play? ”

Liu Zongzhou said loudly: "Long live, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, deceived the monarch, withheld food and salary, cronyism, corruption and bribery, connivance and shielding, forcibly occupied private houses, concealed and bullied the subordinates, abused his power, and committed the eight major crimes can be described as a heinous crime. ”

Chen Xinjia's color changed, and he hurriedly retorted: "Liu Zongzhou sprayed people with blood and framed his colleagues, long live don't listen to him." ”

"Hooray." Chen Xinjia's voice fell, and Li Banghua, the right capital, went out to echo and said, "The rules and regulations played by Lord Liu are true and well documented, and the minister also asked Long Live to remove Chen Xinjia from the title of secretary of the military department and send it to the criminal department for punishment!" ”

"Long live, Chen Xinjia's crime is unforgivable, and he should be severely punished."

"Long live, please immediately dismiss Chen Xinjia and investigate it to set an example."

"Long live, the minister has ironclad evidence to prove that Chen Xinjia has accepted bribes from Wang Pu......"

"Long live, the minister also has ironclad evidence to prove that Chen Xinjia forcibly occupied the house......"

As soon as Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua finished speaking, the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Branch, and the Thirteenth Dao flew out like hornets that had blown up their nests, and for a while, the hall was full of voices condemning Chen Xinjia, poor Chen Xinjia only had one mouth, how could he argue with these imperial historians?

In just a moment, Chen Xinjia was already speechless by the questioning.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, watching the performance of His Royal Highness and the ministers coldly but did not say a word, just when the Qingliu people thought that they would win the victory, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, suddenly walked out of the queue slowly, bowed down and played: "Long live, the minister Zhou Yanru has a play." ”

The hall became silent in an instant, and the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on Zhou Yanru in unison, obviously, the ministers of the Qing School led by Liu Zongzhou and Chen Xinjia did not expect Zhou Yanru to play at this time, only Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Chongzhen said expressionlessly: "What did Zhou Aiqing play? ”

Zhou Yanru said unhurriedly: "The results of the three-hall trial have been completed, the bearded man of Datong Qianzong has indeed been to Liaodong, and what Wang Zongbing said is true, that is to say, Wang Zongbing's resistance to the decree and robbery of the law field is indeed for a reason, although this move is a great rebellion, but the minister thinks that it is excusable, and I implore Long Live to take back his life and pardon Wang Zongbing's capital crime!" ”

"Huh?"

"This ......"

"Pardon Wang Pu's capital crime?"

Zhou Yanru's voice fell, and the ministers of the Qing school changed color, but Chen Xinjia was overjoyed! Zhou Yanru played long live pardoning Wang Pu's capital crime, undoubtedly in solidarity with Chen Xinjia! Now everyone knows that Chen Xinjia and Wang Pu are grasshoppers on the same rope, as long as Wang Pu is fine, Liu Zongzhou and others will not be able to help him Chen Xinjia.

"Please take back your life and pardon the capital crime of General Soldier Wang!"

"Long live, the minister also thinks that Wang Zongbing's crime will not lead to death."

"Long live, the bearded case has come to light, and there is a reason why Mr. Wang first resisted the decree and then robbed the law field."

Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Wang Xiyan, Jiang Dejing, Ni Yuanlu, Wei Zhaocheng, Fu Zonglong, and the military department all gave Gong Dingxin and other protégés of Zhou Yanru to echo the incident.

The most intriguing thing is that it is the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen.

Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua, these ministers of the Qing school finally reacted, and when they were just about to go out to refute, Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly brushed his sleeves away, and it seemed that he was angered by the ministers' invitation, but Zhou Yanru knew that Emperor Chongzhen had actually approved his performance.

Vegetable market, law field.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, an unprecedented torture will be staged here, the chief Taiji of Jiannunu, the prince of Jiannuli Daishan, and the general of Datong Wang Pu will be sentenced to death here at the same time, the governor's office of the five armies and the soldiers and horses of the five cities who are in charge of the order of the law field are like facing the enemy, and the two thousand officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion have entered the law field early to fortify.

The common people of the four miles and eight towns have poured into the Beijing Division, and thousands of empty alleys in Yanjing City are vying to witness this unprecedented and unprecedented punishment through the ages, they are not only happy to kill the emperor Taiji, but also feel indignant at the live killing of Wang Pu, because since ancient times, no one has been as unlucky as Wang Pu, and he actually has to be punished on the same spot with the enemy chief he captured, and it is still a punishment!

