Chapter 1 Death Row Start

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, March 9th.

Baoding Mansion, in the dark and gloomy death row.

Wang Hongyu woke up suddenly. The pain all over his body made him grit his teeth, and he was able to hold back from screaming.

But more than the pain, what surprised him more was that he had traveled through time.

A flood of memories quickly came to mind.

I, Wang Hongyu, am from the Military and Civil Affairs Bureau of Zunyi, Sichuan. I am now 19 years old. I became a martial arts examiner in the Sichuan martial arts examination last year... I have the same name and surname, and I am still a martial arts examiner. Can I apply for World Heritage~

He is 1.83 meters tall, weighs 150, has a slender and powerful body, and has a flamboyant beard on his face, which conceals his very handsome face.

His father made great contributions to quelling the Bozhou Rebellion and settled in the Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. However, his mother also died early due to illness, and later his father also died of a recurrence of his old illness.

Before his death, my father told himself a big secret:

Our family is the descendant of the Marquis who founded the Ming Dynasty. From now on, you will be an opposition Marquis!

"What is a Wild Marquis?"

"You're going to piss me off.

Not a wild marquis, but a wild marquis!

Our family is the descendant of Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan who founded the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of which, Wang Hongyu really knew about Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan.

I have a friend who likes rankings of military skills of generals very much, and is obsessed with generals in the early Ming Dynasty.

According to his introduction, according to romance novels, Chang Mao and Tian Zaibiao were the strongest in the early Ming Dynasty.

According to history, the most powerful generals in the early Ming Dynasty were Chang Yuchun, Hua Yun and Wang Bi.

Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, had partnered with almost all the top generals in the early Ming Dynasty and was active on various fronts. He was even praised by Chang Yuchun for his martial arts and entrusted with the important task of rushing into battle at critical moments.

However, Wang Bi was executed for being involved in the Lan Jade case, and his family was exiled to the southwest. His descendants gradually fell out of the public eye, but in fact they continued to serve the Ming Dynasty silently.

Therefore, the Marquis of Dingyuan was a deposed marquis, but his descendants and friends did not call him that. Instead, he was euphemistically called the "opposition marquis".

With such a background, when Wang Hongyu was young, he was accepted as a disciple by Liu Dadao, the most powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty, and was taught some martial arts skills.

However, Liu Wei died in the battle of Saarhu last year...

It's okay, I still have two senior friends - Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu. They are Liu Wei's subordinates and fellow countrymen respectively. They are like relatives, watching him grow up.

However, a few years ago, the two decisively attacked the errant chieftain, were falsely accused, wronged and imprisoned...

Two years ago, Zhou Dunji committed a crime and was demoted to support the Liao guerrillas. Zhang Shenwu, on the other hand, had been idle at home for a long time and was only recently activated.

My parents were killed, my master was killed in battle, my best friend was wronged...

not enough!

At this moment, one of my own is on death row...

Last year he ranked first in the Sichuan martial arts examination. This year he went to Beijing to take part in the martial arts examination. On the way, he passed by Zhenjue Zen Temple in Baoding Prefecture and was suddenly arrested. He must have assassinated King Fu himself.

Assassinating King Fu... Oh my god, it's scary!

Who is King Fu? The most beloved son of Emperor Wanli. He wanted to be crowned prince, but fought with civil officials for decades before giving up and conferring the title of King Fu. He was later stewed in an iron pot by Li Zicheng...

Although it is Emperor Wanli's last year, the old emperor will not die of illness for three months, and his crime is to assassinate his most beloved son...

Of course King Fu was not dead, otherwise he would have been cut into pieces, and the one who was assassinated was one of King Fu's cronies.

"We must find a way to save ourselves."

His body is that of a martial artist, possessing both strength and skill. His physical fitness is so frightening that he might be able to destroy a prison...

However, leaving aside the shackles, even if you can escape, I'm afraid Jin Yiwei and Dongchang can beat him to pieces~

Is there any friend who can help?

"I have a friend who writes novels about the Ming Dynasty. He often tells me about things in the late Ming Dynasty..."

"I have a friend who writes hegemony novels. He is proficient in sailing battleships, cavalry artillery, and lining up to shoot..."

"I have a friend who writes Machiavellian novels. He is not only familiar with officialdom politics, but also other things such as business, industry, technology, farming, and the harem..."

I know a little bit about everything, I have many friends from all walks of life, I have rich theoretical knowledge, my mind is sharp and my logic is clear, and I can eat anywhere on the Internet.

However, these are all friends before time travel. The original owner’s friends and seniors in the Ming Dynasty cannot be contacted at all...

After thinking about it, I know very little about the assassination of King Fu. I just heard that a group of distinguished guests will arrive tomorrow when I move into Zhenjue Zen Temple. Of course, I have no interaction with the so-called distinguished guests, and I don't know that the distinguished guest is King Fu.

I originally planned to stay one night and leave immediately the next day. Unexpectedly, a murder occurred in Yinshi, and the deceased was a confidant of King Fu.

Then he was put on death row for assassinating King Fu.

Suddenly, the sound of chains came from the end of the gloomy corridor. The door opened, and someone must have come.

Wang Hongyu endured the pain in his body, remained seated, and calmly observed the situation.

A middle-aged jailer walked to his cell, observed it for a moment, and then shouted back: "He's awake!"

After shouting, he looked at himself with an evil look.

Then a group of people came from the far side of the corridor. Five or six jailers, like stars holding the moon in their arms, surrounded a man who looked like a scribe wearing a scholar's green robe and came in.

The middle-aged jailer said to the scribe respectfully: "Master scribe, this thief is Wang Hongyu."

