Chapter 284: Degraded to a common man, a sharp turn for the worse (5)
"Gu Panxi, when I see it today, it's really like a world away."
Shi Wenzheng put down the scroll in his hand, looked down at the back of Gu Panxi's head who was kneeling on the ground, and laughed coldly.
"Since you married into the Zhao Palace, this is the first time you have been so respectful to me. Am I wrong? ”
The big husband can bend and stretch, and the big woman can't show weakness either. Gu Panxi settled down, calmed down his emotions as much as possible, and then said: "Panxi knows that there is a lack of etiquette in the past, but the emperor is benevolent and generous, so he does not blame more, and tolerates all kinds of things that Panxi is not." Here, Panxi wants to solemnly admit his mistakes and apologize to the emperor, and at the same time solemnly express his gratitude to the emperor! ”
After Gu Panxi finished speaking, Shi Wenzheng didn't speak for a long time. Shi Wenzheng guessed in his heart that Gu Panxi was here for Di Danqing, and he must have asked for him. At present, she is in charge of Di Danqing's life and death, facing Gu Panxi, she has an absolute advantage, she doesn't need to be ridiculed, she doesn't need to be harsh, she just needs to be silent, it is enough to torture Gu Panxi, making her feel deeply humiliated and uneasy.
Gu Panxi's forehead kept pointing at the cold floor, and all his eyes could see was reflected in the floor tiles, and his face was full of grievances and resentment. She knew that Shi Wenzheng was deliberately hanging herself and consuming her mind, but she was helpless.
After a long time, Shi Wenzheng finally spoke, and he pretended to be generous and said: "Apologize and be grateful, Gu Panxi, say, what are you here for?" Don't you like to say, 'Open the skylight and say something.'" I've now opened the skylight so you can speak brightly! ”
Only then did Gu Panxi raise his head, look at Shi Wenzheng, and said: "Does the emperor remember that when the envoys of the four countries came to the court, at the banquet, the emperor praised Panxi for his performance of 'brave and fearless', and promised Panxi a reward?" ”
"I think about it."
Shi Wenzheng squinted his eyes fakely, raised his hand and tapped his temple, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Gu Panxi took a deep breath, held back his anger, and said with a smile: "The emperor and nobles have forgotten, and it is not uncommon for them to forget this matter. If the emperor asked the people who were present at the time, Li Yu and Li Gonggong were a good candidate. ”
Shi Wenzheng stroked his chin and long beard, and sneered: "I said I forgot, Gu Panxi, do you think Li Yu has the courage to remember?" Don't say that Li Yu is just a mere Li Yu, even if you Gu Panxi brought all the envoys of the four countries at the banquet in the past and asked them to help testify, they will only obediently reply to you with three words - 'forgot'. ”
Gu Panxi stared at Shi Zheng and didn't say a word. She understands that the emperor's so-called golden words and promises have always been a rhetoric that can be unilaterally distorted by him, which sounds high-sounding, but there is no restriction at all.
Shi Wenzheng also knew that it was enjoyable to humiliate Gu Panxi like this, but once he went too far, he was afraid that his original wishful thinking would come to naught. He restrained it at the right time, flicked five fingers on his leg with one hand, and said slowly: "Gu Panxi, let's make a deal, how about it?" I've rarely been so generous. ”
Gu Panxi gritted his teeth, nodded, and promised: "The emperor will open his mouth." As long as Panxi can do it, he will never hesitate for a moment. ”
Shi Wenzheng casually picked up a piece of paper and a pen, threw them to Gu Panxi's hand, and said: "I, I want you to know all the inside stories of the queen and the ugly things from time to time, remember, all of them are listed one by one, and nothing can be omitted." Even if you only know the details, you can't write less, otherwise your wish will be disappointed on your trip today. I will forget all that I promised in the past. ”
“……”
Gu Panxi looked down at the white paper and brush in front of him, and struggled in his heart. She knew that every minute and every second of her hesitation was every step that Di's door took away from Le'an Mansion. If she wants to save Di Yunxi back, lest she also die in the frontier and waste her good years in vain, she must seize the opportunity now.
God knows that with Di Yunxi's fierce and brutal temperament, after going out to the outside of Le'an Mansion, will he take advantage of the carelessness of the guards to cut himself off?
But Gu Panxi really can't easily betray people.
"What's the matter, Gu Panxi, is it the paper I gave you that you don't look down on, or is there something wrong with that brush? Why don't you keep writing yet? ”
When Gu Panxi heard this, he slowly grabbed the brush in his hand.
"What is the emperor going to do?"
Gu Panxi finally asked this question.
Shi Wenzheng looked at Gu Panxi, and saw a kind of determination from the depths of her eyes, at this moment, Gu Panxi, who was completely at a disadvantage, could still have such confidence, which made Shi Wenzheng a little surprised. This is a kind of detachment that would rather be broken than broken.
This Gu Panxi, if it weren't for his daughter, I am afraid that he would become a hero. It's a shame.
