The four screens were removed.

But when the officials and gentlemen who were watching around saw the scene inside the screen, they were dumbfounded, because the picture inside the screen was completely different from what they had imagined.

In the picture in everyone's imagination, at this time, Gao Hongtu should have broken down and knelt on the ground to ask Chongzhen for his guilt.

But the actual situation inside the screen was that Gao Hongtu was clearly standing behind Chongzhen, and he was controlled by the two barons of Yiding, and even his mouth was covered.

Only a pair of eyes were as big as brass bells.

His eyes were wide open and almost burst into flames.

Before the screen was removed, it was Chongzhen who stared.

But after the screen was removed, Gao Hongtu turned his head and turned his fierce gaze on Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong, Li Jinglian and Zuo Guangxian.

Judging from his eyes, Gao Hongtu estimated that he had the heart to kill.

At this moment, Gao Hongtu really wanted to kill Zuo Guangxian and the four of them, stupid, how stupid!

Seeing this scene, Zuo Guangxian, Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were also stunned for a moment.

What's the situation? How could this be? It wasn't the teacher who fell to the ground and pleaded guilty to Chongzhen just now? But the eunuch kneeling in front of Chongzhen?

But it was obviously the teacher's voice just now?

Zuo Guangxian, the four officials, the gentry and the scholars who were observing, all set their eyes on the eunuchs who were lying on the ground.

I saw that the eunuch bent down and got up, first waved towards the surroundings of Mingtang, and then straightened up, and the officials and gentlemen around him suddenly exclaimed: Liu Jingting?

"I'm sorry." Liu Jingting smiled slightly and said, "The carving insect skill makes you laugh." ”

The voice that said this was clearly Gao Hongtu's voice, and the mystery was directly revealed, and it was not Gao Hongtu who confessed to Chongzhen just now, but Liu Jingting.

When the candle was extinguished, it was directly dropped by Liu Jingting.

Seeing this, Zuo Guangxian and the other four people really regretted their intestines.

It's a trick, it's a trick! Zhu Youzhen is too cunning! It's so hard to guard against!

At this time, Chongzhen waved his hand, and let go of the charcoal that was covering Gao Hongtu's mouth.

As soon as Gao Hongtu's mouth regained his freedom, he scolded loudly, but it was not Chongzhen who scolded, but Zuo Guangxian and Yuan Pengnian and other three protégés.

"Zuo Guangxian, you idiot!"

"Yuan Pengnian, you stupid pig!"

"Liu Zhengzong, and Li Jinglian, I didn't expect even you to be so unwise."

"The co-author of the old man is so assertive in your minds, and he can give up the concept that he has adhered to for decades with just a few words from Chongzhen? You guys, what a disappointment for the old man. ”

Zuo Guang waited for the four of them to hear the words, and sat down on the ground.

But he was soon picked up by Yiding behind him.

Chongzhen sneered, and then asked, "Gao Hongtu, what else do you have to say so far?" ”

"Chongzhen, I am willing to gamble and lose, but now, the old man has nothing to say." Gao Hongtu actually gave Chongzhen a rare thumbs up, and praised, "This kind of mental trick, such a calculation, Emperor Sejong is afraid that it is nothing more than that." ”

Chongzhen said: "In this way, you admit that the case of Ma Mingluo and Zhan Yangzhi was framed by you at the instigation of Zuo Guangxian, and the case of killing the monarch in Yangzhou was also done by you under the pretense of Yuan Pengnian instructing Du Hongyu, yes or no?" ”

Hundreds of officials and gentlemen and thousands of scholars have seen and heard this scene tonight.

So it doesn't matter whether Gao Hongtu admits it or not, but procedurally, it's best to let Gao Hongtu admit it himself.

"Yes, this is all done by the old man." Gao Hongtu is also single, and he has reached this point, knowing that there is no point in denying it anymore, so he simply admits it generously.

But as soon as the conversation changed, Gao Hongtu continued: "But what Liu Mazi said just now is not right, the old man made this decision for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, not for his own selfishness. ”

"Chongzhen, in front of so many officials and gentlemen tonight,"

"The old man might as well stack the words here, the Ming Dynasty will be defeated sooner or later because of your rule! It's just hateful that the old man can't see that day, it's hateful. ”

At this point in the trial, there is already a ninety percent of the time.

The last time the fire is ready to wait for the fermentation of time, but it can't continue tonight.

At that moment, Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Come on, put Gao Hongtu and them all in Yingtianfu Prison!" After he confesses to the other accomplices and all of them are brought to the case, they will be questioned together! ”

This sentence is very important, other comrades!

There are other accomplices in the Tongkou case and the murder of the king!

Gao Hongtu, Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were quickly escorted away.

However, Yiding, who escorted Zuo Guangxian, ran into trouble and was blocked by King Qin's son at the southern exit of Biyong.

Huang Zongxi took a group of Qinwang scholars to block the road tightly, and looked at Zuo Guangxian with an unkind face.

Zuo Guangxian was about to pee, but he turned his head and begged the Yiding who escorted him: "Ha, you have been ordered to escort me to the prison of Yingtianfu, don't go wrong." ”

Baron Yiding, who led the team, was Ba Hanzhen and knew Huang Zongxi.

