If Chen Luoyu still complained about injustice and really fought to the death, maybe there would be a chance of survival. Unfortunately, his silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
In just half a stick of incense, Qiu Wanshan revealed Chen Luoyu's true face in a few words.
Now Chen Luoyu didn't look like a prisoner, nor did he look like a gambler who had lost all his family fortune. Sitting there, instead of panicking, he looked at Qiu Wanshan with curiosity and seemed to be extremely interested.
Qiu Wanshan also looked at Chen Luoyu: "Chen Siqing dares to take up a post in the capital at such a turbulent time. As the minister of Honglu Temple, you have extraordinary courage and wisdom. I also admire you."
“To achieve great things, you need courage and wisdom.”
Lin Kui blurted out and asked: "What's the big deal?"
Qiu Wanshan was so angry that he glared at Lin Hu fiercely.
Chu Qing was also extremely helpless: "Brother Di, from now on, you are not allowed to speak, okay?"
"Oh, okay."
Qiu Wanshan stepped forward, gently took off the thin thread from Chen Luoyu's thumb, and shook his head slightly: "I have heard about you, a famous Confucian from Guanghuai Dao in the East China Sea. If you lose your thumb, how will you write poems and paintings in the future."
"Oh?" Chen Luoyu raised his eyebrows: "Old man, do you still have a chance to write poetry and paint?"
"Then it depends on how many people are involved in the assassination."
"What do you mean?"
"Credit!"
"Credit?"
"Yes, there are ups and downs in the official world. I, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, want credit, and the commander of Qianqiying also wants credit. Without credit, how can he rise to the top? What's the point of just arresting the minister of Honglu Temple who just joined the job?
It’s hard to calm the emperor’s anger, but what if…”
Chen Luoyu's breathing was a little heavy and he said: "If not only the minister of Honglu Temple is involved in this major rebellion, but also more powerful people and more ministers in the court are uprooted, Qianqiying will not only arrest
Killing the assassin will also eliminate future crises, which is a great achievement!"
"No, no, no, no." Qiu Wanshan's smile grew thicker, he shook his head and said: "If there is really someone with high authority and influence in the court who planned this matter, the minister of Honglu Temple will report it and identify the rebels.
, wouldn’t it be better?”
"Ha ha ha ha."
Chen Luoyu laughed wildly: "Qiu, do you think I am such an idiot? Why should I believe you?"
"If you don't identify me, you will die and your family will be destroyed. If I lie to you, you will still die and your family will be destroyed."
"Then why should I believe you?"
Qiu Wanshan played with the thin thread in his hand, retreated to the wall, and said lightly: "I don't know the benefits promised to you by the thief, and I can't give it to you. I don't know what the Jingzhong family promised you, and I can't give it to you either.
But I only know..."
"You only know what?"
"I just know that no matter what was promised or promised, if your Chen family can't get it, what will a dead person get?"
Chen Luoyu's eyes twitched, and his face looked gloomy and uncertain.
"You don't need to trust me. You only need to think about how many aristocratic families are involved in this matter in the East China Sea. Courtiers, how many aristocratic families are involved in this matter. You only need to think about it. Commander Chu will go to the East China Sea. Once he goes to the East China Sea, he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
, but if you are Commander Chu, you need the help of your Chen family. If you are the Chen family, are you willing to help Commander Chu catch him in the East China Sea? You still have value that Commander Chu can use. Commander Chu is a smart man. You
, he is also a smart man. If you were the commander of Chu, would you kill and destroy the Chen family? No, no, because there are still many Chen families. If you want to destroy more Chen families, you must have support in the East China Sea.
The people who drive you, the people who let you off the Chen family, can destroy more Chen families, why not do it, Chen Siqing, what do you think?"
"It's a joke. Even if I surrender to you, how can you ensure that Qianqiying will not settle the score after taking advantage of me?"
"My officer, I can't guarantee it. You need to think of your own solution."
