Chapter 625 The most painful thing is not death, but waiting to die
Spain is very strong and is the second world empire. The first world empire was Portugal. Later, Portugal gradually declined, and the Spanish royal family began to dominate Globalization in the Age of Discovery has become the first empire on which the sun never sets.
Every year, treasure ships are filled with silver, gold, jewelry, spices and other extravagant items and are sent back to the homeland.
But using all your strength to attack England at all costs is an act of gambling on the fate of the country. This decision is definitely not a wise one, because Felipe II gambled five times in total, five times in total. He lost to God once, and he failed to lose five times, which shows the depth and blood tank of Spain.
Small countries like England and Japan like to gamble against big countries on their national fortunes. If they lose, they will gnash their teeth and lie dormant, hanging alone overseas. There will always be a day when they can rise again. But if a big country loses, what will happen to the small country? The profit is even greater than the accumulation in the entire history.
Kublai Khan attacked Japan twice, but was defeated by Hydrology and Astronomy. Felipe II attacked England five times, but was also defeated by Hydrology and Astronomy.
This is the reason why Ming Dynasty is taking his time now. Ming Dynasty is not in a hurry. At such an old age, Ming Dynasty must be calm and calm, like a wise man sitting by the river, watching quietly. The enemy's corpse floated slowly across the river.
Zhu Yijun handled a number of foreign affairs, loaning money to Portugal, selling twenty five-masted transoceanic ships to Spain, expelling the French king's male favorite, humiliating the English envoy, and providing financial services to the deceased Iraqi Fan IV replied to the letter and so on. This diplomatic activity was very fruitful.
The Ming Dynasty is booming.
The home of Chonggu, the second assistant king of the Ming Dynasty, is close to the Quanjin Guild Hall. Today is the day to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Being an official in the court, becoming an official is called being released to rely on relatives. Before becoming an official, you can't return to your hometown for a while, let alone a high official like Wang Chonggu. If you really become an official, you will live in a big house in Xitucheng instead of returning to Pucheng.
Before Wang Qian didn’t get Jinshi, he always went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. But now that Wang Qian has also become a Jinshi in high school, his hometown has become a distant memory, but recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan is also the culture and tradition of the Ming Dynasty. , Wang Chonggu and Wang Qian could not leave, so Wang Chonggu's younger brother Wang Chongyi returned home to visit the grave.
As the most powerful right-wingers in the Ming Dynasty, the Wang family has dual status as a monopoly class and an elected official class. When they return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, the pomp and circumstance is inevitable. There are twelve carriages alone. Wang Chonggu holds a The grandson, who was only three years old, was fluent in speech and curious about everything. He couldn't explain clearly and kept saying that Wang Qian's youngest son liked to pull Wang Chonggu's beard the most.
At this time, Wang Chonggu was not the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty or the general manager of the official factory, but a grandfather and elder brother.
"Silang, this trip back to my hometown is much easier than the last time. Recently, the Beijing camp went to the Taihang Mountains to suppress bandits. It is much more peaceful. When I get home, I will also accuse my ancestors of being unfilial. , I can’t go back this year.” Wang Chonggu said with a smile and Wang Chongyi, although he said he wanted to apologize modestly, but his tone was actually quite proud.
"What did I say? My parents have a spirit underground. Knowing that I am so powerful, I will never think that I am an unfilial son! I will probably scold me bloody, I am a worthless thing. I have been a foot trader all my life, and now I am still a foot trader," Wang Chongyi said cheerfully.
Wang Chonggu did not return to his hometown to kowtow at his ancestral graves because he was the second minister of the empire. His ancestors knew that they would not blame him, but would be happy to know that Wang Chonggu would be honored on a separate page in his family tree. From now on, he will be the ancestor passed down from generation to generation by his family.
"I, thanks to my son-in-law, the kelp business of the Kelp King has something to nag about in front of my parents." Wang Chongyi said of his son-in-law Yao Guangqi, the two His eyes were shining brightly. The old Yao family was really blind. Such a promising child just gave up and was taken advantage of by Wang Chongyi.
