How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

No wonder the three of them screamed in surprise, and Feng Kanyu almost fell off his horse.

The red lady actually said, does anyone know the whereabouts of Li Xin?

This……

How can it be!

Wasn't my father buried in Delingxuan Palace by the [First Generation] back then and sealed in a coffin with Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi?

Is it possible that he is still alive?

Shen Lian and Pei Lun looked at each other, knowing that the matter was serious, and hurriedly got off their horses.

"Miss Hong, please tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"

Feng Kanyu jumped off his horse excitedly and grabbed the red lady's hand.

"Aunt Hong, my father...isn't dead? Is he really not dead? What's going on here?"

The red lady was startled by Feng Kanyu's excited look, and she shyly broke away from him.

"Xiao Yu, Aunt Hong is not sure either."

"It was just when you broke into the palace and searched for Zhu Youjian's whereabouts."

"My husband and I were ordered by Mr. Liu to arrest hundreds of civil and military officials in the capital and were preparing to recover the stolen goods. We happened to catch one person and said he knew the whereabouts of your father."

Shen Lian and Pei Lun said oh at the same time, their eyes becoming more and more urgent.

The so-called pursuit of stolen goods was a strategy formulated by Li Yan and military advisor Niu Jinxing long before the army entered the city.

Although Emperor Chongzhen couldn't come up with the so-called one million taels of silver, hundreds of officials could.

There is no money in such a big city of Kyoto, and everyone is beaten to death in disbelief.

Especially when people were attacking cities and plundering land in various places, they knew how much money they had seized from the homes of corrupt officials.

Therefore, after the invading army entered the capital, the first thing they did was to find Zhu Youjian, and the second thing was to arrest hundreds of officials and nobles to recover the stolen goods.

Even the second thing is more important than the first thing.

After all, what is the purpose of everyone's hard work to break into the capital?

Isn't it just a desire for monstrous wealth and endless enjoyment of women.

King Chuang then put Liu Zongmin, his confidant, in charge, and severely squeezed the money from the families of these dog officials.

"Then...who is that person and what did he say?"

Feng Kanyu has asked about the exit again.

The red lady looked at Liu Zongmin and her husband Li Yan, who were about to disappear, and lowered her voice for fear of being overheard by them.

"It was said by Wen Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, that as long as he was spared from death, he would reveal the whereabouts of Li Xin, the Taibao of Guanshan."

"It's a pity that Mr. Liu doesn't care. He has ordered his general Hao Yaoqi to torture him severely. If he is tortured and finds out where the money is hidden in his home, he will be executed on the spot!"

"You three should go as soon as possible. If you are late, it will be too late..."

After saying that, the red lady was obviously afraid of causing more trouble, so she bypassed the three people and hurried towards Long Live Mountain.

But Shen Lian, Pei Lun, and Feng Kanyu were completely shocked.

Wenqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?

Wenqi?

Maybe Pei Lun didn't care who this person was.

However, Shen Lian and Feng Kanyu hated this man deeply and gnashed their teeth.

During the seventeen years of Chongzhen's reign, several people replayed the tragic events of that day in Huangling Town, Tianshou Mountain countless times.

Ultimately it was agreed that there were many reasons for the failure.

There was insufficient preparation beforehand and there were huge gaps in intelligence.

There was even the sudden disappearance of the leading figure Li Xin.

But if Wen Qi hadn't rebelled during the battle, everyone in Huangling Town would still have a chance to escape.

It was also his rebellion that caused all the backbones of Huangling Town to be wiped out. The uprising failed completely, and thousands of heads fell.

Later, I heard that it was this person who suggested to Zhu Youjian that flooding the air-raid shelters with the intention of drowning 100,000 people in Huangling Town was an even more heinous crime.

To be honest, after Shen Lian and Feng Kanyu entered the city, they wanted to find Wenqi and kill him quickly!

But who would have thought...

Okay, what a nonsense.

One step too late and Wen Qi would be dead.

The three of them didn't have time to think too much. They hurriedly inquired about it and ran all the way to the Wen Mansion of the Minister of Industry.

……

"Hahahaha!"

In the Wenfu of the Ministry of Industry, the left army general Hao Yaoqi, who was breaking into the army, was laughing proudly.

He sat on the Grand Master's chair in the living room of Shangshu Mansion and looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground in front of him, bleeding all over his body.

"Wen Shangshu! Why don't you explain it earlier!"

"You insist on confronting our army, and you even dare to send servants to shoot arrows at us to fight back?"

"That's so cowardly!"

Hao Yaoqi shook his head and patted the table beside him hard, making a loud banging sound.

