"Yue, Yue King's Palace, your highness, your Majesty, your Majesty, don't you... Ah, my Majesty, my Majesty, my Majesty..." Wang Ji did not expect that the person in front of him would be the King of Yue, Li Zhen, and he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
He kept kowtowing indiscriminately and stammered nonsense, fearing that even he himself didn't know what he was talking about.
"That's enough." Li Zhen waited for Wang Ji to kowtow enough, and then said slowly, without even bothering to raise his hand.
"Thank you for your grace, your highness. I will repay your highness's kindness with death." Wang Ji got up with a proud face, as if he had taken refuge in Li Zhen.
Oh, this kid really plans to follow me. Damn it, what is the use of such a corrupt, bribery and cowardly person who is afraid of death? Seeing Wang Ji enjoying his performance, Li Zhen really doesn't have the heart to expose it.
This guy, besides, before asking the truth, Li Zhen couldn't decide how to deal with this weakling. She suppressed the boredom in her heart, smiled lightly and said: "Master Wang, you can tell me now, what exactly is the matter?"
Who made you commit such a shocking crime?"
In the darkness, Wang Ji rolled his eyes several times and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this official is acting under orders. Oh, it is really a last resort. However, my heart is with the imperial court."
, Haha, I have some evidence in my hands."
***, you’re still talking about it, damn it! As soon as Li Zhen heard Wang Ji’s words and went around and around without saying who made him do this, his heart suddenly became angry, and he snorted coldly:
"speak!"
"Your Highness, your subordinates have already said it. You see..." Wang Ji did not intend to tell the truth he knew. After all, Li Zhen had not agreed to his request yet. He was afraid that he would tell the truth now.
Li Zhen used evil tricks to burn bridges across rivers.
How could Wang Ji hide his thoughts from Li Zhen? He watched Wang Ji talking about other things, and immediately sneered and said: "I will only say this once: spare the lives of your family and your children. As for you, I will
The king can't guarantee it. Hey, you don't have to say it. As long as you are confident that you can survive my punishment, it's up to you. But, I can't guarantee the lives of your children. You can see for yourself.
Once it’s done, I’ll give you time for a stick of incense. Come on, burn the incense!”
Li Zhen gave an order, and the guards lit the incense. In the dim room, the incense head burned slowly. Wang Jiyi stared at the shrinking incense stick with sweat on his forehead.
The sweat came out immediately. At first it was just a little drop of sweat, and then it started pouring rain. The legs that had been standing straight began to tremble involuntarily. The whole person was shaking like chaff, but his teeth were clenched tightly.
, did not say anything about it.
The incense stick was not long, and the guards deliberately cut off a section of the boss. Not long after it was burned, the incense had burned to the end, leaving only the last bit of light. However, Wang Jiwu did not open his mouth, and Li Zhen suddenly felt helpless.
When the fire started, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a burst of murderous intent suddenly arose. The incense that was about to burn out was rushed by Li Zhen's momentum. It suddenly lit up, then flickered, and then went out quietly, leaving only a pillar of light smoke.
It spreads out.
"I said it, I said it all!" Wang Ji, who had long been unable to bear the energy, saw that the incense was burned out and could no longer hold on. He knelt down in front of Li Zhen and screamed like a slaughtered pig. In this silence,
It looked particularly sad in the dark night.
"Say!" Li Zhen suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Wang Ji's originally burly body had already curled up into a ball, and his face was stained with runny nose or tears, but he replied vigorously while nibbling his head: "
It was His Highness the Crown Prince who asked me to do this. If not for this, even if I had the courage, I would not dare to do it at this time. Your Highness, I have evidence in my hands."
Li Zhen had long guessed that the prince was involved in the incident, but Li Zhen didn't think that the prince was responsible for the whole thing. She also didn't expect that the prince was stupid enough to leave evidence. For a while, she was filled with doubts.
He looked at Wang Jida coldly and said: "Tell me clearly, how did the prince ask you to do this?" "Yes, I will say it now, I will say it now." Wang Ji wiped his tears, calmed down his emotions, and said: "
On the third night of the first lunar month, around 3:00 p.m., the young boy had already fallen asleep. The estimate of the time may not be accurate, but it was about that number. Zhang Shizheng climbed over the courtyard wall into the small room, saying that the prince had told him
, and asked the younger one to take out the weapons from the arsenal, saying that he wanted to give His Highness the King of Yue some good looks. The younger one was not so courageous, so he said that all the items in the arsenal had been accounted for, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to move. If he really wanted to
As for weapons, I can help the prince to make some from the craftsmen who have not stored them in the warehouse, but I can't get so many. I tried to push him away in every possible way, but Zhang Shizheng took out His Highness's token and said that if he dared not
To follow, that is to disobey orders. In the past, some of Xiao Xiao's handles fell into the hands of others. At this time, it was impossible to disobey orders. However, Xiao Xiao was more careful and went to Zhang Shizheng to get the token. Xiao General
This thing is stored in a safe place, and no one can know about it except the little one. As long as His Highness can let me go, I will offer this thing with both hands."
