Chapter 203: I'm tougher

"Old Five, so fast."

"It's a little faster today, here's your drink money." After speaking, Han Lao Wu put the tael of gold just now on the table.

"Hey." Chen Yanzuo should have seen Li Xiaoliu behind Han Laowu.

"Li Baihu, isn't it, I just want to drink some wine, one is willing to sell, and the other is willing to buy. You can't wronged anyone. Chen Yanzuo said with a hippie smile.

"The fifth child is not corrupt, I can testify to the fifth child."

"Oh, that's not a problem, I'm here to bring you wine today." Li Xiaoliu said indifferently.

"This wine should have been invited for you on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but when you arrived at Yingtianfu, I don't know if there is a restaurant open in the first lunar month, and you have been in prison in the capital for more than ten days. So ah, I thought about it. This severed head meal and wine on the road, it would be good if Jinyiwei paid for you. The rice is pork strips and millet rice, and the wine is the Beijing burning pot. It doesn't look very decent, but let me tell you, this rice is the best cooked and best food made by the chef in the prison. ”

Li Xiaoliu slowly told Chen Yanzuo without hurry.

"Someone! Give Chen Yanzuo a change of clothes for the death row inmate. As a felony on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The anklets and bracelets have to be fixed. Hou Ye Chen has fine skin and tender meat, and he has to cut it with a thousand knives when he turns around, wrap the anklets and bracelets in cloth, don't hurt Hou Ye. ”

Chen Yanzuo stood for half an hour, and these reactions came over. He laughed maniacally and banged his head against the table.

"What's the matter? The red face can't stand anymore, so he will be Li Baihu to play the black face. This can't be done, 100 households. Do you think that your marquis is really a threat to your small hundred households? Or do you think that your lord has not seen anything in the world? ”

Li Xiaoliu looked at him and shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Fanzi with a loud rattling chain went in first.

directly knocked Chen Yanzuo to the ground with a punch. Then he took off the brocade robe from beginning to end.

"Don't leave it all. All the underwear was taken away. ”

The fans are very skilled, in a group of two, the two groups of people cooperate with each other, and soon Chen Yanzuo became a naked white body.

"The hairpin on the head is all withdrawn, and the hair is scattered and draped behind the body." Now that His Majesty has made up his mind, Chen Yanzuo is a prisoner at this time, and the prisoner must also look like a prisoner.

Then, a group of people lifted Chen Yanzuo's legs, and the craftsmen directly loaded the heavy anklet. Then he heard a clang, the anklet was too heavy, and Chen Yanzuo could only sit down against the wall with his hair draped.

"Serve the severed head meal and the wine on the road to Marquis Chen."

"This offender is to be punished by Ling Chi on the right day. Therefore, from a few days onwards, a group of three fans, for two hours at a time, give me a good look at the little monkey master. It must not be that the soul has not yet arrived in Yingtian, and the soul has gone down to the underworld first, and I understand it. ”

"You're a prisoner! It's an unjust prison! I want to see Han Ying, I want to see Your Majesty. I'm also a meritorious ......"

"After this meal, the stick is in the mouth, the lazar is in the crotch of the pants, three meals of water a day, two meals. Clear? Li Xiaoliu didn't pay attention to Chen Yanzuo's wail at all.

This time he is the person in charge of Jinyiwei going to Yingtian, and from this moment on, the life and death of these people is his duty, and the rest is not under his control.

"Whoa!" Han Lao Wu led everyone to bow down and receive the order.

"On the twentieth day of the lunar month, we set off. The person I named was the one who went to Yingtian with me this time, and they took turns going home to take leave of absence. Han Lao Wu is responsible for hitting the front station, taking people to set off tomorrow, and informing the Jinyi guards along the road in advance. ”

"100 households, 100 households."

Chen Yanzuo seemed to know something, pushed away the wine and meat in front of him, and crawled towards Li Xiaoliu.

"I have gold, I have silver, and my family still has a copper mine in Jiangxi, please give me a word."

Li Xiaoliu squatted down.

"It's late, Zhang Qiqi has already explained what you said today, you drink slowly."

………………

"Refreshing."

Zhu Youzhen ruthlessly smashed back Nan Zhili's resistance with 3,000 new troops and 500 brocade guards, and experienced the joy of domineering for the first time.

