My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 277 The crime of ten thousand deaths

  Although Erhe didn't recognize the scattered bones, he saw the shattered spiritual tablet.

  The word "Li Chengxi" is written on the spiritual seat.

  When he saw this spiritual tablet, his body shivered.

   Then the face became distorted.

  Zhang Anshi stood up, walked forward, but stepped on a broken bone with his toe, stared at Zhang Erhe and said, "Don't you recognize this person?"

  He pressed questions sentence by sentence.

   It seems that at this time, everyone in the hall has seen the strangeness on Zhang Erhe's face.

  Zhang Erhe shook his head and said, "I... I don't know."

  Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "Sure enough, he is insane. Now, he doesn't even recognize his ancestors. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize him. Do you know who this... is?"

  Zhang Erhe lowered his head, trying to hide his anger and fear, but he didn't dare to show his anger.

Zhang Anshidao: "Li Chengxi was the backbone of the White Lotus Sect in the early years. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the attitudes of the various White Lotus Sects were different. Some chose to cooperate with the Yuan Dynasty government, and some took it as their mission to oppose the Yuan Dynasty. Among them, Li Chengxi, But they only focus on preaching about avoiding the world, and the so-called avoiding the world is actually nothing more than silently making a fortune, fooling the people, and making money."

"However, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the remnants of the White Lotus that cooperated with the government were killed because of the downfall of the Mongols. Most of the White Lotus Sect against the Yuan Dynasty fell silent. Only this branch of Li Chengxi remained alone. , although the imperial court has attacked him, Li Chengxi has gradually become silent since then, and after his death, he had a son and a daughter, and he was nowhere to be found..."

  Zhang Anshi laughed harder, looked at Zhang Erhe and said, "These...do you know?"

  Zhang Erhe said: "You...you..."

  Although he tried his best to hide it, the resentment in his eyes could not be deceived.

   "Li Chengxi is your father. I have already had his coffin opened and his body killed. As a son of man, do you still want to cover it up?"

  Zhang Erhe tremblingly said: "I...I don't know what you are talking about?"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Hey, you still don't understand the truth after all, and you don't even think about it. Since Jin Yiwei can find out the location of your state and county, it must be able to find out your father's line, and if you find out your father's line, then your In fact, the whole family has nothing to hide. Li Chengxi's cemetery has always been taken care of by someone, and every time we go to Chongyang, someone will go to visit the grave."

"Of course, you won't go. Since you plan to be a fairy, you must not show your face easily. But in Juzhou, there are a group of people who go there every year and festival. These... In fact, you can find out if you check it. People, who claim to be Zhang, do not know what kind of business they are doing, but they are extremely wealthy. One of them is called Zhang Wusheng. He should be your son. He was lucky and gave birth to five grandchildren for you. In Juzhou, Live like a fairy."

  Zhang Erhe's voice began to be sad: "You...you..."

Zhang Anshi said: "You let your children and grandchildren change their appearance, stay away from the White Lotus Sect, and enjoy the glory and wealth in Juzhou. This is because you know very well that activities like the White Lotus Sect may capsize at any time. Not only may they be hit by the government, And even internally, if the wrist is not strong enough to convince the public, it may not end well!"

"You have done all the unconscionable things, but you want your children and grandchildren to be innocent, so you let them live in Juzhou. Not only that, but also like other gentry, set up countless lands, and follow the example of others, Poetry and book heirs, educate your children and grandchildren to be able to study and become officials. One of your grandsons is already a scholar, isn't he?"

  Zhang Erhe's voice trembled so much that he didn't know how to reply.

Zhang Anshi said coldly: "It's really a conspiracy, all the roads have been paved! Even if one day you really fail, your descendants will still have endless glory and wealth. Since you are a god, then... I I want to see and see. Someone...bring me that Zhang Wusheng."

  A moment later, someone came in escorting a man in his 30s. This man is fat and fair-skinned, but his face is ashen at this moment, he dare not look at Zhang Erhe, he only lowers his head.

  After entering, the man immediately knelt down and said, "Excuse me!"

  Zhang Anshi did not even look at him, and only uttered one word: "Cut!"

   Finished speaking.

  With a clang, a long steel knife fell down.

  After the silver light, this Wu Sheng immediately fell to the ground.

  He rolled his head on the ground, and at the incision, the blood mist sprayed and cut open, and the blood filled the air.

  Everything is crisp and clean.

