Rearranging the chess game

Zhu Qian didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had guessed the plan he had painstakingly brewed based on a small amount of information. At this time, he was leading people to dig graves, wanting to take a look at these pretenders in Dezhou City.

What the hell are you doing underground?

After excavating the collapse under the city gate, tunnels extending in all directions were as dense as a spider web. Unexpectedly, it was only separated from the corridor of the tomb of King Sulu by a wall. The people who built these tunnels must have had a terrible conspiracy.

However, this also solved the mystery of the haunted sounds in Dezhou City, which are sounds coming from underground, passing through these corridors, and turning into various sounds. If those people from the Cao Gang hadn't blown up the place in order to open the city gate, I'm afraid the ghosts would have screamed.

will always exist.

After solving a big puzzle, Zhu Qian held another interrogation. However, the location of the interrogation was no longer the Zhizhou government office, but in the center of the busy city. This time he was not as polite as last time. First, he asked Sheng Yulin

The leader made dozens of big moves, and then he did everything honestly. He did forcefully buy several acres of Shi Awang's land, but this was not his idea, but the people below who were good at making their own decisions, and he was responsible for the haunting.

He was also the master of suffering, scolding whoever was so wicked, and hung Shi Awang's wife at the door of his house.

When Zhu Gan saw the submissive looks of Sheng Yulin and others, he felt a burst of contempt in his heart. He knocked on the gavel and said loudly: "First sign and seal, and then we will talk about your crime of allowing your men to loot Dezhou City this time."

Although the common people were puzzled by the red-coated army's interrogation at the entrance to the downtown area, they went to see the excitement with an uneasy mood. Only then did they realize that it was not only the interrogation of Shi Awang, but also an excuse to use the case. Every Cheng family member,

There were also strangers who were tied up and left aside in great embarrassment.

It also made the people onlookers let out a bad breath. They just didn't know how to judge those guys who killed a thousand people. They clearly remembered what happened that day. Some farmers who were usually honest and good-natured rushed in like wolves and tigers.

When you enter their home, you will grab any good things, and almost all the beautiful women in the house will be ruined.

If it weren't for the red-coated troops to enforce law here, these victims would already be eager to rush forward and tear these culprits into pieces.

Sheng Yulin Feng Qingyun smiled lightly, raised his head, and said with an angry smile: "Thieves, I am doing it for righteousness, so it doesn't matter if someone dies. They die gloriously, and die deservedly for righteousness. This is what they do for

An opportunity for our ancestors to accumulate virtue."

Zhu Qian was extremely angry. He didn't expect this guy to be so shameless and dare to speak harshly. He immediately grabbed the token on the table, threw it down, and said in a cold voice: "There is no need to go to trial. This guy has already pleaded guilty to instigation and war crimes.

Cut it off for me."

Two red-coated soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Sheng Yulin's shoulders, and dragged him outside the venue. Sheng Yulin was heard shouting loudly: "Every traitor will be punished. You kill one of me today, tomorrow."

When the heavenly army of the imperial court arrives, they will definitely kill you and other rebellious ministers and nine clans."

If you keep speaking tough even when you are about to die, maybe you will become a loyal minister who died for the country in the history books in the future, but now in the eyes of the people, you are a devil with unforgivable sins, but obviously the history books don't care about what the people think, but now I care.

Looking at the cold blade, Sheng Yulin wanted to beg for mercy, but as he spoke, the knife had already been swung down, and the blood in the cavity of his big head shot up to the sky. He opened his mouth and widened his eyes.

, I don’t know whether he was unwilling to give in, or he just wanted to speak. The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.

Few people knew what Zhu Qian's so-called war crimes were, but they welcomed the killing of Sheng Yulin. This guy dared to speak arrogantly. Some angry people broke through the guard and faced

This headless corpse was beaten and kicked, and some of the haters even bit off his flesh. Obviously, their hatred needed to be vented in such extreme ways to give them peace of mind.

After the crowd drove away and looked at Sheng Yulin's mutilated body, the Cheng family disciples in the square felt cold all over. They didn't expect that it was just an impulse. Will they end up like this today?

