Chapter 570: Peeling off the cocoon
"You devil." Old man Kong howled and cried: "They don't know anything, why should they be killed?" ”
"Now you know how to cry?" Old man Kong looked very miserable, but Zhu Han couldn't sympathize at all.
Don't look at him now, it seems to be very pitiful, but what if they succeed in their rebellion?
In the entire Datong Mansion, the people finally recovered some vitality from the disaster.
If they make such a fuss, the little things that have been accumulated will be plundered in an instant.
When the time comes, they will fall into a situation where they will not be able to live without food and clothing.
This is not Zhu Han's alarmism or slander of the White Lotus Sect.
The current people are no longer the people who were overwhelmed by the chaotic and exorbitant taxes of Mengyuan in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty.
The people of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the people of later generations, although they are still far behind, but the days have gradually developed in a better direction.
For these people, any glory and wealth are too ethereal.
But the hope that can be seen in front of them can bring them endless strength.
They can use their own hands to create a better life for themselves.
At such times, as long as the people did not suffer special suffering, they could not live their lives anymore.
It is impossible to raise your head and have a nervous head to rebel against those people of the White Lotus Sect.
And the White Lotus Sect has no basis for rebellion, and there is no army that can compete with the imperial court, what should I do?
There's only one way.
forced these people who didn't want to rebel to have to rebel with them.
It's not particularly difficult to do this.
Just plunder the money and food accumulated in the people's homes.
Those people who don't have food and money will naturally not be able to live.
In order to be able to live, the only way is to be coerced by these White Lotus Sects and become a thief with them.
"Why didn't you think about your family before you rebelled? Don't want to think about the consequences. ”
"You Kong family, every day you talk about your family and the country. But now, you want to let the White Lotus teach these rebels to harm the people who have just found a little hope. ”
"It's better for your family to cry than for thousands of families to cry"
"If you want to hate, hate yourself, hate you, why are you so incompetent."
"If you really had the ability to kill this king, you wouldn't have today's catastrophe."
Old man Kong grabbed the door of the prison with both hands: "You hateful thief, God will never let you go." ”
"It's okay, you won't see that day anyway."
"Or this king can show great mercy and let you see your nine clans on your way with your own eyes."
The most terrible words were uttered in a calm tone.
The old man Kong, who was originally crazy, instantly quieted down.
This time, he didn't just talk about demons, and his frightened eyes seemed to really see the evil ghosts crawling out of the underworld.
"You ......" his voice trembled, and he fell to his knees limply.
"This matter is all my fault, no matter what the prince wants to do with me, I admit it."
"Please also ask the prince to make your conditions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to meet the prince."
Zhu Han pursed his lips slightly.
If this old man uses it to the end, he still admires this old man a little.
That's just the way it turned out, and if you were scared a little, you couldn't care about anything.
shouted with righteousness and awe-inspiring on his lips for the sake of the world, but in his bones, he still only thought about himself.
"Where is Chen Xueying hiding? This king will kill you alone, and spare the lives of all your families. ”
"I'm ......" Old man Kong opened his mouth with difficulty, he originally liked to talk the most, but for the first time, he found that he didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a long time, he said with difficulty: "I don't know where Chen Xueying is hiding?" ”
"Lord Wang may not know, I also just joined the White Lotus Sect a few days ago."
"Before that, it was just that he had some relationship with the altar master of the White Lotus Sect."
"Chen Xueying can't tell me where he's hiding."
Two cold glints flashed in Zhu Han's eyes: "Until now, you still want to hide it for Chen Xueying." ”
"I can't see that you're pretty loyal to that guy."
Zhu Han's words didn't know whether they were ridicule or ridicule.
Old man Kong hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, I didn't mean to hide it for Chen Xueying, but I really don't know where they are hiding." ”
"Even when I went to see him before, it was the people from the White Lotus Sect who found me first and then took me to see Chen Xueying."
"Before I met the other party, my eyes were even blindfolded, and the place where I met was obviously not Chen Xueying's residence."
"That's right!" Old man Kong is now like a drowning person, fluttering wildly in the water.
Whatever you catch, it's all a lifesaver.
"Every time they called me over, they would spend most of the day on the road."
"So it's all out of the city."
"Maybe that guy Chen Xueying is hiding among the refugees outside the city."
Zhu Han just stared at Old Man Kong coldly, and did not express any opinion on his statement.
Old man Kong was in tears, and he had completely lost the rebellious look he had just now: "Lord Wang, what I said is true, and I definitely don't dare to deceive at all." ”
Zhu Han continued to ask: "What else?" Go on, the more you talk, the better it will be for you. ”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to hide it, it won't be this king who dies anyway."
"As for whether your whole family can survive, it depends on your performance."
Old man Kong is now completely scared, and he regrets his decision extremely much.
Why did he be blinded by lard in the first place, and he actually wanted to go against the demon Zhu Han.
Although the name of Yan Shenggong is gone, the status of the Confucian family among scholars is actually not low.
This will not change because the contemporary Yan Shenggong has embarked on the path of traitorous ministers?
After all, the Ming Dynasty at this time still needed a lot of scholars to maintain the stability of super sugar.
The important ministers in the court, such as Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, and Hu Weiyong, actually all know what is going on.
Although on the surface, he will not be too close to the Kong family, but there are still some seemingly inconsequential cares.
Although the Kong family no longer has the transcendent status they used to have, under the care of these people, life is still passable.
It's just that you can't do whatever you want like before, as if you were like the Earth Emperor.
If you have a good life, you have to be involved with the White Lotus Sect.
As a result, it was enough to die by himself, and he even implicated the entire Kong family.
