The captains of Jinyiwei were stunned when they heard the word "Lao Leng", but in view of the order issued by the tiger master, they could only bite the bullet and pass the word.

However, to their surprise, after telling the news to the eunuch next to the emperor, it didn't take long to see the emperor running out barefoot.

Qin Deshun carried a pair of shoes and shouted as he ran.

"Slow down, you haven't put on shoes yet!"

Lao Zhu didn't care so much now, he ran for a while before he reacted, and then stopped and put on his shoes.

At this time, the person who was carrying the shoulder also chased after him, and Lao Zhu did not run blindly by himself, but sat on the shoulder and kept urging his subordinates to run quickly.

By the time Lao Zhu arrived at the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, Erhu had already tortured the assassin codenamed "Lao Leng" to extract a confession.

However, in view of the fact that this person's identity is too special, Erhu did not use too bloody means to extract confessions, but just ordered someone to prick his fingers with a steel needle a few times.

"Well, did she recruit anything?"

"Back to the emperor, so far there are no recruits, but she is definitely the key person!"

Lao Zhu glanced at "Lao Leng" a few times, and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.

But he quickly put the feeling aside and asked with a cold face.

"Who do you want us to release?"

"Or, whose life do you want to exchange our eldest grandson for?"

Han Yushang looked at Lao Zhu a few times when she heard this, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her mind.

"You are the Zhu Butcher?"

As soon as Han Yusheng said this, Erhu and Qin Deshun broke off in unison.

"Bold!"

"Disrespectful to His Majesty, but a great sin to punish the Nine Clans!"

Seeing this, Han Yushang snorted coldly, with endless mockery on her face.

The things she did, any one of them was the crime of the Nine Clans, and she was afraid of this?

Lao Zhu also knew the other party's mentality, so he asked Erhu and Qin Deshun to step back and take two steps forward.

"Yes!"

"We are the Zhu butchers you want to get rid of as soon as possible!"

Han Yushang saw Lao Zhu so happily admit the nickname of "Zhu Butcher", and her face showed a little surprise.

In her mind, Zhu Yuanzhang should be furious when she heard this kind of title, how could she talk to herself so calmly?

"I told you my conditions a long time ago, you want to release all the prisoners in the Ming Dynasty, whether they are in the capital or locally!"

Lao Zhu shook his head with a sneer.

"Impossible!"

"No one in this world is qualified to tell us the conditions!"

"And it is impossible for many people who are vicious and evil to be released, let them go out so that how can the people of Daming live?"

"Once the world is in turmoil, won't it give you rebels and thieves a chance?"

"Just say who you want, no matter whose life you want to exchange, we can give it to you!"

Han Yusheng rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"I want your life!"

"If you die in front of me now, I will tell you the whereabouts of Zhu Yunxi!"

Lao Zhu sighed bitterly when he heard this, and then turned to leave.

"Torture!"

"Torture?"

As soon as Lao Zhu's words came out, not only Han Yusheng, who was tied to the shelf, was stunned, but the two tigers on the side were dumbfounded.

"The Emperor?"

Lao Zhu ignored the call of the second tiger, and still walked resolutely outside.

However, just as he walked to the door, Han Yusheng, who was tied to the shelf, suddenly shouted.

"Butcher Zhu, don't you want to know where your grandson is?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his heart seemed to be twisted violently, and his fists and brows were subconsciously tangled together.

However, he still insisted on not looking back and not giving the other party a chance to see his jokes.

"You seem to have forgotten that we have more than one grandson!"

"There is no Zhu Yunxi,

We still have Zhu Yunhuang, as long as we cultivate well for a few years, we can inherit our throne!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words directly made Erhu and Qin Deshun stupid, but they had already boarded Zhu Yunxi's thief ship and regarded them as the rightful heirs of Da Ming.

Now that Lao Zhu said such a thing, if it is heard by people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

"Emperor, you ......"

Lao Zhu didn't give Erhu a chance to speak at all, and shouted bluntly.

"Strict interrogation!"

"Don't care about Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts, be sure to interrogate this woman and the White Lotus Sect in detail!"

Hearing this, Erhu suddenly had a hint of abruptness, and hurriedly replied.

"Humble and obedient!"

Qin Deshun still didn't understand, but when he chased out and saw the old emperor holding on to the wall outside the dungeon and crying silently, he also instantly understood.

It's not that the old emperor doesn't worry about the emperor's grandson, it's really that he doesn't want to be seen through by the White Lotus Demon Maiden.

"The Emperor's ......"

Lao Zhu waved his hand towards Qin Deshun.

"We're fine!"

"Prepare a room for us near here, and let us know as soon as there is news!"

"No!"

Lao Zhu stayed in Fusi, Beizhen, and fell asleep listening to the faint sound of interrogation.

