Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Seeing Xu Xianchun's arrival in person, Huo Weihua, who was sitting in the main hall of the Huo Mansion, smiled miserably, and said to Xu Xianchun: "Master Xu, I hope that Master Xu will reply to His Majesty and Nine Thousand Years on behalf of Huo, just say that Huo made a wrong step, wrong step, now It's night to turn back. Killing the emperor and Jiuqian is for the sake of Huo Weihua's contribution to the country for many years, so that Huo's family can be spared."

Just as he was about to finish his sentence, traces of blood dripped from the corner of Huo Weihua's mouth, showing that he had taken the poison long ago.

Xu Xianchun didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly asked: "Who ordered you? Tell me!"

Huo Weihua just laughed miserably, but he couldn't make a sound. The drug in his abdomen made his liver and intestines feel like a knife was twisted.

Suppressing the severe pain in his stomach, Huo Weihua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Both the emperor and Emperor Tianqi want to make money." As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he died.

Xu Xianchun secretly said bad luck, seeing that Huo Weihua's wide-open eyes were no longer as bright as before after his death, he sighed and greeted the captains of Jinyiwei: "Pick him up and go back."

After returning to the imperial prison at Zhengyangmen, Xu Xianchun discussed with Tian Ergeng, "When we arrive at Zhou Yanru's place, we are no longer the ones who can interrogate him alone. Why don't we ask Cao Changgong to interrogate him together."

As a result, Cao Huachun, who had not returned to the palace since he left the palace to arrest Chen Renzhong, was also brought in, and the three of them interrogated Zhou Yanru together.

Xu Xianchun first said again the words that moved Chen Renzhong before, but he didn't want Zhou Yanru to just keep silent, no matter how much Xu Xianchun tried to persuade him, he just kept silent.

Xu Xianchun was helpless, but smiled, and walked towards Zhou Yanru who was tied to the torture rack.

Seeing this, Tian Ergeng said to Cao Huachun next to him: "I'm afraid Zhou Yanru will go mad with anger like this. Now, Zhou Yanru might as well bite his tongue and commit suicide."

Cao Huachun stared at it and said: "Our family has been in charge of Dongchang since we spent most of our time serving in the palace, so we haven't seen executions yet. Today we have to see it carefully."

Xu Xianchun heard the conversation between the two behind him, deliberately showing off, he simply took a pair of small pliers from the torture table and walked towards Zhou Yanru.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru still looked like a dead dog, Xu Xianchun didn't take it seriously, just grabbed Zhou Yanru's left thumb, and slowly clamped it down, only heard a "beep", the thumb bone was crushed.Zhou Yanru immediately screamed in pain, but his voice was deliberately lowered by himself.

But Xu Xianchun ignored it, reached out and took out a handkerchief from his body, stuffed it into Zhou Yanru's mouth, and then said with a smile: "Old Zhou Ge, don't bark. If you don't bark, Xu will also admire you for being a man." As he said that, he squeezed down on his index finger again with a pair of pliers.

After pinching all five fingers, Xu Xianchun said slowly: "Do you know why Xu doesn't want to ask you for a confession?

Because Chen Renzhong and Imperial Physician Chen had already recruited before you.I asked you earlier because Xu wanted to get the job done. Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Xu slowly concocted the evidence. "

Seeing that Zhou Yanru was in so much pain that he could only whine continuously, but because his mouth was blocked, Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "You are a civil servant in the old district of Zhouge, what kind of tough guy in the army are you?"

Then, he picked up an iron brush and brushed off the flesh on Zhou Yanru's five crushed fingers, saying: "Xu is generous, so I won't wash you with boiling water, we just simply brush One brush and forget it."

Chapter 48 Big Net

Even though he was tied tightly, Zhou Yanru still struggled desperately in pain.

Xu Xianchun saw the pleading look in Zhou Yanru's eyes, but ignored it, just took another small bag of green salt from the table, and poured it directly into Zhou Yanru's skinless left hand.

Seeing the blue veins on Zhou Yanru's painful head bulging, his arms stretched stiffly, his left and right hands without skin and his intact right hand turned into chicken feet due to force, Xu Xianchun showed an extremely ferocious smile, Zhou Yanru said: "Mr. Zhou Ge, does it hurt?"

Then he picked up some water and poured it on Zhou Yanru's left hand, but it washed away some of the salt on it.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru's expression was slightly relaxed, but he kept panting heavily, Xu Xianchun asked again: "Mr. Zhou Ge, this is just the beginning. There are still many moves waiting for you to enjoy."

When Zhou Yanru heard this, he began to struggle non-stop, wanting to get out of this ghostly place.After struggling to no avail, all the viciousness and resentment disappeared in Xu Xianchun's eyes, and all that was left was pleading, like a little beast before death, whining continuously.

Seeing this, Xu Xianchun asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou Ge is willing to recruit?"

When Zhou Yanru heard this, Mad Dog nodded, indicating that he was willing to cooperate.

Only then did Xu Xianchun pull out the handkerchief stuffed in Zhou Yanru's mouth, and said with a smile: "Isn't it enough to cooperate so early? You said you have to pretend to be a tough guy? Did you suffer?"

Zhou Yanru ignored Xu Xianchun's sarcasm, just breathed in the filthy air in the imperial prison, and after a while, he said to Xu Xianchun: "You ask. I know everything, I just want to give this old man a good time."

