Zhang Juzheng died of illness, all his family members were in trouble, and Zhang Jingxiu was already willing to die when he was sent to the frontier by Shenzong Wanli.

But he was unwilling to die in the hands of rebellious ministers like Jiang Jingzhong.

Later, Zhang Jingxiu was rescued by Fang Baisui, until Gu Youdao sent someone to send Zhang Jingxiu to Ryukyu for refuge, but the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, and Zhang Jingxiu's boat was intercepted soon after going to sea.

Zhang Jingxiu only said that when he was no longer lucky, after these officers and soldiers of the imperial court killed all the beggar disciples who came to escort Zhang Jingxiu, they did not kill Zhang Jingxiu, but tied him to this Kaiyuan Temple.

At this time, what Zhang Jingxiu thought in his heart was that he was afraid that the eunuch party would definitely torture him to death with a thousand cuts, but Zhang Jingxiu was wrong again.

When he first arrived at Kaiyuan Temple, Nan Tianba locked Zhang Jingxiu in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to take care of him with good food and drink, but he kept lobbying him to tell him the whereabouts of the righteous people in the rivers and lakes who robbed him.

Zhang Jingxiu naturally refused to say it, and after repeating it, he really angered Nan Tianba, and when the lure failed, he began to torture him.

In this way, Zhang Jingxiu's heart was much more stable, in his thoughts, the eunuchs of Nan Tianba caught him and did not kill him, just to force him to tell the whereabouts of Gu Youdao and other Jiangnan righteous people, as long as he would rather die than say it, he would not succeed in the eunuchs' treacherous scheme.

And what Nan Tianba just said today, things are obviously not as simple as Zhang Jingxiu thought.

Seeing Zhang Jingxiu's puzzled expression, Nan Tianba said proudly: "Zhang Gongzi, you have been trapped in this Kaiyuan Temple for a long time, do you say that those friends in your mouth will find ways to find you, if they learn that a group of officials and soldiers from this Kaiyuan Temple in Fuzhou City will find here." ”

The more Nan Tianba spoke, the more proud he became, and continued: "Even if those traitors can't notice this Kaiyuan Temple, but I have already sent my subordinates to spread your news in the city, Zhang Gongzi, you don't have to say anything and don't do anything, as long as you are in this Kaiyuan Temple, those rebels will naturally rush to this Kaiyuan Temple like moths to the fire." ”

"And this Kaiyuan Temple is now not only gathered in the elite soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but also a large team of brocade guards, Zhang Gongzi, do you think those traitorous friends of yours can still go?"

Zhang Jingxiu said hatefully: "You eunuchs are so despicable, Brother Fang, they will definitely see through your conspiracy." ”

Nan Tianba said disdainfully: "Zhang Gongzi, you are wrong, this is not a conspiracy, it is simply a conspiracy, but even if those traitors know my arrangement in Kaiyuan Temple, this group of reckless men who claim to be loyal and heroic will not not come." ”

"It's just because they are the same as you, they all regard their reputation as more important than their lives, but Zhang Gongzi, you can rest assured, when this group of traitors is eliminated, everyone in the rivers and lakes will know that it was you, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Gongzi, and the court that attracted them, and you can wipe out Gu Youdao's gang of rebels in Fuzhou, Zhang Gongzi, you are naturally indispensable. ”

Zhang Jingxiu's eyes were split, he had no doubt that Nan Tianba's gang of eunuchs could do such a despicable thing, if it was really according to what Nan Tianba said, Zhang Jingxiu was afraid that he would become an accomplice of the eunuch party spurned by everyone on the rivers and lakes, no matter how he defended.

As long as Nan Tianba and others wipe out the forces opposing the eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River, even if Zhang Jingxiu is released, Zhang Jingxiu will be cut by heroes from all over the Central Plains.

Zhang Jingxiu said angrily: "You are so poisonous......

Nan Tianba laughed and said: "Poison? is the so-called small amount of non-gentleman, no poison is not a husband, someone in Nan made this decision is also to serve the court to eliminate the chaotic party, I am afraid that in the future, I will be able to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, but it is a pity that Zhang Gongzi and Ling Zun ...... Tut-tut......"

Zhang Jingxiu said with his last hope, and said with a miserable smile: "Don't be complacent too early, you eunuchs, you people, may not be Brother Fang's opponents." ”

Nan Tianba's heart moved when he heard Zhang Jingxiu say this, and he learned from Ban Wangye that this time Zhang Jingxiu was trapped in Kaiyuan Temple in order to lure Gu Youdao and other beggars to rebel and take the bait.

But I don't know anything about how many of these rebels are Gu Youdao Fang's 100-year-old, and at this time Zhang Jingxiu said that these people may not be the opponents of the traitorous party, but in one respect, it reveals the strength of Gu Youdao and others.

