However, two eunuchs followed him, holding a thick stack of information in his hands.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Chengen said with a smile at the first sight of Emperor Chongzhen, "The Spaniards basically confessed all of them, and only the one who was the leader was beaten in public by his servants and finally executed in public. The others, etc., wrote a lot, and the servants had to check it out, but there was no difference!"

After saying that, he put the pages of information in his hand on the imperial desk for Emperor Chongzhen to read. As for the two eunuchs, they were the original information, namely the information on the Pacific route and the Atlantic route, as well as the confession letter of the American situation.

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and picked up the summary information and read it. Perhaps, the Pacific route was similar to the situation he asked Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to verify. As for the Atlantic route and the Americas, it was similar to the impression he had in his later memories.

After reading it, he took out the basic information about the Spaniards he had recognized before, pointed to it and said, "Take out the confession books of the names of these people I have enclosed."

When Wang Chengen heard this, he quickly directed the two eunuchs to join him. In just a short while, he put all the corresponding information on the imperial case.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the confession books named John, then looked at the others, nodded with satisfaction, and told Wang Chengen: "These Spaniards do not need to be detained alone, so they can arrange two yards in the inn, but they cannot be discharged from the yard. However, the ten people I have circled can each accompany a translator and allow them to visit the capital for a day, and each person will be given a consumption limit of five taels of silver. Pay attention, just give the banknotes."

"Your Majesty's emperor's grace is so great that those Spanish will definitely be grateful." Wang Chengen was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Emperor Chongzhen was so troublesome, but this did not prevent him from flattering him casually.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and asked him to do things, while he himself began to continue reading each original confession book. After Wang Chengen finished, he still had the next move to continue. He believed that with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the treatment of the Spaniards, there would be no problem in letting them fight the Spaniards from now on.

In this era, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in Europe, there was no concept of a nation-state. Especially those who could not survive in their own country and took risks would not have any special favors for their own country.

The captain who was killed by Wang Chengen was an officer of the Spanish, a small nobleman, and the commander of two ships heading to Luzon. He probably knew that the Ming Dynasty asked them to provide two routes and the situation in the Americas would be unfavorable to their Mexico and even the headquarters of Europe in the Americas, so he would cheat.

It was almost evening, and John was in a daze in a room. He was a smart man and he didn't want to die, so he did not dare to violate the requirements of Ming officials. Moreover, he believed that since he wanted to confess, he had to confess well and strive to do his best. Only in this way can he get enough benefits from it.

John was not a fool for the requests of Ming officials, so he naturally understood what the Ming people wanted to do. But what did those have to do with him? What would the Ming people do if they like!

After confessing, no Ming Dynasty officials came over again. He circled around the wing room, touched the tables and chairs, looked at the calligraphy and paintings, and sighed from time to time that these things in Ming Dynasty were simply works of art. Just the tables and chairs had various carvings, which was really luxurious!

In a blink of an eye, there was only everything he saw in his mind.

I don't know when, suddenly, the door of the wing room was pushed open. He turned around and saw that it was the translator. Just as he was about to squeeze out a smile and talk, he heard the translator say to him: "Come out and follow me."

"Okay, okay!" John agreed repeatedly, but he felt a little nervous. He didn't know what else to do in Mingguo. If you think about it carefully, it seems that all the confessions should be confessed, have they already confessed?

At this time, he was a little worried, and was afraid that they would turn against each other after Mingguo used up.

When he walked out of the wing, John saw other companions walking out of the house one after another. It could be seen that they were worried on their faces.

However, even if they are worried, it is useless. They even dare not speak to each other, for fear of arousing dissatisfaction among Ming officials. The captain was beaten and executed in public before, but not long after.

John noticed that his companions were more and more, and they were led to a yard not far away. This yard was huge and there were many houses. An arched door in the yard was connected to the adjacent yard.

After gathering, the Ming officials explained to them: "From today, you can walk around freely in these two yards. The factory will come in person tomorrow morning."

After saying this, all the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty retreated, leaving only a group of Spanish who were a little stunned in the yard.

After a while, the Spaniards came back to their senses and couldn't believe it. Because from the improved treatment, it seemed that they no longer had to worry, at least they didn't have to worry about the ending like those Dutch people. In a surprise, they couldn't help but talk to each other. After all, they had been imprisoned alone for several days. At this time, what the group animals needed most was communication and a sense of security.

"God bless us, right?"

"I don't know what the Ming people will do to us, should we let us go back, or let us dig a hole?"

"Didn't the Ming Dynasty officials say that we can become Ming Dynasty people?"

"How is it possible? You really believe it? It's impossible to let us go back. It's possible to become a Ming Dynasty person and then dig a hole!"

"Yes, just like we were in the colonies to those natives, for the Ming Dynasty, we were no different from those natives!"

“…”

However, John was obviously different from them. When they were discussing with anxiety and fear, he had already looked at the house behind him, and rushed in and grabbed the house.

Only after his actions did the others come to their senses and stopped chatting immediately. They all imitated John. They felt that the house was good, so they quickly snatched it first.

But there are only two yards, and there are many people in their house, and in the end, there are still many people in one room, especially the master bedroom. Although it is spacious and has a large bed, four Spanish people squeeze one bed. This made John cry without tears. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to grab the smaller room first.
