Chapter 192: Qi Tai confesses! Huang Zicheng was executed!
Jiang Xuan's voice fell, and everyone in the audience was shocked.
Although Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are inextricably linked, everyone knows it.
But normally, Huang Zicheng's plot is so big that Qi Tai will not hear about it.
Zhu Yunwen and Chang Mao's expressions were even more nervous.
Once the matter of collusion with the Japanese is leaked, then everything is over.
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, crossed his heart, and stood up.
"Jiang Xuan, Qi Tai is the left attendant of the military department, even if there is a violation of the law, it is not for you to take it."
He's gone.
Knowing that Jiang Zhen dared to come to get Qitai, he must have caught the evidence, and at this time, he could only guarantee it first.
It doesn't matter if you keep it or not, it's just a show of attitude, see if you can find an opportunity, explain Qi Tai well, and let him not confess himself.
And his current behavior is to win Qi Tai's favor.
"Yes, King Heng is right!"
"The left squire of the military department is an important minister in the court, and he must not take it lightly without a will."
"Jiang Xuan, do you have a decree from His Majesty, or an order from His Royal Highness the Taisun?"
When all the officials saw King Heng blocking them, they all spoke out one after another.
Jiang Xuan's face darkened.
Just now, through Yang Shiqi's interrogation, he found out what Qi Tai had committed.
He immediately rushed to the lobby of the Criminal Department, but he had not yet come to tell His Royal Highness the Taisun and Emperor Ming.
Originally, I thought that I would control Qi Tai first, so that he would not escape, or consult with others again and do bad things.
Unexpectedly, King Heng and the Manchu Dynasty were all in front.
It's a bit tricky.
At this time, retreat, wait for the decree to be obtained, and then come to arrest, the other party will definitely be on guard.
If the opportunity is missed, some key evidence of the crime may be destroyed.
No more people can be traced.
He was in a hurry to come, just to catch the other party off guard.
Unexpectedly, he was instead generalized.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a faint and immature voice sounded.
"Lone is here!"
Zhu Yunxi's figure walked out of the back hall.
"See His Royal Highness Taisun!"
The officials hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Yunwen and Chang Mao suddenly stood on the spot as if they were being poured with a basin of cold water.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the people in the audience and said to Qi Tai: "Qi Tai, you come with Gu." ”
Qi Tai bowed his head and bent down to follow.
Jiang Xuan was afraid that the grandson would make a mistake, so he hurriedly entered.
The inner hall is simple.
Zhu Yunxi sat down above, Jiang Zhen took out a stack of papers from his arms, and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is the confession of the person on the ship, as well as the release order issued by Qi Tai. ”
"According to investigation, Qi Tai knew that there were Japanese pirates in private possession, but he still issued a release document for him to transport military supplies in the name of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, colluding with the Japanese and with bad intentions."
Zhu Yunxi motioned for Jiang Zhen to put it down, and did not flip through it, but looked at Qi Tai and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Zitai was silent.
"You are the township test Xie Yuan in the seventeenth year of Hongwu, the jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, since you became an official, you have successively served as the director of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Ministry of War."
"I have been an official for many years, but I have never done anything wrong."
"Don't be greedy or dirty, be loyal to your duties, you are a hard-working and capable official, and you want to make a career."
"But, after a mistake in your thoughts, you went astray, and to this day, you are still unwilling to repent?"
Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry, spoke lightly, and then looked at him.
When he heard Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng talking just now, he keenly noticed that this person was confused and wavering in his heart.
"You also saw Huang Zicheng's fate."
"Do you really think that your concept is not wrong, and you want to go all the way to the dark?"
"Can you be worthy of the books you read, the words of the saints, the original intention of the past, and the people of the world?"
"Hold on to the old ways, and be self-contained. Afraid that others will see through their own selfish intentions, they do not have the public heart to obey the truth. ”
"If you really have the idea of half sharing the good of the Ming Dynasty, you should abandon your selfish intentions and obey righteousness from goodness."
Qi Tai closed his eyes, then slowly opened them.