The kelp in Shandong is not profitable, but the seafood business that comes with the kelp is quite profitable, so Wang Chongyi is now making a lot of money while doing good deeds. After all, this kelp can really prevent and cure big neck disease. Wang Chongyi There is nothing wrong with the transaction.
"Shiro, remember my advice, never disturb the place. If you are caught by a cheap scholar, I will be in trouble here. Get more money, take care of yourself on the road, don't be anxious with others, you He has a temper and likes to be aggressive with others. At such an old age, he doesn't know how to be calm." Wang Chonggu put down his grandson in his arms and told Wang Chongyi not to disturb the place.
"I know, I know." Wang Chongyi smiled, waved his hand, lifted up his hem, got in the car, opened the window, smiled at Wang Chonggu and said, "Brother, I'm leaving."
Wang Chonggu put down the child in his hand. His grandson is three years old this year. Children are prone to die young, so they should be covered on their backs. Back covering is the dialect of Shanxi, which means holding against your back to avoid catching a cold. Now three Now that I'm 20 years old, go home and take a look, it's like recognizing your home.
The little grandson liked Wang Chonggu’s beard very much and refused to leave, but Wang Chonggu pretended to be serious and handed the child out. The little grandson was not happy that he could not grab his grandfather’s beard, but as soon as he got in the car, he grabbed the fourth grandfather again. The beard is happy again.
"Let's go." Wang Chonggu waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and watched a car go away.
Wang Chonggu showed a gratified smile. He felt that he was worthy of the official position given by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and worthy of the expectations of the people of Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chonggu saw a figure rushing towards the car, and then there was a shocking loud noise.
"Boom! Bang bang bang!"
A flash of fire suddenly appeared, and then an extremely violent explosion sounded. Wang Chongyi held the car with his little grandson in his arms, and soared into the air amid the huge explosion. It rose, disintegrated in the air, fell to the ground in pieces, and the vehicle began to burn.
The smile on Wang Chonggu's face froze. He watched in disbelief as the wreckage of the car burned. He watched his brother being blown to death like this. He didn't know what happened. He was stunned. There was an unrealistic illusion in place. He didn't want it to be true, but this scene happened suddenly and in an extremely peaceful atmosphere.
The blood was surging, and Ming Jifu, who was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning, stared blankly at the wreckage in front of him burning after the explosion. The sounds everywhere seemed to have completely disappeared, including shouting, putting out fires, and pots and bowls. The collision of ladles and the mixing of water and fire created thick smoke that could be seen, but not heard.
"Buzz."
Wang Chonggu felt a buzzing in his ears, and then the sky began to spin, the world was upside down, and then his eyes turned white.
"Dad!" Wang Qian and Wang Chonggu stood together, both stunned by the sudden explosion. Seeing Wang Chonggu staggering down, he hurriedly supported him.
On one side was his biological father, whose life or death was uncertain, and on the other was his younger son, whose life or death was uncertain. Wang Qian hugged his biological father and did not let go. Instead, he loudly ordered his servants to put out the fire. The scene was quite noisy.
After a long, long time, Wang Chonggu felt that he woke up, but he could not open his eyes, but he could hear voices. It was very quiet, but he could hear whispers.
"Mr. Li, how is Wang Cifu's condition?"
"I was so angry that I fainted for a while. I woke up after a while. It was not serious, but I need to rest for a few days. "
"Tishuai, how is the investigation of the explosion going?"
"It is still being investigated, and there are very few clues. It can be seen from the confessions of everyone at the scene that someone was holding a gun. He rushed to the side of the car with a lit bag of gunpowder. Wang Chongyi, Cifu's younger brother, died on the spot. Wang Chongyi desperately protected his little grandson in his arms. His arms were burned. In addition to the attacker, a groom and a guard were also killed. Seriously injured, in critical condition. "
"The guard was trying to get the grandson out of the car. The car was overturned by the explosion and caught fire. The guard used his last strength to get the grandson out. "
< br>
"Your Majesty, your guard...died just now."
...
