Peng Bin took advantage of him several times, and became more and more excessive. This time, he even wanted to take advantage of his own wife and concubines. This was something Yang Weidou could not accept.
If it was not illegal to kill someone, Yang Weidou would kill it after he got out, cut it into thousands of pieces and feed it to the dogs to satisfy his hatred.
On the contrary, they need to make long-term plans over there. If someone can act for him and kill Peng Bin, he will be convinced and can reward him with a hundred taels of silver.
"Get out? Hum! Brother Yang, do you think you can get out? He is so 'loyal and good', so he should stay in the prison forever!"
Peng Bin believes that if Yang Weidou and others have not confessed, whether actively or passively, the court is unlikely to let these people go.
Even a Donglin leader like Qian Qianyi would be executed if he did not take the initiative to plead guilty, let alone those with a much lower reputation.
Although Yang Weidou and others have a good reputation as "loyal and good", it is not a blessing after all to disobey the holy will and fight against the imperial court.
How these people will be punished depends on the emperor's determination.
"This is just wishful thinking like a thief like you! We are loyal and good people. It has been stated in the Book of Heaven. How can we be punished?"
Yang Weidou now increasingly believes that he and his colleagues will be punished by the court, otherwise Chongzhen will be disrespectful to the Book of Heaven.
"Oh? If Brother Yang thinks that what is stated in the Heavenly Book is true, but Li Zhan and others believe the opposite, I wonder if the two sides have conflicting conclusions. Which one is true?"
Peng Bin was very good at initiating battles, and he immediately connected "Zhongliang" Yang Weidou and "Second Minister" Li Zhan.
"Peng Bin! Don't even think of succeeding! We are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty! Chongzhen is an ignorant and ignorant king!"
Li Zhan was listening with open ears next door. He was going to be executed tomorrow, so he was not in the mood to sleep.
"Really? Didn't Brother Li just say that someone who exposes the enemy will die? How can he say that he is a loyal and good person? According to Brother Li, if you confess, you are a traitor, and if you don't admit it, you are a loyal and good person? Doesn't that mean that Brother Yang is a loyal person? Does your status as a loyal and good person depend entirely on your mouth?"
Ruan Dacheng was impressed by Peng Bin's sophistry. In terms of cheating, Peng Bin was already considered the number one in the entire imperial prison.
"Fart! The thief Peng Bin! He wants to frame me again! I, Yang Wei, fight with integrity..."
"Yes, yes! Brother Yang is a gentleman, and I am a villain. Even if Brother Yang accepts gifts, he is aboveboard. Even if I plead guilty, I am still a street rat! Brother Yang is domineering and mighty! Brother Yang is righteous! Brother Yang is invincible! Okay. ?”
"you……"
"Isn't what I'm saying the truth? Could it be that Brother Yang just spoke unscrupulously? What he did was not aboveboard? Since he is aboveboard, why are you afraid of telling me this? Brother Yang, a kind of 'loyalty', will definitely be praised by future generations. Receiving gifts must be fair and aboveboard, then you are Zhongliang! Let me, the moths everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, transform into "Zhongliang". Brother Yang deserves the greatest credit. He should be named "Zhongliang University Scholar" by His Majesty in recognition of Brother Yang's fair and aboveboard acceptance of gifts. He is a role model for the world! I think Yan Song, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others were punished by the court because they did not accept gifts openly and aboveboard. If such people were to receive the true inheritance of Brother Yang, they would definitely be famous throughout the ages! But Brother Yang received gifts openly and aboveboard, but Be remembered for generations to come!”
The other party took the initiative to give him an excuse, so Peng Bin took the opportunity to make use of the topic.
This is really what the speaker means and what he listens to means...
"Dog thief Peng Bin! You won't die easily!"
"I will definitely take care of Brother Yang's wife and concubines before I die, hahahaha!"
"Ah...go to hell!"