Ba Hanzhen first looked back at Mingtang and found that Chongzhen had already left.

Ba Hanzhen knew that Chongzhen would not care about this matter at all, and said immediately: "Huang Xiaozi, don't beat people to death, otherwise Benjue will not be able to explain to Ying Tianfu." ”

"Lord Ba, please rest assured, you can't die."

Huang Zongxi laughed fiercely, gritted his teeth and roared: "Pull out this old horseman's beard first!" ”

More than a dozen scholars rushed up, first holding Zuo Guangxian's limbs, making him unable to move, and then began to pick Zuo Guangxian's beard, which was real, and it was one by one.

The square on the south side of Biyong soon sounded like Zuo Guang killing a pig first.

Most officials and gentlemen turn a blind eye to this, at this time, Zuo Guangxian has been ruined and has become a plague god, which fool will stand up and speak for him?

Only Zuo Guangxian himself was still ignorant and asked for help there.

"Brother Huang, I am thinking about you and my colleagues, and please help me."

"Brother Liu, you and I are in-laws, and now I am in trouble, you must save me!"

"Brother Lu, for the sake of the same year, ask the saint for me, Brother Lu save me, save me, ah!"

However, the officials and gentlemen who were called by Zuo Guangxian all hid their faces and left, avoiding him like a plague god.

In less than a moment, Zuo Guangxian's beard was plucked out, and there were blood stains around his mouth, but Huang Zongxi was particularly unrelievable, he really hated Zuo Guangxian to the core.

"Rip off the old man's pants!" Huang Zongxi said hatefully.

The two Qinwang scholars even took off Zuo Guangxian's pants.

"Ah, Huang Zongxi, you are too much, you dare to bully the old man like this, ahhh

Zuo Guangxian is really blowing the crotch and the eggs are cold, and the dignity of the reader is gone.

An old gentleman really couldn't see it, and stood up and reprimanded: "Huang Zongxi, this place is Biyong, and it is a sacred place for holding Confucian ceremonies, how can you allow Er and other juniors to wantonly desecrate?" ”

"Shut up!" Huang Zongxi glared at his scarlet eyes and retorted, "The ancients are a teacher for one day and a father for life, I regard my teacher as my father, where were you when Old Zuo humiliated my teacher like that before?" ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zongxi took out his waist knife and shouted: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, if anyone dares to speak for the old man Zuo, can I ask if my steel knife is good!" ”

"This is really insulting to Sven, really insulting to Sven!"

The old gentleman was immediately stunned, and turned to go elsewhere.

Huang Zongxi said to Ba Hanzhen again: "Lord Ba, the errand of escorting Zuo Lao Pifu to Yingtianfu Prison will be done for you by our Shizi Battalion, there is no problem, right?" ”

Ba Hanzhen could only smile bitterly: "No problem, no problem." ”

Ba Hanzhen seriously doubted that if he dared to say a word, Huang Zongxi might really dare to cut people.

At that moment, Huang Zongxi said to a few scholars: "Tie up the old man Zuo, find another donkey cart, tie him to the donkey cart, and escort him to Yingtianfu along the bankhouse street!" ”

At this time, Nanjing is likely to be the most prosperous city in the world.

A sign of whether a big city is bustling or not, that is, whether its nightlife is rich enough?

In terms of nightlife, Nanjing was undoubtedly the richest in the world at that time, especially on both sides of the Qinhuai River and on the banks of the Qianku Street and Gongyuan Street.

When Huang Zongxi took Qin Wang Shizi to escort Zuo Guang first, it was the busiest time on Banknote Street.

Zuo Guangxian, who was tied to a donkey cart with his bare buttocks, immediately became a scene on the banks of the Qinhuai River, not only the peddlers and pawns on the street and the small people who were shengdou, but even the sons and brothers who were looking for flowers and willows, and the girls in the Qinglou painting boat also poked out their heads, first glanced at them and then took a sip, and then lowered the window.

At this time, Zuo Guangxian was really discredited and swept away.

This is Huang Zongxi, how you treat my teacher, I will treat you as you like.

However, it was not only Zuo Guangxian who swept the floor, but also the Donglin Party.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Donglin Party people in Nanjing.

Because in the final stage of the Biyong case, Chongzhen had already made it clear that he would wait until Gao Hongtu and their comrades were caught and then interrogate them together.

You say there is no comradeship? Naive, the Holy One said that if there is a party, there is a party.

Who are the comrades in the case of planting false accusations and the murder of kings, and that is not a matter of Gao Hongtu's words?

Now Gao Hongtu, Zuo Guangxian, and Yuan Pengnian have confessed in person in front of hundreds of officials, gentry, and thousands of scholars, so Ying Tianfu can completely open the trial, and at this time, no matter how much torture is given, no one will say that torture is a trick.

Donglin party members like Jiang Yueguang and Zhang Youyu don't believe that Zuo Guangxian will have the hard bones of his brother Zuo Guangdou, and Yuan Pengnian and a few of them may not be able to grow up the bones of their fathers and ancestors.

When the time comes, won't they all become the same party?

Therefore, almost all the Donglin Party members were in a mess.

Like Qian Qianyi and others, they are already thinking about breaking away from the Donglin Party.
