Chapter 112 Torture
After taking two steps, Zhufeng stopped again to remind him.
"Oh, by the way, take the little one in the house with you too."
When Li Liniang heard this, she immediately became angry: "Didn't King Jing promise to protect our mother and son from death?"
Zhufeng sneered: "Master said he would protect you from death, but he didn't say he would absolve you of your guilt."
"As for the outrageous things you have done, it is enough to die a few times. What are you dreaming about if you still want to escape innocently?"
Li Liniang was choked and speechless.
Zhao Renxian understood the reason why Li Liniang betrayed him, and cursed angrily: "Stupid woman."
Zhufeng said considerately: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will lock you two together for a while and let you and your wife talk properly."
Zhao Renxian snorted coldly, not appreciating it.
Because Zhao Renxian was imprisoned and the evidence was conclusive, the guards and officials of Fuyin Mansion did not dare to cause trouble, but Yu Zheng's order was followed.
After all, they receive royal salaries and eat official meals.
In the early morning, Zhao Renxian's family members in the Fuyin Mansion were sleeping soundly with their heads covered when they were suddenly picked up from their beds and thrown into prison.
After Zhao Renxian's eldest son came to his senses, he struggled and shouted: "Let me go, do you know who my father is? How dare you arrest me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, your father is also inside." Zhufeng informed kindly.
Mr. Zhao was stunned: "What did my father commit? Why do you arrest us?"
"Ask your father." Zhufeng kicked him into the cell door.
The female family members of the Zhao family were filled with grief, crying, and huddled together in a state of confusion.
Until they saw Zhao Renxian and Li Liniang in the next cell.
"Dad, who is this woman? Why are you with her?" Zhao Renxian's daughter was the first to ask.
Zhao Renxian was shackled and sat silently with his head down.
Li Liniang leaned against him timidly, and the relationship between the two was self-evident.
"Okay, you actually raised a foreign wife. I didn't believe it before when others talked nonsense in front of me..."
Mrs. Zhao rushed to the partition between the two cells, pointed at Zhao Renxian and Li Liniang and cursed.
The tone was so ferocious and the words so dirty that the guards frowned when they heard it.
This bitch's scolding was so filthy that it was almost unbearable to hear.
Zhao Renxian gritted his teeth angrily, and finally understood why Zhufeng had "good intentions" and locked him and Li Liniang together.
Not only that, Zhufeng also deliberately locked Mr. Zhao and Zhao Xuan in the same cell to make them recognize each other as brothers, and they fought fiercely.
"Tsk, tsk, this family is really lively." The guard watching looked at it with great interest.
On the left, Mrs. Zhao was questioning and swearing at several concubines. On the right, her two sons were beating each other. Zhao Renxian was sitting in the middle cell, his face turned blue with anger.
It's all death anyway, so it's better to give him a happy life after such torture.
However, the crime he committed was so serious that Yu Zheng would not execute him on the spot. Instead, he would be taken to Beijing for further processing, and his accomplices would also be tortured and interrogated.
For example, the governor of Jiangnan.
The rain has been pouring down, changing in intensity and intensity, but it just won't stop.
Jiang Shu stood up and pushed open the window, looking at the hazy scenery outside the window, knowing that he couldn't leave today.
It's raining and it's not suitable to travel. There are very few people on the street. It will be more difficult for the beggars to beg for food. Fortunately, yesterday evening, the guards bought food for the little monkeys and the others.
"Master, should you have breakfast in the house or go down?" Tan Yu brought hot water and waited on Jiang Shu to wash up.
Jiang Shu washed his face and said, "Go down and eat."
If you're stuck in the house with nothing to do, why not go down and listen to the fun and excitement.
After the master and servant had finished packing, they went downstairs and sat down at a random table in the lobby. They ate breakfast and listened to the gossip of other diners.
"Life is really unpredictable. Yesterday I was the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, and today I am a prisoner."
"No, these ups and downs are more unpredictable than the drama on the stage. We, ordinary people, still live a steady life."
"Zhao Renxian deserves what he deserves. If he refuses to be a good and upright official, he must become a corrupt official. How many people have been killed by the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the confiscation of their homes and annihilation of their clans are not enough to make the people angry."
Zhao Renxian was arrested so quickly? When did it happen?
Jiang Shu hurriedly asked the people next to him.
Several people pointed outside the house and said, "There is a notice posted on the wall next to the inn. You will know if you go and take a look."
After talking, the few people continued to chat.
"Thanks to His Highness King Jing this time, he not only came to build the river embankment in person, but also appointed this dog official. It's really satisfying."
"Yes, if all Jokhang officials were like His Highness King Jing, we would be blessed."
Jiang Shu didn't care about eating, got up and ran outside the inn to check.
"Boss, it's raining, umbrella!" Tan Yu hurriedly borrowed an umbrella from the shopkeeper and quickly chased after him.
It was drizzling, but Jiang Shu didn't care. He stood in front of the notice and read it word for word very seriously.
"My boss." Tan Yu rushed over to hold an umbrella for Jiang Shu, fearing that she might have gonorrhea.
After reading the content on the notice, Jiang Shu let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty moved so fast. I'm afraid I didn't sleep all night last night."
Tan Yu said: "After getting rid of this dog official, the prince and the others can sleep peacefully and peacefully."
"Well, let's go back." Jiang Shu turned around with a faint smile on his lips.
The light rain was falling, and Yu Zheng and his party rode out of the city and headed upstream to the river embankment.
After a busy night, Yu Zheng just took a break to have breakfast when he received a report from his servants that a river embankment that had not been built in time had burst and the river water was overflowing, but the nearby villagers refused to leave.
It rained heavily all night last night. Although the river has not risen enough to flood the village, it is still raining. If it continues, people will definitely die.
Fu Yin has been imprisoned, and Lin'an Mansion has no one in charge, so Yu Zheng can only go there in person.
We drove fast in the rain and were almost soaked when we arrived at the village.
The rain became heavier again.
Yu Zheng stood on a high place and looked at the village washed by the heavy rain, and at the river slowly flowing into the village. Ming Zhuiyun took his token to find the village chief and gathered all the villagers at the village chief's house.
According to Yu Zheng's instructions, Zhui Yun ordered people to put the silver they brought on the table and spread it out for the villagers to see.
"King Jing has an order. Anyone who packs his things and leaves the village within an hour will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately exploded.
"What, ten taels of silver, is that true?"
"Then can we come back after we leave? If we can't come back, these ten taels of silver are not enough to build a new house."
Zhuiyun said in a deep voice: "Master Meng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has led people to repair the river embankment. As long as the river embankment is repaired, everyone can come back."
"Life is at stake, and the temporary evacuation is for everyone's safety. We are waiting at the entrance of the village for everyone to collect their money."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuiyun ordered his guards to carry the money and the table directly to the entrance of the village, and waited for the villagers to evacuate while wearing coir raincoats and hats.
Who doesn't love the free money? With the village chief taking the lead, the villagers rushed back to pack up their valuables, drive the cows and pigs, and carry the chickens to carry the babies for evacuation.
The villagers had been working diligently for a year, but they couldn't exchange for ten taels of silver, so they naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to get it for free.
The small mountain of money quickly bottomed out, but Zhuiyun didn't feel bad at all, because none of the money was copied from Zhao Renxian.
If you take greed from the people, return it to the people.
