In the prison of the Supervision Department, Liu Yijin lay on the rocking chair, yawning, with tears in his eyes.
"What did Xikun tell me?"
Several old men from the Supervision Department stood aside respectfully and shook their heads: "No, Xikun is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Without His Majesty's order, we dare not use punishment."
Liu Yijin frowned slightly: "Where is Lu Canghai?"
"Lu Canghai is extremely cunning. He will tell you that he knows everything you ask, but what he says is only superficial. This person does not seem to be the core of power."
Liu Yijin smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the person standing behind this person is a protector. If this person can be dug out, I don't need to tell you how much your contribution will be."
Several old people from the Supervision Department were suddenly shocked: "What do you mean, sir?"
Liu Yijin tapped his fingers on the table: "As long as the person doesn't die, everything else is easy. Do you understand?"
Several people looked at each other, turned and left.
After a while, Lu Canghai's heartbreaking voice came from the torture room next door.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Yijin's lips. He had no sympathy for Lu Canghai. Once such a person let him escape, the Liu family would face endless killings.
As for the punishment against Xikun, haha, that's just child's play. What he can know is probably very minimal, but if he is asked to identify the prime minister, I don't know how likely it is.
Liu Yijin stood up and walked directly to the cell next to him, where Zhang Bing was sitting at the table with his eyes closed and meditating.
Liu Yijin asked someone to open the cell door and walked in. He sat in front of Zhang Bing with a smile, "Master Zhang, are you still not going to say anything?"
Zhang Bing looked at Liu Yijin coldly: "Brother Yijin, what do you mean? I think we were still together a few days ago. At your wedding yesterday, you and I toasted and drank. It's only been one night. Is it possible? You just want to kill me?"
Liu Yijin smiled, took out a white paper bag from his arms and pushed it over: "Does Mr. Zhang know what this is?"
Zhang Bing frowned slightly: "Brother Yijin, what do you mean?"
Liu Yijin poured the medicinal powder into the teapot, shook it slightly and poured a cup directly for Zhang Bing: "This medicinal bag was found from you. It seems that some of it has been used."
"This reminds me of when you invited me to drink tea in the prison cell of the Criminal Department. Your eyes were always fixed on this cup at that time, right?"
Zhang Bing's expression changed slightly: "Mr. Liu, what do you mean? Do you think I poisoned your tea?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said nothing. After a while, a man who looked like a boy came in: "Sir, the things are here."
And this person was Yuan Shuo. After Liu Yijin came to Beijing, he specially wrote a letter to Yuan Shuo, asking him to lurk in the imperial capital to inquire about Maitreya Buddhism. And just yesterday, Yuan Shuo also participated in Liu Yijin's visit to the capital. A pound of wedding, but his identity became a servant of the Liu family.
Zhang Bing didn't know who Yuan Shuo was, but he saw that Yuan Shuo had a close relationship with Liu Yijin, so he expected that this person was brought over from Qingfeng County by Liu Yijin.
This guy is hiding very deep.
Liu Yijin took what Yuan Shuo handed him and spread it directly on the table: "This medicinal powder has the same ingredients as yours. They are all made by Maitreya Buddhism. It is colorless and tasteless when blended into tea, and it will not last for a short time." To the point of death.”
Zhang Bing snorted coldly: "Liu Yijin, His Majesty has made you the deputy head of the Supervision Department. You already have great power. Why are you still eyeing my position?"
"Of course, if you think you need it, I can give it to you."
Zhang Bing pretended to be magnanimous and said: "I have been in this position for a long time. I have not made much achievements in the first place. I have long wanted to step down and make way for others."
Liu Yijin talked and laughed without saying a word.
This guy is really cunning. He avoids the important and ignores the easy. He doesn't talk about his own affairs at all.
Liu Yijin poured the medicinal powder into another tea cup and pushed it to Zhang Bing with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhang is so indifferent, how about a cup of tea?"
Zhang Bing's expression changed slightly: "Liu Yijin, I am also the head of the Supervision Department after all. Don't you think you are too impatient?"
"It's just a cup of tea, and it won't poison you to death. Besides, this powder is just a chronic poison. I just want to confirm whether people will suddenly lose their temper and become murderous after drinking this tea. sex."
Liu Yijin looked straight at Zhang Bing, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, but Zhang Bing's expression was indifferent: "Liu Yijin, what do you mean?"
"Master Zhang, there is no conclusion yet on the matter of you wantonly killing King Su in the prison of the Criminal Department. If you tell me the reason obediently, I will naturally give you a fair deal. If not, then don't blame me for being rude to you. "
"What a joke!" Zhang Bing pretended to be calm: "King Su suddenly went on a murderous rampage, and I stopped him regardless of reason or emotion. However, King Su's temperament changed drastically, and his attack was not serious at all. In order to protect the Prime Minister, I could only stand up and resist. "
Liu Yijin said: "Then you mean that Prince Su's temperament changed drastically after drinking tea?"
Zhang Bing's expression changed slightly after being caught.
Liu Yijin snorted coldly: "Master Zhang, if King Su has had tea, I will know as soon as I ask. If you don't tell the truth now, then you are a member of Maitreya Buddhism. Haha, it's not a big deal if you die. Have you never considered your family?"
"As far as I know, your son is still less than ten years old. He is a single descendant of the Zhang family for three generations. If the relationship ends just like this, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Liu Yijin's face was gloomy: "I don't care about the relationship between Maitreya Buddhism and the court, but since they want to kill me, don't blame me for digging three feet to find them."
Zhang Bing took a deep breath: "Liu Yijin, what do you want?"
"I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one person go." Liu Yijin looked at Zhang Bing with cold eyes: "You have to think clearly. I will give you the opportunity. If you don't cherish it, then I can only I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang.”
Lu Canghai's heartbreaking voice came from the cell next door, which made Zhang Bing's hair tingle: "Liu Yijin, without His Majesty's order, do you dare to touch me?"
"Is there anything you dare to do?"
Liu Yijin waved to Yuan Shuo, who was standing respectfully aside. The latter took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Sir, these are all the people in the Supervision Department who have a close relationship with Zhang Bing. There are 123 people in total. Among them, there are fifty-two department leaders stationed in various places."
Zhang Bing's expression changed slightly: "Liu Yijin, what do you want to do?"
Liu Yijin's eyes were dark: "Cut the grass and root out the roots. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Zhang Bing, tell me honestly and clearly that I will ask you to resign and return to your hometown. If you don't cooperate, once Xikun opens his mouth, even the prime minister may not be able to save you."
Seeing Zhang Bing's hesitation, Liu Yijin sneered: "Master Zhang, I've given you the opportunity. It's up to you whether you want to or not."
After speaking, Liu Yijin stood up and walked out.
Before Liu Yijin could reach the door, Zhang Bing suddenly shouted: "Liu Yijin, does your Majesty know about this?"
A playful smile appeared on Liu Yijin's face. He turned around lightly, glanced at Zhang Bing, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for your reply."
"If you cooperate well, this matter will end here. If you don't cooperate, then don't blame me for being unkind."
Zhang Bing took a deep breath: "I was also bewitched by Xikun about this matter. He contacted Maitreya Buddhism for the specific matters."
"Oh?" Liu Yijin suppressed his excitement and looked at Zhang Bing: "Then what is your status in Maitreya Buddhism?"
