After bringing the news to the Kong family, which was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, Zhu Tingfang returned to the Wucheng Army with a calm mind. In fact, until the moment he went to the Kong family, the guy pretending to be the messenger had survived two rounds of interrogation, but had not yet revealed his motives or the mastermind behind the scenes. But when he came back, he finally got a piece of news.
"Did the guy confess? What did he say?"
The deputy envoy of the South City Military Department had received such a hot potato, and he was very nervous. Now that Zhu Tingfang was back, he had a backup, so he hurriedly reported: "He said that before the eldest prince committed suicide, he asked him to pretend to be a messenger and come back to announce the news. As for why the eldest prince asked him to do this, this person almost bit off his tongue before he could explain."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Tingfang's face suddenly turned cold. Fortunately, he almost bit off his tongue instead of having already bitten it off, otherwise he really had to consider whether the deputy envoy of the army should be replaced! He stared at the man for a long time, and when he saw that the other party was looking at him head-on, without looking around or lowering his head to avoid his gaze, he laughed.
"At least you were careful enough and didn't make any big mistakes."
Although this was not a compliment, the deputy envoy still felt relieved - when working under Zhu Tingfang, one does not seek merit but only avoids mistakes... That is the most basic requirement, because once one makes a mistake, he will be taken down without mercy!
At this moment, seeing Zhu Tingfang moving forward, he followed closely and asked carefully: "But since this man wants to die, even if his mouth is blocked now, it may not last long. Moreover, if he wants to confess, he has to take off the gag, so I am really in a dilemma. I heard that there was a doctor who had a secret technique that could prick the cheek with a silver needle to make people unable to bite..."
Before the other party could finish his words, Zhu Tingfang said coldly: "If he really wants to die, there are a thousand ways to do it. He can even suffocate himself to death by holding his breath! So there is no need to go through so much trouble. Bring him to see me."
When the bound and gagged man was brought in front of him, Zhu Tingfang looked him up and down, then said calmly, "If you are a warrior who truly cares about the eldest prince, then you must have prepared yourself for death, and you wouldn't have asked for death earlier or later, revealing that it was the eldest prince who ordered you to impersonate the messenger before asking for death."
The deputy military envoy standing by was immediately shocked. Yes, according to Zhu Tingfang, if it was really the eldest prince who ordered it, and he was determined to die, then he should have died immediately after the crime was exposed. If he could not endure the torture and confessed, then asking for death, wouldn't it be too late
After Zhu Tingfang revealed the biggest secret in the heart of the fake messenger, he was immediately shocked. His face, which was already ashen, became even uglier at this moment, but he stared at Zhu Tingfang with his eyes for a long time, and then suddenly lowered his head.
The deputy envoy of the army standing by thought that he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, so he reached out and grabbed the man's collar in a rage, but the next moment he realized something was wrong. When he looked down again, he saw that the man's head was hanging down, and he died silently! He was shocked and subconsciously let go of his hand. When he saw the man collapse to the ground, he realized that he had caused a big disaster!
