Chapter 177: Forced Confession

The Jin Yiwei who had been beaten away by Li Dingguo came to the door and met with other companions. When they told the story, the hundreds of households were furious and swarmed in with a group of Jin Yiwei.

The servants in Zhang Xianzhong's mansion were all arranged by Cao Huachun, and they were not Zhang Xianzhong's thugs. How could this group of people try to stop them? They all stepped aside, and among them, there were many spies planted by Cao Huachun. Seeing this

Wait for the situation to happen, sneak out of the house quickly, and rush to notify Eunuch Cao.

The Jin Yiwei entered the backyard of the mansion and found that Zhang Xianzhong and others were no longer there. After asking the servants in the mansion, they learned that they had escaped from the backyard. Hundreds of households chased them all the way along the back door, but could not find Zhang Xianzhong, so they had to return to the commander's office to resume their orders.

.

When Luo Yangxing heard that Zhang Xianzhong had not been caught, he was furious and slapped several of those hundreds of households. Fortunately, other subordinates did not disappoint him, such as Zhang Dali, Wu Guoxiong, Ma Jinzhong, Liu Jiusi, and Xue Rengui

The surrendered generals were captured one by one.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong, these people were much easier to intimidate. When they saw Jin Yiwei coming to the door, they were frightened and did not dare to resist too much, so they were captured. They yelled at first, but they were soon captured.

Gagged his mouth and took him back to the command department.

Seeing that most of them had been captured, Luo Yangxing's face finally showed joy. Anyway, Zhang Xianzhong is no better than you. If you interrogate the captured ones first and interrogate their confessions, you can still nail Yue Su.

"Ascending to the Hall!"

Luo Yangxing gave an order and immediately commanded Si Shengtang. The Jin Yiwei brought a group of generals to the hall. They were not polite and kicked them to the ground one after another.

"Why should we be arrested?" "Yes, we have always abided by the law and have not committed any crimes. Why should we be arrested?" "Master Yue said that he would protect my wealth and wealth. As long as we don't cause trouble, we will live in peace for the rest of our lives!"

…

"What are you shouting about? This is the Jinyiwei Hall, and it is reasonable to arrest you here! Please be honest, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Luo Yangxing shouted loudly.

The name of the Jin Yiwei is known to all the world. This group of generals is now in Beijing. When they see the Jin Yiwei, they are inevitably a little scared. Seeing Luo Yangxing shouting majestically, he suddenly became mute. It took a long time before someone said: "This sir

, since you said it was reasonable to arrest us here, then please tell us, why?"

"I ask you, since you have accepted the imperial court's offer of peace, why haven't you confiscated the money and property you looted in the past?" Luo Yangxing asked loudly.

"This... Mr. Yue didn't say that he would confiscate these properties at that time..." Zhang Dali said.

Yes, if Yue Su had said this at the beginning, it is estimated that these people would be so anxious that they would not surrender to the imperial court even if they were killed. And not only them, but also other generals would not be able to surrender.

"I knew it was Yue Su who was responsible! What promises did Yue Su make to you?" Luo Yangxing asked coldly.

"Lord Yue made a blood alliance with us and said that we would share wealth and honor." Zhang Dali said truthfully. After saying this, he also wanted to win over Yue Su. Relying on Yue Su's name, it is estimated that there should be many people in the capital.

No one dares to mess with them.

"It turns out that Yue Su has made a bloody alliance with you, so you are honest." Luo Yangxing grinned with satisfaction, feeling a little more confident, and then asked: "Then I will ask you again, is this Yue Su?

We have discussed with you that you will follow him in rebellion in the future, and when he becomes emperor, he will definitely give you high-ranking officials and generous salaries?"

"ah……"

After hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then everyone shook their heads together and said: "No such thing!" "No such thing!"...

"No, do you think that my governor is a three-year-old child? Why does Yue Su want to make a blood alliance with you? He has just been a first-rank official and became a second minister in the dynasty. How could he look down on you group of grass bandits for no reason! I

The governor will give you a chance now. If you are summoned truthfully, I can also plead with Your Majesty to spare your lives. If you don't know how to show appreciation, don't blame me for using severe punishment on you! You should also listen to the punishment of our Jin Yiwei.

I said it!" Luo Yangxing opened his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Really not! When the blood alliance was made, Eunuch Cao, the royal horse supervisor, was also present and drank blood wine with everyone." "Yes, Eunuch Cao was also present at that time. He and Master Yue were waiting with me.

They only pledged to protect us and others' wealth for the rest of our lives. There is no rebellion at all." "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can come to Eunuch Cao to confront you."...

This group of people suddenly remembered Cao Huachun, so they showed off his name one after another.

"This matter actually involves Cao Huachun..." Luo Yangxing couldn't help but take a breath, asking him to detain Cao Huachun now, even if he had the courage to do so, he wouldn't dare. Do you think Cao Huachun is just like those people?

