When the cinnabar pen falls, the road to hell opens.
The hair on the tip of the pen has touched the paper, and it is slightly bent under pressure. The small bright red dots spread out with ink, leaving only a movement of turning the wrist to draw out the pen.
"Your Majesty, Liu Changge, the commander of the Security Bureau, would like to see you."
The chamberlain came into the palace to announce.
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, the cinnabar pen hovering in his hand, he raised it slightly, looked at a little cinnabar red, put away the pen: "Let him in."
Liu Changge entered the hall and saluted.
Zhu Yunwen put the list aside and asked Liu Changge: "How is the handover going?"
Liu Changge returned to the capital, and Gu Sanshen asked for an order to make a concession, hoping that Liu Changge would regain control of the Security Bureau.
Zhu Yunwen did not approve it, but promoted Liu Changge to the rank of commanding officer, who assumed the power of acting commanding officer during Gu Sanshen's vacation.
After all, Liu Changge has been away from the capital for more than a year. If he wants to get familiar with the security bureau of the capital again and understand a series of information about personnel, strongholds, intelligence, officials, etc., it will not be possible for more than a month.
"It went very smoothly." Liu Changge was a little nervous: "I came into the palace today to report something."
"speak."
Zhu Yunwen was very calm.
"Zhu Youyi killed someone."
Liu Changge glanced at the somewhat surprised Zhu Yunwen uneasily, and quickly explained: "The security bureau has limited cells, so it had to arrange some Yin soldiers to Zhu Youyi's cell. For some reason, Zhu Youyi suddenly broke out and injured people, killing a Yin soldier. Soldiers."
It was hard for Zhu Yunwen to imagine that a dandy vassal king actually beat someone to death with his own hands.
Did a Yin soldier die?
These Yin soldiers are about to be beheaded. Although there is no difference in the result between being beaten to death and being hacked to death, in fact it is not the case. The execution of Yin soldiers requires the court to take action. Zhu Youyi is now a prisoner, so he must It is not his turn to kill.
In a word, Zhu Youyou is a dog who takes out a mouse and takes over his place.
"Let's go to the Security Bureau headquarters."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the list of candidates on the table, put Ming Shuangxi away, then walked out of Wuying Hall and walked to Xi'anmenwai Street.
Although there is a cold wind blowing from time to time, it can't stop the excitement of the capital.
Martial arts competitions, gambling houses, and the arrest of the White Lotus Sect have become the talk of the capital after dinner. People are looking for relatives and friends. People walking together can be seen everywhere, and every restaurant passing by is filled with cheers.
Cars and BMWs are passing by in droves.
Zhu Yunwen experienced the atmosphere of civilian life, and his originally depressed mood improved a lot. After entering the Security Bureau headquarters, he summoned Gu Sanshen, Xue Xia and others to inquire about the pursuit of Gujin and the White Lotus Sect.
Gu Sanshen took out an unfinished document and said: "The family behind Gujin has basically been brought under control. According to the emperor's instructions, the matter was not expanded and the family was interrogated on the spot without disturbing the family. Now it has been explained Only three families near the capital have been found guilty and have checked the information. News has not been sent back to other places. As for the other bandit leaders of the White Lotus Sect, the list has been sent to the local security bureau branch and the chief envoy's office. I believe it will not take too long. Come with news.”
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly. Considering that the head of the Buddha Mother had been hung up and the news had already begun to spread, he warned: "Be sure to act quickly."
"According to the order."
Gu Sanshen and others agreed.
"Let Zhu Youxuan come over. You should be busy, so you don't have to wait here."
Zhu Yunwen picked up the tea bowl and waited quietly.
Zhu Youyi became more and more haggard. He was originally a good-spirited young man. After sinking, indulging, and being imprisoned, he has now become a beggar. His clothes are in tatters, his body still exudes a stench, and there are wounds on his face. There are still some bruises on it.
