Zhu Di laughed angrily at this guy, but he didn't seriously chop him down. Yang Lu thought that Zhu Laosi was cowarded, so he changed his tone to a preaching tone: "Speaking of which, although the three highnesses have noble status, they have no actual duties."
"This is not the capital. Every move of Your Highness represents the majesty of the royal family. If you act recklessly in Suzhou, it is His Majesty's face that will be damaged."
"Although a certain life is as light as a feather, if it makes all officials in the government and the public feel sad, even if your majesty loves his son, he still has to give an explanation to the courtiers, right? By then, Fengyang High Wall will definitely not be able to escape!"
"What a sharp tongue and clever words." Zhu Su stopped his second brother Zhu Xi, who impulsively stepped forward, and knocked the handle of the fan in the palm of his hand: "In front of foreign enemies, you have left your post without any reason and your whereabouts are secretive. I want to interrogate you. What do you think of this reason?"
"The last general is commanded by a guard. To be honest, he is the highest-ranking military general in Suzhou City, fully responsible for the task of defending the city. Even if there is to be a trial, the governor's office should issue a document to open the court. Although the three royal highnesses are princes of the imperial court, But he has no right to investigate and torture!" Yang Lu already wanted an excuse.
"If you want to judge the final general, please go to the Governor's Office and ask for the documents!"
"You guy..." Zhu Di became even more angry. The Governor's Mansion is far away in the capital, and this guy is obviously acting rogue by asking them to produce documents from the Governor's Mansion. After all, he was only in his teens, and he had been taught to "obey the rules" on weekdays, and because he was afraid of being alienated by Lao Zhu, he actually started to act against him at this time.
"Please ask for a document, right?" Zhu Su jumped off the horse. "So, without the documents from the Governor's Office, Commander Yang would never say anything about why you returned to the government secretly today and why you hid in the well?"
"There is a reason why...he did what he did." Yang Lu turned his head and held his neck, ready to go rogue to the end. Although Zhu Su and others are noble, they are young and have no real power. Rather than risking his own life if the contents of the letter were known, it would be better for him to bite the bullet and resist these three young princes now, and then find an opportunity to leave far away.
The lesser of two evils…
"Lao Wu, this... are you really going to invite the Governor's Mansion..." Seeing that Yang Lu looked like he would rather die than surrender, Zhu Di felt a little embarrassed. Now he really doesn't dare to violate the national laws set by Lao Zhu, for fear that Lao Zhu will have some trouble with him in his heart. Zhu Su glanced at him, frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? We don't have that time to waste time with him."
"come."
Several soldiers bowed their hands and obeyed the order. Zhu Su raised his chin and nodded at Yang Lu: "Find two chairs for me and my two brothers, and then find two fire and water sticks. If you can't kill them, then fight them." ~"
"Torture to extract a confession. Find us some cups of tea. He will be beaten while I drink tea. I will be spending time with him here today."
Zhu Su smiled extremely evilly.
"Ah?" Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were both stunned.
"Your Highness, you can't hit me. I am a military attaché of the third rank, and I must first prove my innocence before I can impose punishment... Are you going to risk the disapproval of the world?" Yang Lu shouted.
"Why, you want to threaten me with the Fengyang High Wall?" Zhu Su leaned on a chair brought by Gou'er and raised Erlang's legs. "Come on, go and sue. If you can really get me into Fengyang High Wall, I will give you a big red envelope!"
He had learned about it since he was a child. Although it is prepared for sinners, Lao Zhu is still worried that future generations will not have good food and accommodation in the high wall. Therefore, the facilities in Fengyang High Wall are complete. He can spend his free time raising flowers and playing with birds. He can even invite The troupe comes in to sing and listen to the opera. What's so scary about this kind of lying down life? He is not one of those ambitious princes of the Zhu family!
"This... Your Highness! Does Your Highness want to be beaten into submission? Your Highness also studied Confucianism in the palace. You should know that only benevolence can convince others..."
"The general will definitely not be convinced!" Yang Lu was a little panicked. He saw that there were real guards who had found the two water and fire sticks that he used to teach his slaves at home. Then he was killed by several guards who looked like wolves and tigers. Pressed to the ground. The stick is made of iron wood. If you hit it a few times, you will definitely be in agony...
"This is easy to handle." Zhu Su called Zhu Di and Zhu Xi to come and sit down, and then took a leisurely sip of tea soup. "Then I will give these two sticks names. The one on the left will be named 'Ren', and the one on the right will be named 'De'. Benevolence and virtue convince people, so you, Yang Lu, will be convinced, right?"
"Gah?" Yang Lu was stunned.
"This...is this okay?" Zhu Xi felt that his horizons had been opened. Can "convincing people with benevolence" be used in this way? "Lao Wu, you...you are so...what a talent!" He said and gave Zhu Su a thumbs up.
But he himself was also happy, and laughed and said: "The old masters hired by my father often taught me to convince people with virtue. This explanation is good, and it is more interesting than your previous 'whispering'! I will use this method to deal with those people later." Go, old master."
"Lao Wu, you..." Zhu Di also couldn't laugh or cry. "I thought you and the third child were the most reasonable among our brothers!"
"But it's really enjoyable to do this." He said and looked at Yang Lu. "You want to press him for the details of secretly communicating with thieves outside the city, so that you can use his plan, right?"
"However, what if this Yang Lu is a tough guy..." Zhu Di was a little worried. After all, secretly communicating with bandits is a capital crime, and the punishment of the rod is nothing more than physical pain.
As long as Yang Lu understands the importance, he will definitely choose to grit his teeth and bear it...
"Don't worry, he's not." Zhu Su snorted disdainfully. This is the truth, but how many people can survive the punishment? Not to mention that Yang Lu died because of his father's meritorious service, and his eldest sister entered the palace and became a concubine. She was pampered and pampered since she was a child, and she never suffered much at all...
Moreover, a general who is inexplicably afraid of the enemy and does not dare to fight because of some minor setbacks will be a tough guy?
What's more, Yang Lu was also the commander of the First Guard after all. He was so careful to conceal the letters from the thieves outside the city, so he must have been given some leverage.
As for what the handle is, Zhu Su has already guessed a bit...
He was right. At the beginning, Yang Lu did clarify the stakes and made up his mind to bite the bullet.
Between physical pain and a good life, it is natural to choose life.
But when the two big sticks named "Benevolence" and "De" hit him, the pain that almost shattered his buttocks still exceeded Yang Lu's psychological expectations. A scream of "ouch" was heart-wrenching.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! I recruited Your Highness!" After more than ten strikes, Yang Lu had long lost his bluffing look: He felt that he was going to die now. Rather than being beaten to death in pain now, it would be better to live longer. How many moments is how many moments...
With tears and runny noses, I begged Zhu Su to stop "persuading". His whole body felt like mud, and there was even a puddle of water stains on the ground.
"Look." Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Di.
