Chapter 938: The sound of wind and rain at night
In the end, he has been the prime minister of the Universiade Dynasty for more than ten years, and he has lasted the longest in the entire dynasty, Li Yun is good or bad, not to mention, but he is the prime minister after all, a figure who can support the boat in his stomach.
was so confronted by a yellow-haired girl, he was still smiling, and he didn't mean to be angry.
"Little girl, if you can live a little longer, follow me to take a good look at the people and things in the capital, you will understand that this world is not black and white, and people's hearts are the same, you can insist on pure goodness, it is indeed very good, but as a prime minister who needs to maintain the operation of the dynasty, you can't just deal with people like you, let alone see someone who is not as honest and pure as you, you have to deny them completely, if no one is willing to listen to you, no one is willing to do things according to your wishes, even if you are the prime minister, after all, you are just a light commander。 Your brother Li Yanxi is upright and upright, and he is indeed very good, but he can't ignore everything, he is a clean official but he may not be a capable official, he can't do things well, and he can't implement the national government that His Majesty the Emperor wants, no matter how clean and clean it is, what's the use?"
When the little girl heard this, the aggressive momentum on her body weakened slightly, as if a certain confidence that supported her body suddenly leaked out.
But this change only lasted for a moment, and soon she reacted, straightened her waist again, crossed her hands on her waist, and said viciously: "Don't think that I am easy to deceive at a young age, even if what you just said has a little truth, but there must be a degree of accommodation, like you are now, arrest us, threaten my brother with our lives, and in turn threaten my mother with my brother's lives, such indiscriminate means, since you have used it, you are not qualified to say that you are a good person!"
The excitement in Li Yun's eyes was even greater.
"It's really rare for you to be so smart at such a young age, if I can, I really don't want to touch you and your brother," Li Yun put his hands behind his back, turned around, no longer looked at the mother and daughter, and only paced in the room by himself: "However, I have never regarded myself as a good person, after all, a good person cannot be the prime minister." ”
When he said this, Li Yun's eyes revealed a deep and desolate sadness.
But this time, the little girl seemed to have been very angry at the fact that she had almost changed her mind under the other party's bewitchment and was a little shaken.
Only Li Yanxi and the little girl's mother stood there very silently from beginning to end, without saying a word.
She is just an ordinary village woman, whether it is good or evil, it is not the most important thing in her narrow life, for a mother, children are her everything.
She doesn't care what position she stands, her purpose is just to want these children to live safely, and for this, even if she sacrifices herself.
Li turned around, and he knew that although the little girl was standing in front of her mother and chattering with herself, in the end, it was the silent woman who made the decision.
The two guards pushed open the door very cleverly, Li Yun slowly stepped out of the threshold, turned to look at the mother and daughter, the light smile on his face did not decrease, between him straightened his waist, straightened his clothes, straightened his clothes with some wrinkles, and said softly: "Today is the last day, tomorrow the Inspectorate will interrogate Li Yanxi again, and at that time, if your mother and daughter have not made a decision, then you can only help you make a decision!"
On the other side, in the cell, because of the fourteenth prince, Jiang Ning has eaten and drunk well in the past two days, except for the fact that the environment in the cell of the prison is a little cold, there are almost no other shortcomings, and he has lived more comfortably than those ordinary people outside in the past two days.
Early in the morning of the second day, after waiting for half an hour, he found that no one came to take him out, and Jiang Ning knew that today, the Inspectorate would probably not start the trial.
After cultivating for another half a day, with the domineering of the Dragon Suction Technique and the cultivation speed of the Wood Emperor Sutra, the internal force in Jiang Ning's body soon came to the ranks of the so-called super-first-class masters in the mortal world.
And his own swordsmanship, body and martial arts are far from being comparable to those super-first-class masters in this world.
In the afternoon, he still planned to continue cultivating, but since the Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate identified himself as the murderer, it means that at least he knows who the real mastermind is, so it is impossible to expect Tian Kangbang to overturn the case for himself, such a big thing, it is also difficult to expect the mastermind behind the scenes to leave a little clue for the emperor and the fourteenth prince at the scene of the killing, so when the time comes, he will have to take action and escape first, and other things will be discussed in the long run.
Of course, Jiang Ning is still unwilling to use this strategy as a last resort, after all, if you use force against officers and soldiers, it is tantamount to admitting the fact that you killed your wife in disguise, and if this outstanding martial arts is displayed, others will feel that he is deeply hidden, even those who have no way to kill their wives because he was powerless before, will also cast suspicious eyes on themselves.
This is a choice that can save lives, but it is very unfavorable to wash away grievances.
