Chapter 304: Poisoned Wine
Sure enough, it was Wei Ninghou.
Wei Ninghou was injured and had many bandages wrapped around his body, and he had to be supported when he walked.
The guards behind him were all wearing swords, and their expressions were calm, revealing a solemn aura.
Wei Ninghou looked at Ji Ze, who looked excited and happy, expressionlessly, with a thick mockery in his eyes, and said slowly: "Are you really happy to see me come back safely?" ”
Ji Ze's heart sank, and his expression still remained calm: "My father is safe and sound, of course I am glad and happy in my heart." My father seems to have a misunderstanding about me, please listen to me."
Wei Ninghou coldly interrupted Ji Ze: "There is one thing, I really want to hear your explanation. A month ago, I received a secret report from the border gate that the stand-in who replaced me was shot by a poisoned arrow when he was leading the troops into battle, and although it was not a vital point, he was quickly poisoned and died. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the poisoned arrow was actually shot from the border army. Moreover, the poison on the poisoned arrow is very rare, and it is by no means owned by barbarians. ”
"I want to ask you, who has such a deep hatred with me that wants to kill me?"
Wei Ninghou's eyes were sharp, revealing an icy chill.
Ji Ze's heart almost sank to the bottom.
In a flash of light, he suddenly figured out everything.
After Wei Ninghou received this secret report, he had already guessed that it was his secret move, and he had already been vigilant in his heart. Perhaps, the assassination that night was also expected by Wei Ninghou
Ji Ze secretly clenched his fists, and his expression was a little stiff: "The border pass is thousands of miles away from the capital, and even my father doesn't know about it." Naturally, I don't know. ”
Wei Ninghou pulled the corners of his lips sarcastically: "Oh? Do you really not know anything? You should know the mastermind of the Assassins that night! ”
Ji Ze replied calmly: "The Criminal Department has been investigating this matter, and the clues found are related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Everyone knows about it. Father might as well go to the criminal department and ask in person. ”
Ji Ze's justification and denial seemed so pale and weak.
There was no need for evidence, father and son both knew it.
Wei Ning Hou looked at Ji Ze steadily, suddenly raised his hand, and asked the guards to retreat a few meters away. Father and son looked at each other through a sturdy iron fence.
"Yutang, I'll ask you one last time." Wei Ninghou said in a deep voice: "Who sent the assassin that night? ”
This was Wei Ninghou's last chance to give Ji Ze.
If Ji Ze frankly admits that he has the intention of killing his father. Maybe Wei Ninghou will spare his life.
However, looking at Wei Ninghou's cold and ruthless eyes, all the hatred that Ji Ze had suppressed in his heart came to his heart. Knowing that showing weakness is the best policy, what comes out of his mouth is still the same: "Father, the son really doesn't know." ”
Good! What an uninformed!
Wei Ninghou laughed angrily, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared.
"Someone! Bring the wine! Wei Ninghou raised his voice and shouted angrily.
A guard appeared out of nowhere. He held a wooden plate in his hand. There was only one glass of wine on the plate. After putting down the poisonous wine, the guards immediately retreated.
The cup of poisonous wine was placed within Ji Ze's reach.
Ji Ze stared at the glass of wine, anger and horror flashed in his eyes, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Father, what does this mean?" If there is no evidence, I will be condemned to death, and my own son will be poisoned, and this kind of thing will be spread. What kind of face does my father have to face? ”
"You don't even care about the reputation of killing your father, do I still need to care about the reputation of killing your son?" Wei Ninghou looked at Ji Ze expressionlessly. As if looking at an irrelevant stranger, his eyes were cruel and cold: "It's okay if you don't admit some things, I know it in my heart, and the emperor understands it." Today's glass of wine, you drink it yourself, which can be regarded as preserving your last dignity. ”
Ji Ze's handsome face turned white, and his heart was cold.
Wei Ninghou is ruthless, and he wants his life today
Ji Ze's face changed and changed, and his heart was full of resentment: "I don't accept it!" If there is no evidence of this, why should I take my life! I'm not convinced! ”
He's in the prime of his life, he's full of ambitions, and he doesn't want to die!
Wei Ninghou listened to his words and seemed to feel funny: "You are not convinced? At this time, you came to tell me that you were not convinced, don't you think it's too late? From the moment you did something rebellious many years ago, you should be mentally prepared for this moment. ”
"The last time I was at the Grange, I let you go. If you regret and blame yourself, and you are honest and honest at this point, and you think of your father and son, I will treat it as if those things never happened. But how do you do it? The matter of planting people at the border gate was arranged last year! The assassination that night didn't leave any evidence, and it cost you a lot of thought! ”
"You're bent on putting me to death! Already my mortal enemy. If I don't kill you, sooner or later you will kill me. Tell me, why are you not convinced? Why can't I take your life? ”
He once gave Ji Ze a chance.
But what Ji Ze repaid him was betrayal and hurt again and again.
Such a vicious son, don't do it!
The only death through the ages!
Ji Ze never thought that he would be forced to drink poisonous wine one day.
Ji Ze looked at Wei Ninghou steadily, and suddenly laughed. Like a badly injured wolf about to breathe, the laughter was fierce and sharp. It sends chills down your spine when it sounds.
The guards a few meters away looked at each other and subconsciously took a few steps forward.
Wei Ning Hou didn't reply: "Give me back." ”
The guards had no choice but to retreat.
Wei Ninghou watched Ji Ze laugh wildly, watched Ji Ze laugh out of tears, watched Ji Ze gradually turn from laughing to crying, and watched Ji Ze burst into tears.
What Wei Ninghou was thinking in his heart, no one knew. The face carved out like a knife was as cold as ice and snow, and it was not moved in the slightest.
Ji Ze knelt on the ground at some point, his eyes were full of despair, and his voice became trembling and weak: "Father, I know it's wrong." You're going to spare me this time. I will sincerely change my father in the future."
As he spoke, he stretched out his arm from the bar, his face covered with pleading. Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
Even if you are hard-hearted, looking at such a picture, it is difficult not to be moved!
Wei Ninghou's expression finally had a crack, and he subconsciously stepped forward.
Ji Ze's teary eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Wei Ninghou's arm. pulled Wei Ninghou to the edge of the iron fence suddenly, and then grabbed Wei Ninghou's neck with two hands, his face was hideous and twisted and crazy: "You go to die!" ”
Wei Ninghou was shocked and angry, and wanted to break free, but his body was weak and weak, and he couldn't defeat Ji Ze at all
