Chapter 500 Weakness
The prison cells of Shaoxing Prefecture and its subordinate Kuaiji and Shanyin counties are not very sufficient. After all, this place is a wealthy place in Jiangnan. Etiquette is known for its food and clothing. There are fewer people here committing crimes than other places. But this time, because of the White Lotus Sect, and the transfer of so many people from She County, these three prisons could not accommodate them.
In desperation, they had to lock these people in one place, and four or five people were locked in each cell, so that these prisoners could be arranged properly. Even so, the two elders of the White Lotus Sect, who had different identities from each other, were given special care and were locked in two small cells alone. However, except for the larger space for this activity, their environment was no different from that of others, the same humid and heat, and the same smelly.
When Tang Feng stepped into the Shanyin County Jail, he was almost smoldered by the stench and humidity here. At this time, the prison head on the side hurriedly smiled and rushed up: "Mr. Tang, I don't know which person you are going to see. As long as you give me an order, the younger one will naturally send you the person. Why do you work so hard to come?"
"No need, I just go in and see him." Tang Feng smiled and declined the other party's flattery. It was not that he was a square person, but because he felt that talking to Ge Ming in this environment would make him surrender more easily. "You just watch here." After saying this, Tang Feng took a deep breath and entered this very bad prison.
When the prison chief saw that the adult had actually entered, he was dazed and thought of something. After giving a few instructions to the people around him, he went to the county government office. He had to tell the county magistrate about the sudden arrival of Lord Tang.
Frowning, Tang Feng was guided by others and arrived before the prison cell where Ge Ming was locked up. This was a small room less than five feet, dark and damp. In addition, it was almost early summer, so hot that it was so hot that it made people breathless. Seeing the old man lying on the bad grass, Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing someone sighing in front of his prison, Ge Ming, who had been closing his eyes and resting, opened his eyes and looked over. After being tortured in front of him, Ge Ming was injured. Now he is locked in such a harsh environment, and he is even weaker. Fortunately, he has internal strength to protect him, so his consciousness is still clear. When he saw that the person was Tang Feng, he was shocked, but he did not show any signs on his face, and he just hummed lightly.
"Ge Ming, have you ever figured it out after being here these few days?" Tang Feng was not angry at his rudeness, but still asked slowly. Ge Ming's answer to his question was another cold snorting.
Seeing his appearance, a glimmer flashed in Tang Feng's eyes: "It seems that Elder Ge is unwilling to compromise, but he doesn't know what Zhuge Changming has to think?"
Tang Feng's words did not deliberately emphasize the tone, but it was like a thunder in Ge Ming's ears. He suddenly raised his head from the ground and stared at Tang Feng: "You...what were you saying?"
"I said, Zhuge Changming, are you still unwilling to bow to me?" Tang Feng looked back at him and said lightly: "Isn't your real name Zhuge Changming? Isn't your hometown in Wuchang City?"
"How do you know this..." In amazement, Zhuge Changming couldn't help asking this, which naturally admitted that his identity was Zhuge Changming. Tang Feng just smiled at his question: "Do you think you are hiding well? But you don't think about what our Jinyiwei does. As long as you are my Ming people, there will be no one we can't find."
After the initial shock, Zhuge Changming quickly calmed down: "So what if you know my true identity? Now I am all in your hands. Is there any difference between you or not?"
"Of course there is." Tang Feng smiled and said, "If you are Ge Ming, just an elder of the White Lotus Sect, and you are not afraid of death, we will naturally have no choice but to do anything to you. But it is different for you to be Zhuge Changming. You have your own circle of life and your own wife and children. I heard that you have two grandchildren. I wonder if this news is enough?"
"You..." Zhuge Changming's face changed drastically, and he was even more panicked than when he heard Tang Feng call out his real name before: "What's wrong with them?" When he thought of his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and others who would be punished by the government, his heart was a stinging pain. People are ruthless, even the elders of the White Lotus Sect cannot avoid it. In the eyes of others, he is a good father and grandfather. His son doesn't know that his father is a member of the White Lotus Sect, which is also a means he uses to hide himself. But he didn't expect that he still implicated them now. How could this make him not panic?
