Chapter 462: Have you ever thought that our father and son would have a bright moon? (Fifth watch)
At this moment, Fang La was riding towards Suzhou, and Zhu Meng's head had been put into a wooden box and hung on his mount.
Fang Qifu, who was behind him, also seemed to be in high spirits. Although the two brothers had already sent people to Suzhou to deliver the message.
But if Zhu Meng's head is not given to a person, how can he give it a prosthetic leg? That thing is equivalent to a great achievement. How can he rest assured if he doesn't give it to him personally?
Zhu Chong was imprisoned by Gao Zhang long before the Zhu family could rebel.
And with the enthronement of his son Zhu Meng, the two leaders of Zhu's rebellion were all doomed.
In addition to those prime ministers, generals, and others, either they were killed on the spot during the pursuit, or they were dragged outside Suzhou City and had their heads chopped off.
The remaining guerrillas in the east have dispersed and will no longer be able to cause any more troubles.
After Fang La and Fang Qifu personally delivered Zhu Meng's head, Gao Tao Ran highly praised his cousin.
Asking Fang Baihua to take his eldest brother Fang La and his cousin Fang Qifo to settle down, Gao Zhang looked at the wooden box that had been re-covered with a smile that could not be concealed on his face.
At this moment, after receiving the news, all the officials who rushed to the location of Gao Tao's ship from all directions seemed very excited.
Among them was Tan Zhongguan, who had just returned halfway. All the officials congratulated Gao Zhang for being the person in charge of pacifying the thieves.
As for the group of military generals, they crowded excitedly around the wooden box with Zhu Meng's head on it.
One or two of them even poked the head with their fingers.
It seemed that they wanted to pick up Zhu Meng's head and give it a kiss, or chop it into pieces with a few knives. It seemed that only in this way could they express their overly excited mood at the moment.
With Zhu Meng's death, the Zhu family's rebellion in Jiangnan has come to a successful end.
Please send that head to Bianliang, Tokyo, and bring it back to the east, otherwise a happy confinement period in which everyone will be promoted and make a fortune is about to come.
In front of those people who couldn't wait to send the head to Tokyo.
Gao Zhang excused himself that it was already dark and it would not be too late to wait until early tomorrow morning.
The bright moon just rewards the three armies as a congratulation.
#####
Gao Zhang stood on the deck and watched the civil and military officials excitedly boarded the dock and dispersed.
Then he turned around and looked at the wooden box with the lid closed.
Gao Zhang walked slowly to the wooden box, thought for a moment, and then whispered instructions to the cheerful Yang Douzhi beside him.
"Yang Douzhi, please excuse me to go to the dicang and bring Zhu Chong here."
Yang Douzhi nodded, happily lifted up his front and walked away quickly.
Gao Zhang stood there, looking at the wooden box placed at his feet.
Otherwise, it would be time to meet Zhu Chong, the most alive of the Zhu family.
#####
Zhu Chong was imprisoned in a dark and moonless cell in the bottom of the boat. He had no idea how much time had passed outside.
At first, he kept yelling in the bottom cabin, but soon, a section of his tongue was cut off by those thieves with extremely cruel legs.
After that, Zhu Chong had the good sense not to continue making trouble. He wanted to go east alive and see his own son Zhu Meng come to rescue him.
He can calculate how many confinements he has spent there by the number of times the prisoner delivers meals.
By the dim oil lamp in the cabin, Zhu Chong's face turned quite red because he had not seen the sun for a long time.
His eyes fell on the scratches he had carved on the wooden board with his leg nails. Each mark represented a day's time.
As a prisoner here, I would learn some news every day from the nagging prisoner who delivered meals.
Just a few days after he was imprisoned, the prisoner couldn't wait to tell him the news that the ruthless Zhu Meng had raised his flag to rebel and claimed to be the King of Wu.
But Zhu Chong was unwilling to believe that it was true and rebelled, so could he be punished by Jiuzhou for his grave crime?
During his confinement period, he would look forward to the prisoner bringing new news every day.
It turns out that what the prison guards brought was not bad news about the Great Wu Kingdom.
If Xiuzhou was defeated, Wujiang would be captured. Or if his own son led an army of 30,000 people, he would be defeated by Gao Zhang.
What's even more outrageous is that within two days, the jailer told him that the city of Suzhou was destroyed and the ship had arrived in Suzhou.
Such outrageous news made Zhu Chong happy. He felt that it would be difficult for him to keep his mouth shut because his tongue was cut off, so he might laugh at the prison guard on the spot for talking nonsense.
It may be that many months have passed since then, and the jailer has not given any useful information.
It can be said that Zhu Chong's months in that damn bottom cabin prison are like years.
At this moment, Zhu Chong heard the noise coming from the direction of the stairs, and quickly turned around and looked over there.
Soon, he saw the jailer walking down the stairs to the east, but soon, the man with a feminine appearance that he had seen a long time ago led two strong men to follow him.
Yang Douzhi showed a strange smile when he saw Zhu Chong, who had messy hair and looked decadent and a little nervous.
"Zhu Chong, my family has good news for me. We, father and son, can finally be reunited."
Zhu Chong stood in front of the cell door, shaking the door vigorously, making a whooshing sound in his mouth, as if he was asking for the reason.
"I'll know in a moment. Go ahead and take him with you."
#####
When Zhu Chong was dragged on the deck, the afterglow was still there, rendering the clear sky into beautiful colors from deep to light.
Zhu Chong, who had not seen the sky for a long time, slowly opened his tightly squinted eyes and greedily breathed in the fresh air outside the cabin.
It took a long time before I heard that crisp yet devilish voice coming from my ears.
"Zhu Chong, we meet again..."
Zhu Chong looked at the smiling Gao Zhang, with deep-seated hatred squeezed out from between his teeth, and made a very vague sound.
#####
At Gao Zhang's signal, Zhu Chong, who was carrying a heavy yoke, was dragged closer by the two strong men and knelt down on the ground.
One of them opened the wooden box, and the other brought the torch closer.
Zhu Chong stared blankly at the human head in the box, his whole person seemed to be petrified, and he was stunned.
After that, as if he was going crazy, he struggled hard and wanted to fight to the death.
Not only the extremely heavy wooden shackles, but also the heavy iron chains on his legs and feet, gave him no chance to stand up straight.
Gao Zhang raised his leg and swung it, signaling the two strong men to step back, and then looked at Zhu Chong, who was lying on the deck and continuing to roar meaninglessly.
"Zhu Chong, in those years when I was in Suzhou and domineering in Jiangnan, did I ever think that our father and son would also have a month like this?"
