"My lord, these three people secretly colluded with the thieves and ignored the interests of the Ming Dynasty. They all deserve to die. Please deal with them." Zhu Cixiang, who was completely disappointed, said bitterly.
"Yes." Wang Chengen nodded repeatedly. He knew that these three people were finished.
"Wait." Just when Wang Chengen accepted the order and wanted to call people to kill the three people, Zhu Changwu on the side spoke.
"What else are you going to do? His Highness the Crown Prince has already said that three people will be executed, are you going to stop him?" Wang Chengen, who felt his face was dull, saw Zhu Changwu jump out again at this moment, and his eyes widened as if reproaching him. Talking.
"Come on, my dear son, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you forgotten that His Majesty said that I will have full authority to handle these matters? Do you want to resist?" Zhu Changwu is not afraid of Wang Chengen. This person is truly loyal, and in return, he will not take the initiative to deal with him. If he wants to stop him from doing something, hum! He's not qualified yet.
Do you want to resist the decree?
What happened was that Wang Chengen's expression changed drastically. Even the expression of Prince Zhu Cixiang who was standing aside changed again and again. Then he cupped his hands and said to Zhu Changwu: "I am being reckless. The matters here should really be handled by the general." It’s up to you to decide.”
"Hey, you're sensible." Seeing that the prince had surrendered, Zhu Changwu smiled with satisfaction.
When Wang Chengen heard that Zhu Changwu actually said that the prince was sensible, which was not what a minister should say, he couldn't help but get angry again. But Zhu Changwu didn't give him this chance at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pushed him aside.
Speaking of which, Wang Chengen is good at kung fu. Although he cannot be said to be very good at it, he still has no problem dealing with ordinary people. But in the face of Zhu Changwu's slight exertion, he stepped aside without any resistance. From this point of view, the strength of the two was far behind.
After gaining the initiative and processing power, Zhu Changwu's expression changed. When he looked at Cao Huachun and the others, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would kill you. I deeply agree with this. It's just that. I think it's too cheap to just kill you. I think more extreme measures should be taken to deal with you. Otherwise, it won't be enough to calm the anger in my heart. Come on, find some good guys and give Lingchi to the three of you. , until they bring out all the gold and silver from where they were buried.”
"Tell the people below that the three of them are not allowed to die like this before they tell where the money is hidden. If something goes wrong along the way, the person who will be tortured will be guilty of the same crime."
"Of course, if there is a punishment, there will be a reward. If you are the first to ask where the money is, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. The second person to ask will be rewarded with fifty taels. The last person to ask will be rewarded with only ten taels. Hurry up. Let’s make arrangements.”
Zhu Changwu said carelessly, Zhu Changwu had no intention of letting Cao Huachun and the others go. If it wasn't for getting their money, I'm afraid when he came just now, he wouldn't even say a word of nonsense, and just go straight to the sword. Killed three people.
He waited until now just to get their money. After all, he was too poor now. Seeing that the army would return to the city in triumph early tomorrow morning, it was time to cash in the money. If he couldn't get it, then don't think about the Ming army. Continue to listen to him and serve him.
In the final analysis, Zhu Changwu came here just for money, and the confessions of the three people were secondary. Even if the three people did not plead guilty, he would not care.
He, Zhu Changwu, kills people without a reason!
Zhu Changwu took over here. After Zhu Cihong and Wang Chengen stayed for a while, after seeing pieces of flesh and blood being cut off from the bodies of Cao Huachun and the others, they suddenly felt their scalps numb and did not stay any longer. They left and went back. Return to life.
After there was no one else in the execution room, Zhu Changwu sat on a chair and watched with interest. He was very curious about how much silver and money the three of them had in their hands.
The commander personally sat in the battle, and the three people in charge of the execution felt extremely honored. With the stimulation of the silver coins, the three of them used all their special skills, and the pieces of meat quickly fell to the floor.
The three of them, Cao Huachun, kept wailing, and it seemed that they could no longer hold on any longer. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Huan, who had finished dinner, came over.
Originally, he had not rested all day and was still a little tired. However, after being promoted to an official, he entered the state of resurrection with full blood.
"Young master, just leave the matters here to your subordinates. It's almost time, go and have a rest." When he came to Zhu Changwu, Zhang Xi greeted him with concern.
"It's okay. I'm here to keep an eye on you. You have other important matters. Did you find a lot of money from Duke Chengguo's mansion?" Zhu Changwu slowly opened his eyes. He was napping just now. With his strong mental strength, he only needs to close his eyes for a while a day to become lively again.
When he talked about this matter, Zhang Xi also became excited, "Yes, don't mention it, that old guy Zhang Chunchen has a lot of money at home, and he was found to have as much as 3.2 million taels." , all the money is in the treasury of Duke Chengguo, and there is no intention to hide it at all."
