The next day, in the prison, Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan went to the place where Li Zhi was being held.

"Master, he has already confessed and admitted that he was responsible for the corruption of grain and grass." Feng Qing saw Feng Yihan coming, and hurriedly handed over his hand to report.

"So fast?" Yun Qingyan was a little surprised.

Feng Qing nodded and spoke: "After all, the evidence of the kidnapping of the eldest princess is conclusive, and now he has reached the end of his rope, so he will deny it and be punished." It's better to admit it directly. ”

Yun Qingyan passed through the cell door and looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting in the prison at the moment, with a decadent expression.

"General Li, have you really admitted that you were responsible for the corruption of grain and grass?"

"All kinds of plots are ruined in one fell swoop, since they have all lost, the last general naturally has nothing to continue to hide." Li Zhi glanced at Yun Qingyan, and then at Feng Yihan, "Master Feng, didn't you come this time to investigate the corruption of grain and grass, now that the last general has admitted it, you can also write a report to the imperial court." ”

"There's no hurry." Feng Yihan looked at Li Zhi, "I still want to know some details." ”

"What does Mrs. Feng want to ask, just ask." Li Zhi tidied up his robe, and the whole person sat upright.

"How much grain and grass in the barracks have you embezzled?"

"If it is converted into silver taels, it will be about 50,000 taels of silver."

"There is no discrepancy in the number recorded in the ledger, so you forged the ledger."

"That's right." Li Zhi nodded, "Embezzling the grain and grass in the barracks is a big crime after all, I was prepared as early as the beginning, and I tried to find a way to level the accounts, but the grain and grass that really couldn't be leveled created the illusion of fire." The grain and grass seemed to have been burned by accident, but in fact they were all moved out of the barracks. ”

"And what about the silver taels you got from greedy for grain and grass?"

"It's all spent, and there's not a penny left."

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, I don't know where General Li spent it?"

"Naturally, it's used to enjoy it on weekdays." Li Zhi paused for a moment, "Although in order to hide people's eyes, it seems that my food and clothing are very simple in quality, but in private I spend money really lavishly, after all, if the embezzled silver taels are not spent in time, if something really happens one day, it will become a knife on my head." ”

"General Li can see it clearly." Feng Yihan hooked the corners of his mouth, "Last question, is there anyone who is General Li's accomplice?" ”

"Nope." Li Zhi shook his head, "The embezzlement of grain and grass is originally my own behavior, if there are too many people who know, it will bring unnecessary trouble, and I am not stupid enough to do this with great fanfare." ”

"So you didn't even tell your confidant Wang Yuan?" Yun Qingyan asked.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Wang Yuan is not my cronies, he is not just a junior general in the military camp."

"General Li doesn't have to hide it, you should know that this matter can't be hidden." Yun Qingyan paused, "What's more, Wang Yuan has already confessed." ”

Yun Qingyan glanced at Feng Qing, who called out the door, and someone immediately escorted Wang Yuan in.

"General."

Looking at Wang Yuan, who was escorted in, Li Zhi frowned: "Although he is a junior general under my command, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, whether it is embezzlement of grain and grass, or kidnapping of the eldest princess, he doesn't know at all." ”

"General, you don't have to say it anymore, your subordinates have already admitted it." Wang Yuan gritted his teeth, "Since everything has been discovered, my subordinates are willing to face it with you, General." ”

Anyway, he had already imagined this situation from the beginning.

"Confused!" Li Zhi took a deep breath, "Have you forgotten what General Ben told you, no matter what, saving your life is the most important thing, it is better to die alone than two!" ”

"Seeing that the general is hiding it for me, it is better to give me a knife happily, which can be regarded as repaying the general's kindness." What's more, this matter can't be hidden at all.

"Li Zhi, you have to think clearly about what you say, it may not only affect your safety alone, but also the entire Li family, your loyal subordinate." Yun Qingyan glanced at Wang Yuan, "So you can still be sure that everything you just said is the truth?" ”

There was a hint of hesitation in Li Zhi's eyes, but it was only for a moment.

"Eldest princess, Mrs. Feng, the general has already admitted the matter of embezzling grain and grass, so naturally he will not change his words. This matter is indeed the work of the last general, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. As for Wang Yuan, he was only confused for a while because he wanted to repay the last general, and because he was a subordinate of the last general, he hoped that the eldest princess could forgive him this time and spare his life. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi stood up, and then knelt down in front of Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan.

"General, you don't have to be like this, the last general is really not afraid of death." Wang Yuan immediately spoke.

"Shut up!" Li Zhi looked at Wang Yuan, "You don't know about the embezzlement of grain and grass, and the kidnapping of the eldest princess is also my intention, even if you are alone, there is no need to joke with your life." ”

Yun Qingyan looked at Li Zhi like this, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do this.

In the end, Yun Qingyan still agreed to leave Wang Yuan alive.

After leaving the prison, Yun Qingyan still felt puzzled in his heart, and asked Feng Yihan:

"Don't you think the whole thing is a little weird?"

From the night she was rescued, she felt that things were getting more and more strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

Feng Yihan's eyes were slightly cold, and he was silent for a moment before speaking: "Everything is too logical. ”

"Master, is there anything wrong with it?" Feng Qing asked suspiciously.

First embezzled grain and grass, and then was afraid of being investigated by the master, kidnapped the eldest princess and wanted to threaten the master, after being discovered, it was difficult to hide the incident in the east window, so he simply confessed, all of this is reasonable, there should be nothing strange about it.

"Some things are a little unusual, once they are too natural." Feng Yihan paused, "It seems that I expected it a long time ago, and today I just walked towards this ending step by step." ”

"Yes, that's what it feels like." Yun Qingyan nodded, "And looking at Li Zhi's appearance, he is really too calm, and it seems that he was ready for everything to be discovered from the beginning." ”

After thinking about it, Yun Qingyan continued to speak: "And that night, according to him, because he was worried that you would suspect him, and that the courtyard was no longer safe, he wanted to transfer me to another place. However, if you do perceive suspicion, the best thing to do is to do as little as you do, the easier it is to be exposed. ”
