My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 224 The truth revealed

  Ji Gang looked unbelievable.

   He couldn't understand.

   Then, he looked up at Zhu Di.

   Zhu Di still looked at him coldly.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Dudu Ji, do you... still want to meet other family members?"

  Ji Gang's expression was extremely ugly. In fact, when he saw Ji Wenlong, he already knew that everything was over.

  He raised his head, stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Why, why is this?"

  He is not reconciled, and still resentful, especially in those eyes, which are full of resentment.

   He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said again: "Why... came to this situation."

"This should be asked of you, not me." Zhang Anshi said: "You should know, today is my bridal chamber wedding night, this wedding wedding night, I am not with my wife, but with you Isn't it also thanks to you, Ji Gang?"

  Ji Gang's face was filled with pain. He shook his head, still in disbelief, and said in a daze, "But...but...things shouldn't have come to this point."

  Zhang Anshidao: "It's only because you are clever but you were mistaken by your cleverness."

  Ji Gang first widened his eyes, then closed them, and sighed. He seemed to be slowly accepting the reality in front of him, and his mood seemed to calm down a little.

  At this time, he looked at Zhang Anshi seriously and said, "How did you notice...?"

  Zhang Anshi said indifferently: "It's because of Dudu Ji yourself."

  Ji Gang raised his eyes, frowned and said, "Myself?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "Why did Governor Ji fall to where he is today?"

  Zhu Di sat quietly by the side, listening coldly.

  At this time, Zhu Di also had many questions in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, because he knew that the truth was about to be revealed.

   Ji Gang finally found a trace of excited reaction, and raised his voice: "Are you trying to say that I am wishful thinking?"

  Zhang Anshi shook his head lightly and said: "No, everyone has ambitions. In this world, even I, Zhang Anshi, why don't I wish that I have more money and more authority?"

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.

   This guy admitted himself, so he stopped calling himself.

I saw Zhang Anshi then continued: "This is human nature. Dudu Ji's ambition is greater than others. In fact... there is nothing wrong with it. I also saw farmers in the fields, dreaming of becoming emperor in the palace, and let the mother give him the boss. What about cakes. What's more, you are Dudu Ji? Although Dudu Ji is not an extremely personable minister, he is in charge of Jinyiwei, and his power is so powerful."

   Ji Gang gritted his teeth and said, "That's why...why did I come to this point."

Zhang Anshi stared at Ji Gang and said: "Because in this world, Dudu Ji, you have never trusted anyone. The person you can trust is always yourself. This is your biggest flaw. Because of this flaw, so That gave me a chance."

  Ji Gang listened, but his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Zhang Anshi continued calmly: "We all have selfish desires in this world, but... people still have true feelings when they live in this world, just like His Royal Highness raised me and regarded me as a close relative of flesh and blood. I want to be kind to my brother-in-law. And like Your Majesty, you have shown me the kindness of knowing you, so I thought, show off your skills in front of him."

   "There are also a few of my sworn brothers, they are not smart enough, I always give them advice, lest they be fooled by others."

  Zhang An Shidao: "So, people have their own selfishness, but people live in the world, but they will always have close relatives, friends, people worthy of entrustment, and people they can trust."

   Ji Gang smiled contemptuously, dismissing it.

Zhang Anshidao: "This is why you have fallen into the end you are today. You have never trusted anyone, and you think that everything you did back then was achieved by yourself. Therefore, after you became the commander of Jinyiwei, you Not only was he not satisfied, but he felt a great sense of crisis, he thought that His Majesty was not trustworthy, and that sooner or later, he would die as a cunning rabbit and be cooked by a lackey, so you made every effort to prepare everywhere."

"In Jinyiwei, you buy people's hearts, and externally, you win over a large number of desperadoes. You destroy your family and amass countless wealth, in order... that one day, when His Majesty despises you, you will have the power to fight back .Actually...it is precisely because of this that these things of yours will be revealed sooner or later, and after the incidents are revealed, His Majesty will be forced to take action against you."

   "It can be seen that today's fruit is actually due to the cause planted in the past. The more you feel a sense of crisis, the crisis will follow."

   Ji Gang snorted coldly, and glanced at Zhu Di, who was still sitting upright with no expression on his face.

