Shaolin Temple has a unique skill called "The Great Power Vajra Finger". If you practice it to a profound level, you can split the metal and stone with one finger. The monk Wuyan happened to know this unique skill!

Gold is a relatively soft metal, and it is very likely to deform after encountering external forces.

Now I know, why is there one missing from the five-clawed golden dragon's claw?

The courage of the Wuyan monk and Xue Yu's plan successfully reversed the unfavorable situation and turned the real emperor envoy, Eunuch Wu, into a prisoner!

But this is not enough to be killed, and it needs another knife!

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, this Eunuch Wu is a regular visitor to Ciqing Palace, and he has a close relationship with Han Benyong and Eunuch Han. The rest is within reach of the prince's intelligence, so I don't need to say more about it!"

Ciqing Palace is the residence of Crown Prince Zhu Changluo!

Han Benyong was an eunuch from Ciqing Palace and Zhu Changluo's confidant eunuch. He was the murderer of the previous court attack and was captured by him!

Xue Yu's sword is fixed, accurate and cruel!

"What, this old eunuch slave is actually the crown prince's man?"

Although he had distinguished the true and false messenger, King Fu Zhu Changxun was still confused. This Eunuch Wu was indeed from the Imperial Horse Supervision Bureau. Why did he come to the Fu Palace to cheat with a fake gold medal? What was his purpose?

And how did a young prisoner fake a gold medal and sneak out of the palace and then pretend to be an emperor envoy?

Now that he heard Xue Yu's words, Zhu Changxun instantly figured it out and figured out the answer by himself:

The father loved him and sent a confidant eunuch, Yu Huatian, to convey the oral order, to make himself the new crown prince!

But this matter was accidentally discovered by the current crown prince, his eldest brother Zhu Changluo.

In horror, the eldest brother came up with a vicious plan in order to keep the position of the crown prince: send his confidant Eunuch Wu to impersonate the emperor's envoy to Luoyang to convey the order!

If you use your own hand to kill the real secret envoy, Lord Yu, then the father will be furious, and the matter of changing the crown prince will be ruined.

What a vicious plan. Fortunately, I have seen through this 'Xibei product!'

"Wang Youzeng, take this old eunuch slave down for severe torture. You must ask for advice!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

"Woo! Woo!"

Eunuch Wu, who was pressing on the ground, wanted to defend himself a few words, but unfortunately his teeth and chin were smashed and he couldn't say a word. He could only whimper in pain a few times, and then was dragged down by the guards.

The ‘supporter’ became a prisoner, and the ‘true messenger’ was naturally a guest. Next, Zhu Changxun set up a banquet in the hall, drank happily with everyone, sang and danced!

One is to celebrate his keen eyes and see through the conspiracy of the "Fake Messenger"!

Secondly, I also apologized to Lord Yu, and I almost wronged the good man before!

Of course, just a banquet is not enough to prove the sincerity of King Fu!

Therefore, when Xue Yu was full of wine and returned to the courtyard, there were several servants following him, carrying five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry!

...

"Just send it here. You guys go back and take it, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you, Lord Yu, for the reward!"

With a few ingots of gold, Xue Yu and the other two walked into the courtyard. After closing the door, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like they had just walked out of the Hall of Hell, and their hearts were beating wildly after fear!

The courtyard was quiet, where did the others go?

Did you feel something is wrong and run away along the tunnel?

In a while, the door opened, and the mouse, the flower snake, the monkey, the big black and five soldiers all came out, and there were not many people!

Xue Yu had previously told that once they heard something strange in the direction of Yin'an Palace, they would immediately escape from the tunnel!

When I captured Eunuch Wu, the Yin'an Palace was in chaos for a while and everyone in the royal palace could hear it!

But none of the four partners and five soldiers escaped, they all stayed in the yard and waited to die, and would rather die together than live!

"You guys...ah!"

Xue Yu was willing to blame him for a few words, but couldn't say anything. Tears flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhang Xiaoqi again. Both of them were proud of having such a loyal partner!

...

"Boss, how did you escape safely?"

"It's hard to describe it, I almost can't see you!"

Next, everyone returned to the house and closed the doors and windows. Xue Yu told the story in detail!

