Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 585 Despair

After being arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the shopkeeper and the assistant of the tea house were detained and interrogated separately.

Those guys originally wanted to be tough, but the shadows didn't give them this chance at all, and they were severely cleaned up as soon as they came in, allowing them to experience what it's like to walk around the gate of the ghost.

With this disarming power, when the tea shop staff saw the man in black with his face covered, he began to tremble unconsciously, what to do and what to say, not to mention how honest he was.

As for the shopkeeper of the tea house, according to Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao’s confession, this is Wanyanxi’s absolute supporter of Prince Longqing, and may become Wanyanxi’s helper in the future, so you can’t treat them like those guys That's rude, that's bad hospitality.

Ying Shisan was in charge of interrogating the shopkeeper. He neither slapped his horse, nor used any punishment. The atmosphere of the entire interrogation process was good.

"This is what Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao want to tell you, take a look!"

The letter that Ying Shisan handed to the shopkeeper was dictated by Mrs. Gao and written by Mrs. Cai herself. After being inspected by Shen Cha and Bai Meng, it was handed over to the shopkeeper.The main content of the letter was to tell the shopkeeper that they decided to cooperate with Daxia and the Shen family army to help the little prince Wanyanxi return to the country to suppress the rebellion, and to avenge the former king, the eldest prince, and the prince.

The shopkeeper read the letter five or six times before he believed that his eyesight was fine, their little prince was still alive, and he was going to kill Wan Yanping.For the shopkeeper who was already living in despair and thought that revenge was hopeless, this was simply a pie that fell from the sky, an absolute surprise.

After reading the letter, he knelt down on the ground and saluted Ying Shisan.

"Your Majesty Daxia, Duke Shen, and General Shen have shown me the kindness of my little prince, and I will always remember it in my heart. If there is a need for me in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will die!"

It was also because of this that Shen Cha asked Ying Shisan to explain the situation to the shopkeeper the first night, and asked Master Li to cooperate with him when he brought his colleagues to kneel in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice the next day.

When the shopkeeper heard that there was an errand for him to do, he didn't hesitate to beat him, so he agreed, and vowed to let Ying Shisan not to worry, and put everything on him, and he would definitely handle the errand beautifully.

Qi Yong had already received the news and confirmed the procedure with Ying Shisan. After he finished asking Jin Guo’s secret agent to tell everyone the truth, the people inside the prison were ready. As soon as the gate opened, two jailers charged Walk out with the shopkeeper in heavy shackles.

"Everyone, this person should be familiar to everyone, right?" Qi Yong pointed to the shopkeeper standing beside him, "The shopkeeper of Cenji Tea House, there should be quite a few of you passing by the door of this tea house, or even walking Go in and drink tea, buy tea, right?"

Some of the onlookers are really familiar with the shopkeeper of Cenji Tea House, as Qi Yong said. Now, hearing Qi Yong say that this shopkeeper is from the Kingdom of Jin, or a spy from the Kingdom of Jin, I can't believe it. .

"My lord, is there a mistake?"

"That's right, the shopkeeper is very nice and enthusiastic. During the hottest time of the year, he opens a tea shed and delivers tea to passers-by. Master Qi, how could such a good person do such a disastrous thing? ?”

"A good person and a kind heart have nothing to do with where the shopkeeper is from or who he does things for. Please tell the shopkeeper himself what's going on."

Qi Yong glanced at the shopkeeper and nodded slightly.They have done several rehearsals before, and there should be no mistakes.

"Cough!" The shopkeeper cleared his throat, "I would like to solemnly apologize to the regular customers present today, because I deceived you, I am indeed from the Kingdom of Jin, and I am indeed here to inquire about news, and I have failed everyone's trust in me , I... feel very sorry. But everyone is their master, I was born in the Kingdom of Jin and grew up in the Kingdom of Jin, and it is only natural to do things for the Kingdom of Jin, and I have a clear conscience!"

"What a clear conscience, the shopkeeper's magnanimity, I admire." Qi Yong clapped his hands symbolically, and glanced at Li adults who were kneeling below, "Please come out today, the shopkeeper, in addition to proving your identity, also Please be a witness to prove that Mr. Cai and Mr. Gao have nothing to do with you, the tea house, or the Kingdom of Jin. In this case, it would not be in vain for these lords to kneel here so early to complain for those two lords. "

"It doesn't matter at all?" The shopkeeper sneered, "Master Qi's words are a bit insincere. Don't you all already know that Cai and Gao are my eyeliners and do things for me? Why, let them take me If you confess, you can wash away the sludge on their bodies?"

"Working for you!" Master Li glared at the shopkeeper viciously when he heard this, "You are talking nonsense!"

"My lord, what good is it for me to talk nonsense?" He looked at Qi Yong, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple have already obtained conclusive evidence. Cai and Gao have been doing things for me and for me in recent years. Pass the news. The two of them are in Yushitai, and they know more things and have more information than ordinary people. For me, they are very good targets."

"How did you win them over?"

"That took a lot of work." The shopkeeper smiled at Qi Yong, "Some things can't be said in front of so many people. I can only say that it really took a lot of hard work, and they gave me a good return. Through them , we know which people have a good relationship, which people have a relatively antagonistic relationship, and which people are dissatisfied with the status quo, we can take advantage of it. These will play a very important role in the future plans for Daxia Function." As he said, he shifted his eyes from Qi Yong to Master Li, "So, don't be so naive, the two of them are really not as innocent as you say."

After saying this, the shopkeeper closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Before they did this, they also greeted Cai and Gao in advance, and the two made a request. As long as the true identity of their wives was not revealed, it didn't matter how many crimes they carried.What's more, as the shopkeeper said, they are not innocent. If it is really counted, the status of accomplices cannot be escaped, and they must be punished.

Several people who were kneeling with Mr. Li, after listening to the shopkeeper's words, were silent for a while, then stood up at the same time, gave a deep bow to Qi Yong, walked away with heavy steps, and left without looking back.

In their view, things have come to this point, there is nothing to say.Rather than stubbornly kneeling here and firmly believing that the two are innocent, it is better to kneel at the gate of the palace and ask His Majesty for forgiveness. Wearing court clothes and holding a wat board to kneel in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, this is no less than the crime of treason.If they admit their mistakes in time and receive the punishment in time, there may still be a glimmer of life.

Mr. Li was stunned by this fact. His mind was blank, he couldn't hear the sounds around him, and he couldn't feel what the people around him were doing. His only thought now was that he was cheated. , he was stabbed severely in the back by his close friends and relatives.After today, he will become the laughing stock of the entire Great Xia Dynasty Hall.

Master Li vaguely remembered what he said when he was a child when his family invited a Taoist priest to tell his fortune.

"Little son's life is very rough. He will encounter all kinds of betrayals, become the target of public criticism, and eventually die of depression."

He never believed the words of this Taoist priest, and he never took them to heart, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered today, and the voice was very clear, as if it was said in his ear.

He didn't want to be a laughing stock, he didn't want to be the target of public criticism, and he didn't want to end up in depression. He just wanted to show his strength now and let the world witness his innocence.

Thinking of this, he slowly raised the wat board in his hand, and slammed it hard on his head.

　Business trip tomorrow, stop for a day!

　　The weather is stuffy and hot recently, everyone should pay attention to prevent heatstroke and cool down, eat less cold drinks and drink more hot water, so as not to get sick!
