Ming Dynasty: Domination of the World from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 169 Buddha said: If you go to hell, who will go to hell? (The third update)

Yao Guangxiao stood with his hands behind his back, staring straight at Qiu Fu.

He said indifferently: "Qiu Fu, you know someone told you your fortune in the past, saying that you would be able to rise to prominence if you followed His Highness. I also deeply agree with this, because His Highness is a man with a dragon and tiger in his heart. Sooner or later, one day, he will be able to soar into the sky and travel through the nine heavens."

"As the person His Highness trusts the most, you can also soar to the sky."

"only."

“This can’t be taken seriously.”

"Your Highness is different now than before."

"Your Highness is indeed tolerant and willing to leave you a chance to live, but if you live, it will have a negative impact on Your Highness. It's just that Your Highness is not in a position to do anything, and doesn't want to get himself involved, and doesn't want Your Highness to be known as a mean and ungrateful person. As Your Highness's counselor, I have to consider Your Highness more."

"Your Highness is a rare talent."

“You can’t be influenced by too many people.”

"If you are alive, it will have a very bad impact on the entire political ecology of Peking, and it will also make many people feel lucky."

"Since Your Highness wants to make changes, he cannot stay in the past."

"Your death was not unjust."

"Okay, Captain Qiu, I won't embarrass you, and I will let you leave a good reputation. You died because you were ashamed of failing His Highness's trust. You chose to commit suicide because you were ashamed of failing His Highness's trust. Your reputation will be preserved."

"You will also be His Highness's eternal loyal subject."

Qiu Fu stared at Yao Guangxiao in a daze, feeling like he was looking at a devil.

Yao Guangxiao went crazy.

He really wanted to kill himself.

When Yao Guangxiao said these words, an uncontrollable fear crept out from his heart. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his legs became weak, and he could not stand steadily for a long time. Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud.

He tried to keep himself calm and said, "Yao Guangxiao, stop talking nonsense here."

"I know better than any of you what I, Qiu Fu, have done. I am not strict with my family, but when have I ever betrayed Your Highness?"

"My crime is not punishable by death. I can choose not to save my father-in-law and I can give up on my son, because they have indeed committed a heinous crime, which is indeed unforgivable. But I, Qiu Fu, am wronged and innocent. Why should I die?"

"I want to see His Highness."

Yao Guangxiao snorted coldly and sneered: "You won't see it anymore."

"I advise you to look at these books."

"When you finish reading this, you shouldn't struggle anymore."

Yao Guangxiao had a smile on his face.

He was not in a hurry to send Qiu Fu on his way.

As a monk, he was able to remain patient.

Qiu Fu's face changed slightly. He looked at the pile of account books in front of him and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to read them. However, the more he read, the uglier his face became. When he finished reading, his face was ashen. He muttered, "This was all done by my father-in-law and my son. It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me!"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "What does it have to do with you? You shouldn't tell me now."

"Your Majesty should be told."

"When His Majesty was rewarding the meritorious officials, he earnestly told me that you all started from me and achieved this merit with great difficulty, which was not achieved overnight. Now that His Majesty has obtained the throne, he will share the merit with you. You should know the responsibility of this merit. If you violate the law and discipline in the future, the court will never remember our friendship."

"Your Majesty is not merciful even to the founding heroes, let alone your small merits."

"The crimes you have committed are too numerous to list."

"In less than ten years, more than 200 households in Peking, with thousands of people, were torn apart by your family."

"You said your father-in-law's son deserved to die, what about you?"

"As a close friend of His Highness and a thousand-householder guard of His Highness, you have enormous power in Peking. With that power, have you manipulated the power less to play with the people? Have you privately committed fewer evil deeds against ordinary military households? Have you ever thought about standing up for them?"

"By now."

"These things in Peking have been weighed."

"If you, the culprits, are not brought to justice, not only will you be unable to give an explanation to the people of Beiping, but Your Highness will also have a hard time explaining to His Majesty."

"I might as well tell you."

"These account books were sent by Xia Zhibai."

"If I, Yao Guangxiao, had found these account books, I could have turned a blind eye to you for the sake of Your Highness and your past contributions. But unfortunately, these account books were not found by me, but by Xia Zhibai. Xia Zhibai is from the capital. He found out everything about you in just a few days. Do you think I could be less cruel?"

"If I wasn't ruthless, you wouldn't be the only one implicated."

"And your highness."

"Something just happened in Peking."

"I can't stand any more trouble and trouble."

"Who would dare to bet that Xia Zhibai would not report the incident in Beiping to the court?"

"Rather than letting His Highness worry and wait for the court's final decision, it would be better for you to think more about His Highness and take the initiative to die, so as to calm down this turmoil and give His Highness a chance to end the situation in a dignified manner."

"Qiu Fu, you are a smart man."

"He is also a loyal minister."

"Don't make me feel bad for you."

"If you die now, you can still leave behind a reputation. If you wait until the court blames you, you will have nothing left. Even your three clans and nine generations of your clan will be implicated."

