Words...... At a young age, he even reached the point of confessing his last words, not to mention half a year ago, even just half a month ago, the second prince would never have thought of these two words. However, at this moment, he did feel extremely uncomfortable, and the panic that he could die was so overwhelming that the hand he was hiding behind his back still had trouble breathing, even though he held something.

"Chu ...... Wide, do you really dare...... You just leave no room for anything? ”

Squatting in front of the second prince, Chu Kuan smiled and said disapprehantly: "Leeway? Have your brothers, and your mothers, left room for others? She occupies the position of the middle palace, and the two of you occupy the position of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son, what kind of mess have you done? Do you still want to inherit the Jiangshan Sheji and ascend to the treasure? ”

The second prince's already pale face finally lost the only remaining bit of blood. Although he is arrogant, arrogant and bold, and most of the time he does not use his brain, but now that he is in a desperate situation, he only feels that his brain is spinning fast, and many of the dirty water that he has not figured out before, and does not know who poured dirty water on their mother, son and brother, at this time he only feels that he has an answer.

However, he opened his mouth to shout, at least to let the people outside hear his voice, but he opened his mouth and tried his best, but not the slightest sound came out of his mouth, and the more he inhaled, the more his chest felt whirring, and even the hateful face in front of him seemed to be a little blurry.

In the end, he couldn't say a word, just stared at the eyes of the two dead fish, and swallowed his last breath. However, Chu Kuan still stood there quietly, waited for a long time, and then stretched out his hand, gently rubbed the two eyes, and then said softly: "Go well, dust to dust, dust to dust, let the dead be at peace, and let the living return to liberation." ”

If Zhang Shou was here, hearing such a sentence, even if he had never been a believer of any sect, he would definitely be surprised. And the next moment, Chu Kuan stood up with a shake of the sleeves of his robe, and immediately said word by word: "Although I am doing it on orders, the responsibility for this matter is naturally taken on my shoulders, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

"Second prince, if you go to Jiuquan and want to sue King Yama, remember to only sue me Chu Kuan, don't involve others."

After saying this, he smiled in his heart. Emperor Taizu said that the villain died from talking too much, which the second prince probably hadn't heard of. was punctured in the lungs by a dying blow, but he still wanted to speak, and wanted to question him if he was behind that series of events, and he was really impatient.

Now, the last of the three mother-son brothers has closed their eyes forever, and finally no one can pursue the old things anymore. And with the simple two sentences he just said that seemed to be a sincere expression, no one would have thought of those aspects.

Therefore, when Chu Kuan walked out of the house, his face was covered with haze, but his heart was relieved. Shen Sheng ordered everyone to collect the body of the second prince, and when he saw that the commander of the Rui cavalry battalion and the general of Shanhailu were simply trembling, he said disapprerovitly: "The emperor has already made public the death of the second prince, but now he has only recovered the corpse, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

What Chu Kuan said to the second prince just now, these two generals with excellent ear power have roughly heard it, so at this time, the only way to do it is to bite the bullet. However, General Shanhai Lu cautiously asked: "There are still two living mouths among the people who have just been dragged out, does Gonggong Chu want to ask in person?" ”

"That's right." Chu Kuan nodded slightly, and then ordered, "Call four more people who have good memories, have no relationship with each other, and it is best to be literate." I didn't be too kind when I started before, and after asking for a while, I may not be able to stay alive to go to the capital. The confessions that come out are recorded one by one, and they can also testify. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "Of course, if the two of you are willing to listen to it in person, then you can do it." ”

Where are the commanders of the Rui Cavalry Battalion and the Shanhai Road Counselors willing to mix in such muddy waters, they naturally dare not even dare at this time, so they hurriedly went to screen the unlucky ghosts. Having said that, they didn't really choose those who didn't get along with them or didn't like them in the past - Chu Kuan just said that, including them and those little soldiers below, naturally they would not be wiped out.

Otherwise, wouldn't this so-called human testimony and confession be a joke?

Since the two of them tried their best, it was only a matter of moments, and Chu Kuan took four seemingly mighty and majestic men into a side room of the post station. It's just that the four majestic and high-spirited pawns looked at the palace eunuchs in front of them who were walking slowly with their sleeves folded and their steps leisurely, but they were all cold in their hearts.

