"You devil." Old Man Kong cried loudly: "They don't know anything, why do they want to kill them all?"
"Are you crying now?" Old Man Kong looked very miserable, but Zhu Han couldn't sympathize at all.
Even though he looks very pitiful now, what will happen if they succeed in their rebellion?
Throughout Datong Mansion, the people finally recovered some strength from the disaster.
If they make such a fuss, the little things they have accumulated will be plundered in an instant.
At that time, they will be in a situation where they will have no food and clothing, and will be completely unable to survive.
This is not Zhu Han’s scaremongering or slandering the White Lotus Sect.
The people of today are no longer those who were overwhelmed by the various excessive taxes and levies imposed by Meng Yuan in the late Yuan Dynasty.
Compared with the people of later generations, the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty were still far behind, but life was gradually developing in a good direction.
For these people, all glory and wealth are too illusory.
But the hope that can be seen before them can bring them endless strength.
They can use their own hands to create a better life for themselves.
At this time, the people would really not be able to survive unless they suffered special hardships.
It is impossible to raise your head and go crazy with the people of the White Lotus Sect to rebel.
And the White Lotus Sect has no foundation for rebellion and no military force that can compete with the imperial court. What should we do?
There is only one way.
These people who did not want to rebel were forced to rebel with them.
It is not particularly difficult to achieve this step.
Just plunder all the money, food and other things accumulated in people's homes.
Those people who did not have food and money would naturally not be able to survive.
In order to survive, the only way is to be coerced by these White Lotus Sect rebels and become rebels with them.
"Why didn't you think about your family before you rebelled? You didn't think about the consequences."
"You, the Kong family, talk about your family and the country every day. But now, you want to let rebels like the White Lotus Sect harm the people who have just found a little hope."
"It's better for your family to cry than for thousands of families to cry."
"If you want to hate, just hate yourself. Hate why you, a loser, are so incompetent."
"If you really had the ability to kill me, you wouldn't be in this catastrophe today."
Old Man Kong held the prison door with both hands: "You are a hateful evil thief, God will never let you go."
"It doesn't matter, you won't see that day anyway."
"Or I, the king, can show mercy and allow you to watch your nine tribes go on the road with you."
The most terrifying words were spoken in a calm tone.
Old Man Kong, who was originally crazy, calmed down instantly.
This time he didn't just talk about the devil, his frightened eyes seemed to actually see the evil ghost crawling out of the underworld.
"You..." His voice was trembling, and he knelt softly on the ground.
"This matter is all my fault. No matter what the prince wants to do with me, I will admit it."
"Please ask the prince to set out your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy the prince."
Zhu Han curled his lips slightly.
If this old man uses it to the end, he will still admire this old man a little.
The result is nothing more than this, if you scare me a little, you won't care about anything anymore.
He shouted righteously for the sake of the world, but in his heart he only thought about himself.
"Where is Chen Xueying hiding? I will only kill you and spare the lives of your whole family."
"I..." Old Man Kong opened his mouth with difficulty. He who originally liked to talk eloquently found for the first time that he didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said with difficulty: "I don't know where Chen Xueying is hiding?"
"Your Highness may not know that I just joined the White Lotus Sect a few days ago."
"Before this, I just had some relationship with the altar leader of the White Lotus Sect's Datong branch."
"It is impossible for Chen Xueying to tell me where she is hiding."
Two cold gleams flashed in Zhu Han's eyes: "Even now, you still want to hide it for Chen Xueying."
"I can't tell you are quite loyal to that guy."
I don't know whether Zhu Han's words were mocking or teasing.
Old Man Kong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of hiding anything for Chen Xueying, but I really don't know where they are hiding."
"Even when I went to see him before, it was the White Lotus sect who found me first and then took me to see Chen Xueying."
"My eyes were even covered before meeting each other, and the place where we met was obviously not Chen Xueying's residence."
"That's right!" Old Man Kong was like a drowning man, flopping around in the water.
No matter what you catch, treat it as life-saving straw.
"Every time they ask me to go there, they spend most of the day on the road."
"So they should all be outside the city."
"Maybe that guy Chen Xueying is hiding among the refugees outside the city."
Zhu Han just stared at Old Man Kong coldly and did not express any opinion on what he said.
Old Man Kong was weeping, and his unruly expression was gone: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I definitely don't dare to deceive you at all."
Zhu Han continued to ask: "Is there anything else? Keep talking, the more you say, the better it will be for you."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to hide it. Anyway, it won't be me who dies."
"As for whether your whole family can be saved, it depends on your performance."
Old Man Kong is now completely scared and regrets his decision extremely.
Why was he so obsessed with lard in the first place that he actually wanted to fight against the devil Zhu Han?
Although the name Yan Shenggong is gone, the Kong family's status among scholars is actually not low.
This will not change because the contemporary Yan Shenggong has become a traitor?
After all, the Ming Dynasty at this time still needed many scholars to maintain the stability of Super Sugar.
Important officials in the court, such as Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, and Hu Weiyong, actually knew what was going on.
Although on the surface he doesn't get too close to the Kong family, there are still some seemingly insignificant cares.
Although the Kong family no longer has the aloof status it once had, under the care of these people, life is still going well.
It's just that you can't do whatever you want like a local emperor like before.
Let's live a good life, but I have to get involved with the White Lotus Sect.
In the end, it was just that he died, but the entire Kong family was implicated.
Old Man Kong was filled with bitterness and hatred in his heart, why did Zhu Han, an insufferable person like him, suddenly appear, identify their lineage, and refuse to let go.
