He Qiaoxin sat on the wooden bed in a daze, and there was no movement for a long time. In the wee hours of the morning, Qian Ning proudly walked in with a confession and handed it to the sleepy-eyed He Qiaoxin.

"Lord He, look, this is the truth to find out, you always give face, and sign your name according to your handprint!"

He Qiaoxin didn't answer, so he took a closer look at it by candlelight. Qian Ning's smiling face was still the same, He Qiaoxin looked at him, grabbing the confession and tearing it to pieces little by little. Qian Ning was not in a hurry at all, and took out another confession from his arms: "Look, we never do useless things." Lord He, it's not interesting to tear paper and play, how many of you die and how much I have! ”

He Qiaoxin roared loudly and pointed at Qian Ning: "Eunuch!" Shechen! Vile! Want to frame me He Qiaoxin? Delusion! ”

Qian Ning waved his hand slowly, and several big men stepped forward, holding their heads and grasping their hands, and immediately controlled He Qiaoxin. Qian Ning grabbed He Qiaoxin's index finger, dipped it in the ink, pressed it on the confession, and smiled proudly.

"Look, Lord Ho, isn't that what happened?"

He Qiaoxin struggled desperately, shouting again and again: "It's useless without Lao Tzu's signature!" Your Majesty, the officials would never believe such a flawed thing! ”

"Ahh That's right! Channing pretended to be reminded and waved his hand. A Confucian scholar walked over and wrote and drew with a confession with a handprint.

Qian Ning took the confession handed over by Confucius and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Sir, I'm Channing who speaks his word, and every word is gold! Give, this is the three thousand taels of silver tickets that Huitong Tiantong has deposited and exchanged! ”

After sending away the Confucian students, Qian Ning walked up to He Qiaoxin with the confession and asked him to look at the confession: "Lord He, look, is this different from what you signed yourself?" ”

He Qiaoxin was cold and piercing for a moment, and the dazzling three words of He Qiaoxin on the confession were really exactly the same as what he wrote! If you hadn't seen it in person, you wouldn't even dare to say that it wasn't written by yourself!

"Hahaha! Come on, let go of Lord He, and serve well! Qian Ning laughed and walked towards the outside of the cell, but He Qiaoxin, who was free, stayed there, looking at Qian Ning in the distance in a daze. Burst! A mouthful of blood spurted out, and He Qiaoxin fell to the ground softly.

If you want to die, you can't die, of course He Qiaoxin will not be in danger. The doctor of Jinyiwei is more powerful than the imperial doctor, and there are not a few people who have been tortured but died, how can they be the doctor of Jinyiwei without two brushes?

Looking back at the Fengtian Temple, Wang Wei read the confession and the dossier, and asked suspiciously: "Lord He really confessed?" ”

Liu Jin sneered: "Lord Wang, if you say that the handprint can still force the cow to drink water, then what about this signature?" Who can force He Qiaoxin to write it down? Master Li is a master of calligraphy and painting today, can you identify it by Lord Li? ”

Li Dongyang took the confession, stared at the signature on the confession for a while, and sighed for a long time: "It is indeed written by Lord He!" ”

Ma Wensheng hurriedly said: "Boss, is it really written by Lord He?" ”

Liu Jin was just about to sneer, Zhu Houzhao glared at him, Liu Jin swallowed the words he was about to say, and stood quietly aside.

Dali Temple Qing Wang Shu messed up the shift, came directly to Li Dongyang's side, snatched the confession, and tried hard to identify the handwriting on it, for a long time, he didn't say a word, but he was still figuring it out.

Li Dongyang arched his hand: "The ministers invite the court!" ”

Zhu Hou looked at his head, and after a while, the courtiers entered the Fengtian Hall one after another. Baiguan was stunned to find that Wang Shu of Dali Temple was holding a piece of paper in both hands, like a sculpture!

Finally, Zhu Houzhao's voice sounded in the main hall: "Lord Wang, is there a problem?" ”

Wang Shu was covered in sweat, and looked at Zhu Houzhao's lips trembling. Li Dongyang sighed, and also took a positive photo: "Your Majesty, it is indeed Lord He, handwritten!" ”

"Oh, then in that case, He Qiaoxin is rebellious and reverses black and white and ignores the law of the country, what crime should he be guilty of?"

Wang Shu of Dali Temple finally stood firm, and without waiting for Li Dongyang to speak, he said directly: "Your Majesty, this matter is strange, Lord He has no interest in the case of Dali Temple, why do you want to act like this?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a huge pressure enveloped Wang Shu. Wang Shu's body staggered, but he looked at Zhu Houzhao fearlessly, and his eyes revealed incomparable firmness. Zhu Houzhao said senran: "Wang Shu, He Qiaoxin still confessed, and Master Li also confirmed that it was his autograph, but you are suspicious, what do you want?" ”

It's not a good thing for the emperor to call him by his first name, and he won't be so rude until the emperor can't bear it. Of course Wang Shu knew, but He Qiaoxin's confession was clear, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the General Political Envoy Department would all usher in an unprecedented storm, and the nightmare of peeling and filling the grass a hundred years ago would come again, how could he be willing?

Wang Shu slowly stretched out his hand and took off the black gauze hat on his head, and said loudly: "With the guarantee of his life, Lord He will never do such an evil thing!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was furious, and just as he was about to have an attack, one of the people in the court stood up and took off the black veil on his head: "Chen Wenmao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is willing to guarantee with his life!" ”

"Wailang Longshan, a member of the Ministry of Households, is willing to guarantee his life!"

