Chapter 320: Reward
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was toyed with.
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not as simple as Chongzhen in history, at least he knows that this world is not black and white, and everyone has their own thoughts.
But after playing like this, after witnessing it with his own eyes, the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was already turned upside down.
Wei Shichun said: "Yesterday...... Minister...... The minister was at home, and suddenly Jinyi Wei entered the house, and then ...... So he took the whole family of the ministers......"
He was intermittent, and even sometimes spoke, but it was also upside down: "After that, the minister was sent to prison, tortured, and Jinyiwei commanded the envoy Zhou Zhenggang to ......"
Behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhou Zhenggang's eyes were already black, and he almost fainted.
He trembled, and finally his legs could not support him, so he sat down.
At this time, Wei Shichun continued: "Zhou Zhenggang personally interrogated, and the ministers didn't know what happened, but they had to force the ministers, saying that the ministers had colluded with the merchants and the Jiannu people, and that the ministers had poisoned Your Majesty. Such a great sin, ...... How dare the minister admit it? So he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it to death. Kechen was in a cell...... It's better to live than to die, in the cell next door...... There was also a scream of the young son, this child ...... This kid ...... He was only seven years old, and he was only seven years old...... The minister's heart is like a knife......"
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse listened, his eyes were already on fire.
Wei Shichun said: "The minister thought in his heart that His Majesty would definitely be the master of the minister, so although he was tortured, he still gritted his teeth and endured it." It's just that...... Later, I heard Zhou Zhenggang say that His Majesty had determined that the minister was a chaotic minister and a thief, and the minister was Xuancheng Earl, a dignified earl, since he was imprisoned, without His Majesty's will, who would dare to take people...... Then...... The minister began to be disheartened, and because the torture became more and more intense, the minister heard that the son next door was ...... Because of the torture, he passed out, and finally ...... I had to confess my guilt......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "You are not guilty, how can you admit it?" ”
"Confession...... That Zhou Zhenggang had already written it in person, and asked people to read it in front of the minister, ask a question, and the minister replied yes. If the minister makes a mistake, they will take a piece of meat from the minister with a red-hot iron tong......"
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was already terrified.
Wei Shichun said: "In this way, they asked repeatedly all night, more than 30 times, sometimes ...... will also repeatedly confirm with the minister, if the minister answers wrong, another beating...... The minister couldn't stand it, the minister would rather die headfirst, would rather throw himself into the river, would rather hang himself, but he really couldn't stand such torture, so he ...... At that time, there was nothing left in the minister's mind, only to feel empty, only to know that the minister had committed the heinous crime......"
"Zhou Zhenggang ......" The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't listen anymore and shouted angrily.
But...... No response.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse turned around, but saw that Zhou Zhenggang was already lying on the ground sluggishly, like a drunken person. At this time, seeing His Majesty looking at him, he hurriedly lay down and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister is dead...... This...... This...... The minister is also to investigate and punish the traitorous party, and he is loyal to his duty. ”
"Referring to a deer as a horse, reversing black and white, this is what you call faithfulness? You are using my signboard to frame loyalty, which is also what you call loyalty? The Emperor of the Apocalypse was already extremely angry, and he casually picked up the porcelain bottle in the corner of the hall, and threw it at Zhou Zhenggang's head with a flick of his hand.
Clang......
The porcelain vase hit Zhou Zhenggang's forehead and shattered.
Zhou Zhenggang only felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and with a mother's sigh in his mouth, he subconsciously covered his bleeding forehead, and then screamed: "It hurts......... It hurts......"
"It's also called pain!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt ridiculous: "When you used my signboard to frame Zhongliang, did you ever think about how you taught life that it is better to die?" ”
"Ten thousand deaths...... Zhou Zhenggang couldn't care about the pain, let alone the unstoppable blood on his forehead, and kowtowed directly.
His head hit the ground covered in broken porcelain, adding a lot of new wounds to his forehead, and blood dripping down his forehead.
Zhou Zhenggang said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also a last resort, Your Majesty was poisoned, the minister was ordered to investigate, if you don't catch the murderer immediately, how can the minister explain?" Minister...... The minister just made some meritorious contributions...... As for this Wei family...... A lot of incriminating evidence pointed to them, and what the minister thought at the beginning was, who were they if they were not...... This rebel is caught, which one is not desperately denied? How can you confess...... The minister is just a meritorious person. ”
"It's just a meritorious service." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "If it was in the past, it would be fine, I would believe your words, but if you were only earnest. What about Zhang Qing? Isn't Zhang Qing eager to make meritorious contributions? Why can he catch the real culprit, but you only know how to frame Zhongliang? ”
Zhou Zhenggang: "......"
Zhou Zhenggang was completely speechless, and subconsciously, he glanced at Zhang Jing angrily.
Zhang Jingyi looked at him expressionlessly.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "I almost believed your nonsense, not only did I wronged Zhongliang, but I also almost let this Zhu Chunchen get away with it, so that these villains can continue to do evil without any scruples, you dog thief, and now you still want to deny it?" Come...... Take ...... for me."
