Zhu Chunchen was finally scared.

People are still afraid of death.

What's more, Zhang Jingyi actually knew for a long time that this guy is a person who is greedy for life and fears death.

You know, in fact, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne in history, he trusted him very much. When Li Zicheng attacked the capital, he ordered him to defend Qihuamen. As a result, he actually went to listen to the opera on the day of the attack.

It would be fine to listen to the opera, but turned around and he actually opened the city gate directly to welcome Li Zicheng into the city.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with surrendering, but others can surrender, but Zhu Chunchen cannot.

Just when he opened the door to beg for surrender, Emperor Chongzhen did not know the real situation, and still thought that Zhu Chunchen was a loyal minister. Because of the chaos at night, Emperor Chongzhen did not know where Li Zicheng's army and horses came in.

So before hanging himself, Emperor Chongzhen actually wrote a suicide note, hoping that Zhu Chunchen could protect the prince from fleeing south.

The naive Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that Zhu Chunchen had actually sold the capital for a long time and transformed himself into Li Zicheng's great hero.

As a result, after entering the city, Li Zicheng was furious after learning about Emperor Chongzhen's suicide note and directly chopped off Zhu Chunchen.

Just now, Zhu Chunchen defended himself and thought that he would not be so guilty. This sounds ridiculous, but Zhang Jingyi knew that this shameless person actually thought so.

He was born a nobleman, and countless people around him praised him. Naturally, he felt that everyone in the world owed him, and everything he did was understandable.

To put it bluntly, it is just to use the standards of a saint to demand others and use the standards of a slut to demand yourself.

But once he knew that things might be much worse than he thought, he immediately became timid, crying bitterly, rolling around, crying so loudly.

Emperor Tianqi's eyes were too long and looked at him like a dead person. For no reason, he felt that it was extremely ridiculous.

I suddenly felt a feeling in my heart that it was not unreasonable to the point where the world was so greedy and the shameless nobles in the capital were actually relying on these people to maintain discipline and the country.

At this moment, Emperor Aoki said angrily: "Who else, you say."

"What I know is that these merchants... are not just contacting me. The transactions I do with them are just the tip of the iceberg. Your Majesty... They have been doing such a thing for more than ten years, but did Your Majesty... Your Majesty has not discovered that no one has exposed this matter? Could it be that... it is because I am meticulous?"

When Emperor Aoki heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It turned out that what he and Zhang Jingyi presuppose was that Zhu Chunchen was a very cautious person, so he colluded with a group of merchants and concealed it for more than ten years.

But now it seems that how could a Zhu Chunchen have such great energy? After all, land smuggling is a huge project, and many people are involved in this project.

Can Zhu Chunchen clear all levels? Can he be seamless? Over the past ten years, even a little negligence should have conquered.

This is also why Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi determined that the people behind the smuggler were very meticulous.

But now... thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi was shocked, so he couldn't help but say, "You mean... you are not the only one?"

"So I said that I am wronged, everyone in the world is doing it, not only me... Why can't I do what everyone does?" Zhu Chunchen said crying.

Emperor Tianqi suddenly realized why this shameless man could be so righteous after the matter was exposed.

Emperor Aoki gritted his teeth and said, "Who else do you think?"

"I don't know." Zhu Chunchen said tremblingly.

"Didn't you say you want to expose it?" Emperor Aoki looked at him fiercely.

Zhu Chunchen said: "I want to expose...there are many people in the world doing this. I am just the tip of the iceberg. I...I am wronged..."

This is what I say...

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he started to smoke. He turned his eyes and looked at Deng Jian and said, "Pull it down, pull it down, let him speak... no matter what, let him speak!"

Without saying a word, Deng Jian picked up Zhu Chunchen and dragged him away.

Zhu Chunchen obviously still had a lucky chance.

In fact, his mind is roughly like this. Everyone does this, I am just one of them. I think I am right. Today, Your Majesty will forgive me no matter what...

But now... he seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.

Emperor Aoki closed his eyes and tried hard to restrain the endless anger in his heart.

At this time... Zhang Jingyi whispered: "Your Majesty, Xuancheng Bo Wei Shichun..."

Upon hearing Zhang Jingyi's reminder, Emperor Tianqi suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp edge flashed through his eyes, and the sharp edge quickly swept across Tian Ergeng and Zhou Zhenggang.

Tian Ergeng and Zhou Zhenggang had already noticed something was wrong. They were so scared that their faces were pale, but they hid in the corner and did not dare to show off.

Emperor Tianqi suddenly arose: "Since Duke Cheng colluded with merchants, it was Zhu Chunchen's dog thief who wanted to poison me, then... why did the Wei family plead guilty? Where is Wei Shichun now?"