Xu Xianchun sat back at the table, took away the pen and ink, and asked, "Who is in charge when Chen Renzhong poisoned the emperor today? And how did you bring the poison into the palace?"

Zhou Yanru was also a bachelor, and he confessed happily: "It was the old man who signaled. The poison was brought into the palace, thanks to Luo Yangxing, the left governor of Jin Yiwei."

When Xu Xianchun and the others heard this, they cursed secretly in their hearts!This shit is getting more and more involved!

Xu Xianchun continued to ask: "The person who secretly peeped at the palace and colluded with the inside and outside is also Mr. Luo?"

Zhou Yanru said: "That's right. When the Emperor was tossing cement in the harem, Lord Luo's confidantes reported it to him, and the old man and others also learned the news afterward."

Although startled, Xu Xianchun continued to ask: "Then what happened to the supervisors of the Imperial College?"

Zhou Yanru said: "I only know that the supervisor's surname is Wang, and the others are arranged by the servant of the Ministry of War, Hou Xunhou, and I don't know about it."

When Xu Xianchun heard the words, the pen in his hand didn't stop, he just recorded every word and every sentence that Zhou Yanru said word by word.Then, the most critical question popped up: "Who instigated the poisoning of Emperor Tianqi of Daxing?"

Zhou Yanru gasped for a while before saying: "This old man only knows a little about it. For the details, you should ask Mr. Huo Weihua."

Xu Xianchun said: "Huo Weihua, of course we will interrogate. If there is any discrepancy between your confessions, both of you will be punished more severely than just now. Mr. Zhou Ge, tell us everything you know."

Zhou Yanru smiled miserably, and said, "That's all, that's all.

The executor of Emperor Daxing's poisoning was Master Huo Weihuahuo.

Emperor Daxing favored the Eunuch Party and suppressed Donglin Party members a lot, that's all.

It's just that he shouldn't, he actually wants to collect business taxes.Those wealthy merchants in the South and Xuanda originally focused on profit, but the Emperor Daxing Tianqi wanted to pay the merchant tax to them, so it is not surprising that they lost their lives. "

Xu Xianchun was curious and asked, "Even if these businessmen are rich, how can they communicate with each other?"

Zhou Yanru, however, burst out laughing, until he was almost out of breath, and then said: "Is it okay to have money? Money can make ghosts grind, Mr. Xu.

Those wealthy merchants first recruited Mr. Zhou, Mr. Hou, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Chen Renzhong, the imperial physician of the imperial hospital, and then dragged Luo Yangxing, the governor of Jinyiwei, into the water.

As for the eunuchs in the palace, a group of eggless bastards who have milk and mothers, under the threat of temptation, they had to cooperate with the secret tricks and let the emperor fall into trouble.

You, Mr. Xu, must be aware of what happened next. "

Without waiting for Xu Xianchun to speak, Zhou Yanru continued on his own: "After Emperor Daxing fell into the water, Huo Weihua offered the spirit dew as an eunuch. The emperor died soon after.

Afterwards, it was not only because of Emperor Daxing's will, but also because the current emperor favored us Donglin party members when he was in the hidden residence, and he had the potential of a generation of Mingjun, because the whole court supported the current emperor to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. "

As he was talking, Zhou Yanru cried aloud, and said in a hateful voice: "It's so hard to hide the truth from Chongzhen children! As soon as he came to the throne, he favored the eunuchs and alienated the honest and gentlemen of our generation. What are you playing with who will never be rewarded?" The decree of the foolish people, and the prestige of the Great Victory and the establishment of slavery, in an attempt to collect business taxes and compete with the people for profit, is this what the wise king did? I can only hate that we were blind back then, and did not know the true face of the foolish king!"

Hearing Zhou Yanru's slurred words, before Xu Xianchun could move, Cao Huachun walked over first, picked up the whip from the torture table and whipped Zhou Yanru across his head and face, cursing angrily: "How dare you slander the emperor! Our family beat you to death!" You are an idiot who has no father!"

Seeing Zhou Yanru being whipped and screaming again and again, Tian Ergeng stepped forward to hold Cao Huachun back and said, "Cao Eunuch calm down for now."

Xu Xianchun went on to say, "Your Excellency Zhou, save your energy and say less of what you shouldn't. Otherwise, we won't be able to control Duke Cao."

Then, he asked again: "As you said, those wealthy merchants acted recklessly, but they are just mere wealthy merchants, and they can't get in touch with you, Mr. Zhou Ge and Governor Luo, right?"

Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "Mere merchants, of course not. But what if you add Qian Yiqian, Mr. Qian? Don't forget, although Mr. Qian is the leader of my Donglin, he is at home. If these wealthy merchants are gone, the Qinhuai River will be destroyed." How many times can Mr. Qian afford to go to the selling gold cave next to him?

What's more, Mr. Qian is not enough, so what about Mr. Yege?

Why does Old Man Ye Ge oppose commercial taxation, why he opposes opening the sea, you really don’t know?Or pretend not to know?

It's not that I don't know, it's just that you don't dare to poke the hornet's nest in Jiangnan, right?Now that there are slaves outside, and the guards are corrupt, if the land in the south of the Yangtze River is turned against again, will this Great Ming still be Great Ming? "
