Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 322 Sven sweeps the floor
The four screens were removed.

But when the officials, gentry, and scholars who were watching around saw the scene inside the screen, they were dumbfounded for a moment, because the screen inside the screen was completely different from what they had imagined.

In the picture that everyone imagined, it should be Gao Hongtu crying and pleading guilty to Chongzhen on his knees at this time.

But the actual situation inside the screen was that Gao Hongtu was clearly standing behind Chongzhen, and was tightly controlled by the two barons of Yiding, even his mouth was covered.

Only a pair of eyes stared as big as copper bells.

The wide-open angry eyes almost burst into flames.

Before the screen was removed, it was Chongzhen who stared at him.

But after the screen was removed, Gao Hongtu turned his head and cast fierce eyes on Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong, Li Jinglian, and Zuo Guangxian, these bastards.

Judging from his gaze, Gao Hongtu probably had the intention to kill someone.

At this moment, Gao Hongtu really wanted to kill Zuo Guangxian and the four of them, stupid, how stupid!
Seeing this scene, Zuo Guangxian, Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were also stunned for a moment.

what's the situation?How could it be like this?Wasn't the co-author who pleaded guilty to Chongzhen just now?But the eunuch kneeling in front of Chongzhen?
But it was clearly the teacher's voice just now?

Zuo Guang, the first four, and the officials, gentry, and scholars who were watching, all turned their eyes to the eunuch lying on the ground.

I saw the eunuch bent down and got up, first bowed to the surroundings of Mingtang, and then straightened his upper body, the surrounding officials, gentry and gentlemen suddenly exclaimed: Liu Jingting?

"I'm really sorry." Liu Jingting said with a slight smile, "I've made you laugh at the small tricks."

The voice that said this was clearly the voice of Gao Hongtu, and now the answer to the mystery was immediately revealed. It was not Gao Hongtu who co-authored the confession to Chongzhen just now, but Liu Jingting.

When the candle was extinguished, Liu Jingting directly dropped him.

Seeing this, Zuo Guang waited for the four of them to really regret it.

It's a trick, it's a trick!Zhu Youjian is too cunning!It's really hard to guard against!
At this time, Chongzhen waved his hand, and Wu Batan, who was covering Gao Hongtu's mouth, let go of it.

As soon as Gao Hongtu's mouth was free, he began to curse, but it was not Chongzhen who scolded, but Zuo Guangxian, Yuan Pengnian and other three disciples.

"Mr. Zuo Guang, you idiot!"

"Yuan Pengnian, you stupid pig!"

"Liu Zhengzong, and Li Jinglian, I didn't expect that even you are so unwise."

"In your minds, the co-author of the old man is so unintentional. With only a few words from Chongzhen, you can give up the idea that you have insisted on for decades? You guys, I really disappointed the old man."

Zuo Guang waited for the four of them to hear the words first, then sat down on the ground slumped.

But he was quickly picked up by Yi Ding behind him.

Chongzhen sneered, and asked again: "Gao Hongtu, what do you have to say now?"

"Chongzhen, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat. At this point, the old man has nothing to say." Gao Hongtu actually gave Chongzhen a rare thumbs up, and praised, "Emperor Sejong may not be able to do such tricks and calculations." in this way."

Chongzhen said: "In this way, you admit that you instigated Zuo Guang to plant and frame the case of Ma Mingjue and Zhan Yangzhi's collusion with the bandits, and you also instigated Du Hongyu to commit the Yangzhou regicide case under the guise of Yuan Pengnian, right?"

This scene tonight was witnessed and heard by hundreds of officials and thousands of scholars.

So it doesn't matter whether Gao Hongtu admits it or not, but in terms of procedure, it's better for Gao Hongtu to admit it himself.

"That's right, this is all done by the old man." Gao Hongtu was also a bachelor, and at this point, he knew that denying it was pointless, so he simply admitted it generously.

But when the topic changed, Gao Hongtu went on to say: "However, what Liu Mazi said just now is correct. The old man made this bad move for the sake of Ming Guozuo, not for his own selfishness."

"Chongzhen, in front of so many officials and gentlemen tonight,"

"The old man might as well put the words here, the Ming Dynasty is under your rule, and sooner or later it will be defeated by the military! I just hate that the old man can't see that day, it is hateful and hateful."

At this point in the trial, it is already [-]% of the time.

The last [-]% of the fire will have to wait for the fermentation of time, but it can't continue tonight.

Immediately Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Come here, take Gao Hongtu and the others into the prison of Yingtian Mansion! After he confesses to other accomplices and all of them are brought to the case, they will be interrogated together!"

This sentence is very important, other comrades!
The gangster case and regicide have other accomplices!
Gao Hongtu, Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were quickly taken away.

But Yi Ding, who was escorting Zuo Guangxian, ran into trouble. At the south exit of Piyong, he was blocked by Prince Qin's scholars.

Huang Zongxi led a group of Qinwang scholars to block the way, and looked at Zuo Guangxian with an unkind expression.

Zuo Guang was about to piss in fear, but he turned his head and begged the barbarians who escorted him: "Hey, you are the ones who ordered me to be sent to Yingtianfu Prison by imperial decree, don't make any mistakes."