At this time, a eunuch stepped forward and said, "After your Majesty's interrogation, he was placed in the side hall..."

Emperor Tianqi said anxiously: "I'll go and take a look and lead the way."

As he said that, he stood up quickly and rushed to the side hall.

The rest of the people naturally followed suit.

Wei Zhongxian realized that something was a fool, and he couldn't help but be glad that he didn't talk nonsense just now!

Sure enough, Tian Ergeng and Zhou Zhenggang were looking at him pitifully while others were not paying attention.

Wei Zhongxian had a dark face, but he didn't say a word.

After Emperor Tianqi arrived at the side hall, he detained more than a dozen Wei family members who had been imprisoned in the palace for interrogation.

Some of them have fainted, and most of them are covered in bruises and have no spirit on their faces.

Someone was murmuring, muttering something.

Wei Shichun was in a corner, covered in blood.

Originally, when interrogating, Emperor Tianqi did not feel anything unusual. He felt that since he was a ruthless murderer, it was understandable to punish him. But now, seeing Wei Shichun's appearance, the shock and shame in his heart made him feel ashamed.

When Wei Shichun saw many people coming, he immediately said in horror: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I deserve to be guilty..."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he felt even more ashamed and angry. He took a deep breath and said in a tired and hoarse voice: "Weiqing family, you are not guilty."

"I deceive the king and the emperor... kill the king and the father..." Wei Shichun seemed to have no consciousness at this time, but just followed the words of Emperor Tianqi and kept muttering.

So Emperor Apocalypse stepped forward and squatted down, trying to hold his hand.

He looked like a frightened cat, and his body curled up immediately, trembling even harder.

Wei Shichun has always been a tough guy in the mind of Emperor Tianqi. Unexpectedly, after just one night, it seemed like another person had changed.

At this time, Wei Shichun said in horror again: "Don't...don't hit me."

Emperor Aoqi grabbed his hand, and the bloody hand, covered in scars, trembled extremely violently. Emperor Aoqi just scared the person in front of him and tried to make his voice gentler: "Who hits you, how do you hit you, and how did you confess?"

Wei Shichun just kept saying: "Stop beating...my son...my son can't bear it anymore, I...I've followed..."

His eyes had no sign of expression, his pupils seemed to be dissipated, and he was just chanting like this in his mouth.

Behind Emperor Tianqi, Zhou Zhenggang's face was already as bright as earth, and he had already felt vaguely that something might be happening to him.

Emperor Tianqi was not angry at this time. He just looked at Wei Shichun and felt mixed feelings, saying, "No one will hit you anymore. Wei Qing's family. If you want to fight, you should hit me. I am confused. You are diligent in your daily life. How could I believe those treacherous words? It's me that I was wrong."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi suddenly lost his voice and choked up.

Wei Shichun has always been responsible for the garrison in the palace, so to some extent, Wei Shichun often enters and leaves the palace.

Emperor Tianqi likes to dance with swords and guns on weekdays, so he often summons Wei Shichun to come to him to talk about war on paper. Wei Shichun is a honest and honest person, which is what Emperor Tianqi thinks of him.

But after Wei Shichun was suspected of being a rebel, Emperor Tianqi actually believed it and immediately became heartless.

The better his impression of Wei Shichun was, the more angry he felt when Wei Shichun confessed.

Until now...

When Emperor Tianqi saw this, he realized that everything was caused by villains and couldn't help but blame himself. Wei Shichun's appearance was all the faults caused by his trust in others!

Emperor Tianqi covered Wei Shichun's hand tightly and said, "I am so confused... Wei Qing's family... Wei Qing's family..."

Only then did Wei Shichun seem to gradually regain a little consciousness.

He carefully looked at everything around him, and as Emperor Aoki was right in front of him, Emperor Aoki cried so hard that he almost lost his voice.

Wei Shichun, who had recovered a little bit of consciousness, seemed to feel a little unbelievable at this time. He seemed to be dreaming. He carefully tentatively said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty will not blame me?"

Emperor Aoki gritted his teeth and said, "I only blame myself..."

Suddenly, countless emotions poured into Wei Shichun's heart. Wei Shichun suddenly burst into tears. Then... he broke away from Emperor Tianqi's hand, lay on the ground, and kowtowed to Emperor Tianqi. Wei Shichun choked and said, "Your Majesty... I am wronged... I am wronged... I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me..."

When they said this, the other Wei family members were obviously a little awake.

They looked here, and then they knelt down one by one, and said in a crying voice: "I am wronged!"

Emperor Tianqi slowly stood up, with no expression on his face, and suddenly seemed extremely cold. He said word by word: "Say, what are your grievances? I will make the decision for you no matter what!"