Zhu Yunwen suppressed the unpleasant smell and scolded Zhu Youxuan: "You still don't know how to repent when you stay in the Security Bureau, and you dare to kill people. Do you really think that I don't dare to deal with you?"
Zhu Youyi was a little numb and didn't have the slightest fear: "They said that Mo'er was a Yin soldier, and they said that he would be executed soon, so he deserves to die!"
Snapped!
Zhu Yunwen grabbed the tea bowl and threw it towards Zhu Youyi. The teacup hit Zhu Youyi's feet and broke into pieces. He shouted: "Mo'er, it's Mo'er again. She is a Yin soldier and a saint of the White Lotus Sect. Now the White Lotus Sect The Buddha Mother is dead, and the Yin soldiers are also going to die. Isn’t it right for her to be executed? Let me tell you, Bai Lianmoer has been on the list of candidates, and I have also been selected. Do you want to fight me to death?!"
Zhu Youyi's body swayed, his eyes looked helplessly at Zhu Yunwen, and he knelt down suddenly, his legs pressed heavily on the broken ceramic pieces, piercing the not-so-thick cotton pants, and blood slowly seeped out.
"Your Majesty, please, please let Mo'er go. As long as you let her live and let me die, I am willing too!"
Zhu Youyi begged.
Zhu Yunwen was very angry: "You are a descendant of Taizu, do you still have any backbone? You are so groveling and reckless for a woman. You want to die for her, why don't you say you will accompany her on the road!"
Zhu Youhuan clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Then please grant your permission and let me go to hell with Mo'er!"
Zhu Yunwen stood up angrily, walked up to Zhu Youhuan, and kicked him to the ground: "You want to die, right? I'll help you! Bring me the list of candidates!"
Shuangxi quickly sent the list of candidates.
Zhu Yunwen took a pen and didn't care about the cinnabar and black ink. In front of Zhu Youxuan, he directly put a check mark behind Bai Lianmo'er's name, and then wrote Zhu Youxuan's name. After checking it, he threw it away. Putting down the brush: "Now, are you satisfied?"
Zhu Youyi looked at the list of candidates, laughed, and knelt down solemnly towards the angry Zhu Yunqi: "I, Zhu Youyi, thank you for your kindness!"
Facing the infatuated and unyielding Zhu Youyi, Zhu Yunwen had no way to make him give in. He seemed to have his mind set on a woman, and for that woman, he was really willing to give up his life.
What else can be done to a person who is not even afraid of death?
Gu Sanshen and Liu Changge looked at the list and looked at each other, a little at a loss.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, the emperor's list was drawn with a cinnabar pen, and it would only take effect after the cinnabar pen was drawn. He would drag people out with the list, verify their identity, and drag them out to behead them.
But now it's a black pen decision. Is this effective or not?
Let's just say it's effective, it's against the rules.
It doesn't work, it's because the emperor personally hooked it.
This embarrassed the two of them.
The two of them didn't dare to ask now, for fear that Zhu Yunwen would add a few more names to the list in anger. Anyway, Gou was definitely not going to make a decisive decision. They had to leave it for a few days and ask another day.
The reasons for staying a few days are as follows:
The first is to verify whether the local intelligence and lists provided by the White Lotus Sect, Gujin and other forces are accurate. Don't kill them here. If they don't match the numbers there, there will be no one to confess to them later.
Second, you need to maintain awe of death. If you have relatives, arrange a meeting with them. If there is really no one to see you off, the court must buy some wine and meat in advance, prepare four dishes and one soup, and let them eat before they go on their way.
Zhu Yunwen ordered Zhu Youyi to be pulled down, and pointed to the hook list: "When the news is confirmed, hand over these people to the Ministry of Punishment for execution, and post a notice to let the people of the world know that the White Lotus Cult created the Qingzhou Rebellion and killed countless people. Thousands of people will die unjustly because they once again spread the word that the White Lotus Sect is a cult and those involved will die."
"Your Majesty, are you just talking about the White Lotus Sect?"