The clerk nodded: "Master Yang ordered that no one else be allowed to enter, and guard the door."

"yes!"

Four jailers immediately went to the end of the cell to guard him, and the rest followed the clerk and stared at Wang Hongyu fiercely.

"If you see Mr. Yang's scribe, please kneel down quickly!" the middle-aged jailer Hu Jiehuwei shouted towards Wang Hongyu.

Hearing "Master Yang", his eyes rolled. There were not many Master Yang who lived in the 48th year of Wanli. It couldn't be...

Just as he was thinking about how to respond, a jailer who had just left hurriedly ran back, shouting as he ran: "Sir! There is someone outside who is eager to visit the prisoner and wants to see Wang Hongyu by name."

"If you want to visit the prison, you can visit the prison? Get back here!"

"They are from the army, some from the Baoding army, and..."

"Hmph! My lord is from the capital, Yang Lian, Lord Yang! Tell them that if you read just one book, they will die!" The scribe was arrogant, and he was extremely proud when he mentioned Yang Lian.

Wang Hongyu rolled his eyes... Isn't Yang Lian a backbone of Donglin, a super troublemaker with a tough temper and good at making trouble? No wonder the jailer would wag his tail to please a scribe with no class when he saw it. It turned out to be Yan

Official Yang Lian's person.

There are still some details. Just now the jailer said anxiously: The people outside who want to visit the prison are from the Baoding Army...

There is some information here that can be mined.

He is a military officer and has friends in the military, so it may be them who come to visit him in prison.

In addition, they are from the Baoding Army~

Does this indirectly convey the attitude of the Baoding Governor...

"Wang Hongyu, you dared to assassinate Prince Fu and killed Prince Fu's cronies. Can you be punished with death!?" Yang Lian's clerk seemed upright and insisted that Wang Hongyu be guilty of death.

Wang Hongyu simply ignored him.

"You will die if you don't speak. Your Majesty is furious and has sent my master here to kill you, a despicable and cunning assassin, with the most just and clear power in the sea!"

Still ignoring and thinking about the current situation.

Yang Lian's clerk just now tried his best to prevent people from the Baoding army from meeting me. The attitude of the Baoding army and the governor of Baoding must be different from Yang Lian's, which is why he worked so hard to prevent visits to the prison.

When the clerk saw that he was ignoring him at all, he stamped his feet angrily and said angrily: "Martial men have always been like dogs, kneeling and licking my master, and they were also respectful to the clerk. Now how dare he, a martial arts scholar, be so rude!"

"Beat him! Beat him until he confesses!" the scribe ordered to several jailers.

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud slap in the face, which stunned the scribe. He reached out and touched his red cheeks, and looked at Wang Hongyu in front of him in disbelief.

"You, you, you... hit me!"

"This is what you said~"

"Pah!" Wang Hongyu raised his hand and slapped the clerk on the face again. The speed was so fast that the guards nearby had no time to react.

"Ah! Fight!"

"Snapped!"

This time, the clerk Yang Lian was knocked to the ground. Only then did the guards around him react. They rolled up their sleeves, picked up whips, and drew knives, but they didn't dare to take action.

"You are Mr. Yang's scribe, right? You shouted three times to hit me, and I hit you three times. Can you try calling me three times?"

He glanced at the very nervous jailers next to him and said with a smile: "By the way, I am a martial arts examiner, and I ranked first in the Sichuan martial arts examination last year~"

Of course the jailers knew this. Seeing his gentle expression and warm smile, they felt frightened and all took a step back.

Suddenly, Wang Hongyu's expression changed, he pointed to his shackles and said, "By the way, I'm on death row in Baoding Mansion. It's inconvenient to wear shackles. Why don't you kill me quickly?"

No one dared to touch the jailer.

"Kill me! Come on! Cut it here!" Wang Hongyu looked furious, pointed at his head and shouted.

The jailers took a step back after hearing this. The middle-aged jailer lowered his head, not even daring to face his angry gaze.

Sure enough~

Yang Lian wants to kill herself, but the people in Baoding don't want to at all!

If the governor of Baoding wanted to kill him, he would have been tortured in prison long ago. It would be Yang Lian's turn for his clerk to come here to block outsiders.

Thanks to my friends, I am familiar with this period of history. I know that Han Jun, the governor of Baoding, was very different from the Donglin Party and was a more pragmatic and good official.

In addition, the clerk just kept talking about Yang Lian to suppress people and prevent people from the Baoding army from visiting the prison. It is estimated that Yang Lian himself is now dragging the governor Han Jun, hoping to isolate himself from the inside and outside, let himself confess, and then quickly execute him to calm the matter.

Emperor Wanli might have acquiesced to this result, but it was definitely not his intention. Because it involved the safety of his most beloved son, could he make Prince Fu safe by killing people in a daze?

So, no matter how Yang Lian wants me to die, since the governor of Baoding has a different attitude towards this matter, in the territory of Baoding, you must first listen to the governor of Baoding.

"Take me to see Governor Han of Baoding. I have an important case to report."

"Why, why?" the scribe got up from the ground and asked stammering, losing all momentum.

"You, an imbecile scribe, have no right to interfere in the case.

Just because the criminals who assassinated King Fu are still at large, I am the only one who can catch them.

Just because Your Majesty’s first concern is the safety of Prince Fu, instead of hurriedly asking Yang Lian to come and take my head!”

I am not humble because I am a warrior, I am not timid because I am on death row, and I am not at a loss just because I encounter this difficulty.

This is the ambition that I, Wang Hongyu, have when I come to Ming Dynasty and stand upright to win over the world.
