Chapter 523: Closing the Net and Returning Home (3)
Perhaps the night was too late, and the night wind was too strong, so the few oil lamps lit in the room were unusually bright, the doors were closed, and the flames remained calm except for the occasional burst and a little beating. It looks peaceful and calm, but the atmosphere in the room is tense and suffocating. There is a completely deep contrast outside the window, and the light in the room should make people feel warm in their hearts, but Song Zhengben's heart is so cold that he can't help but tremble, his heart is trembling, so his body is also trembling.
He knelt, his head pressed very low, his face was so white that there was no trace of blood facing down, his forehead touched the ground, so late at night in the middle of winter, he couldn't feel the coldness of the slate ground on his forehead, because at this time Song Zhengben's body was colder and harder than the slate, he didn't even dare to move, maybe as long as he moved, he could twist his neck that was so stiff that it was almost petrified.
Dou Jiande sat in a chair, surrounded by a table of delicate dishes that had barely been touched. There is a wine jug on his left hand, jade, which exudes a soft and beautiful color under the lamp, but everyone present at this time knows that the softness of this jade pot is only the appearance, and in the softness is a violent poison that can make people die in an instant. This poison is not very clever, it is much simpler and more direct than Zhu Yanhong of Dugu Ruizhi, and if he is poisoned by Zhu Yanhong, even the most famous miracle doctor in the world can't save him, and he can't see what poison it is. And the poison in this jug is only arsenic sold in various pharmacies, which can be used as medicine, can poison rats, and can also kill people.
The post-mortem in the government is very experienced, and if you are willing to examine it carefully, you can easily determine that the deceased was poisoned by arsenic. This kind of thing is so ordinary that it will make the servants lose interest in continuing to check.
But there is no doubt that even if Wang Fubao really drank this cup of poisonous wine with arsenic, and then the body was checked out by the pretendrants of the Zhaozhou Mansion, Song Zhengben did not worry about being found in the slightest, because the level of discovery would never involve him. Let's not talk about whether he dares to talk nonsense under the pressure of Song Baolai, the county guard of the prefecture of Zhaozhou, and whether there will be anyone in the court who can guess anything from Wang Fubao's death, just that even Song Baolai and Wu Bushan are the abandoned sons he has arranged, what else does he have to worry about?
Just the night before he was about to be released and then reactivated, Wang Fubao was poisoned to death, or died of a violent illness, so how would Xia King Dou Jiande react? If it is obviously not enough to kill a small governor of Zhaozhou, if you don't kill a county guard of Zhaozhou, how can Dou Jiande be so angry that he has been calculated?
He was the lord of Great Xia, how could he tolerate others calculating him on his territory?
Therefore, from the very beginning, Song Zhengben did not plan to keep Song Baolai, and as for a small character like Wu Bushan, it would not be a pity to die a hundred Song Zhengben.
Originally, everything had already been designed, and he sent his personal guard Ghost Tooth to kill Wang Yunyan and burn down the damn building, as long as the Star Picking Building was gone, there would be one less person in the know. If he kills Song Baolai and Wu Bushan again, the world knows that it was him Song Zhengben who killed Wang Fubao, and he is the only one left, what is he afraid of? Even if Dou Jiande would suspect something, without evidence, Dou Jiande would not easily and hastily take down him, the first important minister of Great Xia.
Taking him down will have too much impact on the Great Xia court. And Song Zhengben is confident, and now Dou Jiande is inseparable from his own assistance.
Originally, everything was in his calculations, and things were developing along the preset track, but who would have thought that at the most critical time, Xia King Dou Jiande would suddenly appear?
And Song Zhengben only glanced at Kong Deshao's proud and smug face, and he was sure that the reason why Dou Jiande came must have something to do with the surname Kong. He just couldn't figure out how Kong Deshao knew that he was going to attack Wang Fubao. In the absence of conclusive evidence, how could Kong Deshaw easily bear the charge of framing an important minister of the imperial court?
In the silence, under the fright, Song Zhengben could even sort things out clearly, trying to find out the mistakes.
Wang Yunyan......
Song Zhengben sighed in his heart, and said that he really looked away this time.
The boss of the Star Picking Building, the guy who looked thin and obscene, may have been calculating himself from the beginning. His purpose was to bring himself down, and he may have had this purpose with him since the first day he came to Zhaozhou. No...... Song Zhengben smiled bitterly in his heart, Wang Yunyan was by no means simply here for himself, his purpose was to contact the important ministers in the Great Xia court, so as to obtain the information he needed. Knocking down a big man by the way when necessary, of course, is also something that Wang Yunyan is happy to see.
Whose man will he be?
Luo Yi? Li Mi? Wang Shichong?
Neither!
At this moment, Song Zhengben's heart suddenly lit up!
Wang Yunyan is the person of Yan Wang Li Xian! Wang Yunyan...... Yanyun Wang ...... Song Zhengben scolded himself in his heart, why didn't he think about the hidden meaning of this name? It was before King Xia decided to go south that Wang Yunyan arrived in Zhaozhou, and his purpose could not have been more obvious. King Xia led his army to the south, but Li Xian, the king of Yan, led his troops to the north, killing rampantly in Hebei, and was able to avoid the reinforcements he sent, and Wang Yunyan's role in it is self-evident.
I'm fucking stupid! Idiot!
He thought with annoyance, the few people he sent were only afraid to go on the road, and Li Xian, the king of Yan, already knew it clearly, how could he still be trapped?
……
……
"Song Zhengben"
Dou Jiande's face was still gloomy, and the deliberately suppressed anger in his eyes was on the verge of collapse. His hands clenched into fists on his knees, white joints showing the anger burning in his heart at this moment. He slowly turned his head, looked at Song Zhengben who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "After thinking about it for so long, you haven't figured out how to exonerate yourself?" ”
"Minister......