"Cao Yutian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is willing to guarantee with his life!"

Starting from Wang Shu's forced palace, hundreds of people came out of the neatly arranged court class one after another, standing behind Wang Shu with black gauze hats in their hands.

Zhu Houzhao's face became more and more ugly, and suddenly Zhu Houzhao stood up and laughed! There is a kind of downright sadness in the laughter, a kind of vicissitudes after being betrayed, a kind of helplessness after seeing through the world, and a kind of indifference after being angry to the extreme!

The laughter suddenly stopped, and Zhu Houzhao pointed to the officials who stood up and ordered: "Liu Jin, fork this group of ministers who have no king and no father out of the palace, and put them on twenty canes!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang shouted in pain, and a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but then he was filled with anger, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Jin took the brocade guards in the palace to pounce on the ministers like wolves!

"Your Majesty! The minister is old and faint, and beg His Majesty to allow the minister to tell the old! Li Dongyang trembled, staring at Zhu Houzhao under anger with a pair of eyes.

Ma Wensheng just wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong blocked Ma Wensheng with his body, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The minister is weak, and he begs to return to his hometown! ”

Jiao Fang also wanted to stand up, but Li Dongyang stepped on his official boots, turned around and slapped Jiao Fang in the face: "Thief!" ”

Jiao Fang was stunned, and then understood Li Dongyang's intention to maintain, and shouted in pain: "Master Li! How so? ”

"Humph! How can there be a scum like you who sells yourself as a thief under Confucius and Mencius? Get lost! The old man is ashamed to be with him! ”

Zhu Houzhao had no time to distinguish between Jiao Fang and Li Dongyang, his mind was running rapidly, he quickly weighed the gains and losses, and finally made up his mind.

"Good! Master Li is old, Master Liu is weak, I am not such a cold-blooded person, the requirements of the two masters are approved! ”

Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief, and Zhu Houzhao's eyes were indifferent. The old minister told the old man to ask three times and refuse, otherwise the emperor intended to drive people out. Li Dongyang has served Zhu Houzhao for many years, and most officials can't help but be cold when he ends up like this.

Even Li Dongyang and Liu Zhong ended up like this, and no one fought the horse. Outside the Fengtian Palace, Wang Shu and other 117 people were tied to a bench and stripped off their coats. Liu Jin looked coldly at a piece of white flowers' buttocks, and smiled gloomily: "Really fight!" ”

Syllable! The iron-clad cane was raised high, and the Jinyi guards who executed were all veterans, and their wrists fell heavily with a shake!

Yes! The screams were incessant, and blood splattered everywhere as the cane rose and fell. After three or five canes, the old and infirm officials had already fainted. Ren Changsuo, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, quietly stood beside Liu Jin and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law Liu, there are a few who can't bear it anymore, this..."

Liu Jin hummed quietly, and there was no further comment. Ren Changsuo understood, felt a chill in his heart, and bowed his head and left.

Syllable! Syllable! The muffled sound of the cane hitting the flesh still maintained the same rhythm, but some people were already like a corpse, and the cane hitting the body could not arouse a trace of reaction from the body.

"Grandpa Liu, three have already died!"

Liu Jin took out a small file and lowered his head to file his nails. Ren Changsuo turned to leave, his legs couldn't help but tremble a little!

"Give birth to what I want, righteousness also I want, sacrifice life and take righteousness!" Wang Shu was in tears, looking at the ministers who were suffering in pain under the flying staff, and chanted loudly.

"Don't worry, it's your turn in the next wave!" Liu Jin put away the small file and looked at Wang Shu with a smile.

The cane is not a necessity, and there are not many brocade guards in the palace guarding the palace. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of people in the Ming Dynasty has never been so large, and Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as a precedent. More than 50 people waiting for the cane were pressed by the brocade guards to watch the execution, and the cursing was endless!

"Father-in-law Liu, this wave has been over, fifteen are seriously injured, and eight people have already lost their breath!"

"Well, hard work! The imperial doctor hurried to treat him, long live the Lord was just a light punishment, but he didn't intend to kill people! ”

"Phew! Eunuchs! Ha ha! Oh my God, open your eyes! Rain down the thunder and slash to death this senseless faint king! "The six branches shouted at Kuang Mingtang in the matter!

Liu Jin's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Kuang Mingtang with pity: "Come!" Hurry up and give this one a rod first! Remember, hit hard! ”

The wolf-like brocade guard pounced on him, knocked down Kuang Mingtang three times and two times, pulled off his coat, and tied it to a stool. Ren Changsuo called Lao Jiu, who had the best skills: "Go, let him be happy!" ”

Lao Jiu is not only an executioner for many years, but also an ancestral craft, and his family has been a master of torture since his grandparents, and it is even more green to pass it on to him. But he is still hard-hearted, and Lao Jiu is also a little unbearable. These are all the literary songs and stars in the sky, and they are all reading seeds, and they are all withering under the rods of the brothers one by one. Ren Changsuo's command was exactly what he wanted, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, his cane was raised high.

Tom, with a muffled sound, the cane fell on Kuang Mingtang's body, but the skin and flesh were not damaged. Kuang Mingtang froze suddenly, and before the second staff fell, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and the whole person began to twitch non-stop. Tong! The second staff fell, Kuang Mingtang's body softened, his stiff body was completely relaxed, he spit out a mouthful of turbidity, and his head hung down!
