Chapter 199: Threats and Counter-Threats

Zhang Pinggui's color suddenly changed when he heard this: "You can't do this!" ”

Zhou Shigong sneered: "Why can't I?" I was calculated so badly by their family, and I kindly reminded the Marquis of Yingchuan not to be calculated by others, it is obviously a great merit! Why can't I?! ”

"You have no proof!" Zhang Pinggui took a deep breath, "He won't believe you." Why does he believe you?! The Marquis of Yingchuan is the emperor's confidant, the emperor can't tolerate the Zhou family, he will only share the emperor's worries, how can he believe your sowing discord? ! ”

"Originally, we had no evidence." Haitang tilted his head and looked at him, "But now that we have it, aren't you the best witness?" If you hadn't spoken, how would we have known that you were the person sent by the Sun family to assassinate the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan? Not to mention that the Sun family wanted to kill the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan in order to settle his marriage contract with Miss Sun, so that Miss Sun could go to be the stepmother of King Ji. ”

"I didn't!" Zhang Pinggui was shocked, "I didn't say anything!" It's all your own guessing! ”

Reef smiled, "But we heard you speak." If you hadn't opened your mouth, how would we know the truth? No one in Chang'an City knows that the princess of King Ji is dead, and the Sun family is worried that the girl who has not decided on her own marriage can continue to be the princess of King Ji. Even if you deny it later, you can't hide the fact that you once opened your mouth to tell the truth after falling into our hands because you were afraid of death. ”

He looked at Zhou Shigong with a smile as he spoke, Zhou Shigong also came to his senses, and smiled coldly: "Yes, if it weren't for you, the killer, who was taken down by us and said all this in order to survive, how would I know that my own sister would collude with the Sun family and try to kill her husband's nephew while framing her mother's brother?" I am a good brother who has always been filial to my stepmother and loving to my younger siblings. If he wasn't too shocked and angry after knowing the truth, how could he turn against his stepmother?! ”

Zhang Pinggui was shocked and angry. He heard that the brothers and sisters of the Hai family were deliberately trying to frame themselves. Obviously, he didn't say anything, everything was a guess by the brother and sister, but they guessed the truth, and Zhou Shigong also helped to fulfill the lie in order to protect himself. In this way, once the news is transmitted back to the capital and let the Sun family know, who will believe that he has been tight-lipped and has never confessed a word?!

Zhang Pinggui was so angry that he trembled, he couldn't believe that he had always been smart and had no last resort, but he called two and a half children and a fool to take care of it.

Seeing this, Haitang slowed down his tone and persuaded him: "You should be honest." If you can satisfy the Zhenguo Mansion, you can only be convicted as an inconspicuous accomplice in the Jin family's murder case and go to prison in Chang'an City. It's not so easy to reach over in the capital, otherwise, the Sun family wouldn't have to send you all the way to kill people. You can't escape the sin, but it's not good to live one more day? ”

Zhang Pinggui hesitated, but his eyes quickly became firm again: "Hugh wants to coax me with rhetoric!" Unless it is promised by the prince of Zhenguo himself, I will not believe it! What I haven't done, I haven't done. Based on your few guesses, do you think you can wronged me?! My lord's house won't believe it! ”

Haitang smiled: "Don't say that you are so innocent, if it weren't for the flaws in your words, no matter how smart our brothers and sisters are, it is impossible to guess your real goal, right?" Some words don't have to come out of your mouth in order to be considered a confession. If you really don't want to divulge secrets, why don't you act calmer? refused your uncle's arrangement to recommend you back to Minzhou Wei, and heard that the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan would go to Minzhou Wei in a panic and kept asking...... You did it all yourself, right? ”

Zhang Pinggui closed his eyes, his face full of remorse.

Haijiao grinned beside him: "You are a little person, don't think too highly of yourself." You may be a little clever, and you may have heard some news about the DPRK and China, but the Sun family is high, and there is never a shortage of smart people under him. If they really value you, why would they let you travel thousands of miles to Chang'an in the winter to do dirty work? As long as the Sun family knows that you have leaked the fact that they are going to kill the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, those details are really important? Can they come to investigate clearly, return your innocence, and then rescue you back to continue to work for them? As long as they think you've betrayed your master, they're going to kill you. What's the use of your arguments? ”

Zhang Pinggui's closed eyes were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely inside.

Haitang further struck while the iron was hot: "Since I have already said that I have leaked my mouth and cannot be recovered, why not simply do things?" As long as you make yourself more important, maybe the Zhou family will take the initiative to protect you? The Sun family is very terrible, but what they do is not visible. As long as they lose their ground, and they don't have the dead men who can kill people everywhere and set fires, who can threaten you? Are you worse than others, or are you stupider than others? ”

"Say no more!" Zhang Pinggui squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, not daring to listen to them anymore. He was afraid that he would be persuaded by the brothers and sisters of the Hai family and really betray his master, and it would be really irreparable at that time!

Haitang turned his head to look at the reef, and the reef shrugged: "Then let's do it first." We're soft-talked, he won't believe us. When the town and the old military division have finished reviewing the people, they will make a decision. ”

Zhou Shigong hurriedly said: "I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the lobby brother, and ask him to send someone to escort this thief away immediately!" Although the mystery of Zhang Pinggui's identity is closely related to the third room of the Zhou family, he really wants to ask more clearly and then hand over the person, but the more he listens to the two children of the Hai family, the more frightened he becomes, knowing that the truth of the matter is far more complicated than he imagined.

He has never been a person who can take on heavy responsibilities, so it is better to leave people to the pillar of the family to deal with. He continued to live under the patronage of his family as before. The stepmother Madam and her sister Zhou Shuyi made a big mistake, and her younger brother Zhou Shicheng didn't know if he was involved, but he was innocent! As long as he is safe and sound, the three rooms of the Zhou family can support it!

Zhou Shigong walked quickly to the door, intending to call someone, but suddenly heard Zhang Pinggui say gloomily behind him: "Since you plan to frame me, don't blame me for coming to Zhenguo Gong and dragging the second wife Zeng into the water!" I don't know what the Sun family is, the master behind me is Mrs. Zeng's second wife, and my father died for her. Many people know that I am under her hands, and the Duke of Zhenguo only needs to send someone to Beijing to find out. As long as I don't admit it, and the eldest is the brother of Mrs. Zeng's second wife, how can you prove that you really asked the truth from my mouth, instead of making up lies with empty mouths and white teeth to cover up the crime for Mrs. Zeng's second wife? Even if I can't please me, you can't think about it! ”

Zhou Shigong turned his head angrily and glared at Zhang Pinggui: "Vertical son dare!" ”

Zhang Pinggui looked at him contemptuously: "That's what I did, how can you get me?" ”

Haijiao glanced at him: "Where are you sure that the Zhenguo Guild does not believe in its own relatives, but believes in you as a thief?" Besides, there are our brothers and sisters to testify. We have nothing to do with Mrs. Zeng, and we are even a little unharmonious. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Ma's voice trembled, and he boldly agreed, "Because of the forehead, the sister-in-law's family is tired of the sister-in-law, and they will never lie for her!" ”

"So what?!" Zhang Pinggui raised his head, "You will only find out that I am the second wife of Zeng, and it is impossible to find out that I have something to do with the Sun family." The Sun family doesn't admit it, and the Zhou family is a framed political enemy! How could the emperor punish the sins of his confidants because of your words? Besides, I also know that Second Mrs. Zeng has many shady secrets, as long as I tell them, she will be a dead end, and your Zhou family will not be able to please her! ”

"I'll kill her!" Zhou Shigong threw his sleeves away angrily.
