In the prison, Zhou Yanru was wrapped in gauze on his head and sat in a precarious position.

This was the fifth day of his "hunger strike".

As the leader of the Donglin Party, after being imprisoned by the Son of Heaven, he naturally had to maintain his style and bones, thinking that he was an example for the Donglin people in the world. And the hunger strike, oh no, it should be a hunger strike to show Mingzhi, which is an important part of his demonstration of his iron bones.

It wasn't long before the cell boss came over with fresh food.

"Lord Zhou, it's time to eat. The cell boss said with a smile.

Zhou Yanru, as usual, said disdainfully, "Since Zhou has been imprisoned, he can't afford to be called an 'adult'. Since ancient times, the monarch and the minister had to die, and Zhou had decided to die to make his will clear, so that the head of the forest cell did not have to bother. ”

The cell boss smiled again, obviously Zhou Yanru's "resolute" momentum did not affect his mood in the slightest.

He opened the door and entered the cell with a few other brothers, and then said, "Lord Zhou, then we are still the old rules, and the brothers will feed you?"

Zhou Yanru said angrily, "Presumptuous!

The cell boss smiled, "Okay, Lord Zhou, we know that you are iron-clad, right?

After that, several jailers immediately stepped forward and held down Zhou Yanru, while the cell boss took out a special tool to open Zhou Yanru's mouth and stuffed spoonfuls of porridge into it.

While stuffing it, he said, "Lord Zhou, it's meat and bone porridge today, don't worry, we'll help you remove the bones, and as for the meat, we'll also help you chop it, and you can laugh if you don't chew it." ”

Zhou Yanru struggled desperately, and at first he seemed to be scolding something, but it didn't take long for him to give up resistance, and he drank the porridge one by one very cooperatively.

Several of the jailers had mocking smiles on their faces.

They really think it's funny.

Every time you eat, you have to go through this procedure, this old man is not too tired?

If you really don't want to eat it, just spit it out, or if you don't swallow it, no matter how much our brother stuffs it, it's okay?

Obviously eating happily, you have to act like you don't want to eat, should you be a bitch hooking a young chick?

"Hey, Lord Zhou, look at that chicken leg, hurry up, chop it!" said the old man.

A jailer immediately took action, sliced a piece of meat from the chicken thigh, then chopped it and sent it to Zhou Yanru's mouth.

Zhou Yanru's expression is good, it seems that this chicken leg is still very much to his liking.

It took a quarter of an hour, and the jailers finally completed their task.

The cell boss withdrew the tools, beckoned the brothers to let go of Zhou Yanru, and then said with a smile as usual, "Lord Zhou, the brothers have withdrawn first, and you can use the rest slowly, if it is not enough, tell us again." ”

Zhou Yanru kicked over the rest of the meal as usual, and pointed at the guards and scolded. The jailers didn't care, anyway, this is also one of the procedures, the old man likes to scold people after eating, so let him go.

Zhou Yanru saw that the jailers were far away, so he stopped scolding, burped lightly, and touched the oil at the corner of his mouth.

Today's porridge is a bit salty.

He then continued to sit upright and continue his hunger strike.

If this continues, he will have no problem at all in "hunger strike" for three years and five years.

At this time, Wang Dehua came. On his hand, he carried a yellow thing, and Zhou Yanru could see at a glance that it was a holy decree.

He suddenly became nervous, what decision did the emperor make? Will he kill me? According to the crime that the emperor said before, he will be executed by Ling Chi and punished by the Nine Clans!

"The holy decree has arrived, Zhou Yanru has taken it!" Wang Dehua shouted softly.

Zhou Yanru knelt down in fright, kowtowed in a proper manner, and said, "Minister, oh no, Xiaomin Zhou Yanru takes the order!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, although Zhou Yanru arrogant the courtesy and rushed recklessly, but the thought was actually out of the safety of the Ming Society, and it was understandable. After thinking about it, I deeply felt his heart, promoted him to reinstate, and added the prince and the prince to show my affection. Chin!"

Zhou Yanru was overjoyed after hearing this, and couldn't help but show a smug smile.

Hmph, the emperor is still afraid of me Donglin after all. This should have been the case a long time ago, he should have known, in this world, apart from us Donglin can help him guard, who else can help him?

Thinking of this, he said unhurriedly, "Minister, Zhou Yanru, thank the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After that, he accepted the holy decree triumphantly, and then said to Wang Dehua without saltiness, "There is a prince of Lao." ”

Wang Dehua saw Zhou Yanru's expression, and sneered in his heart: Hehe, this idiot, he doesn't know how to die when he dies.

After Zhou Yanru received the holy decree, he didn't go home to wash up, so he went directly to the imperial study, saying that he wanted to see Chongzhen.

He just wanted Chongzhen to see what he was like now to show his "unyielding" spirit.

After Chongzhen let him enter the imperial study, he asked for a while, which made Zhou Yanru feel that the emperor was a lot more "well-behaved", which made him very pleased.

The emperor can learn this lesson and be "sensible"!

After the greetings, Chongzhen got to the point, saying that he had thought about it carefully and felt that Zhou Yanru's impeachment of Qin Shuhuai was not unreasonable, and now he was ready to send someone to investigate the matter on the three sides.

Zhou Yanru was even more overjoyed, and even called the emperor wise.

Chongzhen said again, "But the person who goes to investigate needs to be a person who is upright and not swayed by external forces, and this person needs to know how to march and fight, and also need to understand the rule of officials, what does Zhou Qing think?"

Zhou Yanru naturally nodded and said, "The minister thinks what the emperor said is very true. We can neither indulge Qin Shuhuai in vain, nor can we wronged him. ”

Chongzhen asked again, "So, I think that Zhang Yijia, the governor of Baoding and the Qing official of the Ministry of War, was sent to be in charge of this investigation, what does Zhou Qing think?"

As soon as Zhou Yanru heard that it was their Donglin people, he immediately responded, "The emperor is wise, and the minister seconds it!"

I thought to myself, Qin Shuhuai, let's see what other tricks you can use this time? Hehe, in a few days, you will go from being a great hero in the limelight to a bear who abandons the city and escapes and lies about his military exploits! This time, let's settle the old accounts together!

Inside the city of Ankang.

After dawn that day, He Kegang officially ordered the whole army to advance from Xicheng to Dongcheng, and if he encountered a rogue on the way, he would be killed on the spot.

The officers and soldiers divided the ranks into twenty groups, with heavy cavalry opening the way in front, shield soldiers guarding on both sides, and twenty teams covering each other and advancing in unison. If they encounter a narrow alley or alley, they will be surrounded first, and the archers and crossbowmen will stand on the roof, and the ground infantry will enter the search

However, they carefully spent a whole day, searching from the west of the city to the east of the city, and from the south of the city to the north of the city, searching almost every corner of the city, and they did not find a single rogue!

The 38,000 rogues in Ankang City seemed to have evaporated from the world overnight, and there was no trace of them!

The official army occupied Ankang City, one of Gao Yingxiang's three old nests, without blood?
