Chapter 45 You have the talent of Jinyiwei

Since Zhang Yong followed the future carpenter emperor, he has also become a carpenter. When assisting Zhu Youxiao in carpentry work together, Zhang Yong often told Zhu Youxiao some of his ideas in his mind, and also drew design drawings, and asked Zhu Youxiao to do it.

For example, windmills, new water wheels, vehicles, four-wheeled carriages and other toys.

Zhu Youxiao is really a genius carpenter. As long as Zhang Yong can draw, he can make models. Of course, Zhang Yong cannot draw impossible tasks such as steam engines for Zhu Youxiao.

The carpenter emperor was very interested in making things, but after testing the finished products, they threw them all to their younger brothers and sisters for fun, and they ignored them and then buried their heads in making a new toy.

"Don't underestimate the water truck, my lord, if we can use the water truck to drive the machine tool, then you can save a lot of effort when you plan the wood chips." Zhang Yong drew a picture of the hydraulic sawing machine.

Water conservancy machinery laid the foundation for the industrial revolution before the invention of the steam engine!

Some people later said that Tianqi was a good carpenter, but unfortunately they had the wrong family and were born in the imperial family. Zhang Yong sneered at this: If Tianqi was not born in the imperial family, but in a craftsman family, could he become a master? Of course it is impossible. How low is the status of the craftsman in the Ming Dynasty? No matter how good you make, is it not the civil servant's credit for the civil servant?

The word "Official" is opened, and the upper and lower lips are touched. The military achievements of the soldiers and the hard-working works of the craftsmen have all become the contributions of civil servants. Of course, there are also good civil servants like Zhao Shizhen, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Song Yingxing, but there are too few good civil servants.

Zhang Yong thought of Jiu Qiansui from the whimsical industrial revolution. Why was Jiu Qiansui killed by the seventeen-year-old Chongzhen? He just didn't have military power. Military power? His good brother didn't know how it was now. He should have enough credit for his contributions and should return to Beijing. After he came back, he used his relationship in the palace to help him get the military power.

In fact, Zhang Yong sometimes couldn't understand. How could such a powerful figure appear in history without a powerful general like Gao Shixin? Could it be that history has changed because of his time travel? Perhaps without his time travel, Gao Shixin had already died in Sarhu, and Zhang Yongyuan's own master was also killed. When he came here, everything changed. Perhaps he was Gao Shixin's life-saving benefactor.

He also thought that Gao Shixin would have traveled through time like him? Because the beating of Fan Yongdou made him suspicious, but there was no evidence. Forget it, don’t think about this matter. Regardless of whether he is a time traveler like himself, he is a good brother. The two of them cooperate with each other, one in literature and one in martial arts, and brothers can break the gold!

Alas, when will I go back to Beijing? If nothing unexpected happens, my good brother should have entered the palace. He has a brain, and maybe there will be no more Eunuch Wei in history from now on, or maybe Eunuch Zhang in history. Gao Shi, who was far away in Kaiyuan, has been thinking about his little brother in his heart.

He knew that the little brother was very smart and would definitely be able to assist him in the future. It has been more than half a year since he arrived in the Ming Dynasty. After more than half a year of hardship, Gao Shixin finally knew how powerful the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty suppressed military generals.

If he hadn't decisively killed the seventh-rank official Zheng Zhifan, Kaiyuan would have been in the hands of the wild boar skin at this time. After the old slave withdrew his troops, Gao Shixin and Malin, as well as his two lackeys Man Gui and Huang Degong, interrogated the detained merchants one by one.

"We must be interrogated separately. The evidence we have not had enough, so we can only separate them and dismiss them one by one, and we cannot give them a chance to collude with them." said Gao Shixin.

However, a few hours later, the two lackeys Man Gui and Huang Degong came back in dejectedly.

"Brother, those profiteers are all stubborn. We have insufficient evidence. I tortured a few of them, either they are very stubborn or they really don't know anything." Man Gui said depressedly.

