Chapter 258 Eliminate Luo Sigong's henchmen (2)
The Nanfu Department of Jinyiwei is specially used to detain criminals in the Jinyiwei. Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing have been detained here for more than half a year. In the past six months, Luo Sigong and his son have not been severely tortured, but have been treated preferentially. The father and son each have a single room, and the beds are replaced with clean new bedding. Every day, people go to the hotel outside to buy food to serve them. The oil lamp is lit in the house, providing good lighting so that they can read books. In the past six months, Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing, who were detained in the Nanfu Department of Nanyiwei, have not only lost weight, but have gained weight.
"Bang" The door of the imperial prison opened, and Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong walked into the cell where Luo Sigong was imprisoned.
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Governor Luo, don't be fine. The last time I parted, it's been more than half a year. Today we meet again! Our family is fighting the rebellion in Shandong, but we think about Governor Luo every day."
"Bah!" Luo Sigong spitted on Zhang Yong's face with thick phlegm, "Little Catty Dog! Despicable and shameless!"
Zhang Yong took out a handkerchief and wiped off the phlegm on his face, but still had a smile on his face: "Governor Luo, don't speak so badly. What is a catfish? The Warriors of the Factory are all here, we are all doing things for the Emperor, and we are only loyal to the Emperor Zhu family! But Governor Luo, you have done something too much. If we are the Warriors of the Factory, we should obey the Emperor unconditionally. Look at what kind of management have you been in charge of the Jinyiwei over the years? The Jinyiwei is inferior to others outside! No matter how corrupt officials are rampant, they are still under the name of the Eagle Claw Sun! How many brothers of the Jinyiwei outside can't even pay the salary, the family is hungry, and they can't even collect the reasonable and legal Ping An Yin, because there is no one outside that knows which shop's backstage boss is a big boss in the court, and they can't afford to offend! The brothers of the Jinyiwei live a tight life, and they have a family of big and big to support them!"
Luo Sigong replied unwillingly, "The late emperor killed many upright officials just for the sake of Concubine Zheng, the vixen. The late emperor, who had not attended court for 30 years, never listened to anyone's advice, neglected the queen, was fascinated by the vixen, and harmed the officials in the court. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, I was not only obeyed the emperor. What I wanted to do was to restore the court's bright world and create an era of full dynasties!"
"What a lot of people are in the court!" Gao Shixin sneered, "Governor Luo, do you know how much silver there is in the family of the former chief minister Li Sancai? There are five million taels of silver in just now! It's almost as good as the money saved by the late emperor for almost fifty years! Li Sancai's family also controlled the canal transportation, and the grain could be cut off at any time! The salt in Lianghuai, and their family also intervened! Just such a big borer, not only escaped from the law, but also controlled the canal transportation of the Ming Dynasty! Isn't this your dereliction of duty by Governor Luo?"
Luo Sigong retorted with a verbal retort: "Which Ming official is not like this? If you rely solely on the salary of the court, even supporting your family will be a problem! An ordinary local official, even a county magistrate, has to pay for his master and keep a sedan chair and a groom. If you rely solely on salary, even if you spend fire and Bing Jing, you will probably have to live like Haigangfeng. You have to farm on your own, and you will even be picky when buying meat once! It is not easy for scholars. After ten years of hard work, you finally passed the exam. A few people are willing to live like Haigangfeng! If you have the ability, you will capture all the officials in the world! The Taizu of the past, even if he peeled and cut grass, could not stop the officials from being greedy, let alone now!"
Zhang Yongdao: "Governor Luo, you are right! We see all these things, and this is what we plan to change. However, over the past 250 years of Ming Dynasty, the accumulated problems have been accumulated for a long time. It is not something that can be done in one day or two, and it is not something that can be done in one or two years. This can only take it slowly. Therefore, we can only turn a blind eye to most officials. But Li Sancai is different. Before, the emperor repaired the three halls, but why did he not complete it for twenty-four years? Even the wood cannot be purchased? Isn't it because Li Sancai handled the timber purchased by the palace? Li Sancai embezzled the timber purchased by the palace three times and sold it to the Donglin Party of Jiangnan to build a garden. How much did this thief embezzle from it? This greed for the royal property of the Imperial Household is a death sentence. This old thief even used the canal transport ships he controlled to secretly sell grain to Jiannu from the pass! Are these crimes not enough?"