Erhu tried his best, but he still couldn't pry open the mouth of "Lao Leng", and he couldn't even ask her name, so he had no choice but to meet Lao Zhu.

"Emperor, this is a hard bone, I don't say anything when I ask her, I just shout to see you!"

Lao Zhu laughed when he heard this.

"See us?"

"Just procrastinate!"

"What kind of cruelty is that lowly job?"

Lao Zhu thought about it and got up from the bed.

"Forget it, let's go over and see her, if you dare to play any tricks, just kill her!"

When Lao Zhu came to the dungeon again, the "Lao Leng" on the shelf was already soaked, his ten fingers were also stained red with blood, and there were dozens of steel needles on his body.

Han Yushang saw Lao Zhu again and said with all her strength.

"Let them go!"

"I'll tell you if you let them go...... Where is Zhu Yunxi......

Lao Zhu's heart tightened when he heard this, but he quickly regained his senses.

"No!"

"Let's just not have that grandson!"

"If you confess now, we will look at the face of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, back then, and bypass the lives of you and the person you want to save!"

"If you are obsessed and want to threaten us with Zhu Yunxi's life, then we can only order someone to behead all the prisoners in the prison!"

Han Yushang shouted in horror when she heard this.

"How dare you!"

"If you really dare to kill, you will never want to see Zhu Yunxi!"

Faced with the threat of "Lao Leng", Lao Zhu just replied coldly.

"Kill!"

"Kill a hundred sacrifices first!"

When Erhu heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to drag the prisoners out of the Jinyiwei prison, and then put them one by one in front of "Lao Leng" to be executed.

Although this is unruly and an abuse of lynching, when did they talk about the rules when they handled the case?

Being able to read out the charges at the time of the beheading is already considered to take care of the prisoner's emotions.

"The prisoner Zhang Jing deliberately delayed the documents, refused to implement the new policies of the imperial court, committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and should be punished!"

"Prisoner Wang Chong, guilty of corruption......

"Prisoner Tian Li......"

As Jin Yiwei commanded Jin Shi to read out the final documents, the ten executioners raised their knives and immediately cut off the heads of the ten officials.

After the heads of ten corrupt officials fell to the ground, Lao Zhu looked at the "Lao Leng" on the shelf again.

"You have to seize the opportunity, if you don't confess, the next batch may kill the person you want to save!"

"How dare you!"

Han Yushang was like an angry tigress, roaring hysterically at Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, what a tough person Zhu Yuanzhang is, how can he be swayed by her few vicious roars?

It's just that he is old and his physical strength is a little exhausted, and he feels a little tired after a few rounds of prison slashing, so he yawns and leaves.

"Erhu, you continue to be in charge of the execution!"

"Ten at a time, until she confesses!"

"No!"

Han Yusheng was crazy when she heard this, she had never seen such a hard-hearted person.

Zhu Yunxi is his own grandson, doesn't he care at all?

Doesn't it mean that Zhu Yunxi is his favorite grandson and his favorite heir?

Could it be that the rumors are wrong, and we have all been deceived by him?

However, what made Han Yushang even more devastated was that she didn't know what to do now.

If you confess honestly, with the ruthlessness of Zhu Butcher, she and her uncle Han Qing will die.

If you don't confess, if you kill Jinyiwei like this, it will soon be your uncle's turn......

What to do?

Han Yushang regretted dying at this time, if he knew that he couldn't save his uncle even if he caught Zhu Yunxi, it would be better to come directly to Jinyiwei Prison to rob the prison!

Although the latter is equally dangerous, there is still a chance to survive!

However, what made Han Yushang feel even more desperate was the killing in front of him, as the heads of batches of prisoners fell to the ground, the room where he was interrogated was already covered with blood.

At this time, not only was there a river of blood on the ground, but even the air exuded a strong smell of blood.

She had never seen so many dead people, let alone so many dead people who had been neatly beheaded, and so close to the dead people.

Especially when the Jinyi guard carried the head, turned the face of the dead man to herself, and asked if she was the person she wanted to save, she broke down and wanted to commit suicide.

Han Yusheng's will was only carried until the evening, and when he killed the twelfth batch of prisoners, he collapsed and went crazy.

It wasn't until this moment that she repented, she overestimated herself and underestimated Zhu Butcher.

"Crazy?"

"Silly, huh?"

"Call the Imperial Doctor to see if it's really stupid or fake!"

After a short time, the imperial doctor was called over, checked the people on the shelf for a while, and gave Erhu an accurate answer.

"Then prescribe her medicine, and make sure to cure her!"

The imperial doctor looked at the blood all over the ground, and then looked at the cell like Senluo Palace, how could this broken place be cured?

He healed the woman with his front foot, and the woman's back foot would be stupefied by the environment in front of her.

"Master Tiger, do you want to change her cell?"