A lot of voices filled Wang Chonggu's ears, and Wang Chonggu became very angry. He knew that he His younger brother, his only younger brother, died without a complete body. Only his grandson, who liked to pull out his beard, escaped death under the protection of everyone.
The angrier Wang Chonggu became, the more he could not open his eyes or wake up.
Wang Chonggu felt someone sitting next to the bed with an extra hand on his body.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I should have thought of it a long time ago. I swear, no matter who it is, I will take revenge. The murderer will always be killed."
Wang Chonggu finally realized clearly that His Majesty was beside him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw His Majesty's outline clearly, and then said, "Why are Your Majesty here?"
"Mr. Li, Wang Cifu is awake. Come." Zhu Yijun did not answer, but asked Li Shizhen to come and take a closer look.
Li Shizhen checked for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good to wake up, everything is fine."
"I rushed over after hearing the news. Tiqi was cleaning the scene. Wang Cifu needs a good rest. Leave this matter to me, Tishuai, and dispatch 200 cavalry retinues to Wang Cifu's family to prevent such an accident from happening again." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said, "It's all my fault. I had it early. What should have been thought of, should have been thought of long ago.”
"Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor. Even if he tried his best to guess their lower limit, he still overestimated their morality, and so did I." Wang Chonggu propped himself up and sat up. He was silent for a moment, and did not ride in their old Wang's house. In fact, it is a tacit understanding between the king and his ministers.
Only then did Wang Chonggu see Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng beside the bed.
Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and then eliminated Zhang Juzheng’s suspicion. It’s not that Zhang Juzheng didn’t want to kill him, but that Zhang Juzheng wanted to kill him. There was no need to carry out any bombings. Last time, Zhang Juzheng went directly to the palace. Shang Tielin's army surrounded Wang Chonggu's home, and Zhang Juzheng was about to kill someone, all in an upright manner.
Wang Chonggu looked at Qi Jiguang. He felt a bone-chilling chill from Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang, who was not angry and proud, was filled with murderous intent to keep strangers away. Qi Jiguang, who was very elegant and easy-going in the pass, was the first The coldness of the blade pointing inward was revealed for the first time.
"Silang doesn't deserve to die, it's me who deserves to die." Wang Chonggu leaned on the bed and sighed, his expression a little gloomy. When he didn't wake up, he was angry. After waking up, he felt a little sad. Ashes.
That car was his driver, and it was Wang Chonggu who was going to be killed. The assassin also saw the car and pounced on it.
“Damn it, these insects, at the feet of the emperor, the most virtuous place, dare to assassinate the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty openly!” Zhu Yijun stood up and said: “The second assistant just rests.”
Zhu Yijun didn't stay long. He wanted to find this audacious traitor and blow up his whole family.
Until sunset, the Tiqi, who were good at handling cases, found some plausible clues.
Zhao Mengyou said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, the man who rushed up with gunpowder is called Li Sanhu. Li Sanhu is an idle and degenerate person in Xicheng. He is attached to the entrance of Meishi and makes a living by helping people push briquettes. After his mouth was wiped out by Wang Cifu, he lost his livelihood. I arrested several of Li Sanhu’s friends and they all said that Li Sanhu had sworn to kill Wang Chonggu.”
"Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents," Li Sanhu often said to people. It seems that he did it impulsively."
"But Your Majesty, I discovered something during the investigation. Li Sanhu was in the coal market. After his mouth was wiped out by Wang Cifu, he lost his livelihood and spent money lavishly. He even went to Taibai Tower. Li Sanhu worked for a day to earn a day's money. He had no money to go to Taibai Tower. The entrance to this place only cost ten taels of silver. Li Sanhu couldn't do it. "
"And the most important thing is gunpowder. Gunpowder with such explosive power cannot be obtained by Li Sanhu. It may cause such huge power."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Looking at who gave him the money is one clue, and looking at the source of the gunpowder is another clue. There are only two clues. Any clues?”
“I have another clue here,” Zhao Mengyou said with a solemn expression: “The day before the explosion, someone shorted Suiyuan Chidao and Suiyuan Mining for a huge amount. Three million silver."
