Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Li Yan, what do you have to say? "Li Zicheng suddenly turned around, glared at Li Yan and shouted sternly.

What's going on?

Li Yan was always quick-witted, but he was confused by Li Zicheng's sudden shout, "What's going on?"

Niu Jinxing snarled, and the guards surrounding him swarmed forward, knocked down Li Yan, who was still in a daze, and tied him tightly with thick ropes.

The sudden change made Liu Zongmin and other heroes dumbfounded. What on earth is going on?

"King Chuang, why is this happening?" Li Yan struggled desperately and screamed. He still hasn't figured out what happened?

"The old thief Sun Chuanting secretly wanted to harm us. Fortunately, Wang Yingming saw through your scheme, hehe." Niu Jinxing said in a dark voice.

At this point, Li Yan was dead.

"These are evidence." Li Zicheng took out several secret letters written by Sun Chuanting to Li Yan and gave them to Liu Zongmin and others to read.

Although he is the leader who sticks to his word and no one dares to question him. Liu Zongmin and other powerful generals are convinced by him and obey his words, but he still has to convince his subordinates in his actions. After all, Li Yan is quite popular in the army. This was also the reason why he did not let military advisers Gu Junen and Song Xiance accompany him.

"Oh, I didn't expect the person named Li to be this kind of person..." Liu Zongmin scratched his head and shouted.

He was a blacksmith from a poor peasant family and could not even provide enough food and clothing, let alone read and write. He could not understand a single word of Sun Chuanting's secret letter, and he was just pretending to read the letter.

He is a die-hard loyal to the leader, Li Zicheng, and obeys Li Zicheng's advice. Li Zicheng said that Li Yan is a traitor, so Li Yan is a traitor.

The situation of the others was similar to Liu Zongmin's, they just felt a little surprised and regretful. After all, Li Yan was so good at pretending that he almost deceived everyone.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. The government and army desperately sent spies to infiltrate the rebel army to gather information, and the rebel army would pull out these people every once in a while and behead them to sacrifice the flag. There were too many such cases, and they were used to it. .

"Take him down for interrogation." Li Zicheng glanced at Niu Jinxing and said with a dark face.

"Yes." Niu Jinxing responded, but his heart tightened. King Chuang seemed to be hesitant, but this was not a problem for him.

In short, Li Yan is dead.

"King Chuang, Thief Li recruited him, but he couldn't survive the torture..."

Not long after, Niu Jinxing came back and presented a confession, which was signed and stamped by Li Yan. The evidence was irrefutable. Even if Gu Junen and Song Xiance were present, they could not save Li Yan. Moreover, Li Yan could not survive the torture and had already died. .

He had a unique skill that could imitate other people's handwriting, making it difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between true and false. To cut off King Chuang's last thoughts, he directly killed Li Yan, signed on his behalf, and put his fingerprints on it.

"This matter must be kept secret until the Red Lady returns." Li Zicheng glared at Niu Jinxing and said helplessly.

Everyone was killed by Niu Jinxing. Even if Li Yan was not a traitor, he could only be labeled a traitor at this time.

As for the Red Lady, she not only has outstanding military skills, but also has considerable influence in the rebel army. After she comes back, she will take away her military power and put her under house arrest in the back camp first.

Well, the red lady has a beautiful appearance and a hot figure. It would be a pity to kill her, but she can be slept with and used as a concubine.

The execution of Li Yan was thus concealed. Gu Junen and Song Xiance only knew that he was ordered by King Chuang to lead an army to meet the retreating Hong Niangzi tribe.

Zhuxian Town.

The temporary prison converted from a civilian house was filled with rebel prisoners of war, all of whom were Li Zhun's subordinates. They were all wounded and captured. Those who were seriously injured were all beheaded by the officers and soldiers for credit, while those who were slightly injured were treated.

Zheng Sanxi, who had an arrow in his left arm and had been bandaged with medicine by his doctor, and several brothers sat dejectedly under the brick wall, listening to the voices coming from outside with their ears pricked up.
