I couldn't help but be a little frightened when I received the teaching in person today.

But for Zhou Xian, Huang Shouren's kind of goods is a bag of soft bones.

Because of the torture methods of Jinyi Guard, this has not yet been used.

And he took it?

With this ability, TM is still in a hurry to fill his own pockets?

Scald!

Huang Shouren didn't dare to say anything.

This is basically the next step must be to ask what to say.

Dou Xiao, who was tied up with Huang Shouren, was already peeing his pants in fright.

His head was buried in the ground like an ostrich, and he didn't dare to breathe.

And he was afraid that Zhou Xian would pay attention to him.

But since Zhou Xian is here, isn't he here to take care of these two buddies?

"Dou Xiao, you are also a beast with a thousand knives, a beast."

"You are a Ming general! The general of Wucheng openly disobeyed the order of the imperial court, Jin Wuwei and the Zhenfu Division passed the message several times, but you were indifferent, and the military salary was sent to you, and you are still obsessed! What's wrong? You guy has three heads and six arms? Do you think that Lord Ben will not dare to punish you for the crime of sitting together?"

What a sitting.

A good nine clans were wiped out.

Hearing this, Dou Xiao trembled with fright, and said incoherently: "My lord, the little one knows that he is wrong, I beg the adult to spare his life!"

Dou Xiao was completely stunned.

Because he witnessed the whole process of Huang Shouren being cut, being hung up as a salted fish, and being splashed awake.

Zhou Xian tried his best to control his hot temper, lest he hack people to death before he could ask anything.

Hurriedly handed the embroidered spring knife to Di Changgong.

Then he returned to his seat and sat down.

"Tell the truth, tell the truth, say anything, and if you have a good attitude, Lord Ben will forgive your people."

Huang Shouren said, "Your Excellency, spare your life! Xia Guan is also innocent, everything is done according to Dou Xiao's instructions."

Dou Xiao was immediately anxious when he heard this, he glanced at Huang Shouren, and hurriedly said to Zhou Xian: "My lord, he is completely a bloody person, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add."

"My lord, Xia Guan is a second-in-command, if there is no instruction from Dou Xiao on the Wucheng side, how dare Xia Guan, after all, he is the number one."

"My lord, I was wronged, it was that guy who sued the wicked."

Zhou Xian smiled: "Okay, it's obvious that the two of you are not convinced."

Especially Dou Xiao.

Di Changgong next to him immediately understood.

Indeed, Dou Xiao was not cut just now, so he was still a little unconvinced.

That's easy!

Brush!

Di Changgong pulled it out, and it was a knife on Dou Xiao's shoulder.

In an instant, blood splattered, and Dou Xiao's screams filled the entire prison.

Then I brought him a brine set.

Until the guy lay on the ground in a daze, and he didn't dare to speak hard anymore.

Zhou Xiancai motioned for Di Changgong to stop.

Then he said to the two of them with a smile, "Zhulian Nine Clans, or confess and be lenient."

Huang Shouren and Dou Xiao scrambled and said, "My lord, the lower officials will explain, and the lower officials will all explain."

"Well, let's talk about it."

Zhou Xian bowed his head and pretended to be indifferent.

Soon, Huang Shouren confessed all the facts of his crime like sprinkling beans in a basket.

Even Dou Xiao, who was guarding the side, added fuel and vinegar to make a supplement.

The brocade guard on one side took the four treasures of the study room to enter.

Once the two of them open up the conversation, the rest of the matter is basically a matter of course.

Zhou Xian took the confession, nodded with satisfaction, and then left here.

After getting this confession, Zhou Xian's heart was already half cold.

He felt an anger that could not be expressed in words.

I don't know how long it took, until I returned to the princess's mansion and saw my sweetheart.

That lingering hatred

to be relieved.

But he still couldn't calm down!

Why is it so difficult?

Just because the other party provided a roster!

But that roster almost covered most of the officials that Zhou Xian knew.

The nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, are the military towns of Xuanfu, from the governor to the officers below, there is no one who can be clean.

Even if the military salary issued by the imperial court was 10 million taels of silver, when it came to the officer, there were only 1,000 taels left!

This is a direct reduction of 10,000 times.

This is not at all the most excessive.

The most excessive thing is that those officers did not have enough oil and water, so they started the idea of food and grass.

They withheld the grain and grass that belonged to the soldiers, and then hoarded it and took it out for money.

With whom?

Replace with Jiannu's full-time boss, Huang Taiji.

Zhou Xian has just found a little eyebrow at present.

This has not been investigated in depth, how much food, grass and ordnance the border army has provided to Jiannu over the years.

You must know that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, basically throughout the entire period, the officials of the border army were all recruiting enemies.

Even the more controversial Yuan Chonghuan is no exception.

Inspector Yuan is like that.

One can imagine how unscrupulous the bigwigs of other border armies will be.

In any case, once the army of a court begins to focus on accumulating wealth, that dynasty will inevitably decline.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this situation was basically very common.

Therefore, even if the emperor can make money in exchange, he will not be able to improve the combat power of the army.

That's really a crazy squeeze for the teammates inside!

Externally, it is only with Jiannu's side.

Why is Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army getting stronger and stronger?

In the final analysis, it was caused by the inaction of the imperial army.

Otherwise, when Li Zicheng was just getting up a little bit, the Nine Border Towns extinguished him as if they were extinguishing a small flame.

Moreover, among Li Zicheng's team, there are many soldiers of the imperial court.

They were all forced to flee the military town and join the rebel army.

Now, the bigger the people who break the king, the more they are.

Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi has not received a military report for three months.

This is both good news and bad news for Zhou Xian.

When the good news came, Sun Chuanting was not defeated.

The bad news is that Sun Chuanting doesn't know how long it can last?

Historically, when Sun Chuanting couldn't support it, Li Zicheng took advantage of the situation to attack the capital.

After besieging the city for a period of time, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain and martyred his country.

"Husband, what are you thinking?" Zhu Yujiao suddenly walked behind Zhou Xian and intimately massaged Zhou Xian's shoulders.

Zhou Xian held Princess Changping's slender jade hand and stood up.

backhanded Zhu Yujiao in his arms, and pulled her to sit on top of him: "I'm fine."

"How can it be okay, I heard from the people in the palace that my husband has caused trouble at the border recently."

"Huh? Who told you?"

"It's all some palace people, and they don't know the situation when they think about it."

"Don't worry, the situation on the border army is still under my control."

Zhou Xian patted the princess's hand, admiring the beauty's gentle posture.

In an instant, Zhou Xian's originally somewhat lost mood also became a little more relaxed.

Zhou Xian couldn't bear it, and said softly, "It's good, it's not as good as my princess."

Zhu Yujiao has gradually become accustomed to Zhou Xian's explicit flirtation in the past few days.