But now, even if you want to regret it, it's already too late.
The only thing I can do is probably to cooperate with this evil thief and try to absolve my family from the guilt.
For this reason, Old Man Kong racked his brains and began to think desperately, trying to find some information that could be useful to this guy.
Not to mention, people are forced out.
At this time, Kong Laotong's mind suddenly became alive.
It actually gave him some very useful information.
The old man couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, although I don't know where Chen Xueying is, I know where the altar master of Datong Mansion is hiding."
Old Man Kong is indeed not very familiar with Chen Xueying. After all, the two parties have not had much contact with each other.
But he knows more about the altar leader of the main palace.
Even by chance, he accidentally learned some little secrets of the altar owner.
For example, if a special situation occurs, how will the stall owner hide his identity to avoid being discovered by others.
"Very good, you old thing is finally no longer useless to the point of being useless."
"Tell me, if the information you provide this time can be helpful to the court, I can promise to spare the lives of your family."
"But you are definitely dead. It's best not to take any chances."
The reason why Zhu Han said this was actually to convey a message to Old Man Kong.
He did not deceive the other party, but really considered letting the rest of the Kong family go.
After all, the evidence that Old Man Kong rebelled is now completely solid.
If Zhu Han still said that he could let the other party go at this time, it would seem a bit too fake.
Maybe it would be self-defeating and make Old Man Kong doubt his true purpose.
"Is what the prince said true?" Old Man Kong grabbed the railing excitedly, and the chain in his hand rattled.
Zhu Han frowned: "Why did I lie to you, a dead man?"
"The life and death of your Kong family doesn't matter to me at all. If you, an old and immortal man, didn't insist on jumping out to commit suicide, do you think I am full of food? I insist on killing you useless trash.
.”
Although Old Man Kong didn't really believe Zhu Han's words, when things got to this point, he had no other choice.
He could only feel sad and angry, and told Zhu Han all the news he knew about the altar owner.
"Send someone immediately to arrest that guy."
After hearing what Old Man Kong said, Zhu Han waved his hand and immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei to get the person.
"Yes!" The Jin Yiwei who was following Zhu Han took the order and quickly clicked on the man's hand to arrest the person at the location mentioned by Old Man Kong.
After repeatedly confirming the numbers and making sure that all the information Old Man Kong knew about the White Lotus Sect had been revealed.
Zhu Han ignored Old Man Kong and turned around to leave.
The old man asked hurriedly: "My lord, you promised not to kill anyone in our family."
"Your Majesty..."
Old Man Kong's body seemed to be about to emerge from the cell.
It's just that the gap in the cell fence seems to be very big. In fact, even a thin man like Old Man Kong can only barely stretch out one hand.
No matter how much he cried and begged for mercy, Zhu Han never said a word to him.
After Zhu Han left, Old Man Kong gradually calmed down.
With a thin body, he slowly walked to the darkest corner of the cell and sat down.
In the darkness, the previous anger and fear were completely gone from his face.
Instead, there was a ferocious smile.
"This Zhu Han is indeed as kind-hearted and soft-hearted as the rumors say."
"If I die, I will die. As long as you, the evil thief, can be punished as you deserve, I will have the dignity to meet my ancestors even if I die."
When he found out that Zhu Han wanted to implicate his entire family, Old Man Kong was indeed very frightened.
After all, the Kong family is no longer what it used to be. If they suffer another devastating blow, the Kong family may disappear completely, and it is possible that the inheritance will be cut off.
But if you can avoid involving other people and just yourself.
Old Man Kong thinks this deal is a very good deal.
Anyway, he was already so old. If he could use his old life to create some trouble for Zhu Han, he felt that his death was not in vain.
Now there are so many people from the White Lotus Sect who have quietly entered Datong Mansion.
Just the slightest movement can make Zhu Han, a bitch, very anxious.
At the same time, in another part of the prison.
There were also two people talking quietly.
"Old Man Kong, this guy is really unreliable. Hurry up and tell His Highness the King of Han that this guy has said everything."
"Should we inform the altar leader first?"
"If carrier pigeons were used directly, he would still have a chance to escape."
"His life and death has nothing to do with us. Please inform the prince as soon as possible."
In the city of Datong Prefecture, it is the most ordinary tavern.
After the drought, hotels, pubs and other places in Datong Prefecture have basically closed down.
This era was different from later generations. Many tavern owners actually lived here.
There is no need to share rent or anything like that, so as long as you don't hire people, you can barely survive even if you can't run the business.
There are many such pubs, so naturally no one pays attention to them.
But tonight, a group of vicious guards suddenly surrounded the tavern.
Naturally, it was impossible to hide the sound of large groups of people in action from the people around them.
However, ordinary people avoid such things.
Few people would join in the fun. The people who were awakened kept their doors and windows tightly closed, for fear that they would be implicated in some way.
After surrounding the tavern, the emergency personnel broke in without ceremony.
Soon the clanging sound of swords could be heard in the tavern.
Along with the sound of swords, there were screams from time to time.
After about an hour of burning incense, several injured Jinyi guards tied up a person.
One of this man's arms had been cut off, and the wound was still bleeding.
The captain of the Jin Yiwei looked behind him: "Call that guy over to identify him and see if he made a mistake."
Soon, Xu Shiheng was brought up by the Jin Yiwei people.
Seeing him, the arrested man immediately yelled: "Xu Shiheng, you bastard, how dare you betray the Holy Religion!"
