Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die
Chapter 639 Chen Ce’s Fury
Chapter 639 Chen Ce’s Fury
Chen Ce hasn’t been angry for a long time. Ever since he fell ill, his mood has not been very stable.
But ever since Fu Yuan’s death, Chen Ce has been living in self-blame these days. Now, when he heard Li Zhen say that he had brought back that group of people, he immediately followed Li Zhen to the Jinyiwei.
There were ten men imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison. Li Zhen said that during the arrest, they were ready to commit suicide. Ten of them died, and the rest were controlled, otherwise they might have committed suicide.
Li Zhen pushed Chen Ce to the leading man. Chen Ce stared at him indifferently, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Before he could say anything, the other party asked, “Why are you pushing a disabled piece of trash here?”
“Is there no one left in your Ming Dynasty? A disabled loser can become an official?”
Li Zhen shouted angrily: “I will kill you!”
Chen Ce grabbed Li Zhen. He knew that the other party was trying to provoke him to kill him, but it was not that easy.
Chen Ce stared at the other person and asked, “How did my friend die?”
The man sneered, “Are you talking about the man in white? Tsk tsk, he’s a smart man. When I found him, he knew he was going to die.”
“He begged me not to kill him and begged me to let him go. He wanted to live so much. He even threatened me, saying that his friends would kill my whole family, haha.”
“Could that friend he was talking about be a crippled loser like you?”
“But I didn’t agree to his request. He wanted to die in a dignified manner and wanted me to give him a cup of poisoned wine, but I cut off his neck with a sword and then had my men drag him away to feed the dogs.”
“That’s right, you will never find his body, because his body is in the dog’s stomach, hahahaha!”
Chen Ce’s face twitched violently. He knew that Fu Yuan had been a decent man all his life. Even though he knew he was going to die, he wanted to die in a decent way.
Chen Ce clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves and asked calmly, “Who ordered you to do this? Why?”
The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He was not afraid of Chen Ce’s anger. He just wanted to provoke Chen Ce so that Chen Ce would give him a quick death.
But the other party can still endure it until this time, which is enough to show that the other party is not simple.
The man remained silent.
Chen Ce said: “I will let you speak, you’d better keep silent.”
“Let’s go.”
Chen Ce spoke to Li Zhen indifferently, and then said: “Oh, right, tie him up, put him on the chopping board, block his mouth, put some honey on his feet, and bring two goats over.”
Li Zhen didn’t know what kind of punishment this was, but he nodded anyway and immediately ordered his men to do it.
After walking out of the prison, Li Zhen was afraid that Chen Ce would be upset, so he hurriedly said, “Sir…”
Chen Ce pressed his hand and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Go check his family. Arrest all of his family members. No matter where they are, check them thoroughly. Check them quickly!”
“You can transfer him to the two capitals and thirteen provinces at will. Just say that I ordered you to do so. If the local government does not cooperate, you must investigate immediately! Bring his entire family here as quickly as possible!”
Li Zhen clasped his fists and said, “Yes!”
After Chen Ce left the Jinyiwei, Li Zhen ordered his men to do the work. He needed to go to the palace to tell Zhu Houzhao everything.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was already furious and said angrily: “Do as the Duke of Fuguo says!”
Fortunately, he did not go to the trial, otherwise Zhu Houzhao might have killed the other party on the spot!
……
Li Zhen was very efficient and it only took three days.
During these three days, the man went through the most painful experience of his life in prison!
At first he just felt a little itchy when the goats licked his feet, but as time went by, the goats licked more and more vigorously. Because goats have barbs on their tongues, every lick would cause a layer of his skin to peel off.
Once, twice, three times… Gradually, his skin and flesh were licked less and less. Every time the goat licked him, he felt unbearable pain. He wanted to shout, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn’t shout at all. He fainted several times. During these few days, Chen Ce did not go to the Jinyiwei prison until Li Zhen brought all the man’s family members here.
“Sir, we have found out that this man is called Dong Hu, a Han Chinese, and his ancestors were soldiers who followed Emperor Taizong.”
“There are six people in the family, a wife, two parents, and three children.”
Chen Ce nodded and said, “Okay, take him to the prison, let’s go.”
……
Inside the Jinyiwei prison.
When Chen Ce appeared in front of Dong Hu again, he waved his hand to let the Jinyiwei loosen the rag in Dong Hu’s mouth. His face remained calm as he said lightly: “Dong Hu? Your family is here.”
Just as Dong Hu was about to speak, Chen Ce pulled out the knife from Li Zhen’s hand and cut off the neck of one of the little boys with one blow!
Li Zhen was so scared that his face twitched. He knew Chen Ce was cruel, but he never thought he could be so cruel!
He didn’t let any child go without any hesitation and just stabbed them with the knife. His ruthlessness scared Li Zhen so much!
Dong Hu even shouted, “Fuck you! You beast! You will not die well, you will not die well!”
“I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you!”
“Bitch, I’m going to kill your whole family!”
Chen Ce smiled and said, “You have no chance. Okay, now you can speak. You still have five people. I will ask you five questions.”
“If one of you answers the question, I will let him go.”
“Their lives are in your hands.”
“The first question is, who ordered you to do that?”
Dong Hu’s eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Gao Zhongshun!”
He knew how ruthless Chen Ce was, and he also knew that if he hesitated even a little, Chen Ce would resort to knife attack.
Looking at his parents, wife and children, Dong Hu cried like a tearful man.
“Second question, what happened in the Western Region?”
Dong Hu said hurriedly: “Over the years, Lord Gao and his men have killed many Tibetans in the Western Regions. Those Tibetans have long been complaining. He was afraid that the court would investigate the Western Regions, so he forced the Tibetans to rebel.”
Chen Ce understood and continued to ask: “The third question is, besides Gao Zhongshun, who else was involved?”
Dong Hu said: “All the envoys participated.”
Chen Ce uttered an “oh” and nodded, then said to Li Zhen, “Let him write down his confession.”
“You, you still have two questions. You still have two questions? Ask them quickly, ask them quickly.”
Chen Ce shook his head and said, “That’s all for now. Write your confession first. I’m going to Hami to arrest someone.”
“Okay, okay! Whatever you say, just let my family go.”
Chen Ce nodded and said, “Are you begging me?”
“Look, my friend begged you to let him go. Did you let him go? You didn’t, did you?”
“In the interest of fairness, I won’t let it go.”
“You!” Dong Hu shouted, “You will not die well! You will not die well! Ah!!!”
