"That's right...it's not impossible." Zhu Su also felt that what Zhu Xi said was reasonable. The left and right were idle now, so the three brothers set off and headed straight to the government dungeon.
The dungeon in Suzhou Mansion is called a dungeon, but it is really built in a dark and cold underground. It is said that it was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is unknown how many innocent souls were killed in this prison. Zhu Su had just walked down the steep stairs to the ground. The cold breath mixed with sudden screams made him shiver in excitement.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di still looked as usual. Zhu Di even teased him: "Don't be afraid, Old Five. It's just some movement during the interrogation."
Zhu Su rolled his eyes. The atmosphere in this place was so gloomy. What was wrong with having a cold war?
Under the guidance of a nodding and bowing jailer, the three Zhu brothers successfully saw Chang Mao's back. I saw Chang Mao sitting on a chair. In front of him, a Chang family guard picked up a red-hot iron from the stove and branded it directly on the thigh of a soldier who had been tortured to death with a grin.
The dead man immediately screamed loudly, and soon passed out from pain.
Chang Mao's expression remained unchanged. He sat on the chair with his legs spread wide and his armor half unbuttoned. He was even tearing a piece of chicken leg.
Smelling the scent of human flesh or chicken legs in the dungeon, Zhu Su almost felt sick.
"My lord, the three highnesses are here to look for you." The jailer approached Chang Mao and said.
"I have met His Highness the King of Qin and His Highness the King of Jin!"
Chang Mao was startled and turned his head. He was already familiar with Zhu Su, so he first bowed his hands to Zhu Xi and Zhu Di, and paid homage in a loud voice. Zhu Su said with a smile: "Brother Chang, these two are my second and third brothers. We can't be closer to my eldest brother."
"You don't have to be angry with them."
Chang Mao is a die-hard loyalist of Zhu Biao. He pointed out the closeness between Zhu Di and Zhu Biao and also told Chang Mao not to be wary of them.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di nodded to Chang Mao together. Chang Mao understood what Zhu Su meant. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a naive smile: "It's really a shame to follow that style. Then let's stop sticking to those vulgar etiquette."
"This is best." Zhu Su agreed on behalf of his two brothers with a smile. Zhu Di asked: "Mr. Chang Guo, we brothers are worried about the rebellion."
"What clues did the trial come up with?"
"...Sigh." When he said this, Chang Mao sighed. "Moti Moti. The trial made us feel angry."
"These dead soldiers are so ignorant that they don't know anything about the so-called army. At first, we thought they were being tough, but we didn't expect that even if they were beaten to death, they would beg grandpa to sue grandma. Even when I got up, I still didn’t spit out any birds.”
"Either these two thieves can't actually pee in a pot. Or the thieves who knew about it committed suicide long ago before we caught them."
Zhu Su, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di looked at each other in confusion. Zhu Xi asked curiously: "Isn't there another Chen Hui?"
"This female gangster is sleeping with Zhang Ren, she must know it!"
"Chen Hui..." Chang Mao's expression became even weirder. "This woman... doesn't want us to come to trial."
"Don't want you to interrogate him?" Zhu Su was startled. What type of situation is this?
"...As soon as I got off the dungeon, I was taken away by the Bird Censor." Chang Mao pursed his lips toward the depths of the dungeon. "He said that the woman was not an ordinary person and could not be tortured at will. He thought we were not gentle enough and killed her by accident."
"He's going to judge him, but he can't find anything out. If he turns around, he'll make a mistake, but..."
Looking at Chang Mao with an angry expression. Zhu Su could understand what Ru Taisu was worried about.
No matter what, Chen Hui is also the daughter of Chen Youliang, and Chen Youliang once competed with Lao Zhu for the world. From a certain perspective, his daughter cannot be insulted lightly.
Lao Zhu even tolerated Chen Youliang's son and made him a Marquis of Guide. For what reason? Don't I just want to prove that my Ming Dynasty is the righteous one of the Celestial Empire, open to all rivers, and can accept even the sons of former enemies with all my heart. Those who obey my Ming Dynasty do not need to worry about their lives. I, the Ming Dynasty, will allow you to live a prosperous life...
In this way, many generals are willing to surrender, and even set an example for Yunnan, Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty and other forces that have not yet been pacified.
If Chen Hui is accidentally interrogated to death, at least it will slap Lao Zhu in the face, and everyone in the world will think that Lao Zhu can't even tolerate the orphan daughter of his deceased opponent, and at worst, it will shake the "benevolence" of the Ming Dynasty. Famous influence on the prosperity of Ming Dynasty's cultural governance...
Although Zhu Su feels that Lao Zhu, who is more pragmatic, may not care about this, but civil servants like Ru Taisu do!
Moreover, if Chang Mao, a powerful and powerful man, was asked to interrogate Chen Hui, a female gangster, Ru Taisu might also be worried that something bad would happen...
"Brother Chang, don't be angry. Old Man Ru is smelly and tough, and he often impeaches you. It's not like you don't know." Zhu Su comforted Chang Mao.
"Back then, I was targeted by him for no apparent reason. I got into trouble for nothing by arguing with him."
"They civil servants just have a lot of twists and turns. Let me go to Old Man Ru's place to have a look."
"If he can't be judged, I will judge him personally."
"Okay." Chang Mao nodded simply. "Then let's continue interrogating these dead birds."
"If you ask more questions, you can still squeeze out some new things if you don't keep it all."
The three of them said goodbye to Chang Mao and went to Chen Hui's cell. On the way, Zhu Feng was eager to try: "Lao Wu, why don't you leave the task of interrogating Chen Hui to your second brother and me?"
"Second brother guarantees that the female gangster who will be tried will be like a bamboo tube pouring beans. She will even tell you clearly how many times she had sex with Zhang Renxing!"
Zhu Xi smiled cruelly, and Zhu Su knew that he was still resenting the fact that he was choked by Chen Hui just now. "Second brother, it's not like you haven't heard. Chen Hui can't be beaten easily."
"Besides, as princes, if we personally attack a weak woman, the price will be reduced for nothing."
Zhu Ping's face froze, as if he was angry. "A despicable woman dares to humiliate me, how can I give her an advantage?"
Zhu Su paused immediately. Turning his head and looking straight at Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi felt a little uncomfortable: "What...what's wrong, Lao Wu? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Second brother, you..." I wanted to ask why Zhu Di was so angry, but suddenly felt that the fourth brother Zhu Di next to him tugged at the hem of his clothes.
"...It's okay." Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Di. It was indeed not the time to question his brother at this time, so he decided to suppress his doubts for the time being. "Let's wait until Chen Hui is finished interrogating."
…
When he arrived at Chen Hui's cell, before he entered, he saw Ru Taisu, who had suffered a lot and had deep hatred, standing helplessly outside the cell door with a look of dejection.
On the contrary, Chen Hui's cell was equipped with tables and chairs, and even a cup of tea, making him feel quite relaxed. Comparing the two, Ru Taisu, who was sweating profusely, looked more like the one on trial.
"Lao Rutou?" Zhu Su was surprised. "How is this going?"
