The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The eight people who took the lead in inciting the people to rebel here, Zhang Fan, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao knew that they were Feng Bao's people, and even if Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng didn't know the truth, they could It can be guessed that the people Feng Bao uses will not be people who can be seen on the bright side of Dongchang, but must be the masters he has raised in private.

Based on this, and the "professional" manner shown by those people when they were interrogated in Jinyiwei, Zhang Fan knew very well that if possible, Feng Bao absolutely did not want to see those eight subordinates Those who were decapitated or disabled were the reasons why Zhang Fan dared to conclude that Feng Bao would not execute those people.

But now, Feng Bao actually said that he was sentenced, Zhang Fan was a little suspicious, after all, he had never received such news at all, and now he is in the Dongchang prison where those people are being held, and his staff of Jinyiwei are also there. If Feng Bao was sent to prison, it is impossible for them not to tell Zhang Fan about it.

However, perhaps, there may be something that Zhang Fan didn't know about the gap during this period of time. If something really happened at this time, Zhang Fan is already in the palace, and his subordinates have nothing to do. He came in to inform him, but even so, Zhang Fan was deeply skeptical about it, so he asked the question just now.

"It's natural." Feng Bao didn't show any discomfort on his face. If he really wanted to say something, he looked angrily and said, "These good thieves have a very hard mouth, and our family doesn't want to make a big fuss." , lest outsiders say that I was tortured to extract a confession, and I couldn't do it accurately. However, it was hard to find out that Zhang Siwei was the mastermind behind the scenes. Because some of them made a slip of the tongue for a while, but they refused to say anything when they were asked again.

"Master Zhang should understand that this is the most uncomfortable thing for people. Our family has no choice but to use punishment. I didn't expect this group of guys whose mouths are three points harder than fine iron. Immediately, he couldn't bear it anymore, and confessed, no, the most important letter was confessed by them.

"Queen Mother, I have no choice but to act like this, but I understand that the Queen Mother is benevolent. Doing so is against the harmony of nature. I implore the Queen Mother to forgive me," Feng Bao said to Queen Mother Li. , but also a look of panic.

"This is something that can't be helped," Empress Dowager Li sighed helplessly. Obviously, she believed Feng Bao's words. In the end, I don't hesitate to let the people get involved in it, but also to make those stumbling blocks in the court, it really shouldn't be, in the opinion of Ai's family, this punishment is really good, and when the time comes for the public trial, these people must be let In front of the people of the world, people are subjected to criminal law, so that those who harbor evil intentions can see clearly what the fate of rebellion is."

"The Empress Dowager Shengming," several people present immediately said in unison.

Facing Queen Mother Li's merciless words, no one present objected, even the most benevolent Ge Shouli, his expression did not change.

The reason is very simple, if it is something else, let it go, but no one in the DPRK will show the slightest sympathy for such a major incident. This is not just a matter of personal philosophy. If any official If you still can't bear this kind of thing, it is very likely that others will impeach you in the future, saying that you are also harboring evil intentions, lest the world will not be chaotic.

But Zhang Fan's attention is not here. In fact, when Feng Bao said that just now, Zhang Fan's eyes kept looking at Feng Bao, and he didn't leave for a moment. It's not that he didn't believe Feng Bao, after all. Regarding this matter, Feng Bao did not need to lie, nor could he speak. After a while, Zhang Fan would know whether those people had been tortured, and even if only Zhang Fan knew now, but now that the matter has been released, Then the day of the public trial will be soon, and when the time comes, you will know at a glance whether those people have been tortured.

Feng Bao would not be so confused and make such a mistake in this matter, but Zhang Fan still feels that there are some problems in it, Feng Bao is so sure that his method can put Zhang Siwei to death, if it is true , when the time comes, Zhang Siwei, the chief culprit, will naturally be "treated warmly", and those eight people will probably no longer be noticed. Whether it is locked up or handled in secret, with Dongchang, there is always a way to rescue those eight people.

This shows that Feng Bao doesn't want those eight people to become a one-time thing, he wants to use them for a long time.

Therefore, just now Feng Bao said with a very sure look that they were sentenced to death, Zhang Fan felt it was incredible, but the next moment, after he figured out Feng Bao's plan, he also understood what Feng Bao did. .