His real name was Hao Yongzhong, and he was an old subordinate of the old king Gao Yingxiang. However, after Gao Yingxiang was arrested and beheaded, he had no choice but to join the new king Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng did not pay much attention to him, but Hao Yongzhong fought bravely and often charged into battle carrying a banner of the rebel army, so he was called Hao Yaoqi.

Later, he secretly took refuge with General Liu Zongmin, and gradually gained important positions. At this time, he was one of the people close to the top of the army, on par with Shen Lian, Feng Kanyu and others.

And the person kneeling in front of him, beaten into a bloody mass, was the former traitor of Huangling Town and now the Minister of Industry, Wenqi.

Wen Qi is going crazy.

I just saw you intruders trying to break into my house, so I asked my servants to shoot a few arrows and locked the door, but you treated me like crazy.

Not only did they rush into my house, but they also turned my house upside down.

Finally, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were found in the cellar in the back garden of the home.

That's all.

Who would have thought that you are not human beings!

He actually let the intruders take turns insulting my wife, Wang, until she died.

I resisted a little and was immediately beaten severely.

Fuck!

Who said that the city gates should be opened to welcome King Chuang, but that King Chuang would not accept food when he came?

Why was my house ransacked?

Wen Qi didn't know.

At this moment, all the mansions of civil and military officials in the capital are experiencing the same ordeal.

They were unwilling to spend money to save the Ming Dynasty, so they had to be eaten alive by King Chuang after he entered the city. In the end, not even the dregs were left.

Wen Qi was afraid and wanted to tell the biggest secret in her heart.

But who knew that the other party didn't care at all and didn't care about the life or death of Li Xin and Feng Lixin.

At this moment, Wen Qi was beaten to the point of dying, and she just wanted to die quickly so that she could escape the other party's shameless humiliation.

Who knows!

"Report...Master Hao! We found another cellar, and found this old man's daughter who had not left the palace..."

boom!

a bolt from the blue!

Unexpectedly, an intruder dug out the secret pavilion of Shangshu Mansion and found Wen Qi's daughter hidden inside.

Wen Qi immediately burst into tears and threw herself on the ground regardless of the pain all over her body.

"Master Jun! Master Jun, please let my daughter go. She hasn't left the cabinet yet and doesn't understand anything. If you don't serve you well, it will be in vain to make Master Jun angry..."

Hao Yaoqi was dissatisfied with the fact that Mrs. Shangshu was old and couldn't say anything. When he heard that his daughter was revealed, his eyes lit up.

"Hey! Old man, you have hidden a treasure!"

Hao Yaoqi stood up immediately, pulled off his armor in three swipes, and took off everything completely, revealing his chest of black hair and thick thighs, and walked to the back hall without hesitation.

"Master Jun! Master Jun..."

Wen Qi went crazy when she saw this. Regardless of the threats from the intruders around her, she struggled to crawl towards Hao Yaoqi, trying to stop him.

Hao Yaoqi was upset when he heard this and waved his hand casually.

"Damn it, what's the barking of a dog! Kill him, kill him, don't spoil my mood!"

"Yes!"

When Chuang Jun next to Wen Qi heard this, he chuckled, raised the steel knife in his hand, and brought it down towards Wen Qi's head.

Wen Qi was horrified and shouted for mercy, but unfortunately the other party turned a deaf ear.

Unexpectedly, just when the steel knife was about to fall on his neck.

"stop!"

Da da da!

Three fast horses rushed directly into Shangshu's mansion.

Immediately afterwards...

Whoosh.

Chuang Jun, who was about to be beheaded, only felt a light touch in his hand.

But for some reason the steel knife came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

And the thing that hit the flying steel knife was actually a knife.

The knife came through the air, hit the flying steel knife, and its strength did not decrease, and it went straight to Hao Yaoqi's back.

Chuang Jun was so shocked that his scalp was about to explode, and he opened his mouth to scream.

But before the sound came out, the knife flew behind Hao Yaoqi.

Hao Yaoqi may have had a blessed soul, or he may have experienced life and death in many years of fighting on the battlefield.

After hearing the sound of the sky breaking, he actually turned his head at the last moment and grabbed the head of the knife.

The sharp blade almost cut off his right hand. Even so, it cut off a large piece of black hair on his chest and stabbed three points into his chest.

Hao Yaoqi looked at the blood coming out of his chest and broke into a cold sweat all over his body.

But I saw that the knife in my hand was very familiar, it was actually a...

Embroidered spring knife!

He raised his head angrily, glared at the visitor and shouted harshly.

"Shen Lian! Do you want to kill me?"
