Chapter 175: I Didn't Expect You To Be So Easy To Lie
The third prince looked at Chen Changfeng without knowing why.
Zhang Baifang’s confession?
What was special about his confession?
Zhang Baifang and others were also stunned on the spot.
They all remembered that they only admitted to dealing with Chen Changfeng and nothing else.
If the third prince only wanted to protect himself and others, the things they confessed would actually be nothing.
Liu Shuwen also looked at Chen Changfeng suspiciously. He was worried that today's affairs would end badly.
Chen Qingzhi quickly brought the confessions from Zhang Baifang and others: "Prince, this is a confession."
Chen Changfeng did not take it and signaled Chen Qingzhi to hand the confession to the third prince.
The third prince hesitated for a moment, and then took the confession from Zhang Baifang and others.
After just one glance, the third prince's face instantly turned gloomy and ugly.
Zhang Baifang actually said in his confession that it was his third prince who ordered him to join forces with Li Fengxian to kill the crown prince Chen Changfeng.
The third prince's heart suddenly surged with anger. When did he let Zhang Baifang and Li Fengxian unite?
"I haven't made this confession public yet. I don't believe that my third brother would instruct Zhang Baifang to assassinate me, so I kept this confession secret."
"But if Third Brother hadn't killed Zhang Baifang to vent his anger for me, I'm afraid this confession would..." Chen Changfeng said slowly with a smile on his lips.
Of course the third prince knew what Chen Changfeng meant.
Chen Changfeng was threatening himself unabashedly.
But if this confession is known to everyone, and the third prince instructs Zhang Baifang and others to join forces with Li Fengxian to deal with the prince Chen Changfeng, how will the third prince explain to the world?
The third prince strongly suspected that this confession was a false confession made by Chen Changfeng, but he did not dare to ask Zhang Baifang for confirmation.
What if Zhang Baifang really said this?
Or maybe Chen Changfeng has other plans?
Like making this false confession true!
The third prince has now revealed the contents of his confession and continues to defend Zhang Baifang and others. What if he himself is involved later?
"Lao Liu, your confession is false." The third prince pondered for a long time, and his mind slowly calmed down.
He looked into Chen Changfeng's eyes sharply, trying to see some clues in Chen Changfeng's eyes.
He felt that if this confession was true, why would Chen Changfeng tell him so much? He must have made it public as soon as possible to make the soldiers hate him.
But the third prince was worried that Chen Changfeng had deliberately set a trap for him, so he stared at him and announced his confession, and then Chen Changfeng would make himself more angry.
If that is the case, the third prince will not be able to stay here in the future.
But Chen Changfeng just looked at the third prince with a smile, and seemed not to hear the third prince's question just now.
The third prince's heart sank. The more indifferent Chen Changfeng was, the more uneasy he felt and the more he felt that Chen Changfeng had some conspiracy.
Chen Changfeng was full of tricks, and the third prince suffered too much at the hands of Chen Changfeng. At this moment, he was not sure whether this confession was true or false.
Once the confession is true and the third prince himself reveals the matter, it will really be the end of the world.
But if the third prince really orders the disposal of Zhang Baifang and others, will the people around him question his ability in the future?
Can't even protect your subordinates?
Besides, he had just said that it was impossible for him to kill Zhang Baifang and others, and now he personally ordered their execution. What would the soldiers think of him?
Having just delivered the edict, and now bowing his head in front of Chen Changfeng, what prestige will he, the third prince, have in the future?
"Your Highness." Zhang Baifang suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the third prince holding the confession without speaking.
Liu Shuwen was also surprised that the third prince, who was so powerful just now, suddenly became mute after receiving the testimony.
Is it possible that this testimony is different from what I saw?
Liu Shuwen had read the confessions of Zhang Baifang and others, otherwise he would not have let Chen Changfeng execute Zhang Baifang and others here.
Things are a little strange.
"Third brother, do you know why I didn't make this confession public?" Chen Changfeng's words made the third prince unable to react for a moment.
"Why?" the third prince asked subconsciously.
"If I make this confession public and Third Brother is my enemy, then I will definitely deal with Third Brother, for example, find an opportunity to reunite Third Brother and Fourth Brother." Chen Changfeng's voice sounded faintly.
Goosebumps appeared on the third prince's back.
Chen Changfeng, this lunatic, actually wanted to kill himself, just like he had killed the Fourth Prince!
The third prince took a few steps back and looked at Chen Changfeng with a livid face.
Coming here this time, what the third prince is most worried about is that Chen Changfeng is desperate to kill him.
"Third brother, don't be afraid. I'm just talking. But this confession was dictated by them, and they want to kill me. If my father knows about this, third brother, do you think my father will let them go?"
"After all, I am the prince and the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty. If my third brother stops me from killing them, what will my father think?" Chen Changfeng was persuasive.
The third prince's expression slowly calmed down.
He felt that Chen Changfeng seemed to have some truth in what he said. He was preventing these people from being executed, but they wanted to kill Chen Changfeng.
Killing the prince is a major crime against the nine clans. If I stop it, am I their accomplice?
But killing them...
"The third brother personally ordered them to be killed here. The soldiers will definitely feel that the third brother has a clear understanding of the distance between them and enforces the law properly. The third brother's prestige in the army will naturally increase."
"What will the soldiers think if I don't kill them? They all know that Zhang Baifang and others want to kill me." Chen Changfeng spoke again, with a smile on his face.
The third prince clenched his fists.
After listening to Chen Changfeng's words, he found that he had no other choice but to personally order the killing of Zhang Baifang and others.
"Your Highness, if you really don't kill them, then let them go back as soon as possible so that I can report it to His Majesty the Emperor." Chen Qingzhi's sudden words made the Third Prince feel nervous.
He didn't care about anything else, but if the emperor knew about his defense of the murderer, would he still be able to reap the rewards?
Chen Changfeng killed his fourth son, but the emperor did not even take his life or even punish him.
This shows that the emperor attached great importance to Chen Changfeng.
If I am defending the murderer who assassinated Chen Changfeng, then...
The third prince gritted his teeth. At this moment, he regretted speaking those words before. He thought that Chen Changfeng would be embarrassed in front of the soldiers, but he didn't expect that he would lose face now.
"Kill!" The third prince spat out one word, which actually felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
Liu Shuwen's expression suddenly changed.
The third prince actually said he wanted to kill Zhang Baifang and others?
Zhang Baifang and the other twenty-one people, who originally had hope, were all stunned when they heard the third prince's order.
"Your Highness, you have to save us."
"Your Highness, we are loyal to you."
"Your Highness, save me!"
Zhang Baifang and others struggled desperately, but the soldiers pinned them to the ground and could not move.
The third prince closed his eyes. He seemed to have felt the strange looks from the soldiers.
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive. You can believe me just by saying a few words."
"The part about Third Brother in this confession was actually made up by me. I didn't expect Third Brother to believe it so easily. Third Brother, remember to be more careful in the future." Chen Changfeng's voice sounded, and the Third Prince suddenly opened his eyes,
