"Your crime is treason no matter how you say it. The emperor is furious and wants to torture you severely to extract a confession. Naturally, the people below dare not disobey. I don't like blood. Let's spare you the pain of flesh and blood. Let's talk." Yao Hikaru motioned to the officer behind him.
The officer was very sensible and quickly put the person down, moved him to a clean cell, and then left.
Yaoguang motioned Jiang Zehao to sit down, and Guishan ordered people to put the food and drinks in order. Yao Guang drank a drink by himself: "It's not poisonous. I'm not interested in poisoning."
"Your Highness is generous." Jiang Zehao drank a glass of wine and was not polite. He broke off a chicken leg and took a bite. He muttered: "I'm starving to death."
"Eat, let's talk after you're full." Yao Guang said with a smile. Jiang Zehao ate without raising his head.
"No one is going to compete with you, please slow down." Yao Guang looked at him amused. I poured him a glass of wine myself.
"Thank you." Jiang Zehao mumbled and drank it in one gulp.
"You can hold the bottle and drink." Yaoguang pushed the bottle over. Jiang Zehao ate for a long time before stopping. "Princess, if you want to ask me anything, just ask."
"Don't ask anything. I'm just here to tell you the reason for your failure." Yao Guang paused. Without giving Jiang Zehao a chance to ask, he said directly: "With two hundred thousand troops and the arranged killers, you are enough to overthrow this dynasty. However, someone betrayed you. Before you sent troops, I had already obtained the information you wanted to send troops to the imperial capital. News.”
"Who?" Jiang Zehao asked?
"Sheng Chuhui. You have heard about the major cases that have occurred in the capital in the past few days. Sheng Chuhui sent you a message at this time, saying that he had no way out, so he contacted you to raise troops, and promised you that after the incident is completed, he will make you a Regent, what I said is correct." Yao Guang paused, and Jiang Zehao nodded. Yaoguang continued: "This plan of yours has been drawn up a long time ago. You just wait for the news from Sheng Chuhui. After receiving the news, you were ecstatic and launched the plan without further investigation. In fact, this will hit the target of Sheng Chuhui." Chuhui is pregnant. Sheng Chuhui asked you to start the plan, not to really rebel, but to use my hand to kill you. Because, this throne is not only what Sheng Chuhui wants to sit on, but you also want to sit on it. You want to First support Sheng Chuhui, and then replace him. Sheng Chuhui is not stupid. He knows that you are uncontrollable, so he came to do this. After sending you a message, he immediately told Sheng Chuxue that you were going to rebel. These things in the imperial capital The major case is indeed related to Sheng Chuhui, but I have already protected Sheng Chuhui before the ministers, but you don't know about this. You think that Sheng Chuhui is in danger, and he cannot be lost as a puppet under any circumstances. . So you made a desperate move and sent troops to the imperial capital. But unexpectedly, Sheng Chuhui told Sheng Chuxue the news, and insisted that Sheng Chuxue tell me and let me find a way, so I used my secret guards to trick you. I will reveal all your information. Then I will ambush you in the Imperial Capital and catch you all." After Yao Guang finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Zehao's expression changing again and again. He didn't mind hitting him again: "Sheng Chuhui and Sheng Chuxue are on good terms. As long as Sheng Chuxue ascends the throne, the world will belong to both Sheng Chuhui and Sheng Chuhui. But you are different. After all, you are a foreign minister. Even if you are granted a title, After Wang Jue, you still can't compare with Sheng Chuhui, who is a member of the direct royal family. Since Sheng Chuhui knows that you are uncontrollable, he will not choose you to achieve his own goals. He is very smart, so he must kill him. You, because if you can't sincerely help him, then you will be a serious problem for him, you understand."
"I didn't expect that I would be defeated by my allies in the end." Jiang Zehao took a sip of wine.
"Your biggest mistake is to trust Sheng Chuhui too much. If I were you, I would develop another confidant in the imperial capital. Your killers are only responsible for assassinations, and naturally they will not want to pass the news to you. If there is another Will you still raise an army for the person who delivers the news to you?" Yao Guang said.
"It's no longer important at this point. I'm curious about one thing now? Why is that elusive army so powerful?" Jiang Zehao smiled bitterly at first, then calmed down quickly and asked curiously.
"You are really an interesting person. Even now, you still care about this. Well, satisfy your curiosity. Have you ever heard of Yanyun One Hundred and Eight Riders?" Yao Guang said.
"Isn't that a legend in the martial arts world? Legend has it that there is a well-trained killer in the martial arts world, known as the One Hundred and Eight Riders of Yanyun. Each one of them is a top killer with advanced martial arts skills. He comes and goes without a trace, wherever he goes, Not a blade of grass grows. But no one has ever seen it in the world, so it is said to be a legend." Jiang Zehao replied.
"That's not a legend. The legends you heard are all facts. The reason why no one has seen it is because the Yanyun One Hundred and Eight Cavalry only kills the most treacherous and evil people. Most people can't see it, and there is no need to see it. As for those I saw, I can't tell you because they are all dead." Yao Guang took a sip of wine and smiled.
"Why do you know so well?" Jiang Zehao asked curiously.
"You are really curious. Well, if you are satisfied, I will be their master." Yao Guang said with a smile.
"You, you, you..." Jiang Zehao didn't say a word for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's not unfair to lose at your hands. I think I have guessed your true identity. You are the ghost." The traceless sect leader of Phoenix Villa. Hey, I deserve to die for messing with you. That's all. Kill me when." Jiang Zehao shook his head mockingly.
"It should be soon. The New Year is coming soon. There is no way to delay it until the New Year. You have already paid the price for what you have done. I have ordered your family members to be sent back to their place of origin. We cannot allow them to be rich and prosperous. At least they can have no food and clothing. Worry. However, your descendants can no longer serve as officials in the court. As for you, I specially intend to keep your body intact and mourn in secret. I think this is a way for me to accumulate some virtue for myself." Yao Guang said with a smile.
"The emperor? Can he agree?" Jiang Zehao asked. "And why are you?"
"I am the auxiliary emperor, and I still have this right. Too many people have died for this peaceful and prosperous age. My current status is also walking on many bones. If I can kill one less, I will kill one less. Having said that, the emperor is not a person who is easy to kill, so he will not stop me. In these few days, you will not be tortured again. You can eat and drink well and wait until you are on your way. I am gone. You Ah, you may be a hero in troubled times, but it's a pity that you were born in the wrong era and with the wrong master. At this time, I can't even save you." Yao Guang sighed.
"You won't send me away secretly. Anyway, I can't cause any trouble." Jiang Zehao joked.
"No, in order to beat you, my elf's hand was cut. You have to pay for it with your life. No negotiation." Yaoguang grabbed the dumpling-like paw of the big head bag and shook it. Walked away laughing.
"What's your excuse?" Jiang Zehao shouted, and then laughed.
Yaoguang walked out and looked at the officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment and said, "I have decreed that Jiang Zehao be held in solitary confinement. No one is allowed to visit him, and he is not allowed to be tortured again. He must eat and drink well every day. There must be no mistakes."
"Yes." The officials looked at each other and then nodded.
"Your Highness, are you leaving? If not, why don't you come back?" At this time, Jiang Zehao's voice came.
Yao Guang walked back curiously. "what?"
"Your Highness is a generous person. You should make a friend before you die. This ring is a family heirloom. I give it to you." Jiang Zehao used all his strength to pull off a gem ring from his hand and put it into Yao Guang's hand. Then he shook it hard.
Yao Guang nodded and left.
