Chapter 112: The Six Princes
"If it's just for bluffing, why are you hiding?"
As he spoke, Qi Changrong smiled at him slightly, tilted his head, moved his gaze to the torture instrument not far away, and fell into deep thought for a short time.
She seemed to be wondering which one to use later.
"Besides, it's not so much that you're using it to bluff people, but rather believe that you're smuggling weapons, after all, that's the only way to get the right amount."
No one dared to take her words, in Dajin, it is a capital crime for ordinary traders to sell weapons privately, and once the crime is settled, there is only one way to die.
Da An'an was uncertain, his hateful teeth were itchy, and he was worthy of being the prince of Changrong, and he dug a pit in every sentence and waited for him to jump.
If it weren't for the fact that his mind was still firm, maybe he would have fallen in her way at this time!
Ignoring the indignation in the eyes of Da'an and the rest, Qi Changrong continued: "Although Lone has lived in the palace for a long time and rarely has contact with the outside world, but due to the relationship between the Great Jin and the Liang Kingdom, he can't help but want to know more about the Liang Kingdom in his leisure time, so he flipped through all kinds of books about the Liang Kingdom, including the weapons of the Liang Kingdom. ”
The Great Jin and the Liang State are in the same situation, each regards the other party as a thorn in the flesh, and the war just started with great fanfare at the beginning of the year.
As a result, Junmen saw through the conspiracy of the Liang people, defeated the Liang army, and took advantage of the situation to seize the land of Liang and a state, and intercepted countless property.
In the eyes of the Liang people, it is not an exaggeration that they may regard Dajin as an enemy who kills their father.
"The Liangguo scimitar is specially made, in addition to the many small spikes in the blade position, there is also a mechanism in the handle, if the blade is controlled, it can be divided into two through the mechanism, and the enemy is caught off guard."
Listening to her confident talk, she looked like she had already been famous, not only the arrested people were speechless, but even Pei Ji and Fu Xiang looked at each other, and they were speechless.
As soon as the words fell, there was no need for any proof, and Da'an's expression of disbelief said it all.
At this moment, an unprecedented impulse suddenly rose in Fu Xiang's heart, he wanted to personally take a look at the confiscated weapons and confirm whether they were the same as what Qi Changrong said.
So, he hurriedly said to Pei Ji: "You keep watch here, I have something to do, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Fortunately, all the things confiscated were in the treasury of the government, which was convenient for him to look back and forth.
"Where are you going?" Pei Ji just wanted to stop the person, but he stretched out his hand but got empty, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly: "I don't know when this person's style of acting in a hurry will change." ”
He sighed, and suddenly a burst of rage sounded in his ears, shaking his head with a sharp pain, and the buzzing sound in his ears gradually increased.
In the blink of an eye, it was the leader of the caravan who stared at Qi Changrong with round eyes, obviously angered by her words.
"Okay, you long-looking prince, you have been playing tricks on us!"
I already knew their identities and didn't say it directly, and watched them fight fearlessly trapped beasts.
What a thoughtful long-faced prince!
If Qi Changrong is playing monkey play, then they are the group of monkeys who are being played.
Shi Chun was also taken aback, she was standing next to Qi Changrong, seeing that Da'an was emotional, as if there were signs of trying to hurt people, she hurriedly stepped forward two steps to block Qi Changrong reluctantly, staring at the few people opposite with a vigilant face.
Qi Changrong patted Shi Chun's arm soothingly, and coaxed her gently like a child: "Don't be afraid, they have already lost their strength and can't hurt people." ”
Although Da'an's fingers were uneasily picking at the stake, he had been picking for so long, but there was no trace on the stake.
From time to time, I would see his hands hanging straight down, so it can be seen that before they were imprisoned here, Fu Xiang poured them with soft tendons.
Seeing that the identities of several of his people were dismantled, Da'an only felt that his heart was burning and uncomfortable.
He wanted to look to the side several times to confirm the status of his companion, but he was afraid that Qi Changrong would see that it was unusual, and then it would be unfavorable to that person, so he had to endure his mind and not squint.
"How did you determine our identity?" Da'an is also a person who knows each other, knowing that the dying struggle is useless, so he simply let go of the conversation, and he has more important things than hiding his identity at the moment...... Only by delaying time and waiting for rescue can we get a glimmer of life.
He can die, but one must not happen.
Thinking of this, Da'an continued as relaxed as he could: "If you rely on those scimitars alone, it will inevitably be too hasty and arbitrary, we have been walking all over the Great Jin all year round, and our accent is no different from the people of the Great Jin, why do you doubt our origins?" ”
"It's simple." Qi Changrong smiled warmly, and leisurely stroked the sandalwood beads on his wrist: "Your accent is too authentic...... The authentic Tao is surprising, how can a person who has traveled from south to north to do business all year round have such an accent? ”
Those people will more or less have a little bit of speaking habits that have been acquired from the local area.
