Jiang Wei will not be lenient in taking action, and now it has become a hell on earth.
The leading conspirators were already dead, and they were tortured to death. Not only that, but before they died, Jiang Wei also tortured them to extract confessions in order to dig out the masterminds as much as possible.
The screams in the prison were endless all day long, and the shrill screams of despair made people feel like they were in hell. Almost no one could bear such torture. Several imperial doctors, including the hospital envoy, quickly
Then he confessed.
They are all related to the other five families. Among them, the imperial envoy is from the Wen family, and the other two imperial doctors are from the Yang family and the Luo family. They were brought to live in the Ming Dynasty after being destroyed since they were young. At first, they read and wrote like normal people.
Make friends, and when they grow up, their parents will tell them their mission, and even let them study hard in medicine in order to give them a chance to enter the palace.
And after they entered the palace and became imperial doctors, the only people who could contact them were the so-called parents who raised them.
This time the incident happened so suddenly that they were caught before they could react, and their parents were naturally unable to escape. .??.
However, Jiang Wei tried his best, but could not find anything valuable during the interrogation. These people only confessed that he came from Yaeshan Island, and that he never went back after coming to Ming Dynasty. Even the people who contacted them,
They didn't know who it was, but every time they would take advantage of their sleep to mysteriously place letters of instructions in their hands.
Poisoning the prince this time was also the instruction they received.
The clues are completely broken when they reach this point. Although it seems to have revealed information about a Yaeshan Island, this island has long been destroyed by Han Du. Now it is a Ming Dynasty military post on the sea. What is its use?
Jiang Wei had no choice but to take this confession and present it to the emperor.
After Lao Zhu saw that it was the five families who were pulling the strings again, he gave up hope that Jiang Yu would be tortured to extract a confession. These people were hidden too deeply, and digging them out was not something that could be done in a short time.
"Kill these people to death."
Others, Lao Zhu, hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet. At this moment, they discovered Zhu Biao's hysteria.
Han Du accompanied Zhu Biao to the gate of the prison. Zhu Biao stepped forward to walk in, but was stopped by Han Du.
Seeing Zhu Biao looking sideways at him, Han Du said with a smile: "How can His Highness, a rich man, lower his status and go in to deliver the order? We should ask the people inside to come out to receive the order."
When Zhu Biao thought about it, he felt that he was too eager and stopped immediately.
When a guard saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arriving in person, he quickly ordered the people next to him to report to the commander, and hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
He said: "I will finally pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Han Du stood up and ordered: "Go and call you adults, the emperor has a decree."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Marquis, please rest assured. The general has already sent someone to inform you." The guard bowed and replied, then stepped aside and stood quietly.
In just a moment, Jiang Wei and his men walked out of the dark door of the prison.
"I am late to welcome you, so please forgive me, Your Highness." Jiang Wei quickly knelt on the ground.
Zhu Biao held the imperial edict high with a serious expression, "The imperial edict has arrived, Jiang Wei will receive it."
"Your Majesty Jiang Gu accepts the order."
Zhu Biao unfolded the imperial edict and solemnly said: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven to carry out the edict: a group of traitors have been executed. However, although other imperial doctors are at fault, their crimes are not worthy of death. God has the virtue of good life, and I am determined to put all the imperial doctors to death."
The medical officer position will never be used, let them make a living on their own."
Jiang Wei suddenly looked up at Zhu Biao in shock. He simply couldn't believe his ears. He even doubted whether the prince and the Marquis of Zhenhai were falsely passing on the imperial edict.
But when Zhu Biao handed the imperial edict to him, after reading it carefully, he bowed helplessly and replied: "I obey the edict, long live my emperor."
"Get up." At this time, Zhu Biao smiled and asked Jiang Wei to get up.
After Jiang Wei got up, Han Du took a step forward with a smile and said: "Since the emperor is merciful, please ask Mr. Jiang to let everyone go."
Jiang Wei wanted to dye his robes red with the blood of these people, but since the emperor had issued the decree, he had no choice. He looked at Han Du deeply, thinking that Han Du came to Zhu Biao to plead for mercy, so he let
The emperor agreed to let these people go.
Faced with Han Du's gaze as calm as an ancient well, Jiang Wei couldn't help but avoid it in the end, nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Zhenhai, since there is the emperor's will, even if I have the courage, I will not dare to disobey it.
Holy Will. I will give the order to release everyone."
"Your Highness, I would like to retire first." Jiang Wei finally ignored Han Du and bowed his hands.
Zhu Biao was eager for Jiang Yu to release the imperial doctors, so naturally he would not object. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Go ahead."
