Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 418
Minister Wang is indeed a lunatic.

Jinyiwei's severe punishment made people unable to seek life and death, and the severe punishment of Dongchang was the same.

Feng Bao tortured Minister Wang in Dongchang for a whole day, and Minister Wang still sang those lines over and over again: "My name is Minister Wang, and I live in Wujin County, Changzhou! Hey, everyone is united, let's enter the palace what!

"It's a meow! A big yellow cat! A dog bites a cat! A hairy mouth!"

Feng Baoqi's seven orifices produce smoke.His godson Zhang Jing said to him: "Godfather, in my opinion, he doesn't seem to be pretending to be crazy, but he seems to be really crazy. It's useless to punish him. It wasn't Zhao Twelfth Master who gave it to him in Jinyiwei." Is it the punishment? He can't help it anyway."

Feng Bao asked Zhang Jing: "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Jing said: "It's better to find a doctor and show him the madness. Prescribe medicine to rectify it, maybe his madness is gone, and he can confess according to what we taught him."

Feng Bao nodded: "Sure, go find some doctors."

Zhang Jing found several doctors and treated Minister Wang.Several well-known doctors in the capital agreed that Minister Wang had lost his mind.They prescribed more than a dozen medicines for him and took four or five days of conditioning.

On this day, Feng Bao and Zhang Ju were in the cabinet to discuss the implementation of the examination law.Zhang Jing ran in in a panic.

Zhang Jing said: "Zhang Shoufu, Eunuch Feng, Minister Wang has recovered from his madness! He was arguing just now that he wanted to see the supervisor."

Feng Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Okay! Let's go to Dongchang immediately and interrogate Minister Wang!"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Eunuch Feng, I will go with you."

The two came to the torture room of Dongchang.

Feng Bao asked Minister Wang: "What's your name? Where do you live? What do you do?"

Zhang Juzheng raised the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Minister Wang's answer made Zhang Juzheng almost spit out all the tea!
Minister Wang replied loudly: "Minister Wang, I am a native of Wujin County, Changzhou. In the 41st year of Jiajing, he joined the Qi Family Army in the south of the Yangtze River! Now it is a trial hundred household under the tent of Marshal Qi in Jizhou Town!"

Zhang Juzheng choked his throat with a sip of tea!

An assassin enters the palace to assassinate the emperor, there must be a backer!

The assassin is a member of the Qi family army, so everyone in the world will think that Qi Jiguang is the backstage of the assassin.

Who is Qi Jiguang's backstage?Who doesn't know, since the last years of Jiajing, I, Zhang Juzheng, have fully supported Qi Jiguang in the court!I, Zhang Juzheng, is Qi Jiguang's backstage!

Forget it.The world would think that I, Zhang Juzheng, was the biggest backer for sending ministers into the palace to assassinate the emperor!
Zhang Juzheng stood up and said to Feng Bao: "Eunuch Feng, the assassin is a member of the Qi family army, I want to avoid suspicion! I will go back to the cabinet first. How to interrogate him and how to torture him is your business, Eunuch Feng."

Feng Bao got up and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang! Now that he has recovered from his madness, I can make him give the confession we want!"

After Zhang Juzheng left, Feng Bao asked Minister Wang, "Have you ever been insane before?"

Minister Wang said: "I have never suffered from madness before. I have a son who is 20 years old. I thought, when a person is 20 years old, he must have a real life. So I asked him to come to Jizhou to join the army. The camp manager Zhen Fu, who assigned the manpower, remembered that I was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War in Zhejiang, so he took care of my son and let him directly serve as a soldier under me."

Feng Baodao: "Oh? What about your son? Still in Jizhou?"

Minister Wang sighed: "It's good to be here! Three months ago, I was ordered to take my son and fifty robes to patrol the border. I came across a small group of Oirat cavalry who came to harass me. My son was killed by the Oirat cavalry I was heartbroken and lost my mind. There were good times and bad times. The commander of our battalion, Mr. Wu Weizhong, thought that I was a veteran of the Qi family army, so he didn’t send me back to my hometown. He only let me recuperate in Jizhou. Never thought, I I was ill, and in a daze, I walked from Jizhou to the capital with a dozen or so liang of payment I had just received, and then went to the palace in a daze."

Feng Bao thought to himself: So that's what happened.What Minister Wang said does not seem to be a lie.

Feng Baodao: "Do you still want to be beaten?"

Minister Wang hurriedly said: "I beg your lord to be merciful. I am really insane, and I entered the palace in a daze!"

Feng Bao smiled: "Well, let me tell you something. You do what I said, and say it again! As long as you do what I say, not only will I not beat you, but I will give you an official to do it! Aren't you from Wujin County, Changzhou? After the incident is over, I will let you be the magistrate of Wujin County, and let you return to your hometown!"

Minister Wang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Feng Baodao: "Do you know who I am? I am Feng Bao, the assistant minister of the imperial court, the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, and the eunuch of the East Factory! When I speak, I always keep my word!"

Minister Wang hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain will obey Eunuch Feng's orders!"

Feng Baodao: "You heard me right! Your name is Minister Wang, but you are not a soldier of Jizhou Town! You are a river and lake ranger on the ground in Henan! The family of Gao Gong, the former chief assistant, found you and gave you 3 taels of silver. Instigate you to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor!"

Minister Wang said: "My lord, have mercy! Assassinating the emperor is an unforgivable crime!"

Feng Baoyu lied to Minister Wang: "Cough! Do you know that the emperor was brought up by me alone! Who does the emperor listen to? He only listens to me! I want to forgive you, and the emperor will definitely forgive you! Do you still want to be an official?" ?”

Minister Wang is just a low-level military officer in the border town, without any knowledge.He listened to Feng Bao's words.

He said: "My name is Minister Wang, and I am a rivers and lakes ranger on the ground in Henan. The family of the former Chief Assistant Gao Gong found me and gave me 3 taels of silver to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor!"

Feng Baoyi clapped his hands: "Well said! Isn't this the end? Remember, no matter which adult comes to interrogate you in the future, you have to say that! In less than a month, you will be the county magistrate of Wujin County!"

Feng Baozheng really has a way.He didn't let Minister Wang write his confession in Dongchang.

Who doesn't know that he, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, has a big enmity with Gao Gong?

If Minister Wang opened his mouth under the hands of Dongchang, he would say that Gao Gong instructed him.It is inevitable that some people will say that Feng Baogong avenged his personal revenge and tortured him to induce a confession.

Feng Bao played a trick, he asked for an order, and ordered the three courts to cooperate with Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the five yamen to interrogate Minister Wang!

In front of Jinyiwei and Sanfasi, if Minister Wang confessed to Gao Gong, no one would say that Sanfasi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang conspired to induce a confession through torture, right?
Feng Bao is indeed very smart!It's a pity that Cheng Yaojin broke out halfway.
