Chapter 379: The Spear of the Other

"The trial is still ongoing, and as for how much confession can be made, it depends on how much we can ask on our side."

Zhao Jingxuan saw that Prince Rui had returned to normal, and began to inquire about the specific circumstances of the case, and he had no intention of hiding it.

"This time, the prince went to Meizhou City for disaster relief, it should have touched the interests of some people, for fear that the matter would be exposed, so he chose to strike first."

Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the crown prince did something behind his back, Zhao Jingxuan believes that Yang Ming will not talk nonsense in this kind of matter.

The crown prince had long trained his men in order to eliminate the threat of his ascension to the throne.

It's just that he never thought that the king of a country needs not only to exclude dissidents, but more importantly, to make his courtiers submit willingly.

Zhao Jingxuan didn't have much feeling for the crown prince all the time, neither good nor bad, in his opinion, his duty was just to follow the emperor's will.

But this incident shook his mind.

Is a person who does everything to get to the top really fit to be in that position?

So far, Zhao Jingxuan has seen too much of the dark side of the Zhen Yu Alliance, but the crown prince even chose to cooperate with them in order to ascend the throne.

Zhao Jingxuan could clearly feel the threat of the Zhen Yu League to the stability of the Qing Dynasty, and the leader of the Zhen Yu League had only one purpose, which was to use the Qing Dynasty to fulfill his ridiculous wish of immortality and even ascension to immortality.

He didn't care at all about what the people of the Qing Dynasty would do in the future, he didn't care about it, everything was just a stepping stone for him to achieve his goal.

As the prince, he may not know the inside story of the Zhenyu Alliance, but he is willing to collude with it for his own selfish desires.

With such a person, Zhao Jingxuan couldn't recognize him as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

In contrast, although Prince Rui is not a concubine, he is stronger than the prince in terms of ability and personality.

Zhao Jingxuan thought of this, but immediately stopped.

He knew very well that it was not up to him to decide who would die in the end.

"What is the next step for the prince?"

"Since someone can't tolerate me, I won't be polite!"

Prince Rui knows very well that this kind of thing is either you die or I die, if he is soft-hearted, only he will be defeated in the end.

It's just that he doesn't understand Zhao Jingxuan's purpose at this time.

"What does Lord Zhao think about this matter?"

In fact, Prince Rui could feel that since Zhao Jingxuan was willing to send troops to rescue and desperately save his life, he would stand with him no matter what.

After all, his actions have touched the interests of the people behind the scenes, and no matter what, he will be recognized as someone on his side.

But he couldn't be sure of Zhao Jingxuan's attitude, he always felt that Zhao Jingxuan was very special, obviously holding so many secrets of the royal family, but he could be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

This is related to his ability to judge the situation and his sense of proportion.

The emperor was not suspicious of him, so he was able to let him take charge of the secret guard.

This kind of thing can't be done by the head of the secret guard, and the person who will replace him in this position in the future may not be able to do it.

"What does Lord Zhao think this king should do?"

Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Prince Rui to throw such a question to himself.

He shrugged his shoulders and replied lazily: "Why does the prince have to ask knowingly, since the lower officials have rescued the prince, isn't it now that he has become a grasshopper tied to a line, one is prosperous, and the other is lost?" ”

Zhao Jingxuan said very frankly, he knew the prince's character very well, once he felt that the other party was a threat, he would do whatever it take, and he would inevitably put the other party to death.

I believe the crown prince knows better than anyone what the outcome of such a big event as the murder of Prince Rui will be, but he still did it.

This kind of ruthless person can be placed in any era, as long as the time and place are right, and people will inevitably be able to achieve great things.

However, Zhao Jingxuan will not be afraid because the other party is ruthless.

He rescued Prince Rui, and the development of events could not be turned back.

"The prince doesn't need to worry, but if I can help the prince, I will definitely do my best."

Prince Rui didn't expect Zhao Jingxuan to take a stand so simply, but he didn't know that among the princes, he was Zhao Jingxuan's most optimistic candidate.

After receiving Zhao Jingxuan's answer, Prince Rui nodded with satisfaction.

He fell silent, and Zhao Jingxuan didn't open his mouth to break the silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

But soon someone outside the house came to report, and the black-clothed leader did not resist the pain after all, and directly confessed everything he knew.

"How can it be so fast?"

Although Prince Rui knew that Zhao Jingxuan would have a way to interrogate the matter, he didn't expect the progress to be so fast.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Zhao Jingxuan incredulously.

Although the prince is stubborn, he is not a fool, especially the assassins who have been secretly cultivated must be very good.

But such a person has not been interrogated by Zhao Jingxuan's subordinates, who is more ruthless?

Zhao Jingxuan also saw Prince Rui's thoughts, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"How about attacking the shield of the other with the spear of the other?"

"What do you mean?"

Prince Rui knew that Zhao Jingxuan was explaining the reason to himself, but he really didn't know what the relationship between this sentence was.

"It's just a little trick from the Zhen Food Alliance, but the lower officials didn't expect the effect to be so amazing."

Zhao Jingxuan was also inspired and thought of trying something like Xunxian San.

In fact, if you really use harsh methods to extract confessions, the effect is not necessarily outstanding against a killer like the black-clothed leader who has been carefully cultivated by the prince, and even persecution too hard may be counterproductive.

However, the other party would never have expected that Zhao Jingxuan would use the method of seeking immortals.

Drugs can torture people's wills, and before that, the black-clothed leader was distracted because of information asymmetry, and it was easy to be affected.

"I also got a little inspiration from Yang Ming's previous incident, and made some attempts, but I didn't expect the medicinal effect of Xunxian Powder to be so strong."

"It turned out to be Xunxian San?"

Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, but he also knew the effect of Xunxian San, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I increased the dosage, so I felt a little stronger than normal."

Zhao Jingxuan dutifully explained, and then turned his head to look at his subordinates.

"What did he confess?"

"This person is the secret guard cultivated by the prince, and he has always been responsible for helping the prince eradicate dissidents and cause accidents. The crown prince was worried that Prince Rui would be loved by the people because of his meritorious service to disaster relief, which would affect the weight of His Majesty's heart, so he wanted to strike first. ”

This black-clothed leader can also be regarded as the prince's henchman, and he really knows a lot of inside information.
