Chapter 177: Coerced Confession

The Jinyi Guard, who was beaten away by Li Dingguo, came to the door, joined up with the other companions, and told the matter, and the hundred households were furious, and they flocked in with a group of Jinyi Guards.

The subordinates in Zhang Xianzhong's mansion were all arranged by Cao Huachun at the beginning, and they were not the thugs under Zhang Xianzhong's command, where would these people stop them, they all flashed to the side, and there was no lack of Cao Huachun's eyeliner planted by them, seeing this situation, he quickly slipped out of the mansion and hurriedly informed Cao's father-in-law.

Jin Yiwei entered the backyard of the mansion and found that Zhang Xianzhong and others were no longer there, so he inquired about the people in the mansion and learned that they had escaped from the backyard. Baihu chased out of the back door, but he didn't find Zhang Xianzhong, so he had to go back to the command to restore his life.

When Luo Yangxing heard that Zhang Xianzhong was not caught, he was furious and rewarded the hundred households with a few loud slaps. However, fortunately, other subordinates did not disappoint him, such as Zhang Dali, Wu Guoxiong, Ma Jinzhong, Liu Jiusi, Xue Rengui and other generals, who were captured one by one.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong, these people are much easier to bluff, as soon as they saw Jinyiwei coming to the door, they were startled, and they didn't dare to resist too much, so they were captured. At first, he was still yelling, but he was soon gagged and brought back to the commanding envoy.

Seeing that most of them were captured, Luo Yangxing's face finally showed joy. Horizontal and vertical is not worse than you Zhang Xianzhong, first interrogate the arrested, and judge the confession, and you can still nail Yue Su to death.

"Ascension!"

Luo Yangxing commanded, and he was now directing the envoy to ascend to the hall. Jin Yiwei brought a group of generals to the hall, and he was not polite, and when he raised his foot, he kicked people to the ground one after another.

"Why arrest us!" "Yes, we have always obeyed the law and have not committed anything, so why should we be arrested?" "Lord Yue said that he will ensure that we are rich, as long as we don't cause trouble, we will be peaceful for the rest of our lives!" ……

"What a shout! This is the Jinyiwei lobby, it makes sense to catch you here! Be honest with me, or else I will blame Ben for being unkind to you! Luo Yangxing exclaimed.

The name of Jinyiwei is known to the whole world, and this group of generals is now in Beijing, and when they see Jinyiwei, they are inevitably a little afraid. Seeing Luo Yang's majestic drinking, he was suddenly dumb. It took a long time before someone said, "My lord, since you said that it makes sense to arrest us here, then please tell us what is it for?" ”

"Let me ask you, since you have accepted the court's recruitment, why don't you confiscate the money and goods you looted in the past?" Luo Yangxing asked loudly.

"This ...... At that time, Lord Yue didn't say that he would confiscate these belongings......" Zhang Dali said.

Yes, if Yue Su had said so at the beginning, it is estimated that these people would be in a hurry, and they would not have returned to the imperial court if they were killed. And it's not just them, it's impossible for other generals to surrender.

"I knew it was his Yue Su's ghost! What promises did Yue Su make to you? Luo Yangxing asked coldly.

"Lord Yue and we are allied by blood, saying that they are rich and noble with us." Zhang Dali said truthfully. After saying this, he also wanted to pull Yue Su up, relying on Yue Su's name, it is estimated that no one in the capital should dare to provoke them.

"It turns out that Yue Su is still allied with you by blood, you are honest." Luo Yangxing grinned with satisfaction, and he was a little more confident in his chest, and then asked: "Then the governor will ask you again, has this Yue Su discussed with you, and wants you to rebel with him in the future, and when he becomes the emperor, he will definitely give you high-ranking officials?" ”

"Ah......h

Hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then, the big guys shook their heads together and said, "There is no such thing!" "Never!" ……

"No, do you think that Bendu is a three-year-old child? Yue Su has no reason, why do you want to make a blood alliance with you, he is just a first-class member, and he is the second assistant of the dynasty, if there is no reason, how can he look down on your grass cowards! The Governor now gives you a chance, and if you are truthfully invited, the Governor can also intercede with Your Majesty and spare you your life, and if you don't know how to lift up, don't blame the Governor for using a great punishment on you! I think you should have heard of the punishment of our Jinyi Guard! Luo Yangxing's eyes narrowed and shouted loudly. …,

"Not really! When the blood alliance was made, there was a Gonggong Cao of the Imperial Horse Prison who was also present, and he drank blood wine with everyone. "Yes, Gonggong Cao was also present at that time, and he and Lord Yue made a bloody alliance with us, only saying that they would ensure that we would be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and there was no rebellion at all." "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can find Gonggong Cao to come and confront you." ……

These people suddenly remembered Cao Huachun, so they showed his name one after another.

