Chapter 21: Learn the truth

Views:

I looked at Liang Wan. In order to catch her, I spent so much effort and arranged so many hidden stakes, and finally I found the place where they wanted to hide the princess. Force and the safety of the princess forced them to finally capture them alive. Although it seemed to be very simple and smooth, I spent too much thought. In order to force Liang Wan to confess, I used this method to make her feel powerless to protect herself. Only by making her lose all her confidence, can I make her confess obediently, otherwise she will see through me and I will not hurt the princess, then it will be miserable.

Liang Wan said bleakly: "Who are you?"

I said lightly: "Piaoxiang and I have a white-headed appointment. The night before her tragic death, she was at my residence. Unfortunately, in order to make a good start, she couldn't bear to refuse Yanniang's request, so she died unexpectedly."

Liang Wan looked at the people in front of her and quickly searched her memory, thinking of anyone related to Liu Piaoxiang, but although Liu Piaoxiang had many ministers under her skirt, none of them would match the behavior of the person in front of her. Thinking carefully about the scene before Liu Piaoxiang's death, when she walked into the room and saw Liu Piaoxiang taking a bath, her beautiful face was filled with fire-like anger, and when she saw herself, she said coldly, "I can't think of Princess Mingyue. But even so, to deceive and insult a little girl like me." Liang Wan still remembered her euphemistic persuasion, but Liu Piaoxiang said with a cold and authentic expression: "You have high power, and I have nothing to say, even if I sue the government, It's useless, don't worry, I have my own life to live." She clearly expressed her tolerance like that, but she was partial to a chill, she didn't believe that Liu Piaoxiang, who had dared to insult King Han Zhao Delong in public, would not Investigating this matter, thinking that as long as Liu Piaoxiang spreads this matter out, her reputation will vanish. Before Liu Piaoxiang left, she was poisoned.

I saw Liang Wan's thinking, and a monstrous anger surged in my heart. If she hadn't killed Piaoxiang, how could she have been thinking so deeply, I said coldly, "Do you remember?"

Liang Wan glanced at me and said to herself, "It turns out that the reason why Liu Piaoxiang compromised and promised not to take revenge on herself was to reunite with her lover. It seems that her lover status should not be too high, otherwise Liu Piaoxiang I won't promise not to retaliate."

Just as she continued to think, the man in black with a cold voice walked in front of her, grabbed the front of her chest and tugged it, and the pieces of silk flew away. She screamed angrily, knowing that this was a warning to herself, so she could only say: "Since it has reached this point, I believe that Your Excellency has enough evidence. Yes, Liu Piaoxiang was killed by me."

She admitted it, and I looked at Liang Wan fiercely and asked, "Okay, then tell me, who is that bastard who bullied Piaoxiang and asked you to take care of him?"

Only then did Liang Wan understand that the key to her own survival was here. She was originally a woman with extraordinary intelligence, but now she has the opportunity to take advantage of it, she smiled and said: "So you want to know about this matter, I am the only one who knows about this matter, may I ask your Excellency, what price are you willing to pay? to exchange this news?"

I said lightly: "I knew you would do this, but if I didn't have enough confidence, how could I do it, Miss Liang, no matter how important or prominent your status is, today you are in my hands, and I can do whatever I want. , if you are willing to tell that person, I promise to let you die peacefully, if you are unwilling to tell, I have thousands of ways to keep you dead."

Liang Wan smiled coldly and said, "I know that there are many ways to hurt a woman, you can let all the men in this room insult me, you can use all the torture on me, and you can also destroy mine. Appearance, but you should believe that I, Liang Wan, have an iron heart, no matter how you hurt me, as long as I don't say anything, then you will be the one who will die in the end. If you are willing to negotiate with me fairly, then I promise that one day I will. tell you who this person is."

I clapped my hands lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, as expected of Dayong's secret spy leader, you guys tell me if my initial caution was justified."

Chen Zhen said coldly: "Young master is really talented, and his subordinates are waiting for him."

I walked in front of Liang Wan and said coldly: "I knew you would do this for a long time, you have the belief that you will die, and I also believe that you can survive all kinds of torture, and you can experience the greatest pain in life by being skilled in medicine. And insults, these people are all your subordinates, I can let you tactfully plead for joy in front of them, and then you have no face to be their leader."

Liang Wan endured the fear in her heart and said, "I know you can do it. I heard that some people are good at making strong aphrodisiacs. If a woman takes it, it will be unimaginable, but as long as I remember that I am trapped by the drug, I will not lose my head because of this. Come."

