There was silence in the cell, and Wang Xu tightly shut his mouth without saying a word.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, dripping down his cheeks like rain.

Sun Chuanting and his subordinates looked at him coldly, as if looking at a corpse.

Those followers around are all veterans who came down from the battlefield, and the evil spirit on their bodies is not something ordinary people can bear.

After a while, Wang Xu was frightened.

"Gollum!"

Wang Xu's throat surged, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then he looked at Sun Chuanting cautiously and asked, "If I say so, can I live?!"

Sun Chuanting raised his brows and said, "Live? I don't know about this. If His Majesty wants to kill you by name, then I can't guarantee that you will survive.

If you can tell all the things you know, then I will definitely protect you with His Majesty! "

Sun Chuanting's voice kept hitting Wang Xu's heart.

The temptation to survive made him gasp for breath.

Seeing that Wang Xu had wavered, Sun Chuanting struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said: "If you choose to resist, you will end up dead. If you can tell all the things you know, I think I should be able to keep you with His Majesty." a life.

I have surrendered to His Majesty for a long time, and I have made a lot of contributions. You know your way back, and the influence is not too great. Presumably, Your Majesty should be able to let you live! "

Listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Wang Xu began to struggle in his heart.

The chance of survival was in front of him, but he couldn't guarantee whether Sun Chuanting would keep his promise and would really plead with Sun Jie for him.

Even if Sun Chuanting pleads with Sun Jie, will Sun Jie really let him go?

Before, Cui Xinghe had spoken ill of Sun Chuanting in front of Wang Xu more than once.

What Cui Xinghe said at the time was that although Sun Chuanting was holding a heavy fist now, he was still not Sun Jie's direct descendant, and Sun Jie didn't listen to his advice very much. He basically treated Sun Chuanting like a horse.

And he, Cui Xinghe, is Sun Jie's direct descendant, and he is also a basic player, so of course Sun Chuanting can't compare.

If Cui Xinghe hadn't said these words in front of Sun Chuanting before, then Wang Xu would still believe it.

But being disturbed by Cui Xinghe, Wang Xu was much more worried than before.

Wang Xu is not stupid, if he tells everything, then he will be useless, and he will die at that time.

If you don't say anything, Sun Chuanting's side will definitely have a hard time, so if you say something, you have to say something.

What to say, Wang Xu was a little confused.

If he talked too much, Sun Jie got angry and couldn't live on, and if he talked too little, Sun Chuanting couldn't hide it here.

Wang Xu's brows were tightly frowned, forming a "Chuan" character.

Sun Chuanting was very patient and asked his subordinates to bring a chair over and put it in front of Wang Xu.

He just sat down like this, and asked his followers to move a table, which was filled with sumptuous meals.

This place was not a prison cell before, and the smell inside was milder. Besides, even if this was a prison cell, Sun Chuanting didn't care, and he could still eat food.

He held the bowl in one hand, and picked up vegetables in the other hand, not to mention how casual he looked like that.

Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Wang Xu kept swallowing, his stomach rumbling, obviously extremely hungry.

Of course, Sun Chuanting heard the voice in his stomach, raised his head, and looked at Wang Xu, "What are you insisting on? Just tell me everything you know.
It's not good for any of us to spend it here like this, but I have time, so wait slowly, there will always be times when you can't afford it.When will you speak, when will I give you dinner!
By the way, if you don't speak again after I finish eating, then I will punish you. I hope you can persevere! "

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he put a big chopsticks of rice into his mouth, added a chopsticks of hearty meat and vegetables, and started chewing wantonly.

The soldiers standing next to Sun Chuanting began to wave their whips.

The crackling sound continued to rise in the cell.

Wang Xu fell into the battle between heaven and man.

When Sun Chuanting took the last bite of food, Wang Xu's eyes shrank suddenly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This meal is very comfortable to eat. Now that I have eaten and drank enough, it's time to start doing things!"

Sun Chuanting put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the whip from the soldier next to him, and walked towards Wang Xu.

Wang Xu stared at the whip in Sun Chuanting's hand, and when Sun Chuanting raised the whip high up, and was about to fall on him, he hurriedly shouted: "I say, I say everything, I say everything!"

