Prince Han Sien

Faced with Li Zhong's frank admission, Yuan Qing paused in wiping his hands with a handkerchief.He put away the handkerchief in his arms, stood up and walked in front of Li Zhong, frowned and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Master Li admits it now? Didn't you say that the bones of scholars are so hard?"

Li Zhong smiled lowly, looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Although the Supervisor of Rituals has always been famous for his criminal law, I'm not afraid. I didn't want to admit it at first, but when I saw the person who made me fall into such a state, I suddenly wanted to open it." I don’t think there is any reason to protect the third prince anymore, who made him and Shizi Han cousins, why should I endure the punishment of the Supervisor of Rituals again for the sake of the third prince?”

Yuan Qing was stunned by Li Zhongdayi's awe-inspiring frankness. He looked at Han Si'en who was sitting leaning in front of the desk, and thought of the status of this person in the emperor's heart, he said with a trace of respect: "Your Majesty thinks it's still worth it. Do you need to be punished?"

Han Si'en didn't lift his face when he heard this, and said: "Since you admit it, then write down the details of your acquaintance and transaction with the third prince, and sign it."

Yuan Qing heard Han Si'en's words, and sighed in his heart that all the methods he had learned could not be used on Li Zhong.He said to Li Zhong: "In this case, Mr. Li, let's start." After saying this, he turned and returned to his seat.

Seeing that things didn't go according to the script he thought, Li Zhong felt extremely unwilling, so he yelled at Han Si'en: "You sick child, you won't live to be an adult, I want to see what you can do to me ?”

Han Si'en finally looked at him this time, with a little interest in his eyes, he slowly stood up and walked to Li Zhong, squatted down, looked at Li Zhong and said with a smile: "You scolded me like that just to annoy me, I can't help but torture me, and then you are committing suicide to show your ambition and push everything on me?"

Li Zhong's face remained unchanged, he stared at him with his lips pursed.

Han Sien continued to say gently: "If you are willing to explain, start talking, don't waste each other's time, if you don't want to, you can continue to suffer, and we will come back tomorrow. But you must also understand the emperor's temper. , your Li family must be doomed. But if what you say makes the emperor not so happy, the heirs of your Li family will suffer. I am afraid that the men will be servants for generations, and the women will be slaves for generations. These servants and slaves can only be disposed of and sold at will, and life and death are involuntary. If I were you, I would honestly confess that I might be exiled for another three thousand miles. Although you are still wearing a sinful body, your Li family The person whose surname is Li still burns some paper for you during the Ching Ming Festival."

Li Zhong's expression finally changed when he heard this.The moment Han Sien stood up, Li Zhong suddenly spat out blood. If Han Sien hadn't stood up quickly, the blood would have fallen on the hem of his clothes.Seeing this situation, Li Zhong thought of the scene where his secret room was opened, and thought in his heart, is this God's will?

But he didn't take God's will in his eyes, but looked at Han Sien viciously, and said, "You are so vicious, you will have retribution sooner or later." Li Zhong was also afraid in his heart, but he didn't dare to mention it. The second prince's name, if he doesn't tell the truth, he will die. If he tells the truth, the queen mother will not let the Li family off.

According to rumors, the death of the first emperor was related to the queen mother. It is said that the current emperor witnessed his mother killing his father, so the emperor who just ascended the throne was a bit cowardly and did not have much power in his hands.Although these are all rumors, Li Zhong knows that there are some things that are always easy to deal with.

If the Li family were really exiled for three thousand miles, there would be too many people who died for no reason.In the final analysis, the bones were buried in the barren mountains and swallowed by wolves and wild beasts.If he is willing to keep the secret in his heart, the emperor is more lenient than the queen mother after all, there may be some room for relaxation.

After confirming who the prince in Li Zhong's heart is, Han Si'en said in a low voice: "If I knew today, why bother to do it in the first place. Don't talk about your embezzled money, just talk about the half box of folding fans. Which one is it?" There is no blood of innocent people on it? After thinking about it, you met me, this is God's death, and I really can't blame others."

After he said these words that poked Li Zhongxin, he stood up and walked back to his seat, and continued to sit on the seat with a careless look.Zhang Hanping looked at Yuan Qing and Han Si'en, and asked someone to pass the pen and ink to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong held the pen tremblingly, and the ink dripped on the snow-white paper, but just after writing a word, he fell to the ground exhausted.

Zhang Hanping had someone pour several pots of cold water on him, but he didn't wake him up.Seeing this situation, Han Sien stood up and said, "Since there is no result in today's interrogation, I will return to the palace first."

After hearing this, Zhang Hanping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are still many interrogation methods in Dali Temple. No matter whether he is really dizzy or fake, the officials can always wake him up."

Han Si'en gave Zhang Hanping a cool look, and said, "Master Zhang, if he doesn't speak, are you planning to kill him today?"