"Let's rebel, hurry up and rebel, if you don't rebel, to tell the truth, I really look down on you."

Since the last time he adjusted his mentality and only used the places that he was completely sure that he could control as his territory, he felt that the world had suddenly become more open.

"In the first year of Chongzhen, I achieved the level of a great warlord in Beizhili, which is not bad." He simply positioned and summarized himself.

And today, he returned to the Forbidden City, ready to support Wei Zhongxian in Dongchang.

Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the eunuchs arrested people at will, and the public opinion of weaving the crime was once again fermenting in the capital. Zhu Youzhen is very sensitive to this matter, and if this thing is not done well, it will destroy the situation that has been condensed with great difficulty all of a sudden, and he will return to the old path of vicious party strife.

There was no way, he directly asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange the last court meeting before the festival, saying that it was a court meeting, but in terms of form, he still arranged to update it.

After the three long live calls, sure enough, there was immediately a royal history.

"Wechen is not in charge of the cabinet. A few days ago, more than 30 colleagues were inexplicably opened by Dongchang in the name of giving gifts and imprisoned for the crime of accepting bribes. A few days after the minister shouted grievances in the cabinet for his colleagues, the cabinet expelled the minister from the office. The minister also knew that according to the requirements of our emperor, Dongchang was mainly concerned with security matters such as foreign spies and traitors, and I don't know when and who allowed Dongchang to supervise hundreds of officials. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." More than twenty people stood up.

"Xuan Wei Zhongxian." Zhu Youzhen said.

Dongchang followed Manchuria Jiannu for a long time and found that he had long colluded with important officials of the imperial court and exchanged gold and silver for important information of the imperial court. Therefore, after Dongchang cracked the capital Manchuria, he plotted against the Manchurian informants and wiped out all the thieves in the court who colluded with Manchuria at one time. According to the law of this dynasty, it is recommended that all 36 people abandon the city, and their families should be exiled to Jiaozhi, and they will not be pardoned in case of forgiveness. "Wei Zhongxian is also a person who has seen any big scene, and this kind of occasion is very relaxed.

"According to His Majesty's requirements, Dongchang did not supervise hundreds of officials. But what if you encounter such a national thief? I just want to ask you, is he an official? Or a thief? ”

"Whether it's an official or a thief, it's not up to you to decide what Dongchang has to say." The leader is Jiang Yushi, who just bites the East Factory and doesn't say anything.

"Yes, what this adult said is also right, so Dongchang has already transferred the eucalyptus to the Criminal Department." Wei Zhongxian replied directly.

"Regarding Mi Guangsui's 35 collusion with Manchuria, accepting bribes, and selling intelligence funds, the Criminal Department has already found out. The witnesses, testimony, and evidence are clear, and all those involved have pleaded guilty. The Criminal Department has already submitted the confession to the cabinet, how can it involve what Jiang Yushi said? "It was Feng Daoxian, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, who stood up.

"Witness testimony?" The Ministry of Industry gave Liu Jianlai a direct stand up.

"Dongchang sent people to give gifts, and then sent them directly to their homes to detain people, and locked them in the prison of Dongchang, under the punishment, why can't they ask for it? Zhu Dapeng, the director of the Ministry of Industry, has no more than ten taels of money left in his family, and his 60-year-old mother and wife live by spinning hemp. May I ask Wei Changgong, how does this explain? ”

Wei Zhongxian's reply was simpler:

"The interrogations are all in the Criminal Department, and if this adult feels unfair, he can ask the Criminal Department."

"You...... It was in order to insert the East Factory Jinyi Wei'an into the Ministry of Industry that you set up such a situation. Liu Jianlai simply said clearly.

"Your Majesty, regarding the installation of informants in the six departments of Jinyi Weidong Factory, the ministers are opposed!"

Zhu Youzhen is a little strange.

"This secretary is a little restless. I'm a little bit of a fool, aren't I talking about the conviction of the thirty-six? The head of the criminal department, who only has eleven taels of silver in his family, can have a saying. ”

Feng Daoxian, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, took the lead in standing up:

"This person knows that there are three outer houses and seven shops outside. A total of more than 70,000 taels of silver were seized, and the rest of the antique calligraphy and paintings are still being verified. ”

"This is pure slander, can't the minister believe his own eyes." The Ministry of Engineering was a little annoyed by Liu Jianlai.

