Although the prison of the Ministry of Justice is as gloomy as the imperial prison that makes people feel scared, it is not simple. The cold environment, dim lights, and a few painful moans that come from time to time have made the Duke of Yue, who has been in here for the first time, feel a little scared.

After obtaining Tang Feng's permission, he was able to go to the prison to see the detained royal families. He knew very well that Tang Feng allowed him to meet these people in order to persuade them to agree to their conditions. However, Duke Yue still had other plans and only waited to meet these people before explaining in detail.[]

The jailer who led the way in front of him finally stopped and opened the doors of several of the prison cells and said: "Dude, please!"

Duke Yue carefully looked into the narrow spaces under the dim lights, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were seven or eight people locked in this small cell, and they could even be described as squeezed. And the young clans who were originally dressed in bright clothes and arrogant also had dim expressions, with a silence, and had no past arrogance.

Feeling that someone had stopped in front of their prison, the people hurriedly raised their eyes, with expectations in their eyes. After being locked up here, they no longer contacted people, except for the prison guards who regularly gave them brown rice and white water to eat and drink. But now it is obvious that it is not time to eat, which makes many people have expectations.

When they saw Duke Yue standing outside the door, these royal families immediately shouted: "Duke Yue, where can we save us..." Although they shouted with all their might, the sound was not loud. In just one or two days, the royal families were already tortured.

"You retreat first, my Duke must tell them something." Duke Yue said to the prison guard.

"This..." The prison guard did not agree, but just looked at Duke Yue, with a hint of greed appearing in his eyes.

Duke Yue was secretly angry. He was such a tiny prisoner who dared to blackmail, a jailer like this. He was so brave. But he knew that the fire could not be dispersed. This was also the rule in the prison. Can a small prisoner still have a common experience with him? After calming down, Duke Yue took out a fifty taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over: "Remember, treat these masters well."

"Okay, please don't worry, Duke. You see, there is no place to sit here, so why don't you get a chair for you?" After accepting a small fortune, the prison guard's face suddenly became happy and he was much more respectful in his words.

"No need, my Duke will leave soon." After frowned, Duke Yue said to him.

The jailer then walked away obediently, and only Duke Yue and some people left here to commit crimes. He sighed and said, "How about you, you have not suffered any crimes here, right?" When he asked this, he felt a little unnecessary. There was no trace of torture on these people, but their identities were locked up here. This crime was already caused by the crime.

Sure enough, after hearing this, those people immediately complained about their sufferings. Some of them were sober, and they kept begging Duke Yue to find a way to rescue him. Listening to them begging for help, Duke Yue couldn't get in for a moment. After a while, he shouted: "Okay, you all listen to me!"

After all, it was his energy that was full. After hearing what he said, those people suddenly became quiet and looked at him. Duke Yue then said, "We have also thought of many ways to save you in the past two days. Unfortunately, Tang Feng is now covering the sky with one hand, and even the Empress Dowager is controlled by him, so we can do nothing."

When everyone heard this, they became more anxious. The rude one had already started to curse. After they calmed down, Duke Yue continued: "Now it seems that all this is under his control and we cannot change it at all."

"Duke Yue, I have always had a question. It seems that the one who set fire to the sect mansion that day was not ours, but some other guys. After igniting the fire, these people hurriedly left, and then the people from the Five City Military and Ma Si arrived..." A relatively smart person suddenly spoke. In the past two days, he had been suspicious of this matter. After Duke Yue said this, he became even more certain.

Everyone, including Duke Yue, was stunned. Then many people nodded in agreement and said that they had seen this, but because the incident happened suddenly and was detained again, they could not pay attention. Now, everyone knew that they were obsessed with someone's words, and this person must be Tang Feng, so everyone started cursing Tang Feng again.

When Duke Yue first heard this, he was stunned and thought that this was an opportunity to negotiate. But then he denied the idea. Now that Tang Feng has everything in control, it will be useless even if they have evidence. So he quickly calmed everyone down and said, "It's meaningless to say these things now. What we need to do now is to go out."

"Duke of Yue, is there any way?" Everyone looked at him with hope.

"Now, Beijing is controlled by Tang's first hand. If you want you to go out, you can only rely on him. I went to meet him yesterday, and he told him about his own conditions. As long as you are willing, he will release others."

"What conditions? As long as we can get out, we will depend on him." Everyone said quickly. But after Duke Yue mentioned Tang Feng's specific conditions, the royal families stopped talking. Tang Feng was too ruthless to cut his own expenses, but he also had to take his own money. 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and even they could not take it out casually.

"He is clearly blackmailing, we..." Although he was very dissatisfied, as soon as he said that, these people thought of their own situation. If they refused to agree, they were afraid that their lives would be in danger.