Don’t you understand? If you want to arrest Eunuch Cao, you must at least reveal the imperial edict. Otherwise, the group of people who went there will not be beaten to death by Eunuch Cao. But having said that, if Luo Yangxing cannot produce the edict, his subordinates will

No one dared to go to this group of royal guards.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yangxing said: "It turns out that Cao Huachun has also colluded with Yue Su to plot to usurp the throne. Okay, I will wait until the governor has finished interrogating you before requesting an order to capture Cao Huachun."

"Pa!" After saying that, Luo Yangxing slammed the table, and then said loudly: "Tell me! What benefits did Yue Su promise to make you follow him in rebellion!"

"Master Yue never said that we should follow him in rebellion..."

Everyone also knows that rebellion is a capital crime. Now in Beijing, if they admit it, they will lose their heads. Even if they admit it, they can't recruit it.

"Okay, I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Come here!" Luo Yangxing pointed at Zhang Dali, who was kneeling in the front row, and shouted sternly: "Drag him out and take good care of him!"

"yes!"

As soon as the voice settled, four Jinyi guards came over and dragged Zhang Dali aside.

When an ordinary yamen tries a case, generally speaking, the decision is made first, and then the punishment is increased bit by bit. However, Jinyiwei's yamen is usually not accustomed to illness, and pays attention to one step. No matter how tough a man enters, he must confess honestly.

.Historically, there are only a handful of people who can try all eighteen kinds of torture instruments in Jinyiwei Yamen and still avoid using them.

Zhang Dali was taken to the side, and soon another Jin Yiwei brought a bench. The bench was very long and wide, enough for a person to lie on it. However, the bench was covered with nails and sharp nails.

It is facing upwards, emitting a cold light, which makes people's hearts tremble when they see it.

Four Jinyi guards directly lifted Zhang Dali up and then laid him flat on the bench.

"ah!"

After lying down on the stool, the man immediately screamed in pain, but this was just the opening remarks, the fun was yet to come. Four Jinyi guards held down Zhang Dali, and then two more Jinyi guards came forward and tied Zhang Dali with ropes.

After tying it, start to slowly tighten the rope.

The person and the stool are tied together. The tighter the rope is tightened, the deeper the nails are pierced, and the punctured places begin to bleed. This kind of torture can even make people bleed to death. How has Zhang Dali ever experienced this?

, kept screaming in pain, the sound was like killing a pig, and the other generals kneeling in the hall were all horrified.

"Are you recruiting or not?" Luo Yangxing pointed at Zhang Dali and asked sternly.

Zhang Dali is not a fool. He has already seen the signs. If he doesn't move now, he will die here. In order to save his life, he still has a lot of control, and immediately shouted: "I'll move, I'll move!"

"It's true that I can't shed tears until I see the coffin! Stop for a second!" Luo Yangxing ordered, and the Jinyi guards loosened the tight rope. Immediately, Luo Yangxing asked: "What is your name? What is your current position?"

"My name is Zhang Dali, and I currently live in the Zuojun Governor's Mansion as the Governor and Tongzhi..." Zhang Dali replied carefully.

"You're not a young official. After making a fuss, you became a second-grade official, which is higher than me. Tell me how Yue Su colluded with you, when did you plan to rebel, and what official position will you be rewarded after the rebellion is successful?

?" Luo Yangxing asked loudly.

"Yes... he came to us and said that he wanted to rebel. I didn't agree with it at the time, but he said that if we didn't rebel with him, he would kill us. In desperation, I had no choice but to agree. As for when to rebel,

He didn't tell me at the time, he just said that he would wait for the news. After success, he would reward me and give me a title so that I could enjoy glory and wealth for generations to come..."

Zhang Dali was forced to do nothing and could only talk nonsense.

"He has formed a blood alliance with you. Does he want you to believe in him and rebel with him?" Luo Yangxing asked coldly.

"Yes, yes..."

"Is your plan to wait until after Yue Su defeats Li Zicheng and his troops return to the court, and cooperate with others to seize the capital?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Is the title he promised you a duke or a marquis?"

"It's...the Duke..."

"Is that the founding Duke?"

"Yes, yes..."

"At that time, Cao Huachun formed a blood alliance with you. Do you think he also knew about the rebellion?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Cao Huachun is in charge of the imperial army. When he calls out, you guys will follow him into the palace and kidnap the emperor and the queen mother together?"

"Yes, yes..."

Zhang Dali was shaking all over in pain. No matter what Luo Yangxing asked, he would just admit it.

"You guys are so brave. Fortunately, I discovered your conspiracy in time. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would have perished in your hands! Come here, let him sign and sign!"

With an order, the clerk who recorded the confession took the confession to Zhang Dali. The Jin Yiwei untied Zhang Dali and asked him to kneel on the ground and sign and seal it. How dare Zhang Dali not not sign and stamp his name honestly?

Upper handprint.

After the painting was finished, the confession was presented to Luo Yangxing. Luo Yangxing read it once and nodded with satisfaction. Then he knelt down and said loudly: "At this moment, Zhang Dali has confessed. If you have anything else to say, give it to me.

Take them one by one, otherwise, you will have to taste the punishment just now!"