  Ji Gang took a deep breath and said, "Even so, so what, what does this have to do with me today?"

   "A person with a sense of crisis will definitely try his best to leave a way out for himself! This is why, after you were imprisoned, you found that your family had already fled away with your wealth."

  Zhang Anshi smiled, and continued: "Do you still remember that scribe? That clerk is actually not your retreat at all, is it?"

  Ji Gang looked at Zhang Anshi angrily: "Have you noticed this yet?"

"Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "Because of your retreat, there is no reason at all. It is true that you asked the clerk to contact the Wuliangha tribe, and it is also true that you contacted the Tatar tribe after colluding with the Wuliangha tribe. It's a pity...Although this is true, that scribe is actually your abandoned child. Smoke bomb, have you heard of it? There is a kind of gunpowder that can emit smoke to confuse the enemy. This scribe is actually That's what smoke bombs do."

  Ji Gang's body trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were still unwilling.

  Zhu Di couldn't help saying at this time: "Why do you think this is... a smoke bomb?"

Zhang Anshidao: "It's very simple, there is a huge flaw here, that is... a person who never believes in others, and only believes in the evil of human nature, even the emperor he is loyal to. People, how dare you send your wealth and life to the Wuliangha tribe?"

  Zhu Di understood instantly when he heard it.

   No wonder Zhang Anshi kept talking about Ji Gang's biggest weakness just now.

Yup.

  In Ji Gang's so-called plan, he was to contact the Wuliangha tribe, and move all his wealth and clan members to Monan.

   This plan is feasible on the surface, and the Tatars and Ulianghas can use each other with Ji Gang's relatives.

  But after careful consideration, he found something was wrong, because...why did Ji Gang think that Wuliangha people would not turn against each other? And why do you think... that wealth will not make those desperadoes who escorted his family not produce coveted people?

   This is just a literal perfect plan. It seems that everyone will follow Ji Gang's plan, but in fact... there are many loopholes.

  Of course, if you are an ordinary person, you may have to take a gamble when you are in a desperate situation.

  Who is Ke Jigang? From the very beginning, Ji Gang may not even believe his old brothers who have been with him for many years. Even when he is in a desperate situation, it is impossible for him to do something like a sheep.

Zhang Anshi smiled, then looked at Zhu Di and said, "The most pitiful thing is that clerk. This clerk is indeed Ji Gang's confidant. He thought he was working for Ji Gang, and went to the desert. The Tatars mediate, in fact... the Tatars and the Uliangha people will soon find out that there is no shadow of what the scribe promised on behalf of Ji Gang. Your Majesty... Guess what, that poor scribe, What will happen next?"

  Zhu Di couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, even he couldn't help feeling vicious at this moment.

  The person who can take this risk for Ji Gang to do things is absolutely impossible to be as simple as coveting a little reward and wealth. This must be Ji Gang's confidant, and this scribe must have great trust in Ji Gang.

  But I was afraid of this person, no matter what, I never thought that from the very beginning, he was Ji Gang's abandoned son.

  When he went to the desert, it was actually a dead end.

  The enraged Tatars and Uryanhas will definitely use the cruelest means to deal with those who deceived them.

  Zhu Di said angrily: "For a person like you, there are still people in the world who are completely devoted to you."

   Zhu Di said this to Ji Gang.

  Ji Gang disapprovingly said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small details."

  Zhu Di looked at him with mockery in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Then have you become a big deal?"

   Ji Gang: "..."

   Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Since the scribe is a smoke bomb, he must have a purpose. Because of this, I have been racking my brains to think about what his real purpose is."

   "Finally... the minister figured it out."

"This kind of person who never trusts others, all he can rely on is himself. In fact, from the very beginning, he knew that the action of absconding to the desert would not work at all. And the time is already very short. So at this time, Ji Gang Had to gamble."

  Zhu Di couldn't help but said enthusiastically: "What are you betting on?"

"He transferred his relatives away first, and he stayed in the capital. He knew that he would definitely go to prison. He also knew that as long as his wealth was still there, His Majesty would definitely save his life. Therefore, the first thing he calculated It's His Majesty... who is reluctant to part with that fortune."

  Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm not stingy, it's just these, after all, they are the fat of the people."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty's love for the people is well known. I admire you so much."

  Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Let's talk about the key points."

Zhang Anshi nodded hurriedly and said: "For him, as long as he doesn't die, he still has a chance. What he gambled on is that Neiqianhu can catch the clerk's line, and I, Daming, firmly believe that the Tatar and Wuliang Habu, soon, will cooperate with his party in the customs and attack our Ming Dynasty. He knows that His Majesty has long wanted to fight the Tatars, and His Majesty will never let go of this opportunity."

  Zhu Di couldn't help saying: "This person... really understands me."

Zhang Anshidao: "He also firmly believes that once His Majesty personally conquests, within the capital, the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and even the Model Battalion, I, the Ming Dynasty, will use my best talents. Take the soldiers who have conquered the country and go north, and we must go all out."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "In this way, the capital will be empty."

Zhang Anshidao: "Yes, these days, isn't the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion being mobilized on a large scale? He even knows that when the time comes, it is very likely that the ministers will also join the army. He knows His Royal Highness I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely let the minister get married before he joins the army. And this wedding will definitely attract the attention of the whole capital, and all the military officials in the Jinyiwei will probably obediently go to the Zhang family to celebrate."

   "So, when the time comes, the capital will be empty, and Qixia will also be empty."

  Zhu Di laughed: "Well... makes sense."

  Zhang Anshi continued: "At this time, if his family contacts those desperadoes to act, Your Majesty...would it be much smoother? He only needs to buy a few people from the prison as internal support, and he can escape immediately."

  Ji Gang's face became more and more gloomy. What Zhang Anshi said was almost exactly the same as his idea.

  At this moment, he only felt that the pain was extreme, and he lost all games... all games were lost.

  Zhang Anshi said at this time: "It's just... there is one more problem."

  Zhu Di raised his eyes and said, "What's the problem?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "That is, how can a person get out after being rescued? Also, since Ji Gang's relatives have not gone to the desert, where should they hide? The safest place?"

Immediately, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "It's the Oala tribe. The Oara tribe is the weakest in the desert, and it's not the blood of the Jin family. Although it is fighting against the Tatar tribe, it has been suppressed in fact. As far as the Ministry is concerned, Ji Gang took his wealth to the Tatar Ministry, which is called icing on the cake, but when he went to Oala, it became a timely gift. Moreover, he created the Ming Dynasty’s conquest plan against the Tatar Ministry, which was originally against the Oala Ministry. It is beneficial to let them sit back and watch the two tigers fight."

   "Of course, the most important thing is that because Oala is weak, His Majesty intends to use the Oirat tribe to check and balance the Tatar tribe. Every time the Oala tribe's envoys are treated with courtesy, the rewards given are also the most generous."

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "The envoys of the Wara Department are large in scale, and some Ji family members are mixed in. The Honglu Temple will definitely not attract attention. The Honglu Temple...up and down...are only responsible for taking good care of it. Envoys, they won't pay attention to other things, and they won't care."

"And as long as Ji Gang is rescued, it will be easy for Ji Gang to infiltrate into the envoys of the Wara Department and leave the desert. The officers and soldiers along the way will definitely not conduct interrogation. I am afraid that the whole world will never imagine that I am everywhere. The captured prisoners were among the Oala missions."

   Zhu Di was taken aback after hearing this: "How do you know?"

"This is the crux of the problem." Zhang Anshi said with a chuckle: "Since I know...Ji Gang won't trust anyone, and colluding with the Tatar Ministry is just a cover-up, and someone will definitely come to rob the prison, so the thing to do is very simple Now, just pay attention to the situation on the imperial prison side, because if the other party wants to rob the prison, they will definitely try their best to bribe Captain Neiqianhu who guards the imperial prison."

  Zhu Di subconsciously nodded.

Zhang Anshi said again: "It is said that flies don't bite seamless eggs, but Your Majesty, where is there an egg without seams in this world? Even if there are no seams, someone will try to knock out the seams. Your Majesty knows this, and I know myself. There are also many weaknesses in human nature, so we have always taken precautions against them.”

