After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

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

Zhou Shigong sneered: "Why can't I? I was so miserably plotted by their family, and I kindly reminded Marquis Yingchuan not to be plotted by others. It is obviously a great merit! Why can't I?!"

"You have no evidence!" Zhang Pinggui took a deep breath, "He won't believe you. Why should he believe you?! Marquis Yingchuan is the emperor's confidant. The emperor can't tolerate the Zhou family. He only shares the emperor's worries, so how can he Do you believe you are sowing discord?!”

"Originally we had no evidence." Haitang tilted her head and looked at him, "But now we have it. Aren't you the best witness? If you hadn't spoken, how would we have known that you were from the Sun family? Someone who came to assassinate Prince Yingchuan? Not to mention that the Sun family wanted to kill Prince Yingchuan in order to resolve his engagement with Miss Sun so that Miss Sun could become Prince Ji's stepmother."

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

Hai Jiao smiled: "But we heard you speak. If you hadn't spoken, how would we have known the truth? No one in Chang'an City knew that Princess Ji of Prince Ji was dead, and the Sun family was worried that there was no unengaged girl in their family. I am worried that my son can continue to be the concubine of Prince Ji. Even if you deny it later, you can't hide the fact that you were afraid of death and told the truth right after you fell into our hands."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Shigong with a smile. Zhou Shigong also woke up and smiled coldly: "Yes, if you, the killer, hadn't been taken down by us and told all this in order to survive, how would I have known that I My biological sister actually colluded with the Sun family in an attempt to kill my husband’s nephew and frame it for my natal brother? I am a good brother who has always been filial to my stepmother and friendly to my younger siblings. If I wasn’t so shocked and angry after knowing the truth, how could it be possible? Will he turn against his stepmother?!"

Zhang Pinggui was shocked and angry.He could tell that the Hai family brothers and sisters were deliberately trying to frame him.Obviously he didn't say anything, everything was just the guess of the brother and sister, but they guessed the truth. In order to protect himself, Zhou Shigong also helped to lie.In this way, once the news is spread back to the capital and made known to the Sun family, who will believe that he has been keeping secret and has never confessed a word? !
Zhang Pinggui was so angry that he was trembling all over. He couldn't believe that he was always smart and had no plans, but he was caught by two and a half-year-old children and a fool.

Seeing this, Haitang lowered her tone and persuaded him: "You'd better do it honestly. If you can satisfy the Zhenguo government, you can be convicted as an inconspicuous accessory in the Jin family's murder case and be in Chang'an City." You will be imprisoned there. It is not so easy to reach out from the capital, otherwise, the Sun family would not have to send you all the way to kill people. You will not be able to escape the crime, but it is good to live one more day, isn't it good? "

Zhang Pinggui hesitated for a moment, but his eyes quickly became firm again: "Don't try to coax me with sweet words! Unless Duke Zhen Guo personally promises it, I won't believe anyone! What I haven't done, I haven't done." Do you think you can accuse me unjustly based on your few guesses?! My master’s family won’t believe it!”

Haitang smiled: "Don't say you are so innocent. If you hadn't leaked a flaw in your words just now, no matter how smart our brothers and sisters are, we wouldn't have been able to guess your real goal, right? Some words don't have to come from you. Only when you say it with your mouth can it be regarded as your confession. If you really don't want to leak the secret, why didn't you act calmer just now? You refused your great-uncle's arrangement to recommend you back to the Minzhou Guard, and I heard that the Prince of Yingchuan will go to Minzhou The state guard was panicked and kept asking... Did you do it yourself?"

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

Hai Jiao said with a smile: "You are a little person, don't think too highly of yourself. You may be a little smart, and you may have heard some news from the DPRK, but the Sun family is high and there is no shortage of smart people under them. If they If I really value you, why would I let you come all the way to Chang'an in the middle of winter to do dirty work? As long as the Sun family knows that you have revealed that they want to kill the Prince of Yingchuan, do those details really matter? They have to go out of their way to do it. Come to investigate and clear your name, then save you and continue working for them? As long as they think you have betrayed your master, they will kill you. No matter how many excuses you make, what's the use?"

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 you have spilled the beans and can't take it back, why not just make it happen? As long as you make yourself more important, maybe the Zhou family will take the initiative to protect you? The Sun family is very scary, but they What they did cannot be seen in the light. As long as they lose power and have no dead soldiers who can kill people and set fires everywhere, who can threaten you? Are your skills worse than others, or are your brains stupider than others?" "Stop talking! "Zhang Pinggui squeezed out these three words through his teeth, not daring to listen any more.He was afraid that he would be persuaded by the Hai brothers and sisters and really betray his master. Then it would be really irreversible!

Haitang turned to look at Haijiao, and Haijiao shrugged: "Then let's do this for now. He won't believe us if the two of us talk softly. After the Duke Zhen and the old military advisor have finished examining the person, they will make a decision."

Zhou Shigong said hurriedly: "I will send someone to deliver a message to my eldest cousin and ask him to send someone to take this thief away immediately!" The night was long and full of dreams. Although the mystery of Zhang Pinggui's identity was closely related to the third room of the Zhou family, he wanted to ask more clearly. He wanted to hand them over, but the more he listened to the two children of the Hai family, the more frightened he became, knowing that the truth of the matter was far more complicated than he imagined.

He has never been a person who can bear heavy responsibilities, so he should leave people to the family pillar.He can continue to live his life under the protection of his family as before.Stepmother Mrs. Ma and her sister Zhou Shuyi made a big mistake. Her brother Zhou Shicheng doesn't know whether he was involved in it, but he is innocent!As long as he is safe and sound, the third room of the Zhou family can support him!

Zhou Shigong walked quickly to the door, intending to call someone, but suddenly he heard Zhang Pinggui saying gloomily behind him: "Since you plan to frame me, don't blame me for getting in front of the Duke of Zhen and dragging Mrs. Zeng's second wife into the water! I But I don’t know about the Sun family. The master behind me is Mrs. Zeng Er. My father died working for her. Many people know that I am under her. The Duke of Zhen Guo only needs to send someone to Beijing to find out. As long as I don't admit it, and the boss is Mrs. Zeng's biological brother, how can we prove that you really asked the truth from me, instead of just making up lies to cover up Mrs. Zeng's crimes? Even if I If you can’t get better, you can’t even think about it!”

Zhou Shigong turned back angrily and glared at Zhang Pinggui: "How dare you!"

Zhang Pinggui looked at him contemptuously: "That's what I did, what can you do against me?"

Hai Jiao glanced at him: "Where do you get the confidence that the Zhenguo Guild does not believe in your own relatives, but believes in you, a traitor? Besides, we have brothers and sisters as witnesses. We have nothing to do with Mrs. Zeng Er. There is even some disharmony.”

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhou Ma's voice trembled as she boldly agreed, "Because of me, sister E's family is fed up with sister-in-law E, and they will never lie for her!"

"So what?!" Zhang Pinggui raised his head, "You will only find out that I am Mrs. Zeng's second wife, but it is impossible to find out that I have a relationship with the Sun family. If the Sun family doesn't recognize it, the Zhou family is framing political enemies! How could the emperor punish his close associates just because of your one-sided words? Besides, I also know many dirty secrets of Mrs. Zeng. As long as I tell them, she will die, and you, the Zhou family, will not be able to forgive her! "

"I don't care if she goes to hell!" Zhou Shigong angrily threw away his sleeves.