Wang Ji murmured for a long time, and finally said that the so-called evidence was just a crown prince's token. It was not considered evidence at all, and it would be of little use even if he got it. Li Zhen frowned when he heard this.
He frowned, but for no other reason, the prince had a lot of tokens. If he said they were stolen or lost, any excuse could be used to excuse them, right?
"That's all?" Li Zhen was silent for a while and asked coldly.
Li Zhen's question was so cold that the originally cold secret room was now so cold that it could freeze. Perhaps sensing the faint murderous intention in Li Zhen, Wang Ji shivered in fright and hurriedly said:
"Also, Zhang Shizheng gave me a secret letter written by the prince, and asked me to burn it after reading it. However, I was afraid that something would happen, so I didn't do it. The secret letter is still there.
.”
Huh? Is there such a possibility? No, even if the prince is a pig, the people under him are all old gangsters. How could they leave behind such a deadly secret as a bullshit secret letter? Li Zhen can't trust Wang Ji at all.
Then he sneered and said: "How can you keep secret messages? Tell me!"
Seeing that the chill on Li Zhen's body had not subsided, Wang Ji became really anxious and hurriedly said: "Your Highness Mingjian, before joining the army, I ran through the rivers and lakes and learned a few tricks from jugglers.
What was burned in front of Zhang Shizheng was just a piece of white paper, but the real secret message was not burned. If you don't believe it, you can immediately go get the secret message and the token."
Uh-huh, magic? Ha, interesting. It seems that the boss deserves to be unlucky! Although Li Zhen has not yet decided how to deal with the matter, she is very happy at the thought of holding the crown prince's control in her hands, but she does not
He brought it to his face and said in a calm voice: "Only part of the lost items were taken from the prince's place. Who took the rest of the lost items? Where are they now? Huh?"
"Ah." Wang Ji Leng, who was still talking excitedly, suddenly heard Li Zhen raise this question. His whole body shook suddenly and he knelt up straight. His face showed a look of horror, and his eyes rolled around but refused to repeat it again.
Open your mouth.
Hey, there's something fishy, damn, this kid is avoiding the important and taking the easy, using the prince as a shield. Hey, damn, if I don't scare you, you're not telling the truth, damn! You're trying to get away with this little trick,
***, you really think I am a fool! As soon as Li Zhen saw Wang Ji's face, she knew that this boy was not telling the truth. She immediately became extremely interested in the big shot hiding behind the prince, and sneered: "
Although I have a good life, I will not forgive those who deceive me. It is up to you whether you say it or not. You can take care of it yourself."
"I..." Wang Ji had a look of dementia on his face, hesitating and speechless. The sweat that had almost dried up came out again, and his face was twitching. It seemed that the struggle in his heart was extremely intense. Li Zhen was immediately shocked.
I was very surprised. Without him, Wang Ji was obviously afraid of death. But now, facing the situation where his whole family was killed, he didn't even dare to tell who the person behind him was. This shows that Wang Ji was already afraid of that person.
It has reached the bone marrow, otherwise it would not be such a struggle.
"Your Highness, I can say it, but please promise me one thing, otherwise I will never say it even if I die." Wang Ji, who struggled for a long time, finally came to his senses and took a deep breath.
, looking at Li Zhendao with eyes full of expectation.
"Okay, let's talk about it. As long as I can do it, I won't disappoint you." Li Zhen pondered for a while, weighed it repeatedly, and finally agreed to Wang Ji's request.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness. In the next life, I will work as a cow or a horse to repay Your Highness's great kindness." Wang Jike kowtowed vigorously and said: "I don't dare to ask for more, I just hope that Your Highness can protect my family."
The life of the young and old, as long as there is food to eat, the young will tell everything."
Huh? There's something wrong with that! I promised to spare the lives of his family a long time ago, but now I still say, hey, what kind of ambush is this kid planning? Li Zhen felt doubts in her heart, and she calmed down
The voice said: "I never repeat what I have said, you can say it now."
"Your Highness, I heard that there are countless small countries in the Western Region. I have long wanted to see them. If I can send my whole family out of the Tang Dynasty, I will come out." Wang Ji finally revealed his trump card.
Uh-huh, this bastard is not confident about my strength, and is afraid that I can't keep him safe. Hey, it seems that the power of the person behind it is extremely huge, so who could it be? Send this kid out of the way.
It's not difficult, but if this guy leaves like this, wouldn't all the cards in my hand become dead cards? What's the use of knowing who is causing trouble? Li Zhen's mind was moving very fast, but her face was very confused.
He said calmly: "I can only promise to send your family away, but it is not the Western Region but the grassland. Of course, I can ensure that your family has food and clothing, but you can't leave. If you want to say so, just say so.
, I will not force you."
Li Zhen said that he was not forcing himself, but he threatened him with punishment. Obviously, this so-called "not forcing" was just empty talk. Wang Ji was not a fool, so how could he not understand the meaning of these words? He hesitated for a moment.
When Li Zhen opened her mouth, she didn't push him, she just waited silently.
"Okay! I'll say it!" Wang Ji finally couldn't resist the pressure and gritted his teeth and said a name.dd
