Zhu Jie took the two confessions, read them hastily, and sneered: "Mu Feng, immediately go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to ask for the Sword of the Son of Heaven, you follow me and go to the Yamen of the Criminal Department together, today Lao Tzu is really going to kill!" ”

Zhu Jie got a six-hundred-mile urgent letter from Fang Yuegong and Sun Chuanting, and almost at the same time, Zhao Zhilong, Guo Zuoyong, Liu Kongzhao and others also got letters from Chen Yan and Qian Qianyi.

got the letters from Chen Yan and Qian Qianyi, all the nobles are really going crazy with joy, whether Zhu Jie dies or not, as long as he takes away his military power or is transferred out of Nanjing, it will be the victory of the nobles!

Zhu Jie, this big banner erected by Emperor Chongzhen himself is finally going to fall!

Chen Yan and Qian Qianyi's letter made it very clear that Zhu Jie had been overthrown, deprived of all military power in Nanjing, and only retained the title of counselor, however, counselor service is just a treatment of courtiers by the imperial court, but not a position, people take you to play, you can play, if people don't take you to play, you want to participate, it's impossible!

It can be said that Zhu Jie has been completely driven out of the Nanjing military circles! Without the power to participate in specific military affairs, what is the use of retaining only the power to control government affairs? The nobles don't care, Shi Kefa was also the official with the highest rank in name at the beginning, isn't it completely hollowed out? This time there was an accident in the arsenal, which has already shown that Shi Kefa can't control the situation of the military department at all!

With the letter between Chen Yan and Qian Qianyi, Xungui's waist is naturally stiffened, and it won't take a few days, as soon as the emperor's will arrives, it will be time for the nobles to be the masters again.

When the nobles were celebrating, a bad news came - Zhu Jie was going to interrogate the generals detained by the Criminal Department in advance, and depending on Zhu Jie's meaning, he would continue to cut people, even if he didn't kill them all, the rest of those who were lucky to survive would be driven out of Nanzhili and exiled for thousands of miles!

The nobles couldn't sit still again, there were more than 300 people, these generals were the backbone of the 14th guard of Nanjing, once these people were killed by Zhu Jie, even if the military power of Nanjing fell into the hands of the nobles again, in a short period of time, they could not control the situation in the army, after all, they couldn't go into battle shirtless and personally manage the soldiers of the guards, so where could they manage it?

"Zhu Jie is clearly going to fight a time difference, before the arrival of the holy decree, all these generals will be executed, and then all the cronies will be placed in the barracks, in that case, there will not be a year or two or even two or three years, we will not be able to control the situation of the various departments in Nanjing at all!"

Liu Kongzhao gritted his teeth and said.

"He must not be allowed to succeed! He wants to interrogate these generals, and he has to ask us if we agree! Brothers, it's time for us to come out and work hard, only to protect these people, at least before the emperor's will arrives in Nanjing, we must not let him succeed, and when the court's will arrives, then how to deal with it is not up to him! ”

Zhao Zhilong made a decision in an instant, early this morning, Zhao Zhilong will come to the lobby of the Criminal Department with Bao Guogong, Cheng Anhou, Chengyi Bo, Yuzhou Hou and other nobles, Zhu Daokui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not interrogate in person today, but handed over the matter to Yang Tingshu and the waiter Liu Tianhan, with Yang Tingshu in the Criminal Department, where does Liu Tianhan dare to bend the law for personal gain, he can only pronounce the verdict according to the ready-made evidence and witnesses.

The facts are all there, the evidence is ironclad, this kind of interrogation is too simple, very fast, in less than half an hour, twenty people have been sentenced to be executed, seven or eight people were exiled to Qiongzhou, Zhao Zhilong and others were anxious when they landed, such a sentence, I am afraid that more than 200 people, few of them can live, even if they are lucky not to die, then they will definitely be exiled to Qiongzhou to live Annan, this Zhu Jie is too ruthless......

Zhao Zhilong was a color, and all the nobles made a fuss, accusing Liu Tianhan and Yang Tingshu of unfairness, using power for personal gain, and disregarding human life, in the face of more than a dozen nobles' accusations, Liu Tianhan was stupid on the spot, as for Yang Tingshu, this jealous and hateful, temperamental like a fiery right capital imperial history, naturally resisted the nobles of various families, but where could he withstand the attacks of the nobles?

In the chaos, a noble whipped down fiercely, almost beating Yang Tingshu half to death, a weak scholar, where can he stand this?

When Zhu Jie came to the lobby of the Criminal Department with people, it was the time when the nobles made the most trouble, and even Zhu Daokui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, ran over to relieve the siege, but an idle Nanjing Criminal Department Shangshu was naturally not in the eyes of Zhao Zhilong and others, and he did not give an inch, and even asked Zhu Daokui to directly release all the generals!

Where does Zhu Daokui dare to be this master? As the secretary of the Criminal Department, if he did not complete the interrogation, he released all the key criminals, then he would die, even if Zhu Jie did not pursue it, the emperor of Beijing City would not let him go, this is not a trivial matter!

Zhu Daokui persuaded him hard, everyone is on the same mountain, why bother to force me? As long as you hold on for two days and wait for the emperor's will to come down, then everything will be over?

"The Overseer has arrived!"

With the shouting of a personal guard, Zhu Jie walked in quickly, and Li Yan, Gao Jie and others only followed!

"What to do, what to do! This is the yamen of the criminal department! It's a national powerhouse, do you think this is a vegetable market? Licentious! ”

Zhu Jie roared angrily, shocking all the nobles in the lobby, and they all stopped shouting.

Zhao Zhilong looked at Zhu Jie and said in a dark voice: "Lord Governor, now, are you still so angry?" Hasn't the news of Beijing reached your ears yet? What are you still arrogant about? ”

Zhu Jie sneered: "Uncle Xin Cheng, this sentence is for you, what are you arrogant about?" Do you really think that if you have Danshu iron coupons at home, I won't be able to cure you? I care what decision the imperial court will make in the end, I only know that I am still the military and political governor of Nanzhili, and before the holy decree arrives, the entire Nanzhili will listen to me! Dare to besiege the lobby of the Criminal Department, you really have a long life, right? ”

"Arrogant? Are we arrogant there? ”

Liu Kongzhao sneered: "Zhenguo Gong, you have handled it unfairly, taken revenge for personal gain, and wanted to kill so many people in one go, it is already full of evil, why, we nobles are not satisfied, just dissatisfied, how about it?" We ask the imperial court to appoint a special person to interrogate the mutiny! In this Nanjing City, you can't cover the sky with one hand! ”