I sneered: "Afterwards, you can kill them and silence them, and you won't know about your ugliness, right?"

Liang Wan said lightly, "How could I do this." But there was horror in her eyes, which was exactly her plan.

I chuckled and said: "You have been guarding your body like a jade, but I believe you are not a clean woman, so why don't you have a lover, is it a man you don't look down on in the world, or you have a crush, or for you, a virgin Being is very important.”

Xiao Shunzi suddenly said: "Master, the martial arts she practiced should not require a woman to guard her body. I think she has a crush, or her purpose is to be someone's wife and concubine, so she must maintain her virginity."

I looked at Liang Wan's expression and said with a smile, "Maybe it's true, come here, bring some wine and give her a drink."

Thief Li came over with Bai Yi carrying a pot of wine, Bai Yi pinched Liang Wan's nose, and Thief Li poured the pot of wine into her with ease. They were skilled, and Liang Wan had no resistance. There was room, but a small amount of the wine still flowed to her chest. Liang Wan waited for them to release her hands and coughed a few times, only to feel that her chest was cold, but her throat was hot, and her face was even more red due to suffocation. Liang Wan only felt that everyone's eyes were on her. Although she was ashamed, she knew that life and death depended on this moment, so she still raised her head firmly and looked at the black-shirted scholar, thinking, if she can't control herself If you bite your tongue and commit suicide, even if you are stopped, those people will know their decision.

After a while, Liang Wan didn't feel that her spring heart was rippling, but she felt refreshed and lively, as if she was in a fairyland. Liang Wan gradually became a little lazy and wanted to lie down and sleep. Tie firmly. At this moment, a gentle voice came from my ear: "Miss Liang, do you want to rest?"

Liang Wan groaned in a low voice, "I just want to get some sleep."

The voice asked again: "You have been in Southern Chu for so long, you must have bought a lot of high-ranking officials, and you have a lot of spies under your command, right?"

Liang Wan looked confused and replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Yong sent me to protect His Royal Highness the Princess, and later let me preside over the Jiangnan espionage. Unfortunately, I can only live up to his love. The master said that His Royal Highness is the true son of the prince. ."

"Who is your master?" the voice was still asking her.

Liang Wan said impatiently, "Of course my master is the head of Fengyi's clan."

"Oh, then who asked you to invite Miss Liu to Mingyuelou?"

Liang Wan just said the word "yes", and suddenly woke up, her eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "What did I say?" At this time, one of his subordinates said coldly: "You said that you betrayed Yong. Wang, I took refuge with the Crown Prince. Ah-" A man in black's iron fist hit his lower abdomen, making him unable to speak.

I looked at Liang Wan, whose face was ashen-faced, and said, "You have even spoken out about your betrayal, so what else can you hide?"

Liang Wan sneered and said, "Although I've said a few things, the big deal is that I'll blatantly serve the prince in the future. As for the person you want to know, it's my only bargaining chip, so if you're not willing to pay the price, I'll never say that. In fact, why do you bother so much for a prostitute, I don’t know how many good women there are in the world, there are many outstanding seniors and sisters in my Fengyi Sect, if your Excellency likes it, Liang Wan is willing to be a matchmaker.”

I said lightly: "Although Piaoxiang unfortunately fell into Fengchen, her heart is like the bright moon in nine days, and although Miss Liang is arrogant to the moon, her actions are not as frank as Fengchen's."

Liang Wan's face was ashen with anger, but I sighed softly, Liang Wan is really difficult to deal with, I started talking about love potions on purpose, so everyone would think that the wine I drank for her was mixed with love potions. The wine is indeed mixed with drugs, but it is an ecstasy refined from poppy. The biggest disadvantage of this ecstasy is that it is difficult to use if the user is prepared. This medicine, but they still didn't say a word without preparation, so I first let Liang Wan understand my purpose, so she lost her guard, and then let her take the "love potion" that she thought could resist , And Liang Wan, who took Ecstasy, really said something. Unfortunately, Liang Wan was too cautious about life and death-related matters, so she failed to succeed, but I was not discouraged. This was originally my plan. So far, Liang Wan has understood my concern about this matter, so when I use the trump card, she will agree to exchange terms with me.

I chuckled: "It seems that Miss Liang is really reluctant to speak. Since that's the case, I have to offend you."

Liang Wan said proudly, "I want to see what other means you have."