Sun Chuanting stopped what he was doing, and looked at him with a smile, "That's the best way, the nervousness that must be caused, that's it, tell me everything you know!"

He handed over the leather whip in his hand to his subordinates, and at the same time asked them to start recording.

When all the preparatory work was completed, Sun Chuanting instructed Wang Xu to start talking.

Wang Xu took a deep breath and said: "The thing is like this. At that time, I was doing well in the Shibo Department's Yamen. Suddenly someone said that my housekeeper had an item sent from Jinling. I didn't care about it at the time. Because I knew some people in Jinling before, and my housekeeper also knew some people, I thought it was some acquaintances who remembered some sundries.

But when Wang Wuqi took the things back, I discovered that it was the Bible sent by Tang Ruowang.Tang Ruowang and I are old acquaintances. When he was in Jinling, I also believed in him for a while. The relationship is not very good, but it is not bad. He asked me to help him put these Bibles on the ship going west At the same time, tell the bosses of the ship that when they arrive in the West, someone will buy these Bibles at a high price.

He gave a lot of money, I thought, this is not a big deal, so I helped, I didn't expect these Bibles to come from unknown sources! "

"You said you believed in the religion for a while, so why can't you read the contents of the Bible? Besides, why didn't you report it when you encountered such a thing?" Sun Chuanting asked.

Wang Xu said with a look of fear: "Although I have believed in the religion for a while, the Bibles I read are all translated by Tang Ruowang. I don't know those ghostly symbols at all. Naturally, I can't think that these things are prohibited by His Majesty. , Otherwise, even if I had the guts of a bear, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

"Do the ship bosses know that there is a problem with these bibles? Did Tang Ruowang tell the ship bosses how to pass on these bibles, or in other words, to which countries?!" Sun Chuanting asked again.

Wang Xu continued: "No, Tang Ruowang just said that after arriving in the West, people just need to 'sell classic Bibles at high prices' and people will come to buy them. I don't know that there is a problem with these Bibles, and those boat owners naturally don't know. "

Sun Chuanting heaved a sigh of relief. Since Wang Xu and Chuan Boss didn't know the contents of the Bible, it means that the possibility of Daqin University's knowledge being leaked is unlikely.

However, it is still difficult for Sun Chuanting to verify whether what Wang Xu said is true.

After all, those ship bosses have not been escorted back now, so it is still difficult to verify.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Chuanting said: "Let's stop here first, let's take care of it today!"

Throwing down a word, Sun Chuanting turned and left.

Walk out of the gate and head towards the palace.

At this time, it was getting late, and it would not be long before Sun Jie's residence would be locked.

Walking hastily, he finally arrived at Sun Jie's study.

Sun Jie just finished his dinner, rubbed his stomach, and stood up after speaking, "Let's take a walk outside, here in Jinling, it's been a long time since I walked around properly!"

Sun Chuanting followed Sun Jie to the streets of Jinling.

Looking at the lights of Wanjia in front of him, Sun Jie took a deep breath.

From the beginning of the army to today, what Sun Jie has to do will soon be the scene in front of him?
"How are things going?"

Sun Jie asked.

Sun Chuanting, who was walking behind, quickly said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the leak of the Bible has been investigated. The cause and effect of this matter are closely related. Tang Ruowang has accumulated a lot of secrets over the years through various means, and finally released these things. It is written in the Bible. In order to deceive the inspection, he used the most obscure Latin as the writing. This is also the reason why it is difficult for our people to find out. From the beginning to the end, according to what Wang Xu said, the knowledge of Daqin University It wasn't leaked."

Sun Jie nodded, this is the best.

Compared with the knowledge of Daqin University, a little Wang Xu is nothing at all.

"Before, I felt that there was some kind of connection between Wang Xu and Wu Zhirong. Have you found out this connection?" Sun Jie looked at Sun Chuanting.

"I haven't found out yet!" Sun Chuanting apologized.

Sun Jie did not persecute Sun Chuanting. These two incidents were already weird, and it was not easy to find out in a short time.

"The night is beautiful tonight, come and have a good time with me!"

