"Oh? Brother Mu thinks the eunuchs are temporarily safe?"
"Yes, given time, if the emperor figures it out and starts asking questions, it will probably be the end of the eunuch party."
"Haha, well, these are all things for later. I just want to ask, where is the current progress of the interrogation?"
Zhang Mazi said humbly: "Yang Lian and others somehow confessed to the crime framed by Xu Xianchun. They are still imprisoned in Zhenfusi Prison. Oh, by the way, I went to a temple yesterday to offer incense and met yi
A young man, because I had nothing to do, I chatted with him for an hour."
"who?"
"What's it called...oh, Shi Kefa, um, Shi Kefa!"
"Shi Kefa?" Ma Xiaoquan was surprised, "What do you think of this person?"
Zhang Mazi curled his lips and said, "We have been talking for an hour. His literary talent is quite good, but his temperament is a bit cowardly."
"Cowardly?" Ma Xiaoquan was secretly shocked: No, Shi Kefa is a national hero. Even if the data device in his body is broken, based on the historical knowledge he has learned before, he knows how powerful Shi Kefa is. How can such a person be so powerful in Zhangzhou?
What about Mazi being said to be cowardly?
"Let's go, take me to meet him," Ma Xiaoquan said.
"Why, are you interested in chatting with him too?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said nothing.
...
In a temple somewhere in Beijing, Shi Kefa was sweeping the ground with a broom.
Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Mazi came to Shi Kefa, stopped and looked at him quietly.
Shi Kefa noticed something strange, raised his head and saw Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Mazi.
"Excuse me...are you two pilgrims in this temple?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
"So you're here to find the host? Oh, I'm only here temporarily. If necessary, I can guide you two to find the host."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Are you Shi Kefa?"
Shi Kefa was stunned: "That's right, but I don't know you two?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I am Ma Xiaoquan, the deacon of Jinyiwei, and this person next to me is Zhang Muzhi, the head of Tianlao Prison."
"Deacon Jinyiwei, head of the Tianlao cell?" Shi Kefa was so frightened that he trembled several times and quickly waved his hands and said, "I...I didn't break the law. I...Sir, I was wronged...
...." After saying that, Shi Kefa suddenly knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Mazi.
Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Mazi looked at each other and wondered, is this still the national hero Shi Kefa? How could he be so cowardly that he just signed up for a family and frightened him like this?
"Get up," Ma Xiaoquan said lightly. Shi Kefa raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, but he didn't dare to stand up.
Ma Xiaoquan was a little impatient: "I asked you to get up, what are you afraid of?"
Shi Kefa raised his head, swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, the villain has not committed any crime."
Zhang Mazi beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Shi Kefa up forcefully and said: "Get up if I tell you to. I didn't say you were guilty!"
"Oh" Shi Kefa patted his chest and took a long breath.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Shi Kefa, right? Let me ask you, are you Zuo Guangdou's student?"
When Shi Kefa heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down again.
"Sir, I am a student of Teacher Zuo, but I am definitely not a member of the Donglin Party."
Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Mazi looked at each other, both of them looking helpless. Well, since you, Shi Kefa, like to kneel, just kneel down and answer the question.
"Since you are not a member of the Donglin Party, why are you a student of Zuo Guangdou?"
Shi Kefa raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Little...little man, he is really not a member of the Donglin Party..."
"Okay, if it doesn't, then it won't. Then what did your teacher Zuo teach you?"
"Teacher...teacher teaches little people how to behave."
"Okay, then let me ask you again, since your Teacher Zuo taught you how to be a good person, are you afraid of death?"
Shi Kefa raised his head. At this moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid!"
"Very good! Since you are not afraid of death, I want you to see your teacher. Do you dare or not?"
"Sir, this..."
"Aren't you afraid of death? Why are you hesitating again?"
Shi Kefa shook his head and said: "The villain is not afraid of death, it's just...just..."
"No...it's settled. If you're afraid, you can still tell me now that you won't see your teacher. If you're not afraid, it's settled."
Shi Kefa raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan and fell silent.
"Very good, then you wait for my news."
...
After walking out of the temple, Zhang Mazi said: "Shi Kefa has a strong will, but a cowardly temper. Brother Ma, will you scare him if you let him see Zuo Guangdou?"
The corner of Ma Xiaoquan's mouth raised: "No"
"Oh? Are you so confident in that ugly guy?" Shi Kefa looked ugly.
"You will know then. Oh, by the way, Brother Mu, I need to go to Zhenfusi Prison. Please help me make arrangements."
Zhang Mazi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I knew there would be nothing simple about coming with you."
"Ha ha......"
...
The next day, Zhang Mazi came to tell Ma Xiaoquan that he was ready and Ma Xiaoquan could go to Zhenfusi Prison now.
After Ma Xiaoquan thanked him, he disguised himself and went to Zhenfusi Prison.
The prison guard had been bribed by Zhang Mazi earlier, and after Ma Xiaoquan whispered a secret signal, the prison guard let him in.
The smell inside Zhenfusi Prison was unbearable. Ma Xiaoquan covered his nose and walked to the end of the prison where he saw Zuo Guangdou.
After being tortured continuously, Zuo Guangdou was no longer human. All the muscles and bones under his left knee had been broken. Due to excessive injuries and the poor environment in the prison, his right leg began to rot and developed a rancid smell.
smell.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and shouted: "Master Zuo!"
Zuo Guangdou raised his head, squinted his eyes for a long time, and then responded hoarsely: "Oh, it turns out to be the deacon, Mr. Zuo or Mr. Right. I am already a prisoner. Why are you here?"
Ma Xiaoquan gave a bitter smile and said: "Wei Zhongxian is so heartbroken and crazy, ugh"
"Haha, what's the matter? I came in here and didn't think about going out again. It's just that, Mr. Deacon, you and Wei Zhongxian are not on good terms. Why did you come here? Aren't you afraid that someone will find you?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I won't come if I'm afraid."
"Then the deacon came here to see the old man. Is there something wrong?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, Mr. Zuo, do you have a student named Shi Kefa?"
Zuo Guangdou was stunned, his originally hoarse voice suddenly turned serious.
"Master Deacon, how do you know Shi Kefa?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "This person is a talented person, but his temperament is a bit cowardly."
Zuo Guangdou sighed: "The deacon is right, this is what I am worried about."
