"Your Majesty, you have done many evil things and are timid. After all, you, the majestic emperor, still dare not announce to the world that you want to seize the wife of a minister? Mr. Yue is loyal and brave, and he is a hero. How could Mrs. Yue abandon him and choose an unscrupulous, cruel and despicable man? A trivial person?”
Zhao Deji gritted his teeth: "Tianwei, I am giving you a chance! Don't be ignorant of your blessings."
"Do you think I can persuade Mrs. Yue to do so?"
"Tianwei, this is your last chance! It's also Hua Rong's last chance!"
"Your Majesty, Taizu's official family has sworn to protect the ministers, and the crime is not as bad as the family members."
"If I hadn't saved her, she would have been in the Dali Temple prison like you right now! Tianwei, why can't you think about me? Can't you think about the country of the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Deji said, "Heartbroken", " Tianwei, you are my biological sister, and everything should go to your ninth brother, right? When you came back from the Kingdom of Jin, I gave you countless glory and wealth. However, not only did you not want to repay, but you turned your back on me. "Bend outward, Tianwei, why are you like this?"
Tianwei stared at his hypocritical face for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think I hate most now?"
"What?"
"Had I known this, I would rather die in humiliation in the Jin Kingdom than return to the Song Dynasty and return to the 'Nine Brothers' who are even more despicable than the Jin people. I will go underground to meet the ancestors and clans of the Song Dynasty The Queen Mother... 'Brother Ninth', we are all waiting for you, waiting for you under the Nine Springs!"
Zhao Deji stood up and said: "Pull it down, we will execute you on time tomorrow and kill this cheap maid who pretends to be a princess!"
"yes!"
However, in order to kill the fake princess, she must confess to the law. Although it is just a matter of procedure, Zhao Deji must have a "clear conscience" and Tianwei must confess. At first, Tianwei refused no matter what. He confessed, but the iron bond oath that "punishment will not lead to golden branches and jade leaves" was completely invalidated by Zhao Deji. When the jailers saw that the sentence was approaching, they naturally resorted to any means. After more than a dozen lashes, Tianwei's shoulders were dripping with blood.
She fainted and was woken up by a basin of ice water. In a daze, she heard the Minister of Dali Temple asking: "Who are you pretending to be a princess? Why don't you recruit her from the real person?"
She said sadly: "I am indeed not a princess..."
The Minister of Dali Temple was overjoyed: "Confess early so that you won't suffer physical pain. Tell me quickly, your true identity?"
Yes, what is your true identity? The desolate and unscrupulous father led to the destruction of the country and the family. Now, there is an elder brother who is even more desolate and cruel than the father. What does it matter to such a father and brother whether he is their daughter or their sister
"I am nameless and an orphan. I have been living in a nunnery since I was a child. I chant sutras and worship Buddha all day long. Because I look like a princess, by chance, I envy the wealth and honor, so I entered the palace and pretended to be a princess..."
"Who was instigating this behind you? Tell me quickly, was it instigated by Yue Pengju and his wife?"
Tianwei laughed, a trace of blood flowing down the corner of her mouth, with a very mysterious expression: "No, no, no, it's not them. The person who instigated me is actually..."
Several interrogators were overjoyed. They all pricked up their ears and opened their eyes wide to hear her big secret.
"Tell me, who is it?"
"It's Qin Hui and Wang Junhua."
The recording official stopped writing and didn't know how to continue writing for a while. The presiding judge suddenly felt ridiculous and scolded: "Nonsense."
Tianwei shook her head: "I was imprisoned in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, together with Qin Hui and Wang Junhua. Wang Junhua was the concubine of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince gave the couple a lot of wealth and asked them to return to the Song Dynasty. They bribed people to get through and became the Fourth Prince. The prince's internal support, the fourth prince guaranteed him to be the lifelong prime minister of the Song Dynasty... "
The recording officer asked, "Will this be recorded?"
The presiding judge nodded.
Tianwei laughed, her heart hurt, and she vomited out another mouthful of black blood. She raised her head and saw that the lights had been withdrawn. It was dark night, and the night was all around her, and the day would never light up again.
…
She explained in great detail that although several of the interrogating officials were Qin Hui's party members, two of them were not. Everyone heard that something was very strange, and in addition, the article "Qin Hui was a meticulous work" that had made a lot of noise in the past few days , and Tianwei’s every word is accurate and does not look like fabrication at all.
The interrogation room was quiet for a while. Because the matter was so important, no one dared to interrupt easily. After a while, the presiding officer announced the termination of the interrogation, took all the official letters, and left for the capital hall.
On this day, Qin Hui happened to be away, so the presiding officer followed Zhao Deji's instructions to sort out the relevant documents and report them secretly to Zhao Deji.
Zhao Deji was distraught and was waiting for a banquet with Mr. Liu. The bruises on Mr. Liu's body had not faded yet, but he did not dare not to flatter him and forced a smile. Zhang Yingying stood by and read the memorial for him. The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. Tianwei Before she died, she even made a big fuss about Qin Hui's identity, and also mentioned that Wan Wan's death was also caused by Qin Hui and his wife. Halfway through her words, Zhao Deji waved his hand and frowned, and Zhang Yingying immediately stopped talking.
When Xiao Liu and others heard about Wanwan's death, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to let go. They held their breath and looked at Zhao Deji quietly.
