Chapter 80: Know, Stay Alive

"Master Du, you should know that you are not qualified to speak of conditions now." Huo Sijin didn't agree immediately. Du Yancai is actually a greedy person who has to make inches, and she can't believe it.

Du Yancai's face stiffened slightly, he didn't expect Huo Sijin to reject him directly.

"Lord Huo, I'm not talking to you about conditions, I just want to know the truth, it's just a truth, Lord Huo won't even satisfy this wish, right?" Master Du laughed and said, "In the past, I didn't understand the rules and offended Lord Huo, so please don't remember the villain, and forgive me." ”

God knows if he doesn't want to say these things against his will, Huo Sijin's impeachment of him, he has always remembered it. It's just that he has no other way at the moment, the people here are headed by Huo Sijin, if Huo Sijin doesn't nod, he will never want to know what he wants to know.

Huo Sijin raised his eyebrows slightly, this Lord Du is really able to bend and stretch, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for her, so quickly he softened.

Let's just listen to what Master Du wants to know first.

Although Huo Sijin didn't agree, but he didn't say anything to refuse, Lord Du only thought that she agreed, for fear that she would change her mind, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Lord Huo, tell me honestly, who is Gongzi Xie?" Is he from the Zheng Guo Mansion? ”

Master Du always had doubts in his heart, and he always felt that this Xie Tianxing was not an ordinary person.

The corners of Huo Sijin's eyes rose slightly, "Master Du, why do you want to ask this?" ”

"Master Huo, you haven't answered my question yet, but you asked me first, it seems a little inappropriate, right?" Master Du gritted his teeth, didn't he just want to know an answer, why was it so difficult.

"Tianxing, Lord Du wants to know who you are? What do you think? Huo Sijin didn't bother with Master Du, and turned his head to look at Chu Zheng.

When he arrived in the capital, Du Yancai would still know who Chu Zheng was, and it didn't make much difference if he knew it early or later, and the keyword was hindered by whether Chu Zheng was willing or not.

When Master Du asked Huo Sijin just now, he deliberately lowered his voice, just because he didn't want Xie Tianxing to know, he really couldn't figure out who Xie Tianxing was now, so he didn't ask out loud. This is good, Huo Sijin shouted directly, and everyone knew.

"Ahem...... Master Du coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, and then said to Chu Zheng, "Master Xie, I know that you are not an ordinary person, I am just curious about who you are?" ”

Chu Zheng's indifferent gaze passed over Lord Du, and Lord Du only felt that the whole person was seen through by him, and suddenly his whole body was cold, as if he was falling into an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but tremble his teeth.

Huo Sijin received Chu Zheng's eyes, and then said, "Lord Du, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is honored, you don't know it?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chu Zheng!

Lord Du was shocked, his face changed greatly, and he slapped his head suddenly, "I'm so stupid!" ”

He was so stupid that he guessed that Xie Tianxing was a cousin of the prince's mother's family, but he never thought that he would be the deity of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Lord Du hurriedly knelt down towards Chu Zheng with his knees, although the prisoner cart containing him was narrow, his knees could be put down.

"The criminal minister Du Yan only knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, and the criminal minister has eyes that do not know the pearls, and asks His Highness for forgiveness."

At this moment, he regretted it in his heart, if he had known that Xie Tianxing was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chu Zheng, why would he do something stupid and let his daughter seduce the prince, he simply didn't know what to do.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have a princess, nor does he have any concubines, everyone knows that he does not like women, and some people have even privately discussed whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good at Longyang.

If he had known that Xie Tianxing was the pseudonym of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chu Zheng, he would never have let his daughter Du Ziyu climb into his bed.

The original intention was to follow his daughter and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry, and in the future, he would have the opportunity to present the account books to His Royal Highness the Prince, who would have thought that he would be stupid, and he didn't know that Xie Tianxing was Chu Zheng.

If he had known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in front of him, he would have presented the account book early to atone for his sins.

Lord Du regretted it, but in addition to regretting it, his heart suddenly ignited the light of hope, and he had not yet arrived in the capital, and he might still have a chance to redeem his merits.

