Chapter 685: The bandits compromised and questioned
After receiving Zhu Changluo's request for help, Li Mi and Suo Changsheng returned to the edict prison as soon as possible, but Suo Changsheng did not immediately release the Gu, because he knew that if he wanted to obtain the most authentic confession, he could not easily relieve Zhao Bifu's pain.
His mental defense has long been broken, but there is still some distance from collapse, and he still has the strength to lie, so Suo Changsheng let Zhao Bifu know that he is in prison, but he just doesn't save him!
Under such torture, Zhao Bifu really realized what it means to survive and not to die.
In a place like the Imperial Prison, it is not that you can die if you want to, if it is someone else, you don't even have a chance to bite your tongue, but Zhu Changluo needs Zhao Bifu to speak, so he didn't plug his mouth.
This also made Zhao Bifu chew off his tongue and lips, baring his teeth, and how terrifying it was.
However, in Zhao Bifu's opinion, instead of suffering the pain of maggots drilling around, it is better to chew off the tongue and divert attention, which is more relaxed.
Everyone listened to his wailing and crying outside, until his voice weakened, and Suo Changsheng said to everyone: "You can go in." ”
Saying this, he took the lead and walked in, Li Mi followed closely behind, and although Zhu Changluo had palpitations, he still followed in after all.
But when they got inside, everyone had numb scalps and goosebumps all over their bodies.
At this time, Zhao Bifu was already dying, unable to struggle anymore, only his throat was still humming instinctively.
His body was covered with a thick layer of black caterpillars, and the wounds were all densely packed with eggs, but there were piles of eggs in his nostrils and ears.
Zhu Changluo and the others turned pale, they didn't dare to look at it at all, and no one dared to take half a step forward, as if the thin long hairs of insects diffused in the air made people itch all over.
"Clean up."
Although Li Mi is used to seeing it, this scene is too terrifying, and Zhao Bifu is already like a broken candle in the wind, Li Mi can't bear to torture him anymore.
Zhao Bifu is an extremely bad arsonist, if it weren't for Li Mi's timely rescue, the fire in the Salary Division would only take thousands of innocent lives, so Zhao Bifu also deserved it, and it was not a pity to die.
But even so, even Li Mi felt that such a method was too inhumane.
said that Zhu Changluo and the others, that is, Li Mi, were a little afraid of Suo Changsheng, and everyone said that the Gu Master was terrible, but this time he really realized it.
Suo Changsheng didn't think so, twisted a pillar of mugwort from the bag, slowly lit it, and then circled around Zhao Bifu's body, and those caterpillars actually fell to the ground one after another, curled up into a ball, and gradually shrank and disappeared.
After the caterpillar came out, Zhao Bifu also breathed a sigh of relief, but he left one wormhole after another on his body, and there were still piles of insect eggs left in the wormhole, which was really chilling.
"Write it." Suo Changsheng turned a blind eye to these terrifying things, untied the restraints on Zhao Bifu's hands, took the pen and paper, and said coldly to Zhao Bifu.
Zhao Bifu just breathed a sigh of relief, the whole person seemed to be reborn, looking at the pen and paper, but did not move, but said to Suo Changsheng.
"You...... It's against the way of heaven...... To be damned by heaven......" His tongue had been chewed up, and his words were slurred, but Li Mi and the others had heard it sincerely, but Suo Changsheng didn't think so.
"We are dark people, who see no light, and only seek a good death, not a long life, and it is only a matter of time before the damnation of God, and we need to say it? Since you don't have a tongue, don't move your mouth, let's do it, if you don't do it, it's my turn to do it. ”
As soon as Suo Changsheng said this, Zhao Bifu didn't dare to speak again, even if he trembled his hands, he wrote down his confession.
Although his hands trembled violently and his handwriting was extremely sloppy, the sharp edge of his pen showed that he was a person with profound cultural heritage, which was somewhat different from his short and swarthy image.
After he finished writing, Suo Changsheng took the confession and handed it to Li Mi, who just glanced at it and handed it to Zhu Changluo.
After reading the confession carefully, Zhu Changluo was also overjoyed!
This confession details how Wei Zhongxian recruited Zhao Bifu, bought the forbidden army in order to frame Zhu Youxiao, and set fire to Zhengyangmen, as long as this confession is reported to His Majesty the Emperor, he will no longer be able to restrain Zhu Youxiao!
"Your Highness, let's go out and get down to business first, just leave it to me here." As soon as Li Mi said this, Zhu Changluo felt warm and grateful for Li Mi's thoughtfulness, and immediately nodded his thanks, and left the edict with joy.
"You should go out first." Li Mi also sent out the jailers, and these jailers were eager to leave early, and if they were dispersed by amnesty, only Li Mi and Suo Changsheng would remain.
Li Mi squatted down and said to Zhao Bifu: "The surface work is done, it's time to get down to business." ”
Zhao Bifu's eyes shrank suddenly, but he shook his head and said vaguely: "I don't ...... I don't know what you mean......"
His tongue was rotten, his speech was spurting blood, and his words were sparse, but he could barely hear them clearly.