Zhao Deji was not moved at all. He was not ignorant of these things, especially about the identity of Qin Hui and his wife. As smart as he was, he had predicted it almost from the beginning. But in his layout, if there was no such thing in the court, For a staunch peace advocate like Qin Hui, how long will it take for his ideal of becoming the Emperor of Peace to be realized
He rubbed his head and sneered: "Yue Pengju yells and kills every day and fights to fulfill his personal heroism. But how can the weakened Song Dynasty cope with successive years of war? The Jin people are defeated, what a big deal If we, the Song Dynasty, are defeated, our country will be destroyed. The Jingkang disaster has not yet passed, and these warriors do not want peace. Do they want me to experience the life of being a prisoner in the north? Yue Pengju can guarantee that he will do it? Can you defeat this girl Tianwei, when she is about to die, not only does she not think about my affection for her, but she bites back and wants me to kill Qin Hui, her master. Her evil intentions are really outrageous... "
Zhang Yingying and others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and naturally they understood that what the officials had said was to preserve the wealth of the emperor in Jiangnan. Even if they became ministers, they would still demand peace and stop the war.
However, who dares to say another word
The morning light is coming over a quiet house outside Lin'an City.
A few purple magnolias broke through the blockade of snowflakes and bloomed overnight from the bare branches. Jin Wushu stood by the window, admiring the strange scenery of the south. In his hometown, the sky was filled with ice and snow. In comparison, this scene in Lin'an The heavy snow is like child's play, but the winter in the north is so bleak that everything is not like this southern style. In the ice and snow, the trees are full of flowers blooming proudly.
He asked people to move chairs and sit in the hot pavilion. The hot pavilion flower hall is also a specialty of the South. It is an insulated place on the underground floor. Inside, a large red iron dragon is burned with smokeless high-quality coal, put into the pool water, and covered with beautiful marble. Covered with a beautiful Suzhou embroidered carpet, people in the house will feel as warm as spring.
Being in such a pleasant environment, he didn't feel much comfort. This southern country was not as wonderful as he had imagined. A few days ago, the medicine that Yue Pengju and his wife designed for him to take, what level of blood has it reached? Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but tremble with fear. He had calculated everything, but who knew he would fall into such a vicious trap and be controlled by others
He looked at his right hand, which had two broken fingers, and gritted his teeth. It was this woman again, and he had fallen into the hands of this couple time and time again. He didn't know what kind of grievances he had caused with them in his previous life. Maybe, he simply didn't You shouldn't come to Lin'an at this time.
He stood up and looked at the beautiful country, and his initially regretful thoughts became firm again - there are so many beautiful places, and no one can conquer them overnight, without paying any price, to own the world.
It was approaching noon, and he felt a little hungry. The maid had already served sumptuous dishes. He looked at them, but he didn't have much intention to taste them.
Wu Qimai hurried in, looking a little uneasy: "Fourth Prince, look..."
Jin Wushu's expression changed suddenly as he took the notice. The notice was the edict issued by Zhao Deji, announcing to the world that at three quarters of noon tomorrow, the "fake princess" Tianwei would be killed at the Meridian Vegetable Market.
Jin Wushu couldn't believe his eyes. How did he order Qin Hui? How dare this pair of bastards disobey their orders? Once Tianwei died, according to Hua Rong's temperament, how could he let her go
He crumpled the article into a ball and said angrily: "Go to Qin Hui quickly. This evil dog dares to betray this prince... Go find him!"
Wu Qimai hesitated: "Fourth Prince, it may be too late. Zhao Deji's list has been made public to the world, and the edict will be issued immediately, so it is no longer possible to change it."
"Zhao Deji changed his order overnight, what's impossible about it? Go find Qin Hui. Hurry..."
Wu Qimai did not dare to disobey, so he had to go out in a hurry.
As soon as Wu Qimai left, Jin Wushu suddenly became frightened. The dogs he raised had turned into two huge wild dogs at some point. Will they jump up and bite their owner at any time? He didn't even reveal this secret residence to Wang Junhua. He was secretly on guard. He originally thought it was absolutely safe, but now he had doubts. He immediately summoned a hundred plainclothes elite bodyguards he had secretly brought, and they were ready at any time. Be prepared to escape Lin'an.
As for Qin Hui and Wang Junhua, how should they deal with it
As for Qin Hui, as soon as Tian Wei's interrogation ended, his informant immediately reported the news to him in time. Qin Hui and Wang Junhua were mentally prepared and did not feel too surprised, so they closed the door secretly.
Wang Junhua was still a little nervous: "Old man, do you think there will be any more trouble?"
"What's the matter? I'll be beheaded tomorrow. Even if the Jade Emperor comes down to earth, he can't save Tianwei now."
"But, the fourth prince still has orders..."
Qin Hui chewed his cheek: "The arrow is on the string, so we have to shoot it. Otherwise, the tiger will be injured by the tiger. If Tianwei doesn't die, we will die..."
While he was talking, he heard the knock of the boy outside the door: "Mr. Qin, we have a visitor."
Qin Huida was impatient: "No, no one. Tell them to go back."
There was a sneer at the door, and Gao Yigong pushed the door straight in and said with a stern voice: "Qin Hui, you've even missed the fourth prince?"
How dare he and his wife show their rebellion at this time? Wang Junhua was the first to kneel to the ground: "The Fourth Prince will not hesitate to die as long as he has an assignment. How dare we disobey the Fourth Prince?"
Qin Hui is ten times more scheming than his wife? Seeing that Gao Yigong looked bad, he knew that the Fourth Prince must have learned about the news that Tianwei was about to be executed, and had already thought of a way to deal with it: "I have already secretly informed the Nine Kings and proposed not to kill Tianwei. He I promised to consider it, but who knew this would happen?”
