Chapter 529 The Strange "Street Fight"

Inside the prison, Zhou Yanru sat upright with gauze wrapped around his head.

This is the fifth day of his "hunger strike".

As the leader of the Donglin Party, after being imprisoned by the emperor, he naturally had to maintain his character and set an example for the Donglin people in the world.And the hunger strike protest, oh no, it should be a hunger strike to show his ambition, which is an important part of his display of his strength.

Not long after, the cell boss came over with fresh meals.

"Master Zhou, it's time to eat." The cell boss said with a smile.

As usual, Zhou Yanru said disdainfully, "Since Zhou has been imprisoned, he can no longer be called an 'adult'. Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have to die, and Zhou has decided to show his will by death. No need to bother."

The cell boss laughed again, apparently Zhou Yanru's "resolute" aura did not affect his mood in the slightest.

He opened the door, entered the cell with several other brothers, and said, "Master Zhou, then let's stick to the old rules and let the brothers feed you?"

Zhou Yanru said angrily, "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude?"

The jailer smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, we know that you are strong and strong, right? Come, come, let's serve dinner!"

After all, several jailers immediately stepped forward and held Zhou Yanru down, while the cell boss took out a special tool to open Zhou Yanru's mouth, and stuffed spoonfuls of porridge into it.

While stuffing it, he said, "Master Zhou, today is meat and bone porridge. Don't worry, we will remove the bones for you. As for the meat, we will also chop it up for you. You can laugh without chewing."

Zhou Yanru struggled desperately, at first he seemed to be cursing something, but he gave up resistance after a while, and drank the porridge in a cooperative manner.

There were mocking smiles on the faces of several jailers.

They are genuinely amused.

I have to go through this procedure every time I eat, isn't this old man too tired?

If you really don't want to eat it, just spit it out, or if you don't swallow it, no matter how much my brother stuffs it, it won't matter?

You obviously enjoyed the meal, but you insist on acting like you don't want to eat it. Do you think you're a whore?
"Hey, Mr. Zhou looked at that chicken leg, hurry up, chop it up!" said the old man.

A jailer immediately started, sliced ​​a piece of meat from the chicken leg, chopped it up, and sent it to Zhou Yanru's mouth.

Zhou Yanru had a good expression on his face, it seemed that the drumsticks were quite to his liking.

After a quarter of an hour, the jailers finally completed their task.

The prison chief withdrew the tools, told the brothers to let go of Zhou Yanru, and then said with a smile as usual, "Master Zhou, the brothers withdraw first, and you use the rest slowly. If there is not enough, then tell us."

As usual, Zhou Yanru kicked over the leftover food, then pointed at the guards and cursed.The jailers didn't care, anyway, this is one of the procedures, the old man likes to scold people after dinner, so let him go.

Zhou Yanru stopped scolding when he saw the jailers walking away, he hiccupped lightly, and touched the oil on the corner of his mouth.

Today's porridge is a bit salty.

Then, he continued to sit upright and went on a hunger strike.

If things go on like this, he will have no problems at all during the three to five years of his "hunger strike".

At this time, Wang Dehua came.On his hand was a yellow object, Zhou Yanru could tell at a glance that it was an imperial decree.

He suddenly became nervous, what decision did the emperor make?Will he kill me?According to the crime the emperor said before, he would be executed by Ling Chi, and punish the nine clans!

"The imperial decree has arrived, Zhou Yanru accepts it!" Wang Dehua shouted softly.

Zhou Yanru knelt down in fear, kowtowed politely, and said, "Chen, oh no, Xiaomin Zhou Yanru accepts the order!"

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said that although Zhou Yanru violated the courtiers' etiquette and was reckless, he thought that his heart was in the safety of the Ming Dynasty, and it was understandable. After thinking about it, I deeply felt his heart, promoted him to his original post, and added the crown prince. Grand Tutor, to show my love. I respect you!"

Zhou Yanru was overjoyed after hearing this, and involuntarily showed a smug smile.

Hmph, the emperor is still afraid of me, Dong Lin.It should have been like this a long time ago, he should know that in this world, besides us, Donglin, who can help him guard, who else can help him?

Thinking of this, he said unhurriedly, "I, Zhou Yanru, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"

After finishing speaking, he took the imperial edict triumphantly, and then said to Wang Dehua in a neutral manner, "Thank you, my lord."

Seeing Zhou Yanru's expression, Wang Dehua sneered in his heart: Hehe, this idiot doesn't even know how he died.

After Zhou Yanru received the imperial decree, he didn't go home to wash up, but went directly to the imperial study, saying that he wanted to see Chongzhen.

He just wanted Chongzhen to see what he was like now, to show his "unyielding" spirit.

After Chongzhen let him into the imperial study, he asked Zhou Yanru for a while, which made Zhou Yanru feel that the emperor was "behaved" a lot, which made him very relieved.

If the emperor can learn from this lesson, he will be "sensible"!

After exchanging pleasantries, Chongzhen got to the point, saying that he had considered it carefully and felt that Zhou Yanru's impeachment of Qin Shuhuai was not unreasonable, and now he was going to send someone to investigate the matter from three sides.

Zhou Yanru was even more overjoyed, calling the emperor wise.

Chongzhen said again, "But the person who goes to investigate needs to be a person who is upright and not influenced by external forces, and this person needs to know how to march and fight, and also need to know how to govern officials. What does Zhou Qing think?"

Zhou Yanru nodded naturally, "I think what the emperor said is very true. We can neither indulge Qin Shuhuai nor wrong him."

Chongzhen asked again, "So, in my opinion, Zhang Yijia, the governor of Baoding and the Qing official of the Ministry of War, was assigned to take charge of this investigation. What does Zhou Qing think?"

When Zhou Yanru heard that they were from Donglin, he immediately responded, "Your Majesty is wise, and my ministers seconded my proposal!"

I thought to myself, Qin Shuhuai, what tricks can you do this time?Hehe, in just a few days, you will change from a unparalleled hero to a bear who abandoned the city and fled and lied about his military achievements!This time, let's settle the old and new accounts together!

In Ankang City.

After dawn that day, He Kegang formally ordered the entire army to advance from the west city to the east city, and to kill any rogues on the way.

The official army divided the team into twenty groups, with heavy cavalry clearing the way in front, and shield soldiers guarding on both sides. The twenty teams covered each other and advanced side by side.If you encounter a narrow alley or alley, you should surround it first, and the archers and crossbowmen stand on the roof before the infantry on the ground enters the search

However, they carefully spent a whole day searching from the west of the city to the east of the city, and from the south to the north of the city. They searched almost every corner of the city, but they didn't find a single rogue!
The [-] rogues in Ankang City seemed to have evaporated overnight, without a trace!

Did the government army occupy Ankang City, one of Gao Yingxiang's three old lairs, without bloodshed?