The dead bodies in the house in the courtyard just now were almost all the hands of this Father-in-law Chu alone! It can be said that if it weren't for the scruples of the second prince before, this person with a long and short sword would have been able to clean up all the more than 20 guys! What's even more terrifying is that the two princes are dead, but this Duke of Chu is still fine, and he is not afraid of the emperor's blame!

So, the four silent sharp pawns didn't dare to say a word, and watched Chu Kuan wake up one of the two living mouths, and then began to interrogate with a slight smile, however, although that face was smiling, and the voice in that mouth was certainly very gentle, it was not commensurate with the merciless torture methods and sharp words, even if it was not them, they all felt cold.

These bystanders are still like this, although the captured living mouth thinks that they can be regarded as dead soldiers, but in the face of such a calm and fierce interrogator, they still carry from the death at the beginning to gradually fall into panic and even despair, and they are eager to pour out what they have eaten for the last meal.

"That's right, we occupy the Jeju Island in Goryeo, Goryeo is known as a big country, there was turmoil a few years ago, and a large number of officials from top to bottom were bought by us, but now that the new king has ascended the throne, there are many people, and Jeju Island can't hide it, so we thought of pretending to be an envoy of Haedong Hwa to come back, hoping to get a clan to go over."

"The person who came up with the idea said that the king of Goryeo is just a county king canonized by the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is a proper clan or even a prince, we can legitimately make a name for ourselves in Goryeo."

"Then we will not be pirates, but two shifts in the future!"

"The people on the Goryeo side are stupid, especially the untouchables are trampled under their feet, the most in the country are slaves and maids, and the rebels are like children, if we get into trouble, we will definitely be able to sweep the whole territory."

"It just so happened that the second prince was removed from the emperor's genealogy and was driven to Qiongzhou Mansion by sea, so we inquired all the way and intercepted the boat. Counting whether the time can catch up with the New Year's tribute gift, this is the shore on the side of Qinhuangdao. ”

This was the testimony of one of them, and the other even swore that he had heard that another group of pirates had taken over a corner of Japan, and that the real daimyo was like a puppet. At this moment, the four sharp pawns felt breathtaking.

Pirates...... That's a pirate! Unexpectedly, the two small countries next to it were mixed to the point of almost sealing the territory? Is this still going to go back from the Ming Dynasty to pull up the tiger skin and make a big banner? Is it tolerable or unbearable, of course it should be killed!

And Chu Kuan asked these questions from the mouths of the two, seeing that both of them were dying, he suddenly asked: "So, let those Goryeo people not eat rice and vegetables after they arrive in the capital, and then anchor and land on Qinhuangdao on the edge of Shanhaiwei, this can't be the idea of you pirates entrenched in Goryeo yourself, right?" ”

Such a question is also what the two sharp soldiers of Shanhaiwei want to know the most, so they naturally pricked up their ears, as for the question of what the real Goryeo people eat when they arrive in the capital, they don't care too much, but this is what the two sharp soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion are very interested in.

As a result, the four of them all raised their spirits, and the two people who were rotten into soft noodles in Chu Kuan's hands, although they didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, but seeing that the legendary staggered hand fell on him, of course he didn't want to endure it again. One of them hurriedly said: "Someone came to see my family Zhu Ye, and that person taught him this!" ”

He swore that in this way, people would treat us as people from the real Haidong Huaguo!"

"We were sent out because of that guy's advice! We are the ones who have committed crimes, and our wives and children are all over there! ”

When he said this, he seemed to have noticed the contemptuous gaze of the people around him, but it was sad from his heart. He also attaches great importance to his wife, children and family, but when he encounters a ruthless executioner like Chu Kuan, he really can't stand it! Otherwise, even if he died, he wouldn't dare to confess the Zhu Ye who occupied a side in Goryeo!

However, when Chu Kuan continued to ask where people came from, where they came from, where they were going, and even where they spoke and dressed in detail, his eyes were completely blackened. He's a little minion who was sent out like a dead man, how could he know so much.