Cheng Jiao was so frightened that he peed his pants. When he saw Zhu Qian's cold eyes looking at him, he immediately howled loudly and crawled towards Zhu Qian shamelessly on his knees: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I deserve to die! They are all surnames.

Sheng’s monstrous words confuse the public, and I also ate lard and deceived my heart. I deserve to die. Please forgive me! I don’t dare to do it anymore. I am willing to be a bull and a horse for you in this life. Please forgive me!”

Looking at Cheng Jiao with tears and runny nose, feces, urine and fishy smell flying everywhere, he just felt sick. What else can such a playboy do besides fighting against others? At least the guy named Sheng can threaten him forcefully.

After a few words, I felt sick for no reason.

He raised the gavel with a snap and made Cheng Jiao quiet down, but he looked at him with fear. Zhu Qian ignored him, but looked at the other members of the Cheng family and said, "Do you have any

Is there anything you can explain? I’ll give you a clear explanation. Of course, if you want to atone for your sins, you can, but that depends on your attitude.”

Several people in the Cheng family looked defeated. Only the eldest brother, Cheng Shaogeng, could still maintain a trace of clarity. Thinking about leading people into the empty treasury before, he had a hint of uneasiness in his heart, and now he was a prisoner.

, but it can be a bit calmer.

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Gan. He looked at this man who was younger than himself, but had a tough and upright heroic spirit. I have to say that such a person is easy to envy. If it were normal, I would definitely be friends with him and discuss it.

However, now that he is a prisoner, he feels a bit more self-pitying: "You are a beautiful lady, but you are a thief. How can this court be sorry for you..."

Zhu Gan looked at Cheng Shaogeng's eloquent quotations from scriptures and talked about the faults of the Red Army. Suddenly, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. You will never understand what he wants. Maybe it is loneliness. He immediately gave Cheng Shaogeng a scare and interrupted him.

He said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk about something practical! Can you atone for your sins? If not, then I will give you a good time. If you can, then come up with something."

A little brother of the Cheng family immediately shouted loudly: "Yes! My family has several granaries and some money hidden away. We are willing to use them to atone for our sins."

Bang! Zhu Qian couldn't care less about such an influence. He was so excited that he stood up and said loudly: "Okay! I will temporarily take you into custody first. The dead are already dead. We must take care of the living first. The money earned will be used for

Compensate those who were injured in this incident.”

Zhu Gan didn't know how much money or food the Cheng family had accumulated. I'm afraid the money would not be less than one million. As the saying goes, three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, in an environment where officials love money and generals are afraid of death.

, there are a few people who can get out of the mud without being stained. Although Cheng Shao was an upright man, he never said that he did not love money. Just like Zhang Juzheng said that he was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. This man was not only greedy, but also extremely greedy.

This may be the real purpose behind Zhu Gan's willingness to jump out of the chess game and reopen the Heaven of Chaos after learning about his other identity.

The people were still angry at first, but Zhu Gan's words that the dead are dead and the living must be taken care of first have calmed their anger a lot. So what if you kill them? The dead will not be resurrected. In the hearts of the living

The damage will not be reduced.

Looking at these people who were tied up with five flowers, Zhu Gan waved his hand, and the red-coated soldiers came forward and tore the rags from their mouths, slapped them on the wall, and asked angrily: "Tell me, who are you?"

The Cao Gang, the White Lotus Sect, or other forces."

These people were all the leaders of the captured thieves who bit each other, but Zhu Gan knew very well that not a single big fish here was caught.

When the tomb of King Sulu collapsed in front of him, he suspected that someone was pretending to be a ghost and wanted to cause trouble in the name of ghosts and gods, so he planned to take advantage of the trick and transported several large boxes from the tomb of King Sulu and deliberately swaggered through the streets, leaving behind

The ruts are so deep that someone who doesn't know the truth would think they were filled with gold and silver.

The bait was thrown out, but the big fish didn't take the bait. Only a few small thieves were caught, but later they had no choice but to let it go. This also became a confusion in Zhu Qian's heart. He has never figured out why those people didn't take the bait until today.

Uncover the mystery.

Since they are pretending to be evil and want to cause trouble, they must be planning something big, and planning something big will definitely require gold and silver, and these gold and silver were transported from the tomb of King Sulu. Human nature is sometimes very cheap, and everything is worthless.