Therefore, if things have not taken a turn for the better before this evening, Jiang Ning plans to start his backup plan, first muddy this pool of spring water, let those people be in a hurry, and earn a chance for himself to go out and wash away his own grievances while he is in chaos.
Night, soon came.
Many of the prisoners had fallen asleep.
Just when Jiang Ning felt that it was time to start moving, a person wearing a jailer's costume walked in, but he was neither from the Fourteenth Prince's side, nor one of the jailers guarding this level of the prison.
After Jiang Ning saw the jailer's face, he immediately realized that the person he was waiting for had finally appeared.
"Take off your skin, it's weird to wear it on your face all the time. ”
Without waiting for the man to speak, Jiang Ning took the lead in laughing and said: "You have a straight waist, your steps are like flying, and your feet are silent, you are not at all those jailers who are listless all day, you have calluses on your hands, you are stable, your body is strong, your eyes are sharp, and your momentum is like a knife. ”
"The water cutter Hu Lie. The man was still expressionless, but he didn't obediently follow Jiang Ning's words and took off the skin on his face.
"So," Jiang Ning said, "are you here to kill the mouth, or are you here to spread the word for others?"
"Someone wants me to tell you that your mother and sister-in-law are now in his hands," Hu Lie said: "If you are willing to confess, your mother and sister are safe, and even yourself, he can be punished lightly and sentenced to exile on the grounds that the evidence is unclear." ”
"Then what if I say no?" Jiang Ning sneered.
Hu Lie said: "Then naturally I will send you to the Hades Palace now, and then go back and send your mother and sister to see you." ”
When he said this, Hu Lie's face didn't have any expression, but Jiang Ning knew that it was just because his face was covered, and his true expression was covered by that stiff fake face.
Because the ruthless and playful cold light in his eyes had unabashedly exposed the emotions of his master.
"It seems that the Fourteenth Prince has miscalculated after all," Jiang Ning said with a smile: "The Inspectorate and the Criminal Department have always only had some official contacts, and these two independent departments are not so easy to collude, after all, there are many people, and it is easy to leak the news." Even if there are any characters with hands and eyes on Natian Kangbang, no matter how powerful he is, he can't control everyone, and if he makes a mistake in one link, he will fall short. ”
"But I came in anyway. Hu Lie sneered.
"Yes," Jiang Ning sneered, "But you still came in." ”
"Of course, the people of the Fourteenth Prince can guard the prison and prevent outsiders from coming in," Jiang Ning said: "But if it is not outsiders who come in to spread the word, but people who should be in the prison, then they will not realize it at all." ”
"You're smart," continued. Hu Lie leaned against the cell door with his arms folded, not at all in a hurry.
The other party is not in a hurry, and Jiang Ning is even less anxious.
He chuckled lightly, and continued: "Even if the people of the Fourteenth Prince are attentive, after all, they are newcomers, and they are not familiar with the jailers in the Heavenly Prison at all, and it is easy to get away with it if they secretly let you stick their skin and disguise themselves as some of the inconspicuous people. And all you need to do is just a small jailer in the prison, envy and might, scare him first, and then give him a little profit, you can ensure that the guy will not say anything, and when this matter is over, if you are worried that the jailer will leak the news, find a way to extinguish it, and ensure that everyone will only think that it is an accident, and God will not know it. ”
"Although you're not talking about Quanzhong, it's basically the same. Hu Lie said: "That person is right, you are indeed a very smart person, if you can be less stubborn, the future can really be described as promising, but it is a pity that ...... now"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Since I'm going to die, then you might as well let me be a ghost and tell me who I offended, and it's worth his trouble to put me to death?"
"You impeached Liangzhou Muke for withholding disaster relief food, delaying the allocation of time, and causing the disaster in Liangzhou to worsen, do you know who you have offended?" Hu Lie sneered, "Liangzhou Mutian Yufang is the younger brother of the Inspectorate's Zuodu Yushitian Kangbang, you impeached his younger brother in front of your own brother, you say, will he let you go?"
Hu Lie glanced at Jiang Ning deeply and said, "Let me tell you the truth, you didn't hand it over at all, and he detained it just after it reached Tian Kangbang's hand! Not only can you seek any benefits for the people of Liangzhou, but you can't get any justice for them, and you will also cause your mother and sister to die with you." ”
"With all due respect," Jiang Ning said: "A master like you, there is no need to be a dog for others at all, with your ability alone, it is enough to be free from the rivers and lakes, even if you want to be a dog, it is definitely not the left capital Yu Shitian Kangbang is qualified to drive, I guess there must be someone else behind you, right?"
"Of course," Hu Lie said, "there is no grudge or enmity between us, if it weren't for someone's instructions, what would you do if you sneak into this prison and kill you?" ”
"Okay, the time is almost up, I'll ask you one last time, do you want your mother and sister's lives, or do you want them to bury you for the sake of so-called fairness and justice?"
