Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

After receiving Ning Fan's golden promise, this man who originally came from Jinyiwei finally revealed all his secrets.

Seeing that Zhao Laosi confessed a man named Dong Chengtian, Ning Fan was also sure that Zhao Laosi didn't know too much. He was just regarded as a spearman by Dong Chengtian behind him. Zhao Laosi only paid a few dozen taels of silver to let Zhao Laosi. The fourth child lost his job as a royal guard and almost had his entire family beheaded. It seemed that Dong Chenggen was the most vicious person behind the scenes.

"Old Si Zhao, Old Si Zhao, is your head full of water? Just a few dozen taels of silver bought the lives of your whole family. The person behind it really hurt you!"

Ning Fan had a look on his face that showed he hated iron.

When Zhao Laosi heard what Ning Fan said, he lowered his head in shame. In fact, Jin Yiwei's salary was not that much, even much more than that of a seventh-rank official.

Ning Fan has regarded Jin Yiwei as the most elite force under his command since the beginning of Jin Yiwei's establishment. Therefore, Jin Yiwei's treatment is naturally not bad. However, everyone absorbed by Jin Yiwei is an elite-level figure. Basically, they are all elites. A person who is shrewd and strong in martial arts.

"Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong. Can you spare my life? I will tell you everything I know. I will do whatever Your Majesty wants me to do."

At this time, Zhao Laosi finally knew whether he should regret it in the first place, but now he actually understood in his heart that even if he regretted it now, it was too late. He had done so many wrong things in the past, and with Ning Fan, he had no way of turning back.

The best outcome now is that the whole family is saved from death. As for other things, he can't even think about it.

"What does Dong Chengtian do?"

Ning Fan looked at Zhao Laosi with a pleasant look.

"Your Majesty, I know that Dong Chengtian is very powerful in the capital. He founded a gang in Tingyulou. In addition, Dong Chengtian also runs a number of gambling houses. He has countless assets under his name and is quite prestigious in the capital. character."

Before Zhao Laosi could say anything, Lei Zhen on the side began to introduce Dong Chengtian to Ning Fan.

According to Lei Zhen, Dong Chengtian is a man with hands and eyes that can reach the sky. He colludes with officials and hangs out with the green-skinned gangsters in the market. He is a man who understands both black and white.

"I basically understand what you said. Don't send people to arrest this Dong Chengtian first. First, investigate who Dong Chengtian has frequent contacts with."

Ning Fan thought for a while and then ordered to Lei Zhen.

As the emperor, Ning Fan wanted to investigate someone. It didn't take long for Lei Zhen to put all Dong Chengtian's information in front of Ning Fan. After Ning Fan looked at it, he finally pointed towards Lei Zhen. He nodded to indicate that it was time to arrest people.

Ning Fan originally thought that Dong Chengtian must be a hero-oriented man, but he turned out to be a handsome young man who was in his early thirties and full of high spirits. However, after being captured by the Jin Yiwei, his whole person seemed to have withered. He said nothing and kept his eyes closed all day long.

"If it doesn't work, use torture. Remember not to beat the person to death. Just let him speak. After letting him speak, you must make sure that what he tells is the truth."

Ning Fan didn't have too many thoughts about a person who was against the imperial court. Such a person would naturally die, but he still needed to get some useful information out of him before he died.

But Ning Fan never expected that this Dong Chengtian turned out to be a tough guy. Lei Zhen led a group of Jinyi guards who were good at torture. They spent the whole night cleaning up, but they didn't ask a single word from Dong Chengtian's mouth. This man didn't speak no matter what. He spoke as if he hoped to be beaten to death and freed soon.

"It seems that the person behind him is very important to him. Once he reveals that person, all his efforts in life will be in vain."

"The only reason why Dong Chengtian was able to hold on to it without saying anything was that once he said that the gain was not worth the loss, he would probably suffer huge losses, so he would hold on to it."

Ning Fan looked at the beaten and bruised Dong Chengtian with no expression on his face. He just pulled Lei Zhen aside, and the two began to discuss what to do next.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Dong Chengtian can't speak anymore. All the bones in his body have been broken. This pain is not something that ordinary people can bear. Ordinary people would have done it a long time ago. This Dong Chengtian is really a tough guy."

Lei Zhen sighed, with some admiration for Dong Chengtian in his eyes.

Ning Fan glanced at Dong Chengtian without saying anything. After thinking about it, he said to Dong Chengtian: "You can withstand severe torture, but as for the people around you, I don't believe that there is no one in this world that you care about. ”

Sure enough, after hearing what Ning Fan said, Dong Chengtian finally opened his eyes. Even if his beaten bloody and swollen eyes opened, there was only a gap.

But Ning Fan could feel that Dong Chengtian's soul was trembling at this moment. Ning Fan's words just hit Dong Chengtian's weakness, and what he feared most finally came to pass.

"Have you ever thought that you are here to carry on and get beaten for others, but the person who harmed you behind the scenes is hiding behind you and sneering at you? Is it really worth it?"

Ning Fan continued to use his mind-attacking tactics, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Dong Chengtian's heart.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Dong Chengtian to finally speak, and said to Ning Fan in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, if I tell you, can you let my son go?"

Ning Fan did not agree immediately, but stared at Dong Chengtian: "Your son's life or death depends on your current efforts and cooperation, but you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now."

As expected, these words made Dong Chengtian's face less calm than before. Before, he just looked like he would die generously, but now Dong Chengtian finally panicked.

"Your Majesty, I actually don't understand. Our Dakang system of promoting filial piety and integrity is very good. Why do you want to create an imperial examination system? Don't you know that this will allow those who work at the bottom of the infrastructure to gradually integrate into our country? The upper level! Is this really good?”

Dong Chengtian asked Ning Fan.

No one expected that Dong Chengtian would say such words, even Ning Fan was stunned.

"You are a little gangster hanging out on the streets. What qualifications do you have to say these things? Do these things have anything to do with you? Who told you that those poor people are lowly people? Let me tell you, there is no difference between people. Equally, the reason why people are divided into three, six or nine levels is actually created by the environment."

Ning Fan looked at Dong Chengtian with a helpless and mocking tone. He found that Dong Chengtian seemed to have an extreme desire and admiration for power.