   Zhang Wusheng, who was decapitated in a different place, immediately fell into a pool of blood.

  Zhang Anshi didn't dare to look at the pool of blood. He was kind-hearted and dizzy with blood, so he simply focused all his attention on Zhang Erhe: "Aren't you a god? Come, can you teach him to come back from the dead?"

  Zhang Erhe was struck by lightning, all this happened too fast.

  He didn't even have time to take a second look at Zhang Wusheng, and even Zhang Anshi, even Zhang Wusheng didn't go to interrogate him, and immediately killed him here with a beheading.

  He began to become extremely sad, his mental defenses seemed to be collapsing, his body was crumbling, it seemed that in an instant, everything in this world was meaningless.

Zhang Anshi said: "If you can't teach him to come back from the dead now, then... I'm going to kill Zhang Wusheng. You know in your heart that since I have captured Zhang Wusheng, the whole family of Zhang Wusheng has already been detained together." Come on, do you want to try it?"

  Zhang Erhe is out of his wits.

  At this moment, looking at the scattered bones on the ground, looking at the head on the ground, he had a sad face and tears welled up in his eyes.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't feel any sympathy for this person's tears.

  Zhang Erhe seemed to have exhausted all his strength before finally making a sound, saying: "You are so vicious, you have such vicious hearts."

  He said in his mouth: "How can you be like this, how can you be like this..."

   Zhang Anshi is not in a hurry now, he wants to wait for Zhang Erhe to tell the truth obediently after his next mental breakdown.

  But at this moment, someone shouted: "No matter how vicious you are, it can't match you."

Everyone was startled, but Chen Daowen, who escorted Zhang Erhe, finally couldn't hold back: "Don't you know how many people you killed? You fooled the people and taught them to send countless money to you. How many people don’t even have enough to eat. You and your party members use ghosts and gods to frighten them. They save money every day in exchange for the talisman water you gave. Those who are seriously ill don’t seek medical advice. But they are begging on you and offering all the money, have you really saved them? But people are dead, you and your party members are just fooling around, saying that they will have a good pregnancy in the next life."

   "In your so-called cave, how many women who were abused by you are hidden... You have done too many outrageous things, and now that the retribution has finally come to your own head, how dare you have the face to say such a thing?"

  Chen Daowen was so angry that he roared out, but in the end...but he desperately suppressed his emotions and closed his mouth.

Zhang Anshi said: "Now that things have come to an end, after all, I have been extraordinarily merciful to this Wu Sheng, and gave him a happy time, but next, if you still deny it here, then it will not be such a happy time, even if you don't care about yourself , and you have to take care of your own relatives, you don’t want to watch them survive or die, do you?”

  Zhang Erhe couldn't hold back his tears, and finally said: "I...I...I am Li Xizhou, who is called the father of Buddha in the White Lotus Sect, and she...she is my sister, the mother of Buddha..."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent. They stared at Zhang Erhe, unable to imagine that the fairy-like figure in the legend was so ordinary.

  Outside the hall, someone broke down and said hysterically: "No, no...he is definitely not a Shangxian, definitely not a Shangxian..."

  It turned out that many followers of the White Lotus Sect who secretly worshiped the White Lotus Sect also came to watch the excitement. Naturally, they never believed that the Shangxian would be captured by the court, so... they came purely with the mentality of watching a joke.

   But now this person actually admits that he is a Buddha father, how can they bear it in their hearts?

  Outside the hall, many people seemed to collapse, their eyes were red, and they shouted wildly: "No, this is a liar, he is definitely not the Buddha, the Buddha has boundless power... definitely not..."

   They howled hoarsely, wearily, like mad.

Many times...it is indeed the case. People who are deceived donate everything they have. Some dedicate their daughters to the backbone of the White Lotus Sect, some donate their life savings, and some sell their fields. The land was sold just to get some of the talismans bestowed on them.

   Many of these people already have nothing, and some of them just believe that they have given everything, and the gods will surely protect themselves from disasters and disasters.

How dare a group of people who have nothing dare to believe that for so many years, they dare not even eat a bite of meat on weekdays, and they are reluctant to grab medicine when they are sick. The money they have accumulated bit by bit, humbly dedicates everything they have to Others, what they get in exchange is just a joke?

   "Impossible, absolutely impossible! No way, no way!" Someone raised his arms and shouted, with tears in his eyes, and even began to mutter.

  So, immediately a captain rushed forward and restrained him.

