Outside Guangqu Gate, Wang Pu Daying.

It was getting late, and Zhen Youcai was talking to Xiaoqi and Amu, Scarface suddenly entered the bill with a dark face. Xiaoqi quickly got up and asked, "Scarface, is there any news?"

"Yes." Scarface replied tangibly, "The retrial result of the bearded case has come out. He is not a deserter. He will be released from prison tomorrow afternoon."

"Who the hell asked you about the bearded man?" Xiaoqi said anxiously, "I'm asking the general."

"General!?" A beast-like light suddenly appeared in Scarface's eyes, staring at Zhen Youcai viciously and said, "The general has news. I will be taken to Caishikou with the slave chief tomorrow at noon... Lingchi will be executed!"

"What?"

"Lingchi executed?"

Xiaoqi and Amu were shocked when they heard this, and Zhen Youcai also took a breath.

"Zhen Youcai, you turtle!" Scarface rushed forward in two steps and picked up Zhen Youcai, cursing fiercely, "It's all your bad ideas, it's all your bad ideas! I'll strangle you to death now..."

As Scarface said, he opened his big hand and pinched Zhen Youcai's neck tightly. Zhen Youcai was short and thin, how could he be the opponent of Scarface? In less than a moment, Scarface was pinched to death by Scarface. However, Xiaoqi and Amu had not yet come back to their senses from the shock and had no time to care about it.

At this moment, a delicate voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Scarface, are you saying true?"

Scarface turned around and saw that it was Chen Yuanyuan, and he couldn't help but relax his hands. Zhen Youcai took the opportunity to shout, "Madam, help..."

"puff!"

Scarface punched Zhen Youcai hard on the back of the head. Zhen Youcai's eyes turned black and fainted. Scarface threw Zhen Youcai as limp as cotton to Amu and shouted, "Amu, I've just taken this dog. We haven't come back tomorrow until noon, so you cut the dog."

Amu said, dragging Zhen Youcai down.

"Scarface." Chen Yuanyuan asked again, "Are you all said just now true?"

Scar lowered his head and replied sadly: "Madam, this is all true. The Dog Emperor's imperial edict has been issued and the notice has been posted."

Chen Yuanyuan staggered suddenly, and her appearance was bleak in an instant.

Scarface and Xiaoqi quickly reached out to support him, but they shrank back halfway through, Chen Yuanyuan shook her head gently, trying her best to calm the chaotic heart down, and said to Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi, can you ask for something?"

Xiaoqi said: "Madam, just give me orders."

"Can you buy me two coffins?" Chen Yuanyuan said sadly, "Just get a good nanmu and another ordinary pinemu."

"Two coffins?" Xiaoqi said in surprise, "Madam, are you?"

"The best nanmu coffin is used to bury my husband." Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice, "The ordinary pine coffin is left for me."

Xiaoqi and Scarface were shocked and said, "Madam, you..."

Two lines of clear tears slowly slid down their pale cheeks. Chen Yuanyuan said sadly: "If my husband is gone, I don't want to live anymore. After noon tomorrow, my husband will really be gone. I also have to ask you to help me with my husband. I don't want to be buried with the general, I just want to be buried next to him. Don't be too far away..."

Xiaoqi, Scarface is speechless.

"Please trouble you guys."

Chen Yuanyuan bowed deeply to Xiaoqi and Scarface again, then turned around and left.

Watching Chen Yuanyuan's figure disappear into the darkness, Scarface suddenly turned around and left. Xiaoqi asked anxiously, "Scarface, what are you doing?"

"What else can you do?" Scar roared with a dark face, "I'll call my brothers to rob the heavenly prison and save people!"

"Scarface, come back, please use your brain to think about it?" Xiao Qihuo said: "There are thousands of Beijing camps outside the camp guarding you, how can you go out? Besides, the gates of the outer and inner cities of Beijing have been closed. With more than 200 people, can we still break the gates?"

"Why is that much nonsense?" Scarface said impatiently, "Anyway, I'm just trying."

Xiao Qi was angry and said, "You can't save the general if you do this recklessly, you can only take your brothers to die."

"What do you think you should do?" Scar squatted to the ground, hugged his head and cried, "The general will be executed by Lingchi at noon tomorrow. We can't stand it and refuse to save him, right?"

Xiaoqi said in a deep voice: "We have to ask Mr. Zhen about this."

"Ask that dog?" Scarface shouted, "You still ask him! The general's fate is all because of the bad idea that the dog came up with. Do you still have to listen to him?"

"You know what's the matter." Xiao Qi said furiously, "Mr. Zhen has always been loyal to the general from Liaodong to the capital. He will not harm the general. Let's go and find Mr. Zhen now."

After saying that, Xiaoqi turned around and left.

Scarface groaned and followed reluctantly.

The cabinet chief Zhou Yanru fell ill in the past few days.

However, although Zhou Yanru did not attend court, he knew the movements in the court, because every night, Zhou Yanru's disciples and former officials would gather in his mansion to report the latest updates in the court. It was not that the sky was just dark, and the disciples and former officials led by Gong Ding and Wang Xiyan gathered at the palace again.

Wang Xiyan said: "Gei Master, Long Sui has approved the memorials of Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others. Wang Pu was sentenced to prison and will be taken to Caishikou at noon tomorrow. In addition, Chen Xinjia seems to be in trouble."

