Chapter 39: Xie Jing Shows Loyalty
In another secret room.
Wang Hai put more than ten notes full of handwriting in front of Qin Zheng and said:
"Master, these are the party officials of the Ning Party in the DPRK and the local areas that Xie Jing explained, and these are the henchmen of the Ning Party in the army, these ......"
Look at the long names on the slip of paper.
Qin Zheng's brows were tightly locked, and his expression was solemn.
He knew that Ning's party was powerful, and he had gathered many party officials in the DPRK and in the localities.
What Qin Zheng didn't expect was.
The total number of DPRK, China and local officials is at least 100.
There are not only important ministers of the imperial court, but also high-ranking officials from all over the country, and officials of the feudal territory.
Even in the local garrisons, many people became members of the Ning Party.
This made Qin Zheng feel more and more serious about the situation.
If the Ning Party is not eradicated at an early date, the consequences will be extremely serious.
After roughly browsing the list on the note, Qin Zheng put it on the table and pondered for a few breaths, and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should not be all the members of the Ning Party, or rather, these people are not the core henchmen of the Ning Party."
After Wang Hai and Cao Zhengchun on the side heard Qin Zheng's words, their expressions changed.
In the eyes of both of them.
That's a lot of lists.
Including many high-ranking officials and local officials, as well as local garrison generals.
If these are not the core henchmen of the Ning Party, then who is?
Cao Zhengchun has many doubts in his heart.
But as a eunuch in the inner palace, when it comes to the affairs of the imperial court, he doesn't dare to say much.
Wang Hai asked cautiously:
"Master, do you mean that this list is incomplete? Xie Jing has reservations? ”
Qin Zheng glanced at Wang Hai and asked him rhetorically:
"Wang Hai, if you are in such a situation, will you tell the secrets you know in one go?"
Wang Haileng paused.
The word "impossible" immediately crossed through my mind.
When a person loses its use value.
It's the most dangerous time.
Wang Hai shook his head and said:
"Master, if the minister is in such a situation, he will not tell the secrets he knows if he can get out of the situation without being sure whether he can get out, and he can make the other party jealous if he has reservations.
Once all the secrets are revealed, it is tantamount to putting yourself in an extremely dangerous situation, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”
Wang Hai's words are in line with the meaning of Qin Zheng's sentence just now:
"Since you know this, and he Xie Jing is not stupid, he must not have written all the secrets he knows, or he has the means to save his life."
Qin Zheng pointed to the dense names in front of him and said:
"Don't look at the so many people written on it, there are high-ranking officials in the imperial court, local officials, and army generals, but these people have all defected to the Ning Party on the surface, and a little investigation will show you,
And these local officials seem to have a lot of people, most of them are just wall-riding factions, and the real people behind the scenes, or Ning Heng's core staff team, will definitely not appear on these pieces of paper. ”
Qin Zheng's words shocked Wang Hai's heart, and he hurriedly asked:
"Master, Xie Jing dares to hide it, it's really audacious, the minister will bring someone to give him some cruelty, let him tell everything he knows!"
Qin Zheng stopped and did not agree with Wang Hai's style:
"Although this can have a certain effect, can you guarantee that what Xie Jing said is true? In case he bites all the ministers in the court into the Ning party,
At that time, it will take a lot of energy to discern the truth of his words, which will make it extremely difficult for us to grasp the core information of the Ning Party. ”
Qin Zheng spoke, and Wang Hai didn't know how to operate for a while, so he asked carefully:
"Master, what should the minister do next?"
Qin Zheng thought about it, it was necessary to meet Xie Jing:
"Let's go, go meet Xie Jing, it's time to call it a day today."
After speaking.
Qin Zheng walked towards the secret room where Xie Jing was.
Wang Hai and Cao Zhengchun hurriedly followed.
In a secret room on one side.
When Xie Jing finally relented and wrote down those lists.
On the contrary, I was relieved in my heart, and there was not so much psychological pressure.
He's in a bit of a better state of mind now, not as bad as before.
At this time, Xie Jing was thinking about some questions in his mind:
"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Hai must have brought me here by the will of that person, but why didn't he summon me directly in the palace, but in this way?"
After thinking about it, Xie Jing suddenly thought of a possibility:
"Could it be that he is planning to let me lurk beside Ning Xiang and report to him?"
When I think of this.
Xie Jing's expression became extremely complicated:
"This is walking a tightrope, gambling with the lives of our Xie family."
And just when Xie Jing was thinking a lot.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the back room.
Xie Jing frowned:
"Before, there was only one Wang Hai who came, and his footsteps were single, but this time the footsteps were a little dense, at least more than three people."
Just when Xie Jing was guessing.
The door to the chamber opens.
When he saw Qin Zheng appear at the door
Xie Jing's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then became panicked.
He guessed that Wang Hai was ordered by Qin Zheng, the Son of Heaven, to tie himself here.
But he didn't expect Qin Zheng to come in person.
Xie Jing realized that this matter was complicated tonight.
With a frightened look, he hurriedly bowed down to Qin Zheng and saluted:
"See Your Majesty!"
Qin Zheng glanced at Xie Jing in front of him, but he didn't sneer at him, there was no need for this:
"Excuse me."
Qin Zheng sat on the chair and looked at Xie Jing in front of him.
He didn't immediately ask Xie Jing a question, but remained silent.
Qin Zheng didn't speak.
Wang Hai and Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to say much.
Time.
The room was extremely quiet, the pins could be heard, and the atmosphere was a little oppressive.
Xie Jing stood in place, feeling apprehensive.
He didn't know what the Son of Heaven in front of him was going to ask, and he didn't know how the Son of Heaven was going to punish him.
My heart was beating wildly because of the oppressive atmosphere in the secret room, and I was panicked.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Xie Jing's forehead was covered with sweat, and his face became more and more rapid and nervous.
Qin Zheng saw that the time was almost up.
Only then did he ask Xie Jing.
"Xie Jing, are you willing to use it for me?"
Wow!
Hearing Qin Zheng's words.
Xie Jing's heart tightened.
He understood what he meant.
It's clearly putting him on the side.
One didn't answer correctly.
It's not just him who thanked himself.
They Xie family are afraid that they are also in a catastrophe.
Therefore.
He knelt on the ground with a "poof", looked frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed:
"The minister is guilty, the minister is willing to serve His Majesty, and he will die with his heart and brain, as long as the minister knows everything, he will tell His Majesty everything, and he will never dare to hide it."
Xie Jing's attitude is really good.
But whether the heart is really willing to obey Qin Zheng is unknown.
Qin Zheng didn't care.
Xie Jing's handle is in his hand.
To kill him, it is a matter of minutes.
Qin Zheng didn't say those nonsense to Xie Jing, but asked him directly:
"Xie Jing, let me ask you, do you know that Ning Heng can have today's power, but there are high-ranking people around him to guide him? Or is there a strategist like a military advisor making plans? ”
When Xie Jing heard this, he was shocked:
"Did Your Majesty know about that person's existence?"
