Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 4 strangling treacherous ministers and torturing pay

The tree with a crooked neck, what did the emperor say about it?

All the ministers couldn't figure it out in the fog, and looked at the crooked neck tree for a few times, seeing nothing unusual, they continued to kneel still.

Li Cunming continued to speak on his own, his tone was a little emotional and a bit vicissitudes:

"This tree grows in Meishan, and has witnessed the ups and downs of our Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. It has seen the glory of Ming Dynasty and its decline. The tree is like this, how can people be embarrassed!"

"Now there are thieves inside my Ming Dynasty, and Tartars outside. The wind and rain are shaking and the mountains and rivers are broken. What face do I have to see my ancestors under the nine springs, and what face do you have to live in the world?"

"Forget it, let us monarchs and ministers simply smash the pots and smash them, and hang ourselves on Meishan together!"

After saying that, they clapped their hands, and several eunuchs came out holding many white silks.

The ministers panicked, kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way, the situation is not out of control yet, please cheer up, Your Majesty, there is still a chance to turn around!"

"Why, I am not afraid of death, are you afraid of death?"

Li Cunming finally turned around and said nonchalantly: "I also want to cheer up, but the treasury is empty, and there are only two thousand taels of internal funds left. I want to transfer Guan Ning's iron cavalry into the customs but can't get the money. What is it?" good?"

When it comes to money, officials can pretend to be deaf and dumb, and keep silent.

"As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, when the country is in crisis, shouldn't you donate some silver taels?" Li Cunming asked.

It turned out that this was done to raise money, and the emperor took great pains!
The ministers secretly exchanged glances, life cannot be lost, and money cannot be donated too much, let's fool around.

The old cunning Chen Yan took the lead and said: "I have always been poor, and my family has little savings. But for the sake of public loyalty to the country, I am willing to donate 500 taels of silver, just to show my heart!"

"I am willing to donate 300 taels. This is the money I planned to buy a coffin for my old father, but for the sake of the emperor, I will not hesitate!" Wei Zaode's voice was loud.

"I am a relative of the emperor, so I should share your majesty's worries. I am willing to donate 1000 taels of silver!" said the head of the state, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, thinking that he had given generously.

"The minister donated 100 taels!"

"The minister donated 200 taels!"

……

Li Cunming rolled his eyes, feeling sick for a while.

Act, you continue to act!

In history, these ministers who were crying for poverty, when the Dashun army entered the capital, were tortured by Liu Zongmin and spit out a total of more than 7000 million taels of silver.

Not to mention others, Zhou Kui's house alone found 52 taels of silver, and Chen Yan also spit out more than 4 taels.

Li Cunming felt the helplessness and suffering of Emperor Chongzhen, and he hated him even more: "Think about it again, do you have money or not?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't have any money. If the Emperor keeps forcing me, I will have to pawn the furniture..."

A cold light flashed in Li Cunming's eyes, and he waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I gave you a chance, don't blame me for being ruthless later. Come, bring the disorderly ministers and thieves up!"

Moments later, Gong Yonggu led Jin Yiwei and escorted Zhang Jinyan and others under the crooked neck tree.

"These unscrupulous pigs and dogs yesterday even instigated the mutiny of the soldiers of the Beijing camp to force the palace to threaten me to issue an edict to abdicate. They also secretly joined forces with Wu Sangui and his son to dedicate Shanhaiguan and Guanning iron cavalry to Li Zicheng. I was defeated Their conspiracy, hang them all now. Come on, start with Zhang Jinyan!"

After Li Cunming gave the order, he walked to a chair that had been prepared, and sat down after a while.

Long ago, Jin Yiwei took a white silk, hung it on a tree with a crooked neck, tied it in a knot, and then dragged Zhang Jinyan over like a dead dog.

Several people lifted Zhang Jinyan up and let him go.

"Ding, get Zhang Jinyan's negative emotion value of 5000"

Zhang Jinyan kicked his legs, his body trembled wildly, and gradually stuck out his tongue, and the movement became quieter.

When he was about to die, Li Cunming waved his hand, and Jin Yiwei quickly put him down and pinched Renzhong to revive him.

"Zhang Jinyan, who do you think is coming?" Li Cunming said.

Gong Yonggu slapped his hands, and three people were pushed out of the crowd by Jin Yiwei. They were Zhang Jinyan's wife, a son and a daughter.

When Zhang Jinyan saw his family, he immediately became excited, panting and shouting: "Chongzhen, you... what are you doing?"

"I said, it will make your death extremely painful!" Li Cunming said.

As soon as the words fell, Gong Yonggu pulled out the Xiuchun knife and stabbed Zhang Jinyan's son to death.

"Ah!" Zhang Jinyan screamed.

Before he could finish shouting, he was held up by Jin Yiwei and hanged himself.When he was about to die, he was released again.

"Ding, get Zhang Jinyan's negative emotion value of 6000"

After repeating this three times, Zhang Jinyan fought hard, watched his family members die one by one in front of him, completely collapsed, and finally died in great fear and pain.

Li Cunming kept his composure and was secretly refreshed. He had gained a total of 20000 negative emotion points from Zhang Jinyan.

The rest of the people did the same.

If you use this method to deal with disorderly officials and thieves, it will be reused as waste!
The ministers present were so frightened that they were already sweating profusely from fright, and some even fainted.

In the end it was Cao Huachun's turn, but Li Cunming didn't hang him, and ordered Wang Cheng'en: "Take this dog slave back and put him under custody, and I will deal with it separately."

After dealing with the coercion case, Li Cunming took out a document from his sleeve, raised it in his hand and said:
"This is the surrender form found in Zhang Jinyan's study. Before Li Zicheng arrived in the capital, my ministers jointly wrote the surrender letter and the persuasion form, and signed their names on them."

"Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, Zhou Kui...do you know the crime?"

Li Cunming threw the document out and hit Chen Yan on the head.

"I... I am guilty!"

The officials who signed the signature were out of their wits, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't want it."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 1 taels of silver!"

"The minister donated 2 taels!"

"The minister donated 3 taels!"

Li Cunming stood up abruptly, and slapped the back of the chair with his palm, causing the chair to shatter into pieces.

He roared: "When I saw the coffin, I knew I was crying, and when my nose flowed into my mouth, I knew it was too late! I want both your money and your life!"

"Come here, hang them all according to the list, and then ransack their homes!"

Zhou Kui crawled up to Li Cunming anxiously, hugged his legs and cried, "Your Majesty, I am the queen's father, your father-in-law..."

"Because you are a relative of the emperor, you should be even more damned! Back then, you were just a fortune teller on Qianmen Street. Without me, where did you get the glory and wealth? How much money have you made in these years, but you want to be a miser? I don't have you." Such a father-in-law!" Li Cunming kicked Zhou Kui over.

After scolding, Li Cunming got tired and decided to go back to the palace.

Before leaving, he ordered Gong Yonggu to say: "No one on the list will be spared, and other officials, big and small, will pay silver taels according to their grades. I will see the money tonight."

When going down the mountain, the system prompts and sounds continuously:
"Ding, get Chen Yan's negative emotion value of 4000"

"Ding, get Wei Zaode's negative emotion value of 4000"

"Ding, get Zhou Kui's negative emotion value 6000"

……

Li Cunming was in a good mood. He killed the treacherous minister and got angry. He not only got a lot of money, but also earned a lot of emotional points.

This wave has made a lot of money!

Looking up, he saw a red sun rising slowly, just like the hope rising in his heart.
