Chapter 272: Clichés
Don't you wonder why I had someone bring you here? ”
"It should be because of Master Li, right?"
"It seems that Zhiyan was arrested and has nothing to do with you." Li Tai clasped his hands on his chest and said to Wei Taining.
"Since His Royal Highness King Yue has already brought me here, why do you want to ask me on purpose? Let me see....... Compared to this brother, it's the guy who has been following me all along, right?
It seems that my performance in front of Lord Li did not win the trust of Lord Li after all. I thought I was doing a good job. ”
Wei Taining sighed, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he didn't look worried about his safety at all.
"Actually, what I want to ask is, where did I get exposed in front of Master Li. That's why Master Li is suspicious of me? ”
"I'll answer you." Li Zhiyan didn't know how to suspect Wei Taining, but Bai Zhi immediately said to Wei Taining behind Li Tai. "Because my brother only asked you about food and grass at first.
But you took the initiative to say that there was a problem with the quality of the grain and grass. That's what makes my brother suspicious of you.
The problem of grain and grass in General Duan's army is only out of General Duan and a few of his cronies. Only a few of us know. You Wei Taining suddenly said that there was a problem with the quality of the grain and grass, how could it escape my brother's ears. ”
"I see. Looks like I'm still too stupid. A small task handed in by the Lord was not completed well.
His Royal Highness King Yue, didn't you arrest me just to ask something from my mouth.
But it may disappoint His Royal Highness King Yue, and I won't tell His Royal Highness King Yue anything I know.
Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yue not to talk nonsense, and go directly to the punishment. ”
Wei Taining looked hard-boned, so indifferent that Li Tai felt that he had caught the wrong person.
"It's amazing, so I'll just get started. See how hard your mouth really is. ”
Li Tai said, picking up a whip soaked in salt water from the platform next to him, and just as he was about to start, Bai Zhi stopped Li Tai.
"Qingque, do you still want to do it yourself?"
"Or else? Are you going to fight Bai Zhi? ”
"I don't ....... If I don't ask again, if I really can't ask, let's call the officials in and be punished." ”
Li Tai thought about it, nodded, and temporarily gave up the idea of doing it himself.
"What, is His Royal Highness King Yue afraid that I will see blood?"
Wei Taining saw Li Tai put down his whip and began to taunt.
"Wei Taining, it's really a little funny that you are not willing to die for your lord now."
"Funny? You're Miss Li, right? Lee-sama's sister? You think I'm funny? What, Miss Li, do you want to do it, come and torture me?
As for such a thing as punishment, I'm afraid that Miss Li, you are even more incompetent than His Royal Highness King Yue. Calling me ridiculous, I only now think that the two are the most ridiculous.
Arrest me back and ask Li Zhiyan about his whereabouts, but he didn't dare to punish me. You guys are like this, so I have a little sympathy for Li Zhiyan and Master Li. I wonder if Lord Li's body was buried when you found him? ”
"Wei Taining, in fact, you are wrong. I didn't arrest you to get my brother's whereabouts from you.
I am still very familiar with my brother, and with his ability, he will definitely be fine. ”
"Then what are you arresting me for?"
"Of course, I want to know who the Lord you just talked about is."
"Ask this? Miss Li, you might as well ask me where Lord Li got it. There's absolutely no way I'm going to tell you that. Miss Li, you should die. ”
"Dead heart? Maybe Wei Taining really told me, maybe maybe you can?
In fact, since I dare to arrest you, I will definitely not have any important evidence in my hands.
Qingque, give me the account book. ”
Bai Zhi smiled and asked Li Tai to take out the account book that had been placed on him.
"Wei Taining, you always recognize this thing, right?"
Treasury Books....... Miss Li is so smart that she knows that we will look for the account books again. So which disguised treasury account book wants me to believe you like that?! ”
"Whether it's a disguise or not, we'll know if we see everything." Bai Zhi casually opened a page of the account book in her hand, and then turned it around so that Wei Taining, who was tied, could see it clearly.
"Why, do you still think my account book is a forgery? Or do you think that I, the daughter of a general, have the ability to forge the account books of the Treasury Department in such detail? ”
"What do you want to say, Miss Li?"
"What do you want to say? Of course, I want to say that your lord is up.
In fact, we have already found out about Liu Zheng of the Ministry of War, and you should be very clear. I estimate that Liu Zheng is already the highest-ranking official person you control in the DPRK.
Now that Liu Zheng is dead, it is equivalent to saying that even if your lord destroys Liu Zheng, you must ensure that your affairs are not exposed.
Add to that the records in this account book, and it's not hard to guess your purpose.
You want to use this grain and grass to rebel, right? ”
"Rebellion? That Li Shimin's world was originally obtained by his rebellion. We're just taking back what doesn't belong to him. Where did the rebellion come from?! ”
"Looks like you're really trying to rebel. Knowing your purpose, it's much easier.
To be honest, I was surprised when I found out what you were trying to do. I was thinking, who is so bold as to dare to raise an army to rebel, doesn't he know my father's name? ”
"Of course, we know the name of General Li Jing very well, but in Xuanwumen back then, General Li Jing had a neutral attitude.
This time, we are still justified, where does General Li have a reason to support Li Shimin, who killed his brother and killed his brother? ”
"Very good, it turned out to be justified." Bai Zhi smiled even brighter, turned her head to Li Tai, shook the account book in her hand and said.
"Qingque, in today's Tang Dynasty, how many princes can justifiably name and want to rebel?"
"No more than three."
"Very good, it seems that Wei Taining, your main range is already very small."
"You....... Are you going to take my word again? ”
"It's what you want to say. And what does it have to do with me. Qingque, then what do you think, among the three princes you said. Who has been the biggest player lately? ”
"This........ It should be King Xu, Li Yuanxiang. ”
"Is it the prince I saw you at noon, the prince you hid from?"
"Yes, the other two princes do not live in Chang'an City. It is extremely difficult for them to control a soldier of the imperial court.
Only this King Xu, who is reluctant to go to the fief in Chang'an City, can control a military squire. ”
