After dinner, Zhu Zhen returned to the Shengzhen Hall to replace Luo Guanzhong, who was already tired from eating, and continued the night review.
"Come back..." Chen Qianfu and Jin Wenzheng were both numb. On this day, they didn't eat or drink and were beaten. They answered the questions over and over again, which made them want to die.
"Where are you?" Zhu Zhen was full of food and drink, full of energy, and said with a smile:
"Have you ever heard of the fatigue tactic? You have to be interrogated for twenty-four hours. You are not allowed to sleep, eat or drink. It completely destroys your will and makes you confess your experiences of stealing family money and going to brothels when you were young."
"I've recruited all the people I can, and it's no use to you if you can't recruit me!" Jin Wenzheng, who was being interrogated by him, hissed angrily: "Besides, I don't even pay when I go to the brothels in my hometown!"
"It doesn't matter if we don't recruit you, then we'll come back for another twelve hours. Anyway, we can change shifts for interrogation. If you don't recruit us, we'll just endure it." Zhu Zhen said with an expectant smile: "The longest record now is thirty-four.
Shichen, I really hope you can break this record."
"You, you are not human..." Jin Wenzheng almost cried with anger...
Teacher Luo feels the same way. When it comes to torturing people, this sixth child is indeed not a human being. Together with his third brother, he is known as the Three Kings of Perversion.
Unlike King Jin, who prefers physical torture, Lao Liu prefers mental torture. Watching people go from being arrogant and angry at the beginning to gradually suffering and suffering, and finally breaking down bit by bit and giving up their resistance completely, he feels like a happy person.
A child weighing one hundred and eighty pounds.
"How is it?" Zhu Zhen smiled, poured a cup of tea, brought it to him and said, "Do you plan to suffer less and go back to eat, drink and sleep early? Or do you continue to stay here and break the record?"
"I don't know..." Jin Wenzheng's head was empty and he went to hold the cup of tea with both hands.
Zhu Zhen tilted his hand, poured the tea in the cup on the ground and said, "Then continue."
Jin Wenzheng licked his dry lips, looked regretfully at the tea spilled on the floor, and said with a wry smile:
"Actually, I have told you everything I know... I just don't like Song Jijiu, so as soon as Chen Qianfu said he wanted to get him, I agreed. I have never met anyone other than Guozixue. Apart from knowing Mr. Qianfu
I have close contact with the great Confucian scholar from Jiangnan, and apart from being his student, I really don’t know anything about him.”
"So, you are one of their peripheral members?" Zhu Zhen crossed his hands and propped them on the table, holding his chin up and asked:
"What about Wang Siye? Is he also a peripheral person?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"Strictly speaking, that's true." Jin Wenzheng replied with a distracted look: "He has always wanted to serve as a sacrificial wine, or be sent to the Hanlin Academy of the Ministry of Rites, but he had no connections, so he stayed here for more than ten years. Otherwise, he would not have hidden his secrets.
My husband is like a thigh and I obey his words."
"Perhaps in the future, when he becomes the sacrificial wine, he will no longer have to be a peripheral person." He continued, "I heard Master Qianfu hinting at this."
"What are the benefits of being a core member?" Lao Liu asked again.
"That's too much. If you are accepted as a core member, you can get more support, be promoted quickly, and easily achieve political achievements. If they help build momentum, won't a generation of capable ministers and officials be established?" Jin Wenzheng
Can't help but envy: "Of course, I am still young and don't dare to expect this. I will be content with being a peripheral first."
"Well..." Zhu Zhen cross-examined him for a while, and found that he really didn't know much. His answers were full of conjecture and uncertainty, and were really of little value.
He waved his hand and asked Team Leader Wang to take Jin Wenzheng to the east room to continue asking questions, and then asked Chen Qianfu to be brought over.
Faced with the same question, Chen Qianfu's answer was much more sophisticated.
"How do I have any organization? It's all made up by young people. My friends from the same hometown only know that I come to the capital to teach and have no idea what's going on here. They are all idle clouds and Yehe who don't care about the world. I told them
I don’t understand either.”
"Why should I help with advice? Firstly, Wang Siye and I are chess friends. When we were playing chess, I gave him some advice, which made him rely on me. Secondly, Song Jijiu did too much.
, teachers and students can no longer hold on. Some of them sympathize with them, and some are willing to help.
"But it would be ridiculous to say that I am a member of the party who opposes dissenters and conspires to make sacrifices. I am nearly 70 years old and have no children. What good will it do to me?"
"What, I promote offering wine as a sacrifice to become an official? I am not being humble. I am a little eighth-grade doctor who doesn't even listen to what the waiter says. How can I still promote offering wine to lead to an official position? Then why not let myself be a sacrifice for wine?
?”
"Because the Minister of Libu is my student? Yu Budang only studied "Gongyang Zhuan" with me for a few days when he was young. What kind of student is he? You guys are embarrassed to say it, but I am embarrassed to admit it... Besides, even if I beg to be shameless
If I come to my door, people will ignore me."
All in all, what he said was very accurate. If Lao Liu hadn't read the surveillance records before he came, he might have actually believed his lies.
But since we already knew the content of his chat with Yu Shangshu, Qianhugong's performance was of no use and only made him laugh.
Zhu Zhen waited for him to finish with a smile, and then said with a gentle smile: "Then why did you go to his house that day, just to play chess?"
Mr. Qianfu's calm face froze slightly, then he regained his composure and said, "Yes, play chess. Both I and Yu Budang love playing chess, but at such an old age, I still know what's appropriate. I never say anything to him when playing chess.
It's official business. I feel upset when I hear this, and I don't know how to respond to us."
"That makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Then why do you still resist others even though you know this? They clearly don't want to get involved, so why do you insist on them doing anything for Song Newen?"
"I, I didn't..." Chen Qianfu was stunned, and thunder exploded in his mind. Why did he feel like he was there when he heard Lao Liu's words?
"Didn't you say that if the joint signature of Guozixue is not enough, you will also mobilize the people of Yushitai to impeach?" Zhu Zhen said quietly again: "Brother Qianfu is really too self-effacing. It is true that he is just a doctor, maybe
The quantity is so large that it is beyond imagination. Even the official Feng Xian of the imperial court listens to you."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Chen Qianfu said with a cold sweat on his back, "Why can't I understand a sentence?"
"Okay, then I will read you the original words -" Zhu Zhen picked up a piece of paper from the table and read:
"Heng asked: Who will take over? Does the teacher have a candidate?'
"Chen said: 'Just Wang Siye.'
"Heng said: 'This guy is not very good. Not to mention his mediocre abilities, he also likes to mess around and makes a mess wherever he goes. I really don't know how he gets better and better."
"Chen said: 'Because he is from western Zhejiang. When we old guys recommended you to the court as an official, I told you that only people from the same hometown are our own.'"