Several guards had already stepped forward, and Zhou Zhenggang subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pressed down by someone, and then dragged out.
Zhou Zhenggang also shouted: "Wronged...... Wronged......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored this, but looked back at Wei Shichun and sighed, "After all, ...... It's my fault, I've raised a bunch of waste. ”
When he said that he was about waste, his hand was on the ploughing of the field.
Tian Ergeng was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister is also dead, it's just ...... At that time, the minister was worried about His Majesty's safety, and he had been staying in the palace to serve His Majesty, although he was out of the palace since then, but the minister was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he needed to take charge of the overall situation, and sat in the North Town Fusi, in case the puppy jumped off the wall in a hurry, so it was ...... Therefore, the ministers did not know anything about the edict. It's all this damn Zhou Zhenggang, the minister was almost deceived by him, and the minister asked to kill Zhou Zhenggang immediately to set an example. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said viciously: "In this brocade guard, I don't know how many Zhou Zhenggang there are!" ”
Wei Zhongxian stood aside, silently watching the development of the situation, and at this time, he felt that it was time for him to react.
So he immediately stepped forward and whispered to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because there are many people like Zhou Zhenggang that a capable and responsible person like the new county marquis is needed to clean up, so as to ensure that the pro-army will not make any big mistakes." So...... The slave suggested that the new county marquis immediately serve as the commander of the envoy, and this time he ...... The one who made the contribution was Deng Jian, who won Zhu Chunchen, this person is a deputy thousand households, so he might as well be promoted to a thousand households in the new county. By the way, the supervisor of Shangshan is very important, and he needs a trustworthy person's palm print, and Admiral Zhang Shun can be appointed as the palm seal of Shangshan supervisor. As for Zhu Chunchen, the slave maid thought that it would be better to hand it over to the thousands of households in Xinxian County to dispose of. And Zhou Zhenggang ...... There is no forgiveness for sin, and it should be decided. Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Ergeng, although this time it was not his full responsibility, but Zhou Zhenggang broke the law, and he could not escape the blame, but he could immediately let him make up for his mistakes and purge Jin Yiwei, if there is a next time, it is not too late to ask for the crime. ”
When Tian Ergeng heard this, he knew that his godfather wanted to protect himself.
He couldn't help but glance at his godfather gratefully.
Wei Zhongxian didn't even look at him, he only thought in his heart, such a waste only made himself congested and disgusted.
If it weren't for the fact that Jin Yiwei had a lot to do with him, and there was no suitable and reliable candidate for the time being, he would just want to kick this waste to death.
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he said, "What about the Wei family?" The Wei family suffered such a big crime, what should they do? ”
"The Wei family also has merit this time, and Your Majesty can give some other rewards........."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse snorted coldly before saying, "That's it." ”
Wei Zhongxian let out a long sigh of relief.
After saying that, the Emperor of the Apocalypse helped Wei Shichun up and sighed: "This time...... After all, it is my guilt, and the Qing family will treat the injury first, and when the injury is healed, I will see you again, and I will make amends to you......"
Wei Shichun was already in tears at this time, and he reluctantly saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Thank you...... Your Majesty. ”
What Zhang Jingyi can't see the most is that it is clear that the minions of the dog emperor have beaten people, and you have to thank him when you turn your head.
Of course, the atmosphere of the times dictates that he can't help it.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse really felt ashamed, and specially ordered someone to carry the chariot, and asked the eunuch to carry the chariot and send Wei Shichun and others to the imperial hospital.
Then, he sighed and returned to the Qinzheng Palace.
He sat down, but he looked sullen, and said to Zhang Jing who followed: "Zhang Qing, this brocade guard commands the envoy...... You come and do it, now in the Jinyi Guard, I only believe in you, and the things in the Guard, you secretly report to me. ”
Zhang Jing nodded: "Obey." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and said: "I didn't expect that this matter may seem to be a nest case, then Zhu Chunchen, I will hand it over to you, you can judge the results well, no matter who else is involved in this case, it must be taken down, I can't keep these people anymore." ”
didn't wait for Zhang Jingyi to agree.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly remembered something, and then said, "I heard from Deng Jian that the Zhu family found a basement, which was very large and full of gold and silver...... In the past ten years, the Zhu family has made huge profits by smuggling, but I am afraid that all the gold and silver are his profits, you say...... How can there be seven or eight hundred thousand dollars of silver? ”
Zhang Jingyi couldn't tell how much, but seven or eight hundred thousand, Zhang Jingyi felt a little conservative, so he thought about it and said: "The minister thinks that it should be more than that, and according to the minister's estimate, there may be one or two million taels." ”
"So much!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
You know, the annual revenue of the treasury ...... It's only a few million taels!
He came to his senses, and his eyes unconsciously lit up a little, and said: "Take a good count, if there are a million taels of silver, you and Deng Jian will make a great contribution." ”