There are three important reasons for being able to escape by chance this time:

First, Xue Yu is too cunning. With his two niches of cleverness, he is not a bad tongue, and he turns black and white into black and white, and makes the real one fake!

Of course, Monk Wuyan and Ziwei Soft Sword also make an indelible contribution!

Second, Eunuch Wu is too stupid and is led by the nose everywhere and unable to play his strengths!

If he does not have a verbal dispute, he confronts things in the palace, such as the Fourth Department, the Eighth Bureau, and the Twelve Prisons are all the eunuchs in charge of the seal?

Or what rules are there in the palace, how many dishes Emperor Wanli eats for each meal, when will he sleep, etc.

If this is the case, Xue Yu would have been exposed long ago!

The third reason, and the most important thing, is that King Fu Zhu Changxun and his subordinates are willing to believe that Xue Yu is the real messenger, and even automatically finds reasons to prove that he is true!

Because only Xue Yu is the real messenger can Zhu Changxun seek to seize the position of crown prince, and officials can get rich with promotion!

If it is fake, this dream will be shattered!

This is one of human nature. You would rather believe in lies that are beneficial to yourself than believe in the truth that is unfavorable to yourself!

People are the most hypocritical existence!

…………

Three days later, the Eunuch Wu confessed. He was indeed instructed by the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo to pretend to be the envoy of the emperor and come to Luoyang to falsely convey the order, and was preparing to take the opportunity to assassinate the Fu King Zhu Changxun!

After confessing, he pressed a bloody handprint on the confession, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain!

Someone must have asked, "Eunuch Wu is obviously a real messenger, so how can he admit that he is a fake?"

The reason is very simple, torture and confession!

Not confessing?

Beat, whip, chili water, and tiger bench together!

Don't confess yet?

Pinboard, bamboo stick, plus red-burned soldering iron!

Grinding your teeth and not confessing?

First, blanch with boiling water, then brush back and forth with an iron brush until the flesh is brushed and the bones are exposed!

...

After three days, Eunuch Wu was tortured to death, without any good skin or a bone that would not break!

In this case, in order to suffer less flesh and blood, you can get whatever you want!

Not to mention pretending to be an envoy and assassinating King Fu, he even admitted that he had confessed to the premeditated rebellion and was preparing to assassinate the current emperor!

Next, the confession was sealed, and then the dying Eunuch Wu and the dozen half-dead men who were also beaten into the prison cart, and the guards of the royal palace were escorted to the capital and handed over to Emperor Wanli for personal disposal!

At the same time, there was also a memorial from King Fu Zhu Changxun, who sued the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo, saying that he "bribed the eunuch, pretended to be an envoy, wanted to commit a crime of brothers and feet" and so on!

Zhu Changxun believed that after the memorial was sent to the palace, coupled with personal evidence, it would be enough to kill the crown prince Zhu Changluo. Is the position of the crown prince soon going to belong to him.

Think about it, your nose is so beautiful that it is bubbling!

At the same time, seeing the dust settled, Xue Yu also offered to say goodbye!

The reason is that he returned to the capital, told the emperor about the incident, proved that Eunuch Wu was assassinated, and helped King Fu with his help!

...

Xue Yu and others came in through the back door and also left through the back door!

King Fu - Zhu Changxun was not easy to come forward, so Wang Youzeng gave it to him on his behalf, and he also sent three carriages, all of which were packed with gold, silver and jewelry.

"Sir, please stay, we will see you later!"

"Sir Yu walked slowly. This is my prince's wish. Please accept it with a smile!"

"oh!"

Before leaving, Wang Youshi took out another box, which was only two feet in size, what was inside?

Gold, silver and jewelry, or house deeds or land deeds?

After opening the box, Xue Yu was shocked. It was not gold, silver and jewelry inside, but a pair of short-handled muskets!

The curved wooden gun handle is inlaid with gold and beautiful patterns. The barrel made of fine iron flashes silver, which is very well maintained!

Next to it are cow horns filled with gunpowder, hundreds of lead balls the size of broad beans, grease for rubbing guns, small brushes for cleaning the gun chamber, etc., and all kinds of tools are extremely complete!

The army of the Ming Dynasty was equipped with a large number of firearms, such as three-eyed muskets, thunder guns, ferry guns, tiger squat cannons, etc., which all exerted great power on the battlefield!