"Director Liu, above the court, you pay a little attention to your appearance." Feng Daoxian, who was interrupted, directly scolded him back.

"The content of this deal is a sample of new gunpowder. If there are still people who don't believe it, Zhu Dapeng and his concubine still have correspondence and gunpowder samples outside the palace. But ......"

Feng Daoxian paused, and then looked at Liu Jianlai seriously from the Ministry of Works.

"In front of Your Majesty, let's bet on a pair of eyes. If what I say is not true, how about I gouge out these eyes today and pay them to the middle of the matter? If what I say is true, I can gouge out an eye in the matter. How is it? ”

"People will inevitably be deceived sometimes, regardless of the facts, we still oppose the installation of informants in Jinyi Weidong Factory."

This is the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen watched the performances and speeches of everyone in the audience with a little sadness, and silently pushed back his grand plan for several years.

"The minister also thinks that this matter is inappropriate." Coming to Zongdao and coming out, he knew that now was the time for him to stand up.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is advanced, no matter what ......"

Zhu Youzhen directly interrupted his speech.

"Have you ever seen the list of documents provided by the thirty-six people to Manchuria?"

"The minister hasn't seen it yet."

"The imperial budget, gun samples, gunpowder samples, ministers' relatives ......," Zhu Youzhen said the same.

"The son of a university scholar is now in Yunzhou, can you rest assured?"

"Your Majesty......" I want to say when I come to Zongdao.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand.

"Dongchang Jinyi Wei has agreed. I'm old when I come to Zongdao, and I'm not willing to give up, so let's return with honor. Liu Jianlai, who was involved in this matter just now, and more than 20 other people handed it over to the Ministry of Officials for punishment. What I mean is that since you can't see clearly, you should take care of your eyes for a year or two. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Chengen, he got up and left directly. Left behind a large group of ministers who looked at each other.

…………

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it should be heavenly.

What was supposed to be a night of golden dragon dancing turned into a curfew with no one on the streets.

Two thousand white-pole city defense troops and three thousand black-clothed troops quickly occupied all the important places in Yingtianfu. The elders beat the gong and let each family return to their homes. On the deserted road, only soldiers armed with spears escorted the strings of prisoners. From the dark room facing the street, there were countless whispers.

"The grandmother of the Chen family heard that she passed away in the mansion when someone came to the capital yesterday."

"Amitabha, that's also lucky, otherwise you would have to show up on the streets like today."

"I've met once, and it's kind."

"Whew! What kind? Kindly, there is a seal of money, seven out of thirteen? ”

"What kind people say, there are fewer maids who throw themselves into the well every year? Jin Chuan'er, who is next door to us, was taken by the second master, and he was thrown into the well if he didn't want to. ”

"You deserve it, you deserve it, how many people have been killed in order to repair the garden? Xiao Liangzi's father went to the yamen to complain, but he was beaten half to death, and he died when he was carried back. It's curfew, or I'll throw him a leaf on his face. ”

"Dad, be quiet. turned around and was heard by the government. ”

"When I heard what I was afraid of, the whole family was enslaved, I had no money, and I would buy one if I had money."

"What are you thinking?"

"This is the reward of good for good, and evil for evil. Xiao Lizi's father, you go to the grave of the Yu'er family tomorrow to burn some paper money, and tell your brother about this damn Chen family. ”

"Don't let me go, if I go, I can tear off a piece of the flesh on the third child of the Chen family."

"Tomorrow, I'll send the new master an umbrella."

At first, it was the Zhang family of more than 100 people, and after a few streets, the Chen family of more than 500 people mixed in. Each of them was tied with a long, thick rope and their hands were tied in a string.

Some people were expressionless, some were crying, and some of them fell down and sat there and couldn't get up. The soldiers from behind rushed over, and the whip was whipped down with a crackle on the head and face. Then he was dragged and staggered forward.

There are also people whose faces are like ashes, and they know their fate from the moment Jinyi Wei viciously rushed into the mansion.

Others are unwilling. As soon as the fifth elder of the Chen family shouted out the three words thief, a sharp big knife directly cut off his head. Now half of his body was lying on the carriage next to the line.