"I have to take good care of you even though I have a weak kidney!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Now it was the jailers' turn to laugh. This Peng Bin was really interesting. He was a sweet-tempered man and would not suffer any loss from his words. But he had to be careful not to let him take advantage of him.
"Peng Bin! Don't be so proud! You are just a pawn in the hands of the imperial court, and you don't even know it! The day you are abandoned by the imperial court, you will definitely regret it!"
Wu Yingji, one of the leaders of the Fushe, came to the rescue of Yang Weidou, who was so angry that he was about to hit his head on the fence. He really couldn't stand it. What Peng Bin said had broken the bottom line of a scholar.
"Don't worry about it, Chief Wu. How can the court care about the superiors? The superiors are held high by the subordinates. The subordinates are just bugs, far from being considered chess pieces. If you are successful in life, you must have fun. If you don't have ambitions, you should eat after you go out. It’s time to eat, drink, play, have fun, how happy it is! Maybe it will come in again one day, but I can’t waste my good years!”
The group of "loyal people" on the opposite side would probably go back to their old jobs after leaving. Peng Bin didn't want to seek death on his own initiative. He no longer wanted to get involved in those things before. Eating, drinking, and playing with women was the right way to go.
"you……"
This guy was obviously incompetent and ignorant of good and evil. Wu Yingji was really made dumbfounded, but it didn't matter, everyone had their own ambitions and couldn't force it.
"Okay! Let's eat!"
Ruan Dacheng saw that he had finished talking, so he added a sentence at the right time. The performance of his neighbor just now proved that even if conflicts and disputes arise between scholars, try not to use your mouth if you can do it!
why?
After talking for a long time and still not being able to convince others, isn't it self-humiliating?
Ruan Dacheng didn't know what he was thinking about someone like Yang Weidou.
Knowing that Peng Bin is good at sophistry, he took the initiative to engage in a verbal war with him, and then was shot through by Peng Bin with thousands of arrows...
Before, it was just a personal humiliation, but now, even the family members have been affected!
Alas!
But when everyone lowered their heads and looked at the situation in the bowl, they lost their appetite.
The people in Li Zhan's cell will all be executed tomorrow. In addition, there is excrement and filth everywhere, and the stench is extremely bad. They are not in the mood.
Ruan Dacheng and Wu Yingji knew that they would be released soon, so they could make up for themselves with a good meal when they went out, so they were not so concerned about rice and pickles.
But if you don't eat, you're really hungry. It's not yet known when the court will release him. If he goes on a hunger strike in disguise after three days, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
"Chief! If you invite Master Ruan to a banquet, can I go and have some dinner?"
Peng Bin knew that his family property would probably not be saved. Taking the initiative to plead guilty and seek refuge with the court would be tantamount to falling out with Jiangnan Shilin, and the only people in the same cell who could reward him with a meal.
"Haha, if I prepare a big banquet, you can come and patronize me. If I prepare simple meals, you can come too!"
Qian Qianyi secretly praised this young man for being so thoughtful. Even now, he was still thinking about making a living.
Thinking about it, it's understandable. My family is well-off and has many connections. Even if my house is confiscated, it's not too difficult to entertain guests and friends.
"Thank you, Chief! I hope Master Ruan won't take offense!"
Peng Bin is not just going to make a living. Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng are far more powerful than him. If they can get some light, they will have a way out.
Peng Bin had already made plans before. First of all, it would be great if the court could arrange an errand for him. Secondly, if the court is unreliable, then you have to fend for yourself. Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng are the best teachers.
Finally, if you really can't survive in the Jiangnan area, then go north to find the prince. As long as you can fill your stomach and not starve to death, you can write articles and criticize Shilin every day!
Peng Bin had read Fang Yizhi's article in the "Jingshi Daily" and thought that he could not learn from Fang Yizhi, but Fang Yizhi had become the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and was said to be well paid.