It feels precious only when it is lost, and they missed these gold and silver, so they must be the ones that Dezhou City wants to get back most, not to mention that they are also the ones in Dezhou City that have the ability to get them back for the time being.

This is because they didn't want to take it back. Instead, they had completely explored the entire tomb of King Sulu, and even dug tunnels extending in all directions underground. It was clear that there would be no gold or silver at all, but Zhu Gan didn't know that at that time.

.

In front of everyone, those few people snorted coldly, showing their toughness. They didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to say anything. They didn't want to die, but they had to die. The Cao Gang had strict rules and they would definitely betray the Cao Gang. Not only they would suffer.

Unexpected disasters, especially for wives, children, and children, are unavoidable. It is impossible to say that a big boss in the gang is just mixed in the crowd.

Zhu Gan scanned the crowd with his eyes, suddenly burst out laughing, and snapped his fingers. Wang Chengen handed over a large piece of paper, densely filled with things. Zhu Gan raised the manuscript in his hand and said proudly: "Okay, you guys

They all have the guts. I admire such heroes the most. Isn’t it the Cao Gang who wants to avenge Tongzhou? I know it well and I won’t make things difficult for you. After all, you are also following orders."

After saying that, the smile on his face became even brighter and even became a little ambiguous.

The people looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Zhu Gan was up to. They looked at Zhu Gan from a distance and couldn't see clearly his true face, which was a bit blurry, but they could feel that his smile at this time must be very vulgar.

He picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, lifted up the red cloak behind him, and made a sound: "Quit, the trial will end here today. From now on, Dezhou City is only allowed to enter but not to leave. There is a curfew tonight. No one dares to leave at night."

Those who take to the streets will be killed without mercy!”

The Cao Gang bosses who were mixed in the crowd all had ugly faces at this time. They really wanted to believe that Zhu Qian's obscene smile just now was just for show, and the few little bosses who were caught were not aware of anything.

There is no confession, not to mention that they don't know their own information at all, but this is a matter of life and there is absolutely no room for sloppiness.

After all, people are so different from one another that no one can tell which one will confess, and he happened to know information about them. They can't afford to offend this vicious red-coated army, and they don't want to offend that evil god again. Obviously, they have also seen the information about them.

Zhu Gan led more than 200 people to kill the city in a crazy move.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. The older you are, the less courage you have.

At this time, those people were taken to the prison, and Zhu Qian also went to the prison together. However, he was not for the Cao Gang, but wanted to visit the Cheng family. After all, he could not kill all the people who made trouble.

, but he also has to give an explanation to the people.

There were only a few important people in this prison, so it seemed empty. Walking into the dark and gloomy cell, I looked at the younger members of the Cheng family. It was really fate. Not long ago, these people looked elegant and noble.

, who looked polite and courteous, is now a prisoner, like a rat crossing the street that everyone screams and beats.

He asked softly: "The people throughout Dezhou City are scolding you. The reputation that the Cheng family has managed to build with great effort has been ruined by you. Do you regret it?"

These brothers have long been accustomed to the dim light. They saw Zhu Gan as soon as he entered the prison, but they didn't think of opening his mouth. Cheng Shaogeng glanced at his uncle who was confused and shivering in the corner and sighed.

, stood up and said: "I regret it, and I don't regret it at all. I just didn't expect to lose so miserably. The reality is too cruel."

Zhu Gan slowly adapted to the dimness and saw the loneliness on Cheng Shaogeng's face clearly. He shook his head and said, "You are just too stupid and naive. Although the common people are lambs, as long as they are led by a lion, they will instantly turn into wolves."

, you are not wolves, and I am not a lion, so the common people are not lambs, tell me! How much can your Cheng family get?"

Cheng Shaogeng really wanted to argue, but he didn't know where he was defeated. He was a lamb, a lion, a wolf. It was just nonsense.

But now is not the time to be harsh. If your reputation among the people is gone, you will eventually earn it back. But if your life is gone, it will be completely gone. He immediately said: "We can give you all the money, but only if you want to

Put back the servants who were captured."