Nan Tianba pretended to be unimpressed on the surface and said: "Zhang Gongzi, you may not have heard Nan's words just now, at this time, this Kaiyuan Temple is not the usual Kaiyuan Temple, now there are not only thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the imperial court in the temple, but also a large number of Jinyi Guard masters to guard, how much ability can your big brother Fang have, can this Kaiyuan Temple be broken?"

Zhang Jingxiu said excitedly: "Brother Fang, although there are not many of them, there are still Gu Gang Masters here, and there are ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Nantian said domineeringly: "Who else is there besides the beggar gang leader Gu Youdao?" Why didn't Zhang Gongzi say it?"

Zhang Jingxiu said: "Phew, dog thief, don't you want to ask Brother Fang for their information from me. ”

In the past, Zhang Jingxiu kept silent, but Nan Tianba didn't have anything to do, at this time, it was obvious that what Nan Tianba said before had an effect, since Zhang Jingxiu was willing to open his mouth, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get something.

Nan Tianba's eyes rolled to his heart, and he patted his forehead as if he had just remembered something, and continued: "Zhang Gongzi may not know yet, these people led by this general are just the vanguard troops, and Lord Jiang will lead the Dongchang army to arrive in Fuzhou in a few days. ”

Zhang Jingxiu said hatefully: "Is Jiang Jingzhong, a dog thief, also coming?"

Nan Tianba knew that today's heat was almost over, and finally said: "Zhang Gongzi, think about it yourself, if you are willing to cooperate with us to tell the whereabouts of Fang Baisui and Gu Youdao, and wait until the rebellion is suppressed, Nan Mou will definitely ask for credit for Zhang Gongzi's court, and he will never reveal half a sentence of what Zhang Gongzi said." ”

Zhang Jingxiu was sealed by Nan Tianba, and he slowly closed his eyes weakly, and asked: "What if you don't agree?" You will continue to use Zhang as Erbium, and after you succeed, you will release the news that Zhang is the internal response of the child, and then do you want to kill Zhang, and detain Zhang's death on Brother Fang's body." ”

Nan Tianba praised: "Zhang Gongzi is really a smart person, the matter has come to this point, Nan Mou won't say much, at this time, there is still some time before the arrival of Master Jiang's army, Zhang Gongzi himself should think about it clearly." ”

After saying that, Nan Tianba didn't stay in this scripture pavilion for long, and turned around and walked out of the scripture pavilion.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Liu Yishou and the others saw Nan Tianba coming out of the Scripture Pavilion and hurriedly surrounded him.

Nan Tianba said to Liu Yishou: "Liu Zongqi, it's still the same sentence, this surname Zhang is still useful on it, if he comes out with three long and two short, we don't have good fruit, you light it yourself, if he has any requirements, you might as well meet him first, remember to report to me at any time if there is a situation." ”

Liu Yishou nodded again and again, and said resignedly: "General Nan, don't worry, the little one will ask someone to remove those torture instruments when he turns around, and this kid will definitely not go wrong." ”

Nan Tianba said lightly: "This is the best." ”

After speaking, he led the people out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Liu Yishou waited until Nan Tianba was far away, and then spat at the side fiercely, and led the second, third, fourth, and fifth children back to the Scripture Pavilion.

After moving the mahogany bookshelf at the door again and blocking the door, he put away the torture instruments on the two offering tables in the middle of the Scripture Pavilion.

The second and fourth children were full of wine and food on one of the offering tables, and then moved the offering table to Zhang Jingxiu, and Zhang Jingxiu refused to accept the food and drink they handed to Zhang Jingxiu a few days ago, so at this time they simply put the food and drink in front of Zhang Jingxiu, and then each found a hidden place to rest.

As soon as Liu Yishou sat down, he heard a chaotic noise.

But it was Zhang Jingxiu who swept the meat and wine that the second and fourth children put in front of him from the offering table, and fell all over the ground, and he couldn't help but be angry, as if he wanted to show this unscrupulous prisoner again.

Liu Yishou walked in front of Zhang Jingxiu and was about to make a move, when he suddenly saw the relieved look on Zhang Jingxiu's face, and stopped again as if he understood something.

Let the wine and meat be scattered around Zhang Jingxiu, pick up another teapot on the table, pour some water into it, and then find another place to rest.

Zhang Jingxiu scolded alone for a while, and when he saw that the brocade guards guarding him were still indifferent, he fell asleep groggy.

Let's talk about Xiao Yao's side again, after Nan Tianba entered the Scripture Pavilion for a while, Xiao Yao avoided the soldiers patrolling outside the Scripture Pavilion and the brocade guards hidden everywhere, and touched the roof of the Scripture Pavilion.

When he carefully removed the roof tiles and looked inside, he caught up with Nantian Baping's retinue and said the previous words.

