Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the dark dungeon, the rancid smell pierced the nostrils, and the drops of water dripped down like a note of death.  Zhang Ke, accompanied by Du Qing, arrived at the innermost room of the dungeon.  When they arrived in front of the door, they glanced around and saw Rao crawling out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood. The two of them still gasped.  I saw a person tied to the cross. To be precise, it was just a human figure. The left arm and two thighs were exposed with white bones. There were marks on the chest and back from the iron. There was no good piece of meat. The mouth was horribly swollen.  All the teeth were pulled out.  Only one right arm was left intact, which was reserved for him to write on.  Seeing Zhang Ke coming, the official in charge of interrogation immediately came over and bowed to salute.  "Prince Qi, I have already asked clearly. This person's name is Xuchang, and he is the man sent by Dongchang to break into the thief's tent." "Well, what are they doing?" The official's face showed a troubled look, Du Qing  He immediately glared and shouted angrily: "If there is anything you can't say in front of the prince, just say it!" The official was startled and said hurriedly: "To the prince, this person has brought a secret letter, promising Li Chuang,  As long as Kaifeng is defeated and the prince is killed, he will be named the Eastern King and replaced by you!" "Nonsense!" Hearing this, Du Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes. This joke is too big.  Zhang Ke was His Highness the East King who was ordered to suppress thieves. Instead of helping Zhang Ke, the court actually encouraged Li Zicheng to kill Zhang Ke. They also promised to recruit thieves and made Li Zi the East King!  Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world? No matter how confused Chongzhen was, he would not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!  "It's useless, you dare to show such a ridiculous confession to the prince, why don't you hurry up and re-interrogate me!" The official's face turned pale, and he whispered: "Master Du, I have asked you five times, and he always said this.  "Where is the evidence?" "He said there was a secret message for Li Chuang." "Where is the secret message?" Du Qing asked.  "Of course we are in the thief's camp." "Ridiculous!" Du Qing said angrily: "The thief's camp has been breached. There are fires everywhere. Where can I find the secret message? It's obviously a lie!" "Also!  It may not be a lie." Zhang Ke suddenly spoke, and Du Qing looked at Zhang Ke in confusion.  Zhang Ke walked a few steps in front of the cell door and suddenly sighed: "Compared to driving tigers and devouring wolves, I might be more terrifying in the eyes of the court than Li Zicheng! It's just that he used this clumsy method to put me in danger."  Death is too fanciful." Du Qing was also surprised when he heard Zhang Ke's words.  But if you think about it carefully, this is really the case.  Li Zicheng gathered hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.  But his troops are all a bunch of insignificant mobs. Zhang Ke is different. Over the years, Zhang Ke's armed forces have been at least 300,000, and they are still super elite. All the important towns on the nine sides are controlled by Zhang Ke.  Coupled with the huge economic resources, it was simply overwhelming to the imperial court.  After Zhang Ke entered the Central Plains, he bought people's hearts and resettled the refugees.  Promote overseas immigration and use real money to help victims.  If Li Zicheng and others are killed, the people in the Central Plains will regard Zhang Ke as a living Buddha, just like Liaodong!  "The imperial court has lost Jiubian, Shandong, and Jiangnan. If even the Central Plains is lost, even if Zhang Ke doesn't want to, his subordinates will not agree and will definitely replace him.  So for the Zhu Ming royal family, it would definitely be the best thing for Zhang Ke to die in Kaifeng.  Break out of the shackles of thinking.  Du Qing came to his senses and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, is it true that the emperor is so heartless and unkind and can't wait to deal with the prince?" Zhang Ke was noncommittal.  Instead, he waved his hand and asked someone to open the cell door. He walked up to Xu Chang and coughed twice.  "You can hear what I said. As long as you tell how many accomplices you have, I can let you die immediately. You will avoid suffering, and your family will not be implicated." Zhang Ke said it three times in a row, and the other party seemed to have something.  Noticed, his fingers moved.  Du Qing hurriedly waved, and the interrogation official brought over a pen and paper, and at the same time, he held a bowl of ginseng soup and drank it down for Xuchang.  With his intact right arm shaking, Xu Chang kept scratching on the paper. The handwriting was so scrawled that it was almost illegible. Every time he wrote a few words, he had to stop and take a deep breath.  Zhang Ke waited silently. For almost a quarter of an hour, Xuchang stopped moving.  Zhang Ke put the papers together and finally saw the contents clearly.  It turned out that he was not the same person. In Kaifeng City, beside Hong Chengchou, He Renlong and others, there were also people from Dongchang.  The superiors did not expect to rely on Li Zicheng to kill Zhang Ke, but wanted to use Hong Chengchou and others to kill Zhang Ke.  And put the blame on the bandits, and so on? Zhang Ke's subordinates in various places will definitely be excited and use these people to eradicate the remnants of the rogue bandits.  ¡°In this way, the two guys who threatened the Ming court were all finished.  Especially worth mentioning is that the idea of ??digging up the Yellow River to spread the plague was actually told to Xuchang by his superiors and asked him to give Li Zicheng advice.  After reading this, Du Qing was the first to widen his eyes and gasp in anger.  "The intention is sinister, it is simply vicious to the extreme!" If it weren't for Zhang Ke's excellent methods and ability to control the plague.  Once the plague spreads in Kaifeng, no matter how powerful the Yizhou soldiers are, they will become useless if they catch the disease.  It is even possible that Zhang Ke was infected. If he died in that case, it would definitely be a great thing for Mingting.  Even if they were immortal, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the plague gave Hong Chengchou and others an opportunity.  Attacked from both inside and outside, even if you have an indestructible body, you will inevitably be attacked.  The more he thought about it, the more frightened Du Qing became, and he was also shocked by the insidiousness of the court!  There are hundreds of thousands of Ming people in Kaifeng City. Do they not care?  The more Du Qing thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Xu Chang said that both He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu have a mission to deal with the Prince. I thought it would be better to attack first and kill them!"  Apart from these two people, Hong Chengchou is just a toothless tiger, not worth mentioning. If he wants to take action, he must have a good excuse!" At this moment, one of his men hurried over and said to Zhang Ke: "Your Majesty, He An!  The general's men clashed with He Renlong, and the two sides fought. ""What's going on?" "It's said that He Renlong's men massacred the bandits, killing thousands of people who surrendered.  They piled up into a hill. General He An couldn't stand it anymore and went to stop it. As a result, the two sides started to quarrel." After hearing this, Zhang Ke suddenly frowned and sneered: "Send the order and ask He An and He Renlong to come over immediately.  "Moreover, invite Zuo Liangyu over." "Yes!" The men turned and left.  Du Qing couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "God help me, these two beasts are dead!" (To be continued.)
