King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The voice just fell.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously looked back at Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground and confessing.

Of course, those who knew what was going on felt fine, while those who didn't know what was going on looked confused.

But everyone is not a fool. Seeing Duan Li's behavior, everyone's mind is like a mirror. They know that the content of the letter is definitely not a good thing.

After a brief moment of silence, Duan Li slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"Go back to your lord."

"The people notified by this letter are the Li family and the Yuan family."

"Because when we cooperated before, we had an agreement that if what we did came to light, we would inform each other in this way."

"For those who have received the news, I will do my best to help as much as I can."

"Can't help."

"Put yourself first and cut off the relationships and connections between each other as quickly as possible."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu exclaimed softly, glanced at Duan Li with interest, sneered "haha" and said:
"But!"

"Master Duan is a wonderful person."

"It's not just about keeping one's word. It really does what it says, considers its partners and keeps its promises."

Having said this, he paused, suddenly changed the subject, and continued with a hint of sarcasm on his face:
"I don't know, Mr. Duan learned about the roles played by the Li family and the Yuan family in Linchuan City and even in the death of your family."

"You also tipped off people from both families. Do you regret this move?"

Listening to the sarcastic words.

Thinking about what he had done and the identities of the Li family and the Yuan family.

It can be said that it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

How is it possible to say that you don’t regret it?

But it seems that given the current situation, it's already too late to regret it.

All the information that needs to be revealed has been revealed.

What’s the point of regretting! !

After a brief silence, Duan Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind. As if he thought of something, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and his drooped head was raised in a daze. His expression suddenly changed extremely. Excited, his breathing became faster unknowingly, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Your Majesty."

"Hurry up"

"Hurry up and have people surround the Li family and Yuan family mansions."

"Order to control everyone in the two families as quickly as possible."

"Otherwise. Otherwise, once the two families receive the information, they will run away as soon as possible and will never spend any more time in Linchuan City."

"While the time for the two families to receive the news is still short, there is still a chance to catch them."

"If it's too late, these bastards will really run away and they won't be able to catch them."

Sudden words.

Everyone in the hall was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Duan Li, who looked eager, like an ant on a hot pot, with some sideways glances and surprise.

What the hell?
Are Li and Yuan families going to run away?
It was Duan Li who tipped off the news in advance.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan suddenly came back to their senses for a moment. They looked hatefully at Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground with an eager reminder on his face, and then subconsciously followed suit.

After all, they had hated the Li and Yuan families for a long time. Now that they knew that the bastards from those families were probably related to the accidental death of their fathers, they naturally did not want these two people to The bastard who helped the tyrants escape.

but
Compared to the urgent pleadings of Zhang Ziming, Wang Yan and Duan Li.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on the high platform, looked as indifferent as usual, sneered "haha", glanced at the three people in front of him, and said:
"Run away?"

"It's not that easy to run away."

"When I entered Linchuan City, all the soldiers who defended the city were already under my control."

"At this moment, Linchuan Fucheng has already been under martial law. You are only allowed to enter but not leave."

"run?"

"Unless the Li and Yuan families all have wings and can fly from the sky, they will never be able to escape from the palm of my hand."

"If you dare to run or leave the city at this time, you are undoubtedly throwing yourself into a trap."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have thought of something, pointed at the letter copied in Duan Li's hand, and continued:

"Since I have the ability to intercept the letter you sent and adopt Jiang Taigong's method of fishing, do you really think that I am not prepared to have a backup plan?"

"In other words, do you think that the people under my command are unable to track the flight path of the messenger bird and confirm who the message is delivered to?"

"rest assured.
"When the bait is released, I will give a death order to Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, once the messenger bird falls."

"No matter whose family it falls into, Jinyiwei can do it easily without any scruples. They can control all the families where the messenger bird falls and take them to the government office for trial."

"Under such circumstances and arrangements, do you really think that the Li family and the Yuan family can escape?"

"Hehehe"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at several people very steadily.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath.

In the eyes of the two of them, such an arrangement and layout was so seamless that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to run away and escape from such a dragnet.

Compared to Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

After listening to Zhu Gaoxu's arrangements for Duan Li, he didn't feel the slightest bit relieved.

His nervousness and eagerness did not improve at all.

On the contrary, the emotions of eagerness, tension, and anxiety became more and more intense.

"No, no, no, it's not like that."

"My lord."

"Really. The guilty minister dare not deceive the prince."

"The guilty minister knows that the prince's arrangements are perfect. It's not that he doesn't believe in the prince's arrangements. The main reason is the twists and turns. There is something that you really don't know about, prince."

"Just in case, I beg you, Your Majesty, to send someone to control the Li and Yuan families as quickly as possible."

"This matter is really serious and there is no room for slacking off."

"It's not like a humble minister is overly worried!!"

"It's true. It's true, it's Li, Yuan and me."

"Our three families all chose to settle in the place closest to the city wall in our own residences. Even if the location is remote or noisy, this behavior is extremely particular and meaningful."

"The purpose is to make it easier to escape from Linchuan Fucheng as quickly as possible if something happens."

"And our escape route just avoids ordinary people's inertial thinking."

"Because it's not a normal escape route."

"Instead, we walked. We spent a lot of money to build a hidden secret passage to the outside of the city. There is no need to go through the city gates and the like. There is a direct road to the outside of the city from the homes of the three of us."

"It is precisely because of this that the three of us chose the place closest to the city wall to settle down."