Jiang Ning chuckled: "I don't want to choose either of the two options you gave, I still decided to give myself a third option." ”
"I'd like to hear it," Hu Lie quipped, "now that you're in prison, how can you give yourself that third option?"
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "For example, catch you, then peel off the skin on your face, and then lead the people of the Fourteenth Prince over and accuse the Criminal Department of stealing the day to let you in to kill people and kill people, when the time comes, even if I can't find any evidence, hehe, the Inspectorate will no longer have a chance to convict me!"
"Hehehe, hahaha!" Hu Lie laughed sadly as if he had heard some joke, "You, arrest me, how do you arrest me, shout, let those jailers come, you are too naïve, with my speed, if you want you to die, you are afraid that you will not be able to shout a word!"
Jiang Ning chuckled: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." I mean, I'll walk out of here, grab you, and deliver you to the people of the Fourteenth Prince, and then come back!"
Hu Lie sneered: "If you really have that ability, you would have left by yourself a long time ago, why are you still in this prison?"
As if he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jiang Ning, Hu Lie waved his hand, and a cold light flashed from the dark prison, and with a ding, it sank into the wall behind Jiang Ning.
"Huh?" Hu Lie felt for the first time that the situation in the prison was no longer under his control.
In the next cell, the withered old man who was pretending to sleep opened his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "This kid is really a hidden master!"
The man stood in front of Jiang Ning, and the two of them were facing each other faintly through the prison door.
At this moment, Hu Lie already has some feelings that it is difficult to ride a tiger.
In the information he obtained, Li Yanxi was a powerless scholar with no martial arts on him.
But now, although he didn't know how strong Jiang Ning's strength was, he still knew how strong the flying needle was and how fast it was just now.
can dodge the attack of the flying needle, Jiang Ning's strength is at least the best of the second-rate masters.
A scholar who has no military force, suddenly shows such a strong strength, even if Dao is still not his opponent so far, but as long as he can hold on for a moment, then, after those people in the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion heard the sound and rushed to come, he must flee, but those people in the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion are not easy to deal with, although those people are not his opponents, but if they go together, it is very difficult, and when the movement is big, even if the people in the Criminal Department want to pretend not to hear, it is not good, when the time comes, what they will face is all the people inside and outside the prison of the entire Criminal Department。
Even if he is a first-class master, it is difficult to retreat in such a situation, even if he retreats with his whole body, the fact that someone sneaked into the prison to intercept Li Yanxi can't be hidden, things have developed to this point, it is far from what the person behind the scenes planned, at this moment, even if he can rush into the cell and kill Jiang Ning, it is no longer meaningful, because he can't do it at all.
Having come to this point, his mission can be said to be half successful and half defeated.
He successfully conveyed the news that Li Yanxi's mother and sister were in the hands of the people behind the scenes, and the threats were all threatened.
The half of the failure was because Li Yanxi clearly refused his request, but he couldn't kill him without anyone noticing.
It's half a success, half a defeat, and he doesn't know what he's going to face when he goes back.
However, since the failure was caused by the wrong information of the person behind the scenes, Hu Lie expected that the other party would not unreasonably blame him.
It's just that how to get out of this prison quietly is already a big problem for him now.
Jiang Ning walked slowly to the back of the prison door, gently pressed one hand on the side of the wooden pillar, and said lightly: "Don't think about it, unless I am willing, otherwise, you will not be able to get out of it anyway!"
Hu Lie thought that there was no room for things to turn around, so he didn't want to negotiate with Jiang Ning at all, but looking at it now, the other party didn't seem to care much about whether he could leave here, so he said tentatively: "Now that the matter is over, why are you still willing to let me go?"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Tell me, where my mother and sister are imprisoned, I will let you go, this mission failed, you have no way to explain to the people behind the scenes anyway, not just because you did not complete the task, but because you know too much inside information, so, even if you don't die for the time being, when the dust settles, you will still be wiped out, so your only choice is to leave the capital and go to live somewhere else incognito." ”
Hu Lie sneered: "What you said is a bit alarmist, let me tell you the truth, I have been doing things for that person for many years, and I don't know how many secrets I know, if he wanted to kill my mouth, I would have died a long time ago, and I would not have lived until now!"
"That's because you're quite capable, and you have successfully completed the task every time," Jiang Ning smiled: "But this time is different, no matter what your reason is, in the end, you failed to kill me, then in this world, there is already a person who knows that you are working for him, since someone knows that you are his person, then even if your hidden knife is placed on the surface, it can never be used again, since it can never be used again, there is still a threat to keep it, so what will be your ending, I don't need to say more, right?"