Erhu sighed helplessly when he heard this.

"Alas!"

"Who knew that this woman was so useless, and she couldn't carry it without the pampered Lu family!"

When the imperial doctor heard this, he was stupid, and felt that he had listened to something he shouldn't have heard.

It is rumored that the Lu family died at the hands of Jinyiwei, but it seems that it is not groundless.

After saying this, Erhu also realized the problem, and grabbed the imperial doctor's collar and threatened.

"You just didn't hear anything!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Wechen didn't hear anything, Wechen just came to see the prisoner!"

When the two tigers were interrogating "Lao Leng", the rest of the Jinyi Guard were not idle, and all those who passed by the gate of Fusi in Beizhen were all arrested and tortured by them.

When the imperial doctor was treating "Lao Leng", Erhu gathered all the valuable interrogation confessions and came to Lao Zhu's room to rest.

"Emperor, that woman is crazy......

Lao Zhu was not surprised when he heard this, seeing that the girl was not very old, and at first glance, she was a person who had not experienced strong winds and waves, and she would definitely not be able to last long under such a bloody scene.

"Any useful news?"

"From other people's confessions, I know that this woman should be an extremely important figure in the White Lotus Sect!"

"In addition, the people on Father-in-law Qin's side also contributed a lot of clues, saying that this woman had been in and out of the Qin Palace, and had been a singer in the Qin Palace's Mansion for a period of time......

Lao Zhu's face showed anger when he heard this, and he hammered down the bed.

"It's Zhu Fan again, this rebel!"

"How does Zhu Fan explain it, what role did he play in this incident?"

"Back to the emperor, King Qin......"

Lao Zhu interrupted mercilessly.

"What kind of family is he, King Qin!"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly changed his words.

"Back to the emperor, Qin Shu explained that he was only in charge of passing the word, and he didn't know who the person who asked him to pass the word was, but he just received a note."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Trick the devil into going!"

"Take that rebel son to meet people and see if they recognize this woman!"

"No!"

After a while, Erhu came back again.

"The emperor is like a god, according to Qin Shuren's confession, this woman is the Holy Daughter of the White Lotus, named Han Yushang, and she is the niece of the current King Xiao Ming."

"This woman is friendly with the Lu family, and she is also friendly with the Deng family, the side concubine of the Qin Shu people, and once planned to assassinate His Royal Highness the imperial grandson......

"It was the time when the imperial grandson went to the Qinglou under the name of King Qin to listen to the song, but before he could assassinate him, our people arrived......

"Qin Shu also confessed that this woman has a deep relationship with the Lu family and has done a lot of things for the Lu family, and the uncle's death may also be related to this woman......

"Hiss·····"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he only felt like his chest was on fire, and it was really new and old hatreds together.

"We're going to cut her with a thousand cuts!"

"Did the rebel say what the name of the current King Xiao Ming is?"

The second tiger shook his head when he heard this.

"Nope!"

"Qin Shuren said that he didn't know either, he had never seen King Xiao Ming, and all the contact with the White Lotus Sect was carried out through this woman."

"Oh yes...... According to Qin Shuren's confession, Long Guangshan's assassination and Xiaolingwei's assassination should have been done by this woman."

"It's just that he didn't participate in those two times, and he listened to what Deng said later."

"Deng?"

"It's this Deng again!"

Lao Zhu scolded angrily.

"Arrest this Deng and torture him!"

"No!"

In fact, Erhu had already ordered someone to do this, and it is estimated that the prisoner was already on his way to Beizhen Fusi, where could he wait for Lao Zhu to remind him?

"Emperor, what now?"

"Stop killing, lest you really kill King Xiao Ming!"

"Oh......"

Erhu was a little unhappy when he heard this, back then his eldest brother relied on the merit of killing King Xiao Ming to earn the title of Earl Zhongyi for his eldest nephew, and now he still wants to rely on the new King Xiao Ming to make meritorious service, I'm afraid the emperor will not give him this opportunity.

Lao Zhu seemed to have guessed what was going on in Erhu's heart, and said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, we will help you think about your title, and we will never let you serve us in vain!"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly lowered his head in shame.

"Emperor, you misunderstood, you just think that you have to eliminate evil!"

"Actually, it was indeed a bit of a shame that we killed Han Lin'er back then. If that girl can explain honestly, we can really look at Han Lin'er's face, spare their lives, and leave a line of incense for Han Lin'er......

Lao Zhu sighed for a short time, and suddenly looked at Erhu curiously.

"By the way, how did you catch this girl?"

"Let's hear Qin Deshun say, you just passed by the tea beach to drink tea, and you noticed that this woman was abnormal, and then you arrested people?"

Erhu scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this.

"Emperor, don't laugh if you tell the truth......

"Say it, let's promise not to laugh!"

