Chapter 252: A Light in the Imperial Prison!

Imperial Prison is known as the most terrifying place in the Ming Dynasty.

It's dark all year round, blood and violence are the permanent melody here, and the cell is dark and damp, and the stench is incomparable.

The prisoners were all former dignitaries.

But now, these people who were once high up have all been beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, or even directly disabled.

Some of them were cloaked, with a foul smell all over their bodies, both legs were broken, and their bones were exposed, and the flesh and blood attached to them were already pus, and maggots could even be seen wriggling inside.

And some people are even more miserable, with their breasts exposed, and their ribs are scarred as if they have been cut with a sharp weapon.

This is the famous brocade guard torture, playing the pipa.

The purpose of rubbing a knife against the prisoner's ribs is to let the prisoner experience the feeling that life is worse than death.

Very few people can survive the three rounds, because after the three rounds, this kind of pain that goes deep into the bone marrow will make people die of pain.

This is the Ming Imperial Prison, a dim and dark prison full of dead people or prisoners who are about to die.

But since Li entered, the edict here seemed to shine a beam of light.

I saw that in the original dirty prison, a clean and tidy room would be cleared, which did not look like a prison cell, but an inn.

Not only that, Li Jin still lives in a single room, and he is served with good wine and meat for three meals a day, not like a prisoner at all.

Of course, Li Jin paid for these good wines and meats by himself, and asked Jinyiwei to buy them for himself.

After all, having money can not only make the ghost push the ghost, but also make the ghost push the ghost.

Coupled with the care of Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, Li Jin was no one to provoke in the edict.

However, for such a God of Wealth, no one will come to make Li Jin uncomfortable, but everyone likes to greet Li Jin.

Not for anything else, just because Li Jin gave too much.

It has been a month since Li Jin entered the Imperial Prison, but within this month, it seems that everyone has forgotten Li Jin, and no one has taken care of him at all.

Not only did the emperor not send someone to interrogate him, but even Jin Yiwei kept silent about his own affairs.

This made Li Jin really wonder, whether he was dead or alive, this old Zhu gave a quasi-letter, and now he can't go up or down, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

Just when Li Jin was eating and drinking well and lying in the edict prison, Li Jin's old acquaintance Master Huang appeared in the edict prison again.

Li Jin was naturally extremely happy when he saw the visit of his old acquaintance, and immediately beckoned Jinyiwei to prepare wine and food for himself, and he wanted to entertain his old acquaintance in prison.

Master Huang is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since Li Jin was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately ignored Li Jin, wanting Li Jin to suffer hardships in the Imperial Prison.

As for killing Li Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang is not without this idea.

However, after carefully analyzing Li Jin's performance on Wadao, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Li Jin had no idea of rebellion at all.

Among Li Jin's various measures, Zhu Yuanzhang only saw that Li Jin had an uncommon hatred for the Japanese people.

Even the purpose of this raider on Wajima, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was only Li Jin who wanted to take revenge on Wajima, so he organized a so-called East India Company.

Then, in the name of the royal family, he carried out inhumane conquests and killings on Wajima.

But does Zhu Yuanzhang care about these?

The answer is no.

Zhu Yuanzhang only cares about the people of his Ming Dynasty, what kind of people are these Japanese people on the island?

At most, they are the livestock of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and they are not even as good as livestock, so they can only make cattle and horses for the Ming people, and their ancestors have been slaves for generations.

So a month after Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned Li Jin in prison, most of his anger had disappeared.

Only then did I come to the edict to see Li Jin's tragic situation, and then consider whether to pardon Li Jin tomorrow.

Let Li Jin return to Songjiang Mansion, be a good prefect, and continue to work hard for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Li Jin has been away from Shanghu County for too long, and there has been a lack of official management for a long time, so Zhu Yuanzhang is really afraid that something will happen in Shanghu County.

Now the pattern of going to sea in Daming has basically been formed.

Shanghu County will be the largest port base, responsible for pulling goods from the territory of Daming to Shanghu County, and then going to sea for maritime trade.

The government will serve as a port base for North Korea and Wajima, and will be responsible for the export of goods from the north.

The two places, one south and one north, will conduct overseas trade with the Japanese islands of Korea and all the coastal areas of East Asia.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to follow the Song Dynasty and set up a city department to prepare for the official opening of the sea.

Of course, Ying Tianfu, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the first good place, is naturally the most important.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang plans to build the highway from Yingtian City to Dengzhou City.

In this way, Yingtian on land can be completely connected with Shanghu County and Dengzhou City.

On the sea route, Dengzhou City and Shanghu County are interconnected, which can be said to be a very reasonable layout, and it will suppress East Asian countries for hundreds of years in the future.

As a core part of Shanghu County, naturally no accidents can occur.

It was time for Li Jin to be released, but before he was released, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to vent his evil anger.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Imperial Prison, he was originally planning to watch a good show, but he was directly dumbfounded when he saw Li Jin, who was alive, intact, and even a few pounds fat.
