Chapter 122: Life and Death Depend on Each Other
Yan Yuze shouted in a lost voice: "General Zhu, he is a key offender of the imperial court, and he can't be released." β
Zhu Cheng replied coldly: "Yan Yuze, you are the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard, it is your business to arrest the criminals, the thieves have retreated, my task has been completed, soldiers, let's go." β
Yan Yuze said viciously: "General Zhu, if I report truthfully to the saint, it is not a good thing for the general, you don't know how determined the saint is to arrest Zhu Yunwen, the Shen Mansion is implicated in Emperor Jianwen, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans, you let go of the crime today, even if the saint trusts you again, he will investigate to the end, the general should think twice." β
Zhu Cheng stopped.
Yan Yuze is right, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di has hated Zhu Yunwen to the bone, anyone who prevents the arrest of Zhu Yunwen will be ruined, and in the end even the corpse has to be dug up and the bones are scattered, although he is related to the saint and is deeply favored by the saint, but when it comes to Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di will not talk about family affection, Zhu Yunwen is still his nephew, and he still chases and kills, isn't the imperial historian Jingqing the best example, Zhu Di's confidant when he was the king of Yan Jingqing was arrested in the last dynasty to kill the king, Zhu Di made people brush his flesh with an iron brush, leaving only Bai Sensen's bones, which is creepyγ
Whistleblowing is Jinyiwei's specialty, Yan Yuze is a close minister of the saint, a mouth can be reversed in black and white, the saint listens to him, Zhu Cheng doesn't want to see his wife separated and his family ruined.
He hesitated.
Shen Yunhe laughed, and after laughing, Shen Yunhe looked at Zhu Cheng and said: "General Zhu, among all the generals of the Ming army, you are the only one who is a righteous gentleman, Yan Yuze is right, let me go Zhu Di will not let you go, and it is impossible to arrest me alive." Get out of the way, my wife and I have something to say. β
Zhu Cheng nodded.
The soldiers dodged away, forming a new encirclement in the distance.
Shen Yunhe looked at his wife Ye Siyan and said, "Siyan, I'm sorry, my husband is incompetent and I implicated you." β
Ye Siyan smiled slightly and replied: "What did my husband say, I said that we have to live and die together, Siyan is voluntary, and it is my greatest happiness to be able to die with my husband." β
Shen Yunhe gently took her into his arms, the two looked at each other, Shen Yunhe said: "Siyan, I have no complaints in my life to be with you, I really want to thank Xueliu, we have been with each other for more than ten years, and we have never blushed, Yixian and Sirui, Mengrui have all grown up, our task has been completed, and we have no regrets." β
Ye Siyan nodded and said, "Yes, I have no regrets about dying." β
The two leaned close to each other, stabbed each other with knives into each other's bodies, and died laughing.
Zhu Cheng sighed lightly, and said silently in his heart: "Shen Yunhe, forgive me for not being able to do anything, but I will do my best to protect the descendants of the Shen family, and that's all I can do." β
Yan Yuze's face was pale, Lan Lingxi lowered his head, and didn't say a word for a long time.
The news that the martial arts people assisted the Shen Mansion in the rebellion reached the imperial court, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was furious, and then he remembered Shen Hongwen who was imprisoned on death row, he had sent the eunuch Wang Yu to be a tax collector, and Wang Yu came back and said that Shen Hongwen did not admit his guilt and wanted to meet the saint, but Zhu Di did not speak. Jinyi Weiti rode the banquet Yuze back with the corpses of Shen Yunhe and his wife, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen didn't even see a shadow, Zhu Di felt that it was a great shame, while ordering Jinyi Wei to arrest the rebellious martial arts heroes, while thinking about Shen Hongwen, Zhu Di**'s mind even appeared that Shen Hongwen and Zhu Yunwen secretly colluded, discussing how to overthrow themselves and seize the throne, the sword in Emperor Jianwen's hand was about to stab his neck, just like when he wanted to stab the sword into his nephew's neck, blood gushed out.
Zhu Di didn't want to wait, he was going to have a good talk with Shen Hongwen, salute first and then soldier, he had the method of killing.
Shen Hongwen waited anxiously in the death row, there has never been a shortage of prisoners on the death row of the Criminal Department, and the smell of blood has never disappeared, the old man leaves, the new man comes in, the new man becomes the old man and leaves, and another batch of new people come in, do the math, no new person will live for ten days, ten days is a cycle, people's lives can spend the last ten days here, and the last ten days are not easy, the ten-day punishment is enough to destroy all the will of a person, talk nonsense, confess more unfortunate people, and the cycle will never end.
Shen Hongwen is the longest living prisoner, and the only prisoner who has not been punished, Shen Hongwen counts the days day by day, Zhu Di will not let him live so long, one day less than one day.
Jin Yiwei finally appeared, Jin Yiwei appeared very imposing, the guard of death row was respectful, bent down to welcome them in, the brocade guard who walked in was brightly dressed, with a scimitar on his waist, neatly arranged, and walked into the prison, all the prisoners were scared and trembling, although they knew that their crimes were not worthy of Jinyiwei's arraignment, they were still shocked.
Jin Yiwei walked to the prison where Shen Hongwen was being held, Shen Hongwen let out a long breath lightly, and finally it was his turn, a feeling of relief rose, he stood up and smiled slightly.