I don’t seek equal treatment, I just need to be an editor, write articles every day, publish them in newspapers, and spread the word, wouldn’t I be able to make myself famous?
"No, no!"
Ruan Dacheng saw through Peng Bin's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He also wanted to thank this young man for reminding Qian Qianyi, otherwise the old man deliberately forgot his previous promise and he would be embarrassed to speak.
Among the people in this cell, Peng Bin and Chen Mingxia should be in the same group. Wei Xuelian, Gong Dingzi, and Hou Fangyu have similar relationships, but there should be a gap between the two groups.
Wang Duo, Liang Yungou, Zhang Weiji, Cai Yichen, including Qian Qianyi, who came in later, and Ruan Dacheng can't see any clues yet.
They were both guilty of the crime, but they obviously had different thoughts. Far from being united, they were divided into several small groups.
Since he had taken refuge with Wei Zhongxian and had already gained a bad reputation, Ruan Dacheng could not say much and could only wait and see what would happen.
After everyone finished eating, they heard Wu Yingji and others comforting Li Zhan and others who were about to be executed. Not only did they promise to take care of their families, but they also said that they would continue to redress their grievances, which would surely shock the government and the public and embarrass Emperor Chongzhen.
"Hmph!"
"Brother Chen, why are you like this?"
"I'm afraid these people's property will also be confiscated, so how can they take care of other people's families?"
When Chen Mingxia said this, Peng Bindun felt that it made sense. It turned out that this guy thought the same way.
Although they are all second ministers, they are considered guilty, but they are not outsiders, let alone fools.
These "loyal and good people" are so unbridled and contemptuous of the emperor, which makes the court hate them. Can the court let them go out and live happily?
It would be a good idea to teach these "loyal and good" people a lesson so that they can avoid being arrogant and trying to fight against the imperial court again and again.
You can think of the consequences of letting these "loyal and good people" go unchecked, and the court can even think of them.
What's commendable is that Yang Weidou and others don't think so...
After being released from prison, you will definitely know what a "surprise" is!
As a second minister, it is reasonable for him to be in such a miserable state.
The other party is a loyal and kind person, but he is as miserable as himself. It is his own fault!
Thinking of this, Peng Bin felt much more balanced, and he felt less heartbroken about having his property confiscated.
If you can see such "loyal and good people" beating their chests and crying, maybe they will think it is worth it!
"Ouch~! It stinks so much!"
The jailers looked like prisoners being lifted out of the latrine. They all covered their mouths and noses and were very disgusted with Li Zhan and others who were like balls of dung.
"This statement may make the executioner stupid!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"ah?"
"Zheshi?"
Li Zhan, Tang Shiji, Li Qiao, and Qi Fengji were immediately dumbfounded. Weren't they being beheaded? How can it become Zoshi?
How much does it hurt?
God cannot tolerate it!
"You claim to be loyal and good, and the court will treat you like a good person. Doesn't this show that you have a good reputation?"
The jailer gave a good explanation, but probably not many people would be able to accept it.
"I'm not convinced! I want to see you in person... Your Majesty!"
Li Zhan and others were determined not to have their bodies chopped off piece by piece by the executioner. They still wanted to live well.
"How dare you! Go quickly! How dare you act wild!"
The jailers will not get used to these people. No matter how majestic you are outside, if you fall into their hands, you will be guilty.
"No! I won't leave until I see the emperor!"
"Huh? You dare to threaten me? Drag them all to the execution ground!"
"okay!"
"Damn! Let me go..."
Li Zhan and others were all handcuffed and shackled, and they were starved all night. They were no match for the jailer. Without exception, the four of them were all dragged away by the jailer like dogs being dragged to death.
"Brother Li, don't be afraid! We will do our best to redress your grievances and avenge you!"
Yang Weidou did not forget to encourage Li Zhan. If it were him, he would die generously.
"..."
But Li Zhan and the other four didn't think so. They didn't want to die, let alone be betrayed.
