Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen was analyzing the Northeast military strategy, and Liu Changge asked for an urgent meeting.
allow.
Liu Changge saluted, presented the ancient and modern tokens he found, and said loudly: "Princess Lin'an, Li Qi's eldest son Li Mao, and second son Li Fang have all been captured. They are outside the palace gate at this time. Please give me your permission."
Zhu Yunwen took the order, and the words "Gujin" came into view, and he couldn't help but stare: "Gujin Order, huh, so it means that Princess Lin'an also knows the existence of Gujin and is involved in Li Qi's affairs?"
Liu Changge did not dare to say decisively: "This matter still needs to be interrogated."
"Let Princess Lin'an come. As for Li Mao and Li Fang, send them to the Security Bureau for Li Qi to identify them and see if he can explain anything."
Zhu Yunwen still needs to meet his eldest aunt Zhu Jingjing. After all, they are all members of the old Zhu family.
Lin'an Princess Zhu Jingjing entered the palace, respectfully saluted Zhu Yunwen as a commoner.
Zhu Yunwen signaled Zhu Jingjing to stand up and walked out from behind the desk. Apart from the portrait, this was the first time Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Jingjing. The year before Zhu Yunwen was born, Zhu Jingjing had already married Li Qi. When Zhu Yunwen began to contact government affairs, Zhu Jingjing's family had already been assigned.
"Princess Lin'an, do you know why the Security Bureau is looking for you?"
Zhu Yunwen asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Jingjing was not a stupid person. Ever since he escaped from his place of distribution and hid in the mountains and forests, Zhu Jingjing knew that Li Qi was doing something that could not be known to outsiders.
At the beginning of the second year of Jianwen, when Li Qi left home, he once earnestly warned his family not to leave the mountains and forests. All supplies had to be purchased by the people of Zoucun.
Li Qi explained his funeral more than once.
But what Li Qi was doing, he never said.
Zhu Jingjing was silent and shook her head.
Zhu Yunwen picked up the ancient and modern token, handed it to Zhu Jingjing, and said sternly: "Since I came to the throne, there has always been a shadow that wants to murder me. And the deepest part of this shadow is ancient and modern. There is a word 'good' behind this token , it should mean 'Li Shanchang'. Li Qi possesses ancient and modern tokens, do you understand what this means?"
Zhu Jingjing's heart sank.
rebel? !
What Li Qi has always done is to rebel!
Zhu Yunwen looked at the silent Zhu Jingjing and took back the token: "You are the daughter of Taizu, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and my aunt. I don't think you will hurt me or the Ming Dynasty. But you are Li Qizhi after all. Wife, you cannot know anything about what he did. Cooperate with me and let Li Qi speak, and I will allow you, Li Mao and Li Fang to leave."
Zhu Jingjing looked up at Zhu Yunwen and asked, "What about Li Qi?"
Zhu Yunwen turned around and put his hands behind his back: "You should know, why bother asking. Liu Changge, take her away."
Liu Changge stretched out his hand and asked Zhu Jingjing to leave.
Zhu Jingjing looked at Zhu Yunwen deeply. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. After saluting, she quickly left.
Zhu Yunwen sighed secretly, Zhu Jingjing is a poor person, she has always been someone else's tool and pawn in her life.
At only sixteen years old, Zhu Jingjing married Li Qi and was Zhu Yuanzhang's tool to win over Li Shanchang. When Li Shanchang's entire family was killed, she lost her entire family (Li family) except Li Qi and her two sons. Zhu Yunwen didn't know whether Li Qi had cared about her life or death, but Li Qi probably wouldn't tell her about ancient and modern times, underworld soldiers, and rebellion.
Pillow person, pillow person that you don’t trust.
That’s all.
Everything depends on fate.
Li Qi is not dead yet, but he has been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human shape, especially one of his legs is completely disabled. But even so, Li Qi still did not explain the identities of Gu Jin, Pan Gu and others.
Strangely enough, most of these people are tough guys who refuse to speak even to death. It seems that there is a force supporting them, allowing them to keep secrets and refuse to give in even to death.
Zhu Yunwen understood this power, which was called morality in ancient times and faith in later generations.
But the problem is, Li Qi is just a young man from a rich family, a conspiracy to rebel. Where does he have morality and faith?
Could it be said that a strong will to revenge can support a person through the punishment of skin peeling and cramping?
In any case, Li Qi resisted.
The prison door chain rattled, and Li Qi sat in a dark and damp corner, as dumb as a dead person.
The sound of the chain caused additional injuries on the skin.
Needless to say, the Security Service is about to torture itself again.
Pang Huan walked into the cell and looked at Li Qi in the corner. He smiled and said, "I'll bring you two acquaintances. Let's get up and take a look." Come in."
Li Mao and Li Fang were pushed into the cell.
Li Qi's originally cloudy and scattered eyes slowly focused, he pushed away the dirty and messy hair in front of his eyes, looked at his two sons, couldn't help but trembled, and shouted: "Don't hurt them, they don't know anything, I did it alone!”
"Father, father, it's really you!"
Li Mao and Li Fang cried and stepped forward, but were stopped by Xiuchundao.
Tang Buping looked at Li Mao and Li Fang indifferently: "Back off."