Qiu Wanshan threw away the thin thread in his hand and said slowly: "But at least, you will not die today, and you will not die tomorrow. You will not die before Commander Chu goes to the East China Sea. You will not die before Commander Chu captures other aristocratic families in the East China Sea."
Death, and during this period, while you are alive, you have to think of ways to avoid being settled by Commander Chu. But if you still refuse to gamble once, you will die today. If you don’t die today, you will die tomorrow.
, If you don’t die tomorrow, you will die before Commander Chu goes to the East China Sea. The Chen family members will also die. If you die today, will you die in a few months? If you die today, will you die in a few months. If you think of a way to survive, Chen Siqing, are you?
Smart people naturally know how to choose."
Qiu Wanshan smiled a little and continued: "Even if I swear by it, even if Commander Chu swears by it, even if the emperor says in front of everyone in the world that he will spare your life, Chen Luoyu, and spare your Chen family,
Will you believe it? No, you won't believe it, because you know better than anyone else that oaths and promises are just bullshit. You don't believe anyone, and you don't have to believe anyone. You only need to believe in yourself.
, I believe that you have the means and methods to prove your worth, so that Commander Chu can let go of his guard a little, and thus... escape from Commander Chu's hands. It is better to save your life for now. It is better to die tomorrow than to die today.
, Chen Siqing, you are a smart person, a truly smart person. Smart people know how to make choices. In order to survive, they should do whatever they can. Smart people will also believe in themselves and should fight to the death instead of like now.
If you are like this, you would rather die than say anything, and if so, you are not a smart person, and I have also misjudged you, and I look down upon you in my heart."
After finishing speaking, Qiu Wanshan fell into silence and waited patiently.
Chen Luoyu's face looked like someone was fighting in the open air.
Chu Qing looked back at Lin Kui and whispered: "Have you learned it?"
Lin Kui nodded.
This is the first time in my life that I regret so much. I regret that I didn’t read or recognize words or anything. Playing with knives is not as good as playing with your brain.
Chen Luoyu finally figured it out, took a deep breath, and growled: "I am naturally a smart man!"
Qiu Wanshan also smiled, without any surprise on his face. He knew that Chen Luoyu would definitely choose to "live". Everyone needs a life-saving straw, but some people are very rational when death comes.
Knowing that straw cannot save lives, at this time, what is handed out is no longer straw, but a visible and tangible wooden board that can really save lives.
Seeing Chen Luoyu starting to hit the road, Qiu Wanshan said to Chu Qing: "Change the person to a gentle man."
Glancing at Lin Hu slightly, Qiu Wanshan showed a slight disdain: "Let this fool do this job, no wonder Chen Siqing kept silent."
Lin Kui puffed up his chest: "I can also be very polite."
Chu Qing: "Get out."
Lin Shi: "Oh."
Chen Luoyu took a deep look at Qiu Wanshan. Even though they were not in the same camp, he couldn't help but feel a certain fondness for Mr. Qiu.
But what he didn't know was that most of the people killed by Mr. Qiu had a good impression of Mr. Qiu before they died.
Chu Qing nodded repeatedly and left with Mr. Qiu arm in arm, planning to let Nangong Ping take charge of this matter when his friend came back.
The three of them came out of the cell. Chu Qing clasped his fists and said with a playful smile: "Brother Qiu is indeed Brother Qiu. Please come here often when you have nothing to do."
Qiu Wanshan looked at the sun in the sky, but did not smile. He said softly: "After asking what you want to know, kill that Chen Luoyu."
"Ah?" Chu Qing asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you'd wait until he helped me kill other East China Sea families before you kill him?"
"Listen to Brother Yu, once this Chen Luoyu escapes, there are thousands of ways to kill you, but don't even think about letting him temporarily abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side for your use. Assassinating the prince is a serious crime, and it is also a rebellion against the Tian family.
Even if it has value and extremely high value, it is not worth displeasing the emperor. Remember, what protects you is not merit, but the emperor's trust in you. Kill him to avoid future troubles!"
Chu Qing said nothing more and nodded slightly.
Mr. Qiu's judgment has always been correct. After asking for the information, he killed the old dog!