Liu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "The Yin soldiers incident is a continuation of Hong Wu's unjust case. It is enough for a few people to know about this kind of thing. It is better not to spread it among the people. Use the Yin soldiers as Bai Lian and kill them all to deter Xiaoxiao."
Liu Changge felt a little pity for Wang Guangsheng, Mang Zhong, Han Jian and others. After years of turmoil, they were still included in the ranks of the White Lotus Sect. This cause of turmoil was too secretive, which was not a good thing. I'm afraid it's impossible to leave a mark in history.
"Take Bai Lianmo'er." Zhu Yunwen looked at the broken ceramics and blood stains on the ground, and there was still some unpleasant smell in the air, so he changed his mind: "Forget it, I'll go out for a walk."
When Bai Lianmoer heard the movement outside the door, she quickly wiped her mouth and put a pile of quilts inside the box. After covering it, she opened the window and let the cold wind blow in.
The door was pushed open, but no one came in.
Bai Lianmo'er was sitting at the table and couldn't help but look over and saw Zhu Yunwen standing at the door, looking at her.
"I promised you that I would watch their heads fall to the ground. Now is the time."
Zhu Yunwen stepped in, followed by Liu Changge.
Mo'er stood up, saluted Zhu Yunwen, and said calmly: "Commander Gu Shi has brought the head of the Buddha Mother to me. The bandit leaders of the White Lotus Sect were rounded up by the Security Bureau, and the young master was also captured. My wish is basically fulfilled. Even if I go to the execution ground right now, I can die with a smile on my face. However, before that, I have one more request."
Zhu Yunwen felt that the air was a little turbid and could not help but frown slightly and said: "Because of you, the Security Bureau was able to deal with the Yin soldiers, capture the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, and capture the young master Li Qi in a short period of time. Logically speaking, you have made meritorious service to the court."
"But every time I think of the people and soldiers who died in Qingzhou, I can't forgive you. The merits and demerits are hard to overcome. I feel guilty if you kill me. I came to see you today, firstly to send you on your way, and secondly to give you a reasonable The request can be regarded as making up for you."
Mo'er heard this and knelt down: "My little girl's hands are stained with blood. It is not a pity to die. I have only one wish. I beg the emperor to forgive Zhu Youhuo's sins, even if he is allowed to become an ordinary citizen."
Zhu Yunwen sat down and stared at Mo'er: "You still don't know what Zhu Youxuan has done for you. In order to force me to give in, he actually kidnapped officials in the Zongren Mansion!"
"ah?"
"I imprisoned him here for reflection, but he killed the Yin soldiers because they said you deserved to die!"
"this……"
"Before coming here, I spoke to him and hoped that he would repent. As long as he draws a clear line with you, it is not impossible to let him leave. But he would rather go to the execution ground with you than live an ignoble existence. I have agreed I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to your request."
"I……"
Bai Lianmoer couldn't accept so much news for a while. It turned out that Zhu Youxuan was here, and he had already shared life and death for himself.
Zhu Yunwen stood up and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
Mo'er collapsed on the ground and said: "If the emperor cannot save him from death, then let me meet him again on the execution ground."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Mo'er deeply, said nothing, stood up and prepared to leave.
Mo'er looked at Zhu Yunwen's back and suddenly asked: "How many days do I have to live?"
Zhu Yunwen turned around and replied briefly: "Ten days."
Mo'er stood up and walked towards Zhu Yunwen. Liu Changge stopped Mo'er sideways. Mo'er just looked at Zhu Yunwen and said softly, "If I can't die in ten days, can the emperor release Zhu Youxian?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Mo'er calmly and asked, "Are you betting against me?"
"It's a request."
Mo'er burst into tears.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Mo'er who was begging weakly, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I have received your request. In the ten days, if you can make me change my mind and check the list again, I will release Zhu Youxuan. If not, you guys Die together."
Mo'er knelt down again, kowtowed a few times, then looked at Zhu Yunwen and said softly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Now please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to release Zhu Youxuan."