Even the highest commander in Kaiyuan City now, Ma Lin couldn't ask anything. The profitable merchants not only spoke stubbornly, but also threatened Ma Lin loudly, saying that there were people in the court that they would let Ma Lin and others go as far as they could go. Otherwise, some people in the court would make them, such vulgar warriors, look good!

"Is it true that your mouth is very hard? Will you not torture them? You must pry their mouths open even if you pry them!" Gao Shixin said disapprovingly.

Malin shook his head with a laugh and cry: "We are not Jinyiwei, we have whipped and beaten the stick, but not only did those guys not say a useful word, but instead cursed and asked us to see."

"Ma Junmen, you can put a knife around their necks, threaten them, and kill him without saying anything."

"It's useless. Those guys knew at a glance that they were licking blood from the blade. Not to mention putting the knife on their necks, they would say that they threatened to kill his whole family. They were not afraid."

Lao Ma said something is really correct. If capital has 50% profit, it will take risks; if it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if it has 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime or even the danger of being hanged. This sentence is correct. Which of the profitable merchants in the late Ming Dynasty did not do the serious crime of extermination of the nine clans? But they just dared to do it!

Many merchants here really came over with blood from the knife. They traded with the Jurchens and the Mongols. They were blackmailed by officers and soldiers along the way, robbed by horse thieves, and sometimes even the goods they transported to the Later Jin Dynasty were robbed by the Mongols; the goods transported to the Mongols were robbed by the Jurchens. These merchants came over with fighting and killing. After seeing the blood, they were not afraid of death.

If you grit your teeth and refuse to confess, can those vulgar martial artists really kill their whole family? I'm so funny. My family is all in the pass, and even in the capital. If you have the ability, you can fly back and kill! If you confess and the confession is taken back to the capital, then the family will be really dead! Even if the Jinyiwei doesn't take them down, the civil servants who serve as their backstage will kill their whole family!

Thinking of this, Gao Shixin smiled and said, "Ma Junmen, it depends on the humble ones. I believe that as long as I come forward, I will definitely let them speak."

He had read a lot of books about the Jinyiwei in his previous life, such as washing, playing the pipa, wearing mourning and other funerals, but he could not use these here. If he didn't get the confession, he would kill someone. If someone went to the capital to complain, it would be difficult to deal with. After all, he was not Jinyiwei.

"Yes, there is a good way. You can not leave any scars on them, and you can ask them to confess!" Gao Shixin suddenly thought of a good way. He said to Man Gui, Huang Degong and other lackeys, "You go and get the basin, bucket and towel!"

Huang Degong immediately walked out and soon picked up a bucket, with a basin and towel on it.

"Get a few more buckets of water, the more the better." said Gu Shixin.

Not long after, the preparations for torture were completed. Man Gui and Huang Degong widened their eyes and looked at Gao Shixin's inexplicable operation in surprise: Gao Shixin asked someone to raise the foot of the criminal, tie it on a stool, lay a wooden board on the ground, tie the criminal's hands on the wooden board, and then soaked the towel in the water and covered the criminal's face.

"Is this useful?" Huang Degong asked.

Gao Shixin picked up a wooden spoon, and almost forgot that this wooden spoon was a wooden spoon that had scooped gold juice while defending the city. It was not washed clean. There were still some black and yellow things sticking to it, and there was still a slight sour smell. In the water, there were also some good ingredients added by Gao Shixin, such as asking his young follower Huang Degong to travel to the reincarnation place of the grains, and getting some good things left after the last time made gold juice, and adding it to the water, and suddenly a foul smell was emitted in the cell.

He put the wooden spoon into the wooden bucket, scooped a scoop of water, and slowly poured it on the towel.

The prisoner had no reaction at first, but when the second scoop of water was poured on the towel, the prisoner struggled desperately and wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered by a towel. As long as he opened his mouth, a stream of stinky water would be poured into his mouth. Even if he didn't open his mouth, it would be fine. The smelly water was poured into his nostrils, so it felt so sour.

"How is it? Will it be a sensation?" Gao Shixin asked.
