Chapter 21: Knowing the Truth
I looked at Liang Wan, in order to catch her, how much effort I put into it, how many hidden piles I arranged, and finally found out where they wanted to hide the princess, and after they were ambushed, I besieged them in the form of a military formation, and then used strong force and the safety of the princess to threaten them, and finally captured them alive, although it seemed very simple and smooth, but I spent too much thought. In order to force Liang Wan to confess, I used this way to make her feel powerless to protect herself, only by making her lose all her confidence, it is possible to make her confess obediently, otherwise she will see through and I don't want to hurt the princess, then it will be miserable.
Liang Wan said dismally: "Who are you?" ”
I said lightly: "Piaoxiang and I have a white head appointment, the night before her tragic death, she was at my residence, but unfortunately in order to start and finish, she couldn't bear to refuse Yanniang's request, so she died." ”
Liang Wan looked at the people in front of her, quickly searching for memories, thinking about anyone related to Liu Piaoxiang, but although Liu Piaoxiang had many ministers under her skirt, none of them would match the behavior of the person in front of her, she carefully thought about the scene before Liu Piaoxiang died, when she walked into the room, she saw Liu Piaoxiang bathing, her beautiful face was as angry as fire, seeing herself, she said coldly: "I didn't expect Princess Mingyue to be like this, she actually deceived and insulted a little woman like me." Liang Wan still remembered her euphemistic persuasion, but Liu Piaoxiang said with a cold expression: "You are in a high position, I have nothing to say, even if you sue the government, it is useless, you can rest assured, I have my own life to live." She obviously expressed her forbearance like that, but she was cold, she didn't believe that Liu Piaoxiang, who had dared to insult Zhao Delong, the king of Han, in public, would not pursue this matter, thinking that as long as Liu Piaoxiang spread the word about it, her reputation would come to naught, if she lost her foothold in Nanchu, then everything she worked hard to manage would be owned by someone, and she finally poisoned Liu Piaoxiang before she left.
I saw Liang Wan's thoughts, and a monstrous anger surged in my heart, if she hadn't killed Piaoxiang, how could she think so deeply, I said coldly: "Do you remember?" ”
Liang Wan glanced at me and said in her heart: "It turns out that the reason why Liu Piaoxiang made a compromise and promised not to retaliate against herself was to reunite with her lover, it seems that her lover status should not be too high, otherwise Liu Piaoxiang would not agree not to retaliate." ”
Just as she continued to think, the man in black with a cold voice walked up to her, grabbed the placket on her chest and pulled it, and the broken silk flew away, Liang Wan only felt a cold chest, and her breasts were half naked, Liang Wan screamed in shame, knowing that this was a warning to herself, so she had to say: "Since it has reached this point, I believe that Your Excellency has enough evidence, yes, Liu Piaoxiang was killed by me." ”
She confessed, I looked at Liang Wan fiercely, and asked, "Okay, then tell me, who is the bastard who bullied Piaoxiang and asked you to clean up the aftermath for him?" ”
Only then did Liang Wan understand that the key to her ability to save her surname was here. She was originally a woman with excellent intelligence, how could she not take advantage of the opportunity now, she smiled and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency wants to know about this matter, and I am the only one who knows about this matter, may I ask Your Excellency, what price are you willing to pay in exchange for this news?" ”
I said lightly: "I knew you would do this, but if I didn't have enough certainty, how could I do it, Miss Liang, no matter how important your identity is, how prominent your status is, now that you are in my hands, I can do whatever I want, if you are willing to say that person, I promise to let you die peacefully, if you refuse to say, I have thousands of ways to let you die without turning a blind eye." ”
Liang Wan smiled coldly and said: "I know, for a woman, there are many ways to hurt her, you can let all the men in this room insult me, you can torture me, you can also ruin my appearance, but you should believe that I, Liang Wan, have an iron heart, no matter how you hurt me, as long as I don't say anything about death, then it will be you who will die in the end, if you are willing to negotiate fairly with me, then I promise to tell you the identity of this person one day." ”
I clapped my hands lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, I am worthy of being the leader of Dayong's secret agents, you say, is my original caution justified." ”
Chen Zhi said coldly: "The son is really talented, and his subordinates are obedient." ”
I walked up to Liang Wan and said coldly: "I already knew that you would do this, you have the belief that you will die, I also believe that you can survive all kinds of torture, be good at medicine, and let you taste the greatest pain and insult in life, these people are your subordinates, I can let you beg in front of them, and then you will have the face to be their leader." ”
Liang Wan endured the fear in her heart and said, "I know you can do it, I heard that someone is good at making strong pills, if a woman takes it is unimaginable, but as long as I remember that I am trapped by the drug, I will not be unable to raise my head because of this." ”
I sneered, "You can kill them afterwards, and you won't know about your ugly deeds, will you?" ”
Liang Wan said lightly: "How could I be like this." But there was horror in her eyes, and that was exactly what she had planned.