When Jiang Wei turned around, he looked deeply at Han Du.
Han Du touched his chin and smiled secretly: Are you thinking about yourself?
But Handu
He didn't take Jiang Yu seriously. His status in Lao Zhu's heart was incomparable to that of Mao Xiang. Even Mao Xiang had betrayed Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu would not trust Jiang Yu even more now.
Secondly, Han Du is now the Marquis of Zhenhai, and is also the consort of Princess Anqing, the founder of the academy, and a close confidant of Prince Zhu Biao. How can he be afraid of such a small character as Jiang Yu?
Han Du just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, let's go back?"
"Huh? Go back?" Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with some confusion.
Han Du did not want Zhu Biao to stay here. Although Han Du had not gone in to see what the scene was like in this prison, he could guess without looking at Han Du that with the methods of Jiang Yu, a utilitarian lunatic,
The inside is probably no different from hell now.
Even if the people inside are still alive, they probably look like neither humans nor ghosts.
Zhu Biao needs to see beautiful, sunny and positive things now, so as to wash away his low and gloomy mood.
Han Du smiled and said: "Your Highness, the Emperor is still waiting for us to deliver his decree."
Zhu Biao then recalled that after he announced his decree, he still needed to deliver it to his father. He nodded, "Okay, then I will go and deliver my decree to my father."
When Lao Zhu saw Zhu Biao again, he immediately noticed the changes in him. His eyes widened slightly and he glanced at Han Du in surprise.
Han Du smiled and nodded slightly.
The effect was so good? Lao Zhu was a little surprised. Looking at Zhu Biao's changes, he had to believe it.
"Father, my sons and ministers have come to deliver their orders. Thank you very much, Father, for your kindness and pardoning them." Zhu Biao bowed down quickly.
Lao Zhu was very unhappy in his heart, but he kept Han Du's words in mind and not only did not show it, but smiled and nodded: "I am not murderous, it's just that this matter involves your safety, that makes me so angry.
Since you all hope to let them go, I naturally won’t care about them. But this kind of thing only happens once, and it will never happen again in the future, do you understand?"
"My son, I understand." Zhu Shou's tone was filled with gratitude to his father.
Lao Zhu nodded and waved casually, "Get out. Han Du will stay for a while."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Zhu Biao smiled and took a few steps back, turned around and left.
After Zhu Biao left, Lao Zhu looked at Han Du with a smile on his face and asked, "Is Biao'er okay?"
Han Du smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice: "How can it be so easy?"
The smile on Lao Zhu's face disappeared instantly
, asked in a deep voice: "But my look at the mark is no different from usual, and the previous gloomy look has disappeared without a trace."
Han Du sighed secretly, and faced Lao Zhu's full face with expectations, he could only say: "Your Majesty, you should understand that illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. The current appearance of His Highness the Crown Prince can only be said to be the cause of the illness as expected.
But this does not mean that His Highness the Crown Prince is completely fine. If His Highness is like this, it is very likely that he will relapse again after encountering the same thing again."
"Will it relapse?" Lao Zhu's face suddenly became solemn.
If Zhu Biao's disease cannot be cured and will relapse, then how can Zhu Biao be allowed to supervise the country in the future? How can the Ming Dynasty be left to him with confidence?
After all, it is impossible to be an emperor without killing everyone. If this is really the case, then those civil servants will take advantage of him? This is something that Lao Zhu will never accept.
"Then what should we do now?" Lao Zhu asked sharply.
Han Du forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to have a good talk with His Highness the Crown Prince to see if I can change his overly benevolent mind."
Lao Zhu pondered for a while and nodded slowly. Now he could only let Han Du try it first. After all, he didn't have any good ideas.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." At this point, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Han Du, you have never let me down. This time, I hope you will not let me down.
"
"Yes." Han Du replied solemnly, "But this is the first time that I have encountered such hysteria as His Highness the Crown Prince. I can only try again and again. Maybe the time and method will be a little long and strange."
Lao Zhu's face turned dark. After careful consideration, he said, "I'm sure. No matter what your request is, as long as Biao'er can recover, I won't interfere with you."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Han Du replied loudly.
After Han Du said goodbye, he did not go to the East Palace, but went directly back home.
As soon as Han Du came back, An Qing asked with a worried look: "Can you cure the prince's brother's condition?"
Han Du glanced at An Qing strangely, "Who did you listen to?"
Shouldn't the prince's illness be kept strictly confidential? How could even Anqing know about it?
While An Qing undressed Han Du, he replied: "Han Jingyun came back today."
Han Du frowned. He didn't like his sister's behavior. How could such a thing be known to everyone? "Has she told you about the prince's condition?"
