The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1114 The truth is getting closer

Listening to them chatting in front of him, Ji Ran suddenly felt disrespected.

If you want to interrogate yourself, do it well!

The review is over, so let’s do what needs to be done!

"Cough cough..."

Ji Ran coughed lightly to remind the two, "Your Majesty, if you have anything else to ask, just ask! After that, it's time for me to get going! I only ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of my wife and children for the sake of their complete ignorance..."

From the moment he was secretly arrested, Ji Ran never thought he could survive.

He has been working under Yun Zheng for some time.

He knew that Yun Zheng was not a ruthless person, but he was also not a soft-hearted person.

Once a spy like him is found out, he will have no way out.

"You are quite straightforward!"

Yun Zheng smiled faintly, "When the princess first went to the Sifang County Prince's Mansion, she was almost ambushed. It was you who tipped off, right?"

"Yes!"

Ji Ran admitted it straightforwardly.

Yun Zheng stared at Ji Ran with burning eyes, "I have always sent people to secretly monitor you. How did you pass on the news that the princess and others went to Sifang County?"

Ji Ran's eyelids jumped. Not only did he not answer Yun Zheng's question, but he also asked Yun Zheng: "The prince never trusted me from the beginning?"

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "To be exact, I don't believe that you don't have anyone supporting you! Your background is too clean! So clean that I have to doubt it."

He thought at that time, if Ji Ran had no support behind him, how could he be promoted so quickly.

Unexpectedly, this is really the case.

However, he did not expect that the person who led Lajiran was actually the Imperial Censor Meng Ruowang.

When La Jiran was in power, Meng Ruowang was not yet the Chief Censor, but he was also working in the Censorate.

The Censorate had the power to supervise all officials and enforce discipline. Meng Ruowang pulled a wronged official out of the quagmire, which was completely the fulfillment of his duties as an official of the Censorate!

This is not only not forming cliques, but also beneficial to the court!

No matter how hard we search, we can't find any evidence that they are forming cliques.

I have to say that the person behind Meng Ruowang is quite smart!

"Your Majesty is really very meticulous!"

Ji Ran smiled bitterly, "However, Your Highness is too confident! Do you think that if you monitor me, I won't be able to pass on the news? I have been operating in Fuzhou for several years. There are so many people in the Governor's Mansion. Can Your Highness monitor them all?"

"That's true!"

Yun Zheng laughed in silence and asked, "Did Meng Ruowang ask you to do anything else?"

"No."

Ji Ran shook his head gently: "He just asked me to do what I should do. If there is anything, he will send someone to contact me! So, I don't know who he is."

So cautious?

However, this is consistent with the mouse's usual style!

Yun Zheng thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Who were those people who wanted to ambush and kill the princess and the others?"

"I really don't know this."

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "I only delivered the news that the princess and the others were going to the Sifang County Prince's Mansion to Bai Ya's people. I have no idea who they arranged to do it."

He doesn't even know this?

Yun Zheng frowned slightly.

"You don't want to tell me, or do you really not know?"

Yun Zheng stared at Ji Ran.

"My Lord, at this point, do I still need to hide this from you?"

Ji Ran smiled bitterly, "Although I am not a gentleman, I know how to be grateful! If my wife and children were not in Shuobei, I would not betray Lord Meng even if the prince tortured me."

"grateful?"

Miaoyin snorted softly: "Although the prince has never fully trusted you, he should have been pretty good to you, right? Since you know how to be grateful and have no worries, why didn't you confess everything to the prince earlier?"

Miaoyin’s question was also the question Yun Zheng wanted to ask.

If Ji Ran's wife and children were in the imperial city, they would be in danger at any time, so it was understandable that he did not dare to confess.

But his wife and children are all in Shuobei!

It's really not smart to not be honest like this!

"People always have a sense of luck."

Ji Ran laughed at himself, "I am a spy for others beside the prince, and I want to help others murder the princess and others. If the prince knows, will I still have a way to live? If I can live, who would want to die on their own initiative?"

If it was something else and he confessed, Yun Zheng would most likely spare his life.

But he wanted to help others murder Shen Luoyan and others, which touched Yun Zheng's bottom line.

In this situation, the chances of him surviving after confessing are too small.

Who would dare to gamble easily when it comes to matters concerning one’s life and property?

After listening to Ji Ran's words, Yun Zheng and Miao Yin were speechless.

It is understandable that Ji Ran thinks this way.

Yun Zheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who else is with you in Shuobei?"

Shuobei, maybe there are still people of theirs there.

It would be best if we could find them all at once.

"I only know where I am, I don't know anything else."

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "Your Majesty should know based on their style. They are very cautious people and will not put all their eggs in one basket."

"All right!"

Yun Zheng no longer dwelled on this matter, and said solemnly: "I will ask you one last time, do you know who is behind Meng Ruowang? As long as you tell me, I will not only protect the lives of your wife and children, but also give you a way to live!"

"I really do not know."

Ji Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I still trust the prince's credibility! If I knew, I would definitely tell him."

You really don’t know?

Yun Zheng frowned slightly and called Shen Kuan again.

"Put him in jail, and assign guards to keep him under strict supervision. Don't give him a chance to commit suicide!"

Yun Zheng instructed Shen Kuan.

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan took the order and waved his hand. Two guards immediately took Ji Ran away.

Ji Ran didn't struggle either, looking like he was ready to do whatever he wanted.

"It's great that we can find Meng Ruowang here."

Miaoyin comforted Yun Zheng, "As long as we find a chance to catch Meng Ruowang and interrogate him, the rat will be unable to hide! Or, it would be easier if you could just send someone to deliver a letter to your father and ask him to help you investigate."

"never mind!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "My father is seriously ill, so I won't bother him with this matter!"

That’s right, the investigation all leads to Meng Ruowang.

Only the last shiver remains.

Moreover, the other party is going to make a big move soon.

There should be a great chance of catching it this time.

“That’s up to you!”

Miaoyin didn't force it, "No matter what, we have gained a lot."

"Yes! That mouse can't hide for much longer!"

Yun Zheng nodded and asked Miaoyin, "Can you make a medicine that can make people obedient and answer whatever you ask?"

"What are you thinking! Where can I get such medicine?"

Miaoyin looked at him with amusement, "If you think Ji Ran has other secrets in his heart, you can ask someone to get him drunk and make him speak the truth! Just like you and Jiayao spoke the truth after drinking!"

"Cough cough..."

Yun Zheng coughed dryly and smiled embarrassedly, "That was all an accident!"