"This matter even involves Cao Huachun...... "Luo Yangxing couldn't help but gasp, let him take Cao Huachun into custody now, borrow his eight guts, he didn't dare. If you want to take charge of Gonggong Cao, you must at least show the holy decree, otherwise, the gang of people who go will not be beaten to death by Gonggong Cao. But then again, if Luo Yangxing can't get the holy decree, no one will dare to go to this group of brocade guards under his hands.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yangxing said: "It turns out that Cao Huachun also colluded with Yue Su and is ready to plot to usurp the throne, okay, wait for the governor to judge you first, and then ask for the order to capture Cao Huachun." ”

"Smack!" After speaking, Luo Yangxing slapped the table heavily, and then said loudly: "Say! What benefits did Yue Su promise to let you rebel with him! ”

"Lord Yue didn't say that let's rebel with him......"

Everyone also knows that rebellion is a capital crime, and now it is in the city of Beijing, no more than at the beginning, if this is admitted, it must not be lost. Don't say no, even if there is, they can't recruit it.

"Okay, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Someone! Luo Yangxing stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Dali, who was kneeling in the front row, and shouted: "Drag him out for me and serve him well!" ”

"Yes!"

The voice settled, and immediately four brocade guards came over and dragged Zhang Dali aside.

Ordinary yamen trials, generally speaking, are first beaten with a board, and then the punishment is increased little by little, but the yamen of Jinyiwei is usually not used to illness, and the emphasis is on one step, no matter how hard the man enters, he has to confess honestly. Historically, there are only a handful of people who can taste all the eighteen kinds of torture tools in the Jinyi Guard Yamen and not recruit them.

Zhang Dali was brought to the side, and soon a brocade guard brought a bench, which was long and wide enough for one person to lie on. However, on top of this stool, there are nails all the way, and the tips of the nails are pointing upwards, emitting a cold light, which makes people feel furious when they see it.

The four brocade guards directly lifted Zhang Dali up, and then spread it on the bench.

"Ahh

Lying down on the stool, the person was immediately stabbed and screamed in pain, but this was only the opening statement, and the good show was still to come. Four brocade guards pressed Zhang Dali, followed by two more brocade guards stepped forward and tied Zhang Dali with ropes. Once tied, begin to tighten the rope slowly.

People and stools are tied together, the tighter the rope is tightened, the deeper the nails are pierced, and the places where they are pierced begin to bleed uncontrollably, and this kind of torture can even make people bleed to death. Where did Zhang Dali receive this, he couldn't stop crying out in pain, the voice was like killing a pig, and the other generals kneeling in the hall were terrified.

"You can't recruit it!" Luo Yangxing pointed at Zhang Dali and asked sharply.

Zhang Dali is not a fool, he has now seen the signs, if he doesn't recruit now, he will have to die here. In order to save his life, he managed a lot, and immediately shouted: "I recruit, I recruit!" ”

"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin! Stop for a moment! Luo Yangxing commanded, and the brocade guards loosened the tightened rope, and then Luo Yangxing asked, "What's your name?" What is your current job? ”

"My name is Zhang Dali, and I now live in the Governor of the Left Army...... Governor Tongzhi," Zhang Dali replied cautiously.

"The official is not small, once he made a fuss, he mixed up with a second-grade official, which is higher than Lao Tzu's grade. Say, how did Yue Su collude with you, when did he plan to rebel, and what official position will he give you after the rebellion is successful? Luo Yangxing asked loudly. …,

"Yes...... He approached us and said that he wanted to rebel, but I didn't agree at the time, but he said that if he didn't rebel with him, he would kill us, so I had no choice but to agree. As for when the rebellion would be, he didn't tell me at the time, just said that he would wait for news from him. After success, reward me and reward me with a knighthood, so that I can enjoy glory and wealth for generations ......"

Zhang Dali was forced to be helpless and could only talk nonsense.

"He is a blood alliance with you, do you want you to believe in him and rebel with him?" Luo Yangxing asked coldly.

"Yes, yes......"

"Is your plan to wait until after Yue Su defeats Li Zicheng, when the class master returns to the court, the inside and the outside should join forces and seize the Jingshi?"

"Yes, yes......"

"Is the title he gave you a duke or a marquis?"

"Yes...... Duke ......"

"That's the Founding Duke?"

"Yes, yes......"

"At that time, Cao Huachun made a bloody alliance with you, and he knew about the rebellion?"

"Yes, yes......"

"Cao Huachun is in charge of the forbidden army, and when he greets him, you people will follow him and rush into the palace and hold the emperor and the queen mother hostage together?"

"Yes, yes......"

Zhang Dali is trembling in pain now, no matter what Luo Yangxing asks, he just admits it.

"You people are really bold, fortunately this governor discovered your conspiracy in time, otherwise, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty have died in your hands! Come on, let him sign and draw! ”

Under the order, the clerk's office that recorded the confession took the confession to Zhang Dali, and Jin Yiwei untied Zhang Dali's rope, made him kneel on the ground, and signed and signed. Zhang Dali dared not to draw, honestly signed his name and stamped his handprint.

After the painting was finished, the confession was presented to Luo Yangxing, Luo Yangxing read it again, nodded with satisfaction, and then knelt down with his fingers and said loudly: "At this moment, Zhang Dali has already confessed, what else do you have to say, if you know each other, you will recruit me one by one, otherwise, the punishment just now will also let you taste it again!" ”
