After witnessing Ma Shiying's cruelty this morning, Zheng Chenggong, who wanted to read the book of sages first, immediately threw away the book and couldn't help feeling a little angry. No wonder the people in the market suddenly became afraid to speak in the past few days, and the once bustling streets were now also
He became much quieter. Perhaps he had been immersed in that book for so long that he forgot about the world.
He hurried back that day and said goodbye to his teacher, and gave a big gift before leaving. If you read too much, you really won't be able to get out. Zhang Zhengcheng's death this time was a reminder to him. In the current situation, if he still thinks that he can rely on
Reading to save the world is probably the result of stupid people.
And his old teacher was a little reluctant to see such a spiritual student suddenly leaving. But looking at his firm eyes, he couldn't stop him. He could only sigh and said: "I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye."
Forever. I have been teaching you to study for a long time. I don’t ask you to be a big official in the future, but I just ask you to treat the people well and be a good official."
Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong immediately bowed his head again and gave another great salute. Then he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The teacher's wish, the students dare not abandon it! If one day, I am a senior official, I will personally come back to pick up the teacher, so that everyone in the world can do it."
Everyone knows you have a good student!"
The teacher who heard these words also burst into tears and personally helped him up. Looking at his now majestic body, he couldn't help but sigh: The boy he once was has grown up, and it's time to go out and have some adventures.
Then the teachers and students said goodbye and went their separate ways.
It is said that someone broke into the school at night yesterday, and the soldiers caught him. Ma Shiying also hurried over in the middle of the night. Under the dim firelight, he saw clearly that this person was actually his confidant-Zhang Zhengcheng! He felt the anger rising in his heart.
, immediately picked up the wooden stick on the side and hit him. This beating with the stick was to vent his inner anger of mistaking the wrong person.
He didn't have many people he trusted here, so he finally made friends with him and had such trust. Even Ruan Dacheng couldn't enjoy that kind of trust, and Zhang Zhengcheng actually betrayed him! This is unbearable!
"Trust! My trust in you!"
There are stars in the night, and the moon has long been hidden. Everything has a scene of recovery, and it seems that the whole earth is prosperous and getting better and better. But today, Zhang Zhengcheng has been abused and beaten like never before, and it seems that the next moment he will...
He died on the spot.
"Zhang Zhengcheng! I trust you more than anyone else! Why did you betray me? Who are you?" While scolding him sternly, he waved the wooden stick in his hand and hit him hard without showing any mercy.
With the anger in his heart, the wooden stick hit him again and again, and the red marks instantly spread all over his body.
Zhang Zhengcheng remained silent and allowed the thick wooden stick to hit him violently and continuously. Even though he was in extreme pain and the burning wound seemed to be about to tear him apart, he did not let out a groan of pain. He knew that,
Even if he is certain to die this time, he will never ask for mercy and will not let these traitorous officials see his weak side.
After dozens of sticks, his back was covered with scars and almost bloody. However, Ma Shiying, who was in a rage, still refused to stop. He was already sweating, and the wooden stick in his hand was stained with blood. Every time, he hit hard
The ground hit him, but even so, it did not eliminate his anger.
By the end, Zhang Zhengcheng's face was pale, and the cold sweat on his head almost ran down his entire face, and his clothes were even soaked.
Until this point, he still did not make any sound of begging for mercy, not even a groan of pain. The people standing around him were completely impressed by his perseverance. They never expected such a brutal cane to this weak-looking person.
A literati can persevere and persevere. This is truly worthy of the literati’s character!
They also felt sorry for him. Originally, he was trusted by Mr. Ma Ge and was an official of the new dynasty. With such a promising future, he actually did such an unwise thing. He dared to liaise with others in an attempt to subvert the new dynasty. Mr. Ma Ge naturally
I can't tolerate it, even if he is the person I trust the most.
Finally, Ma Shiying was tired of beating and sat aside. He looked at Zhang Zhengcheng who had collapsed on the ground with hatred. His lips were purple and his face was as pale as paper. He seemed to be about to die in the next moment. But he still felt angry.
Xiao. After a while, he slowly said: Why did you betray me? I treat you very well!"
Zhang Zhengcheng, who was taking his last breath, tilted his head, endured the pain in his back, forced a smile, and said: "Everyone can punish traitors and traitors! It's not just me, there are many people you think are loyal to you.
In fact, in my heart, I wish you were dead! You really think that you can become the emperor by holding the prince hostage, hahaha, it is simply ridiculous! I believe that it won’t be long before you are close to death.”
