This is a trap used to deal with gangsters. Once it is locked, no matter how powerful you are in martial arts, you will not be able to escape. But it was put on Yang Shiqi to humiliate him. Because it is chained from head to toe, it will be chained every step of the way.
There was a clanking sound, and the prisoner was restricted by chains and could only walk with a hunched back, like an old lady with bound feet, so it was also called "Jin Bu Yao".
Yang Dao also put on the Jinbu Yao. Dongchang Fanzi pushed the father and son hard on the back and said: "Get out!"
Yang Shiqi and his son staggered forward a few steps, then flopped down on the ground. Unsurprisingly, they aroused roars of laughter from the Dongchang fans. These days, Dongchang fans frequently burst into laughter like this.
, making them feel that this life in which they can humiliate high-ranking officials and dignitaries arbitrarily is extremely satisfying.
However, Yang Shiqi looked calm. He climbed up from the ground with some difficulty, then reached out to brush the dust on his robe, and then walked out calmly. His son Yang Dao also got up and followed his father to the door.
Seeing the father and son's unfazed behavior, Ma De and others felt bored for a while, but when they saw the high threshold in front of them, they began to gloat again. They stood there with their hands crossed, wanting to see the embarrassment of the father and son as they climbed over the threshold.
Sure enough, Yang Shiqi walked to the threshold and was stunned for a moment.
"Do you want to get over? It's very simple. Just lie down like a dog and then you can crawl over!" A Dongchang deacon said with a strange smile.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shiqi calmly sat down slowly with his back to the threshold, lifted his legs over the threshold one by one with his hands, and then slowly stood up.
Yang Dao naturally followed suit, which disappointed the eunuchs in the East Factory who wanted to see their father and son's jokes.
"Search!" Ma De spat fiercely, and asked people to search the main room. The most conspicuous thing in the main room was naturally the coffin, but several people worked together to lift the lid of the coffin, only to find that there was only
Yang Shiqi's official uniform and hat, but nothing else.
At this time, searchers from other places came to report one after another, saying that the house was empty, no one was there, and there was nothing valuable, let alone the seal they were looking for.
Ma De's face became very ugly. He stared at Yang Shiqi who was standing in the courtyard and asked in a dark voice: "Where have all the people gone? Where are the things?"
"The imperial court has been paying out salaries with treasure money for half a year. How can I still support my family? They have all been dismissed a long time ago." Yang Shiqi said lightly: "As for the things, the valuable ones have been sold for food, and the worthless ones must not be seen by you.
On the eyes."
"I'm asking about the seal!" Ma De said through gritted teeth. "The one you stole from the palace!" Many factory guards and soldiers then realized that the emperor's seal was lost.
"That's nonsense!" Yang Shiqi's face sank. Although he was chained, he did not change his loyal demeanor and said: "I am a disciple of a saint. I am thirsty but cannot drink the water from the stolen spring, and the heat cannot be quenched by the evil tree! Not to mention stealing.
The emperor’s seal?!”
"So, you don't admit it!" Ma De rolled his neck, cracked his knuckles, and said grimly: "Then let's try it in the prison and see how long you can last?"
Just when Yang Dao thought that his father was going to be a man who had endured all kinds of torture but remained strong-willed and silent, he heard Yang Shiqi say quietly: "The seal was indeed brought out of the palace by my hands."
"Oh?" Not only Yang Dao was stunned, but Ma De and others were also stunned. They thought it would take a lot of effort and eighteen kinds of torture to pry Yang Shiqi's mouth open. Unexpectedly, he suddenly
They resort to threats, no different from those pustule cowards.
"Hahahaha!" Ma De and others laughed so hard that tears welled up in their eyes and laughed: "As expected of the famous Bachelor Yang, he is so knowledgeable about current affairs, he is truly a hero among men!"
"You still have the nerve to tell me not to embarrass my ancestors. My ancestors' face has been embarrassed by you alone." Yang Dao's face turned gloomy, and he felt the pain of being disillusioned with his idol. He wished he could immediately sever the relationship between father and son.
Yang Shiqi looked calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"So, you admit that you stole the royal seal?" Ma De looked at Yang Shiqi contemptuously.
"Are you deaf? I just said that I brought the golden seal out of the palace." Yang Shiqi said lightly: "But he didn't steal it."
"What do you mean?" Ma De was confused, and all his subordinates looked at each other, wondering what the man named Yang was talking about.
"Taking it without telling anyone is called stealing, but the royal seal was given by the emperor and I was ordered to give it to His Highness the Crown Prince. How can it have anything to do with stealing?"
"What?!" Ma De and the others gasped, almost frightened to death. However, Ma De turned his head quickly, gathered himself, and shouted sternly: "That's nonsense! The emperor is still unconscious, how can he give the seal to the emperor?
you?!"
"Of course the emperor has regained consciousness." Yang Shiqi said slowly: "Eunuch Zheng was also present at the time. If you don't believe it, you can go and verify it."
