13. Hong Pilzhou was tortured intolerably
After a detailed investigation, there was no result, and Jin Zhichun couldn't help but feel angry. Reports were made to the hometown residences in various places, and there were no cases of kidnapping or extortion. Only a few places were attacked and robbed by Banqi's killer, but there were not too many.
big loss.
As for checking the big accounts of Jingshang, they found nothing. All the big leaders of Jingshang have been in the industry for many years. The accounts were so beautiful that there was no trace of flaw at all. They thought it was Jin Zuchun who wanted to
He was angry with the business groups who were in charge of public security in the grass market outside the city at that time, and immediately went to Jin Zuchun's house to pay his respects with tens of thousands of silver.
"Brother, I'm afraid the direction is wrong..." Jin Zhichun was busy outside. The scenery was beautiful, but he was also very tired.
"Well..." Even though Jin Zuchun was very resourceful, he made no progress for a while.
"I have sent people to carefully look at the accounts of the major business groups in Beijing. At the beginning of last winter, they underwrote the tribute rice of Xuanhui Hall and sold no less than 3.5 million yuan. The two roads that were affected by the disaster only had more than 3,000 taels.
Hundreds of people came to inquire with their tickets..."
Beijing merchants underwrote the tribute rice collected as taxes for the Li Dynasty, making Hanyang the number one grain market in the eight provinces. Last year, Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province were hit by disasters, and it was normal for wealthy merchants from rural counties to come to buy rice and grain.
Checking those hundreds of people one by one, it is true that there may not be any results in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse. Moreover, the implications will be too broad, and it may disturb the local area and shake people's hearts. This is something Jin Zuchun does not want to see.
"How was the interrogation by those people?"
"They also gained nothing. Even though they were severely punished, they all prayed to Heavenly Father and God for mercy and finally went to heaven."
Rarely, Jin Zuchun showed a hint of anger on his face. He was a person who kept his emotions and anger a secret. He had been fighting in the party for more than ten years, and he had already seen all kinds of tricks and darkness. But to directly flip the table and kill someone, he had already touched the bottom line.
.
You can play tricks and criticize each other, but everyone is still playing within certain rules. Now if you directly violate the rules and use a knife, then the game will no longer be played.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I will go to punish Cao personally!" Jin Zuchun recovered after a few days of recovery.
In the Xingcao Prison, Jiang Wanshu, Hong Bizhou, mother and son were dragged back to the house after being tortured again.
Hong Bizhou himself was still in his prime and could withstand the torture, but his old mother was already in her fifties and had obviously been tortured into shape.
A pair of calves were sore from being pinched by wooden boards, and the thighs were beaten with wooden slats and were stained with blood. As for the fingers, they were even pierced with bamboo sticks. It was a hot day, and maggots were visible to the naked eye falling from the hands to the ground.
Seeing his mother being tortured like this, Hong Bizhou was heartbroken and in pain.
They just believed in Christianity and did not participate in the planning to attack Liangban, nor did they attack Jin Zuchun. If they were guilty, they only helped a believer who fled to his home.
Although this believer was the murderer who assassinated and attacked Jin Zuchun, they did not know it at the time. Now they have paid the price for being tortured like this.
Hong Bizhou knelt on the ground and begged God, hoping that the Holy Father would show mercy and save his mother and son from suffering.
The prison door is open!
Jin Zuchun walked in and looked at their mother and son. He left all his followers and Xuan Yan outside the door. Only Jin Zuchun followed him into the house and closed the door gently.
"I am Jin Zuchun!"
Hong Bizhou was shocked by these simple but majestic words. Xuan Yan's shouting and questioning was nothing compared to this. This was a kind of aura naturally exuded by those who have been in power for a long time. For a commoner like Hong Bizhou, it was no different than
Straight to the heart.
"Little Hong Pil-joo, this is my mother Kang Wanshu." Hong Pil-joo answered involuntarily.
"Very good, I know that you two were not involved in the assassination. If you can reveal the location of the rebel leader Yu Jun, I will release you two!" Jin Zuchun fully knows what it means to catch the big and let the little go. These two are just
As an insignificant believer, if you can catch Yu Junze and destroy the entire church, it will be a big deal.
"The little one doesn't know where the great master is..."
Not to mention that Hong Bizhou didn't know, even his mother Jiang Wanshu didn't know where Yu Junze was. Except for Jin Changshi, probably no one in Hanyang knew where Yu Junze was hiding. After all, if Yu Junze made it known to the whole world,
You know, he was caught a long time ago.
"Yes, then what do you know?" Jin Zuchun actually knew it already.
"Is it true that the eunuch said he would release us?" Hong Bizhou had a fierce inner struggle.
There is a door!
Jin Zuchun was happy in his heart, but he did not show it at all, but continued to maintain his dignity.
"I am the prime minister of the country, so I can still deceive you!"
"That little one knew that the great master had sent people to lurk in Hanyang." Hong Bizhou finally confessed.
"Whose name is it? Where is it lurking?" Jin Zhichun was not as excited as his elder brother.
"This man's name is Jin Changshi. He once lived in Xiao's home for a while, but later moved out. Not long ago, he gave Xiao 700 taels to redeem, and told him to buy cattle."
"Where do I order you to deliver the cow?"
"Cao Shi Ferry outside the South Gate."
"What does this person look like?" Jin Zhichun asked quickly.
Hong Bizhou also explained everything clearly and told some of the situations he probably knew.
"I still know one thing, but..." Hong Bizhou felt a sense of relief for some reason.
"As long as you explain clearly, I will reward you five hundred taels immediately, and then you mother and son can immediately escape Hanyang and hide your names!" Jin Zuchun knew what he meant.
"When Jinchang came to Beijing in the early spring, he asked me carefully about the residences of all the eunuchs."
"He is indeed a thief!"
He signaled Jin Zhichun not to interrupt Hong Pil-joo's narration. Jin Zuchun knew that Hong Pil-joo had not finished his confession.
"Once, he ordered the young man to take him to Dian Cave!"
Diandong is where Jin Zuchun's family is located, which is really big news. It seems that they have been planning to assassinate Jin Zuchun for a long time. They not only lurked in Hanyang, but even visited Jin Zuchun's house in advance. But in the end they chose to guard the opposite side of the government
It is not surprising that the weak people take action outside the city.
"Did you take him to my home?"
"He only ordered me to wait in the alley, but he didn't ask me to take him to the chief eunuch's house." Hong Bizhou gave a negative answer.
Huh? This makes Jin Zuchun and Jin Zhichun a little confused. Since they want to kill Jin Zuchun, why do they leave the guide who is familiar with geography and explore an unfamiliar place by themselves? If they were arrested accidentally, wouldn't it be a big joke?
"Then do you know where he went?"
"I can't see clearly in the night, so I don't know. It's just..."
"Just nothing!"