"Your Royal Highness, if I confess, can the sins be cleared up?"
"Can't!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "But you can die with peace of mind!" ”
"yes!" Qi Tai muttered: "One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, the obsession is too deep, and I am enchanted." ”
"Now that I think about it, the things that His Royal Highness Taisun has done are very understandable, but they are all things that are beneficial to the world and the people."
"I am lonely and unheard, I don't know how to learn, and I don't want to accept new things, but I hate my grandson for no reason, so that I make a big mistake."
"I hesitated when I came to see me, but in the end, I agreed to his request."
"Unexpectedly, Qi Tai also concealed many things, and he didn't explain that Ouyang Lun was also involved."
"But in any case, I know about the Japanese invaders."
He raised his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, I am willing to confess!" ”

……
Jinling Execution Ground.
Located in the middle of the city.
Ordinary is not enabled.
Because according to the law, ordinary prisoners have to wait for the autumn to be executed.
That is the only day of the year when people are killed.
Only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be sentenced to summary execution, or a heavier capital punishment.
Today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, but two people have been brought in the prisoner's car.
"The two of them, are they the original Dali Temple Secretary Huang Zicheng and the left attendant Lang Qitai of the Criminal Department?"
"Dali Siqing, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, these two are animals who collude with the Japanese Kou!"
"I can't imagine that there are such people in the world who are inferior to beasts, and they collude with the Japanese and want the court to lose the war, and they are still officials of the Ming Dynasty."
"This kind of person also has today, it can be seen that the cycle of heavenly law is unpleasant, and retribution is not happy!"
"Smash him!"
……
The onlookers roared, and countless rotten vegetables and rotten things, all kinds of dirty things, smashed straight towards Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.
"Livestock!"
"Adversary!"
"Pigs and dogs are inferior to something!"
……
Curses erupted from the throats of the people.
The "People's Daily" was issued, which also published the facts of Huang Zicheng's crime in detail, and Qi Tai was also identified as his accomplice, which made the people of Jinling City indignant.
Jinling and Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiashan and other places, only a few hundred miles apart, close trade exchanges.
Many people in the city still moved from there, or have relatives and friends there.
For this kind of person who colludes with the Japanese bandits, he naturally hates them to the core.
Today, I heard that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were going to be executed, and in Jinling City, there were thousands of empty alleys.
Countless people came from the city to watch.
The prisoner car arrived at the execution ground, and Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were escorted up.
Qi Tai's expression was calm and indifferent.
At this moment, he actually felt a little relieved.
It's all over.
turned around and glanced sideways at Huang Zicheng next to him.
At this time, Huang Zicheng kept repeating: "Am I wrong...... I'm not wrong...... I was wrong...... I'm not wrong......"
Qi Tai sighed softly: "You are wrong, you and I are wrong, very wrong." ”
Huang Zicheng's voice suddenly stopped, and he turned his head a little dazedly.
In fact, his eyeballs had been gouged out by himself, and he could not see anything but hear.
"In the final analysis, you and I are just unwilling to accept change, and we only know how to stick to our own opinions, rather than follow them."
"His Royal Highness Taisun is the most suitable monarch for the Ming Dynasty."
"What he does, such as the new army, you think it can't work, but in fact, it is the strongest combat power."
"Like a sweet potato, you and I can't find it, but he can."
"For example, I have been in the military department for many years, and I think that it is impossible to calm down once and it will become a long-term trend, but it turns out that I was wrong."
"All these things are your delusion, thinking that they are incapable."
"But the facts, Taisun Zhineng wants to be above your and my imagination."
"The world of the Ming Dynasty will move towards unprecedented prosperity under his governance."
"You and I are both sinners, and the last use is to use my own life to help Taisun clear the resistance to change."
Huang Zicheng's body suddenly trembled.
"I was wrong...... Hahaha...... I was wrong...... I deserve a thousand cuts! I deserve it......"
He yelled frantically.
The executioner didn't care about that.
"The hour has come, let's start the execution!"
