At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 147 Atonement
Wang Qinghai hesitated for a while, only to feel a tightness in his neck, and the blade had been embedded in the flesh.

"Don't, don't...I said...I said!"

When his life was at stake, he dared not hide it, and hurriedly shouted: "It's for the cabinet scholar Gao...Master Gao!"

The other party slowly put down the knife and asked, "How much did you give?"

"The small one... the small one has a bill, it's in the pocket of the clothes!"

Wang Qinghai carefully took out the bill and handed it over.

After the other party took it, he glanced at it and asked again: "How long have you been doing this kind of thing? Do you often come to the capital?"

"About... six or seven years..."

Wang Qinghai thought about it for a while, and said: "The little one comes to the capital at least twice a year, except for the ice and charcoal respect in summer and winter, and sometimes... there are some constant respects..."

"last question!"

The other party raised the knife again, and said slowly: "What is the relationship between your Mr. Mei and the three-headed dragon?"

"what……"

The muscles on Wang Qinghai's face visibly twitched.

The three-headed Jiao Shen Lang is a famous pirate at sea. There is indeed a relationship between Mr. Mei and Shen Lang. However, this kind of matter is extremely secret, and I just heard some rumors. How did these people know?

Forbidden City, Imperial Study.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the information in his hand, his face became more and more gloomy.

He slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "These things are eaten inside and out!"

Yuan Bin said, "Your Majesty, are you arresting someone?"

"Don't move yet!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there any news from Zhu Ji?"

"Returning to the emperor, according to Zhu Ji's investigation, a total of 37 officials, headed by Mei Linrong, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, have engaged in smuggling activities. Moreover, these people have more or less private contacts with Japanese pirates."

"What happened to Mei Linrong's domestic slave?"

"Temporarily detained in Zhao Prison."

"This person can't be locked up, you have to put him back, otherwise, you will startle the snake!"

"Put it back... I'm worried, he will inform..."

"Tell him that this is the crime of punishing the nine clans. If you want to survive, the only chance is to take the crime and make meritorious service!"

"Yes, sir, let's do it now!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and continued: "The capital is watching carefully. On the day when the face is torn apart, the evidence must be as solid as a mountain. I don't want to see them have another chance to stand up!"

"Your Majesty..." At this time, Jin Ying was heard cautiously asking outside the door, "Jingan County King please see me!"

"Xuan!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fu pushed open the door and entered, kowtowed and saluted.

"Minister Zhang Fu kowtowed to the emperor!"

"The Qing family is free!"

Zhu Qizhen gave Yuan Bin a wink, Yuan Bin understood, and briefly explained the current situation to Zhang Fu.

After Zhang Fu heard this, his beard exploded with anger.

"Your Majesty, this kind of unfaithful and unrighteous person, why don't you catch him and chop him up, so as to strengthen the court, what are you waiting for?"

"I came to you to discuss this matter!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, just sit down and talk!"

Zhang Fu angrily pulled a chair and sat down, then stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, let this matter be left to the veteran!"

"I let you sit down!"

Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "Catch it and chop it up, who can't, I need you to teach me?"

Zhang Fu didn't know why, so he had to sit down obediently.

"If I could catch them, I would have done it a long time ago. The problem now is how to use these people to lure out the pirates, and then wipe them all out!"

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses.

"It's the old minister who is being abrupt, please tell the emperor, what should I do when I come down?"

"I've already made up my mind, and I'll make an order tomorrow, ordering you to go to the feudal clan!"

Zhang Fu scratched his head, puzzled and said, "But, these people..."

Zhu Qizhen said straight to the point: "You go to Nanjing first, and then I will send Wei Guogong to lead Nanjing soldiers and horses to escort you to Yunnan. It will take at least a month for these troops to go back and forth. Hold on, if I lure you a little more, they will all come out."

Zhang Fu suddenly realized, and said: "The old minister understands, the emperor wants to kill the weeds!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The problem now is that those people will definitely obstruct it, so we need to think of a perfect plan!"

Zhang Fu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old minister will try his best to overcome all opinions and ensure that the Emperor's plan can be implemented!"

…………

Beizhen Fusi, Zhao prison.

The dark cell smelled bloody, and Wang Qinghai curled up in a corner of the cell, shivering uncontrollably.

The reason why Zhao Prison makes people change their faces is because there is only entry and exit here.

Come, don't even think about leaving.

In other words, those who come vertically can only go out horizontally.

He had already confessed everything he knew, and although he escaped a torture, he didn't know if he would see the light of day again.

When I think of my wife and children at home, I can't help but burst into tears.

Kara!
There was a knock at the cell door.

"You, come out!"

Wang Qinghai raised his head in astonishment, his heart was full of astonishment, could he be beheaded?

Even if he kills his head, he still needs to have a good meal, and then choose a time to go on the road...

In the middle of the night, as for it?
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, Commander-in-Chief wants to see you!"

When Wang Qinghai heard that it didn't seem to be beheading, he felt relieved, followed the captain out of the prison, and came to a torture room.

Under the light of the fire, many of the instruments of torture displayed around could not be named.

Just look at these things, and you can imagine in your mind, what kind of scene it will be if you go through them one by one...

"Your name is Wang Qinghai, right?"

When Wang Qinghai raised his head, he realized that there was a person standing inside. At the same time, the captain had already retreated, and the door slammed shut.

He only felt his knees go limp, and he knelt unconsciously.

"Little... little Wang Qinghai, I have seen... seen... my lord!"

Yuan Bin sized him up and said blankly, "Do you know where this is?"

"Know... know!"

"Then do you know why you were arrested?"

"Because...because the little one...gives charcoal to the adults in the capital, no, it's...give silver!"

Yuan Bin looked at him coldly and said, "Even if it's bribery, it's your master's business. You're just an errand runner. You lost your life because of it, and you may even implicate the Nine Clans. Don't you feel wronged?"

"The little one... please... please forgive me, the young one has children, only... only three years old..."

For some reason, when it comes to family members, Wang Qinghai just feels hopeless.

At this moment, he hated Mei Linrong to death.

If it weren't for this person, I wouldn't have fallen to such a point.

"Your Majesty knows all about you!"

"what?"

Wang Qinghai thought he had heard wrongly, the emperor would know about such a small person like himself?
"Do you know who the emperor hates the most?"

"It must be... corrupt... corrupt officials..."

Wang Qinghai's mind went blank, and he could no longer speak.

Yuan Bin smiled lightly and said, "Which of the officials and lords in the court don't make money? Regarding this kind of thing, as long as it is not too much, the emperor will turn a blind eye. However, Mei Linrong colluded with Japanese pirates, which is treason Sin, death is not a pity, and all members of the nine clans must be buried with him!"

Hearing this, Wang Qinghai suddenly realized that maybe...he still has a way out!
"The little one is willing to cooperate with the adults to collect evidence of Merlin Rongtong's thief, just to... be able to make amends!"
