After the shopkeeper and his companion of the tea house were arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department, they were detained and interrogated separately.

Those guys were still thinking of being tough, but the Shadows didn't give them this chance at all, and as soon as they came in, they were cleaned up fiercely, allowing them to experience the taste of walking at the door of the ghost gate.

With this dismount, as soon as the tea house guy saw the black-clothed man with his face covered, he unconsciously began to tremble, let him do what he wanted, let him say what he said, and he was honest.

As for the shopkeeper of the tea house, according to the confessions of Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao, this is Wan Yanxi or the absolute supporter of Prince Takiqing, and he may become Wan Yanxi's help in the future, so he can't be so rude as he treats those guys, it would be too inhospitable.

Ying Thirteen was in charge of interrogating the shopkeeper, neither dismounted nor used any punishment, and the atmosphere of the entire interrogation process was good.

"This is what Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao want to tell you, take a look!"

The letter handed by Ying 13 to the shopkeeper was dictated by Mrs. Gao and written by Mrs. Cai herself, and was handed over to the shopkeeper after being inspected by Shen Cha and Bai Meng. The main content of the letter is to tell the shopkeeper that they have decided to cooperate with Daxia and Shen Jiajun to help the little prince return to China to quell the rebellion and avenge the former king, the eldest prince, and the prince.

The shopkeeper read the letter five or six times before believing that there was no problem with his eyes, and their little prince was still alive and ready to kill Yan Ping. For the shopkeeper who is already living in despair and thinks that revenge is hopeless, it is simply a pie falling from the sky, an absolute surprise.

After reading the letter, he fell to his knees and bowed to Shadow Thirteen.

"Your Majesty Great Xia, Shen Guogong, and General Shen's heavenly kindness to my little prince will always be remembered in my heart. In the future, if there is a need to go to the next place, you must go to the soup and die! ”

It was also because of this that Shen Cha asked Ying Thirteen to explain the situation to the shopkeeper on the night of the first day, and the next day when Master Li brought his colleagues to kneel in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he asked him to cooperate.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was an errand to let him do it, he didn't bumble with a beating, and he promised to let Ying Thirteen not worry, it was all wrapped up in him, and he definitely made the errand a beautiful one.

Qi Yong had already gotten the news and confirmed the process with Ying Thirteen, after he finished asking Jin Guo's meticulous work to tell everyone the truth, the people in the prison were already ready, and as soon as the door opened, two jailers walked out with the shopkeeper wearing heavy shackles.

"Everyone, this person should be familiar to everyone, right?" Qi Yong pointed to the shopkeeper standing beside him, "The shopkeeper of Cen Ji Tea House, there should be many of you who have passed by the door of this tea house, and even walked in to drink tea and buy tea, right?" ”

Some of the onlookers are really like Qi Yong said, they are very familiar with the shopkeeper of Cen Ji Tea House, and now they can't believe it when they hear Qi Yong say that this shopkeeper is from Jinguo or a spy from Jinguo.

"My lord, is there a mistake?"

"That's right, the shopkeeper is very good and enthusiastic. Every year during the hottest period, he opened a tea shed to deliver tea to passers-by. Lord Qi, how could such a good person do something hurtful? ”

"Being good and having a good heart has nothing to do with where the shopkeeper is and for whom he is doing things. What's going on, please tell the shopkeeper himself. ”

Qi Yong glanced at the shopkeeper and nodded slightly. They've done a few rehearsals before, so they shouldn't go wrong.

"Ahem!" The shopkeeper cleared his throat, "I want to solemnly apologize to the old customers who are here today, because I deceived you, I am indeed from Jinguo, and I am indeed here to inquire about the news, and I have betrayed everyone's trust in me, I ...... I'm very sorry. But each is his master, I was born and grew up in the country of Jin, and it is natural to do things for the country of Jin, and I have a clear conscience! ”

"A good one with a clear conscience, the shopkeeper's openness, the official admires." Qi Yong clapped his hands symbolically and glanced at the people who were kneeling below, "Please come out today, in addition to proving your identity, please also be a witness to prove that Lord Cai and Master Gao have nothing to do with you, the tea house, and the Jin Kingdom." In this case, it is not in vain that these adults kneel here so early and avenge the grievances of those two adults. ”

"Nothing to do with it?" The shopkeeper sneered, "Lord Qi's words are a bit insincere, don't you all know very well, Cai and Gao are my eyes and do things for me?" Why, let them confess to me, and then we can wash the sludge off their bodies? ”

"Do things for you!" When Master Li heard this, he glared at the shopkeeper viciously, "You are full of nonsense! ”

"My lord, what good will it do me if I am full of nonsense?" He looked at Qi Yong, "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple have already mastered conclusive evidence, and Cai and Gao have been doing things for me and delivering news for me in recent years." The two of them are in the Imperial History Tower, and they know more things and have more information than ordinary people, so for me, they are very good targets. ”

"How did you win them over?"

"It took a lot of work." The shopkeeper smiled at Qi Yong, "There are some things that can't be said in front of so many people, I can only say that it did take a lot of effort, and the rewards they gave me were also good." Through them, we know which people have a good relationship, which people have a more antagonistic relationship, and which people are dissatisfied with the status quo. These can play a very important role in the future plan for Great Xia. As he spoke, he shifted his gaze from Qi Yong to Master Li, "So, don't be too naïve, the two of them are really not as innocent as you say." ”

After saying this, the shopkeeper closed his mouth and said no more.

Before they did this, they also greeted Cai and Gao in advance, and the two put forward a request, as long as their true identities were not exposed, it didn't matter how many crimes they carried. What's more, just like the shopkeeper said, in fact, they are not innocent, if they are really counted, the identity of an accomplice cannot escape, and they must be punished.

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, several people who were kneeling with Master Li were silent for a while, and then they all stood up in unison, took a deep look at Qi Yong, and left without looking back.

In their opinion, things have come to this point, and there is nothing more to say. Instead of stubbornly kneeling here and firmly believing that those two are innocent, it is better to kneel at the gate of the palace, ask for His Majesty's forgiveness, and kneel in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in court clothes and with a wat board, which is no less than the crime of rebellion. If they admit their mistakes in time and receive the punishment in time, they may still have a glimmer of life.

And Master Li was completely stunned by this fact, his mind was blank, he couldn't hear the sounds around him at all, and he couldn't feel what the people around him were doing, his only thought now was that he had been deceived, and he was stabbed in the back by his closest friends and relatives. After today, he will become the laughing stock of the entire Great Xia court.

Master Li remembered in a trance what he said when he was a child, when his family invited a Taoist priest to tell his fortune.

"The life of the little boy is very bumpy, he will encounter all kinds of betrayals, he will become the target of public criticism, and he will eventually end up depressed."

He had never believed the words of this Taoist priest, and he had never taken this sentence to heart, but he didn't know why, but today he suddenly remembered it, and this voice was very clear, as if it was said in his ear.

He doesn't want to be a laughing stock, he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, he doesn't want to end up depressed, he wants to be tough now, let the world witness his innocence.

Thinking of this, he slowly raised the wat board in his hand and slammed it towards his head.
