Chapter 229 Conscience's Condemnation

"Uncle, didn't you listen to Ke's mother and bring Wei Chao to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb? We can send someone to bring Wei Chao back, put him into the palace and lock him up, and then ask him to confess that Luo Sigong colluded with Wang An and put Wang Wenyan as a commoner into the imperial city without authorization, so that we can also pull Luo Sigong into the water!" Zhang Yongdao. However, when he said this, his few conscience still hurt a little, after all, Wei Chao was the great benefactor of Zhang Yong's entry into the palace.

The Wei Dynasty was kind to Wei Zhongxian. Didn’t Wei Zhongxian send Wei Chao to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb? Zhang Yong became even more vicious and was going to attack this great benefactor and wanted to use him to confess the collusion between Wang An and Wang Wenyan, and involve Luo Sigong, and plan to use Wei Chao to bite Yang Lian and others into it.

As for the use of Wei Dynasty, after all the use value was exhausted, it would be impossible for him to survive. He was either a white silk or a glass of poisonous wine. In short, if such dirty things were done, he would definitely kill someone to silence him.

After hearing Zhang Yong's plan, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed: "A clever plan! OK! Then follow yours!"

Zhang Yong thought to himself: Grandpa Wei Dynasty, you treat me Zhang Yong as much as a mountain, but I am sorry to you when I treat you like this. But there is no way. For the sake of our Ming Dynasty, we can only eradicate the treacherous and slandered people in Donglin! For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we have to sacrifice you.

To capture the Wei Dynasty from Fengyang, there is no need for any clerks to be given by the Criminal Department, as long as the emperor has a decree. During the Ming Dynasty, although the eunuchs looked majestic outside, their power was actually given by the emperor, and the emperor had the power to kill them. If the king wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die. This was useless to civil officials in the court, but to deal with the eunuchs in the palace, he still wanted him to die. This was the emperor's words.

Even if the powerful Eunuch Wei was nine thousand years old, he was easily taken down by Chongzhen later? The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty did not really hold power like the eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty. It was impossible for the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty to kill the emperor in the Ming Dynasty to happen in the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Zhongxian quickly received the imperial edict. The little carpenter didn't like the Wei Dynasty, and heard Wei Zhongxian say that a group of Donglin Party could be found through the Wei Dynasty. So he gave Wei Zhongxian the imperial edict without hesitation, asking him to send two Dongchang men to take Wei Chao back to the capital from Fengyang and take him to the palace for interrogation.

When the two Dongchang men received the order, Wei Zhongxian was still worried and told them carefully: "Eunuch Wei must be allowed to return to the capital alive! If Wei Chao dies, you two will be buried with him!"

"No!" The two men dared to be negligent, so they knelt down and bowed.

Two men left the capital on a fast boat and rushed to Fengyang day and night. The speed of the paddlings was extremely fast. Every hour of sailing, a boatman came to change shifts. The boat speed could reach eight knots, which was nearly fifteen kilometers per hour, which was sixty miles per hour, reaching the speed of later bicycles. The speed of the capital to Fengyang was more than 1,800 miles. The speed of the day and night was deducted from the changer's time, the time to get off the boat to buy food, and the time to pass the lock, and the time to sail 600 miles per day and night. It took only three days to get from Beijing to Fengyang.

Seeing that the Dongchang Actor came to mention that he was back to Beijing, Wei Chao was very honest and cooperative, so he followed the two Actors on board.

It took only seven days from Fanzi leaving Jing to escorting Wei Chao back to the capital from Fengyang. Fanzi of Dongchang took Wei Chao back to the palace, and Wei Zhongxian arranged a small room for storing miscellaneous items from the palace to act as a cell for temporary detention of Wei Chao, and detained him inside.

