A group of people were waiting in the middle hall, and a slave in the mansion said: When the master heard that Eunuch Cao and others were visiting, he asked Eunuch Cao to wait for a moment and allow the master to change his clothes before meeting the guests.
Cao Fu nodded and sat down on the Grand Master's chair in the central hall without any invitation. Du Erlang also came over to sit next to him.
After waiting for a while, Yang Gong came to the central hall and bowed: You guys are visiting overnight, and you are rude.
Wherever.Cao Fu said.
Mr. Yang has put on a brand new robe, the lining is spotless, the boots are new, and the head is wearing a square scarf and the clothes are very neat.
At this time, the soldiers of the Jinyiwei came up with a wooden box, opened it, and placed a pot of wine and a cup on the wooden plate.
Cao Fu said to Lian, who was standing next to him: This is Yang Gong, the father of Yang Ji.If he wants to see you, you can toast him with a glass of wine and don’t lose your etiquette.
Lian felt something was strange, but the atmosphere was very relaxed and polite, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.She was not willing, she was a little hesitant, and her eyes showed resentment.
However, Cao Fu nodded to her. This eunuch could go all out and lead people to see the emperor directly. Lian had no way to get help from even one official before asking his father to sue her.
Lian had to bear it, lifted the wine pot and poured a glass of wine, and then delivered it to Mr. Yang, without saying anything.
Mr. Yang reached out and held it up, without looking at Lian Shi at the right moment, but just looked at the night sky outside the door.He showed a sad expression and sighed: The world is like a dream.
He then asked Cao Fu: Is there anything that the King of Han said?
Cao Fu smiled when he heard this title, and nodded, saying: The emperor said, "Mr. Yang is the dying day for my elder brother, and it is respected."Except for those in Beijing, relatives, teachers, students, friends, and people in the same county and village were pardoned. This matter ended here.Gonghui Yang was sent back to his hometown for burial.
Mr. Yang nodded, raised his head and poured all the wine.
A moment later, blood was soaked from his mouth, and suddenly he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
He stared at him, bleeding from his eyes and nose!
Clang, the cup fell to the ground.
Lian opened his eyes wide, his hands and feet trembled, and he hurriedly took two steps back.
When she turned around, she saw Cao Fu and Du Erlang standing behind her, holding their fists and bowing to Yang Gong.Perhaps it is because the emperor said that Yang Gong’s Day of Death is respected.
Soon there were screams and shouts coming from the north, and Lian's mind went blank and he left the central hall.
At this time, several men were held down, and someone was running, but they were soon chopped over to the ground by the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard.The smell of blood quickly spread in the air.Lian opened his mouth wide, but could not make any sound.
Woof... The barking of a dog on her leash made her come to her senses a little.
Bang!With a string, an arrow broke through the air, shooting the dog through and whimpered in a pool of blood.
Then a sergeant took a knife and stabbed the bird in the cage under the eaves several times, and the feathers stained with blood floated down from the cage.
And a ray of light behind the central hall seemed to have caught fire.
Cao Fu picked up a single knife from the ground and stuffed it into Lian's hand, saying: Your husband was beaten to death by a group of people. These servants have a share, kill them!
Lian shook his head desperately, trying to escape, but his arm was grabbed by Cao Fu.
She stared at the eunuch next to her. She was obviously a smiling and amiable person. She suddenly wanted to change her personal life, and her eyes were chilling.
Cao Fu grabbed her hand and approached a person's chest.
Lian struggled quickly and threw the knife away with a clang.
Cao Fu also gave up and waved.
At this time, several soldiers rushed forward, some stabbed the men hard, some raised a knife with both hands, and slashed a man's neck with a click, and a burst of blood suddenly came out.
Lian felt a hot face, and looked down and saw that blood was already splashing on his chest.
Another servant was stabbed in the stomach and screamed loudly.Lian Shi looked at the scene, opened her mouth and retching, her heart trembled, and she almost fainted. Today's scene was completely out of her imagination.
Some soldiers took torches to light firewood under the eaves, and some lit arrows wrapped in oil cloth, and shot arrows on the roof.The surroundings were filled with smoke, the corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing all over the ground, like hell.
Then everyone left the gate one after another and closed the courtyard gate.Everyone stood outside and watched the fire for a while, and Cao Fu said: Send someone to Shangyuan County to report to the officials, and the county officials sent someone to put out the fire.
At this moment, the general named Du Erlang said: The seats in the Pear Garden are not easy to book. Eunuch Cao wants to go there one day, so you can find me.
Cao Fu said: OK, thank you in advance... General Du has killed someone before?
Du Erlang said: I have killed several of the deposed princelings.
Scared?Cao Fu asked.
Du Erlang said: I am afraid but not afraid, and I don’t have to take responsibility. They should have died.At first I was very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep at night. I always felt like there were ghosts, but later I got used to it.
