Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 428
"Bastard, kill us right now..."

After the two were arrested, they never said a word, and now they finally spoke.

If this sentence is said to other people, it should be a normal sentence, and it will not arouse great resentment from others.

But if they said this to Yuhuatian, they would have committed a big taboo, because Yuhuatian had no seeds at all, which was tantamount to slapping Yuhuatian in the face.

Yu Huatian's face turned livid, and he had already planned in his heart that after they confessed, he would turn them all into seedless people, and then let them die.

"Master, something is coming."

Soon, the raw salt water and chili water have been reconciled.

It has to be said that these people are born to be cruel officials,
Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no pepper water. After the pepper was planted, the fans of Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory soon discovered the benefits of this thing.

Many stubborn prisoners have not survived the test of pepper water, and now pepper water has become their standard interrogation method.

At the beginning, because the two were seriously injured, they never dared to use it on them. Now that the Lord Governor is on the scene, if the prisoner unfortunately dies, they naturally don't have to bear the consequences.

Two Xichang fans grinned and walked to the prisoner, and slowly poured a spoonful of raw salt water and chili water mixture on their wounds.

Salt water and chili water slowly penetrated into their bodies along the place Yuhuatian carved just now, and the bodies of the two prisoners immediately began to writhe violently, howling like beasts from their mouths.

Yu Huatian frowned:
"Gag them."

"Yes"

A rag soaked in hot pepper water was immediately stuffed into the mouths of the two prisoners by Xichang Fanzi, causing both snot and tears to flow out together.

Their mouths, nostrils, and eyes were poured with hot pepper water, which had caused them to suffer a lot.

There was still salt water and chili ruthlessly raging in the wounds on the body, and there were bursts of indescribable pain, which made the two of them feel that life was worse than death.

Within about 5 minutes, they could no longer hold on and finally wanted to confess, but their mouths were blocked and they could not make a sound, so they could only whimper non-stop.

Yu Huatian has been quietly watching them toss, as if he was watching a wonderful performance, and he said until he saw them exhausted from tossing:
"Take what's out of their mouths and see if they confess."

"Yes"

Fanzi Xichang stepped forward and pulled the pepper cloth from the prisoner's mouth, and the two immediately gasped for breath.

When they were gasping for breath, there was still a burning pain in their mouth and throat, but compared to just now, they seemed to have gone from hell to heaven.

Although the burning pain in the wound was not weakened at all, as long as they could breathe freely for a while, it was more important than anything else.

After they took a few breaths, Yuhuatian waved his hand, and Fanzi Xichang immediately began to interrogate:
"If you had confessed earlier, why would you be tortured like this? Tell me, who ordered you to rob and smash Daming's pawn shop."

This time, the two of them were completely honest. They would rather have their heads chopped off than live like they are now. It is too painful.

"I... Let's confess that we are all servants of Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue and Zhao Zhilong's residence, and they ordered us to smash the pawnshop."

Before they finished speaking, Yu Huatian slapped the table with his palm, smashing the wooden table into pieces instantly.

"Hey, someone here continues to pour pepper water on them. Both Xu Jiujue and Zhao Zhilong are nobles of the Ming Dynasty who retired with the country. How could they instruct you to do such a rebellious thing."

The two were afraid of being poured pepper water by them again, and immediately yelled:
"My lord... My lord, what we are telling is the truth, please be careful, my lord!"

Yuhuatian saw that they didn't seem to be lying, so he asked them to speak carefully:

"Quickly tell me why they did this. You'd better tell me honestly. If there is a slight mistake, it will definitely make your life worse than death."

"My lord, we absolutely dare not hide anything. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out who owns the Nanjing pawnshop, and you will know what's going on right away..."

It turned out that these two were servants of Xu Jiujue and Zhao Zhilong, and those rioters were hired with money, and their purpose was to prevent Daming Pawn Shop from gaining a foothold in Nanjing.

Because all the pawnshops in Nanjing belong to the Zhao family and the Xu family, Daming opened a pawnshop in Nanjing that not only can exchange dragon coins, but also has many businesses similar to theirs.

The Ming Dynasty pawnshop deposit bank will give other people interest, and the loan interest is also very low, almost a mutual win.

Their family's pawn shop not only has no interest for depositing silver, but also charges deposit fees. If they borrow money from them, it will be usury, and almost all of them will become vampires.

Over the years, they have made a lot of money from the usury of the pawn shop. The opening of the Daming pawn shop made the two princes feel a serious sense of crisis.

After listening to the confessions of the two, Yu Huatian suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Xichang Fanzi to investigate to see how many pawnshops there are in Nanjing and who are behind the pawnshops.

As long as the owners of those pawn shops are found, it is almost possible to prove that the confessions of these two people are correct.

Xu Wenjue,
Son of Xu Hongji.The end of Chongzhen attack.In history, after Nanjing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was demoted to the people.

Zhao Zhilong

A native of Hong County in the south of the Yangtze River, an official in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.During the reign of Chongzhen, Nanjing was the town of Xinchengbo.Fu Wangli, and support, dry politics.

According to Wu Weiye's "Luqiao Jiwen":
"Guiji, civil and military affairs are concentrated in the government meeting, and there is no words to talk about the ruler; Xu Yu of Taixue pays homage to Zhao Zhilong, please ask the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the dragon will kill him. It is night, the king of Yu went to Jiangning and camped in the Temple of Heaven. Bingshen is ignorant, Zhao Zhilong Open the door and lead the officials to welcome the surrender."

It can be seen from this that, as nobles of the Ming Dynasty, these two don't have the demeanor of their predecessors at all.

Not only did they exploit the people, but they did not make any resistance when the captives marched into Nanjing.

And with those civil servants who are greedy for life and fear of death, they took the initiative to open the city and surrender, so that Dongyao could enter Nanjing without a single soldier, and let the natural danger of the Yangtze River become a display.

Of course, these are historical events, history has been changed by Zhu Youjian, this kind of thing will not happen again, it is impossible for Yuhuatian to know these things.

Xichang, like Jinyiwei of Dongchang, is the emperor's intelligence agency. It is very easy to find out who is behind the pawnshop in Nanjing. After all, pawnshops need to register at the beginning.

After sending some people to investigate, Yuhuatian also walked out of the Xichang office. According to the prisoner's account, he stepped on his horse and headed for the largest private pawn shop in Nanjing.

For about half an hour, Yuhuatian reined in his horse in front of a store called Jinling Bank. This bank is indeed not small, covering an area larger than that of Xichang's Nanjing office.

There are six or seven security guards in front of the gate, all of them are tall and burly, with swords and other weapons on their waists, and their eyes are full of evil spirits, which makes some people with malicious intentions stay away.

Yuhuatian tied the horse aside and walked into the bank. The shopkeeper looked at Yuhuatian's clothes and immediately came up to him with a smile.

"My lord, please come inside, I don't know if you want to deposit or withdraw money?"

Yu Huatian put the Xiuchun knife in his hand on the counter:
"Look how much this knife is worth"