He can't miss any opportunity anymore, otherwise all that awaits him is death, Lord Du hurriedly told Chu Zheng the truth about his greed for ink, "Your Highness, the criminal knows that he is extremely evil, and as the governor of Huzhou, he embezzled disaster relief money, but the criminal minister is also helpless. The five princes threatened the wives and children of the criminal minister, and if the criminal minister did not help him cover up the embezzlement of disaster relief money, he would take the lives of the wife and children of the criminal minister's family. The fifth prince is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, and the criminal minister has no choice but to promise him. Then, who would have thought that the fifth prince gave a thousand taels of silver to the guilty minister, saying that it was a thank you gift, and forced the criminal minister to accept it. If the sinner doesn't take it, he has to accept it, and he can't refuse at all. After that, the five princes took the 1,000 taels of silver collected by the criminal ministers as a handle, and coerced the criminal ministers to cover up for him every year. ”

Lord Du burst into tears, "Your Highness, the criminal minister is from a poor family, and he has no power to fight against the five princes, so he can only obey." The criminal minister really didn't want to be greedy for ink, it was the five princes who were pressing step by step, and asked His Royal Highness to learn clearly. ”

He thought that what he said was the truth, and it was true that he started with the 1,000 taels of silver when he embezzled disaster relief food at the beginning, but as for later, there was already a first time, and there would be a second time, and gradually he began to hurriedly take advantage of the disaster relief money, and from then on he was out of control.

"Your Royal Highness, the guilty minister has an account book in his hand, which records the amount of ink that the five princes have embezzled over the years, as long as he has this account book, His Royal Highness can convict the five princes, and the guilty minister is willing to give the account book with both hands."

What Lord Du wanted to say more was that he presented the account book with both hands, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare his life, for the sake of his merits.

But looking at Chu Zheng's cold eyes, Master Du didn't dare to say what was going on. At the moment, he is not qualified to bargain with Chu Zheng, so he can only silently hope in his heart that Chu Zheng can stick to the account books he presents and treat him lightly.

Huo Sijin, who was standing aside, shook his head silently in his heart, Lord Du's wish was destined to be frustrated, he didn't know that Chu Zheng was a jealous and hateful person, Lord Du had already committed Chu Zheng's taboo by being greedy for ink, how could he bypass him? Even if Lord Du presented the account book early in the morning, it was impossible for Chu Zheng to spare him.

"Today's killer, according to the criminal ministers, is also a person sent by the five princes." Lord Du looked at the corpses all over the ground, and added, "The fifth prince is afraid that the criminal minister will confess him, and the criminal minister will tell you what the five princes have done over the years today." ”

The implication is that he is willing to tell Chu Zheng everything he knows, and help Chu Zheng successfully remove the fifth prince Chu Heng.

"Don't worry, when the three divisions are tried, there will be a chance for you to speak." Chu Zheng just spit out such a sentence lightly, but instructed everyone, "Let's go." ”

Hearing this, Lord Du's face turned pale, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to hear it at all.

"Your Highness......" Lord Du hurriedly stood up and wanted to step forward to chase Chu Zheng, but he was trapped in the prisoner car and couldn't get out at all.

Chu Zheng had already landed on the horse neatly, tightened the reins and was about to move forward, Lord Du hurriedly went to Huo Sijin who was standing next to the prisoner car, "Lord Huo, can you say a few kind words for me in His Royal Highness the Prince, I will be grateful in the future." ”

This is the most sincere sentence that Master Du said, as long as Huo Sijin is willing to say a few kind words for him, he will be grateful in his heart.

Huo Sijin shook his head, "Master Du, it's time for you, don't think about it anymore, with this energy, you might as well think about how to save your life." ”

Master Du was anxious, "Aren't I just trying to find a way to save my life!" ”

He begged His Royal Highness the Prince, not so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could spare his life for the sake of him identifying the five princes.

It is true that he is greedy for ink, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can intercede for him, then his life can be saved.

The corners of Huo Sijin's mouth twitched, "Master Du, Huo Mou is very responsible to tell you that this way will not work." What you should do now is to protect yourself, and by the way, think about how you should talk when the three divisions are tried. Now I want you to die, in addition to the law of Nanchu, there are also the five princes. ”

The law of Southern Chu deals with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, some are light and some are severe, the light is demoted, and the heavy is beheaded, and how to sentence, the three divisions will be tried, find out the truth, and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor, and finally His Majesty will decide how to deal with it.

In fact, there is still room for turning around at the level of the law, but the fifth prince doesn't want him to live.

So, what to do, he should have an idea in his heart......