I said lightly: "I want to invite the girl to listen to a good show." After that, I waved my hand, Chi Ji gave me a salute, turned and pushed open the stone door behind my seat, just as the stone door opened, all the Everyone's eyes can see a large bronze mirror with a height of one person placed on the side. The lights in the mirror are on and off, and you can see a large bed with a tassel curtain. Sitting on the edge of the bed is a plain-clothed girl, who is Princess Changle. From the perspective of the mirror, Princess Changle should be in the room behind Shimen. Chi Ji walked in, and then the stone door closed. All Dayong's spies looked at me with a terrifying look, as if they had guessed my means. As soon as I waved my hand, one person pulled out a copper pipe hidden on the stone door. At this time, everyone heard a sound coming from the copper pipe.

"Who are you, what are you going to do to me?"

"No, you don't come here, you don't come here." Then came the sound of cracking silk, and the voice of the girl crying and struggling.

"Stop, stop." All the Dayong secret agents were shouting. Only Liang Wan's face was still ashen, and she didn't make a sound.

I signaled to close the brass tube. Although there was no sound, those people were even more worried. They began to struggle desperately, and some people began to yell.

I said coldly: "Miss Liang, if you refuse to tell me what I want to know, then what will Princess Changle suffer, you will understand, I want to know, if His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong knows that because of you, let him His beloved daughter is so tortured, what will he do to you, what will the crown prince do to you, what will King Yong do to you."

Liang Wan raised her head in despair. She knew that she had fallen into the deepest trap. This person was as terrifying as a devil. From the way he dealt with him, it could be seen that he was a deep-minded demon, and he would definitely do such a thing. There was only one thing he wouldn't do, and that was to hurt himself, because he couldn't stand the consequences of her refusing to say anything.

She said bitterly: "Tell your subordinates to stop. If the princess is not hurt, and you promise not to hurt me, then I will tell you."

I said lightly: "Come on, say it quickly, my subordinates are not in a hurry, if you say it, it will be too late. As for your life, I promise, I won't take your life today, and I won't hurt you again."

Liang Wan said sadly: "I can only trust you, that person is Prince Li An."

I frowned and said coldly, "Are you talking nonsense? Why did Prince Dayong come to Nanchu?"

Liang Wan said calmly: "King Qi promised that the lord of Southern Chu could become emperor, but after breaking Shu, he would go back on his promises. If there is no person with a higher status to appease, wouldn't this matter spread out and make Dayong lose face, so His Royal Highness arrived in Nanchu secretly and did not see anyone except Zhao Jia. Before he left, the Crown Prince said that Liu Piaoxiang must be seen from His Royal Highness Qi's speech. I thought Liu Piaoxiang was only a brothel woman, and she was still not attracted to the Prince. Follow each other, who knows that after Liu Piaoxiang came, she just sang a song and was about to say goodbye. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used force in anger, and then asked me to take care of the aftermath, so I had to kill Liu Piaoxiang." Liang Wan sprinkled a small Huang, although Li An asked him to deal with the aftermath, he did not let her kill. He thought that as long as he gave more gold and silver, it would be fine. However, Liang Wan was afraid that Liu Piaoxiang would spread the matter. For Liang Wan, Liu Piaoxiang's life and death were only a matter of thought, because His Royal Highness was criticized.

I looked at Liang Wan, and when I finally learned the truth of the matter, I was almost despairing, how could I take revenge on the prince of a country. Liang Wan seemed to see my change and said, "Your Excellency, if you are willing to let go of your past suspicions, Liang Wan promises that you will rise to the top."

I said coldly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Liang Wan said coldly, "You can only believe me. If you don't believe me, of course you can go back and kill me."

I didn't say anything. I wouldn't kill her until I confirmed that she was telling the truth. Liang Wan knew this, so she dared to say it.

At this time, a big Yongmi spy said: "Your Excellency, you haven't let the princess go."

I didn't speak, Chen Zhen opened the stone door, and everyone saw that in the bronze mirror, the princess was still sitting there, but with some changes in her posture, Chi Ji walked out and closed the door.

I glanced at them and explained, "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness has a rough fate. How can I embarrass her? My subordinate is good at ventriloquism, which will make you laugh."

Those people breathed a sigh of relief, the princess was not hurt in any way, which made them very happy, but Liang Wan looked at me viciously and said, "It turns out to be you, I know who you are, Jiang Zhe, you are Jiang Zhe. "

Her words were like a cold wind blowing through, making everyone quiet. My people were naturally exposed because of my identity, but Dayong's people were surprised because they all knew that I was the champion.

I said coldly, "How could Miss Liang recognize me?"

Liang Wan said proudly: "Your voice, I finally remembered where I heard your voice. Also, when you mentioned the princess, your eyes were gentle and full of sympathy. When you met the princess, I saw it before. Your look."