However, their voices seemed to be tailor-made for Shangjing.
"Of course, there is an even more important point, when you were in prison, your escaped companion also did something outside that caused a sensation in Huangsha City."
Da'an already had a bad premonition in his heart: "What did he do?" ”
"Shi Chun," Qi Changrong called, and the latter took out the white cloth with blood characters from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it in front of Da'an's eyes.
"He killed a man, dried his blood and hung it on the wall, and left a threatening message saying that if he didn't let you go, the matter would not end."
Da'an's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what? If you arrest innocent people without permission, you will not allow them to retaliate by special means? ”
"Innocent?" Qi Changrong shook his head and disagreed: "You are not innocent, take a good look at this word, you can speak the official language of the Jin State very fluently, and you are also a businessman, but this word ...... Why is it so unsightly? ”
“……”
Da'an was silent, he never thought that the problem would appear here.
Qi Changrong's eyes were gloomy, and he guessed unhurriedly: "Gu has already checked, you have stayed in the southeast for a long time in the name of business, with the cold-blooded level of the Liang people, it stands to reason that even if your companion is dismantled, you will not blink, let alone make a big threat......
"This time you were caught, and the escaped Liang did not hesitate to deliberately expose himself, it seems that he was trying to inform you of the importance of Lonely, so as to temporarily save your lives."
"Lone is curious, who is the most important person among you?"
With her words, the more Pei Ji thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, so he pursed his lips and pondered.
There were four prisoners who were caught, and they were dressed in the same costumes, so it would be hard to tell if they really caught important people.
Cold sweat kept oozing from Da'an's forehead, but he didn't dare to say another half a word.
The more he was afraid of talking, the more this ghostly Qi Changrong would know.
"It's okay if you don't speak." Qi Changrong saw that Da'an's expression was dark and uncertain, and his attitude was even more idle, so he yawned elegantly before saying, "Anyway, Gu has enough time to spend with you...... But there is still an important thing to do at the moment, and I am afraid that I will be wronged by you. ”
Da An's head jumped, and he glanced at her coldly, knowing that it would not be a good thing.
"Pei Ji." Qi Changrong called calmly.
Pei Ji, who was in deep thought, heard his name and hurriedly responded: "The minister is here." ”
"Hang these people on the city wall early tomorrow morning, and they don't have to be killed, just let them be exposed to the scorching sun, abstain from drinking and fasting, and how long they can last depends on their creation."
“……”
Although it did not directly ask for their lives, it made them worse than dead.
The climate in the southeast is already harsh, and the sun is even hotter and unbearable at noon.
Also abstain from eating and drinking...... It was clearly to make them die after being tortured.
Sure enough, he is a member of the royal family, and his methods are as ruthless as ever.
However, it is indeed a good way to treat their bodies in the way of others, they can regard the lives of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty as a mustard, and His Royal Highness will naturally not regard their lives or deaths as one thing.
After explaining, Qi Changrong took his own people back to Pei's mansion the same way.
Pei Ji stayed in the palace, and for him, today was another sleepless night.
Surrounded by night, the guards lit lanterns under the porch.
Fu Xiang came from a distance, his eyes were full of emptiness, and his face was depressed.
"Fu Xiang?"
As he passed by, Pei Ji called out to him, and the latter did not react, as if he had lost his soul.
In desperation, he had no choice but to get closer and shouted in Fu Xiang's ear.
This time, Fu Xiang reacted, and after stopping, he stared at Pei Ji with a blank expression: "Master Pei, you are not guarding by His Highness's side, why are you here?" ”
"The trial has been completed, and His Highness has gone back to the house to rest at this time."
Fu Xiang's eyes widened, and he looked up at the dark night sky, and was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that so much time had passed, Fu Xiang slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in annoyance: "It's all because I was fascinated for a while and forgot the time." ”
"Fortunately, His Highness didn't say anything, and he didn't care." Pei Ji patted him on the shoulder: "I see that you are restless, and you have not agreed several times, is something happening?" ”
Fu Xiang was stunned, and just wanted to say his guess and plate, but the words stopped when they came to his mouth.
Therefore, he was not sure whether Qi Changrong was willing to let more people know that she was secretly sending someone to investigate, so Fu Xiang had no choice but to hold back his thoughts and shook his head as if nothing happened.
"Nothing big happened, just something I didn't understand before, and now everything is clear."
Afraid that Pei Ji would ask, Fu Xiang quietly changed the topic: "You said that His Highness has finished the trial, so what did His Highness judge out?" ”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Pei Ji's attention was instantly diverted, and he scratched his back spoon a little dazedly: "His Royal Highness has found out that there is an important person among them." ”
"Who is he?" Fu Xiang grasped the key point, he arrested a total of four prisoners, and chose one of the four......
"Your Highness hasn't tried this yet." Pei Ji was originally a little proud, but when he asked like this, that little bit of smug thought disappeared in an instant, and the whole person became a little scared.