I chuckled and said, "You are still as good as a jade, but I believe that you are not a clean woman, so why don't you have a lover, is it because you don't look down on a man in the world, or do you have a crush, or is it very important for you to be a virgin." ”
Xiao Shunzi said suddenly: "Childe, the martial arts she practices should not require a woman to guard herself, I think she has a crush, or her purpose is to be someone's wife and concubine, so she must maintain her virgin body." ”
I looked at Liang Wan's expression and said with a smile: "Maybe it's really the case, come on, bring wine, and give her a drink." ”
Thief Li walked over with Bai Yi with a pot of wine, Bai Yi pinched Liang Wan's nose, Thief Li easily poured the pot of wine to her, they were skillful, Liang Wan had no room to resist, but the wine still had a small half of the wine to her chest, Liang Wan waited for them to let go of her hand, coughed a few times, only to feel that her chest was cold, but her throat was hot, and her face was even more red because of breathlessness, Liang Wan only felt that everyone's eyes fell on her, although she was ashamed, she knew that life and death, honor and disgrace were tied to this moment, So he was still strong and raised his head and looked at the black-shirted Confucian student, thinking that if he bit his tongue and killed himself when he was uncontrollable, he would be prevented, and those people would know their absolute decision.
After a while, Liang Wan didn't feel the spring ripples, but felt refreshed, lively and lively, as if she was in a fairyland, Liang Wan gradually became a little lazy, and she couldn't wait to lie down and sleep, but when her body moved, she was firmly bound. At this time, a gentle voice came from his ear and said, "Miss Liang, do you want to rest?" ”
Liang Wan let out a low moan, "I want to get some sleep." ”
The voice asked again: "You have been in Nanchu for so long, you must have bought a lot of high-ranking officials, and there are many spies under you, right?" ”
Liang Wan looked confused and replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Yong sent me to protect His Royal Highness the Princess, and later asked me to preside over the Jiangnan spy report, but unfortunately I can only live up to his love, Master said, His Royal Highness the Prince is the true son of heaven." ”
"Who is your master?" The voice was still asking her.
Liang Wan said impatiently: "Of course my master is the master of the Fengyi Sect. ”
"Oh, then who asked you to invite Miss Liu to Mingyue Tower?"
As soon as Liang Wan said the word "yes", she suddenly came to her senses, she stared at the cold light, and said coldly: "What did I say?" At this time, one of his subordinates said coldly: "You said that you betrayed King Yong and took refuge in the crown prince." Ahh
I looked at Liang Wan, whose face was like ashes, and said, "You even told you about the betrayal, so what else can you hide?" ”
Liang Wan sneered: "Although I said some things in a gaffe, it's a big deal that I will blatantly serve the prince in the future, as for the person you want to know, it is my only bargaining chip, so if you are unwilling to pay the price, I will definitely not tell the identity of that person." In fact, why do you bother so much for a prostitute, I don't know how many good women there are in the world, there are many sisters with extraordinary character in my Fengyi Sect, if Your Excellency likes it, Liang Wan is willing to be a matchmaker on your behalf. ”
I said lightly: "Although Piaoxiang unfortunately fell in the dust, her heart is like the moon in the nine days, and although Miss Liang is called Mingyue, her behavior is not as good as the woman in the wind and dust." ”
Liang Wan was so angry that her face turned pale, but I sighed softly, Liang Wan was really difficult to deal with, I began to deliberately talk about the medicine, so everyone would think that the wine I gave her was mixed with medicine, I did mix the medicine in the wine, but it was a poppy refined [***] medicine, the biggest disadvantage of this [***] medicine is that it is difficult to work if the user is prepared, I once asked the captive Da Yongmi spy to take this medicine, but they still didn't say a word without preparation, So I first let Liang Wan understand my purpose, so that she lost her guard, and then let her take the "flattering medicine" that she thought she could resist, and Liang Wan, who took the [***] medicine, really said something, unfortunately, Liang Wan was too strict about life and death-related things, so she didn't succeed, but I was not discouraged, this was originally a step in my plan, so far, Liang Wan has understood my concern about this matter, so when I use the killer weapon, she will agree to exchange conditions with me.