Just after the hour, the two teams of Jinyi guards escorted three prisoner cars out of the Daming Gate, and the onlookers crowded on both sides of the long street suddenly became fanatical, competing to throw the sundries in their hands at Huang Taiji and Dai Shan's prisoner car, and Wang Pu, who was sitting in the first prisoner car, also poured blood mold.

Many people didn't know who Wang Pu was and who was Huang Taiji, so they greeted them indiscriminately.

Scarface, Xiao Qi and more than a dozen family members were mixed in the onlookers, seeing Wang Pu being besieged by the onlookers, Scarface was furious, and he was about to turn over and draw the knife, but was held down by Xiao Qi next to him: "Scarface, calm down, Mr. Zhen said that he already has a way, we must not make a branch at this time!" ”

■■■

The camp outside the city, Wang Pu's tent.

A good Nanmu coffin has been quietly placed in the tent, in the light footsteps, Chen Yuanyuan Lianbu Shanshan walked out of the back tent, Chen Yuanyuan obviously went through some careful makeup, painted Emei, painted red lips, and put on a red wedding dress, which looked particularly delicate and charming.

The two housekeepers opened the lid of the coffin with a gloomy expression, and then turned and walked out of the tent.

Chen Yuanyuan said a blessing to the outside of the tent as a thanks, and then gently stepped into the coffin, next to the coffin is the case, there is an hourglass on the case, and when the sand in the hourglass is finished, it should be three o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Yuanyuan should also follow Wang Pu "on the road".

■■■

Vegetable market, law field.

Wang Pu, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan have been tied to the execution pillar, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan are tied very tightly, but Wang Pu is tied very loosely, obviously, even if it is the same punishment, there is a difference, an experienced executioner can make a prisoner suffer a thousand knives without dying, and can also make a prisoner die with a single knife.

When death comes, there is a difference between people.

Dai Shan was already crying in fright, Wang Pu closed his eyes and waited for death, but Huang Taiji was still in the mood to say some cool words to Wang Pu: "Wang Pu, Wang Pu, take a good look, this is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom that you are loyal to!" You destroyed Shengjing and captured me, but he wants to cut you and me with a thousand knives, is he worthy of your allegiance to such an emperor? ”

Wang Pu had nothing to say, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"It's a pity." Huang Taiji shook his head and sighed, "If you had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, I would have dared to assert that you would be a general who had set foot in the Central Plains and conquered the Ming Dynasty, and you would become the founding father of the Qing Dynasty and be admired by future generations forever!" But now, you are going to be choked alive on the Dharma field like me, don't you feel wronged? ”

Wang Pu still had nothing to say.

Huang Taiji continued: "Song has Yue Fei, Ming has Yu Qian, you Wang Pu is not the first loyal general to be unjustly killed, and will never be the last, but Wang Pu have you thought about it?" You are loyal to the country and gallop on the battlefield for the country, but why did you end up like this? Why is that? ”

In the end, Huang Taiji was already yelling at the onlookers and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were in charge of the order of the law field: "This is because the Ming State is in charge of destroying the ministers, and the party is fighting against each other, and they use all their thoughts to deal with their own people!" Such a country will perish sooner or later, and it is not worthy of your allegiance......"

Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of the left capital, couldn't bear it, so he had to order Huang Taiji's mouth to be blocked.

In the crowd of onlookers, Zhen Youcai, Xiao Qi and more than a dozen family members were already so nervous that their foreheads were sweating, seeing that it was about to arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no movement in the direction of the noon gate, could it be that Long Live Lord was really determined to kill the general? All their efforts, including the 200,000 taels of silver sent to the Zhou Mansion, the Tian Mansion, and the eunuch Wang Chengen's Mansion, were they really spent in vain?

Only Scarface looked calm, and the sharp willow leaf dart had already slipped down the sleeve into the palm of his hand! If the hour has passed and the "rescuer" that Zhen Youcai is looking forward to has not appeared, then he will not hesitate to rob the law field to save people, as for whether he can save Wang Pu, and how to kill Yanjing City after saving Wang Pu, Scarface has not thought about it and is too lazy to think about it!