   But there were quite a few people like this. Out of the hundreds of people outside, nearly half of them got mixed up. All of a sudden, the place became chaotic.

   There were also people who were not excited, but just stayed in place as if they were frozen, motionless, their lips twitched, as if they would never believe what happened in front of them.

Zhang Anshi ignored them, and even when the captains were about to **** them away, Zhang Anshi even ordered: "This is an innocent citizen, you don't have to be regarded as a partisan, and you don't have to be detained. If you still dare to make noise, just drive them away. Willing to listen, but still let them stay here."

   Zhang Anshi just explained.

   Zhang Erhe smiled wryly after hearing this, and only then did he realize that he had lost everything.

  If Zhang Anshi becomes angry and orders suppression, it means that he still has a bargaining chip.

  However, Zhang Anshi disdained the so-called mobs of the White Lotus Sect, and did not even bet on them. This shows that the imperial court has enough confidence to control the situation. At least for the general congregation, the imperial court is not afraid of causing any trouble.

This Erhe, no, this Li Xizhou said: "My father is indeed...it is Li Chengxi. He brought us brothers and sisters into the business. After his death, some people will regard our brothers and sisters as the main. The land was smashed into a pot of porridge, and the corvee of the people was very heavy. At that time... we used this to grow, I... I revised some scriptures of the White Lotus Sect, and widely set up white lotus priests in every state and county in the world. These years... these years... can be regarded as Flourishing…”

  Zhang Anshi sneered, sat back in his seat, and continued: "I know all of this, what I want to know is... What other scandalous things have you done?"

   "I... collected money... When I fell in love with someone's daughter, I told them that she had a demonic obstacle... I also colluded with many people... I..."

   Zhang Anshi listened to this, with resentment in his eyes and an unconcealable disgust, but he said: "Tell me about the matter of Zhongdu."

  This...is the most important thing.

  Li Xizhou shuddered, he murmured and dared not speak further.

  Zhang Anshidao: "Why... in the mausoleum of Fengyang, the central capital, you can easily enter and exit, and why can you retreat completely?"

  Li Xizhou hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Fengyang...the **** of Fengyang...opened the door and led the way."

  In the ear room on the side, Zhu Di shuddered when he heard this.

  He was so angry that he wanted to rush out of the ear room several times, but in the end, he calmed down.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi said: "Why are they leading the way?"

"The eunuchs don't have a small family, and they are counting on their next life... What's more, the eunuchs sent to Fengyang are mostly neglected in the palace. They are free on weekdays. Therefore, when someone preaches to them, they are extraordinarily pious..." Li Xizhou said .

  After hearing this, Zhang Anshi turned cold and said, "Not good."

  He suddenly took the case, and then shouted: "Where is the Forbidden City, where is it in the Forbidden City?"

  Li Xizhou looked at Zhang Anshi in despair.

   Seeing Zhang Anshi's sudden reaction became extremely intense, everyone was a little confused.

  Zhang Anshi asked sharply, "Who is...in the Forbidden City?"

  The resentment in Li Xizhou's eyes flashed away, but he said: "I...I don't know..."

  Zhang Anshi was furious, he picked up the gavel on the case, and flew straight towards Li Xizhou.

  The gavel hit Li Xizhou directly on the head, and he felt the pain, ahhh, and hugged his head.

But Zhang Anshi said anxiously: "Sentence, punishment, use all the punishments available to me, for Li Xizhou, his sister, and the rest of the captured... for Li Xizhou's grandson I'm going to sentence!"

  Zhang Anshi shouted.

  Suddenly became hysterical, Zhang Anshi's eyes were red, like an angry lion.

   All of this was too sudden, but when Zhang Anshi gave an order, the captains did not hesitate any longer.

Zhang Anshi turned around, looked at Wu Zhong, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, and said, "Masters, you have serious business to do now, you should avoid it first. And...all the people who are watching, please go out, the fun is over, now is a time that is not suitable for children. "

  Zhang Anshi left these words, but rushed straight into the ear room.

  In the ear room, Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi rushing in all of a sudden, he looked at Zhang Anshi suspiciously and said, "Why is this?"

  Zhang Anshi said with a pale face: "Please send your majesty back to the palace immediately... No, this minister will accompany your majesty back to the palace, and please your majesty, the quasi-chen, select a hundred lieutenants from the Neiqianhusuo school to accompany you."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di frowned. He stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "You mean...there is a remnant of Li Xizhou in the palace?"

