Pampered ghost concubine is respected

246 Chapter 2 Scared Out of Her Heart ([-])
Yan Rusi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly saw that Liu Cheng closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be unconscious.

As if nothing had happened, Yan Rusi took out the dagger that Nonger gave her and began to play with it, and said flatly, "Drink my jar of good wine, if you still don't wake up, then I will have to use the dagger to cut up the flesh piece by piece. .”

Hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately opened his eyes and said repeatedly, "I'm awake, I'm awake."

Yunyin couldn't help laughing, she had never seen a person who was as timid as a mouse than Liu Cheng, it was too frightening.

Yan Rusi raised her eyebrows, bent down, and smiled meaningfully, "Are you finally willing to wake up?"

Liu Cheng didn't dare to show his anger, he just thought that his people would come.He hurriedly scanned from the corner of his eye, and saw that the two guards outside the cell had disappeared, and his heart jumped wildly. Looking inside the cell, Gong Kui was lying upright beside him, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but there must be a chance out of ten. If he died, he was even more frightened.

"You two girls, we have no enmity today and no grievances in the past, please forgive me, I will order someone to let you go, okay?" Liu Cheng looked at Yan Rusi and Yunyin pitifully, bitterly begged bitterly.But he was thinking about how to delay the time, thinking that his guards should come in less than half an hour, and the valets, if he hasn't seen him come out for a long time, they should also come to him.

Yan Rusi nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, as long as you answer my question truthfully, I promise I won't treat you like I did with Gong Kui."

Liu Cheng froze, and suddenly recalled the scene he saw just now in his mind. Gong Kui's face turned into a bloody skeleton, which was really terrifying.When he looked up, Yan Rusi seemed to be the incarnation of the devil in his eyes.

"I'll say, I'll say anything." Save your life before you talk, as long as you can kill them in the end, who knows if you don't say anything?

"What did Gong Kui ask you to come here?" Yan Rusi asked sharply.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment and was hesitating when Yunyin suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered, "You better hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to stop her from getting angry."

Liu Cheng shivered, and hurriedly said, "Last night, he sent someone to Jinzhou to look for me. He said that he had captured two people from the Three Princes' Mansion. He was afraid that there was some ulterior conspiracy, so he asked me to come over and have a look."

"Why do you want to arrest people from the Three Princes' Mansion? Don't you know who the Three Princes are?" Yan Rusi looked at Liu Cheng coldly, surrounded by an aura that people couldn't look directly at.

Liu Cheng didn't dare to hide anymore, and confessed, "On the surface, I am the magistrate of Jinzhou, but in fact I am the emperor's secret guard. Gong Kui is my subordinate and also belongs to the secret guard. I know that the emperor has always wanted to deal with the third prince. So after hearing Gong Kui say that the people who captured the Third Prince's Mansion hurried over, thinking that if he could catch the Third Prince this time, he would have made a great contribution, and the emperor would definitely reward him heavily."

Yunyin froze immediately, and a chill came to her heart.If Gong Kui was really Murong Liao's secret guard, he must have known about Nether being killed by Murong Liao, but he kept it from Xue Yufeng and even helped Murong Liao with things. Such a person is really not worthy of death.

"Did you report this matter to Murong Liao?" Yan Rusi asked again.

Liu Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, not yet."

"Then do you know what other plots Murong Liao has?" Yan Rusi asked coldly.

"I don't know. In fact, for so many years, apart from secretly paying tribute to the emperor, the emperor has never ordered me to do anything else, nor has he told me any secrets. As for the matter that the emperor wants to deal with the third prince, it is my own guess. .”

Yan Rusi thought to herself, seeing Liu Cheng's appearance didn't seem like she was lying.

"How much money have you paid Murong Liao in total over the years?"

"Over five million taels in seven years."

Yan Rusi suddenly became angry, grabbed Liu Cheng by the collar, and said in a stern voice, "You are a small magistrate, but you have seized 500 million taels of people's fat and people's ointment in seven years, you really deserve to be killed by a thousand knives."

Yunyin also said indignantly, "I don't know how miserable the people of Jinzhou are, you corrupt official." No wonder the streets of Jinzhou are so depressed, it's all caused by dirty officials, and the people may not even survive. All become problems.

Liu Cheng hurriedly said, "It's none of my business. I didn't search for it. The emperor asked for it. Every year, he would say a certain amount. I can't help it. The emperor ordered me to make up for it even if I sell everything." Qi!"

Yan Rusi suppressed the anger in her heart, and then asked, "How much did he talk to you this year?"

Liu Cheng shrank his neck, stretched out three fingers, and whispered, "300 million taels."

"300 million taels?" Yunyin exclaimed in shock, "Even if the people of Jinzhou were sold, it wouldn't be that much?"

After a little thought, Yan Rusi understood that Murong Liao's hidden guards probably died after two assassinations of Rin. That's why he respected Rin now, fearing that Rin would take it away. Because of his throne, he was eager to raise money to re-recruit and train the hidden guards.

"How much money have you accumulated?" Yan Rusi asked in a deep voice.

Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but facing Yan Rusi and Yunyin's eyes, he could only honestly confess, "50 taels."

In less than half a month after the year, Liu Chengcheng made so much money, can the common people still live?Compassion flashed on Yan Rusi's face, although she was never a merciful lord of mercy, but this time she wanted to do something good.

Yan Rusi hurriedly found a pen and paper from Yu Jie, handed it to Liu Cheng, and said sharply, "Write as I say."

"What to write?" Liu Cheng asked in a daze.

Fearing that there would be too little time, Yan Rusi directly took the pen and paper, hurriedly finished writing and handed it to Liu Cheng, and said without hesitation, "Write according to this, not a single word is too many, and no word is allowed to be missed."

Liu Cheng took a look, was shocked, and refused, "No, if I give the 50 taels to the common people, I will be the one to die. I will never write it."

"Really?" The corner of Yan Rusi's mouth curled into a sneer, and the dagger in his hand hit Liu Cheng's neck again, "Your hand is harder than mine. If you don't write, I will kill you right now." land."

The sharp dagger was pressed against his neck, and the cold air penetrated into the bone marrow. Liu Cheng was terrified, and he dared not say more, so he hurriedly picked up a pen and began to write tremblingly.

"Hurry up, do you want to taste the taste of a dagger?" Yan Rusi threatened in a stern voice, and as she spoke, she lightly scratched Liu Cheng's clothes with a knife. None of them survived, even the skin on the surface was torn, and blood suddenly came out.

Liu Cheng was so frightened that he almost lost his wits, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly wrote it down.After finishing, Yan Rusi cut his finger again and asked him to press a handprint on it. After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, and finally found a small official seal on Liu Cheng, and stamped it again with blood stains. The corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.