Sun Jie walked into the night.

In the middle of the night, a tired Sun Chuanting walked into his house.

As soon as he entered, his son Sun Shining greeted him with a solemn face.

Seeing his son like this, Sun Chuanting was puzzled, "What's the matter? What's the matter? Why this expression?!"

"Father, Tong Zhihuan is here!" Sun Shining said hastily.

"Tong Zhihuan?" Sun Chuanting was a little puzzled.

This Tong Zhihuan was an official in the Ming Dynasty back then. He was famous and capable. He was dismissed at home because he offended Wei Zhongxian.

Speaking of which, this person and Sun Chuanting are still fellow villagers, both from Shanxi.

Sun Chuanting later took pity on his ability, just like Sun Jie recommended him and at the same time recruited him himself.

Today's Tong Zhihuan is a member of the council of the Senate and secretarial secretary, with a high position and authority.

But because of his relationship with Sun Chuanting and his background, he usually avoids Sun Chuanting, and hardly has any private contacts with Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting naturally understood Tong Zhihuan's thoughts, so he cooperated very well.

The last time the two met in private was two years ago.

Tong Zhihuan came here rashly tonight, without anyone notifying him in advance, there must be a demon in case of impermanence.

"Why did you come here suddenly? I'm going to change clothes, you arrange it first!"

Sun Chuanting strode forward.

It didn't take long for Sun Chuanting to walk into the living room in Taoist robes and casual clothes.

Under the bright light, I saw Tong Jihuan's sad and wrinkled face.

Before people walked in, Sun Chuanting spoke first.

"Brother, long time no see!"

The voice is neither loud nor low, there are not many false politeness, it is casual and ordinary.

Tong Zhihuan, who was drinking tea, heard the voice, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and greeted him.

"Brother Sun, it's been a long time coming, so please forgive me for coming here tonight!" Tong Zhihuan cupped his hands.

Sun Chuanting waved his hands indifferently, and said, "Please take a seat, my brother is no more reserved than me!"

After sitting down, Sun Chuanting didn't say any false politeness or gossip, and went straight to the point, straight to the point.

"You and I have a special relationship. We came here tonight, but what's the matter?" Sun Chuanting asked.

Tong Zhihuan said: "Brother Sun, logically speaking, the relationship between you and me should not meet in private, but now, I have to come!"

"How?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"Do you know what the market says about you today? Do you know what we ministers of the former Ming say about you?!" Tong Zhihuan said worriedly.

This made Sun Chuanting a little puzzled.

Didn't the market say that Shaanxi officials hated Sun Chuanting? Why did it suddenly change?

Seeing Sun Chuanting's puzzled look, Tong Zhihuan explained: "Wu Zhirong, logically speaking, was a minister of the former Ming Dynasty. He died. No one believed the explanation given at that time. You can't deny it, right?!"

"Wu Zhirong is really not a good thing. I don't need to explain this, right? Business is business, but it shouldn't be mixed with other things, right?!" Sun Chuanting frowned.

"I know what you're thinking, and I know how much you hate forcing people into that category, but, Brother Sun, times have changed.

Ever since the incident of Wu Zhirong broke out, those of us ministers of the former Ming Dynasty and officials from Shaanxi have changed.

You and Mr. Lu are both ministers of the former Ming Dynasty, and both of them are in high positions. Those officials from Shaanxi didn't deal with us very much.

Originally, Your Excellency still had the support of us ministers of the former Ming Dynasty, but Wu Zhirong's sudden sudden death separated you from the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Now all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are in danger. On the top of the minister's head.

Although the lord doesn't pay much attention to these things, these ministers of the former Ming Dynasty still regard the lord as the leader and silently support the lord. " Tong Zhihuan's voice became very small, but the earnestness in his tone was clearly discernible.

Sun Chuanting fell into silence.

Ever since he surrendered to Sun Jie, he had never thought about such a thing.

In his opinion, it is enough to do things well, regardless of background or camp, as long as you have the ability, as long as you are willing to do things, you will naturally be reused.

But Tong Zhihuan's words today caused ripples in his peaceful heart.
