Chapter 37 Five Poisons
Duan Xi, who murdered Yingye, was captured like this.
When they saw their master, they captured him, and the twenty bearers threw down their chariots and fled in all directions. Duan Xi's guests dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
As for the Qiang and Hu Yi Cong, their faces were full of grief and anger and they wanted to resist, but their hearts were divided and they were tied to the chariot one after another.
Some of them are still struggling, and they have to cut the Yangqiu.
Yang Qiu casually swung his sword and knocked away the weapons of these people. Just as those people were about to run away, they were dragged away by the followers who came up to them.
snort!
If it weren't for the fact that this was outside the palace gate and no blood could be seen, Yang Qiu would have ordered the killing of these ugly men on the spot.
At this time, the soldiers from Sili Xiaowei's Mansion came with five hundred officials and disciples from Zhongdu.
Yang Qiu got out of the palace first and asked his followers to hold their own talismans and go to Sili Xiaowei's mansion to call for troops. And he himself blocked Duan Xi at the palace gate, waiting for support.
But he didn't expect that Duan Xi, who was old and comatose, went so dark that he hid his troops under the chariot and sought death.
There's no need to accuse him of all kinds of crimes.
At this moment, Bing Cao came over with a gold lacquered copper rod.
This soldier was a man from Yin'an in Wei County whom he conquered. He was a student of Shaofu Chen Qiu when he was the prefect of Wei County.
Last year, when Chen Shaofu was promoted to Taiwei, he recruited his student as a subordinate official. Later, because the eunuch took advantage of the solar eclipse to cause Chen Qiu to be deposed, the judge had to live in Kyoto.
Until he was promoted to the rank of Sili Xiaowei, he had to set up his own office and recruit twelve people to work. He had always understood Shen Pei as a man who was strong-willed and upright. He was born into a wealthy family in Hebei and had good military skills.
He is from Hebei, and his personality is similar to his. How could Yang Qiu not like to judge matches, so he was the first to enlist him as a military officer and take charge of the military affairs of the government.
Shen Pei handed the gold lacquered copper stick to Yang Qiu, and Yang Qiu swung the stick in high spirits, because the stick he held was called Jinwu, and it could beat anyone who committed crimes.
Yang Qiu asked his retinue to escort Duan Taiwei and others to the imperial edict. He took Shen Pei and five hundred Zhongdu officials and disciples to kill Wang Fu's residence outside the palace.
These eunuchs were supposed to live in the forbidden area and follow the emperor. But they also built mansions outside the palace one after another in order to keep beautiful concubines and enjoy the wealth in the world.
Great eunuchs such as Wang Fu, Cao Jie, and Zhang Rang accepted offerings from various places and competed with each other. Each of their mansions was built higher than the last, which was already illegal.
In order to enjoy wealth and wealth, these people even dare to deceive the emperor.
One day, when the country had nothing to do, he suddenly boarded the Yong'an Marquis Tower in the palace.
This platform is the highest in the palace, and you can overlook the entire palace and many scenery in Kyoto.
But when he was halfway up the country, he was stopped by Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang said: "It is not suitable for the emperor to climb high. If you climb high, the people will be scattered!"
This is a prophecy recorded in "Spring and Autumn Qian Tan Ba", which means that the emperor cannot climb to high places, otherwise the people will be displaced.
Since Guangwu, all the emperors of this dynasty have been in awe of Chenwei, and Liu Hong is no exception.
Once he heard this prophecy, Liu Hong never climbed high again.
Naturally, Liu Hong could not discover that there was a palace outside his palace, which belonged to his servants.
Yang Qiu and his men swarmed in a dark mass on the upper east doorway. The guards in front waved their whips to clear the way, and the left and right shouted:
"Sili Xiaowei's office is doing business, and the idle people should stay out of the way."
When the nearby taverns and restaurants on the street saw these officials and disciples of the Sili Xiaowei Mansion holding sticks and throwing chains, they locked their doors and did not dare to look at them.
These Guizhou people who were born in Kyoto may not have much wealth, but they have good experience.
Over the years, none of them had seen the strife and fighting among the powerful people in Kyoto.
Now that Yang Qiu has become Sili Xiaowei, he has to learn from his predecessors.
