Chapter 10 Although you are the Duke of the country, have you ever died like a man?

Song Guogong's residence is not far from Liuxiang Lane where Lao Peng's house is located, just two streets away.

Since Feng Sheng was recalled to Beijing by Emperor Hongwu, he has been confined in the mansion.

Although his duke title has not been taken away, and the salary that should be paid every year is also paid on time, but he only has this empty title left.

Not only was he unable to leave the mansion himself, even his wife and sons were also unable to leave the mansion. Jin Yiwei was responsible for purchasing and delivering all the necessities in the mansion.

Even the married daughters couldn't go home to visit at all, and even pretended not to know, maintaining the superficial calm.

However, today's barely maintained calm was finally broken.

Jin Yiwei was in a guard station in Nancheng. Five hundred school captains in full armor and guns swarmed up and surrounded Song Guogong's mansion with the appearance that no strangers should enter.

Song Guogong's mansion is in an area where rich and powerful people gather, and the mansions next door are also lived by rich and noble people. Everyone knows the current predicament that Song Guogong is facing.

The servants of each family, as soon as they saw Duke Song's mansion surrounded by Jin Yiwei, immediately rushed back to report to the Patriarch.

The person in charge, Peng Ke, hadn't even been there yet, and the story of Jin Yiwei's siege of Duke Song's mansion had already spread throughout the city.

Ordinary people don't know about Song Guogong being imprisoned for two years, and they don't have access to this upper-level game.

But the rich and powerful are all clean, and after learning the news that Jin Yiwei surrounded Song Guogong's mansion, all their eyelids twitched.

Especially those who have accepted Song Guogong's love, or served under him, or even had relatively close contact with him, were terrified.

Good guy, Sapphire fell from power two years ago, but 5000 people were implicated!

Now a duke of the state seems to be doomed, who knows if it will be another Sapphire case?

The eyes of all the nobles in the city are focused on Duke Song's Mansion!

An hour after Jin Yiwei's five hundred captains surrounded Song Guogong's mansion, Peng Kecai and Ah Hu arrived outside the mansion on the steam locomotive.

When Peng Ke stepped out of the car, Wen Xiaokun, the supervisor of Qianhu, who surrounded the Duke's mansion, immediately went forward and saluted: "My lord, the mansion has been completely cleared out. A total of 86 people, including servants, have all been locked in the main house." .”

"Well, take me to see Duke Song." Peng Ke nodded, led Ah Hu and followed Wen Xiaokun into the Duke's mansion.

The land occupied by the Duke's Mansion is naturally larger and more luxurious than that of the Marquis of Huaining.

Peng Ke followed Wen Xiaokun around the mansion for more than ten minutes before arriving at the main house.

Standing outside the closed gate, Peng Ke didn't go in directly. He didn't want to face the scene of more than [-] people shouting grievances together.

Turning around, Peng Ke said to Wen Xiaokun: "Bring a few people, and take Song Guogong to the side room alone, and bring a jug of wine."

After saying these words, Peng Ke turned around and went into the side room next to the main house, and sat down on the teacher's chair in the room.

Wen Xiaokun's movements were fast, and his execution was very high. Within a minute after Peng Ke sat down, he pressed an old man with half a hundred hair, who was at least 1 years old, and walked into the side hall with a white jade pot. .

Ah Hu immediately stepped forward to help restrain him, for fear that Feng Sheng would rush into Peng Ke in a hurry.

Seeing that the Lord had arrived, Pen Ke immediately stood up from his chair.

Anyway, this old man who seems to be in his dying years is the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the founding general who killed the Northern Man who was afraid of him!
Song Guogong's contribution to Ming Dynasty and the people of the world are indelible.

Even though Emperor Hongwu was determined to bestow him with death, he did not deprive Song Guogong of his title, nor did he take back his previous rewards!
"I've met Grandpa Feng." Peng Ke still respectfully saluted Feng Sheng.

He knew Feng Sheng.

Daming has just founded the country for more than 20 years, and the circle of nobles is not very big, and they are more or less friendly to each other.

When Peng Ke was young, he visited Feng Sheng several times with his father. At that time, Feng Sheng was one of the best generals in the Ming Dynasty, the famous general who conquered captives, the god of war in the hearts of all Ming soldiers, and the one who could stop the northern barbarians. A crying child, a living legend.

