My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 301
The Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, commonly known as the Sky Prison by the people, is not much less terrifying than the Imperial Prison. The prisoners who are eligible to enter the Sky Prison are almost all serious criminals, and many of them are waiting to be executed in the autumn.

Zhu Zhanhe often went to the Imperial Prison, but this was the first time he came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"My son, please see that this is the place where the Japanese pirates are being held. They are being interrogated now, but no matter what the result is, these Japanese pirates are usually executed."

Lu Yuan, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, introduced Zhu Zhanhe as he walked.

"Has Ge Chengerlang been interrogated?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously.

"The first one was him who interrogated him, but this Ge Cheng Erlang was very stubborn and refused to say anything. Instead, he insisted on meeting His Majesty. He didn't know what to say!"

At the end of Lu Yuan's speech, he also said with a look of disdain.

What qualifications does a mere pirate have to meet His Majesty the Emperor?
Zhu Zhanhe also laughed when he heard the words, that Ge Cheng Erlang really took himself too seriously, let alone him, even if he was an official of Ming Dynasty, he didn't say that he could see Zhu Di if he wanted to.

While talking, the two came to an interrogation room, and saw a Japanese pirate tied to a wooden shelf in the room, with whip marks all over his body, who had obviously been tortured, which is also the norm in prisons in this era, Zhu Zhan He has long been familiar with it.

"Here comes another one. Seeing how young you are, you must not be the emperor of Ming Dynasty, right?"

Although Ge Cheng Erlang was bruised and bruised, he was in good spirits, so he looked at Zhu Zhanhe and asked back.

"Ge Cheng Erlang, you dare to be so presumptuous when you are about to die!"

Lu Yuan immediately scolded.

"I'm not going to die. If you let me meet your Ming emperor, he will definitely not kill me!"

Ge Chengerlang said again with a chuckle.

"Are you so sure you won't die?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at the other party, and then asked curiously.

"who are you?"

"This is His Highness the Prince of Han!"

Lu Yuan introduced Zhu Zhanhe.

"Heir of the King of Han?"

Ge Cheng Erlang was taken aback when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's identity, and then said a little excitedly.

"I've heard of you, you are the grandson of Emperor Ming!"

"You keep saying you want to see Grandpa Huang, what is the reason?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked.

"This one……"

Ge Cheng Erlang hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.

"Okay, since your emperor doesn't want to see me, it's the same if I tell you the matter."

Seeing that Ge Cheng Erlang said this, his eyes became sharp all of a sudden, he stared at Zhu Zhanhe and said: "You must let me go back!"

"Joke, who do you think you are, as long as the Japanese pirates captured by my Ming Dynasty, there is no precedent for returning alive!"

Before Zhu Zhanhe could speak, Lu Yuan next to him sneered and scolded.

"Hey, I know you Daming hate us Japanese pirates very much, but I'm different from those idiots, because I left myself a hole card to save my life!"

Ge Chengerlang also showed a complacent expression when he finished speaking.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhanhe's face darkened, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, I have been in the coast of Daming for more than ten years, during which time I looted the coast of Daming many times. In addition to food and property, I also looted a lot of people in Daming!"

When Ge Chengerlang said the last sentence, he deliberately emphasized the tone of the word "common people".

"Those people..."

When Zhu Zhanhe said this, his expression became very solemn, and he already guessed what Ge Chengerlang's so-called life-saving hole card was.

"That's right. Most of the people who looted are still alive. I imprison them and help us work. Roughly speaking, there are about 1000 people. If you kill me, these people will definitely be killed by my brothers." Die, let them be buried for me!"

Ge Chengerlang said proudly again.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe's face darkened, Ge Chengerlang even threatened himself with the looted people!

No wonder Ge Chengerlang didn't mention this hole card before. He was probably afraid that others would find out, and the soldiers below would kill him directly if they didn't listen to his threats. threat.

"His Royal Highness, the lives of more than 1000 people are exchanged for mine. What do you think of this deal?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe remained silent, Ge Cheng Erlang was also secretly happy, and immediately spoke again.

"What a despicable and shameless villain, to threaten the lives of the common people!"

Lu Yuan next to him couldn't listen anymore, and immediately pointed at Ge Cheng Erlang and scolded angrily.

"Hey, you Daming call us pirates, since we are all thieves, of course we can do anything!"

Ge Chengerlang said again without any guilt.

For a person like him, as long as he can save his life, no matter how despicable and shameless the method is, he can use it for himself.

"Wait, you've already been arrested, even if your Japanese pirates escape, will they still listen to you obediently?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly raised his head and asked Ge Chengerlang.

As far as he knows, the Japanese pirates have no faith at all, and the strong are king internally. Ge Cheng Erlang was defeated and arrested, and he might be abandoned by his subordinates immediately. Maybe the Japanese pirates have already elected a new leader.

"My lord, you underestimate me. I can take the position of leader not only because I am better than others, but more importantly, because I know how to employ people. Every time I go to sea, I will hand over my old nest to my own brother. , He was brought up by me, and I took him over from the Wa country after I came to Daming, and our brotherly relationship is extremely deep, even if I was arrested, he would definitely try his best to save me!"

Gecheng Erlang explained again.

"Where is your lair?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again.

This time Ge Cheng Erlang kept silent, apparently unwilling to tell the truth.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still interrogate your subordinates. They won't all be tough, there will always be someone who is willing to confess, and as long as you find your lair, the imperial court can naturally send a large army to wipe out your younger brother and those people!"

Zhu Zhanhe said again with a sneer.

"It's useless, I have already agreed with my brother, if I am unfortunately caught, if you don't let me go, but send a large army, then he will kill everyone to be buried with me!"

Ge Chengerlang said proudly again.

"Really, if he kills everyone, then he and the Japanese pirates under him will also be executed by our army. I don't think they will risk their lives to save you!"

Zhu Zhanhe stared at Ge Chengerlang's eyes and said again.

"I admit that there is indeed such a possibility, but it is also possible that my younger brother will drag everyone to be buried with me for me. Do you dare to take this risk?"

Ge Chengerlang grinned and asked back with a cruel smile.
