"This! Your Highness the Crown Prince! I! I really don't know!"
Sun Tzu Gong was shocked and wanted to make excuses.
Lin Fan said coldly: "Haha! Sun Zi Gong, I have given you a chance. Since you are still unwilling to say it, don't blame me for being cruel to you."
"Come here! Castrate your grandson!"
What!
When he heard that Lin Fan wanted to castrate himself, Sun Tzu Gong became anxious and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong, but I know Gong Shuli!"
"In Shunqing City, there are many people who know Gongsuli. All the officials have taken advantage of Gongsuli. The lower officials are just confused for a moment!"
"Moreover, I have never worked with these rebellious officials and traitors. It's true! I am loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty!"
After hearing what Sun Tzu Gong said, Lin Fan smiled and said: "Haha! Are you loyal to me?
So when I'm in danger, you can't hide?"
"Be loyal to His Majesty?
Therefore, there has never been refined salt in Shunqing City, and the common people only eat coarse salt and clear salt!"
"You've never even collected the tax from selling salt, haha! Sun Tzu Gong, Sun Tzu Gong, you can only kill people like you ten thousand times!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
Sun Tzu Gong knocked his head on the ground and begged for mercy again and again. When Lin Fan saw Sun Tzu Gong like this, he knew that the people in heaven and earth were very cautious and did not have too much contact with them.
In this case, it would be useless to keep Sun Tzu Gong and others around.
"That's it! I can't ask any more questions about you. Come here! Kill! No one of Sun Tzu Gong's cronies will be spared!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stepped forward, pulled Sun Tzu Gong aside and chopped him down directly.
Sun Tzu Gong's cronies were also picked out and killed. Zhang Liang asked the officials in the city how to solve the problem. Lin Fan said: "Kill them all directly. Get rid of all the Jinyi guards. Cut off the hands and feet of all the remnants in heaven and earth and bring them back."
Capital City!”
hiss!
When Zhao Hu and others heard what Lin Fan said, they couldn't help but take a breath of air. They didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so decisive in killing and using such a method that even gangsters like them would not dare to think of.
"yes!"
Zhang Liang accepted the order and went directly to do it.
Although she is a woman, she has been following Lin Fan to lead troops in battles for a while. She no longer has the weakness of a woman, but only the decisiveness of a general.
On the second day, Lin Fan asked Zhao Hu to temporarily take the position of prefect of Shunqing Prefecture. When the new prefect arrived, he took his brothers to the capital to find his return.
Then, Lin Fan returned with the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhang Liang naturally returned to Xi'an City to garrison, and Lin Fan returned to the capital with 500 tiger and leopard cavalry.
As for the remnants in heaven and earth, he asked the prefect of Xi'an City to send people to escort them. He wanted to have the most ordinary police officers escort them to see if the people in heaven and earth would go back to rob the prison car.
Gongshu Jing indeed sent people to rescue him, but when he saw those people's hands and feet had been cut off, he decisively gave up and fled.
When those prisoners saw themselves abandoned by heaven and earth, they all felt sad and angry, and their loyalty to heaven and earth turned into resentment.
This is exactly what Lin Fan wants. The more these people resent heaven and earth, the more likely they are to tell themselves the secrets of heaven and earth.
At this time, in the capital, officials from various ministries were shocked when they learned that Lin Fan had massacred thousands of people.
"Hiss! His Highness the Crown Prince's methods are really ruthless. Those were the soldiers guarding the city. They were all killed just because he didn't go to the rescue when he was in danger!"
"Alas! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, was born in the military and was a great hero in leading the troops to regain our Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he is decisive in killing. However, this is okay for outsiders, but it is too cruel for him to do this to his own people!"
"This is not the most cruel thing. All the officials in Shunqing City were killed without even being interrogated. This is really too much!"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince continues like this, and when he becomes the emperor, and I wait for the officials, won't he be able to kill him if he wants?
You don’t even need to be charged!”
"Haha! With His Highness the Crown Prince's current power, it would be easy to charge us with charges or accuse us of being guilty..."
…
Officials became increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Fan, and some even secretly wrote a memorial to Emperor Chongzhen.
When Li Jiantai learned about this, he directly chose to have nothing to do. In any case, he had some soldiers and horses in his hands. As long as he did not confront His Royal Highness, his life would not be in danger.
However, if the officials of the Ministry of War want to do something, he will not interfere. After all, anyone he helps will cause trouble.
Li Guozhen was even more indifferent. He had already figured out Lin Fan's temper. As long as it did not involve government affairs or the interests of the people, he would be fine no matter how he wanted to make money.
At most, Lin Fan is here to defraud him of his money, so just let him defraud him. Money is something external to the body!
Li Guozhen looked away!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wang Chengen's report.
"Your Majesty, news has come from His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness was attacked in Shunqing Fucheng. He was rescued by the tiger and leopard cavalry who arrived. It was also found out that the officials in the city were related to the gangsters. In anger, His Highness the Prince killed three people.
More than a thousand defenders killed all the officials in the city!"
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice.
At this time, Wang Chengen was not only in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, supervising hundreds of officials, but he also controlled 50,000 Qinglongsi Jinyi Guards.
He is now Emperor Chongzhen's eyes to the outside world. After Lin Fan left the capital, Emperor Chongzhen has been asking Wang Chengen to keep an eye on Lin Fan's movements. Now the news has finally been sent back.
However, this news frightened him, the emperor.
He was not frightened because Lin Fan killed so many people, but he was frightened because Lin Fan was attacked and almost killed.
"Besides these, is there anything else?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
Wang Chengen was a little surprised when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen had no reaction and asked himself the next question directly.
The former His Majesty had a kind heart. When he heard that so many people were killed, he would definitely be furious, ask for details, and even punish the Crown Prince.
Now His Majesty actually skipped it and didn't even care about the death of those people. What does this mean?
It shows that His Majesty has become decisive in killing and is no longer the monarch who only talked about mercy before!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back with his people later. Calculating the time, we should have arrived in the capital by now."
"Also, there may be something wrong with Jin Yiwei..."
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice that he was not sure about Jin Yiwei's problem, so he did not dare to elaborate.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and asked: "Huh?"
Is there something wrong with Jinyiwei?
Could it be that Fan'er was gone for a few days and someone among the Jinyi Guards committed an adultery?"