On that day, Xiao Yao learned from Gu Youdao, the leader of the beggar gang, that Zhang Jingxiu was taken away from the sea, and he was suspicious, not to mention that at that time, the gang sent by the beggar gang to escort Zhang Jingxiu was almost wiped out, but only a seriously injured little beggar rushed back to report the news.

When Xiao Yao and the fake Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide visited Kaiyuan Temple at night, Zhang Yide saw the situation of Nan Tianba forcing Zhang Jingxiu to interrogate, which slightly relieved Xiao Yao's doubts, but since these eunuchs wanted to ask Zhang Jingxiu, why didn't they escort Zhang Jingxiu back to Shuntian Mansion first, no matter how bad it was, he should be imprisoned in Fuzhou Mansion, no matter how he thought about it, he should not choose the place of Kaiyuan Temple in the east of the city to detain Zhang Jingxiu.

Not only that, this group of people occupied Kaiyuan Temple with great fanfare, and almost everyone in Fuzhou City knew what it was for.

It wasn't until today that Xiao Yao accidentally found out a little bit of the truth from the mouth of this Nan Tianba, so that the eunuchs caught Zhang Jingxiu but did not kill him, and let go of a beggar on the boat, and the series of incomplanable behaviors of the Kaiyuan Temple in the east of the garrison city all made sense.

When Nan Tianba said that Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of the East Factory, led the army and was also rushing to Fuzhou, Xiao Yao couldn't help but be shocked, it was rumored that Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory, was not only in power, but also a very good martial arts master.

If this Jiang Jingzhong really arrived in Jiangnan, I was afraid that Gu Youdao and the others would not say that they would rescue Zhang Jingxiu, and even they would have a great risk.

Fortunately, according to the following Nan Tianba, it will take some time for Jiang Jingzhong and most of the Dongchang to arrive in Fuzhou.

But this also forced Xiao Yao to have no way out, if Zhang Jingxiu could not be rescued today, he would have no chance when Jiang Jingzhong arrived.

It was to wait until Nan Tianba, Liu Yishou and the others in the Scripture Pavilion quieted down, and Xiao Yao hurriedly took out the thirteen dream-like incense sticks in his arms.

According to the method explained by Jin Yuliang, he lit it and used a special tool to blow it into the house.

This dream-like incense is a dilemma of life and death, carefully prepared by the ghost and the third aunt, colorless and tasteless, and it is extremely difficult to be detected, not to mention that this scripture pavilion is already filled with the original sandalwood fragrance of the scripture building, the bloody smell of torture for several days, and the smell of wine emitted from the wine jar that Zhang Jingxiu overturned later.

After about half an hour, thirteen incense sticks like a dream burned out, and the snoring sound faintly sounded in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, when Xiao Yao looked through the gap in the tiles, he saw that Liu Yishou and Zhang Jingxiu, the chief banner of the brocade guard, had fallen asleep, and the other four people were distributed in several hidden places in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Xiao Yao couldn't see it, but it was expected that he should also be caught in the incense.

Xiao Yao waited for a while for caution, and then took out a chess piece from his arms and hit it through the gap in the tiles to a scripture book on the mahogany bookshelf.

The mahogany bookshelf was moved around by Liu Yishou and others, and many of the books on the bookshelf were crooked, and half of the book selected by Xiao Yao was already hanging outside when it was moved.

After Xiao Yao hit him with a chess piece, he suddenly fell to the ground, and after the scripture book fell, Xiao Yao hurriedly held his breath and listened attentively, but there was no human voice, so he completely put his mind at ease.

The tiles of the roof were slowly lifted one by one until a large hole was revealed that was large enough to enter and exit, and a sturdy thin rope left by Zhang Yide was tied to the top of the gilded treasure at the top of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and after testing the strength, I felt that there was no problem.

Then the rope fell silently from the hole in the roof.

At this time, Zhang Jingxiu in the Scripture Pavilion was obviously also caught in a dream, and slept very deeply.

It's just that in order to let Zhang Jingxiu eat by himself, Liu Yishou and the others did not tie Zhang Jingxiu to the giant pillar with a rope, but locked it on the cross pillar with an iron chain, so that Zhang Jingxiu's hands could simply move to eat.

A touch of silver light burst out, and there were two soft sounds, Xiao Yao had already used the Qiushui Sword to cut off the iron cuffs on Zhang Jingxiu's wrists and ankles, picked up the sleeping Zhang Jingxiu, and pulled the tied rope with a slight borrow, and took Zhang Jingxiu out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Before Xiao Yao could stand firm, there was a sudden noise of people in Kaiyuan Temple, Xiao Yao's heart moved to the sky to see that it was the time when the moon was in the sky, and then looked to the west of Kaiyuan Temple, only to see the fire at the west gate of Kaiyuan Temple, obviously Gu Youdao and others began to move.
