Chapter 40: Great Compensation
Li Shimin's words were like a death knell hanging over his head, so that Zhao Gao never dared to look up.
Know it all?
Got it?
These two questions lingered in Zhao Gao's heart, but he didn't have the courage to ask.
Fear and uneasiness continued to spread in his heart, and Zhao Gao knew that if he said anything wrong today, his life would have to be explained here.
"The minions are loyal to the Holy Lord and have never betrayed anything. ”
Zhao Gao kowtowed heavily to Li Shimin a few times, and his head smashed on the bluestone slab with a clanging sound.
But Li Shimin watched coldly and was not impressed by him at all.
"I thought that death was coming, and you could still tell the truth, but I didn't expect that you are still quibbling until now, come and bring people!"
Li Shimin gave an order, and several gold-armored warriors tied up a palace maid and a guard and came to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin beckoned to Zhao Feng, motioned for him to stand beside him, and asked the two who were tied.
"Do you two know what crime you have committed?"
"Holy Lord spare your life! Holy Lord spare your life!"
The palace maid and the guards were already frightened, and knelt down on the spot as soon as they heard Li Shimin's question.
Li Shimin pointed to the palace maid and asked her to speak first, the palace maid trembled and glanced at Zhao Gao next to her, and told everything she knew.
"Returning to the Holy Lord, yes...... The slave secretly changed the Tears of the Night, and knew nothing but this slave. ”
"Where did your night tears come from?" asked Li Shimin coldly.
The palace maid secretly looked at Zhao Gao, hoping that Zhao Gao could save herself.
But at this time, Cheng Biting Jin suddenly appeared behind Zhao Gao and kicked him in the ass, Zhao Gao could only bury his head lower, not daring to let anyone see it.
"Say!"
Li Shimin's intimidation startled the palace maid and sat directly on the ground.
"The Holy Lord spares my life, I say, yes...... It was given to me by Zhao's father-in-law. ”
"You're spewing blood!"
Zhao Gao yelled angrily, wanting to take this opportunity to shut up the palace maid, but who knew that Cheng Biting Jin kicked his ass again.
Zhao Gao fell on the spot, and his cheeks were broken.
"You say!" Li Shimin pointed to the guards on the side.
The guards seemed to understand that Zhao Gao had no way to protect himself, and told the truth without thinking about it.
"Holy Lord Qiqi, the little one is the guard of the treasure house, the little second uncle will be beheaded tomorrow to show the public, Zhao Gonggong said that there is a way to rescue my second uncle, the little one just told him the time when the Tears of the Night came out of the library, and the other little ones don't know anything"
The palace maid and the guards hurriedly cleared up their relationship, and if they don't admit it now, I'm afraid they won't have a chance next.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and the golden-armored warrior took the two down.
Then Li Shimin told the ins and outs of what happened in front of Zhao Feng.
"Hmph! Illicit with the treasure house guard, steal the treasure, and then hide the treasure in Zhao Feng's room, frame him in prison, and ask for someone at three o'clock tomorrow at noon, Zhao Da is in charge of a series of schemes!"
Li Shimin's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into Zhao Gao's heart one by one.
Zhao Gao was already sweating profusely at this time, and there was almost no blood on his pale face.
It turned out that from the beginning, Li Shimin was secretly monitoring Zhao Gao's every move.
It's just that Zhao Gao thought that what he did was seamless, and it only took one night to kill Zhao Feng.
It's a pity that he made a big mistake from the beginning, Li Shimin is not a faint king.
"The people of Wu Tianjiao were also brought in by you tonight, right?"
Wu Tianjiao?
Zhao Feng had heard this name for the first time, it turned out that the black-clothed people just now were Wu Tianjiao's people, but why did Wu Tianjiao kill himself?
As soon as Zhao Gao heard the three names of Wu Tianjiao, he immediately realized that it was not good.
Stealing treasures and framing others will be imprisoned at most, but colluding with the cult is the consequence of breaking the corpse, and Zhao Gao naturally knows which is more important.
In particular, although Li Shimin is open-minded, he hates cults the most.
If he knew that he had colluded with Wu Tianjiao, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Fortunately, all the black-clothed people in Wu Tianjiao are dead, and Zhao Gao has some confidence without proof.
"Holy Lord Holy Judge, although the slave holds a grudge against Zhao Feng, it is impossible to collude with Wu Tianjiao, if the Holy Lord does not believe it, the slave is willing to guarantee with his life. ”
Zhao Gao confessed his lenient and straightforward attitude, but in exchange for Li Shimin's even more angry roar.
"You still have a few lives to vouch for!"
Zhao Gao didn't know what he said wrong, but he saw Cheng Yanjin slowly walk up and put the bloody axe in front of him.
"Emperor Qiqi, my Lao Cheng was sent to the prison by you from home, during which no one knew my whereabouts, which prison Zhao Feng was imprisoned in, only me, the emperor and the internal guards knew, but since Zhao Gonggong came to visit the prison, Wu Tianjiao's people broke in directly, and accurately found Zhao Feng's cell, who else will report except you. ”
Cheng Yanjin and Zhao Feng were locked in the same cell together, and the positions of the two of them were in the innermost part of the prison.
Ordinary people can't think of that location at all, and even if they can think of it, the roads in the prison are complicated, and it is impossible for people who have never entered the prison to find it.
But Wu Tianjiao's people rushed straight to the cell where Zhao Feng was, which had to make people suspect that someone was having an affair with these thieves.
Zhao Gao couldn't argue, but he still refused to admit his guilt and said righteously.
"If the holy master does not believe it, the slave dares to swear to heaven that the slave will never collude with the cult, and if the holy master has evidence, he can cure the slave's sin. ”
Zhao Gao obviously understood that there was no evidence for his death now, and he even asked for evidence in his words.
Although Li Shimin had the intention to kill him, Zhao Gao was not his own person after all.
If there is no evidence to kill people indiscriminately, his master may be unhappy.
"In this case, someone will put Zhao Gao in prison, and when I personally visit the First Emperor, I will hand this person over to the First Emperor to deal with. ”
"Yes!"
Li Shimin gave an order, and the gold-armored warrior set up Zhao Gao and brought him into the prison.
After all the dust settled, Li Shimin smiled and saluted Zhao Feng.
"In order not to startle the snake, I made Zhao Guanguan feel wronged, and I apologized here. ”
Li Shimin slowly bent over, which made Zhao Feng speechless.
This guy knew everything, but he dared to throw himself in prison.
Although everything was dangerous, Zhao Feng felt like meat on a chopping board for others to slaughter.
It was so painful.
"You know that there is danger, and you still lie to me, and I want to compensate for it!"
Zhao Feng spread out his palm without hesitation, and unexpectedly, a big hand was stretched out from the side and made the same action.
"Yes, compensation, I Lao Cheng slept well at home, you got him to prison, do you know how many fleas there are in the prison, I Lao Chen still has to protect this little doll in fear, I must compensate." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin kicked Cheng Biting Jin's ass, this guy really doesn't have a long memory.
Last time I was drunk, I almost broke my glass lamp, and now I'm licking my face to make amends.
"Okay, Zhao Officials come with me, and I will definitely give you satisfactory compensation. ”
