Chapter 385: What is the Purpose?
Zhou Zhi found that their eyes were dull, as if they were walking dead.
Zhu Houzhao smiled, and then said, "Zhou Zhixiucai, these two people are prisoners, one was arrested for stealing everywhere and killing a family of four for no reason. The other one is a rape ** girl, hum! Although he is not very old, there are many ruined women, not a hundred but eighty.
Both of these people were death row prisoners, and it was Prince Ben who made a lot of effort to get them out of the prison of the Criminal Department. Now Prince Ben wants to hand these two people over to you to dispose of. I don't know if you have the guts to kill them! ”
Zhou Zhiwen was stunned when he heard this, this is Zhu Houzhao to test his courage! But what is he testing himself for like this?
Before Zhou Zhi could answer Zhu Houzhao's question, Zhu Houzhao continued, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that after you killed these two people, their corpses can't be ruined." Did you see that?
The Colorful Tiger of the Prince Ben is now hungry, and their corpse is to feed the Colorful Tiger. ”
Following the direction of Zhu Houzhao's finger, Zhou Zhi found that in the corner of the hall, there was a huge iron cage, and there was a tiger in the iron cage. At this time, the tiger seemed to be sleepy and listless.
Zhou Zhi has long known from the history books of later generations that after Zhu Houzhao became the emperor, he once built a leopard house. There are beautiful women in the leopard room, and there are all kinds of rare birds and animals. The leopard room is where Zhu Houzhao plays.
No way, Zhu Houzhao just loves to play, and he likes to play excitingly. Naturally, he will cultivate such an interest from a young age. So it's not surprising that tigers and the like were raised at this time.
The two prisoners naturally saw the tiger at this time, and they couldn't help but be frightened. They know that Zhou Zhi is the one who decides their life and death today. Without saying anything, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded repeatedly, "Young master, young master, help, we committed a crime in a moment of confusion, but we knew that we were wrong, and we also suffered a lot in the prison of the Criminal Department."
We all have seventy or eighty-year-old fathers and mothers in our family, and we also have children who are waiting to be fed. You still forgive us, we are just cattle and horses, and we can serve you as slaves for the rest of your life.
Young master, have mercy on us1"
They were in tears.
Hehe! It seems that those dying prisoners will have a father, a mother, and a poor child.
Zhu Houzhao smiled again and said, "Zhou Zhixiucai, you said that you let them go, and the prince didn't say a word, so he released them immediately."
Alas! This prince said that he was testing you today, but in fact it is not accurate, so he simply told you the truth.
Speaking of which, in fact, Prince Ben was also very embarrassed, when he asked the two of them to come over from the prison, he wanted to stuff them directly into the tiger cage and let the colorful tigers eat them. But the colorful tiger raised by Prince Ben was too lazy, just waiting for the meat to open its mouth, and let it bite people to death, but it didn't do anything.
Zhou Zhixiucai, you know that this prince is also a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't have the courage to kill people at all. As for the several eunuchs around the prince, Liu Jin, Wei Bin, Gao Feng, and the guard Ding Qiang and others are also useless things, and they don't dare to kill.
Especially Liu Jin, the three minions, have not been with Prince Ben for a few days, but Prince Ben also knows them very well, they are trembling when they kill a mouse, let alone kill someone.
This prince is really embarrassed, you said to let these two prisoners go, it is obviously unreasonable and lawful. You said that if you let the prince send them back to the prison, then the prince will have no face, right? So it's up to you, so you might as well kill them. ”
Although Zhu Houzhao explained it very clearly, the more Zhou Zhi listened, the more suspicious he became. If it is said that Zhu Houzhao did not dare to kill people, it may still be possible. Although Zhu Houzhao is very brutal in the future, he is still young now, and he may not have the courage to kill.
If it was said that Liu Jin and the other three eunuchs did not dare to kill, Zhou Zhi did not believe it. Liu Jin is burly and has gloomy eyes. He's a ruthless character, why wouldn't he dare to kill? As for that Gao Feng, Zhou Zhi didn't know much, only that he was also one of the future "Eight Tigers".
But the eunuch Wei Bin didn't dare to kill, Zhu Houzhao was definitely lying. Judging from Wei Bin's actions, although Wei Bin is thin, he should be a person who is not weak in martial arts, why doesn't he dare to kill?
There is no need to ask, these three eunuchs are all new to Zhu Houzhao's side. Maybe they want to establish an impression of kindness and soft-faced in front of Zhu Houzhao, right?
Hum! These three are all scheming and cunning.
As for Ding Qiang and the other five guards who didn't dare to kill, Zhou Zhi didn't believe it even more.
There are so many people in this hall who can kill people, and why did Zhu Houzhao choose himself, could it be that he is really testing his courage? But what was the purpose of his test of his guts?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhi said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, since these two prisoners have committed the heinous crimes, do they have a file?" ”
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, but he quickly set his eyes on Wei Bin. Wei Bin was also stunned, not thinking that Zhou Zhi was such a thoughtful person.
Wei Bin said, "The dossier was brought, someone came, take out the dossier, and let Zhou Xiucai see it." ”
Soon, two fourteen or fifteen-year-old little eunuchs walked out of the corner of the hall with the dossier in their hands and showed the dossier in front of Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi took the file and looked at it carefully.
Zhu Houzhao is right, one of these two people is a thief and the other is a thief, and they both have harmed countless innocent people. On every page of the dossier there is a large seal of the Criminal Department.
The evidence is overwhelming.
The more he looked at the dossier, the more angry Zhou Zhi's heart became. What's more, such two people do a lot of evil, where is half of humanity. I really don't understand why the Criminal Department left them now? Such a person should be decided.
Zhou Zhi's two starry eyes slowly narrowed, and his heart became colder and colder.
Handing the file to the two little eunuchs, he glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was paying close attention to him, and Zhou Zhi said softly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, since you asked me to kill them, then Zhou Zhi naturally obeyed the order, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask someone to get a knife for Zhou Zhi." ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, but then said, "Hmm! Well, this prince knew that Zhou Zhixiu was very bold and dared to kill these two people. Ding Qiang, let Zhou Zhixiu use your waist knife! ”
The guard Ding Qiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed his waist knife with a sheath to Zhou Zhi.
At the same time, the other four guards were very nervous around Zhu Houzhao. They were Zhu Houzhao's personal guards, and at this time Zhou Zhi had a sharp blade in his hand. Although they also knew that Zhou Zhi would not harm the prince, they did not dare to relax at all.
After all, the duty lies.
Zhou Zhi took the knife in his hand, and pulled out the waist knife with a little force, and a cold light suddenly flashed in the dim hall.
The two prisoners were stunned and lost their souls at this time, but they still knelt at Zhou Zhi's feet with great reluctance, begging for Zhou Zhi's pity and forgiveness.