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun sat up straight. The only ones in Guanchang and Guandao who had bought tickets at Yanxinglou were Suiyuan Chidao and Suiyuan Mining. On the day before Wang Chonggu was assassinated, Suiyuan Chidao and Suiyuan Mining were short selling, which was obviously Someone has received the exact message, and there will be incidents that will affect the price of the ticket.
Both short-selling and short-selling are trading methods of trading houses. For example, Person A thinks that the price of Suiyuan Chidao tickets will fall, so he borrows money from Person B who has the spot, sells the tickets and cashes in, leaving With cash in hand, when the ticket price drops, the same amount of tickets will be bought back and returned to B. This is essentially a gamble.
Wang Chonggu is a member of the government, factory and engineering corps. Once Wang Chonggu is attacked and major bad news comes out, the price of Suiyuan tickets will definitely fall.
Wang Qian once bluntly said in "Analysis of Valuable Tickets" that the game of trading houses itself is the use of information to make profits. Jiuhuang has no inside information, and even if it wins for a while, it cannot win for the rest of its life. There is no wealth myth, and if there is, it is deception.
"This was a long-planned assassination. It started after Wang Cifu took over Meishikou. Once the connection was an accident, twice it was a coincidence, and three times it was the culprit." Zhao Mengyou was very convinced that there was a mastermind behind this incident. Everything, not the accidental behavior of Li Sanhu.
"If we continue the investigation, no matter who we find, even if we find Mr. Zhao." Zhu Yijun gave Zhao Mengyou the authority to investigate the case. He can investigate, but he will investigate Zhang Juzheng to the end and will never tolerate it. .
Zhu Yijun has confidence in Zhang Juzheng. The reason for his confidence is that Zhang Juzheng wants to kill someone, so there is no need to be so dirty. Zhang Juzheng wants to kill Wang Chonggu, why wait now?
"I will handle the case." Zhao Mengyou did not explain to His Majesty the difficulty of handling the case. As far as Tiqi is concerned, as long as His Majesty wants to know, Tiqi can get to the bottom of it.
Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood. He knew clearly that Wang Chonggu had betrayed his original class and even used the Jin Party to gain his reputation, but he did not protect him in advance, which led to the tragedy. This was inadvertent. He was very Blaming himself, Wang Chongyi was also a profiteer in the past. Later, after Wang Chonggu defected, Wang Chongyi started doing kelp business.
Wang Chongyi, the driver, and the guards all deserved to die.
"Your Majesty, it's not your Majesty's fault for not sending cavalry to Wang Cifu, it's Wang Cifu's fault." Feng Bao has followed the emperor for many years and is very aware of the emperor's current mood. His Majesty is blaming himself and feeling that he Not doing well enough.
“Nonsense.” Zhu Yijun knocked on the table and said slightly dissatisfied.
Feng Bao bowed his head again and said: "Your Majesty did not send cavalry to Wang Cifu. Isn't it because Wang Cifu turned out to be a tyrannical minister? Later he changed his ways and found his way back. However, your majesty sent cavalry to Wang Cifu, which was more or less under surveillance. It means that it is of no use to the emperor and his ministers.”
Feng Bao testified that His Majesty really thought of sending people to protect Wang Chonggu. Although Wang Chonggu wanted to be powerful and had his own servants, he was not professional enough after all, and Tiqi was extremely powerful. Professionally, Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong to Zhang Juzheng. Everyone knew that Luo Sigong would not hesitate to defend His Majesty, but His Majesty still sent Luo Sigong to Zhang Juzheng.
And Zhang Juzheng would not think that His Majesty sent people to monitor him and control him.
But Wang Chonggu was different. Wang Chonggu himself was a rebel. If the emperor sent Tiqi over, wouldn't that force Wang Chonggu to commit suicide?
It was really inappropriate before.
"You are right, but if Wang Cifu had not changed his banner, he would not have suffered such a misfortune." Zhu Yijun agreed with Feng Bao's statement and did not send cavalry to Wang Chonggu in order to prevent conflicts between the monarch and his ministers. There is indeed a tacit understanding between the king and his ministers when they are suspicious.