Baron Yiding, who led the team, was Bayanzhen, who knew Huang Zongxi.

Ba Hanzhen first looked back at Mingtang, and found that Chongzhen had left long ago.

Ba Hanzhen knew that Chongzhen would not care about this matter at all, so he immediately said: "Huang Xiaozi, don't beat him to death, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Ying Tianfu."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Baron, you won't die."

Huang Zongxi let out a sinister laugh, then gritted his teeth and roared, "Pull out the old man's beard first!"

A dozen or so scholars immediately rushed up, first grabbed Zuo Guangxian's limbs, making him unable to move, and then began to pluck Zuo Guangxian's beard.

In the square on the south side of Piyong, Zuo Guang's screams like killing a pig were heard very quickly.

Most officials and gentlemen turned a blind eye to this. At this time, Zuo Guangxian had already lost his reputation and became a plague god. Which idiot would stand up and speak for him?
Only Zuo Guangxian didn't know what to do, so he asked for help there.

"Brother Huang, remember that you and I are colleagues, please give me a helping hand to save me."

"Brother Liu, your family and I are relatives by marriage. I am in trouble now, so you must help me!"

"Brother Lu, for the sake of the same year, please ask the Holy One for me. Brother Lu, save me, save me, ah!"

However, the officials and gentry called by Zuo Guang all hid their faces and walked away, avoiding him like a plague god.

In less than a moment, Zuo Guangxian's beard was pulled out completely, and there were bloodstains around his mouth, but Huang Zongxi couldn't understand his hatred, he really hated Zuo Guangxian to the bone.

"Take off the old man's pants!" Huang Zongxi said angrily.

The two princely servants took off Zuo Guangxian's trousers immediately.

"Ah, Huang Zongxi, you are too much, how dare you insult this old man, ah!"

Zuo Guangxian was really blown by the wind, and the decency of the scholar was gone.

An old gentry couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and reprimanded him: "Huang Zongxi, this place is Piyong, a sacred place where Confucian ceremonies are held, how can you and other juniors wantonly desecrate it?"

"Shut up!" Huang Zongxi retorted, staring at his scarlet eyes, "The ancients said that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. I always regard my teacher as my father. When the old man humiliated my teacher like that before, where were you?" ?”

Speaking of this, Huang Zongxi drew out his waist knife loudly and shouted: "The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable. If anyone dares to speak up for Mr. Zuo, please ask me if my steel knife is good!"

"This is really insulting, really insulting!"

The old gentry immediately faltered, turned around and walked to another place.

Huang Zongxi said to Ba Hanzhen again: "Lord Ba Jue, the task of escorting the old man Zuo to the prison of Yingtian Mansion will be done by our scholar camp for you, is there no problem?"

Ba Hanzhen could only smile wryly: "No problem, no problem."

Ba Han really suspected that if he dared to say no, Huang Zongxi might really dare to kill someone.

At that moment, Huang Zongxi said to several scholars: "Tie up old man Zuo, find another donkey cart, tie him to the donkey cart, and take him to Yingtianfu Yamen along Chaoku Street!"

At this time, Nanjing is probably the most prosperous big city in the world.

A sign of prosperity in a big city is whether its nightlife is rich enough?

In terms of nightlife, Nanjing was undoubtedly the most abundant in the world at that time, especially the banks of the Qinhuai River, Chaoku Street, and Gongyuan Street.

When Huang Zongxi came here with Prince Qin and Zuo Guang first, it was the busiest time on Chaoku Street.

Zuo Guangxian, with his bare buttocks tied to a donkey cart, immediately became a scene on the banks of the Qinhuai River, not only the peddlers and pawns on the street, but even the sons who were looking for flowers and willows, and the girls in the brothels Stretching out Zhenshou, first glanced at it, then spat lightly, and lowered the window again.

This time, Zuo Guangxian really lost his reputation and demeanor.

This is Huang Zongxi, how you treat my mentor, I will treat you.

However, Zuo Guangxian was not the only one who swept the floor, but also members of the Donglin Party.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Donglin party members in Nanjing.

Because at the final stage of Piyong's interrogation, Chongzhen had made it clear that he would interrogate Gao Hongtu's accomplices after they were caught. Obviously, there were other accomplices in the planting case and the regicide case.

You say you have no accomplices?Childish, the Holy One said that if you have wings, you have wings.

Who is the accomplice in the planting case and the regicide case? Isn't that just a matter of Gao Hongtu and the others?

The investigation of the framing case and the regicide case is now completely different. Now Gao Hongtu, Zuo Guangxian, and Yuan Pengnian have confessed in front of hundreds of officials, gentry and thousands of scholars, so Ying Tianfu It is completely possible to open the trial, and no one will say that torture is a trick even if he is sentenced at this time.

Donglin party members like Jiang Yueguang and Zhang Youyu didn't believe that Zuo Guang would have the strong bones of his brother Zuo Guangdou first, and Yuan Pengnian and the others probably wouldn't have the strength of his father and grandparents.

When the time comes, won't they all become accomplices?

Therefore, almost all Donglin Party members were in a mess.

People like Qian Qianyi are already thinking of leaving the Donglin Party.
