"Old minister, I have met your three highnesses." Seeing the three brothers of the Zhu family coming together, Ru Taisu cheered up and gave a salute. Zhu Di smiled at Ru Taisu and said, "Why, Ru Yushi."
"You...can't help that female bandit?"
"..." Ru Taisu was speechless for a moment. Turning to Chen Hui in prison, he made a last-ditch effort and said, "Ms. Chen, if you tell the truth, you will still have a lifetime of wealth."
"My Ming Dynasty won the world because of destiny. Now that the nine states are unified, why do we have to let all living beings suffer again?"
"Your brother, Chen Li, has been treated kindly by our Ming Dynasty without losing his status as a lord. If you are so stubborn, are you going to risk your brother's life as well?"
Zhu Su was speechless. This so-called "interrogation" by Ru Taisu turned out to be based on emotion and reason.
This Chen Huidu personally robbed people, set them on fire, and became a dead soldier. Ru Taisu said this to this woman, and it would be a ghost if it had an effect.
As expected, Chen Hui didn't even raise his face, lowered his head to drink tea and was content with himself, and regarded Ru Taisu, who was still chattering away, as air.
"This woman!" Zhu Ming was angry. Zhu Di also said to Zhu Su: "This old man is confronting our brothers, jumping and impeaching at the same time."
"Facing this outsider, I have become softer."
Zhu Su was also speechless. These literati are indeed a bit rigid. What kind of benevolence, justice and morality can we talk about when dealing with this kind of enemy? Just do whatever it takes. The tea and courtesy only made the other party more arrogant.
Confucius once said, "Repay evil with kindness, why repay kindness with kindness?"
"Old Rutou, let me do it instead." Zhu Su said to Ru Taisu. "You are old and have been busy all night tonight, so you should go and rest."
"Your Highness Fifth?" Ru Taisu hesitated. Although he didn't deal with His Highness at first, he had to admit Zhu Su's intelligence. His Highness had done a better job than him in "raising food" before. Now there is enough food in the preparation warehouse, which is not only enough for the victims to live through the disaster year safely, but also to keep the victims in the west of the city well fed.
"Are you worried that I will cheat on this woman?" Zhu Su said with a smile.
"Your Highness, a nobleman of the Tian family, naturally wouldn't be like this." Ru Taisu quickly denied it. He wanted to insist a little longer, but the matter was so important and he was really at his wits end now. After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "Then, let's talk about it." To Your Highness."
"It's just that your Highness must remember that this woman is of high status and has important connections. She will be escorted to the capital to be punished by His Majesty."
"You must not hurt this girl."
Maybe, His Highness really has some way to pry open this woman's mouth.
"I know, I know." Zhu Su quickly sent Ru Taisu away. This old man, saying this in front of Chen Hui, doesn't make Chen Hui more confident?
After finally getting rid of Ru Taisu, Zhu Su directly moved a chair and sat down in front of Chen Hui's cell door: "What a princess Chen Hui of Chen Han, you are drinking tea here leisurely, don't you hear To those screams coming from the front?"
Chen Hui's hand holding the tea froze. Zhu Su smiled coldly and continued:
"Do you know who made that sound?"
"It's those subordinates of yours. The subordinates are suffering a lot at the front, but you, Chen Hui, are sitting here drinking tea."
"Princess Chen Han, she is really majestic and magnanimous."
"Why are you telling me this?" Chen Hui just hesitated for a moment, then continued to pick up the tea cup pretending not to care. "Do you want to torture me the same way you tortured my subordinates?"
"Is there any way I can do it? It's just one thing. If I can't bear the torture, I will definitely bite my tongue and kill myself."
"At that time, you, Emperor Zhu Ming, will not be able to take me as a prisoner and show off your power."
As expected, this guy became more and more emboldened by Ru Taisu's words. Zhu Su secretly held his forehead. However, through the test just now, Zhu Su also understood one thing, that is, this Chen Hui actually still cares about his subordinates.
This actually surprised Zhu Su, because he originally thought that Chen Huilian's eyes showed no emotion when he saw Zhang Ren's head. He was most likely a cold-blooded lunatic who only aspired to greatness.
Unexpectedly, she had more compassion for her subordinates than for the person next to her.