Gong Ding said evilly: "When the officials heard the news, Liu Zhouzong, Li Banghua and other clear streams grabbed Wang Pu and were the confidants recommended by Chen Xinjia. They listed the so-called eight major crimes and wanted to overthrow Chen Xinjia tomorrow morning! According to Xia Guan, Chen Xinjia is afraid that this time, this time it will be difficult for Chen Xinjia to escape."

"No." Zhou Yanru said disapprovingly, "You are too arrogant to see those Qingliu, and they can't control them."

Gong Dingniely said: "What does Ge Lao mean?"

Zhou Yanrudao: "In my opinion, this storm has passed! The three trials have been concluded. The bearded man was completely framed by Zhao Wuzhu. In this way, Wang Pu's actions to resist the order and then rob the court are justified. It is reasonable for the sake of the situation. Tomorrow, you and I will submit a joint report with you to request that the emperor be forgiven for all the guilt of Wang Pu!"

"ah?"

"But Wang Pu has been sentenced to death by Master Long Live!"

"Gei Master, at this time, isn't that right to be right with Master Long live?"

Wang Xiyan, Gong Dingnie and others looked at each other, not knowing what Zhou Yanru sold in the gourd.

Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "If I were to escort Wang Pu and not to let him go, I really wouldn't dare to draw a conclusion. But now Wang Pu has been sentenced and is the most cruel punishment. But I dare to assert that Master Wansui is clearly hinting that we ministers are going to give in and let us die tomorrow to protect Wang Pu!"

"Oh, so that's it."

"Yes, even if Wang Pu deserves to be killed, he should not be sentenced to death. It turns out that there is a lot of articles here!"

"I am worthy of being a magistrate, and I have unique vision!"

"We jointly submitted a report to protect Wang Pu, which not only catered to the true intentions of Long Live, but also took the opportunity to show goodwill between Wang Pu and Chen Xinjia. It can be said that it was a killing two birds with one stone."

Wang Xiyan, Gong Dingnie and other disciples were already impressed by Zhou Yanru. He would leave a way out in advance for Emperor Chongzhen to say and do whatever he said and did. To put it nicely, he was cunning and deep, and to put it bluntly, he was always ready to put the responsibility on his subjects. Therefore, when the ministers figured out his thoughts, the consequences would be very serious.

Zhou Yanru is undoubtedly an expert in judging the will of the saint.

Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen finally finished the last memorial, stretched his waist long and asked Wang Chengen, who was standing beside the imperial case, and said, "Where is Chengen?"

Wang Chengen quickly bent down and replied, "I am here."

"How many days will it be updated now?"

"Long live back, it's already the fourth day."

"The fourth update?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the dark night outside the hall and said in a somewhat lonely manner, "The fourth update is now, it's a new day."

Wang Chengen didn't dare to respond. He knew what Long Sui was thinking now.

It is already the fourth day, and it will be noon in four hours. At noon, the general of Datong, Wang Pu, should be taken to Caishikou to be executed with Jiannunu Chief Huang Taiji!

"Where is Cheng'en?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked, "There is something you must answer me truthfully."

Wang Chengen responded respectfully: "I obey the order, and I will definitely answer truthfully."

Emperor Chongzhen asked leisurely: "Did I do something wrong with Wang Pu?"

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "Long live the emperor did nothing wrong."

Chongzhen asked again: "Is Wang Pu wrong to say so?"

Wang Chengen said: "Long live, Wang Pu is right."

Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't understand this. There should be someone between me and Wang Pu who is wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fuss like this?"

Wang Chengen said: "Longsui forced Wang Pu to divorce his wife and remarry, because he considered the issue from the emperor's standpoint, and for the country of Ming Dynasty, so there was nothing wrong. Wang Pu did not want to divorce his wife and remarry, because he considered the issue from the perspective of a husband. He was unwilling to abandon his wife, so it was nothing wrong, but... what Wang Pu insisted on is big and big, while what Wang Pu was obsessed with was small and small, so the two cannot be confused."

Wang Chengen's words were not just a simple matter of flattering Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen forced Wang Pu so much for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!

Wang Pu is indeed a talented general, but he is so capable that Emperor Chongzhen dared not use him with confidence!

Wang Pu was able to destroy Shengjing with just a thousand lonely cavalry and capture Huang Taiji alive. Wang Pu did it without any effort! Emperor Chongzhen could not help but worry. If one day Wang Pu wanted to rebel, would he be able to capture Beijing with more than a thousand lonely cavalry?

After all, Wang Pu is a martial artist, so he is not as loyal as those civil officials who come from the imperial examination!

In the past few days, Wang Pu's resistance to the imperial edict and the robbery of the law were reported. Emperor Chongzhen was furious and calmed down and thought about it. The matter was as Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian said. Wang Pu was just a scheming person who valued love and righteousness. No matter how arrogant such a person was, he would not have been overwhelmed. If Ru'er could always be with him, there would be no problem.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen for a long time and suddenly sighed: "Oh, Chengen, you know what I think best."

Wang Chengen was a eunuch, and all his thoughts were on serving Emperor Chongzhen. It was no exaggeration to say that if Emperor Chongzhen sticks out his butt, Wang Chengen would know whether he wants to urinate or poop? Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts could naturally not escape Wang Chengen's eyes at this moment, so he comforted him: "Long live, don't worry, Master Zhou will definitely go to court to protect Wang Pu this morning."