Obviously, even if it is a punishment, there are differences in size. If the punishment is severe, it will naturally hurt the bones, especially in Dongchang. If you think about it, there is no gentle way. He is half dead, and even if he can survive in the future, it may not be of great use.

However, if it is a small punishment, it is different. The word small here has many meanings. If it is used a lot, it can not only achieve the damage of a large punishment, but also make the pain worse when the pain accumulates. People are in great pain.

However, if you want to keep it safe, it is quite easy. Sometimes, there will be no injuries. Although the execution is very painful, it will not leave any trouble. My own people have explained it, so it will be easy to handle things like this, maybe because of the presence of Zhang Fan's people, it is too blatant to do it too blatantly, but Zhang Fan believes that even if the head is broken, the few Personally, it will never be a big deal.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Fan completely understood.

"Thinking about it, this Siwei really has sinister intentions," Feng Bao said with a very angry look, "I don't want to implicate the common people, but I still play this kind of trick. Look at this letter, it was written with my left hand. I'm afraid He also planned for a long time and wanted to destroy the evidence, and he will not admit it when the time comes," Feng Bao began to exert his final strength, wanting to put Zhang Siwei to death all at once.

It's just that he can't help himself now, even if Zhang Fan doesn't say anything now, someone will stop him.

"Father-in-law said, but it may not be." Sure enough, Zhang Fan didn't have to worry at all, Ge Shouli had already opened his mouth, "Because of the words on this letter, these words can't be said with such certainty, perhaps, This letter was indeed written by Zhang Siwei himself. The reason why he used his left hand was to prevent people from discovering it.

"But on the other hand, it's also possible that this was not written by Zhang Siwei, but that someone else might want to blame him. The reason is the same. This letter was written with the left hand, whether it was Zhang Siwei or someone else. It is almost the same for anyone, as long as it is written, and the words on this letter do have traces of Zhang Siwei in the strokes, but this is not a difficult task. As long as you are caring, pay attention to it, can be imitated vividly, "

"So, Mr. Ge doesn't believe our family's words." Obviously, Feng Bao disagreed with Ge Shouli's words, "Could it be that Mr. Ge thinks that our family deliberately framed Zhang Siwei and failed."

"Oh, father-in-law, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that." Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ge Shouli did not show any aggressive actions against Feng Bao's provocation as before, but looked calm and even He said apologetically, "I'm just discussing the matter as it stands. Besides, my father-in-law and I have no grudges in the past, and I have no hatred in recent days. Why should I say such things that frame my father-in-law? I was deceived, and in the end, not only did I not find the real culprit, but I actually helped others a lot,"

What Ge Shouli said made Feng Bao speechless. Originally, what Feng Bao said just now was intended to provoke Ge Shouli. But this time, Ge Shouli was not fooled. He said these words in a very kind manner, which was very convincing.

Especially when he said the phrase "no grudges in the past, no grudges in the present", everyone present except Feng Bao laughed wildly in their hearts, and Feng Bao was not to mention how depressed he was.

However, what Ge Shouli said made sense, and Feng Bao had absolutely no reason to refute it.

As for Feng Bao, when he saw that he had returned without success and was still so deflated, he felt really uncomfortable, but now, in front of Queen Mother Li, he couldn't show how uncomfortable he was.

"Well, what Ge Aiqing said is also reasonable," at this time, Empress Dowager Li said, "Maybe this is really that Zhang Siwei was out of breath and did something stupid; maybe this is just like what Ge Aiqing said. Maybe you want to blame Zhang Siwei, this matter must be investigated carefully, to find out what's going on, don't act in a hurry, wronging a person is a trivial matter, if the real culprit is allowed to go unpunished, it's not good up.

"The empress dowager is wise, and this humble official also has the same intention," Zhang Fan interjected at the right time, "It's just that things are like this now, I don't know what the empress dowager intends."

"This..." Empress Dowager Li also hesitated when asked by Zhang Fan, but she didn't hesitate, but looked at Zhang Fan who asked herself, and asked, "What Zhang Aiqing thinks should be done about this matter?" ,"

Hearing Empress Dowager Li asking himself, Zhang Fan laughed in his heart, he had already thought of a solution, Zhengchou had no chance to say, now Empress Dowager Li just gave him this opportunity,
