Chapter 1875 Stop and fight 33
The emperor is currently in his prime, but at the age of forty, among the average age of an emperor, it is already considered dusk. Historically, kings have rarely been over fifty, and most of them are in their forties. They have already run out of oil, fell ill, committed suicide, or died in various coups and assassinations.
Concubine Feng has two sons. Although they are still young, one is five years old and the other is three years old, they are just in control if they ascend the throne at such an age.
Even if the target is not the emperor, but the third prince and Concubine Zheng Shu, just this operation can uproot Concubine Zheng Shu, and it will be very difficult to turn around in the future. So the throne is not the son of Concubine Feng?
Marquis Zhongyong felt terrified when he heard this, but his eyes suddenly lit up, as if the clouds had been cleared away.
Immediately sighed: "The county master is really a good-natured person, he can think so deeply."
You must know how difficult it is to make an analysis and judgment of what is happening now in a complicated environment, combined with various character relationships. These are the results of many days of discussion between him and his staff.
But Zhao Fuling thought deeper than him and his staff and thought of another possibility, and this possibility was extremely possible.
Ever since Concubine Feng became a talented person and climbed up the ladder, none of the princes in the palace survived except those she gave birth to. There were two princes before, but they both died due to accidents and illness. Although there is no evidence that Concubine Feng harmed the emperor's heirs, in this case, her two sons and one daughter can be saved, and Concubine Feng is by no means a fuel-saving lamp.
At present, Concubine Feng should also have her own party members and plot a bigger conspiracy. This is entirely possible.
But these are just possibilities. Without evidence, there are only conjectures.
Xining smiled slightly: "The Marquis is laughing, but what do you think about the next thing?"
Marquis Zhongyong said frankly: "Quanzi was stabbed twice in succession. The officials sent officers and soldiers to protect him. He thought he would restrain himself and there would be no way to assassinate him again. However, if the officials knew about it and the assassin testified against the third prince, it might cause an uproar. Even so. The officials don't believe it, and they can't help but be afraid. The three princes are better than other princes in civil and military affairs."
The words were stopped here. No need to go on to say that Concubine Zheng Shu had given birth to a good son, and her mother's family had a strong backing, so she was the perfect choice for the crown prince.
Seeing that the third prince's wings were gradually becoming fuller, Concubine Feng became interested.
Xining turned to ask: "Uncle He, has the assassin changed his confession?"
Uncle He replied: "I'm struggling, I think it'll be here soon."
Uncle He also didn't expect that his village leader would be so powerful now. He couldn't help but admire what he said just now, not to mention Marquis Zhongyong. As expected, the leader of the village got enlightened after knocking his head!
After Xining thought for a while, he stood up: "I'll go and have a meeting."
Uncle He quickly stopped: "How can this be done? It's very dirty there."
Xining smiled: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to celebrate my birthday. It would be best if I ask today. Otherwise, if the officials ask me tomorrow, I can't continue to pretend to be stupid."
The Minister of Punishment has been fooled, but if the emperor asks for someone to be handed over, who dares to refuse in front of him. Therefore, it was delayed for a day. Who asked for pinching at this time?
"I'll go take a look together." Marquis Zhongyong also stood up: "Just stand outside and won't disturb the county lord."
The person who assassinated was his own son, so it was natural. And if Marquis Zhongyong really wants to go see him, who can stop him? Xining nodded in agreement and let Uncle He lead the way out of the living room.
The two killers were imprisoned separately, separated by a distance, but when they screamed at the top of their lungs, they could hear each other's screams. At this time, the small courtyard was extremely quiet, because there was no need to torture him at this time. Three consecutive days of torture was enough, and another method was currently used.
Before entering the room, I smelled a strong smell of blood and an overpowering stench. When being tortured, incontinence was unavoidable, and in order to prevent the assassin from committing suicide, the binding must be strong and he did not dare to loosen it. The assassin's food, drink, and diarrhea were all inside.
"Master Hou, let's go in together. It would be nice to have a witness." Xining stepped in.
Marquis Zhongyong followed without hesitation.
The condition inside can be described as horrific, just like in the TV series, with a brazier in the middle and several soldering irons inside.
This brazier is a good thing. The hot iron can be used for interrogation, and it can usually increase the indoor temperature. You must know that the person being interrogated has become weak in body. If he catches cold at night, he will easily die of cold and illness. Therefore, the whole room was made hot by the brazier, making the stench in the room even stronger.
An assassin had his coat stripped off and was tied to a cross naked, his body covered with scars. The trousers were also in tatters due to whipping and ironing. At this time, he was in a daze, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be breathing out more and taking in less air.
There were four strong men in the room, two of them were resting on the couch nearby, and two more strong men were standing beside the assassin. As soon as the assassin closed his eyes, he would whip up and force him not to sleep.
If the whip is useless, there is a bucket of water next to it with salt in it. If you pick it up and pour it on, the painful taste will immediately wake the assassin up and howl so loud that even his own mother cannot recognize him.
If he still doesn't wake up, I'll give him pepper water and tiger stool. Anyway, I'll try my best to prevent him from sleeping.
Xining stood in front of the assassin and looked him up and down.
Uncle He really wanted to drag her out. What is a girl doing here? Even if he is a bandit, he is only in name. Now that's fine, but how will his future father-in-law regard him?
Xining said: "Looking at you, you are also a tough guy. I guess you don't have something to hide, and you won't be like this. Our Black Tiger Village values heroes, but we also have clear grudges. If you don't tell us, it will make it difficult for us. The leader of this village Even if I want to give you a way to survive, I can’t point it out.”
The assassin had long since lost his strength due to not sleeping for many days and being tortured. His voice was unusually hoarse: "Don't do this. If you want to kill or behead, you have to do whatever you want."
"It's very simple to let you die, just stab it in with a knife." Xining calmly comforted: "But what about your family?"
When she mentioned her family, the assassin's eyebrows seemed to move, and she caught even the smallest movements.
As a dead soldier, or as an orphan, he was raised from a young age and his brain was cleansed. Or if the family members are caught, the whole family will be killed if they dare to betray.
"Don't think that he will be kind to your family. You are dead, so why should you support your family? Those people are useless to him." Xining began to encourage and try to use this to create a breakthrough. : "Even if you are dead, he doesn't have to worry. Only if you are alive, watching, and asking questions all the time. He will worry about whether you will take revenge if he kills your family."

"They are the most dangerous if you die!"
After the assassin's chapped lips squirmed, his bloody teeth forced a hoarse voice: "How can I be sure that you can let me go after I said it?"