But the incident happened in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, and assassinating ministers meant that Zhu Yijun, the emperor, was not taken seriously.
"Wang Cifu would have been killed by the clan along with Zhang Siwei long ago if he had not changed his banner." Feng Bao still insisted that His Majesty was right in the whole matter.
If Wang Chonggu was like Zhang Juzheng, then the emperor would of course be able to send Tiqi for protection without any scruples, without waiting for a tragedy to happen.
The next morning, before the court meeting had begun, Zhao Mengyou reported the results of the investigation with red eyes. It turned out that Xu Youren, who controlled Meishikou, and the Xu family were major suspects. Three clues all pointed to Xu Youren. Home.
"Go and search the house, dig three feet into the ground." Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair on the platform and wrote a copy of the edict in his own handwriting. Then he took the blank driving note given by Wang Chonggu and told him about the house search. Written on the blank driving post.
Wang Chonggu gave His Majesty ten blank driving notices. It was after His Majesty killed Chen Youren in the street who slandered the Qi family army to pacify the Japanese and glorified the Japanese pirates. In order to prevent the conflict between imperial power and legal procedures, Wang Chonggu made ten blank ones. The driving notice was sent to the palace.
Both yellow paper cases and white paper cases will be criticized, but if there is a notice from the Ministry of Punishment, there will be no problem.
The first time these ten blank driving posts were used was because Wang Chonggu’s family was killed in the bombing, and Zhu Yijun bypassed the Ministry of Punishment for the first time. He believed that Tiqi would not target the target without purpose, since he dared to do it in front of the emperor. That means the Tiqi have found tangible evidence.
Zhang Juzheng silently watched all this happen, but did not stop it. Today someone dares to kill Wang Chonggu, and tomorrow someone will dare to kill him Zhang Juzheng. This kind of political violence requires violence to be met with violence. The process is simple and quick, the fastest Only the fastest time to detect and execute can the intimidation effect be achieved.
"Your Majesty, fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the capital, and all gunpowder is not allowed to enter the capital. I believe that the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Xiyuan, has unshirkable responsibility for oversight. He should be demoted three levels and receive meritorious service for his crime."
"Five The censor of the city patrol and the captain of the five-city army and horse department should also be fined for one year to see the consequences."
After Zhao Mengyou left, Zhang Juzheng began to pursue the responsibility, and he was the first to pursue the responsibility. The blame falls on Wang Xiyuan.
The last time Wang Xiyuan ran to the emperor and cried for his father and mother, saying that the Prime Minister of the capital was not easy to do, now here he comes, and if something happens, he will be given a slap on the head.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and agreed with Zhang Juzheng's accountability. Jiumen has a large flow of goods and extremely frequent trade. It is indeed difficult. Moreover, even if he no longer assassinates in the capital city, he can still do it outside the city. Yes, but accountability should indeed be held. If something is not done well, someone must bear the responsibility.
Wang Chonggu was absent from the court meeting. He was recuperating, and the chief medical officer was also at his house, so there would be no accidents.
Before the court meeting was over, Ti rode a horse to report that the house had been searched and found documentary evidence, physical evidence, and witness evidence. The evidence was overwhelming. The eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Zhaode, the concierge, and the concubine were responsible for communicating with Li Sanhu. Everyone was also detained by Tiqi and brought to justice.
"Allocate 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder from the arsenal and send it to the Xu family. I will blow up the Xu family to the sky!" After Zhu Yijun heard the report, he immediately stood up and ordered to Qi Jiguang to send 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder to the Xu family.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng stood up quickly, bowed his head and said.
"Sir, do you want to stop me?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.
"No, I want to watch the fun." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said. Zhang Juzheng is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He also has brothers, sons, and grandsons. He will not stop him, but will watch the fun.
"Go together, go together."
Zhu Yijun and his Tiqi rushed to Xitucheng in a hurry. With one thousand Tiqi, he ordered 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder from Wang Gongchang. The gunpowder was transported to the Xu family's residence in Xitucheng, and then the rapid layout began.
The Ming Dynasty used gunpowder to mine the Luotian Coal Mine in Shengzhou. How to blow up the Xu family into the sky was not technically a problem.
