Chongzhen grabbed Zhu Cixuan's hand: "My son, you are finally back!"

Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen with a relieved expression, with a subtle expression.

In Wang Chengen's impression, this expression should be the expression that his son showed after seeing his father. This reversal is really...

Zhu Cilang coughed and said seriously to Chongzhen: "Don't worry, Father, we have won this time."

Chongzhen was still a little scared: "But why are there still shouts of killing?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "That's because of Li Zicheng's original plan. His troops will open the city gate after conquering Deshengmen, and then the entire city will bloom on all sides. But now that Deshengmen has firmly defended it, his offensive in other directions is destined to return in vain."

At present, the garrison of Beijing City is enough to resist Li Zicheng's offensive head-on, not to mention that night wars have never been used for sneak attacks. I have never heard of any country's army able to occupy a city through night attacks.

This battle was already destined to end when Gao Jie's troops were wiped out.

After hearing Zhu Cilang's words, Chongzhen felt completely relieved, and then remembered something and his face changed.

"So, that dog thing Wang Huamin really colluded with Li Zicheng?"

Zhu Cilang nodded: "This matter is absolutely true. Among the rebels who intend to conquer the city and Gao Jieli, there are many of Wang Huamin's sons and nephews. As long as the father can be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice, the truth will be revealed immediately."

Chongzhen said coldly with a gloomy face: "Wang Cheng'en, have you heard it? Immediately send an order to the Minister of Justice and let him and the Minister of Dali Temple jointly hear it!"

According to the case-based judgment process in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice was generally the preliminary trial of the Ministry of Justice and then the re-examination of the Jiao Dali Temple, and the Censorate carried out supervision.

Now Chongzhen directly asked the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to conduct a joint trial, which obviously wanted to end the interrogation procedure as quickly as possible and get a result.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to neglect and went there quickly.

In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Kui grabbed the iron fence in front of him with both hands and howled loudly.

"Let me go out. I am the father-in-law of the country and his majesty! I want to meet His Majesty and the Queen, and I want to make an accusation!"

Zhou Kui howled again and again, even though his voice was hoarse, there was no sign of silence at all.

A sigh came from the prison next to Zhou Kui: "Bestie, do you still have hope in this matter? You should just kill me honestly."

The one who spoke was Cao Huachun.

Zhou Kui was angry and shouted, "Cao Huachun, it was your eunuch who was confused by the sweet words of the eunuch. I must report to Your Majesty and the Queen, and execute you, the eunuch, and cut you into pieces!"

Cao Huachun: "..."

Cao Huachun stopped talking.

Zhou Kui continued howling, but in front of him there was only darkness, only a little light came from the prison window, which looked extremely slim.

Suddenly, a torch light came over, and Zhou Kui suddenly felt hope in his heart and screamed again: "I am wronged. I want to see Your Majesty, I want..."

Zhou Kui suddenly closed his mouth.

In front of him, a prisoner in shackles was walking by dejectedly.

It is Wang Huamin.

There are two other people around Wang Huamin, namely the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple.

As the father-in-law, he knew very well what these two people represented behind the appearance of this place.

Zhou Kui took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

The next moment, two jailers, who were like wolves and tigers, kicked open Zhou Kui's prison door and sneered: "Criminal Zhou Kui, Lord Shangshu wants to interrogate you, come with us."

"No--" Zhou Kui let out an extremely desperate scream.

"This is impossible!" Almost at the same time, Li Zicheng roared angryly in the Dashun Army camp outside Changhua Gate.

Judging from the news just passed back, the night attack launched by the Dashun Army on Beijing City tonight can be said to have been completely defeated.

If you insist on saying this, it can actually be expected, but the problem is...

"What's going on with Deshengmen? What about Gao Jieren? Why is there no news yet?" Li Zicheng walked around angrily and sent a series of questions.

No one can answer this question, or no one dares to answer this question.

More than an hour has passed since the attack was launched. Anyone with a normal IQ can think that Gao Jie's troops could not last in the city for so long, after all, they were just an isolated army.

Gao Jie has actually failed!

But, looking at the furious Li Zicheng, no one present dared to say this.

After so many failures, Li Zicheng's temper has grown day by day. Even Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, two military advisors who are most trusted by him, should be careful now.

Suddenly, a general rushed into the tent.

Li Zicheng's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there any news about Gao Jie?"

The general hesitated, but he still said, "Your Majesty, this is, this is..."

Li Zicheng was angry: "What is mother-in-law and mother!"

The general gritted his teeth and said, "It was the letter written to you by the Prince of Ming Dynasty Zhu Cilang!"

After the words came to an end, the whole tent suddenly became quiet.

Li Zicheng blinked his eyes, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, but he immediately came to his senses and said coldly: "Take the letter, I want to see what that yellow-mouthed child can write!"

The letter was opened and a bloody ear fell out.

Li Zicheng snorted, stepped on his ear, rotated his toes several times, and then kicked away with one kick.

He began to read the letter.

The content is as follows:

“Brother Hongji (Note 1), see the words as if you are a face:

The 3,000 people from Gao Jie's troops given to Brother Hongji have been received. I hope Brother Hongji will continue to work hard, and no less than 100,000 or more.

The capital city is not something that Brother Hongji can touch. If Brother Hongji continues to linger here, he will surely perish himself.

Wang gave a good message to Brother Hongji. Why not go to Liaodong to fight for life and death with the Qing Dynasty? If it could consume one or two troops of the Qing Dynasty, it would be considered to have made contributions to our Ming Dynasty China, and it would be a bit of a strong sense of death.

Since Gao Jie heard that this person may have an affair with Brother Hongji's wife Xing, but I wonder if Brother Hongji needs to kill this villain?

I also heard that Brother Hongji had just obtained his beloved daughter, so please be careful and not be the one who is happy to be a father.

Zhu Cilang wrote it himself."

Li Zicheng's body trembled involuntarily.

Suddenly, Li Zicheng was furious, tore the letter to pieces and screamed.

"The yellow-mouthed child is so angry!"

After saying this, Li Zicheng spurted out blood from his mouth and fell to the sky amid the screams of everyone.

"His Majesty!!"

"Call the doctor!"

...

Amid the sharp sound of gold, the Dashun Army retreated dejectedly.

On the city wall, countless Ming officials cheered.

Above their heads, a trace of dawn appeared quietly in the endless night sky.
