Chu Qianmu tried his best to calm down first, and then called the housekeeper over and asked him where the princess learned about Lingrou.
If she had only listened to the words of the people in the city, she would never have believed it so thoroughly!
When the old housekeeper came, he immediately told the story that it was Zhao Wu who used to be a gatekeeper in the mansion and was later appreciated by the prince and promoted to the army.
After hearing this name, Chu Qianmu, who was still hesitant about what Shen Zhizhi said just now, stopped struggling completely. He punched the table as if resigned to his fate, gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard!"
Zhao Wu was the subordinate who encouraged him to take to the streets!
"Come here, bring Zhao Wu to me!"
At this moment, Zhao Wu was happily counting his twenty-five taels of silver at home, but unexpectedly someone came and said that the prince wanted to see him. He panicked in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he had not done anything evil. Is it considered immoral to help the prince lead a red line?
That definitely doesn’t count!
So he hid the money in the cabinet and went to the palace with the visitor.
But he didn't expect that besides the prince, there would be the emperor and the seventh prince in the study!
There is also a little doll that comes from nowhere! She has been staring at him since he walked in. The look in his eyes looked familiar... but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before.
But later, when Zhao Wu left the room sideways, he finally remembered where he had seen those eyes. Wasn't that the way they looked when they went into the mountains to see the monkeys?
Zhao Wu had just come in standing upright, so he still hadn't figured out what Shen Zhizhi's look meant, but it was true that it made him feel uncomfortable.
He tried his best to ignore the dazzling eyes that were like the golden Buddha, and tremblingly knelt down to salute one by one.
"I wonder what the prince wants to tell me when he calls me here?"
Zhao Wu tried his best to ignore the uneasiness in his heart, his face turning into chrysanthemums with a smile.
However, before he could finish laughing, he was kicked in the stomach by King Kang and almost flew out.
He groaned and begged for mercy in horror: "My lord, please have mercy on me, my lord, please have mercy on me!"
"You bitch slave, who gave you the courage to spread rumors all over the capital that I want to take a concubine!"
Chu Qianmu looked gloomy: "How dare you spread this false news to the palace, to the princess and the young prince! I think you have worn it on your head for a long time, and you want to take it off to play with it, don't you?!"
Shen Zhizhi blinked, and the image of Zhao Wu standing guard holding his head tremblingly appeared in his mind.
[Ah...it's not that scary, but it's a bit eye-catching. 】
Zhao Wu on the ground was stunned when he heard this. How could the prince know about this? When he sent someone to deliver the letter, he clearly threatened not to reveal his name! ! !
Which bitch betrayed him!
Zhao Wu didn't care to think about the cause and effect, and hurriedly crawled back to beg for mercy, claiming that he was not the one who spread the rumor, but was kicked again by Chu Qianmu. Chu Qianmu's kick was no joke.
After Zhao Wu was kicked twice, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He was trembling and did not dare to step forward. He was filled with sadness and wondered if he would die because of this incident!
However, before he could finish his thoughts, he saw King Kang saying with a fierce look: "If you don't explain clearly the cause and effect of the matter, I will remove your hands and feet and sew them on your head today!"
Zhao Wu had not yet reacted to this sentence, but Shen Zhizhi laughed again.
【Everyone thinks I have horns on my head~】
[He is my head with arms and legs hahahahaha~]
Zhao Wu was slow to admit his mistake because he heard Shen Zhizhi's laughter. Then Chu Qianmu called the guards and beat him up. In the end, his whole face was swollen like a pig's head and his teeth were knocked out. After a few pills, my words were leaked.
"Your Majesty! I'm so embarrassed! I'm so embarrassed!"
Unable to bear the torture, Zhao Wu reached out to Chu Qianmu with runny nose and tears. Only then did he finally get rid of the kicks and punches of the guards and was dragged back from the door.
"I will only give you one chance. If what you say is false, I will throw you out to feed the pigs."
Probably because he really didn't want to die in a pig's mouth, Zhao Wu burst into tears and explained everything he had done with a gaping mouth.
Including Lingrou bribed him to bribe Li Yang, the accompanying imperial physician, and asked him to spread news in the city and use rumors to oppress King Kang.
Everything is exactly the same as what Chu Qianmu heard from Shen Zhizhi!
After learning everything, Chu Qianmu did not get angry as Zhao Wu thought. Instead, he turned to look at Shen Zhizhi in Chu Moyuan's arms and smiled happily.
His little niece is definitely not a thing in the pond!
Chu Moyuan & Chu Shuanglan: "..."
Shen Zhizhi blinked. Was her uncle Kang Wang stupid because of the stimulation? Not only did he not get angry, why did he laugh?
Zhao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, also thought that the prince was crazy and was almost scared out of his wits: "My lord, please have mercy! My lord, please have mercy! The little one is being threatened! The woman said that if the little one doesn't help her, she will I want to kill the little one!
"She is also holding a big knife that is so long!!!" Zhao Wu stretched out his arms and desperately described how long the big knife was.
[Oh, is it really a 40-meter sword? 】
Zhao Wu: "My lord, do you believe in the little one? With one swing of her sword, the little one was cut in half! The little one couldn't run or fly at that time!"
King Kang snorted coldly: "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I am easy to deceive?"
Zhao Wu: "..."
He was silent for a moment, and then kowtowed three times: "If there is any lie in what I just said, I will be eaten by pigs when I go out!!!"
[Such a poisonous oath must be true. After all, I just confessed because I was afraid of being eaten by pigs...]
"Are the other assassins also fake?"
Zhao Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked in horror at the emperor who spoke for the first time, and immediately kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, you are really wise and powerful! Yes! Those assassins are also fake! We really don't want to hurt the prince! We just want to draw a red line for the prince! The emperor is aware of it!"
Chu Moyuan: "What are the original identities of those assassins?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wu hesitated a little, and then he was kicked by Chu Qianmu: "Speak quickly!"
Zhao Wu swallowed and then said: "Those, those...those are brothers in the army..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wu immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere had dropped to freezing point, and he hurriedly said:
"They, they are also being threatened! They really don't want to harm the prince, and it's really just them. I originally wanted to find a few others, but the others refused to comply!
"Your Majesty, don't be angry! It's really just them!"
After hearing this, Chu Qianmu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his face turned pale. He couldn't believe that those assassins were actually his own soldiers disguised as soldiers!
Even just because of those five taels of silver!
"You! You! You bunch of beasts! You are simply unforgivable!"
Chu Moyuan seemed to have already guessed the truth, his expression did not change much, but the words he said made Zhao Wuru fall into the ice cave.
"I ordered King Wu, Zhao Wu, Li Yang, and everyone involved in this incident to be cut in half at the entrance of Dongshi Street at noon tomorrow. Their bodies were abandoned in the forest to feed wolves, and their heads were cut off and hung on the city wall as a warning to others. ."
