Chapter 204: The Truth of the Case
Hu Heng frowned tightly, "These questions can indeed be answered, but before that, I want to know why I would be suspicious of my head?" ”
He is the deputy general under Chu Xiping, and he has nothing to do with the matter of grain and grass, and since Feng Yihan and they came to the border pass, he asked himself if he had not shown the slightest flaw, and he really couldn't understand what the problem was.
"It's very simple, from the very beginning yours completely shut yourself out, without even the slightest interference, not even superfluous attention." Feng Yihan paused, "But because of this, this matter makes people feel a little strange." ”
"What's strange, the corruption of grain and grass has nothing to do with me, and it is natural that I don't care about nature."
Feng Yihan hooked his lips and said: "The matter of grain and grass corruption, even if it has nothing to do with you, but you and Li Zhi have been friends for so many years after all, but whether it was before or after Li Zhi was exposed, your attitude was too calm, as if you were deliberately avoiding suspicion." ”
"Is that just because of that suspicion of me?" Hu Heng looked at Feng Yihan, "Can't I just be gossiped about because I don't want to be implicated, so I protect myself?" ”
Feng Yihan shook his head, "Naturally, it's okay, if it's just because of this, it's really unreasonable to suspect you." However, in order to expose Li Zhi as soon as possible, General Hu leaked a piece of news to us in advance. ”
Hu Heng thought for a while, "Are you saying that Li Zhi didn't have any news of going home?" ”
"That's right." Feng Yihan nodded, "At that time, it was not only Li Zhi who did not go home, I asked people to inquire carefully, and you did not return home that day, as for what you said about Li Zhi not returning home at all, it should be that you were afraid that this matter would be delayed for too long, so you deliberately said the news, so that we could put all our suspicious eyes on Li Zhi." Ben Taifu is right, General Hu? ”
Hu Heng pursed his lips, he did not return home that day, but secretly followed Li Zhi. He just deliberately pretended to say a few words casually, but he didn't expect to make Feng Yihan suspicious, and sent someone to investigate him.
"Hu Heng, you have been by General Ben's side for so many years, and General Ben has always trusted you, but I didn't expect that this time the corruption of grain and grass has passed away, and it has something to do with you! You're so confused! Chu Xiping looked at the paste, and his tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.
In any case, this deputy general can be regarded as his cronies, and he has been by his side for so many years, but he didn't expect to be involved in the corruption of grain and grass now.
"Uncle, you're wrong." Yun Qingyan, who was standing quietly on the side, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with General Hu, the corruption of grain and grass was done by General Hu from beginning to end, as for General Li, maybe he is just an insider who knows the truth earlier than us, a scapegoat." ”
"What?" Chu Xiping was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yun Qingyan looked at Li Zhi in the cell, "So far, this matter seems to be General Li, he himself is guarding and stealing, secretly deducting and embezzling grain and grass, afraid that the matter will be exposed, in order to delay the progress of the investigation, so he kidnapped me, but think about it carefully, everything he did actually exacerbated his exposure." ”
"Qingyan, you mean he did it on purpose?" Chu Xiping was a little surprised.
"That's right, I couldn't figure out why he did that before, but then General Li confessed too happily, as if he had expected this day a long time ago, and as for kidnapping me, it was just to speed up the arrival of this day." Yun Qingyan paused for a moment, "Now it seems that this matter probably has only one purpose from beginning to end, and that is to let General Li bear all the charges alone." Is Princess Ben right? ”
Yun Qingyan's gaze moved to Hu Heng's face.
After Hu Heng was silent for a moment, he suddenly laughed, "The eldest princess is indeed very smart, much smarter than the last general imagined. The kidnapping of you is indeed what I secretly instructed Li Zhi, originally I thought that the eldest princess would be kidnapped, and I would be annoyed and angry, and when the time comes, as long as the reason admits the matter of grain and grass, it will definitely be a dead end, but I didn't expect you to be much calmer than I imagined. ”
"Since General Hu has already admitted it, let's talk carefully about what is going on in this matter. And Princess Ben is also very curious, if General Li really has nothing to do with this matter, how did you manage to make him willing to be your scapegoat? ”
So far, that's all she hasn't thought through.
Hu Heng looked at Li Zhi, hooked the corners of his mouth, and laughed.
"It's all at this juncture, and you can tell all the truth."
After secretly planning for so long, I originally thought that I had a chance to win, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was still a bamboo basket for nothing, which was a joke.
In the cell, Li Zhi's face was very strange, on the one hand, he felt relieved and relieved because the truth was revealed, but at the same time, he was full of worry and fear between his eyebrows.
"Hu Heng, they found out about this matter, and I have been your scapegoat honestly according to our agreement. Anyway, I hope you can spare my son's life for the sake of us knowing each other for so many years. Li Zhi looked at Hu Heng's gaze with a hint of pleading.
Their family has been passed down for generations, and he has only one son under his knees, if it weren't for the preservation of his son, how could he come to be this scapegoat.
"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, we have indeed known each other for so many years, but after so many years, you are still the same as before, so easy to deceive." Hu Heng sighed and shook his head slowly, "Let me tell you the truth, your son is not in my hands at all now." ”
Li Zhi's face froze instantly, "What do you mean by this?" Didn't you kidnap him? ”
"It's not." Hu Heng shook his head, "After the grain and grass matter was revealed, I begged you to take care of our relationship for many years and not to talk about this matter, but you refused to agree." I did think about kidnapping your family and threatening you, but before I could do anything, your son was missing. Later, you came to me and asked me if I had kidnapped your son, so I borrowed the donkey from the slope and deliberately confessed. ”
"Hu Heng, you dare to lie to me!" Li Zhi stood up suddenly.
"It's so stupid to blame only yourself, and it's still so easy to trust others after so many years."
"And where is my son now?" Li Zhi was anxious.
Hu Heng's face was full of a cold smile, "How did I know that the relationship between your father and son was not good, maybe he was just tired of your father, so he left the border pass." ”