"I'm doing it for your own good too."

Qiu Fu was furious.

What kind of bullshit is this? You want to kill yourself and you say it's for your own good?

How is this doing good for yourself?

He doesn't want to die yet.

He had worked hard to climb up from a farmer to his current position, and he hadn't even enjoyed his good fortune for a few years. How could he be willing to die like this?
Qiu Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Master Yao, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I, Qiu Fu, can die, but I want His Highness to announce it in person, otherwise I will not die like this. And why are you so afraid of Xia Zhibai? What's so special about him?"

"Isn't he just a scholar, a civil servant? How could he scare you so much?"

"Aren't you afraid of him?" "Then I'll just go and kill him, and that'll be the end of it, right?"

"If the court blames me, I, Qiu Fu, will bear the responsibility alone and will never implicate Your Highness."

Qiu Fu's face turned pale and he clenched the knife in his hand.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

Qiu Fu pleaded, "Master Yao, I have fought for His Highness and made great contributions. My son is dying. Can't you show some mercy and let me see His Highness? Are you really going to leave me a way out? Are you really not going to take our friendship into consideration?"

"Are you really that cruel?!"

Qiu Fu's voice sounded somewhat desolate, and contained a bit of reluctance and anger.

He must see His Highness.

Seeing His Highness, he still has a chance to survive. His Highness will not watch himself being killed, but Yao Guangxiao, this madman, will really take action. Qiu Fu lowered his head, but looked around, as if looking for an opportunity to break out.

Yao Guangxiao said coldly: "Captain Qiu, stop struggling."

"It's all in vain."

"Not only you, but Li Bin will also die."

"Your Highness has the heart to tolerate you, but as a counselor, I must help Your Highness solve his problems."

Yao Guangxiao slowly took a few steps back, retreating behind the group of soldiers. Then his voice came slowly: "Qiu Fu, I will personally pray for your soul to be reborn."

Hearing that Yao Guangxiao refused to listen, Qiu Fu became completely furious.

He got up from the ground, tightly grasped the goose-wing knife in his hand, and roared: "Yao Guangxiao, you damn bald man, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Highness is close to you. I, Qiu Fu, have indeed made many mistakes, but they are not punishable by death."

"Your Highness will not poison me to death."

"It's you."

"You are misleading people here."

"You are the one who wanted to take my life and kill me, you baldy man."

"Since you won't let me, I will fight my way out. I want to meet His Highness in person and ask him whether I, Qiu Fu, should die or not?!"

Qiu Fu roared hysterically, like a wounded and angry lion, with his eyes bloodshot.

Yao Guangxiao looked calm and said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, the Buddha said that if you don't go to hell, then who will? I am not talented enough, so I can only help you to see the Buddha."

Sonorous!

Several soldiers behind Yao Guangxiao moved.

Not long after.

The fight in the lobby is over.

Qiu Fu fell in a pool of blood in pain.

He did not die immediately. His body was struggling violently, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was emitting painful curses from time to time.

Yao Guangxiao frowned and waved his hand, and then a soldier pulled out a white silk from somewhere and wrapped it around Qiu Fu's neck. Qiu Fu's whole body was shaking, and his cursing became louder and louder, and his eyeballs were about to bulge out, but his cursing did not last long.

With the force exerted by the two soldiers, Qiu Fu was strangled to death on the spot.

Yao Guangxiao had not yet finished reciting the scriptures.

He stopped only when Qiu Fu's face turned completely black. Yao Guangxiao stepped forward and closed Qiu Fu's eyes.

"God has the virtue of good life."

"You died to preserve your chastity, and you will ascend to paradise after death."

Subsequently.

Yao Guangxiao placed the Buddhist beads in his hand on Qiu Fu's chest, and whispered a few words, saying: "Let's go, let others do the rest."

“Leave no one alive!”

"Yes!"

Screams were heard throughout the huge courtyard.

As the sword lights flashed, the entire Qiu Mansion fell completely silent.

The rain is still falling.

Washing away the strong smell of blood in the Qiu Mansion.

More than a dozen lives were forever lost in a pool of blood.

at dusk.

Zhu Di rode his horse past Qiu Mansion.

He did not enter, but just glanced at the closed door and understood what had happened.

There was a smell of blood in there.

Zhu Di turned around and looked at Yao Guangxiao, who had a calm face, and said coldly: "Daoyan, didn't you hear what I said before?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, "Of course I heard it."

“But I don’t think I have done anything wrong.”

"I did not follow your Highness's idea, but the idea of ​​the current emperor. The current emperor is so unreasonable and so heartless. Since your Highness has changed his mind and wants to follow the emperor's mind, then naturally you should do it according to the emperor's way."

"A son should be like his father!"

Zhu Di's face changed slightly and his heart was beating violently.

The expression is very complicated.

a long time.

Zhu Di rode away, leaving only one sentence.

"This will never happen again!"
