Chapter 146: Threat!
Li Jia was stunned for a moment, stared blankly at Manwen with a beautiful face, blinked incomprehensibly and said, "Who are you?" Hurry up and apologize! Why bother me flying a kite? β
Manwen really wants to slap this rude yellow-haired boy to death!
However, for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion and for the throne of the queen in the future, Manwen suppressed the churning emotions in his heart, tried to maintain a rational and calm smile on his face, his voice was soft, and he patiently explained: "Little prince, I am the little princess canonized by the emperor and the queen mother, you are still young, you may not understand, I want to marry you, become your wife, and fight hand in hand with you, the closest person!" If you treat me well, I will treat you well. β
Li Jia didn't seem to understand when he heard it, tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, and asked, "Is it like the relationship between my father and my mother?" β
Manwen nodded, smiling like a flower: "Yes, the little prince is so smart, I am your princess, if you want to protect me well, I will also protect you well." β
"What are you teaching such a young child!?"
Before Li Jia could open his mouth to ask clearly, there was a cold voice from Jing Guiren behind him.
I saw Jing Guiren's face solemn, his expression was serious, and he glared at Manwen with bad intentions, and Yurong who followed behind him was even more vigilant, as if Manwen had done something sorry for her.
Man Wen straightened up, glanced at Yu Rong disdainfully, looked at Jing Guiren indifferently, without the slightest fear, her beautiful face was full of unruliness and contempt, and she pursed her red lips: "What's wrong?" Lady Jing, oh no, I should call you Mother. Although we are of the same age, you are the emperor's quiet nobleman, I am the little princess, and the concubine wants to call you mother, which is really a proper courtesy. The father and the prime minister told him to treat the little prince sincerely, but I don't know why my mother is unwilling? Speak up and listen. β
Jing Guiren's sneering words that originally came to his lips swallowed the words 'Prime Minister' when he heard the words.
She used to be attached to Matsuzawa, and the two of them often even had skin to skin.
However, Jing Guiren knows that Matsuzawa is also a loyal dog raised by the prime minister.
Now that Matsuzawa is dead, it is even more difficult for her to climb to the prime minister, and when she chose Manwen as the little princess, she really took a fancy to her family background, but she was the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lund, and the power of her mother's family should not be underestimated.
Yu Rong looked at Jing Guiren without saying a word, and took the initiative to contradict him: "Sister Manwen, the little prince is still young, you can't teach him some love between men and women, we are all young, it's not too late to wait a few years!" β
Man Wen sneered, raised his eyelids, his gaze was as cold as a cold wind, raised his eyebrows, and refuted: "Yurong, your father has just died, and Matsuzawa's mansion is already lonely, even if you are about to face extinction one day, what qualifications do you have to teach me?" You can afford to wait, the little prince can't afford to wait, and the eldest prince and the second prince can't afford to wait!
I am the little princess, unlike you a concubine, I just want to be at ease for a few years, I want to plan for the future of the little prince, the man in his teens is not small, he can marry a wife, he should open up the branches for the royal family as soon as possible, and make the emperor happy, don't you understand such a simple truth?
Yes, of course you don't understand, how can a woman like you from a small family understand the deception of the deep palace? It's a blessing that you saved your life! Just ask you to talk to me in the future and pay attention to proportion, I am a concubine, you are a concubine, I am the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are the daughter of a criminal minister, hehe, you have to keep to yourself, lest I cure your sins and make my mother worry. β
Jing Guiren's hands gently pinched the corners of his clothes, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, but when he thought of the status of the prime minister, he had to bow his head and soften, and his tone was also biased in favor of Manwen: "Yurong, you don't say a word, I know that you are for Jia'er's good, but I have thought about it, Manwen's words are more reasonable." β
After that, Jing Guiren bent down and took Li Jia's meaty little hand, took Manwen's hand again, put Li Jia's little hand in Manwen's palm, and instructed: "Jia'er, in the future, Miss Manwen will be your princess, you have to treat her sincerely, understand?" β
Li Jia nodded mechanically, and looked at Manwen again, his eyes were obviously full of kindness and softness.
β¦β¦
Prince Wen's Mansion.
