"What's that?!" Daotong said with a serious look on his face, "Who laid out the charges for you?"
"Why is there no arrangement? You said that I am afraid of the enemy, and escaping in the middle of battle is the biggest slander!" Zhu Xian's forehead had veins pulsing, he pulled open his clothes, revealing several scars on his chest, and said loudly: "I am also big and small.
I have fought in more than a dozen battles, and I have charged forward in every battle without a single wound on my back!"
"Don't yell in court!" Dao Tong said in shock: "His Royal Highness came to the Zhengnan General's Mansion today. It was your father who personally admitted that he sent you to Yunnan to investigate the enemy's situation a few days ago!"
"I met you at the back door of your house today. Isn't this running away?" He asked in a deep voice: "Is Yunnan the back door of your house?"
"This..." Zhu Xian was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that my father was lying to you.
Because his father could deceive the King of Chu, but he could not deceive the imperial envoy. Deceiving the imperial envoy was the crime of deceiving the emperor. He was just an ordinary imperial envoy, so he couldn't compare with his father. But the King of Chu was not an ordinary imperial envoy.
Let the King of Chu grab the pigtail, and his father will be unable to eat it and carry it around.
Therefore, his father must accept what he said in front of the King of Chu. But in this way, his crime of escaping from battle will be confirmed...
He also expected his father to fish for him. Of course, he couldn't let anyone catch his father.
"Alas..." Zhu Xian was extremely aggrieved, and finally said in a low voice: "I have an emergency, so I came back to report to my father."
"But I clearly saw you coming out of the general's palace." Daotong teased and said, "Why are you leaving without seeing your father?"
"I don't think it's necessary to report it again, okay?!" Zhu Xian said angrily.
"Then you are still afraid of the enemy and flee in front of the battle." Daotong sneered: "Military law and military discipline have always been about deeds and regardless of heart. As long as you do it, you do it. No matter what you think, if you violate military discipline, you will be punished!"
"That was my father's punishment of me!" How could a young man like Zhu Xian, who has always had a smooth life, be cross-examined like this? He completely fell into the rhythm of Dao Tong.
"Okay, write it down. The suspect has confessed." Daotong ordered, and Mr. Hu, who was taking notes, said calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, governor of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, controls the civil and military affairs of the three provinces and does things expediently. Do you think he is qualified?
Punish you?"
"Why did I plead guilty?!" Zhu Xian was stunned.
"Okay, write it down. The suspect has denied and retracted his confession again." Daotong ordered Mr. Hu again.
"I...I won't fucking talk!" Zhu Xian was stunned.
"Write it down. The suspect uttered dirty words and resisted interrogation." Dao Tong was shocked and said: "Torture!"
Today Daotong wanted to let Zhu Xian taste what it was like to be abused by the powerful.
"I fucked your mother, Daotong!" Zhu Xian really said dirty words now. He had never been teased like this in his life. He jumped up and wanted to hit Daotong!
However, the officer behind him hit him hard on the knee socket with his stick, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
Two water and fire sticks crossed against his neck, and then two more water and fire sticks pressed against his buttocks, crossing under his crotch.
Just like that, Zhu Xian was still kicking his legs desperately, waving his fists, and kept cursing, like an angry frog!
"Slap your mouth!" Daotong shouted.
Zhu Xian held his head high when he saw an official put on a bloody cowhide glove and walked up to him with a sinister smile.
When the official squatted down, he suddenly discovered that the other person was the old Zhou who had previously executed Dao Tong.
"Little Marquis, don't you always think that the villain is not working hard? I will use all my strength to serve you today!" After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he rounded his arms and slapped Zhu Xian hard.
On the left cheek, he immediately knocked out two teeth.
Then he slapped him again with a backhand, hitting him on the right cheek, knocking out two more teeth...
After a dozen slaps, Zhu Xian's head turned into a rotten pig's head, and there were not even a few teeth left in his mouth.
This time he shut up completely, and only kept his swollen peach eyes open, staring at Dao Tong.
Daotong also looked at him indifferently and said in a deep voice: "You must think that I am seeking revenge, but you are wrong. I am seeking revenge for the two hundred and sixty-seven Panyu people who have been killed by you and your gang over the years."
The people are angry!"
"If you don't express your resentment, it's unjust!" Daotong slapped the tree hard and shouted: "Beat me to death!"
When Mr. Hu saw that Dong Weng had taken advantage of him, he silently put down his pen and did not write down the last two paragraphs...

At night, the wind comes from all directions in the pavilion.
Zhu Zhen was having dinner. When he saw Tao Tong coming in, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Come on, sit down and eat together."
After thanking each other, he sat down at the lower end and accepted the bowls and chopsticks offered by the guards.
Zhu Zhen scooped a bowl of Cantonese soup for Dao Tong and said with a smile: "When you come to Guangdong, you must drink soup before eating."
After Daotong thanked him again, he accompanied His Highness to eat.
There is no rule in Lao Zhu's family that he should be silent during eating and sleeping. Zhu Zhen asked while eating: "How is it? Are you enjoying it?"
"It's great." The depression on Daotong's face disappeared. It can be seen that it is not entirely true to say that he is not revenge for himself.
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly and said, "I just didn't ask anything."
"That's almost certain." Zhu Zhen was not surprised and said calmly: "This generation of noble children is arrogant, but their bones are still hard. They also practice kung fu and want to pry their mouths open, but
It’s not that easy.”
"Alas." Daotong said with shame, "Your Highness has created such good conditions for us, but we are always unable to break through. It is really incompetent."
"No, no, you have done a good job." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said calmly: "And there is actually no way to pry their mouths open."
As he spoke, he smiled and said: "I have a brother who is very good at torture. There is no mouth that he can't pry open. I also learned a few tricks from him. I can teach you another day."
"That's great." Daotong clasped his fists happily and said, "Your Highness, please give me some advice right now. I'll give it a try tonight!"
"There's no rush." Zhu Zhen shook his head slowly and said, "It's not time to pry open their mouths. If they attack too much at this time, they will be passive."
"Ah?" The Taoist fellow was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "Then why do you want to arrest them?"
"Of course we have to arrest; we have to interrogate, but we can't rush the confession." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Taoist is so smart, if you think about it carefully you can understand the mystery here."
"Ashamed..." Daotong thought for a moment and finally understood. "It turns out..."
Zhu Zhen raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, and said calmly: "Some things can only be understood and cannot be expressed. If we tell him, we will be unclean."
"Yes." Daotong nodded. After chewing a mouthful of rice for more than a hundred times, he still couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "I just want to ask, are you going to let Yongjia Hou and his son go in the end?"
"No." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "You have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
"Then I'll be relieved," Daotong said with relief.