Seeing that Zhang Zhengcheng was like this, he even wanted to get angry at himself. Ma Shiying's anger surged instantly, and this time he directly dropped the stick, picked up the whip on one side, and whipped him hard.
"You bastard! You are so ungrateful. Have you forgotten who promoted you? Who made you a high-ranking official? Who gave you the platform to rise to prominence? Who helped you when you were bullied when you first passed the imperial examination?
A handful? It's me! Do you have any conscience for betraying me?" Ma Shiying was really angry this time, and Zhang Zhengcheng's content simply touched his bottom line.
"You are trying to usurp the throne. Even if you and I are brothers, you will die!" With his last breath, Zhang Zhengcheng said reluctantly, regardless of the tearing pain.
"Then go die!"
In the end, Ma Shiying didn't want to scold him anymore, and directly ordered people to pull him out and execute him in Lingchi, otherwise it would not be enough to calm his anger. After Zhang Zhengcheng was taken away, he calmed down a little. What about usurping the throne? The former
Didn't Zhao Kuangyin also usurp the throne to establish the Song Dynasty? Why couldn't he, Ma Shiying?
In fact, thinking of this, he admitted that even if anyone usurped the throne, he would be reviled and reprimanded. But if he finally established a new dynasty, no one would say anything, just because Chongzhen is still alive!
"Your Majesty, the power of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, so don't struggle anymore!" After saying that, Ma Shiying immediately turned around and left, and immediately summoned all the officials to gather in his lobby.
When all the officials came to his house with some fear in their hearts, they saw that he immediately ordered many soldiers holding spears to line up on both sides to surround the officials. When they saw so many soldiers surrounding them, they couldn't help but
More panic arose in my heart, which immediately caused a commotion, and I couldn't help but want to escape from this place.
Seeing that the officials were so afraid of him, Ma Shiying sneered and stepped forward, asking with a hint of threat: "Yesterday someone broke into Nanjing Academy at night and was captured by soldiers. Today he was executed by Lingchi. You should have seen him. He was dying.
I told you before that there are many of you who are loyal to me on the surface but secretly want to kill me. Is this a problem?"
When the voice fell, someone immediately laughed and said: "What's the matter, Mr. Ma Ge should not listen to such villainous words. We are very loyal to the new dynasty, how can we have such thoughts?"
Before he could finish speaking, another person came forward and flattered him: "Yes, Mr. Ma Ge, when the new dynasty was first established, there must be some villains who were plotting evil. Now that we have caught him, we will also give him to those thieves who want to cause trouble together."
Even if we warn them, they will not dare to do anything wrong. We, the people, will definitely contribute to the new dynasty in the future."
Hearing this, Ma Shiying chuckled lightly. He didn't believe the flattery of these people. After all, the people he trusted the most had betrayed him. Even if these people were like this today, they were just hypocritical words.
"I also want to make it clear to you that you are already in the same camp as the new dynasty. Your fate will be the same as that of the new dynasty. The new dynasty will prosper and you will perish, and the new dynasty will perish and you will perish! Don't think about being alone. If you don't want to get involved,
, just take your family with you**. Don’t do anything stupid, otherwise I really won’t show mercy!”
These ferocious words really frightened all the officials so much that they trembled and did not dare to say anything.
"Everyone can go."
After saying that, Baiguan left the place immediately, not daring to say anything nonsense on the way, for fear that he would die on the spot the next moment. But just as he closed his eyes to rest, his son Ma Luan suddenly approached and said: "Father, yesterday
Although I still don’t know what Zhang Zhengcheng was planning that night, my son discovered that he went to Wu Linzheng’s house a few days ago!”
Ma Shiying's heart was not disturbed at all. Since he dared to betray himself, he must be angry with Wu Linzheng and the others. But Ma Luan's next words surprised him.
"My son's investigation found that Zhang Zhengcheng met a person last night, but he didn't know what he did specifically."
"Who did you meet?"
I heard Ma Luan say with some fear: "I think I met Zheng Zhilong's son, Zheng Chenggong!"
"What?"
This name immediately frightened Ma Shiying to the point where he almost jumped up with a look of horror on his face. Zhang Zhengcheng wouldn't join forces with Zheng Chenggong, would he? Although Zheng Chenggong is not scary, he is just a student in a school, but his father Zheng Zhilong is not easy to mess with. He has hundreds of warships.
, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the Ming Sea area is almost controlled by him, and he is definitely not to be messed with!
"Are you sure?"
"Not sure." Ma Luan thought for a moment and was not sure.
