"So fast?" Zhu Di was stunned.
Zhu Su was also a little surprised. According to his estimation, Chen Hui should have killed four or five dead men before he could no longer bear the suffering in his heart. But since she is willing to recruit earlier, that is also a good thing. The three brothers walked into the dungeon again.
Chen Hui has been moved to a clean prison, with the same tables and chairs, and the same cup of tea. But Chen Hui can no longer sit on the chair and drink tea as he did just now. She was squatting in the corner like a puddle of mud, her face was pale, but her eyes were blood red, and her wet and messy hair had long lost the meticulousness she had shown before. He is completely different from the Chen Hui who was able to handle Ru Taisu with ease just now.
"It would have been better if I had given up earlier. No, several lives have been wasted because of you."
Not to be defeated in terms of momentum, Zhu Su walked into the prison with his two brothers and Chang Mao with his hands behind his back, and opened his mouth to sneer at Chen Hui.
Chen Hui raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Su, but said nothing. Zhu Su ignored her and asked Zhu Xi, Zhu Di and Chang Mao to sit down first, then he pulled up a chair and sat down, deliberately tapping Erlang's legs: "Say it."
"How did you Zhang Chen remnants get together?"
Perhaps the word "remnants" touched Chen Hui's nerves. She raised her head and glared at Zhu Su, but soon she remembered the death of those dead soldiers, and lowered her head in dismay.
"I was engaged to Zhang Ren. I was hiding out of town. I heard that Zhang Shicheng had arranged a way out for him and Zhang Li before his death. I thought he still had some power, so I sent someone to look for him..."
"That's it." Zhu Su, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di looked at each other. "So, are there any other remnants of you, Zhang Chen, lurking in this Suzhou mansion?"
"No more." Chen Hui shook his head dejectedly. "Those people from the Zhang family followed Zhang Ren to burn the reserve warehouse. But my Chen family is weak, so they were all captured by the river..."
As she spoke, she seemed unable to suppress the doubts in her heart, and took the initiative to say: "Zhu Su, what evil method did you use?"
"In just a few days, I haven't seen you quarrying in the mountains. How could you build such a building that is made entirely of stone and cannot be burned!"
"Oh, my Ming Dynasty's destiny is the Zhengshuo of China."
"Since God has recognized it, why is it so strange that God wants to teach you to wait until your success falls short?"
Of course Zhu Su would not tell Chen Hui about the cement. Things that are beyond a person's common sense can better cause psychological pressure on them. Besides, Chen Hui wanted to take risks and assassinate her, so why should I answer her questions?
Seeing Zhu Su's normal expression, Chen Hui's expression became even more depressed. In her opinion, it would be impossible to build a three-story stone building in less than a month.
Could it be that some gods really helped me, and when I burned down the building, I turned the wooden building into a stone building...
Zhu Ming is blessed by the gods, so doesn't it mean that his father's Chen Han is really exhausted?
"Since there is no one else, what do you really rely on?" Zhu Su continued to ask.
"There is nothing to rely on..." Chen Hui smiled bitterly. "It's just these people, you've all beaten them down."
"How dare you fool us!" Zhu Di next to him slammed the table.
"Your fathers were once the heroes who took advantage of the situation and gathered together to roar."
"You are not just an ordinary idiot in the mountains, but you should have some knowledge. How can you not see that people are so determined today that a flood alone can't accomplish anything big?"
"Why not?" Chen Hui turned to Zhu Di and said, "How did Meng Yuan lose his country? Isn't it precisely because of the saying 'One eye of a stone man can stir up rebellion in the Yellow River world'?"
"I just regret that we can't afford floods this year. If Taihu Lake continues to flood, in the blink of an eye, we can raise another army of tens of thousands of people..."
"I thought that even though you are a woman, you also have some courage. I didn't expect that you would express such a woman's opinions." Zhu Di sneered and scoffed.
"In the BC Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Lord was fatuous and greedy for pleasure, and he always treated the people like dogs and sheep without any sympathy. Finally, there was the so-called 'world rebellion'. How could it be wiped out by a mere natural disaster?"
"In the final analysis, it is still a man-made disaster. If the leader of the Yuan Dynasty had shown concern for the people's sentiments in time and worked hard to govern, how could there have been disasters caused by all the heroes behind?"
"But I, the Ming Dynasty, are different. My father is wise and powerful, and he is responsible for the destiny of heaven and the people. How can he be compared to those alien Hu Lords from the Meng Yuan Dynasty?"
"Even if there is a major disaster in Taihu Lake this year, it will be nothing more than a disease to my Ming Dynasty. How can you have the chance to surf the waves!"
Zhu Su nodded secretly. Although the fourth brother was uneducated and incompetent when he was in the main hall, he still understood in his heart the most basic "emperor's way" of "the safety of the people means the safety of the country."
During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty fought in the north and south, which should have consumed a lot of national power. However, later generations' evaluation of people's livelihood during the Yongle period was "fair". Thinking about it, it was also because he had such insight.
Although, in fact, Zhu Di at that time was just a "general who conquered the north"...
Over there, Chen Hui's face turned pale again. Although he is unwilling to admit that Emperor Zhu Ming was "wise, powerful, and committed to heaven," it is undeniable that the people's minds are indeed no longer as good as those of the previous dynasty.
"Do you still want to be secretive?" Zhu Su took over Zhu Di's words. "You must also know that you people alone can never achieve anything!"
"Speak quickly! What are you relying on!"
"Why can't it be done?" Chen Hui looked pale, but still quibbled. "Now your name is in trouble both in the north and south, and there is chaos in the court. Is there any better chance of success than now?"
If it had been before, Zhu Su would have believed her statement. This was also the reason for his original guess: the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Northern Expedition, Yunnan and the Western Barbarians were not at peace, and there was chaos in the DPRK because of the ban, which triggered the Suzhou Rebellion that was unprecedented in history.
But since Ru Taisu heard the word "big army" from Zhang Ren, how could he believe Chen Hui's excuses?
These people must have other people to rely on!
"If you keep hiding it, aren't you afraid that I will continue to kill people?" Zhu Su said fiercely. "Tell me! What is going on with the so-called army!"
"Kill! Even if I kill them all, I won't say a word!" Chen Hui's eyes showed madness at this moment. "They are the dead soldiers of my Chen family. Today they are going to die. That is benevolence and benevolence will be rewarded!"
"It's just that at that time... I wanted all of you, Prince Zhu Ming, to be buried with you in Suzhou Mansion!"
Looking at Chen Hui who looked crazy, Zhu Su secretly cried out in his heart.
What I was most worried about actually happened.
This Chen Hui turned out to be a truly ruthless character! He deliberately expressed his willingness to confess just to take a breather.
If she really no longer cares about the life and death of those dead soldiers, she will no longer have anything that can restrain her. I'm afraid this clue will be broken in a short time!