Alas, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable.
If you want to say who this senior is, it is Li Ying and Li Yuanli who are known as the models in the world.
At that time, he was also a Sili school captain. At that time, Zhang Rang's younger brother Shuo was appointed as a wild king. He was greedy and immoral, so he fled in fear and hid in Zhang Rang's home and in a secret room.
Later, Li Ying got the information and personally led his officials to break down the door, seize the person, and throw him into prison to kill him.
How majestic!
But what happens next? Li Ying was killed by Wang Fu and Zhang Rang.
Fighting with eunuchs will never end well. They in Kyoto and Guizhou understand the truth, but why don't these nobles understand?
Yang Qiu didn't know the inner slander of these Kyoto leaders, he just felt like his whole body was burning.
If we take away that old leather and then this old temple, the world will definitely be wiped out.
When the time comes, when those ministers are as powerful as the sons of the Yuan family, and if they are assigned to be arrested by their subordinates, the atmosphere in Kyoto will inevitably be purged.
If you can do this for the world, why not regret dying!
Soon, Yang Qiu took Shen Pei and others to Wang Fu's mansion outside the palace.
What a mansion this is! Even better than a prince!
It has a radius of ten miles, with houses and caves, brass as pillars, and piles of earth as mountains. From outside the house, they could all see the several-foot-high platform inside, hear the gurgling water, and perform the music while singing the bells and blowing the pipes.
Yang Qiu and Shen Pei are not ordinary people from humble families.
One of them is from the Yuyang family, and the other is from the Weijun family. They don’t talk about bells and cauldrons, but they also feel that prosperity in the world is just like that, so they strive to pursue the truth and regard wealth as dung.
But the size of Wang Fu's mansion still frightened them.
As far as Shen Pei is concerned, he is still living in Kyoto. As the saying goes, living in Kyoto is not easy.
And how much money did Wang Fu have to spend to build a house with a radius of ten miles at the foot of Yong'an Palace in Kyoto.
It's really greedy and slippery.
Yang Qiu pursed his lips, calmed down, and asked Shen Pei to speak. The big man from Hebei Province, Shen Pei, raised his voice and shouted towards the gate of Wang's house:
"Wang Fu didn't open the door to accept the national edict!"
In fact, Wang Fu on the high platform already knew about it when Yang Qiu came over with the Sili school lieutenant and his disciples.
At this time, he was old and frail, and no longer as majestic as he had been when he fought with General Dou Wu in battle.
The country took pity on him and let him rest at home. And after this break, he was never called back again.
Wang Fu knew that his holy family was declining, so he simply hid in his small garden and spent the rest of his life talking. But who would have thought that he would be implicated by his own guests after all.
Ever since he learned that the guest had embezzled 70 million of the country's money behind his back and was captured by Jing Zhaoyin Yang Biao, he had been uneasy and always worried that Yang Biao would bring someone in.
These days, he has been praying to the country that for the sake of eradicating the evil caused by Dou Wu and Chen Fan and protecting the country, it would allow him to spend his old age in peace.
But who knows, Yang Biao didn't come, but Sili Colonel Yang Qiu did.
But this can be considered good news. Compared to Yang Biao, Yang Qiu is one of his own and can suffer less. If the time comes, he will spend some money to clear things up with Lao Cao and ask the country again. Maybe this matter will be over. .
After thinking about it, he took his two godsons, changed into white clothes, ordered people to open the middle door, and surrendered.
Yang Qiu didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, but after Shen Pei yelled, the man surnamed Wang surrendered with his family in white clothes.
Sure enough, these geldings have no eggs and lose their virility. If they are frightened, they will surrender and be captured. It seems that Cao Jie and others have nothing to worry about.
Yang Qiu asked people to call Cao Cao and his assistants. He first sealed off the king's house, then carefully checked the family property and made a book together.
He did not forget what the country wanted.
Then he took the three "father and son" of the Wang family and threw them into prison.
This Luoyang prison can be said to have a vicious reputation.
Since the great case of the King of Chu during the Ming Dynasty, thousands of high-ranking officials died here. To the recent two catastrophes caused by the party's imprisonment, countless famous scholars at home and abroad have failed to live up to their temporary expectations and have been thrown into this imperial prison.