It was fine at first, but halfway through, a madwoman squeezed through the orderly pawn.

The people in the surrounding rooms remember very well that on this day, the drizzle in Yingtianfu turned into white snowflakes after the crazy woman appeared. The old woman staggered after the procession, trying to search in vain for something in the procession with her cloudy eyes open.

The soldiers still wanted to go up and take her away, but they were stopped by Li Xiaoliu.

Looking at Li Xiaoliu, he was still relatively kind. Not far away, a homeless man mocked and told Li Xiaoliu that this old woman had been here for half a year. During the day, he slept in the ditch not far away, and at night he shouted the word "Hua Sud" to find someone. I don't know who told her to come to Yingtianfu to look for the child, anyway, the old woman who was already unconscious had already decided that her child was here.

I don't know what happened, but when the sons of the Chen family appeared on the street corner, the old woman was stunned. Then let out a beast-like roar and pounced on the third child of the Chen family.

"You give me back my flowers!"

"You give me back my flowers!"

The hands of the third child of the Chen family were urgently tied together by the ropes, and the old woman directly threw herself on him and tore indiscriminately. A few people around the third child subconsciously dodged around, but they couldn't dodge. Li Xiaoliu remembered the words that His Majesty the Emperor had given him when he was leaving. Don't stop it, don't urge it, just let it go.

I don't know how long it took before the old man collapsed on the ground and let out a weak cry.

"You robbed my family's flowers, and my family's flowers died so miserably."

"My Huahua is only fifteen years old."

Finally, someone brought a basin of liquid from the window of his house that he didn't know what it was.

"Wow~"

The second grandmother of the Chen family, who was still showing off her martial arts when she went out yesterday, was doused all over, and she trembled while walking in a brocade and jade robe.

Then, more and more people appeared at the gates, by the windows.

Eggs, vegetable leaves, rotten fish and stinky shrimp, foot washing water, brush pot water......

Countless debris contained in anger thrown into the long procession. These officials and ladies of yesterday have become water dogs chased by everyone today.

"That might be a little bit out of place."

Ying Tianfu Tongzhi rode a horse by Li Xiaoliu's side.

"How can you be a nobleman, you still want the face of the court."

Li Xiaoliu smiled directly and said to him:

"When Xia Guan left the capital division, he was fortunate to see His Majesty. The lower official also asked His Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to ask the people in Yingtianfu, is it the vegetable leaves thrown by the common people? Or is it better to hold a knife? ”

After speaking, he ignored the stunned Tongzhi, and rode directly to the Dharma field arranged in front of the Yamen of Yingtianfu.

The Dharma field, illuminated by countless torches, was like daylight.

Chen Yanzuo knelt in the center. There should be more than 20 counts and above in Tianfu, and all the people over the age of thirteen are here.

Half an hour later, under the watchful eyes of thousands of nobles and the old and young of the Chen family, the naked Chen Yanzuo was hung with a fishing net and began to cut one by one.

Three days and three nights.

…………

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen cautiously walked to Zhu Youzhen, who was standing in front of Bai Yugan.

"It's snowing heavily, Your Majesty. Lord Han is also waiting. ”

Zhu Youzhen turned around, but saw Han Ying standing in the wind and snow wearing a cloak.

He didn't choose to go back to the palace, but beckoned to Han Ying.

"It's a big snowfall year. Han Shoufu did you know why? ”

It's already February, but there is a goose feather snow in the capital.

"Wechen doesn't know."

It's a country slang saying, and if it's snowing a year, it's going to be a good year. The reason is that the heavier the wind and snow in winter, the more pests will be killed in the farmland, and the next year will naturally have a good harvest. ”

"Your Majesty has heard a lot, and Weichen is ashamed."

"The truth of farming is not the same in the imperial court."

Zhu Youzhen looked greedily at the Forbidden City in front of him, and he found that he was more and more fond of this ancient empire.

He left a little time for Han Ying to digest.

"Without the cold, those pests in the court would have survived. The pests survived, and Daming collapsed. Therefore, Han Shoufu doesn't come to persuade me today, what if I am a name? One family crying or ten thousand families crying? I know that. ”

"In front of these pests, I am this wind and snow!"