"As early as when Neiqianhu was established, I specially found a few loyal people, arranged everything for them, and took care of their families, so that they would not have any serious business in Neiqianhu. Do, only do one thing... that is to take money, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. This is also to prevent it from happening! This Neiqianhusuo is of great importance, and there must be criminals who want to attack the lieutenants of the Neiqianhusuo. They tried their best to lure those honest and honest people into the water, it would be better...the minister prepared a few 'black sheep' from Neiqianhusuo for them."

"This approach has two advantages. One is to prevent other lieutenants from being corrupted by these gangsters. Second, if there are gangsters, they will definitely find these 'black apples'. Then what will happen next, It can also be within the grasp of the minister. Sure enough... this arrangement has a miraculous effect."

"This brings us back to the original question. If Ji Gang's party members want to rob the prison, they must have internal support. They will select a few targets. These people must be unsuccessful in the inner thousand households and have been infected with bad habits. When they When taking advantage of the trend to buy these people, the minister immediately found out, so he immediately ordered people to secretly follow the clues of the briber, and finally... they found the Oala envoy's head. "

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di sometimes wonders what Zhang Anshi is thinking, this guy simply has his defense skills to the extreme.

  Wear double armor when going out.

   This big prison is also designed like a maze, and the height of the walls is more than double that of the Imperial Prison.

  Wherever this guy walks, he is followed by guards on the third inner floor and outer third floor.

  Even this inner house is full of countless traps!

  Who would have thought that the people in this thousand households who have always been eating, drinking and whoring, doing all kinds of evil... are also **** traps?

   Could it be that a person who is afraid of death to the extreme can be invincible in the world?

Zhang Anshi looked at the way Zhu Di looked at him, and seemed to understand the meaning in the eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed unnaturally, and then said: "This is mainly to catch the rebels, Your Majesty, the rebels are everywhere. , insidious and cunning, all of them are like Ji Gang, extremely vicious. I have really painstakingly fought against them, exhausting all my energy..."

  Zhu Di pressed his hands and said: "Okay, no need to explain, I know you have worked hard."

   Then, the eyes of the monarch and his ministers fell on Ji Gang again.

  Ji Gang didn’t hear this, it’s a good thing. Hearing this now, he didn’t expect that the trick he had arranged so ingeniously would be cracked by such a simple method.

   And now…

  He was clearly aware of his ending, and now he looked bitterly at Ji Wenlong, who was prostrate on the ground and trembling.

"Son…"

   "Father..." Ji Wenlong howled, shaking with fear.

  Ji Gang asked softly: "Is there anyone who escaped?"

  Ji Wenlong shook his head, weeping and authentically said: "Not one, they came too fast, it's too late to leave."

"Hey…"

  Ji Gang sighed, tears streaming down his face for a moment, and said quietly: "I never imagined that I was smart all my life, but I was confused at this moment. I calculated people's hearts all my life, but now I am calculated by others."

  Ji Wenlong looked straight at Ji Gang with eyes full of fear and said, "Father... find a way, save me!"

  Ji Gang laughed until tears flowed, and then said: "Save you? Even if the Daluo Jinxian comes now, he can't save you. You can go on the road with peace of mind, don't worry...Father will make you die."

  Ji Wenlong became excited and shouted: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

  He let out a miserable wail.

  Ji Gang closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

   "Your Majesty... For the sake of the past, please Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang with a gloomy look: "If you were me, what would happen?"

  Ji Gang didn't seem surprised by this answer.

  People like him regard human nature as extremely evil. How could they believe that Zhu Di would agree to his plea at this time?

   "Then, I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a deal." Ji Gang stared at Zhu Di seriously.

  Zhu Di said lightly: "I can listen to it."

Ji Gangdao: "Your Majesty... Over the years, I have robbed countless big households. Not only that, but I also sell private salt for officials, not millions of catties, but tens of millions of catties. In addition... the minister also used the method of arresting criminals In the name of the government, countless families were destroyed, and their wealth was embezzled. Of course... this is far more than that. Many people rushed to give gifts to the ministers in order to buy peace, and the thieves who were sheltered by the ministers also appeared every year. Filial piety..."