Shi Wenzheng smiled, stood up, put his hands behind his back, strode to Gu Panxi's side, looked down at her, and said, "What do you think I am going to do?" Are you worried that I will do something to these people, so that I can kill people and silence all rumors that are unfavorable to me? ”
That's right.
Gu Panxi swallowed his saliva, almost blurting out these two words. She was just worried that Shi Wenzheng now wanted her to confess all the people who knew about it, so that she could send people to kill them all secretly to prevent future troubles.
Shi Wenzheng saw that Gu Panxi fell silent, if there was no accident, it should be in the battle between heaven and man, and he struggled to the extreme, so he took the initiative to speak so that he could push her.
"Gu Panxi, do you think I don't have any numbers in my heart? Let me guess, in the ranks of these rebellious ministers and thieves, there are two people, Tiemuzi and Gao Zhiyuan, right? Temuzi was the benefactor of the first emperor, and in the past, he was even called a brother and sister to me. And Gao Shangshu, he is the minister of the Great Wu Humerus Unit, and the recent incident of the old general has caused some instability in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and his presence will play a huge role in stabilizing the government and the opposition. Gu Panxi, do you really think that I will be reckless enough to attack the two of them? ”
Gu Panxi chuckled in his heart, but then thought about it, the intimacy between Tiemuzi and her and Shi Feiqing was obvious to everyone in the world, and Gao Zhiyuan was obviously the number one person Gu Panxi bothered to win back, and it was not an accident that Shi Wenzheng would guess that the two of them also knew the inside story of the queen and Shi You's ugly deeds.
This is a typical interrogation technique, which uses bluffing to strike the mind of the interrogated person and break down his psychological defenses in order to obtain more information.
Binjiang "Overlord Flower" Gu Panxi knows this set well.
The problem is that in the current situation, even if Gu Panxi has the kung fu to deal with the interrogation, he will not be able to show it. If she didn't confess everything, Shi Wenzheng would not be able to let her fulfill the rewards promised at the banquet of the envoys of the four countries, and Di Yunxi would not be saved.
Is it for Di Yunxi, risking the sacrifice of all the people who know about the queen and the ugly things from time to time, or is it that in order to protect these people, they can only watch Di Yunxi fall into a place of no return?
This is a dilemma for the tram, Rao is as smart as Gu Panxi, and in the face of the oppression of such an ethical problem, he is also anxious and at a loss.
"The Emperor's ......"
Gu Panxi thought about it and finally made up his mind.
"Since the emperor said it, he will not recklessly attack these insiders. That Panxi had to dare to ask, what does the emperor plan to do with them? ”
Shi Wenzheng's eyes were round, "Are you questioning me?" ”
"That's right!" Gu Panxi stood up from the ground abruptly and looked at Shi Wenzheng with his head held high.
"Hehe, this is the Gu Panxi I know who is not afraid of heaven and earth." Shi Wenzheng's smile was mixed with complicated emotions, "Since you are sincere in asking questions, I might as well tell you compassionately." I will not be reckless in attacking them, but I will send men to spy on their every move. As long as they don't do something stupid, rest assured, I'll let them live their lives. But as soon as they make a move......"
Shi Wenzheng raised his right hand to the side of the roar, palmed his hand horizontally from left to right, and said in a deep voice: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Is it just surveillance?
Gu Panxi felt a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and felt a sense of peace of mind, but he became vigilant again, worried that what he said when he asked the government was bewitching, he still didn't nod in agreement, and began to write his name.
Shi Wenzheng and Gu Panxi have confronted her many times, and he has already figured out her psychology, laughed disdainfully, and said, "No, Gu Panxi, when did you start to become such a mother-in-law?" You should know very well that I am telling the truth. I don't want to push you into a corner and make you jump off the wall, which is very bad for me, so I came up with this compromise. On the merits, it's a win-win situation for you or me, isn't it? ”
As he spoke, Shi Wenzheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, I learned your tone, have you learned eight or nine images?" I didn't expect to bargain with people and compete secretly, it's so interesting! ”
Gu Panxi snorted indignantly from her nose, in fact, she didn't care whether Shi Wenzheng was telling the truth or a lie, because even if Shi Wenzheng was telling a lie, she was full of confidence and could make Shi Wenzheng pay a price that was enough to make him regret it for life.
"Your Majesty, I will agree to your conditions and make this deal with you. I also hope that the emperor will keep his promise and just send people to secretly monitor the people on the list, and not act rashly. Otherwise......"
Shi asked Zheng to make a face, "Otherwise, what?" ”
"Poof!"
An earth-shattering gunshot made Shi Wenzheng tremble, and his neck shrunk. His pupils constricted, and he looked at the cold light of the musket in Gu Panxi's hand in a daze, as well as a finger-sized hole punched by her musket on the wall, and was speechless.
"Your Majesty, please remember that if you break your promise, unless you don't let soldiers in armor and shields surround you for personal protection in the rest of your life, all the time, otherwise, Gu Panxi's anger will swallow you!"