Zhang Hanping had always been favored in front of the emperor, but this was the first time someone said that, and he felt a little displeased.At this moment, Yuan Qing stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, although the time is tight, the emperor has not given a time limit for interrogation, so let's take him back today. It's good to see, our family and the prince will return to the palace first." gone."

After all, Zhang Hanping has been in the officialdom for many years, and his displeasure towards Han Sien did not show on his face. Although he was annoyed that Han Sien didn't take him seriously, he still responded with a smile on his face: "The son and Yuan Father-in-law is considerate, and it is time for Lord Li to think clearly, the next official will let someone take care of Lord Li."

Yuan Qingchao Zhang Hanping nodded, Han Sien turned and left without even looking at him.

Back in the palace, Yuan Qing told the emperor the results of the interrogation in detail, including the conversation between Han Sien and Li Zhong. Even in front of Han Sien, what Yuan Qing said was the same. Word for word.

Hearing this, the emperor became more angry, and his beard turned up. He looked at Han Si'en and said, "I asked you to assist in the investigation of the case. You are fine. You are going to threaten someone? In the end, if you didn't make a threat, can you live?" Said that he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted?"

Han Si'en said: "Back to the emperor, I just thought that the thief Li Zhong would never tell the truth when I was there, so I wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect him to be so scared, it seems that I have a guilty conscience. "

The emperor twitched his mouth. He really had the idea of ​​degrading the men of the Li family to be servants and the women to be slaves.Now that Han Sien said that, this idea is a little bit weaker.I always feel that everything I do has been taken care of by Han Sien, which is a hindrance to his emperor's face.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Han Si'en and said, "Li Zhong told him that the person who sent him the correspondence was the third prince?"

Han Si'en hummed, and the emperor's face turned pale, "If this is the case, then let the third prince stay at home and contemplate his mistakes."

The emperor didn't want to see the third prince Ji Luo, but he never thought of letting him die.So what happened to the Li family was written by Ji Luo, and only the emperor, Yuan Bao, and Han Si'en knew about it.

Now the emperor asked Ji Luo to contemplate behind closed doors, except for a hint of warning, in a way, it also made Ji Luo hide from everyone's sight.

After saying these words, the emperor asked Han Si'en and Yuan Qing to retreat. Before leaving, the emperor said: "Don't go to Dali Temple tomorrow, your mouth is too strong, if you go for a few more days, you may directly kill people." Mad."

Han Sien naturally took the lead.After he and Yuan Qing left the imperial study, Yuan Qing looked at Han Si'en and said with a smile: "The prince is kind-hearted after all. If the prince hadn't reminded him, Mr. Li would have bitten the third prince to death, which made the Lord Long live unhappy." , then the outcome of the descendants of the Li family may be more sad than being a slave."

Han Si'en looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Grandpa Yuan Qing's words are off the mark. I have formed a deadly feud with their Li family. What should I remind him of?"

Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said: "Li Zhong is biting at random, after all, the prince's heart is for the third prince." In that case, everything Han Sien said would be passed on to the emperor's ears, so it seems to be the best result up.

Han Si'en sneered when he heard Yuan Qing's words, and lazily said: "Grandpa Yuan Qing, this palace is too big, and everyone is more or less powerful. If he bites the third prince, the third prince must have that ability, right?" ? But no matter what, the emperor still has to believe, don’t you think the third prince was ordered by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors?”

Han Si'en felt a little wronged, he really didn't say those things because of Ji Luo today, he just felt that the matter has successfully aroused his interest now.

The emperor now wants to use him to purge the court to poke people's hearts and minds, and to find out some old events by the way. He has almost figured out the causes of those events, but everything needs to be witnessed by someone, and the Li family is also a witness. It doesn't hurt to collect and prepare a bit.

Seeing that Han Si'en didn't admit it, Yuan Qing smiled, but didn't say anything.These people are just trying to survive in the cracks, and occasionally say something they know well, and if others don't answer it, they won't continue to ask.

After Han Si'en and Yuan Qing said goodbye, they walked towards Han's house.As soon as he arrived at the door, Han Zhuo's servant was waiting for him there, saying that the Duke of the Kingdom invited him to the study.

Han Sien used to be in the mood to act for Han Zhuo, but now that he has found something more interesting and interesting to him, he has no time to talk to Han Zhuo, so he directly refuses to go to the study to see Han Zhuo because he is not feeling well.

The boy was stunned by Han Sien's rejection.Seeing the back of Han Sien leaving, the boy turned around and walked quickly towards Han Zhuo's study.

Han Si'en didn't have time to talk to him, and walked straight towards his Fang Lanyuan. As for how many teacups Han Zhuo broke because of anger, he naturally didn't know.

Han Si'en is just thinking now, how can he solve the emperor's problems, or how to bring those seemingly irrelevant people together, who should appear next?

Han Si'en thought for a long time, and wrote a white word crookedly on the white paper with a pen.Then he nodded in satisfaction. The queen mother is still in a position that is difficult for him to attack. Let's start with some small people.
