This person is really treacherous, this piece of music is handed over, and I can't tell it clearly.

Liu Lian gritted his teeth secretly.

"If you just rely on the little money given by the emperor, you won't be able to earn it for the rest of your life. Do you want to be like your father and live a life of hardship? Zhu Wenzheng asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and personally took the pen and dipped it in ink and stretched it out in front of Liu Lian, "Write." In fact, this king can also stun you and press your mudra directly. But in the future, we still have to be ministers of the same dynasty, and this king doesn't want to be so ugly. ”

Liu Lian took a step back: "Bah, if this official wants to be in the same stream with you, this official would rather die." ”

Zhu Wenzheng put down his pen: "This king advises you to be smarter." ”

He clapped his hands, and several guards came up with torture instruments.

The spikes of the torture instrument were stained with dried blood and flesh, and there was a rancid smell.

Zhu Wenzheng smiled: "Why are you so hard, you are a scholar, you can withstand a few blows, and in the end you still have to give in." It's better to cooperate at the beginning and suffer less. ”

Liu Lian's face turned pale, stared at those torture instruments, and said, "Lord Wang, you have to think clearly." This official is a minister sent by the emperor. Originally, private mining of gold, silver and copper mines was a trivial matter. If it is a private court, it is a big crime to kill the officials of the court. Could it be that the prince thinks that the emperor will spare you this time? Before the emperor came out, he said that he told the official to find out. He also sent a pro-army lieutenant to protect his own officer, thinking that he already knew what the prince had done, and he had to deal with it strictly. It's useless for you to embarrass Weichen, because you can't hide it!! ”

Zhu Wenzheng is now riding a tiger, and how can he be willing to hand over all the white flowers and silver to the national treasury?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, just say whether you want to or not." ”

That's it.

Liu Lian raised his head and took a deep breath and said, "Let Weichen think again." Weichen wanted to go to the toilet, but he held back all the way, and he was a little anxious. ”

Zhu Wenzheng thought it was funny: "Go." ”

You can't run away anyway.

He waved his hand at the two guards and motioned for them to follow.

Liu Lian went to the backyard and said to the person who followed him: "The official goes to the toilet, do you all have to follow?" ”

The people who followed him exchanged glances and stopped.

The wall here is one foot high, and this powerless civil official can't fly out at all unless he grows wings.

Liu Lian entered the backyard and walked in the direction of the latrine, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and went straight to the well.

The two of them shouted in fright: "Lord Liu, what are you going to do." ”

Pounce on them together.

It's too far away, and the whip can't reach it.

When they pounced on the well, Liu Lian had jumped into the well without hesitation.

There was a "plop" and a huge splash of water.

The wellhead is narrow, deep and slippery.

The guards hurriedly threw down the bucket with the rope on it, reached in, and shouted, "Lord Liu, catch the bucket quickly." We'll pull you up. ”

Liu Lian resolutely pushed the bucket away, closed his eyes, and did not struggle.

His long cotton robe, although shabby and not sheltered from the wind, was still extremely heavy after absorbing water.

His gray figure was dragged down and quickly disappeared into the dark and cold well.

Zhu Wenzheng heard the noise in the backyard, and was puzzled, so he ran over to look, but saw the two guards poking around in the well with poles, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

The two guards were shocked by Liu Lian's resolute death, and only then did they remember that they should ask for help. They cried loudly: "Lord Liu would rather die than give in, and jumped into the well." ”

"We tried to save him, but he wouldn't let him. Why didn't he let us save him. ”

Zhu Wenzheng's hands and feet were cold, and he shouted hysterically: "Quick, jump down and fish." If he dies, we all have to die. ”

The guards took off their robes and jumped down, and it took a long time to fish Liu Lian up and put him on the ground.

The guards gathered around him and wept.

They didn't even understand why they were so sad at this moment, when they were so accustomed to killing and dying.

Liu Lian had long since lost his breath, and he was as pale as a jade carving.

With his head held high, his back straight, his brows furrowed, and his fists clenched, he seemed to be protesting and condemning Zhu Wenzheng until the end.

Zhu Wenzheng's face was even more ugly than Liu Lian, he sat on the ground and muttered, "It's dead, it's dead." This time, I'm completely finished. ”

Suddenly it rained in the sky, and it was dripping, as if crying.

After the pro-army lieutenants woke up, they all cried bitterly, bought a coffin, hastily dressed Liu Lian, and took a ship to return to the sky.

The leader of the lieutenants who traveled from then on reported to Lao Zhu what happened and what they had found.

Lao Zhu was so angry that his brain was smoking, he gritted his silver teeth with hatred, and slapped the table and shouted: "Let's catch Zhu Wenzheng's brute back." Our old Zhu family does not have such a person. ”

Zhu Biao cried silently: Alas, this fool. How can it be so strong.

Zhu Bai was also shocked: Lao Zhu didn't look away. Liu Lian is indeed loyal and capable.

It's a pity that the world makes people. God does not give this good minister a chance to display his ambitions.

Lao Zhu asked someone to send Liu Lian's body back to Qingtian and wrote a letter to explain what had happened.

Because poor Liu Bowen lost his eldest son, he no longer sent people to monitor him.

Liu Bowen held the coffin and cried bitterly, almost fainted, and did not eat or drink for several days.

What's the surprise?

It must have been Zhu Chongba who instructed Zhu Wenzheng to kill my son in order to make me have no successor.

Come on, come on.

I'll let you know what real viciousness is!!

-----

A month later, Zhu Wenzheng was escorted to heaven, kneeling on the floor of the imperial study and shivering.

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and asked, "Say, how did Liu Lian die?" How dare you force him to death? Who gave you the guts!! ”

Zhu Wenzheng stammered and said, "Uncle, don't listen to those people's nonsense, Liu Lian was drunk and fell into the well and died." ”

Lao Zhu was so angry that he picked up the inkstone and was about to smash Zhu Wenzheng, but was stopped by Zhu Biao.

"Father, he is my cousin after all. Your only nephew. ”

Lao Zhu sat back and waved his hand weakly: "Lock him up, don't let us see him again in this life." ”

Zhu Wenzheng was completely placed under house arrest and deprived of his knighthood.

This time, he couldn't even get out of the house.

Now it's really "the widow died of her son", and there is no thought.

His wife and children blamed Zhu Wenzheng for not being the king of Nanchang and doing so many things as a demon, so naturally he didn't have a good face for him.

However, Zhu Wenzheng seems to have completely failed to notice this.

He wandered around the courtyard like a ghost every day like a ghost, wearing his underwear, and muttering words in his mouth: "How can there be such a person in this world, who would rather die than gold and silver." ”

"I don't understand. I don't understand, Liu Lian, you come to life, tell me clearly. ”

"Oh gold, a lot of gold. Why don't you?! Why can't I ask for it?! ”

At night, I had a nightmare and screamed: "Liu Lian, don't come here, you jumped into the well by yourself, it's none of my business." ”

"All the gold is given to you, all to you. I don't want it. ”