Zhang Anshi's mood at this time showed a bit of anxiety, and said: "There must be, although I don't know how many, since there are in Fengyang, the central capital, and there are quite a few, then there must be a few of the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the Forbidden City. Among them, and... the minister has already made a judgment, these people... I'm afraid they have already started to play tricks."

   "Are they still determined now?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Anshidao: "This minister... After taking action, this Li Xi judged from the beginning of Monday that the destruction of the Imperial Tomb of the Central Capital did not achieve the effect he should have. Therefore, in order to anger His Majesty, it was... rumored that he was planning to rebel. Rumors... and these obviously cannot provoke His Majesty to kill, so... if there are several such congregants in the Forbidden City, what will he choose to do before he is arrested?"

  Zhu Di suddenly understood what was going on, and subconsciously said: "Intensify every level!"

"Yes, it must have been increased layer by layer until it completely angered His Majesty and made His Majesty lose his mind. Then he was given a chance. Therefore, I judged that he should have issued an order more than ten days ago, and this order was sent to the Forbidden City. It should have been three or four days ago...he was captured shortly after delivering the order...the capital that he was escorted to today...that is to say...maybe the people in the palace have already started to play tricks, or...use some kind of trick."

  Zhu Di took a deep breath: "How many people believe in such a clumsy trick, and even take risks for him?"

Zhang Anshidao: "After people are deceived, in fact, the vast majority will not repent, but will intensify. They will continue to deceive themselves and constantly strengthen their cognition, because even the most humble people in this world , and will never admit that he is a great fool. On the contrary, everyone thinks that he is unique and extremely intelligent."

  Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "Today, I wanted to personally dismember this dog thief into thousands of pieces. It seems that I have to wait for two days. Let's go. As I walked, I said, you pick someone and follow me into the palace."

Zhang Anshi said: "I will try my best to torture this Li Xizhou...to torture him, and we must teach him to speak, but we can't place our hope on him. This person...has committed a heinous crime. He knows that It is absolutely impossible for him to live well, and ordinary threats, even if he takes his grandson, can't threaten him, at most it can only make him mentally collapse, so I think that the most urgent thing is to go back to the palace first and strengthen the guard , when the time comes... Neiqianhusuo will search the palace and find out these gangsters."

  Zhu Di galloped away, and when he got out of here, he was already on his horse.

  Zhang Anshi shouted loudly: "Chen Daowen, bring a group of people and follow me."

  Chen Daowen listened, but did not speak.

  Right now, they are the only ones who are the most reliable. Although many people are exhausted to the extreme, they still cheer up and hurriedly chased them out.

  ...

  Li Xizhou was sent directly to imperial prison.

  Chen Li didn't dare to be negligent, and personally tortured him.

  This Li Xizhou just denied it.

  Chen Li was obviously also in a hurry, so he hurriedly ordered his relatives to be escorted directly.

In front of his closest relatives, Li Xizhou said: "My lord, what crime do you say is blowing up the imperial tomb? What crime do you say... rebellion? As for the other crimes, there is no need to mention them. Any one of them is enough to teach me. I can't die! And they... can't live a good life... Tell me... cough cough... cough cough... What's the use of threatening me with them... "

   After he finished speaking, he grinned grimly.

  He has gradually recovered from a mental breakdown.

   Right now...he has another way.

Li Xizhou said: "Actually...if you let them go now, give them a boat, and send them out to sea, within ten days and half a month, I'm sure they'll leave safe and sound, maybe I'll open my mouth. It's a pity, you're afraid Can't wait for these ten days and half a month, hey... everything is over, you keep saying that I have sinned a lot, haha... even if I did a crime, those ignorant fools, you think, they won't spoil their daughters to me, They are so stupid, won't they be ruined by others? If I don't cheat their money, can they keep their wealth?"

   As he spoke, Li Xizhou laughed maniacally again. At this time, his skin was torn apart, facing Chen Li, revealing his almost incomplete teeth.

He stared fixedly at Chen Lidao: "It's not my fault, it's their stupidity, it's their incorrigibility, it's because they know that the world is difficult, so they want to take a shortcut. What is a shortcut? The shortcut is... just follow a passage , you can make yourself rich in the next life. The shortcut is, as long as you donate some money, you can teach yourself to be happy for the rest of your life. So... I am not the only one who is greedy, all living beings in the world, who is not greedy?"