There is a deep and secluded cave on the south side of the mansion, which is the forbidden place of the palace, and no one is allowed to enter it without Li Junqi's order.
The forbidden place is guarded by four government soldiers in turn, and no one knows what the depths of the cave are.
Three watches in the middle of the night.
Li Junqi and Ziyu led two men in black to the entrance of the cave.
As soon as the soldiers saw that it was Li Junqi, they immediately respectfully said, "Your Highness! β
Li Junqi bowed slightly, and the government soldiers got out of the way, allowing the four of them to enter.
Armed with torches, two men in black dived into the depths of the cavern and came to a large and large room, dark and damp, littered with discarded weapons and tools for interrogating prisoners.
In the corner, an unkempt man sits decadently, his hands and feet bound in chains, unable to break free.
Li Junqi glanced at the man in black, one man in black filled a basin of water from the muddy lake, and the other man in black grabbed the originally weak man, and poured a basin of cold water on top of his head, the man shivered, and woke up with a thrill.
Li Junqi's cold eyes were like icicles in the cold winter moon, his voice was low and magnetic, and his body exuded a terrifying power, he said coldly: "You have followed the prime minister for many years, and if you can become his meticulous work, you must know a lot of secrets about the prime minister, and if you spit it out, you will die happily and keep silent, this king has a way to deal with you." β
The man opened his eyes as red as blood, glared at Li Junqi angrily, spat at him, and laughed frantically: "Prince Wen! I didn't expect that! You're just like the Regent! It's all wolf ambitions! I've always underestimated you, and I thought you were a weak scholar, a sick man with no power to restrain chickens! It turns out that you, like your father, are unfed tigers! β
Li Junqi impatiently fiddled with the ivory folding fan in his hand, raised his eyes, and a cold light seemed to be able to see through people at once, and he hooked the corners of his lips disdainfully: "The regent is a hero of the world, since I am his son, naturally I will not be a wreck." Do you think Tang Zhentian let you go and sit back and relax?
Lord Captain Haozhe! You betrayed the Tang family, betrayed the general's mansion, and almost killed the Tang family, Tang Zhentian removed you from your position, and the emperor impeached you, demoted you to a concubine, and got rid of your black gauze hat, do you think you can make up for all your mistakes?
You are too naΓ―ve, if the person who captured you is Tang Zhentian, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the prime minister, and then the general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion will have to fight again, it is better for this king to be this bad guy, this king is a relative of the emperor, naturally different from the courtiers, and he has to look forward and backward. If you know each other, spit out everything you know, otherwise, the king's sword has no eyes, and I really don't know which innocent people will be hurt. β
With these words, Haozhe's face turned blue with anger, he gritted his teeth, his whole face was hideous, and he pounced towards Li Junqi with his teeth and claws, but the chain was too strong, Haozhe couldn't break free at all, and he could only hear the sound of the rattling iron cable.
Li Junqi narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his voice jingled like a copper bell: "Lord Haozhe, don't waste your efforts, I hope you can think about it for the past few days, and this king doesn't want to torture you, if you insist on persecuting this king, I'm afraid that the things in this room are any one, and they are enough for you, I don't need to say more, you face these terrible tools day and night, you should know better than me how powerful they are." β
Haozhe gritted his teeth, twisted his head to the side, leaned against the cold wall, closed his eyes, and sneered: "Prince Wen, I don't know anything, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" I'm the prime minister's person, that's right, I'm a fine work by the general's side, so I'm ready to die at any time. β
"What a loyal and righteous courage!" Ziyu applauded again and again, and then ordered the man in black, "You guys go down, bring people here, and see how capable our Captain Du can be." β
Haozhe had an extremely ominous premonition, could it be that Li Junqi had grabbed his handle!?
In a moment, I saw a group of people dressed in black who were also secretive, pressing more than a dozen people of all ages, men and women, into the closed room.
The men in black removed the rag pockets that were over their heads, and they looked at each other with horror and fear in their eyes.
Haozhe took a look at it by the dim firelight, and it turned out to be the family of the Governor's Mansion!
