Chapter 272: The Root of the Poison
Wu Zhi sneered, his gaze like lightning shooting at that guy.
"This, this is ......"
The man was startled and hurriedly struggled to retract into his sleeve.
But how could Wu Zhi let him get his wish and grasp it tighter.
"Don't try to hide anything, everyone here is not stupid, as long as someone reminds them, they will definitely be able to think of it, you don't have to worry, I won't do anything to you, you can explain it well, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying this, Wu Zhi suddenly let go of his hand.
The man's strength is probably a little greater than that of ordinary people, but after all, he is a sick man, and he doesn't have much strength, so he almost fell to the ground.
Wu Zhi looked at him.
"You stole it from the cottage, right?"
"I, I don't know what you're talking about?"
The man was on his own.
"Humph!"
Wu Zhi sneered, then turned around and beckoned to the soldiers behind him, "Bring it up." ”
Soon, several soldiers escorted a man up, this person was tall and had a rough face, it was the man who had quarreled with Lao Wu before.
He was wearing a gray cloth shirt, his body was thin and emaciated, and he looked very haggard, which looked like he was malnourished.
His hands and feet were shackled, and when he saw him, Wu Zhi's brows furrowed slightly.
Seeing Wu Zhi frowning, the man chuckled in his heart and was a little scared.
"General, the general spares his life, I really didn't mean to! I just saw the kid with a knife and stabbed his father, that's why I quarreled with him! ”
As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
Wu Zhi's eyebrows raised a fine line, staring at him with a smile.
"Little children? Are you stupid for me? Would believe a lie of this magnitude? ”
Wu Zhi shook his head disdainfully, and then waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, "Bring me a rope and tie him up!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order and immediately ran back to get the rope.
At this time, the man was completely panicked, and hurriedly begged: "General, you can't do this!" ”
Wu Zhi didn't bother to take care of him, and after the soldiers tied the ropes, he turned to the man and smiled again, "Tell me, why are you quarreling with Lao Wu?" ”
"Because ......"
The man gritted his teeth and finally said, "Because I'm his cousin!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Are you his cousin?" It's funny, where did he come from? ”
"It's true!"
The man said through gritted teeth.
Wu Zhi sneered, "I'm right, you are not his relative at all, his parents died early, and after his mother died, he grew up with his grandmother, how do you know him?" ”
Hearing this, the man's face changed unpredictably, his eyes kept rolling, and he finally opened his mouth.
"Because I have a relationship with the fifth child, this relationship is enough to prove that he is our eldest son!"
Hearing this, Wu Zhi's face changed slightly.
The eldest son?
Who are they, Wu Zhi has never heard of them at all.
But since you dare to call the eldest prince in a grand manner, it must be that the origin is not simple!
So Wu Zhi continued to ask, "Let's hear it." ”
The corners of the man's mouth hooked up a treacherous smile, "I am good friends with the fifth child's father, and he is my own nephew, this explanation is sufficient enough, right?" ”
Wu Zhi fell silent and did not speak again.
"Where's your father?"
"He, he has been killed by the fifth child, and he entrusted me to take care of his son before he died, but he is not a good thing, and he actually married other women behind my back!"
When Wu Zhi heard this, he immediately frowned, "You just want to poison him to death?" ”
The man smiled.
"What else do you say? It's already like this anyway, and I don't want to pretend anymore, I admit I'm trying to kill him! ”
Wu Zhi squinted at him.
This guy doesn't seem to be lying, but he really has nothing to do with the fifth child?
Between them, are they really just good friends?
Wu Zhi didn't believe it, there must be other hidden secrets in this.
But now is not the time to dwell on this issue, but to find a suitable opportunity to make Wuzhi believe him completely.
"What's your name?"
The man hurriedly said, "My surname is Wu, Wu Yong." ”
"Wu Yong? Hehe! The name is familiar, whose name is it? ”
Hearing this, Wu Yong's expression condensed slightly, and then he slowly raised his head to look at him.
"General, do you know this name?"
"I don't know."
Wu Zhi shook his head, "However, this name is familiar to me!" ”
As soon as Wu Zhi's words were finished, Wu Yong suddenly showed a look of surprise, "The general knows our name?" ”
"I've heard those two words before!"
"Really?"
Wu Yong was surprised.
"Well, this name belongs to one of my comrades-in-arms, I remember very clearly, at the beginning, the two of us quarreled for a long time because of this incident!"
Hearing this, Wu Yong's face changed, and then returned to normal.
"In that case, then I will tell the general a secret, but the general, no matter what happens to this matter, the general can't tell it!"
Wu Zhi said lightly: "This is nature. ”
"Here's the thing......"
Wu Zhi's brows tightened, and after listening to Wu Yong's narration, the doubts between his eyebrows became more and more intense.
"I see."
"General, everything I said is true, I hope the general can believe it!"
"Well, I'll trust you for now."
Hearing Wu Zhi's words, Wu Yong secretly exhaled, he knew that Wu Zhi was not a simple person, and he could definitely help himself!
But soon, Wu Yong fell into deep thought again, and he was thinking about whether he needed to say something.
Although he is not Wu Zhi's opponent, it is not so easy for Wu Zhi to kill him.
And he will never expose himself because of a stranger.
Wu Zhi saw him pondering, so he spoke: "What? Do you have something to say to me? ”
"Uh......"
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and then said, "General, is it true that you just said that your comrades-in-arms are around here?" ”
"Nonsense!"
"General, if you lie to me, then I have a request."
Wu Zhi nodded, "What request?" You say. ”
"General, I know that you are a good person, and I also believe that you will not harm me, why don't I tell the general the ins and outs of the matter, how about it?"
Hearing this, Wu Zhi nodded, "You can say it." ”
Wu Yong nodded, "Yes!" Checkmate! ”
So he began to tell.
Wu Zhi's gaze fell on him tightly.
"That night I drank too much wine, and the wind blew outside for a long time, and I felt cold, so I went into the house to rest, but I was already drunk and unconscious, and lay in bed, and fell asleep in a daze."
"Then I woke up to find myself sleeping on another stranger's bed with a woman lying next to me!"