Old man Kong's heart was bitter and hateful, why did he suddenly pop up such a thing as Zhu Han that couldn't be eaten with oil and salt, so he recognized their veins and didn't let go.
But now, even if you want to regret it, it's too late.
The only thing I can do is to cooperate with this thief and try to exonerate my family.
For this reason, Old Man Kong racked his brains and began to think desperately, trying to find some information that could be useful to this guy.
Not to mention, people are forced out.
At this time, Kong Laotong's brain became active.
It really gave him some very useful news.
The old man couldn't wait to say: "Lord Wang, although I don't know where Chen Xueying is, I know where the altar master of Datong Mansion is hidden. ”
Old man Kong is indeed not very familiar with Chen Xueying, after all, there is indeed not much contact between the two sides.
But for the altar master of the Grand Mansion, he knows more lessons.
Even by chance, he also learned some little secrets of the altar owner by chance.
For example, if there are special circumstances, how will the stall owner hide his identity to avoid being discovered?
"Very well, you old thing, you are finally not wasted to the point of no use at all."
"Say, if the information you provide this time can be helpful to the imperial court, this king can promise to spare your family's lives."
"But you're definitely going to die, so it's best not to take any chances."
The reason why Zhu Han said this was actually to convey a message to Old Man Kong.
He didn't fool the other party, but really considered letting the rest of the Kong family go.
After all, the evidence of Old Man Kong's rebellion is now completely solid.
If at this time, Zhu Han still said that he could let the other party go, it would be a bit too fake.
Maybe it will be self-defeating and make Old Man Kong doubt his true purpose.
"What the prince said is true?" Old man Kong grabbed the railing excitedly, and the iron chain in his hand rattled.
Zhu Han frowned: "Why did this king lie to you, a dead man?" ”
"The life or death of your Kong family doesn't matter to this king at all. If it weren't for you, an old immortal, who had to jump out and die, would you think that this king was full of food? I'm going to kill you useless shit. ”
Although Old Man Kong didn't believe Zhu Han's words very much, but things had come to this point, and he had no other choice.
can only be sad and angry, and he has told Zhu Han all the news he knows about the altar owner.
"Send someone to arrest that guy immediately."
After listening to the news that Old Man Kong said, Zhu Han waved his hand and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to fetch people.
"Yes!" The Jinyi Guard, who was following Zhu Han's side, took the order, and quickly clicked on the manpower to go to the location that Old Man Kong said to arrest people.
After repeatedly confirming the numbers and making sure that Old Man Kong knew all the news about the White Lotus Sect, he had already said it.
Zhu Han didn't pay attention to Old Man Kong anymore, turned around and left.
The old man hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, you promised not to kill our family." ”
"Lord ......"
Old man Kong's body seemed to be about to come out of the cell.
It's just that the gap in the fence of the cell seems to be very large, and in fact, even a thin person like Old Man Kong can only barely stretch out one hand.
No matter how he cried and begged for mercy, Zhu Han didn't say a word to him from beginning to end.
After Zhu Han left, Old Man Kong gradually calmed down.
The thin body slowly walked to the darkest corner of the cell and sat down.
In the darkness, his face was completely devoid of the anger and horror he had before.
Instead, there was a hideous smile.
"This Zhu Han is really a soft-hearted person as rumored."
"If the old man dies, he will die, as long as you can let this thief receive the punishment he deserves, even if you die, you will have the face to meet your ancestors."
When he found out that Zhu Han wanted to connect him, Old Man Kong was indeed very panicked.
After all, now that the Confucian family is no longer what it used to be, if it suffers another devastating blow, their Confucian family may really disappear completely, and it is possible that the inheritance will be severed.
But if you can not implicate other people, just yourself.
Old man Kong felt that this deal was very cost-effective.
Anyway, he was already so old, if he could use his old life to create some trouble for Zhu Han, he felt that he had not died in vain.
Now there are so many people from the White Lotus Sect who have quietly entered Datong Mansion.
As long as there is a little movement at will, it can make Zhu Han, a dog, anxious.
And at the same time, in another part of the prison.
There were also two people talking quietly.
"Old man Kong, this guy is really unreliable, hurry up and tell His Royal Highness the King of Han that this guy has already said everything."
"You should have informed the altar owner first, right?"
"If he had used carrier pigeons, he would have had a chance to escape."
"His life or death has nothing to do with us, inform the prince as soon as possible."
In the city of Datong Mansion, one of the most ordinary taverns.
After the drought, most of the hotels and pubs in Datong Province have closed their doors.
This era is different from later generations, and many tavern owners actually lived here.
I don't need to share the rent or anything like that, so as long as I don't hire anyone, I can barely make a living even if I can't run a business.
There are a lot of such taverns, so naturally no one cares about them.
But tonight, a group of fierce brocade guards suddenly surrounded the tavern.
The sound of the movement of the brigade is naturally impossible to hide from the surrounding people.
However, ordinary people are afraid of this kind of thing.
Few people would join in the excitement, and the people who were awakened closed their doors and windows for fear that they would be implicated.
After surrounding the tavern, the emergency seat unceremoniously broke down the door.
Soon there was the clanging of swords in the tavern.
Accompanied by the sound of swords, there were screams from time to time.
After about a stick of incense, several injured brocade guards tied up a person.
One of the man's arms had been severed, and the wound was still bleeding.
The captain of the Jinyi guard looked behind him: "Call that guy over and recognize the person, and see if there is any mistake." ”
Soon, Xu Shiheng was brought up by Jinyiwei's people.
Seeing him, the person who was arrested immediately scolded: "Xu Shiheng, you dog bastard, you dare to betray the Holy Sect!" ”
