Chapter 406: The Sour Breath of the Literati
Zheng Xunrui and his entourage have not yet arrived in Huai'an, Wang Xiaoer and Wen Kun and others captured Chen Zhenhui, Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu, and have arrived in Huai'an Mansion City, Fang Yizhi has returned to Anqing's hometown to rest, Zheng Xunrui decided not to be alarmed for the time being, in fact, I learned from Ma Kuifeng that Fang Yizhi was basically not involved in this matter, so it did not make much sense to capture Fang Yizhi.
The so-called Xiucai met the soldiers, it is unreasonable, although Wen Kun was originally the warden of the Suzhou Mansion Torture Room, but the interrogation of Chen Zhenhui and others was also fruitless, these three people were very arrogant, and they did not look at Wen Kun and others at all, during the interrogation, they either did not say a word, or they were impassioned and angry, and they would not talk about slander at all, because Zheng Xunrui had a request not to be punished, so Wen Kun and others were helpless, and even when Zheng Xunrui returned to Huai'an, Wen Kun and others were depressed, Blame yourself for not completing your tasks.
Zheng Xunrui will not blame Wen Kun and others, he knows very well the thoughts of Chen Zhenhui and others.
To say that Chen Zhenhui and others may really not be afraid of death, the theory of Donglin Academy is a little deformed, blindly advocating the Qing Gao, blindly emphasizing the solar terms, such an education model, it should be said that there is nothing wrong, but it depends on what concept to strive for, if it is for the prosperity of the country, with such courage, it is also very good, but unfortunately the Donglin Party has long fallen into a misunderstanding, what I think of is to fight for fame, to fight for the eternal and dedicated, as for whether what is done is correct, it is irrelevant, This is precisely why the staff of the imperial court will make the minister famous.
When dealing with people like Chen Zhenhui, your use of torture may not be effective, and there will definitely be no problem in breaking through other aspects.
Zheng Xunrui, who returned to Huai'an, temporarily placed Xu Fojia and Bian Yujing and others in the official post, and decided to interrogate them in person.
Chen Zhenhui was taken to Donglin Book House.
Seeing the words of Donglin Library, Chen Zhenhui's eyes burst out with a strange light.
After entering the house, what he saw was Zheng Xunrui's back.
Seeing the famous Zheng Xunrui for the first time, Chen Zhenhui was still a little nervous about plotting in Nanjing. Everything was to bring down the prince Shaobao, Hubu Shangshu, Youdu Yushi, and Caoyun Governor in front of him.
There was silence in the room. Zheng Xunrui didn't look back for the time being, and Chen Zhenhui didn't speak.
It was in this silent atmosphere that Chen Zhenhui's body trembled slightly, and it seemed that she was even more nervous, after all, the momentum that burst out from Zheng Xunrui's body. It's still a bit breathtaking.
Zheng Xunrui finally turned around, and the light in his eyes shot directly into Chen Zhenhui's eyes.
Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but bow her head.
"Chen Zhenhui, don't you feel proud, if you have survived in front of this official, wouldn't his reputation be even more prominent, and after he returns to Nanjing, he will become a beautiful talk among the Donglin Party."
Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Chen Zhenhui raised her head suddenly.
"I am a scholar below, and I am also a meritorious person. How can you suffer such an insult, the adult is also a scholar, is it not clear that such a reason, if the national law is committed, there will naturally be the government to deal with it, and the adult will be tied to Huai'an, what is the intention, in the next will never give in, must go to the capital to complain. β
Zheng Xunrui looked at Chen Zhenhui and suddenly laughed.
Zheng Xunrui laughed. Containing contempt and sarcasm, Chen Zhenhui thought about opening her mouth several times, but she didn't know why, she never spoke.
This is the mystery among readers. Zheng Xunrui is the champion of the palace examination, and it is the third yuan and the first, which is a height that Chen Zhenhui cannot reach, so from the perspective of knowledge, Chen Zhenhui will always bow her head in front of Zheng Xunrui.
"Chen Zhenhui. You are embarrassed to say that you are a famous scholar, the reputation of the fourth prince is very good, the scholars in Nanjing, and even the scholars of Nanzhili probably know, that is, a few students, can have such a big reputation, the official is strange, when the official was in high school, he also wanted to be as low-key as possible, you must know that there are mountains outside the mountain, there are people outside the people, the more you read, the more you must know how to be humble, you just passed the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and have not passed the township examination of Nanzhili, so they regard themselves as the fourth son, Bear the praise of many readers, the official doesn't know why your face is so thick, you can still accept it calmly, there is a good saying, the reeds on the wall, top-heavy and shallow roots, bamboo shoots in the mountains, thick skin in the mouth and hollow belly, the official is too lazy to talk about you. β
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Chen Zhenhui's face was like a pig's liver, and she instantly turned red.