When the Yang Qiu Department sent the Wang family and his son to prison, Duan Xi was already lying in the cell with the old god present.
The horrific scenes in prison were as common as drinking water for this warrior who had spent his entire life in the military.
Yang Qiu didn't care about Duan Xi. Sooner or later, this old man would be punished. Now he had to deal with this eunuch Wang.
When the Wang family, father and son, were sent to the interrogation room, Wang Fu was trembling and speechless looking at these whip sticks and braziers.
It was his godson Wang Meng who said in a straight voice:
"Brother Fangzheng, did you make a mistake? It shouldn't be like this."
Yang Qiu under the firelight smiled sinisterly, especially terrifying:
"Whatever is right or wrong, no matter who it is, when you come here, you have to go through the five poisons of our prison before asking what is right or wrong.
However, don't be in a hurry. Let's take your father's turn first, and take your turn later. It's for the sake of our colleagues. ”
Wang Meng and he were colleagues at the same time, they were really colleagues.
After saying that, Yang Qiu looked at his subordinates and ordered them to take action.
Several shirtless majestic swordsmen and penmen caught Wang Fu and put him on the torture rack. Then a black man with a thin whip in his hand passed the whip through salt water and then swung it towards Wang Fu.
Poor Wang Fu is an old man, he usually has fine clothes and fine food, but he has never suffered such a crime, and he suddenly let out a pig's cry.
But it was not over yet. As soon as the whipping was over here, someone started beating him with a stick over there. Behind him came the fire brand and the stick. It only made the old man lose his breath.
But a bucket of water came and the old man woke up again. Wang Fu's muscles trembled all over and he shrank back, looking at Yang Qiu with begging eyes.
Wang Fu's godson Wang Ji was so frightened that he had diarrhea. This violent man who killed tens of thousands of people in Pei State was so frightened that he had diarrhea due to the punishment of these five poisons.
Wang Meng ignored his useless younger brother, and half of the reason why his family was in trouble was because of him.
He knelt down, hugging Yang Qiu’s thigh, and begged:
"Fang Zheng, even if my father and son have committed a capital crime and deserve to be killed, please forgive our colleagues and forgive my old father and don't let him suffer such torture."
Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu kicked Wang Meng away and spat at him:
"Okay, the three of you and your son have killed so many people. Now that you have reached this point, you should be decent."
Wang Meng didn't expect Yang Qiu to be so decisive. Has he forgotten who is responsible for his smooth career?
He immediately cursed:
"Son, have you forgotten how you used to fawn over our father and son like dogs? If my father hadn't acted as a matchmaker for you, would you have been able to marry Cheng Huang's daughter?
It's not because you are the son-in-law of our eunuch. When you were the order of Gaotang, you were arrested by your commander Zhou Chong and you died.
Don't think that if you take refuge in those clear streams, you will be truly clean. You are taking advantage of others' danger now and repaying kindness with hatred. I will see what your fate will be tomorrow. ”
Yang Qiu squinted his eyes and let Wang Meng yell. Seeing him finish, he leisurely said:
"Have you finished speaking? Do you have anything else to say? If you have nothing to say, then there is no point in using your mouth. Whoever comes, choke his mouth with earth and kill him."
"Here!"
The swordsmen and penmen who were waiting on the side were at a loss when they heard the breaking news. When they heard the orders from their superiors, they immediately used their full strength.
One stuffed dirt into Wang Meng's mouth, and the other two hit her with sticks. Blood flowed from the corner of Wang Meng's mouth and her head tilted.
Wang Meng jumped to death.
Over there, Wang Ji was already huddled in the corner. When he saw Yang Qiu holding Bai forward, he wailed:
"Don't come over here. I have money. I have a lot of money. I'll give it to you. I don't want to die!"
Yang Qiu looked at the coward and said softly:
"I told you, if I serve as a secretary, you, Cao An, will be alive!" After saying that, he picked up his white collar and smashed it against Wang Ji's Tianling Cap.
Wang Ji, beat him to death.
Seeing his two godsons die in front of him, no matter how ruthless Wang Fu was, he still shed tears. But it was no use. Then, bags of sacks filled with soil were piled on top of him, and he was buried in the blink of an eye.
Wang Fu, kill him.
