The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 169 Interrogation

Ever since Gao Jun said that there was a strange peddler in Sun Yaoting's house, Xuan Shijing suspected in his heart that this peddler was the same as the peddler who had contacted Xiaolian ten years ago, but it has not been confirmed, and it was just a casual remark just now. .

Xuan Shijing smiled and looked at the shopkeeper who was tied to the chair and couldn't move: "Dude, what else can you say, or you can just say it, it's like squeezing toothpaste, I'm so tired now , and you, if you don’t say it, you may suffer.”

Although the peddler didn't know what toothpaste was, he understood what Xuan Shijing meant, and it was nothing more than asking him to confess everything, so as to save Xuan Shijing from punishment.

Prisons in the Tang Dynasty should not be easily punished. The salesman is naturally aware of this. It is because of this that he has the confidence to spend so much time with Xuan Shijing. But after entering this room, he found that the person in front of him is simply a People who don't follow common sense will take advantage of your loopholes everywhere.

"To be honest, on weekdays, I would have plenty of time to spend with you, but I can't do it today. I brought you here overnight, and the result will be out tomorrow morning. If you refuse to tell me, then I can only make up a wonderful story. It's been a while, do you know who I am?" Xuan Shijing looked at the salesman in front of him with a serious look of danger.

"Hmph." The peddler turned his head away from looking at Xuan Shijing.

"Ten years ago, when you colluded with Xiaolian, the former servant girl of the Marquis of Xuanwei's mansion, and poisoned Marquis Xuanwei's food, did you ever think that the person who was poisoned back then would stand in front of you today?" Xuan Shijing said fiercely. He slapped the peddler hard on the face, and in an instant, the peddler's face was swollen.

Although Xuan Shijing's body was thinner, he was a martial arts practitioner after all, with strong hands, this slap came out with hatred, and the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth was bleeding.

"I know you are Xuan Shijing, but even so, if you want me to confess, don't even think about it!" The salesman simply smashed the jar.

"Actually, even without you, Sun Yaoting and Li Yuanjing would have to die as they should. It's just that more people were involved, and maybe many people would die. Have you seen the letter on the table? Sun Yaoting is a smart man." He didn't destroy these letters, because at the critical moment, these letters were his trump cards, but it was a pity that his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness. These things, in the hands of this marquis, became things that killed him , Moreover, it will also become something that takes Li Yuanjing's life. Let me guess, some officials in Chang'an City more or less have such cards in their hands. Originally, I was still wondering whether you were Sun Yaoting's subordinate or Li Yuanjing's. Subordinate, but after confirming that you are the shopkeeper who went to the Hou's mansion ten years ago, I have confirmed that you are Li Yuanjing's subordinate, at that time, Sun Yaoting had no reason to assassinate me."

The peddler looked at Xuan Shijing in horror. After his eyes fell on the letters on the table, his psychological defense completely collapsed.

This bastard Sun Yaoting!The shopkeeper scolded Sun Yaoting in his heart, he really didn't expect that Sun Yaoting had kept so many factual evidence in his hands.

"Just now I had a rough look at those letters. The involvement of various parties is really complicated. Now, do you want to continue to be tough?" Xuan Shijing looked at the salesman.

The shopkeeper remained silent.

"Interrogating prisoners is really a headache, but I can't beat them." Xuan Shijing said, and slapped the peddler in the face with his backhand.

Standing behind Xuan Shijing, Long'er, Gao Jun and Shi Hu were ashamed, saying that they would not be able to fight.
"Do you know why you hit you?" Xuan Shijing looked at the shopkeeper calmly.

Maybe it's because the person in front of him speaks so out of style that the shopkeeper can't react.

"This is for me. You are also one of the culprits who caused me to be poisoned!" Xuan Shijing said lightly: "So, I came back to take revenge."

Once upon a time, Xuan Shijing was also kind. He wanted to live kindly in the Tang Dynasty, but he had no choice but to be so dirty. He could kill other people's lives for a reason. During the ten years of poisoning, Xuan Shijing Shijing finally understands what it means to be unruly and unsteady. There is no need to let your enemies go. He is not Kong Shengren, and Kong Shengren pays attention to repaying grievances directly. Repaying grievances with virtue is a joke!
Old Master Confucius, a staunch young man, was misinterpreted by later generations as a doormat who would not fight back after being beaten. It is enough to think about it.

The shopkeeper looked at Xuan Shijing with disdain, how a mere Marquis, only fourteen or fifteen years old, would fight against His Royal Highness King Jing who had been in business for many years.

"The little eyes are cute." Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand to pat the shopkeeper's face, the shopkeeper subconsciously wanted to hide, but he was tied to the chair and couldn't move, so where could he hide "I know, don't you believe it? Tomorrow, I will let you see with your own eyes how Sun Yaoting was dealt with. However, before that, I still need your testimony. As a convenience, you can push all the poisoning incidents ten years ago to Sun Yaoting. ?”

The incident of poisoning cannot bring down Yuanjing, so it is better to push it on Sun Yaoting and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. At worst, when it comes to Li Yuanjing, just say he ordered it, listen After listening to Wang's words, Xuan Shijing really didn't want to get involved in the chain of Wu De's old minister, but Sun Yaoting had close contacts with them, and if he wanted to get Sun Yaoting, he would definitely affect his whole body, which made Xuan Shijing very entangled .

"Impossible!" The salesman replied affirmatively.

"Then Li Yuanjing can only be involved together, and those big and small officials, the forces that your lord has run for many years, are about to be exposed. You should know about the theft of King Jing's mansion." Xuan Shi Jing smiled and said: "The Jingwang Mansion lost it, but it was the account book from Li Yuanjing Wude's reign to Zhenguan reign."

Xuan Shijing spread all the cards in front of the peddler, and he wanted to break down his psychological defense step by step. This peddler is an important person, and he is the liaison between the party officials of Chang'an Li Yuanjing.

As soon as the peddler heard the word account book, his whole body tensed up. Although his expression was normal, Xuan Shijing caught a trace of serious panic.

"Unexpectedly, Lord Hou is a person who is not ashamed to frame others for his own self-interest." The salesman swallowed and said mockingly.

"Self-interest? What a self-interest." Xuan Shijing smiled angrily: "Sun Yaoting suppressed Shicheng's book, and hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers died in the hands of the Tubo army in Longxi. Do they deserve to die?"

"Hmph, they are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they should fight. What's more, there are no undead in war." The shopkeeper said disdainfully, "You are still a marquis, so you don't have any awareness."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Gao Jun next to him could almost burst into flames. He stared at the shopkeeper intently, wishing he could go forward and cut him into pieces. How could he say such words so naturally.

Xuan Shijing slapped him on the face again with his backhand, this slap was heavier than the previous two.