An old man panicked: "Lord Haozhe! My lord, how are you in such a place? You have disappeared in the past few days, but the family has been in a hurry, although you have no official position, but we have some savings, and we can barely survive! β
A woman's tears fell down: "Husband, what mistake did you make?" What kind of powerful character have you offended? Last night, this group of black-clothed people suddenly broke into the house and took away all the old and young in the family, the nurse is a handful of years, and she has to worry about you, the child is still so young, he is so scared that he doesn't even dare to speak......"
Haozhe was furious, and he roared almost hysterically: "Prince Wen! What do you have to do to rush at me! Don't do anything to my family! I tell you, if you dare to hurt them in the slightest, I won't let you go! I'm just going to kill you! Prince Wen! You let them go! How dare you do it! β
Li Junqi had long expected this to be the result, he walked in front of the woman, then to the old man, and then to the three young children, he bent down and gently patted their pale little faces.
Straightening up, Li Junqi did not speak, but walked to a huge wooden table, on which were placed axes, daggers, hammers, and splints, etc.
Li Junqi picked up the splint, fiddled with it casually, and asked clearly: "Ziyu, does this thing have an effect on women and children?" I see that the gap is a bit big, I wonder if it will hurt? It's better to replace it with a hammer, the axe is too hard, the dagger is too sharp, I'm afraid it will die all at once, the hammer can come little by little, oh yes! There's also a silver needle, I've heard that this effect is good, it's painful, and it's not fatal, what is this? β
Li Junqi was quite interested in what these regent had interrogated the prisoners in the first place.
Ziyu glanced at the iron rod in his hand and explained: "Your Highness, this is for branding, and after it is burned red, it can carve a mark on the prisoner's body, which is also not fatal, but it is very painful. β
"Li Junqi! Don't you dare! How dare you do it to my family!? I'm going to fight with you! I'll kill you!? Haozhe almost fell into a madness, he pulled the chains desperately, and threw himself forward like crazy, the children were so frightened that they cried, and several women and old people were even more dumbfounded.
Li Junqi walked in front of Haozhe step by step, the cruelty in his eyes made people shudder, and he asked clearly word by word: "You choose, choose the prime minister?" Or your family? Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, if you would rather die as a dog of the prime minister, then, your wife and children, your nurses and children, will accompany you to the funeral, accompany you to be loyal to the prime minister. β
"You brute! How dare you coerce and take advantage of it! I'm going to kill you! Haozhe screamed heartbreakingly.
Li Junqi shook his head impatiently, looked disgusted, took a splint directly, walked to the nurse, waved his hand at the man in black, and coldly ordered: "Put a splint on her, forget it, everyone on the splint and come together." β
Immediately afterwards, he turned to Haozhe and said: "If you don't say the splint, just change the silver needle, if you don't say the silver needle, change the brand, if you don't say it, just change the dagger, in short, we have a lot of things, and we are full of tricks to play, and we are busy these days." β
"I'm going to kill you!!" Although Haozhe screamed out his throat, when he saw that the nurse and several women's splints were on his hands, the whole person was like a deflated eggplant in an instant, wilting in the storm.
"Wait...... I say...... I say...... Let them go, spare my family...... I'll say anything......" Haozhe relented, he really couldn't stand this scene.
Li Junqi was very satisfied, his deep eyes were mixed with a triumphant smile, and he instructed the man in black: "You take off your things and take everyone out, or put them under house arrest in the old place, send people to guard them strictly, and no one can escape." β
"Yes." The man in black put his pocket over the group's heads and was about to walk out.
Li Junqi added: "Prepare some water and food for them, after all, Lord Haozhe is willing to cooperate and tell the truth, and this king will not treat his family badly." β
"Yes." The man in black retreated, leaving only Ziyu and Li Junqi in the dark and damp room.
Li Junqi played with the ivory folding fan in his hand, pursed his lips and asked lightly: "What is the purpose of the prime minister?" Is it just to get rid of the Tang family? Assist the little prince to ascend the throne? Destroyed the General's Mansion? Become the next regent? Sitting on the world? β
Hao Zhe sat on the ground weakly, as if the shouting and resistance just now had used up all his strength, and said weakly: "Since you know everything, why do you need to ask me? β
Li Junqi's deep eyes were dark and sharp, like an eagle facing its prey, and he asked: "Okay, then let me ask another question, since he has planned so many things, he will definitely be prepared, weapons?" Silver? Money? β