Next, the four sharp pawns witnessed the really simple and rough side, only to see Chu Kuan one in each hand, and directly strangled the two dying living mouths on the spot, and then stood up casually, without even wiping his hands with the snow-white silk handkerchief that is common in the play, he just rubbed his wrist very casually.

But at this moment, they who had also killed people couldn't help but take a step back in unison. Immediately after, one of the bold ones hurriedly asked: "Gonggong Chu, people are killed like this, although there are four of us to testify, but if you return to the capital, others don't believe it, then ......"

"I only need to report this matter to the emperor, as for the others...... A sentence of piracy is enough to explain everything. Chu Kuan smiled, his attitude seemed warm and cordial, not at all the ruthless style when he tossed people just now, although he was also laughing just now, but the impression before and after was completely different.

"I remember that since the Han Dynasty, there has been a rule, but if the robbers and bandits take hostages, there is no need to scruples, let alone negotiate, they will directly attack and kill without mercy! A certain famous minister in the Han Dynasty had the heart to risk his son's life, let alone the emperor? As for some of the bosses in the court, don't look at how much they usually like to shout, this time they won't talk too much. ”

"Okay, I'll find someone to write down what I just asked, and then after you read it, it's okay, just draw a charge."

This errand was incredibly easy, the four of them followed Chu Kuan honestly, and saw that the person had completely retold the confessions of the two people just now, although it was the same as what they heard, but they didn't suddenly remember a question until this time, that is, why didn't Chu Kuan ask one of them to write down just now?

But as soon as they remembered, they only heard Chu Kuan say slowly: "Those two guys just now are just one breath away from death, if you ask someone to record, no matter how fast you write, you have to write down those intermittent and incoherent words, but you can't catch them." Anyway, the four of you can pick up each other's shortcomings, and I'm confident in my memory, so let's leave it at that. ”

Chu Kuan said so, where would the four of them be uninteresting? After carefully reading the confession, but repeatedly confirming each other, they solemnly signed and signed the confession, and of course, they inevitably had to press their own handprints.

And after doing all this, Chu Kuan threw away all the things about cleaning up the aftermath, and straightforwardly rode his horse back to Beijing, and didn't even give a special order on how to dispose of the corpse of the second prince. By the time the commander of the Rui Cavalry Battalion and the general of Shanhai Road both reacted, this henchman of the Son of Heaven had already walked so far that he couldn't even see a shadow.

Chu Kuan really didn't care what to do with the corpse of the second prince. In this cold season, it is very easy for others to be buried on the spot, and then find a coffin for the second prince to be buried, and then transport it to the capital. And even if those two brave thieves directly buried the second prince on the spot, he didn't think there was any problem.

After all, not to mention the things that the second prince did after being held hostage, the person who was expelled from the genealogy is no longer worthy of being called a prince.

Galloping day and night, in the cold season of winter, it is naturally a great torture. However, Chu Kuan tightly wrapped the black coat on his body, only slept for two hours a day, and was on the horse the rest of the time, but he finally arrived in the capital on the fifth day of the first lunar month by relying on his excellent riding skills and the weather that was quite helpful.

Of course, he knew that he had said that the queen mother's edict was the emperor's edict, and thus directly attacked and caused the death of the second prince, how serious the nature of the matter was, but since he had done it, the emperor had also ordered similar angry words before, so he was not stunned at all.

Of course, he didn't know anything about Zhang Shou's bad idea of taking a certain Florentine teenager to see if he could communicate. When he appeared in the Qianqing Palace, even Chen Yongshou, who hurried out to greet him, was taken aback. He went up and arched his hand, and then said with a dry smile: "Father-in-law Chu, your journey is really fast enough." ”

Hearing that Chen Yongshou told Zhang Shou's perfunctory idea, and said that he was about to set off, but was stopped by the Queen Mother's decree, Chu Kuan nodded, and then took out the documentary evidence from his arms and handed it directly to Chen Yongshou.

"I was tired of Gonggong Chen going in to present this thing, and then told the emperor that Chu Kuan was going to kill 21 traitors, but fortunately he was not dishonored. However, the second prince was held hostage and victimized by others, and he failed to save it, all of which were Chu Kuan's fault. ”
