"Okay, you've listened to the inside story, the saint is still waiting to ask you, let's go." Xiling Yue saw that his expression was gloomy, and took the lead in walking out.

The Shence Army dragged Yang Wenhuai from the ground, tied his hands, and escorted him out of the cell.

Only then did Yang Wenhuai find that the doors of several cells next door were wide open, and it was obvious that the Shence Army was ambushed here. These cells had windows and closed doors, so they did not fall for his incense.

"Lord Xichuan County." He suddenly shouted coldly.

Xilingyue turned to look at him and couldn't help but shudder: "What? ”

"Remember, the nosy man has a short life."

Time passed little by little, and the arrow had gone through two rounds and three quarters under the eaves of the Shicui Palace, indicating that it was the end of the time.

The Son of Heaven paced back and forth in the hall, feeling depressed.

Just half an hour ago, Ma Gongzheng of the Gongzheng Bureau came to talk back, saying that Xilingyue and Pei Xingli had caught the mastermind behind the killing of Ji Meiren, and this person was actually Yang Wenhuai, the servant who had served him for many years! This was somewhat surprising and even heart-wrenching.

In addition to the accident and heartache, he had a little more happiness and guilt. Fortunately, it was not his wife Guo Guifei who did it, and the guilt was also because of her.

The Son of Heaven suddenly felt irritable, and ordered the eunuch who served: "Go, see why no one has come yet?" ”

"Yes." The eunuch retreated, and didn't go far before he saw a team of Shence troops hurrying towards the direction of Shicui Palace, and the people who started were Xilingyue and Pei Xingli, so he hurriedly ran back to report.

Not long after, Xilingyue and others entered the hall and bowed to Li Chun in turn. And Yang Wenhuai was tied up with five flowers and thrown on the floor tiles in the hall to accept the questioning of the Son of Heaven.

"Wen Huai, I never thought that it would be you!" Li Chun was very sad.

Yang Wenhuai suddenly cried loudly, struggling to kowtow to Li Chun: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the minions, and it's the minions who have failed your grace!" Give your slave a chance to die! ”

His crying appearance was like two people in prison, and Xi Lingyue looked at him in surprise. Pei Xingli understood that Yang Wenhuai wanted to move people with emotion and begged Li Chun to give a light sentence.

I saw him crying in tears at the moment, looking like he was remorseful, shaking his head and crying: "It's all the slaves who were impulsive and were devoured by the devil and their conscience!" ”

"Why did you kill mercy? Why? Even if he learned that Concubine Ai was killed by Yang Wenhuai, Li Chun didn't make a big fuss. Maybe Ji Meiren has been dead for too long, maybe Du Qiuniang filled the gap in his heart at the right time, and now he wants to know the reason more than to kill.

Yang Wenhuai's face was full of tears, he sniffed hard, sobbed and said: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, after you ascended the throne the year before last, the slave ...... The slave relied on his meritorious support and embezzled 100,000 yuan of money from the Inner Servant Province, and was accidentally discovered by Ji Meiren...... She threatened to report the slave to you, and it was the end of the year, so the slave begged her to report it after the Shangyuan Festival, so that you could have a good New Year, and let the slave have a time to explain to the family. ”

Ji Meiren was kind-hearted and agreed under the coaxing of the minions. The minion wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of your visit to the Qinzheng Building on the Shangyuan Festival to create an 'accident' to kill her. Unexpectedly, that day, Ji Meiren suddenly contracted a cold and temporarily canceled the trip, so the slave forged your love poem in a hurry, asked Fang Fei from the Li Zheng Hall to hand it to her, and tricked her into going to the Qinzheng Building......"

Yang Wenhuai said the inside story bitterly, and at the same time shed a few tears. Li Chun's heart gradually softened, and his face was slightly pale: "Wen Huai, you can confess this matter to me!" You have served me for many years, for tens of thousands of dollars, will I still kill you? How innocent is pity! ”

Yang Wenhuai pretended to regret not being at the beginning, lowered his head and said: "It's just that the slave is deceived by money, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed in the slave, so ...... That's what happened to me. ”

Li Chun sighed heavily after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this situation, Xilingyue and Pei Xingli glanced at each other, and they both knew that something was wrong. With Li Chun's current performance, where is the appearance of Yang Wenhuai's capital crime? After learning that he was a bribe, he obviously wanted to let him go.

And this is exactly what Yang Wenhuai thinks. He has served Li Chun for more than ten years, and he knows the temperament of the Son of Heaven best, as long as it is not a major event that rebels and shakes the fundamental affairs of the imperial court, the Son of Heaven will definitely be lenient to the loyal people around him. Bribery is the most trivial matter in Li Chun's eyes, after all, eunuchs can't leave heirs, and most of the greedy money is for the sake of supporting the elderly, which is also human nature.

Seeing that Li Chun's face was already shaken, Xiling Yue was anxious and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, don't you listen to Yang Wenhuai's words!" Don't forget what happened in the Zichen Palace, it wasn't an accident! ”

Li Chun suddenly thought of this, and his face changed suddenly.

Yang Wenhuai also looked stunned, and secretly said badly.

Xiling Yue was busy and said: "Holy Lord, Yue'er has already reported the inside story to you about the fall of the plaque in Zichen Palace, which shows that Yang Wenhuai wants to kill the king." It can be seen that the reason why he killed Ji Meiren will never be so simple, you can't be fooled by him! ”

Pei Xingli also helped on the side: "Yes, Shengshang, Yang Wenhuai has been dormant in the palace for many years, and he has martial arts, I am afraid that ordinary means will not be able to stop him, and he must be tortured to force him to confess." ”

Li Chun remembered what happened in the Zichen Palace, as well as Yang Wenhuai's outstanding martial arts, Fang Cai's soft-heartedness immediately disappeared, and he said coldly: "Indeed, let him try the torture of the Wuhou Dynasty." ”

As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, Yang Wenhuai couldn't help but shudder. When Empress Wu was in power, he appointed cool officials, and I don't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases were caused, but they were also extremely effective, suppressing many people with dissenting intentions and maintaining the stability of the Wu Dynasty. And the torture studied by the cool officials led by Junchen can make the most iron-blooded men fearful.

Yang Wenhuai knew that the Son of Heaven would inevitably do what he said, and he couldn't stop fighting in his heart, and he had forgotten Fang Cai's words.

Xiling Yue saw that he was trembling like chaff, so she then warned: "Yang Wenhuai, you are an unforgivable crime in trying to kill the monarch and assassinate the concubine in the Zichen Palace. It's better to tell your heart and ask the Holy God to give you a grace and let you die happily. ”

However, Yang Wenhuai gritted his teeth, obviously unwilling to reveal.

Seeing this, Pei Xingli also coldly mentioned: "It's okay if you don't say it, it's just a matter of effort." King Fu has gone to check your movements in recent years, who you have been in contact with frequently, whose money you have received, and what things you have done, and it is not without flaws. And your relatives outside the palace, I'm afraid they have also been taken care of by others. Pei Xingli evoked a cold smile, "As long as you find them, you can get close to them under the pretense of your name, and you can also make a statement." ”

This is obviously a threat, Yang Wenhuai said angrily when he heard it: "Pei Xingli, I have no grievances with you, you can't ......"

Before he finished speaking, a report sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, King Fu is here." ”