Li Qi stood up with his hands supported, limping, and begged: "It has nothing to do with them, why should we arrest them!"
Tang Buping took a step forward, lifted Li Qi up with one hand, pushed it hard against the wall, and made a dull crashing sound: "It has nothing to do with them. How many children you sold, how many families you destroyed, and how many people you killed have nothing to do with them. What does it matter? When it’s your family’s turn, you’ll cry innocent, but don’t forget, the blood on your hands is no less than that of the seventy-odd members of your Li family.”
Li Qi was hit so hard that he could hardly breathe.
Tang Buping let go of his hand and said bitterly: "If Gujin hadn't been found yet, you would have been executed long ago. Look at it, they are your biological sons, the only flesh and blood you have left in this world. You have to bear this." They will endure all the torture. I want to see which one is more important, your son, or the past and present!"
Li Qi slipped from the wall, panting violently. Seeing Pang Huan about to take away Li Mao and Li Fang, he quickly shouted: "Don't hurt them!"
"Whether it hurts or not depends on you. You can bear it, but I don't know if your son can bear it."
Tang Buping waved his hand, and Li Mao and Li Fang were taken away.
"Tang Buping, you bastard!"
Li Qi shouted angrily.
Just as Tang Buping was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and the voices of Li Mao and Li Fang calling "mother".
Princess Zhu Jingjing of Lin'an arrived and walked into the prison. Looking at the man who had been waiting for five years and not returning home, she made a request to Liu Changge: "Get some hot water and find yourself a change of clothes."
Liu Changge nodded to the people from the Security Bureau and motioned to do it.
Li Qi looked at Zhu Jingjing, lowered his head and said, "Why, why were you discovered? I clearly placed you in such a secret place!"
Zhu Jingjing took a deep breath and said, "Because I left the valley and went to Tianjie Temple to pray for you."
"You are confused!"
Li Qi was furious.
Zhu Jingjing nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I am confused. It has been five years since my husband left. There is no news or even a place to go. I don't even know where to think of you. It's Hangzhou." , is it Suzhou, is it Fengyang, or is it Jinling! I am confused, I am beside you, sleeping in the same bed, but I don’t know that you want to murder Emperor Jianwen! Why, you don’t dare to attack Taizu directly, are you planning to bully the younger generation? "
Li Qi roared: "I originally wanted to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. If he dies, I will naturally settle the score with Zhu Yunwen! I want to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty, and I will make them pay the price!"
Snapped!
Zhu Jingjing slapped Li Qi hard on the face, looked at the shocked Li Qi and said, "Can you shout out Taizu's name? Don't forget, you are his consort! If you weren't on this level back then, Identity, you are dead a long time ago, and the blood of the Li family has been extinct a long time ago. You are ungrateful, but resentful, and even dare to commit the following crimes with the intention of treason, yes I am confused, or you are confused!"
Li Qi gritted his teeth and gasped violently: "Taizu killed my whole family, why shouldn't I come to take revenge? Confucius also said that revenge for ten generations can still be avenged. I don't want to hand over such a dangerous thing to my descendants. I want the Zhu family to pay The price of bleeding!”
Zhu Jingjing shook her head bitterly: "The hatred of ten generations can still be avenged? Ha, Li Qi, Li Qi, don't tell me, you don't know that Confucius's original words are: 'The king's way is restored, respect the king and reject the barbarians. The hatred of ten generations can still be avenged. It can be repaid!', what the saint said is a national hatred, a national hatred, not a family feud, not a personal hatred! Are you pitiful or hateful when you take the words out of context?!"
Li Qi was blinded by hatred, and no matter how Zhu Jingjing persuaded him, it was of no avail. Perhaps, when he saw the heads of Li Shanchang and others falling to the ground and losing all support, he was already dead, and all that was left was his twisted psychology and paranoia for revenge.
Zhu Jingjing sighed: "You don't care about me because I am Taizu's daughter. It doesn't matter. But have you ever thought about what to do with Li Mao and Li Fang? The emperor has said that if you explain clearly, they can live."
"Can you still believe what the royal family says?"
Li Qi sneered.
Back then, Li Shanchang had two death-free iron coupons. But what was the use of these things? If you can't even believe the words written on the iron coupons, who would believe what Zhu Yunzhen said verbally?
Zhu Jingjing stood up and looked at Li Qi sadly: "This is not the Hongwu Dynasty. You have been outside. You should know better than me. Emperor Jianwen is not fond of killing. What he said is more effective than the iron coupon to avoid death. Besides, you don't believe him. , just let the children die, do you have any choice?"
The bucket and clothes were brought, and the shackles were taken off.
Zhu Jingjing hoped that Liu Changge and others would retreat, but was refused, so he had to untie Li Qi's dirty and smelly clothes. Looking at the scars all over his body, like dense earthworms crawling all over his body, he said heartbrokenly: "For the sake of the child If you don’t deserve this crime, you should have spoken out. What persistence is more important than the survival of flesh, blood, and blood?”
Li Qi struggled and hesitated.
When Li Mao and Li Fang saw the torture tools of the Security Bureau, they were trembling with fear and did not dare to speak. They only looked at Li Qi with pleading eyes.
"I want to see Zhu Yunwen!"
Li Qi gritted his teeth and said firmly to Liu Changge.
