I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 191 Guo Wenyu's Struggle
Donghuamen, the location of Dongchang.

In the dark and obscure underground prison.

Guo Wenyu's hair is disheveled, and her official clothes have long since disappeared.

The pure white obscene clothes were already covered with welts and bloodstains.

After playing Dongchang Fanzi for a long time, he seemed a little tired, so he slumped onto the armchair next to him, drinking tea slowly and mockingly said,

"Guo Shilang, are you still unwilling to confess? The governor has an order. If you can't get more information out of your mouth before tonight, you will have to pay for it!"

Guo Wenyu originally intended that as long as Lu Zhen was confessed, the attention of the officials and Li Tian could be diverted to this bigger moth.

As long as his real behind-the-scenes master Wu Yuanhou Zhu Rong gets the news, he will definitely try his best to excuse himself.

Only in this way can he survive from the dead and find a chance of survival in the cracks.

What he didn't expect was that Lu Zhen sold him and the master behind him as soon as he came up. He still didn't know it at this time, and blindly carried it to death.

It's not that he is really so stubborn, he still hasn't let go after being tortured by whipping for several hours.

Rather, he is very clear that once he completely escapes.

In such a big corruption case, the imperial court must find a scapegoat to come out, and with the weight of the left servant of the household department, he must be the one who suffers first.

There is still a slight chance of surviving, but if you say it, you may lose your head in a matter of minutes.

But the Dongchang fanzi were all dispatched by elite personnel from Jinyiwei, and each of them was as elite as a monkey.

Various methods emerged one after another, how could a delicate and frail civil servant like him bear this kind of torture.

After one or two hours of torture, he passed out three or four times, but every time he was splashed with cold water to wake him up.

It seems that I can't hold on anymore.

He stammered, dying, "I want to see the emperor, I am willing to recruit!"

Guo Wenyu is also clear in his heart, although Zhu Rong, the master behind him, is a border general who is ruled by the royal family and nobles.

But the border is hundreds or thousands of miles away, and it takes at least three or four days for news to come and go.

Even if Zhu Rong received the news and came to speak for him, his body would probably be completely cold by then.

In this situation, the only way to avoid death is to ask the emperor for an oral order.

I heard that he was going to see the emperor.

The person in charge of the interrogation sneered.

"Guo Shilang, you probably don't know it yet, but next door to you lives Lord Lu Zhenlu, the censor of Zuodu, who has already shaken everything about you.

Your Majesty knows everything now, and I am afraid that Your Majesty knows more about the things you have been unwilling to admit to than yourself. "

Hearing this, Guo Wenyu's expression suddenly changed.

"What are you talking about, Lu Zhen recruited them all?"

The head of the Dongchang stall was just talking casually. In fact, he didn't know exactly what tricks Lu Zhen had made.

But it's okay for him to use this matter to deceive Guo Wenyu.

Seeing that he was so shocked, the other guy sensed that there was a door.

Immediately added, "If you confess everything now, maybe you can leave a whole body and save the lives of your family members.

If you wait until everything comes to light, and you want to confess at that time, you won't be treated like this. "

Guo Wenyu was completely desperate.

Guo Wenyu also knew something about Lu Zhen.

He clearly knew that Lu Zhen was a person who was very good at making money, and was very good at flattering his superiors.

The more such people are, the more afraid of death they are, and they are more cautious in doing things. They even have to think about every word in a sentence for a long time.

He didn't understand, how could such a cautious person recruit everything from the beginning, wouldn't he be courting death?

His estimation, according to the previous Lu Zhen, is indeed correct.

But at this time, Lu Zhen's power was greatly reduced.

Not to mention Li Tian's reluctance to his tricks, let's talk about the newly established judicial yamen and other yamen, his power has long been divided to the extreme.

Even if it is said that he has been emptied out and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only an empty shell, it is not an exaggeration.

Under such circumstances, Lu Zhen also had to start to seek a new way out for his future.

However, before he really started planning, he didn't expect that the left servant of the household department who was originally used to raise money and was recommended to come up, unexpectedly, almost killed him with one bite.

With Lu Zhen's character, he would not admit defeat so easily, but he is already in decline.

His colleagues in the past were so prejudiced against him, let alone relying on them to save his life, it would have been very good if he didn't add trouble to him at this time.

At this time, only by biting more people can he find a chance of survival in the chaos.

That's why when Li Tian questioned him face to face, he directly revealed all the secret collusion between Guo Wenyu and Zhu Rong, in order to extract himself from it.

After hearing what this person said, Guo Wenyu understood the situation thoroughly.

In my heart I hated myself for being reckless for a while, it was not good to bite out someone, but I just bit out such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

However, he also knew that in order to survive, Lu Zhen naturally refused to say more about himself, no matter how much he said, there must be something to hide.

He gritted his teeth, and thought with a ferocious face, "Lu Zhen, if you don't let me live, don't think about it, let's see who can really laugh last."

"I am willing to recruit"

The head of the stall was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately regained his spirits.

"Come on, prepare a pen and paper!"

Guo Wenyu was also a servant of the third rank in the dynasty, one of the hall officials who could meet the emperor face to face, even if he wanted to confess, how could he be willing to confess to a mere Dongchang fan?

He said coldly, "I want to meet the emperor, or the governor of Dongchang Huang, otherwise I won't say a word."

The stall was slightly taken aback.

This major corruption case is different from the past, but His Majesty hand-picked it. If more secrets can be revealed from Guo Wenyu's mouth, it will be of great benefit to his future career.

But now that Guo Wenyu only wanted to tell His Majesty or the governor that the fat around his mouth was about to fly away, how could he be reconciled.

"Death is imminent, and there are many things to do!"

I just want to serve him with a big punishment, so that he will not think about other things.

But he remembered what Huang Yan had said to him before.

"Your Majesty's meaning is obvious, that is, Guo Wenyu cannot die until the matter is clarified, and you can figure out the rest!"

If it is an ordinary person, death under torture is also death.

But Guo Wenyu, as the source of this matter, has a pivotal position, if he dies.

In case Zhu Rong refuses to admit it, there is no witness, even if the emperor wants to investigate Zhu Rong, there is nothing he can do.

Thinking of this, the stall head hesitated.
