"What do you want?" He already knew that something was wrong. Although he was afraid, he already knew Wei An's abilities. So even though he was caught so quickly, he was still able to remain calm.
It was hot and humid outside, but in this secret room somewhere there was a chilly wind, the ground was very damp, and there were mice and unknown insects running around everywhere. He shrank his feet and looked at He Bin and Xue Song, holding his neck high and refusing to give in: "Kill me if you want to, don't expect me to say anything!"
He looked at He Bin and Xue Song in front of him, and suddenly smiled smugly: "What? Are you trying to force a confession so that I can help your master get away with it?"
Logically speaking, if Wei An and Shen Chen really broke his plan, it would be the government officials who came to arrest them. However, the government officials did not take any action. Instead, Wei An and Shen Chen sent people from afar to Jingxi to capture them.
Could it be that his plan was successful and Wei An and Shen Chen in the capital were helpless, so he got the clue from somewhere and wanted to bring them back as witnesses
But this is not right either - if the plan in the capital had succeeded, the prefect would not have been arrested.
He was having a headache thinking about it, but he was sure that Wei An would still need them, so he felt fearless for the time being.
After meeting Chu Jingxing many times, Xuesong knew his kind of people very well. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. After following Chu Jingxing for a long time, people like Xue Changshi also became a bit out of place.
He sneered at him. He had not intended to speak at first, but suddenly he spoke. After he finished laughing, he looked at him as if he were a clown on the stage and asked him, "What do you think we want you to say? Force you to confess? Force you to confess what? Can people who are so self-righteous like you speak human language?"
Xue Changshi's face turned red. He could not stand being humiliated the most in his life.
Even when he was in desperate situation and was humiliated, he risked his identity being discovered, and killed those people in anger.
And that's just ordinary people.
But the one in front of him was the real confidant of the enemy. He sneered and gritted his teeth: "Don't be so proud, you will die a miserable death!"
The words "you will not die a good death" are always used by them so lightly to threaten others. In their eyes, no one's life is important, except their own.
Xuesong was not angry about this at all. He didn't even look at him anymore. He stopped He Bin and whispered, "Will they die a miserable death? You may not be able to see whether we will die a miserable death, but your brothers will really die a miserable death. And they are like this because of you."
He observed Xue Changshi's expression and saw that he seemed incredulous, so he looked at him and said, "Killing people in secret and torturing people are not only for you, nor are you the only ones who can do it."
Xue Changshi was a little scared. He had no idea about Wei An and the others' background and didn't know what they were going to do, so he tried to test them: "Without us, can your princess and Prince Zheng be cleared of their crimes? I know what you mean. You want to squeeze some words out of me..."
He Bin crossed his arms, thinking that the man in front of him was really disgusting. He didn't look like a serious scholar. Instead, he was no different from those street thieves. They all had the same look, and no matter what time, they only treated human life as a business and as a bargaining chip in negotiations with others.
Unlike Xue Song, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a parasite. He laughed and attracted Xue Changshi's attention, and said, "You may have thought too much. Crime? What crime? Prince Zheng is fine. Although he has lost contact in Shandong, the emperor has ordered the Shandong government to do their best to find him. As for our princess, it goes without saying that she has just made an engagement with Pingxi Hou. The wedding date is approaching, and the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the wedding according to the emperor's order. How can there be any crime or no crime?"
Xue Changshi sneered and refused to believe: "If there really is no one, then why did he come all the way to Jingxi to find us? Such a big fuss, even the confidants of Lai Pingxi Hou were dispatched, wow, wow, that's really a big deal."
What's the point
A trip to Jingxi would require not only manpower and material resources, but also money and the spies in the capital. How much effort would it take just to keep Jingxi clean and prevent the news from leaking out
How is it possible to say that I have no intention at all
He Bin sneered disdainfully: "You can go to great lengths to set up so many traps for Chu Jingxing, so why can't we travel thousands of miles to catch the instigator? Don't be so smart, don't bring out your little tricks to embarrass yourself, and don't think that we want you to go back and get away with it, because we don't need you, because we have never fallen into the trap. People like you are like bugs in the gutter. We are looking for you, of course, to put you in the sun to see if your human skin is covered with countless lice!"
Xue Changshi was a little confused by his scolding. When he wanted to step back, he found that he was tied up.
He was not very afraid of Xuesong, but for some reason, he was very afraid of He Bin, who smiled from time to time.
He Bin's sarcastic remarks made him feel uneasy, so he stared at him warily and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
What do you want to do
He Bin glanced at him coldly: "I heard from your third subordinate that you did all these things for revenge? All for being a loyal servant and to avenge your old master Chu Jingxing?"
Xue Changshi said nothing, but a huge wave of emotions was rising in his heart.
What's going on?! It's fine for others, but the third brother is an extremely smart and loyal person, why did he say it too
If the third brother said it, then, what other connections does he have in the capital besides Lu Yuanrong
So... ...what about those secrets that Wei An and Shen Chen must never know
Did they say that too?! He was so confused that he stared at He Bin with wide eyes: "Don't lie to me, I don't know what you are talking about!"
have no idea
He Bin said softly, "I know that you all escaped from the Jin Wang Rebellion together. I heard that you all suffered a lot. I heard that you depended on each other along the way?"
Xue Changshi gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He had already discovered that He Bin was like a cat about to play with a mouse, playing word games with him.
He didn't want to go crazy with him. If he continued to answer like this, he would probably follow He Bin's train of thought and be led by him to say many things that he shouldn't say.
Don't be fooled by them.
He Bin sighed, clapped his hands, looked at Xue Changshi leisurely and smiled: "Why, why don't you talk? Are you afraid that I am trying to get you to talk? Are you afraid that you will be exposed?" (To be continued)