Duke Yue also said: "For the opportunity now, we can only agree with him first and then find a way. This Tang man is so arrogant because of his past contributions. We must not let him go easily."

"Duke Yue has any idea?" Everyone had already recognized it at this time, and their hatred for Tang Feng became a little deeper. He immediately asked after hearing what he said.

"We are not his opponent in Beijing, but it will be different when we get there. As long as we go back, we are in the name of Qing Junci, I think a large number of people will surrender. At that time, hum!" Duke Yue sneered. He could see that although the officials in the capital were all acting like Tang Feng, they were not convinced. Tang Feng actually wanted to cover up the sky with one hand. As long as he seized the opportunity, he might not be able to abandon him.

Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded one after another and said, "Okay, let's do as Duke Yue wants. There are still many people in our respective fiefs, and the local officials also have good friendships with us. At that time, we will definitely bring out a group of people. We will be the only disaster for the Ming Dynasty that has no king or father!"

The opinions were quickly reached, and the royal families immediately took out their tokens and asked the Duke of Yue to take them to their families to get the silver to rescue them. After comforting everyone and reassuring them, Duke of Yue left the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice, which made people feel depressed and uncomfortable. The royal families in the prison also became much better because of hope and their spirits. Everyone began to whisper about how to avenge this time.

These people did not notice that after Duke Yue left, the door of a prison cell not far from them also opened, and then a man in a flying fish suit walked out.

"As I thought, these people still refused to give up, and they actually wanted to rebel and rebelled!" Tang Feng snorted coldly after hearing Bai Liangfeng's report. After he approved the Duke of Yue, he was careful and ordered the Jinyiwei to go to the prison to eavesdrop. Sure enough, he really got such a message.

"What is the Duke of the State going to deal with these people?" Bai Liangfeng asked, with a hint of embarrassment between his eyebrows. He was afraid that Tang Feng would let him execute these people secretly, which would be too hot. Although these people did not have much power, their identities were there and they could not be eliminated casually.

Tang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "As the original meaning, let the person be released if you receive the money."

"Ah?" Bai Liangfeng looked at Tang Feng in surprise, unable to believe that he would make such a decision. Indeed, although Tang Feng had a lot of troops, if these people really made trouble, it would be a blow to the Ming Dynasty. How could he sit and watch it develop? But when he saw Tang Feng's confident appearance, he knew that he had his own countermeasures.

Tang Feng still smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that I plan to do it step by step, first hit them for a while, and then remove these wormworms from the country bit by bit. Now I have given me a chance to get it done once and for all."

Seeing that Bai Liangfeng still didn't understand, Tang Feng said again: "In addition to taking a lot of money from our country's warehouse, the biggest disaster for our Ming Dynasty was also the annexation of land. These people rely on their identity as their royal family, not only took away some farmers' land, but also failed to pay taxes. This is also the reason why our Ming Dynasty's taxes are getting worse every year, but the taxes that farmers have to pay are getting more and more. If this continues, it will not take many years for more Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang.

"It turns out that I planned to find another excuse to attack their land after this time, but now they have given the opportunity to me. Rebellion, huh, do they really think rebellion is so easy to do? Now we already know their conspiracy. How can these people succeed?

"As long as they take down people before they take over the matter, it will not only do anything bad for me, Daming, but we also have sufficient reasons to deal with everything about them. Are you thinking that this is not a big gift they sent themselves?"

When Bai Liangfeng heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said yes, and at the same time he felt a little cold. It is said that the people of the Jinyiwei are cruel and ruthless, but they are really a witch compared to Duke An. Rebellion is a serious crime that can kill the nine clans. By then, not only the land and family property, but also the lives of the royal family and the people related to them may not be protected. That is a total of nearly a thousand, or even more lives, Tang Feng will give the ending in one sentence. This makes him look at Tang Feng with a little more awe.

Tang Feng did not notice what the other party was thinking, but just smiled and said, "The most important thing about this matter is intelligence work. You must take action before they take action. Only in this way can there be no real chaos. This depends on your Jinyiwei people. Those royal families are located in a twelve hours a day, and you cannot let go of any disturbances."

Bai Liangfeng nodded quickly and said yes. He knew that if the matter was really done, he would definitely be a great achievement. Will there be less rewards at that time? Now that the power of the Jinyiwei has been further expanded, it is still easy to do this small thing.

A few days later, millions of taels of silver were sent by the families of the royal family. Tang Feng also took the professional qualities of kidnappers and released everyone after collecting the money. Those royal families who suffered a lot did not dare to make any trouble in the capital. As soon as they were out of prison, they rode back to their fiefdom in a carriage.