Seeing his panic, Tang Feng felt a little more confident. As long as people still have concerns, they will have flaws and can use them for their own use. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are not from the White Lotus Sect, so we won't do anything to them for the time being, but they will just take them from Wuhan to Shaoxing. However, their safety lies entirely in your attitude. If you refuse to help the court eliminate the traitors, they will be relatives of the traitors. You should also know that all rebels will kill the nine clans. Although they have no major mistakes, who would say that their lives are bad?"
"You...I..." Zhuge Changming didn't know what he should say for a moment, so he could only stare at Tang Feng with hatred. Facing his murderous gaze, Tang Feng did not take it seriously: "Don't blame me. When you walk on this path, you should have thought that this day will come. Now I have given you a chance to lose your merits. As long as you are willing to tell me where the White Lotus Sect Master and the rudders in various places, I will naturally not make things difficult for them. Otherwise, my Jinyiwei's Guaman clone is not as good as looking for people, and I can't tell you what will happen at that time."
The inner struggle unfolded in Zhuge Changming's heart. On the one hand, he didn't want to betray the Holy Sect. After all, he had been in the sect for decades. Even the leader grew up by himself, but on the other hand, he didn't want to see his descendants convicted by the court, and even died with him. He had heard a lot of the Jinyiwei's methods and saw them. Of course, he believed that what Tang Feng said was the truth. Seeing his contradictory expression, Tang Feng still smiled: "I know you are in a difficult position, but
It's you, but you can't help but give me a choice. Let's do this, I'll give you a day to think about it. If you are still stubborn at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless." As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned around and said, "By the way, I want to remind you one more thing, don't think that you'll die. As long as you die, your grandson and son will be buried with you." After saying this, Tang Feng didn't even look at Zhuge Changming and left.
Zhuge Changming fell heavily to the ground after hearing Tang Feng's last words. He didn't know what he should choose now, whether it was for himself or for the Holy Church?
As soon as Tang Feng left the gate of the cell, he saw the Shanyin County Magistrate waiting there. He didn't dare to disturb Tang Feng from doing the serious business. When he saw Tang Feng coming out, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Sir, please come here to see the criminals, so you don't tell the officials, so you can make arrangements for the officials. Now that the officials have suffered this crime, the officials are really frightened."
Tang Feng shook his hand and said, "It's okay, I can still bear this crime. You are here, magistrate Tu County, and I have something to tell you."
"Sir, please tell me." Seeing that Tang Feng had something to do, the county magistrate Tu immediately felt energetic. That was Shangguan's trust in him. Tang Feng just smiled at his performance and ordered: "Now that the *** official saw the criminal of the man surnamed Ge, he might change his original intention and cooperate with me, so you should send someone to pay attention to the situation of that person. Once he proposed to meet with me, no matter when, you would come and report it to me."
"Yes, the official has written it down. Lord Tu is really a role model for officials like us. Everything is so careful..." Seeing that County Magistrate Tu wanted to flatter him again, Tang Feng smiled and patted his shoulder: "Okay, go and do your business, I will say goodbye." After being slapped so kindly by Lord Tang, County Magistrate Tu's bones were a few taels lighter, and he couldn't even speak flatteringly, and he would nod and say yes.
"Sir, do you think this person will compromise?" Zhang Tai asked curiously on the way back.
Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "From his performance, he will compromise with us because of his relatives. Then, bring his sons and grandsons to him, are you still worried that he will not submit?"
"Yes, what the adult said is that no matter who he is, he will always have his own flaws. Now that his flaws are mastered by him, he can only submit to one way."
"Yes, so you all have to be prepared. Once you know the specific situation of the White Lotus Sect and their location, you must immediately send a message to the capital city and ask the court to send troops to encircle them. This time, it may be time for a result." Tang Feng said as he looked at the sky above his head. It was covered with clouds, which seemed to indicate that a great storm was coming.
"Yes, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I will definitely not disappoint the adults."
"No, this time you are not asking you to charge forward. Unless they are close to us, the other people will deal with these traitors. But no matter who they are, as long as they can eliminate the White Lotus Sect, it is a good thing for my Ming Dynasty. We must cooperate with them with all our strength!" Tang Feng said this last sentence, and walked forward quickly with a clamp on his horse's belly...