As if defending himself, he continued to laugh: "Look at those people, what they look like after they find out that I am the Buddha! Haha...they won't believe it even if they are beaten to death. You know why they can't believe it Because...the more stupid you are, the more you think you are smart, the more ignorant you are, the more you think you have insight. You kill me..."

  Chen Li squinted his eyes, without any expression on his face. Just a moment later, Li Xizhou's screams were heard in the prison.

  ...

  Back to the Forbidden City.

  Zhu Di rushed straight to Da Nei, accompanied by Zhang Anshi, and only brought a few confidants, first rushed to Empress Xu's bedroom.

  In this palace, what Zhu Di really cares about is Empress Xu.

  As for the other concubines, most of them were from the beautiful daughters of North Korea. To be cruel, they are just Zhu Di's tools to vent his desire.

   Came to Empress Xu's dormitory, where everything was the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

  But Empress Xu couldn't help but feel strange when she learned that Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi had arrived, and they were in a hurry.

  She was pregnant with Liujia at this time, and her movements were very inconvenient. When she saw Zhang Anshi, she was a little bit shy.

  Zhang Anshi was also so embarrassed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

   After all, Zhang Anshi is a generation younger than Empress Xu, and he married Empress Xu's niece, who is also the brother-in-law of Empress Xu's eldest son. At this age, she is still pregnant. It is really inappropriate in front of the younger generation.

  At this time, Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty, what's the matter, why is it so murderous? The concubine smells a **** smell."

  Zhu Di tried his best to keep his voice steady and said: "It's nothing, but Zhang Anshi insisted on coming to greet you, saying that he hadn't come to see you for a long time, and if he didn't come to greet you, he felt very uneasy. Isn't it, Zhang Anshi?"

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I...I think about it day and night...No, I...I have been thinking about it since I heard that the empress is pregnant, and I want to come and see how the empress looks."

  Empress Xu poked Zhang Anshi's forehead with her fingertips, smiled gently and said, "You kid, if you want to come to see me, why do you have to?"

  Empress Xu seemed calm, but obviously she was by no means stupid, and obviously knew that this was just an excuse for Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi.

  Zhu Di said a few words with Empress Xu, then led Zhang Anshi out of the bedroom, and said, "Could it be a mistake? I see that the palace is very peaceful, and it doesn't seem like there is any major event."

  Zhang Anshi obviously has not let go of the worries in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, check it out, check it out, and always make people feel more at ease. I... always have a premonition..."

   Seeing Zhu Di staring at him, Zhang Anshi himself was happy: "Maybe it's because I was born with a crow's mouth..."

  Zhu Di said: "You come to investigate and ask Yishiha to cooperate with you. You can investigate and ask about anything in this palace. There is no need to be taboo."

   Zhang Anshi was relieved after hearing this.

   This is nothing more than giving himself a reassurance, he is afraid of some things in the palace, which are more taboo.

  Zhang Anshi thought for a while: "I think of a person, let this person be a helper...it would be perfect."

  Zhu Di said: "Who?"

"His Royal Highness Yi Wang." Zhang Anshi said: "He is the most familiar with the palace, and his eyes are very sharp. No movement or difference in the palace can escape his eyes. This is not what I said, it is him. I said it myself."

  Zhu Di twitched his face, took a deep breath and said, "Go and call him."

  Zhang Anshi nodded.

  Zhu Di went back to his dormitory. Now that there is something going on in the palace, he is still worried about Empress Xu.

  Zhang Anshi and Yi Shiha looked at each other.

Yi Shiha smiled wryly, knowing that some eunuchs committed crimes, he was also very disturbed. Although the eunuchs guarding the tomb were sent away by some eunuchs who made mistakes, it was actually equivalent to exile, but after all... most of them Personnel arrangements still have to go through the supervisor of ceremonies, and he just happens to be in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies.

   Now that something might happen in the palace, it made him worry even more. If anything happened, he would have to bear the blame.

   "Duke Wei... You must check carefully, and you can't make any mistakes. From now on, we will be behind Duke Wei, and follow the steps. Whatever Duke Wei says, we will be."

  Zhang An Shidao: "The list, give me the list of eunuchs, and remember the details, when they entered the palace, what position they held in the palace...these should be the supervisor of ceremonies."

  Yi Shiha said: "You can find it by looking at the roster..."

Zhang Anshidao: "Do you know big data? It is to find out the doubts from the differences, and then eliminate them. It will be more complicated to say, but the captain of the Neiqianhu Institute, as well as the official school, must learn this. , These people I brought are useful."