Zhu Yijun came to the door of the Xu family's house in Xitucheng without entering. Four small yellow gates moved the dragon chair over, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sat in front of the door with a golden sword, looking like a king. He is a bandit seeking revenge.
"Xu Zhaode, don't you always scold me for being violent?! I will show you how violent I am today, anyone who dares to kill me!" Zhu Yijun said sternly as he looked at Xu Zhaode who was pushed to the ground by Ti Qi.
"Wang Chonggu killed my father, why can't I kill him!" Xu Zhaode struggled twice and shouted angrily.
"Avenge your father? Are you really avenging your father? What is your intention in buying out the ticket to Suiyuan Chidao? Venting your personal anger and seeking huge profits is venting your anger and seeking profit. What's the point of avenging your father? It's the law of the country that killed your father ! It’s not Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Punishment!” Zhu Yijun sneered, this man is still talking stubbornly when he is about to die.
Daming Tiqi even found out exactly which concubine's room he spent the night in during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Xu Zhaode was definitely not simply avenging his father.
"Throw it in!" Zhu Yijun didn't bother to pay attention to him, so Tiqi was silenced, tied up with five flowers and thrown back to the Xu family's mansion, and followed the Xu family to heaven.
“Light the fire!” Zhu Yijun waved his hand and was about to take action.
"Wait a minute." A very urgent voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the person and saw that it was Wang Chonggu who came in a hurry after receiving the news and asked His Majesty to stop.
"Your Majesty, it cannot be exploded. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the death penalty should be punished three times. After thorough investigation and correction, it can be sentenced to death." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. It is so rash and objectionable. "It's a waste of life."
"Xu Zhaode admitted it himself!" Zhu Yijun pointed at Xu Zhaode who was thrown back and said, "Is this a waste of life? Ming Gong is here and Tiqi is here, everyone can testify." >
"Your Majesty, there are national laws to deal with him." Wang Chonggu pointed to the driving post in Zhao Mengyou's hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is not worth it for me."
The emperor wants to blow up the Xu family to the sky, that is Lynching, killing without following procedures is lynching. Emperor Cheng Zuwen did not follow procedures when he killed Xie Jin. Later, Tishuai Jigang, who killed Xie Jin, was also executed.
"Isn't it just a driving post? I will write one now, and I will play it three times now. Zhang Hong will take care of me with pen and ink." Zhu Yijun felt that Wang Chonggu was a bit stubborn. Since Wang Chonggu wanted to play it three times, then give it to him.
"Your Majesty." Wang Chonggu shook his sleeves and pretended to kneel down. He also wanted to admonish. Your Majesty is making nonsense. Wang Chonggu was talking about the strict laws of the country, and your Majesty was trampling on the laws of the Ming Dynasty. As a rule, Your Majesty, the framer, is supposed to uphold the rules.
"Okay, okay, don't kneel down." Zhu Yijun waved his hand helplessly and said: "I should have been faster and lit the fire before Cifu arrived. I know what Wang Cifu was going to say, justice. Not only must it be realized, but it must be realized in a way that everyone can see and recognize, that is justice.”
Of course Zhu Yijun knows what Wang Chonggu is talking about. Wang Chonggu has been nagging about this for many years in charge of the Ministry of Justice. , the emperor naturally understands.
"Pull out all the people, loot them all, and blow up the Xu family's mansion to the sky!" Zhu Yijun accepted Wang Chonggu's advice, but he only accepted half of it. The gunpowder had already been released from the warehouse, so there was no The reason for pulling him back is not to blow people up to the sky, but also to blow up the Xu family to the sky, and he will do what he says.
Xu Zhaode was right inside the door. He heard everything clearly, and he collapsed on the ground with an expression as if he had survived the disaster.
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Zhaode and said calmly: "Xu Zhaode, do you know what is the most painful thing for people? It is not the moment of death, but the process of waiting for death."
"I Personal experience tells you that waiting for death is the most terrifying thing.”
Zhu Yijun waited for death in the inflammation storm. At that time, he only hoped that death would come sooner.