"It's too late. Or half a minute too late. Once these bastards are given the opportunity to retreat into the secret passage, it will be almost impossible to catch them again."

"Because when the secret passage was first established, in order to be 100% sure, we placed explosives in the secret passage that could collapse the secret passage and even the pillars of the hard-top city wall above the secret passage."

"Although the three of us conspired to build a secret passage, the exact location of each family's secret passage was unknown to each other. The craftsmen responsible for building the secret passage were all secretly executed after the secret passage was completed."

"Once they withdraw and ignite the explosives, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Even if we can catch them, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources." "So."

"My lord, you must be quick!!"

"In this matter, the guilty minister is by no means an alarmist."

This statement came out.

Like a thunder, it exploded in the entire hall.

The eyes of everyone in the field were unanimously focused on Duan Li, who was lying on the ground and kept making requests. His expression was full of disbelief, and his mouth subconsciously opened.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on the high platform and originally looked calm and calm, could no longer remain calm after listening to Duan Li's words. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he looked straight at the kneeling man. Duan Li, who was on the ground, suddenly lost his indifferent expression and was replaced by a solemn look on his face. He shouted in vain:

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"All three of your families have special secret passages in their homes?"

"And this secret passage was specially built to lead outside the city wall?"

When Duan Li heard this, he couldn't stop nodding his head and responded quickly:

"Yes, it is."

The voice just fell.

After receiving the exact answer, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned his head, looked at Liu Feng aside, and shouted:

"Liu Feng."

"Send someone quickly to inform the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards, Ji Gang."

"Tell him everything Duan Li said just now, every detail."

"At the same time, let me tell you that if you haven't waited for the bird to return to its nest, you don't have to wait any longer. You can directly attack the Li and Yuan families."

"Control them all, and be sure not to let anyone go."

"Then Jigang personally escorted me to the government office, and I personally interrogated him."

Liu Feng received the order.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation here, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He slightly arched his hands towards Zhu Gaoxu and replied:

"promise!"

"I'll do it now."

Say it.

He didn't even stay for a moment, and walked out in a hurry.

Wait until Liu Feng's figure disappears.

Zhu Gaoxu also withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Duan Li who was kneeling on the ground. He sneered "haha" and said:
"Okay!"

"Good, really good."

"You guys are really brave."

"You actually dare to enter the city and quietly lead to the tunnel outside the city."

"Not only that, but all the craftsmen who dug the secret tunnel for you were secretly executed."

"It is simply a naked disregard for human life, a disregard for human life, and regard the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty as nothing."

"He is really a 'good official' of the imperial court!"

"It really opened my eyes."

Facing the question, he felt the anger in his eyes that echoed throughout the hall.

Duan Li, who was lying on the ground, no longer had the fear and timidity of the past. Everything was so calm and calm.

It's not that Duan Li is very brave, or that he's not afraid at all.

The main reason is that he knows what the outcome will be if all the things he has done are exposed. He also knows better than anyone else that there is no doubt that the word 'death' is on both sides.

Now that you already know your own ending, it is a destined ending that cannot be changed no matter what.

Under such circumstances, he naturally became much calmer.

There is no more panic and fear just now.

Faced with the angry rebuke, Duan Li did not give any explanation and only replied:
"I will be punished by death."

See Duan Li who is calm and fearless.

Zhu Gaoxu was startled by this, but after a moment he understood why it was like this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Duan Li's official position was not high, his mind was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he looked at problems much more clearly than ordinary people.

Compared with some important ministers in the dynasty, Rao is even worse.

After pondering briefly for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and glanced coldly at Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground and looked at him without fear, and said in a deep voice:

"Duan Li."

"Is there anything you haven't said yet?"

"Don't be like milk, which will leak out after a while."

"If there are any other hidden things, please tell me honestly one by one."

"Although I dare not say that I will protect your life, I can promise that I will take care of the mastermind behind the harm to your family.

Duan Li was startled when his name was called, looked back at Zhu Gaoxu, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Go back to your lord."

"A few more trivial things."

"One is that all the officials in Linchuan City rebelled and gathered under the sect of the guilty minister. Everything was led by the Li and Yuan families."

"The second thing is that the people in charge of the Li and Yuan families once mentioned it to the guilty minister when they were drunk. There were important people above them."

"And the two of them seem to have some handle on the so-called big shot."

"However, this clue seems to have been obtained from certain channels only in recent years."

"As for why they were not silenced, it seems that there was something going on in the middle that made the big shots a little wary and did not dare to act rashly."

"And that's all the guilty minister knows. All that needs to be said has been said."

“Nothing to say”

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to learn from this."

Say it.

Duan Li hunched over deeply and looked away from Zhu Gaoxu.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, a trace of curiosity flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
"handle?"

"Evidence of guilt?"

"It seems like there's something interesting here, and their personal alliance isn't that solid either!!"

"It's good. The thing is, the more interesting it is, the better."

Da da da.
Just then.

In the originally silent government office, a crisp and urgent sound of footsteps suddenly sounded at dusk, echoing in the empty corridor, which seemed particularly harsh and abrupt.

As a result, everyone's eyes couldn't help but subconsciously focus on the location where the sound was coming from.

Not long after.

As the footsteps approached, the figure slowly emerged.

The person who hurried in from outside was none other than Liu Feng, who had just been ordered to leave. (End of chapter)
