All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 71: Torture
"Didn't the sun rise from the west today?"

In the Municipal Library, Liu Ruyan took off her sunglasses, tilted her head to look at the sunlight outside the window, then retracted her gaze to Chen Ran who was reading a book. "You are actually reading a book?"

He raised his head, glanced at her, and continued to read.

Liu Ruyan simply sat down next to him and took the book away with her slender hands. "The Biography of Li Zicheng? Who is Li Zicheng?"

Taking the book back, Chen Ran calmly said, "Illiterate."

"Heh~~~"

"Okay, great talent." Liu Ruyan crossed her long legs and said, "Tell me, what do you think of what I told you before?"

"I've said before, I'm not a bootlicker." Chen Ran closed the book, frowned and looked over, "I don't accept being kept."

"Heh~~~"

The girl bit the sunglasses leg lightly and smiled coldly, "When you coaxed me to go to your house to watch the cat do a backflip, that's not what you said."

"Time passes, things change and people change." Chen Ran's expression remained unchanged. "I am no longer the same person I used to be."

He admitted that he had indeed coveted other people's bodies in the past, but after experiencing the trials and tribulations of the Ming Dynasty world, especially after being manipulated by several beautiful girls, his previous impulse had obviously subsided.

"You've really changed. You've read books and you speak in a sophisticated way." Liu Ruyan bit her teeth lightly. "Do you want to break up?"

In the past, whenever someone mentioned breaking up, Chen Ran would immediately comfort them and continue to lick them, and he had never failed.

But this time.
"what ever."

"Haha~" The girl was really angry and laughed, "Okay, since we broke up, give the house back to me."

Chen Ran paused, reached into his trouser pocket and took out the key to the 180-square-meter house and placed it on the table. "It was originally yours, return it to its original owner."

"Pah!" Liu Ruyan simply stood up and said, "The clothes, belt, and shoes you are wearing are all gifts from me."

Pursing his lips, Chen Ran stood up and began to take off his clothes slowly.

"Okay, okay, you're great!" The girl gritted her teeth, picked up the key and turned to leave. "Don't regret it!"

Looking at the girl's departing back, Chen Ran shook his head and said, "The sunk cost is too high. I can't bear to give it up."

The girl has given too much for him, not just the house and clothes, but love.

I am not willing to give it to him even when it is not my safe period. Of course, the sunk cost is high and I am reluctant to do so.

It was just the girl's request that he really couldn't accept.

Liu Ruyan is going to get married, a match arranged by her family between people of equal social status.

But she couldn't bear to leave Chen Ran and wanted to support him so that they could continue to be together.

Of course Chen Ran could not accept such a request.

He never accepted sharing.

The people at the nearby tables motioned to him to be quiet, as this was a library.

Chen Ran smiled apologetically and sat down to continue reading "The Biography of Li Zicheng".

"Torture him, torture him. How exactly do you torture him? Put him in a pair of iron hoops and roast him over fire."

To be a powerful official you need money, otherwise who will work for you?

If the emperor doesn't give money, there will be rebellion everywhere. The same goes for Chen Ran, the newly-minted powerful official.

He wanted to make money, but he was short of money, so he had to seek help from his friends who were rich but had shady origins.

As for the method, there is a golden house in the book. The book "Biography of Li Zicheng" in my hand describes it in great detail.

Chen Ran read it carefully so that he could use it when he returned to the Ming Dynasty world.

After finishing reading the book, I plan to go home to eat and rest.

But he soon remembered that the house had been returned to Liu Ruyan.

"I'll buy it myself, man."

Bank deposit?

Sorry, I can’t even afford a toilet.

It doesn't matter, he is a wall hanger with a hanging hand.

After completing the main mission of the first world, the system opened the mall.

You can buy anything, including cars, houses, shops, buildings and even companies.

"House." When I opened the house list, all that appeared were house information in local high-end communities, which was no different from online house selling websites.

The only difference is that there are no cheap houses, only high-priced houses.

"This is forcing me to spend money." Chen Ran still had concerns, "System, I bought a house, won't anyone check me out? After all, I don't have that much money."

As expected, a line of subtitles quickly passed by my eyes.

'This system can travel through time and space, and it is easy to help you complete the process. It will arrange information for you to inherit the estate of overseas relatives, and all the procedures, documents, taxes, and legal issues will be solved in one package. You just need to buy it.'

Chen Ran felt relieved and began to select carefully.

The houses offered in the system mall all start at tens of millions.

He finally decided on a 200-square-meter house for 20 million yuan.

Click on the purchase interface 'To purchase this property, you need to spend 20 points of historical deviation value.'

"In other words, the purchasing power of one point of historical deviation is equivalent to a commodity worth millions?"

He returned to his doorstep and waited, and sure enough, a courier brought him the package.

"The property certificate, keys, online registration form, purchase contract, invoice. The formalities are really complete."

I took a taxi to a community with strict security, showed my freshly issued property certificate, and entered smoothly.

"It's comfortable to live in your own house."

That night, Chen Ran slept well and dreamed till dawn.

"The motivation is here, I want to buy, buy, buy!"

Others buy things with money, but he buys things with historical deviation values.

Without further ado, he returned directly to the Ming Dynasty world and worked hard for the historical deviation value! Beijing, north of Dong'an Gate, next to Donghua Gate.

This is a place that everyone in the world fears, the Dongjishichang, also known as the famous East Factory.

Zhu Yuanzhang invented the secret police system, and Zhu Di carried it forward.

The Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard cooperated with each other, and together they were known as the "Depot and Guard" that dominated the world.

