Chapter 197 The King of Han’s Interrogation

Zhu Song waved his hand with full force: "Everyone, get up. I am going to see Mr. Qi and Mr. Huang."

After Zhu Song finished speaking, the jailers made a way and entered the cell. Another person came to lead the way. Qian Tong stood behind Zhu Song and followed step by step. It didn't take long before several people went down to the underground third floor of the prison.

layer.

This cell is also divided into levels. Generally, criminals who commit rebellion will be locked up in cell No. 1. There is a huge well in the courtyard of Jinyiwei. It has been dug for many years in the past few years. How did it be dug in the early years?

No water could be pumped out, so it was simply converted into a prison.

There is only one way out of Tianzi No. 1 cell, which is the wellhead. A small cage is tied with ropes to transport people up and down.

The prisoners in Building No. 1 in Tianzi don't need to be locked, and they can roam freely inside without fear of them escaping, because the walls of the well are so smooth that they look like a mouse thrown into a vat.

This is according to the charges that the Yongle Dynasty imposed on Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng. Although their crimes did not constitute rebellion, from the perspective of Emperor Yongle, their crimes were much more serious than rebellion. However, the reason why they were not thrown into the sky was

In Cell No. 1, there was really no danger because these two adults were powerless.

According to Jin Yiwei, who personally captured the two adults, Mr. Huang Zicheng hid under the firewood of the villagers. The villagers mistook him for a Japanese pirate and caught him and beat him up.

After the beating, I saw that this gentleman was still wearing official uniform. Where are the Japanese pirates?

As for Mr. Qi Taiqi, that's even more interesting. He ran all the way to Zhejiang just to find soldiers and horses that could go to Beijing to protect the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by a group of bandits on the way.

.

At that time, the bandits saw that they had captured an official, and that he was a high-ranking official of the imperial court wearing a red official uniform. They thought he must be rich, so they thought of tying him into a meat ticket and asking the imperial court for money.

Later, the Jin Yiwei who arrested the person followed the traces into the village. At this time, the bandits were really unlucky. They happened to bump into the person Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest. In the end, there was no one left alive in the entire village.

Even the chickens in the cottage were killed by Jin Yiwei.

Of course, he is not murderous. Jin Yiwei is also a human being. He brought this cottage and brought a lot of food down. These big guys have to eat. They traveled thousands of miles from Yingtian to Zhejiang to kill a few chickens for everyone.

Is it normal to eat meat?

In short, if the Jin Yiwei hadn't arrived earlier, I'm afraid these two adults would have been killed by the villagers or bandits.

Zhu Song looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai in the two adjacent cells from a distance, and gave an order to have Huang Zicheng taken to the secret room next to the Jinyiwei dungeon.

There is a high window in the secret room, and the light from behind the window can just fall on the prisoner. The prisoner is tied and sitting on a chair, and Zhu Song is carefully looking at Huang Zicheng in the shadow at this moment.

Even though Mr. Huang was caught and made a prisoner, he did not cry or howl in fear. He was very quiet in the building. He did not ask the emperor to spare my life, or to kill me and spare my family.

shit.

At this moment, Lord Huang is sitting on the chair, looking extremely calm, and his eyes are indeed a little sad, but other than that, he really doesn't look like an imperial criminal waiting to be executed by the Nine Clans.

"Master Huang, are you very calm?"

Zhu Song's voice sounded slowly in the darkness.

Huang Zicheng raised his head and looked at the shadow in front of him. He never expected that someone was already waiting in the secret room.

"I have met Qian Tong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, a few times. Qian Tong's voice is not like this. He is too young. Who are you?"

"Hahaha……"

"Sir Huang should know who I am. Although I have never met Mr. Huang, I have been friends with Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi for a long time. It can also be said that we have been fighting each other for a long time."

After hearing this, Mr. Huang frowned, thinking carefully in his mind to guess who this person was, but he couldn't figure it out after guessing.

"If you are willing to reveal your identity and interrogate me openly, I would welcome it. If you insist on hiding in the shadows and being a mouse, I don't care."

"Anyway, don't try to get me to plead guilty. We are not the traitors!"

After Zhu Song heard this, he smiled slightly, then got up and walked slowly to the bright area.

When Huang Zicheng saw that the person in front of him was so young and wearing the official robe of the commander of the Royal Guards, he was slightly surprised, but he soon thought of who this person was.

"You have been promoted to Jin Yiwei at such a young age. I am afraid that you are the King of Han, Zhu Song, who is helping the evildoers."

Zhu Song hugged his shoulders and kept pacing around Huang Zicheng.

"The word "helping the emperor to harm others" is so well used, Mr. Huang, I wonder if you ever thought at that time, if you hadn't been so tight in the court, why would we have taken this path?"

"Actually, it's quite understandable that you want to cut down the vassal king. As the emperor and his courtiers, Emperor Jianwen was very dissatisfied with the vassal kings all over the world. He wanted to make adjustments. He is the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't encourage slander and drive people to death. You said that the King of Zhou had no other hobbies and no ability to lead troops in war. He usually just likes to cook some herbs at home.

When I have nothing to do, I will go to the homes of poor people and give them free medical treatment.”

"This is a great thing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. What about you? They were demoted to common people and the whole family rushed to Yunnan. The journey was difficult. King Zhou's son got sick and had no money to buy medicine. Princess Zhou sold jewelry and then bought

He took the medicine and cured his son's illness."

"Let's talk about Dai Dai Wang again. He has the ability to lead troops to fight, otherwise he would not be named the King of Sai. He has been doing a good job in Datong. You really can't find his black spots and pin one on him.

You are not willing to even think about the specific illegal things that people have done and whether there is any evidence?"

"What's the difference between you and Qin Hui? There is no need to do anything illegal, you are really the standard match for a traitorous minister."

"As for me, since I came to Kaiyuan, I have been diligent and conscientious. Before I went to Kaiyuan, what kind of virtue was Kaiyuan? You officials who have never been to a bitter and cold place are in a land of plenty.

Officials, you can’t understand that there are thousands of miles of fertile land but not a hundred miles of inhabited people!”

"After I arrived in Kaiyuan, I worked hard to manage it. I led the people to cultivate the land. I offered extremely generous conditions to let the people who were living in Kaiyuan go home and guard and build their hometown together. It was me who

I built Kaiyuan’s city defenses, and it was me who single-handedly organized Kaiyuan’s current army of more than 100,000 people!”