When talking about this matter, Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh. We are all human beings. Think about yourself. Now you don’t even have five taels of silver in your pocket. This is the gap.
After Zhu Changwu heard this, he was not surprised at all. Thinking that the Duke has been hereditary for many generations, more than three million taels accumulated over many years is not a lot. As for covering up, when the favor was at its peak, there was no need to hide anything. I was afraid that even when Zhu Chunchen died, he did not expect that someone would dare to chop him with a knife.
"Okay, you go get some money and go out. Go out now, and then do this, do this, and so on..." Zhu Changwu bit Zhang Huan's ear.
Zhang Xi's eyes grew wider and wider. After hearing all Zhu Changwu said, he added a question, "How is it? Can things be done?"
"Don't worry, young master, there will be no problem. As long as there is money to be made, there must be many people who are willing, so you can feel free to leave the matter to the subordinate." Zhang Xi said assuringly.
"Very good, I can trust you to do your work. In this way, you can go. By the way, bring more guards. If there are useful people, you can write down their names. I will promote them later." Zhu Changwu smiled and said, Another promise was made.
If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass. Since you have the royal power charter in your hands, of course you have to promote some useful people. I don’t know if you have the right not to use it, will it expire when it expires?
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Zhang Xi immediately thought of a person: "Sir, I really like this person. This person is very good at martial arts, especially light kung fu. He is also very capable of killing enemies immediately." , the Jianghu people gave him the nickname "Xue Changkong". This time, there were still people who wanted to resist arrest in Cheng Guogong's mansion. It was only after he injured two people that he calmed down the situation. If he can be placed next to the official, Then things will be much smoother."
Note: Xue Changkong is a character recommended by book friend 61184961.
"Oh, the name is good, Lao Zhang, you are good at it, and you are also good at discovering talents." Zhu Changwu also laughed when he heard this.
Seeing that Zhu Changwu seemed to be in a good mood, Zhang Xi also smiled and said: "This is all the master's teaching."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you think he is good, then let him follow you and continue to observe. By the way, what is his position?"
"Back to the young master, he is a general banner."
"Okay, tell him that from now on he will also be a member of the 100th household. Let him work well with you. The master will not treat him badly in the future." After hearing that he was still a general, Zhu Changwu promoted him to an official.
"Thank you so much, sir. I will thank you on behalf of Xu Changkong." After hearing this, Zhang Yi thanked him repeatedly.
"There's no need to say more good things. Do your job well and don't let me down. Do you understand?" After giving Tianzao, you also need to put pressure. This is the way to employ people. Showing weakness and applying force are not long-term solutions.
"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely make things beautiful." Zhang Xi promised, and then left with satisfaction.
After Zhang Yi left, Zhu Changwu couldn't help but think of another Baihu whom he promoted, and then said to a guard in Jin Yi who was waiting for his orders at any time: "Where is Sun Baihu?"
"Come back to the commander, Sun Baihu is on duty outside." The Jin Yiwei said quickly, with indescribable respect in his tone.
Just now, he heard that Zhu Changwu promoted another member of the Hundred Households. If he served well, maybe good things would happen to him.
"Well, ask him to come over." Zhu Changwu said.
The Jin Yiwei turned around and left. After a while, Sun Chuang ran up to Zhu Changwu and said, "Master Commander, please call me."
"Is there anything going on outside?" Zhu Changwu asked.
"Yes, there were some people from Dongchang outside who wanted to come over to inquire about the news, but they were kicked away by the younger ones." Sun Chuang answered truthfully.
"Are you really here? It's interesting, okay. When someone comes to inquire about the information, they will be detained and then taken to another cell to interrogate who sent them." The look on Zhu Changwu's face He spoke like he was smiling but not smiling.
Cao Huachun and the three of them are all prominent figures in the East Factory. So since they have chosen to have secret connections with the intruders, will the other eunuchs really be so honest?
Zhu Changwu didn't believe it.
If they still had accomplices, how could they resist visiting after knowing that Cao Huachun and the others were taken to the Jinyiwei dungeon?
If analyzed in this way, the result is not difficult to come out. But everyone who comes to seek information is probably someone who has done something bad. Even if that's the case, let's catch them one by one and see who the masters behind them are. They will be dealt with later.
Again, Ming Dynasty is rotten to the root. If you want to solve the problem, you must start from the root. Don't be afraid of killing more people. After the bad guys are dead and the disloyal people are dead, the rest will be available. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be revived.
"Yes, commander." Sun Chuang did not ask why, nor did he show any hesitation. He knew who gave him his hundred households. In the eyes of others, he was Zhu Changwu's man. Once the master fell, what would happen next? It's his turn to be unlucky, so if he wants to gain a foothold, he must listen to his master. Other issues are not what he should consider now.