"I will not torture you. After all, I am not an evil ghost." Zhu Su smiled evilly. I already have a solution in mind. "Not only will I not torture you, on the contrary, I will also allow you to have a good communication with the 'loyal ministers and righteous men' under my command..."
"What... do you want to do?" Perhaps because Zhu Su's tone was too evil, Chen Hui frowned warily.
"Second brother, please go and inform Brother Chang." Zhu Su turned to Zhu Xi and said. "Let's just say that Chen Hui, the daughter of Chen Youliang, cares about his subordinates. Let him bring over all the 'loyal ministers and righteous men' of her Chen family."
"Lao Wu, you..." Zhu Xi was a little confused, but after seeing the look in Zhu Su's eyes, he still acted as he was told.
After a while, Chang Mao and a group of soldiers escorted all the dead soldiers over. When the dead soldiers saw Chen Hui being imprisoned, they all became energetic.
"Princess! Are you okay, Princess?"
"Princess, do the children of the Zhu family dare to humiliate you?"
"Princess! Don't worry, even if I die, I won't say a word!"
Over there, Zhu Xi and Chang Mao even kicked a prisoner in the leg: "Be honest! What are you talking about?"
"Little thief, do you want to humiliate me in front of my subordinates?" Chen Hui's eyes were cold. She protected her chest and collar, and looked at Zhu Su with eyes that wanted to devour him. "You underestimated me. Even if I am so humiliated, I will not say another word!"
"I will bite my tongue and kill myself before being humiliated!"
Zhu Su's face darkened, and he said it as if he was about to start performing "Princess Chen Han is not miserable" at the next moment. He glanced at Chen Hui with disgust: "With your appearance, you actually think that this king covets you?"
"How many years older are you than this king? You still want old cows to eat young grass, are you worthy of that?"
"He actually covets my innocence... I am so upright and noble, how can I have an affair with a dirty-minded female thief like you!"
"What a beautiful thought!"
"Besides, biting your tongue won't kill you, idiot."
"you……"
Zhu Su ridiculed Chen Hui, which made Chen Hui's face turn red and she was ashamed and angry. She has always relied on her beauty and intelligence. Even after Chen Youliang's death, when she was wandering around the world, she could always defeat someone with her beauty and intelligence.
Later, she used her beauty to control Zhang Renru's puppet. The members of the Zhang family are nothing more than props in his palm.
Today, Chen Huiden felt extremely humiliated and humiliated by someone who thought he was ugly and stupid.
Seeing that her guard was down, Zhu Su knew that the time had come and turned around and ordered: "Brother Chang, please shut the mouths of all these noisy thieves."
"Since they don't want to talk, their mouths are useless. Although I am gracious and allow them to communicate with each other, eye contact is enough."
"Time waits for no one, let's interrogate those thieves here. While they are communicating, we will interrogate them at the same time, without delay."
"Lao Wu, if you have blocked their mouths, why should we interrogate them?" Zhu Fang was puzzled, and Chang Mao also looked puzzled.
"You can interrogate them as you should. Their mouths are blocked. Isn't this Princess Chen Hui's mouth still fine?" Zhu Su said with a smile, but that smile turned out to be more and more evil. "They won't tell you anyway, so it's better to just recycle it."
"If you don't say anything for a moment, you'll have one arm chopped off. If you don't say anything for four moments, you'll have both hands and feet chopped off."
"If all the hands and feet are chopped off, then just behead them. Anyway, there are still more than ten people here, enough for us to behead them until dawn."
"Are you right? Princess Chen Hui?"
Zhu Su looked at Chen Hui.
"you you……"
"You are an evil ghost! You are indeed an evil ghost!"
Chen Hui had already guessed Zhu Su's true intention. She shuddered and complained in a hissing voice.
"Evil ghost? How could I be this king?"
Zhu Su smiled innocently.
"I have said that I will not torture you, so I will never touch a hair on your head, Chen Hui."
"I just want you to take a good look at these 'loyal and brave men' of your Chen family, the last 'loyal and brave'."
"If you really want to talk about evil spirits, you, Chen Hui, are the best. Because..." Zhu Su suddenly glared and shouted loudly:
"They all died because of you! It was you! It was you, Chen Hui, who personally pushed all of them into the endless abyss!"
