Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 12: No one can have an easy time!

"Who told you to kill the maid named Xiaocui?" Luo Sigong was still asking.

"No one asked me to kill her. It was my own impromptu decision to put the blame on her." Zhang Chonghui replied.

Now that things have happened, Luo Sigong's face doesn't look good. He is no longer as calm and composed as he was at the beginning, and gradually becomes more sinister.

"Who taught you what to say? If you don't tell the truth, I will torture you!"

Faced with Luo Sigong's sudden change of expression, Zhang Chonghui also changed his previous numb endorsement look and said angrily:

"Why are you still using torture on me? I did it all, and I killed the people. Isn't this okay? What do you want? What do you want me to do? You can ask me! I admit them all, okay?"

As soon as Zhang Chonghui said this, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone focused their attention on Luo Sigong.

Luo Sigong felt as if he was being blackmailed by a ghost. He did not expect that he would be teased all over by a six-year-old baby.

Now it's better, everyone must be thinking that he asked the kid to memorize the confession in advance, and then called everyone together to go through the motions.

But he really didn’t!
  "Why don't you continue the trial?" Yu Shenxing held the brush and said with interest: "I have already recorded it."

The scene at this time was what Yu Shenxing wanted to see the most. What he wanted was to write down the absurd interrogation contents and then pass these absurd contents to the emperor.

He wanted His Majesty the Wise Emperor to take a good look at how Qiu Li, Zhang Cheng and others, in order to destroy the Zhang family, actually forced a six-year-old child to admit these outrageous things!

Of course, the purpose of Yu Shenxing's trip did not stop there.

He was entrusted by the chief minister Shen Shixing to come and take care of the Zhang family. At the same time, he was also entrusted by 'another person'.

Yu Shenxing was the same as that person. They didn't believe that a smart person like Zhang Juzheng would not expect to be liquidated after his death!
  Wouldn't a genius who passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen not understand that since ancient times, reformers rarely die well?
  Not only did they not believe it, they all believed that Zhang Juzheng definitely had a backup plan!
  The main purpose of Yu Shenxing's trip was to find out the "backhands" that Zhang Juzheng left to the descendants of the Zhang family!
  At this time, Yu Shenxing was a little gloating about his misfortune, but Zhang Cheng and Qiu Li both had dark faces.

Especially Zhang Cheng, if it weren't for the crowd, he would have asked Luo Sigong why he asked Zhang Chonghui to bear such a ridiculous confession!

You are simply being smart!

"Eunuch Zhang, you are a genius if you ask a six-year-old child to bear such a nonsense confession." Ren Yangxin said jokingly.

"I have been with you in the backyard!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly showed his alibi to everyone to prove that he had no knowledge.

Now, the pressure can only be put on Luo Sigong.

"Who taught you these words?" Luo Sigong walked up to Zhang Chonghui with a cold face, and his sharp eyes seemed to want to cut him open.

"I told you, there is no one to teach you." Zhang Chonghui looked impatient and annoyed.

"No one taught you?" Luo Sigong almost laughed out of anger, "Then why did you burn down the Zhang family ancestral hall? Was it because you wanted to burn yourself?"

Zhang Chonghui shook his head and replied seriously: "I never thought about self-immolation. I set the fire on purpose, because only in this way will you remember that there are still people like us, and only in this way will you pay attention to us. I set the fire to survive." .”

Luo Sigong: "What if we fail to rescue you in time? Aren't you afraid of dying inside?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I'm afraid, but it's not a loss if I die. When things get serious, no one can escape! Even the emperor will be scolded by everyone in the world, and even the old, weak, women and children of the Zhang family will not Willing to let it go!”

"You are so presumptuous!" Zhang Cheng stood up and cursed: "How dare you speak rudely to the emperor! Tell me! Who is the instigator behind you? You want to harm the emperor!"

This time, Zhang Chonghui did not answer, but his eyes seemed to be uncontrollable, drifting towards Yu Shenxing who was in a daze.

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to Yu Shenxing.

"Is it you! Or is it Shen Shixing behind you?" Zhang Cheng directly questioned Shen Xing: "Okay! Shen Shixing also wants to imitate Zhang Juzheng, but it won't work if he says 'I am not a prime minister, but a photographer'!" The incident happened suddenly , Yu Shenxing felt that he could not argue for a while, and even forgot to record it.

"Master Yu, remember to record it in the record, but don't miss a word." Ren Yangxin said jokingly, watching the excitement and not taking any trouble.

Yu Shenxing was at a loss. He didn't know why Zhang Chonghui looked at him inexplicably at that critical moment. This time, it was good, and he was also involved.

Yu Shenxing was unsure. The key was that he didn't know whether Shen Shixing had sent someone else to secretly teach Zhang Chonghui these words.

Recalling the previous dispute with Zhang Cheng and the others, Zhang Chonghui had been listening silently, so the child must have known that he was Shen Shixing's person.

Let alone a six-year-old kid being questioned aggressively by so many adults, it is a very normal behavior for an adult to subconsciously look at his 'teammates' when he is nervous, scared and guilty when questioned by so many people.

"Could it be said that Shen Shixing really sent someone else to teach him?" Yu Shenxing asked doubtfully.

At this point, everyone is doubting. They doubt each other, their teammates, and even themselves.

Still, none of them doubted the six-year-old.

In their eyes, it was impossible for a six-year-old child to do those things, let alone say those words. There must be someone behind the scenes.

Looking at these 'adults' who were suspicious of each other in front of him, Zhang Chonghui sneered in his heart.

He has always believed in one truth, that is: if things are bad to a certain extent, just let it become a complete mess!
  Come on, everyone gets involved, everyone gets messy, the messier the better!
  Don’t let anyone have an easy time!

……

At this point, there is no need to continue the trial like this.

No matter how people press Zhang Chonghui about who is behind it, he always answers: "There is no one behind me, I did it all myself."

Of course everyone didn't believe it.

Qiu Li advocated the torture of Zhang Chonghui, while Yu Shenxing strongly opposed it.

If at the beginning, Yu Shenxing objected to torture because he couldn't bear it, it is different now.

Compared with the unbearable feeling at the beginning, Yu Shenxing is now more afraid that Zhang Chonghui will reveal the person behind it because he cannot bear the punishment.

Especially the person behind it is most likely Shen Shixing, the first assistant.

It was already completely dark, and when things got to this point, everyone had no choice but to end things hastily and leave unhappy.

However, after the show, everyone was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, they returned to their temporary residences and began to write furiously. They wrote to their 'people above' overnight, explaining the strange things that happened today and asking for instructions on what to do next. What to do.

Perhaps because he was afraid of another death, Qiu Li ordered the release of all the Zhang family members who were imprisoned in the torture room of the Intermediate Courtyard. Even so, the Zhang family could only move around in the Zhang family mansion.

After all, although the Jin Yiwei stopped raiding the house, the entire Zhang family was still surrounded, and food was distributed by officials on a regular basis.

Today's Zhang family can be described as "poor and destitute". Everything that could be moved was taken away during the inspection. Those that could not be moved were smashed to pieces by the confiscators.

It was raining heavily in Jiangling, but the sun was shining brightly in the capital.

The 21-year-old Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun was waiting in the capital.