Cao Fu nodded and repeated: Killing is the most fearful thing to be responsible.He also said that after the emperor ascended the throne, not many people died.In the early years of Yongle, our family followed our emperor.
Du Erlang said: Eunuch Cao will come back first, I have to stay and have a post-care.
Cao Fu said yes, and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Lian: Wipe it.
Lian was stunned and said nothing. At this time, he looked at Cao Fu with a confused look.Cao Fu pointed to his face, wiped the blood, and fucked it in a while.
Lian took the handkerchief blankly, and there were also a lot of blood on her clothes.
The two of them got on the carriage, and the groom began to catch the carriage, and some followers also got on the horse and followed.Night fell, but it was not very late.Cao Fu and Lian returned to the palace and went to the Rouyi Palace.
Cao Fu said: The emperor may wait for the result of this kind of thing on the same day.
The lights in Rouyi Palace were still on, and the emperor had indeed not left.Cao Fu and the others entered and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting on the chair.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes stayed on Lian's bloody clothes for a while, asking them to exempt them from gifts.
Cao Fu stood up and said respectfully: Report to the emperor, everything is done.General Du is still on the spot to deal with the aftermath. The Jinyiwei should submit a memorial to the Tongzheng Department early tomorrow morning.Due to the impeachment of several court officials, Yang Gong died of fear of crime and burned himself to death.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Very good.After saying that, he stood up from the chair and covered the file in front of him.He walked under the table and stopped in front of Lian.
Lian was a little at a loss, but looked up at Zhu Gaoxu with a graceful look.
Has the hatred been resolved?Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Don't you need to seek justice?"
Lian shook his head and trembled: I don’t know.
Zhu Gaoxu said: If Yang Ji has a murder case, Yingtianfu will openly interrogate and then deal with it according to the Ming Dynasty law. You can go and see it.However, if you want to go to Caishikou to see the beheading, you have to wait for a while. The death penalty for the government procedure needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice.The plots are handled openly.This will also allow people to know how bad the deposed prince’s party was, and how dark the government was during the period when the deposed prince was in power.
Lian fell to the ground and said, "Thank you for your kindness and avenge your slaves."
Zhu Gaoxu said: I said that in principle, I have no kindness to you.But the person you hate is definitely not me.
He made a false support action: Get up.He didn't even touch Lian's family at all.
Lian thanked him again.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment, you don’t need to repay your kindness.You can go home, let go of your past grudges and live a good life.
Where to go?Lian blurted out.
Zhu Gaoxu said: It's OK.
After saying that, he did not walk out the door, but walked slowly for two steps. It seems that you have been in the Ministry of Justice for a while. Do you still have money after you come out? What kind of livelihood do you rely on?
Lian said: My husband's family used to be in the capital, and I had a friend in my boudoir, so I put my money on her.After leaving the cell, I asked her to get some money to make a living.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her old clothes and seemed to be unable to get them all back.
Lian looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise and suddenly felt his eyes bright.
Zhu Gaoxu said to Cao Fu: Compensate Lian to wear new clothes, no matter whether you stay or not, don’t make things difficult for her.
Cao Fu said: I will obey the order.
After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he walked out of the palace gate, and the palace servants standing outside followed.
Sent to the emperor.Cao Fu stood there and bent down.When the emperor's figure disappeared, Cao Fu straightened up and turned to look at Lian. It was already dark, so our family will arrange a place for you to live.
Lian said: Thank you, Eunuch Cao.
Let's go.Cao Fu walked outside first, and after a while he said without looking back, "How many women want to be lucky for the emperor, you are lucky in disguise."
Lian whispered: It would be better if there were no misfortune at home, and there was nothing left now. Then she murmured, before her husband passed away, she said she didn't want to leave after she woke up... She was a little choked when she said this. Yang Ji said that his husband deserved to die in vain. Where did he deserve it? Is life not as good as a rooster of his? I couldn't swallow that breath in my heart.
Cao Fu said: Now?
Lian thought for a while and said: It’s empty.Seeing that the Yang family was so miserable, he didn't even let go of a bird.Yang Ji seemed to be unable to be proud anymore.
Cao Fu said kindly again, "What our family said to them is not to kill chickens and dogs." Why do you think our family can't get along with a dog?But those warriors are straight.By the way, if you stay in Beijing, you will not be able to see Yang Ji beheaded.
Lian Shi said: I don’t want to see it anymore. Why did I struggle until now?
Cao Fu seemed unable to answer.
Lian turned around and said: Eunuch Cao asked me to do some laundry and cleaning work. I have understood in recent years that I have no ability and I am afraid that I can only do a crude benzene work to repay the emperor.
Cao Fu smiled: If you have this heart, our family will not be in vain.
Cao Fu nodded and sat down on the Grand Master's chair in the central hall without any invitation. Du Erlang also came over to sit next to him.
After waiting for a while, Yang Gong came to the central hall and bowed: You guys are visiting overnight, and you are rude.