Seeing the great general who used to gallop on the battlefield and look down on him, the Duke of the Kingdom, now he has become a prisoner, Peng Ke felt quite emotional.

"Old Peng's." Feng Sheng kept his head down, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, raised his eyes to look at Peng Ke, and asked very calmly, "Is your father all right?"

"Back to the Lord, my father is fine. Although he has no official position, he is quite content with raising flowers and playing with birds every day." Peng Ke replied with a smile.

Feng Sheng nodded with blank eyes, and said in a low voice like a whisper: "Blessed are you in Huai Ning's lineage."

It seems that because of seeing the fellow noble descendants, Feng Sheng felt a little preaching in his heart, looked at Peng Ke and said with regret, "Nephew Peng, our Majesty, is ruthless, and even more ruthless."

"Imperial power is ruthless. You must know how to retreat bravely and the golden mean, otherwise you will only end up like us."

"Hey, I'm going to command a million soldiers, but how do you know how expensive jailers are?"

"I used to read history books and didn't understand why Zhou Bo ended up like this, but now I understand."

"Of course, it's too late to regret."

"Nephew Peng, what will His Majesty decide to do with me in the end?"

Seeing Feng Sheng who had lost all his vigor, Peng Ke felt a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox. After struggling to move his mouth for a few times, he responded, "Your Majesty orders me to give Lord Feng to death."

"All sons, no heirs."

"Hehe, haha." Feng Sheng laughed miserably, looked up to the sky towards the direction of the palace, and said sadly: "Time is fate, regret it at the beginning, regret it at the beginning."

"Let's do it, I have already seen it clearly, if I don't die, Your Majesty will be restless every day, if that's the case, let's have a good time."

He worked under the hands of an emperor like Emperor Hongwu. After seeing so many methods of Emperor Hongwu, he was very familiar with Emperor Hongwu's style and knew exactly what kind of person he was.

In this case, after achieving success and fame, he did not retreat early and gave Emperor Hongwu a handle instead!

Whether it is "unnecessary" charges or "rebellion" charges, they are all just Emperor Hongwu's imperial means.

After all, he just wanted him to die.

Peng Ke beckoned with a heavy heart, and Ah Hu reached out and took out a poisonous bird feather from his bosom, opened the white jade jug, and put the feather into the jug to stir.

The poisonous bird is a highly poisonous bird in the south of the Five Ridges. Most of the feathers on its body are purple, only the abdomen and the tips of the wings are green.

Put its feathers in wine, and you can make poisonous wine, which is highly poisonous wine, drinking it will kill you!

It can be regarded as a must-have item for "suicide".

Basically, it will take effect immediately after drinking a cup, which is much better than the potassium chloride, sodium cyanide, hydrochloric acid and so on in Penke's previous life.

After Ahu soaked the feather in the wine for a while, he filled a wine glass and handed it to Feng Sheng.

After receiving the poisoned wine, Feng Sheng didn't hesitate, and after a miserable laugh, he drank it all in one gulp and smashed the wine glass vigorously.

Afterwards, he fell to the ground limply, blood began to flow out from the seven orifices, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing Feng Sheng's miserable state, Peng Ke's hands hidden in his wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

Feng Sheng's death deeply stimulated him.

In this imperial power society, the emperor can decide a person's life with one word!

Feng Shenggui is the Duke of the state, did he die like a man?
This caused an unprecedented feeling of disgust and fear in Penke's heart!

Feng Sheng's death today, is it impossible for him to be the fate of Peng Ke in the future?
He doesn't want to be such a person whose life is slaughtered!
He wants to control his own destiny!
Even if he died, he shouldn't die like this because he was suspected by the emperor and died innocently!

Perhaps, this world, which has already spawned a steam revolution, urgently needs some more radical changes!
　It was not until Chapter 10 that a little bit of the core thread of the book was revealed.

　　A little slow.

　　In fact, what this book wants to write is the story of a modern soul setting off a social and ideological revolution in the magical steampunk Ming Dynasty.

　　Of course, before setting off a revolution, you must first accumulate enough power to change the world~