"Eunuch Wei, our family has no choice but to do it. The emperor issued an imperial edict, and our family has to do this." Wei Zhongxian's only little conscience felt a little painful. The man in front of him was kind to him, but his wife who he was robbed of was also sent to Fengyang by himself. Now, in order to deal with the Donglin Party, he took this man back from Fengyang and was taken into the palace to be detained.

Wei Chao burst into tears: "Jinzhong, we are all slaves for the emperor. If the emperor wants us to die, we have to die. If the emperor wants us to do whatever the emperor wants us to do, we will do whatever the emperor wants us to do. Our family will know that there will be one day when we talk about the guest Yinyue. When it comes to the guest Yinyue, our family is too busy and neglected her, so our family doesn't blame you. In fact, our family also knows that it must be Yinyue's idea to let our family go to Fengyang to guard the tomb. Am I right?"

Wei Zhongxian's only remaining conscience hurt even more. He and Wei Chao were in a sympathetic relationship with his brother, but he snatched his brother's wife and caused his brother to be sent to Fengyang to die. It was precisely because of this that Kebaba asked Wei Zhongxian to send someone to kill Wei Chao several times, but Wei Zhongxian did not agree. Kebaba was already ready to send someone to do it himself, but after hearing the imperial edict, he said that the emperor wanted to take Wei Chao back to the palace for disposal.

"Brother, I'm really sorry for you, but there's nothing I can do." Wei Zhongxian's eyes were wet.

"Jinzhong, I have another request before I die. Can I let me see Yin Yue again?" Wei Chao said whimpering.

"We'll let Yin Yue come to see you now." Wei Zhongxian said. He knew that Wei Chao was taken back to the palace this time and it would be impossible for him to go out alive. He couldn't bear to kill him, but neither Kebaba nor his vicious nephew would let him go!

Two hours later, a young eunuch brought food to Wei Chao: "Eunuch Wei, please use it slowly."

The food was pretty good, with meat and eggs. After all, Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Yong were still not completely eaten by the dog. Wei Chao was eating and stopped opening it, and a woman in the palace dress walked into the house.

"Yin Yue, are you?" Wei Chao put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the woman affectionately.

"It's my family, let's see how you are now!" Kebaba said coldly, with determination and indifference on his face.

"Yin Yue, after all, we are married, why do you treat our family like this?" Wei Chao's heart was as if he was broken.

"Ask yourself!" Ke Yinyue turned his head, "If you hadn't neglected me for Wang An, why would we have come to this point today? Wei Chao, you also know that you would not have the chance to leave alive when you return to Beijing this time! Wang An is already dead, you don't have to die for him anymore. It's better to cooperate with us honestly and tell us everything you know. For the sake of our husband and wife, I can still help you plead for the emperor and spare your life!"

"Yin Yue, thank you. I will definitely say everything I know!" Wei Chao whimpered.

Kebaba turned his head and walked out of the door without looking back. The prison door closed with a "bang".

Wei Chao quickly stood up, lay his head in front of the railing, and looked at the departing back outside the window. He saw that the familiar figure did not look back at all and disappeared outside the moon gate in the deep palace.

That night, Wei Zhongxian came to Wei Chao again: "Brother, have Kebaba come?"

"I've been here." Wei Chao nodded.

"What did Madam Fengsheng say to you?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"She still remembers the relationship, saying that as long as I can report all Wang An and others, she will plead with the emperor and let me go out of the palace to the imperial tomb for retirement." Wei Chao replied.

Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly in his heart: You don’t know how vicious this woman is! She must die, and I can’t save you. But Wei Zhongxian still said, “Brother, just listen to her and honestly tell us what we need, she will save you.”

Wei Chao nodded with a sob.

"Sunny, come in!" Wei Zhongxian shouted outside the door.

Zhang Yong's godson Fan Xin walked in: "Old ancestor, I am here."

"Sun son, sit down and our family will ask Eunuch Wei's questions later. You can record all the records. After the records are made, just ask Eunuch Wei to draw a ban." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Yes, ancestors, grandson understand!" Fan Xin knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