Such words are a fatal blow to Chen Zhenhui, Zheng Xunrui is the champion of the palace test, for so many years, it is indeed very low-key, and he has always done things in a down-to-earth manner.
Of course, Zheng Xunrui will not stop talking.
"The so-called four sons, in the eyes of this official, are just people who sell their reputation and reputation, they don't know anything about the government and politics, but they are not ashamed to openly discuss the government and politics, why do you talk about the government at will, the official sees that you are just stained with the light of your fathers, the official didn't want to implicate your fathers, but unfortunately what you did, the official really can't stand it, if there is such a scum in the official's family, don't wait for others to preach, the official will already start to teach a lesson."
Chen Zhenhui finally couldn't help it, raised her head and spoke weakly.
"My lord, you can kill but not humiliate......"
"Don't say these words in front of this official, you are not a scholar at all in the eyes of this official, the definition of this official to you is very clear, that is, a person who sells fame and reputation, today you have the opportunity to meet with this official, you should feel honored, this official has a lot of affairs, where is there time to spend time with you, this official is not looking at the face of your fathers, he has already sent you to the capital, at that time, look at what kind of honor you four sons have earned for your fathers, don't say you, even your fathers, will be humiliated."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Chen Zhenhui's body finally trembled.
"My lord, I am frank and honest in doing things below, and my lord suppresses it with power, and I will not accept it even if I die."
"Chen Zhenhui, you are too naΓ―ve, does the official care if you are convinced, in the eyes of the official, what are you four sons, do you think that the conspiracy with Mao Xiang, Hou Fangyu and others, the official doesn't know, the trumped-up charge, the official knows very well, when the official was in Huai'an to exterminate the Cao Gang, I don't know how many formations I have seen, when the official led the Zheng family army soldiers to fight with the Houjin Tartars, I don't know how many conspiracies I have seen, just with your ability, I actually thought of calculating the official, it's really ridiculous, Since you are not interested, then don't blame the official for being rude, and when your family is ruined because of you, then you can say something like the solar terms of the scholars. β
After Zheng Xunrui said these words, he waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to take Chen Zhenhui away.
Chen Zhenhui's face had long since become bloodless.
Just as the soldiers approached, Chen Zhenhui finally spoke, and her voice had become hoarse.
"Since the adults know everything, then kill the next person, do things alone, and don't want to involve anyone, these things have nothing to do with the family......
Zheng Xunrui looked at Chen Zhenhui and smiled sarcastically again.
"Chen Zhenhui, when you were plotting at the beginning, did you ever think that today, did you ever think that the family would suffer a disaster, such a good opportunity, do you think this official will give up, you are also a person who has read history books, look at these things in history, what is the outcome, do you think this official will easily kill you, just with your understanding, but also thinking about calculating this official, this official doesn't know how to evaluate your four sons, don't worry, this official will not punish you, this official will bring all the evidence, and a few of you, Go to the capital in person, and the official will talk to you in front of the emperor, see how filthy your four sons are, and let the emperor see what you are busy with every day among the so-called scholars. β
Chen Zhenhui finally collapsed, when Zheng Xunrui's words were not finished, his body was already paralyzed, in front of the powerful Zheng Xunrui, he had no qualifications to speak at all, if he arrived in the capital, in front of the emperor, there was no chance to speak, if the conspiracy was revealed to the world, then they would really be dead.
"Big, adult, I know that I am wrong, I beg my lord to give me a chance, and I am willing to end my own ...... and apologize."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Chen Zhenhui and spoke coldly.
"Toast and don't eat and drink, you have to say these words, the official can't see the sourness of these scholars, dare to do it, the official will give you a chance, how to conspire at the beginning, what is the purpose, who is involved, all the 1510 are said, for the sake of your fathers, you can not disclose this matter, and find a way to resolve it, but if you have the slightest concealment, the official will immediately take you into the capital, and then you will be in front of the emperor and the family fathers, go and defend it."
After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he motioned to his soldiers to take Chen Zhenhui out.
Half a day later, Wen Kun looked happy and came to Donglin Book House with a stack of papers.
"My lord, you are really a god, Chen Zhenhui said everything, not only Chen Zhenhui, Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu said everything, including where they ate, where they conspired, a total of several times, all of them were said, and Chen Zhenhui also specifically told Qian Qianyi about this matter, Fang Yizhi did not participate, and also expressed his opposition."
Zheng Xunrui nodded, without much expression on his face. (To be continued.) )