He said it like a few treasures, as if he was talking about family affairs, and his tone was very calm: "Your Majesty may not know that the beautiful girls escorted by the North Korean country. I have to look at them first. If there are beautiful ones, I will Take them home, and the rest will be sent to the palace..."

  Hearing this, Zhang Anshi subconsciously started to take a step back, hiding far away from between Ji Gang and Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di's face turned black, and his eyes were gloomy, but his reaction was unusually calm.

As if he couldn't feel Zhu Di's anger, Ji Gang continued: "In the court, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. But in the eyes of ordinary people and merchants, I am their Son of Heaven... I have enjoyed enough blessings these years, so what should I do?" A sum of wealth, I am afraid it is much more than His Majesty imagined."

  Zhu Di only stared at his face closely, and said at this time: "Where is it?"

  Ji Gang is a person who no one wants to believe. I'm afraid that even now, these things are still in his mind, and other people who know about it may have been silenced by him.

Ji Gang said: "I have reached a desperate situation today, and I dare not expect that I can survive. What hope is there for a dying person? Your Majesty, don't expect these people to torture you, and I will obey obediently. These Those who torture are all disciples and grandchildren of ministers, and it is impossible for ministers to open their mouths because of their three-legged cat skills."

  Zhu Di's face became more and more angry, and he said in a deep voice: "My patience is limited, I will ask you one last time, where are you?"

   Ji Gang stared at Zhu Di and said: "I am willing to speak out, but... there is one condition, as long as Your Majesty can do it, I will definitely speak."

  Zhu Di only pursed his lips, silently.

   Now, Zhu Di doesn't want to bargain any more, he just wants to teach this person to die without a place to bury him.

Ji Gang knelt in front of Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, please kill twenty-nine of my wives and children within half an hour, and bring their heads to the minister. I will report everything truthfully."

  By the time he finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face.

  After hearing this, Ji Wenlong was shocked and almost fainted.

  He stared at Ji Gang with red eyes, and shouted: "Father...Father...Why do you ask someone to kill me? Father...I am your son, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

  Ji Gang didn't respond, he only looked at Zhu Di, not even Ji Wenlong.

  He stared straight at Zhu Di, carefully observing Zhu Di's expression.

   Zhang Anshi approached Zhu Di at this time, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Han thieves are not at odds with each other, and we can't fight such thieves just because of mere wealth..."

  Zhu Di pressed his hand and signaled Zhang Anshi not to speak, but he looked at Ji Gangdao with a cold face; "What if you break your promise?"

  Ji Gangdao: "I also hope that my death will be easier. I also know that at this point, it will be beneficial for me to speak out. Your Majesty... time is running out, and it is only limited to one hour."

  Zhu Di stared at him for a long time, and after a while, he said angrily, "Come here."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

  Zhu Di spat out three words: "Kill them all."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."

  The reason for the persuasion just now is that Zhang Anshi is not stupid.

   Is it true that you don’t even want money?

  Are you stupid?

  Of course money is needed, but the archway can’t be lost.

   Zhang Anshi stopped talking too much at this time, turned around, and hurried out of the cell.

   Half an hour later.

  Chen Li personally brought a burlap bag, kicked the full bag to the ground, and more than 20 **** heads rolled out, which was shocking.

   Ji Wenlong was still here, already fainted from fright.

  Ji Gang saw this, his eyes were red, and his mouth was trembling constantly. At this time, his mood was extremely sad, and he murmured: "Second...Third...My Yue'e..."

  poof...

   A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

  He coughed desperately, with shackled hands, trying to reach out and grab the nearest head.

  Ji Gang didn't even have the strength to cry at this time.

Zhu Di only looked at him coldly, and said: "I also left you a son, just wait for you to say, let's talk, after I finish speaking, I will send him on the road soon, and it will be regarded as a whole for you and me. "

  Ji Gang wept silently, spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood, then raised his head to look at Zhu Di and said, "Many... Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Long En is mighty, minister..."

  He kowtowed violently to Zhu Di. This time, he seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, and finally said: "I am very grateful."

   As he spoke, he raised his head, his lifeless face finally began to squirm his lips, and he said word by word: "The wealth is in Zhongshan, the closest mountain to Xiaoling, where... there is a farm..."