"Uh..." Hearing what Yang Shiqi said, Ma De and others did not dare to speak carelessly for a while. Zheng He was a ********* man with heavy troops. If he really endorsed Yang Shiqi, it would not be like them.
Dare to question it casually.
He then heard Yang Shiqi say with a righteous face: "Also, I am a cabinet scholar. Without the emperor's decree, no one can arbitrarily pass it on. Where does your decree come from? Show it to me!"
"This..." Ma De and others were speechless. Although Zhu Di had jade seals, gold seals, and various private seals, anyone who knew the palace system knew that through the edicts and imperial edicts officially issued by the imperial court,
The emperor's jade seal is used. Edicts issued by the emperor without going through the court, also called Zhongzhi, are stamped with a gold seal. As for other private seals, they are used by the emperor to write poems and poems privately, and to appreciate calligraphy and paintings. There is no seal.
effect.
After Zhu Di's gold seal was lost, although Zhu Gaosui had jade seals and various private seals in his hands, he could not use them on the edict. So the 'edict' in Ma De's arms at this moment was nothing more than a handwritten letter by King Zhao, stamped with King Zhao's royal seal.
.If we really want to take it seriously, not only can it not be used as a basis for arresting people, but it is evidence that the feudal king colluded with the factory guards.
It's just that at this time, no one will talk to you about this. The unarmed side can only be slaughtered by the wolf-like side... So Yang Shiqi didn't say anything at first, but let them take him. Until this moment,
After scaring Ma De and others, they proposed this article as a deterrent.
Of course, it's just a shock, it won't change anything...
After a while, Ma De and others came to their senses, and they were so angry that they put Yang Shiqi and his son in a prison car, and then escorted them back to the prison... Yang Dao looked at his father, but returned to a state of incomparable reverence. He knew very well.
, even if nothing can be changed, the father and son can suffer less from the physical pain. Because the other party's focus will definitely shift elsewhere...
Xiyuan, the night is dark.
Red lanterns were lit outside the palace. Looking from a distance, the palace seemed to be floating on a sea of red, which was eerie and frightening.
King Zhao was pacing back and forth in the palace courtyard with his hands behind his back, his face full of anxiety. He had been in this state since the afternoon, not a drop of water had fallen in, not a grain of rice had touched his eyes, and his eyes were blood red, as if he were hanging high.
Lantern on the beam.
There had been reports before that the gates of the capital were closed, and the factory guards and officers and soldiers of Shuntian Prefecture were searching the whole city, digging three feet into the ground to find the lost gold seal. But King Zhao did not hold out much hope.
It’s just a seal that can be hidden anywhere on the body! It’s smaller than a fire seal, where can I find it?!
King Zhao knew very well that he could only place his hope on prying open the mouths of the three bachelors! Only by letting them identify the whereabouts of the golden seal could it be recovered!
‘It’s really no good, I can only forge one!’ King Zhao had already prepared for the worst. ‘As long as he lies and claims to have recovered the gold seal, he can fool him!’
But he quickly rejected his idea. If the emperor's gold seal was so easy to forge, the Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos!
Although most people may not be able to tell the difference, as long as there is a real comparison, they can make a judgment without saying much.
King Zhao was irritated when he saw Zhao Ying coming in from the outside. King Zhao quickly looked at Zhao Ying's face, and then he remembered that the old eunuch always had a dead face and could not see any change at all. He had to ask in a deep voice: "How is it?
, have you recruited?"
"Got it..." Zhao Ying nodded, but his expression became more and more gloomy as he said: "The three of them insisted that the golden seal was given by the emperor. They were asked to take it out of the palace and give it to the prince!"
"Nonsense!" King Zhao was furious when he heard this: "The emperor has been unconscious there, how can he give them the gold seal?"
"They said that Zheng He was present at the time and he could testify." Zhao Ying said with a gloomy face.
"Zheng He!" King Zhao said with a ferocious look on his handsome face, "They have indeed colluded together!"
"Yes." Zhao Ying had already thought clearly about the cause and effect, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng He has already broken up with us, and he will definitely speak for them. Anyway, he has a will to protect himself, and there is nothing we can do against him!"
It seems that under this situation, there is no need to go in and seek confirmation from Zheng He.
"Is there really no way?!" King Zhao gritted his teeth.
"Yes." Zhao Ying nodded and said softly: "Zheng He has soldiers in his hands and a will, both in name and in reality. Under normal circumstances, no one can touch him."
"Is there no way at all?" King Zhao repeated it with a look of reluctance. He knew very well that although the whole city was under martial law, the other party must have a way to send the golden seal out of the capital. In this way, whether it was the prince or the grandson,
, everyone can get rid of the shackles and return to Beijing!
Once the real prince returns to the capital, the great situation he has worked so hard to create will suddenly be in danger! It is not surprising that the success will fail...
"There is one last way." Zhao Ying's eyes were cold and he said fiercely: "Please make up your mind immediately and take the throne before the crown prince returns to the capital! Use the dignity of the emperor to suppress the previous crown prince!"