Zhu Gan looked at him with a half-smile, and couldn't help but mock: "Why, you still want to make a comeback, but I like challenges, and I will pay you back then."

Although the red-coated army must take action and it will definitely be extremely ruthless, nothing has happened so far. It is said that the red-coated army went back on its word. So when he heard Zhu Gan personally agreed, Cheng Shaogeng said with joy: "Okay, my Cheng family

I have a total deposit of 300,000 taels of silver..."

Zhu Gan's face immediately sank, he was sending beggars away! You must know that in the late Ming Dynasty, the court was short of silver, and the market was also short of silver circulation, but the only thing that was not short of silver was the silver stored in the cellars of big landowners and big bureaucrats. For example,

Qian Qianyi spent 20,000 taels to buy a top eunuch from the eunuch, while Han Jing spent 40,000 taels to buy a top prize.

How magnificent! You must know that the annual income in the late Ming Dynasty was only four million taels. Sixty thousand taels of silver was very small compared to four million taels of silver, but on average it was a lot compared to each other. I could only be speechless. Those who were noisy all day long

People, open your eyes and take a look! This is the real Ming Dynasty, with rich scholar-officials and a poor court. It is precisely these scholar-officials who control the history books.

What is left in the history books are only the dark Jin Yiwei and the perverted Dongchang eunuchs. It seems that except for the righteous and unyielding scholar-bureaucrats who dared to offend Tian Yan, the entire Ming Dynasty was in darkness.

Mencius said: Wealth and honor cannot be coquettish, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot bend. This is called a true man. In the battle of Yashan, the Song Dynasty was destroyed. More than 100,000 people threw themselves into the sea and were martyred. They would rather die than surrender. How heroic! The Qing army went south, and there were more

Several people committed suicide and died, and there was a patchwork of grass everywhere, falling wherever the wind blew. The ugly faces of these so-called literati men among them were fully exposed, and the Qing army relied on the gold and silver they looted to quickly pacify the four directions.

.

Since ancient times, scholars should be the backbone of the Chinese nation. Only if they can stand upright between heaven and earth with backbone can the Chinese nation have backbone. The literati of the Ming Dynasty have been corrupted by privilege and money. Most people who have never suffered hardships

His bones are full of shamelessness and servility to bully his subordinates and flatter his superiors.

Thinking of these things that suddenly came to his mind, Zhu Gan was extremely angry. He walked away without looking back and said: "Three hundred thousand taels of silver, very good! The remaining silver will be left for you to buy a coffin! I will give it to you."

I gave you the opportunity, but if you don’t cherish it, I won’t accompany you anymore.”

…

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. In the Buddhist temple, there are the sound of copper bells, green bricks and green tiles surrounded by green vines.

A carriage went up the ancient road and slowly entered the ancient temple. Listening to the sound of the bells that cleansed people's hearts, an arm as white as a lotus root stretched out from the carriage. The fingers were as slender as green onions. Just listening to a very pleasant sound

The voice shouted: "Sister Ling'er, do you think there are any heroes in this world?"

Listening to the little girl's words full of resentment, I thought she was a married woman who was waiting for marriage, but I heard another person's voice with a hint of pity. Her voice was as cold as the clear spring in the mountain stream.

, but there is a sweetness after experiencing it carefully: "Isn't your Mr. Qian a hero? Little girl, your eyebrows haven't even grown yet! You are not ashamed to think about these things."

The voice said nonchalantly: "What kind of hero is that surnamed Qian? He has no power to tie a chicken. He must be at least like Sister Ling'er. Only those who can reach heaven and earth are heroes. Lu Jiutai is pretty good. He can write and write."

Wu, alas! Unfortunately, I can only think about you, sister! Do you have someone you like?"

"The little girl is really shameless. Okay, this is a holy land of Buddhism. Don't discuss matters between men and women anymore. This is rude to the Lord Buddha." Regarding this little girl's weird behavior, Black Rakshasa King Yuling naturally knew that she had suffered a lot since childhood.

, has long developed an exquisite mind, and seems to have seen what is on his mind.

He immediately raised his hand and lightly hit her on the head.

"The lady in the carriage could be Zhou Daodeng's concubine."