The most terrifying thing about them is that they can monitor and arrest anyone at will without the approval of judicial authorities!

The boss of the East Factory is the eunuch who holds the seal of the East Factory, commonly known as the Factory Master.

In modern film and television dramas, the most famous factory manager is Eunuch Cao Huachun.

At this moment, the eunuch Cao, who was so famous that he could stop children from crying at night, was smiling and bowing to Chen Ran, "Greetings, Grand Commander~~~"

That’s right, Chen Ran got promoted again.

As one of the three tutors of the crown prince appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, his first decree after the crown prince ascended the throne was to reopen the Grand Marshal's Office and appoint his own tutor Chen Ran as the Grand Marshal of the Five Military Governor's Office.

At least in name, all the troops in the Ming Dynasty were under his control.

His power is even greater than that of Xu Da back then.

Because when Xu Da was the Grand Commander, the emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang.

The emperor at that time was just a child.

Chen Ran smiled and extended his hand to support them. "No need to be polite. Thank you for your hard work."

From Eunuch Cao down, all the heads, thousand households, and hundred households all said they dared not.

He walked into the lobby with a group of soldiers.

While working in the lobby, a royal relative with a plump figure and gorgeous clothes was lying on the ground howling like a pig being slaughtered.

"Who is this"

"To answer the Grand Commander, this is the Earl of Jiading."

"Oh." Chen Ran nodded, "So it's the father-in-law of the emperor."

Zhou Kui, the Earl of Jiading, is the father of Queen Zhou and now Empress Dowager Zhou.

After Prince Xin ascended the throne, he also rose rapidly in succession.

"Grand Commander, Grand Commander~~~" Zhou Kui saw Chen Ran coming in, and immediately cried and begged, "I am Zhou Kui, please save me~~~"

"Humble official?" Chen Ran was slightly surprised.

Cao Huachun, who was standing by, hurriedly said, "Grand Commander, Zhou Kui holds the title of Deputy Commander of the Left Army Commander's Office, and Grand Commander is his direct supervisor. He is also the Deputy Commander of the Southern City Military Command of the Five Cities Military Command."

"Yeah." Chen Ran nodded repeatedly. "What crime did he commit? After all, he is someone's subordinate. We can't wrongly accuse a good person."

Everyone said yes, but they were naturally complaining in their hearts, "We arrested people according to the list you gave us, and he was the first one on the list!"

Eunuch Cao coughed and explained, "Grand Commander, this man manipulated the high interest rate and exploited countless people. Many people in the city were forced to lose their families by him. He spied on the inner court and sold out the palace information, which was extremely treasonous. He instructed the South City Military Department and others to collect protection fees, bullied men and women, and killed dozens of people. His crimes are extremely heinous and he deserves to be put to death."

"Is there any evidence?"

"The evidence is irrefutable, and the victims are here."

"You." Chen Ran looked at Zhou Kui, frowned and scolded, "You are guilty of such heinous crimes and yet you dare to ask for help? All your titles will be stripped! You continue to interrogate them and never let any bad guy go."

Cao Huachun responded repeatedly.

When Chen Ran sat down to drink tea, he immediately straightened his back and scolded the head of the East Factory, "Why are you dawdling? Execute him immediately!"

"I obey your orders." The head waiter responded repeatedly. When Eunuch Cao sat down, he straightened his back and shouted at the guards, "Let Earl Jiading see our methods. Get to work!"

Several guards wearing pointed hats, white shoes, brown clothes and small belts immediately stepped forward, held Zhou Kui down and pulled his hands away.

A set of clamps came up and put all his fingers into them.

Two guards grabbed the rope, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled it hard!
"Ouch~~~"

Zhou Kui, whose face was distorted like that of an evil ghost, immediately straightened his upper body and wailed miserably like a ghost or a wolf howling.

"Tsk tsk." Chen Ran used the lid of the bowl to brush away the floating tea leaves and sighed softly, "We are connected to each other. Lord Jiading, considering that you were once my subordinate, I advise you to confess."

Zhou Kui was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Ever since his daughter married Prince Xin, he has been living a life of luxury. After all these years of being pampered, how could he endure such a cruel punishment?

"Crack!"

The sound of broken finger bones was heard, and Zhou Kui's pain tolerance was broken. He rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, stuck out his tongue, and fainted.

"Crash~~~"

A bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and the medical officer who had been waiting nearby came forward to give Zhou Kui a few injections. Zhou Kui, with a pale face, slowly opened his eyes.

The man pulled his hair and glared at him fiercely, "Do you want to confess?!"

"Confess, what should I confess?" Zhou Kui couldn't stop crying. "You guys just tortured me after I was caught, and didn't even tell me what I should confess~~~"

"Tell me, where are all the treasures in your house hidden?!"

Torture, torture.

Torture is the process, reward is the result.

The purpose of copying and copying is wealth.

The "Biography of Li Zicheng" said that King Chuang extorted 70 million taels of silver from the emperor, but Chen Ran did not believe it.

The capital city is indeed a gathering place for wealthy families, but they definitely do not possess 70 million taels of silver.

The magnificent house, beautiful women, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, land and shops, jade, jewelry and even food, all added up to a value of about 70 million taels.

Other things are easy to find, but antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade, jewelry, gold, silver and other valuables are all hidden away.

If you want to find it, you have to torture the original owner.

Seeing that the Dongchang guards were about to put him in the trap again, Zhou Kui, who could not bear the pain, cried with tears and snot, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I hid all the things in the outer house in the south of the city~~~"