I glanced at Liang Wan with admiration and said, "Sure enough, Miss Liang is worthy of being the leader of Dayong's secret spies, and she actually sees through the identity of a person I don't have much contact with."

Liang Wan looked a little weird, and said coldly: "Jiang Zhe, you kidnapped the princess and committed a serious crime. If you want in the future, I can introduce you to the Dayong court, and the future will be bright, why do you want to be a woman and your own? The future is difficult.”

I smiled coldly and said, "Miss Liang, you are really too scary. The so-called green bamboo snake mouth and wasp tail needle are not poisonous. They are the most poisonous to women's hearts. I only believed them today, yes, I won't kill you, and I won't hurt you, all I want is your memory and talent."

Xiao Shunzi came over and stuffed a red pill the size of a longan into Liang Wan's mouth. Liang Wan wanted to struggle, but Xiao Shunzi's cold hand made her lose the courage to resist. I looked at her with fear. He looked at him and said, "I didn't kill you, nor did I damage you in a single shot. Take this pill, and you will forget everything. Although I am not sure how much you will forget, I can guarantee that you will never forget it again. Remember what happened today."

Liang Wan looked at me in fear, she thought I might not let her go so easily, but she never thought that I would use this way, she shouted: "I lied to you, what I told you is not real."

I said coldly, "Miss Liang, if you want to hide it for others, do you need to use His Royal Highness as a prevarication?"

Liang Wan only felt that the memories came from the bottom of her heart, the joy of childhood, the hard training of martial arts as a young girl, the surprise and temptation of seeing His Highness King Yong for the first time, and all kinds of intrigue in Nanchu, but Liu finally appeared. Piaoxiang's eyes filled with regret before she died, and then everything gradually drifted away. At the end, Liang Wan had a childlike smile on her face, so innocent.

I said lightly: "You killed my wife, and I ruined your life. Although it's not even, it's still counted as your forgiveness. Miss Liang, if we don't see each other again, then you can live well. If you and I are unfortunate, and they meet again on a stranger's road, I have no choice but to take your life and comfort my beloved wife in the spirit of heaven."

I looked up, except for Xiao Shunzi, everyone's eyes were full of fear, even Chen Zhen, Chi Ji, and Thief Li, they have all seen me destroy the memories of the children who were sent away with drugs, but At that time, the amount of medicine I used was very small, so I just let them lose their memory for two or three years. I have seen a scene like Liang Wan today. I smiled slightly, it's not bad that they have some fear in their hearts. Looking at the secret agents of Dayong, I said lightly: "You know my identity, sorry, I can't let you leave like this."

A humane said, "You want us to take this medicine too?"

I shook my head and said, "This medicine is worth more than the same amount of gold. I won't be willing to use it casually. I want to take your life. Anyway, you have been in Nanchu for many years. It is not an exaggeration for me to kill you. "

There were tragic expressions in the eyes of those people, and one of them said: "Your Excellency is a high-ranking official in Nanchu, and I have a national hatred on Dayong, and a personal hatred below. You killed us originally. Also, please don't hand the princess over to the people of Southern Chu, please send your highness to King Yong, even though we die without hatred."

I glanced at the man and said, "You can't tell the world about today's affairs, and you can't tell your parents about it. If you know these secrets, even if I don't kill you, you can't survive the pursuit of the prince. If you are willing to keep your promises. , I can return your weapons and ask you to send Her Royal Highness to King Yong, but you need to commit suicide afterward."

Surprise flashed in the man's eyes and said, "Your Excellency is willing to believe us."

I said with a straight face, "I believe in the promise of the Great Yong Warriors. If you break your promise, you will only make me look down on His Royal Highness King Yong. You should know that if I want to assassinate someone, it is not difficult. At that time, His Royal Highness King Yong is the price for your betrayal."

The big man thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency's methods are so ruthless and ruthless, and your plans are so rigorous, if you are secretly plotting to assassinate His Highness King Yong, you will have a five-point confidence. Well, what's the matter with our humble lives? Completing the task is the most important thing, just please agree, we want to report to His Royal Highness Prince Yong about the collusion between the Crown Prince and Liang Wan."

I said lightly: "Yes, but you can't mention anything about us and Zhuojing."

The big man complied with his promise, I smiled slightly, turned around and went out, and Chen Zhen will take care of the next thing. Xiao Shunzi followed behind me and asked, "Will they keep their word?"

I nodded and said, "I won't read the wrong person, they are all steadfast warriors."