I chuckled and said, "It seems that Miss Liang really refuses to say it, since this is the case, I have no choice but to offend." ”
Liang Wan said proudly: "I want to see what other means you have." ”
I said lightly: "I want to invite the girl to listen to a good play." After that, I waved my hand, Chiji gave me a salute, turned around and pushed open the stone door behind my seat, at the moment when the stone door opened, everyone's eyes saw a large bronze mirror with a height of one person placed on the side, the light in the mirror was turned off, and a large bed with tassel curtains could be seen, and on the edge of the bed sat a girl in plain clothes, it was Princess Changle, from the perspective of the mirror, Princess Changle should be in the room behind the stone door. Chiji walked in, and then the stone door closed. All Dayong's spies looked at me with a terrible gaze, as if they had guessed my methods. With a wave of my hand, one of the men pulled out a brass pipe hidden in the stone door, and everyone heard a sound coming from the brass pipe.
"Who are you, what do you want to do to me?"
"No, don't come here, don't come here." Then came the sound of cracking, and the sound of the girl crying and struggling.
"Stop, stop." All the big Yongmi spies are shouting. Only Liang Wan was still blue and did not make a sound.
I motioned to close the brass pipe, and although I couldn't hear it, the people were even more worried, and they began to struggle desperately, and some people began to shout.
I said coldly: "Miss Liang, if you refuse to say what I want to know, then what will Princess Changle suffer, you will understand, I want to know, if His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong knows that his beloved daughter is tortured like this because of you, what will he do to you, what the prince will do to you, and what King Yong will do to you." ”
Liang Wan raised her head in despair, she knew that she had fallen into the deepest trap, this person was as terrible as a devil, from his means of dealing with himself, it could be seen that he was a deep-minded demon, he definitely did this kind of thing, there was only one thing he would not do, that is, to hurt himself, because he couldn't withstand the consequences of her not saying anything.
She said bitterly: "Let your subordinates stop, if the princess is not harmed, and you promise not to hurt me, then I will tell you." ”
I said lightly: "Say it quickly, my subordinates' surnames are not in a hurry, you say it, it's still too late." As for your surname, I promise that I will not take your surname today, and I will not hurt you again. ”
Liang Wan said sadly: "I can only believe you, that person is the crown prince Li An." ”
I frowned and said coldly, "Are you talking nonsense?" How could Prince Dayong come to Nanchu? ”
Liang Wan said calmly: "The king of Qi promised that the lord of Southern Chu could be called the emperor, but after breaking Shu, he would have to rebel against, if there is no person with a higher status to appease, wouldn't this matter make Dayong lose face, so His Royal Highness the prince secretly arrived in Southern Chu, except for Zhao Jia, he didn't see anyone, before leaving, the prince said that he listened to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Liu Piaoxiang must be seen, I originally thought that Liu Piaoxiang was just a Qinglou woman, and when I saw the prince, I didn't fall in love with each other, who knew that Liu Piaoxiang just sang a song after coming and was about to leave, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry and used force, and asked me to deal with the aftermath afterwards, so I had to kill Liu Piaoxiang. Liang Wan spread a small wilderness, although Li An let him clean up the aftermath, but did not let her kill, he thought that as long as he gave more gold and silver, it would be fine, but Liang Wan was afraid that Liu Piaoxiang would spread this matter, and her reputation would be discredited, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be criticized, so she killed people and killed her mouth, for Liang Wan, Liu Piaoxiang's life and death were just a thought.
I looked at Liang Wan, and when I finally learned the truth of the matter, I was almost discouraged, how could I take revenge on the prince of a country. Liang Wan seemed to see the change in me, and said, "Your Excellency, if you are willing to abandon your previous suspicions, Liang Wan will guarantee that you will rise to the top." ”
I said coldly, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
Liang Wan said coldly: "You can only believe me, if you don't believe me, of course you can kill me in the opposite direction." ”
I didn't make a sound, I wouldn't kill her until I confirmed that she was telling the truth, and Liang Wan also knew this, so she dared to say it.
At this time, a Dayong secret agent said: "Your Excellency, you haven't let the princess go." ”
I didn't speak, Chen Zhi opened the stone door, and everyone saw that in the bronze mirror, the princess was still sitting there, but her posture changed a little, and Chiji walked out and closed the door.
I glanced at them and explained: "Don't worry, Her Royal Highness the princess has a rough fate, how can I embarrass her, my subordinate is good at ventriloquism, so I make you laugh." ”
Those people were relieved that the princess had not been harmed, which made them very relieved, but Liang Wan looked at me viciously and said, "It turned out to be you, I know who you are, Jiang Zhe, you are Jiang Zhe." ”
Her words were like a cold wind blowing, so that everyone quieted down, my people were naturally because of the exposure of my identity, but the people of Dayong were because they were surprised, they all knew that I was a top talent.