When Zhang Yong talked about Li Sancai's crimes, Luo Sigong was shocked: "If it were said that Li Sancai was corrupt and Xu Zhaokui impeached Li Sancai, this matter is well known to everyone; but if the food was sold to Jiannu, is there any evidence for this matter?"
"Of course there is!" Zhang Yong sneered, "Don't think that our Dongchang is not as good as your Jinyiwei! Since our family took over Dongchang, we have begun to investigate Li Sancai! Governor Luo, if you are wiser, you should report Li Sancai's crimes. As long as you report this thief's crime, you can leave here. If you insist on doing your own thing, it will only make the brothers of Jinyiwei embarrassed."
Luo Sigong was still stubborn: "I want me to help you frame the upright Donglin Party members, you dream!"
Zhang Yong stopped talking, Gao Shixin turned his head and snapped his fingers.
Four Jinyiwei walked in, took Luo Sigong out of the single cell, and into an interrogation room. The door opened, and as soon as Luo Sigong stepped into the interrogation room, he was stunned: his son Luo Yangxing was tied to an interrogation chair, and two burly men stood on both sides.
"Cast dog! You! What do you want to do?" Luo Sigong turned his head and looked at Zhang Yong in horror.
Zhang Yong still had a smile on his face: "I didn't want to do anything. As long as Governor Luo can cooperate and report Li Sancai's crimes, we will let you father and son return to the single cell, and then wait for the imperial edict. Governor Luo, don't worry, as long as you report Li Sancai's merits, Your Majesty will definitely not kill you, nor will you do anything to you. Your Majesty has arranged your place for you, and you will still be an official in Fujian. If you refuse to cooperate, then the noble prince will inevitably suffer."
"Bah! My Luo family is full of loyalty and wise men. How could I, Luo Sigong, betray Mr. Li just because of my son!" Luo Sigong roared angrily.
Zhang Yong continued to smile and said, "Governor Luo, this method was taught by your original brothers, and it was their letter of submission to us."
Only then did Luo Sigong recognize that the two Jinyiwei standing behind his son were actually people under his confidant Wu Mengming!
The door opened, and Wu Mengming walked in and saluted Gao Shixin: "Sir Gao, don't worry, I, Wu Mengming, are also loyal to Your Majesty. I, will definitely pry Luo Sigong's mouth open for Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, and for Eunuch Zhang!"
"What a vicious little castrated dog!" Luo Sigong cursed.
"Hahaha!" Gao Shixin snapped his fingers at the two Jinyiwei, "Since Governor Luo doesn't care about his son, then start to do it!"
"Get order!" The two Jinyiwei immediately took action, untied Luo Yangxing's rope, then tied him to a door panel, raised the footsteps of the door panel, covered his face with a thick towel. Another Jinyiwei brought a bucket of water from outside and opened the lid. As soon as he opened the lid, Luo Sigong smelled a pungent spicy smell.
The Jinyiwei picked up the gourd ladle, scooped out a full scoop of pepper water from the bucket, and slowly poured it onto the towel. The white towel suddenly turned red.
Luo Sigong saw his son struggling desperately. Through the towel, he could see Luo Yangxing's mouth open desperately, but he couldn't scream at all. He could only hear the "woof" sound, as if he was suffering great pain.
After two scoops of chili water were put down, about a minute later, Gao Shixin asked someone to lift the towel.
Luo Yangxing squirted out a mouthful of red pepper water, and the pepper water flowed out of his nose. His eyes were so spicy that he closed his eyes and did not dare to open his eyes. After a while, Luo Yangxing shouted: "Dad, save your son!"
