Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 212

It seemed that the two prisoners who dared to assassinate Qingji were tough guys with strong bones.

No matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot make them betray the person behind them.

However, Wu Zixu, who is familiar with human nature, can do nothing?
"It's easy to die. But why is life so difficult?"

Wu Zixu had a cold smile on his face, looked at the prisoner in front of him and said, "Little brother, you are still young, why do you want to die?"

"I think the reason why you endured such torture and refused to confess to the person behind it even to the death, you should have some scruples."

"Should your family be under someone else's control? Parents? Wife and children? Brothers and sisters?"

After a pause, Wu Zixu stared closely at the expression on the prisoner's face.

Wu Zixu, who is good at observing words and deeds, can easily see that this is where the prisoner's scruples lie!
If he would rather give up than surrender, and would not confess to the person behind the scenes, his family members would also be properly taken care of.

And if the person behind the scenes is identified, the prisoner's family members will surely die!

Therefore, it is enough to die alone, why bother to bring the family to suffer together?
This should be the inner thoughts of the prisoner.

But for Wu Zixu, it is not impeccable.

Because the human heart is an elusive thing!

"Little brother, please listen to me."

Wu Zixu said earnestly: "Life is short, why make things difficult for yourself? If you lose your wife and children, you can find another life; It’s just cutting off some of my family affection.”

"That's why, why do you make things difficult for yourself? Life is only a few decades in a hurry, and it is fleeting. You can only look at the weak years, and you still have a good time. How can you give up your life lightly?"

"..."

The prisoner remained silent.

At this time, the companion next to him had already passed out from the pain.

This iron torture is really not something ordinary people can stand!
A jailer suddenly came over with a plate of horseshoe gold. The golden luster made people salivate.

Wu Zixu took a piece of horseshoe gold, put it in his hand, and said, "Ten gold pieces. As long as you recognize the person behind the scenes, the ten gold pieces will be yours!"

The prisoner did not speak.

Wu Zixu waved his hand again, and ordered the jailer to bring a tray, put a few pieces of horseshoe gold on it, and staring closely at the prisoner's eyes, he said loudly, "Fifty gold! Tell me, who ordered you to stab the king in the street?" Kill him?"

The prisoner gritted his teeth, but remained silent.

Wu Zixu was not discouraged, and put a few pieces of horseshoe gold on the tray, and said loudly: "One hundred gold! As long as you confess, this one hundred gold will be in your pocket!"

Seeing this, a hint of greed flashed in the prisoner's eyes, but he also said stubbornly: "Wu Yuan, don't you think that I will succumb to the coercion of this money!"

"A man can do something and not do something! How can he bend his waist for a hundred gold?"

"What a great ambition!"

Wu Zixu feigned admiration, and continued to increase the price: "Three hundred gold! You have to think about it, how much money is three hundred gold that a family can't earn in a lifetime? It is enough for one person to live happily ever after. !"

"With three hundred gold, you can flee to another country and settle down, marry a beautiful wife, take a concubine like a flower, buy land and a house, and do any kind of business to make a living."

"I……"

The prisoner wants to refute, but he doesn't know where to start!
"Five hundred gold!"

Wu Zixu was very decisive and put all the horseshoe gold on that tray.

Now, how could the prisoner not be moved?

However, he was still worried and in a dilemma.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zixu sneered to himself, took off a piece of gold horseshoe, and said, "Should I recruit? No?"

"..."

The prisoner did not speak.

Wu Zixu took off the horseshoe gold on the tray again on his own.

Seeing Wu Zixu's actions, the horseshoe gold was getting less and less, and the prisoner couldn't help feeling flustered, and hurriedly said, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

"Say!"

Only then did Wu Zixu show a satisfied smile.

"Wu Tingwei, to tell you the truth, except for those Ziyu, our assassins are all Yue people. About a month ago, the chief officer of the Yue Kingdom, Luming, secretly summoned us and ordered us to assassinate the King of Wu!"

"In the capital of Wu, are there still remnants?"

"Yes, yes."

"Hurry up!"

Under the lure of money, facing Wu Zixu's questions, the prisoner knew everything and talked endlessly, and he was amazed by the jurors who were on the sidelines.

No wonder, the king often said that Wu Zixu had great talent, almost omnipotent!

Before, Gum Hua thought that Qingji was promoting Wu Zixu, but he didn't expect the latter to be so versatile?
After learning such important information, Wu Zixu ordered people to search for the remnants of the Yue people who had planted in the capital city of Wu according to the place the prisoner said.

"Wu Tingwei, my five hundred gold?"

Looking at the hill-like pile of gold horseshoes on the tray, the prisoner swallowed, the greedy look on his face hard to hide.

Seeing this, Wu Zixu just said calmly: "Five hundred gold? What five hundred gold?"

"Wu Tingwei, didn't you say that as long as I confess to the person behind it, you will give me the five hundred gold?"

The prisoner was taken aback.

Hearing this, Wu Zixu just sneered, looked around again, and asked to the left and right: "Second and third son, did I say such a thing?"

"Not yet!"

The jailers around him would naturally not admit it, and it was as if it hadn't happened.

Wu Zixu said again: "Furthermore, so what if I really give you five hundred gold? Do you have a life to spend?"

"Didn't you just agree to let me out?"

"Hehehehe, I can agree, can the king agree? Can the law of the country agree? Your crime of assassinating the king and killing the king is tantamount to rebellion. It is not an exaggeration to tear the car apart. How can I, Wu Yuan, be good at it?"

The prisoner had already realized that he had been deceived and that he had been tricked by Wu Zixu, so he couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Old thief Wu! You must die!"

"Take it off!"

With a wave of his hand, Wu Zixu ordered the jailer to take the cursing prisoner back to his cell.

Seeing this, the CRRC Mansion Commander Jiao Hua couldn't help applauding and laughing: "High! It's really high! Ting Wei, I'm convinced of you!"

"Such an interrogation method of coercion and temptation, who in the world can surpass the king?"

"No wonder Your Majesty usually praises Ting Wei very much. I have just seen Ting Wei's great talent just now!"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu waved his hands and said with a smile: "The order of the CRRC Mansion is absurd. Now the truth is clear, the assassination of the king was the mastermind of the Yue people, why don't we enter the palace and report to the king?"

"Please!"

Gu Hua looked at Wu Zixu with admiration, and quickly made a "please" gesture to let Wu Zixu go in front.

Wu Zixu was also polite, bowed to Jiao Hua, and immediately left the prison, and went to the Wu Palace with him by car.