I said coldly, "How could Miss Liang recognize me." ”
Liang Wan said proudly: "Your voice, I finally remembered where I heard your voice, and also, when you mentioned the princess, your eyes were gentle and full of sympathy and pity, when you met the princess, I saw your eyes." ”
I glanced at Liang Wan appreciatively and said, "It's really amazing, Miss Liang is worthy of being the best in Dayong's secret spy, and she actually saw through my identity as a person who has little contact." ”
Liang Wan looked a little strange, and said coldly: "Jiang Zhe, you have kidnapped the princess and committed a big crime, if you are willing in the future, I can introduce you to the Dayong Imperial Court, and the future will be bright at that time, why should you be embarrassed for a woman and your own future." ”
I smiled coldly and said: "Miss Liang, you are really terrible, the so-called, the mouth of the green bamboo snake, the needle behind the wasp's tail, both are not poisonous, the most poisonous woman's heart, I only believe it today, yes, I won't kill you, I won't hurt you, I just need your memory and talent." ”
Xiao Shunzi walked over and stuffed a red pill the size of a dragon's eye into Liang Wan's mouth, Liang Wan wanted to struggle, but Xiao Shunzi's cold hand made her lose the courage to resist, I looked at her frightened eyes lightly, and said: "I didn't kill you, nor did I damage you at all, take this pill, you will forget everything, although I can't be sure how much you will forget, but I can guarantee that you will no longer remember everything that happened today." ”
Liang Wan looked at me in fear, she thought that I might not let her go so easily, but she would never have thought that I would use this way, she exclaimed, "I lied to you, what I told you is not true." ”
I said coldly: "Miss Liang, if you want to hide it for others, do you need to prevaricate with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Liang Wan only felt that the memories of the scenes were surging from the bottom of her heart, the joy of her childhood, the hard training of martial arts when she was a girl, the surprise of seeing His Royal Highness King Yong for the first time, and all kinds of intrigues in Nanchu, but what appeared in the end was Liu Piaoxiang's eyes full of regret before she died, and then everything gradually drifted away. In the end, Liang Wan had a childlike smile on her face, she was so innocent and flawless.
I said lightly: "You killed my wife, I ruined your life, although it is not a tie, but you are guilty, Miss Liang, if we don't say goodbye, then you can live well, if you and I are unlucky, he said that the strange road reunion, I had to take your surname and comfort my beloved wife's soul in the sky." ”
I looked up, except for Xiao Shunzi, all the eyes of everyone were full of fear, even Chen Zhi and Chi Ji and Thief Li, they had all seen me use medicine to destroy the memories of those children who were sent away, but at that time I used a small amount of medicine, so it was just to make them lose their memories for two or three years. I smiled slightly, it was not bad that they were afraid in their hearts, looking at those Dayong's spies, I said lightly: "You know my identity, I'm sorry, I can't let you leave like this." ”
One said, "You're going to let us take this medicine too?" ”
I shook my head and said: "The value of this medicine is better than the same amount of gold, I will not be willing to use it casually, I will take your surname, anyway, you have been in Nanchu for many years, it is not an exaggeration for me to kill you." ”
A sad look flashed in the eyes of those people, and one of them said: "Your Excellency is a high-ranking official of Southern Chu, and you have a national enmity and a private enmity with me, and it has nothing to do with you killing us, but since Your Excellency pities Her Royal Highness the Princess, please do not hand over the princess to the people of Southern Chu, please send Your Royal Highness to King Yong, although we have no hatred." ”
I glanced at the man and said: "Today's matter, you can't tell heaven and earth, you can't tell your parents, you know these secrets, even if I don't kill you, you can't survive the prince's pursuit, if you are willing to keep your promise, I can return your blades, let you send Her Royal Highness the princess to King Yong, but you need to commit suicide afterwards to keep the secret." ”
Surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he said, "Your Excellency is willing to believe us." ”
I said solemnly: "I believe in the promise of the Dayong warriors, if you break your promise, it will only make me look down on His Royal Highness King Yong, you have seen my means today, you should know that if I want to assassinate a person, it is not difficult, and then His Royal Highness Yongwang will be the price of your breach of trust." ”
The big man thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency's methods are so ruthless and ruthless, and your plan is so strict, if you are secretly plotting to assassinate His Royal Highness King Yong, you are really five points sure." Okay, our cheap life, what's important, completing the task is the most important thing, just ask Your Excellency to agree, we want to tell His Royal Highness King Yong about the collusion between the crown prince and Liang Wan. ”
I said lightly, "Yes, it's just that you can't mention anything about us people and clumsy people. ”
The big man agreed, I smiled slightly, turned around and went out, and Chen Zhi would do the rest of the thing. Xiao Shunzi followed behind me and asked, "Will they keep their word?" ”
I nodded, "I can't be wrong, they're all staunch warriors." ”