"When I took the tea bowl, I suddenly smelled a strand on this woman's body

A faint smell of fat powder."

"Emperor, what do you think, this woman looks like a seventy-year-old woman, but she has the fragrance of a girl's fat powder on her body, which is obviously unreasonable!"

"I grabbed the other party's hand and looked at it, and I was more sure of my guess."

"Although the skin on this woman's hand is dark brown, it is soft and smooth when held on the hand, and it does not look like the skin of a seventy-year-old woman......

Zhu Yuanzhang was stupid when he heard this, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back two words.

"You're such a pervert!"

"Hurry back and interrogate, make sure to find out the whereabouts of our eldest grandson!"

"No!"

Late at night, the prison of the criminal department.

In a dark cell, two Huizhou officials were being held.

One is the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the other is an ordinary member of the Guozi Prison.

Both of them were charged with the same crime, leaking the secrets of the imperial court and reporting to the Huizhou officials and gentry. Originally, the two were arrested by Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei suspected that the crime committed by the two was too small, and they were thrown to punishment after interrogation

After all, there may be more than a dozen officials who leaked secrets, and there is no direct evidence for these two, only because they were born in Huizhou, so they are barely related.

Han Qing also felt that he didn't have a big deal, so after being admitted to the prison of the Criminal Department, instead of rushing to escape, he chatted with a group of corrupt officials across the wall with great interest.

Didn't he just want to know how the imperial court worked, and then try to overthrow the Ming court from the inside?

Otherwise, just relying on the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, they would not have succeeded in rebelling for a hundred years.

After chatting for a few days, Han Qing was an eye-opener.

He finally knew why Zhu Tuhu hated corrupt officials so much, and the money-making methods of these corrupt officials were really eye-opening.

What is deceiving the superiors and subordinates, what is cleverly setting up a name, and what is bending into a trick...... Basically, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they don't dare to do.

However, he also learned a lot about the system of the imperial court from the side, as well as the relationship between officials and officials.

He believes that with these secrets, he will be able to better integrate into the Ming officialdom after going out in the future, so as to make friends with more officials and let more officials do things for themselves!

But Dong Hui, a cellmate in the same cell as him, was not so leisurely.

Han Qing couldn't wait for him, but Dong Hui, who was in the same garage as him, had been scared all day long since he entered the cell, and he was always worried that he would be pulled out and clicked.

Whenever he heard the door of the cell ring, Dong Hui would hide in the corner in fright and tremble.

On this day, the cell door suddenly rang, and Dong Hui hid in the corner again.

"Xiao Dong, what are you afraid of every day?"

"Don't say that we are not guilty, even if we are guilty, it is just a military allocation, it's not a big deal!"

"No, no, no...... You don't understand...... His Majesty the Emperor has never been soft on killing, who knows if there is something else......

"Is there something about you that you don't know?"

"Hu Weiyong's case is not over yet, my family ...... My family used to have a relationship with Hu Weiyong's family......

"Shhhh

Han Qing could only shrug helplessly when he heard this, and he found that some officials of the Ming Dynasty were frightened by the Zhu butcher.

But it's also strange, since they are so afraid of Zhu Butcher, why do they dare to be corrupt officials?

Just as Han Qing was thinking this, the jailer knocked on the cell door with an iron rod and sent a table of wine and food to each cell.

"This is a severed head meal, you should eat, you should drink, you will not have this treatment when you go to Jinyiwei tomorrow!"

When Dong Hui heard the decapitated meal, he directly collapsed and cried with his head covered. When the inmates in the other cells heard this, they were also frightened and wept, expressing their last nostalgia for the world.

The jailers have long been surprised by this, after all, tens of thousands of officials have died over the years, not to mention tens of thousands. "Don't be mourned, hurry up and eat, if you don't eat now, you won't have a chance!"

Han Qing asked unwillingly.

"Brother Wang, the two of us didn't do much, right?

Why did we both have to go to Jinyiwei?"

"Besides, didn't we just come from there?"

Hearing this, jailer Wang Wu looked around and said in a low voice.

"I don't know the specifics, I just heard from the brothers on Jinyiwei's side that there weren't enough people to kill, so I urgently transferred a batch from the Criminal Department..."

"What?"

When Han Qing heard this, he only felt that his brain was not enough, what did he call not enough to kill?

Could it be that Jinyiwei kills people every day?

But one thing is certain, that is, after entering Jinyiwei, his little life is estimated to be explained. "There's Brother Lao!"

"There's a little silver here, and I won't need it in the future, so I'll leave it to Brother Wang to buy wine and eat!"

Wang Wu carefully took the silver, and then said angrily.

"Don't eat yet, I'll bring you some good wine and food in a while......

"Thank you very much!"

"I don't want food and drink, you just need to prepare a ...... for me."