The treasury suddenly became full. Although some officials had a lot of objections to Tang Feng's approach in private, it was finally beneficial to the country, and no one was irrelevant in the official position. And the people even felt that the court's attitude was famous this time, and the people had never had any good impression of these royal families who bullied others.

The orders of the Jinyiwei were passed on before the release of the people. The houses of the prefectures and counties where these royal families were located were covered with secret whistles. As long as they took action, officers and soldiers would come to suppress them. Everything was ready, the net was already set up, and they just waited for the prey to take the bait. Tang Feng no longer paid attention to this matter, because the people who sacrificed their wares in Gansu had arrived.

This time, the defeat of the anti-army army and the enemy was defeated in one go, which was a big event for the Ming Dynasty, so it naturally had to make the show bigger. Just as the treasury had another silver, the scene became even more grand.

Nearly 10,000 Liaodong Army escorted more than a thousand anti-army soldiers led by Li Zi to Beijing, winning warm welcome from the people of the city. Tang Feng and the officials looked at all this and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. History was indeed written by later generations and was not so real at all.

In historical books, Li Zicheng was always called a great hero. Wherever he passed, the people actively supported him. Even after entering Beijing and doing many evil things, it was normal. But now it seems that this was clearly a fool made up by the Qing Dynasty, just to discredit the Ming Dynasty and to justify itself.

The people were very respectful to these soldiers who defended their country, but the people were not in good terms to those anti-army soldiers who bowed their heads. Some even picked up the vegetable gang and greeted them with rotten eggs. If the officers and soldiers on both sides and the yamen runners were not blocking them, the situation would have been even worse.

After swimming the streets, the 100 most important thieves were selected from the group of rebels and escorted to the Golden Palace for trial, while the others were escorted by the Liaodong soldiers outside the city, waiting for the court to decide how to deal with them before disposing of them.

Emperor Zhengyuan, who was only two or three years old, was carried on the dragon throne and didn't know anything. He just opened his innocent eyes and looked at the ministers below to make suggestions. In fact, these adults knew very well that they were saying these words to Tang Feng. They knew that Tang Feng valued military merits, and this time he was able to defeat the anti-army was indeed a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty. These officials were happy to do favors and gave these soldiers generous rewards.

Man Gui was granted a title of Marquis, Wu Sangui was promoted to two levels and became general, and other soldiers who fought had rewards. This time, not only did he get the silver that had been prepaid by Tang Feng before to the soldiers, but he also added hundreds of thousands. Now that the treasury is full of money, no one will object.

After glory and glory, it was a decision to take over the rebels. In fact, these people were understandable to rebel, but the country was very strict and it was impossible not to be punished. Tang Feng did not want to keep Li Zicheng as a disaster. Although he knew that Li Zicheng was nothing, the key was that the Ming court itself was to be upright, he still ordered him and some other generals to be executed at Caishikou.

After doing this, Tang Feng set up another banquet and invited old friends from Liaodong to meet and speak. After saying congratulations, Man Gui made a statement on behalf of the Liaodong soldiers: "Mr., we will remember all of you in your heart when you can consider the soldiers. In the future, as long as you say one word, we will not give up any refusal in the water and fire!"

Tang Feng was overjoyed when he heard this and had a few drinks with the soldiers. After knowing that after this incident, these people must be more loyal to him. With the support of the most elite Liaodong Army, his current status will be stronger, which will prepare the best help for dealing with the royal families in the future.

After drinking for 30 years, Wu Sangui said regretfully: "Duke, we are actually a little omission."

"What do you mean? I know some thieves have escaped, but they are no longer in a state of chaos, so why should I take it to heart?" Tang Feng asked in confusion.

"The last general asked those anti-military generals and learned from them that an important person had escaped."

"Oh, who is it?"

"This person is called Li Yan, and he is the military advisor of the anti-military army. It is because of his plan behind the scenes that the anti-military forces gradually increased to their current level. This uprising was also due to his plan. This person can be said to be the second-ranked figure in the anti-military army."

"It's him..." Tang Feng was stunned. He didn't say much about this official history, but the unofficial history often mentioned Mr. Li. He also had a memory. He didn't expect that this person was really there and escaped. This is indeed a problem.

"What, does the Duke of the State know about this person?" Wu Sangui asked.

"Oh, I heard from the Jinyiwei people." Tang Feng found a reason to make excuses. Then he said: "Since this person is their military advisor, everyone always sees him. Let's draw a picture for him and make a sea capture official document."

"I thought of this too, the portrait has already existed." As he said that, Wu Sangui took out the portrait from his arms. Obviously, he had wanted to ask Tang Feng to help him.

After opening the portrait and looking carefully, Tang Feng was stunned: "It's him!" He had already recognized Li Yan's true identity...