Song Zhengben raised his head and glanced at Dou Jiande, and then quickly lowered: "Minister, the crime deserves death." ”
"Lone is not interested in killing you 10,000 times, once is enough, but if you don't make things clear, you will never die easily."
Dou Jiande glanced at Kong Deshao, who immediately took out a few pieces of tissue paper from his arms and handed them to him. Dou Jiande casually threw the pieces of paper in front of Song Zheng himself, and said coldly: "See for yourself, do you think you made it seamlessly?" ”
Song Zhengben picked up the tissue paper on the ground and looked at it a few times, and his body trembled violently.
The paper records his previous visits to the Star Picking Tower, each time it is only a few words, but the things he has done and the most critical words he has said are clearly recorded, which involves not only the number of soldiers and horses he sent to besiege Li Xian, but also his complaints about Dou Jiande and his angry abuse of Kong Deshao and others, these words have only one audience, that is, Wang Yunyan, the hateful and hateful boss of the Star Picking Tower. Of course, the audience on this piece of paper has become another person, a spy from Yanyunzhai, as for who it is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this person must not be Wang Yunyan.
"Not only do you want to kill Lone's humerus minister, but you also collude with Yanyun thief Li Xian to seek to seize Lonely's country. Song Zhengben, Lone just can't figure out one thing, Lone has already given you the status of a supreme minister, what did Li Xian use to make you apostatize and become a traitor who makes Lone disgusting? ”
"The minister is wronged!"
Song Zhengben kowtowed and cried: "The minister did say these words, but he would never and never colluded with Yanyun thief Li Xian. The minister wanted to kill Wang Fubao only out of selfishness, and it was definitely not to collude with Yanyun thief Li Xian to be unfavorable to you. The minister is guilty of capital crime, but the minister is not a capital crime of treason for collaborating with the enemy. ”
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Dou Jiande waved his hand, and suddenly let out a long sigh. His face softened a little, as helpless and sad as a deflated ball.
"What kind of capital crime did you commit, I don't plan to pursue it, you are the number one minister in Great Xia, Gu values you, respects you, and gives you a position above 10,000 people under one person, but you only think about your own selfish interests, just this point, there is no need for Gu to keep you. Lone's anger now is not because you betrayed Lone, but because Lone can't break you into pieces to get angry. Because you are an important minister of Great Xia, if you are executed for collaborating with the enemy, then how will the people talk about Lone? How will you question Lone? How will a lonely enemy clap his hands? ”
"Lonely's anger is because you can't kill people to relieve your anger."
He waved his hand and said, "The cause you planted yourself, you will complete the fruit yourself." Enjoy the poisonous wine on the table yourself, Lone will leave you a whole corpse, and tomorrow the obituary of your violent illness and death will be posted, and Lone will give you a posthumous knighthood, and give your family some rewards...... But don't worry, they'll be going to the Netherworld to reunite with you soon. ”
"Minister......
Song Zhengben opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything anymore. He knew that all the explanations were meaningless, and from Dou Jiande's eyes, he saw a decisive killing intent. He stood up trembling and dusted his robes, his gray hair hanging down from his temples like snow hanging from dead wood.
"Dou Jiande"
He suddenly smiled, looked into Dou Jiande's eyes and said: "You will never dominate the world one day, you are no longer Dou Jiande when you just raised troops to resist the tyrannical Sui, now you are a selfish, greedy, stubborn, suspicious, useless reckless man, just an idiot sitting on the big dream of the Spring and Autumn Period." In order to get rid of Wang Fubao, you asked me to insist that he be taken down and imprisoned. And now you're going to use Wang Fubao, so I'm going to have to be damned, right? I'm glad to die before you, because I really don't want to see you tied up like a human pig and minced into mashed meat and fed to dogs, it will be disgusting. ”
He laughed insolently, turned to point at Condesau's nose and said, "You and I can't tolerate it, I have long thought that when there is no relaxation between you and me, either I kill you or you kill me." ”
"I've never thought of it that way, I've been thinking about how a shameless person like you can die."
Condesau raised his chin and said, "You have insulted the Lord, and I want to tear your skin now." ”
Song Zhengben sneered: "What else are you pretending? I just scolded you for what you wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold, you don't have to be so proud and proud, your fate is definitely much more desolate and miserable than mine, I will watch you in the underworld, see if you are glorious and rich and old, or die without a place to bury! ”
"Kill him!"
was scolded by Song Zhengben so bloodless, Dou Jiande gave an order and shook his hand and walked out.
Song Zhengben looked at Dou Jiande's back, and suddenly sighed and said: "I haven't lost my mind yet, and let people chop me with a knife, and King Xia still has to save me." Kong Deshao, you are a traitorous villain, but you also have some talents, if you don't just slap the horse and assist with all your heart, then King Xia will still have a chance to compete in the world. ”
"Don't worry about it."
Kong Deshao pointed to the poisonous wine on the table and smiled: "Do you want me to help you warm the wine and change a few hot dishes?" ”
"Thanks"
"You're going to watch me die?"
He asked Condesau.
Condesau nodded and said, "This is the one thing I look forward to the most, and fortunately I did it." ”
Song Zhengben nodded, and then asked in a flat tone, "Can I wait until dawn before I die?" You and I can sit down and have a drink, of course, the poisonous wine will be left for me to drink last, you and I have been hostile and hateful for so long, but I have never had a good conversation, I don't know if you have this stomach. ”
"It doesn't matter ......"
Kong Deshao sat down in the chair, crossed his legs and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, what else am I anxious about at this point?" I will fulfill your request, and I will not let you fail to fulfill your last wish before you die. Actually, I have a very good heart, especially for the dead. ”