If they were given another chance to plead guilty, they would definitely admit it this time. As long as they didn't die, they would dare to admit the crime.
Facing what Yang Weidou said, Li Zhan was really in trouble and couldn't tell. If he had known now, why bother at the beginning? He was just trying to do something for his own sake, and he was really unjust!
What's the use of redressing our grievances instead of seeking revenge?
Can you come back from the dead?
Besides, I don’t want to die!
I still feel so reluctant to leave this colorful world!
"Don't make any noise! It's not your turn this time!"
The jailer had no good impression of these self-proclaimed "loyal and good" people. Except for these two ministers who were about to die, these sanctimonious guys deserved the most death.
"The emperor is stupid! Extremely incompetent! The court is violent! He kills loyal people! How can we turn a blind eye!"
Yang Weidou was so angry that he shouted loudly that after he went out, he would tell the scholars about this experience so that all the scholars in the world could clearly understand the face of Chongzhen and the imperial court.
At present, the Ming Dynasty is much darker than the Wanli and even the Tianqi years. There is no Wei eunuch in the world, but the dog emperor Chongzhen has the Wei eunuch style, which has caused great harm to the scholars and Zhongliang.
"How outrageous! As a prisoner, how can I criticize His Majesty and the imperial court? Do you want to eat the killing stick?"
The prison boss was also quite angry when he heard this. This man was really stubborn and unreasonable and deserved to be beaten.
"I am a loyal man, how can I be afraid of you threatening me?"
Yang Weidou was not afraid. Although his colleagues behind him kept pulling on his sleeves, hinting him to stop talking, he didn't care.
"Don't be acquainted with this Chai Ye. He is a loyal and kind man, and he is shameless. He is very unparalleled. If his skin is so strong that he breaks the stick, will Chai Ye have to pay for it?"
Peng Bin suddenly spoke kind words for Yang Weidou, but the meaning between the lines was already known to everyone.
"Yeah! That makes sense!"
The prison head smiled and nodded, then ignored Yang Weidou.
"Peng Bin! How dare you mock me like a thief! When I get out, I will fight you to the death!"
How could Yang Weidou not understand what the other party meant and immediately started shouting.
"It's unclear whether Brother Yang can go out. Even if he can go out, wouldn't he still have to redress the grievances of Li Zhan and others? By the way, Brother Yang also said that he wanted to avenge them. Could it be that he wanted to assassinate His Majesty? Brother Yang is domineering! I admire you until !”
Want to fight yourself?
Then let’s just stick with you until the end!
But before that, you should finish what you promised before.
"You fart! Peng Bin! I work openly and aboveboard, how can I be as insidious as you?"
Assassination of the emperor cannot be admitted easily, otherwise the whole family will be affected. Yang Weidou has not yet reached the point where he is so powerful that he becomes unconscious.
"Yes, yes! Brother Yang does things openly and aboveboard! I, the Ming Dynasty, am so loyal and loyal! I can also take revenge by organizing people to launch a rebellion!"
Anyway, Yang Weidou would not give up after fighting out, so Peng Bin simply stated all the possible methods he could take.
"Bitch thief! Don't even think about framing me again!"
"It must be a frame-up! Could it be that Brother Yang doesn't dare to admit it?"
"Fart! Full of lies! Total nonsense!"
When I met this guy, I was extremely unlucky.
"Peng Bin! If you betray Shilin, you will be despised by Shilin!"
Shen Shizhu didn't want to see Yang Weidou at a disadvantage again, so he spoke to help the battle.
"Shilin? Shilin? Are you all so 'loyal and good' like Brother Yang? Humph! You are clearly a group of unfaithful and unfilial hypocrites! I really can't reach this high, so I'll just thank you!"
Peng Bin has already thought of a way out, and of course he won't be afraid of losing his foothold.
Since I can't be a scholar in the future, the worst possible outcome is that I won't do it anymore!