Li Mi's eyes were like knives, and he said to Zhao Bifu: "I won't say the same thing a second time, he doesn't have such a good temper and patience as me......"
When Zhao Bifu heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Suo Changsheng, and as if he had touched the eyes of the killing god, he quickly lowered his head.
He may be able to deceive Zhu Changluo, but he can't escape Li Mi's eyes.
Although Wei Zhongxian is now favored, his favor is unreasonable and too abrupt, so there must be an inside story in it.
And even if Wei Zhongxian is favored and wants to hire someone to frame Zhu Youxiao, he can't hire a character like Zhao Bifu, so it seems that Zhao Bifu is the main thing, and Wei Zhongxian is just a small role in cooperating!
"I'm just going to ask you one last time, who you really are, or rather, who are you!"
In the face of Li Mi's questioning, Zhao Bifu was silent, but Suo Changsheng said on the side: "If I were you, I would have told the truth early, after all, these worm eggs are about to be released......"
"If the eggs have been released...... Let's put it this way, you never thought that your greatest wish was to die happily, but unfortunately, this will become the greatest luxury......"
Zhao Bifu looked down, but saw that the eggs in the wormhole on his body were really a little impatient, and the whole person began to itch again!
"I ...... I'm the emperor's man! Let me go! ”
"When death comes, you dare to talk nonsense! How could the emperor Lao'er frame his grandson, he really didn't cry when he didn't see the king of Hades! ”
Suo Changsheng scolded fiercely, but Li Mi frowned, he actually believed Zhao Bifu's meaning!
"Why did the emperor frame Zhu Youxiao?" Li Mi asked, and Zhao Bifu didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"The emperor didn't want to frame him, but because he saw that I set him on fire, so he had to arrest him back to the palace......"
"Nonsense! The eldest grandson of the emperor knows which one you are, and what do you do when you see him! Suo Changsheng scolded on the side, but Zhao Bifu no longer concealed it.
"He doesn't recognize me, but he knows the emperor!"
"What? Are you saying that when you set the fire, the emperor was on the arrow tower of Zhengyangmen? Li Mi was also surprised, but he was finally able to explain why the forbidden army turned a blind eye to Zhao Bifu's arson, because the emperor was hiding in the dark and staring at it!
"Yes, when the fire was arsoned, the emperor was on the arrow tower, after the emperor's eldest grandson went back, it seemed that something had fallen, and he wanted to return to get it, but he didn't want to bump into the emperor, the emperor could only take him back to the palace, although the charge was thrown on his head, but it was a good ...... for the emperor's eldest grandson."
When Li Mi heard the inside story, he was even more puzzled.
This imperial city is Zhu Yijun's home, and the palace fires earlier have already made him feel painful, how could he set fire to Zhengyangmen by himself?
You must know that the symbolic significance of Zhengyangmen is greater than the practical significance, and the symbolic significance is extraordinary, Zhengyangmen caught fire, and was impeached by the officials, saying that the emperor was mediocre.
Zhu Yijun has nothing to do, he doesn't hide in the palace to raise his body, and drags his crippled body out to burn the building, first, he damages his family business, and secondly, he falls into a scolding mouth, this kind of loss is simply stupid!
But the more stupid it seems, the deeper the inside story here is, without a special reason, Zhu Yijun will never burn the building!
"Why did the emperor want to burn down Zhengyangmen?" Li Mi asked reluctantly, but Zhao Bifu shook his head resolutely.
"I really don't know about that...... It's really a worm eating bones, I really don't know, what can I say? ”
Li Mi looked at Suo Changsheng, the latter also nodded, and Li Mi knew that Zhao Bifu was telling the truth.
It's no wonder that Zhu Yijun chose to stay in the middle of Zhu Changluo's recital, it turned out that the real murderer turned out to be himself, Zhu Youxiao just went back to get something, and when he saw Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youxiao was a witness, no wonder he was taken under guard!
"Stop the prince first!"
As Li Mi said this, he left Suo Changsheng in the edict prison, and he ran out quickly, making sure to stop the prince.
If what Zhao Bifu said is true, Zhu Yijun will burn Zhengyangmen, there must be a deep inside story, and Zhu Youxiao will be fine.
But Zhu Changluo chased and fought hard in this matter, and he must make trouble, and he will inevitably touch Zhu Yijun's taboo, after all, the latter doesn't want this matter to ferment.
If Zhu Changluo submits this confession, Zhu Yijun will inevitably intervene, and it will be impossible to find out the inside story at that time.
And Zhu Changluo will touch Zhu Yijun's reverse scales because of this, but I am afraid that the end will not be too good-looking.
can let Zhu Yijun drag the crippled body to set fire, what is in this Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower?
In other words, behind the burning of Zhengyangmen, what is the deeper and more obscure meaning in it?
Did Zhu Yijun do this from his heart, or was he coerced?
Of course, there is another problem, Li Mi has been in and out of the palace all the year round, and even a dead man like Lu Jiamao is familiar with it, but he has never seen Zhao Bifu.
Where did this Zhao Bifu come from, what is his real identity, and is there still a powerful force behind him?
